cat blues

So in the afternoon of the next day, Haruno Kirako rushed to the red brick building where the Armed Detective Agency was located, as previously agreed.

Osamu Dazai was lying on the sofa basking in the sun and drowsy, when he saw a female high school student with a mixed expression of insecurity and determination, knocked on the door, opened it and walked in.

He opened his eyes slightly, glanced at them and asked curiously, "Are you here to apply for a job as a clerk?"

"Hey? Is this the detective agency?" Haruno Qiluozi looked surprised. The other party was obviously only a teenager, but after taking a look at her, she knew the purpose of her trip. It was just as unbelievable as the person yesterday.

"Well, the president's office is inside." Osamu Dazai raised his finger and pointed to a door beside him, yawned and then fell back.

"Oh..." Haruno Qiluozi was stunned for a moment, and just about to walk over, she saw the door opened, and the black-haired boy wearing a detective vest that I met yesterday pushed the door and walked out.

"Ah, I guess it's about time for you to come, and you are here." Edogawa Ranpo said with a smile, "Please come with me."

Haruno Qiluozi followed and saw two doors on one side of the corridor, one was written as a meeting room, the other was written as a clerk's room, and at the bottom of the corridor was the president's room.

"President, Ms. Haruno, whom I had an appointment with yesterday, is here." Edogawa Luanbu pushed open the door of the president's room, and said to the people inside with a smile.

In the president's office, apart from the kind-hearted silver-haired man Kirako Haruno met yesterday, there was also a lady in a suit and skirt. After handing over the report in her hand, the lady nodded to them with a smile as a greeting. Then I walked along the corridor to the clerk's room.

"Hello, I'm Haruno Haruko." The female high school student bowed at a ninety-degree angle to Fukuzawa Yukichi, and did not forget to hand in her resume, the parent's part-time work consent form, and the school's relevant documents allowing part-time work .

Fukuzawa Yukichi signaled the other party to stand still, and then he carefully examined the things the girl handed over. This Miss Haruno has excellent grades in school, and the teacher's evaluation is "excellent in character and learning".He stretched out his hand and pressed the bridge of his nose, "Miss Haruno, as a part-time clerk, I still have to remind you that the work of the Armed Detective Agency may lead to the prying of some Yakuza organizations. We will do our best to protect you, but the agency may also encounter something dangerous."

"Don't worry, I know." Haruno Kirako clenched her fists vigorously, "After all, they are all from Yokohama, and we still know the specialties here."

Fukuzawa Yukichi was dumbfounded for a while, and he returned these things to Haruno Kirako after a while, "I have passed it. From now on, you will be a part-time clerk of our detective agency, mainly responsible for clerical work. Your part-time working hours are not limited. It is not fixed, just need to maintain 28 hours of on-the-job time per week. Part-time wages will be paid on an hourly basis.”

"Okay!" Haruno Qiluozi replied confidently, and after she finished answering, she looked around strangely, "Well, President Fukuzawa, where is the big cat from before?"

"Mr. Yukichi went to the pet store in Chinatown to deliver something." Edogawa Ranpo put his hands behind his back, and muttered a little angrily.

When he was still about to say something, Fukuzawa Yukichi interrupted his speech, "Walk around, don't be rude."

Miss Cat Nu drooped her shoulders in frustration, and planned to go to the clerk's room to find out about her work with her seniors. When she opened the door of the president's room, she saw a guy dressed in a weird way who was thinking come over.

"Wow..." Haruno Qiluozi was taken aback at first, and then realized that the guy who was covering herself tightly in front of him should be Yuji Maomao, and suddenly became happy again, "Mr. Cat!"

Yujimao took off his coat and scarf. The weather outside is getting hotter and hotter. As a big cat, his body temperature is higher than that of a human. He has to wear such thick clothes for going out. easy.

Mao Mao and Miss Haruno nodded in greeting, and Haruno Qiluozi held her cheeks in a nympho, "It's so cute!"

The big cat looked at her with some puzzlement, stretched out its paws and pressed it lightly on her head, Haruno Qiluozi felt all the blood in her whole body rushed to the top of her head, and she almost walked in with flowers floating. Clerk's room.

Seeing her like this, the lady clerk inside immediately understood her situation, and said to her with a smile, "Mr. Yuji is cute, isn't he?"

"Mr. Yukichi is that cat's name, right? It's amazing, it can grow so big..." Haruno Qiluozi was in a nympho for a while, and then remembered another thing a little belatedly, " But I remember, the president’s name is Fukuzawa Yukichi, right? Why did you give Maomao the same name as yourself?”

"I don't know, but according to the investigators, it seems that Mr. Yuji chose it himself?" Miss Clerk said with a smile.

"What? Is it like this?" Haruno Qiluozi felt that if she raised a cat in the future, if the cat had to choose her own name, she would definitely be willing to give up the name!

Yukichi Maomao put the bag in his hand on the president's desk. Fukuzawa Yukichi took it over and saw that it was full of various snacks.

"Wow, isn't this sold in Chinatown? I remember the super expensive ones." Edogawa Ranpo has sharper eyes than Fukuzawa Yukichi, and he immediately saw the pastries he had seen in the newspapers earlier , raised his hand and wanted to take it.

Yukichi Maomao took out two boxes of beautifully packaged pastries from the bag, handed one box to the coveted Edogawa Ranpo, and the other box to Fukuzawa Yukichi, and got up to make tea for him at the same time.

"Earl D is polite." Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned, but thought that the other party was giving it to his big cat, so he had no choice but to say so. After thinking about it, he returned the bag to Yukichi Maomao, and at the same time Don't forget to tell Edogawa Ranpo, "You should restrain your snacks a little bit."

"Hey..." The boy who was still chewing mung bean cake showed a somewhat depressed expression.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the president's office, and Oda Sakunosuke's voice sounded outside, "President, there is an urgent commission from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and I would like to trouble Mr. Ranpo to check it out."

"Come in..." Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded in response.

"Hey, the Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo?" Edogawa Ranpo showed a smug expression while eating, "I really can't do anything about them, Oda, what is the commission, let me take a look."

"It's a commission about the explosion." Oda Sakunosuke walked in with a stack of fax papers, "The Metropolitan Police Department is in a hurry, and I'm asking Mr. Ranpo for help."

"Explosion?" Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded immediately, "Ranpo, it's okay for you and Oda to take a trip to Tokyo?"

"Don't worry, one glance is enough for such a trivial matter." Edogawa Ranbu stood up handsomely from the sofa, raised his hand to put on his detective hat, and Yukichi Maomao immediately put his detective coat on And handed it over, "Thank you, Mr. Yuji, President, let's go."

"Hey, where are you going? Tokyo? I'm going too, I'm going too!" Dazai Osamu's fussy voice came from the door, and Oda Sakunosuke agreed after a little thought.

When Yuji Maomao walked to the office outside with the bag, he saw that the office was empty, and Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko walked out of the infirmary beside him, "That guy Dazai, you will Give me trouble."

She was still holding a huge medical book in her hand, "Really, he's gone too, isn't there no one in the office?"

After talking with Yosano Akiko, he saw the big cat Yuji, quickly put the book in his hand on the table, walked over to touch the big cat's paws and pads with a smile, and then sat down again, looking at the book in his hand. While reading the book in Li, he complained casually, "Really, isn't Zhongye's school club activities over yet?"

Yukichi Maomao took out a snack from the bag and pushed it to Yosano Akiko, put the big bag of snacks into her locker, and began to tidy up the messy sofa that Osamu Dazai slept on.

After tidying up, looking at the comfortable sunshine, Yuji Maomao simply lay down on it by himself, and soon fell asleep in the sun.

"Wow, Mr. Yukichi is so cute when he is asleep."

"Ah, Haruno, can I have two photos later?"

"No problem at all."

In a daze, Yuji Maomao heard such a voice, it yawned, and saw two women and a man surrounded by itself, it was Haruno Kirako, Yosano Akiko and I don’t know when. Back to Chuya Nakahara of the detective agency.

"Mr. Yuji, you're awake." Zhong also rummaged through his pocket and handed over some cat snacks, "This was given to me by a classmate in my class. She heard that I also have a cat, so she gave it to me." This is said to be a new cat snack."

Yuji Maomao took the cat snacks overjoyedly, holding the cat snacks in both paws, his eyes were almost shining.

"Kacha Kacha" Haruko Haruko never let go of any chance to take a close-up shot of the big cat.

"That, Miss Haruno?" At the other end of the corridor, it was discovered that Haruko Haruno, who had just gone out to get a document, was gone forever. The young lady who had been in the clerk's room couldn't help but came out to look for someone.

"Ahhh, I'll be right here." Haruno Kirako resolutely thrust her camera into Yosano Akiko's hand, grabbed the documents at the side and rushed over.

"Is that the new clerk?" Zhong also put his schoolbag on his desk and asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm here for a part-time job, and I'm still a high school student." Akiko Yosano said with a smile, "It's you, why did you come back so late today?"

"Not long ago, Undead Sichuan Bookstore released a call for essays, and people in the literature club were talking about it." Zhong also said with some headaches, "He insisted on not letting me go."

"Do you want to contribute too?" Yosano Akiko asked curiously.

"No, I write poetry, so even if I submit an essay, it's not an essay contest." Nakahara pulled out his chair and sat down, "Although there are two essays that I think are okay, I haven't found a suitable bookstore to submit them to. .”

"Poetry, this is even more unpopular than pure literature, Chuya, your taste is very good." Yosano Akiko gave him a thumbs up, "Come on, I look forward to seeing your work published. "

"Ah, thank you..." Zhong also scratched his head in embarrassment, when he heard the phone in the office rang suddenly, he took it, "Armed Detective Agency, ah, Oda, eh? Are you going to Bomb disposal? Tokyo? No, wait a minute, what are you going to do in Tokyo?"
