Chapter 27



The arrival of Ishikawa Takuboku didn't seem to change anything. On the second day, everyone still treated Toki with the usual attitude - at least they were trying to treat him with the same attitude as before. At

this time, it was the ordinary members who knew nothing and didn't know that Toki was blind even now, who behaved more naturally.

Haruno Kirako was one of them.

Haruno Kirako and Tanizaki Naomi had a good relationship. Neither of them had special abilities, they were just ordinary members.

But among the ordinary members, only Tanizaki Naomi knew about Toki's specialness.

This also showed that Naomi Tanizaki had some characteristics that made her suitable for the detective club.

Just like now, even though she had already heard from her brother about what happened yesterday, the smile on Tanizaki Naomi's face was as simple and clean as Haruno Kirako's, and she greeted Toki who came in.

Kirako Haruno bowed shyly and said, "Thank you very much! Yesterday, Xiao Mi got lost and I had to trouble you to bring her back, Mr. Ranpo..."

"Xiao Mi is very smart." Shi Wu smiled and stretched out his hand, "So don't hide behind me, my snacks--"

The detective's expression was clearly saying, "Give it to me! Give it to me!"

Kirako Haruno's face was slightly flushed, and she handed the snack box to Shi Wu, "This is a new store near my home, I hope you will like it, Mr. Ranpo!"

It was because of Shi Wu's natural "can see" performance that it was difficult for people to realize the fact that he was blind.

If it wasn't for Edogawa Ranpo who first pointed this out, perhaps there would not be more than one person who knew about it.

People's first impressions are always deeply rooted in their minds. Once they subconsciously believe that this "Mr. Ranpo" can see, even if there are some minor problems and sense of incongruity, they will naturally ignore them and not take these things seriously.

Naomi Tanizaki realized this and couldn't help but admire the strength of Mr. Ranpo. After all, Mr. Ranpo is not her brother, and she won't focus on him for a long time. If he has something to hide, she may not notice it. Haruno Kirako

is a deep cat control, even to the point of being a pervert. And she, who has a sensitive cat detector, doesn't know why, but she feels that Mr. Ranpo, who is jumping and running away in front of her, is also like a cat - cute?

This idea is so rude! After blaming herself, Haruno Kirako turned around and told Tanizaki Naomi what she thought.

Tanizaki Naomi was silent for a while, blinked, and a smile appeared in her deep eyes: "Yeah, Mr. Ranpo does give people a 'cat-like' feeling!"

"Speaking of which, Atsushi-kun is obviously a tiger, but he gives people a more dog-like feeling?" Haruno Kirako said with her head tilted.

This adjective comes from the Internet, and as a female high school student, Tanizaki Naomi can be said to be quite familiar with it. She thought about it, and her tone became soft and sticky, the kind of sweetness that can give people goosebumps: "If this is the case, Brother-sama is actually very similar to both sides~"

Haruno Kirako laughed twice and decisively changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, Xiao Mi seems to like Mr. Ranpo more, obviously I was here first--" Haruno Kirako wiped the tears from her eyes sadly. "Is it because I didn't take good care of her? Or is Xiao Mi dissatisfied with me?" "

...I think your care is already very good." Tanizaki Naomi patted Haruno Kirako's shoulder soothingly.

At this time, another Mr. Ranpo also walked in. He saw the topic of the two girls at a glance and added quite naturally: "No, I was here first!"

Tanizaki Naomi and Haruno Kirako were both stunned, and Edogawa Ranpo had no intention of explaining, and ran to his office.

The world is big, and snacks are the biggest. Edogawa Ranpo is the type of person who will put snacks in the safe before a disaster strikes.

After the two Ranpo disappeared, the others in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

When they are not on a mission outside, Kunikida Doppo and others sit at desks where they can see each other and complete paperwork, just like ordinary company employees.

In short, they are all in the same office. They don't have separate rooms like the president and Ranpo.

When Tokimi walked in, their breathing seemed to stop, and they wondered if "Ranpo" would notice it - no, it was never a matter of judgment. There is no way that

Ranpo wouldn't notice it.

The question is when will "Ranpo" bring this matter to light.

However, they did not expect that their worries seemed to be in vain, "Mr. Ranpo" did not care about their abnormality at all. With such a buffer, they could continue to think about what they should do next.

Naomi Tanizaki had already finished the conversation with Haruno Kirako at this time. She put her hand on her brother's shoulder, leaned her body against him, and then whispered in Tanizaki Junichiro's ear: "Didn't Mr. Ranpo say it? Just be the same as usual. If he asks, tell the truth. If he doesn't ask, don't bring it up - Brother, your reaction just now was too big."

Naomi Tanizaki did lower her voice, but it was still loud enough for Kunikida Doppo and others to hear clearly.

After they reflected on themselves, Dazai sneered and said in a sighing tone: "So I always felt that my sister was more suitable for the detective club~"

It's a pity that Naomi Tanizaki has no special abilities and can only be an ordinary member.

"No, my brother is a very good member. Mr. Dazai, please don't say that." Naomi Tanizaki stood up from her brother and returned to her desk with the documents in her arms.

"Ah, are you angry?" Dazai blinked innocently.

Tanizaki Junichiro smiled awkwardly.

"Dazai! What about the job I gave you!" Looking at Dazai who was holding the chair at an angle where he could easily fall with his legs curled up, Kunikida Dobu realized this belatedly.

"There's no rush for that kind of thing, Kunikida-kun~" Dazai Osamu said casually: "Writing reports is simply a waste of time and life - eh, wait? This is also a new way of suicide!"

"As long as I've wasted enough life... No, forget it, writing reports is just too boring." Dazai Osamu stretched and waved at Kunikida Dopo: "I'm going out, I'm going to study the feasibility of a new type of love suicide, this is very important work, bye~"

"Ah, goodbye... No, that's not right! What kind of job is that! You just want to be lazy! Give it back to me!" Kunikida Dopo was so angry that he broke the pen in his hand.

Unconsciously, the atmosphere in the office became relaxed because of this extremely daily development.

Shi Wu shrank in the office, and Edogawa Ranpo casually fed him the sweet little dumplings, and said casually: "Aren't you going out?"

"Why go out?" Shi Wu asked back.

Edogawa Ranpo then said: "Then don't you ask me?"

"Why should I ask you?" Shi Wu used his unfocused glass artificial eyes to look at the detective in front of him.

He didn't know Edogawa Ranpo's expression at the moment, even if he could guess it.

No one can fool Edogawa Ranpo, on the contrary, once Edogawa Ranpo wants to fool people, no one will not be fooled by him.

But he will never choose to hide and deceive another self.

"I'm not that curious." The most important thing is that Shi Wu knows that what the system grafted are things from the previous world, and he remembers those things clearly.

Shi Wu held up Edogawa Ranpo's face and wiped the food crumbs from the corner of the detective's mouth with his thumb, "If you are willing to tell me, you wouldn't have reacted that way yesterday."

"You understand me, and I understand you." Shi Wu said softly, "If you choose to tell me the truth and you will be unhappy, then wait, I'm not in a hurry."

"How is it possible for a person to have no happy memories in his life?"

Shi Wu narrowed his eyes, and the words he said were completely sincere.

"What you saw, what you saw, is only part of the memory I lost, that is definitely not all."

"Why do you think my past must be bad and unhappy?"

"You feel the same way, right?" Shi

Wu was very serious. He had already determined this matter, and he would not forget it even if he lost his memory.

He was very sure about what his goal was.

"Maybe there were bad things, but that was definitely not the main color of my life."

"I am very happy and lucky. Even if I don't remember, I know there are always people by my side."

Even if I don't remember who he is, who they are.

"Even though I've come to a strange world, I still met you, didn't I?"

"Let's take our time. It's just like a puzzle. You've already found some of the pieces and put them together. But all you found are black puzzle pieces, which don't look interesting at all."

"So let's start looking for the remaining pieces?"

"Believe me, the remaining ones must be colorful and very beautiful colors - just like light and shadow. Although you see a shadow, it's because the sun is behind you."

Shi Wu let go of his hand, but was firmly held by Edogawa Ranpo again.

The blind man smiled, showing a maturity that was inconsistent with his appearance.

"I know one thing clearly. Even if I lose my memory, I will not forget it."

"Maybe I have doubted this before, but now I am very sure."

"-I was born to be happy."

This is also the reason why Shiwu has never worried about the future or the consequences.

He is happy enough, even if he has died once, even if he has lost his memory. He knows that he is very lucky, and not everyone can get the opportunity to be resurrected.

Shiwu has never regretted it.

"...What, in the end I was comforted by you." Edogawa Ranpo puffed up his face.

Shiwu blinked, wet his glass prosthetic eye, and smiled particularly happily.

-Then Shiwu reacted belatedly.

He seemed to... accidentally forget the mission again.

Forget it, as long as Ranpo is happy! Shiwu thought so happily.

The author has something to say: Shi Wu: The mission is not important!
