Shi Wubi knows that simple words cannot really solve problems. People cannot empathize with others. Even if they have experienced the same experience or the same disaster, different people have different acceptance abilities.

But this does not mean that there is no need to say it. Although it cannot solve the problem, the power of words is also very strong.

Hmm, it sounds quite contradictory. Shi Wu can easily understand the difference.

"Well, just leave it to the 'reliable adult'!" Shi Wu patted Nakajima Atsushi's fluffy hair, which felt quite comfortable, so he rubbed it twice more, "Although you do need to use your brains occasionally, it's not good to think too much."

"Anyway, someone will protect you and stand behind you." Shi Wu recalled the careful thoughts that Dazai Osamu put in during the battle with the group and the port mafia, and couldn't help but sigh that the white death next door cared so much about the leader Dazai, which was not unreasonable.

"What about Mr. Ranpo?" Nakajima Atsushi suddenly asked.

Shi Wu was stunned for a moment, and then he said subconsciously: "Ranpo? Isn't he still blessed..."

"...No, I don't mean Mr. Ranpo - I'm talking about you!" Nakajima Atsushi said in a panic with honorifics, "Because, because... Mr. Ranpo just excluded himself, right?"

Children born in orphanages may not be smart enough, or strong enough, but they are definitely very sensitive to other people's emotions.

At the beginning, Nakajima Atsushi really didn't find the problem, and was also surprised and grateful that "Mr. Ranpo" would find out his tangled problems and take the initiative to comfort him.

Yes, Nakajima Atsushi can distinguish the kindness and malice of others. He can hear that although the words are a bit awkward and strange, and different from the "normal" comfort of others, it is really for his own good.

It was a very fitting consolation for Mr. Ranpo.

But at the end, Nakajima Atsushi realized belatedly that the detective in front of him had no intention of including him at all.

Although Mr. Ranpo was mentioned, "he" was used instead of "we". If you think about it carefully, there have been similar conversations before. It's just that Nakajima Atsushi didn't notice it at all at that time. However, Tokiwa

still thought it was natural. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, "What's so strange about this, because I'm different."

"Can you compare with me?" Tokiwa said this in a slightly arrogant tone, and as expected, Nakajima Atsushi shook his head when he heard him say this, with a tangled look on his face, but he couldn't say it at all.

"Besides, Atsushi, you completely forgot about Kagamika--" Shiwu raised his hand and waved it. Izumi Kagami, who had been paying attention to this side, tilted the ahoge on her head, and her eyes seemed to light up in an instant.

She was still holding a cream cake in her hand. After pausing for a moment, she quietly took away two other snacks from the table before moving to appear next to Nakajima Atsushi without making any sound.

"Kagamika-chan...?" Nakajima Atsushi looked confused.

Izumi Kagami quietly and obediently handed over the snacks in her hand. Nakajima Atsushi hesitated, then smiled and nodded, saying thank you. Shiwu's attitude was a little more natural.

Edogawa Ranpo likes Izumi Kyoka very much, and as a result, Tokiwu also likes this girl very much.

After all, in the entire detective agency, only Miyazawa Kenji and Izumi Kyoka are the same age as him. Miyazawa Kenji is too natural, and his personality is simple and honest, but because of this purity, he is braver and more determined than anyone else.

And Izumi Kyoka - in addition to the relationship with Ranpo, there are some other reasons, that is, Izumi Kyoka gives him a very familiar feeling.

After spending a whole night thinking about it, Tokiwu finally realized that the familiarity he felt in Izumi Kyoka was because of himself.

For example, her temperament as sharp as a blade - Izumi Kyoka's ability is to use a knife, which makes Tokiwu feel very friendly. For example, staying in one place with an expressionless face and not speaking or moving is just like Shi Wu staring at the clouds.

Similarly, Izumi Kyoka has the same confusion as Nakajima Atsushi. But unlike Nakajima Atsushi, this child has found her goal and understands what she wants to do. In this regard, she is much better than Atsushi.

"Kyoka has always been worried about you, Atsushi." Shi Wu felt that he had said everything he could say. If he really wanted to continue... he was really worried that he would not be able to hold back and say the bad words in his mind.

What kind of person was he before? Shi Wuwu inadvertently had this thought in his mind again, but like every time before, he still casually threw it aside and did not continue to explore.

There was basically nothing for him to do here, so Shi Wu thought about going to the rooftop to get some fresh air. This didn't make any sense, but it was precisely because it was meaningless that it became a casual daily routine.

Moreover, except for the initial period, the rooftop never belonged to Shi Wu alone. Often, before he had been there for two minutes, one or two people would always appear, finding various excuses to come up and accompany him.

Apart from Ranpo, the most common person was Kenji Miyazawa, who planted some vegetables on the rooftop. Because he was not good at communication, he would often just squat aside and stare at the vegetables he planted.

His overly simple nature often made him unable to understand everyone's behavior, but no matter how strange the thing was, he would sigh and say, "Is this a big city?", making it difficult for people to even complain.

And Shiwu also likes people who can communicate without using their brains, which makes him relax - especially, Kenji Miyazawa has a kind of clean and natural aura that is unique to the countryside.

Even Kunikida once used "Dazai said that going to the rooftop to enjoy the fresh air after work can help relieve fatigue and make the afternoon work more efficient." It

sounds reasonable, but after Kunikida Doppo said this, Dazai Osamu came to the door and said "I lied to you", which made the two of them chase each other and quarrel again. However

, this statement was still recorded by Kunikida Doppo in his notebook, and he would go to the rooftop to enjoy the fresh air from time to time.

This is also the reason why Shiwu likes the Detective Agency so much. The people here are all very, very gentle. They tried to make Shi Wu seem less alienated and lonely.

"This is actually not my problem at all." When realizing this, Shi Wu complained to the system. He said, "It's entirely because Ranpo's personality is so different from mine, and I'm not good at acting, so I appear to be a little silent and untalkative."

The system's response at the time was: [I think you're already lively enough.]

Recalling what happened before he met the group, Shi Wu smiled again. So he never felt that his past was so bad, and his luck was always good.

After thinking about something else in his mind, Shi Wu walked towards the door. He noticed someone approaching him. It was Dr. Xie Ye, and she was drinking.

His steps were a little messy, one heavy and one light, and his walking direction was also crooked. Shi Wu took a step back to avoid the drunk Dr. Yoshino.

Just when the other party passed by him, Shi Wu suddenly heard the sound of something falling on the ground.

The drunk Dr. Yoshino obviously did not notice this. Shi Wu did not hesitate, squatted down and picked up the thing that fell on the ground.

It was a hair accessory. When Shi Wu was about to call out to Yoshino Akiko, his hand had already determined the shape of the hair accessory.

——This is a butterfly hair accessory.

The blindness of "Edogawa Ranpo" is different from that of ordinary people. It hardly affects daily life. However, this never means that it will not affect at all. The world of the blind is different from the way the sighted see the world.

Shi Wu was unable to distinguish Yoseno Akiko's height and weight through the sound of her footsteps. He knew that she probably had neat short hair, and he even knew that she usually wore hair accessories.

However, this never meant that Shi Wu could know the shape of Yoseno Akiko's hair accessories without touching her. He never knew, never noticed, and no one would tell him this.

The name that Shi Wu was about to call out was suddenly stuck in his throat. He inexplicably felt that the name of Dr. Yoseno was too unfamiliar.

The name he wanted to call out was not Yoseno, but should be.

"...Butterfly."

"What?" Yoseno Akiko only heard vague syllables, which made people a little unable to understand. But when she turned around, the blurry vision made her notice the hair accessories that were tightly grasped in Shi Wu's hand. Yoseno Akiko slowly realized what the syllables that Tokwu just said were. The words from "Mr. Ranpo" were referring to her butterfly hair accessory.

She felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, and it reminded her of the day when she first met Mr. Ranpo - that day was a turning point in her life. It was also in this way that Mr. Ranpo found her hair accessory and gave her the meaning of living.

This made Yoseno Akiko smile with emotion. The cheerful and generous doctor took a few steps back. Even if he was drunk, Yoseno Akiko always treated "Edogawa Ranpo" differently. "Thank you, 'Mr. Ranpo'."

However, the moment she stretched out her hand, she did not take the hair accessory from Tokwu's hand, which made Yoseno Akiko stunned.

Shi Wu also responded. He opened his mouth twice before his tone was the same as usual. He smiled again and loosened his hand that was tightly holding the hair ornament: "Your butterfly hair ornament just fell to the ground, Dr. Yosano."

"...Ah, um, sorry to bother you, Mr. Ranpo." Although his face was full of physiological drunkenness, at this moment, Yosano Akiko's eyes were incredibly clear.

"This is a very important thing."

"Be careful next time, it would be bad if someone stepped on it." Shi Wu said such a casual word and walked out with his eyes crooked.

Yosano Akiko looked at Shi Wu's back and almost instinctively turned his head to look at Edogawa Ranpo who was sitting in the middle.

Edogawa Ranpo's expression looked no different from usual, but he and Yosano Akiko knew that the scene just now was definitely seen by the detective of their detective agency.

The author has something to say: Shi Wu: ...Butterfly, do you mean insects? I really like animals.
