what's wrong with my vest

"Ah..." Osamu Dazai froze.

Atsushi Nakajima remembered that Edogawa Ranpo didn't like to remember the way, and Mr. Ranpo, who hated common sense, couldn't even ride the tram, let alone remember the way.

So, they've been walking around just now? !Lost with a face full of confidence and everything under control?

The sense of powerlessness dilutes the hesitation in Atsushi Nakajima's heart. The corner of his mouth twitched twice, and he stepped forward quickly: "Mr. Ranpo... where are you going? Let me lead you the way!"

Dazai Osamu, who was left at the end, suppressed his smile in an instant, looking at Sakurai's back, wondering what he was thinking.

……

The shop recommended by Edogawa Rampo is not far away. If you don't get lost, it should be only about 10 minutes away.

Edogawa Ranpo is obviously a regular customer of various dessert shops, and when the waiter first arrived, he took the order skillfully: "Boss, first order four red bean mochi."

Atsushi Nakajima was still thinking about the meaning of Osamu Dazai's words before, but at this time he woke up suddenly after hearing Edogawa Ranpo's words, and said gratefully: "Mr. Ranpo, please."

"What are you talking about?" Edogawa Ranpo was a little puzzled, "I ordered this for myself, you can order whatever you want."

"Ah... good." Atsushi Nakajima, who came back from the crowd, was not angry, and took the menu casually.

He is not angry. Apart from his gentle personality, his understanding of Ranbu and knowing that the other party has no malicious intentions also account for a large part of the reason.

Also, how could Mr. Ranpo order food for others?

Having said that, wouldn't four servings be too much?Can Mr. Ranpo finish eating by himself?

Or did he also bring this mysterious Mr. Ranpo?

Atsushi Nakajima thought so, and asked the same question.

Edogawa Ranpo didn't seem to understand why Atsushi Nakajima would ask such a low-level question, and replied with a frown: "Of course it's mine alone. There are only four of them. Of course we can eat it up!"

Four red bean mochi are not a lot, and mochi are sticky things that take up a lot of stomach, and Mr. Ranpo has been eating snacks when he obviously goes out.

Atsushi Nakajima looked at the other party with confidence, suppressed his curiosity, and looked at the menu.

The menu went around, and everyone quickly finished their orders. Atsushi Nakajima ordered a cheesecake that looked good, and Osamu Dazai ordered a cup of coffee.

Sakurai thought about it and ordered a red bean mochi - since Edogawa Ranpo himself ordered four, then this should be his favorite taste, and the taste of the vest will also affect Sakurai himself.

For example, some vests like to eat coriander and others don't like it - he summed it up from his past hosts.Therefore, if you order Edogawa Ranpo, you will not overturn the car if you ordered it.

How should I put it in the end, as expected of an official mission, Sakurai almost overturned in the "never overturn" project.

As soon as Sakurai took a bite, he fell silent.

While he was meditating, Atsushi Nakajima seemed to have discovered something.

"Eh?" Nakajima Atsushi looked at Edogawa Ranpo with some doubts, "Why doesn't Mr. Ranpo eat mochi?"

Edogawa Ranpo was still chewing on red beans, and he hesitated to explain: "Because mochi has no taste."

...Isn't it okay to just order red beans?Why order red bean mochi?

Growing up in an orphanage, he once deeply experienced the feeling of hunger, looking at the mochi skin that had been eaten up and put aside, his heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe.

In the next second, Atsushi Nakajima, who naturally thought of another "Edogawa Ranpo", turned his head, but found that the other party hadn't even finished eating one, and kept poking it with the matching small fork after taking a bite. With mochi.

At first Atsushi Nakajima thought that the other party was the same as Mr. Ranpo on his side. After eating the red beans with the inner core, he didn't want to eat any more, but after observing for a few seconds, Atsushi Nakajima found that the other party actually I didn't even eat red beans.

"Well... Excuse me, is it not to your liking? Do you want to order something else?" Atsushi Nakajima asked worriedly.

After speaking, it was easy to talk about the follow-up topic. In the end, Atsushi Nakajima upheld the principle that good things should be shared together, and pushed the cake in front of him to the other party: "This cheesecake is also delicious. Do you want to have a taste?"

Sakurai shook his head slowly.

After eating dessert, the last piece of the puzzle was also completed. Sakurai has completely determined what the "contractor" in the name of the vest refers to.

It turned out to be the one he least wanted to meet, too bad.

Although things are going in the worst direction, there is no doubt about Sakurai's professional quality. In just a short moment, he has completed a relatively complete background setting based on the existing information, and has done a good job. other corresponding preparations.

From Nakajima Atsushi's perspective, he saw "Edogawa Ranpo" squinting his eyes and shaking his head. After a few seconds of silence, he said absent-mindedly, "It's okay, I just don't have a good appetite today, so don't worry about it."

Seeing this, Atsushi Nakajima withdrew his hand a little shyly, and wanted to speak again, but was startled by a "pop", and couldn't remember what he originally wanted to say for a while.

He followed the sound and turned his head. The words just now angered Edogawa Ranpo for some reason, and the "snap" was the sound of him throwing the fork on the table.

"Why do you lie like those grown-ups?" Edogawa Ranpo was a little annoyed, "Didn't you say that you figured it out just now? Didn't you not figured it out at all!"

Edogawa Ranpo's sharp accusations followed one after another, and the tone continued to increase. The surrounding diners couldn't help turning their curious eyes to the center of the incident.

The expression on Sakurai's face disappeared little by little, and eventually he became expressionless, accepting Edogawa Ranpo's questioning without any waves in his heart-this is also a true portrayal of his heart, facing Edogawa who is gradually out of control Luanbu, he really didn't feel it at all.

Sakurai's attitude further angered Ranpo Edogawa, he slapped the table and stood up straight away: "If you want to be recognized, you must first show yourself!"

"You can't taste it, why don't you just say it if you don't want to eat!?"

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry, this is actually from yesterday, I was sleepy yesterday and I didn't post much, so I just said that you didn't cry when you woke up this morning (?)

It's probably gone today, I'll see if I can get more tomorrow
