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

"Yes, there are several important letters today, so I asked someone to pick them up in advance."

"You don't have to apologize. It's me who should make amends. I'm so sorry for not telling the post office in advance."

"Okay, please send tomorrow's mail directly to your door."

In the living room, Liuli held the phone in one hand, explaining the reason to the anxious post office staff, and placed the other hand on the computer keyboard, working hard to finish the manuscript, trying to finish today's content as soon as possible.

Edogawa Ranpo sat on the sofa in the living room, swinging his legs and stuffing snacks into his mouth.

Liuli's home always has a variety of snacks, including butter cookies, coconut tarts, cheesecakes, rose crepes, strawberry macarons, yokan, raw eight bridges, and Japanese confectionery...

Some of them were made by Liuli herself, and some were bought by Lan Tang from outside.

I don’t know why, but this silly Frenchman not only likes to buy little dresses, but also particularly likes to buy various snacks and store them at home.

Liuli often wondered if he was worried that his weak and helpless sister would starve to death when he was not at home.

Like the silly woman in the old story who couldn't even turn the cake around her neck after her husband left.

Now all these snacks have gone into Edogawa Ranpo's stomach.

He was kicked out by the post office yesterday morning. Because he kept losing letters, the post office staff angrily kicked him out without paying him a penny.

So from yesterday morning to this morning, he didn't eat anything.

Hunger made him feel that he could no longer survive.

In other words, he simply doesn't have the ability to live independently in this society.

The call ended. Ranpo swallowed a mouthful of dessert, his expression filled with anger and confusion. "Why did the postman pretend not to know? He clearly knew it was Ranpo-sama who took it."

"The adults' bad taste is really confusing!"

Liuli came over, took out a tissue and helped him wipe the snack crumbs from the corners of his mouth.

"Because he's playing the role of a fool."

Liuli had a peaceful smile on her face, her eyes curved, but her words were full of meaning, "Ranpo-kun, this world is a huge stage."

"Some people play the wise, some play the foolish, some play the strong, and some play the weak. These roles are fixed at birth."

"Those who you think are pretending not to know are really just being stupid!"

Ranpo's expression became bewildered. "Is that so? Everyone is playing their own role..."

He opened his eyes wide and asked anxiously, "What is my role then? What should I do?"

Ranpo was eager to find the answer. He didn't understand why the outside world was so scary. The whole world was like a glass fish tank placed in the sea, and he was a shark trapped in it that had not yet grown up.

I tried my best to swim into the ocean, but was blocked by the transparent glass and could only hit my head and bleed.

“We must first understand that the role is not singular.”

"Look, just like the postman just now, he was born into a role that was fixed as a fool, and then he chose the career of a postman, so he is a—"

Ranpo quickly replied, "Stupid postman!"

"That's right." Liuli smiled and continued, "And you, Edogawa Ranpo——"

Facing Ranpo's sparkling eyes, she smiled and said, "You were born into a role of genius. A genius is someone who is extremely smart, just like your parents."

Ranpo jumped for joy. He thought of his parents and nodded repeatedly, "So, Dad plays the role of a genius policeman, and Mom plays the role of a genius housewife."

"That's right." Liuli nodded in agreement. "First of all, you are a genius. As for the career you choose later, you still have to try it yourself."

"But no matter what, when playing any role, you must be serious and conscientious."

"Just like the postman before, he played the role of a fool. So, as a fool, he didn't know that the package was taken away by you. At the same time, he also played the role of a postman, so he had to call me to confirm the situation and fulfill his duties."

"Look, he played both roles very well, didn't he?"

Ranpo quieted down and nodded seriously, "Mr. Postman is amazing. He plays both roles very well."

After a pause, he asked, "So, my instructors and classmates at the police academy also played the role of idiots?"

"Yes."

"The florist who hired me is also playing the fool?"

"Yes."

"The owner of the dim sum shop too?"

"Yes."

"In that case, wouldn't it be just you and Ranpo-sama who are the geniuses? There are so few geniuses!"

Liuli couldn't help laughing. She pushed her hair behind her ears and whispered, "The reason why geniuses are called geniuses is because there are very few of them. There are so many people in the world, and only a very few can play the role of a genius."

"There are many, many idiots who want to play geniuses, but they have no choice, because this is how the world is. It needs a few geniuses and many, many idiots. Only in this way can the world operate in an orderly manner."

"Also, Ranpo-kun, you're wrong. The character I played was also an idiot."

Ranpo's eyes widened, but instead of questioning her, he said, "Then your acting is really bad. Mr. Postman's acting is much better than yours."

"Because I play a fool who longs to become a genius, this role is very complicated to play." Liuli said.

"It does sound difficult." Ranpo thought for a moment and stood up solemnly. He was half a head taller than Liuli, and his expression was serious and solemn, far beyond his age and previous performance.

"In that case, Lord Ranpo will help you."

"Ranpo-sama plays the genius being commanded by an idiot, and you play the idiot commanding the genius. Being able to command the greatest genius, doesn't that prove that you've become a more powerful genius than him?"

"You have a genius that is entirely yours. Would you be happier playing a role like this?"

At that moment, Liuli was moved by him.
