Given their living conditions, there was not much to buy clothes for the children, especially when the ones buying the clothes were two children who lived a very hard life.
Because it is summer now, it is good to have something breathable, dirt-resistant and non-allergenic. Then they bought three sets of clothes, all of which were solid-color T-shirts and solid-color trousers, and they were selling them at a discount price of 500 yen each. Then they bought another coat to prevent rain and cold weather. It was white with black stripes and looked like a white tiger.
Then there are two pairs of shoes, some underwear and socks, a towel and a toothbrush.
Watching Akutagawa walk towards the bedding, Nakajima Atsushi grabbed the corner of Akutagawa's clothes and said, "I can use the ones you guys have used. There's no need to buy new ones. It's too expensive."
Akutagawa looked down at the uneasy Nakajima Atsushi and said, "We don't have any extras at home. We each have two sets, and we rotate them until they can no longer be used. The one you used yesterday was mine, and I don't want to use it anymore."
In the end, they bought two three-piece suits. Because Nakajima Atsushi wanted to buy the same one as Akutagawa, Akutagawa compromised and let Nakajima Atsushi go back and embroider his name himself. If there was any confusion, he would kill him.
"Ah!!!" Nakajima Atsushi looked like he was about to explode.
"Six points of death." Akutagawa felt that it would be better for companions to be more tolerant.
Nakajima Atsushi complained: "...Am I some kind of steak?"
"Tiger steak."
Akutagawa had already taken two steps before Nakajima Atsushi realized that Akutagawa seemed to be joking with him.
He plucked up his courage and went over, holding his clothes and putting his head under Akutagawa's hands, turning himself into Akutagawa's little crutch.
Akutagawa felt his hand rise up, looked at Nakajima Atsushi under his hand, and rubbed his head slightly.
Go grocery shopping and go home...
I met a strange man on my way home.
"Ranpo-sama has discovered your identity! You have to buy snacks for Ranpo-sama to keep it a secret."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked down at the child in the detective costume.
Edogawa Ranpo stared at Akutagawa for a while. "Are you so poor? Why don't you join a detective agency? There's a salary, a very stable salary!"
Akutagawa: Because there were not missions every day, and we had to support six, no, seven children including Nakajima Atsushi's schooling and living expenses, our family was indeed not very well off.
Let's go and eat some robbed people some other night. When he was in the slums, he felt that as long as he had enough to eat, it was enough. Since he entered normal society and found that he had to spend so much, he wanted to rob people.
Nakajima Atsushi was puzzled: "Who are you?"
"Ranpo is the most amazing detective!" Edogawa Ranpo pushed up his glasses and emphasized, "The most amazing!"
Akutagawa pulled Nakajima Atsushi slightly behind him and asked, "What's your purpose?"
"Don't be so fierce. Didn't Lord Ranpo tell you whether you want to join the detective agency?" Edogawa Ranpo looked at Akutagawa with an expression that said, "You really have no understanding."
The one who ended the silence was the white-haired man wearing a haori who rushed over: "Sorry, Ranpo, please don't disturb others."
"It's okay." Akutagawa did not let his guard down.
Ranpo was still shouting behind him, "Are you really not coming? You can work part-time during the holidays, and it won't affect your extra income. It's a very stable salary."
Akutagawa turned around and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness. I have other plans, so I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to accept your kindness."
After saying this, Akutagawa took Nakajima Atsushi away.
Luo Li whispered in Akutagawa's ear: "Do you want to delete his memory?"
"No need. After noticing this gap in memory, they will definitely come back to investigate. They are not easy to mess with." Akutagawa, the combination of the white-haired man and the young detective, also realized who it was -
Armed Detective Agency.
"Next time, Ryunosuke will learn cognitive confusion magic with me! I guarantee that no one will be recognized when we come out!" Luo Li knew the difficulties in Akutagawa's life and said angrily.
"Okay, Luo Li is the most reliable."
"Of course I'm reliable."
After hesitating, Nakajima Atsushi asked, "Is it okay? Ignore what he said."
"It's okay, they're not bad people." Akutagawa carried most of the things, but these were secretly carried with Rashomon. He just put his hand on it: "Let's go home."
"……Um!"
When Akutagawa returned, the elementary school had already finished school. Katsumi and Nobuya happily took the food from him and said, "Such a sumptuous meal. Are you celebrating the new member?"
"Yes, we have new companions." Akutagawa smiled when he saw how happy they were.
But the smile was fleeting, and only Gin and Nakajima Atsushi saw it.
It's still early, so they do their homework together, Akutagawa teaches Nakajima Atsushi, and then when it's almost time, they'll go together to prepare a sumptuous dinner.
Because Akutagawa worked hard to earn money, they didn't include Akutagawa when they assigned housework, but now it was an exception. Since they wanted to celebrate, they should act together.
Akutagawa was assigned to pick vegetables with Yuji, Rin and Nakajima Atsushi washed and cut vegetables, and then Gin, Katsumi and Nobuya cooked, but they still asked Akutagawa for help when frying the meat.
Akutagawa put on his old coat, which was no longer wearable, and controlled Rashomon to use chopsticks to flip the meat in the crackling oil pan.
Although they also want to be reliable adults, the crackling sound of the frying pan is really scary. However, it doesn't matter if it's Rashomon.
Nakajima Atsushi was very envious of this. He heard at the door that he also had superpowers, but for some reason he could not control his superpowers like Akutagawa.
The dinner was sumptuous and they enjoyed it very much. When they all went to do their own things, Akutagawa taught Nakajima Atsushi how to control his supernatural powers.
"Not everyone can use their special abilities freely, especially those who are afraid of their special abilities. Close your eyes and feel Him. He is your other half, your guardian angel. Don't be afraid of Him." This is what Luo Li taught Akutagawa at the time.
