[Comprehensive] Sorry, Anna

Chuya's punch was so fierce that Dazai staggered and fell to the ground.

In just a moment, that fair face quickly became red and swollen.

Dazai sat on the ground, covered half of his face, and moaned in pain: "Hiss...it hurts."

When Anna saw Dazai, her eyes lit up instantly, since that day when her elder brother said he was going to hold a parent-teacher meeting but fell ill, she has never seen her elder brother again.

Even though she went to Oda Writer every weekend and brought her snack bag, her eldest brother never came as scheduled, which made her worry for a long time, thinking that her eldest brother was seriously ill.

Now seeing Dazai alive and kicking, the heart that has been hanging has finally let go.

However, after Nakaya's punch hit Dazai directly, she was completely stunned. She ran forward nervously, facing Nakaya and stretched out her hands, the small figure protected Dazai behind her.

"No! No, hit big brother!"

Seeing the condemnation in Xiaotuanzi's eyes, Zhongya was stunned, put his hand in his pocket uncomfortably, made a "cut", and turned his head away from looking at the two of them.

"Good boy, don't fight!"

Her voice was as soft as ever, although she was expressionless, Chuuya could still feel that the child was already angry.

Zhong also frowned, for some reason, he felt that the look in the child's eyes was very obtrusive, which made him very unhappy.

Obviously just a moment ago he was happily running over to hug him, but that bastard Dazai groaned a few times and treated him with this expression.

Children's feelings are so cheap, they come quickly and leave no trace when they go.

He snorted coldly, turned his head away, and stopped looking at Anna.

At this moment, Dazai's cry of pain increased a bit, and Anna turned anxiously and worriedly to look at Dazai.

"Big brother, is big brother injured?"

Anna looked at Dazai worriedly, holding a pair of small hands nervously in front of her body. Wearing a bloated coat, she looked like a round red ball at the moment, extremely cute.

As soon as Dazai raised his eyes, he saw the worry and concern in Anna's crimson eyes, and he was stunned by this sight, and even his breathing slowed down subconsciously.

In fact, for Dazai who lives in the mafia, getting injured is a common occurrence. Although he is very afraid of pain, he has long been used to such pain when he survives on the edge of a knife. It didn't take much effort.

However, just looking at the child's concerned expression, for some reason, he subconsciously acted coquettishly towards a child.

"It hurts, it hurts, Chuya's punch almost killed me, look here, it's all swollen."

He frowned, looking so painful that he couldn't take care of himself, and pointed pitifully at his injured cheek.

Anna didn't doubt that he was there, and immediately leaned over to hold his cheek nervously, and gently blew on the red and swollen place.

"Hoo hoo, it hurts to fly away, it hurts to fly away."

At this moment, Dazai looked at the face of the child who was close at hand, his own cheeks were still covered with a pair of warm little hands, the hot breath exhaled by the child hit his face again and again with white mist, bringing With the unique fragrance of candy.

A strange feeling began to spread in his heart, even in the cold weather here, it made him feel warm.

Dazai raised his eyebrows, and after suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, he suddenly said, "Did you eat candy?"

Hearing this, Anna subconsciously became nervous.

Today's snacks, in fact, she had already eaten them all in the morning. Aji said that children should not eat too much candy, or their teeth will be broken, but she still couldn't help but put a lot of candies in her bag.

When she was on the tram just now, taking advantage of Aji's inattention, she secretly stuffed one into her mouth, but she didn't expect her big brother to find out!

She pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.

When Dazai looked at her, he basically guessed it all. He looked at the white-haired man at the door who was looking at him with a blank face, and said to Anna in a low voice, "I'll give you half." , I will not tell President Fukuzawa of the detective agency."

Anna pursed her lips, subconsciously pressed her hands on her small bag, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

Fukuzawa Yukichi stood at the door for a while, he saw Anna and Osamu Dazai talking in a low voice, strode over and took Anna by the hand.

"Let's go, we still have to go up to the fifth floor."

Hearing this, Dazai just got up from the ground, glanced at Chuya who was feeling awkward, smiled and leaned over and said: "You guys are going to the fifth floor to find Miss Hongye, so I just happened to be on the way, I'll go with you."

"Red leaves!"

When Anna found Hongye, she was sitting in the office buried in a pile of documents. The moment she saw Anna, her expression was filled with uncontrollable surprise.

"Anna!"

Xiaotuanzi's cheeks turned red because of the wind blowing downstairs, Ozaki Koyo walked over and squatted in front of her, covering her cold cheeks with warm hands.

"How did you come?"

Anna looked at her, and said softly, "Happy New Year, Hongye."

Hearing this, Hongye's eyes suddenly only had a soft light left.

The atmosphere in Hong Kong is different from that of the outside world, and she has been living alone all the time, so she didn't notice it, and a year passed like this unknowingly.

"Happy New Year, Anna." She paused, and greeted the three people behind Anna: "Stop standing there, sit down."

Because she didn't realize that the New Year was coming, Hongye didn't prepare any red envelopes. She took out her wallet from the desk, took out a thick wad of banknotes, and stuffed them into Anna's hands.

"Here you are, New Year's money."

Holding such a thick wad of money, Anna, who had a childlike mind, also felt that something was wrong, and she turned her head to look at Fukuzawa Yukichi hesitantly.

Fukuzawa Yukichi said blankly, "It's too much, just use the lucky money to make it auspicious."

However, Koye Ozaki doesn’t think so, she really likes this soft and lovely child, money is just a useless number to her, she wishes to give Anna the best she can, so that she can be mediocre An An grew up happily.

"Not much. The more and thicker the New Year's money is, the better it is to suppress evil spirits." Having said that, she gently patted Anna's head.

"Grow up quickly, Anna."

At this moment, Dazai who was sitting on the side smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Big Sister Hongye. Dazai is still a child, and Dazai also needs lucky money."

If you really look at his age, Dazai will be only a year old. In a sense, he is indeed still a child, but Hongye doesn't like him. When he glanced at him lightly, Dazai curled his lips knowingly, no No more words.

Chuya next to him was the most uncomfortable. For some reason, remembering the condemnation in Anna's eyes when she looked at him angrily just now, he subconsciously followed behind them and walked up together.

So, in the harmonious atmosphere of several other people, he alone feels like sitting on pins and needles.

At this moment, there was only regret left in his heart, and he kept asking himself why he followed him so obsessively just now?

It's better to report to Mr. Mori earlier and go home to rest earlier.

Seeing that Fukuzawa Yukichi did not speak any more, Anna opened her small bag and put the money in it.

Afterwards, she took out an amulet and handed it to Hongye.

"New Year's gift, guardian, meeting, protect the red leaves!"

After Hongye took over the guard, she was stunned when she heard Xiaotuanzi's words. The child was looking at her with bright eyes, with all the best wishes for her in it.

She looked down at the guard in her hand, the red silk satin was embroidered with the word "Ping An" with gold thread, it looked ordinary, and it also carried a strand of sandalwood from the shrine.

In an instant, the heart softened and turned into a stream of warm water, which flowed back and forth and spread to the limbs, bones and internal organs.

She reached out and hugged Xiaotuanzi in her arms, pressed her forehead against her small head, and said softly, "Thank you, Anna."

After she let Anna go, Anna ran up to Dazai with the small bag, took out a red omori and handed it over.

"Give it to big brother! Big brother, don't get sick in the future."

Dazai was stunned for a moment, and only after receiving it did he realize that the word "health" was written on the amulet.

I'm afraid it wasn't that he really worried Anna when he got into the water and had a fever last time, so she kept thinking about this matter, except that the guards given to him were different.

Dazai didn't speak, and put away the Omori with a smile, then stretched out his finger and poked a small dimple on Anna's soft cheek.

Well, it feels good in the hand, and I can poke it for a while when I have a chance.

It feels so good to be missed by people all the time, even Dazai Osamu, the black mud spirit who walks in the world, is no exception. From the moment Anna stood in front of him until he received this Amulet, his heart has been warm Almost, completely forgot the idea of ​​jumping off the building just before the Hong Kong and Hei Building.

Anna was very uncomfortable being poked by him, she stretched out her hand to hold his messy finger, paused, then looked at his swollen cheek and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Just as he was about to shake his head, he immediately thought of something, covered his cheek again and began to exchange Ai Ai.

"It hurts so much, Chuya's strike is so hard!"

"Huh?!" Zhong, who had been sitting silently at the side as the background board, finally lost his composure, and the veins on his forehead were twitching violently.

"If I acted harder, you would already be in Santuchuan by now!"

He opened the mouth violently, and after he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Anna, and after seeing the disapproval in Xiaotuanzi's eyes, he snorted and turned his head away.

What, why would he want to suffer in this kind of place, sitting with this mackerel and breathing the air in the same room is almost as unbearable as being in a stinking sewer.

He didn't speak, but Dazai was like a roundworm in his stomach, guessing clearly what he was thinking at the moment.

"Me too, the slug Chuya sits next to him, even the air becomes dirty, um, I'm so sad, I can't breathe anymore."

"You bastard!"

One sentence made him violently irritable, Osamu Dazai is always like this, he knows how to deal with people tactfully, but it is unbelievable that he always needs to be beaten in front of him.

Just at this moment, Xiaotuanzi walked up to him, which interrupted the smell of gunpowder between the two of them again.

"This one, give it to Zhongye."

He looked over and saw the red guard lying on Xiaotuanzi's palm, the irritability that had risen from the bottom of his heart before disappeared without a trace in an instant.

However, he still insisted: "What, I don't need to..."

Before Zhong Ye finished speaking, two pairs of dangerous eyes in the room fell on him.

One pair is from Anna's old father, Fukuzawa Yukichi, and the other pair is from sister Momiji who has taught him.

He paused, swallowed back the words he hadn't finished speaking in an instant, and accepted them awkwardly.

"thanks……"

Anna stood in front of him and approached him, put her small hands on his knees, and said slowly: "You can't...you can't get angry, you can't fight...you can't abuse your strength."

At the beginning, maybe she just didn't want Chuya and Dazai to have another conflict, but the words turned into whispers at the end.

She muttered, her eyes blurred for a moment.

If you are angry, your strength will riot, and even if you vent it in a fight, it will only be a vicious circle.

If things go on like this, bad things will happen...

As she thought this way, the hands on Zhongya's knees unconsciously pinched his pants.

At this moment, a tall red figure vaguely appeared in her mind.

"Burned."

The lazy and dangerous voice came from a hazy distance, strange and familiar, but it made her heart throb for no reason.

"I can't... I can't..." She murmured stubbornly, looking at Zhong Ye with hazy eyes.

Zhong also keenly noticed that something was wrong with Anna, and the previous awkwardness suddenly disappeared, and he said with a solemn expression: "Hey, what's wrong with you?!"

Feeling that something was wrong, Fukuzawa Yukichi and Hongye immediately stepped forward to check on Anna's situation.

But Xiaotuanzi held Zhongye stubbornly, with anxiety and hesitation on his face.

"I can't... I can't..."

Zhong also looked at her like this, and responded helplessly: "I see...can you let go of my pants first."

"Yes, promise me..."

"Hey, you...I promise you, don't get angry and don't fight! Okay..."

The moment he finished speaking, Xiaotuanzi let go of his wrinkled trousers, and his strange expression finally returned to normal.

Anna's strangeness made Fukuzawa Yukichi feel a little uneasy. This is not the first time that this happened. Last time, after Anna shared her ability with others, it was the same situation. She muttered a few words stubbornly.

Red... Barbara...

Whispering and shedding tears.

After waiting for the tram on the way home, Fukuzawa Yukichi led her home, organized his words before asking, "Anna... did you remember something just now?"

Is it her family, friends, or the source of her strange ability?

Anna blinked blankly, as if she didn't quite understand what he was talking about.

Fukuzawa Yukichi sighed, and added: "Just now, why did the young man named Chuya Nakahara not get angry or fight?"

Hearing this, Anna pursed her lips.

"Because... feels, will happen, something bad..."

Speaking of this, the hand that she was holding by Fukuzawa Yukichi trembled slightly.

"I will... die..."

A huge sword hanging in the air suddenly appeared in her mind. The mottled sword body was covered with rust, and slag was falling down sparsely.

In an instant, all the blood on her face faded, and even her lips began to tremble slightly.

"Get angry, fight, power will riot, vent, cycle...the sword on the head will...will fall."

Anna's words reminded Fukuzawa Yukichi of the sword of Damocles hanging in the sky when her ability was activated.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was also branded with the red flame mark. This gift of energy brought an uncontrollable tyrannical impulse, but he was always self-sufficient, so he was not affected by it.

Ranbu's performance was almost the same as in the past, so he always thought that the impulse was only for him, and didn't take it seriously.

But Anna's words made him tense up instantly.

"The sword will fall...?! What will happen if it falls?"

In fact, he didn't need to ask, he could guess that once the giant sword hanging above Anna's head fell, the one who would bear the brunt of harm would be Anna under the sword.

However, this matter was so serious that he couldn't help wanting to detect more information, to know more clearly, so as to keep all harm out of the child's arms.

Anna looked at him, a look of pain suddenly appeared on his pale face.

"Will...will die...I don't know...I don't know, Aji, my head hurts."

Fukuzawa Yukichi held Anna in his arms nervously, feeling the slight trembling of the child's petite body in his arms.

So, he patted Anna's back lightly again and again and comforted him: "If you can't remember it, don't think about it."

Having said that, at this moment, his heart was extremely heavy, and once he thought that the giant sword might kill Anna, his heart throbbed with fear.

From the moment he brought home this dirty child like a stray cat, this little guy lived in his heart and became an inseparable part of his life.

Let him know that the sword of Damocles on the little guy's head may fall at any time, just like the sword is hanging on his head, which made him panic uncontrollably.

No, if the sword was really hanging above his head instead of Anna, he would not be so afraid.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who has always been calm and self-sufficient, doesn't know what to do at this moment.

……

At this moment, the sound of the crutches hitting the ground sounded. Anna and Fukuzawa Yukichi looked together, but saw an old man with orange, black, black and three-color hair in a brown windbreaker standing in front of the swaying street.

"Teacher...!" Fukuzawa Yukichi's pupils constricted suddenly, and he opened his mouth in shock.

That man, it seems a little inappropriate to say that he is an old man, because his appearance is in the middle age, except for a slight line at the corner of his eye, there is no trace of the imprint left by the years on his body.

But his age is indeed much older than Fukuzawa Yukichi, and he has reached the age of being a grandfather.

It is rumored that Natsume Soseki, the founder of the Armed Detective Agency, retired after realizing his "Three Moments Concept". This most powerful person in history, even his disciple Fukuzawa Yukichi and Mori Ogai didn't know where he was now.

And it was such a mysterious figure who easily appeared in front of the two of them at this moment.

In Fukuzawa Yukichi's mind, the teacher is omniscient and omnipotent, and the teacher who disappeared suddenly appeared in front of him...

At this moment, Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't help but suddenly had a guess.

Could it be... for Anna? ...

Anna's ability is very special, it is neither a supernatural power nor a personality, it includes a series of special abilities such as predictive empathy, and can even share the ability of flames with other people.

If he was in the position of teacher, would he also want to go out to find out?

In this port city that has finally stabilized, any unstable factors must be brought under control in a timely manner.

Teacher, is it for such a purpose?

The sound of footsteps and crutches was getting closer. Fukuzawa Yukichi stood up and looked at the familiar face of the other party. He didn't know what to say for a while, but in the end there was only a greeting.

"Long time no see, teacher." He paused, and then said: "The teacher knew about Anna's abnormal condition, so why come here?"

Natsume Soseki looked at Anna, then at his disciple, and finally his eyes fell on Anna.

He did have his purpose in coming here, but it was completely inconsistent with what Fukuzawa Yukichi said.

However, he did know about Anna's special ability, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it all this time.

However, Fukuzawa Yukichi's words caused a trace of doubt in his heart.

On Anna's body... Did something special happen?

However, such doubts cannot be easily expressed.

In the end, with an inscrutable look, he nodded following Fukuzawa Yukichi's words.

Seeing his actions, Fukuzawa Yukichi's eyes lit up a little, and they were filled with joy.

Natsume Soseki's sudden visit can be described as timely help, which made Fukuzawa Yukichi instantly like a man in the water catching driftwood.

Natsume Soseki originally planned to say a few words and leave, but he did not expect that Anna had something strange. It was really cold outside and it was not a good place to talk. It happened that Fukuzawa Yukichi's house was coming soon, so he went He returned home with his mentor.

Luanbu was not at home, Anna thought it was because Luanbu was bored, so she went out for a walk.

Others didn't think much of it either.

Therefore, Fukuzawa Yukichi led his mentor to the living room, and respectfully offered a cup of hot tea.

Anna sat on the small sofa on the other side, looking curiously at the old man with a kind smile in front of her.

Natsume Soseki took a sip of tea, and waved to Anna with a smile on his face: "Come here, child, come to me."

Hearing this, Anna walked over obediently. Although it was the first time they met, Anna always felt as if she had seen this grandpa before somewhere, it was unbelievably familiar.

Just as the old man took her little hand, Anna squeezed his palm subconsciously, which made Natsume Soseki stiff involuntarily.

Without him, because he is so familiar with this movement, every time Anna hugs him, she always squeezes his little paws to play with.

Natsume Soseki froze for a moment, and the next second his expression returned to normal, perfect without a trace of strangeness.

"The energy on her body is very smooth, without any abnormalities."

He said this to his old father Fukuzawa Yukichi who was sitting beside him.

However, Fukuzawa Yukichi was not at all relieved. He frowned and said, "When Anna uses her ability, a huge sword will appear above her head."

Natsume Soseki was very clear about this matter. Although he did not see Anna using her abilities with his own eyes, any disturbance in the entire Yokohama city would definitely not escape his eyes and ears.

It was precisely because of this that he turned into a cat that day and came to this little girl.

Then...the car overturned, and since then he has embarked on a road of eternal doom.

He didn't speak, and signaled Fukuzawa Yukichi to continue talking, and then his brows also raised when his incompetent disciple said next.

"However, Anna just said that the sword is likely to fall."

It is not a trivial matter that the sword will fall off. Let alone the huge energy contained in the sword, Anna under the sword is very likely to be safe.

But Natsume Soseki is different from his incompetent disciple. He is very calm, and his logic is very clear even in his old age.

He pondered for a while before he said: "There is nothing abnormal about this child's ability, at least not at this moment. What will happen in the future, we have to wait for it to have a precursor, so we can find a solution based on it."

The meaning inside and outside the words is to let Fukuzawa Yukichi relax first, and not be unable to calm down because of trouble.

However, caring is messy, and Natsume Soseki didn't understand him, so he didn't blame him, a student who has always been honest.

Fukuzawa Yukichi lowered his head, and obediently replied: "The teacher is right...it's me, I'm so restless."

However, as long as Anna was involved, how could he calm down.

This child would hug him every day and softly call him Aji. He couldn't imagine how he would deal with himself if he lost Anna one day.

On the other side, after Natsume Soseki comforted his student, he said to Xiaotuanzi in front of him, "Is your name Anna?"

Anna nodded obediently.

"My name is Anna, Kushi's name is Anna."

"How old is Anna?"

Natsume Soseki, like the kind old man who plays the role of elder in every family, smiled and asked Anna some questions about the family.

Looking at the child in front of him from a different angle, instead of starting from the perspective of a cat, Natsume Soseki realized...

Hmm... so cute no matter how you look at it!

In fact, he knew this information clearly, but he still couldn't help but want to go through the process, as if it was an old man's unique evil taste when facing the children of his grandchildren.

"Eight years old... No, after the new year, Anna will be nine years old."

Listening to the children's childish words, the smile on Natsume Soseki's face deepened.

After Anna finished answering, she raised her face and said seriously to Natsume Soseki, "Grandpa, happy new year."

This grandpa...so kind...and so familiar, she couldn't help but wonder.

"We, haven't we, where have you met, Grandpa?"

In a word, Natsume Soseki who asked was almost in a cold sweat.

He froze, and then said nonchalantly, "No, maybe grandpa has a bit of a public face."

However, Anna stubbornly shook her head.

"No... Grandpa's hair, it seems, Nyan Taro..."

Nyotaro also has black, white and orange hair, which feels fluffy and soft to the touch, just like Grandpa Natsume's hair at the moment, and it looks easy to touch at first glance.

"Is this...is that so?"

Natsume Soseki froze at first, but when Nyotaro was mentioned, he remembered the purpose of his trip.

"Is Nyotaro Anna's friend?"

Natsume Soseki knew clearly that Nyantaro was a cat (it was himself), but he still pretended not to know and walked through the process calmly.

Hearing this, Anna nodded first, then shook her head and said, "Niaotaro, yes, my family is my, favorite cat."

family……

Favorite cat.

Even though Natsume Soseki knew that Anna liked him very much, he was still involuntarily startled by this answer.

Children's feelings are always so pure. If you like it, you like it. If you like it too much, you will want to tell the world. Anna is no exception.

"Is that so..."

The smile on his face widened uncontrollably, and at this moment, Natsume Soseki's whole body was amiable and gentle.

"What do Anna usually play with Nyotaro?"

As soon as she mentioned her favorite kitten (actually big and fat.), Anna immediately got close to her grandpa in front of her. A pair of deep red eyes looked at him brightly, as if they were covered with soft starlight.

"With Meowtaro, eating snacks, pinching paws, hugging, watching TV, there will be a lot of fun!"

Speaking of this, she stretched her arms and danced in front of her, making a big circle in front of her, hoping to prove that she and Nyotaro had experienced many activities together.

However, none of Anna's answers were what Natsume Soseki wanted.

So, he asked again: "Niaotaro, are you smart?"

Anna nodded.

"That's it, what's so clever about Meowtaro?"

Anna blinked, thought carefully about how to get along with Miaotaro, and then said: "Miaotaro knows how to go to the toilet, warm the bed, open the cat food bag by himself, so smart, so smart."

It didn't get to the point at all, Natsume Soseki thought, he had clearly reminded him clearly, didn't he!

At this moment, Natsume Soseki wanted to help his forehead very much, but he knew he couldn't do it. His disciple was sitting next to him, so he had to maintain his inscrutable image at all times.

So, he finally couldn't hold back and brought up the topic.

"Anna, do you know that there are some unscrupulous owners who, after discovering that the cats at home are very smart, will conduct inhumane devil training on them."

Anna looked at him blankly.

"Devil training...?"

Natsume Soseki nodded sadly in his heart, but the expression on his face was still amiable, and there was no clue.

"Yes, devil training. For example... let the cat open the snack bag by itself, let the cat feed itself snacks, and even let the cat wipe the floor with its paws on the rag!"

The more Anna listened, the more she felt that this description seemed very familiar, and an answer was ready to come out at this moment.

At this moment, the door Kata at the entrance was opened by a key.

A man with the stature of a teenager in a brown cloak and a brown hat walked in.

"I'm back." Luanbu changed his shoes at the entrance before seeing a guest at home. He looked at the old man sitting on the sofa and tilted his head in doubt.

"Natsume... Sansan?"

Ranpo knew Natsume Soseki. When he grew up under the blessing of the president, he had seen this old man who was highly respected by the president many times.

However, this time, he subconsciously opened those emerald green pupils, and with just one glance, he got the information he wanted from the chaotic information.

Then, he paused, looking at the old man sitting on the sofa with an unpredictable expression.

The moment Natsume Soseki saw Ranbu, he wanted to blow his hair like a cat, but he quickly suppressed that feeling with his years of self-cultivation.

"Long time no see, Edogawa." He said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ranbu returned to his smiling face, and replied, "Long time no see, Natsume-sensei."

"It's getting late, I should go."

After greeting Ranpo, he stood up pretending to be calm, and said goodbye to Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Edogawa Ranpo's gaze was extremely weird, and it made him feel like a stab in the back for just a moment, and Natsume Soseki only felt that he was extremely uncomfortable at the moment.

That child's thinking is very strong, and he can see through information that ordinary people cannot grasp with just one glance.

He shouldn't... fell off the horse!

As soon as he thought of this, Natsume Soseki couldn't sit still for an instant.

"Teacher, why don't you stay here tonight, there are still vacant guest rooms at home."

Fukuzawa Yukichi got up after him, keeping his rare mentor.

The old man shook his head, refused his request to stay overnight, and insisted on leaving.

Fukuzawa Yukichi saw that the retention was fruitless, so he followed the old man and planned to send him out, but Natsume Soseki refused him again.

"Just stay there and don't move."

After saying that, he waved to Anna again, "Anna, come here."

Xiaotuanzi walked over as he said, and the old man took his hand and walked slowly towards the door.

When he reached the door, Natsume Soseki squatted down, supported Anna's shoulders, and whispered to her.

"Anna, remember..." He paused, his voice low and sad.

"Cats... don't know how to clean!"

Natsume Soseki left.

At dinner, the food at home was still cold food, and Ranbu still had no appetite, nestling on the sofa and nibbling on snacks. Fukuzawa Yukichi was frowning and never calmed down.

After dinner, Ranpo and Anna sat on the sofa and watched TV. Nyotaro got in through the half-open window, jumped to Anna's feet, rolled and acted coquettishly.

"Meow Taro!"

Anna picked it up, looked at its four dirty little paws and said, "Where did you go to play, and you came back so late."

"Meow~"

Anna looked at Meowtaro who made herself dirty outside and sighed: "It seems that Meowtaro has to take a bath."

Cats hate water very much, but Meowtaro is not an ordinary cat after all. He has a human thinking mode, so he didn't struggle too much when he heard that he needed to take a bath.

However, the random steps at the side suddenly stopped Anna. After he took Nyotaro from Anna's arms, he spoke to Anna.

"Nyotaro is an adult male cat, girls can't bathe male cats, you know?!"

After saying that, he walked into the bathroom with Nyantaro in his arms.

Tuliu Anna stood blankly in the living room by herself, with a bewildered expression on her face.

But, Nyotaro is just a cat...

Ranpo lacks common sense, but that doesn't mean he's bothered about bathing a cat.

After adjusting the water temperature, he filled the washbasin with water, and put Nyotaro, who was not moving, into the sink.

Nyotaro thought that this little devil had come up with some bad tricks to punish him, but he didn't expect that Ranpo Edogawa was serious about bathing him from the beginning to the end.

Take him out after washing, and don't forget to wipe him with a dry towel, and then dry him with a hair dryer.

Seeing Nyotaro sitting upright, Ranbu smiled and said, "Am I that scary in the teacher's mind?"

Meow Taro:! ! !

Sure enough, he knew that once he walked away from this child, he couldn't hide any secrets.

"Teacher, he is already an adult, and he should learn to sleep by himself."

After saying that, he put the hair dryer back into the cabinet and patted Nyotaro on the head lightly.

Ranpo originally thought that such a smart Nyotaro might be transformed by some unknown supernatural being, but he couldn't guess anyway, this fat pig-like Nyotaro who only rolls around and acts cute every day, It turned out to be the unpredictable, respectable and lovely Grandpa Natsume Soseki.

Life is really too mysterious.

Before going to sleep, Anna was about to carry Nyotaro back to the room, but Ranpo stopped her with a smile, then grabbed her hands, and threw Nyotaro into the cat's litter in the living room.

Anna tilted her head in doubt, and said, "Random steps?"
