Number One Dad
Kunikida Doppo:......
Calm down! Calm down! The president is still here!
Trying to remain calm, Kunikida looked up, hoping to ignore his ailing partner, and then met a pair of emerald green eyes.
He suddenly realized who the little girl who had said she wanted to commit suicide with Dazai Osamu was.
"Dazai Osamu!!!"
Kunikida Doppo was so enraged that he didn't even care that the company president was standing next to him. He actually dared to! Dazai Osamu actually invited Ranpo's daughter to commit suicide together!!
"Ah! Kunikida is so fierce! He must have scared Xiao Luo. Waaah, poor Xiao Luo, she just had a cry and then she ran into such a fierce uncle."
Dazai Osamu lazily got up, covered his ears, and pretended to be sad.
"Damn it, I'm only twenty-two!" Kunikida Doppo shouted subconsciously, then realized his mistake and looked at Koro apologetically, "Did I scare you? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Although Xiao Luo didn't understand why the other person was apologizing, since they apologized, it must be their fault.
"A gift!" the child said matter-of-factly, holding out his hand. "Brother said that any apology without a gift is just empty talk and lies! Where's Brother Kunikida's apology gift?"
Kunikida Doppo was stabbed in the chest. So, in the eyes of the children, he was a philandering scumbag?
The blond youth frantically rummaged through his pockets, looking for a gift to apologize to the child.
Dazai Osamu remained silent. He was prepared to tell Kunikida Doppo, with a mischievous grin, that he had lied to the child when he was puzzled. But Koro just accepted it!
I've accepted it...
Dazai Osamu calmly took a step back, anticipating Kunikida's arrival with the Fist of Justice, and called out to him with a smile: "Kunikida!"
Kunikida Doppo looked over in confusion, while Dazai Osamu smiled and said, "I was just kidding you!"
"W-what?!" Kunikida Doppo froze for a moment, then flew into a rage, throwing a punch while roaring, "Dazai!!!"
He then realized something was wrong. The blond young man tried to calm himself down, pushed up his glasses, and slowly turned his head to look at the little boy who was still staring at him with expectant eyes.
"you……"
The little girl's bright eyes sparkled like stars as she declared confidently, "Brother Kunikida, a present!"
Kunikida Happiness, who has always loved children, clutched her chest and calmly thought that children don't understand. When they see her apologizing, they think she really did something wrong, which is normal.
It was my own fault; I listened to Dazai Osamu's slander, and sure enough...
Kunikida Doppo clenched his fists, still determined to give Dazai Osamu a good beating.
Having received a long-overdue gift, the child happily ate the small cake.
Seeing the child eating so happily, Fukuzawa Yukichi's expression softened.
"Little Luo!"
"Hmm? Hmm!" Koro, her mouth full of small cakes, looked up at Fukuzawa Yukichi with a confused expression.
“After you finish eating, I’ll take you to see someone!” Fukuzawa Yukichi said earnestly.
Little Luo's eyes lit up: "Is it a detective who can find Daddy?"
Fukuzawa Yukichi pondered with a serious expression, realizing that there didn't seem to be any problem with that explanation.
So he nodded seriously.
"Yay!" The little girl happily abandoned her beloved Dazai Osamu, smacking her lips excitedly, and then mumbled through her mouth, "I'm finished eating, Uncle, let's go!"
Fukuzawa Yukichi remained motionless: "Swallow it before you leave."
Little Luo puffed out her cheeks unhappily... but couldn't. She chewed hard a couple of times, then pouted unhappily... but couldn't pout.
...
The child, who had swallowed everything, angrily accused, "Uncle, you're bullying me!"
Fukuzawa Yukichi was puzzled. He calmly stood up, took the child's hand, and said, "Let's go."
Kunikida Doppo immediately stood up: "Me too!"
Dazai Osamu, standing nearby, was also filled with curiosity: "I want to go too!" He had confirmed that Koro was not a product of supernatural abilities.
So, is the other person really Mr. Ranpo's child?
*
Edogawa Ranpo, the world's greatest detective, was comfortably sitting in his office in the absence of his guardian. Leaning back in his chair, he happily picked up a bag of potato chips and started munching away.
Halfway through his meal, he keenly heard a series of "wow" sounds coming from the clerical office area outside.
The man in the detective's outfit—or more accurately, a young man, as he looked far too young, with a childlike face—suddenly looked up.
Something's wrong. The president should be back at this time, but he's back later than usual. Something must have happened on the way...
Is it related to me?
Before even seeing the person, he had already deduced most of the situation. Edogawa Ranpo curiously raised his head and looked over.
Finally, the group walked in in a grand procession.
I just happened to be passing by the door.
As the woman wearing a butterfly hair clip passed by the door, she saw the president and was about to greet him when her gaze fell on the little girl in the detective's outfit next to her.
The words of greeting stuck in her throat. Looking at the other person's face, which resembled Edogawa Ranpo so much, Yosano Akiko felt a thousand words converge into one: "Wow!"
Edogawa Ranpo: ...
