You and Ranpo are more than friends, but less than lovers. However, you definitely have warm feelings for each other. You can tell by his behavior: he shares his sweets with you, praises you after solving cases, and gently ruffles your hair, secretly enjoying how soft it is. He also lowers his beret a little, hoping that you won’t see his cheeks blush after your praise, while he mumbles a quiet “thank you”. Only you could make him blush.

The great detective loved to walk home after work with you, and on the way, the two of you would stop at some cafes, since he “suddenly” needed an eclair. Tonight was no exception. You and Ranpo were sitting on a bench by the sea in Yokohama, enjoying the sunset. He had a lollipop in his mouth, which made his speech sound like a mumble, but you didn’t mind. It’s cute. At one point, the detective took the lollipop out of his mouth and pointed it at you.

"You have chocolate on your lips. You look ridiculous."

Before you could even brush the chocolate away from the corner of your mouth with your finger, he grabbed your hand and pulled it away, leaning in and pressing his lips to yours. Most likely, when he pulls away, he'll say, "I just wanted to clean up the chocolate." Of course he doesn't. He's just shy.
