Along the street, large notice boards display advertisements and maps of the surrounding area.

The figure with short black hair stopped and watched for a moment. Next to him was a man in a sand-colored windbreaker. The two did not talk to each other, but just looked quietly at the map on the notice board.

The map covers most of Yokohama, and even thoughtfully marks where to go and which train to take.

After wandering around for too long, Dazai turned around to observe the expressions of the people around him. After noticing that his sight had stopped at a city park, he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

This urban park is not small, and another point is that the spacious place often attracts stray cats and the like.

But after looking for a while, Luanbu's sight changed again. He looked at the area with the vague name and pointed his finger directly at it.

"Go here."

That is the edge of Yokohama and also a chaotic area - Leibo Street.

"Oh?" Dazai Osamu showed a thoughtful expression, "I thought Ranpo-san was going to see the president."

Ranpo nodded and did not deny it. This made Dazai Osamu even more curious. He stretched out his hand to touch the cow cat standing on the railing by the roadside, and then the cow cat jumped up as if it was stimulated.

The cat seemed to have its own thinking ability and was trying its best to avoid contact with him. Dazai Osamu half-closed his eyes and looked at the angry cat without pressing forward.

"Hey, let's go."

The two determined the direction, and then, led by Dazai Osamu, rushed towards "Leibo Street".

The buildings on the roadside had changed, but he gradually realized something was wrong. So he sat down on the edge of the flowerbed and turned his head away angrily.

"This is not the way to Leibo Street!"

Dazai Osamu smiled and sat down beside the flowerbed. He propped his chin with his hands and smiled, "Oh, that's not right. It seems we've taken the wrong path."

Surrounded by tall buildings, it was obvious that they were in the prosperous area of ​​Yokohama.

"Hmph." Luanbu gave up the conversation, "Don't follow me."

As if he was so angry that he didn't want to stay in one place, he walked quickly in one direction. As he looked at the direction he was walking, Dazai Osamu's smile became more obvious.

It seems that no matter which Ranpo-san it is, they are all the same when it comes to finding their way.

There are large areas of green plants, and in the flower beds on both sides of the road, small flowers are in full bloom in season. This is one of the larger parks in the Yokohama area, so there are many animals gathered here.

The snow-white pigeons flapped their wings and flew up, chasing the cow cat, which made a few leaps and then bumped into the pillar in a daze.

He looked up at random, his eyes following the flying pigeon. His eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, were now slowly opening.

"Should we follow the script?"

"You seem to have forgotten something." Lu Ninja reminded him, "This world is not our world."

005 was tangled up, and he said hesitantly: "What should I do?"

"You need to obtain a certain amount of energy before you can operate and let us go back, right?" Shika Ninja said straight to the point, "And the way you obtain energy is to obtain it from those characters."

"But losing power for no reason will also cause chaos in this world, so we have to create chaos so that you can take the opportunity to gain enough energy, right?"

Shika Ninja is very smart, and given the special nature of his identity in this world, it is normal for him to be guessed.

But 005 was still very puzzled, because gathering strength was a difficult task, but judging from the casual tone of Deer Ninja, this step seemed exceptionally simple.

"Yeah, it's not an easy thing to do," 005 said, "If we accidentally cause chaos, we will be considered a bug."

In other words, they cannot directly intervene in the chaos of this world, but must play a role in promoting it.

"I will help you." The deer ninja said, "It's a very simple thing, but you just don't have the brains."

Although he was belittled, 005 was still deeply moved when he heard such words: "Really? "

He was almost moved to tears because his host had finally turned over a new leaf. He felt that they could get along well.

Ranpo ignored 005's mumbling and before Dazai Osamu came over, he simply tilted his ear to listen carefully.

Then his eyes fell on the grass not far away. The grass was trimmed very neatly, about the height of a normal person's shoulder. In addition, the flower bed was already at a certain height, so as long as you stood on either side and didn't make any noise, you basically couldn't see anyone on the other side.

Dazai Osamu fell behind a few steps, and when he saw the person in front of him stop, he also stopped. Taking advantage of his height, he stood on tiptoe and looked over.

And in just this short period of time, the figure in front who was bending over had already taken a strong sprint and rushed out.

There were gaps between the grass, but it was still difficult for a person to pass through. Dazai blinked and burst out laughing.

The man who had nimbly used the force of the grass to move through the bushes had opened his arms as expected, with a smile on his face, and firmly hugged a calico cat squatting beside the flower bed.

The calico cat was startled. He heard footsteps approaching, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden.

The silver-haired man who was talking to the calico cat was wearing a dark green kimono, with a sword hidden under the haori. The topic of one man and one cat was originally very serious, but the sudden appearance of this person surprised both sides.

"I got it!" Ranbu hugged the calico cat tightly and pinched his two paws, "Hello, Mr. Cat."

After the initial surprise, the cat calmed down because he was not a cat.

Natsume Soseki has the ability "I am a cat" and can turn into a cat. He wanders around Yokohama in the form of a cat. The student who came to find him this time was also because of an accident in Leibo Street.

But just as the two of them were about to send Luanbu away, they didn't expect him to appear from behind again.

Fukuzawa Yuji frowned, but seeing Luanbu tightly hugging the cat teacher, he didn't want to scold him: "What's wrong, Luanbu?"

He stepped forward and stretched out his hand, picking up the kneeling person. Then he noticed that the clothes were different, and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

Ranbu tilted his head, looking innocent as if he knew nothing. Fukuzawa Yukichi sighed and plucked the leaves off the head of the person in front of him.

But just as he withdrew his hand, another head popped out from the place where a person had originally appeared.

Dazai Osamu put his hands together, and when he found that he was stuck, he grabbed the edge of the bush with both hands and said, "Hi, I see you again, President."

Fukuzawa Yukichi held his forehead helplessly, watched his member struggling to crawl out, then bowed his head and said to the cat teacher, "I'm sorry, teacher."

Luanbu finally let go of her hand, but this scene had already fallen into 005's eyes. He was stunned at first, and then he yelled "Ahhh" twice: "You have another cat! You are a fickle guy!"

This sentence is quite familiar, as if I have heard it not long ago.

He took a quick step to hide behind Fukuzawa Yuji, but the 005 missed and hit the latter's leg. Fukuzawa Yuji froze, and then forgot about the current situation for a moment, and squatted down to take out the dried fish from his sleeve.

This set of smooth and flowing movements left everyone present speechless.

"Meow." Natsume Soseki landed and wagged his tail. Seeing that something was wrong, he planned to leave first.

Ranpo watched the calico cat disappear nimbly into the bushes and nodded in satisfaction. Dazai Osamu smiled and squatted down to touch 005.

Under the effect of the supernatural power [Disqualification from the Human World], the cow cat did not change. This surprised Dazai Osamu, but he soon noticed that Ranpo looked a little weird.

〖Meow, meow, meow——〗

"What did you say?" Lu Shinobu looked at 005 who seemed to be losing his mind and was a little curious. "Is the impact of being disqualified from the human world so serious to you?"

005 can no longer speak human language. He makes meaningless "Aba Aba" sounds like a fool.

It seems that this body is an ordinary cat, and 005 is just "staying" temporarily. Therefore, under the influence of the disqualification of the special ability human world, the consciousness will be confused.

Ranpo smiled and nodded at Dazai Osamu.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was surprised by how well behaved the cat was. Unfortunately, it seemed to dislike his employee, Dazai Osamu.

"Is it a stray cat?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked.

005 hid in Ranpo's arms, and buried his head as if he was complaining. He hated Dazai Osamu, any Dazai Osamu.

"His name is 005," Ranbu introduced, "He's the cat I raised."

Fukuzawa Yuji was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he nodded seriously: "Since you have made up your mind to raise a cat, then you must make a good plan."

Fukuzawa Yukichi was very surprised that a cat was willing to approach him, so he forgot about the cat teacher for a moment. Now that he remembered it, his expression became a little more serious.

Teacher Natsume said that a "mysterious man" appeared in Leibo Street, and a small organization was destroyed overnight.

There were also people with special abilities in that organization, but they had no chance to resist. Most of them didn't even get a clear look at the attackers' faces before they lay on the ground without knowing why.

Although Leibo Street is a chaotic area, the appearance of such a strong esper in Yokohama forced Natsume Soseki to take it seriously. He also went to look for it, but found nothing.

Why are they sure that person is a psychic? Because among those attacked, there are also psychics. According to the survivors, psychics went out of control the moment they came into contact with the psychic.

We must be wary of those with super powers that can interfere with super powers.

Therefore, Natsume Soseki wants his students to investigate the matter. However, what happened in Leibo Street should be handled by the port mafia.

The reason why it was handed over to him this time was because the organization that was destroyed overnight was an opposing organization of the Port Mafia both openly and secretly.

Although this organization does not have the power to shake the status of the Port Mafia, it has been rooted in Leibo Street for a long time and has caused a lot of trouble to the Port Mafia both openly and covertly.

Therefore, for both public and private reasons, this matter should be investigated by Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Meow." The little cat named 005 called out, as if saying hello.

Luan Bu did not drive 005 away, he let the latter bury his head in his collar. The pair of green eyes opened and then looked in another direction.

On the other side of the park was a long staircase. A figure wearing a hat put his hand on the handrail of the staircase.

"President—you're so slow."

The same voice came from another place. Fukuzawa Yuji's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief: "Ranbu?"

"Hmm?" The detective wearing a hat looked up, and then the rough snack in his mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

Not far away, there was a man dressed as a detective, holding a brown paper bag in his hand, chewing and complaining dissatisfiedly.

But just as the two pairs of identical green eyes met, Edogawa Ranpo first pinched the mouth of the paper bag with one hand to prevent the snacks from spilling out, and then ran over quickly with "thump thump thump".

The faces that quickly approached looked exactly the same. If it weren't for the difference in their attire, the two people would really look the same as in the mirror.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked surprised. He subconsciously thought it was some kind of imitation ability, but Dazai Osamu had already smiled and put his hands on the shoulders of both of them.

Nothing has changed.

Edogawa Ranpo also frowned, and then took out his glasses from his pocket. He activated his supernatural power [Super Reasoning], and after a moment, he nodded seriously: "I see."

Dazai Osamu was very curious about what Edogawa Ranpo would say. He couldn't tell the difference between the two Ranpo, but if it was another Ranpo, no matter how perfect the disguise was, it would be seen through.

But Edogawa Ranpo just nodded thoughtfully, then pushed up his glasses and raised the corners of his mouth as if to show off: "I have it, you don't."

Like a child's childish contrast, Ranpo did not have glasses. He realized that the glasses were given to him by Fukuzawa Yukichi and played a very crucial role.

It seems that Mr. Fukuzawa did not give him anything of "memorable significance".

The first round was a big win for Edogawa Ranpo. He chuckled a few times, then looked at the identical face carefully.

He stretched out his hand and kneaded it hard, pulling the soft flesh of his cheek hard. Ranbu followed suit and loosened his hand and pulled it back. The two of them childishly kneaded each other's faces into funny shapes, and then smiled at each other.

They have a tacit understanding that is even higher than that of twins.

"What's going on, Ranbu?" Fukuzawa Yukichi asked, "He's not a mutant, nor is he a fake?"

If they were not created by supernatural powers, how could there be two identical people in the world?

Fukuzawa Yukichi was puzzled, and Dazai Osamu, who had also gotten some words out of him, remained silent. He was somewhat curious about how Ranpo would explain it.

"Well, let's just think of it as a superpower." Ranbu explained calmly.

Edogawa Ranpo narrowed his eyes and gave the answer under Fukuzawa Yukichi's gaze: "It's a replica from the laboratory."

This simple sentence made the others stunned. Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't believe it. He was not just the president of the detective agency, he knew a lot about the dark side.

"It is impossible to copy the world's best detective." Edogawa Ranpo said righteously. He patted the man in front of him on the shoulder. "I, Edogawa Ranpo, am the world's best detective!"

Shika-nin was somewhat surprised by Edogawa Ranpo's reaction. He did not expect the latter to follow his nonsense and explain for him. But after Edogawa Ranpo spoke, the other two did not doubt it.

"But Ranpo is Ranpo. The detective agency can have two detectives!" Edogawa Ranpo turned and said to Fukuzawa Yukichi.

The latter didn't quite understand the situation, but Edogawa Ranpo spoke up, and Fukuzawa Yukichi just sighed and said, "Then let's go back together."

Luan Bu regained his smiling expression and whispered, "Detective? Sounds good."

005 stood on the ground, he looked up at the two identical people, and hoped from the bottom of his heart: It would be great if Shika Shinobi was the same as Ranpo.

There are two random steps, one is really as childish and naive as the appearance, and the other is pretending to be so as to make the enemy take it lightly.

The deer ninja probably guessed what 005 was thinking. Looking at the cat's eyes, he explained compassionately: "How can plants grow in different environments?"

Even if it is the same seed, if it grows in two different places, there will be a world of difference.
