Chapter 18



Even though he suddenly turned into a little dumpling, Shibai's mentality recovered very quickly. Anyway, it's not impossible to play a short sword in the future, so just treat it as a practice in advance.

Well, Shibai has given up.

Everything has been going smoothly for him, and Shi Bai never thought that he would be lucky in these things. Whether he wanted to change the world by changing current affairs or the things that have become smaller now, they all made him miss the subtlety of the 300-episode plot.

But think about it from another angle, if he didn't have the idea of ​​changing the world, he was first spared and then met a kind person... maybe he would be quite suitable to play Motoki?

"Although I don't know why I'm here, and why I'm in this state... But this is also a very interesting surprise!"

Shibai continued to maintain his character like this and planned to hang the main sword back on his waist, but he found that due to his height, the tip of the sword was completely dragging on the ground.

Shibai was silent for two seconds, then he leaned on his crutches and held his sword with both hands. He bowed slightly to Fukuzawa Yukichi who was still sitting quietly, "Thank you very much for your help. If there is anything you need me to do, I will do it for you."

Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned slightly at what Shibai said. His face was quite dignified, the kind of aura that could scare a child to tears.

Not only that, now as the sword god of the dead, Shibai can feel the other party's identity as a swordsman more clearly than anyone else. In fact, compared to Shibai now, Fukuzawa Yukichi is more like a sharp sword in its sheath.

Fukuzawa Yukichi said in a deep voice: "The sword has not been completely repaired yet."

Shibai blinked his eyes, and he noticed Fukuzawa Yukichi's gaze, which was the gaze of a true sword lover. The more powerful the swordsman, the deeper his understanding of the sword.

Realizing this, Shi Bai curled his eyes and chuckled. Even though he was in the form of a funny child, his temperament, as if he had walked out of a Heian-kyō scroll, was something that no one could replicate. Shi Bai smiled and said, "Do you want to be my master?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi had never expected Shibai to say such a thing. He looked into Shibai's eyes in confusion without trying to avoid his gaze. "What?"

"My [former master] has reached the other side." Shi Bai tilted his head, looking calm, "If you want me to hand the sword back to you personally, doesn't that mean you want to be my master?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was stunned. This was his first time to encounter a sword god, so it was also the first time he heard such a saying. However, if you think about it from another perspective, it is not impossible to understand this matter. No wonder the kid was so wary of his actions just now... Fukuzawa Yukichi shook his head, "Sorry, I didn't know there was such a saying, and I never meant it."

Although the silver-haired young man did not make any deliberate gesture, one could still see that he was worried about the sword that had not yet been fully repaired.

Shi Bai felt a little guilty about deceiving an honest man, but for some reason, even though he knew the other person was a good person, his body subconsciously refused to get close to him. He even felt like turning around and leaving.

Suppressing this thought, Shi Bai still said in a relaxed tone: "You have completed most of the work. I can fix it myself next time. Don't worry."

Fukuzawa Yukichi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then during this time, please stay in the detective agency and recover completely."

Shibai didn't know how to refuse Fukuzawa Yukichi's kindness, so he could only accept it.

What he needed to do now was to slowly dissipate the energy in his body that did not belong to him. But just when he was about to do this, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have overlooked something.

For example, some tasks that he happily gave up, some tasks that he forgot about in the corner, and some tasks that he seemed to have never completed seriously.

It seems that there is a mission related to energy bodies? Finally, I remembered that I was on Shizheng's side, not Shisu's side. I contacted Kitsunesuke without any guilt and slowly began to analyze the special energy body in his body.

The state of Kitsunesuke can be adjusted by the censor. If Kitsunesuke wants to maintain his emotions and rationality, it will make the censor quite tired. However, during the role-playing period, most censors will choose to communicate with Kitsunesuke, so as to always pay attention to whether there are any problems with their mental state and not forget their identity.

There are only a few people like Shibai who have basically completely blocked Kitsunesuke.

Sitting on the sofa holding a sword that was almost as tall as his body, Shibaike sighed. His appearance made people feel like a child imitating an adult. Yosano Akiko, who was passing by and saw this scene, squatted in front of Shibaike with a smile: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Shibai shook her head, her face still chubby, but her expression was quite serious: "Nothing, Miss Jingzi."

This is an office located on the fourth floor of a reddish-brown brick building near Yokohama Harbor. Including him, there are no more than five people on the entire floor.

Armed Detective Agency, I have heard this name before. It is not so much that I am familiar with this name, but it is because the names of Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo are too famous.

When their group became famous, Shi Bai happened to come to this world, and even if he was far away in the Hong Kong underworld, Shi Bai could occasionally hear about the detective duo "Fukuzawa x Ranpo" from his subordinates and hostile organizations.

——Of course, it is not necessarily because these two names are so famous that they can reach Shibai's ears. It is more likely that these two names, both of which are literary masters, directly mobilize Shibai's nerves in this regard. Especially since one of them is directly printed on the coin and can be seen every day, [Fukuzawa Yukichi].

Maybe you have heard it once and remembered it immediately, so you will pay attention to this aspect consciously or unconsciously, thus creating the illusion that you can hear the news frequently.

According to the rumors heard by Shibatake (investigated), Edogawa Ranpo was a genius detective who was quite willful and did things his own way, while Fukuzawa Yukichi was a silent and cold but very powerful warrior.

If this organization was established by these two people, it would be quite lively. Anyone living in this area would probably think so. However, at present, there are only three members of the detective agency that Shibai has seen.

There is a serious shortage of manpower.

But after staying here for two days, Shi Bai roughly understood why this was the case. Because the current workload was not heavy, but those jobs that required going out for investigation were more troublesome.

Most of the clients in this area want to ask Edogawa Ranpo to solve their problems, but Edogawa Ranpo himself is an ordinary person without supernatural powers. It is not impossible for him to act alone, but Edogawa Ranpo's personality... is too individualistic, and he is likely to act rashly and encounter danger, so Fukuzawa Yukichi always goes with him.

The establishment of the Armed Detective Agency was centered around Ranpo Edogawa, but when Ranpo Edogawa was the only one who could handle the commission, adding more clerks would be useless and would only be a waste of time.

Only when more people are able to complete commissions will this detective agency gradually become more lively.

Yosano Akiko lowered her eyes and touched Shiba's head. Her overly soft gray hair intertwined with her fair and slender fingers. The girl with a metal butterfly pinned on her hair said, "Well, can I trouble you with something?"

Shibai also showed a lovely smile: "Of course, Ms. Akiko. I will bring you surprising results!"

>>>>>

"Don't even think about it! I'm the one who specifically asked you to work with me, a famous detective!" Ranpo Edogawa was wearing a British-style detective uniform that matched his status, and a matching hat on his head. His eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said, "I've already made an agreement with the president. This commission is your [Entrance Test]!"

Shibaku cooperated very well and looked at Edogawa Ranpo with sparkling eyes, with a childish smile on his childish face. He didn't care what the so-called entrance test was, but just said with great interest: "It seems very interesting!"

"So now, what should we do first, Mr. Ranpo?"

Edogawa Ranpo chuckled, pointed in an unknown direction and said happily, "Of course, we're heading to that newly opened dessert shop!"

Shi Bai asked a very important question, "Do you know the location?"

Edogawa Ranpo, who always had a boyish mentality, puffed up his face and said, "What do you think your job is? Your only mission is to lead the way for me!"

Shi Bai blinked and raised his hand obediently, "But isn't this my entrance exam?"

Edogawa Ranpo was immediately dissatisfied: "With a famous detective like me here, you are of no use at all!"

"That is to say -" Edogawa Ranpo gestured to the sky in a very handsome manner, "As long as you let me return to the detective agency before the end of the working day, you can pass the entrance test! That's what the president said."

Shibai held his original sword and followed Edogawa Ranpo closely, saying with a smile: "It's really a big shock. I understand, Mr. Ranpo!"

The conversation that was blown away by the wind reached her ears, and she and Yosano Akiko asked Fukuzawa Yukichi who was standing beside them, "Is this really okay, President?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the backs of the two children outside the window with a cold expression, "Just leave it to Ranpo."

Yosano Akiko smiled and said, "Now that you put it that way, I understand."
