Number One Dad
Noticing everyone's gaze, he immediately spotted the young girl next to the club president. Just one glance...
Edogawa Ranpo shook his head in disbelief: "This is impossible, how could this be!"
The young man clutched his potato chips, incredulous. "Why? How could this happen? Why did I..."
He suddenly realized what he was saying and stopped.
However, seeing Edogawa Ranpo's reaction, what else could those present not understand?
The president looked somewhat dazed, seemingly lost in thought, while those around him wore expressions of gossip.
The little girl in the detective's outfit peeked out curiously, asking Edogawa Ranpo with some doubt, "Are you a detective?"
Edogawa Ranpo's conditioned reflex: "Lord Ranpo is a famous detective, the world's greatest detective."
He knew he was doomed the moment he said those words.
Sure enough, the little boy ran over to Fukuzawa Yukichi excitedly, "Detective! I need your help to find my dad."
As everyone watched the two strikingly similar faces come together, and listened to the child's request,
The girls couldn't help but smile like aunties.
"No! Lord Ranpo doesn't want to!" Edogawa Ranpo shouted like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Xiao Luo remained unmoved, selectively ignoring Edogawa Ranpo's words, and said, "My father is just an ordinary detective..."
"I'm not!" Edogawa Ranpo suddenly sat up, interrupting angrily with a meow, "I'm a famous detective with a special ability called Super Deduction!"
Xiao Luo was confused. "I was talking about my dad, not you."
Edogawa Ranpo lost his temper. He opened his mouth, but still didn't know what to say.
Ignoring the other person's hesitation, Xiao Luo continued, "My dad has green eyes, black hair, and he's a boy."
Xiao Luo discovered this about boys herself; Ling Ling hadn't even figured it out. The little girl was extremely proud of herself. She happily looked up, ready to ask the detective about her father's whereabouts.
Then I saw a familiar description.
"Green eyes..."
Edogawa Ranpo with emerald green eyes: ...
"Black hair..."
Edogawa Ranpo, with his black hair, silently pulled his hat brim tighter.
"An ordinary detective..."
Edogawa Ranpo exploded: "I already said 'famous detective'! He's a famous detective!"
Looking into the child's bright green eyes, which were staring straight at him without blinking,
Edogawa Ranpo immediately shrank back. "W-what are you going to do?" he stammered, his voice lacking confidence.
"Dad!" The child's clear and bright voice echoed in the detective agency.
Edogawa Ranpo: ...
"No! I didn't! You've mistaken me for someone else!" The young man shouted, shrinking into the chair with a terrified expression.
Ignoring the other person's reaction, Xiao Luo happily approached and stared intently at Edogawa Ranpo: "Daddy, you're Daddy, right? Daddy, I've been looking for you for so long! Daddy, do you like me?"
The repeated calls of "Dad!" made Edogawa Ranpo dizzy. He suddenly pulled out a potato chip and stuffed it into the child's mouth, saying fiercely, "Don't stare at Ranpo-sama!"
However, how could a mere potato chip possibly stop children?
Little Luo mumbled, "Why, Daddy?"
"No means no!" Edogawa Ranpo said angrily, noticing the strange smiles on the faces of those around him.
"No way!" the child refused confidently. "I've never seen my dad before, and now that I've finally found him, I want to see all the old photos of him."
Edogawa Ranpo choked, glared at Koro angrily, and turned his head away.
"Ranpo!" Fukuzawa Yukichi gave the two children space to talk, and seeing that they had finally finished, he walked over with a serious expression. "Is Koro your daughter?"
"No!" "That's right!"
The sounds of bristling fur and cheerful voices mingled together.
The members of the detective agency watched as the child who resembled Mr. Ranpo was overjoyed to see his father, while simultaneously giving Edogawa Ranpo disapproving looks.
Edogawa Ranpo: ...
"Even Lord Ranpo doesn't know!" The famous detective deflated, his expression bewildered. "Why would Lord Ranpo have a child? I'm still..."
The young man sighed dejectedly: "It should be..."
So you really are with a woman who is at least forty years old...
Fukuzawa Yukichi's pupils trembled.
Edogawa Ranpo glanced at it and shouted angrily, "How is this possible! Her brother isn't even twenty!"
He angrily tried to prove himself, "Tell me! How old is your mother?"
"I don't know!" the child answered honestly.
Edogawa Ranpo choked, looking at the little girl in disbelief, "How could you be so stupid that you can't even remember your mother's name!"
Little Luo protested, "Does Daddy remember?"
Edogawa Ranpo: ...How could he possibly remember? He doesn't even know who the other person is.
Seeing the doubts in the eyes of those around him about his character, Edogawa Ranpo successfully shut himself up in anger.
