The skinny young man trembled when I asked him, his palms were covered in cold sweat.

——The silhouette of the father wearing clothes sitting under the window and weeding the cherry tree in the distance emerged from his memory: "Not all children can have the love between parents and family like Fubuki, so ah, face It is always good to lend a helping hand to those who are in need. We can live well in Yokohama, and it is impossible not to give back to the city.”

I sighed, opened my arms and hugged the child who was shaking like a leaf tightly: "I'm sorry, it's the dereliction of duty of an adult that forces you to make a choice that goes against your will."

"But...no matter what you want to do, I hope that it is planned in a safe, well-fed environment. Extreme conditions will limit your vision, and the results you get are often not fair to you."

The boy tensed up to the extreme, he couldn't help but relax slowly before the expected scary scene.

No matter what he plans to do along the way, as long as he hasn't done anything yet, as long as his reason can control his behavior, or in other words, as long as things slip into an irreversible situation, or even after a bad result... as long as this child From the bottom of my heart and looking up at the sky above my head, I can forgive and help from my own standpoint.

I can't say "I forgive you" for others. From my own perspective, I am willing to give him another chance.Of course, it is impossible to escape the responsibility that should be borne by him.When children make mistakes, most of the problems are caused by the parents. If the innocent lose their support like this, it is the fault of the government.

In short, it's the fault of the Supernatural Secret Service Division.

The little boy who was hugged and patted by me almost went out of his body, and he pulled away unconsciously.The message prompt appeared again, and I turned on the phone to see that it was a message from Osamu Dazai.

"Um... so..."

After reading it, I stuffed the phone back into my pocket again, and straightened the boy's hair: "Well, I promise not to send you out casually. Go with me to a safe place to eat something before treating the wound, and then you want to Whatever you do, that's your own path."

Poor little thing, the nervousness is not a day or two, just a little frightened, meowing and desperately trying to get under the mother's belly.Right now, his trust in me has reached about [-] to [-]%. He is afraid and longing, fearful and obedient, his eyes have changed from contempt at the beginning to unconsciously showing weakness now. I use.

Such things as supernatural powers are like weapons in their hands. Even if they go out with a kitchen knife, many people will not use it to cut people casually.In other words, thinking with a normal brain circuit, the first thing that comes to mind when seeing a kitchen knife is definitely not "hacking a few neighbors with it".When you can't think of the functionality, the practical use doesn't exist for you.

When this child doesn't intend, dare not, or is unwilling to use supernatural powers on me, then to me, he is actually just an ordinary person, and then he is pulled into a familiar field by me and scared into a little quail with rich experience.

He followed me for a while, until he was completely out of the range of Leibo Street, and I called a taxi.

The fare is extremely expensive, but fortunately it can be counted as official expenses and reimbursed by the client.I can't guarantee whether there will be some other unexpected situation to stimulate this kid to change his mind again. How can the work results that have been scooped up in the bowl be allowed to run away?Of course it's impossible!

Fortunately, the combination with Dr. Yosano and Mr. Ranpo has returned to the detective agency. When I opened the door and walked into the office with the little boy, I saw Junichiro Tanizaki sitting on the seat holding a handkerchief and crying, and Naomi sat next to him and laughed at him.

"Ah... congratulations on passing the entrance test, Junichiro. Also, if you cry any more, you'll scare this kid!"

Junichiro was sobbing and let out a few "anger" from the crack of the handkerchief: "Miss Fubuki! You didn't even tell me..."

"What did I tell you? I only realized it temporarily, and no one told me in advance. Why did I tell you in advance? If I told you in advance, it should be considered cheating... I will be reprimanded by the president, don't!"

While vigorously "bullying" the younger generation, I pushed the boy I brought back to Akiko: "Check his health, and then I'll take him down to eat something. Anyone who has old clothes can help me with a few pieces first?"

"Oh? Good luck. The one we were looking for not only ran away, but also bit Tanizaki back. Mr. Ranpo said it would be better to leave him alone."

She stood up and began to make a preliminary inspection of the shivering little thing, and I sighed as I watched: "Yes, when the law is incapable, incapable, and incapable of asserting power for the weak, violence arises as the times require. And all we can do is Close your eyes and pretend not to see this vengeful tragedy."

I know it's a mistake to allow violence, but in this case, I don't want to change.I have no ability to seek justice for them, and I have no reason to prevent them from using their own hands to win justice.

That's a problem that Sakaguchi should worry about, not me.

Tanizaki Junichiro cried and said that he had a shirt that he could no longer wear. Although he was bitten by another cub, he did not vent his anger on other cubs with similar fur patterns. The reason to be able to sit here with the test.Naomi grinned and ran back to get the old clothes. Akiko finished the basic examination and rushed to the treatment room, nodding her head: "Come here, take a blood test, are you afraid?"

The boy glanced at me and shook his head: "I'm not afraid."

Saying not to be afraid in his mouth, he couldn't help but clenched my sleeves tightly.

So Akiko took the two of us into the treatment room, and each of us drew a tube of blood.

"It's time for you to have a regular physical examination. It's an employee benefit. You didn't come to do it last time. It just so happened to make up for it this time." She sealed the test tube in the refrigerator and planned to send it to a special laboratory later. He wanted to take out a sample coupon from his pocket and stuff it to the young man: "A coupon for a dessert shop, let me treat you to something to eat, good kids should be rewarded."

The little thing sniffled, and now he became obedient and soft, not at all like a swan in Leibo Street.

I smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and walked out with my arms: "There are a lot of delicious food in the cafe on the first floor. What do you want to eat? Sweet curry, bread, porridge, everything."

The little boy whispered: "I want to eat omelet rice..."

"Ruixin Omurice? Tasteful!"

Soon, a plate covered with trembling egg buns was placed in front of us, and the curdled outer skin of the egg was cut, and the semi-flowing egg liquid inside "splashed" and poured over the chicken and rice wrapped in tomato sauce.The rich milky aroma is tangy, it is the creamy mushroom soup that the boss enthusiastically subsidizes.

"Eat more, eat more, is it enough?"

The lovely hostess brought me a cup of milk tea and a piece of chestnut cake: "You should also eat more properly. You seem to have lost weight these days?"

In fact, it was because I was in the stage of staying up all night when I received the commission for the landscape painting. It is normal to lose weight, and it will naturally increase after I resume my work and rest.

I smiled and took a big sip of the milk tea, and the boss gave a satisfied affirmation from behind the bar.

"Hey, it tastes good, is there anything delicious?" The door was pushed open again, Osamu Dazai walked in front, Mr. Kunikida walked behind, with another boy on his tail - this is our original today mission target.

"Oh, omurice, it's too late to add another one." I raised my teacup to them.

The chestnut cake was cut in half secretly by bandaged hands, and the boss turned and walked into the back kitchen after Mr. Kunikida said "I'm sorry."

The boy who came in later was placed across from us and sat down. The two little animals met each other, and they seemed to be somewhat familiar with each other.

They were all fished out of Leibo Street, maybe there was a fight.

After eating and drinking enough, this one will be sent to Akiko for a basic inspection, and the specific results will not be known until tomorrow afternoon.But right now, while Mr. Kunikida was walking to the other end of the aisle to make a phone call, I lowered my voice and said to the two teenagers: "Although the Supernatural Secret Service Division cannot be said to be a good place, you can also track down information on those bad guys there, even It is more systematic and comprehensive than taking the risk to mix with gangsters. That... no matter what method is used, you must first consider how to end it before taking action, don't be afraid, I wish you good luck!"

The eyes of the two children lit up together, Dazai Osamu leaned against the booth and thought the chestnut cake tasted good, so he simply took the remaining half away: "I didn't hear that Fubuki-chan was suspected of instigating~ I hope tonight Saw the crab roll, thank you!"

I glared at him, and went to the bar to ask the boss to settle the bill - the bill for this meal, as well as the undeducted wages of someone, I can settle some of the previous credit, and order a cake for Junichiro to congratulate him Become an Official Investigator...

Throughout the winter, the detective agency was busy looking for these poor children, some of them were willing to be raised by the Supernatural Secret Service, and some were not.Many of those who were unwilling became informants of the detective agency—we did receive commissions from the Ministry of the Interior, but the commissions were only for "finding" and not "capturing", so there is no need to be so serious.

Until after the New Year, we basically met all the children we could trace.There are also some who can be hidden, those who have died but have not been registered, those who have been trafficked abroad, or those who have entered other social groups... etc., such children have also submitted a list to the list.

Years later, the president held a special meeting on this work. He only said that in the future, whenever there is an opportunity, we will continue to look for those children who can hide, and forget about the rest. We will not grab the work of the Supernatural Secret Service.

Everyone has no opinion on this. I have been running for half a year and I just want to rest.

During this period of time, I also found time to complete the commission from the owner of the paint shop, and the money I earned was transferred to Editor Kawase as a deposit.According to the plan we agreed on, I will be able to see the books of Oda Sakunosuke in bookstores in early summer, and I look forward to it.
