Chapter 15
This is quite interesting. I looked at Dazai Osamu and saw that he was already attracted by the boy's words.
The black-haired boy was still defending himself, "Obviously, that old man prefers salty mouths, and there is no way his blind date today will be successful. The other party has already let him go for half an hour!"
The bald uncle next to him covered his face in shame.
We: “Wow~”
This uncle still has some expectations for himself.
"That doesn't cover up the fact that you've already ordered the wrong dishes thirteen times. Please leave. We don't have room for a great god like you."
The store manager impatiently ordered the boy to leave.
The young man frowned and puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction. "Why? I did a good job. Is it because the boss lady found out that the store manager was having an affair today?"
We: “Wow~”
All the customers in the store looked at the manager with the same expression as us, but they just kept silent.
The store manager was furious, but this only confirmed the boy's guess... or inference?
The boy was thrown out by the store manager.
The boy waved his fist at the store manager. "Hey! This hurts!"
We were not very hungry now, and we were more interested in knowing what happened next than watching the store manager deal with the bad stall.
so……
"What do the looks between you two mean?!"
"Found."
"How amazing! How did he see that? He was clearly squinting his eyes..."
The boy looked at us discussing him openly: "...Hey!"
*
The three of us squatted on the side of the road and chatted.
"...So, this is why I have fallen to this point."
The boy, Edogawa Ranpo, said so.
"How pitiful!"
Dazai Osamu wiped away his tears hypocritically.
Edogawa Ranpo didn't seem to want to care about his sudden crazy behavior.
"When it comes to how pitiful you are, aren't you just as pitiful as me?" Ranpo Edogawa said it directly.
Dazai Osamu's expression suddenly became terrifying, and I guess my expression might have become serious as well.
However, Dazai Osamu immediately managed his expression.
During this process, we were actually just listening to Edogawa Ranpo's chatter and didn't say anything. If he could deduce our life stories from this, then he would be really amazing.
"No, no, no, Ranpo-kun thinks highly of us. We are just two helpless orphans." Dazai Osamu said with a smile.
Edogawa Ranpo snorted heavily, as if expressing his disdain for Dazai Osamu's half-true and half-false deception.
He clapped his hands and stood up. "Okay, now I have to find another part-time job. You guys don't have to follow me!"
Even if I want to invite him to have something to eat together, is it not possible?
I thought this subconsciously.
"That's still possible." He answered me directly as if he knew what I was thinking.
I looked at my brother in surprise. Could this guy have the ability to read minds?
"No, no, how could I have such a strange ability?"
It's like this again, he said it again, does he really not have it?
I don't know what my brother was thinking of, but he crawled onto Mr. Edogawa Ranpo.
Please forgive my limited vocabulary, but I can’t find a more appropriate adjective to describe this scene except “wriggling”.
Mr. Edogawa Ranpo couldn't accept this and hurriedly pushed Dazai Osamu away, "Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you?"
My brother shook his head at me and denied that Edogawa had any special abilities.
There is such a smart person in the world! But why does he seem to be completely unaware of his own intelligence?
There was a gleam of curiosity in my brother's eyes.
I'm a little hungry now and don't want to pay attention to Mr. Edogawa, but after seeing the look in my brother's eyes, I feel that I can be hungry for a while longer.
My brother's curiosity always comes and goes quickly because he is very smart and understands everything quickly.
My eldest sister entrusted my brother to me, and I believe that I need to take some responsibility for him.
* As it says in a picture book, a cat that has lived a million times will not die until it finds its white cat.
My brother didn't find his Miss White Cat, so he can't die.
My brother's curiosity is like the occasional apparition of Miss White Cat. He feels very happy as long as he can see her.
Therefore, my brother's curiosity will be protected by a mature enough adult like me!
The ideal is beautiful, but Mr. Edogawa doesn't think so. He said to us, "I have been busy all day and haven't eaten yet. Now I am so hungry that I am hallucinating."
Ahaha, see, there's nothing I can do about it. It was Mr. Edogawa who asked me to have dinner with him, and I just accompanied him.
My brother looked at Mr. Edogawa, then looked at me, blinked and smiled.
"Well, Rong, please tell us where we can find some delicious snacks, right?"
"Brother's orders will definitely be completed perfectly by Rong." I performed a not-so-standard salute.
He gave me a brain-blow.
*
Mr. Edogawa seems to be a sweets addict. He only eats red beans and not rice cakes.
I was eating quietly nearby. The chazuke here seems pretty good. I'm going to put this restaurant in the top ten of my list of delicious restaurants.
My brother was talking to Mr. Edogawa in a way that I couldn't understand and that didn't seem to be related to him, but I knew it was very profound.
I know that smart people all like to tell riddles.
…
After I put down my bowl, my brother and Mr. Edogawa finished their conversation.
"Brother, don't you want to eat something? I just saw them selling crabs."
His eyes sparkled. "Please give me one of these!"
Cats all have things they like, but no cat is raised with crabs, so my brother is not a cat, but some other kind of fish that needs to eat crabs.
Mr. Edogawa left first, and he seemed really anxious to find his next job.
*
"What do we do now? We have no money."
"It's okay." My brother shook his finger at me.
"Money is the easiest thing to find in this world."
That's for someone like my brother.
"Anyway, don't worry about it, just help me open this."
He handed me a crab and I opened it for him.
*
We came to Yokohama's most famous attraction, the Taitai Street, which is said to have been blown out by a huge explosion two years ago.
——Will there be a mushroom cloud? I have never seen such a high-level scene in my life. I want to see it.
"There are three relatively large organizations in the Iron Street. They are the Takasekai, GSS, and a minor self-defense organization called 'Sheep'."
"Among them, the leader of the 'Sheep' seems to be a guy with orange hair and blue eyes. His special abilities are very powerful and he is a great killer."
I didn't quite understand why my brother wanted to introduce all this to me. I felt a little uneasy.
"Brother, why are you telling me this?"
My brother rubbed my head and looked at me carefully. "The velvet is so beautiful, even those little kids will like it, right?"
I was puzzled. "Brother?"
"Ah, that's right... Rong, now I have a difficult task for you. Go undercover as a sheep!"
"Why should I go undercover? What exactly is my brother going to do?"
In response to my question, Dazai remained silent.
My brother was feeling uneasy as soon as he left the hotel, but then he gradually became determined. What did he decide on his own without telling me?
Thinking of this, I put on my most serious expression, because if I didn't do this, my brother would definitely make up an excuse, "You want to chase me away, why?"
Dazai Osamu moved his lips and said, "Well...Um, Rong is still young, so she doesn't need to know this."
I think my brother also felt that my eldest sister entrusted me to him, and he also felt that he had the responsibility to take care of me, just like me.
"I think I will be very useful. My special ability is very convenient for gathering intelligence... Are you going to abandon me without using this special ability?"
"No, that's not the case!"
He waved his hands hastily and assured me, "I won't abandon the velvet, absolutely not."
I looked at my brother steadily. "Brother, you are so selfish that you don't even want me to be with you."
He went on the adventure alone and left me alone to worry.
"No, Rong, I promise." He looked at me cautiously.
"You promised you would come back."
"I promise I'll be back."
*
It’s not that I don’t want to face the Takase Association or GSS with my brother, but if I really stay with my brother, he will not perform well because of my presence.
——Because of my concerns, I naturally cannot go all out.
…
After watching Dazai Suzu leave, Dazai Osamu's face immediately became gloomy.
"Well, there's no way... It's so hard to survive..." he muttered to himself.
*
I can't control Dazai Osamu's situation. I can't interfere in matters like this.
Anyway, he has already promised me. There is nothing my brother would not do if he didn't keep his promise. It's just that there might be some deviation in the timing.
I smeared a handful of dust on my face and clothes from the roadside. Fortunately, the clothes I wore today were gray, otherwise they would be difficult to wash.
When we arrived at the sheep's base...it looked a bit shabby.
Seeing someone coming, I hurried over.
What a coincidence, it’s exactly the leader of the sheep that my brother mentioned... Wait, look good!
I was so mesmerized by her beauty that I didn't notice the stone under my feet and tripped.
How embarrassing! I was so busy looking at the beauty that I didn't notice the road... I'd better just let this world be destroyed.
When the beauty saw me stumble, she hurried over to help me up.
"Are you okay?"
Wow... Oh my god, the sound is so nice.
Although I think I have developed a high level of aesthetic appreciation through my brother's voice and the beauty of the Tsushima family.
However, the beauty of the sheep leader is different from that of anyone else in the family!
"Oh, well, well, I'm sorry, I dropped it by accident."
He smiled at me and said, "It's okay. Are you hurt anywhere?"
I know he was just being polite, joking. Would people in Iron Street think that a simple fall is a big deal?
But seeing him smile for just a moment, the feeling suddenly changed.
I stood up in a panic. "It's okay, it's okay. Well, I heard there are sheep here, so..."
I kicked the stones on the road nervously.
The beauty showed an understanding expression, and he stood up with his hands in his pockets. "I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I'll take you to meet Shirase and the others."
He motioned for me to follow him.
