[Comprehensive] Sorry, Anna

Nyotaro is a very spiritual cat. His daily behavior often makes Anna feel that the other party seems to understand her own words, and there are often very human expressions on his face.

Since that weekend, Nyotaro sneaked out to play by himself, like a wild horse running wild, it sneaked out from time to time, without seeing the cat all day long, and would not come back until evening.

Anna was still worried at first, but after finding out that the other party completely remembered the way home, she let it go.

The only thing that makes Anna feel strange is that the cat litter prepared for Meowtaro at home is always clean, as if it has never been used.

However, thinking of Nyantaro always sneaking out to play, Anna felt that maybe Nyantaro was going out to solve his own problems, so she didn't think much about it.

However, until one day, after she woke up in the morning and walked into the toilet in a daze... Immediately, she stared at a cat sitting on the toilet.

"Meow!!"

The cat sitting on the toilet, with its limbs and feet on the edge of the toilet, and its butt facing the hollow in the middle of the toilet, saw Anna walk in, and it was stunned for a few seconds.

Then, after discovering that Anna had no intention of going out of the toilet at all, it let out a shrill cry, as if it was a completely different species from the previous soft-sounding cat.

Hurry up and get out!Don't let grandpa and I lose my security at the end of the festival! ! ?

Scared by the cry, Anna came back to her senses, and looked at it curiously. Amidst Meowtaro's excited meow, she regretfully went out and closed the door.

After more than half of the winter vacation, the New Year will soon be ushered in. The detective agency also had an early holiday. Anna followed Fukuzawa Yukichi to clean the house spotlessly clean, and then bought a lot of New Year's goods in the market.

Set up the door pine at the door and hang the shimenawa, so that you can only wait for the New Year's Eve to go to the shrine to pay homage.

Fukuzawa Yukichi prepared a small kimono for Anna with red plums printed on the white background. On New Year's Eve, he tied Anna up in a bun. His long silver hair was pulled up behind his head, and he adorned it with a few pink cherry blossom hairpins. In this way, the little princess has the full power to get her outfit done.

Fukuzawa Yukichi had never tied a child's hair before, and Anna's hair had always been combed just fine, so he did it clumsily this time, and it hurt Anna a lot.

After the hair was tied up, there were a few strands of silver-white hair on the comb, which made Fukuzawa Yukichi guilty of hiding those broken hairs in the palm of his hand, not daring to be seen by Anna.

The largest shrine in Yokohama is located on a mountainside in the west of the city. The vermilion torii gates stand in front of the stone steps at the foot of the mountain. At night, Fukuzawa Yukichi drove here with his family, one big and one small. Come.

Visiting shrines on New Year's Eve is a tradition in this country.

Therefore, the lights at the foot of the mountain were brightly lit, and many vendors left their stalls early to open up a small street.

There are fiery red lanterns hanging everywhere here, swaying with the wind under the night, and there are many residents who come to pay homage, crowding and walking back and forth on the street.

Anna held onto Luanbu's finger tightly and followed the two of them, fearing that if she let go, she would be scattered by the crowd.

Vendors on both sides of the street sell a variety of special snacks, and also hold various game activities, including quizzes and lucky draws.

However, Anna's eyes fell on a goldfish fishing stall, and she couldn't leave for a long time.

After Fukuzawa Yukichi noticed it, he leaned down and asked, "Does Anna want to play goldfish?"

Unexpectedly, Anna shook her head slightly.

The winter night was very cold, and the small fishes were swimming in the icy water, all of them looked listless.

"Little fish, it looks so cold."

As her voice fell, Fukuzawa Yukichi also noticed that these fish were not very energetic. He naturally understood Anna's worry about Xiaoyu, but in the childish words of the child, he didn't know what to do. answer.

Just at this time, Luanbu on the side spoke: "Fish are temperature-changing animals. They swim slowly not because they feel cold, but because when the temperature of the body and the temperature of the water are synchronized to a certain cold temperature, they will naturally swim. reduced activity levels."

Hearing this, Anna blinked her eyes half understanding. Although she was confused, this did not prevent her from looking at Luanbu with admiration: "That's amazing, Luanbu knows a lot."

Luanbu led her with a smile and said, "Famous detectives are naturally different from those ordinary people whose brains are like goldfish."

As a result, Anna looked at his eyes brighter, and Luanbu became even more proud.

On the other side, Fukuzawa Yukichi also breathed a sigh of relief. Whenever this happened, he would sigh that only a reliable "adult" like Ranpo can perfectly deal with children.

At this time, a reliable "adult" suddenly pointed to the wagashi snack booth beside him and said, "President, I want to eat that!"

After buying wagashi, the three of them walked slowly towards the shrine located on the mountainside.

It was winter, and the trees around the shrine were bare and only their branches were left, but because there were swaying red lanterns hanging between the many torii gates standing upright, there was no sense of desolation at all for a while. Come.

Seeing such a scene, the happiest thing is Anna. After all, this child likes red the most. This kind of festival with red lanterns hanging everywhere is exactly what Anna has been looking forward to for a long time.

There are many pedestrians on this stone step road, and most of them rush to visit the shrine to pray for good weather in the coming year.

But after entering the shrine, they realized that the crowd was so crowded that there was basically no place to stay. The three of them had to queue for a long time before they got a chance to enter the shrine.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the time and it was already 11 o'clock. Because there were too many people, the queue reached this hour before he knew it.

After the visit, Anna was held in Fukuzawa Yukichi's arms and fell asleep, but after seeing the long queues lined up in the side hall of the shrine, she suddenly regained her spirits.

"Aggie, what are they doing?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi was tall, and he took advantage of his height to look across the crowd.

"They're buying an Amulet, does Anna want it?"

Anna was stunned, looking at Fukuzawa Yukichi blankly.

"Amulet is an amulet that can keep people safe and happy. Do you want it, Anna?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi patiently explained to Anna, but Anna paused before speaking: "Yes, can I give it to a friend?"

friend?

Fukuzawa Yukichi suddenly thought of the stinky boy who often stayed with Anna before her vacation, and he didn't know how to feel for a while.

In the end he still nodded.

After all, Anna is his little princess.The wish of the little princess must be fulfilled.

then……

He saw that Anna bought thirteen guards in one go...

Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't hold back and asked, "Anna, do you have so many friends..."

Anna lay in his arms, picked up one of the guards and hung them around Fukuzawa Yukichi's neck, and then said: "One for Aji, one for Ranpo, six for Shinji Saki and their family members, and the bandage big brother One, one in Nakaya, one in Momiji, one in Seichi, and one in Nyantarou."

Anna counted on her fingers seriously, and read the names one by one. There were exactly thirteen people, but she didn't have her own name.

"Anna don't want it?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi finished speaking, but saw Anna nestled in her arms for a moment, then raised her face and said seriously: "I have, Aji, Aji will protect me."

You are my guardian.

This time, the stunned person was completely replaced by Fukuzawa Yukichi. He was silent for a long time, and there was a very shallow smile on his frozen face that had been expressionless all the year round, but it was fleeting and quickly It's like an illusion.

He lowered his head, pressed his forehead against Anna's, and said softly, "Yes, I will protect you."

At this time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and people gathered in front of the shrine, waiting for the countdown to the New Year's bell to ring.

But at this moment, Anna suddenly heard a soft meowing sound. She turned her head and saw a three-colored cat squatting on the trunk of a dry tree beside her.

Suddenly, Anna's eyes were filled with surprise.

She struggled a few times in Fukuzawa Yukichi's arms, and after being put on the ground, she immediately trotted to the tree, raised her face and opened her arms to the cat on the tree.

"Nyotaro! Did you follow me secretly?"

The three-flowered cat leaped lightly into the girl's arms, meowing and rubbing against the girl's cheek.

"Meow~" The New Year is all about being together as a family, isn't it?

At this time, the bell of the shrine rang, and the voices of the people rang together with the bell.

—— boom

"10!"

—— boom

"9!"

…………

……

……

"2!"

"1!"

"Happy New Year!"

--boom! ! !

Countless colorful fireworks rise from the foot of the mountain and bloom into colorful flowers in the night.

For a moment, the brilliance of the fireworks illuminated the entire night like day. Fukuzawa Yukichi and Ranpo stood beside Anna, with a fluffy three-colored cat in her arms sitting obediently on her arm. inside the bend.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year~"

"New Year, Happy New Year!"

"Meow~meow~"
