When Atsushi Nakajima returned to the office after sorting the files, he saw Ranpo Edogawa coming out of the president's office at some point.

Edogawa Ranpo was sitting on the swivel chair with his cat ears squinting his eyes, and Osamu Dazai poked his ears curiously: "...It really won't disappear."

"Mr. Ranpo..." Atsushi Nakajima looked closely at the furry ears on the top of Edogawa Ranpo's head curiously: "This is..."

"It's exclusive to 'Edogawa Ranpo'—"

"Can I touch it, Mr. Ranpo?" Atsushi Nakajima asked tentatively.

"...Well——" Edogawa Ranpo nestled in the swivel chair, squinting his eyes: "Don't use too much force."

"Okay, okay!" Unexpectedly, he could get Edogawa Ranpo's permission. Atsushi Nakajima approached cautiously in surprise, and he used the same technique that he used to smooth the hair of the male Sanhua of 'Xiao Mi' in a slightly unfamiliar manner. Touched the newly grown cat ears on Edogawa Ranpo's head.

Edogawa Ranpo's ears moved, he narrowed his eyes comfortably, and leaned back in the chair.

"Random steps..." At this moment, the door of the president's office was pushed open from the inside, Fukuzawa Yukichi came out with a bag of packed snacks, his sight was uncontrollable The ground landed on top of Edogawa Ranpo's head.

Fukuzawa Yukichi coughed lightly, restraining his urge to start: "Take this, and say hello to Hoshino-kun for me."

"Okay——" Edogawa Ranpo happily took the small cloth bag of snacks packed by Fukuzawa Yukichi, and jumped off the swivel chair: "Then I'll go, goodbye everyone."

"Huh? Where is Mr. Ranpo going?" Atsushi Nakajima hastily withdrew his hand.

"Ranpo is going to find another Edogawa Ranpo to live for a while..." Fukuzawa Yukichi answered Nakajima's doubts. The cat ears on Abu's head were quite reluctant, but he just touched Edogawa Ranpo's head slightly, then retracted his hand restrainedly, and let him go.

"Then Mr. Ranpo doesn't need to go back to get some clothes or supplies?" Atsushi Nakajima wondered.

"That..." Osamu Dazai interjected with a smile, "Mr. Ranpo probably thinks that another Mr. Ranpo's is fine."

"Mr. Ranpo seem to have a good relationship," Atsushi Nakajima laughed: "Although I don't know what's going on, but...it's really great."

.......

.......

The White Crow Book Club downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency.

"I'm back—" Edogawa Ranpo skillfully knocked on the door of the bookstore with the small rations that Fukuzawa Yukichi packed for him.

"Welcome back, Ranbu-kun." Mr. Help Detective opened the door, and Hoshino Yuu welcomed him with dignity.

"Yeah," Edogawa Ranpo stuffed the small cloth bag in his hand into Hoshino Yu's arms: "This is Ranpo-sama's accommodation fee—"

"Accommodation fee?" Hoshino Yu felt it for a while, it seemed like some puffed food and snacks, he froze for a moment, and accepted it with a smile: "Okay, it just happens to be used for afternoon tea."

"Hoshino is so nice—" Edogawa Ranpo said loudly.

Hoshino smiled and closed the door.

Living with two Mr. Edogawa Rampo is troublesome and worry-free.

The trouble is because I have to prepare extra meals and snacks for two people, and I have to help the famous detective who occasionally doesn't know how to restrain himself and wants to learn from another "Edogawa Ranpo" to steal snacks to control his eating.

In addition, the two Edogawa Ranpo who stick together most of the time are like two kittens who climbed to the top of the cat climbing frame by themselves, sticking to each other, whispering in words that others cannot understand Mumbling something, pushing and shoving from here to there all day long, for a while their tails got entangled, and for a while because they guessed the murderer at the same time, they tacitly punished themselves with a bottle of wave soda.

Although no matter which Edogawa Ranpo is trying to reduce Hoshino Yu's workload, the plush carpet favored by Mr. Ranpo has been cleaned up by Hoshino Yu in these two days. and potato chips.

However, Hoshino Yuu didn't think it was just troublesome, no matter which Edogawa Ranpo it was, he was very likable.

Usually, just as Hoshino Yu just poured out the cat hair and snack crumbs in the vacuum cleaner, when he straightened up, an opened bottle of wave soda and a piece of persimmon cake with a bite were handed to Hoshino Yu.

At this time, Hoshino Yuu usually declined the kindness of Mr. Detective and Mr. Consultant, touched the two furry heads, and gently urged them to go to the house to play.

Although he didn't participate in the cleaning, but he was still paying attention to him and stopped talking at any time, comforting the poop shoveler. Nothing could be better than the two Mr. Luanpo.

Moreover, in order to reduce Hoshino Yu's workload, the two Mr. Ranpo would run back to the bedroom every day after washing up to find out the cat's hair comb, and help each other with their ears and tail.

——In this way, they tried to reduce the situation of cat fur flying all over the sky. Although the effect was not very obvious, Hoshino Yuu was very pleased with this heart.

In the past few days when Mr. Detective and Mr. Consultant lived together, they were very harmonious. Occasionally, Osamu Dazai from upstairs came back downstairs to visit, occasionally he would chat with Yu Hoshino, and sometimes he would stop at the "Oda Sakunosuke" 'I flip through the previous books on my bookshelf, but I sit in a daze because I can't read the books.

The little tiger upstairs and Tanizaki brothers and sisters also came down curiously, and then they all ended up bringing back a book written by the author with the same name as themselves.

Even Chuya Nakahara from Mafia at the port once knocked on the door of the bookstore.

But at that time, Edogawa Ranpo took 'Edogawa Ranpo' together to try new products at his favorite snack shop and got lost, so he didn't run into Nakahara Nakaya.

Although Nakahara was a little disappointed because he couldn't meet the person he wanted to see, seeing Hoshino Yu was not a disappointment.

Knowing that Hoshino Yuu is the mysterious person who ordered red wine for him, Nakahara also expressed his thanks a little embarrassedly, and chatted with Hoshino Yuu about Yokohama after dark, and left with a collection of poems after dark The White Crow Book Club.

Just like this, Hoshino Yu didn't make much effort, but before the 'Edogawa Ranpo' disappeared, he had accumulated enough energy for the new character card.

Time passed quickly, and the Century Paradise was still in sight, but 'Edogawa Ranpo' had already waved goodbye to Edogawa Ranpo who had lived there for several days.Edogawa Ranpo was still carrying the small cloth bag he had brought when he came here, but now it was no longer filled with the thick snacks that had entered the stomachs of him and Mr. Consultant long ago, but his Two days' change of clothes and some supplies.

The cat ears of 'Edogawa Ranpo' had disappeared two days ago, and Edogawa Ranpo was a little later than him, but he also returned to normal yesterday.

Hoshino Yuu still remembered that after the tail disappeared, Mr. Detective touched his empty hair in a daze, and shriveled his mouth as if he was not used to it.

Still, he didn't say anything.

Just like now, they all know that this may be the last time they meet.

But after Edogawa said goodbye to the other one in a sticky manner, he still took a deep breath, turned his head, said goodbye and left.

There are some things that you don't need to keep, because you can't keep them.

Watching Edogawa Ranpo's back disappear at the end of the corridor, Hoshino Yuu closed the door.He turned his head to look at 'Edogawa Ranpo' whose body had begun to become transparent faintly: "Are you leaving?"

"Hmm..." Mr. Criminal Advisor said happily, "I'm very happy these days, Yuu."

"Me too," Hoshino Yuu said with a smile, "Ranpo."

"I'm sorry, I secretly took some of your cards and left them to Chuya..." 'Edogawa Ranpo' said a little embarrassedly: "You won't be angry, will you?"

Yu Hoshino knew about this. In the Century Amusement Park, 'Edogawa Ranpo' used the name of charging, and stuffed Chuya Nakahara with a lot of props that can be effective even in the face of weirdness. Cards, including several, are the type that even Yu Hoshino would cherish and use.

With a helpless smile, Hoshino Yuu said: "It's okay, I can't run out of cards. He is your friend. It's normal for you to want to add some security to him."

"...You must remember to contact 'me' when work is over, Yuu!" 'Edogawa Ranpo' was silent for a moment, and said with bright eyes: "When the time comes, 'I' will definitely give you a super Big surprise."

"Haha, okay," Hoshino Yuu agreed with a smile, "Then I'll just wait and see."

The body of 'Edogawa Ranpo' had already disappeared even more. He appeared in a translucent state, but a dazzling white light erupted from his body, just like when the card was in effect.

"Are you leaving?" Hoshino asked.

"Yeah." 'Edogawa Ranpo' nodded, "Goodbye, Yuu—"

"Goodbye."

The white light suddenly became brighter, then slowly dimmed and disappeared.

At the same time, Hoshino Yu seems to have heard 'Edogawa Ranpo' say softly: "Nice...to meet you, Yu."

Hoshino Yu didn't know if it was his own illusion, but before he could respond, the white light completely dimmed and disappeared.

——'Edogawa Ranpo' disappeared.

Hoshino smiled slightly, opened the address book, pulled Hanyu Kiyosada out of the blacklist, thought about it, typed a line, and sent it: "Help me contact the prototype employee of the c00432 card, I I want his contact information, the name should be 'Edogawa Ranpo'."

[[Hayu Kiyosada]:?What's going on again, can you not agree to whatever requests others ask? 】

[[Hoshino Yu]: I don't agree to everyone's request. 】

[[Hayu Kiyosada]: Is there a difference? 】

Hoshino Yuu didn't bother to read Hanyu's clear message, and he knew that he would talk about himself not to be too unsuspecting.After sending a sentence of "waiting for your message", Hoshino Yu mercilessly blocked him again.

He ignored Qing Ding Hanyu's impotent fury: You blocked me, why wait for my news, hey! !

After closing the system's communication interface, Hoshino Yu opened the matching card pool that hadn't been opened for a long time, and took a picture of desserts on the table as usual. Hoshino Yu filled out the wish form and chose to upload it.

——Speaking of which, the desserts on the table were brought back when Edogawa Ranpo and 'Edogawa Ranpo' went shopping.

"A child who likes desserts will never have a bad personality." With such an optimistic thought, Hoshino Yuu, who knew nothing about the diversity of sweets, pressed the button to confirm the match, and ushered in his new life in this world. The second character card.

After a brief burst of white light, with the cheerful sound of shipping, the silver character card was pulled out from the card pool. The pattern on the back of the character card was exquisite and beautiful.

A character card with a light purple halo appeared in front of Hoshino Yuu.
