Number One Dad
How should I put it?
The woman with the butterfly hair clip hesitated for a moment, then said without changing her expression, "It's for cutting bones. You know bones are very hard."
We need to use a scalpel... to cut it open so we can replace the bone.
Xiao Luo nodded blankly, thinking that what Yosano Akiko said seemed to make sense. She thought about how she was gnawing on bones and said sensibly, "Then Yosano-neechan must be very tired."
She believed it! Yosano Akiko breathed a sigh of relief.
The little girl was very sensible and thoughtfully offered Yosano Akiko a suggestion: "Then Yosano-neechan, don't use this scalpel, you can use this one."
Yosano Akiko looked in the direction the child was pointing; it was the chainsaw she had just cleaned.
“That’s right!” Yosano Akiko’s eyes instantly changed. She looked at Xiao Luo with agreement, feeling that the little girl had won her heart.
I was just about to have a conversation with the other person about the advantages of using a chainsaw to chop people.
But when he saw the three-headed little Biga, he was instantly doused with a bucket of cold water.
Yosano Akiko clicked her tongue in displeasure. What a pity for such a discerning child.
The curious child's curiosity didn't stop there; she tiptoed, climbed onto the bed, and peered around.
"What's the ribbon on the bed for, Yosano-neechan?"
It's a restraint strap to prevent her from running away while she's stabbing people.
"Why are there dark... or reddish things here?"
It's bloodstains that weren't washed off last time.
"By the way, I haven't asked why there's a chainsaw here yet. Could it be that you and Sister Yono had the same idea?"
Yosano Akiko: ...Which of these questions can she answer?
Help me! Help me! Help me!
The distress signal was finally spotted by his teammates. Edogawa Ranpo slammed open the door and shouted, "Yoshano! Look, the guild has invited Ranpo-sama to a game!"
"Oh?" Upon hearing what Edogawa Ranpo said, Yosano Akiko put down what she was holding and approached him with great interest.
"Games! What games? Little Luo wants to see!" Upon hearing about games, the other child, whose ears had perked up, immediately came running over.
"Hmph!" Edogawa Ranpo looked at the little girl, turned his face away arrogantly, and pouted angrily.
Yosano Akiko looked at the two of them, surprised. Were they having a tantrum?
The little girl stared blankly at the young man's chubby cheeks and his pouting lips, which looked like they could hang an oil drum on. She scratched her face in a daze.
"Are they having a pouty-lip contest? That's so boring, Daddy, maybe you shouldn't participate?" (⊙o⊙)
"That's not it," Edogawa Ranpo meowed angrily. "I'm angry! Angry!"
angry? !
Xiao Luo's eyes widened, and she rolled up her sleeves menacingly, pulled out a pencil from her pocket, and brandished her claws: "Who is it? Who dares to bully Xiao Luo's dad? They're showing no respect to Xiao Luo! Dad, don't be angry, I'll teach the person who offended you a lesson right now."
Edogawa Ranpo: ...
The young man stared at the girl for a long time, then snorted coldly and looked up: "For the sake of you being my daughter, Lord Ranpo will not hold it against you."
Little Luo was listening intently to Ranpo's father register, and after hearing what he said...
The little girl thought carefully about what Edogawa Ranpo meant.
Then, with a calm expression, she slowly put away the pencil and said casually, "Dad, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue playing our game."
Edogawa Ranpo: ...
After the father and daughter finished their subtle exchange, the child curiously used Edogawa Ranpo's hand to rummage through the invitation.
She tiptoed to look curiously, then read out each word slowly and deliberately: "An invitation to Mr. Edogawa Ranpo to participate in... a mystery game?"
Reasoning? What kind of reasoning? Is it using this and that to find the answer to that question?
The little girl's expression turned serious as she began to think intently.
"That's right, would you like to go and see it? Lord Ranpo can take you."
Edogawa Ranpo noticed Koro's confusion and generously explained, "The so-called mystery game is just a question that Ranpo-sama can see at a glance..."
"...It's mathematics!"
Edogawa Ranpo's boastful words were interrupted by the child. The little girl's expression held a hint of despair, and she said with a sense of hopelessness.
Use this (formula) and this (number), and you'll know the answer to that question.
In an instant, the children remembered the frog jumping on lotus leaves that their teacher had played with them.
Why would such a vicious game exist?
They actually placed such a vicious thing on the frog's only way home, preventing the poor frog from getting home.
I never even considered the possibility of solving the puzzle and sending the little frog home.
For the first time, the child showed admiration for his father, exclaiming, "Dad, you're really amazing!" It was obvious at a glance.
Looking at the little girl praising him so earnestly, Edogawa Ranpo felt no surprise whatsoever.
The idea that reasoning and mathematics could be equated has never been conceived.
Edogawa Ranpo pointed at the little boy seriously: "So you're a terrible student!"
“No,” the girl retorted, denying it, “I’m not a bad student, I just don’t want to give half-hearted answers to every subject.”
"Is Xiaoluo's grades bad?" Yosano Akiko, who was standing nearby, understood and said understandingly, "Then we shouldn't bring her along for the guild competition."
Isn't Kunikida Doppo a math teacher? He should be back soon; I can have him teach me.
kid:……
(Panic) What?! Kunikida-nii is a math teacher?!
