Chapter 50 A Second Blossom
In the kitchen, the girl apologized to Yuya: "I'm sorry, Ranpo's request was a bit unreasonable."
"It's nothing. By the way, are you Yosano Akiko?"
The girl with the butterfly hair clip in her hair paused for a moment, then asked, "You know me?"
"I came here at the request of my classmate Shoko. She wants me to check if the place you're staying in is illegally employing child labor."
The girl's gaze softened instantly: "It's Shoko... I'm here now, and I'm doing quite well."
The only sound in the kitchen was the boiler burning.
In the office just now, the childish detective Edogawa Ranpo stood on the table and looked down at Xia Youjie with an absolute sense of superiority.
"I am Edogawa Ranpo, a world-class detective."
"The best detective, so nothing can be hidden from me."
Xia Youjie thought: It's just a very clever monkey.
Edogawa Ranpo frowned: "I really hate dealing with you. You sorcerers are all brain-dead. You think you can have the whole world just because you have power."
Xia Youjie wore a fake, polite smile, but he had little patience: "So, what do you want to tell me?"
"I'm warning you—don't hurt Yuya."
Xia Youjie looked at him as if he had heard a joke: "Me, hurt Youye?"
"It's all of you, not just you—that madman Gojo Satoru, the Mafia leader Dazai Osamu, plus you, all three of you."
Edogawa Ranpo stood with his hands on his hips, looking aggressive: "Mental harm is also harm, and making things difficult for others is also harm. Don't think that Yuya only suffers harm when he bleeds or gets injured."
“If you continue to act recklessly, I will not stand idly by.”
That statement is somewhat incoherent.
In fact, Xia Youjie and Wutiao Wu's rebirth was a time reversal while retaining their memories.
This kind of time travel is hard for most people to detect, except for Edogawa Ranpo, a world-class detective who, despite being a mortal, could rival a god, and he noticed something was wrong.
He easily revealed the truth of the matter.
Out of consideration for Yuya's past friendship, the famous detective naturally had to step in.
Xia Youjie did not take the warning, which was not really a warning, to heart.
"We don't need outsiders to remind us about our relationship with Yuya."
"What reminder?" Yuya, who was carrying the ramen, only heard the last word.
As soon as Xia Youjie saw him, his previously insincere smile instantly became much more sincere.
"He didn't say anything, but this... famous detective reminded me to be careful about my safety in unfamiliar Yokohama."
"Really?" Xiaolu You also believed it. "I made ramen, and since I still had some ingredients, I made a small cake on the side. I've already set the timer, so I can just take it out and eat it when the time is up."
"But be careful not to burn yourself."
He reminded him.
Edogawa Ranpo jumped straight from the table into Yuya's arms: "Yuya—I love you so much!"
"As kind as ever!"
He quickly started eating, his ravenous movements and blissful, squinting expression making Yuya smile involuntarily: "You like it?"
That's good.
I came here today just to check on Shoko Ieiri, to make sure she's doing well, and then I can go back.
Wait a moment. "
Edogawa Ranpo, holding a bowl of ramen, gestured angrily to the right. Yuya followed his gaze and saw a brown folder.
He tentatively picked it up: "Do you want this?"
Edogawa Ranpo: "It's for you."
Yuya opened it.
It is a series of place names.
Yuya thought for a moment, then hesitated: "Is this... the place you recommended for me to travel to?"
Aside from this, he couldn't think of any other reason why there were place names from all over the country.
Edogawa Ranpo yelled at the idiot: "There are so many bad people out there who want you dead, how could I possibly recommend you go on a trip at a time like this?"
Yuya was a little embarrassed: "I misunderstood. Then what are these?"
Xia Youjie leaned over for a look, his gaze hardening.
There are several places on this list that Lu Suo, whom he had been searching for, had frequented.
Edogawa Ranpo glanced at him: "Anyway, someone already knows what this is all about. You should just eat and drink as you please, and when you have time, come and cook delicious food for the famous detective and play games with him. Let those people who have a lot of strength but don't know how to use their brains keep busy."
For the sake of these addresses, Xia Youjie, who was being indirectly insulted, did not take any action against the monkey.
The two of them snorted coldly at the same time, looking at each other with mutual disgust.
Yuya looked left and right, puzzled.
"Thank you so much! I'll come see you again when I have time," Yuya said politely.
"when."
"ah?"
"When do you have time?" Edogawa Ranpo tried his best to appear not very expectant. "I haven't received any requests lately, so I'm fairly free."
Yuya Kojiro felt that he should have some experience in dealing with cat-like people.
Although he had only been being polite, the other person had clearly taken it seriously. If he said he was busy now, they would definitely make a scene.
He thought for a moment: "Would the day after tomorrow morning be alright?"
Edogawa Ranpo looked up at the sky and down at the ground: "I don't care. If you want to come, then come."
The slight upturn at the corners of her mouth betrayed her true feelings.
As Xia Youjie walked out of the Armed Detective Agency, he looked up again.
When I turned my head, I saw that Yuya Oguri had a thoughtful expression on his face.
What is Yuya thinking about?
“I was thinking… is it because cat ears and a cat tail are so attractive to people?” Yuya’s tail swayed gently behind him. “I feel like I’ll meet people who are inexplicably enthusiastic.”
This has never happened before.
“Even without these, we would still be very enthusiastic, and the object of our enthusiasm would be Yuya himself.” Xia Youjie couldn’t help but grab his tail, and a tingling sensation rushed straight to Yuya’s brain.
Slightly bristling, Deer Yu jumped away: "I told you not to grab my tail like that!"
Xia Youjie looked innocent: "I really couldn't help it."
The way it sways back and forth really looks like it's enticing someone to touch it.
Yuya cautiously distanced himself from Xia Youjie, who, unperturbed, walked behind him.
One meter away.
Because he was walking behind, his gaze became even more unrestrained.
Yuya, who was walking in front, felt the burning gaze on him, as if it had scalded him, and his buttocks and legs were being harassed by an invisible force.
"You go first."
Xia Youjie obediently walked in front of Youye, and only then did Youye feel much more comfortable.
Yuya~ In the 8 hours, 57 minutes, and 36 seconds I was gone, did you think of me~
The large white cat teleported behind Yuya, picked him up, and spun him around twice in the air: "I've thought about you 1281 times!"
With her legs off the ground, Yuya, spinning around like a doll, said expressionlessly, "I didn't think about you. And put me down!"
He kicked hard, but Gojo Satoru easily dodged it: "It's been a long time since we last met, give me a passionate and fiery reunion kiss!"
As he spoke, he asked for his family.
A hand reached over from the side and tightly covered Gojo Satoru's mouth: "Satoru, you've only been gone for less than half a day, there's no need for 'long-awaited reunion.' Did your PE teacher teach you Japanese when you were a kid?"
Gojo Satoru put Yuya Kojima down on the ground and said dismissively, "Oh, isn't this Jay? I didn't see you just now."
Yuya Kojima, still furious, kicked Satoru Gojo: "Why did it take you so long to get your withdrawal papers processed?"
"Oh, it took a little longer because we still had to process Shoko's withdrawal from school."
Xia Youjie was also somewhat surprised: "Shoko dropped out of school too?"
Gojo Satoru: "When I went back to complete the formalities, Rotten Orange tried to stop me and even threatened me with Glass. After thinking about it, since the three of us were leaving, we might as well take Glass with us."
Yuya Ogawa was surprised: "They agreed?"
"Of course I didn't agree, but when have I ever needed anyone's permission? I just took Shoko with me."
Xia Youjie asked with some concern, "Where's Teacher Ye'e? Did you manage to drive her to her death?"
The four first-year students each possessed extraordinary potential in spellcasting. Shoko's innate Reversal Spell was unique in the entire world of jutsu—and Satoru took it all away.
Even Xia Youjie, who always cooperated with Wu, couldn't help but sympathize with his teacher.
Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.
He and Satoru weren't at the vocational high school anymore, leaving only Shoko. If those old orange girls were to cause her trouble, he and Satoru might not be able to help in time.
As the only possessor of the Reversal Spell in the world of sorcery, Old Orange would certainly not kill Shoko, and would do everything in his power to protect her.
but……
Gojo Satoru waved his hand: "When I left, Noctua was still fine. He said that since there were no students to teach anyway, there was no point in him staying at the school as a teacher, so he asked for leave and went home."
Both Yuya Ogura and Xia Youjie were somewhat surprised: "Did Teacher Yemo say this? Was it him?"
That workaholic teacher, Night Moth, whose dedication and responsibility led his wife to consider divorcing him?
Gojo Satoru shrugged, his face showing a hint of excitement and anticipation. He lowered his voice and said, "It seems that Mr. Yagami's wife said that if he doesn't go back, he'll never see his daughter again."
"As soon as we left, Teacher Moth simply went home too."
"Does Teacher Moth have a daughter?"
Gojo Satoru put his hands behind his head: "There's one, this year..."
She must be three years old by now. Sometimes when I go to his office, I see him staring blankly at a picture of his daughter.
Yuya: "Then Mr. Moth must really like his daughter, right? Why doesn't he stay home more often?"
“He didn’t say it, but I can guess. It’s common for sorcerers to die in battle. Rather than letting his daughter depend on him and then lose her someday, it’s better not to get too emotionally involved in the first place. Besides, his daughter is an ordinary person with very little sorcery.”
"If we spend more time killing more cursed spirits, the child will be a little safer—that's just my guess."
But Yuya felt that this might be the truth.
"Then let's hope that Teacher Nightmoth can save his family this time."
"Thief! Thief! My bag!"
The ordinary-looking motorcycle gang member with a smug grin practically rode right up to people, twisting the throttle with his right hand and snatching any bag he could find with his left.
Hearing the cries of distress, they instead erupted in grating laughter: "Hahaha, trash, all of you trash! If you want it, come and chase after me, come and steal it! Hahaha—"
Just as the motorcycle was about to glide past Yuya's body, Xia Youjie took a step forward and, disregarding the fact that it was a motorcycle traveling at high speed, stretched out his foot.
He kicked the car and the person away.
The motorcycle was kicked, leaving a dent, and flew several meters away, with one of the tires coming out.
Some onlookers were so shocked that they covered their mouths.
Wow, what an amazing high school student.
Super Saiyan?
"Okay, you're under arrest—"
A man with a mole on the corner of his mouth stepped out from the crowd and handcuffed the robber.
He was wearing glasses, glanced at the three of them (including Yuya and Kazuya), and quickly left.
Someone tried to come up and thank him, only to see the handsome white-haired guy suddenly accuse his black-haired companion in the tone of a wife catching her husband cheating: "Jay! What's that on your waist!"
Just now, Xia Youjie's clothes were slightly rolled up, and [Six Eyes] clearly caught the tattoo.
Xia Youjie said casually, in a tone that said, "You finally found out," "It's just a tattoo, why are you making such a fuss?"
"That's Yuya's name."
"Your eyesight is very good."
Gojo, with excellent eyesight, looked at Yuya with red eyes and said, "I want a tattoo too!"
Yuya Kojiro was speechless: "What's the point of comparing these things?"
"I want what Jay has! Jay got one tattoo, so I'll get two!"
"I want to get it tattooed on my face so everyone can see it!"
No matter how fiercely Yuya Kojima resisted, he ultimately had no choice but to take Satoru Gojo to the tattoo shop.
He gave up the struggle: "I'll tattoo my name on him too, anywhere he wants except on his face."
The tattoo shop owner glanced at Xia Youjie, then at Wutiao Wu.
He lowered his voice warily: "Just these two?"
"What? Just these two?"
"Are these your only two boyfriends?"
"ha?"
"If you have other boyfriends, you can bring them all with you, and I'll get them tattooed together."
"By the way... I'm still single. Can I ask you what your secret is to dating so many people at once?"
"roll."
"Alright, I'll go get a tattoo right now!"
