cat blues

"Come on, let's start the snowball fight group now! The president, Oda, and Mr. Yukichi are the referees, and Mr. Yukichi will draw lots for the groups. The use of special abilities is prohibited in snowball fights, and hard objects are prohibited inside and outside the snowball." Edogawa Ranbu stood in the middle of the grove where the terrain was still very complicated and said loudly, "A battle lasts for 10 minutes, and there is 3 minutes of preparation time before the start. The points are scored according to the parts hit by the snowball, and the battle ends. The team with the highest score wins.”

"Simple and clear." Zhong also shook his arm vigorously.

"No problem..." rubbed hands with Yosano Akiko.

"Hey, I don't want to move." Osamu Dazai couldn't help but said dejectedly, "The skiing yesterday has almost exhausted my energy, I just want to sleep in the room now."

Kunikida Doppo pushed the glasses on his face with some dissatisfaction, "Dazai, cheer me up!"

"Oh, it's so troublesome." Dazai Osamu shouted in frustration.

Today's weather is quite good. It seems that because of the heavy snowfall last night, today's daytime is clear and cloudless, and the sun can even give people a warm illusion.

Edogawa Ranbo looked at the big snow mountain in the sun, and originally thought about pulling the big cat to make a big snowman, but saw a lot of people on the other side running around to watch the three-dimensional picture scroll that Mao Mao made yesterday , he was a little unhappy again.

It's not that I'm not happy that my big cat's craftsmanship is seen by others, but because if the big cat makes Fukuzawa Yukichi's one-to-one snowman, and other people come to watch, it will feel too strange.

So he decided to give up the activity of making a snowman and play something more interesting.But forget about skiing, he doesn't know how to do it, and he doesn't want to learn it.

After hesitating for less than a second, Ranpo Edogawa decided, let's have a snowball fight together.

Snowball fights are not allowed to use supernatural powers, so the passive Oda Sakunosuke must be excluded, and then the president must also be excluded. After all, if the president does not use supernatural powers, he can hang up and fight all the staff by himself.In the end, Mr. Yukichi is the referee. After all, Mr. Yukichi really doesn’t feel like a cat who can play snowball fights.

Edogawa Ranpo made a few phone calls as soon as he thought of it, quickly called everyone over, and then announced the rules of the game.

As for scoring, with him and Dazai on the field, there is absolutely no possibility of scoring errors, so the referee team is actually in charge of watching, ah, and also responsible for drawing lots and grouping.

After all, with him and Dazai here, if there are two of them, they can be grouped in any way they want, which is too boring, let Mr. Yukichi draw lots.

After everyone arrived, Ranpo Edogawa quickly announced the rules of the game. The rules were simple and clear, and everyone had no objections except Osamu Dazai who wanted to be lazy.

While Edogawa Ranpo was explaining the rules, Yujimaomao had already pinched out a lottery barrel with great ingenuity, and pinched four more snow sticks. After doing these things, he happily ran over to show others , Osamu Dazai once again lamented that his Yukichi cat hand is too coincidental!

Because the big cats were operating the whole process, no one had any objections after the lottery results came out. The first match was Dazai and Kunikida VS Nakahara Chuya and Yosano Akiko, and Edogawa Ranpo had a bye.

Because it is not a purely empty field, but a small forest with obstacles everywhere, so this time the snowball fight can barely take care of the brains who are not good at sports. The base camps of both sides are behind a large area of ​​snow-covered bushes. There is a small forest in front, and there is an open space on the right side, which can not only allow people to play hide-and-seek in the small forest, but also allow bold and capable people to fight head-on there.

There is still 3 minutes of preparation time before the start of the battle. During the preparation time, Nakahara Chuya, Yosano Akiko, and Kunikida Doppo are all rolling snowballs as ammunition for the fight later, but Dazai Osamu is very SAO over there With his back to Kunikida Doppo and the referees, he didn't know what he was doing.

Because of this, Kunikida Doppo has quite a headache, but he can't command Dazai Osamu, so he can only feel depressed by himself.

Compared with the situation on their side, Nakahara Chuya and Yosano Akiko on the other side seem to be much more harmonious. Because of the prohibition of using supernatural powers, the two of them quickly collect white snow, and the other moves faster. Snowball comes out.Speaking of the compatibility between the two of them is quite good, it is better to say that everyone has a good compatibility with Zhongye Zhongye, even a certain little rabbit Zaizhi is the same, of course a certain little rabbit Zaizhi himself will never admit this.

After noticing this somewhat strange picture, Yukichi Maomao couldn't help but wanted to go around to take a look curiously, but was stopped by Oda Sakunosuke.

"After all, it is Dazai. He may have his own ideas. We are just referees. We just need to watch the game." Yukichi Maomao nodded knowingly when he heard what Oda Sakunosuke said. In time, Ranpo Edogawa went to snowball.

3 minutes passed quickly, Yuji Maomao also rolled a big snowball over, Edogawa ran the snowball and fell apart after a few laps, so he just helped Yuji the big cat roll the snow in its paws ball.

After the snowball rolled over, the big cat Yukichi patted the snowball that had already rolled quite firmly, and motioned for Fukuzawa Yukichi to sit on it. As a basic duty of a referee, he raised his hand and waved down, "Xuehe battle, let's start."

The moment his words fell, a snowball precisely hit the face of Kunikida Doppo who had just poked his head out from behind the cover, knocking the glasses on his face a little crooked.

"Awesome!" Unexpectedly, it was Nakahara Chuya who said the compliment. Yukichi Maomao looked over in shock, and saw Yosano Akiko retracting her throwing hand, and proudly grabbed another Yuki Throwing the ball up and down in his hand, "I didn't just keep my head down in my books when I was in medical school. I was a pitcher for the women's softball team."

Kunikida Doppo hid behind the bunker again, pushed the glasses on his face and asked Osamu Dazai who didn't know what he was doing, "Dazai, if you don't have anything to instruct, I'll go up directly!"

"Oh, come on Kunikida!" Osamu Dazai whispered to Kunikida Doppo as if he really wasted those 3 minutes.

A vein popped out of Kunikida Dupo's forehead again, but it was quickly suppressed by him. He took a deep breath. He didn't use much of his supernatural power these years, but his breathing method never stopped. However, he is naturally proficient in the whole breathing routine.

Mr. Ranpo just said that you are not allowed to use supernatural powers, but he didn't say that you don't need to use breathing techniques, let alone that everyone knows this!There is no possibility of foul play!

Kunikida Doppo speeded up instantly, and the figure flashed under the tree on one side in an instant, and at the same time threw the snowball in his hand towards the two people on the other side.

The reaction speed of the two over there was also extremely fast, one of them sideways avoided the snowball, and the next second, Kunikida Doppo's other snowball had already come out of his hands.

However, Nakahara Chuya was faster than him. When Kunikida Duppo threw the snowball, he had already locked the opponent's position, and threw three snowballs in a row, directly blocking the opponent's movement.The next second Yosano Akiko also threw a snowball, the ball hit China Kida's head again.

"Kunikida, you're too sweet!" Yosano Akiko, who scored another point, laughed wildly.

"Even with Dr. Yosano..." Kunikida Doppo originally wanted to say something to cheer him up, but because the other party was Yosano Akiko, the one who would hurt your injury again Yosano Akiko who became more serious to treat you, this cruel word can't be let out immediately.

When he hesitated, Zhong Yuanzhong over there immediately hit his arm with a ball.

"Kunikida, be careful!" Osamu Dazai said suddenly, and then Yukichi Maomao saw him push out a... Uh, it was made by hand in a mess, probably a snowball thrower for a trebuchet.

As Osamu Dazai said, he put the snowball that Kunikida Doppo had left for him, and then tried to activate the snowball throwing machine.

Well, the result was of course unsuccessful. After all, not everyone has the skill of Yukichi big cat. The snowball throwing machine made by Osamu Dazai is really a show, and it can't even swing.

And after hearing what Dazai said, Kunikida Doppo who really thought he had some secret weapon was still wondering why Dazai's attack hadn't come yet, and Nakahara Chuya and Yosano who found out that Dazai had lost the chain Akiko's snowball hit the tree where Kunikida Doppo was hiding like rain, directly smashed all the snow on the tree, and buried him in the snowdrift.

After finishing one, the two soldiers split into two groups and went straight to Dazaiji's main formation. As a result, within 10 minutes, Dazaiji was also submerged by snowballs.

"The victory has been decided, and Chuya and Yosano's team won." Edogawa Ranpo put down the snow rabbit that Yukichi Maomao had just pinched for him to play with, and said loudly.

"Dazai!" Kunikida rushed to chase and kill his teammate in frustration, "What the hell are you doing!"

"Oh, I didn't expect that what I made would not work." Dazai Osamu ran fast while laughing, "I didn't do it on purpose. Kunikida, please forgive me!"

"Stop!" Kunikida Doppo chased after him wildly.

On the other side, Chuya Nakahara and Akiko Yosano happily clapped their palms together, proudly walking towards Yukichi the big cat together.

Nakahara Chuya had seen Yukichi Maomao pushing snowballs before, and now seeing the nondescript snowball stool under Fukuzawa Yukichi, he simply made a big move, and a large piece of red-glowing white snow was covered by him. Grab it, "Mr. Yuji, do you want more snow?"

The Yuji big cat nodded vigorously, and it also piled Baixue aside as a signal, so that it can be used by itself later.

Ranpo Edogawa saw that Kunikida Doppo was still chasing and killing Osamu Dazai, so he told the two of them to come back quickly so that Yukichi Tomomi could draw candidates for the second round of the Yuki battle.

The two groups drawn this time are Akiko Yosano and Doppo Kunikida VS Ranpo Edogawa and Osamu Dazai, and Chuya Nakahara has a bye.

The faces of the two people in the brain group turned blue. The strength of the two of them was far inferior to that of the opponent, not to mention that Ranpo Edogawa was a person who couldn't even beat 05 geese. The vengeful Kunikida Doppo, both of them wanted to make Yukichi the cat smoke again.

But Oda Sakunosuke encouraged Dazai very seriously, "Dazai, come on!"

"Cough, Ranpo, I believe you can do it." Seeing this lineup, Fukuzawa Yukichi knew that the two of them were absolutely useless, but he still subconsciously said something.

Now Ranpo Edogawa and Osamu Dazai are on fire.

Zhong Yuanzhong on the side didn't notice them at all. He was pressing the cotton-like snowflakes under the command of Yuji Damao. During the preparation time before the start of the second battle, he had pressed a conference table. Come out, and then press three chairs out under the command of Yukichi Big Cat.

Although it was just a simple chair, it helped the referees get rid of the embarrassment of standing and watching the snowball fight, and he himself simply sat on the snow pier that Fukuzawa Yukichi was originally sitting on.

The second battle was exactly as predicted by everyone. The two people with top intelligence had no tacit understanding at all during the snowball fight. The two snowballs couldn't even throw a long distance, and the two of them were rushed over. The two of them stuck in the formation and threw a bunch of snowballs wildly.

After all, Edogawa Ranpo is Butei's group favorite, and after pretending to lose two, no one cares about him.As for Osamu Dazai, he was buried directly by Kunikida Doppo with a snowball.

This scene was so tragic that it didn't even take 10 minutes of the whole process. In just 3 minutes, Oda Sakunosuke announced the end of the battle, and it was the victory of Kunikida and Yosano.

Afterwards they came a few more times, because the lottery was in the hands of Yukichi Tomomi, all kinds of strange combinations appeared, such as Edogawa Ranpo and Nakahara Chuya VS with Yosano Akiko and Dazai Osamu, Jiang Ranpo Togawa and Doppo Kunikida VS Osamu Dazai and Chuya Nakahara, after all the permutations and combinations, a group of people finally got tired of playing.

They sat in the snow, looking at each other covered in snowflakes, they couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Ah, no, I'm almost exhausted." Akiko Yosano, who had the most fun, smiled and panted, "Let's take the cable car down later, aren't we going to a hot spring hotel in the afternoon?"

When they were laughing, the big cat Yuji who was carving patterns on the three snow chairs suddenly pricked up his ears, turned around and looked at this side with shining eyes.

Hot spring hotel!

Chase shop!

Pillow fight!

Fukuzawa Yukichi saw that the three bare chairs had changed from three bare chairs to a snowy chair with a carved back in just a short while. He didn't know what to say for a while, and nodded under the aggressive eyes of the big cat. Said: "That's right, it's almost time for us to go back to the hotel, and we can check out after lunch."

"Oh!" Edogawa Ranpo also showed a full childlike heart. He shook hands and shouted happily, "Let's go to the hot spring!"

"Let's go..." Oda Sakunosuke stepped forward and pulled Osamu Dazai, who was almost dead from exhaustion, "Speaking of which, Dazai, have you not exercised for a long time, do you feel that your muscles are a little less?"

"There is no such thing!" Osamu Dazai shook his head resolutely, he didn't want to be caught going to the gym!

"President carry me!" Edogawa Ranpo jumped on Fukuzawa Yukichi's back with a cat pounce, and it just hung on him and couldn't get off.

Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't mind, so he just walked all the way to the cable car station with a brat on his back.

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked around and found that there was nothing to do by himself, so he simply pulled the big cat Yuji, "Let's go, Mr. Yuji, let's go down too."

He looked around, and suddenly came up with an idea, "Mr. Yuji, do you want to slide down with me?"

Big Cat Yuji was a little curious, but he didn't know what he was going to do.

Nakahara Chuya originally planned to go skiing up the mountain, and his ski equipment is still stored at the cable car station.

Seeing Chuya walking over quickly to take out his ski equipment and put it on, Kunikida Doppo was a little strange, "Chuya, are you going to ski down?"

"That's right, that's right, Kunikida." Nakaya looked at Kunikida Doppo who planned to do the same as himself, "Lend your equipment to Mr. Yukichi, and I will take him down the slide."

"Okay..." Kunikida Doppo wasn't worried about something wrong with Yukichi the big cat, because Nakahara Chuya's superpower was there.

Helping the big cat Yukichi put on the skis, Doppo Kunikida looked at the big cat Yukichi standing there very uncomfortably. In the ski boots, it feels so easy to slide the foot out.

"Leave it to me." Zhong also smiled and lightly touched the big cat Yukichi's shoulder, and the big cat immediately found that his figure had stabilized.

Then Yuji Maomao was slowly moved to the side of the snow mountain slide by Nakahara Chuya.

"Mr. Yukichi, get ready, we are going down." Before departure, Chuya said to Yukichi again.

Yukichi Maomao nodded vigorously, Chuya laughed and shouted: "GO!"

In the next second, the two of them slid down from the top of the mountain. To be precise, only Zhongyuan Zhongya was skiing. The big cat Yuji behind him was led by his supernatural power to make the same sliding trajectory as him.

When sliding down from the top of the snow mountain, one person and one cat both wore goggles, but even so, the bitter cold wind was still blowing towards their faces.

But more of it was an unprecedented sense of excitement. This kind of excitement and joy that seemed to hit the cat's heart made Yukichi the big cat couldn't help but cheered along with Chuya.

"Ah, so cunning!" Edogawa Ranpo, who was sitting on the cable car, couldn't help saying when he saw their sliding below.

"After all, this is something that only Chuya can do." Fukuzawa Yukichi watched a person and a cat slide down rapidly. The big cat even let out a human-like scream, but only happiness could be heard in the cry He couldn't help but relax, "It's rare to have this opportunity. It seems that we should really take Yukichi out for a walk in the future."

When a group of people got off the cable car, Nakahara Chuya and Yukichi the big cat were already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain. The frameless cable car they were riding was already moving slowly, and the mountain was not very high. It is also inevitable.

Yosano Akiko stepped forward first, and smiled and joked with Yukichi the big cat, "How, isn't the feeling of sliding down from the top of the mountain super exciting?"

Yukichi the big cat nodded vigorously, his eyes were still shining when he looked at Chuya, and it was written in big letters that he wanted to play again.

Nakahara Chuya immediately cast his eyes for help to Fukuzawa Yukichi over there.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the time, "It's okay, it's still early, and I can go skating a few more times."

"I'm going too!" Osamu Dazai ran towards the hotel's service desk after finishing speaking. Yesterday he also wanted to try the slide down the snowy mountain, but was stopped by Oda Sakunosuke, so it should be fine today!

Seeing that they all planned to take advantage of the last time to play skiing, Kunikida Doppo was also a little moved. Fukuzawa Yukichi stepped forward decisively and asked Yukichi to return Kunikida's ski equipment to him, and then borrowed his own ski equipment. Gave it to Yuji Big Cat.

After helping Yukichi Maomao put on the equipment, Fukuzawa Yukichi reached out and patted the snowflakes on Yukichi the big cat, turned his head and said to Zhongya Nakahara: "Go, have fun."

"Mr. Yukichi, let's go!" Chuya Nakahara was still a young man of 19, and he was naturally a little childish at this time. He pulled the big cat and ran to the top of the mountain again.

In the end, I played the mountain top ski track two or three times, and this group of people enjoyed themselves. Osamu Dazai also tried the power of an advanced ski track with the help of Oda Sakunosuke, and then he didn't play anymore. After all, he is still a Novices, others skiing this is skiing, others skiing this is making humanoid snowballs.

It’s fine if you turn into a human snowball by yourself or playing with Yukichi Tonko and Oda, and there’s a dwarf who turns into a snowball while taking the cat downhill, that slug will definitely laugh at yourself until the end of time .

Osamu Dazai didn't want to be ridiculed by Chuya Nakahara, so he would rather go down and play the intermediate slides honestly than do such exciting things.

After lunch, a group of people checked out from the hotel, and everyone went out from the hotel entrance, just passing by two teenagers who were looking for a famous detective.

Not only the two teenagers who were restrained by school activities and couldn't run around, even the parents of the teenagers searched all morning, but couldn't find a group of people hiding in the remote woods and playing snowball fights. This group of reasoning madmen seemed a little depressed.

"It seems that we will never meet again." Yusaku Kudo reached out and patted his son's shoulder helplessly, "I searched the ski resort all morning, but I didn't see anyone making snow sculptures or doing something strange nearby. matter."

"I missed Mr. Ranpo just like that." Kudo Shinichi clenched his fists unwillingly, "I still want to ask him how he found out the truth of the case four years ago."

The young detective who just went to the United States a few months ago and solved the first case in his life on the plane to the United States showed a very regretful look on his face.

On the other end, Hattori Heiji, who had the same experience as him, also sighed unwillingly, "What a pity, if only I could stop Mr. Ranpo yesterday and ask him for an autograph."

"Pingji, you have been talking about Mr. Ranpo since yesterday. I remember that he is not a member of the Yokohama Armed Detective Agency? If you really want his autograph that much, why don't you just go to Yokohama?" Yuan Shan He Ye kindly helped him with his ideas.

"Idiot, what does it matter if I go to Yokohama." Hattori Heiji put his hand on his cheek, "Even if Ranpo-san is my idol now, I will definitely become a great detective in the future!"
