People are in Yokohama, the vest is fully open

A dazed expression appeared on the face of 'Edogawa Ranpo'. It looked like a cat that was about to rush out to play with great interest, but it stepped on the air and fell off the fence.

"Ranpo?" Hoshino Yu immediately noticed something was wrong, and followed the line of sight of 'Edogawa Ranpo'.

I saw, in the aisle not far away, came a blond girl and a decadent uncle in a white coat.

The decadent man with black hair and red eyes was pushing a shopping cart and talking to the girl with a smile. They looked like a father and daughter.

The blond girl in a small foreign dress shook the bag of potato chips in her hand and made a 'crash' sound: "I want to eat this, Rintaro!"

"Alice-chan, you can eat whatever you want—" the man called Rintaro said dotingly.

... Mori Ogai?

Hoshino Yu shared the memory of "Edogawa Ranpo", and he recognized at a glance that the seemingly harmless and decadent uncle in front of him was the incumbent Mafia port in Mr. Consultant's memory who pulled him out of the abyss and placed him in the clouds. leader.

——Ogai Mori, who was once believed by "Edogawa Ranpo" with dependence and hope.

It wasn't long before the card of 'Edogawa Ranpo' was uninstalled, and the influence of the 100% synchronization rate with 'Edogawa Ranpo' still remained in Yu Hoshino's consciousness.

The moment he saw Mori Ogai, his heart skipped two beats uncontrollably, and even the smile on Hoshino Yuu's face disappeared.

How...how did he appear here?

Without even turning his head to look, Yu Hoshino could guess how ugly the expression on 'Edogawa Ranpo' was.

Not to mention the difficult relationship between Mr. Consultant and Mori Ogai... Hoshino Yuu sighed inwardly. The last time Ranpo saw Mori Ogai was when he witnessed being involved as a partner. Among them, knowing that he must die, he released the filth and stepped on the battlefield from which he could not retreat.

As for Mori Ogai...he chose to retreat temporarily.

For an organization leader, for a commander who focuses on strategy rather than force, facing an enemy who knows nothing, this is the most sensible choice.

But for the 'Edogawa Ranpo' who chose to stay, the last time he saw Mori Ogai before his death was the back of him turning away.

It's no wonder that even his emotions were affected a little at this time, Hoshino Yuu sighed silently, staring at Mori Ogai who smiled and nodded towards him,

With Hoshino Yuu's understanding of Mori Ogai, it is no accident that he would appear in front of him in this posture.

Affected by the emotion of 'Edogawa Ranpo', Hoshino Yuu realized that his reaction was abnormal, and it was absolutely impossible for Mori Ogai not to notice...

Mori Ogai and Alice pushed the car and parked not far from Hoshino Yuu, Alice stood on tiptoe and looked at the products on the shelves: "It's all soda..."

On the other hand, Ogai Mori looked at Yu Hoshino while Alice was picking out the goods. He seemed to want to pretend to be a passerby to start a conversation.

But after Mori Ogai noticed the difference in Hoshino Yu's expression, he no longer deliberately concealed his identity: "Hoshino-kun... seems to know me?"

Hoshino Yu subconsciously wanted to pretend that he was not familiar with him and take the opportunity to say goodbye, but the sadness and nostalgia in his heart seemed to be overflowing, making it impossible for him to pretend that nothing had happened.

It's just the feeling produced by the residual effects of the spirit....

Hoshino Yuu wanted to sigh again, walking in disorder......

Hoshino Yu secretly took the hand of 'Edogawa Ranpo' under the cover of the shopping cart, he smirked and answered Mori Ogai's question and said, "I have heard about it."

Unlike when he was in the book club, the body temperature of 'Edogawa Ranpo' is no different from that of ordinary people. At this time, the texture of Ranpo's hand is a bit like jelly and cool.

Unaccustomed to it, Hoshino Yuu slightly squeezed the hand of 'Edogawa Ranpo' as a comfort.

Mori Ogai didn't expect Hoshino Yuu to have such a reaction, he smiled and asked with great interest: "Would you like to have a cup of coffee together, Hoshino-kun?"

Before Hoshino Yuu could reply, he heard the voice of 'Edogawa Ranpo' in his ears: "I want to go home, Yuu."

Hoshino Yu clenched the hand of 'Edogawa Ranpo', indicating that he knew.

"No need," Hoshino Yu said with no expression on his face, he refused, "We have nothing to talk about, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Just when Hoshino Yuu was about to push the shopping cart to check out and leave, he was stopped by Mori Ogai: "Hoshino-kun, Chuya has reported everything about the amusement park and you guys to me."

Hoshino Yu didn't stop, he walked around Mori Ogai who was blocking the way without looking back, and prepared to leave directly.

"I was asked a question yesterday, and I'm curious about Hoshino-kun's answer."

Hearing that it was related to Chuya Nakahara, Hoshino Yuu stopped reluctantly. He looked at Mori Ogai who was looking at him with a smile: "What?"

"Nakaya-kun asked me, if that detective from the Armed Detective Agency became my disciple..." Mori Ogai chuckled, and said, "...what will it be like, Hoshino-kun?" What do you think?"

In fact, this is not Chuya Nakahara's question. He has long learned from 'Edogawa Ranpo' how powerful the port Mafia with such a terrifying core as 'Edogawa Ranpo' is.

He asked another question,

"...how will you treat him, chief?"

Surprise flashed across Mori Ogai's eyes, he thought for a moment, and no one knew what was floating in his mind.

Nakahara Nakaya only saw Mori Ogai chuckling as usual and said, "Probably there is no such possibility... Nakaya-kun."

There is no need to continue to ask, Nakahara Chuya knew the answer naturally from the moment Mori Ogai answered calmly, just like "Edogawa Ranpo" in the past.

Here in Mori Owai, there has never been and will not be a second answer other than the optimal solution option that he agrees with.

Zhong Yuanzhong, who doesn't need emotional support, can continue to live in the port of Mafia, but the criminal consultant can't.

It would be the same even without the sudden disaster.

Chuya Nakahara suddenly had this idea in his heart, maybe this place is suitable for the criminal consultant to show his skills, but if 'Edogawa Ranpo' only wants to become a ranpo, it will only gradually die here.

so......

Really lucky.

When Nakahara Chuya left the chief's office in the elevator, he once looked at the rapidly descending scenery and thought: The detective of the Armed Detective Agency here...

Compared to Luanbu, he was a little too lucky.

"No one would ask such a question."

"You are the one who asked this question, Mr. Mori."

'Edogawa Ranpo' and Hoshino Yu's words blurted out almost at the same time.

"Even so," Mori Ogai raised his eyebrows, "What is Hoshino-kun's answer?"

'Edogawa Ranpo' kept his eyelids down, holding Hoshino Yuu's hand tightly to avoid looking at Mori Ogai.

At this time, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and mustered up his courage, relying on Mori Ogai not being able to see him, he said loudly: "Master Ranpo has decided to hate you!"

The depression in Hoshino Yuu's heart, which seemed to be crushed by a stone, dissipated a lot, and he smiled slightly: "My answer is that there is no answer."

Mori Ogai looked at Hoshino Yu unexpectedly: "Huh?"

"Mr. Mori, when you asked this question..."

When you are all thinking about how to maximize the development of the organization, and utilitarian indifference wants to use all possible forces. …

"There will be no answer to that question."

Random steps are destined to drift away from you, or even irrelevant.

"That's right!" 'Edogawa Ranpo' obviously seemed to be speaking harshly, but the expression on his face was sad as if he was about to cry: "I am already, even if I am sure of myself, it is completely fine. My lord!"

Looking at the thoughtful Mori Ogai, Hoshino Yu knew that he probably misunderstood what he meant.

"I won't say goodbye, Mr. Mori," Hoshino Yuu smiled lightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood: "After all, no matter what, we don't want to see you again."

.......us?

Before Mori Ogai could figure out the deep meaning of Hoshino Yuu's words, Hoshino Yuu pushed the shopping cart and left without looking back.

"Rin Taro is hated..." Alice, who had been lively before, watched the direction in which Yu Hoshino disappeared, pointing out this fact frankly and coldly.

"Alice-chan!!" Mori Ogai's frightening aura immediately faded away, and he hugged Alice with his arms crossed tearfully: "Although this seems to be true, it's still too hurtful to say it directly!! "

"Stupid Rintaro!"

......

......

Coming out of the department store, Hoshino Yuu carried several bags, but he was a little depressed when he saw 'Edogawa Ranpo', so he still didn't have the heart to go back to the White Crow Bookstore, but turned into a nearby convenience store. in the store.

The mood of 'Edogawa Ranpo' is no longer the exuberance it once was when it was a big purchase in a department store.

At this time, "Edogawa Ranpo" heard the mechanical "welcome" sound in the convenience store, and he just followed behind Hoshino Yuu step by step, and passed through the slowly closing automatic door without asking Hoshino Yuu at all. mean.

This is like a kitten who is energetic and likes to be close to people on weekdays. It will always dangle in front of you.

Although it never directly "meowed" to tell you to touch him quickly, it will roll around you from time to time, or stare at you and wait for you to touch your chin before lazily lying down.

So it suddenly lay on the side and circled itself, and nestled alone in the corner... It always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"There are potato chips here," Hoshino Yuu walked through several rows of shelves and found what he was looking for. He raised his head and asked, "Which flavors of potato chips do you want to eat?"

"..."'Edogawa Ranpo' suddenly lowered his head, Hoshino Yuu wasn't sure if he had read it wrongly, the circles of Mr. Consultant's eyes seemed to be redder than after the harsh words just now.

"Huh?" Hoshino Yu was not in a hurry, he asked patiently: "Ranbu, don't you want to eat?"

"of course not......"

'Edogawa Ranpo' turned his head, and he just didn't look at the potato chips and Yu Hoshino: "Master Ranpo...I want to eat all the flavors..."

Is it 'want', not 'want'?

"Okay," Hoshino Yuu's heart softened suddenly, and he said gently, "Then buy them all back, if you want to eat in disorder."

"Of course Lord Ranbu wants to eat!"

"Hahaha, good." Seeing that 'Edogawa Ranpo' seemed to cheer up again, Hoshino smiled: "Then listen to Ranpo-sama."

......

......

When he got off the taxi, the depressed mood of 'Edogawa Ranpo' had dissipated in sevens and eighties.

While listening to 'Edogawa Ranpo' chirping about what to eat first, Hoshino Yuu pressed the elevator, and he scanned the display, unexpectedly finding that the elevator seemed to be stopping at the third floor.
