Another World Bookstore in Yokohama

Chapter 72

In the evening, everyone in the detective agency was taken out by Edogawa Ranpo.

Now everyone follows Luanbu and stops and stops in the street without knowing the direction.

"Mr. Ranpo, where are you going?" Miyazawa Kenji who was following behind asked.

"It's coming soon, don't worry~"

"About ten meters away."

"Oh...."

The boy responded cooperatively, and then quietly followed.

"Da da da"

Footsteps sounded continuously.

Kunikida Doppo couldn't help swallowing, "How do you feel, a little nervous?"

"Is it the atmosphere? Mr. Ranpo hasn't spoken yet." Yosano Akiko said.

"Hey, it's true." The man said belatedly.

"..."

Edogawa's random footsteps stopped.

"By the way, the ten meters should be reached by now, right? Why haven't you?"

----

A hand sticks out from around the corner.

Then came out a golden man, looked at the crowd as if surprised, but returned to a faint smile after a moment.

"Good evening everyone." The man said with a smile.

But Edogawa Ranpo instinctively felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as the closest personal experience to Ayatsuji pedestrians.

He felt the man glance at him casually.

And that feeling is really very scalp numb.

But it seems not?This person has been talking in the direction of looking at them as a whole.

"Pedestrian Ayatsuji..." The people behind murmured in a low voice.

The man blinked and looked at Edogawa Ranpo, "I don't seem to be very welcome here?"

Everyone's eyes followed Ayatsuji's eyes to Edogawa Ranpo.

"..."

"What is this?" Edogawa yelled in a low voice.

The hand hanging beside her trembled for a moment, then gently closed her fingers together, and finally clenched them tightly.

How did it suddenly become like this...

It's just a meeting, and there is no contradiction.

Why are you arguing like this?

Edogawa Ranpo pursed his mouth slightly, frowned slightly, immersed in his own small world and was extremely distressed.

And in the meantime, he heard a shallow sigh coming from his ear.

"Mr. Ranbu and I are going to make an appointment to discuss a case, and we have agreed to have a meal together, and then go to other places to talk about those things after the meal."

"Maybe he thought the one I recommended would be delicious, so he brought you here. However, it seems that he didn't explain it to you in advance?" Ayatsuji pedestrian said lightly.

After a pause, the man continued: "It's almost time for dinner, shall we go?"

"That's fine, it's just for eating." Tanizaki Naomi tilted her head and said.

"Yeah, it's true, Mr. Ranpo," Yosano Akiko sighed, "It would have been nice to have said that earlier, and to be so frightened."

"Sure enough to scare." Kunikida Doppo echoed.

The atmosphere immediately calmed down.

The gentle atmosphere is relaxing and easy to get comfortable.From Edogawa Ranpo's point of view, most of the people had a slight smile on their faces, and the original cold expression eased a little last time.And that's it, let the boy relax, and start to find some ways to relieve his nervousness just now

So he jumped out of his pocket and said: "I'm not wrong~ In fact, it's obvious that you often think about it, and Mr. Ranpo is considering many aspects!"

Even if there is no reason, I have to force myself to find a reason, and I quickly convinced myself.

However, although the words were arrogant, the tone seemed to be coquettish, and everyone responded with a laugh.

"Ha," Ayatsuji Pedestrian smiled, and patted the boy on the shoulder, "Okay, don't make trouble, it's time to eat now."

"Hmm..." Edogawa Ranpo scratched his head in embarrassment, and pursed his mouth tightly.

This man is definitely implying something!

Then he quickly regained his spirits, and he laughed and said, "So where are you going?"

Ayatsuji pedestrian stroked his chin and thought for a while, then pondered for a moment and said, "It seems to be called Xinghei Cafeteria."

"I seem to have heard of this name before." Kunikida Doppo beside him frowned and thought.

"It was the time when Jinghua Jiang went to find Dunjun." Yosano Akiko received it, and Izumi Jinghua who was standing next to her grabbed the corner of her blouse.

"Then I'm going to eat there today~" Edogawa Ranpo shouted happily.

...

So, after that, they went to that canteen together and had an extremely delicious meal, and created an extremely good amount of success for Xingping canteen.

In addition, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

**

"It's calm now." Ayatsuji pedestrian sighed.

Then he glanced at Ranpo Edogawa who was still immersed in the delicious dishes just now, making the latter stunned suddenly.

They are sitting in a coffee shop now.

Edogawa Ranpo put his hands in his hands at a loss, his eyes drifted wildly, and inadvertently met the man's eyes, and he lowered his head suddenly.

"So, why did you call so many people?" Ayatsuji pedestrian asked.

"I don't remember inviting so many people."

Edogawa pursed his lips, "I, I thought you wanted to have a party..."

"And that's why you brought those people here?"

"..." The boy bowed his head and remained silent.

Ayatsuji pedestrian blinked, and pushed the milk tea cup in the middle of the table in front of Edogawa Ranpo.

Edogawa looked at the other party in disorder, opened his mouth slightly, but then got stuck without knowing what to say, and finally put his mouth on the straw of the milk tea at hand.

A sip of delicious and mellow milk tea entered my abdomen, and the warm feeling dispelled a little tension.

"...it's fun to have everyone together~" he said in a muffled voice.

"Don't do this in the future."

"...No way."

There was a slight smile on Ayatsuji pedestrian's indifferent face, and the coldness in his eyes also lost a little bit of coldness. He looked at Edogawa Ranpo and said, "It's not that there are no parties, but."

Edogawa Ranpo, who was holding a cup and drinking milk tea, his eyes lit up, "But!"

"It can only be regarded as a private party, and it can't entertain many people."

"Of course, two people are enough, the two of us."

"Hoho~"

However, Ayatsuji pedestrians suddenly changed the subject: "It's like a girlfriend who goes shopping but the other party brings a group of people together, a couple's candlelight dinner party brings a brother together, and when the teacher and the student are talking about their old relationship, the apprentice brings the boss over for drinks. friendship."

"So, Ranpo, do you know how bad you are doing?"

Edogawa Ranpo: ...Please stop talking about this.

"I'm sorry..." the boy whispered, his voice was like a mosquito.

Another sip of fragrant milk tea.

"Where is that party?" Edogawa Ranpo asked, trying to change the subject.

"my home."

Ayatsuji pedestrian said lightly.

"Boom—" is the sound of fingernails hitting the table suddenly.

Edogawa Ranpo directly froze his fingers, or his whole body froze, only his eyes were still blinking in a daze.

His ears seem to be hallucinating?

"What are you thinking about?" Ayatsuji pedestrian said in a calm voice.

Then something suddenly hit Edogawa Ranpo's forehead, and fell on the table with a "crack".

The boy was brought back to his senses, and after blinking his eyes in a daze, he looked down.

-bean shape, light pink.

Edogawa picked it up randomly, opened his eyes and looked at it in front of him.

what is this?

The epidermis is hard and crystal clear, and under the illumination of the light, it still reflects some light spots, which looks like...

"It's jelly beans, just eat them. I took them when I left the room."

"Ah." I obediently stuffed it in.

Then his eyes lit up.

"So sweet!"

After the sweet icing passes, it becomes a slightly sour fudge. The jelly juice melts in the mouth when chewing, and turns into a delicious sour and sweet strawberry taste. After swallowing, the mouth is still full of sweet and sour breath.

"Is there any more!"

"want to?"

Edogawa Ranpo's eyelids twitched, he knew that this man was going to play that trick again.Really angry!

"No? Didn't you just say something—"

Look, look, look it's fishing!

And he really wants to bite the bait...

In the "home" of Ayatsuji pedestrians, after eating and drinking.

"It's not a big deal."

Edogawa ranpo pursed his mouth: Do you think I will believe it?

He is now spread out on the sofa.

"I'm going back to the Ability Special Affairs Section in a while, so I still need you to contact me if I need this situation in the future." Ayatsuji pedestrians continued.

The room suddenly fell silent, and the candy that Edogawa Ranpo put on his mouth with his fingers fell into his mouth inadvertently.

The sugar coating melted in the mouth, and it was only after feeling the sweetness that he came back to his senses, Edogawa Ranbu took a few breaths, and said, "That's right, it's been a few days now, it's time to go back."

"Of course I will also help to contact you, if necessary."

Ayatsuji Xingren suddenly covered his mouth and let out a chuckle, which made Edogawa Ranpo a little annoyed.

"Ask me why I'm laughing?"

All of a sudden I was blocked.

Ayatsuji pedestrian continued: "Why did I say it now? Of course it is,"

"I want to see you pretending to be calm despite being extremely uncomfortable."

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes widened.

"Look, how fun (to play) and how cute." Ayatsuji pedestrian smiled slightly, then looked at the expression on the other person's face that was about to explode in a second, blinked his eyes, and then lost his mind at the other person When it was time, he picked up a small light yellow macaron on the table and stuffed it into the boy's mouth.

"Don't be angry, for the sake of me preparing these delicacies?"

"How could Lord Ranbu forgive you so easily!" While eating and sobbing, the boy still had an unhappy look on his face.

Obviously not satisfied with the man's behavior.

However, although the words were vague, Ayatsuji pedestrians could hear clearly.

But what he should do at this time is not to meet the other party's more expectations, or to show more of his abilities.

This may make the other party have an unwarranted expectation of him, which is unnecessary and very dangerous.After all, he can't do everything well, but after assuming this expectation, if he makes any stupid mistakes in the future, the other party's favorability for him will be greatly reduced.

So sometimes, it is still necessary to make a lower posture appropriately.

------

"Ranbu-kun, why aren't you sleeping now~"

"Why do you have to sleep? Master Ranpo is not sleepy, don't worry Miss Haruno, and tell the president not to worry about me." Edogawa Ranpo said without turning his head.

The person who came was Kirako Haruno, the secretary of Yukichi Fukuzawa, the president of the Armed Detective Agency. Recently, he made a special trip home because he wanted to go back to his hometown to cancel the marriage contract made by his parents.

But the troubles involved were beyond her imagination, so that she consumed a lot of time and energy, and in the end it took her several days to come back.

"But the president asked you to go to bed now."

"If I really want to sleep, I will go to sleep obediently, but no, I am just a little sleepy. Although my eyelids are drooping a little, I know that I don't want to sleep. Even if it seems like my body It seems to be warning me, but in fact it's just that the fixed biological clock has been broken." Edogawa chattered out in a chaotic pace.

Haruno Kirako slipped for a moment.

"Ranbu-kun, you are extremely excited today."

"Of course!" The boy lying on the table rolled around on the tatami with his mobile phone in his arms.

"...can that tell me what happened?"

"Secret~"

——But no matter what, Edogawa Ranpo was tucked into the bed and fell asleep in the end.

And slept soundly.

The author has something to say: Ranpo and Ayatsuji are good friends~

Now it is Ayatsuji's unilateral operation. For him, there is some friendship, but more use. (Having a good relationship helps a lot) But here is a not-so-good method, and it is easy to get yourself involved. (But it doesn't matter if you take Ayatsuji in)

Luanbu was gradually driven, there were not so many twists and turns in his heart, it was just a simple process of making friends.

In the later stage, Ayatsuji will not make special use of chaos, and more often it will help and rescue in the opposite direction.Let's keep growing up happily!
