People are in Yokohama, the vest is fully open

Sensing Edogawa Ranpo's annoyed and probing eyes, Hoshino Yuu gave him a friendly smile. He raised the snack in his hand and asked, "Would you like to eat together?"

Edogawa Ranbu's squinted eyes suddenly opened, the end of his eyes were raised up, the gem-like emerald eyes were shining but with amazing insight, people feel that even if they are just being watched like this, all There is no hiding the secret.

When this boyish young man with messy black hair who looked a little strange opened his eyes, he somehow possessed such a daunting power.

The moment the image is reflected on the retina, it is analyzed by Ranpo Edogawa into a messy and specific flow of information.

Young - paper bags, sticky notes in hand - many dessert shops - recommended by someone - this voice... - is the new neighbor downstairs.

Edogawa Ranpo could tell at a glance that this red-eyed young man didn't like desserts at all—but he obviously lived alone...

Very strange.

The traces on Hoshino Yuu's body are as messy as everyone Edogawa Ranpo has ever seen, but he is different from others.

——like a shirt that has not been ironed properly, there are always inexplicable wrinkles that cannot be smoothed out smoothly.

The traces of life left on him are endless, like the ends of a thread that has been cut, and the original ball of wool cannot be found at all.

Hoshino Yuu had all the traces that should have been on his body, but there were nothing.

This guy is so weird.

——In other words, moving alone to the downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency and running a bookstore with no market at all is strange enough in itself...

It's like installing a supercomputer in the brain - for Ranpo Edogawa, the splitting of images into clues and then sorting and integrating them only happened in an instant.

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes lingered on the smiling Hoshino Yuu for a second, then he closed his eyes again, pretending to sigh deeply: "Sure enough, it's up to Ranpo-sama... .”

Hoshino Yu only saw Edogawa Ranpo's jewel-colored eyes open and close, and the squinted black-haired young man enthusiastically agreed to his proposal——Mr. Detective in brown detective uniform cheered childishly: "Okay!"

......

......

Getting along with Edogawa Ranpo was more enjoyable than Hoshino Yuu imagined - Hoshino Yuu had met many "protagonists" and dealt with many of them.

The protagonists always have such shining points, but not every protagonist is pleasant to get along with.

Compared with the protagonists who used to be eccentric and cruel, Edogawa Ranpo, who is just a little bit childish, although he acts a bit self-consciously - but as long as he is treated as a child, it is unexpectedly pleasant to get along with.

As for children's occasional insults and unknowing speeches?

The experienced Hoshino Yuu didn't take it to heart at all, he smiled and proficiently found a reasonable reason for Edogawa Ranpo-'ah, the child's frankness is so cute'-then he happily forgot about it back.

……

……

The new neighbor's name is Hoshino Yuu.

Edogawa ranpo bit the delicious stick that Yu Hoshino stuffed him like dried fish for a stray cat, he thought slowly.

— is a super weird person.

After hearing that Edogawa Ranpo would get lost, Hoshino Yu offered to go back together.

Edogawa Ranpo was not only full, but also had a bag of thick snacks from Hoshino Yu in his arms.

The setting sun at this time is just like burning out, gorgeous falling fireworks, and the rich golden yellow dyes the slightly dim sky.

At the beginning of the night, the lights are on, and the pedestrians on the road are bustling.

This is an alley, and it is rare that there are fewer pedestrians.

Edogawa Ranpo saw Hoshino Yuu squatting down, broke the bun into pieces and fed it to the male Sanhuamao under the lamppost by the roadside.

The familiar Gongsanhua was not a stray cat, but Edogawa Ranpo muttered "he's not hungry at all" and kicked the stones on the side of the road without saying anything.

Edogawa Ranpo waited obediently by the side of the road while Yu Hoshino was trying to stroke the cat, in a rare obedient manner that Kunikida's jaw would drop in shock.

——Because Hoshino Yu fed him another delicious stick.

Tearing off the wrapping paper, Edogawa ate the delicious bar slowly, watching Hoshino Yuu warmly comforting the Kosanka who seemed a little shy.

There was a gentle smile in Hoshino Yu's eyes, and his rose-red bracelet that was the same color as his eyes seemed to be stained with thick blood in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Pretty and weird—like this quirky neighbor he couldn't see straight through for the first time.

Edogawa Ranpo's emerald green eyes flashed a dark light, and he closed his eyes slightly after eating the last bite of the delicious bar.

——but... not the enemy.

So—whatever.

"Master Ranpo also wants to eat buns—!" Edogawa Ranpo interrupted Yu Hoshino's feeding confidently, and he said loudly: "And you have a lot of delicious food, I know it all!"
