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

Fukuzawa Yukichi pushed Yosano Akiko's wheelchair on the way to Yokohama Hospital.

He had a mental picture of Ranpo's guardian: a mature, gentle older woman who would be tolerant enough of Ranpo's mischief and indulge him to the point of becoming spoiled and arrogant.

At the same time, she is fragile and delicate, and needs Ranpo-kun to grow up and protect her, especially in a dangerous place like Yokohama.

Just like the women of the old Chinese clan, she is intelligent and sensitive, able to clearly perceive the trends in the political war situation, but her nerves are so fragile that she may faint at any time.

When meeting a woman like this, you must be extremely cautious...

The tension made Fukuzawa Yukichi's expression even more serious, almost scaring the female salesperson at the convenience store to tears.

Yosano Akiko also pursed her lips tightly, pulling at the hem of her clothes with her fingertips. She could actually walk on her own, but she didn't want to get out of the wheelchair no matter what.

Curled up in this narrow chair gave her a great sense of security, just like a newly hatched bird is reluctant to come out of the eggshell.

What would the woman who asked Ranpo-kun to save me look like?

According to Dazai's mumbling for the past two weeks, the other party was like a cunning witch, luring people into the candy house with words, but refusing to come out to meet him.

It was just like the princess in the folk tale who insisted that the warrior wait outside her house for a hundred nights before she would relent and open the window to show her face.

Dazai Osamu said this.

But from Ranpo-kun's words, she was a fusion of the Fairy Godmother and Snow White, strong yet fragile, smart yet dull, able to protect him yet in need of his protection...

This description is too abstract, as if Ultraman is fused with Godzilla, or My Little Pony is learning magic from Ye Luoli, which makes Yosano Akiko confused.

Adolescent boys are so hard to understand...

Until this moment, she still didn't understand why the other party wanted to save her.

Do you want me to save someone?

Let me continue to commit such a horrible crime of trampling the lives of others into nothing...

Yosano was so nervous that she wanted to tremble again. This was a bad habit she developed in Mori Ogai's clinic. Even though she was not aware of it, she still couldn't suppress her physiological fear of this guy.

"Don't think too much..."

Ranpo, who was walking in front, seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. Without turning his head, he said, "Ruri-chan will never force you. To be more precise, people like Mori are rare in the world."

He murmured soothingly, "Jingzi, you're just unlucky for a while, don't think too much about it."

This comforting rhetoric is even worse than that of Chuuya Nakahara.

In the cake shop next to the hospital, Ruri and Akutagawa Gin were waiting there for the arrival of several people.

Before that, she took Yin to buy a new dress. Yin didn't want her to spend any more money, but was stopped by the words "You will make others think that I am abusing you by doing this".

The clothes were not expensive, and after seeing the price, Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike Ranpo, who can accept everything with confidence, the Akutagawa siblings have not yet learned to accept the kindness from others.

Looking back on the past, all they have learned is the stress response when facing tragedy and malice. Kindness is a word as unattainable as a happy life.

Akutagawa Gin sat stiffly next to Ruri. Ruri was holding a picture album of the cake shop. Her fingertips moved from top to bottom. Soon, all kinds of snacks filled the entire table.

"Butter cookies, coconut tarts, Portuguese egg tarts, chocolate lava cakes, cheesecakes, flower cakes, cream puff pastry boxes..."

Liuli read out their names one by one, and Yin was dazzled by the beautiful appearance and sweet aroma of the various snacks. She felt as if she was in a dream.

"Although we ordered a lot, there will be three more people coming back soon, so the portion is just right," Liuli said. "Everyone try some and see what flavor you like best."

"Okay, okay." She didn't know what to say except nodding.

It was as if I was in hell in the morning and now I was in heaven. The happiness seemed unreal.

Not far away, Ranpo quickened his pace excitedly. The person he wanted to see and the snacks he wanted to eat appeared in front of him, making him no longer feel tired while walking.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was a little discouraged. The cake shop right in front of them looked like a check-in attraction. The whole shop was wrapped in a girlish atmosphere, pink and sweet.

It was totally out of place for an old-school warrior like him.

If he goes in, will he really not scare the girls who are shopping into tears?

Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't help but think.
