Here's a little bit of Ranpoe for any Ranpoe lovers~~~

I sighed, as I shook my head, making my way around the building.

"Ranpo Edogawa..." I mumbled, tapping my chin with a pen thoughtfully.

"Edgar Allan Poe." I said as well as I let out a tired breathe.

I was currently trying to find these two people.

All because I couldn't find Chuuya.

I had asked Kouyou about where the certain redhead had disappeared off to and apparently, it seems that he had just magically disappeared into a book.

After some digging, Ranpo from the Agency had tricked Chuuya using the Guild member, Poe's ability.

I had been told that Poe was going to be somewhere around here today, so I came in hopes to find him while he was solving some case or whatnot.

I sighed again as I made my way through the streets when suddenly a loud blood-curdling scream made me jump from my skin.

The crowd around me was panicking as I exhaled quickly before turning around to the direction where everyone was crowding.

Slightly pushing against the crowd with my ability to avoid physical contact, I let out a little hum as soon as I saw the dead body lying on the ground, blood splattered on the concrete.

"Well that's unfortunate." I said bluntly, starting to turn away but a voice made me pause.

"Ranpo-kun?!" A loud voice asked, making me perk up as I whirled around to see the familiar detective agency member and police officers as well as a man with dark violet hair that almost looked black, that covered his eyes and hung around his neck.

"You're the best! With this, it's my victory!" Ranpo exclaimed as he latched himself onto the policeman as I raised an eyebrow.

"Let go detective! Let go of me! Stop tickling me...!" The policeman started exclaiming as I walked up towards the group, standing right next to the dark violet haired man, Poe.

"Please help Minoura-san!" The policewoman pleaded to Poe as he grabbed his chin thoughtfully.

"The reason Ranpo-kun is understandably happy, I'll deduce it." Poe mumbled beside me as I raised an eyebrow when suddenly something brushed against my leg.

I leapt back in shock but blinked as soon as I saw a cute little raccoon staring up at me with cute eyes.

I couldn't resist as I reached down to pat it in between its ears as it climbed up my arm and nestled on my shoulder, making me giggle.

I completely forgot what I was doing there in the first place as I zoned back into the conversation.

"The face is a forgery... in other words." Poe said as I looked up at the group again.

"The cleaner killed him for camouflage. So, you just need to determine the criminal's location using your Ultra Deduction or whatever." I said as the four people blinked in shock at me.

"Karl!" Poe exclaimed as he reached for the raccoon on my shoulders, before pausing as if he was too scared to actually grab the raccoon from me.

"That's a cute name." I said as I rubbed Karl under the chin before grabbing the raccoon, Karl, and extended my arms to Poe, who fumbled a little to grab the raccoon.

"Who are you? What is your business?" The policeman, whom I was assuming was Minoura, asked me as I crossed my arms.

"Nothing really, I just wanted to find you two." I said, pointing to Poe and Ranpo.
