Ranpo Edogawa and Sakura Fukuchi have different positions in Fukuzawa Yukichi's heart.
The importance cannot be compared with simple words. For example, if Sakura Fukuchi and Ranpo Edogawa fall into the river at the same time, Fukuzawa Yukichi will definitely choose to save Ranpo Edogawa - although it is a very cliché metaphor, it is indeed very suitable to explain this relationship here. Because
Sakura Fukuchi is a partner in battle, he is strong enough and Fukuzawa Yukichi does not need to worry about him. Ranpo is still a child, has no fighting power, and is easily provoked by his personality, so he needs his protection.
This is not a relationship that can be compared on the same plane.
Ranpo Edogawa does not deny that he is jealous of Sakura Fukuchi - he and the president have known each other for less than half the time that the president and Sakura Fukuchi have known each other. No matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up.
So when he was with Sakura Fukuchi in the past, Ranpo Edogawa would always deliberately quarrel with her. Because of such a childish reason.
But this does not mean that Ranpo Edogawa really hates Sakura Fukuchi. Even before this, Ranpo Edogawa could trust Sakura Fukuchi unconditionally, just because of the president's trust.
As a result, he had to tell the president that his childhood friend, the person he trusted the most, would actually harm the detective agency with the goal of destroying the world - well, even someone as self-willed and self-centered as Edogawa Ranpo, didn't know how to start.
Once the president is involved, the world's number one detective will always appear different from usual.
At this moment, Edogawa Ranpo remembered the words that reminded him after his "other self" woke up and said that he wanted to protect himself.
Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu were checking these things in the back, and other people didn't know, but did Tokiwa really not realize it?
If it was just Tokiwa himself, he really wouldn't notice it. But now he has a brain that will actively tell him all kinds of information without his control.
Tokiwa doesn't use this ability most of the time, so his understanding of the world has always been limited to a range. That's why he didn't realize that Yumeno Hisasaku was a member of the port mafia (Mr. Mori).
But he and Edogawa Ranpo are together 23 hours out of 24 hours a day, and the remaining hour is just time for Toki to be alone and dazed.
What's more, Edogawa Ranpo himself has never hidden it, and there is no need for him to hide it. Toki can't tell anymore that he is probably wearing Kunikida Doppo's vest instead of Edogawa Ranpo's (not malicious). Toki
is not the kind of male chauvinist who hides countless secrets for protection. He doesn't have such an idea - since Ranpo has already guessed it, then it doesn't matter if he reminds him, right? At least the system didn't stop him from doing so.
So Shiwu spoke. The file was too short, but even such a short file mentioned one thing, that Ranpo would be attacked by Fukuchi Sakurachi in the future. It was only because Ranpo was smart enough that he narrowly avoided this danger.
He needed to make Ranpo pay attention, so Shiwu said to Ranpo: "Be careful of Fukuchi Sakurachi."
A person with amnesia remembered a name and asked him to be careful of the other party - this point has already explained too many problems.
Edogawa Ranpo clicked on the data file and fell into deep thought.
The attitude of the "other self" is also problematic. He clearly told him to be careful of Uncle Fukuchi, but there was no hatred in his tone, but it was incredibly calm.
According to Ranpo's reasoning, the one who caused the death of "another self" should be the other party... Even if it was not Fukuchi who did it, it must have a lot to do with him.
Why is there no hatred?
After countless possibilities flashed through his mind, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly fell silent. He connected all the clues together and got an answer that was very likely and had no loopholes.
How is it possible? It can't be. If it is really as he deduced - then, it's ridiculous.
Edogawa Ranpo tried to find another possibility with some headache, but his reasoning ability was too strong and terrifying to let him deceive himself.
Dazai Osamu noticed that Edogawa Ranpo's mood was not right, and something flashed in his iris eyes. He asked, "Mr. Ranpo?"
"Dazai, have you ever thought about the possibility that I was picked up by the president?" Edogawa Ranpo suddenly spoke like this, saying something that had nothing to do with the previous conversation. In the
obscure conversation with Dazai Osamu just now, they only talked about the disaster that had already happened in another world, and the important node was "Dazai Osamu".
There were also things that happened to "the other self" - only those events that had been encountered. Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai Osamu did not plan and organize them according to time, and they did not include the earlier past. The only question they considered was whether to tell each other these inferred memories.
In addition, there is Fukuchi Sakurachi.
The focus of their discussion has never been "Ranpo Edogawa" as an individual.
Even if Dazai Osamu knew what his past was like, Ranpo Edogawa had no interest in discussing these things in front of others.
The president was an exception. When he told the president about this matter as a teenager, it was because Ranpo Edogawa was about to collapse, so he grabbed the president and complained about everything that happened to him, everything he could not understand.
Fortunately, the president is a good person. He became Ranpo's new guardian.
Fukuchi Sakurachi is the captain of the government's special forces "Hound Dog" and a police officer. After the death of his parents, Ranpo Edogawa also spent a lot of time in the police academy.
If Fukuchi Sakurachi meets "Edogawa Ranpo" based on this opportunity, what will happen?
Edogawa Ranpo will never deny the personality charm of Fukuchi Sakurachi - if Fukuchi Sakurachi is a person without any advantages and is a terrible guy, then how bad is the vision of the president who becomes friends with him?
This is also the reason why Edogawa Ranpo will talk back to Fukuchi Sakurachi, but never say bad things about Fukuchi Sakurachi in these aspects. If he says those things, it can only mean that the president's vision is not good and he denies the president's ability.
Fukuchi Sakurachi has countless advantages. He has a firm goal and a strong personality. He represents justice, is powerful, protects the weak, has a cheerful personality, and never gets angry at Edogawa Ranpo's rudeness. He is a natural leader.
After becoming the captain of the "Hounds", no one can deny the fact that Fukuchi Sakurachi is a hero for everything he does (at least on the surface).
Even when Edogawa Ranpo points out the shortcomings of Fukuchi Sakurachi, except for his minor problems in life, such as getting drunk and doing bad things, getting seasick and vomiting, and this kind of "carelessness" in daily life, Edogawa Ranpo couldn't say any personality problems for a while - before today.
Such people will never miss "Ranpo Edogawa", and will never care about "Ranpo Edogawa's" overly casual and self-centered personality. Instead, they will think that it is natural for people with special abilities to have such a personality that is different from ordinary people.
——Because Ranpo Edogawa has the world's best special ability!
The special ability "super reasoning" is definitely the ability that the police want to have the most. The cases that Ranpo Edogawa has solved for the government police over the years alone can make countless police officers lose their jobs.
One Ranpo Edogawa is worth countless useless guys who waste resources.
Apart from the relationship with the president, Ranpo Edogawa actually likes that uncle very much. In front of Fukuchi, Ranpo Edogawa is even more relaxed than when facing the president, and will recklessly say things that he would never say in front of the president.
Because he knows that Fukuchi Sakurachi will not be angry, and will even argue with him in a good temper, with the reliability of a mature adult, smiling and ruffling his hair, calling him a brat.
The "other self" does not know the president, but he reacts to the president's aura and is very familiar with weapons such as swords. Coupled with the other party's words to remind himself, the answer to who he is referring to has long been revealed.
The question is, since he doesn't know the president, why would the "other self" choose to stand on the opposite side of Fukuchi Sakurachi?
It has been mentioned many times that Ranpo Edogawa knows himself, and for him, good and evil are irrelevant. If he hadn't met the president, but had met Fukuchi Sakurachi, Edogawa Ranpo could guess what would happen.
Just like when he met Dr. Yosano, he said that the detective agency didn't need her to do anything she didn't want to do.
Fukuchi Sakurachi would also invite "himself" in the same tone. But the words would be completely opposite - the other party would honestly and straightforwardly say that he needed the ability of "super reasoning", and then.
[“You are different from those mediocre people! You are good enough to be evaluated as excellent in reasoning, and even I have to admit that I can't compare with you in this respect!”
“But, it’s a hundred years too early for you to beat me! Haha, so what if I cheat? Can you stop me from cheating? Winning is winning, and this is also the wisdom of ‘adults’, kid!”
“Well, do you want to go with me? I can give you the most grand stage! No matter what you want to do, I will not stop you, but I will use your power to achieve my own goals!
Of course, you can also refuse. After all, even if you hadn’t met me, you would never be ordinary and unknown in this world!”
“I’m waiting for your name to echo throughout the world—Edogawa Ranpo!”]
That would be a completely different kind of “recruitment” from the president. The president is someone that Ranpo Edogawa stuck to like a stray cat, and this time, the initiative lies with another self.
Could he refuse? When he lost his parents and was unable to understand the collapse of the adult world, someone pointed out his peculiarity, proved his difference, and said that they would wait for the day when he grows up.
Fukuchi Sakura's charisma is never less than that of the president. He will not be a guardian like a father, but a perfect leader who stands in the front, gives goals, and guides the way forward.
"Ranpo Edogawa" before meeting the president.
Really, can this person be rejected?
The author has something to say: Shi Wu: I don't know if Ranpo can refuse, but I don't think I can refuse.
