cat blues

Because of what happened at PortMafia before, the clerks who came back found that more than half of the office had been smashed, and three of them were scared to resign on the spot.

As a result, the Armed Detective Agency, which had only recruited four clerks, had only one clerk left in an instant.

Fukuzawa Yukichi had a headache, but he had no choice but to re-post the recruitment announcement, and this time he clearly stated the dangers that he might encounter when working in an armed detective agency, although he might face the possibility of not being recruited. However, the upright man who didn't want to lie at all did so honestly. He didn't want to encounter another situation where he finally recruited someone, only to be scared out of his job because of an attack on a detective agency.

Of course, he also raised the salaries of the clerks.

Regarding the matter of recruitment, Yuji Maomao can't help at all. During this time, it is helping to pack everyone's luggage.In the Wanxiangtang, Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi had a serious discussion. The Fukuzawa old house here is indeed a bit too far away from the office where the detective agency is located. Even in the distance, he went to study The high school attached to Lihai University is too far away, it's better to move to the dormitory at the detective agency.What's more, the dormitory over there is actually almost renovated, and the only thing left is to buy some tatami mats, so that everyone can move in with their bags.

But if he really moved to the dormitory, Fukuzawa Yukichi thought it would be better for him not to live with everyone, otherwise they would be fine. If new people join the detective agency in the future, let them realize that the president also lives with them It's too easy to be nervous together.

Therefore, Fukuzawa Yukichi was still looking for a suitable house near the detective agency during this time. After all, he had to raise such a big cat, and he might occasionally come to the house in disorder, no, he would definitely come to the house frequently.

It turned out that the person who accidentally helped him solve this trouble was Count D. Not long ago, when he went out to buy rough snacks for Edogawa Ranpo, Fukuzawa Yukichi met someone who also came out to make a big purchase at a rough snack shop he often visited recently. Earl D.The other party seemed to see his troubles at once, and readily expressed that he could rent a house with a yard nearby to him at a very low price. Earl D's only request is to let Yujimao go to his shop a few more times. Of course, it would be even better if Yujimao could bring desserts.

Fukuzawa Yukichi did not agree on the spot, but went back and told Edogawa Ranpo about it, and then asked Yukichi Maomao what he thought.

The result was not too unexpected. Yuji Maomao had no objection to going to Earl D's side for a sit-down, and even wanted to take a freshly baked dim sum to Chinatown on the spot.

But of course it was stopped, and Edogawa Ranpo scolded Maomao angrily, saying that it was ungrateful or something, which made Yuji Maomao drowsy.

Now that they decided to move to the dormitory, everyone took action.

Yuji Maomao skillfully packed their luggage one by one, waiting for them to bring their things over.

But packing is back to packing, and life in the old house must continue.When Yuji Maomao went to the supermarket with a basket, the night was already a bit dark. The supermarket owner welcomed him as always, and when he saw him coming in, he rushed over to find him and squeeze the meatballs.

The residents around here are also used to the mysterious guests who will appear after ten o'clock. Many people are guessing how shy this person wearing a cat leather jacket is, so much so that he has to wear a large size when he goes out. leather case.

Yuji Maomao first went to the fresh ingredients area to pick out the food to eat tomorrow. Although the fresh ingredients here are not as good as in the morning because it is close to the closing time of the supermarket, it is also because of the lack of quality. Something sucks and gets a discount.

Yujimao is a big cat who is very diligent and thrifty. Even if the food is not so good, it can still make amazing food.

Yuji Maomao put away the ingredients with ease, and then walked to the snack area on the side. Recently, it didn't have much time to study snacks. Maomao decided to buy some in the supermarket to take back to the famous detective at home.

Then when it walked through the candy area, it accidentally saw a package that shouldn't be placed in the candy area, it was a bottle of bozi soda.

Mao Mao stretched out her claws to take a bottle and glanced at it, her cat's eyes widened in surprise, this, this is actually wave candy!

Maomao has never seen such a snack before, so he decisively took three bottles of popcorn soda candy with different flavors from the cabinet shelf and put them in his shopping basket. A famous detective will definitely like this thing!

After paying the bill at the counter at the door, Yuji Maomao walked back slowly with two bags of goods contented.When it came to a corner, it finally couldn't help but look back, and saw a girl wearing a school uniform in the style of a small suit sneaking behind it.

Noticing that Mao Mao turned her head back, the girl hurriedly hid behind the telegraph pole. The telegraph pole was not thick enough to completely cover the figure of a girl, but the girl seemed to think that she was hiding perfectly .

Yuji Maomao is a little baffled. I met this girl by chance in the supermarket. Like me, she came to choose discounted fresh ingredients. But in the supermarket, when the girl met me , a very strange expression appeared on his face, and he followed him all the time, and now he even followed him out of the supermarket.

What is this doing?

Yuji Maomao doesn't know why.

But the other party just followed him, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thinking of this, Yuji Maomao looked back again before continuing to walk forward.

"Yuji..." Not far away, a silver-haired samurai stood under a street lamp with his hands in his sleeves, and a black head popped up beside him, "Mr. Yukichi—"

Yuji Maomao nodded to them very reservedly, and then quickly took out the wave soda candy from his shopping bag and handed it to Edogawa Ranpo.

"Ah, it's this one. I didn't expect their family to have a new flavor." Edogawa ranpo took it over and looked at it, and said with a smile.

you know thisMaomao looked at him curiously.

"Yes, but before I bought their wave candies are all in bags, and the bottled ones are Mr. Yukichi, you bought it for the first time, so you didn't notice it—" Edogawa Ranpo looked proud He said like a child, and after he finished speaking, he also looked behind the big cat.

Fukuzawa Yukichi even saw the girl who was following the big cat over there early in the morning. He coughed and said in a slightly serious tone: "Miss, you should go back."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." The girl who was obviously still in high school screamed in a hurry after being shouted at by someone, and she accidentally fell to the ground, and the things in her hands were scattered all over the floor.

"You are so stupid." Edogawa ran out.

Yukichi Maomao and Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't see such a scene. One person and one cat put the things they were carrying in their hands on the ground. The big cat walked over to help the girl, while the serious warrior Mr. Pick up things scattered all over the floor.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." the girl wearing round glasses said shamefully, but she looked at Yujimaomao unconsciously while speaking, and then she said as if confirming, "But this A real cat, not a man in a holster?"

Yuji Maomao was so nervous that the fur on his back burst out.

Fukuzawa Yukichi was stunned for a moment, handed the things to her, and said without admitting or denying, "Little girl, it's time to go back. Where do you live? It's too dangerous to come out alone at night."

"I, I live not too far from here..." The girl took the things and said with some embarrassment.

"No, you should live quite far from here, but you came here because you heard that there would be people wearing big cat leather jackets shopping in the supermarket here at night?" Edogawa Ranpo But he exposed the girl's lies.

The girl's face turned red immediately, obviously she is not a girl who is used to lying.

"Are you still looking for a part-time job?" Edogawa Ranpo continued to ask at this time.

"Yes, yes, but..." The girl felt that the boy in front of her seemed to have mind reading skills or some strange skills.

"Yoshi, president, this girl is looking for a suitable part-time job. We just want to hire a clerk. If we can't find a full-time job now, let's hire a part-time job first." Ranpo Edogawa said with a smile.

"Huh?" The girl was stunned instead.

"Don't you really like cats?" Edogawa Ranpo looked at her with a smile, then pointed to the big cat beside him and said, "Mr. Yukichi is the mascot of our detective agency."

"I'll do it!" The girl immediately reached out and grabbed Yukichi's big cat's paw.

"Yoxi, what's your name?" Edogawa Ranpo just glanced at the things dropped by the other party. There were homework books with full circles, ticket receipts, part-time job information books sold at convenience stores, and some cats. The shape is small and fragmentary, and there is a cat pendant hanging on the schoolbag. In addition, the other party immediately judged that the other party was a cat rather than a human after coming into contact with Yujimao. Obviously, this is a typical cat lover, and he is still A senior cat slave like the president and the supermarket manager.

"Kirako Haruno." The girl shook Yukichi Maomao's paw vigorously, shaking Maomao so that she looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi aside for help.

Fukuzawa Yukichi reluctantly came forward and took his big cat away from the girl named Haruno Kirako, but he still said to the girl: "Haruno-kun, the Armed Detective Agency is not an easy place, I suggest you go back and find out more about it." How about we discuss it in detail tomorrow?"

"Hmm..." The girl nodded her head repeatedly as she watched the cat go away from her. When she turned to leave, she looked very reluctant, and after a while, she turned around and said loudly to the two people and the cat behind her: "I, I will definitely come over, you are an armed detective agency, right? I will come over tomorrow after school!"

After finishing speaking, the girl hurried away.

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked helplessly at the young man who was smiling proudly beside him, then walked over to pick up the bag that was placed on the ground earlier, "Going back..."
