People are in Yokohama, the vest is fully open

"This side has verified your adoption qualifications, and detected that you have obtained the consent of the card will..."

The lady from the logistics department operated the floating virtual light curtain a few times, and said: "... I have helped you contact the creator of the card. If the other party agrees, the card will be automatically issued by the system. Email sent to your account."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Hoshino Yu smiled and thanked the logistics lady.

"It should be." The logistics lady added: "Although it is unlikely, if the other party rejects your adoption application, you will not have the right to initiate another adoption application."

"Hey?" Hoshino Yu never knew this rule, he asked: "Then if the other party refuses, but I still want to continue to adopt cards, what should I do?"

"This requires you to contact the owner of the card yourself," said the logistics lady, "If the other party's consent is obtained, the other party can initiate an application for adoption, but we will not disclose the contact information of the card prototype staff to you." .”

"Ok."

Hoshino Yuu thanked the logistics lady and left the logistics department to go to the commercial street to solve the lunch problem.

There are many types of restaurants in the commercial street, and Hoshino Yu had no idea for a while, so he simply chose a cafeteria with a wide variety of dishes.

The restaurant is decorated in a combination of elegance and leisure. Hoshino Yu randomly found a place to eat and sat down. After picking out a few of his favorite foods with the plate, he opened the communication interface again.

After Hoshino Yu passed the 'Edogawa Ranpo' communication friend request, he sent an emoji package of a cat and a probe to the consultant, but he still hasn't received a reply from the other party.

Hoshino Yuu hesitated for a while between directly sending the other party a video communication application and waiting for the other party's reply, and finally he decided to wait for the other party's response before making the next decision.

Although Hanyu Kiyosada said that 'Edogawa Ranpo' had applied to browse the memory of the completely copied card and chose to merge, but the other party was not the criminal consultant Mr. Hoshino Yu used to get along day and night after all.

Moreover, compared to the memory of the consultant who is only going to die when the world collapses, this 'Edogawa Ranpo' doesn't know how long he has been with the company and what he has experienced.

It is very likely that time has already had an effect on him, making 'Edogawa Ranpo' a look that Hoshino Yuu is not so familiar with.

so.......

Although 'Edogawa Ranpo' willing to take the initiative to send a communication application has already expressed a certain degree of intimacy and recognition, but Hoshino Yu still does not intend to act rashly, so as not to be too abrupt and cause the other party's disgust.

but.........

Hoshino Yuu's gaze stayed on the pasta and steak in front of him for a moment, and when he said 'Edogawa Ranpo'...he suddenly wanted to eat dessert.

Hoshino Yu himself has a sweet-toothed personality, otherwise he wouldn't take it for granted to get close to sweet-toothed cards.

Even Hoshino Yuu went to a class to learn how to make desserts because he likes to eat desserts.

Thinking of several desserts that "Edogawa Ranpo" often talked about, Hoshino Yuu remembered that this store seemed to have several of them.

So, Hoshino Yu, who had just sat down, stood up again, ready to go to the dessert area.

Mousse cake, creme brulee, yogurt honey ice cream.....

This cafeteria did not live up to its high price. Desserts of all kinds are listed on both sides of the dining table, making people dizzy and salivating.

Hoshino Yu selected a few desserts that 'Edogawa Ranpo' liked very much, and they filled most of the plate.

Hoshino Yu took a glass of juice and was about to return to the table, but he was stopped by someone just as he picked up the plate.

"That's delicious...don't you add a little more strawberry cheese flavor?"

'Edogawa Ranpo' with a light brown beret on his head tilted his head and stopped in front of Hoshino Yuu.

The black hair on his forehead curled up limply, looking like

His host is also very personable.

The 'Edogawa Ranpo' in front of him inherits his previous style - the beautiful little cloak looks a bit student-like and draws an arc in mid-air, and he is holding a box full of various desserts in his hand. dinner plate.

At this time, the consultant who appeared in front of Yu Hoshino looked so natural and at ease - completely different from the loveless brat who shrank and knelt in the bathroom before, vomiting until his whole body trembled... It looked completely different.

The bright white light bar with irregular circumference at the top of the restaurant emits full of light, the soothing music in the cafeteria and the low-pitched conversations of people not far away make it all look very lifelike.

This is like an unusual afternoon, the bright white warm light shines through the messy black hair of Mr. Consultant, casting scattered shadows on his still young face, quiet and playful.

'Edogawa Ranpo' had a much healthier and ruddy complexion than Yu Hoshino remembered, and there was still some cream on his mouth.

Mr. Consultant's tone was so familiar that it didn't look like meeting him for the first time.

He got close to Yu Hoshino as a matter of course, took a sip of grape juice from his hand, relieved the sweetness of eating too many desserts, and said, "Yu, you will definitely like it."

"...Ranbu...jun?"

Hoshino stared blankly at the 'Edogawa Ranpo' that suddenly appeared in front of him.

When he drank the whole glass of juice in a 'gululu' manner, and then reached out to insert a small piece of cheesecake and handed it to Hoshino Yuu's face, Hoshino Yuu had a sudden sense of reality: "Why do you... ...will be here?"

"Don't use honorifics." 'Edogawa Ranpo' wrinkled his face unhappy.

He casually put the empty glass on the dining table beside him, and passed the cheesecake in his hand forward, motioning Hoshino Yuu to open his mouth: "This is super delicious!"

"—Eh?" 'Edogawa Ranpo' stretched out his hand without any seriousness, and he directly pressed the cheesecake to Hoshino Yuu's lips.

Hoshino Yu had no choice but to open his mouth and bite down the cheesecake that was already stuck to his mouth.

Hoshino Yuu leaned forward slightly, so that the consultant, who was a head shorter than him, would not be too tired. He tried his best to chew the cheesecake that was a bit too sweet, and said with great effort, "Thank you for Ranbu... ..."

"Hmm." The consultant seemed to be in a good mood. I don't know if it was because Hoshino Yu accepted his feeding, or changed his name obediently.

Satisfied, he inserted another piece of the same cheesecake into his mouth, and happily mumbled, "Isn't this super delicious!"

The cheesecake itself is not too sweet, it has a strong cheese aroma and sweet strawberry flavor.

However, since Hoshino Yu was fed a whole piece by 'Edogawa Ranpo', he swallowed it whole at this time, inevitably feeling a little sweet and greasy.

Although his throat was a little sore from the sweetness, Hoshino Yuu showed his dedication to work in the face of Mr. Criminal Consultant's bright eyes.

He smiled and agreed without any abnormality, "It's really delicious, it's indeed a random step."

Hoshino Yu's attitude was very calm, and his tone was extremely sincere, without any reluctance.

"That's right! Yu is really the best!" The mood of 'Edogawa Ranpo' became better visible to the naked eye.

Ranpo is still a random step...... Although the 'Edogawa Ranpo' in front of me seems to be more mature and more comfortable than the consultant in the card, but every move still reveals a kind of Hoshino Yuu's very familiar style.

This made Yu Hoshino, who was still a little nervous, calm down involuntarily.

Although I don't know whether the appearance of 'Edogawa Ranpo' is a coincidence or on purpose, it is very normal for the consultant.

In short......

No matter what - the taste of strawberry cheese in Yu Hoshino's mouth was sweet and strong, and his throat was so sweet that it was not his favorite dessert.

Hoshino Yuu's body seemed to become a lot lighter and more comfortable as this piece of dessert that was a bit too sweet and seemed to have just the right amount of sugar entered his stomach——to be able to eat again

The very fact of meeting Mr. Consultant was a pleasure in itself.

Thinking of this, the smile on Hoshino Yu's face became softer and more euphoric. He picked up the empty glass that the consultant had placed on the dining table, and handed it to the staff who came to collect the tableware not far away.

"Random walk..."

Hoshino Yuu smiled, just as he was about to ask 'Edogawa Ranpo' to sit down at the table together, 'Edogawa Ranpo' put another piece of strawberry cheesecake in front of Hoshino Yuu's face.

Mr. Consultant's dark green pupils were shining like stars, and he said generously, "I can give this to you too!"

Hoshino Yuu, whose throat was still sore, petrified in place. Is this... the legendary saying that he shot himself in the foot?

"Eat, eat, eat!" This time, Hoshino Yu did not bow his head in a 'sensible' way, which made 'Edogawa Ranpo' raise his wrist sorely.

He urged: "Eat it quickly, he will serve a new cake!"

Yu Hoshino suddenly realized his fate as a tool man: in order to avoid waste in this buffet restaurant, desserts are only allowed to be served on the same plate at one time.

After realizing that he was just a ruthless tool man, Yuu Hoshino opened his mouth numbly and accepted the sweetness attack of strawberry cheese.

However, when Hoshino Yu tried his best to control himself not to be distorted by Tian's face and swallowed with difficulty, the fork with the cream puff stuck in Lian Hoshino Yu's face again.

Hoshino, who was so sweet that he wanted to choke his throat, slowly made a question mark, his eyes deeply expressing his bewilderment and confusion.

'Edogawa Ranpo' didn't seem to understand Hoshino Yu's confusion at all. He held a double-layered dessert plate, and hurriedly licked the puffs to Hoshino Yu's mouth—it seemed that if it was possible, He really wanted to stuff all the remaining desserts into Yu Hoshino's mouth.

"Hurry up, Yuu!"

'Edogawa Ranpo' was talking, his eyes drifted to the dessert table behind Yu Hoshino from time to time—the Mr. Consultant's face was a little imperceptibly anxious: Mango Melaleuca was only served six times this time. indivual!

The lady in the plaid shirt who was sitting at the table seven meters away... at first glance, she was going directly to empty the mango layer!

After being stuffed with two more puffs, Yu Hoshino finally found a gap to speak. He quickly pressed the fork that Mr. Consultant wanted to reach forward again.

——Yu Hoshino stuffed the empty dessert plate into the arms of 'Edogawa Ranpo', he almost choked up and said: "Use this, Ranpo..."

The consultant's eyes lit up immediately, he immediately took the plate from Hoshino Yuu's hand, and emptied his beloved Mango Melaleuca in front of the plaid shirt lady.

It wasn't until the last Mango Melaleuca landed firmly on the plate in the hands of 'Edogawa Ranpo' that Mr. Consultant happily ran back to Hoshino Yuu and said loudly: "So--I I like you the most, Yuu!"

Yu Hoshino, who had been (physically) shed physiological tears, nodded with a strong smile, and he responded with a trembling voice and said calmly: "Ranbu...... It really hasn't changed at all. …”
