For the Slaughter To Eliminate the Haggard

"what?!"

I pointed at Dazai, my face full of disbelief, "Want to take him with me?!"

"He is a newcomer, you are a senior, it is the rule for seniors to bring newcomers to tasks," President Fukuzawa said, rolling up the sleeves of his yukata, "You were also brought here by Yosano at the time."

I disagreed: "But Kunikida-sensei has always brought him!"

Think of Kunikida's haggard and old age every time he and Dazai come back from a mission - that's a lesson from the past!

But it's okay not to say this, but it reminded Fuze: "By the way, Kunikida is responsible for leading the team."

I:"…"

Dazai: "Pfft."

The Armed Detective Agency is usually carried out by a team of two. There is a reason for this temporary three-person team. One is that Dazai is unreliable, and the other is that I am unreliable, and Kunikida, who has always been calm and reliable, has become the most suitable. The leader of the team, referred to as the babysitter.

When Kunikida first heard the news, there was a moment of stunned expression on his face, and I was also miserable and miserable. Even the music I played was replaced by the North Wind Blowing, but Dazai was beaming as if it was a New Year's Day today.

Happiness is his, we have nothing.

Although there was 10,000 resistance in our hearts, we must focus on the task no matter what, so under the leadership of Kunikida, we finally embarked on a cat-hunting journey.

"Mimi~" Dazai lifted the lid of the trash can and called out affectionately, "Little cat, are you there?~~~~~~"

Behind him, Kunikida's forehead throbbed violently.

"Don't make a fool of yourself at this time," the former hated iron, "be more serious with me, the deadline for entrustment is only two days!"

"That's right," I said, "Look at me, how serious I am."

After that, I turned my head to look at the wild cat squatting on the other side of the trash can cover, and asked it with a serious face: "Have you ever seen a long-haired cat with a little orange—probably so long, so fat... ahh , no, that's really a pity, I wish you a happy life, goodbye."

"...How can you be more reliable than this guy?!"

After leaving the narrow alley, we came to the front of a pet store.

"It is said that the client brought Mimi here to buy a handmade cat stick." I read the message on my mobile phone.

"Then ask," Dazai walked briskly into the pet store, "who should have seen that long-haired cat."

Kunikida pinched his brows and finally heaved a sigh of relief: "You have finally made progress."

"Hello Mr. Parrot, have you seen Miss Mimi in this photo?"

"…"

Parrot: "Fool, fool!"

Dazai showed an unusually terrified expression: "You actually, you actually - actually saw through Kunikida-kun's skin through his essence!"

Kunikida, who had seen through his essence, grabbed his back collar and threw him out of the pet shop, roaring, "—How far are you idiots trying to disrupt my plan before you give up!!"

After KO Dazai, Kunikida suddenly turned his head to look at me and gave me a sharp look. I shuddered and rushed to the owner's arms. The owner said that he still remembered the cat, and the client took it to the mall after buying cat-friendly sticks.

I pulled up Dazai, who was lying on the ground with his **** on his back, and said to him, "They've been to the mall."

"A shopping mall?" Dazai, who was tenacious and tenacious, stood up suddenly, and showed with practical actions that Kunikida's shoulder fall was not painful to him, "But pets are not allowed in that place."

Kunikida came out later, and the exhaustion in his voice should not be too obvious: "I have to ask the staff there."

There were many people in the mall, and at a glance, it was full of heads (and bodies), and the three of us were swept away not long after we squeezed in.

"Master Kunikida!"

I raised my voice and shouted, but there was no response.

I was afraid that Dazai would also get separated, so I reached out and grabbed the sand-colored coat on the right: "Don't move around, Dazai, lest I have to find you when I can't find Mimi."

After I finished speaking, I glanced to the side, and saw that the one I was holding was not Dazai at all, but a big unfamiliar brother. He looked down at the jacket he was holding and then looked up at me, with a very expressive expression. innocent.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

My face suddenly flushed, and I quickly let go: "I'm sorry, I'm holding the wrong person!"

"Ichito, I'm here." Dazai behind him made a voice to show his presence.

After about two minutes, we were in a place where the crowd was a little looser.

"Don't worry about Ichito," Dazai said lightly, "It's just the wrong person."

"People have to look forward. It's very dangerous if they fall down because of a mistake."

"But this is all theoretical, and it seems embarrassing to talk about the wrong person..."

"Shut up man!" I buried my head and followed behind him, pushing him forward all the way, the shame level had broken through the red light, "I can't hear, can't hear, can't hear, can't hear, can't hear!"

Dazai stopped suddenly and couldn't push it, then he turned around, stretched out his index finger and said with a smile, "Otherwise, Ichito will take my hand and walk away, so that I won't get scattered, I can eat a little bit. It's okay to lose."

...Listen, are these human words!

"I don't care," I stretched out my palm to wrap my blushing face, lowered my head and rushed forward, "I'll ask the person in charge of the pet storage area myself!"

Having said that, we still arrived at the destination together. The person in charge said that Mimi is too cute, so I still have a little impression of it, but this impression is only limited to the process of the client sending the cat over and picking up the cat.

"Has no one asked you about the cat since then?" I asked in detail.

The person in charge thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes."

I came to the spirit: "Who?!"

"You."

"…"

The main purpose of investigating these is to rule out the possibility that the cat was deliberately stolen, and now it seems that this option should be ruled out.

"It's a bit of a hassle, let's not say whether it was stolen or not, it's hard to do it just by 'losing it'," I had a headache and reached out to grab my hair, "It's impossible for a city as big as Yokohama. I searched for it bit by bit, and what if it had an idea and wanted to go out for sightseeing and hitch a ride, maybe it has already gone to Tokyo or even smuggled to Europe to travel around the world - ah ah ah ah, it feels more like this. Too bad!!"

Dazai: "...I think Ichito should calm down before looking for a cat."

Looking at me, who was on the verge of collapse, he sighed silently, and directly stretched out the claws of my abusive hair: "How about we come to Kunikida-kun first?"

Hearing Kunikida's name, I subconsciously woke up a lot: "Ah, yes, I will send him the news of the gathering at the door first."

"Don't be so troublesome," Dazai laughed, "there is a better way~"

After saying this, he took me to the broadcast room of the shopping mall, and told the staff about the situation. It didn't take long for a loud and clear broadcast sound to echo in every corner of the shopping mall—

[The radio is looking for someone, and now there is a notice of missing people. Please go to the broadcasting room on the third floor after the children of Kunikida hear the broadcast. Your father Dazai Osamu is waiting for you. Repeat, your father Dazai Osamu is waiting for you. Kida's height is 1.8/9. He looks mature, impatient and irritable. If you notice, please contact the broadcasting room. All the staff of Qianhe Shopping Mall wish you a happy shopping, thank you]

I looked at Dazai, who almost laughed to the point of rolling on the ground, and couldn't help covering my face: "I'm afraid you won't be able to see the moon tonight."

"It's very interesting to think of Kunikida-kun's expression," Dazai said, "Don't you think Ito?"

I put my hands down and looked at him for a few seconds, then the corners of our mouths grinned at the same time.

"It feels really good to do things behind the teacher's back, hahahahahahahaha!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha hurry, I didn't come back again and again!"

The announcer glanced at us like a fool.

By the time Kunikida rushed into the broadcasting room, we had already disappeared. Half an hour later, we guessed that his murderous intention was not so strong before we sent him a message and asked him to meet somewhere.

"Really, thanks to you, I didn't find any clues today," Kunikida said with gritted teeth, "I have to give the client an answer tomorrow night, and if I don't hand over the cat to the detective agency, my reputation will be disgraced. !"

"Relax, Kunikida-kun," Dazai said as he sat on the bench with his two slender straight legs crossed, "Isn't there a saying that when you find something inappropriate, just calm down and do your own thing well, etc. After almost forgetting about it, that thing will pop out on its own."

Kunikida obviously disagreed with this sentence: "If it were so easy, there would not be so many thefts in the world."

I stood with my back to the two of them and quietly opened my eyes to explore the surroundings.

The conversation between the two of them continued, and I don't know what Dazai was talking about again, Kunikida rushed up and grabbed his collar frantically, shaking, shaking, shaking, and he didn't forget to say to me during the shaking, "Ito. , contact the client, and then ask him where he has been these days—Yitou?"

Seeing that I didn't answer, he called my name several times until the other party let go of Dazai and came to me and asked, "What did you think of?"

"Ah? It's nothing, I'll call the client right away..."

Suddenly, a cat that looks similar to the photo appeared in Bai Yan's field of vision.

He swallowed the words before he finished speaking.

"Actually, what Dazai said is sometimes quite right." I quickly took out the tanuki mask and put it on, and said this for no reason. "Some things can pop out by themselves inadvertently."

"what?"

Dazai also followed.

Kunikida didn't know why, so I didn't have time to explain it to him, so I left a sentence of "wait for my good news" and jumped into the next car next second, stepping on the roof of the traffic and running all the way.

Kunikida's shouts behind him were gradually drowned out by the loudspeakers.

—I’m not sure if it’s the client’s one, but… whatever, just catch it!

I locked the cat with my eyes wide open, ran three roads and countless residential buildings under its leadership, and finally found its trace on a very tall Metasequoia tree.

The kitten seemed to have no idea that he would be in a desperate situation when he was wild. It was easy to jump up and down, and he could only curl up into a ball and squat among the branches, shivering.

Long-haired cat, with a little orange, a little fat, visual inspection is correct!

I calculated the position of the cat and the maximum height that I could reach with my own jumping power, then I stepped back a little and charged up to take off—

At this moment, a man in a white coat with a blond loli by his side suddenly appeared from the corner of the street, and my body was already in the air, and I couldn't stop the car at all!

The man also didn't expect a trapeze to pop up after a good walk in the street, and he raised his face subconsciously following the arc of my jump.

"—Uncle, I've been offended!" I was heartbroken and shouted, "Borrow your face to use it!!"

The cold soles ruthlessly stepped on the man's face, I used my strength to kick up, and flexibly ran up to the Metasequoia to pick up the worry-free cat, and said happily, "I got it!"

Holding the struggling cat, I took off my mask and jumped into the Metasequoia, ready to apologize to innocent passers-by.

However…

"...I didn't expect to meet you at such a time," Sen Owai wiped the blood from his nose and said slowly with a face with shoe prints on his face, "It seems that we haven't seen each other for two years. Come on, Miss Ichito."

I:"…"

Is it time to call the police now?
