Another peaceful day.

Oda Sakunosuke lifted the quilt to get up, passed the kitchen and pressed the coffee machine, and then walked to the bathroom.

As a result, he walked to the bathroom door, but found that the door was closed. He subconsciously turned around and planned to leave first, but suddenly stopped after yawning, scratching his head in a little confusion.

[The door was closed after I came out last night...]

He shook his head, turned around and pushed open the bathroom door.

After washing up, Oda Sakunosuke just picked up the coffee when the phone rang, so he had to put down the cup and went into the room to answer the phone.

"Oda?"

Kunikida Doppo's familiar voice came from the other side of the phone, and Oda Sakunosuke responded, holding the phone and walking towards the kitchen.

[The coffee will be cold after putting it on, and if you miss the optimal temperature, it will not taste very good. ]

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just telling you not to go upstairs after you get back to work. I'll take the boy you picked up today to get acquainted with the situation of our detective agency. Let's gather at the coffee shop downstairs."

"OK, all right."

Oda Sakunosuke bent down and turned back and forth in the cabinet.

[Sugar... where is the sugar? ]

"Try to get there as early as possible. After all, that boy... Akutagawa, he hasn't passed the entrance exam, so you have to be responsible for everything he does today."

Oda Sakunosuke sighed silently, straightened his body, and completely gave up looking for candy that might not exist at all, "I see, I will go as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone over there, Oda Sakunosuke leaned against the cabinet and picked up the coffee cup again with some distress.

[Obviously I didn’t add sugar much before, and I don’t know why I suddenly want to add sugar... but if I can’t find it, let’s forget it. ]

Oda Sakunosuke stopped worrying about whether there was any sugar, and after drinking the cup of coffee boldly, he quickly left the dormitory and rushed to the building of the detective agency.

Speaking of the Akutagawa boy that Kunikida-senpai mentioned just now, Sakunosuke Oda still finds it a bit inconceivable.

He found Ryunosuke Akutagawa who was almost starving to death on the river bank. He thought that the other party had already passed out from hunger at that time, but he didn't expect that the other party suddenly launched an attack when he approached. If it wasn't for his ability to predict ability, the situation at that time was probably more ominous.

Maybe he'll be the first poor guy to be killed when he tried to save someone.

...Ah, it can't be said that it is the first one. Before that, there was that poor farmer who was bitten by a snake.

"Hey, Oda, is it Oda?"

Oda Sakunosuke paused, turned his head to follow the voice, the old lady in front of the Tobacco Hotel was looking at him with a smile, very enthusiastic.

"Oda, you haven't come here to buy cigarettes for a long time."

"Well, I'm slowly quitting smoking recently... smoking too much is not good for the children."

"Yes, yes, I remember you raised a lot of children."

The people passing by on the street would always interrupt the eye contact between him and the old lady, so Oda Sakunosuke simply walked across the street.

"The oldest child is called... Sousuke, right?"

"It's Kosuke." Oda Sakunosuke said, "I have never raised a girl named Ponyo either."

For some reason, the old lady always misremembered the names of the children he adopted, and she didn't know why she had watched too many children's animations, so she got the names mixed up.

"Oh, I remember, I remember." The old lady waved her hand, "I still remember that you were chasing cats here two days ago, did you accept the commission from the shop next door?"

"Yes, yes." Oda Sakunosuke nodded.

"Did the cat catch up?"

"Well, later it ran up and down the tree by itself and couldn't get up. After I took him down, it seemed that he didn't run away anymore, and was safely sent back to the client by the agency."

"That's good." The old lady said with a smile, "Some cats are like this. At the beginning, they bark their teeth and claws and always scratch people. Later, when you find out that yours is better, they will show cuteness. So cute."

"Yeah." Oda Sakunosuke raised his hand and looked at his watch, realizing that he might be late if he didn't leave, so he planned to say goodbye to the old lady.

Who knew that the other party suddenly smiled and asked him kindly at this time: "Is your cat okay? It won't get lost again this time, right?"

Oda Sakunosuke paused, and turned his words around 180 degrees, a bit strange: "...I have never raised a cat."

"Why not!" The old lady looked as surprised as he was, "A very handsome black cat, you really like him, didn't you go out for a walk with him a while ago?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

He didn't respond, no matter what he thought, there was no black cat in his memory, it could only be that the old lady in front of him misremembered his situation with someone else.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't get to the bottom of it, he was really going to be late.

"I--"

"Forget it, you don't have it if you say no." The old lady sighed, but this regret that her statement was not recognized only lasted for a second, and was quickly replaced by the interest when talking about the next topic "Hey Oda, you don't know, the house next door where you caught the cat, the boss's daughter-in-law is going to give birth soon..."

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

[Ah, even if the 80-year-old boss gave birth to his own baby, I'm not interested anymore, I'm late. ]

He simply put down the hand that was wearing the watch, and looked at the other party with an eager look as much as possible.

……

……

……

After three hours, the old lady finally entered the tobacco shop because of thirst, and said goodbye to Oda Sakunosuke.

Oda Sakunosuke: "...Goodbye."

"Oh... Oda is such a patient child..."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't dare to listen to the other party's next words, otherwise he was afraid that the other party would talk to him for three hours after drinking the water.

But after that, even though he rushed to the coffee shop as fast as he could, he was still late, and as expected, he was reprimanded by his senior, Doppo Kunikida.

After explaining to the other party why he was late and demonstrating his expression at the time, he swore he saw the words "I really don't want to talk to this man anymore" on Kunikida Doppo's face.

Oda Sakunosuke sincerely apologized to the other party in his heart.

"Hmm... I think we should continue talking about the topic just now?" Feeling the awkward atmosphere, Tanizaki Junichiro bit the bullet and continued.

Not feeling any objection, Junichiro Tanizaki continued: "Mr. Akutagawa, did you just say that your sister is missing? What's going on?"

"I don't know." Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face was expressionless, but when he mentioned his sister, there was a slight fluctuation in his calm eyes like stagnant water, "She left my side suddenly one day. , I don't even know if she left voluntarily - but because of that, I must find her.

"In order to find her, I left my original place. I also had the honor to meet Oda-senpai. I am very grateful. If it wasn't for Oda-senpai, I might be dead by now."

Oda Sakunosuke waved his hand at him, signaling that he shouldn't pay too much attention, then turned around and asked the clerk for a super spicy curry.

"I don't know how she left... It's tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack." Tanizaki Junichiro was a little worried.

"Hmph, brother, you forgot," Naomi Tanizaki approached him and said with a smile, "We have the world's number one detective!"

Tanizaki Junichiro's eyes lit up: "Mr. Ranpo!"

"Yes!" Tanizaki Naomi rubbed his face, "Mr. Ranpo should also want to meet our new seventh investigator!"

Oda Sakunosuke took Curry's action for a while, and subconsciously asked: "Seven? Isn't it eight?"

"...Huh?" Tanizaki Naomi was taken aback, and Tanizaki Junichiro looked at each other, and then they counted together with their fingers.

Kunikida Doppo, Oda Sakunosuke, Edogawa Ranpo, Yosano Akiko, Tanizaki Junichiro, Miyazawa Kenji, plus the newcomer Akutagawa Ryunosuke, isn't it exactly seven?

The two looked at each other again.

Kunikida Doppo paid attention to their actions, and sighed, "This guy counts the president in."

The Tanizaki brothers and sisters suddenly realized.

"No—" Oda Sakunosuke paused, then shook his head strangely, "Forget it, don't worry about it."

Immediately he turned his head and called the waiter, "Miss, can I have a spicy curry? I have already graduated from kindergarten."

After getting the response from the other party, he thanked him contentedly.

A good day starts with a delicious curry.

The author has something to say: Ask a friend to help you name the chapter, and say that this chapter can be called: Things That Fall.

All of a sudden, I went to a bank in a play, and after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
