Chapter 1000: Leader (4)
'Crash--'
The bathtub was filled with water, but because of the entry of humans, countless water sources overflowed.
Yun Ci submerged her entire body in the water, leaving only her head exposed.
Her long, inky black hair was tied into a bun, standing high on top of her head, with only a few shorter strands playfully scattered on her elf ears.
Yun Ci looked at the steam swirling in the room and slowly closed her eyes.
"——For snacks, I recommend this."
When Yun Ci was standing in front of the snack shelf hesitating, a hand suddenly appeared in her sight and pointed at a large bag of potato chips on the shelf.
"If you don't take it, then I'll take it first."
The smiling man stood next to Yun Ci. Seeing that Yun Ci didn't move, he walked up to her, took two bags and put them in his shopping cart.
It seemed like he was annoyed that Yun Ci was standing there for too long before he spoke to her. He took the money and left.
Yun Ci didn't think much about it, and finally picked up a pack of his recommendations and put it in her shopping cart.
Unexpectedly, when I finished shopping and was about to find a restaurant to eat, I saw the man again on the roadside.
When he saw Yun Ci, his eyes lit up and he strode towards her: "We meet again."
Yun Ci: “?”
"How about doing a favor for the famous detective?"
He was talking to himself, saying that he had walked too far and forgot how to get back to the detective agency, so he needed help.
Although Yun Ci was confused, she still listened to the whole thing and waited until he stopped talking before saying, "I'm sorry, I don't know where the detective agency you are talking about is."
"It's the red building with a coffee shop on the first floor!" He said confidently, "You've been there for coffee. Let me think... Mocha?"
Yunci: ...
Although I remembered it when you mentioned it, but it's so scary to be suddenly pointed out where I went and what I drank after such a long time...
"Were you there that day?"
"No."
"then you……"
"I've already told you that I'm a famous detective, and a famous detective of course makes his decisions based on reasoning." He put his hands on his hips, "Alright, let's go!"
"Ok."
This child looks to be only about ten years old, so just give him a gift.
Yunci is very tolerant.
"The place you mentioned should be this way."
"it is good!"
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Edogawa Ranpo."
"My name is Yunci."
"I know."
"what?"
"Isn't it normal for a famous detective to know such trivial matters?"
Yun Ci: “…”
Seems like, no?
This familiar feeling always gives me a feeling of 'long time no see'.
"——We're here." Yun Ci stood downstairs, "Is this the place?"
"Now that we're here, come up and sit down!"
As Edogawa Ranpo said this, he grabbed Yunci's wrist and led her into the building.
Yun Ci understood.
"Mr. Edogawa, this is why you asked me to come here, right?" Yun Ci asked, "You want me to go to that detective agency? Why?"
Edogawa Ranpo pressed the elevator button, the bag of snacks hanging on his wrist still shaking.
He turned around and looked at Yun Ci: "Why bother asking so many questions? Just take it if you want to."
Yun Ci did not sense any ill will from Edogawa Ranpo, and because of the slight curiosity in her heart, she did not refuse.
only……
"I'll follow you, now can you let go of my hand?"
Edogawa Ranpo glanced at her, let go of her hand, and rubbed it on his clothes with a hum.
It's like saying: You dislike me? I dislike you too!
——Just like a little child.
The elevator dinged and stopped on the 4th floor with two people in it.
As soon as the elevator door opened a crack, Edogawa Ranpo rushed out and headed straight for the president's office.
Yun Ci looked at the door with the sign of "Armed Detective Agency" and then looked at the president's office in front of her, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should follow.
Edogawa Ranpo stuck his head out and waved at Yun Ci.
In the office, a man wearing a kimono and with a serious face was sitting at the tea table, looking at Yun Ci with sharp eyes.
"Boss, that's her."
Edogawa Ranpo jumped to the side, lazily sat on the stool and started eating snacks.
"I'm Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president of the Armed Detective Agency. I heard from Ranpo that Miss Yunci is looking for a job?"
Yun Ci suddenly looked at Edogawa Ranpo, and the corners of Edogawa Ranpo's mouth raised, looking very proud.
"I don't know how Mr. Edogawa knew this, but I've already found a job."
"The job you want to take is not suitable for you."
"I haven't been there yet."
How can you know if it is suitable if you haven’t been there?
Edogawa Ranpo hummed: "You will regret it."
Then he turned his back to Yun Ci childishly and ignored her.
Yun Ci pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly and met the gaze of the expressionless Fukuzawa Yukichi. The air in the room seemed to be filled with the word "awkward".
Yun Ci said goodbye and left after not staying for long, completely unaware that the two people in the room were having a brief conversation centered around her.
The tram was shaking.
After returning home, Yun Ci leisurely prepared dinner.
The portion for one person doesn't need to be too large.
But Yunci had a lot of free time, so she took out the cake-making tools and made herself an ice cream cake.
Magic quick freezing, the ice cream cake is formed earlier than the braised pork.
Yun Ci put the cake into the freezer, ate her meal, then sat on the sofa and watched TV for half an hour before taking out the cake to eat.
A 6-inch ice cream cake that can be eaten by one person.
Xiao Ai felt that Yun Ci did it on purpose.
Knowing she was still watching, I deliberately made some of her favorite food.
Xiao Ai wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of her mouth, but she was really afraid that Yun Ci, who had recovered her memory, would give Dazai Osamu an immortality buff or pull him away from the world.
There are two results of taking people away. One is that Yun Ci forcibly takes people to upgrade their dimensions and is eventually punished by the rules. The other is that Yun Ci gives up upgrading her own dimensions and achieves immortality with her lover in this latitude.
Although based on Xiao Ai's understanding of Yun Ci, it is impossible for her to give up on ascending to another dimension and giving up on looking for her Mother Goddess.
But Xiao Ai didn't dare to gamble.
The props for sealing the memory were provided by that adult, the host's mother goddess.
As long as Xiao Ai doesn't take the initiative to remove it, Yun Ci will not be able to break through it with her current ability.
It still needs to be lifted.
But now is not the time.
Xiao Ai thought that maybe she could go talk to Dazai Osamu.
This way, when the host loses her composure, there will be one more person to advise her.
But you can’t find it now.
At least... at least when the two of them are together again, and this Dazai Osamu becomes her 'brother-in-law' again, he will be qualified to listen to his sister's affairs.
Xiao Ai thought so and patted her belly soothingly.
Don't be in a hurry.
Just a second.
It will be ready to eat soon.
Maybe I can eat to my heart's content without any restrictions.
Xiao Ai thought about it and felt like drooling again.
But she is the system, no one can spit on her.
Alas, the host should just make more, so that she can sneak out to eat...
