People are in Yokohama, the vest is fully open

The question in Edogawa Ranpo's mind was answered when he looked at Hoshino Yuu: It's Ranpo-sama...another Ranpo-sama?

There seems to be an illusory barrier in the dark, which is torn and pierced at this moment.

Edogawa Ranpo's heartbeat seemed to stall, beating non-stop.Even when Fukuzawa Yukichi said that he could get double snacks, Ranpo Edogawa never felt so excited.

Although I don't know what's going on, how ridiculous it is for another self to appear in the world...

But Edogawa Ranpo was overjoyed by the fact that he was inexplicably sure-another Edogawa Ranpo appeared in front of him.

Another one must be of the same kind with whom he absolutely fits and understands completely.

Mr. Detective, who was out of tune with the world because of his extraordinary talent, could only barely find resonance in the Armed Detective Agency, his chest tightened for a while, and he even had a lot of shortness of breath.

Before he had time to rejoice, a strange emotion that didn't belong to him suddenly occupied Edogawa Ranpo's heart: astonishment, resistance, subtle envy and almost imperceptible intimacy all flooded Edogawa Ranpo's heart, he He couldn't help curling his fingers.

What is the situation...?

Edogawa Ranbu unconsciously clutched his chest, where the emotions that clearly did not belong to him were clearly and violently haunting his body.

The world's number one detective felt a sense of confusion for a long time, and for a moment he seemed to be in the confusion and bewilderment of being abandoned in a strange world by the death of his parents.

Another Edogawa Ranpo...why doesn't he seem happy to see himself?

Like a domestic cat wagging the tip of its tail and trying to jump off the cat climbing frame to find a stray cat passing by, but got its paw scratched, Edogawa Ranpo puffed up his cheeks unconsciously: it is Ranpo If you are an adult, you will definitely like Ranpo-sama!

"Why do you hate me!" Edogawa Ranpo never suppressed his emotions, he asked his other self outside the glass angrily, stood up "teng" and wanted to go to Hoshino Yuu Ask to understand.

However, I don't know if it was because he sneaked snacks in the middle of the night last night and didn't sleep well, Edogawa Ranpo's eyes darkened slightly, and the moment he stood up suddenly, he almost fell over.

"Mr. Ranpo?!" Tanizaki Junichiro was communicating with the tailor and the delivery address. He was taken aback by Edogawa Ranpo's sudden question. He almost fell when he turned around. Ranpo Edogawa kept his balance while looking at the mirror.

"What happened, Mr. Ranpo—?"

However, before Tanizaki Junichiro figured out what happened, Edogawa Ranpo, who had always been calm, rushed towards the clothing store with a bit of panic and nervousness.

"Wait a minute!.......Where are you going, Mr. Ranpo!!" Tanizaki Junichiro was still holding a large pile of thick dim sum and hamburgers that Edogawa Ranpo ordered him to buy just now. , he wanted to chase him out, but he hesitated to leave under the vigilant eyes of the store owner because he hadn't paid yet.

The shop owner didn't give Tanizaki Junichiro time to react. He grabbed Tanizaki Junichiro's wrist while he was hesitating, smiled and said politely: "Sir, you haven't paid yet."

"Ahahaha... I almost forgot." Junichiro Tanizaki, who was thrown down by Ranpo Edogawa, fished out his wallet in embarrassment.

......

......

This is—that Edogawa Ranpo from the Armed Detective Agency?

When Hoshino Yuu realized this possibility, he felt inexplicable panic subconsciously.

Even Hoshino Yuu, he didn't even know what he was nervous about - not long ago, Hoshino Yuu calmly invited Mr. Detective in front of him to share dessert.

But equipped with a character card belonging to the world's number one criminal consultant, when Yu Hoshino stood in front of the detective again, he could no longer be as calm and calm as before.

.......

.......

Edogawa Ranpo and Edogawa Ranpo are different, the difference between them is as different as the armed detective agency and port Mafia to which the world's number one detective and the world's number one criminal master belong.

Mr. Detective is like the protagonist in the boy manga who has gone through ups and downs but still retains the heart of a child. He will be surrounded by his peers and elders, and finally move forward with love and flowers all the way. Although he is arrogant, he is not alone.

The shiny things on Edogawa Ranpo are well protected. Although he is still willful, after experiencing the hardships of life, he has reached a reconciliation with this complicated world in his own way.

The core of the Armed Detective Agency - Ranpo Edogawa is the most powerful detective in the world. The child who was confused and unable to understand the world finally turned into a dazzling diamond.

His body seems to be naturally full of dazzling vigor and absolute self-confidence. Even though he is always childish, he still makes people admire him.

But after escaping from the laboratory, Edogawa Ranpo, who was adopted by Mori Ogai, is a completely different person.

Unlike Fukuzawa Yukichi's white lies, Mori Ogai has never bothered to whitewash peace with lies.

Facing the immature Edogawa Ranpo who possesses extraordinary potential, Mori Ogai sat at the end of the long table, condescendingly staring at his only disciple with some admiration: "You are different from all living beings... ...the most unique existence, Ranpo-kun."

Looking at Edogawa Ranpo, who was only a cadre replacement, Mori Ogai watched his bewildered expression, sighed with pity and judgment, and told him the truth of this world, and the only thing that Edogawa Ranpo believed in. truth.

——"All living beings are nothing but dust and rubble, and you are a brilliant diamond covered in dust unintentionally. You never need to be like them."

You are not the same as human beings, you don't have to understand them, you don't have to ask, you don't have to pray, Mori Ogai said.

The child named Edogawa Ranpo is the child who is closest to the gods, and he is different from everyone.

A lone genius who stands above all others, with whom no one can relate, and with whom he should never need anyone.

He is doomed to be alone.

Mori Ogai said that Edogawa Ranpo is not a supernatural being, but he is more amazing than everyone in the world.

The so-called supernatural powers are nothing but supernatural powers that are luckily possessed by ordinary people.

Mr. Consultant, who has killed countless supernatural beings on the chessboard, has understood such a thing since that day.

Whether it is a superhuman or an ordinary person, as long as he becomes his opponent, there will be no difference in the outcome.

——As long as Edogawa Ranpo thinks about it, he has the ability to kill anyone.

Edogawa Ranpo is a criminal master who can see through all the mysteries in the world and set up unsolvable tricks with ease.

.......

.......

In the window, Edogawa Ranbu's face was full of joy and surprise, as if he was about to rush out of the door and throw himself into his arms.

Hoshino Yu flicked the crystal green marble in his pocket, and his heart was mixed.

detective.......

Hoshino Yuu lowered his eyes, he didn't see the smile that suddenly disappeared on Edogawa Ranpo's face, he paused, turned his feet and chose to leave directly.

Just as Edogawa Ranpo pushed open the door, before he had time to jump down the steps, he saw Edogawa Ranpo who was dressed in black, with messy black hair pressed under the hat, and wanted to turn around and leave without looking back: "You --Wait a moment!!"

Hoshino Yuu heard the sound of Edogawa's random steps, and he couldn't help but pause.

Edogawa Ranpo saw another self cast a heavy glance at him with his emerald-like gloomy and beautiful pupils, then turned and walked away into the crowded crowd.

Edogawa Ranpo was nailed in place by Hoshino Yuu's gaze, he thought blankly about the expression of his other self just now: it was emotionless and at the same time seemed to have a little bit of disgust, it was almost as if he was It looks like a domestic cat that is not cute but clingy.

Tanizaki Junichiro hurriedly opened the store door, and saw Edogawa Ranpo standing not far from the store door.

Why does Mr. Ranpo look a bit out of his wits...... Junichiro Tanizaki suppressed the idea as soon as he came up, it must be an illusion, how could Mr. Ranpo, who bought a lot of snacks, have this emotion.

"Mr. Ranpo, what happened?"

The questioning sound in the ear recalled Edogawa Ranpo's thoughts, and at this time Hoshino Yuu had completely disappeared in the crowd.

Searching to no avail, Edogawa Ranpo put his hands on the black-rimmed glasses in his pocket, but didn't take them out directly.

He glanced at the worried Tanizaki Junichiro half a beat later, and asked thoughtfully, "Tanizaki...do you know..."

Tanizaki Junichiro looked suspiciously at Edogawa Ranpo who seemed to be struggling with something: "Ranpo-san?"

"Well, if your brother—" Edogawa Ranpo hesitated for a moment, then changed his words: "Naomi, what does it mean if Naomi suddenly ignores you?"

"Hey, Naomi?"

Seeing that Edogawa Ranpo was waiting for his answer attentively, with a solemn expression as if he was unpacking a snack bag, Tanizaki Junichiro couldn't help becoming serious, he thought for a moment, and replied: "Then... She must be waiting for me to coax her, right?"

"Coax her?" Mr. Detective asked in confirmation.

"Yeah," Tanizaki Junichiro scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Because we have a very good relationship and won't quarrel at all, so Naomi suddenly ignored my words—the only possibility is that she was acting like a baby."

Edogawa Ranpo nodded approvingly, Ranpo-sama must not hate Ranpo-sama, so—is the other self acting like a baby?

He acted like a baby when we met for the first time... He proudly raised his smiling face, as expected of Ranpo-sama!

Therefore, the next step is to satisfy another mood of playing hide-and-seek. Edogawa Ranpo put on his glasses happily, and his eyes fell on the direction where Hoshino Yuu disappeared: "Super reasoning!"
