Chapter 116
Ranpo-chan~
The events happened suddenly, the phone call came out of nowhere, and it even carried the spirit of a cat collapsing like a lost cat.
Dongshu rubbed his temples, looking somewhat troubled.
With only ten minutes left, she quickly flew to the scene where the Five Tigers had retreated.
He was at the detective agency.
But the detective agency has been completely destroyed and is unrecognizable.
Fuyuki looked at it a few more times with suspicion, but he couldn't recognize it as the detective agency he had just been brought here to see.
Although not as extravagant as the Port Mafia, which built five buildings, the Armed Detective Agency is still an influential armed force.
The place we are in now has been so destroyed that it is unrecognizable.
horrible.
"Hey!" A soft, breathy sound, though distant, still reached Dongshu's ears as her spreading spiritual energy continuously captured the information.
Fuyuki turned around and ran in that direction decisively.
"Edogawa-kun," she called his name in a soft voice.
The squinty-eyed detective put a finger to his lips and whispered, "Be careful, there are some very perceptive things around. They might hear you, even if it's just—be careful!"
Before he could finish speaking, as if to fulfill his own words, a beam of laser light suddenly fell from above.
Fuyuki reflexively opened his shield fully, neatly blocking the sudden attack.
She frowned as she watched the thick smoke dissipate. This kind of crisis... an attack of this intensity could indeed raze the Armed Detective Agency's stronghold to the ground.
But she didn't understand.
The ground beneath her feet was giving her feedback.
The identity card inside her body emitted a wave of energy towards her.
Fuyuki exhaled a long breath, his body responding to this identity, sending a reassuring breath to the city's will called "Yokohama".
Soon, the restless emotions subsided, and the ancient and dilapidated city fell completely silent, calming all its uneasy thoughts.
It's okay, no need to rush.
To put it bluntly, this isn't an attack targeting just one of His cities.
This is an attack targeting the entire world.
The purpose of outsiders is never that of any one person, organization, or piece of land in this world...
Their goal is to seize the world.
"Tsk, that was really dangerous." Edogawa Ranpo patted his chest with lingering fear, raising an eyebrow at the calm girl beside him. "See? It was so sudden. They always manage to pull a fast one on us when we're relaxed. It's outrageous."
Fuyuki nodded: "...A little."
If it weren't for her spiritual power spreading around her, she really wouldn't have been able to react and deploy her shield the moment the famous detective alerted her.
Such a powerful attack would be so devastating that the bullets would be invisible, and the bullets would be reduced to dust.
Thinking this, she casually wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
She has now dispatched the swords to handle matters on the other side, while she herself is responsible for searching for Edogawa Ranpo, who has suddenly been teleported to another location.
It happened right at the detective agency, which was quite unexpected.
On the contrary, the Five Tigers are not here.
The contractual aura had clearly lingered here the moment before she arrived.
Without the powerful armed forces around them, the two key figures are now in considerable danger.
"Edogawa-kun, we need to leave here immediately," Fuyuki declared decisively.
He quickly led Edogawa Ranpo into the building next door.
Is there anything going on?
She quickly asked the stray dog.
The other person was currently high in the sky, their small arm resting on their beady eyes as they gazed into the distance: "Hmm! Something's definitely up. Just like you imagined, they're densely packed together. It's been so long since I've seen so many come out at once."
【good. 】
Dongshu kept moving, with attacks raining down from above, further depleting the spiritual energy within her body.
With a stiff face, she rushed towards the direction where the contract was located.
The swordsmen are now also splitting up to search for the armed detective equipment that separated the group.
Two distinct auras were evident as they ran rapidly, then stopped and began to converge again.
it goes without saying.
Fuyuki was certain they had completed their mission.
"Wait, wait, don't run so fast. If you get lost, I won't be able to find my way—" Edogawa Ranpo gasped for breath.
He watched with some surprise as the girl in front of him moved so quickly.
Compared to how it looked a few years ago, both its appearance and strength have changed a lot.
Dongshu glanced at him before realizing that she had unknowingly cheated by using her spiritual power to increase her speed.
His guilty gaze darted left and right, then he looked up to meet the other person's eyes at the injury. He seemed to understand, and his beautiful green eyes flashed briefly before closing again.
Without hesitation, she grabbed Edogawa Ranpo's wrist, her voice slightly unsteady due to her weak breath: "...I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
The detective breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to run so hard.
It's true that she suddenly became so immersed in her own world that she couldn't pay attention to her surroundings... It seems that Fuyuki isn't suited to dealing with everything alone on the battlefield.
Were those swords and blades indispensable to her?
A smile played at the corners of his lips.
Never mind, it's okay. Anyway, if anything happens, the world and the city will take care of everything for her.
Edogawa Ranpo followed suit, making an abrupt turn, suddenly appearing on the rooftop, and then suddenly jumping off—?
"Wait! Fuyuki, isn't something wrong with this route?" Edogawa Ranpo exclaimed in surprise. "Why did you suddenly—jump—down—?"
The wind blew into his mouth, forcing the gurgling sound to be drawn out. The height of four floors might not be much for a person with superpowers... but there was a very simple staircase to walk up, and it was safe and reliable.
The thick spiritual energy on the ground formed a cushion, and Edogawa Ranpo felt the pain in his buttocks, his face scrunched up in pain.
As my gaze shifted, I noticed that Fuyuki beside me had the same expression.
"Ah..." Dongshu rubbed his bottom, and his spiritual energy flowed through him, first healing his companions who had been affected by him. Both their bodies and souls were exhausted.
Her voice was light and airy: "I'm sorry I hurt you... For a moment, all I could think about was that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line."
Therefore, she rushed directly towards her target without bothering to figure out the route.
The attacks from above were still dense and relentless, like a dark cloud that had chosen them, only raining down on their heads, while nowhere else could be seen to have been attacked.
Fuyuki frowned, but the identity card he was wearing didn't really have any offensive capabilities.
Should we ask Yokohama to drain the air so the enemy can't breathe...?
This method is completely useless against technological creations that are not living organisms.
"Idiot!" Edogawa Ranpo suddenly shouted, "I didn't say I was going to get injured, I said I was going to jump off a building!"
He stared intently at the bewildered and exhausted girl in front of him: "You have better, safer, and faster methods, but you insist on choosing a way that hurts yourself and others, like jumping off a building."
Given the already limited resources in the forest, the excessive use of spiritual energy—which was barely enough to maintain the shield—was enough to propel himself into the air and create a cushioning effect below the building where he was about to jump.
Judging from his pale face and dazed expression, something was definitely wrong.
This guy doesn't seem to care about me at all.
"Hmm?" Fuyuki blinked. "It's okay, you won't die."
She knew exactly how much power she had left in her body and could roughly estimate what she could achieve, so naturally she wouldn't commit suicide.
However, the outcome of injuring a companion was perhaps unexpected.
"I'm sorry, I won't let you get hurt again next time."
Edogawa Ranpo is also a very important figure in this world, and he possesses quite a few miracles, so he should also be on his protection list for reaching the finish line, although no one has yet appeared with him as their target.
"Ranpo-san!" Suddenly, a clear, girlish voice came from the side.
...I have a bad feeling.
Fuyuki stiffly turned her head to look, and sure enough, there was a girl with pink hair and pink eyes wearing a pink JK uniform. She looked extremely delicate and pitiful.
But this art style doesn't seem to belong to people from this world at all!
"What is this?" Dongshu decisively abandoned his own brain and chose to ask the readily available external brain beside him.
“She is…” Edogawa Ranpo’s gaze faltered for a moment, then he responded excitedly, “It’s Nae-chan!”
He looked at Fuyuki and introduced her meaningfully, "This is my cousin, Kusaka Nae~"
Fuyuki: "?"
Before she could finish speaking, the girl had already run over. With a delicate face, she pulled two blue data spheres from her pocket: "Mr. Ranpo, I just saw them attacking you, so... I just grabbed them..."
Her face flushed with shyness, much like a child who had done something good and wanted praise from an elder. She then added, "You won't blame me for doing this?"
Dongshu squinted, staring at the two blue spheres and those delicate, slender hands.
"Yes, just like you guessed, she grabbed it with her bare hands," the little stray dog sighed, perched on her head. "That guy who suddenly barged in, I didn't even have time to stop him..."
"It's alright, don't worry." Fuyuki could only comfort him for now and quietly observe the situation.
Edogawa Ranpo seemed quite familiar with Kusaka Nae, and upon hearing the girl's coquettish question, he smiled brightly: "Of course—"
The drawn-out sound revealed Kusaka Nae's tension. She held her breath and silently slipped between Fuyuki and Edogawa Ranpo, grasping the famous detective's hand with an expectant look.
"Of course not!" Edogawa Ranpo said, hands on his hips and looking up. "Nae-chan really did a good deed! Fuyuki and I were being chased so badly by them just now, but thanks to Nae-chan's rescue!"
Kusaka Nae looked at her empty palm in less than a second, and stiffly forced a smile back: "Ah... haha, yes, that's right."
"Ahem." Dong Shu coughed, successfully attracting the attention of the two.
She looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared, her face filled with genuine gratitude: "Thank you for saving us, sister. If it weren't for you, we might have died just now..."
Although it wasn't that serious, she did experience some relief from stress because of Nae Kusaka's presence.
"Well, it's okay." Kusaka Nae said shyly, "It's good that I was able to help you, little sister."
She seems easy to get along with.
As Dongshu was pondering, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and she said, "Sister, may I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead," Kusaka Nae said confidently. "There's no problem I can't solve."
After all, her profile uses the "Edogawa Ranpo" template.
Fuyuki pointed behind her, full of doubt: "What's that?"
Black, covered in bone spurs... Edogawa Ranpo?

Ranpo-sama also has one [winking emoji]
