The detective finally went to where they lived with Fukuzawa Yukichi and the others.

He sat in front of the table, feeling somewhat helpless, staring blankly at the food on the table. Edogawa Ranpo sat next to him, and Fukuzawa Yukichi placed the food on the table with a serious look on his face.

I'm not used to it.

The detective finished his meal in silence.

Until the detective was about to leave, he didn't speak to Fukuzawa Yukichi again.

Before leaving, Edogawa Ranpo took the initiative to ask to escort the detective away, and did not stop until he reached a place where he was sure that Fukuzawa Yukichi could not hear their conversation.

They looked at each other in silence.

"Is your health due to the 'book'?" asked Ranpo Edogawa, his green eyes fixed on the famous detective.

"You found me! But it makes sense, after all, you are Edogawa Ranpo!" The detective said with a smile, "You also know what Ranpo-sama is going to do, right?"

Ranpo Edogawa: "You want to use the book to bring your parents back to life."

The detective nodded, "Yes, but it failed. The only thing that was resurrected was the same face."

"You killed them yourself," said Ranpo Edogawa.

"Ah, after all, only the faces are the same, but the inside is a mess. Although books are said to be able to realize all the wishes written down, they cannot truly understand people's hearts, nor can they reverse what has happened."

The famous detective stretched his back to Edogawa Ranpo and said, "How can Ranpo-sama tolerate the resurrected creatures standing up to their parents? I had no choice but to kill them myself."

Edogawa Ranpo's eyes were complicated. "You feel sad, right?"

The detective tilted his head, "No."

"Although it's filled with a bunch of random stuff, the face is exactly the same. You killed someone who looks exactly like your dad and mom with your own hands. It must be sad, right?"

Edogawa Ranpo walked up to the famous detective, put his head against his, held the detective's hand, and lowered his eyes slightly, "Lord Ranpo knows that your hands were stained with blood in Mori Ogai, that you are a real criminal, and that you have been completely immersed in darkness."

The detective moved and tried to break away, but was stopped by Edogawa Ranpo.

“It’s sad for a person to go through this, right?”

After a long while, the detective said, "No, Ranbu-sama won't be sad!"

Ranpo Edogawa: “I’m very sad.”

The detective was stunned, and Edogawa Ranpo continued, "If you are not sad, Ranpo-sama will help you feel sad! It's too sad! It's sadder than not being able to eat your favorite snacks or drink your favorite soda, and it's sadder than being suspected and driven away by others!"

“I’m so sad I’m dying!”

Edogawa Ranpo shouted loudly.

He hugged the detective.

"The feeling of killing someone for the first time, the feeling of using my talent to help commit a crime for the first time, the feeling of falling further and further away from my parents' expectations, the feeling of walking into the darkness alone, all of it, all of it, was so sad!"

"But, but, Mom and Dad will be proud of you! Because the world's number one detective, Ranpo Edogawa, has grown into an awesome adult!"

The world's number one detective, Ranpo Edogawa, has become a shining adult.

Edogawa Ranpo hugged the detective tightly, as if conveying some strength, "So, hold on, whether it's Moriogai or the president! Everything will be fine, Ranpo-sama promises you, it will be fine!"

"The core of the Armed Detective Agency is detectives. You no longer need to do anything for the Port Mafia. Go to the Armed Detective Agency! The president has been waiting for you. Don't you know that clearly?!"

"It's not so much that you resist contact with the president as you are afraid of contact with the president. Ranpo-sama has never been a coward, so make a decision quickly!"

Edogawa Ranpo's voice suddenly became somewhat gentle.

"Everyone loves you, Ranbu."

Who doesn't like Ranbu-sama?

…

"Lord Ranbu thinks you're a bit annoying." After a long pause, the detective said this.

Edogawa Ranpo laughed proudly: "Ranpo-sama is not annoying!"

He took a step back, looked at the detective and asked, "So, have you made up your mind?"

"..." Mr. Ming Detective turned his head away, "Lord Ranpo just misses the snacks from the snack shop next to the detective agency!"

The detective's silhouette gradually became transparent, and Edogawa Ranpo looked at him.

"Thank you."

The sound was so soft that he wouldn't have heard it if Ranpo Edogawa hadn't been standing right in front of him.

Edogawa Ranpo put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Humph, you are really an idiot! Ranpo-sama is the world's number one detective!"

"It is Lord Ranbu!" As these words fell, the figures of the detectives disappeared.

"… Ranpo-sama, just admit that you are also the world's best detective, idiot." Edogawa Ranpo said to the empty front, he put down his hand, "Hmm, I want to eat snacks from the snack shop next to the detective agency."

Let the president help buy it back!

Edogawa Ranpo made the decision happily.

After returning to the mission space, Araki was stunned for a while, picked up the terminal and sent a message to Endo Yu: "Do you think Edogawa Ranpo is a great adult?"

It didn't take long for the other side to respond.

"? What? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Araki did not answer his question, but asked again: "Do you think Edogawa Ranpo has become a great adult?"

After a while, the other party responded, "Of course. Why are you suddenly so obsessed with this issue?"

Arashi smiled slightly relaxed, lying on his back on the sofa, without answering his friend's question. He put his right arm over his eyes and muttered to himself in a low voice, "Hey, Arashi, you have become a great adult too."

He chuckled.

The card drawer made a beeping sound, and the system's voice sounded, "Tasker No. A163, do you need to apply for a vacation to adjust your mental state?"

Arasuke expressed his answer with action. He stood up and walked to the card drawing machine and pressed a red round button, waiting for the text to appear. The system did not speak again.

The words on the machine kept changing, and finally a line of words appeared:

Bungou Stray Dogs Main Line Oda Sakunosuke

At the same time, the mission world for this time also appears in the lower right corner.

"Bungo Stray Dogs if World"

"Location: Port Mafia Newcomer Application Office"

"Please confirm"

This time it’s Oda Sakunosuke. Araki rubbed his temples and decided to take a rest after finishing this mission and then take on other missions.

I'm a little tired, let's take a rest.
