170.
Yakuken turned around and saw Edogawa Ranpo squatting behind him with messy hair and curled ends, wearing pajamas with a yellow duck pattern.
Seeing the gaze from Yao Yan, he smiled confidently and pushed the old glasses with his index finger.
Yaoyan Cat: I suddenly have a bad feeling.
This premonition is exactly the same as the feeling Dazai Osamu had when he revealed his true identity.
But that feeling is even more terrifying!
"So that's how it is—" The ending tone of Edogawa Ranpo's words felt like a sweet and soft marshmallow, drawn out for a long time, as if she was acting coquettishly.
He glanced at the dagger bathing in the moonlight, and then looked at the little black cat in front of him. Even though he was facing an expressionless cat face, he could still read the nervousness and panic of the cat from the tiny movements of the cat.
"It's okay. I won't hurt you." Edogawa Ranpo's squatting posture is similar to that of a cat, with his legs spread outward and his hands on the ground. Coupled with his childish face that still looks like a student and his childish words, he looks particularly cute.
However, when he opened his eyes, which were like the willow branches gently touching each other in spring and rippling with blue water, a cold and sharp light flashed, as if he saw through everything, making people suddenly realize that he was the famous detective.
"Wow, there is no other way. Since you don't believe that Ranpo-sama can reason to this extent, I will show you."
Edogawa Ranpo's expression was bright - even though it was night, it unexpectedly had the dazzling light of the early sun: "Let me make it clear first, I'm not going to explain everything to you in detail like I'm teaching an idiot."
Edogawa Ranpo habitually wanted to press the hat on his head, but he remembered that he took off his hat when going to bed at night, so he changed his outstretched right hand to twist a small amount of hair in front of his forehead: " You are the god of swordsmanship, Yauken Toshiro.”
"Well, because of the trouble I had four years ago, I was taken in by Oda Saku and became acquainted with Dazai."
"Ah, Dazai also speculated about the cause of your misfortune, but his speculation was obviously wrong," Edogawa Ranpo raised a smug smile, "How can he compare to the famous detective? He actually made a mistake on this point. Hehehe - your misfortune, to be precise, was not caused by your real master, but you voluntarily staged a big drama with the fake master for the sake of those injured swordsmen and went undercover."
Yakuin finally realized the horror of this world-class reasoning level that existed like a bug, and was caught off guard and his vest was exposed by Ranpo Edogawa in one encounter.
It's cold, I hope he won't strip me naked now. He thought while covering his little heart.
Edogawa paused. He never cared about or followed the social rules of etiquette. Most of the time, he was the one who ruined the atmosphere and didn't know how to look at other people.
But when facing this transcendent and noble sword, which is as bright as the full moon tonight and possesses beautiful qualities, I can't help but feel a sense of affection and reliance in my heart - after all, this short sword named Yaken Toushirou is indeed protecting the humans he loves.
As a result, Edogawa Ranpo softened his tone a little, although it was not easy to see.
"Ah, that battle four years ago involving three parties. You saw that Oda Sakunosuke was doomed to die, so you made some special arrangements to save him." Edogawa Ranpo's tone suddenly became a little indignant, and Yaken felt that it was probably because of him.
The subsequent conversation also proved this point: "Are you the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary? Ah, although this does not exist, there is obviously a better plan, and you can do it according to your mind. After all, you solved the knot without telling Dazai Osamu, saved the lives of Odasaku and the children, and also facilitated Dazai Osamu's rebellion."
Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his eyes and puffed up his face. He always had a natural desire to protect self-sacrificing people. This kind of exposed emotion was exactly how he behaved in front of people with high favorability: "You contacted Sakaguchi Ango, destroyed Odasaku's file, created a new innocent file, and tricked the leader of the Port Mafia. Although he was the biggest winner of this war, you also won two capable generals with extraordinary abilities for the Armed Detective Agency that was not involved in that incident."
"But, are you stupid? Why don't you think about yourself?" Edogawa Ranpo was angry and a little upset. He didn't know the specific reason. "The reason why you became what you are today is because you exchanged that treasure for something, so you can't maintain your human form. Even after sleeping for four years, you can only appear in the form of a low-level animal when you wake up now."
The cat waiting to be stripped of her vest: "Meow meow meow???"
No, the previous reasoning was obviously correct, but why did that incisive reasoning end up running in a familiar direction? ?
Although Yao Yan was relieved that he was not stripped of his true identity, it did not mean that he would happily accept this new brain-filled setting.
How did Edogawa Ranpo come up with the final step of reasoning?
His previous reasoning was based on the past traces on Yakuken, the daily chats between Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke, and the files of the two when they joined the company. The past clues were linked together by the chain because of the appearance of Yakuken, and finally formed a necklace.
However, the latest traces on Yaoyan's body can only be traced back to four years ago. After that, it seemed as if time had frozen on his body, leaving no trace.
That is to say, during this period, his body was in a "frozen" state. In addition, the only possibility for him to appear in this state was that there was a change in the energy in his body, and the most likely possibility for this change was that he had made a deal with a certain being.
A deal made to avoid the death of Oda Sakunosuke.
In fact, in some ways, Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning is indeed correct. After all, he made the inference without expecting the existence of such a magical system.
Of course, Edogawa Ranpo saw more than just these things, although he did not continue to dig deeper because he respected Yaken, the god he liked: "Well, why do you want to protect humans?" You have been hurt by humans before.
The little black cat walked towards him without hesitation, and patted his hand with its right paw.
Morse code was used, and Ranpo Edogawa basically translated simultaneously.
——"The sword in my hand exists to protect."
Her emerald eyes opened and met those determined cat eyes, and her heart surged like waves.
How similar he is to the president... For the sake of justice, for the righteousness that one upholds in one's heart, can one just keep going forward like that?
Edogawa Ranpo sighed softly, "Okay, okay, there's nothing I can do." He is really the worst at dealing with people like this!
Yakuin, who had no idea what Edogawa Ranpo was going to do next, heard a piece of information that shocked him: "But I think it's better for you to tell the president. His schedule for the next few days includes taking you to the hospital for deworming and vaccinations, and asking the doctor to see when you can be sterilized."
Yaoyan: "..."
171.
Today was another day for Kunikida Doppo to carry out the plan in the ideal manual.
【7:50】
After finishing breakfast, Kunikida Dopo checked his appearance again in front of the full-length mirror.
Most of her hair was blond, with a slight golden hue, and was styled short, with only a small tuft of hair left longer in the middle of the back of her head, tied into a neat little braid.
The red ribbon tie was neatly tied, and the shirt and vest were clean and tidy.
After nodding with satisfaction, Kunikida picked up his briefcase that had been placed aside, opened the door and walked out.
【8:15】
After waiting there for a few minutes, the owner of the newsstand on the roadside came to work on a bicycle. He greeted Kunikida Doppo, stopped his car, and took out the latest issue of the magazine that Kunikida Doppo needed from the box at the back of the car.
Very good, all the plans so far have been executed perfectly, Kunikida Doppo checked the time on his watch in the manual and thought with some pleasure.
It was almost half past eight, and he took the elevator to the fourth floor. After half past eight, before the guy came to the detective agency, he completed the work in a fixed order.
As long as that bastard doesn't come, the beginning of the day's plan can be carried out perfectly... Thinking of this, Kunikida opened the door.
"Hey, Kunikida-kun~"
The voice that sounded like an evil spell rang out, and Kunikida Dopo subconsciously had a headache. He quickly covered his forehead with his right hand: "Dazai?? Did I hear it wrong? Yes, that's right, it must be like this."
The black-haired young man, who was originally lying flat on the sofa, straightened up upon hearing this, waved at him, and said with a smile: "Kunikida-kun, there is no point in running away. I'm right here."
The game started in hell mode. Kunikida Dopo's mind started to beep like a red warning. "Why are you here so early today?"
This doesn't make sense at all. Normally, Dazai Osamu would not come to work before 10 o'clock. Sometimes he would not be seen for the entire morning!
"Because Oda Saku was temporarily pulled out by his editor this morning to discuss the arrangements for the book signing event, he asked me to take Sakura to the new school. It won't be enough to rely on the other children alone, so there must be adults present. After taking care of the children, I will come back to the detective agency." Dazai Osamu explained with a blink of his eyes.
"But I didn't expect that Kunikida-kun would be so unwelcoming to me. It really makes me sad." Dazai Osamu covered his heart and forced a sad expression.
"Now that you've come to the detective agency, you should do your job well and don't disturb me!" Kunikida walked quickly to his desk, put down his briefcase, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Just after he turned on the computer, there was a knock on the door of the detective agency, and then someone pulled the door handle open.
"Um, is this the Armed Detective Agency?"
Kunikida Dopo realized that this was probably a new client, so he quickly stood up and said, "Yes, this is it. Are you here to commission something?"
Standing at the door were two children of similar age, one was a "girl" with long orange-gold hair and a delicate face, and the other was a shy boy holding five white-spotted cats in his arms. They were both wearing a somewhat strange but expensive-looking uniform similar to military uniforms.
"Yes," the "girl" spoke first, "We heard about the Armed Detective Agency nearby and thought it might be able to solve our current troubles, so we came to visit you. May I ask if you accept commissions like finding people?"
Looking for someone? Before Kunikida Dopo could ask for details, he saw Dazai Osamu, who was paralyzed by the salted fish, suddenly rush forward.
The military uniform "girl" was surprised when Dazai Osamu held her hands: "Ah, this face as youthful and beautiful as a rose, what a lovely and charming lady! Don't worry, our Armed Detective Agency will definitely solve your troubles, but after that, can you die with me?"
"Suicide for love?"
Dazai Osamu nodded, "Yes, yes, we are a pair of ill-fated lovers in Yomi Hirasaka~"
"Dazai!!" Before Kunikida could rush over and beat Dazai hard, he saw Dazai's hands being pried apart by the "girl" with a smile, and then she punched him in the abdomen, followed by a shoulder throw that looked extremely painful.
The cats also cried "woooo" and jumped out of the silver-haired boy's arms, waving their claws to grab Dazai Osamu.
"Sorry, I'm a boy and have no interest in men. I won't be polite to those lechers who try to do physical things to me." Rantoshiro clapped his hands and said with a frown.
The author has something to say: Personal setting: The big tigers can grow bigger or smaller freely, and the reason here is to pretend to be temporarily smaller.
Yesterday and today were both homework deadlines. I was crying my eyes out. When will the online classes end?
There will be no update tonight.
