Edogawa Satoru who wanted to be a detective is not a good sorcerer

Yuji looks very energetic. The only thing that worries him is the escaped special-grade cursed spirit.

A high-level sorcerer has already taken over this task, and maybe the real one will be destroyed soon. Edogawa Satoru comforted Yuji.

"I heard from the supervisor that you fainted on the side of the road when I came to pick you up?" Yuji pulled Wu's sleeve and asked with concern, "What happened? Are you injured?"

Satoru thought of the Sukuna finger he had hidden, and gathered his sleeves guiltily: "At that time, I suddenly remembered that I saw the boy coming out of the sewer, and wondered if he knew the real person - if the real person ran away, would he go to find the boy. Through chatting, I am sure that Yoshino Junpei was deceived by the real person. I'm sorry to make you worry, I fainted because of low blood sugar."

Xiao Wu TAT.

Yuji held Wu's hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Thank you for coming out with us. You didn't bring any candy or food, and you've become skinny because of hunger."

Wu wanted to pull his hand away but couldn't, so he could only pat Yujin's pink head and said, "I'm really fine. It's better to send someone to contact Yoshino, he is a talented sorcerer."

"Wow, Wuwu, you're so nice~" Yuji continued to whimper and hugged Wu's waist and acted coquettishly.

Edogawa Satoru got goosebumps. His earlobes were red, and he pushed Yuji's head, stuttering: "I'm not, well--"

"No, hello." Yuji Itadori listed Satoru's advantages one by one.

First, Wu cares about his classmates and can tell when they are not in good shape and comfort them.
Second, Satoru still cares about his senior, and when Nanami couldn’t get in touch, he immediately contacted him and the supervisor. Without Satoru’s reminder, Nanami-senpai would probably be defeated by the real one.
Third, Wu also took the overall situation into consideration. Knowing that everyone was busy, he went to find Yoshino Junpei himself and also reserved a new student for the technical high school.
Fourth, Wu was still working diligently and neglecting his health even when he had low blood sugar.

Edogawa Satoru felt both ashamed and light-hearted after being flattered by Yuji Itadori, and his face was so red that it could boil water.

He couldn't cover Yuji's mouth, so he had to cover his own ears, "I'm leaving first!" Edogawa Satoru fled in panic.

Yuji watched the blushing Wu leave with a relieved and kind smile on his face.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that Edogawa Satoru was a very good person.

Even though Edogawa Satoru and Gojo Sensei look exactly alike, even though Edogawa Satoru always has a flash of murderous intent when he sees his teacher, even though Edogawa Satoru's acting skills aren't very good, even though...

During their daily interactions, Yuji Itadori can feel Satoru's growth and changes.

Besides, if Gojo-sensei says it’s okay, then it must be okay!

Gojo Sensei asked him to look after Edogawa Satoru while he and he were training alone.

Don't worry too much, just don't let him die. Gojo Satoru put his index finger against Yuji's lips to suppress his surprise.

"I'm investigating something, maybe he can give me some new ideas. Don't worry, just get along normally." The sunglasses slid down the bridge of his nose, revealing sharp eyes.

Like blue ice.

Don't let Wu die? Isn't this already scary?! Yuji stared at his teacher, not daring to move.

"Don't let him hurt you." Gojo Satoru laughed again and put his arm around Yuji's shoulders. "Just keep an eye on him and don't let him run away."

Could it be that Wu is an undercover agent sent into the technical high school by the group of people that the teacher particularly hates!
Yuji nodded seriously: "I promise to complete the task!"

The teacher flicked his forehead jokingly: "This is not a task. It's okay to be friends with him."

Yuji was completely confused.

He scratched his head, ruffling his pink hair into a mess, and sighed.

He thought at the time, let it be.

Later, it turned out that the two of them got along very well.

Yuji looked at the hand that had just grabbed Wu's hand and squeezed it hard.

Isn’t Xiao Wu a little too thin?
Always feel like you don’t have a grasp on it?
Yuji was puzzled.

……

Huihara stood at the door of the hotel room. She slowly pressed the handle and the door opened.

She locked the door when she went out.

who is it?

She put her hands on her waist, lowered her body, pushed open the door and walked into the room along the wall.

"I heard you were looking for me?" It was not an adult's voice. Huihara did not let down his guard and pulled out the stun baton.

After walking a few steps inside, I saw a young man with a strange sense of clothing. He wore a sweatshirt under his windbreaker, but his face was very cute.

The young man spoke frankly: "I've wanted to come see you before, but never had the chance. I'm in a hurry, so I'll just make it short." He had just graduated from technical college, and it was rare that no one was following him, and he had to meet someone else next.

"You're looking for my information everywhere. I'm here. Ask me anything you want."

Huiyuan's pupils shrank: "You are Edogawa Satoru!"

Wu nodded.

"I...I want to arrest you!" Huibara opened his coat and took out handcuffs.

The young man said distressedly, Okay, what is your crime?
"You killed someone."

"Kill who?"

The young man smiled, looking frivolous.

Huiyuan gritted her teeth and said, "The crime scene has been destroyed. There is indeed no way to prove that you killed the person, but we can verify your handwriting and the handwriting on the note. That psychic does not exist. The electric shock wounds on his body are obviously traces of frequent use of electric batons. You stunned him and locked the door and let him starve to death."

It's not enough to just guess.

Edogawa Satoru shook his head: "Someone did save me."

"His name is Fukuzawa Yukichi." Edogawa Satoru raised his eyebrows and looked at the stunned Huihara Qi, "Oh, you know him? That's great, you can just ask him directly, is it him who saved me?"

"Why would Mr. Silver Wolf save you?"

"Because I'm Edogawa Ranpo's younger brother." [Ha, younger brother, a younger brother who doesn't even know where his older brother is.]
Edogawa Satoru raised his hand, indicating that he had no weapons at all: "Don't be nervous, you made too much noise looking for me, so I just spent some money to find you. When I saw you were wearing a wooden cannon, I knew you were a policeman."

"To show my sincerity, I'll speak first."

Edogawa's parents had long been worried about whether the two brothers would be able to take care of themselves in the future. The more they watched them, the more they felt that the two children were unlikely to grow up, so they decided to find a reliable friend to take care of them.

When Edogawa Ranpo was fourteen years old, his parents asked Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had recently left the government, to become Ranpo's assistant. At that time, Ranpo was already very famous, and the two of them worked together for a long time.

Wu is not clear about the relationship between his brother and Fukuzawa Yukichi, but there is no need to tell Haibara about this.

As far as he knew, Mr. Fukuzawa Yukichi did not show it on his face, but he actually liked his brother very much. Although his brother was harsh in words, every time he went out to handle a case, he would ask Fukuzawa if he wanted to join them, and he would get angry if Mr. Fukuzawa refused.

Fukuzawa Yukichi should also be very worried about his missing brother. Considering that he is investigating his brother's disappearance, Fukuzawa Yukichi should give false testimony for Satoru.

"That's all." Edogawa Satoru asked, "Any other questions? If you want to blame me and Mr. Fukuzawa, I can only say that I'm sorry. I didn't expect that scumbag to die."

"...No. What I want to say is." Huiyuan waved his hand, "Mr. Silver Wolf...is also missing."

Edogawa Satoru's pupils shrank.

"Although I don't know the exact time, it was already May when his neighbor reported the case. If what you said is true, then he disappeared after May 5th." Huihara did not stop being alert, but she was willing to exchange information. "I can provide the information I found, and I hope you will cooperate with me. My goal is the same as yours, to find the missing Edogawa Ranpo."

"Hey?"

"Edogawa? Edogawa Satoru? Are you listening?"

Edogawa Satoru had only one thought in his mind:
[Why did you choose to take Fukuzawa Yukichi with you when your brother disappeared, instead of taking him with you?]
The fist gradually clenched.

The boy lowered his head, then raised his face again, with a bright smile: "Let's add each other's contact information."

He was in a hurry to meet the man named "Shunping".

My brain was racing and it was throbbing with pain.

[elder brother.]
[Why.]
[Why!]
……

"You're just going to give your finger to Edogawa Satoru like that?" The real person was rummaging through the books on the bookshelf. The curse master piled all the "gifts" that Edogawa Satoru threw to him in front of him and poured fuel on them.

"It's ok."

The fire glowed strangely and emitted black smoke.

Whether it's Junpei or Edogawa Satoru, as long as the news of the appearance of a finger is known to Window, it will be fine.

The curser said leisurely, he gathered his black clothes and asked the real person to leave.

"Ah? Did you predict Edogawa Satoru's actions?" Masato finally found the book he was interested in, and he stuffed it into his backpack along with the cursed items.

The sudden thick smoke quickly attracted the librarian: "Are you setting a fire?!"

He shouted in panic and looked around for a fire extinguisher.

The real person easily turned the man into a cursed spirit: "Since we have the cursed item, let's go. But it's rare to have a cursed item in a library."

Places like schools, prisons, and hospitals, which are prone to breeding hatred, often have powerful cursed objects to suppress them. The terrifying pressure from special-grade cursed objects will scare ordinary cursed spirits and make weak cursed spirits stay away from the location of the cursed objects.

They were leisurely and contented among the fleeing crowd.

"Consider this my small gift to Edogawa Satoru. He won't believe what I say without verification." When the curse master turned around, thick smoke had already stained the sky. "Burn, burn."

"This library is newly built. The previous mansion was a famous haunted house. This special-grade cursed item is not used to scare away cursed spirits, but to suppress the haunted house that is not dead."

"Once he's gone through this, he'll be our complete companion."

Really? I'm really looking forward to it. The real person spoke softly.

But what can he do for our plan? it asked again.

"He will be the second most important part in sealing Gojo Satoru." The curse master smoothed his hair, "even though he is just a puppet."

The cursed spirit practiced changing its shape, shaping itself into various forms: "You humans are so complicated."

Marionette.

What an apt description.

It turned out to be the case.

The young man was sometimes impulsive and sometimes meticulous. He was obviously ignorant of the ways of the world but pretended to be mature. He handled some things properly but hurriedly made up for some mistakes afterwards. He was smart but not completely smart, and had a weak constitution. It was easy to kill him.

If the curse master hadn't stopped them, this ignorant young man would have died countless times.

The real person asked, “Marionette”, then who is the person behind him?
"Edogawa Ranpo." The curse master gave a name.

Real person: "Only one name?"

The curse master frowned and did not answer immediately. He said with a headache: "This is a powerless but terrifying human being."

The real person's eyes widened. This is a high evaluation.

"Before I met Edogawa Satoru, I first met Edogawa Ranpo." The curse master added, "But he should be dead."

"What's there to be afraid of a dead person?" The real person glanced at the curser.

The curser smiled and said nothing.

He was thinking about the stitches in his head.

He thought to himself, what he was afraid of was, is Edogawa Ranpo really dead?
