After that day, Yosano Akiko's mental state improved a lot.

The girl had more smiles on her face, no longer completely closed herself, and occasionally took the initiative to communicate with others. Although you can still see the traces of reluctance, it is undoubtedly much better than the autism at the beginning.

Edogawa Ranpo was so happy that he even ate several more bags of snacks.

Then he was banned from snacks by the responsible Butei President.

"So Ranbu just wanted to take the opportunity to eat snacks." Nakahara Naka, who patiently listened to Edogawa Ranpo's complaint, rolled his eyes, "Although Mr. is your current guardian in name, the president is also very Responsible, I won't let you mess around."

As early as a few years ago, when he formed a "detective team" with Edogawa Ranpo, Fukuzawa Yukichi had a solemn conversation with Zhongli about the future of the boy. After that, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who consciously assumed the responsibility of "half a parent", was extremely concerned about the safety and health of Edogawa Ranpo, even stricter than Zhongli, who always pursued guidance and education.

"I'm celebrating! Celebrating!" Edogawa Ranbu patted the table unhappily.

"Mmmm, celebrate." Zhongyuan Zhong, who had long been accustomed to the childishness of his friends, also casually said, standing up and patted the folds on his clothes.

"Today, I made an appointment with Oda to go to the orphanage to help out. By the way, I saved up club scores for extracurricular activities. I will go back later, so I don't have to wait for me if I mess around."

Edogawa hurriedly turned his head away, "Who will wait for you to play, Tachibana-kun... Be careful on the road."

The last word was so small it sounded like it was humming out of my nose.

Just knew it would be like this. Zhongyuan Zhong also sighed helplessly, and put the strawberry toffee left in his pocket on the small coffee table.

"Just this one, don't tell the president that I gave it to you."

Edogawa, who had long been waiting for the soft heart of the Central Plains, gave a cheer, and fluently opened the package and threw the toffee into his mouth.

Zhongyuan Zhong also shook his head, and said hello to Akiko Yosano who was reading quietly by the side: "Then I'm leaving, Akiko."

"Yeah." Yosano Akiko raised her head from the book, with a light smile on her face, "It's a smooth journey...Nakaya."

The children adopted in the orphanage are sensible and obedient, so there are not many things to be busy actually. After helping Oda Sakunosuke with the necessary cleaning, the young Nakahara was sent to the yard to accompany the children to play games that children like to do.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was holding a cute little red-eyed doll, looked around, lowered his head and whispered in disappointment, "Mr. Zhongli is not here."

"...Longzhisuke, I never asked before, why do you admire Mr. Zhongli so much?"

Because of his own schooling, Zhongyuan Zhongye is not as clear as he was when he was a child about what Zhongli will do every day. When he met the new Akutagawa Ryunosuke at the orphanage one day, the latter was already respecting and even admiring Zhongli.

In a way, even more radical than him.

Xiao Ryunosuke was obviously very happy to talk about Zhongli-related topics, he subconsciously stood up straight, hugged the doll in his arms and said solemnly: "Because that day, Mr. Zhongli saved Zaixa and Yin, and also pointed out the way forward for the confused Zaixa. Therefore, even if I am in this orphanage, I will try my best to be an excellent person who can impress Mr. Zhongli!"

Under the description of the child's 800-meter-thick filter, what he saw that day when he woke up from a serious injury, Mr. Zhong Li was glowing all over his body, and he would also become a shining person like Mr. Zhong Li!

I didn't expect that when I asked the other party casually, I would release all my cooking power to Zhongyuan Zhongyao, who had all explained: "Ah, oh, then... You come on?"

"Yes! I will work hard next time!" Even more solemnly.

The little episode can't make any waves, and when the sky gets a little darker, it's time to go back to the Central Plains.

Perhaps it was the act of blowing Mr. Zhongli together to gain enough favor. Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who had never paid much attention to people other than Zhongli and Oda Sakanosuke, held his little doll and sent it to Zhongyuan Zhongya all the way until he left the orphanage.

Along with him is Gin Akutagawa, who is inseparable from his brother.

"It's all right here." Zhongyuan Zhong also waved his hand, "Although it is in the suburbs, it does not rule out the possibility that the mafia who are dazed will touch this side. Ryunosuke should take Yin and go back first."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke said solemnly: "If you talk about self-protection ability, you also have supernatural powers. It's not safe for Nakaya brother to go back alone at such a late hour. If you have two superpowers together, you don't have to worry... "

"...Then you can stay at my house on the grounds that it's getting late, right?" Zhongyuan Zhong also glared at the child helplessly, "Mr. Zhongli will come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, don't use your cleverness in this kind of place. !"

Xiao Longnosuke, whose attention was all on Zhongli's meeting, said, "Sorry, I'll pay attention next time."

"Just say 'no next time' to me at this time!"

Just as the boy and the boy were pulling to the limit, the sound of rustling footsteps suddenly came from the woods not far away.

The footsteps were loud and clear, and it was obvious that the visitor had no intention of covering up. Zhongyuan Zhong also looked up vigilantly, and saw two strange men who had never seen before walking out of the woods.

Both of them wore a retro look that was out of touch with the times, with a vaguely similar arrogance on their faces. One of them took a step forward, raised his chin slightly and said, "You are Zhongyuan Zhongya?"

The accent is a Kyoto dialect with elegant transliteration.

"Yes, I am Zhongyuan Zhongye."

Nakahara Nakaya replied in his mouth, seemingly making a random mistake at his feet, vaguely protecting the Akutagawa brothers and sisters behind him.

The person on the other side didn't care about Zhongyuan Zhongya's small actions, it would be better to say that in his opinion, these mediocre ordinary people don't need to care about what they do, so he continued to say arrogantly: "Then, Zhongyuan Zhongya, you are Zhongli. The adopted child must be very clear about what he has done, right?"

"The magic circle suspects the source of that man's powerful strength, please cooperate with our investigation."

"Anyone from the magic world?"

In the small clinic with only an incandescent lamp, Mori Ogai put the sterilized murder scalpel in a carrying bag and repeated in surprise.

The red-haired **** the opposite side clenched the hand of her lost lover, raised her eyes and said, "That's right, that man has been receiving people from the magic world for the past two days, and I heard that it was because of the special situation in Yokohama that he became involved with the port mafia. Cooperation. The purpose of this visit is to investigate that Mr. Zhongli."

The name "Zhongli" had naturally been heard by the red-haired girl in charge of intelligence. She even knew which row, which column, and which drawer in the archives the red-marked file that recorded all the relevant information, but she never thought about it. The one who saved his lover would be this powerful superhuman who made the whole world in Yokohama fear.

She was still under the control of the port mafia, and she didn't even return the other party's capital. The only thing she could do was to inform Mori Owai, who was in contact with Zhongli, as soon as she learned of the bad intentions in the magic world.

"Oh... this is really big news, Hongye-kun." Mori Owai held his chin in one hand in thought, "I didn't expect that the arrogant magic world would also pay attention to our ability users."

The official Mori Owai has been disliked by the small society that is divorced from the rule of law for a long time, and he did not give them any face in his words.

Ozaki Momiji has no idea about the magic world, she only worries about her lover's savior, "I heard that they noticed it because of some powerful magic spirit, and it is unreasonable to say that the source of this power is unreasonable... Heh, From the concubine's point of view, it is nothing but the power of coveting the transcender."

Mori Owai asked unintentionally: "So, they want to go directly to Mr. Zhongli?"

"It was indeed like this at the beginning." Ozaki Hongye said, "But they were dissuaded by the man, and the concubine heard that they were going to find the child named 'Central Plains Chuya' first."

"…Hey."

A meaningless syllable came out of his mouth, and it took Mori Ogai a little effort to resist his subconscious tactical urge to lean back.

Why did he fall into the predicament of no one available before, and didn't act immediately to pick up the watery cabbage in Zhongli's ground?

It wasn't because of so many years of contact that he had already figured out the nature of Zhongli's short-term protection under the indifferent appearance!

Mori Ogai just wanted to applaud their murderous behavior.

"Well...I think, Hongye-kun doesn't have to worry about Mr. Zhongli's safety." Sen Owai said slowly, "Don't worry, based on my understanding, both Mr. Zhongli and the people around him have enough power to protect themselves. There is no other possibility for the actions of the art world except to return home."

"It's enough that we do our own thing."

By the way, we can also take advantage of this incident to weaken the personal connections of some leaders.

Mori Ouwai looked down and thought.

However, there is no need to tell Ozaki Momiji about such a small idea.

The Central Plains will naturally not compromise with these two people easily.

Not to mention that the only person in the magic world that he has had in-depth contact with is the one from the Chanyuan, and the detective agency's information about the magic world is only a few words, and it is not clear what the specific process is. Just looking at the arrogant and unaware attitudes of the two in front of him, he wouldn't just cooperate if he just said he would cooperate.

"If the two of you really want to investigate clearly, you should officially come to visit me instead of looking for me behind my back." Zhongyuan Zhong also said cautiously.

Listen to what these two said, "doubt the source of power"?

When did their own power wheel get doubted by an unknown person?

"A power user shouldn't have such a huge amount of energy to kill curse spirits, or he is not a simple power user at all." The arrogant uninvited guest said, "We just want to investigate the suspicious man..."

"Retract me from your disrespectful words!"

The crisp voice that had not yet experienced the change of voice sounded with anger, and a long white shadow pierced out of the air. The man who had not finished speaking changed his face, and hurriedly took a step back, causing the white foreign object to wipe the toe of his shoe. nailed deep into the ground.

The other person behind him who had been silent for a while, rushed out, stretched his right hand forward, and grabbed straight at Akutagawa Ryunosuke who suddenly attacked.

His attack was also stopped by the Central Plains midway.

The expression on the ochre-haired boy's face was tense, and he was obviously also angry at his previous words, and compared with the impulsive little Ryunosuke, he was able to suppress his anger and said: "Please apologize for the previous rudeness, gentlemen."

"Make it clear, it was that kid who attacked me first!" The man looked at the toe of the shoe with a lingering fear, and then said with shame and anger: "So I said earlier that I don't have to deal with these. Suspicious people are reasonable, and they belong to the Chanyuan family. These superpowers don't know what rules are!"

"Don't blame me, don't you also fear the strength of that Zhongli?" The man with the surname of the Chanyuan said indifferently, "Instead of worrying about this, it's better to arrest this kid first, from the Kamo family."

It was originally aimed at containing the power of Wutiao, who can step on who?

Seeing that these people were ready to tear their faces, Zhongyuan Zhong also became serious, and his body faintly lit up with red light.

The hem of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's jacket behind him also moved like a living thing.

at this time.

"boom!"

A huge gunshot resounded in the forest. Sakanosuke Oda, who was wearing an orphanage-style apron, walked over with a pistol that was smoking steadily in his right hand, followed by Gin Akutagawa, who was poking his head.

The bullet that was fired flew past Zenyuan's face, and finally penetrated the ground in front of Kamo's toe with precision. The temple complex changed, and immediately forced back Zhongyuan Zhongya who was facing him, and retreated back to Kamo.

"Please calm down, don't do anything to the child." Oda Sakunosuke's calm voice sounded in the arena, "Is there anything you can't say?"
