Chapter 88
Detective Agency
The world seems to have undergone a few unexpected changes, such as the Oda family coming back from the dead, the mysterious disappearance of Sigma, and Fukuchi Sakura's true identity being suddenly revealed by his subordinates.
The culprit behind all this is a mysterious figure who appears in my hazy memories—
"It's Lord Ranpo's daughter!" the cat detective announced loudly.
"What?!" "What?!" "Really?"
Amidst the murmurs, a newly hired red-haired employee, who was diligently writing documents, looked up in confusion. His ahoge (cowlick) twitched, and he stared at the young man beside him with a puzzled expression: "Dazai, I remember, isn't she your daughter?"
Instantly, everyone's attention turned to the idle Dazai Osamu.
Dazai Osamu:......
There was a knock on the door, and Dazai Osamu immediately jumped up and rushed to open it to avoid the topic.
Then, he met a pair of large, bright, black eyes. Little Luo smiled with delight and tugged at the young man who was hugging her, shouting, "Brother! This is Daddy! Quickly call him Daddy!"
Osamu Dazai: "..."
youth:"……"
A young man, seemingly around the same age as Dazai Osamu, looked up and met Dazai's gaze with a cold expression. He gave a forced smile and extended his hand: "Hello? You're Dazai Osamu, the one who wants to be my father? I've wanted to meet you for a long time."
Dazai Osamu was silent for a moment. In that instant, he recalled the fear of being dominated by Xiao Luo, but would he be afraid?
Dazai Osamu smiled and shook hands in return: "You're welcome. He's my son, whom I've never met before."
youth:"……"
What a thick skin! I can't beat him!
"Dazai! Stop blocking the doorway! Let them in!" came Edogawa Ranpo's shouting from inside the doorway.
Dazai Osamu obediently stepped aside, and the young man calmly entered, carrying the little girl, followed by a little tail with two different colored hair.
Sigma entered, trembling with fear. Was this place related to the authorities? Was it really okay for a wanted criminal like him to just walk in like this?
The starry-eyed child next to him gave Dazai Osamu a malicious smile, "Dazai-san, long time no see!"
Dazai Osamu's smile slowly faded. Yumeno Kyusaku? When was he released?
The little girl stepped down from her brother's arms and skipped over to Edogawa Ranpo, handing him her family register.
Edogawa Ranpo complained, "...Why are you bringing your family along?"
Because they were either members of the Mafia, wanted criminals, or unregistered residents, the world's consciousness simply put them all on the same household register.
Xiao Luo pretended not to hear and introduced them one by one, starting with Sigma, "This is Dad."
"These are my father and brother." The young man smiled and waved warmly to everyone.
"This is my older brother." Upon hearing his own address, Yumeno Kyusaku decisively abandoned Dazai Osamu.
Dazai Osamu suddenly had a strange idea and leaned over: "Sigma is the father, and Kyusaku is the older brother, so could my eldest son be Sigma Kyusaku?"
"No! Brother should take Xiao Luo's surname!" Xiao Luo, who was instantly attracted, ran over and objected seriously, "Brother should be called Ke Xiao Luo."
Her head was held down, but Xiao Luo smiled and bent down, "Xiao Luo, haven't you learned basic human ethics in your Chinese class yet?"
"Wait a minute!" Edogawa Ranpo looked at them seriously and sat up from his chair. "You don't all want Ranpo-sama to adopt you, do you?"
The little girl pleaded pitifully, "Daddy~"
Kolo thought for a moment and then called out clearly, "Dad!"
He doesn't call out to Dazai Osamu because it's useless; if it were useful, he wouldn't mind calling out to him.
Edogawa Ranpo choked: "You should also learn some basic human ethics."
After finishing speaking, the cat detective turned to the club president and earnestly introduced them: "Sigma and Yumeno Kyusaku, the club president can recruit them into the detective club and give them an assessment!"
"What about me?" The young man looked around in confusion. Sigma and Kyusaku had joined the detective agency, and Xiaoluo had become his daughter. What about himself?
The great detective was shocked: "Can't you support yourself?"
Don't think Lord Ranpo doesn't know. If you had a stable job, you'd definitely slack off and cheat!
Damn it, how come their true nature was discovered so quickly!
Kolo tilted her head and thought for a second, "Then who would be willing to take care of me? I'm willing to call him Dad!"
"Me!!" The little girl next to him raised her hand high and jumped around with all her might, trying to get her brother's attention.
Kolo easily ignored her.
Observing from the side, he timidly asked Oda Sakunosuke, "Do you have nowhere to go right now? You can borrow my house..."
Kolo slid up to the red-haired man, hugged him without hesitation, and cried out, "Daddy!"
Oda Sakunosuke remained silent for a long time before saying, "...Thank you, but I don't think I need any more children."
In short, it seems to be okay, since everyone has a "home" now.
