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

In a sense, the meeting between Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi seemed destined, at least that's what Ruri felt.

One day, after Ranpo stuffed the letter into Ruri's mailbox as usual, he wandered around bored.

The house he lived in was only two blocks away from here. He walked this road several times every day and would not get lost even with his eyes closed.

Bookstores, Japanese confectionery shops, cake shops, coffee shops...

He walked past one shop after another, with no intention of going in. He was in a bad mood for a long time.

Ranpo kicked the pebbles on the road indignantly. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He couldn't help but droop his head, like a little black cat who found his owner blatantly visiting a cat cafe.

"What? You have a cat at home, but you have more than one stray cat outside. Ranpo-sama is worried about you every day, and you actually go to watch a movie and eat snacks with other stray cats..."

"That's too much! That's too much!"

"It's not enough to just keep a ginger cat outside, but there's actually another stray cat that came to our house. Ranpo-sama was kept outside, and he actually dared to come to our house!"

As a domestic cat raised outside by Liuli, he still has an indescribable sense of superiority, and would justifiably look down on anyone except Lan Tang.

But for Dazai Osamu who took the initiative to come to him, Edogawa Ranpo rarely felt unhappy. Even if they didn't meet, he could feel it:

The other party also plays the role of a genius.

Two black sheep simultaneously stepped onto the stage full of white sheep.

"As long as Liuli has a genius like Ranpo-sama by her side, it will be enough. The two of us complement each other and need each other. There is no need for a third person to intervene."

A fool can only complement a genius, like Ruri and Edogawa Ranpo.

A weak person can only complement a strong person, like Liuli and Lantang.

Even though Randou doesn't know of his existence now, Ranpo still believes that the three of them are part of one country.

He was willing to accept Lan Tang, the violent one, to join. If that didn't work, he could add the orange cat outside. Anyway, the two of them and Lord Ranpo were not on the same track.

They are strong, but also stupid.

Only Ranpo-sama is the smart one!

But the new cat that came to the door was different. It was obvious that the cat's track overlapped with Lord Ranpo's.

He must never be allowed into the house, even if he is kept outside.

Edogawa Ranpo was thinking in his mind that as long as Ruri wasn't at home every time he came, and he was turned away a few more times, this guy would probably give up.

You can't have two black cats in one home, or even two homes.

Thinking of this, his mood improved a little, so he walked briskly to buy a few bowls of rice cake and red bean soup.

Liuli paid him a daily salary to prevent him from spending all his monthly salary, but the money he received every day was enough for him to eat a hundred bowls of rice in a row.

He liked to eat this kind of sweet snack because the first time Liuli took him to dinner, the table was filled with red bean rice cake soup.

Since then, it has become his favorite food.

As he walked forward, a person with long silver hair and wearing a kimono suddenly called him. Edogawa Ranpo stopped and turned to look.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the young man whom he hadn't seen for more than a year. He was wearing neat and straight clothes that looked quite expensive.

Her cheeks were much fuller than when I first met her, and there was a hint of arrogance and innocence in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was being taken care of very carefully.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's frown relaxed. "Have you... found a job yet?"

"Hey? It's you, uncle." Edogawa Ranpo certainly still remembered Fukuzawa Yukichi. Although this uncle also played the role of a fool, he was also playing a good person at the same time.

Liuli said that the role of a good guy is extremely difficult to play, and those who can play it well are very capable people.

The more he learned about the diversity of the characters, the more he liked the roles played by Liuli.

A fool who wants to be a genius, a weak person who wants to be strong, neither good nor bad. In Liuli's own words, it should be:

An ordinary passerby.

That sounds great!

If the role played by Ruri-chan is a passerby, Ranpo thought, then I will start to like the role of passerby.

If such a good Liuli is a passerby, then the passerby must be the best character!

"I found it. It's a great job. The daily salary is enough to buy a hundred bowls of red bean rice cake soup." Ranpo said with a proud tone.

"Besides, the person who hired me is the best and most talented person in the world."

Fukuzawa Yukichi's expression softened considerably, and his sharp eyes softened. "That's good..."

"So, uncle, do you want to come and protect me?" Edogawa Ranpo asked, "You don't have a job yet, right?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was stunned. He continued, "Ruri-chan has always wanted to find someone to take care of me and protect me. Are you willing?"

With the uncle's help, he can take away the girl with special abilities that Liuli needs.

Ranpo thought confidently, I am the one who can help the most!
