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

Edogawa Satoru has an older brother, Edogawa Ranpo, who is extremely intelligent, and a father and mother who are also extremely intelligent.

Since he was very young, Edogawa Satoru suspected that he was not his biological son.

One reason is his appearance. His white hair and blue eyes don't fit in with the Edogawa family. It is said that if Edogawa's mother cheated on him, it would take several generations for black hair to turn white.
The second reason is because of their IQ. The Edogawa family all have extremely high IQs and strong reasoning abilities. Only Satoru is an ordinary person. It takes him a long time to react or be prompted by Ranpo before he can understand what step the reasoning game he is playing has reached.

Later he no longer had any doubts. Edogawa Satoru was certain that he was the most mediocre person in the world.

Among the people who came to visit Edogawa were policemen, detectives, and unidentified persons, each of whom was smarter than Wu, at least in terms of IQ.

[Ah, is it true that my genetic mutation has affected my intelligence?]
He sometimes thought so.

But everyone in his family has the ability to read minds.

After wiping his hands clean after doing housework, his mother would tap his head, hold him in her arms, and gently say, "Satoru is also very smart, but his is different from Ranpo's. Everyone has his own unique talents. For example, Ranpo has a strong reasoning ability, which is better than Satoru. But Satoru is also better than Ranpo in some ways."

Wu asked, "What place is it?"

The mother stroked Edogawa Satoru's soft white hair and said, "Just like I won't tell Ranpo what his talent is, I won't tell you either. Talent is your innate friend. You have to discover, communicate, and get familiar with it by yourself. Even if you want to know the ending of a mystery game, you can't spoil it, and you can't tell Ranpo either."

[Ranpo-nii will figure it out once he sees me. Mom doesn’t try to hide it.]
Mom tapped Wu's head again: "There are some things that you can't understand about yourself. So Wu, promise me, explore it yourself."

The little boy nodded in confusion. It turned out that he did have other talents. He learned mathematics and physics very quickly. His tutor praised him as "Wu might become a great mathematician."

He curled his lips. What's the point of studying mathematics? It's not as fun as reasoning. If some of mathematics can also be considered reasoning, he won't study it seriously.

Moreover, his brother was also very good at math. He had secretly listened to his brother's class, and his brother always fell asleep because the math was so simple!
[I want to be smarter.]
Dad had another way of dealing with it. He took out a reasoning question of his own design and gave it to Wu to do, and after Wu finished, he began to analyze how to solve it more simply.

"Wu is also very smart. But some things require age to make up for. If I don't tell you the solution like this, you won't know it. If you know it, you will do better. Wu is also very powerful, but he will be even better in the future!"

Wuchao was moved before he saw a bunch of reasoning questions given by his father.

[Please, there is no way I can finish all these. I want to cheat!]
Edogawa Ranpo is only two years older than Wu. He likes to smile with his eyes squinting. He doesn't need eyes at such a young age.

He always patted Wu's shoulder and said something like: It's okay, even though you're a little stupid, I won't look down on you because you're my brother.

When Edogawa Satoru heard this as a child, tears would slowly flow out of his eyes, and then he would cry along with his brother as Ranpo said, “Ahhh, don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m going to cry too.”

Then the parents recorded the video.

After growing up, Ranpo's focus on cultivating Satoru shifted from "stupid" to "not disgusting".

[It’s great that you don’t look down on my intellectual disability. Is this what brotherhood is? I’m so touched.]
Wu is a brother-con.

Wu's eyes can see many things. These things seen by his eyes will turn into endless information and drill into Wu's brain, without stopping every minute and every moment.

He thought this was his difference, and after learning how to speak clearly, he told his brother Ranpo about it. Ranpo just sighed and said, "I am also troubled. I don't have the experience to help Wu."

Ranpo pointed at Satoru's eyes and said, "You can see the truth even with your eyes closed. This is Edogawa's ability. You are pure Edogawa."
"He is Edogawa Ranpo's younger brother."

Satoru was held in Ranpo's arms, and even though he closed his eyes unconsciously, he could still see everything. The world was viewed from 360 degrees in his mind, and every object became more and more distorted after accumulating knowledge and was filled with useless information.

"It's okay, we'll practice slowly." Ranpo said, "When collecting information, useless information is many times more than useful information. You have to learn how to block and extract it."

Satoru nodded, even though he didn't understand.

Ranpo, like his mom and dad, likes to play with Wu's hair. He pats Wu's head and encourages him: "Although you are not that smart, you can learn it as long as you swipe and then biubiu."

Wu was greatly shocked.

[Is this what a healthy brain can do?!]
In the end, the eye problem was not solved, and the two children decided to close their eyes and pretend not to see. A few years later, Wu learned to wear colored contact lenses, but Ranpo could not open his eyes.

Wu felt very guilty towards Ranpo because of this matter. If it weren't for him, Ranpo wouldn't have developed a squinty eye habit that caused him to be unable to open his eyes psychologically.

The more Ranpo didn't care, the more guilty Satoru felt, and slowly the guilt turned into care, respect, and admiration.

Edogawa Satoru idolizes his brother who knows everything. Edogawa Ranpo is also a brother-con.

No one can resist white hair, no one!
What’s more, it has sparkling blue eyes, is well-behaved and sweet-talking, is a little stupid but doesn’t hold back, and even offers snacks!

Both brothers of the Edogawa family are sweet tooths. Ranpo fills his stomach with snacks whenever he has one, while Satoru eats sweets as his staple food.

Mom and Dad took Wu to the hospital for a checkup and found that eating so many sweets did not affect his health, and he even ate more than he needed. After the examination, the hospital only concluded that "the body breaks down sugar at a high speed."

Various high-sugar foods became Wu's staple food.

Wu didn't like it at first, because he felt uncomfortable and weak if he didn't eat it. But Ranpo liked it. Later, under Ranpo's guidance, he fell into the sweet pit and never climbed out.

The Edogawa family is warm and happy.

Until that day, an accident happened. Mom and Dad died in a car accident.

He and Edogawa Ranpo parted ways for the first time. Ranpo was arranged by his father's acquaintance to study at the police academy, and because Satoru was not old enough and did not want to be too far away from Ranpo, he was temporarily placed in an orphanage near the police academy. The two brothers could see each other once a week.

That's how it was.

However, Wu was bullied by older children in the orphanage. After being scolded by the director indiscriminately, he ran away in anger and left Yokohama by bus.

He just wanted to calm down, get out of his brother's range, go to the big city to buy Ranpo's birthday present, and give his brother a surprise. Unexpectedly, there was no surprise, but there were more shocks.

The moment he left Yokohama, Edogawa Satoru suddenly felt something in the air, like a barrier from a movie special effect, more or less sticking to humans. There were also some ugly little things, but the common point was that the ugly things were all focused on humans.

Having never seen these things in thirteen years, Wu's three views were split for a while, and he immediately abandoned materialism. He now believes in idealism.

He judged that these ugly things were monsters similar to those in comics that absorbed human "characteristics". People who were stuck on them or who were stuck to them the most would be very weak. Correspondingly, there must be "monster killers" who could destroy these monsters.

A lot of information went through his mind, and Wu put on sunglasses. He estimated that ordinary people couldn't see these ugly things. Knowing that people who can't see can also be hurt, then people who can see are even more dangerous.

The sunglasses were a birthday gift from Ranpo, and Wu always carries them with him.

"As expected of my brother, you anticipated this situation." Wu put his hands together and prayed, "Please protect me so that I won't die."

After saying that, he looked at the monster through his sunglasses. The monster's eyes moved past him without any unusual movement.

[When my line of sight is blocked, small monsters will not harm me.]
He had no intention of exploring another world full of dangers, so he put on his glasses and walked towards his original destination.

After all, he is so weak.

Edogawa Ranpo's goal is to become a master of reasoning like his father and mother. He often says, "If it's my way, everything is fine."

Edogawa Satoru also wanted to learn from his brother and have his own motto.

A motto is a saying that people use to motivate, warn, remind themselves and serve as a guide to action.
In other words, a motto represents one's own beliefs and is a lifelong goal.

When people see someone who is a little better than themselves, they will be jealous. When they see someone who is much better than them, they will just look up to them. If the gap is too big, there is no point in even comparing them.

Ranpo was the starry sky he looked up to. Edogawa Satoru wanted to fly up to get closer.

But I am dumb and weak, I have no talent for both literature and martial arts, and it is very tiring to chase her. From childhood to adulthood, has the gap narrowed to the size of a little finger? Or is it getting bigger and bigger?

We are clearly seeing the same world...

At the age of twelve, Edogawa Ranpo made a name for himself as a young detective, and Edogawa Satoru learned to lie down.

Motto: [Sorry, I'm trash].

After telling his brother this motto, Edogawa Satoru was hit hard on the head and then held in his arms and rubbed.
