[Fumino] Peaceful life in Yokohama

"Xiao Hai's strength and speed are indeed greater than ordinary adults." Yosano Akiko said: "I saw it just now. There was an accident in the commercial street just now, it was Xiao Hai..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't tell the embarrassing things about Mr. Ranpo!" As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ranpo quickly yelled and interrupted Akiko Yosano.Such a shameful thing, no matter what, the fourth person must not know!

Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while and said, "Although I don't know what happened, Xiao Hai is just an ordinary seven-year-old child." He emphasized to the two of them.

Although he didn't quite believe it, he probably knew that Ranbu was not aimlessly.Although he didn't know what happened, and he didn't see the specific situation at the scene, but probably, Xiao Hai's physical fitness is not bad?Maybe this has something to do with Xiaohai's supernatural ability.I don't know if this improvement in physical fitness is long-lasting or short-lived.If you want to be sure, you have to go to Dazai to have a touch.But he would never let such a scene happen before his eyes.What happened after Dazai and Xiaohai came into contact before is still vivid in his memory, he doesn't want to see such a scene again.

Until now, Oda Sakunosuke only knows that Xiaokai's supernatural ability is that as long as he has money, he can do many things, but he is not very clear about what he can do.When Xiao Hai was asked, he also looked confused, and sometimes even fell asleep on the spot, making a "zzz" sound.

But this does not prevent him from being sure that Xiao Hai is a weak child.He reached out and touched the hair of the child sitting in his arms. The body held in his arms was soft and immature. Even if he had strength and speed beyond ordinary people, if he was met by a professional killer, no, he didn't even need a professional killer. The killer, if they shot at Xiao Hai suddenly, would he be able to react?Can he protect himself?Does he have enough guard against people with bad intentions?

Apparently, neither.

Neither this nor that.But he happens to have a coveted ability to resurrect.

How can this make him feel at ease?

If Oda Kai is discovered by others, even if he is rich in fighting power, he will not have the confidence to protect him.

Edogawa Ranpo reminded: "If you want to protect him, it's better not to be too nervous. The more secretive something is, the easier it is to arouse curiosity."

"Mr. Ranpo is exaggerating too." Seeing the anxious atmosphere between Oda Sakunosuke and Edogawa Ranpo, Akiko had to help smooth things over: "It's just because Xiaokai is too cute, and Oda is too dangerous outside. Mr. is so nervous."

Oda Sakunosuke thought for a while, and said: "That's right. Xiao Hai is too cute and easy to be targeted by bad guys. I saved Xiao Hai from the bad guys during the Longtou war before, and I couldn't help but overdo it." nervous."

Ranpo pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, and went straight to the detective agency, bypassing Oda Sakunosuke.

Oda Sakunosuke walked out holding Oda Kai.

"Mr. Oda, Mr. Ranpo..." Seeing the two walking in opposite directions, Akiko Yosano hesitated to speak.

"Ah, don't worry," Oda Sakunosuke stopped, "Actually, I have asked for leave from the president before. I have something to go out this afternoon, and it has nothing to do with Ranpo-san."

Only then did Yosano Akiko feel relieved.

What Oda Sakunosuke said was not an excuse. In fact, when he was on a mission in the morning, he received a message from the editor of the publisher who had submitted the manuscript, saying that his manuscript had been accepted and he wanted to chat with him.After returning from the task, he took advantage of the opportunity to ask the president for leave.

The work of a detective agency is slightly different from that of other places. Although there are clear commuting hours, when there is no entrustment, the investigators in the agency are not too constrained, and wages will not be deducted if they ask for leave.This has nothing to do with the investigator's work content. After all, in many cases, the commissioned content does not distinguish between day and night. When there is work, they may even be dispatched in the middle of the night, violating the agreed commute time.Given the circumstances, it is not surprising that management is loose when there is no mandate.After all, in things like work, one must be relaxed, otherwise it will be regarded as squeezing employees.

Oda Sakunosuke took Oda Kai to eat lunch first, and then came to the place where he had an appointment with the editor.The other party was a man who looked about 50 years old. He had the beer belly and thinning hair problems that men of this age usually have. When Oda Sakunosuke arrived at the place, the other party was already sitting on the seat waiting for him.

"Hello, I'm Qingshan Yueshui." The other party introduced himself: "You are Mr. Oda, the author of "Rain", right?"

The two began to chat about the works of Oda Sakunosuke, including manuscript fees and so on.Oda Kai sat next to him, a little bored in a daze. After the waiter brought the drinks ordered by the two of them, he cheered up a little, biting the straw and playing non-stop.

After the editor left, Oda Sakunosuke looked at Oda Kai who was quietly playing by himself, and said, "Sorry, it's boring to follow me."

Oda Kai nodded.

"I knew I should have brought a picture book." Oda Sakunosuke rubbed Oda Kai's little head: "Sorry, I will remember next time."

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon when I finished chatting with the editor, and the agency had already asked for leave, and Oda Sakunosuke didn't go back, so he took Oda Kai back home and cleaned the house by the way.Oda Kai took a rag and wiped it around.

When going to bed that night, Oda Sakunosuke hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked Oda Kaidao: "Xiao Hai, do you want to learn fighting?"

A. What is fighting?

B. zzz.

"What is fighting?" Oda Kai asked confused.In his little head, there is no concept of this vocabulary at all.

Oda Sakunosuke had to take the time to explain the meaning of fighting.Oda Hai heard it in a daze, and said after a while: "Although I still don't quite understand what it is, but since you want to teach me, father, I will learn it."

Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help but said: "You can also refuse. You have the right to refuse."

Oda Kai didn't speak any more, buried his head in Oda Sakunosuke's arms, and soon made a "zzz" sound.

There is really nothing to do with him.Oda Sakunosuke hugged Oda Kai, a little helpless.He is the one who says he wants to teach, but he is also the one who doesn't want to teach.
