Ranpo was on the brink of solving one of his most difficult cases yet, the pieces finally falling into place in his mind. Every deduction, every subtle clue, had led him to this moment but it was dangerous. He knew the criminal was cunning, desperate, and armed. And yet, he moved forward, fully aware that catching the culprit might cost him his life.

In an instant, the criminal appeared, gun in hand, aiming directly at Ranpo. Most people would have frozen, panic setting in but not him. He didn’t flinch, didn’t sweat. Why? Because he already knew. He had deduced that you would come. Every detail of the situation, every tiny clue, had led him to the conclusion that you wouldn’t let him face this alone.

Then, just as the tension reached its peak, a crash windows shattering and there you were, leaping in to save him. The criminal faltered, distracted, and Ranpo didn’t waste a second. You had arrived, just as he had predicted.

And true to his personality, even in the aftermath of such a life-or-death moment, he didn’t pause to catch his breath or even process the danger. He turned to you, almost casually, as if nothing had happened at all, a small, triumphant smile on his face.

“Haha, I knew you’d come to save me! Only because of my brilliant conclusion, of course!”
