People are in Yokohama, the vest is fully open

Port Mafia, the tallest of five iconic buildings.

The elevator leading to the highest floor slowly ascended until it reached the highest floor where the chief's office was located.

"Ding dong." The elevator gave out a clear sound, and then the elevator door slowly opened to both sides, revealing Zhongya Zhongyuan who was stepping out of it.

"Central Plains cadres." When the guards on both sides of the leader's office saw that the person was Zhongyuan Zhongye, they bowed their heads respectfully and said hello: "The leader is waiting for you inside."

Nakahara Chuya was originally browsing the investigation reports on missing cases and mysterious ruins submitted by the black lizard in the past two days, but he was suddenly called to the office by Mori Ogai's order.

He pressed down on the brim of his hat, a little uncertain what the leader asked him to come up for now: "Yes."

The tall and gorgeous double doors were slowly pushed open in front of Zhongya Zhongyuan. Zhongya Zhongya regained his composure and walked into the leader's office.

As the door behind Nakahara Chuya slowly closed, the artificial lighting of the space force was also shut outside the door and disappeared.

The space on the top floor is very large, the afterglow of the evening is falling on the marble floor through the floor-to-ceiling glass at close range, and the golden sunset can be seen at a glance.

There are many messy dresses scattered on the exquisite marble floor. They look expensive, but they are thrown on the ground casually, like throwing away unnecessary waste paper.

The beautiful dress that obviously belonged to a seven or eight-year-old girl was randomly thrown on the floor in the office of the head of Mafia at the port, but Nakahara Nakata raised his legs and walked around the dress as if he was used to it. Go deeper into the top space.

"Alice~ Just try wearing this dress, okay—"

"I don't want to wear it! Lin Taro is a pervert!"

The decadent uncle's voice and the young girl's crisp voice overlapped and echoed in the empty space. The playful sounds of the decadent uncle in a white coat and the beautiful blonde girl not only did not make the place lively, but were also brought to life by the special environment. It seemed more and more quiet and weird.

'Tap, tap, tap'

The sound of footsteps from far to near successfully stopped the decadent uncle who was playing two roles in a dress-up game. The beautiful blonde girl Alice also looked at the visitor because Mori Ogai's attention was diverted. ——Only when she silently cast her gaze over and stared at her, would there be an inhuman coldness vaguely revealed.

Nakahara Chuya stopped under the double gaze of Mori Ogai and Alice: "BOSS..."

"Ah, Chuya-kun." Mori Ogai withdrew his gaze, and he refocused on how to get Alice to agree to change into the skirt in his hand: "How is the investigation of Watanabe-kun's disappearance going?" gone?"

Mr. Watanabe is the leader of the debt handler who disappeared not long ago.

"...The investigation is still ongoing, and now we have some clues, and it can basically be ruled out that it is the handwriting of hostile forces..." Zhong Yuanzhong also briefly reported the results of his investigations these days to Mori Ogai stated.

"Well... it's good if you have an idea." Mori Ogai didn't express his opinion after listening to it. He just said in the middle of the Central Plains that he would end the investigation in the near future: "Don't let the next cadre A appear again."

The next cadre A——?

Nakahara Nakaya was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't realize what Mori Ogai meant, and then he thought of a possibility, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked in a slightly dry voice: "Officer A.. ...is missing too?"

"Well, just a few hours ago, I received his disappearance report." Mori Ogai said flatly: "His disappearance is almost exactly the same as Watanabe-kun who disappeared from the world, and the only keyword he knows is clown."

"So, Nakaya-kun..." Mori Ogai didn't look up, he stretched out his hand to smooth the folds of the foreign skirt in his hand: "Almost, it's time to end this farce."

The disappearance of cadre A was completely unexpected by Zhong Yuanzhong.

Zhong Yuanzhong also remembered Hoshino Yuu's warning that "the time has not come" not long ago, he clenched his hand tightly and then quickly let go, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I understand, BOSS."

Maybe, he needs to contact that strange Edogawa Ranpo again.

......

......

Although I don't know what happened, when Nakajima Atsushi handed the wave soda to the two Edogawa Ranpo, the two Edogawa Ranpo seemed to have reconciled.

The office of the Armed Detective Agency has been lightly decorated, including a lot of decorations that were used at the welcome party for Izumi Kyoka last time.

In the Armed Detective Agency, except for Kunikida Doppo who goes to teach at the school, everyone else basically stays in the detective agency.

In fact, no one is not curious about 'the other Mr. Ranpo in the world'.

However, because Tanizaki Naomi, Izumi Kyoka, and Yosano Akiko were still busy in the kitchen at this time, when Hoshino Yu entered the Armed Detective Agency, he only saw Naka who was partnering with "The Rabid Dog That Doesn't Bark" Atsushi Shima and Junichiro Tanizaki are just that.

As for Osamu Dazai... he doesn't know where he went.

Hoshino Yuu had never been to the Armed Forces Office, but he had seen relevant materials and photos inside the office.When he entered the door, he took everything into his eyes calmly, secretly comparing the subtle differences between the two worlds.

really......

Doesn't Akutagawa Ryunosuke here belong to the Armed Detective Agency?

"Mr. Ranpo—you, the soda you want."

"Ah, it's really slow, Dun-jun."

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Ranpo," Atsushi Nakajima explained nervously, "The president saw that you drank too much soda, so he put away the rest, so—"

Edogawa ranpo took the soda in Atsushi Nakajima's hand, and handed a bottle to another self: "This bottle is for you."

Edogawa Ranpo did not let Hoshino Yu stay in the office area where the meals were still being served, but took him to the reception room on the other side of the corridor.

Although Edogawa Ranpo wanted to pull Hoshino Yuu to sit with him, but Hoshino Yuu in bear pajamas was not as soft as the bear on his pajamas. After being dragged by Edogawa Ranpo to sit down , bounced up and went to the sofa next door to sit down.

It seems that in this way he can be less affected by the 'ranpo energy' from Edogawa Ranpo.

Facing the unstoppable Edogawa Ranpo, Hoshino Yuu seemed to have completely forgotten that he should have more contact with Edogawa Ranpo now to absorb energy.

Hoshino Yu looked at the relieved Atsushi Nakajima thoughtfully, the soda that Tiger brought him...

Hmm...in the past, this kind of thing was left to Chuya to do.

But in the past, he would help him unscrew the cover directly, which made Hoshino Yuu lose the experience of pressing marbles at the beginning for a long time.

Hoshino Yu tore off the plastic film, he pressed the bottle cap half unfamiliar and half skillfully, and the round marble fell into the soda with a 'poof' sound.

After waiting for a while, Hoshino Yuu saw that the carbon dioxide gas had stabilized, so he unscrewed the cap of the bottle with a 'squeak', and took a sip with his face upturned.

The taste of the bubbles and the slightly sour lemon sweetness hit Hoshino's taste buds, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes in satisfaction: "Well, it's so good——"

"Ha——it's delicious~~" Edogawa Ranpo's contented sigh in his ear made Hoshino Yuu almost think that he had accidentally said what was in his heart. In the glass bottle of soda in his hand, the transparent The marble rolled slightly.

But soon, Hoshino Yu discovered that the source of the sound was not him, but Edogawa Ranpo who was paralyzed on the sofa like a liquefied cat.

If Edogawa Ranpo is currently making a swivel chair, Hoshino Yu has no doubt that he has already kicked the ground and started "hoo~hoo~" circles.

Hoshino Yuu sneered, heh, childish ghost.

Like every squinting skill, although Edogawa Ranpo squinted happily, he still caught Hoshino Yuu's gaze on his face without any hindrance.

He looked lazily at another adult Ranbu who was visibly happy, and asked, "Is the wave soda super delicious!"

"...Ranpo-sama thinks it's just barely enough."

Hearing Hoshino Yuu's answer, Edogawa Ranpo snorted, and said leisurely, "Hmph, coward."

"Huh?" Hoshino Yu opened half of his emerald green eyes dangerously and looked at Edogawa Ranpo who seemed to be silent at all: "What did you just... say?"

Atsushi Nakajima has always regarded himself as air, watching the interaction between the two Edogawa Ranpo curiously, but now he can't pretend that he doesn't exist.

"That..." Atsushi Nakajima's forehead dripped with sweat, he looked left and right: "Don't quarrel, Mr. Ranpo and... Ranpo gentlemen."

Although he is lazy on weekdays, Mr. Edogawa Ranpo, who is more oppressive when he is serious, is scary enough... But now why does it seem that another Mr. Ranpo is more powerful than the detective agency? Mr. Ranpo is even more terrifying?

It's almost like Akutagawa from Mafia at the port when he was praised by Mr. Dazai...

And the two Mr. Ranpo quarreled... The little tiger Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help but shudder: Isn't this as terrible as the world is going to be destroyed?

Edogawa Ranpo drank a big gulp of wave soda again: "Master Ranpo said..."

"Mr. Ranpo... that—"

Edogawa Ranpo obediently repeated what he had just said loudly, completely ignoring Atsushi Nakajima, who was already thinking about whether it would be better for him to run away.

"You're a coward—"

'Don't add fuel to the fire, Mr. Ranpo! Atsushi Nakajima's pupil quake: "Didn't you see that the eyes of the other Mr. Ranpo are all open!"Hello! '

"You really said that..." Hoshino Yu pinched the mouth of the soda bottle with two fingers and shook it slightly, and the marbles in the bottle were rolling because of his movements: " Childish."

"Hiss—it's really noisy..." Nakajima Atsushi took a breath, hesitated for a while, and saw that the two Edogawa Ranpo didn't notice him, so he quietly exited the reception room, I plan to go to the president's desk to find the president to move the rescuers.

If there is anyone in this world who can make Mr. Ranpo obedient, then only... the president!

"I like it but say I don't like it. Isn't it a coward?" Edogawa Ranpo told Hoshino Yu that he was a "childish ghost" and accepted it without any obstacles. He drank his soda and said, "This is nothing It doesn't look like Master Ranpo, what exactly has Uncle Black Heart instilled in you."

Hoshino Yuu frowned and was about to refute, but was interrupted by Edogawa Ranpo.

"I like bozi soda but say 'so-so', I want to eat thick snacks but say 'I don't like', I like Mr. Ranbu, but-"

"Master Ranpo has no duplicity!" Hoshino Yu couldn't listen anymore, and retorted: "I haven't eaten thick snacks or drank wave soda for a long, long time, so Lord Ranpo doesn't like these things at all."

"And, as I said, if there is nothing wrong, you and the other members of the Armed Detective Agency should not bother me and Yuu." Hoshino Yuu looked at Edogawa Ranpo who had begun to show signs of anger with a cold face and did not show any weakness: "So, I don't have... nor do I have a good opinion of anyone in the Armed Detective Agency, including you."

"You are a big idiot—!" Edogawa Ranpo was pissed off by the stubbornness of the other self as an ostrich, and he couldn't understand why the other self would be so awkwardly duplicity: "What you said doesn't mean anything at all, You pretend to push it away even though you really like it in your heart, you are a coward——!"

"Ranpo!" Just when Edogawa Ranpo was about to say something excitedly, and Hoshino Yuu was about to retort, a majestic scolding sound made the two Edogawa Ranpo who were arguing like elementary school chickens stop in unison He got down and looked towards the door of the reception room.

The silver wolf swordsman in traditional attire was holding the doorknob of the reception room with one hand, standing at the door with a serious expression.

Fukuzawa Yukichi stepped on clogs and walked in front of Hoshino Yuu and Edogawa Ranpo who had stopped arguing. He first nodded slightly at the vigilant Hoshino Yuu, and then looked at Edogawa who was turning his head away to look at him. Random steps.

"Ranbu..." This time, Fukuzawa Yukichi's voice was a little helpless and comforting: "Calm down."

From the moment Fukuzawa Yukichi's figure appeared in the reception room, Hoshino Yuu never took his eyes off him, and his body tensed unconsciously, as if he was arching slightly unconsciously Ridge is wary of cats where the battle begins.

Fukuzawa Yukichi...

The... rival leader he nearly killed once.

Whether it's due to nature or because of Mori Ogai's meticulous teachings over the years, Hoshino Yuu certainly doesn't feel any guilt at this time because he almost assassinated Fukuzawa Yukichi himself because of the co-phagia virus.

Not to mention that Mafia, the port itself, and the Armed Forces Office are in a state of hostility......

At that time, Mori Ogai was in critical condition because he was suffering from the virus.

He was so urgent that he put himself, who had never played in person, in the chess game of fighting against the armed forces: using Chuya, Kajii Keijiro and others under the command of Port Mafia as a cover, he took a slanted sword with this ultimate move.

Therefore, Hoshino Yuu naturally wouldn't feel guilty about facing Fukuzawa Yukichi who almost died under his hands because of this - if it wasn't for Dazai Osamu who was seriously injured at the last moment and came up with a solution that was enough to convince him …

The silver wolf swordsman in that world is about to become a criminal consultant who seldom kills himself, a rare ghost under his command.

But if you ask Mr. crime consultant at Port Mafia hate Fukuzawa Yukichi?

He will most likely answer you nonchalantly with a piece of bread biting, 'I guess not. '

As an opponent of the Armed Firm, Mr. Consultant spends most of his time hidden behind the scenes.

Only after the blood that blooms in the middle of the night, and the murderous intent that cannot be traced after the death of life, can we faintly see the outline of the mysterious criminal master.

Therefore, it can be said that the number of times Mr. Consultant and Fukuzawa Yukichi met is very few.

On the contrary, it belongs to Fukuzawa Yukichi's Dazai Osamu, who obviously has everything but is still moaning without illness. After dealing with him a few times, either indirectly or directly, the consultant really hates him.

Osamu Dazai's disgusting attitude may be one of the reasons, but it is not the main reason...

"Master Ranpo is angry!" Edogawa Ranpo's voice interrupted Hoshino Yuu's thoughts, and when he looked up, he found that the naive detective who was trying to get close to him just now ran to the door at some point side.

Seeing Hoshino Yuu looking up at him, Edogawa pouted and made a face at him, then ran away.

"Wait a minute—" Hoshino Yuu watched Edogawa's fluttering little cloak disappear from his sight, "what's the situation, did he just throw himself here to face Fukuzawa Yukichi alone?" !'

If it is said that when Edogawa Ranpo was still there before, Hoshino Yuu was only a little nervous and wary when facing Fukuzawa Yukichi who suddenly appeared, then at this time, when he was tense and face to face with Fukuzawa Yukichi, He is as vigilant as a cat with its fur fried.

Just when Hoshino Yuu was holding his breath and thinking about how to get out now, he heard Fukuzawa Yukichi suddenly say: "I heard Ranpo say..."

Fukuzawa Yukichi chose a very delicate seat and sat down.

Fukuzawa Yukichi sat on a two-seater sofa at a [-]-degree angle to Hoshino Yuu's one-seater sofa, which was different from face-to-face or diagonal orientations, which suddenly shortened the distance between the two people ——Of course, for Hoshino Yu, this is just a bad choice that will make his nerves more and more tense.

But Fukuzawa Yukichi chose to sit at the end slightly away from Hoshino Yuu, and the space left in the middle subtly neutralized the sense of urgency brought about by the closeness of the azimuth.

Just when Hoshino Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief because of Fukuzawa Yukichi's choice, he heard the silver wolf swordsman who seemed not angry and proud continue to say: "...you are from Ranpo from another world?"

"Ranpo said you should know me...?" Fukuzawa Yukichi hesitated for a moment, he met Hoshino Yuu's guarded eyes, and tried to add a self-introduction gently: "But out of politeness, I I think it would be better for me to introduce myself again.”

"... Fukuzawa Yukichi, he is now the president of this detective agency."

It can be seen that Fukuzawa Yukichi wants to try his best to be gentle and kind, but judging from the momentum around him that has not diminished but increased, his efforts are obviously like every time he tries to take out small dried fish and feed it to The little stray cat on the side of the road was the same - a total failure.

However, the consultant who had studied Fukuzawa Yukichi as an opponent was keenly aware of the intimacy that Fukuzawa Yukichi vaguely revealed under Fukuzawa Yukichi's stiff appearance.

Is it because...he has exactly the same face as Ranpo Edogawa in this world?

Or is it because he is... Edogawa Ranpo?

Facing Fukuzawa Mikichi's gentle gaze, which was obviously different from the past, Hoshino Yuu reluctantly nodded and said, "... hello."

Fukuzawa Yukichi... Hoshino Yuu doesn't hate him in another world, but he definitely doesn't like him.

The criminal consultant of the port Mafia didn't like this silver wolf swordsman who always insisted inexplicably where it was not necessary.

The relationship between Port Mafia and the Armed Forces Office is very delicate. Sometimes they are enemies, but sometimes they can become partners for Yokohama.

In the rare and almost non-existent communication—all relying on the subtle tacit cooperation between Mr. Mafia, a criminal consultant at the port, and Osamu Dazai, an armed firm, the decision of Mr. Mr. Fukuzawa was fiercely countered by Yukichi Fukuzawa once.

The consultant doesn't like to add unnecessary troubles to himself, or to some extent he agrees with Mori Ogai's optimal solution - why waste a lot of energy on things that can be done with half the energy?

However, during the battle to invade Yokohama, Yukichi Fukuzawa, the director of the Armed Forces Office, simply did not consider the casualties of ordinary people in the counterattack plan planned by Yu Hoshino...

He would rather risk deviating from the cooperation plan in such a way as to arouse the hostility of Port Mafia at the same time, so that the advisor would eventually have to choose a more troublesome, energy-consuming but completely unnecessary plan.

Seeing that Fukuzawa Yukichi seemed to have the empathy effect of "he is also a random step" towards him, Hoshino Yu had no choice but to add and emphasize: "I know what you are thinking, uncle, but—I know you There is nothing similar to that Edogawa Ranpo..."

"Or, let's say, we are two completely different people."
