After all of them are reborn, who would still want to marry 2.5 Jo Satoru?

"Ayatsuji Yukito said to me: A fool's wish is no longer a wish, is it?"

There was a slight tremor in Edogawa Ranpo's voice, just like his confused and bewildered heart when he heard this question.

There is no doubt that Edogawa Ranpo knew about Ayatsuji Yukito's existence, just as Ayatsuji Yukito knew him well.

As a veteran sea king, Liuli would never mention another detective in front of another detective. She has never even mentioned Sherlock Holmes, let alone Ayatsuji Yukito.

However, the two detectives had met each other once before, during that disrupted book signing.

A smart person can distinguish friends from enemies at a glance, and can also see the high degree of similarity between others and themselves at a glance.

In just a brief second, Edogawa Ranpo realized that this person was also a black sheep among the flock.

He came here because he was attracted by Liuli and wanted to stay with her.

So Edogawa Ranpo doesn't like Ayatsuji Yukito. You can say it's the repulsion of the same sex, the cat's natural possessiveness, or the resistance of a young child to a more mature adult.

In short, he didn't like him.

But after Liuli left, he still chose to take the initiative to find him.

It is useless to look for Dazai Osamu. Edogawa Ranpo clearly understands Dazai Osamu's nature. This group of black mud spirit will definitely blame the sky, the earth, the king, Mori Ogai, and Edogawa Ranpo after the plan fails.

In his heart, he was certainly wrong, but precisely because of this, no one could escape unscathed.

If I am guilty, then no one is innocent.

And Ayatsuji Yukito is more mature than Dazai Osamu and is more likely to tell him where Ruri plans to go.

At that time, Edogawa Ranpo's mind was a mess. He wanted to find her, but he didn't dare to find her. He wanted to figure out where she was going, but his usually clever brain seemed to be blocked.

No clues can be found and no information can be inferred.

So he went to find Yukito Ayatsuji.

The other party was sitting in the boss's office in the Ganghei Building, admiring the bright moonlight outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. He didn't even listen to what he said, and answered him directly:

"If Miss Liuli wants to see you, I'll tell you where she's going. If you agree, I'll call her right now. What do you think?"

Edogawa Ranpo was speechless.

He lost the courage to nod.

"I..." He stood there with a trembling voice, the word "agree" was about to slip out of his tongue, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Ayatsuji Yukito looked at him quietly, and even sighed for the first time, saying in an ambiguous tone, "I can't believe you're a detective too."

"Ranpo-sama is Ruri's favorite detective!"

This is the only thing that Edogawa Ranpo insists on the most and what he is most proud of.

"You were her favorite detective in the past." Ayatsuji Yukito looked at him indifferently, as if wondering if there was any need to continue talking to him.

Finally, facing Edogawa Ranpo's stunned gaze, he calmly added, "Now, do you still think you are her favorite detective?"

"You're quite confident then."

"But...but..." Ranpo looked at him blankly, or rather at the little girl doll sitting in his arms, and whispered like a child:

"Ranpo-sama just wanted to help her..."

After hearing this, Ayatsuji Yukito looked at him straight in the eye. Seeing this young man, who was not much older than Liuli, standing there in despair, like an abandoned kitten or puppy, he was silent for a moment before asking:

"Is she happy with your help?"

Without waiting for Ranpo to reply, he spoke up himself, "She didn't, because she wanted to leave the country with Randou, and you rejected that wish."

Ayatsuji Yukito said to himself: "To be honest, I don't like poets either. I hate him just as much."

"He's annoying as a detective, and I don't like him as Ms. Liuli's friend either, because he's filled with uncertainty, and he's a real nuisance no matter how you look at him."

"I guess you can tell. He's a problem himself. His identity as a Transcendent is a problem. His partner who's not dead yet is a problem. His relationships in France are also a problem."

"Killing him isn't a bad thing, but why do you have to do it now?"

A genuine look of confusion was written on Ayatsuji Yukito's face. "Why would he do this when Ms. Liuli likes him? Why did he have to reject her wish?"

"I also want Randou to die, but I want to fulfill her wish even more." Ayatsuji Yukito looked at Edogawa Ranpo and seemed to have guessed what he was going to refute, so he replied to him first:

"A fool's wish is still a wish, and a child's wish is still a wish. It's her own choice and needs to be respected."

"That idiot made her own decision. As a smart person, why would you deny her decision? Isn't it your responsibility to back her up?"

Ayatsuji Yukito really didn't understand why Dazai Osamu and Edogawa Ranpo were so anxious to kill Randou.

Even if it is true as they guessed that Lan Tang might change his mind in the future, then Miss Liuli might also change her mind in the future!

Maybe Miss Liuli changes her heart even faster than Lan Tang?

Love is inherently full of uncertainty. It is difficult to bet on something that requires cooperation from both parties to last forever. Who can predict what the future will hold?

So why do you have to kill him when Miss Liuli likes him the most? Can't you wait until he shows signs of changing his heart to kill him?

Or you can wait until Miss Liuli doesn't like him so much before killing him!

"But...Randou's side..." Ranpo opened his eyes wide and struggled to express his thoughts.

"I know there's trouble over at Lan Tang, so go and solve the trouble. There's no need to get rid of the person directly. No matter how many troubles he has, Miss Liuli likes him now."

"If he changes his mind after regaining his memory, I'll make him lose his memory forever. I've been researching this before, and there's a Stand user whose ability is to steal memories, so it's a perfect match."

"He might change his mind in a year or ten years, so wouldn't it be the same to kill him then? Maybe Miss Liuli won't like him anymore by then."

"As for power, Yokohama has books, Morioh Town has arrows, Fuyuki has the Holy Grail, the Kanto region has the King, and there are tons of other things abroad... Why must it be the one from Turan Hall?"

Ayatsuji Yukito was puzzled. "Let's not talk about the fact that his ability might not be transferable. Even if it was, wouldn't it cause trouble if it was used internationally?"

Edogawa Ranpo was speechless.

It's not that he is unaware of the limitations of his thinking, he just can't think of a better way at the moment.

After all, he was not yet twenty years old, had always lived in Yokohama, and his activities were limited to the small island nation. He could not see any more possibilities.

A narrow vision will interfere with the wise brain and make it choose the path that it believes is most likely.

Yokohama's book is vague and illusory, and the arrow has a lot of uncertainty. People who use it may gain abilities or be infected with viruses.

Who knows whether Yosano Akiko's Please Don't Die is useful against the virus? The two abilities are not from the same system.

We have to wait years for Fuyuki's Holy Grail, and since no one has ever won the previous Holy Grail Wars, who knows if it's a scam.

As for the Kings, they sound good, but in reality, each one is shorter-lived than the other. How could Edogawa Ranpo bear to let Ruri try it?

After much calculation, he still felt that Lan Tang was the most economical and cost-effective. It just so happened that now was the time when he loved Liuli the most. If he died for Liuli at this time, the possibility of transferring his supernatural powers would be the greatest.

Ayatsuji Yukito could guess what Edogawa Ranpo was thinking just by looking at his expression. It was difficult for people like them to change their minds, so he just said in the end:

"You can change your mindset. Happiness is a long-term thing, but if you break it down and integrate it into the present, then the most basic happiness is to be happy every day."

"Fulfill her wishes, make up for her shortcomings, win everything she wants, and prevent her from being hurt by anything."

"If she moves forward, I won't retreat; if she moves away, I'll follow her from a distance. If she stops, I'll stay by her side."

"Isn't it a very happy thing to let her be happy every day?"

"And if the long-term happiness you long for comes at the expense of the present, how long will you have to sacrifice the present before you can see the illusory future?"
