Chapter 26



Half an hour ago, Armed Detective Agency.

Ishikawa Takuboku just left.

"Um..." Tanizaki Junichiro looked at the people in the room cautiously, he pursed his lips, and was the first to speak, "Should we tell him about these memories?"

His sister Tanizaki Naomi was still on the rooftop with that person. No matter what he had to do, the first thing he should do was to let Naomi come back first.

Moreover, his (Toki no) commission to the Detective Agency was to find memories. Now that he knows these things... then, should he tell the owner of this memory?

Compared to others, Tanizaki Junichiro's attitude at this moment can almost be regarded as very calm.

Everyone in the Detective Agency has a different position. Ranpo Edogawa is the center of the Detective Agency, and Yukichi Fukuzawa is the president and the pillar. The person who cares the most about the Detective Agency is Akiko Yosano, and Doppo Kunikida takes this job as his responsibility and is being trained as the next president.

Osamu Dazai is on the outside.

Kenji Miyazawa, Atsushi Nakajima, and Kyoka Izumi can all be placed in the position of newcomers, and they have only been in the Detective Agency for a short time.

The Tanizaki siblings are still students. In addition to the work of the Detective Agency, they also have their studies to complete. It cannot be said that they don't care about the Detective Agency, but it can be said that the person they care about the most and the person who is most important to them has always been each other.

Can you say that Junichiro Tanizaki doesn't care about Ranpo Edogawa? No, it's just that Naomi was not hurt, so he can still ask this question very rationally.

Everyone knows that memory is something that cannot be stopped by the person who has lost his memory just because they don't say anything. They all know

that no matter what the process is, in the end, that "Mr. Ranpo" will always remember it.

Even if they don't say it now, with Mr. Ranpo's ability, he will be able to "see" it sooner or later.

Dazai Osamu, Mr. Ranpo, and the president are one thing, but no one else can hide it from "Ranpo Edogawa".

This will be a secret that will be exposed with one touch.

Fukuzawa Yukichi can't make a decision.

As for him, if he loses his memory, even if the memories of the past are full of pain, he will recall the past without hesitation.

But this matter involved Ranpo. So Fukuzawa Yukichi hesitated.

—— Fukuzawa Yukichi was never a completely orthodox person who represented absolute justice.

He used to be a government agent and assassin. He killed people for the government. He believed that his sword existed for the peace of the country.

But later, he found that he was waiting for the next killing mission from the bottom of his heart. He found that he was confused about the future and could not see through his own heart. That's why he left the government and even made up his mind not to take up the sword anymore.

But later, when he met Ranpo, he really decided on his own path.

He still wanted to be a righteous man.

However, this justice is not absolute and rigid - just like Fukuzawa Yukichi would accept Izumi Kyoka, who killed 35 people, and would deceive the police and say that Izumi Kyoka was his granddaughter and save her.

He would not rigidly believe that the commission must be completed without any room for compromise.

So the Armed Detective Agency represents the dusk, and the police represent the day.

"Ranpo." So Fukuzawa Yukichi handed the decision to Edogawa Ranpo, who was holding his hands.

No matter what, the object of this commission was originally another Ranpo.

Edogawa Ranpo closed his eyes and didn't know what flashed through his mind. When he opened his eyes again, his green eyes were unusually cold: "Don't take the initiative to say it. If he asks, just tell the truth." "

As for the rest, just use your usual attitude."

After saying this, Edogawa Ranpo nodded to Fukuzawa Yukichi and said to everyone: "I will go find him and take him out for a walk. During this time, you should recover your mood and don't show it too obviously."

"He is not a fragile glass product. You don't have to be so careful."

The intelligent brain consumed countless sugars. The calico cat looked at the dessert box in the middle of the bench and glanced at the stomachs of the two detectives in boyish appearance with shock.

This is not scientific! Why don't you even have a bloated stomach after eating so much!

Thinking of her "master" who would look at the cakes and say sadly that she couldn't eat them because she wanted to lose weight, or that she would gain weight, etc. - I always feel that it's quite hard, Miss Haruno.

"This store is good, let Atsushi remember to buy here next time!" Edogawa Ranpo rolled up the garbage, stuffed it into one of the cake boxes, making full use of the space inside, and then casually placed it at his feet.

Picking up the cat, Ranpo Edogawa replaced himself on it, looked up at the face that looked exactly like his own, and yawned lazily, "After eating and drinking, Master Ranpo wants to go to sleep!"

Shi Wu felt the furry creature that was originally lying on his legs being taken away, and the next second another furry head fell down, with helplessness on his face: "What, are you acting coquettish?"

Ranpo Edogawa muttered a few unclear words, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The calico cat, whose position was taken away, used its claws to hook the pants of the detective who rarely showed his willfulness in front of Shi Wu. After realizing that the other party had no intention of paying attention to it, it jumped onto Edogawa Ranpo's belly to prevent the detective who had just been blown by the sea breeze from accidentally catching a cold and fever. For

a moment, the surrounding environment seemed to be quiet.

The only sound that filled Shi Wu's ears was their breathing and the sound of the breeze blowing past.

The branches and leaves were blown and swayed by the wind. There was no sunshine, but the temperature was not very low. The wind only brought a little coolness, not coldness.

Quiet occasions are suitable for thinking, but because he enjoys this tranquility, Shi Wu is not willing to let annoying things break it all. So he didn't think about anything, and unconsciously recalled the snacks he had just eaten.

In the previous world, he was just going through the motions. In the last world, he had a home-cooked meal.

In this world, he came into contact with many things that he had never come into contact with before - maybe not for the first time, but because he had amnesia, he had forgotten all these common sense of life.

Just like televisions, refrigerators, mobile phones and so on, it seemed like he was coming into contact with them for the first time.

As a result, he learned the most in this world.

The vest instinct made him accept everyone's kindness as a matter of course. He thought that his willfulness was natural, and it was reasonable to be taken care of by others.

Maybe someone will think about the difference between the vest and themselves. This kindness is given to the vest, not to their own complicated problems.

Shi Wu will not complain about himself, and will not think about those meaningless things. Those troubles are meaningless to him. Instead of letting those messy emotions fill his heart, it is better to empty his mind.

He can accept the kindness of others without hesitation, perhaps because he has accepted similar things before.

Shi Wu believes that everyone has his own position and does what he should do. He has never been good at analyzing these things-even with a chaotic brain.

So in this world, is there anything that only he can do?

There is nothing special about Shi Wu except a system-not really, his experience in the last world is special enough.

[You can redeem the file of the alias "Ranpo Edogawa."]

"Huh? Is it possible?" Tokiwa was a little surprised.

[Yes.]

"But isn't it enough?"

[... Half an hour ago, I collected some energy that could not be used to resurrect you, enough to redeem the life of "Ranpo Edogawa."]

"Then redeem it." Tokiwa answered the system, remembering that he had given up the memory of Ranpo Edogawa a week ago and went to redeem the next door Kagemitsu Morobushi.

This redemption was different from the previous fusion of memories. This time, Tokiwa only saw the cold and literal files like text.

In addition to the things he already knew, there were also things that obviously represented the "future" and definitely did not happen now.

Combination? Rat of the Dead House? Book? The Five Decays of the Celestial Being? Kamui—Fukuchi Sakura?

A mess of words flooded into Shi Wu's mind. The brief introduction prevented him from knowing more information, but because of his excellent reasoning ability, he basically determined the order and importance of these things.

They can solve the combination's problems by themselves. The Port Mafia is not a complete enemy. The most dangerous and unknown situation comes from the Five Decays of the Celestial Being.

Because it was just a file, Shi Wu's expression was very calm and he was not affected like last time.

But even if he knew this now, he couldn't tell the Armed Detective Agency directly—for various reasons.

Therefore, Shi Wu could only remember these for the time being.

After sorting out the information given to them by the system, the sky began to darken, and finally Fukuzawa Yukichi came out to pick them up.

It's funny to say that when Fukuzawa Yukichi rushed here, Tokichi and Edogawa Ranpo were already surrounded by stray cats. Even the calico cat Xiao Mi was squeezed in the middle and couldn't be distinguished from other cats.

The two people buried in the cats didn't feel anything, and Edogawa Ranpo even regarded the cats as self-heating heaters. As a result, as soon as Fukuzawa Yukichi appeared, these stray cats immediately disappeared. Edogawa Ranpo, who lost this warmth, was blown by the cold wind at night and sneezed immediately.

After sneezing, Ranpo Edogawa even said angrily, "If I catch a cold, it's all the president's fault!"

Once again confirming Fukuzawa Yukichi's cat-hating physique, Tokichi couldn't help but laugh out loud after Fukuzawa Yukichi tried to touch Xiao Mi but was rejected.

"Mr. Fukuzawa is an idiot--" Tokichi said with a smile.

As a result, when Tokichi said this, Ranpo Edogawa immediately started to speak well of Fukuzawa Yukichi in a hypocritical manner: "Although they are all idiots, the president is an idiot different from those idiots! He is the most special idiot!"

- Well, it seems that Mr. Ranpo disappeared in anger because of the cat heater.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes were filled with a bit of helplessness, but when Shiwu patted his trousers and stood up, he suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the previous and the next.

Fukuzawa Yukichi said, "You did a good job."

When Edogawa Ranpo froze and Shiwu looked puzzled, Fukuzawa Yukichi added, "I mean, the client sent a thank-you letter for the commission you solved yesterday."

During the week, Shiwu was not just playing around. Although Edogawa Ranpo didn't look like it, he was actually the busiest office worker in the detective agency who needed to complete the most commissions. So Shiwu, who was always with Edogawa Ranpo, would occasionally help him.

"You can tell this kind of thing at a glance." Tokiwa answered in a matter-of-fact tone, with a matter-of-fact pride on his face.

Edogawa Ranpo was a beat slower for some reason, and after Tokiwa said this, he said in the same tone: "Yeah - this can be seen at a glance, right? And the president's praise is too slow!"

Tokiwa just thought this was a daily conversation between Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo, and didn't pay much attention to it.

This is also a very simple thing to understand.

The praise that Tokiwa wanted has been overdue for too long, not to mention that the person Tokiwa wanted to be praised was never Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Fukuzawa Yukichi also understood it. But he still chose to say this unnecessary sentence.
