After a long negotiation, Roald Dahl and Fukuzawa Yukichi finally reached a consensus.

"Then the next step is to ask Dun's opinion. You have convinced me that if he is willing, I will not object to it."

The silver-haired swordsman said in a deep voice that Fukuzawa Yukichi's scrutiny of Roald Dahl had not diminished much, but overall it was much friendlier than before.

"Of course. Forceful buying is not my style." The man in a lavender velvet tuxedo said with a smile, looking in a good mood.

Perhaps because of the successful negotiation, Roald Dahl's steps were so brisk that he jumped to the door like a nimble goat.

It was only because of his excessive agility that the action of opening the door apparently caused some commotion.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sound of objects falling to the ground outside, in a rhythmic manner.

The eavesdropping members were obviously not prepared for this and were directly brought to the ground and played stacking.

"We are playing stacking, ha, ha, ha, ha." Nakajima Atsushi, who was pinned at the bottom by Miyazawa Kenji, was extremely embarrassed and tried to get away with it with tears in his eyes.

This crude acting immediately made Kunikida Dopo, who was standing nearby, cover his face with his hands, looking as if he couldn't bear to watch.

"Boss, it was my fault. I failed to stop them."

Seeing Fukuzawa Yukichi's livid face, Kunikida Dopo took a deep breath. He still couldn't bear to watch those younger members doing stupid things. Even though a young man who always wore a light-colored windbreaker had somehow mixed in with them, he stepped forward and tried to get leniency.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was about to say something, but seeing his own employee behaving like this in front of the guests, even he felt like covering his face.

"What lively kids! Do you want some candy?" Roald Dahl said before him, pulling out a lot of colorful candies from his hat like a magic trick and distributing them to everyone enthusiastically. He didn't seem to be angry at this childish behavior at all. "You guys have a really good atmosphere. Are you worried about Dun?"

"But I have reached a consensus with Mr. Fukuzawa. Next," the man did not continue speaking, but leaned down slightly and said to Nakajima Atsushi, who was still pressed to the ground and doubting his life, "I wonder if I can talk to Atsushi alone?"

"Hey, hey, just with me?" Nakajima Atsushi raised a finger with difficulty and pointed at himself. He seemed a little hesitant, but the encouragement in the man's caramel eyes calmed him down. "Of course!"

***********

Following Roald Dahl, Nakajima Atsushi still felt a little uneasy.

He had vaguely heard the conversation between the president and Mr. Dahl through the crack in the door, in which they vaguely mentioned "respecting his own wishes" and so on, but if he was really asked to make the decision himself later, Nakajima Atsushi would be a little hesitant.

That's a huge multinational company. Is it really his turn to get such a good thing? Nakajima Atsushi was also doubting his life today. He was immersed in his own troubles. Not only did he walk a little unsteadily, he didn't even hear the man's call.

"Dun?" Roald Dahl stopped, turned around and looked at Nakajima Atsushi, and called out again. This time Nakajima Atsushi finally heard him.

Nakajima Atsushi suddenly came to his senses and almost bumped into Roald Dahl in front of him, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"I-I'm here, Mr. Dale, and I'm so sorry I was distracted."

"It's okay. Don't worry about it, kid. Maybe we need a more private place. Although I think my big glass elevator is great, I'm afraid you won't be happy with it."

The man in the chocolate-colored top hat smiled amiably again and half-jokingly said that he was always good at easing Nakajima Atsushi's nervousness.

Big glass elevator? Thinking of that magical elevator, Nakajima Atsushi shook his head quickly.

Although the glass elevator can be perfectly invisible to other people, you can still see the busy streets outside from inside. This is too

Too embarrassing, he thought.

He quickly said, "I know a place, the Whirlpool Cafe. The snacks there are delicious. If Mr. Dahl likes sweets, I highly recommend that you go and try it!"

"Desserts? I'm a die-hard sweets lover. Since Atsushi recommends it like this, I must try it." Roald Dahl agreed very enthusiastically, which made Atsushi Nakajima feel a little embarrassed.

The white-haired boy shyly stepped forward.

"Then, I will be responsible for leading the way!"

The Vortex Cafe was very close, just on the next floor, so they chose a quiet booth and sat down.

The meal was served very quickly. Nakajima Atsushi ate the strawberry mousse cake with his spoon nervously, secretly looking at the man opposite him from time to time.

But the mousse cake, which was not very big, was finished in a short while.

Nakajima Atsushi looked up, and the candy merchant named Roald Dahl immediately said to him with enthusiasm: "Would you like some, Atsushi? The desserts and drinks in this cafe are really good."

"No, Mr. Dahl, I'm actually full. Let's get to the point." Nakajima Atsushi Tanizaki said bravely in a tone that could be described as ready to die.

"Then I'll be frank. When do you plan to come and study with me?" the man asked with a smile.

"If you think I'm not suitable, I can just give up... Hey!" Nakajima Atsushi was originally muttering to herself, but soon she screamed in surprise at the man's call.

"So you want to return the goods or something..." Nakajima Atsushi said in a low voice, but his beautiful purple-gold eyes lit up instantly.

The gentleman in the lavender tuxedo laughed.

"Of course not. So, are you willing to be my successor?"

Those caramel-colored eyes were filled with friendliness and encouragement, causing Nakajima Atsushi to speak his true feelings involuntarily.

"I would like to!" Nakajima Atsushi said excitedly, "Mr. Dahl is the most imaginative person I have ever met, and those workshops are so cool!"

Those strange candy factories really made the children irresistible, and the reaction of the white-haired boy obviously made Roald Dahl look very happy.

"Moreover, Mr. Dahl brought happiness to everyone." Nakajima Atsushi had seen the children who were happy because of these miraculous candies, and Dahl's company's charitable work was also world-famous. No matter from which perspective, he had many admirations for Roald Dahl in his heart.

"I, I also want to be such a person." Nakajima Atsushi said a little embarrassedly, but his eyes were much firmer than before.

Roald Dahl's smile widened.

"That would be great. If possible, how about we set off now?"

"Eh, now?" Nakajima Atsushi was obviously surprised by such dynamism, but he quickly jumped up from his seat with great enthusiasm, "How do we get there?"

"Of course, we'll use the glass elevator. You can say goodbye to your friends, and if they want, you can even take the elevator together and come to my place for a visit," Roald Dahl said in a gentle tone.

************

The glass elevator easily accommodated the entire Armed Detective Agency, and even after everyone was up, the space inside was still much larger than Nakajima Atsushi had imagined.

This made Nakajima Atsushi, who had been worried about whether there would be enough space, breathe a sigh of relief.

Roald Dahl pressed a few buttons and a number of handles and safety straps suddenly dropped from the ceiling.

"Now that everyone is ready, let's go!" The man's voice sounded very excited.

"How do we get back?" Kunikida Dopo couldn't help but ask since it was his first time using this mode of transportation.

"Of course we have to go back from above!" For some reason the man's voice sounded decisive.

"What did you say?" Kunikida Dobu frowned subconsciously, very confused.

"We are going to return the same way, of course.

"The higher the better," the man in the lilac tuxedo pressed a few buttons on the wall, "after all, it's not easy to knock another hole in the ceiling."

Before anyone could react to this statement, with a dull thud, the glass elevator shot off from the ground like an arrow.

Everything around them suddenly became smaller and smaller, and soon the colors around them were replaced by a blue color.

"Is it high enough, Mr. Dahl?" Nakajima Atsushi managed to make a sound.

"Not enough!" The man's voice seemed to come from far away.

It turns out that no matter how many times I do it, I can't get used to it! Nakajima Atsushi screamed in his heart. The feeling of weightlessness made him feel his stomach churning, and his tongue was firmly thrown onto his palate, making it difficult for him to even speak.

This time the ascent seemed to take much longer than the last time they came here, but perhaps because he had kept his eyes closed, trying to fight the feeling of weightlessness, Nakajima Atsushi did not notice this at first.

But soon he had to take notice.

It should have been daytime when they ascended, but the sky seemed to have suddenly darkened.

The first person to discover all this was Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Although the rise brought a series of adverse reactions, he always kept an open mind.

The ambient light rarely became so dim, and at the same time, gravity seemed to disappear.

All the members of the Armed Detective Agency, including Roald Dahl, lifted their feet off the ground and slowly floated up like fish, as if they were in the water.

But at the same time, the ascent stopped. Nakajima Atsushi opened his eyes and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

"Hey, this, this, where is this place?" the white-haired boy shouted as if he was doubting his life.

He waved his limbs in the air like a drowning man, trying to get himself back to the ground, but perhaps he was exerting his strength in the wrong direction, and he actually flew upwards like a small rocket, and his head made a solid contact with the top of the elevator. The crisp sound was so painful that it hurt.

"Ouch, it hurts!" Nakajima Atsushi rubbed the place where he was hit and gasped, not daring to move anymore.

Seeing Nakajima Atsushi rolling in the air with his hands on his head, the other members of the Armed Detective Agency couldn't help but laugh. This eased some of their earlier panic, but it didn't make them completely ignore the current situation.

"Mr. Dahl, may I ask what is going on now? How did we get here?" Fukuzawa Yukichi spoke first, giving his members a soothing look, and his words were almost everyone's questions.

"Well, there were some minor incidents." Roald Dahl spoke in a very serious tone, which was quite convincing if you ignored the fact that he was hanging upside down in the air.

"For some reason, well," the candy merchant said with a playful wink, "we accidentally exceeded the influence of the earth's gravity."

"That means we are now in space! Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to leave Earth's orbit!"
