cat blues

The decoration style of the coffee shop is also very heavenly, and the whole coffee shop is even shining, but fortunately, the light emitted by the coffee shop is very weak and does not give people excessive visual stimulation.

"Everyone sit down, although it is a coffee shop in heaven, it should be no different from the one in this world." Mother Edogawa enthusiastically brought everyone in, "Although it is a coffee shop, it also provides coffee for ordinary families. cooking."

While talking, a waitress in a beautiful dress came over, "Ten guests, one animal guest, right? Please follow us to the booth here."

The Heavenly Kingdom Cafe obviously didn't mind them bringing food bought outside. After the waitress took them to the two rows of booths next to them, left them with two menus, and left with a smile.

Everyone was very curious about what the cafe in Heaven would sell. A group of people went over to look through the menu for a while, and they found many strange contents in the menu.

"Uh, what is this snapdragon juice? There are words such as refreshing at the bottom..." Dazai Osamu was the first one to die, and he raised his hand and tapped the weird drink pattern that everyone else avoided. superior.

"Oh, my brother has a good taste. Snapdragon juice is literally squeezed from snapdragon grass." Edogawa's father gave him a thumbs up, "Snapdragon grass is a specialty of hell. I remember there are They sell a lot of decorations with snapdragon patterns."

"Wait a minute, is this goldfish grass really a goldfish growing on grass?" Yosano Akiko was very curious, "Then is this an animal or a plant?"

"About the matter of snapdragon grass, there are many researchers in that world, but no one has come to any conclusions so far." Edogawa's father continued to explain with a smile, "Generally speaking, it is an animal and plant. I remember you I came here with Lord Ghost Lamp, and I will definitely visit hell when I come back. There are more snapdragons in hell, and they are bigger, and different from heaven, the goldfish part of snapdragons in hell is very delicious. , A piece of sashimi can even go to a state banquet."

Different from Dazai Osamu’s bright eyes and decisive choice of snapdragon juice as a drink, Yosano Akiko showed a very curious look, “So is the goldfish part of this snapdragon grass a plant or an animal? It can be squeezed and cut into pieces. Sashimi... sounds incredible."

"We don't know. After all, we haven't studied it carefully. Maybe the snapdragon grass was a pure plant when it was young. When it grows up, it turns into an animal?" Edogawa's father saw many things in the other world. , I have learned not to delve into many things.

Except for a series of wonderful menus related to snapdragons, other things in this cafe are quite normal. Even if you don’t know what the ingredients are, you can feel the absolute taste just by looking at the pictures.

In addition to the beverages for humans, there are beverages and snacks for animals in the back, but Yujimao only ordered a cup of coffee for cats and finished. To be honest, it is really curious about what the coffee for cats will taste like.

After the group finished ordering, Zhong also took a magazine from the magazine rack in the coffee shop, and saw that "The Waka Festival of Murasaki Shikibu and Seisho Nagon" and "Izumi Shikibu" were printed on the cover. There are also words such as "New Waka" and "New Works of Ono Komachi".

"What?" Zhong couldn't help but immediately pushed the magazine to the middle of the table, and turned around to get another one.This time, he not only saw the magazine and the previous and subsequent issues of that magazine on the magazine rack, but also a comic with the first issue of "Hokusai Manga" printed on it in a big way.

Out of curiosity, he took it together, "Hokusai's manga is..."

"Katsushika Hokusai said." Edogawa's mother said with a smile. She ignored the widened eyes of the people around her and said with a smile, "There is a booklet of "Hokusai Manga" in the bookstore over there. There are works by Murasaki Shikibu, Kiyosohonagon, and many other authors."

"I'll come as soon as I go!" Nakahara Chuya rushed out after finishing speaking.

"Let's go too!" Dazai Osamu and Akutagawa Ryunosuke also rushed out together.

"Aren't you going, Oda?" Fukuzawa Yukichi looked curiously at Sakunosuke Oda on the other side.

"I can't, Dazai will remember to bring me one." Oda Sakunosuke greeted the waitress, ordered all the meals they ordered, and at the same time did not forget to ask

"But we really didn't expect that you, Ranpo, can write novels. It's amazing." Edogawa Ranpo had shown off this to his parents before, and Edogawa's mother was very happy smiling, holding his face and looking at his son.

"Hmph, Ranpo-sama is omnipotent, ahhh!" Edogawa Ranpo raised his head triumphantly, not forgetting to take another bite of the marshmallow in his hand.

"Yes, yes..." After they chatted happily for a while, the waitress in the coffee shop brought all the dishes, and the people who went to the bookstore to buy books came back with some regret.

"Why did you buy so many copies?" Yosano Akiko who was sitting on the seat scooped up a scoop of ice cream and put it into her mouth looked a little strangely at them coming back with only a few shallow bags.

"There are only a few copies of "Hokusai Manga" over there. The boss said that there is a complete set in the bookstore in Hell, and suggested that we go there to buy, so we didn't buy manga, but I bought two art books." Ryunosuke Akutagawa He put a paper bag in his hand on the table and handed it to Fukuzawa Yukichi, "There is also a printed picture scroll of Katsushika Hokusai inside."

"Thank you..." Fukuzawa Yukichi also thanked him very politely. He really liked Katsushika Hokusai's picture scrolls. It was a pleasant surprise to receive such a gift, but he was used to being serious and wanted to change to something more It is also difficult to put it mildly.

Edogawa Luanbo swallowed the last cloud cotton candy in his hand, and asked them curiously, "Did you buy any other author's books?"

"No, how should I put it..." Osamu Dazai took out two novels with very elegant bindings from the paper bag in his hand, "Murashi Shikibu and Seisho Nagon both have quite a few works, but..."

"Most of them are about love, and it's not bad. At least the beauty of the writing is worth learning. However, more works of Murasaki Shikibu are currently writing BL, while Qingshao Nayan Just published a lot of beauty books..."

Osamu Dazai has a headache when he thinks about what he saw in the bookstore. He doesn't object to BL, but it's too embarrassing for him to read these things as a straight man.

"I thought Yosano you might like it, so I bought a few copies for you, and the others... We can't afford to buy them." Nakahara also handed a paper bag to Yosano Akiko, "I'm fine, I bought a few collections of poetry, but it is said that the waka poets here prefer to do waka on the spot, and there is no willingness to contribute afterwards..."

"I can only say that it really is worthy of being a kingdom of heaven." Zhong also sighed and sat back down again.

"Let's not talk about that, let's have a drink." Osamu Dazai looked at the snapdragon juice on the table, and happily sat down quickly. The snapdragon juice is a very subtle scarlet color, but because of the addition of sparkling water, It looks quite good, and there is a small snapdragon-shaped ornament on the top of the straw inserted in the cup.

Dazai Osamu immediately took a big sip, and then his face turned blue, "It's super bitter, and it smells like fish..."

"Drink what you order yourself." Zhongyuan Zhong also said without hesitation because he was not used to him.

Yuji Maomao looked at his cat drinking coffee, and stuck out his tongue out of curiosity to lick it. It was delicious!Yuji Maomao looked at the drink in the cup, and couldn't help but want to turn the menu page, wanting to see what's in the ingredient list to make such a wonderful coffee.

The others were also very curious about this cup of cat coffee, and after taking a look at it, they found that the first ingredient in the list was actually snapdragon grass.

The snapdragon feels so versatile.

The few people who saw clearly showed subtle expressions.

Both Edogawa's father and Edogawa's mother are talkative people. When sitting at the same table with them, there is no need to worry about finding a suitable topic, especially when these two deliberately avoid any and worldly things. Related topics, when introducing the kingdom of heaven in a humorous tone, everyone felt something unprecedented. The two of them are really dead, and they have fully accepted this fact, and even passed this fact. , Tell my son that they are doing well now and don't need his son to worry about things.

Ranpo Edogawa naturally knew this too, even at the beginning, he expressed the same meaning to his parents, he is living a very good life now, has a very good president, and has a big cat who takes good care of himself , and like-minded partners.

Seeing the interaction of the three members of their family, the others were a little complicated, but before they felt any melancholy, the big cat had already patted their heads one by one, and instantly made them all recover.A group of people immediately squeezed over and rubbed against the big cat.

"Okay, let's go to the lucky draw for the last excursion before leaving for Taoyuan Township." Out of the coffee shop, Edogawa's mother said to them with a smile, "Leave us all the things that are inconvenient to carry with you." , we will find a suitable courier to send it to you."

"Thank you very much." Akutagawa Ryunosuke decisively poured out all the fruits and vegetables stuffed inside with the Rashomon, and he was finally able to get rid of the feeling of being full.

"Goodbye, I hope I don't see you here too early in the future." Edogawa's mother finally gave her son a big hug, and then hugged Fukuzawa Yukichi next to him, hugging the serious man a little Confused, he let go of his hand in satisfaction, "For future detective work, work hard."

"I will definitely become the number one detective in the world!" Edogawa Ranpo said loudly like a child, "I promise!"

"Well, we all believe that you can do it." Edogawa and his wife stood together and smiled gently at their son.

After saying the last words, the people on both sides turned their heads at the same time and walked towards the two ends of the street respectively.
