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

Ranpo, who had already entered the door, waved his hands vigorously, "Uncle, hurry up!"

Fukuzawa Yukichi took a deep breath and pushed Yosano in. Unexpectedly, there were not many customers in the restaurant. There were only two girls sitting at the innermost table.

A girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen, with long silver hair tied into a high ponytail and indigo eyes like the cherry blossoms blooming in Yokohama Park.

With pale skin, almost pale, and classically delicate facial features, he looks like a mixed-race child, but when he holds the spoon horizontally, he is as light as a swallow, and has the style of the old Chinese.

The little girl next to them was too thin and looked like she was only seven or eight years old. She looked reserved and was secretly looking at them.

He walked straight towards the table. The closer he got, the faster his steps became. Joy was evident from the corners of his eyes, eyebrows, and body movements, almost overflowing.

He was like a little black cat trying to please his owner, wagging his tail and jumping over, revealing his soft belly.

"Ruri-chan, I'm here to see you with uncle and my junior schoolmate!" Ranpo said happily.

Then, Fukuzawa Yukichi heard the older of the two girls say with a gentle smile, "Well done, Ranpo-kun. It's great to have you around."

She pulled Edogawa Ranpo into her arms, gave him an encouraging hug, and let him rub against her shoulders like a little animal.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes went dark, and the image he had imagined in his mind was completely overturned. Not only was she not an older woman, but she was also a girl younger than Ranpo.

"Mr. Fukuzawa, and Akiko, please come over."

Ranpo had already sat on the other side of Ruri, picked up the plate and started eating the snacks. He politely took a portion each to avoid affecting others' enjoyment.

Fukuzawa Yukichi and Yosano Akiko sat on the other side.

"During this time, Mr. Fukuzawa has protected and mentored Ranpo-kun, and I am deeply grateful for your bravery in helping Akiko. You are truly an admirable samurai."

This was said very politely, making Fukuzawa Yukichi feel slightly uncomfortable.

He nodded and replied calmly, "It's my job."

"Well, I'd like to trouble you with another matter. Would you be willing to serve as the president of my detective agency?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was stunned, and he subconsciously looked at Ranpo who was eating.

The other person's cheeks were bulging, like a squirrel with a mouth full of nuts.

After receiving his gaze, Ranpo shrugged naturally, indicating that he should listen to Liuli.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was silent for a moment before he said, "May I know why you did this?"

"There are three reasons."

"First, Ranpo's talent shouldn't be left unused. To be honest, I'm a third-rate novelist. Ranpo's job here is to select letters from readers that need to be responded to as soon as possible."

"Ranpo did a fantastic job."

Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded slightly. This kind of work was a piece of cake for Edogawa Ranpo. Not having to communicate much with others was also conducive to his mental stability.

After meeting again, he also clearly found that Ranpo's worldview had become much more sound and he was very friendly to others.

This young lady has taken very good care of Ranpo. Even if he were to do it, he might not be able to do it to this extent.

Thinking of this, his expression became strange. He felt that he and the other party were just like Ranpo's guardians, discussing the child's education.

"But it's too simple and not conducive to his growth."

"After I asked Ranpo about his wishes, he still didn't have a clear future goal. After all, he is still a child."

After these words were spoken, both Fukuzawa Yukichi and Yosano Akiko next to him had expressions that were difficult to describe.

No, you look even younger than him!

Please don't use your loli appearance to say such married woman things, okay?

"So, we can try a few more, like becoming a consulting detective like Sherlock Holmes in the UK."

“If you do it for a while and don’t like it, try another career.”

"Because I also have work to do, it's not convenient for me to be with Ranpo all the time."

Yosano Akiko noticed that Ranpo pouted and stuffed a large piece of cake into his mouth with a bit of anger.

"Since you can protect Ranpo and take care of him in life, I would like to hire you as the president of the detective agency. What do you think?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi thought about it again and again. He himself had a strong sense of responsibility and was a traditional person like Nakahara Chuuya. He was not good at expressing his feelings, but also found it difficult to refuse other people's kindness.

He once had the idea of ​​establishing an organization, but it was later abandoned.

He simply couldn't refuse the suggestion Liuli made now.

"That is what I wish for, but I dare not ask you." Fukuzawa Yukichi replied.

"That's great. I've already bought a five-story apartment. The first floor will be a coffee shop, the second floor can be used as an office, and the third floor and above can all be used as staff dormitories."

"Ranpo lives on the third floor. You and Akiko can move in directly."

"If Akiko is willing to join the detective agency after graduating from the University of Tokyo, the agency will have a doctor."

Yosano Akiko opened her eyes wide, not understanding why she was suddenly mentioned.

And, go to the University of Tokyo?

Her?

Seeing Yosano's incredulous expression, Ruri explained, "Although supernatural powers are very useful, they still need to be integrated into society. Besides, Akiko should be studying at her age."

"Ranpo-kun can master most of the knowledge through self-study, but for medical students, it would be better to finish college before taking the postgraduate entrance examination."

"You... don't need me to do anything?" Yosano Akiko asked with difficulty.

She hadn't spoken for so long that her voice was as hoarse as a rusty music box.

Her eyes were a mixture of confusion, fear and helplessness.

"I need you to live well." Liuli said gently.

"Because of some of my own abilities..."

Everyone present thought of their special abilities, including Ranpo.

"When I learned about your experience, I thought at that time that there is nothing more shameful in the world than sending children to the battlefield."

"But thankfully, the war is over, and the Undead Legion has become a phantom. From now on, no one will force you to undergo treatment. Whatever decision you make, you can make it on your own."

Yosano Akiko asked in confusion, "Why..."

"Why should I ask someone to save me, and why should I help me..."

"Because I died once." Liuli said this secret lightly.

As she said this, she still held the spoon in her right hand and swirled it around in the coffee cup with an elegant and deft gesture, as if she was chatting.

Ranpo stopped moving, his emerald green eyes were like the surface of a lake hit by a huge rock, causing waves to rise thousands of feet high. A chill rushed from his limbs to his heart, bringing with it a murderous intent that was difficult to describe in words.

Kill it kill it kill it kill it...

Such thoughts almost surged in his heart, making his whole body cold and numb.

Until a hand held his.

The warm touch was transmitted from the fingertips, and all the blood in the body was concentrated in the tightly clenched hands. Ranpo slowly calmed down, and his body temperature began to burn again.

Liuli looked at Yosano's wide eyes and said with a smile, "It hurts quite a bit."

"The whole house, along with everyone inside, was chopped up like dumpling fillings for Chinese New Year... This is a Chinese food that you may not have eaten."

"In short, it was a very painful way to die."

She said it lightly, but the subconscious trembling of her limbs and her pale face were hard to hide.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of the knife at his waist. What kind of vicious person could use such brutal means to kill so many people?

Unforgivable!

"However, due to some unknown special reasons, I came back to life."

Liuli looked at Yosano and smiled gently. "Although I still can't forget the pain of death, when I opened my eyes again and saw the sunlight outside the window, I still thanked God from the bottom of my heart."

"It's great to be alive."

"So, when I learned about your abilities and what you'd been through, I swore to myself that I would save you."

“Whenever I think of your existence, which has given so many people like me a second chance to embrace the world, I feel deeply moved:

Jingzi, you are a beautiful miracle."

"I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for your existence, and for the existence of people like you. Because of you, I have life again."

"'You' saved me, so I'm here to save you."

She took out the butterfly headdress that she had found on the battlefield and had repaired from her pocket and handed it to Yosano Akiko.

"This is a meeting gift, please accept it, Miss Miracle."

Yosano Akiko looked at the familiar headdress, and tears began to fall from her dry eyes before she could speak.

She took the butterfly and tears fell on it, as if the butterfly was crying too.

"No, Miss Liuli, it's great to meet you."

"To me, you are my miracle."

Finally, there was one person in this world who, after coming back from the dead, said to her:

You are so wonderful, you are my miracle!

This is exactly what she wanted to do, to save other people's lives.
