I can't lose to my ex today

Chapter26

"Well... let the famous detective take a look..."

Edogawa Ranpo took two steps closer, squinting his eyes and looking up and down at the boy in front of him, and quickly deciphered the information on him.

And the half of the boy's face covered by his collar blushed even more, and he even spoke incoherently to the point of confusion:

"Tuna! Tuna!"

"There's nothing to be surprised about, I've said it all, a famous detective knows everything~" Edogawa calmly switched his brain to Goujuan language, and at the same time completed the analysis of the information on the other party in an instant, "You'd better Hurry up and leave, if you can't catch the tram coming in 3 minutes, then you may not be able to catch the ferry you're going to take at the port... Forget it, I'll take you there, catch up!"

While talking, Edogawa Ranbo trotted to lead the way, beckoning the dog to run to the entrance of the tram station in the right direction, and the dog also hurriedly followed.

"By the way, if you want to buy Yokohama souvenirs for your friends, don't buy those from Minato Mirai. Those are specially sold to foreign tourists like you. I strongly recommend the basement one of the old department store opposite Yokohama Station. The store at the top of the stairs, you can visit it when you leave."

While running, Edogawa Ranpo showed Yokohama's honesty and honesty, Yokohama people's hospitality... Well, actually, Ranpo-sama was in a good mood today, so he was very enthusiastic, because the president came back from a business trip today!

Goujuanji really planned to bring gifts to Jugao's friends before leaving. At this moment, I can't help being surprised again that this girl can even see this... However, maybe it is really like As she said, she knew everything.

Including words that I wanted to say but couldn't say normally because of my special ability.

It was the first time I met a girl who could understand him without words...

The collar that stood up to cover half of his face was no longer useful... because his entire face was already completely red.

"Ah! It's here, haha, just in time!"

Edogawa Ranpo, who took the lead all the way, didn't look back to notice the boy's blushing face. When he ran, he saw that the tram had already stopped at the station, and he pushed the boy onto the tram.

Staggering to get on the tram at the last moment, the dog who was standing at the door of the tram hurriedly turned around:

"Kelp! Kelp!"

He hasn't even had time to say hello to this girl... Well, with his mouth full of kelp, will he know that he is saying hello to her?

Yes, definitely will, if it is her, she will definitely understand!

Sure enough, in the next second, before the tram door closed, Edogawa Luanbu outside the tram raised his hand and pressed the beret on his head, with a usual smile on his mouth, and introduced himself to the boy:

"My name is Edogawa Ranpo, and I'm a detective... no, I'm a detective!"

"Caviar roe!"

"If there are any difficulties that need to be solved, you can entrust our Yokohama Armed Detective Agency. Just send a private message to our official Twitter. No matter what entrustment it is, it is no problem for a famous detective."

Edogawa Ranpo never forgets to advertise her own detective agency... After going back for a while, ask the president to praise her, hehe~

The tram drove away, and the dog curly sticks to the glass of the car door, watching the girl standing on the platform get farther and farther away, until she can no longer see her.

However, he felt his heart beating more and more violently.

Realizing that his state was not right, Gou Juanji shook his head again and again to regain his senses, he was here to do the task.

This task was originally assigned to Mr. Gojo from above, but when Mr. Gojo heard that the location of the task was in Yokohama, he flatly and decisively refused it. He refused to come to Yokohama no matter what, saying that Yokohama was...too unlucky.In the end, this task fell on him and Yuta Oto. Yuta Oto, who had just finished his mission in Nagoya, went directly to Yokohama by boat and met him at the mission location.

But he thinks Yokohama is a nice city, clean and tidy, with simple folk customs... like the kind detective lady just now.

Thinking of this, the blush that was about to subside rose again on Goujuanji's face.

I couldn't help but took out my phone and searched for the official account of the Yokohama Armed Detective Agency on Twitter.

When I saw the photo published on the official account, Edogawa Ranpo holding a three-colored cat, tilting his head towards the camera to show cuteness...

"Grow muscles!"

...OK, so cute.

At this moment, on the platform, watching the train leave, what Edogawa Ranpo is thinking about is...

[My name is Edogawa Ranpo, and I'm a detective. 】

Well, no, no, the self-introduction I learned from that kid Kudo Shinichi is really not handsome enough, I need a more handsome introduction!

For this kind of thing, you should go back and ask Poe. After all, Poe has written so many novels, so he must have some writing skills.

Edogawa Ranpo's emotions always come and go quickly, and soon he took light and joyful steps, turned around and walked towards the entrance of another tram line, ready to go home for a while on a business trip the president.

But before turning around, he still looked in the direction of the tram just now...

Alas, the students who are sent by an unreliable teacher like Gojo Satoru are really pitiful.

……

In the evening, Fukuzawa's house——

In the living room, Edogawa was sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat, eating the matcha baumkuchen, a special gift from Kyoto, on the table.

Haha, sure enough, the president knows her best, and he can choose her favorite flavor without her telling me!

Fukuzawa Yukichi was on a business trip to Kyoto for almost a month this time, and returned to Yokohama at noon today.First, I went to the detective agency to distribute the souvenirs brought back to the members, and then in the afternoon, I promised the team of Mr. Natsume, who hadn't shown up for a long time, to drink an afternoon tea from the same family, and by the way, I also gave the best tea brought back from Kyoto to Natsume-sensei... Oh, there is no present for Mori Ogai.

At this moment, the last present was naturally a Kyoto special dessert bought for Ranpo.

Looking at Ranpo Edogawa, who was eating with cake crumbs on the corners of his mouth and looking contented, Fukuzawa Yukichi's usually tense and serious face softened a little because of his relief. .

He watched this little girl grow up, from the age of 14 when he first met her to the age of 27 now... Although it seems that there is not much change in appearance or character in these 13 years, but he You know, she's grown up after all.

And thinking of what she said to Yosano Akiko about reuniting Gojo Satoru after returning to the detective agency today...

Although he has always claimed to be an enlightened guardian, he will not interfere with the child's emotional choice, as long as the child likes it... But after the failure experience of the previous period, he still can't rest assured.

People, you can't be stumbled twice in the same place, walking in disorder.

He has absolutely no objection to letting Ranpo fall in love freely, but, but... It's okay to give a little guidance and advice once in a while, right?

[No matter how smart a girl is, she will inevitably be blinded in the face of love. At this time, the guidance of the elders is very important. Generally speaking, if the elders think that a man is unreliable...then there is a high probability that he is unreliable. 】

Recalling what Mori Ogai said during the afternoon tea party, Fukuzawa Yukichi fell into deeper entanglement.

Of course, what did Mori Ogai say [If I have a daughter, I will never allow her to be abducted by those bugs outside!Be sure to hunt and kill all those bedbugs secretly at the beginning of the relationship!Not one left! ], such words...he simply ignored them.

After all, the person who said this is not a very reliable person.

After pondering for a while, seeing Edogawa Ranpo eating happily in front of him, Fukuzawa Yukichi finally opened his mouth tentatively and said:

"Ranbu... This time I went to Kyoto on a business trip and stayed at Ooka's house in Kyoto for a few days. Do you still have memories of Ooka's house? We visited together two years ago."

Hearing the Ooka family in Kyoto, Ranpo Edogawa, who was concentrating on the matcha baumkuchen in front of him, succinctly expressed his core impression of the Ooka family:

"I don't like Ooka Momiji."

Edogawa Ranpo has always been a very straightforward person. He likes whoever he likes, and dislikes whoever he doesn't like. He never hides it.

... Gojo Satoru is probably the only most tangled exception.

Of course, a famous detective would not admit this!

Gojo Satoru is currently No.1 on the blacklist in her heart!

Although Fukuzawa Yukichi was choked by the topic of Edogawa's chaos, it didn't matter, what he wanted to talk about was not the young lady of the Ooka family, what he wanted to say was:

"Do you still remember the housekeeper of Ooka's house, Mr. Iori Muga?"

"Iori? Well, he's the only person in the Ooka family I don't hate."

Ranpo Edogawa didn't like the entire Ooka family very much. She was also rich, but she still preferred the atmosphere of Suzuki's house in Tokyo.And the only person in the Ooka family who is quite interesting is the housekeeper Mr. Iori Mume, at least not an idiot.

Seeing that the topic could continue, Fukuzawa Yukichi hurriedly continued:

"When I visited Ooka's house this time, Mr. Iori also asked about you, how are you doing recently, and, if you are free, you are welcome to go to Kyoto. If you go to Kyoto, he will make time to have a good time. I entertain you."

"Haha, does he still remember that he lost to me in the reasoning competition last time~" For those who can arouse a little interest, Edogawa Ranpo will always remember more details, "But last time he lost to me Finally, I would like to bet against the [-]-year-old Kyoto dim sum shop that I was invited to eat. He is also an old colleague, so we should have some conversations when we meet. Taking a zero-drive car is much more exciting than riding a roller coaster in an amusement park... Ah, I mean, when he is not on duty with zero rest, it will not delay his normal work !"

Worried that the president would be angry when she heard that she wanted the people's police to serve her as a driver without a proper job during working hours, he hurriedly added...it will not affect the Jianggu police work!

But this time, Fukuzawa Yukichi was not angry, and even faintly... relieved?

Continue to ask tentatively:

"Recently, have you met with Jianggu police?"

"Well... during this period of time, Yokohama has not had any cases, and I have no chance to see him at the scene of the case or at the police station~ However, I met him in the park a few times walking his dog after work, which is the one he raised. The big white dog named Haro, every time he sees me, he jumps at me directly. I like cats more than dogs! But once when I was with everyone, Haro was 'teased' by Dazai once, and since then I saw The detective agency took a detour haha~"

"Then... Ranpo, what do you think about Fukuzawa's warning him?" Fukuzawa Yukichi of the Ultra Cat faction cared more about Haro's master than Haro.

"Zero makes delicious dim sum!"

Edogawa Ranpo smiled and said the most intuitive feeling for Furutani Rei.

By the way, Zero has promised to give her homemade biscuits this weekend... Well, the president has said many times that we should reciprocate courtesy, we can't always just take things from others, we must learn basic manners.

Alright, alright, then this time the matcha baumkuchen, Mr. Ranpo will save a piece for him!

...Well, bring a bag of dog biscuits for Haro too, last time Dazai really went too far, almost made Haro "bully" cry.

And Fukuzawa Yukichi, after hearing Edogawa Ranpo's blunt praise of Furutani Rei's craftsmanship... was still relieved.

Well, if you want to grab someone's heart, you have to grab someone's stomach first. In this respect, the Jianggu police officer can be said to be full marks.

Although Gojo Satoru was able to do this by spending money in the past...but the delicacy bought is different from the delicacy made by himself!

Fukuzawa Yukichi continued to ask after subconsciously adding [-] points to Furutani Rei and deducting [-] points from Gojo Satoru in the son-in-law scoring system in his heart.

"Ranpo, during your trip to Karuizawa this time, did you meet that Mobu Takaaki police department from Nagano Prefecture?"

He also has a good impression of Zhu Fu Gaoming Police Department, mature, steady, intelligent and reliable, and he is also very tolerant of various petty tempers of Luanbu.

"I haven't seen Gao Ming, but I caught a speeding violator and sent him to the police station. I want Gao Ming to educate this lawless and immoral person!"

As for who is this "lawless and civic-minded" person... Hey, Mr. Luanbu, don't mention the name of the five turtles!

However, how could Fukuzawa Yukichi, who knows Edogawa Ranpo so well, not guess who Edogawa Ranpo was talking about? Maybe even Edogawa Ranpo himself hadn't noticed it. When he mentioned that person , her tone would become agitated, even if she was angrily agitated, she would eventually become overly agitated because of that person.

Fukuzawa Yukichi hastily shifted the topic away from the inappropriate person, and continued to ask carefully like an old father who cares about his daughter's friendship status:

"Where is Poe? Does he plan to come to Japan soon? Are you still in touch with him online?"

"Poe will send me a puzzle or a code every two days to confuse me, but it's nothing to me~ He said before that he wants to write a super-difficult mystery novel Later, Japan let me play, hehe, then I will wait!"

After listening, Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded, feeling even more relieved.

Although Edgar Allan Poe is not good at words and his personality is too restrained, he really treats Ranpo wholeheartedly, and he listens to everything, and he is infinitely tolerant of Ranpo.Especially last year when the Five Decays of Heaven happened, I stayed with Luanbu to support her, help her, and accompany her through the most difficult days.

Well, it's really reliable.

"President, what on earth are you trying to say..." Edogawa Ranpo muttered while chewing on the cake, and at the same time couldn't help asking the opposite president who was obviously holding back his words.

Knowing that if he had something on his mind, he would never be able to hide it from Edogawa Ranpo, Fukuzawa Yukichi also simply made up his mind and said it in one breath:

"Ranbu, do you...would you like to consider a blind date?"

After saying this, Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't help covering his face.

... Has he finally become a parent who urges his children to go on blind dates?

[Although blind date does not sound very romantic, it is also the best solution in terms of choosing a reliable long-term partner.In this way, Your Excellency Fukuzawa, you can also help screen candidates and eliminate those unreliable people with ulterior motives directly from the very beginning. 】

It's all because of what that fellow Mori Ogai said at the tea party this afternoon. After all, he has become an annoying parent... But I have to say those words, and they really make sense.

[Ah, Your Excellency Fukuzawa, if your little Ranpo wants to recruit relatives, I will first register for our family's Mr. Nakaya, and we must rank Mr. Ye at the front, so that the two children can get in touch with each other more. It’s pretty good, the two of them were imprisoned in the power book together before, didn’t they get along well~]

【Ahahaha, I found out that I wanted to bring Ranpo into PortMafia, um... My Dazai-kun has come to Mr. Fukuzawa, so I will take Ranpo from your detective agency. It's okay to take it over here, it's a courtesy. 】

[Hey, I almost forgot, the Armed Detective Agency itself was established for Xiaoranpo, the only detective was taken away, and only the armed forces were left... wouldn't it become a hired thugs team?Well, if that’s the case, why don’t you simply incorporate them into our PortMafia banner, and I’ll give you the highest special unit treatment~]

At the tea party, when Mori Ogai babbled these words, if Mr. Natsume was not there, he would have drawn his sword on the spot with a black face!

However, Natsume-sensei was sipping tea calmly on the sidelines.

... Natsume-sensei, look at this man!

But at this moment, hearing what Fukuzawa Yukichi just said, Edogawa Ranpo almost lost the small cake in his hand, and his green cat eyes widened.

Meet, meet, meet... Blind date? !

This word has never appeared in Edogawa Ranpo's life in the past 27 years, and he has not even had this kind of awareness at all, and he was greatly shocked for a while.

"Wow...President! Do you think I eat too much and want to kick me out! I, I, I will only eat a pack of thick snacks every day from now on, please don't drive me away, okay? Woohoo!"

"No, no, I didn't intend to drive you away... Don't, don't cry, you are walking around!"

……

Tokyo, High School of Conjuration——

On a sunny day, the students who finished their day or courses or tasks gathered in the classroom to chat.

Sitting at the table by the window, Curly Thorn rested his chin with one hand, quietly looking at the blooming cherry blossoms in the yard outside the window.

It was the first time to taste the throbbing heart, and it was the season of cherry blossoms, and the result was...dokidoki thumping.

On the side, the little friends gathered together, secretly observing and quietly discussing what happened to the dog curly thorn these two days... It seems a bit, not the same?

"After the meeting with Chi in Yokohama that day, Chi's face was so red that he couldn't move. I thought he had a fever, and I wanted him to rest, or I could do the task by myself, but he kept saying 'Muyuhua ’, it’s not that I have a fever.” Yigu Youta described the situation when he saw the dog curling the spine that day.

After hearing this, Fu Heihui analyzed, "If it's not a fever, generally speaking, it should be something that caused excitement, and the face will turn red."

Exciting thing...

Knotabazu Yuhito stepped forward first, and patted the senior on the shoulder:

"Senior Goujuan, have you won the lottery recently?!"

"Muyuhua." The dog Juanji shook his head again and again.

Zenyuan Maki also speculated:

"Have you bought any better throat medicine recently?"

"Muyuhua, Muyuhua." The dog curly spine still shook his head.

At this time, Nagasaki Wild Rose, who always had a pink girlish heart, boldly guessed:

"Senior Goujuan has a girl he likes?"

As soon as this remark was made, the response was... silence.

Not denying, that is... affirmation?

Eh--? !

Mangao and the others gathered around, looking in surprise at the dog curly spine who said nothing but had flushed face.

They all know that Gou Juanji has never had any emotional experience, so this time is... the beginning of love? !

This can be called the biggest news of the Conjuration High School since this period of time.

... As for the reunion of Gojo Satoru and his ex-girlfriend some time ago, since Ye Mo Zhengdao called Gojo Satoru to talk to him because he learned about it, Gojo Satoru has been very interested in the three who experienced the reunion trip of their exes. The student shut up.

Do not speak out!

And, he didn't lose!

And at this moment, there was finally a new piece of news that could overwhelm Gojo Satoru's ex-reunion event.

Surrounded by his friends, Goujuanji took out a signature pen, wrote a line on the paper, and then held it up——

【I may be in love】

He has never experienced such a thing before, and he has been restless for the past two days... and he has never mustered up the courage to post a private message on the official Twitter of the Yokohama Armed Detective Agency.

At this moment, it seems that it is not bad to share this unexpected trouble with your partners?

...Although the solo rate of mothers and fetuses is also very high.

Oh, because of Youtai, the mother-fetal solo rate is not directly zero.

And all the little friends can't wait to make guesses about this girl who made Gou Juan's love first open.

"What type, what type of girl is it?! Is it that kind of charming and enchanting big sister?!"

"Woodfish flower!"

"That's...the gentle and beautiful type, that kind of quiet and sweet girl?"

"Woodfish flower!"

"Hmm... is that kind of lively and cute girl?"

"……Salmon."

Hearing such an affirmative answer, the group of friends became even more noisy... Oh, oh, oh, it turns out that they like lively and cute girls!

For a while, Goujuji couldn't explain, it wasn't that he liked a certain type of girl, but that girl named Edogawa Ranpo... was special.

"Ji, the souvenir you brought back from Yokohama is good. I bought this chestnut cake at the old shopping mall opposite Yokohama Station. Teacher, I used to go there to buy chestnut cakes. The chestnut cakes at that store are absolutely delicious. No.1 in Yokohama!"

The door of the classroom was slammed open, and Gojo Satoru walked in cheerfully, holding in his arms the gift that the dog Curly had brought back from Yokohama.

When Gojo Satoru, who was praising this gift, saw the paper that said "I may be in love" in the hand of the dog, he was as excited as the other students. stand up.

Excitedly said:

"Eh?! Ji actually has a girl he likes, that's right, Ji has reached this age, it's time to talk about a youthful love! When the teacher fell in love for the first time, it was almost like this Age, if you have any questions about love, you can come and ask the teacher!"

Hearing this, Fu Heihui on the side couldn't help complaining silently in his heart... Didn't you just have that relationship, and it failed in the end.

However, your experience can be provided to Senior Goujuan in reverse... Maybe it will be positive.
