This spiritual energy could naturally not come from anyone else, and Yaken Toushirou immediately recognized that the little black cat in front of him was Yaken.
He carefully picked up the black cat, and his lavender eyes met those of the cat, revealing worry and self-blame: "Why is it that whenever you are out of sight, accidents are always more likely to happen?"
Yakuken called out softly, "Meow--" and gently patted Yakuken Toushirou's hand with her paw pads. The instant warmth from the little paws gave Yakuken Toushirou a feeling like an electric shock, but it also instantly calmed the restlessness in his heart.
"Brother," when Yakuken and Yakuken Toushirou appeared together, the Awataguchi shorts gradually called out their names to Ryoei. Ran Toushirou pulled Yakuken Toushirou's hand, "Yakukenni always does this, but if there is anything, let's go back to a safer place first."
"Ran-chan is right," Dazai Osamu looked at Yagen Toushirou with an inexplicable smile on his face, "Well, although it looks interesting, it's a bit dangerous to communicate here, let's go back to the office and talk about it."
"Oh, by the way, if we go back to the detective agency now, Mr. Dazai will be responsible for helping Miss Akiko carry her shopping bag. Don't lose it or damage it, otherwise Miss Akiko will want to discuss the joy of treatment with you." Rando Shiro tilted his head and said with a smile.
Dazai Osamu showed an expression of shock and disbelief: "Ran-chan, you have changed, and become very bad."
"Eh - but I think what the detectives taught me is very useful."
Seeing Dazai Osamu and Ranto Shiro communicating happily, Ichigo Ichikyu showed the "Death Smile" - this trick had also been used on Gang Gang Mori Ogai. While emitting black air, he stared at Dazai Osamu.
Dazai Osamu: “…”
The seemingly happy atmosphere there did not spread to Yagen Toushirou.
At this moment, he was holding the medicine research cat and was still thinking about the middle-aged man who they thought was a human trafficker but later found out it might be a misunderstanding.
But one thing that cannot be overturned is that the man is dangerous.
When Yagen Toushirou appeared, there was something clearly wrong with the man's eyes - shock and suspicion, even though that expression only lasted for a very short time, so short that he almost thought it was an illusion.
The person who is classified as an unknown dangerous person must have seen and come into contact with "Yaken Toushirou" and have a deep understanding of his identity.
Yaken Toushirou analyzed calmly and rationally in his mind. If that was the case, then his target was not Ran from the beginning. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Yaken must have done something big to be targeted here, and this must be related to his current appearance.
He lowered his head and rubbed his chin against Yaoyan's cat's soft fur, "I'm worried about you, Yaoyan."
After turning around in circles in his mind, Yaken Toushirou followed in the footsteps of Ran Toushirou and the others and came to the Armed Detective Agency.
183.
The members of the Armed Detective Agency have different reactions to the Awataguchi family elders who come to look for their relatives and bring them home.
Kenji Miyazawa and the Tanizaki siblings simply sighed: "It turns out that this is really a big family. The brothers have such a good relationship."
After seeing the appearance of Yagen Toshiro and hearing his self-introduction, Oda Sakunosuke took a big sip of coffee and started coughing violently.
"Dazai, Ranpo-kun, what's going on?" Oda Sakunosuke's mind was confused, but he still remembered to ask for help from the two think tanks in the detective agency.
Edogawa Ranpo did not directly answer Oda Sakunosuke's question.
He held a blue glass ball, which he had taken out of a bottle of soda, and pointed it at Yakugen Cat, looking at him through the refracted colorful light. Then he snorted and turned his head away awkwardly: "You are such an idiot. We are both Yakugen Toushirou, but only a big idiot like you can end up in such a miserable situation."
The information revealed by Edogawa Ranpo obviously did not answer Oda Sakunosuke's question, but made his mind even more confused. "Wait, what does Ranpo-kun mean by 'we are both Yagen Toushirou'?"
The detective members who were listening also realized that something was wrong. Naomi Tanizaki tapped her chin, her teardrop mole shining seductively under the fluorescent light: "Looking at the reactions of Mr. Odasaku and Mr. Ranpo, could it be that Yakuken-kun looks exactly like the Yakuken who has now turned into a cat, and they still use the same name?"
"Eh? If you think so." When Tanizaki Junichiro heard his sister's words, he subconsciously connected it to the historical drama set in the Edo period that he had watched at home in the past few days. Although the drama was advertised as a historical drama, it was actually a melodramatic romance drama.
"In the past, big families would train twins to be the existence of light and shadow. The 'Son of Light', as the family heir, lived a good and comfortable life. As an abandoned child, the 'Son of Shadow' not only had no identity, but the family would not record such a person. He had to enter some kind of assassin training camp from a young age, be brainwashed, and do a lot of killing training. After successfully completing his apprenticeship, he usually did assassinations behind the scenes, dealt with opponents and troubles for the heir, and when necessary, he would be pushed out to protect the 'Son of Light' from assassinations."
"Ah, could it be that what Ranpo-senpai said, 'We are both Yagen Toushirou, but why is Yagen so pitiful', is this what he meant?" Miyazawa Kenji listened carefully to Tanizaki Junichiro's words and frowned, "The rules of a big family, well, I really don't understand it."
Oda Sakunosuke's train of thought was also successfully diverted, and he nodded and began to ponder.
"...Wait, that's not the case!" Rando Shiro quickly stopped him.
The Awataguchi family was shocked by the speculation of the Armed Detective Agency members, and only reacted after seeing the strange expressions of the people one after another.
Dazai Osamu, who was watching the show on the side, chuckled and successfully diverted the attention of the Yakuken cat. The Yakuken cat with half-moon-shaped dead fish eyes "friendly" showed him its snow-white cat teeth.
Although Edogawa Ranpo was also watching the show, why did Dazai Osamu make him hate him so much even though they were both there to watch the excitement? Yakuken pinched his paws. It turned out that Dazai Osamu was just a face-taker who attracted a lot of hatred.
Under the threat of Yaken's angry cat, Dazai Osamu explained to the puzzled people: "That's because although Yaken and his men are sword spirits, in terms of their souls, they are just descendants of the sword spirits themselves."
"Well, it's not wrong to regard them as twins. Although they have the same face and name, it doesn't mean that they have the same experiences and personalities." Dazai Osamu's iris-colored eyes were lowered at this time, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.
From the moment he saw Yaken Toushirou, he guessed the relationship between Yaken Toushirou and Yaken.
It's incredible...
Although Yaken Toushirou lived in a warm and beautiful environment, Dazai Osamu quickly deduced his character after meeting him. Yaken Toushirou was more rational than emotional. He could not do what Yaken did to strangers and people who had nothing to do with him. It was not that he was selfish and did not dare to give, but that Yaken Toushirou's emotions were all on the people he loved around him. He would only make concessions and sacrifices for his relatives.
On the other hand, Yao Yan had suffered so much pain and suffering, but as long as there was a drowning person next to him, he would reach out and pull him up without hesitation. For the people he knew and loved, he was unreserved and willing to give everything he had.
Sure enough, even though they are both gods, Yao Yan is still a unique existence.
Dazai Osamu couldn't help the upward curve of his lips.
If Yakuin knew his thoughts, they would definitely look at him in disbelief. Is this person really Dazai Osamu? How many layers of beautifying filters must he wear to be able to see him as the holy father with golden light shining behind him? Dazai Osamu himself must have been fooled by his own brain if he still firmly believed this.
"That's right. Our Sword Master's original spirit is too powerful. The fragile world cannot withstand the frequent use of powerful forces. Only by splitting it out can the world run," Ichigo Ichijin confirmed Dazai Osamu's words and explained with a smile, "The number of split spirits is countless. Generally speaking, in order to avoid, a family doesn't have duplicate sword masters. Yakuken is a special case."
"Tsk," Edogawa Ranpo made an unhappy sound. He pouted and looked at the cat still nestled in Yaken Toushirou's arms. "The government management over there is not good either. Otherwise, how could Yaken encounter such a thing?"
Damn it... The detective didn't feel sorry for him at all. This was just caring for his little friend.
The atmosphere was inexplicably stagnant, and the members of the Armed Detective Agency didn't know what to do when they saw the Awataguchi family exuding a depressed atmosphere due to Edogawa Ranpo's words.
No...are you going to play the boring game of "One, Two, Three, Wooden Man" where you glare at me and I glare at you because of this inexplicable brain-filled setting?
Yakuken helplessly jumped out of Yakuken Toushirou's arms and ran to comfort his fellow detective.
Really, he's already 26 years old, and he's poking people's scars (although it's just because of the game character settings, it doesn't really exist). What's the difference between him and a naughty kid? It's too childish.
Edogawa Ranpo also understood what Yakuken Cat meant, and became even angrier. What? Didn't Ranpo-sama do this for you?
But before he could say anything angrily, he felt a tingling, warm sensation on his face.
Edogawa Ranpo opened his eyes that were like spring willows in the distant mountains, and the anger and depression in his heart disappeared, "…What is this? You are relying on your current state to sell sympathy, huh."
"Mee——" Yao Yan narrowed his eyes and shook his ears happily, but it works, isn't it?
The Awataguchi family on the side were jealous, not only because of the kiss and licking that Yakumi had just given to Edogawa Ranpo, but also because of the smug look that Edogawa Ranpo had given them.
Damn it, they actually used this trick to deceive Yakuinni/Yakuin’s friends!
Just when the atmosphere was getting weird again, the door of the office was pushed open by Yoseno Akiko.
"Ah, what are you guys doing? Are you discussing the cherry blossom viewing trip tomorrow?"
No matter how the day goes, the travel plans for the next day are indeed exciting.
The author has something to say: Happy 520, today is also my birthday (like on my ID card!)
There will be more updates today, but the time may be irregular orz I know I am a cuckoo.
