Number One Dad
The child's face flushed red instantly, and she twisted her body shyly, "This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
A hint of confusion flashed in the girl's eyes, but she resolutely handed it over again.
Does Mr. Ranpo's child not like flowers?
But Xiao Luo shyly clutched the hem of her clothes and murmured, "If Xiao Luo doesn't accept, will you be sad, sister?"
Izumi Kyoka nodded earnestly; of course she would be sad.
There was no other way then, so the child made up his mind, "Okay, I'll accept my sister's proposal."
A marriage proposal? The girl holding the little flower gradually lost her composure, and the flower withered along with her.
So... was she proposing?
But she didn't know that the child had already agreed, so she couldn't go back on her word.
Does this mean she's going to marry Xiao Luo in the future?
In a flash, Izumi Kyoka thought far ahead. She glanced at Nakajima Atsushi beside her and made up her mind: "I'm sorry! I can't be with you. I still want to live with Atsushi."
The young person, about to enter the hall of marriage, with their heart pounding and their soul fluttering, suddenly had their heart shattered.
The child stared wide-eyed in disbelief, indignantly asking, "Why?! Is this a case of 'the wildflowers smell sweeter than the garden flowers'?"
Everyone: ...
Pfft!
In the president's office, Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Edogawa Ranpo with a serious expression.
"Ranpo, is Koro really your child?"
"Ranpo-sama doesn't know, but that's what Koro thinks, and that's what God-sama does too."
The young man in the detective's outfit pulled his hat brim down further, puffed out his cheeks, and huffed, "How could the club president think of me like that! I was only a teenager back then, how could I... how could I!"
The young and naive detective couldn't bring himself to say that he had been slept with.
"Anyway!" Edogawa Ranpo glared angrily, "Little Loli wasn't born from Ranpo-sama and another woman. Since it's not from the supernatural side, we should guess it's from the technological side. How could you guess..."
Fukuzawa Yukichi's expression changed. The technology side? Indeed, many people had been spying on Ranpo's mind, but they only assumed it was related to supernatural abilities.
Who discovered Xiao Luo and created her? Does that experiment still exist? Why did Xiao Luo come here?
Fukuzawa Yukichi's mind raced with thoughts, and the more he guessed, the uglier his face became.
In the end, it was Edogawa Ranpo who stopped him, "President, it's not what you think! She didn't create this specifically for me." Edogawa Ranpo rolled around on the sofa in anguish.
"Ugh, they're just trying to cling to Ranpo-sama. Ranpo-sama isn't even an adult yet, why should they be taking care of a child!"
Fukuzawa Yukichi, of course, believed Edogawa Ranpo's words; it wasn't what he thought. The silver-haired man, whose expression was serious, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lai?" He was still somewhat puzzled.
Edogawa Ranpo slumped onto the sofa, fuming, and muttered, "Yes, Koro isn't from this world. I don't know what happened before, but..."
The black-haired youth looked very angry. "They were recruited by the God of our world, and instead of raising them ourselves, they were given to Lord Ranpo. This is just too much—."
A loud bang suddenly echoed in the cloudless sky, and a yellow lightning bolt flashed across the clear blue sky in broad daylight.
Edogawa Ranpo: ...
The young man angrily shut his mouth. It was clearly the truth, yet he wouldn't even be allowed to say it. God was really going too far!
Outside, Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, who was helping his sister take care of the child, looked up blankly and asked, "Wasn't it supposed to be a sunny day today?"
Kenji Miyazawa, who was carrying files for his colleagues in the office, passed by and exclaimed in surprise, "So it's possible for thunder to suddenly appear on a sunny day!"
Is this what a big city is like?
The little girl next to her overheard this and immediately looked up with bright eyes: "So it turns out that it can thunder even on sunny days in big cities! Xiao Luo should tell her brother when she gets home that she wants to move to the big city with him!"
"Wait!" Jun'ichirō Tanizaki's expression instantly turned panicked. How could he have led Ranpo-sensei's child astray like this? The boy hurriedly crawled over, waving his arms and legs excitedly, and anxiously explained to the little girl, "Big cities don't have thunder on sunny days, no, no, no, big cities do have thunder on sunny days, no, no, big cities..."
"Yes, Brother Tanizaki, you don't need to say anything. I know. Only big cities experience thunder on sunny days. That's amazing." The little girl looked at the boy, who was sweating profusely and rambling incoherently. She affectionately patted Tanizaki Jun'ichirō's head and explained it to him.
Junichiro Tanizaki:.
"Ah, the way my brother and little girl look together is so cute!"
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, looking utterly bewildered and on the verge of tears, turned to his younger sister, whose hands were clasped tightly against her cheeks, her face flushed.
"Naomi!"
The girl revealed a charming smile, the prominent beauty mark under her left eye adding to her beauty. Naomi Tanizaki, with a radiant smile, lifted her brother's chin, her waist-length, smooth black hair falling to the ground with her movement.
"It's so heartwarming to see my brother so anxious he's about to cry," Naomi Tanizaki said excitedly as she pounced on Junichiro Tanizaki. "I'm helping you take care of that little girl, how are you going to repay me?"
"Wait! Naomi, don't put your hands there! There are children here, let's wait until we get home!!"
"What are you doing! What are you doing!" The girl's back was barely visible, obscured by the coffee table. Xiao Luo wished her neck could grow longer at the sound.
