Chapter 8

"Ranpo-brother?"

Akabane Higen's puzzled voice came from the phone. Edogawa Ranpo looked at the people who were gathered in a circle in front of his seat, with expressions saying "Does Mr. Ranpo have a younger brother?", and turned on the speakerphone unhappily.

"It's me."

"What's the matter?"

"Well, little Higen, I found your family."

Edogawa Ranpo looked at Hirai Wataru who was standing stiffly in front of the table, and his eyes rolled around: "It seems to be my brother-chan." There

was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before the boy's cautious voice was heard: "Really?"

"Is he in Yokohama now? Can I come over now?"

"Ranpo-brother?"

The boy quickly threw out a few more questions. Hirai Wataru listened to the boy's crisp voice, hooked his index finger slightly, and stared at Edogawa Ranpo closely: Stare--

"Come over after you finish your business. He will stay in the detective agency for the time being. Don't worry."

Edogawa Ranpo comforted him, and then he was very dissatisfied: "Why are you so stupid? Why did you let that man get close to you again!"

Ah... yes, Akabane Higen was able to fly back from Italy because of Edogawa Ranpo's help, which allowed him to temporarily escape from Moscato.

But now...

Akabane Higen looked silently at the man who was cutting the cake beside him. After receiving a puzzled and ambiguous look from him, he immediately retracted his gaze: "Sorry, I will solve it!"

Edogawa Ranpo was still a little dissatisfied, but looking at Hirai Wataru's expression, he muttered something, "Hey, do you want to say something to little Higen?"

The other end of the phone also became quiet, as if he knew what was happening here.

Hirai Wataru clenched and loosened his fists several times, and finally took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry."

"Hizumi, I'm sorry."

All he wanted to say was sorry.

All he could say was sorry.

Since the day he recovered his memory, he only wanted to say this to him.

"...It's okay." A smile appeared on Akabane Hizumi's face, "It's okay."

Because I know that my brother will definitely come to find me.

Hearing his words, Hirai Wataru pursed his lips even tighter, and he didn't say anything else.

Edogawa Ranpo chatted with Akabane Hizumi for a while before hanging up the phone.

"Okay, then you can stay in the detective agency without worry!"

After saying that, Ting's eyes moved to Ikawa Xia who was wandering outside the crowd: "And you, you are not allowed to run away, you just know how to cause trouble everywhere."

Ikawa Xia responded with a gentle smile: "Of course, I won't leave without armed protection."

After all, this guy Hirai Shizu is! A! Idiot! Ass!

Akabane Hitomi hung up the phone and happily tasted the new small cake made by Moscato.

"Hmm... This tastes delicious!" His eyes lit up, and he turned his head and fed Moscato a bite.

Moscato held his waist with one hand and held the cake with the other hand. He lay on the sofa, bit off the cake he handed over, and thought for a moment: "It's a bit too sweet."

"Oh, no."

Letting go of his waist, Moscato pinched his cheek instead: "Too sweet, not good for teeth."

Akabane Hitomi's face drooped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said sullenly: "Okay."

He didn't want to go to the dentist again.

Polo Cafe——

"Sir, what would you like to drink?" The blond-haired and dark-skinned waiter looked at the customer with a smile on his face, and no one could see the gritting of his teeth under his smile.

Moscato?

Why is he here?

The silver-haired man flipped through the menu casually, "Let's have the signature one."

He pointed to the small cake on the menu, pretending not to see Amuro Toru's cold eyes.

"Okay."

Amuro Toru squeezed out two words from his teeth, and whispered: "Moscato? What do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Moscato looked at him strangely: "Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes? Can't I just come here to eat something?"

He suddenly realized and put on a smile on his face again: "Or... Bourbon has become accustomed to me like that?"

Amuro Toru: ...

He didn't want to deal with Moscato anymore, turned around and left.

No matter what Moscato wanted to do today, he would not let him get what he wanted.

"Tsk."

What? Bourbon just likes to think wildly.

Moscato continued to cast his gaze on the street outside, holding his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.

There was a sound of wind chimes at the door.

Akabane Hijian frowned and walked straight towards Moscato.

"Where are the things?" he asked as soon as he sat down.

Moscato smiled and pushed the USB flash drive in his hand to the middle of the table. When Akabane Hijian's hand just put on the USB flash drive, he suddenly reached out and pressed it.

Akabane Hijian looked up, only to see Moscato tilting his head and blinking at him ambiguously:

"Well, I helped little Hijian so much, shouldn't little Hijian give me something in return?"

"Then I don't want it."

Akabane Hijian said coldly. Anyway, it's not like he can't recover the data, he just hasn't contacted anyone yet.

Damn it, he must not let him know who blew up his laboratory abroad. When he finds out who it is, he will definitely kill him!

Akabane Hijian thought angrily.

Mo·Just had someone blow up the lab·Innocent face·Scato: What?

He wanted to take his hand back, but it didn't move.

"Hey, I just learned some new Italian desserts, and I'm learning to make Japanese food recently."

Moscato was not in a hurry and slowly raised the stakes.

Seeing the struggle on the face of the man opposite him, he loosened his hand and said, "I'm just staying at Kohimi's house temporarily. I'll move out when I find a suitable house."

Akabane Higen quickly withdrew his hand and glared at him angrily. Who knows when he meant by "finding a suitable house".

Damn, this man is too greedy!

He climbs in through the window every night, and he still wants to live here openly!

Moscato, who saw this from his face, didn't say anything, but looked at him with a smile: "Let Kohimi think about it."

If he doesn't agree, he will take other measures.

Thinking of what he did to the original body in Italy, Moscato licked his lips, ah... what should I do, I'm so looking forward to it, please reject me, little Hina.

Akabane Hina glanced at him with her head down: "Okay."

"Sir, this is the cake you ordered."

Amuro Toru put the cake on the table and looked at the listless Akabane Hina, "Long time no see, Akabane."

"Mr. Amuro."

Akabane Hina waved his hand as a greeting.

Seeing that he didn't want to chat, Amuro Toru went back inside, but his eyes were always observing this side.

Moscato pushed the cake in front of Akabane Hina, propped up his face, and watched him with soft eyes turn his grief into appetite and buried his head in eating the small cake.

What is the relationship between Akabane Hina and Moscato?

Is it really just that kind of superficial relationship?

Toru Amuro was thinking while working.

Why did they meet here? Does the organization have some other conspiracy?

He glanced over there, and his hands that were working suddenly froze.

The silver-haired man had a gentle and harmless smile on his lips. He looked at the boy opposite him, and his eyes were full of tenderness and doting.

This kind of look...

Toru Amuro was secretly shocked in his heart. He recalled the scene of his previous communication with Moscato. Sure enough, there was a clue at that time.

Is this the relationship...

But is Akabane Higen a member of the organization?

Although it may be because of Akabane Higen that Moscato did not expose them as undercovers, it does not rule out that Akabane Higen himself is a member of the organization, and Moscato just has other conspiracies.

Amuro glanced at the blond young man who was reading a newspaper in another corner and gave him a soothing look.

Morofushi Kagemitsu, who was reading the newspaper, opened his mouth and thought worriedly, but, Hiashi really has no vigilance at all, why did he agree to Moscato, this is very dangerous.

Hiashi: Which bastard blew up my laboratory!!!

Moscato (innocent face): Don't worry, little Hiashi, I have found all your experimental data for you.

Finally, I can go home for the holiday!
