Chapter 96: A Fool Has Good Luck

Chapter 96: A Fool Has Good Luck

"Mr. Ranpo! I'm going out."

"Okay, remember to bring some snacks back."

"Of course you can...but please don't tell the president that I gave it to you..."

"Ha ha!"

Mitsuyo Kakuta, an awesome part-time job at the Armed Detective Agency!

It's only been a few months, but it feels like a long time has passed. With a clean new identity and no more hiding, life feels like a dream.

Yokohama is also very peaceful today! Very good, very good!

Well, let's ask Miss Yosano what she wants. Miss Yosano is currently studying for a doctorate in medicine, even though she's not even an adult yet. We are all very impressive people!

——This person has completely forgotten the tragic treatment he received.

but……

"Ms. Sachiko, what are you doing?"

Edogawa Sachiko, said to be Mr. Ranpo's sister, came to the Armed Detective Agency a month ago. She has delicate and beautiful looks and is very tall. She is the kind of cool and aloof beauty. But the contrast is that she has a very simple and obedient personality, but she can't speak or read, so she can only do some miscellaneous work in the detective agency.

Sometimes when there are female customers present, as long as Sachiko is there, things will go smoothly, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't say anything in this regard.

but--

"Ms. Sachiko——!!!"

Mitsuyo Kakuta used the sprint speed of a 100-meter long-distance runner to snatch the poisonous mushroom growing in the flowerpot from the delicate girl's hand and quickly took it back to her own space.

"You can't eat this, Ms. Sachiko! You absolutely can't eat it!"

Edogawa Sachiko didn't react at all when her mushrooms were taken away from her. She just looked at him quietly, as if waiting for something. When she didn't get what she wanted after waiting for a while, she went to pick poisonous mushrooms from the flowerpot.

Speaking of which, why do poisonous mushrooms grow in flower pots! ! ! Where do the spores come from? !

Mr. Ranpo is the only one who can accurately read Sachiko's thoughts from her emotionless eyes. Mitsuyo Kakuta is often very anxious and tries to strengthen her working relationship with Sachiko, but she always hits a wall.

"Um, Kakuda, she's arranging the flower pots."

Yosano Akiko, who was studying in the medical room not far away, poked her head out and helped Sachiko explain.

"But she put the mushroom near her mouth!!" Mitsuyo Kakuta shouted in despair.

"…Maybe it's a special weeding technique…She wouldn't do that…"

Yosano Akiko knew a lot about Edogawa Sachiko's situation. Not everyone sees the choker as a decoration. She could tell at a glance that the purpose of Sachiko's choker was to cover her Adam's apple.

Similarly, it only took two touches for Yosano Akiko to realize that the person had no heartbeat but was moving. Moreover, her usual behavior is completely robotic, she is not a normal person at all.

Mitsuyo Kakuta is so sweet, the only one in the entire Armed Detective Agency who didn't notice anything was wrong and is actively developing a colleague relationship with her.

The very innocent Edogawa Sachiko gathered the mushrooms and weeds picked from the handkerchief and dumped them into the trash can beside her. He showed no response to the conversation between the two people, moved to another flowerpot, squatted down and weeded quietly and seriously.

"There's definitely something wrong, right?" Mitsuyo Kakuta had a hunch that something was wrong, but seeing that Yosano Akiko seemed normal, he began to doubt if there was something wrong with him. He was silent for two seconds, rubbed his eyes, and suddenly realized.

"I see. Did I hallucinate because I watched the video for too long last night?"

“Is that it? The Backstreet Girls?” Yosano Akiko leaned against the door, pitying his self-deception, and then tried to make amends: “Although they have been performing in Tokyo, I heard that they will come to Yokohama soon.”

"Yes! They are so cute! I heard that they were invited by the Port Mafia, which is a good thing! I'm going to order them!!"

Mitsuyo Kakuta looked innocent and didn't notice Yosano Akiko's stiff face at all.

In this regard, there has been no discovery of any grudge between him and Yosano Akiko and Mori Ogai. He is really terrifyingly powerful.

"...I really can't help it." Naturally overcoming everything, Yosano Akiko's expression changed several times, and finally she curled her lips and said, "Forget it, I got two tickets, and I can visit the backstage."

"Ms. Yosano!! My benefactor!!!"

Mitsuyo Kakuta's eyes were filled with tears, but soon his expression tightened. He activated his special ability to take a look at the time in the space, and his face suddenly became tense.

"The appointment with the magazine is coming up! Ms. Yosano, please email me if you want to buy anything! I'll do anything you ask me to do!"

After saying that, he even bowed respectfully and then ran downstairs.

Yosano Akiko watched him walk down the stairs, tilted her head, and sighed helplessly.

Being so natural, she must be bullied badly outside, right?

But since the Armed Detective Agency is still there, it doesn't matter if it continues to be natural.

"Sachiko, you don't have to work anymore, come over and take a rest?"

Edogawa Sachiko was silent for a moment, stood up quietly, walked into the room obediently, chose a seat in a corner, covered herself with a blanket and closed her eyes.

Although he is a man, he is such a beauty...

Yosano Akiko exclaimed, "It smells so good."

That’s really good. Who cares if the man or the woman is dead? As long as he looks good, that’s enough. And he’s so well-behaved. Should I buy him two more skirts next time?

**

I rushed into the publishing house and found that the editor had been waiting for a long time.

Mitsuyo Kakuta tried to bow and apologize, but the editor stopped her.

"Are you from the Armed Detective Agency? No need to apologize. You didn't know the time, so you just sat here. It's not your fault." The middle-aged man with glasses smiled and said, "Then, can you please show me the manuscript?"

On the white paper handed over were written the words "Meaningless Literature".

**

"Mochi dumplings... these are really delicious, red bean cake, strawberry puffs... they look so sweet, is this really okay...?"

When I walked out of the magazine office, it was already late. Mitsuyo Kakuta was standing on the street corner, muttering to herself and crossing out the memo.

"Ms. Yosano wants pink bandages and a box of markers. A Chinese kitchen knife... this one should be sharper, right? Is there a place to cook at the Armed Detective Agency... Never mind. Oops, where should I buy bandages..."

"The bandages are sold at the second store on the right on the street corner."

"Oh! Thank you! Thank you! That's a great help!"

Mitsuyo Kakuta's eyes lit up and he turned around to look at his benefactor's face, but after just one glance, he was suddenly stuck.

…

His heartbeat quickened, he was speechless, licked his lips repeatedly, and the fingers holding the notebook could not help but tap the leather cover. After his eyes wandered left and right, he finally hypnotized himself -

Pretend you didn't see anything.

Tiaoye Caiju chuckled at this act of covering up one's own faults, and turned her head to look in his direction leisurely.

"He's an acquaintance... Mr. Nice Man."

"...I don't know you."

"The sound of your heartbeat gave it away, thump thump. If it's not fear, then could it be that you fell in love with me at first sight?"

The young man wearing a military cap smiled widely, and with a rather malicious taste, he made things even worse for Kakuta Mitsuyo's tense heart:

"It's okay to confess, if you're sincere..."

"Who wants to confess to you? You are too narcissistic!"

"…I won't agree to that. Hahaha! You're still as funny as ever!"

After being teased, Mitsuyo Kakuta calmed down a lot. He re-checked Jyouno Caiju's outfit. He had been working in the Armed Detective Agency for a long time and was very familiar with the costumes of some forces. He paused, and let the tail of his words float up to the sky with disbelief and doubt:

"You, military police???"

"Is it so unbelievable?" Tiaoye Caiju showed a troubled look, walked up to him and took him forward: "Let the policeman take you to that store?"

"…This is too much! Don't you guys do a political review?!"

He is a criminal who has killed people countless times. Can such a person be a policeman? Is Yokohama crazy or is he crazy? Is there any common sense left in this world? This is unscientific!

**

A few months ago, Tiaoye Caiju found out that she was being targeted.

The one targeting him was a government agency, and their boss was a guy called Fukuchi Yingchi, whom he didn't recognize at all, but after a Google search, he realized that this was the hero.

The original protagonist of countless movies.

“How interesting~”

Sitting in front of the computer, he clicked his tongue and laughed meaningfully.

He accepted the help of the medical psychic sent by Fukuchi Sakurachi and quickly recovered his combat effectiveness. With the assistance of the military and police, he cleared out the underground drug trafficking organizations in Yokohama. These idiots were surprisingly useful if used properly, but this time he was being used as a gun and he was very unhappy.

So he broke the contract.

He was a cadre of a criminal organization, so he didn't even need to consider breaking a verbal agreement like "I will join the military and police." The moment the underground organization was wiped out, Tiao Ye Caiju officially began to flee. However, he didn't know the extent of the power of that "big shot". After hiding for a week, he was caught by the military and police.

Because of the breach of contract, although the Lord Fudi Yingchi tried his best to defend him, he still had to be sent to the operating table for a supernatural operation. A month later, he walked off the operating table, and after a short period of supernatural training, he was incorporated into the hound under the "guarantee" of Fudi Yingchi, half learning and half carrying out missions.

His advantage is his keen five senses, and supernatural powers are something that can be ignored.

This body was transformed into a state where it could only survive through surgery, but Tiao Ye Cai Ju didn't think it was a bad thing. He still believes in the law of the jungle in Yokohama: if someone kills someone, he will also be killed. If you fail, then whatever is done is a matter of course. Since he lost and had nowhere to go in the future, it would be nice to become a hound.

I've never been a police officer before, this is really new to me.

This was his second month working for the Hounds. The work of the Hounds was much easier than that of a criminal organization. The criminal organizations had to investigate the situation themselves, and most of the younger brothers were idiots. Sometimes it took ten days or half a month to complete a task. The military and police are different. As long as they raise the banner of the military and police, many problems can be solved smoothly. For malicious incidents that cannot be solved, he would directly ask the army to use violent force to solve them. He is very professional in this area.

However, he still doesn't care about good or evil. In this regard, he has been questioned many times by his colleagues, but it's none of his business.

It's not like he wanted to be a policeman.

He has been working obediently, shouldn't they be grateful and kneel down to lick his boots and be glad that he is on their side? It's so long-winded, worthy of being a corrupt state agency.

They rushed to the battlefield shouting love, salvation and justice, but they were essentially fools and idiots. They even sincerely admired Fukuchi Sakurachi.

Didn't anyone notice that before the terrorist attack, Fukuchi Sakurachi's arrival would cause time to change? Oh, really no one noticed, how nice, you naive idiots.

But let's stop complaining here, he is on vacation now.

That's the one, the injury leave.

The prisoner was a remnant of a former criminal organization. Seeing that he had joined the military and police, he shouted angrily, "For a guy like you, you should never use your eyes again! Go to hell!"

Then he stabbed him in the eye with a sneak attack.

This had never happened before when we had been committing many evils and crimes. How can I explain that the only good deed I did resulted in revenge?

Although he hardly opens his eyes, eyes seem to be very important in universal values. The hounds were very careful and tried their best not to touch his wounds. After making sure that losing his vision would not affect his combat, the commander gave him a few days off, hoping that he could adapt to the dark life ahead as soon as possible.

In fact, he didn't feel it at first, but when he received the order but couldn't see the notice on paper, he suddenly realized more realistically what blindness meant.

Learn Braille, memorize the map, and be careful on every step.

So that's how it is. From then on, there was no more color and scenery in his life.

Haha, the blind man and the wild chrysanthemum picker are such a perfect match.

Are you blind because you are looking at the sun? Phew, what a cold joke.

After losing his sight, there was no significant impact on his life. It was just the loss of his sight. He was able to use his hearing, which was made more acute by his blindness, to create a perfect world of his own. He walked in the streets and alleys, listening to the sound of wind, gunfire and water, slowly testing every brick and stone of the dark world, and constructing a complete blueprint in his mind.

Then, the keen hearing picked up a familiar heartbeat.

Boom, boom, boom. In fact, the sound of the heartbeat is accompanied by a subtle sound of liquid flowing through the pipe. However, this is not very important. At first, he just felt familiar with it. When that person spoke, he completely understood it.

It's you, you're still alive.

I don't know why, but I felt a little relieved.

As for why I think so... the toy is still alive, isn't that a good thing worth breathing a sigh of relief?

Putting on a smile, he began to pick chrysanthemums in the fields.

**

"…Is this a sex toy store…?" Mitsuyo Kakuta, whose movements were unconsciously controlled, pointed at the store in front of him with a trembling voice and accused loudly: "Will the police take people to a sex toy store?"

His voice was so loud that everyone around him looked over and saw that it was two men. They gave each other an expression that said, "You understand, I understand too." Mitsuyo Kakuta's face turned red all of a sudden, and she wished she could crawl into the ground right there.

Tiaoye Caiju was even more surprised than him, and muttered to herself:

"Ah? So it's a sex toy store? Those useful ropes are sex toys, and they look very high quality..."

"What? Can't you see? Open your eyes and take a look! What did you do with all these things? Didn't anyone stop you? You are obviously a policeman. It's not good to go in and out of places like this so often!"

Mitsuyo Kakuta complained violently. He thought he would be ridiculed soon, but he didn't expect that Tiao Ye Caiju suddenly fell silent.

At this point, Mitsuyo Kakuta also fell silent.

He stretched out his hand and waved in front of Tiaoye Caiju, but Tiaoye Caiju looked at him as if he was a fool and wanted to say something but hesitated.

"……What are you doing?"

"Can't you see it?"

Mitsuyo Kakuta was even more devastated. He looked around, not knowing where to find the pink straps, but he had no way of repaying Yosano's great kindness. Anyway, I have already lost face, so it doesn’t matter if I lose it again. He thought about it carefully, then rushed in and asked for one with a red face.

It’s true, the straps in the sex/toy shops are strong and beautiful, and have a soft and charming property, but they are a little hot.

Rushing out of the store, Mitsuyo Kakuta, who was too socially dead, grabbed the arm of Saiki Jiono and ran away. Saiki Jiono was stunned for a moment, but for some reason she burst out laughing and followed him.

By the time Mitsuyo Kakuta realized that she was still dragging someone down, the two of them had already run downstairs to the Armed Detective Agency. He startled and let go of his hand. Tiaoye Caiju staggered a bit, but he ignored it and continued to laugh until he was shaking. He laughed and patted his wrinkled sleeves, looking very happy.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You guys are really funny!"

Tiaoye Caiju chuckled and tilted his head. He smelled the aroma of coffee and cake and asked openly:

"The police uncle has sent you home. Do you want to treat the police uncle to some snacks?"

"...How can a policeman trick people into going to a sex shop and then ask citizens to buy him a meal..."

Despite this, Mitsuyo Kakuta was no longer afraid of him. He had worked in the Armed Detective Agency for so long that he had become bolder and felt that no matter what, the people in the Armed Detective Agency would not let him be bullied. What's more, he never had any friends in his past life. Although the man in front of him was chasing him, he was at least an old acquaintance.

Moreover, he helped him solve the problem, so he should be grateful.

He turned around and walked towards the cafe, saying:

"Forget it, come on?"

There were several small stairs at the entrance of the cafe downstairs from the Armed Detective Agency. Mitsuyo Kakuta took two steps first, pushed open the door, turned around and saw Caiju Jyouno, paused slightly before walking up the stairs. He frowned slightly but said nothing.

Jouno Caiju ordered a cup of mocha, while Kakuda Mitsuyo didn't like coffee, so she ordered a glass of juice. In addition, there are two plates of tiramisu. The tiramisu here is delicious. The slightly bitter coffee powder and the light wine flavor inside are perfectly blended. After cutting, the ladyfingers are soaked just right, moist and dense, with distinct layers.

It was just a casual question, but he didn't expect to be treated to a real meal. Jyouno Caiju was a little uncomfortable for a moment, but he soon adapted to the situation and continued to tease Kakuta Mitsuyo.

I'm sorry, but Mitsuyo Kakuta is really fun to bully, and this guy with a bad taste can't help it, he absolutely can't help it.

"Anyway, it was this and that and then I joined the Hounds."

He concluded.

"So, what's this and that?" Mitsuyo Kakuta complained one by one: "And, Hound? Are you crazy? You're already very powerful, why do you need surgery?"

Being praised for being so powerful, Tiaoye Caiju slightly raised the corner of her mouth, picked up her coffee, and hid her smug mood.

"And you?"

"After being rescued, he changed his appearance and joined the Armed Detective Agency."

It’s only courtesy that counts, Mitsuyo Kakuta answered obediently. As he spoke, he picked up the fork on the plate that Saigiku Jionno hadn’t even touched and handed it to Saigiku Jionno.

"Don't tell anyone else, it will cause trouble for everyone."

Hearing the subtle sound of wind and the friction of clothes, Tiaoye Caiju paused, then he took the fork accurately and said with a half-smile:

"I can see you're doing something stupid again."

"...I know, I always do stupid things. Because of this, everyone is taking care of me." Kakuta Mitsuyo muttered sullenly, and cast a concerned look on Jyouno Caiju's eyes, then turned away indifferently, pushing the plate with her hand, and the plate slid on the table, making a slight friction sound: "But you haven't opened your eyes, even if you say you can see, you might be lying, right?"

The pink-haired young man's expression became even more depressed, but Tiao Ye Caiju couldn't see it, and he didn't know that this person had changed his hair color and clothes. In his imagination, the young man still had messy black hair, wore a ridiculous anime T-shirt, and looked like a naive otaku.

"Wouldn't it be sad if you couldn't eat because you couldn't see?"

Mitsuyo Kakuta muttered and complained quietly:

"You always say half-truths, that's why I can't be sure, and if you do something stupid, it's because you're always vague."

The metal fork was pinched between her fingertips, feeling a little cold. Tiaoye Caiju quietly breathed in the aroma of the coffee shop, the faint scent of coffee accompanied by the aroma of wine. The inappropriate laughter faded a little, and he turned to Kakuta Mitsuyo seriously, and said to the young man opposite him, who was obviously breathing seriously:

"Indeed, I am blind."

He heard that Mitsuyo Kakuta's heartbeat suddenly changed for a moment. At this moment, he was waiting for the reaction of the young man opposite with interest.

However, the young man opposite said:

"What do you mean blind? This is called visual impairment! Visually impaired people need to be protected. At the very least, blind is better than blind. You are so uneducated!"

Tiaoye Caiju's breathing stagnated. After a moment's silence, she couldn't help but let out a genuine smile.

Here, Mitsuyo Kakuta was still using her poor vocabulary to explain the difference between a blind person and a blind person, as well as the natural preferential treatment that the visually impaired enjoy from the government. He even went so far as to say that people with visual impairments are very strong people. As a result, he saw Jyouno Caiju laughing in a creepy way.

"……why are you laughing?"

With his free hand propping up his forehead, Tiao Ye Cai Ju shook his head helplessly, but the hand holding the fork struck accurately, forking away most of Kakuta Mitsuyo's cake. He smiled maliciously:

"I lied to you."

Jaw-dropping! How can there be such a wicked person! I was fooled again! Kakuta Mitsuyo was angry and unhappy. He held it in for a while and finally could only whisper:

"...Then you, I hope you're okay..."

“Pfft…Hahahahahaha!”

Unable to hold back, Tiaoye Caiju leaned back on the backrest and laughed heartily, her earrings pressed against her face, shaking along with his trembling. It was as if the depression that he had not noticed for days had disappeared in an instant, and he didn't even know why he was so happy.

Ha natural guys are really scary.

"How is it? Are you cured?"

A young man suddenly said.

"Super interesting, how about giving him to our hounds? I'll protect him."

Her hearing detected the target in advance, so Tiaoye Caiju was not surprised at all. She wiped the physiological tears that still overflowed even though she was blind, and answered lazily.

Kakuta Mitsuyo looked up and shouted in surprise:

"Mr. Ranpo!"

"No, I refuse. You don't think that's a good place, do you?"

Edogawa Ranpo sat next to Kakuda Mitsuyo with a carefree look:

"People will be changed by the environment, don't go too far!"
