Ranpo Edogawa is willful and troublesome most of the time, and he has not changed himself for decades. But there are always exceptions.
For example, Fukuzawa Yukichi, Fukuzawa Yukichi, and Fukuzawa Yukichi.
But it can never be denied that Ranpo Edogawa's view of good and evil is different from that of ordinary people. Just like the incident in which Nakajima Atsushi was captured by the port mafia some time ago, if it weren't for Fukuzawa Yukichi's words, Ranpo Edogawa didn't want to deal with it at all.
If it wasn't Fukuzawa Yukichi who picked up Ranpo Edogawa that year, as long as he could solve Ranpo Edogawa's doubts about the world and make him realize that he is different, then anyone would become the most special person in Ranpo Edogawa's heart. That
person doesn't necessarily have to be Fukuzawa Yukichi.
But there are no ifs in the world. In this world, it was Fukuzawa Yukichi who did this, so he became the most special and important person to Edogawa Ranpo.
Similarly, the other self that appeared in front of him was also an exception.
In the eyes of others, Edogawa Ranpo would willfully demand everything, but in front of Tokiwu, compared with the usual detective - at this moment, Edogawa Ranpo is simply a mature and stable brother.
He will restrain his temper. Although he will still remain willful, this willfulness is only for other people in the detective agency, and he will never throw these on Tokiwu.
Tokiwu also accepted this kindness well, and the vest instinct allowed him to accept this special treatment as a matter of course.
No matter what Edogawa Ranpo wants to do, he will first ask Tokiwu's thoughts - even if this inquiry is a little different from that of ordinary people.
The communication between the two detectives is not something that ordinary people can easily understand.
But this time, Edogawa Ranpo directly skipped this step, and directly grabbed Tokiwa's hand and pushed him back into the scope of the detective agency.
If Edogawa Ranpo had asked, Tokiwa would not have disagreed, but compared to the not-so-spacious room, he now prefers to get some fresh air on the rooftop.
He noticed this difference from usual, but he didn't take it to heart.
Blindness will eventually cause a kind of lack of clues. For other things, Tokiwa can make up for it through sound perception, but the color and the capture of other people's expressions are ultimately what a blind person cannot do.
Ishikawa Takuboku's special abilities are mostly manifested in "seeing".
Without this clue, Shi Wu could barely understand Ishikawa Takuboku's ability, but he couldn't make a complete analysis.
Because he lost his vision, Shi Wu couldn't even see other people's expressions, and he realized that his own expression was a little different from usual through the glass that could reflect his own image.
Memories are always something that makes people deeply immersed. Especially for what happened at that time, Shi Wu was not a bystander, he was the "protagonist", and it was only a little over a week. When he didn't realize it, Dazai Osamu's vest still had an impact on him.
Simply put, Shi Wu accidentally leaked the number.
Those in power are confused. If Shi Wu is given a little more time, he will react, but the time is too short now.
So being led by Edogawa Ranpo, Shiwu's thoughts have not changed yet, and his temperament that is very similar to Dazai Osamu has not been completely eliminated. In this situation, he asked: "What did you see?"
"Not a very good memory." Edogawa Ranpo told the truth, but he added at the end: "But it's not something very important."
- This is clearly the evaluation that Shiwu himself said just now.
Shiwu was stunned. He didn't expect Edogawa Ranpo to react like this, but he couldn't find anything wrong, so after saying "oh", he kept silent.
With such a pause, his temperament that accidentally misjudged also returned to the usual feeling of a detective.
It was like pushing a person back from the darkness to the dusk.
It's not too bright, not as glaring as the sunlight during the day, but it still has a light that won't hurt or scorch people.
However, as he walked, Shi Wu suddenly realized that this was not the way to the detective agency, but a staircase all the way down - Shi Wu was not directionally impaired, but Vest was.
With Edogawa Ranpo's IQ, as long as he wanted, he would remember how to get there with just one look. It's just that he doesn't want to do such a tedious thing, and it's enough to leave it to other people.
Shi Wu can't see, so he will be more sensitive to changes in the outside world and will pay more attention to changes in his location.
He will remember where he has been and how to get back.
- However, this is what he will do in the first few days. Later, he was always being led by Ranpo Edogawa, and even if it was just the short distance to the rooftop, Ranpo Edogawa would never let him go alone.
Therefore, Shi Wu abandoned his own enviable brain and completely handed the job over to Ranpo Edogawa.
After all, to be honest, although he himself is not a road idiot, thanks to the vest, he found that normal reasoning would not make him tired, but remembering the way made him more tired.
He was relieved that he didn't have to do this job himself.
Shi Wu never asked Ranpo Edogawa where we are going. This is a trust in Ranpo Edogawa's previous promise to be his eyes and reward.
However, it’s okay within the detective agency, but is it really okay for the two of them to go out alone?
Facts have proved that it doesn't matter.
Usually, Edogawa Ranpo likes to run around. When he can't find the way, he can just call the detective agency.
Besides that. At the moment, there are probably not many people in the detective agency who want to see Shi Wu.
It's not that he hates Shi Wu, it's simply... after seeing such a memory, who else except Edogawa Ranpo can treat this "Mr. Ranpo" with a normal attitude?
Even Edogawa Ranpo himself can't do it.
Not to mention other things, just the sentence "Why don't you compliment me" - this childish words easily made Fukuzawa Yukichi fall into silence.
After all, Edogawa Ranpo is the kind of person who would do things she didn't want to do because of a compliment from Fukuzawa Yukichi.
No one dared to think about the meaning of those memories.
Shi Wu didn't know where Edogawa Ranpo was going to take him, but it felt good to be led by the hand.
And usually Edogawa Ranpo always talked to him with a smile, so he didn't feel much, but holding him silently like this, he even felt suffocated and annoyed - it seemed that someone had done this a long, long time ago, so long ago that even after Shi Wu recovered his memory, he would not be able to easily remember it.
At that time, the person who was holding him was angry, not only with him, but also with himself.
But even though he was angry, he still held his hand tightly, very tightly and very hard. Obviously, all he said was bad words, but he never let go of his hand.
Shi Wu's mouth curled up slightly, he couldn't see it, but he still fixed his "eyes" on their clasped hands.
That hand seemed to be more childish, but not delicate, with a thick rope (although his own hand was not much bigger), but it was such a slender palm, but it could bring him endless sense of security.
The palms of Ranpo Edogawa are not that broad now. He has never done heavy work, and there is no rope in his palms. The appearance of a young man cannot bring him this kind of superficial stability. But it also gives him this sense of security.
"Brother..." Shi Wu moved his lips and shouted silently without even realizing it. However, Ranpo Edogawa, who had his back to him, did not notice this.
And this inexplicable throbbing from the heart only appeared for a moment at this time and dissipated easily. When Shi Wu wanted to catch it, he could no longer find the feeling just now.
"We're here!" Ranpo Edogawa suddenly stopped. The silence between the two was broken at this moment.
As a port city, the sea can be seen almost everywhere, as long as it is not in the middle of a crowd of buildings or in a special terrain like Leibo Street.
The location of the Armed Detective Agency is easy to see, and the sound of merchant ship whistles can be heard frequently.
Because they can see it at any time, they do not think that such scenery is so special. Only when there is something missing will people deliberately emphasize it.
So this is the first time - it should be the first time. At least it is the first time since he lost his memory.
This is the first time that Shi Wu has been so close to the sea.
This is different from the feeling of standing on the edge of the roof and sensing the outside. The salty smell of the ocean hits his face.
Edogawa Ranpo took Shiwu to sit down - Shiwu was not sure where this place was, but he could feel through the wind that the height of the sea water was not far from the ground.
His feet had no place to land, suspended above the water, and the waves seemed to easily wet his shoes.
If you don't model the scene at this moment, it feels like sitting on a stone standing in the middle of the sea.
This is a very dangerous place, there is no railing protection, and there are few people passing by.
Not to mention that Shiwu was originally blind.
But the two people present didn't say anything about it.
Shiwu even bent down boldly and touched the slippery sea water with both hands.
"Actually, I wanted to take you to make a sand pile." Ranpo Edogawa fell on his back and suddenly said, "But it's too far there, and Ranpo-sama doesn't want to take anyone else with him."
Although this sentence didn't have any special meaning, Shiwu still understood it.
I'm really curious about what you saw now. Shiwu thought in his heart and didn't say this aloud.
What kind of memory could make Ranpo Edogawa feel such emotions? Shiwu recalled the memories of the previous world again, and didn't find anything special happened in it. Shiwu is not the kind of
person who likes to get to the bottom of things. If Ranpo Edogawa doesn't say it, he won't ask.
In the final analysis, it's all his memory.
"Let's go make a sand pile next time? Take everyone with you." Shiwu just replied.
Edogawa Ranpo turned his head slightly, staring at the face that looked exactly like his own, and smiled as if he had confirmed something.
Edogawa Ranpo sat up with a chuckle and said,
"Okay, we've made a deal."
