Chapter 28



The mission has a particularly weak presence in Tokiwa's mind. The biggest factor is probably that the system has never urged him, and has never indicated how important and urgent it is to collect energy.

Edogawa Ranpo always has new ideas, or he is interested in most of the things that children like.

Because he is too smart, he likes simple things that can be seen through at a glance.

For example, free toys in snacks.

Because Tokiwa is a "guest", Fukuzawa Yukichi found it difficult to refuse Ranpo's request to buy things at first. When the relationship was finally better and his position was slightly restricted, such a thing happened, making it even more difficult for Fukuzawa Yukichi to start.

So in the half month since Tokiwa came to the detective agency, the newly purchased toys piled up like a small mountain. It was just casually stuffed into the cabinet by Edogawa Ranpo, at least ensuring the cleanliness of the office.

"Shall we go to the amusement park?" On this day, Edogawa Ranpo came up with a new idea.

"...Amusement park?" It's not that Tokiwa is unfamiliar with this term, but he has no real sense of what this word represents. Because this word, like TV and mobile phones, is learned in this world.

As for the amusement park, just as the literal meaning, it should be a place for humans to relax, have fun.

Tokiwa was just wondering why Edogawa Ranpo suddenly mentioned going there.

"Because when Kagamika just joined the detective agency, Atsuya took her to the amusement park!" Edogawa Ranpo said illogical words.

Shi Wu understood and nodded: "With everyone?"

"No, just the two of us!" Edogawa Ranpo said with a smile: "Everyone has their own work!" Shi

Wu didn't have any opinions, but asked a soul-stirring question: "Do you know how to get to the amusement park?"

Edogawa Ranpo: "..."

Edogawa Ranpo decisively turned around and called out to Nakajima Atsushi who was about to go out: "Atsushi, come here!"

So in the end, the person who was responsible for leading the two detectives was the president Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"It doesn't seem to matter before or after..." Nakajima Atsushi, who was holding a stack of files in his hands and had not yet left, complained because he was stopped.

"This matter is not important at all!" Edogawa Ranpo and Tokiwu held hands, like elementary school students going out for a trip, and the position of their clasped hands swayed with the rhythm of their walking.

It was also because they looked like underage teenagers, and their temperaments were also particularly childish, but there was no sense of incongruity at all.

Tokiwu was no different from before, and was still led by Edogawa Ranpo. But this time, he was a little nervous -

the feeling was completely different from going to other places. He only knew the literal meaning of an amusement park, and he didn't know what kind of amusement facilities were there, but Tokiwu still had a sense of anticipation that made him a little overwhelmed.

What is he looking forward to?

It was not until he was led by Edogawa Ranpo to the gate of the amusement park that Shi Wu suddenly realized the answer. The

childish laughter of children was in his ears. They were acting coquettishly with their parents, talking about what they wanted to eat and what they wanted to play. The names that the young couple called each other were full of youthfulness that made people smile knowingly.

Even if there are all kinds of troubles in life, when standing in the amusement park, there will only be clean smiles on their faces that represent happiness.

There is no need to worry about their lives at all times. Children can go out with laughter without worrying about the sudden separation of life and death. People no longer need to arm themselves with blades.

"I..." Shi Wu opened his mouth lightly.

Edogawa Ranpo turned his head and looked at him seriously, his voice gentle: "What?"

"...I like it here." Shi Wu said.

The corners of his mouth were raised high, his eyes were curved, and the glass prosthetic eye hidden between his eyelids reflected a bright light, shining, making it difficult for people to look away.

Edogawa Ranpo was also led to smile, and the annoying things would be dealt with later. Now - "What do you want to play first?"

"Do you have any recommendations?" Shi Wu asked with a smile.

The two of them had a lot of fun. Edogawa Ranpo was not a person who would care about other people's eyes. He would show his arrogant nature at any time and place - not to mention that this is an amusement park for relaxation and entertainment!

He had an extremely contagious smile on his face, like a drop of water falling into hot oil, which made the atmosphere around him lively.

Even Fukuzawa Yukichi was forced by Shiwu to wear furry cat bow earrings.

No one would dislike such a passionate and lively child. Everyone who saw them would involuntarily make the smile on their faces even brighter. When they looked at Mr. Silver Wolf standing beside them with a helpless look on his face - although he was dressed in a simple and solemn manner, he had a cold and serious temperament, they would smile with understanding and teasing. When

you come to an amusement park, especially the one in Yokohama, the most important thing you can't miss is the huge Ferris wheel.

It can be said that the highest point of the Ferris wheel is the tallest building except for the five buildings of the port mafia. From there, you can easily see the panoramic view of Yokohama.

"President, do you want to come with us?" Edogawa Ranpo turned around and looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi who was holding a bunch of souvenirs in his hands, his eyes shining.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's cold and hard temperament softened a lot in the atmosphere at this moment. He looked at the paper bags on his body and shook his head.

Edogawa Ranpo did not force it. He happily lined up and happily held Tokiwa's hand and stepped into the cabin of the Ferris wheel.

For a moment, Tokiwa grabbed Edogawa Ranpo's hand in a panic and at a loss. It was completely unconscious.

People only feel safe in things they trust. Shi Wu had never seen a Ferris wheel, and at first he couldn't even model the appearance of a Ferris wheel in his mind - because it was too big.

It's like someone who has never seen a train will think that a train is a man-eating monster.

Shi Wu had no concept of a Ferris wheel in his mind, but from Edogawa Ranpo's introduction - well, even without the introduction, he could understand what a Ferris wheel was.

However, when he stepped onto the gondola, he felt a shaking feeling that he was sure of - just stepping on a metal box and then going up to such a high place, is it really safe?

If Shi Wu himself had the ability to fly, or simply used special powers to jump and climb to a high place, Shi Wu would not have such an idea.

But this feeling of suspension that completely depends on external objects -

Edogawa Ranpo never let go of Tokiwa's hand, and at this time, the palms of their hands that touched each other secreted a little sweat.

"Are you scared?" Edogawa Ranpo noticed this at the first time.

But unlike ordinary people, Edogawa Ranpo did not comfort Tokiwa and tell him about the safety performance of the Ferris wheel. He turned and began to introduce everything he saw.

The Ferris wheel slowly rose, and through the glass, Edogawa Ranpo talked about all the scenes he could see.

He talked about what someone standing on the ground did, that the cotton candy shop they had just eaten was still hot, that they saw a crepe shop they had not visited yet, and that the president now looked a lot smaller, and that he and everyone else had become the size of ants.

Listening to Ranpo Edogawa's voice, Tokiwu slowly relaxed.

"I like Ferris wheels very much! Because when you reach the highest point, people on the ground become very small, just like ants--"

"It would be nice if you could see." Ranpo Edogawa sighed.

Anyone with a little emotional intelligence knows that such words should not be said to a blind person, if it is not Ranpo Edogawa who is here.

But he knows that Tokiwu doesn't care, and when he usually talks, Tokiwu will not care and use unrealistic words such as "I can tell at a glance".

Obviously you can't see, right? Why not say "I can know without looking"?

Because he never thought that the fact that he can't see is so special, and he never thought that being blind is such an unbearable thing.

"Yokohama feels different at every time. During the day, at dusk, and at night."

"The sun is about to set now - the setting sun shines on the sea, like broken crystal candy, sparkling. All the buildings are covered with a layer of light yellow honey, and golden powdered sugar is sprinkled on top!"

But at this time, it is still a bit regrettable.

If only I could see it, see the beautiful scenery that Edogawa Ranpo said.

[……]

After Shi Wuxin revealed such thoughts, something surprising happened to him.

- He was sure that he still couldn't see. But the picture that appeared in his mind was as if he really saw it.

It was not a thermal imaging picture, but a real, panoramic view of Yokohama that Edogawa Ranpo said.

The setting sun was setting, and the Ferris wheel reached its highest point. Looking down, everything seemed extremely small, just as Edogawa Ranpo said.

Shiwu had never tried to look at the world from this perspective.

System? Shiwu called out in his heart.

[I don't understand what this means, but it's not difficult to synchronize my perspective with yours during this period of time.]

Edogawa Ranpo was still chattering, but he noticed Shiwu's reaction sharply. He turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's beautiful." There was no focus in Shiwu's eyes. He said honestly and bluntly, "I like this city."

Yokohama was quiet and peaceful at dusk. Standing on the Ferris wheel, the noisy and bustling ground was far away from them. Shi Wu whispered earnestly, "Thank you."

It takes about ten minutes for the Ferris wheel in Yokohama to make one rotation, and it gets dark quickly enough. The synchronized perspective may not be as simple as the system says.

When night falls, before the gorgeous lights on every building and amusement facility in the amusement park light up, Shi Wu's "eyes" lose their original lights and end in darkness again.

Day and dusk have passed, and now comes - the night that belongs to Yokohama.

It's dark.

The author has something to say: Shi Wu: It's dark, please close your eyes.
