Chapter 325 Merging the New World 11
Gojo Satoru carefully examined Amuro Tooru, who had changed back into his police uniform. Wasn't he in Italy with Gin? When did he come back?
He's back, but what about Gin and Vodka? Where are they?
"Wu, you're gone—"
Edogawa Ranpo pulled the thoughtful Gojo Satoru out of the police station. When Gojo Satoru came to his senses, he found that he had a matcha-flavored ice cream cone in his hand.
He took a bite without thinking, and wow, it was delicious!
Who cares about Gin or anything like that?
After the two had eaten, drunk, and played to their hearts' content, Gojo Satoru finally remembered why they had come out today.
He had promised President Fukuzawa that he would be Ranpo's partner for a day, so I should ask him anyway.
"Ranpo, what kind of request did you accept?"
"...Looking for someone." Edogawa Ranpo also remembered something he had forgotten, and answered somewhat guiltily.
"Looking for someone? Who does Amuro Tooru want to look for?"
Gojo Satoru became interested; the person that Amuro Tooru was searching for so diligently was clearly no nobody.
“A man named Morofushi Kagemitsu was an undercover agent sent by the police to infiltrate the Black Organization. After the Black Organization was destroyed, he disappeared.”
Edogawa Ranpo immediately took out his phone and called Nakajima Atsushi.
Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru suddenly realized that they were looking for Morofushi Kagemitsu. Uh… in his vague memory, this person… seemed to be a very good cook.
After hanging up the phone, Edogawa Ranpo knew where to find Morofushi Kagemitsu, but there was a problem.
"Wu, do you know how to get to Academy Island?"
"Academy Island? I know it. What are you going there for?"
Although Gojo Satoru didn't know why Ranpo suddenly wanted to go to Academy Island, it didn't stop him from taking a spontaneous trip.
"Hold on tight, the five express lines are about to launch!"
"I...wait...Wu...don't...no...huff...huff..."
Edogawa Ranpo was interrupted by the oncoming wind as he tried to refuse Gojo Satoru's words, and he decisively buried his face in Gojo Satoru's small embrace.
Two minutes later, outside the gates of Academy Island.
After landing, Gojo Satoru released his grip on Edogawa Ranpo's hand and said with a grin, "We're here. By the way, Ranpo, what were you trying to say just now?"
Edogawa Ranpo: "..."
"Huh? Why aren't you saying anything?" Gojo Satoru asked, puzzled.
"Hmph! Wu is a big idiot!"
Edogawa Ranpo said angrily, "Doesn't he know why I'm not speaking?"
"Huh? How could that be? I'm a genius, the smartest one." Gojo Satoru said confidently.
Edogawa Ranpo was even angrier. "Hmph! The great detective is the smartest. Satoru, you're lying."
"Nonsense, I'm the smartest one..."
"No, the famous detective is..."
The two of them started arguing for no apparent reason at the entrance of the academy island, completely forgetting why they had come there.
After a long while, the two, who were both hoarse from arguing, stopped on their own, their faces looking dejected.
"Satoru, I'm so thirsty and tired," Edogawa Ranpo said weakly.
"Me too."
Gojo Satoru was a little annoyed. He regretted arguing with Ranpo, as it had wasted a lot of time and caused him to miss out on a lot of delicious food.
He pulled out a terminal that hadn't been used for eight hundred years from the system space and made a call to Xiaobai.
------
In Shiro's dormitory, Gojo Satoru looked at the unconscious young man on the sofa and felt a sense of having obtained him effortlessly.
"Did you pick this person up?"
"It wasn't us, it was Neko and Tohru who picked it up a couple of days ago."
Xiao Bai shook his head. He'd been too busy with school lately to have time to go out and play.
"Do you know him? He has gunshot wounds, and it's not convenient to take him to the hospital, so we kept him here."
Yatogami Kuroh couldn't help but facepalm as he recalled the scene of Neko and the others bringing people back. They were really carefree, daring to pick up just anyone.
When he and Xiaobai opened the door that day, they thought they had entered the wrong house. There were mottled bloodstains that stretched from the doorway into the living room, and a man covered in blood was lying on the sofa, his life hanging in the balance.
Neko and Tohru were standing nearby, their clothes covered in blood, creating the scene resembling a murder crime scene.
If he hadn't trusted Neko and Tohru's character, he almost called the police. Shiro even acted like nothing happened and praised them for being helpful...
Yatogami Kuroh felt utterly exhausted; without him, this family would fall apart sooner or later.
In the end, he cleaned up the house and bandaged the man's wounds. Because the man's identity was unknown and he had also suffered a gunshot wound, they ultimately did not take him to the hospital.
"We've gotten to know each other, and Neko and the others have been a huge help this time."
Gojo Satoru took out his phone, snapped a picture of the man on the sofa, and then clicked send.
"His identity... won't cause any trouble, will it?"
Yatogami Kuroh asked with some concern, "Those who get shot are either public officials or criminals."
They found no identification on the man. Yesterday, they asked Chief Munakata to help investigate his household registration information, but the results are not yet available.
"Don't worry, he's not a criminal. You've rescued a policeman."
Edogawa Ranpo glanced at Yatogami Kuroh, who looked worried, and casually offered a word of comfort, saying that this new world that had unexpectedly merged into their lives was quite interesting.
The technology of this world far surpasses that of theirs, and there are also those vanished rulers... Wu has been to so many worlds.
"Oh, you're a police officer. I'm relieved."
Yatogami Kuroh, who had been holding his breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to his face.
"Little Black~ I'm so hungry, I want to eat your cooking."
After informing Amuro Tooru, Gojo Satoru put the matter aside; his immediate priority was to fill his stomach.
“I’m hungry too, I want to eat omelet rice,” Edogawa Ranpo said matter-of-factly.
Night Sword God Goulang: "..."
He looked at the little white dog, who was also waiting to be fed, and was a little speechless. In the end, he resigned himself to his fate and walked into the kitchen.
"Chew...chew...Little Black...chew...your cooking seems...chew...even tastier..."
While eating, Gojo Satoru commented, and couldn't help but think to himself, "Kuro is such a virtuous wife and loving mother."
"Mmm... I think so too."
Xiao Bai nodded hurriedly, suspecting that Xiao Hei had secretly gone to study cooking behind his back.
Ranpo, who was engrossed in his studies, had already provided his own answer.
"No, I don't think it's any different from before."
Yatogami Kuroh thought that the others were just too hungry and that was why they had this illusion; he had always cooked like this.
------
"Tsk, why do we need a permit to go to Academy Island?"
Rei Furuya's face showed a hint of annoyance. He had finally received news of Kagemitsu, but he couldn't get to his side immediately.
Buckle up!
"Come in."
"Sir, the approval document has been issued."
Kazami Yuya handed the document in his hand to his superior; it was the approval document for entering Academy Island.
