I don't know how Shiwu got his physique of attracting cats. After a moment of interest, Shiwu sat quietly in a daze.

When he came to his senses, a furry cat appeared on his knees from nowhere.

"Aren't you afraid of falling?" Shiwu naturally touched the cat's dry and soft hair.

This is a domestic cat.

"It's Xiao Mi." Edogawa Ranpo, who saw the cat appear and then jumped onto Shiwu's legs silently, yawned, said this sentence without thinking, and asked: "Shall we go back?"

"Xiao Mi? Ah, it's the one raised by Miss Haruno." Shiwu reacted immediately.

Although I have never seen Xiao Mi in the detective agency, because Haruno Kirako is a serious cat control and can mention her own Xiao Mi every three or two sentences, Shi Wu also left such an impression.

It is a very special male calico cat.

I didn't feel it when I was at the beach, but in fact, after being blown by the wind carrying sea water and the salt water being dried, a layer of fine salt particles appeared on the surface of Shi Wu's clothes.

Even the material of the clothes seemed to have become a little harder.

"Do you want to go back together?" Shi Wu asked the cat in his arms. Then

this cute calico cat didn't know if it understood, but it meowed anyway.

But after they walked for ten minutes, Shi Wu realized that something was wrong.

I always feel that this road... seems, seems, maybe a little strange?

The calico cat held in Shiwu's arms showed a very human helplessness. Who gave Edogawa Ranpo the confidence to let him lead the way?

Edogawa Ranpo didn't know that he was complained by a cat. He happily pointed to a dessert shop in front of him: "I haven't been to this one yet! I feel that there will be snacks that I like!"

"Does this store allow pets?" Shiwu gestured to the cat in his arms.

"It seems not? But it doesn't matter, you wait here for me! I'll go in and buy it!" Edogawa Ranpo added as if coaxing a child: "Stay here and don't walk around!"

Shiwu has always been obedient. Since Edogawa Ranpo said so, he certainly won't walk around.

Just like the fixed NPC that occasionally refreshes in the game, Shi Wu just stayed there for a while, but he didn't expect to hear a familiar voice.

At first, Shi Wu thought it was his own illusion. He was too used to letting his mind go blank, and he didn't deliberately focus on the situation around him.

But after hearing that familiar name, Shi Wu was sure that he didn't hear it wrong.

Because he heard a name.

"Alice~" The man's voice with wavy lines came to Shi Wu's ears from not far away.

If it was just this name, it would be okay. The name Alice is quite common. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but the person who called out the name, the man's name was-

"...Mr. Mori?" Shi Wu murmured softly.

Speaking of which, Shi Wu still doesn't know the full name of Mori Owl. To be precise, he didn't know Mori Ougai, he only knew the name Moritaro. Because Alice called him that.

Because his attention was diverted by Mori Ougai, Shi Wu didn't notice that when he called out this name, the calico cat in his arms looked up and glanced at him.

After spending 24 hours together, Shi Wu fell in love with Mori Ougai. The liking here does not mean anything else, it is simply the mentality towards an elder.

The first impression people give to others is always the most important. Shi Wu got along with Mori Ougai in the previous world, and the other party left a very good impression on him, which made Shi Wu unable to have hostility towards Mori Ougai, the same position in this world and the leader of the Hong Kong underworld.

In the previous world, Shi Wu knew that Mori Ougai was not simple, and this world just magnified this point a little, so Shi Wu was not too surprised.

When you meet someone you know, you should say hello, but the world is different, he is still in a state of amnesia, and he has agreed to stay where he is with Edogawa Ranpo, so Shi Wu just muttered to himself and didn't really have such an idea.

But he didn't know that the cat in his arms was not a real cat.

Moreover, if he didn't go over, it didn't mean that the other party wouldn't come over.

The blonde little Lolita pointed to the dessert shop behind him and said, "I want to eat the strawberry cake from this one!"

"You have already eaten two cakes today, Alice - how about we go to the dress shop next door?" Mori Ogai said in a lingering tone that sounded like a kidnapped child, "That plaid skirt will definitely look good on Alice!"

The two people, like father and daughter, stood in front of Shi Wu and made a deal. One wanted to eat cake, and the other wanted to buy a skirt.

Shi Wu was a little surprised, in a sense.

Although but... was this what Mr. Mori meant? Is this form of Alice referring to Loli?

He only saw the fatherly side of Elder Mori-in, but not the side of Leader Mori that was like an AI. If it weren't for the familiar voice and the temperament that was difficult to completely conceal, Shi Wu would have thought he had recognized the wrong person.

So Mr. Mori - has such a side. Knowing that Alice is equivalent to another Mori Owl, Shi Wu still chose to accept the elder's little hobby.

Just after Mori Owl and Alice agreed on what cakes and clothes to buy, they passed by Shi Wu who was standing at the door of the dessert shop, as if they didn't know each other at all.

At this time, Edogawa Ranpo came out with snacks in his arms, but the smile on his face disappeared immediately when he saw Mori Ogai. He opened his eyes and glanced at Mori Ogai and Alice beside him, then grabbed Shi Wu and left without saying a word.

Mori Ogai, who originally looked like a decadent uncle, looked at the backs of the two people leaving through the glass door, with a slight smile on his face.

Alice folded her hands: "Rintaro is plotting against others again."

...

"Do you know him?"

"Do you know him?"

After leaving Mori Ogai, the two people asked the same question almost in unison.

Edogawa Ranpo puffed up his cheeks and answered first: "He is the leader of the port mafia, a very dangerous guy."

"He is not a good person! You are not allowed to get close to him!" The detective from the Armed Detective Agency emphasized.

Edogawa Ranpo answered, and then it was Tokiwa's turn. Tokiwa thought about it and then said "Oh".

It seems that there is nothing to say, as he is still in the process of amnesia. The one who knew Mr. Mori was Dazai Tokimura, so what does that have to do with him, Edogawa Tokimura?

But Edogawa Ranpo seemed very dissatisfied with his answer. So Tokimura began to change the subject, "What did you buy?"

Although he already knew the answer roughly by smelling the smell.

"I bought a lot! And there are many new products that I have never eaten before!" At this, Edogawa Ranpo became interested.

"If you always go to the same few stores, you will get bored sooner or later!" In fact, you won't.

"So you should always pay attention to the new products in the new stores and old stores!" You are just looking for an excuse to eat more desserts.

When talking about desserts and snacks, Tokimura became the mature one.

When they were sure that Ranpo Edogawa was lost and couldn't find his way back, they didn't contact anyone. Instead, they sat on a bench in an unknown park and started to eat the cake and other snacks they had just bought.

Ranpo Edogawa, with cream all over his mouth, said, "At worst, we can let Xiao Mi take us back!"

Xiao Mi, the calico cat, lay on Shi Wu's legs and raised his eyes lazily.

Shi Wu bit the plastic spoon, and the glutinous rice skin outside the daifuku stuck to his upper palate a little, and the rich cream and sweet strawberry filled his mouth again.

After swallowing the one in his mouth, Ranpo Edogawa fed him another snack.

This time there was the smell of cherry blossoms. Shi Wu was slightly stunned: "It's not spring now, is it?"

Sakura-flavored snacks are often highly seasonal and are often only popular in the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom. Other cherry blossom-flavored snacks are another matter, but this...

"This is a sakura cake!" Edogawa Ranpo said in a light tone: "I was also surprised to see it in this store."

"It's not spring now, and the cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet, and sakura cakes are also a kind of Japanese confectionery, which are rarely seen in Western dessert shops. That's why I bought it."

Edogawa Ranpo carefully tested it: "Don't you like it?"

"...No, I like it very much." Shi Wu was about to swing his legs while sitting on the chair, but he remembered that there was a furry one on his leg, so he stopped the action, "It's just that the taste of this is different from ordinary sakura cakes?"

"Well, it looks like it has been improved to better suit the tastes of most people." Edogawa Ranpo analyzed, "Wagashi is too sweet for most people, and Wagashi is meant to be a snack when drinking tea. You need to drink tea to get over the greasy feeling."

- Although that sweetness is just right for Edogawa Ranpo.

"But I don't like this improvement. Isn't sweet bean paste good?" Edogawa Ranpo poked the sakura cake in his hand, "This texture enhances the taste of cherry blossoms, but the sweetness of the bean paste is reduced a lot."

"Since you like it, I'll leave it to you to deal with it!" Edogawa Ranpo handed the sakura cake to Tokiwa, and found new cookie crumbs in the cake box, and "crunched" the cookie crumbs all over his body.

Tokiwa "stared" at the sakura cake in his hand, which had been bitten twice, for a long time before slowly putting it into his mouth.

Only the calico cat lying on his lap noticed that when Edogawa Ranpo was holding the cookie, his green eyes glanced at the sakura cake in his hand.

Sakura mochi is a kind of Japanese confectionery. This is already a piece of information.

Japanese confectionery is closely related to Japanese tea ceremony culture, and those more traditional families tend to pay more attention to it.

It's too obvious, and this guy (Tokiwa) has no intention of covering it up at all - or he himself didn't notice it.

He has a very obvious temperament of a person from an ancient family.

It's not that he was born in such a family, but that the other party must have come into contact with such a person when he was still a child or a teenager, when his own outlook on life and world view had not yet been fully formed.

A person (or family) similar to a traditional warrior like Fukuzawa Yukichi has given him (Tokiwa) a similar color.
