Chapter 51

Ever since the incident with Ikawa Natsu and the other two, the small villa has become particularly deserted, without the previous lively scene.

Akabane Higen was lying on the sofa hugging the pillow, holding the mobile phone in one hand, with a well-behaved smile on his face: "...Yeah, I know!"

"...Okay, don't worry!"

"...Bye!"

He put down the phone, the smile on his face gradually faded, and the sadness returned between his eyebrows.

The person who just talked to him was Edogawa Ranpo, who came to tell him about the current situation in Yokohama and what Fyodor had done, and then reminded him to be careful.

It has been almost a week since he met Fyodor in the coffee shop that day. With everyone knowing it, he finally took action.

Just like the original plot, Fedor still chose to attack Fukuzawa Yukichi and Mori Gugai, but this time there seemed to be a little accident.

The boy pursed his lips, and the tip of his tongue touched the upper palate slightly. He puffed his cheeks, and his dark and shiny eyes flickered with an unknown light. This time, it was not Fukuzawa Yukichi who was poisoned, but Moscato who happened to pass by and accidentally blocked Fukuzawa Yukichi, and then was poisoned and unconscious.

Was it really an accident?

Akabane Higen hugged the pillow tightly, buried his head in the soft fabric, and his voice was a little muffled:

"Fedor, what do you want to do..."

Why did you attack Moscato?

Did you want to lure him out? But he is just an ordinary person, why is he so jealous of him?

"Brother Akabane, what's wrong with you?"

Yumeno Hisasaku opened the door, rubbed his eyes and stood at the stairs. He saw Akabane Higen buried his head in the pillow, and asked in confusion.

After spending some time together, Yumeno Hisasaku has completely integrated into this family, and he is also worried about the disappearance of Akai Kawakatsu and others these days, but Akabane Higen told him that it was nothing serious and asked him not to worry, so he could only stay at home and watch Akabane Higen busying around.

Today, Akabane Higen finally did not go out, but stayed at home, and got up very early, which surprised Yumeno Hisasaku, who had just got up. However, after seeing Akabane Higen's expression and movements, he began to worry again.

He ran downstairs quickly, sat down next to Akabane Higen, looked up at him, and asked nervously: "What's wrong? Did something happen to them?"

Akabane Higen lifted his head from the pillow, his hair was a little messy from the action just now, but his expression was serious. The boy looked at Yumeno Hisasaku seriously, his eyes were very dark: "… ...No, it's about our lives."

Seeing his sudden serious expression, Yumeno Hisasaku became even more nervous, his breathing almost stagnated, and he asked hurriedly: "...What's the matter?"

Akabane Higen looked serious, and under Yumeno Hisasaku's nervous gaze, he slowly uttered a sentence: "Kusaku-chan, can you cook?"

Yumeno Hisasaku:???

"Huh?"

Yumeno Hisasaku's face turned blank because he was too surprised. He looked at the boy in a daze: "...cooking?"

What does this have to do with their lives?

Akabane Higen's face was very serious: "This is related to our lives, especially you, Kusaku-chan."

Yumeno Hisasaku: "???"

What thing???

What does it have to do with him???

"I can't cook either, and you'll be staying at home alone from now on. What should I do if I can't cook?"

Yumeno Hisasaku looked at him even more blankly, and subconsciously asked, "What about you?"

Akabane Higen showed an ambiguous smile, "As for me... I have someone to take care of my meals."

Yumeno Hisasaku was very confused, but he was also a little scared. He reached out and grabbed the boy's clothes, and asked him anxiously, "Did I do something wrong? Are you going to leave me alone?"

Akabane Higen heard this and smiled with his eyes curved, "No, it's just that something very dangerous is going to happen recently, and it's safer for little Hisasaku to stay at home."

Is that so?

Yumeno Hisasaku was still very panicked. He pursed his lips nervously, staring at the boy.

Akabane Higen rubbed his shoulder-length hair until it was as messy as his own, then stopped with satisfaction, but his hand was still on the child's head: "Don't worry, since I said I would take you in, I won't abandon you easily!"

"This time it's really something important, and it's also very dangerous."

"I still have to go and bring my brother back. Little Hisasaku, just stay at home for us."

Under Akabane Hijian's gentle comfort, Yumeno Hisasaku relaxed a little. He loosened his hands that were grabbing his clothes, and then tightly grasped the necklace on his neck: "I will be very obedient."

Akabane Hijian saw his movements and curved his lips: "You can't take off the necklace, no matter what happens, you can't take it off, understand?"

Yumeno Hisasaku nodded solemnly. After so long, he also knew the specific function of this necklace. As long as he wore it, he would be an ordinary child and no longer be troubled by superpowers. Therefore, even if Akabane Hijian didn't say it, he would not take it off easily.

And now that Akabane Hijian said so, he would not take it off easily.

Akabane Higen then withdrew his hand with satisfaction, then propped up his chin and began to think: "...In this case, we should find someone to take care of little Kusaku, um...who should we find..." "

...Ranpo-san can't do it, and Tanizaki-san is a psychic, so he can't do it either..."

He lowered his head and muttered to himself while counting on his fingers. Yumeno Kusaku sat quietly beside him, fiddling with the new doll that Akabane Higen bought for him, without disturbing him.

"...Got it! We can ask Naomi-san to come!"

Akabane Higen clapped his hands and decided it. He turned to look at Yumeno Kusaku: "What do you think, is it okay, little Kusaku?"

Yumeno Kusaku nodded obediently: "Sure."

It doesn't matter who comes, but it would be better if it's someone familiar, so Yumeno Kusaku doesn't have any objections.

After discussing this matter, Yumeno Hisasaku yawned several times, and Akabane Higen coaxed him back to rest.

When he returned to the living room on the first floor, the sun had already risen.

Outside the huge French window, there is a blue sea, the golden sunlight shines on the sea, the sparkling waves are hidden with golden light, and a few seagulls spread their wings and fly across the water, causing light ripples.

Akabane Hitomi walked to the window and looked at the sea outside quietly.

The sea is blue, and the sky is also blue. There seems to be no boundary where the water and the sky meet, extending from the bottom to the top. The sun hangs in the sky, emitting golden light, bringing some warmth to the slightly cool weather.

"It's so beautiful..."

he whispered.

Akabane Hitomi pulled his collar, exhaled deeply, his brows relaxed, and the worries on his face disappeared. He just smiled faintly, and his clean and harmless temperament suddenly disappeared, replaced by a kind of nobleness and arrogance that seemed to be unique to a young master raised in an aristocratic family, and a well-hidden aura of planning and strategizing that was unique to those who had been in a high position for a long time.

In that moment, his temperament seemed to overlap with that of Hirai Wataru. Although he had such a harmless appearance, the eyes of the young man revealed a cold and stern look.

"Asha really understands me..."

"How can I just sit back and watch such beautiful Yokohama..."

Akabane Higen chuckled, and the dominance just now suddenly disappeared. A hint of resentment appeared in his eyes again. The boy's eyebrows and eyes were lively, and his eyes were shining, with the fresh breath unique to teenagers: "Really, you obviously know that I like to watch the sea..."

...

...

In a basement somewhere in Yokohama, Ikawa Natsu, who was slowly flipping through the book sent by Fyodor, paused, and raised his head to look in the direction of Akabane Higen as if he had felt something. There was a faint smile at the corner of his lips, and the words he uttered disappeared between his lips: "Of course, I... know little Higen quite well..."

Here I come!

I was going to post it earlier today, but I was called to dinner when I was halfway through typing. Then I listened to the drunk uncles talking about their romantic affairs in their youth at the dinner table. I was so engrossed that I couldn't continue typing. By the time I continued typing, it was already past ten o'clock, so it was so late (eyes moved).

In short, it was their fault (righteous and confident).
