In the end, Wu didn't get to eat the grilled ice cream either. Ah, of course it wasn't for any other reason, it was just that...

At the beginning, Kenji Miyazawa really thought that grilling ice cream was just putting ice cream on the grill and grilling it. As a result, the melted ice cream dripped onto the charcoal fire, leaving a few marks.

Naomi Tanizaki at least knew how to make fried ice cream, which was to coat the ice cream with a layer of batter or something that was very easy to fry, then pass it through hot oil, and fry the outer layer before the ice cream inside reacted.

Even most fried ice creams are quick-frozen products similar to dumplings, which only need to be taken out to thaw and fried.

Unfortunately, they didn't find anything similar in the supermarket, so they could only mix the batter themselves and try to make it. But baking is not the same as frying. The heat that ice cream is exposed to takes longer and slower than frying. Almost every time the outside is finally baked, the inside is already hot and puddled.

Although Edogawa Ranpo doesn't know how to make it, he knows how to do it. He just watched them messing around. Not only did he not remind them that there is such a thing as web search, but he also played their behavior in real time to Shiwu in a very dramatic tone.

And Shiwu - although he didn't know how to do it, he easily came up with several solutions with Ranpo's brain, and didn't intend to remind them at all. He laughed happily on the side.

"They are idiots!"

"They are idiots!"

The two world's best detectives were almost clapping now. Because of their funny and stupid behavior.

When they finally remembered that they still had to search, it was already dark.

Shi Wu's eyes had some minor scratches because of what happened just now. Yoseno Akiko applied some medicine on them and covered them with a bandage. There was obviously no problem before, but he just cried once and his eyes were injured - this also shows that the system's artificial eyes are really excellent.

After all, eyes that are so easily injured have not caused him any injuries for such a long time. Products produced by the system are absolutely fine. Shi Wu confirmed this once again.

The feeling of having a layer of gauze covering his eyes is no different from his usual perspective, but Shi Wu intuitively felt that the gauze must not be kept on for too long. When

he usually squints his eyes, there is no difference between him and Ranpo, but once the gauze is wrapped around him, he seems to become a pitiful person in everyone's eyes - he is usually quite comfortable with that attitude, but now he is being taken care of in various ways, which makes him feel... a little uncomfortable.

He is good at accepting other people's kindness, but this kind of kindness also contains some other emotions... Well, Shi Wu thinks he should get his eyes healed as soon as possible.

By the way, it seems that the focus now is not on these, but on the damaged barbecue grill.

In fact, everyone was really grilling meat in the beginning. Even though they made some weird things because of Shiwu's request for grilled ice cream, at least they were all scientifically based and edible unless they were burnt. The taste was also within the normal range.

Until - Dazai Osamu took action.

At first, no one noticed the problem and naturally handed the raw meat skewers to Dazai Osamu, but no one knew what Dazai Osamu did. The originally delicious food became... It's hard to describe in words.

Even a stinky sewer that has not been treated would not present such a strange, colorful black texture.

- Who still remembers that they are actually grilling meat? !

Kunikida Doppo was the first idiot who believed in Dazai Osamu. He really thought that this was some kind of "energizing kebab that doesn't require overtime work" and that eating it would give him unlimited energy to the point of not being able to sleep, and that all he had to do was work overtime in a planned manner.

Then, Kunikida Doppo was game over.

Dazai Osamu never failed when he wanted to do something. Even the president was stuffed with a skewer by Dazai Osamu - I don't know if it was out of curiosity or something else, but the president actually ate it!

- I don't know if I should say that he is worthy of being the president. Except for the fact that his face looked like his palette was messed up, his hands were shaking, and he almost fell and bumped into the door when he walked, he looked like he had no problems at all!

In the end, the only ones who can still stand are Edogawa Ranpo and Tokino - oh, and Nakajima Atsushi.

Edogawa Ranpo happily ordered Nakajima Atsushi, "Everyone is in your hands, Atsushi."

Then he happily pulled Tokiwa away from this "crime scene."

Nakajima Atsushi then realized why he was left behind.

"If Dazai hadn't messed up the grill, I would have wanted to help you grill it!" Edogawa Ranpo said with a puffy face, "Actually, I can do it too - other things are fine, but I still know how to do this!"

"To grill ice cream, all you need to do is buy a large portion of marshmallows, hollow out the inside, put the ice cream in, and then grill the outside of the marshmallows."

"The marshmallows on the outside will become burnt and crispy, and the inner layer will become soft, sticky and sweet. The innermost layer of marshmallows will still maintain its original texture because of the ice cream. When you take a bite of the ice cream, several layers of flavor spread in your mouth together - ah, now that you mention it, I want to eat it too!"

"Then let's try it next time." Shi Wu suggested.

After hearing Edogawa Ranpo's introduction, Shi Wu realized that grilled ice cream was such a sweet food - he generally didn't like it before, he still remembered that he was a salty party. But his current body makes him very fond of sweets, he should not hate it, and even like it to a certain extent.

After the barbecue dinner, it seemed that nothing had changed, but it seemed that something had changed.

Shi Wu didn't notice when everyone from the detective agency came to the rooftop. He couldn't hear anything at the time. Even now, when he thinks back, he can't remember clearly what he said to Ranpo at that time.

That is the body's self-protection mechanism. When the stability of the self-concept is threatened, when the body is sure that you can't bear something, it will unconsciously perform a kind of psychological self-maintenance, just like he lost his memory.

This physical characteristic usually occurs unconsciously. Although Shi Wu has the impression of what he did and said, in fact, Shi Wu is still no different from before. His memory is still the same and there is no sign of recovery. But how to say it... He feels like he seems to be relieved a lot, and it is only now that he really understands it-

but the conclusion he finally said was his own choice. He remembered this sentence.

"It turns out that I am still alive." Shi Wu sighed to the silent system.

Some words are not suitable to be spoken, but if you only think by yourself, it will be too lonely.

[……]

"Did you choose me because I want to live?" Shi Wu asked.

[……]

"At least you should say something. You have been saying nothing all the time. If you keep silent, I don't know what you are thinking." Shi Wu unconsciously used a coquettish tone, but he didn't have to get an answer. He just wanted to say thank you.

"But it doesn't matter if you don't want to talk. I will do the talking." Shi Wu smiled. He was originally a child who loved to laugh, since he was a child.

But his later experiences and amnesia made him forget this point, and also forgot his own personality. He even began to choose to express his personality in a completely opposite way to his past.

"Thank you so much, although I still don't know how to call you - after all, the system sounds really cold."

"You must have a name, right?"

[......]

"How about I give you a name? My name is Shi Wu, or you can be called-" [ No.] "Huh?"
