It's raining.
The raindrops fell densely, forming countless curtains.
From point to line, from line to surface, from surface to body.
I have no doubt that if you throw a goldfish in such weather, it can swim freely.
Fortunately, I brought an umbrella.
I was very happy to see those people who did not bring umbrellas being soaked in the rain, and finally had to use their briefcases to protect themselves from the rain.
"Hello."
"Ah ah! Ah, oh oh oh, I'm sorry..."
A sweet sound like silver bells suddenly rang in my ears, startling me.
When I turned around, I almost thought it was a huge jellyfish standing in front of me.
This "jellyfish" has light blue shoulder-length hair, and she is very cute wearing overalls of the same color.
"I'm John Gribbin, sir!" she greeted cheerfully.
(John Gribbin is a famous British professional writer of science books and a visiting scholar in astronomy at the University of Sussex. He graduated from the University of Cambridge with a PhD in astrophysics and is currently a visiting astronomy professor at the University of Sussex Researcher and author of "Searching for Schrödinger's Cat".)
"Ah, hello, hello," I nodded vigorously, like pecking rice, "little sister, what do you want from me?"
"Sir, are you kidding?" John still had a puppet-like smile on his face, "I am a boy."
"Oh, oh, sorry!" I smiled shyly.
"By the way, sir..." He put his hands behind his back and looked directly into my eyes earnestly.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you trust your friends?"
"ah?……"
After hearing this, I raised my arms warily and looked at this strange boy at a loss.
"Do you believe it? Do you believe it?" he asked playfully.
"Xiang, I believe it." I responded stutteringly.
"Okay~" John bowed, acted like a standard gentleman, turned around and left.
I wanted to call him, but found that his figure gradually faded into the rain curtain, and finally turned into a wisp of white smoke.
Strangely enough, the heavy rain stopped shortly after he left. The light blue sky was filled with white clouds again, and a rainbow crossed the sky.
"Phew, it's time to go back." I closed the umbrella and looked into the distance.
Discover the rainbow, eat the rainbow, and go back and give Kunikida some more rainbow farts to explain why I'm late.
…
"It's not good, Mr. Si Ye."
Inside the house, Dazai faced the sunlight, leaving only a dazzling silhouette.
"What's wrong?" I asked with concern.
“Kunikida is gone, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I have no interest in fishing even if he’s not here!..."
He rushed towards me with tears in his eyes, but luckily I reacted quickly and dodged sideways. Unfortunately, my feet didn't react as quickly as my body, so Dazai tripped over my feet.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Si Yejun..."
"Stop!" I raised a hand to block the paramecium Dazai who was crawling towards me.
After such a long period of torture, my admiration for Dazai has transformed into another feeling.
"By the way, Mr. Kunikida didn't go to work today?" I helped Dazai who was lying on the ground.
"It's not that you didn't come to work, Si Ye-kun," Dazai adjusted his wrinkled sleeves, "it just disappeared out of thin air!"
"Disappear into thin air?!"
"Yes, just now. Kunikida's notebook told him that it was time for a nap, and then he lay down and fell asleep. Not long after, he jumped up... At that time, I almost thought I was going to succeed in the prank. Well, you know Si Yejun... Then he shouted, 'I don't believe it!' and his whole person turned into a ball of mist and disappeared!"
Dazai's whole body turned into a noodle shape, twisting and turning.
"Mr. Dazai, don't you have a clue?" I was also a little panicked.
"Ah, no..." Dazai pressed his face with his fingertips, his pink eyelids exposed and his lips slightly raised.
Damn it, why is this man so handsome even when he makes faces?
"Ha... you are still talking about this. I thought everyone knew about it." Edogawa stretched his waist aside and scattered snacks on the floor.
"Mr. Ranbu, do you know anything?" I asked.
After hearing what I said, Edogawa looked at me deeply with a strange look and said, "Kunikida is not in this world at all now."
"You mean, Mr. Kunikida..."
"Huh? What are you thinking? It's just superficial!" Edogawa impatiently hit my head with a lollipop.
"so what should I do now?"
"Wait, there is no other way," Edogawa said leisurely and contentedly, "By the way, Si Ye, you just met that person too, right?"
"John Gribbin?"
"I'm not sure about that, but he must be an Englishman."
"so?"
"Don't worry. Kunikida's disappearance should be due to his special powers. He will be back in a while."
As soon as Edogawa closed his eyes, he fell asleep again.
Dong dong dong——
"Someone is here, Si Yejun~"
"oh."
I walked to the door, and just as I opened it, a familiar figure fell over to me, pressing me so hard that I almost fell to the ground.
"Mr. Kunikida!"
"Si Ye, is it you, Si Ye..." Kunikida sniffed.
"Yes, it's me."
"It's great, it's great, it's great to have friends..." Kunikida's arms hugged me tighter and tighter, and I was almost suffocating.
"Hey, Kunikida-kun, what about me?" Dazai noticed that something was wrong, and immediately approached us with a weird evil smile on his face, hands behind his back, and said.
"Dazai, I'm sorry..."
"Hmm~"
"I will never talk about you again. Friends are the most important thing. I will take over all your work from now on!"
"Hey~ This is what a vice president should look like~" Dazai nodded with satisfaction.
I stared, tugging at my sleeves at a loss.
The sound of high heels came from behind, and I knew it was Yosano without turning around.
"What's going on?" she asked doubtfully, sounding a little angry.
"Hey, forget it," she sighed, "Si Ye, are you coming or should I come?"
"Ah? Come on, what are you coming for?"
"Then let me do it."
With that said, she dragged Kunikida away who was crying because she was so moved.
"Yoshino, it's good to have friends... you can chop me with a machete every day from now on..."
"Okay, shut up!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
A scream echoed through the entire office, and I saw Dazai narrowing his eyes in satisfaction.
…
Half an hour later, the shiny Kunikida returned to work, but his overall pressure was a little low.
"Dazai, Si Ye..."
"I am here."
"What's wrong, Kunikida-san~"
"Don't let either of you tell anyone about what happened just now." Kunikida raised his head and looked straight into the void with his vicissitudes of eyes.
"Pfft..." Dazai couldn't hold it back and covered his mouth and laughed.
However, this move made Kunikida's already bad complexion even worse.
"Don't tell anyone if I tell you not to, you bastard!" Kunikida flew forward, grabbed Dazai's neck, and banged him against the wall.
"Ah la la la la~"
It's just that the latter doesn't seem to care very much.
