Personality is to like [Comprehensive]

According to the logic, today is the day when the two workplace experience students arranged by Xiongying came to report.

Because of this, Kunikida Doppo, who was assigned by the president to be responsible for reception and guidance, did not have any tasks and stayed at the headquarters of the Armed Detective Agency.

but--

Leaving aside the black-haired young man who didn't look like a "student" at all, Kunikida Doppo roughly scanned the group of people at the door, but didn't find the girl named "Yayoi Aoki" who matched the information.

His eyes were drawn back in time to the too-beautiful black-haired woman, and Kunikida looked at the only young man who echoed the information.

"Mr. Ichimokuren, is that right? This is Doppo Kunikida, a member of the Armed Detective Agency. May I ask what happened? Where is Aoki?"

Noticing that Ichimokuren naturally turned his gaze to the young woman beside him who was holding her hand, Kunikida Doppo came to a preliminary conclusion.

——That woman is the team that holds the right to speak.

So he also closed his notebook, secretly raised his vigilance, and looked at the one who hadn't spoken so far.

"Mr. Kunitaki, good day. I am Yamit, and we are Yayoi Aoki's companions. The incident happened suddenly, and it is not convenient for her to show up for the time being, and we were also attacked last night."

Yayoi Aoki drafted these words on the way, so now she tells a lie and speaks it as smoothly as silk.

"There seems to be some abnormality in Yokohama. After discussion, we feel that we should contact the Armed Detective Agency and seek temporary shelter. Is President Fukuzawa in your place at the moment, and it is convenient for an interview?"

Kunikida Doppo pondered for a moment.

Indeed, Yokohama has experienced an abnormal situation recently. It is precisely because of this that Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency, will go out frequently during this period.

Although the sudden visit of these people is somewhat suspicious, "Yimulian" is indeed a character that exists in the information sent by Xiongying...

Whether it's a lie or not, it doesn't hurt to listen to it.

Thoughts turned, Kunikida Doppo finally took the initiative to take a step back, opened the door completely, and opened the business model like a qualified social elite.

"Sorry, the president of our company is out for a while and should be back soon. Gentlemen, please follow me, wait a moment—coffee? Or hot tea."

Fujimaru Tachika and his party filled the two rows of couches.

While Kunikida Doppo was preparing drinks for the guests, the door at the back of the office was suddenly opened.

The young man in a retro brown British dress unsteadily held a stack of papers similar to reports, got out of it, and without thinking, he spoke to Kunikida Doppo in the kitchen, dragging a soft tone.

"Kunikida—where's my snack? Snack!"

Putting down the cup in his hand, Kunikida Doppo raised his head with a happy face.

"Ah, Ranpo-san, is it over yet? Thank you for your hard work! I'm very sorry, I'll bring it for you right away. Please wait a moment, I'm making coffee for the guests who come to the door."

Hearing this, the young man called "Ranbu" felt like a deflated balloon, with his shoulders drooping.

"Eh~ guest? Having said that, at a time like this, I, a famous detective, am not interested in those boring cases that can be understood at a glance——huh?"

Halfway through his speech, his eyes fell on the two rows of "well-behaved and curious.jpg" guests on the sofa.After looking at Mulian for a moment, his eyes quickly swept across the others, and finally settled on Yayoi Aoki.

The young man squinted his eyes, walked up to Yayoi Aoki in two or three steps, bent down to look into her eyes, completely ignoring the unfriendly attitude of Yi Mulian next to him.

"Kunikida, where did you pick up this little liar who lied?"

Kunikida Doppo's hand paused, and he removed the cover of the notebook from the coffee machine.

Looking at the situation behind him through the glass of the cabinet, he didn't react too much, and he didn't even turn his head. He just tensed his fingers, and his voice was still peaceful.

"Mr. Ichimokuren over there is someone on the information sent by Xiongying. The woman next to him claims to be Yamit. It is said that Yayoi Aoki's accident happened suddenly and she cannot be visited. They are in an emergency. Came to provide information and seek refuge, Mr. Ranpo."

"Huh? Is it like this?"

Edogawa Ranpo burst out laughing.

He straightened up, took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, and rested his fingers on the frame. The posture of wearing the glasses was chic and neat, as if they had been specially rehearsed, and he was still chanting words.

"Then let me see, what kind of lies are you talking about—powers, super reasoning!"

Fujimaru Tachika couldn't help but quietly used the communicator to live broadcast with Chaldea: "Is this the scene of some magical girl's transformation?!"

Dr. Roman, who had lost the strawberry cake, was like a flower that had been drained of water. He drooped his head and answered casually: "I didn't detect any power fluctuations. It's probably just the late stage of the second disease, evolution, and the second disease."

Yayoi Aoki who was named, the involuntarily tense muscles also regained their relaxation due to the calm and calm.

"……I see."

In a very ceremonial manner, Edogawa Ranbu folded his hands around his chest, his smiling eyes, and his brisk speaking speed made him seem like a different person, switching from a childish ordinary sophomore to a confident young man. Dazzling professionals.

Throwing aside the pile of useless papers, he leaned on the back of the sofa, staring directly at Yayoi Aoki, as if they were shining brightly, like a child staring at a toy that he must have.

"Yayoi Aoki, right? You met that 'monster', just now... and encountered some kind of accident, and became what you are now."

"The two next to you are also part of your 'accident', and there is a high probability that they are related to the 'abnormality' in Yokohama. Am I right? Miss Liar."

"Ah, Kunikida, these are the freshest and warmest sources of information. They have no malicious intentions and came to cooperate. Inform the president and ask him to come back as soon as possible."

In a daze, Yayoi Aoki looked at Ranpo Edogawa, whose shape and character were as solid, and made a short and mechanical sound.

"……what?"

Kunikida Doppo also stood by Edogawa Ranpo's side at some point.

Absolutely trusting Edogawa Ranpo's judgment, he lifted the state of alert, bent down, put coffee and hot tea at the hands of Chaldea and his party, and explained kindly.

"This famous detective, Edogawa Ranpo, is the top investigator of the detective agency. Mr. Ranpo's superpower is 'super reasoning', that is, after taking off his glasses, he can see through the truth in an instant— Miss Aoki."

Yayoi Aoki: ……………

Fujimaru Tachika: I'm sorry, I actually entered the scene of "Magical Boy Transformation" indiscriminately, so I withdraw my statement.

Just wanting to gossip with Da Vinci about the magic principle, Fujimaru Tateka hid in the small communicator behind her ear, but suddenly remembered Dr. Roman screaming like a strawberry cake when he was robbed.

"—Lixiang! Get out of there quickly! It has been detected that a heroic energy body is approaching! This time it is one!"

"Ishtar!"

Ishtar rose up in response, Tianzhou Maana condensed into shape, and the high-end dress on her body also instantly turned into fly ash, revealing the true goddess posture underneath, and entered the state of preparation for battle.

Fujimaru Tachika looked at Yayoi Aoki at the same time.

The lively, warm, and enthusiastic girlish expression on her face was faded at this moment, and replaced with a mature adult attitude that has been honed for a long time.

"Miss Yamit, prepare to fight! Please protect Kunikida-san and Ranpo-san!"

Yimulian held Yayoi Aoki's hand, and the wind around him was surging.

On the other side, the white dragon, who had been given the technique of concealment without any instructions, let out a long moan, and showed his original shape. He used his tail to roll the two melon eaters of the Armed Detective Agency into a corner, and then lined up with the amulet of wind, baring his teeth. Warn them not to move.

This time, Chang Kunikida was alone in a daze.

And Edogawa Ranpo still had an expression of "Wow, that's so interesting", and even wanted to touch the white dragon's tail—and was mercilessly slapped away.

"Huh? Can't you touch it? As the saying goes, 'You can't touch a tiger's tail', so can a dragon? Well, according to historical data, a dragon should have rabbit eyes, antlers, a bull's mouth, a camel's head, a mirage belly, a tiger's paw, and an eagle's claw. , fish scales, snake body, the image of nine animals combined into one... It seems to make sense..."

Then Ranpo Edogawa began to work seriously, and in the tense and tense atmosphere of the audience, he began to engage in fantasy reasoning on his own.

Kunikida Doppo: Mr. Ranpo? ? ? ? ? ? ?

King Lanling also appeared as a follower.

Perhaps due to the limited space, it was not suitable for riding and fighting, so he did not summon the white horse together.

King Lanling stood in front of Yayoi Aoki holding a sword, the light of the sword was cold and white, like the faint light of the moon hanging high at night, his back was as straight as a bamboo, and his figure was slender and thin, but no one would question him ability.

He adjusted his wrist and made an attacking gesture, and his voice was neutral, which could even be called "clear".

"...Master, please order."

But at this moment, Doctor Roman's hesitant voice sounded again.

"Wait! If this fluctuates—"

The sound of footsteps approached, like two people, getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door.

The door is opened.

The feather fan blocked King Lanling's long sword. The long-haired young man in a black suit, a red coat and a yellow scarf, after seeing Fujimaru Tachika and Ishtar, the vertical marks left between his brows frowned even deeper.

"Why are you two? When I see you, I always have the illusion that I'm going to stay up late and work overtime in the next second. Even the tip of my nose smells like espresso. It's really..."

Pressing down Fukuzawa Yukichi's hand holding the knife beside him, he rubbed his temples and explained half-complainingly.

"Master, don't worry, they are my former colleagues. They have no malicious intentions, and they probably came here to seek cooperation."

Fujimaru Tachika's expression froze in a funny look between "nervous" and "face full of question marks".

"—Teacher Kong??????"
