I, Zhongli, wander the world

After that day, Yosano Akiko's mental state improved a lot visibly.

There was a smile on the girl's face, she no longer completely closed herself off, and occasionally took the initiative to communicate with others.Although you can still see the traces of forcing yourself, it is undoubtedly much better than the autism at the beginning.

Edogawa Ranpo was so happy that he even ate several bags of snacks.

Then he was banned from snacks by the conscientious president of Butei.

"So Ranpo just wants to take the opportunity to eat snacks." Nakahara Nakahara, who patiently listened to Edogawa Ranpo's complaint, rolled his eyes, "Although Mr. is your current guardian in name, the president is also very Responsible, I won’t let you mess around.”

As early as a few years ago when he formed the "Detective Team" with Edogawa Ranpo, Fukuzawa Yukichi had a serious conversation with Zhongli about the future of the teenager.After that, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who consciously assumed the responsibility of "half the parent", was extremely concerned about the safety and health of Edogawa Ranpo, and was even stricter than Zhong Li, who had always pursued guidance and education.

"I was celebrating! Celebrating!" Edogawa Ranpo patted the table unhappily.

"Yeah, let's celebrate." Zhong Yuan Zhong, who had long been used to his little friend's childish nonsense, said casually, and stood up and patted the folds on his clothes.

"I made an appointment with Oda Tsukuru today to help out in the orphanage. By the way, I will save club points for extracurricular activities. I will go back later, so you don't have to wait for me if you don't run around."

Edogawa whimpered and turned his head away, "Who would wait for me to play, Mr. Orange...be careful on the road."

The last word sounded so soft that it seemed to be hummed from the nasal cavity.

Knew it would be like this.Zhong Yuanzhong also sighed helplessly, and put the strawberry toffee left in his pocket on the small coffee table.

"Just this one, don't tell the president that I gave it to you."

Edogawa, who had been waiting for Nakahara Chuya to soften his heart, gave a loud cheer, unwrapped the package fluently and threw the toffee into his mouth.

Zhong Yuan also shook his head, and greeted Yosano Akiko who was quietly reading a book beside him: "Then I'm leaving, Akiko."

"Hmm." Yosano Akiko raised her head from the book, with a light smile on her face, "Bon voyage... Chuya."

The children adopted in the orphanage are sensible and obedient, so there are actually not many things to be busy with.After helping Oda Sakunosuke with the necessary cleaning, the young Nakahara was sent to the yard to accompany the children to play some games that children like to play.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, holding an ugly red-eyed doll, looked around, lowered his head and whispered in disappointment, "Mr. Zhongli is not here."

"... Ryunosuke, I have never asked before, why do you admire Mr. Zhongli so much?"

Because of his own schooling, Zhongya Zhongya is not as clear as he was when he was a child, what Zhongli will do every day.When he meets the newcomer Akutagawa Ryunosuke in the orphanage one day, the latter already respects and even admires Zhongli.

In a way, even more radical than him.

Xiao Ryunosuke was obviously happy to talk about Zhongli-related topics, he subconsciously stood up straight, hugged the doll in his arms tightly and said solemnly: "Because Mr. Zhongli saved my subordinates and Yin that day, and also pointed out the way forward for the confused subordinates. So, even in this orphanage, I will work hard to become an excellent person who can impress Mr. Zhongli!"

Under the description of the 800-meter-thick filter that the child deepened, the Mr. Zhongli he saw after waking up from his serious injury that day was glowing all over his body, and he wanted to become a shining person like Mr. Zhongli!

I didn't expect that when I asked the other party casually, the cooking power would be released to Zhongyuan Zhongye who had all explained: "Ah, oh, then...you work hard?"

"Yes! I will work hard!" more solemnly.

A small episode can't cause any waves. When the sky gets darker, it's time to go back to the Central Plains.

Perhaps it was because Mr. Fubuki Zhongli gained enough favor with Mr. Zhongli, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who has never paid much attention to people other than Zhongli and Oda Sakunosuke, hugged his little doll and sent Nakahara Nakaya all the way until he left the orphanage.

Accompanying him is Gin Akutagawa, who is inseparable from his elder brother.

"Just get here." Chuya Nakahara waved his hand, "Although it is biased towards the suburbs, it does not rule out the possibility that the mafia who is dazed may touch this side. Ryunosuke should go back with Yin first."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke said solemnly: "If we talk about self-protection ability, I also have supernatural powers. It's not safe for Chuya brother to go back alone at such a late hour. If two supernatural beings are together, don't worry... ..."

"...Then you can stay at my house on the grounds that it's getting late, right?" Zhongyuan Zhong also gave the child a helpless look, "Mr. Zhongli will come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, don't use your cleverness in such a place ah!"

All the attention was on Ryunosuke who would come to Zhongli: "Sorry, I will pay attention next time."

"Say 'no next time' to me at a time like this!"

Just as the teenager and the boy were struggling to the limit, there were suddenly rustling footsteps in the woods not far away.

The sound of footsteps was aboveboard, and it was obvious that the visitor had no intention of covering it up.Zhong Yuanzhong also looked up vigilantly, and saw two strange men who had never seen before coming out of the woods.

Both of them were dressed in a retro style that was out of touch with the times, and there was a similar arrogance on their faces.One of them took a step forward, raised his chin slightly and said, "Are you Zhongye of the Central Plains?"

The accent is a Kyoto dialect with an elegant transition.

"Yes, I am Chuya from the Central Plains."

Nakahara Chuya replied in his mouth, and his feet seemed to make a random mistake, vaguely guarding the Akutagawa brothers and sisters behind him.

The person on the opposite side didn't care about Zhongye Zhongye's small actions. Rather, in his opinion, these mediocre ordinary people don't need to care about what they do, so he continued to say arrogantly: "Then, Zhongye Zhongye, as Zhongli, you The adopted child must be very clear about what he has done, right?"

"The magic world suspects the source of that man's powerful strength, please cooperate with our investigation."

"Someone from the magic world?"

In the small clinic with only an incandescent light on, Mori Ogai put the sterilized murder scalpel in the carrying bag and repeated in surprise.

The red-haired girl on the opposite side clenched the hand of her lost and recovered lover, raised her eyes and said, "That's right, that man has been receiving people from the magic world for the past two days. Some cooperation. The purpose of coming this time is to investigate that...Mr. Zhongli."

The red-haired girl in charge of information has naturally heard of the name "Zhongli". She even knows exactly which row, column, and drawer of the archive room the red-marked files that record all relevant information are in, but she never thought about it. The one who saved his lover would be this powerful supernatural being who made the whole world in Yokohama afraid.

Still under the control of the port mafia, she didn't even have the capital to repay the other party. The only thing she could do was to inform Mori Ogai who was in contact with Zhongli as soon as she learned of the evil intentions of the magic world.

"Oh... this is really big news, Momiji-kun." Mori Ogai rested his chin on one hand and meditated, "I didn't expect that arrogant magic world to pay attention to us supernatural beings."

Mori Ogai, who was born in the government, has disliked the small society that is out of the rule of law for a long time, and he didn't save them any face in his words.

Koye Ozaki has no idea about the magic world, she is only worried about her lover's savior, "I heard that it was because of some powerful magic spirit that they noticed it, and they said that the source of this power is unreasonable... huh , in the eyes of the concubine, it is nothing more than coveting the power of the transcendent."

Mori Ogai asked seemingly unintentionally: "So, they want to go directly to Mr. Zhongli?"

"That was indeed the case at the beginning." Ozaki Koyo said, "But they were dissuaded by that man. I have heard about it. They planned to go to the child named 'Chuya Nakahara' first."

"……Hey."

A meaningless syllable came out of his mouth, and it took a little effort for Mori Ogai to resist his subconscious urge to fall back tactically.

Why had he been in a predicament where no one could use him before, and why hadn't he acted immediately to pick up the juicy cabbage in Zhongli's field?

Wasn't it because of so many years of contact, he has already figured out the nature of Zhongli's protection under his indifferent appearance!

Mori Ogai almost wanted to applaud their deadly behavior.

"Well... I think Mr. Hongye doesn't have to worry about Mr. Zhongli's safety." Mori Ogai said slowly, "Don't worry, according to my understanding, both Mr. Zhongli and the people around him have enough self-protection power. There is no other possibility for actions in the magic world other than to fail."

"It's enough for us to do our own thing."

By the way, this incident can also be used to weaken the connections of some leaders.

Mori Ogai lowered his eyes and thought.

But there is no need to tell Ozaki Koye about this little thought.

Naturally, Zhongyuan Zhong would not easily compromise with these two people.

Leaving aside the fact that the only person he had in-depth contact with in the magic world was Zenyuan Shier, and the detective agency's information on the magic world was just a few words, and it was not clear what the specific process was at all.Judging by the arrogant and unknowing attitude of the two people in front of them, he wouldn't cooperate just by saying they cooperated.

"If the two of you really want to investigate clearly, you should visit me formally instead of coming to me secretly." Nakahara Zhong also said cautiously.

Listen to what these two people said, "doubt the source of power"?

When did it become their turn to be doubted by an unknown person?

"The supernatural person shouldn't have such a powerful energy that can kill the curse spirit, or he is not a pure supernatural person at all." The arrogant uninvited guest said, "We just want to investigate the suspicious man..."

"Take back your disrespectful words!"

The crisp voice that has not yet experienced the voice-changing period resounded with anger, and a long white shadow pierced through the air. The man's expression changed before he finished speaking, and he quickly took a step back, causing the white foreign object to rub the toe of his shoe. Driven deep into the ground.

The other person who had been silent behind him rushed out immediately, stretched his right hand forward, and grabbed Akutagawa Ryunosuke who suddenly attacked.

His attack was stopped by Zhongyuan Zhongye halfway.

The expression on the face of the red-haired boy was tense, and he was obviously also angry at the previous words. Compared with the impulsive Ryunosuke, he was still able to suppress his anger and said: "Please apologize for the previous rudeness, gentlemen."

"Find it out, that brat attacked me first!" The man looked at the part of the toe of the shoe with a lingering fear that was only slightly scratched and had a big hole, and then said angrily: "So I said earlier that I don't have to talk to these people." Suspicious people speak the truth, from the Buddhist monastery. These supernatural beings don't know what rules are!"

"Don't blame me. Aren't you afraid of that Zhongli's strength?" The man whose surname is Zenyuan said indifferently, "Instead of worrying about this, it's better to arrest this brat first, from the Kamo family."

They were all here to restrain Wutiao's power, so who can step on whom?

Seeing that these people were about to tear their faces apart, Zhong Yuanzhong also became serious, with a faint red light on his body.

The hem of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's coat behind him also moved like a living thing.

at this time.

"boom!"

The huge gunshots echoed in the forest, and Sakunosuke Oda, wearing an orphanage-style apron, walked over with a pistol smoking from the muzzle in his right hand, followed by Gin Akutagawa, who was probing his head.

The fired bullet flew past Zenyuan's face, and finally penetrated the ground in front of the toe of Kamo's shoe with precision.Zenyuan's complexion changed, and he immediately forced Chuya Nakahara who was confronting him back, and retreated back to Kamo.

"Please calm down, both of you, and don't shoot at the child." Oda Sakunosuke's calm voice sounded in the arena, "Is there anything you can't say properly?"
