I can't wait to face it!
At this moment, Chuuya had not yet realized the importance of the matter. He stepped back to both sides, hiding himself even more, and continued to look inside with great interest.
Rather, it was precisely because everyone was warning him to be careful of that detective that Chuuya's rebellious nature was triggered.
The White Tiger incident in the warehouse continued. A total of four people arrived: Kunikida Doppo, who came at the beginning; a girl with bangs wearing a metal butterfly hair accessory; and a blond, freckled boy with a straw hat around his neck.
Chuuya's gaze fell on the person dressed in what was clearly a detective's outfit, wearing glasses, but with narrowed eyes, and whose posture and movements resembled those of a haughty cat.
As soon as he appeared, the barrage of comments increased, mostly praising him. It was easy for Chunghwa to guess his target for the evening.
After recognizing the person, Chuuya planned to leave. Although he didn't believe that the famous detective was that capable, Chuuya still listened to advice and didn't intend to fight him for the time being, since there would be plenty of opportunities later.
Just as Chuuya was about to turn and leave, a voice suddenly came from afar.
"Hey! Didn't you bring a little gift to see the famous detective? Why are you leaving so soon! At least leave the gift for the famous detective behind!"
Edogawa Ranpo was holding a megaphone and shouting out the window.
Chuuya turned around abruptly and met the gaze of the person who was shouting. A cold sweat trickled down his back.
Ranpo's unusual behavior also caught the attention of the other members of the Detective Club, and the group that had been surrounding the White Tiger Boy walked towards Ranpo.
Chuuya gritted his teeth, took out the two lemon bombs he had asked Kajii Motojiro for earlier that day from his suit jacket, and threw them on the ground.
He ran straight into the distance amidst the thick smoke from the explosion, unaware that a small box had fallen out of his pocket as he moved.
Chuuya must be drenched in sweat!
[You know perfectly well whether you've made any unnecessary moves or not.]
[Chuuya actually brought Ranpo a gift? That seems unlikely.]
[The shocked expression on Chuuya's face is so cute!]
It's rare for Chuuya to share the same thoughts as the comments. Although he doesn't usually use these skills, he studies them diligently in every class.
Moreover, he hadn't even gone near the warehouse this time; he found it entirely through the comments. The fact that they were able to discover it was undoubtedly the most shocking thing for Chuuya.
Chuuya's steps only slowed down when he had left and gone quite far away.
"Ranpo, who are you talking to?"
As Yosano Akiko approached Ranpo, before she could even see anything clearly, a huge explosion rang out. Kunikida Doppo instinctively ran to Edogawa Ranpo's side to be on guard.
"Don't be nervous, Kunikida, I'm fine. That person didn't mean to hurt me."
Ranpo opened his eyes and carefully examined the site of the explosion; the atmosphere grew serious. After all, Ranpo rarely opened his eyes, only opening those eyes that could see the truth when solving a case.
Ranpo closed his eyes, returning to his usual relaxed, squinting state, even looking somewhat happy.
"Well, detective, what did you figure out? I've been here with this kid for so long, but I didn't notice anyone watching me."
Dazai's lips curled into a dangerous smile. Over the past two years, Dazai had figured Ranpo out quite well. Although Ranpo didn't have any special abilities, he sometimes saw things more clearly than Dazai himself.
Ranpo pushed up his glasses, opened his eyes to glance at Dazai, then quickly squinted again and turned his head to the side in a childlike manner.
"So that's how it is. The famous detective already knows the truth, but he's not telling you, Dazai."
"Huh?"
Dazai pointed to himself, his eyes turning into beady pupils as he blinked.
[Dazai, you've finally been punished!]
Ranpo wasn't just a great detective, he was a legendary detective! The world's greatest legendary detective!
I was still curious, so I also brought something for Ranpo.
Chuuya still couldn't figure out what the detective's gift was, since he hadn't brought anything with him today except two lemon bombs.
Meanwhile, the detective agency, along with Ranpo, arrived at the site of the earlier explosion.
"Hey Ranpo, what are you looking for? Even if there was something, it was blown away by the explosion just now, wasn't it?"
"Speaking of which, although there was just an explosion here, there wasn't a very pungent smell. In fact, there was a faint lemon scent. It must have been done by someone with superpowers, but we don't know what their purpose was."
Kunikida pinched a handful of dust, smelled it, and then gave his assessment.
Dazai, who was wandering around nearby, glanced at her but didn't say anything.
"Found it!"
As soon as Ranpo arrived at the location, he ran to a spot with a clear objective and began sifting through the rubble from the explosion. He eventually found a beautifully packaged box.
"What? It wasn't meant for this detective? But since I found it, it's mine now. You don't eat it anyway."
Ranpo frowned, pouting like a child, but quickly cheered himself up and happily opened the box.
"Wow, it's candy from that expensive candy store."
Kenji peeked out and looked over, somewhat surprised, and said...
"But Mr. Ranpo, you've already finished all your snacks and desserts this week, right? It's bad for your teeth if you eat more. I'll tell the president the truth."
Kunikida Doppo adjusted his glasses and pointed out the problem.
"I found this myself! Kunikida, you're not allowed to tell the president!"
Upon hearing Kunikida Doppo's words, Ranpo grabbed the candy from the box and hid it in his clothes. He also slightly shifted his body so that his back was to Kunikida Doppo.
Oh, it's candy!
[Ranpo-san, you've got him figured out!]
Even when she's angry, she's still cute.
[Congratulations to Atsushi on joining the Armed Detective Agency!]
It was only after seeing the comments that Chuuya finally remembered that Alice had been playing with her coat the whole morning in the office.
It was probably slipped in at that time, but I never expected that the gift the famous detective mentioned would be this.
No, I'm so far away from him, yet he not only knows where I am, but also knows I have candy in my pocket—something I have no recollection of.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Chuuya's forehead, and his pupils dilated sharply. The thought was chilling; could achieving this level really not be considered a superpower?
Chuuya returned to his villa, opened a bottle of wine, and leaned back on the sofa, his hat covering half his face, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the sofa.
Chuuya's eyes were hidden in the shadow of his hat, but he couldn't hide the excited gleam in them.
Chuuya began to review the intelligence he had gathered that day. The first thing was the matter of the tiger-man joining the detective agency, which meant the leader's plan had failed.
Then there's that famous detective. Only after truly facing him did Chuuya understand why those comments and the system told him to stay away.
This is too overpowered! It reminds me of what 6499 said about the God's perspective. It's really interesting. Could it be that the detective is the core character and everyone else is just armed?
Zhong also had a strong premonition that he would definitely come into contact with them, and not only him, but also possibly the Port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency.
Although I have never underestimated the location that Dazai Osamu chose, it now seems that the level of danger has indeed been raised to another level.
"This is getting more and more interesting."
Chuuya's beautiful blue eyes were filled with fighting spirit; he couldn't wait to face him.
