Healing Vest Essence

Stuffed in the quilt, the air is not very good, and after crying for a while, the body can't exert its strength at all.

The black-haired youth was quickly defeated in this contest.

The black cat simply lay flat, letting the big silver wolf see its current embarrassment directly—this is really embarrassing.

【Edogawa Ranpo】Holding his hand over his eyes, he thought deceptively, he didn't see anything.

He sniffed, and the tears flowed faster.

Who knew that Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't care about this.

Like an extremely silver wolf hugging a black cat with its warm snout, licking its cub's fur, trying to pass some warmth to the crying cub, after vigorously lifting the quilt, Your Excellency the Swordsman, He hugged 【Edogawa Ranpo】by the shoulders, gently helped him to sit up.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's broad palm caressed the back of [Edogawa Ranpo]'s furry head, in a way that would neither be too hard to hurt him, nor too weak to reflect the value of the visitor. Strength, hold [Edogawa Ranpo] in his arms, let his head close to his chest.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's body did not use his muscles as usual, but relaxed, so that the black-haired young man would not collapse. [Edogawa Ranpo]'s face touched the softness of his chest, and he felt the tenderness from the opponent's body. Came warm.

Fukuzawa Yukichi placed the palm of his head on the back of his head, gently and jerkyly rubbing the black hair that looked a little messy because it got under the quilt.

The Silver Wolf Swordsman, who has always been down-to-earth and prefers to prove his heart with actions rather than words, is rarely moved. He wants to comfort the dark-haired young man who is weeping in front of him, but he doesn't know how to express his feelings accurately. .

So, he said dullly and with difficulty: "...don't cry."

The voice of the silver-haired man rang in [Edogawa Ranpo]'s ears, bringing an unspeakable sense of security.If there is no one to comfort, [Edogawa Ranpo] may be strong again after weeping alone for a while, regaining the scarred heart, and marching wearily into the distance.

However, once someone speaks softly and gives you thoughtfulness and care when you are sensitive and depressed, tears will flow out like a floodgate, and it is difficult to restrain yourself from stopping.

The black-haired young man cried even more fiercely, and Fukuzawa Yukichi felt quite uncomfortable with his out of breath crying.

His emerald green pupils could not help showing a little distress.

After the detective and the swordsman became regular partners and gradually became a family-like existence, Edogawa Ranpo no longer showed such sadness.

The only time I saw a proud famous detective disregarding his face, crying with tears and snot all over his face, was that many years ago he was angry at Edogawa's random steps and tried his best, went alone to meet the criminal suspect, and beat him severely. The time the other party slapped.

Since that time, the lonely genius has vented his confusion and the hurt he suffered from the hostility and incomprehension of the world one by one. Fukuzawa Yukichi also secretly determined not to let Edogawa go through similar situations again matter.

Edogawa Ranpo should be a proud, self-willed and dazzling person. Who would want him to fall from a height, fall to pieces, and be forced to lie prone on the dirt?

However, [Edogawa Ranpo] from another time and space was not as lucky as their Ranpo.

It's too cruel, how much pain should he have.

"Why are you crying, Ranpo?" Fukuzawa Yukichi lowered his voice and let go of 【Edogawa Ranpo】.

[Edogawa Ranpo] subconsciously pursued that point of warmth, huddled close to Fukuzawa Yukichi, and stopped stiffly in place after realizing his movements.

Through his misty vision, he saw that in the light, the silver-haired man lowered his head, raised his hand to caress his cheek, and gently wiped away the falling tears. Rubbing her fingers gently and silently.

"I don't know, President..." [Edogawa Ranpo] said with a hoarse voice, choked with sobs, "I, I may not be Edogawa Ranpo, or I may be Edogawa Ranpo, I lied You... who the hell am I?"

Although the black-haired young man's words were a bit confusing and incoherent, Fukuzawa Yukichi was not upset by this. He watched [Edogawa Ranpo] and listened quietly.

Fukuzawa Yukichi pursed his lips and said, "Then, will the deception you mentioned hurt others? Are you doing it on purpose?"

The black-haired young man shook his head: "But... everything is false, including, including me now."

"Even I don't know who I am, the love I got based on lies..." How it made him tremble and feel ashamed.

【Edogawa Ranpo】I'm afraid that after everyone knows that he is an out-and-out liar, he will lose everything he has now.

If you refuse at the beginning, you will not be afraid of losing if you have never received this kind of warmth.

But, how despicable he is, longing for warmth and care.

"Ranpo," Fukuzawa Yukichi interrupted [Edogawa Ranpo]'s inner self-torture, calling out a name that seemed real or fake.

The silver-haired man is not good at words, those provocative words seem to burn his mouth, he rarely uttered them in the past.

However, on the opposite side is [Edogawa Ranpo]—the verification between soul and soul will not deceive people—then, learn some words of comfort and explain some principles, Fukuzawa Yukichi can do it, even if To put it bluntly, it sounds dry: "Just like no one can know it by birth, every person in the world will have secrets that others don't know."

The black-haired young man's eyelids trembled a few times, and finally he raised his head. The green eyes washed by tears were dazed, and they were extraordinarily pure and clean.

"Not every secret, the privacy that you want to keep silent, must be known to all the people close to you, so you can't walk around," Fukuzawa Yuji paused. The experience gained by the older man over the years made his eyes deep and clear. Bright, "I also have a past that I don't want others to know."

"Our love for you is definitely not because we know everything about you, but because you are worthy."

The silver wolf swordsman, who was so imposing on weekdays and almost engraved the words "I'm not easy to mess with" on his face, softened his face at this moment: "It doesn't matter who you are, why don't you look behind you? What did you do, and who did you save?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi originally meant [Edogawa Ranpo] In recent days, after the case was solved and justice was done, the family members of the deceased who were appeased and no longer grieved in their hearts.

However, when Yazawa Haruto heard it, he thought of another group of people.

After all, this comprehensive world is the second week world he opened.

Yazawa Haruto decided to go out, use his eyes to discover and stare.

Under normal circumstances, full-fledged members of the Space-Time Administration can freely choose to view the postmortem of the world after completing the mission and returning.

It’s just that Yazawa Haruto was afraid to see that those people who had given their emotions to themselves would be sad because of the “death” of the vest. In order to avoid this scene, he chose to ignore the little red dot.

This time, he has to be brave and look for the answers to the questions in his heart, or the "good medicine" that can soothe the depression at the moment.

Yazawa Haruto can see that it is the golden age of creation. As one of the dazzling stars in the literary world, Oda Sakunosuke will often die due to lack of inspiration and material, or fight wits and courage with editors, and work hard for Procrastination buys time.

After the resurrection, Oda Sakunosuke, although he had lost five children, he would not stop his steps to become a good person because of this, but he had not seen him for a few months, and he adopted another child.

It was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy he rescued in a black-hearted factory incident where he illegally hired and exploited child labor. Now, besides balding every day to catch up on manuscripts, Oda Sakunosuke has to call Yokohama Middle School to ask questions. Inquire about the child's academic status.

The old father was deeply worried about his scumbag child: first set a small goal and let the child be admitted to Dongda University.

As for a childish ghost who clings to him all day long and engages in body art such as suicide from time to time, who is talking on the phone to Ango Sakaguchi who doesn't know how long he has been working overtime, the red-haired young man doesn't even look up when he hears that he is going to make a fuss , Skillfully opened the drawer and threw a canned crab meat over, and continued to work hard to finish the manuscript.

Oda Sakunosuke, who was dizzy from suffering, muttered to himself: "Some pigeons can't be kept... Every feather of it shines with the light of freedom."[1]

【Edogawa Ranpo】: "..."

[Edogawa Ranpo] He also ran to take a look at the temporary guardian who was dumped by him when he was done using it.

In his spare time, he wears a peaked cap and pretends to be low-key. Of course, sometimes he disguises too much and also has the shadow line of a suspicious villain. There are often tacit and silent meetings between the other four best friends who have been quietly resurrected.

Jiang Gu Ling and Zhu Fu Jingguang, one played the guitar and the other played the bass, and sang the melodious tune "Gulu".

The five of them went to the remote ramen restaurant on the street not far from the police academy, sipping ramen and drinking beer.

Even if there is no words or intimacy between each other, as long as they are still alive, they can overcome the dark hour before dawn.

Yazawa Haruto's rescue has changed a lot, adding color and warmth to the world.

He understood that all this was not in vain.

The folds in the heart were gently smoothed out, and greenery sprouted in the mud.

After waiting quietly for a few days, the Butei people watching [Edogawa Ranpo] finally saw Mr. Ranpo who returned to normal, and he was relieved.

Ranpo Edogawa, who was quarreling with his previous self-abasement and self-deprecating attitude, beeped a few times loudly with the black-haired young man, "Idiot!", "I will protect you from now on, you idiot!" After the words, there is no more awkwardness.

During the period when the Armed Detective Agency was in Tokyo, they quickly finished the follow-up.

According to the events in the parallel world learned by Edogawa Rampo's reasoning, they dug desperately in one direction, and they really found the secret contacts and attempts between Fyodor Dostoyevsky and the Black Organization. traces of cooperation.

Under the guidance of the two "Edogawa Ranpo", Tanaka Hanabou carefully avoided the multiple traps set by Fyodor, and used hacking techniques to find the current specific location of the other party.

They quietly recorded several of Fyodor's dens, especially in Yokohama.

If everything goes well, within two months, the huge black organization will be completely destroyed, and Feordo will also be taken by the Supernatural Secret Service to the supernatural prison for public meals and squats.

At the same time, several major organizations involved in this major incident have also decided on the distribution of benefits in the future, including the three major organizations with different abilities in Yokohama.

After the Black Organization is destroyed, the reputation of the Armed Detective Agency will reach its peak, and PortMafia, the Supernatural Secret Service Division, and the Japanese Police Public Security will take the opportunity to take over some research bases, scientific researchers, and trading sites organized in Japan. Each has something to gain, and each has something to gain.

As for foreign countries, it has nothing to do with them. No one can stretch their hands that long.

After dealing with the follow-up incidents, the Butei people also embarked on a journey back to Yokohama.

After returning to Yokohama, the two "Edogawa Ranpo" went crazy.

Today they sweep up the Western-style dim sum on East Street, tomorrow they go to the amusement park to play bumper cars, and the day after tomorrow they fight for food conquest in Chinatown.

In fact, just eating and drinking is nothing, but in the process, they will always cause a lot of troubles, such as rampaging all the way when playing with bumper cars. It became the live version of "Fast and Furious".

When Fukuzawa Yukichi rushed over to lead the people, he couldn't believe his eyes.

The power of "Edogawa Ranpo" x 2 is simply too great.

However, no one stopped the madness of "Edogawa Ranpo".

Because—[Edogawa Ranpo] is dying.

Anyone can see that the vitality of the black-haired youth is constantly losing, and after the definite news of the destruction of the black organization came, it accelerated the burning of his vitality.

This is [Edogawa Ranpo]'s only mission and wish. After fulfilling it, he has no reason to stay in this world.

【Edogawa Ranpo】I got a lung disease and it is beyond cure.

Not only was it the reason for the fall into the sea, he also encountered many crises after becoming a policeman.One of them, a person with supernatural powers who could devour the vitality of living things and instantly turn people into bones cast a supernatural power on him. Although it was only for a short moment, the vitality of [Edogawa Ranpo] eventually declined at an accelerated rate. , not to mention his behavior of over-squeezing himself and ignoring the disease.

Akiko Yosano's supernatural ability can't heal [Edogawa Ranpo] whose vitality is withered.

The port Mafia also got the news that the lung disease caught the attention of the leader Mori Ogai. He remembered that Akutagawa Ryunosuke also had the lung disease that he had acquired since he was a child, and ordinary medical methods could not cure it.

This is the lesson from the past. After thinking for a while, Ogai Mori decided to ask Ryunosuke Akutagawa to seriously treat this neglected disease.Even if there is only a slight risk of falling, in view of the current importance of Akutagawa Ryunosuke in the chess game, Mori Ogai must do his best to ensure that he can survive.

This brings us to the research projects of the Black Organization. One of the drug research projects, which is similar to APTX-4869, was given a new lease of life after adding supernatural beings.

Even if Ryunosuke Akutagawa's lung disease was not cured under the treatment of the new drug, it was greatly controlled.

Unfortunately, 【Edogawa Ranpo】has become terminally ill, and the medicine sent by Mafia at the port does not work at all.

Everyone in the Armed Detective Agency has witnessed [Edogawa Ranpo] getting weaker day by day.

The face of the black-haired young man became paler and turned into a color similar to that of a pure white quilt. There was no trace of blood, and even the color of his lips was very pale. Sometimes when he coughed, his lips even glowed a little. Purple.

However, in contrast to the paleness of his overall appearance, it was those blue eyes, the flames were leaping, and the little vitality left gathered in them, as bright as before.

On the last day, the little prince leaned against the chest of his beloved knight commander, and his loyal knights were beside him, surrounding him.

So the black-haired prince left with a sweet smile.

"Host." When the soul left, the vest spirit system that had been silent for a long time appeared. Its words were full of complex emotions. Yazawa Haruto didn't even know how a system formed by a string of codes and data possessed such emotions. .

"System, they will gradually forget about me, and they won't be sad any more." Yazawa Haruto said inexplicably firmly.

The vest system didn't know how to comfort him, and felt that he had guessed something, so he could only sigh: "...Host, let's go."

If this is your wish, the world will make it happen for you.

The departure of the little prince did not disturb Shi Shi in the slightest.

The lives of everyone in the Armed Detective Agency will continue.

They've met death and passed it often, but they never imagined that they would witness the death of someone they loved in this way.

At the beginning, everyone in the Armed Detective Agency will indulge themselves not to think about or recall [Edogawa Ranpo] because of the new crisis, using the excuse of being busy with the crisis life.

He stubbornly believed that, in this way, he could still exist vividly in their memories.

However, no matter how intelligent a person is, unless he has a photographic memory, his memory will still be blurred.

Especially when there is Edogawa Ranpo beside them.

When members of the Armed Detective Agency inadvertently mentioned [Edogawa Ranpo] one day, they realized that their memories of [Edogawa Ranpo] had blurred a lot due to the erosion of time or other reasons. .

They've obviously been together for a few months.

How long has passed, and they can no longer remember the specific posture of the young man walking.

Is he bouncing up and down from time to time like Mr. Ranpo, lively and childish, or is he imitating the president and holding his hands behind his back, mature and stable?

They couldn't remember the specific content of the conversation between each other and [Edogawa Ranpo], and what tone and voice the black-haired youth used to call them.

Everyone in Butei only remembered that [Edogawa Ranpo] always had a contented and melancholy smile on his face when he called their names, just like a sentimental little prince.

It was only at the end that they discovered to their horror—maybe even that smiling face slowly began to disappear from their minds.

"It's not fair." Yosano Akiko murmured.

However, what can be done.

How to preserve the time for the dead to "disappear"?

The memory of [Edogawa Ranpo] has been forgotten a little too quickly, but it is very in line with reality.

Because, their Edogawa Ranpo is here.

The impression of Edogawa Ranpo will gradually fade the impression of [Edogawa Ranpo], after all, they are the same person in a sense.

When they think of [Edogawa Ranpo], the image of Edogawa Ranpo will come to mind, so vivid and bright, although it will be suppressed soon, showing the appearance of another person, but in the long run, Gradually, the impact will increase.

The person who died will always be on the other side of the mirror.

That is the other shore, a realm that the living cannot touch.Although after discovering it, I tried my best to keep it, but the memory will gradually fade and become gray no matter how I chew and recall it over and over again.

The living can never compete with the dead, but in a sense, the eternal memory is always on the side of the living.

Forgetting is inevitable.

Osamu Dazai, who also began to forget, quietly slowed down for a moment when humming "Song of Die Love", but no one noticed.

That's too cunning...Mr. Ranpo.
