what's wrong with my vest

Chapter 29 Chapter 29

After Edogawa Ranpo pulled Sakurai into the reception room, he let go of his hand. Sakurai blinked and sat down on the small sofa beside him.

Seeing this, Ranpo Edogawa wrinkled his entire face exaggeratedly, and instead of choosing to sit opposite Sakurai Hajime, he came to the desk next to the sofa, and threw himself on the swivel chair in a fit of anger.

The rollers of the swivel chair moved backwards for a while under the action of inertia, and stopped slowly after the force was completely absorbed by the carpet.

Edogawa Ranpo, who was slumped on the chair, looked at Sakurai's side face in a daze... Is the president also in this state of mind when facing his former self?

It's hard to imagine that one day the word "love to worry" will be associated with Edogawa Ranpo, but in fact, Edogawa Ranpo is really like treating his own brother, and he was broken for Sakurai Heart.

It is very easy for Edogawa Ranpo to empathize with the other person's current situation... The current "Edogawa Ranpo" reminds him of the time when his parents just passed away and he came to Yokohama from the countryside alone, lonely and helpless.

At that time, Edogawa Ranpo still felt that he was a completely ordinary person-after all, his parents had always told him so.

For this reason, when he first came into contact with the outside world, the conflict between cognition and reality has caused Edogawa Ranpo to fall into chaos for a while.

——Life has undergone unimaginable great changes, and the cognition of self has created obstacles, and there is no sense of belonging in the world... The current "Edogawa Ranpo" is in this state.

Edogawa Ranpo, who was in this state at the time, met Fukuzawa Yukichi, but now "Edogawa Ranpo" has only himself in front of him.

Recalling the first experience of getting along with the president, but found that there seemed to be no reference for Edogawa Ranpo. It took a long time before he choked out a dry sentence: "No one will like you if you look like you."

"But this is the real me." Sakurai Kaoru replied without even thinking.

"It's not!" Edogawa Ranpo raised his voice, "What are you doing so awkward!"

"I didn't get awkward." Sakurai Kaoru paused, and then continued, "I just don't know how to get along well with those people who clearly promised to be together forever but suddenly disappeared."

"You still said you didn't have any trouble?!"

When Sakurai Makoto and Edogawa Ranpo elementary school students were arguing, the doorknob was suddenly turned, and a figure came in gently from behind the door.

……

Fukuzawa Yukichi returned to the detective agency in about 5 minutes after Edogawa Ranpo dragged Sakurai Hato into the small black room.

As soon as he came back, he saw a group of people gathered around the door of the reception room, putting their ears to it, their expressions serious and focused, and they didn't even realize that they had come back.

Fukuzawa Yukichi raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.On the contrary, Kunikida Doppo, who just went out with him to run errands behind him, was dissatisfied with the leisurely attitude of the detective agency members. He rubbed his temples that were aching due to the soaring blood pressure, and cleared his throat loudly.

Kunikida Doppo thought that the group of people fishing during working hours would be startled by him, but he didn't expect that this group of people didn't even look at him, and continued to stick their ears to the door panel, but kept waving to him to signal him to be quiet.

This unexpected development made Kunikida Doppo a little confused. He stepped forward and wanted to catch Osamu Dazai and ask what happened, but seeing that the other party seemed to be really thinking about some big event, his outstretched hand paused On the way, he turned to Atsushi Nakajima next to Osamu Dazai.

"What's going on?" Kunikida Doppo pulled Atsushi Nakajima back to Fukuzawa Yukichi, and asked in a low voice, "What happened in the reception room? And didn't you go out with Mr. Ranpo this morning? Mr. Ranpo where?"

Atsushi Nakajima recalled what happened today, and narrated it to the two of them bit by bit. During the whole process, Atsushi Nakajima did not mix any personal ideas in it, and he only hesitated to speak at the end. Tell the two of you and Dazai Osamu's speculation.

After learning that members of another world detective agency may have suffered misfortune, and that Ranpo sounded a little ptsd (post-traumatic stress disorder), Fukuzawa Yukichi lowered his head and did not speak for a while.

The conjecture described by Atsushi Nakajima just now is not impossible, rather, the inference in it can be said to be logically flawless, but Fukuzawa Yukichi can't...or he doesn't want to believe that the cheerful and lively person is even a little arrogant. The random steps will one day turn into the indifferent and chaotic appearance described by Atsushi Nakajima.

He wanted to see that Luanbu with his own eyes.

Now, immediately!

After thinking it over, Fukuzawa Yukichi walked to the door of the reception room with quick but firm steps.

After seeing Fukuzawa Yukichi coming over, everyone who knew that the president and Edogawa Ranpo had the deepest bond and the closest relationship stepped aside to make room for Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Fukuzawa Yukichi originally wanted to just push the door and enter, but after raising Edogawa Ranpo for so many years, he can be regarded as raising half a child. The hand that opened the door paused for a moment, then relaxed.

The former lone swordsman "Silver Wolf" used the footwork used in assassination before, subconsciously reducing all the sounds generated during his actions, and it could almost be said that he walked in the door cautiously.

The goal was two random steps, and a thinner figure was facing away from him.And the one who was facing the door sideways and who could see him coming in from the corner of his eye was Ranpo Fukuzawa Yukichi was more familiar with.

At this time, Ranbu on their side was frowning, as if there was something he couldn't figure out, and he didn't even give him a look after he entered the door, and the one with his back to Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't even look at him at all. Fukuzawa Yukichi was a little overwhelmed by the realization of his own existence.

Like most old fathers who face silent children, he is not good at enlightening, and he can't even find an entry point in today's deadly atmosphere.

It would be much better if the other party directly raised the question and asked Fukuzawa Yukichi to provide a solution...

Thinking of this, Fukuzawa Yukichi stepped a little harder, hoping that Ranpo, who had his back turned to him, would also discover his existence... It would be great if he could take the opportunity to start a conversation.

The thin carpet on the ground actually absorbed a lot of sound, but under the circumstances that Fukuzawa Yukichi deliberately did it, although the footsteps were not heavy, they were still clearly audible in the silent room.

But surprisingly, the sound of footsteps did not attract even the slightest attention from "Edogawa Ranpo" who had his back turned to him.

Is it because the other party is caught in his own thoughts and has not received any external information for the time being?

Do you want to step on it harder on purpose?But it was too late.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's secret entanglement quickly ended the short distance of a few meters.Although the plan failed, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who still didn't know how to speak, did not give up his devious tactics, and naturally came to the single sofa next to Sakurai, greeted him politely, and was about to sit down.

Sakurai didn't realize Fukuzawa Yukichi's arrival until he saw Fukuzawa Yukichi came to his side from the corner of the eye, and he was shocked in his heart because Sakurai didn't hear the other's footsteps at all.

No, it's not completely inaudible either.

There was almost three seconds between when Sakurai saw the figure of Fukuzawa Yukichi and when Fukuzawa Yukichi actually sat down. After realizing that someone was there, as long as Sakurai tried hard to distinguish, he could still hear a little footsteps of.

Sakurai immediately thought of the setting of "contractor".

In Sakurai Yo's cognition, the price paid by the "contractor" is basically divided into two categories - its own coercive behavior or changes.Occasionally there are cases of one-time payments.

Compulsory behaviors, such as breaking off a finger every time you use an ability, and mandatory changes, such as losing three years of life every time you use an ability.

At first, Sakurai Hato thought that the ability of "Contractor Ranpo" was a one-time payment type, but when he found out just now, he slapped Sakurai Hato heavily in the face.

Sakurai Hato's last vest "Gojo Satoru, the Cursed King" has been greatly strengthened physically, so when changing the vest, the sensitivity of Sakurai Hato's facial features has a momentary fault, especially the eyes. Sakurai, who happened to be thrown in a dark alley, thought for a moment that he was blind.

Sakurai originally thought that he had no problems other than his sense of taste, but the moment he saw Fukuzawa Yukichi, he was connected with his past and personality, and Sakurai immediately understood Fukuzawa Yukichi's little thoughts... Since Fukuzawa Yukichi wanted to use the sound of footsteps to attract his attention, then this sound can definitely be easily heard by Edogawa Ranpo.

But, again, he couldn't hear the sound.

——He has a hearing problem in "Contractor Chaos"

On this side, Sakurai Makoto was immersed in his own thoughts, and on the other hand, Edogawa Ranpo rarely greeted Fukuzawa Yukichi when he entered the door. He stared at Sakurai Makoto who didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, and then blocked by the body, at the blind spot of Sakurai's line of sight, he slightly pushed his arm, and a pen on the desk rolled down to the ground.

The floor was covered with a thin carpet, and the sound of the pen falling to the ground was muffled, not too loud, but it was still clearly audible when no one was talking, and it belonged to the level that anyone with normal hearing could hear.

Fukuzawa Yukichi subconsciously turned his gaze to the place where the voice came out. Sakurai Matou saw Fukuzawa Yukichi's movements and turned his head belatedly.

The first thing that caught the eye was Ranpo Edogawa with an expressionless face. At the next glance, Sakurai understood everything instantly after seeing the shallow pit on the carpet and the pen that had just stopped rolling.

No, it was found.

Edogawa Ranpo felt that he had never been so helpless, and what happened in just half an hour made him laugh angrily.

Edogawa raised the corners of his mouth in disorder, and asked in a sullen tone, "Why do you have problems with your ears?"

Before Sakurai could explain, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who thought of Atsushi Nakajima and him saying "another Mr. Ranpo has a problem with his sense of taste", immediately realized an important problem——

"Do you have any other problems?" Fukuzawa Yukichi's tone was a bit heavy.

Sakurai Hato—or "Contractor Ranpo" subconsciously turned his head to the side, not looking at Fukuzawa Yukichi.

This evasive move made the atmosphere of the scene drop to freezing point for a while.

The author has something to say:

I caught a bug and said I caught it. Damn it, that's why I hate the app

Now the plot has not unfolded too much, this is only 2 words, how can you come up with Wang Zha, but I have a fight with those of you who say that they are not abused every day. Recently, I am making up abuse episodes that I didn’t dare to watch before. You should be aware .

But I don't like to abuse for the sake of abuse, and I am used to good endings, so the end of every story is sweet, for example, the last copy.

By the way, I usually update at 0:[-], and it is basically a moth at other times.

ps: I went out to play on May [-]st, and I will work harder, but in case... I will ask for leave in advance.
