Mr. Oda and his friends

Only one day later, Miyata Hiyori's identity information appeared in the mailbox of the detective agency like a ghost.According to Ranpo Edogawa, who was on the night shift, he just took a nap. When he woke up and opened the door, he found a file bag outside.

Not even the sound it should have.

"Using some kind of supernatural ability to conceal the body shape, well, there is no malice anyway, so don't care about it."

It has to be said that Ranpo is actually a young man with a big heart and a big belly.He seemed to understand something, and he held back the words when he reached the tip of his mouth, and thoughtfully hid the secret for others.

Yosano Akiko, who came to work in the morning, also went through the steps of re-applying for identity, so she leaned forward and asked, "Open it and have a look?"

Oda Sakunosuke picked up the file bag on the desk and handed it to Miyata Hiyori: "This is your thing, you decide for yourself."

The little girl opened the paper bag under the excited urging of a detective.

Hiyori's ID photo was impressively pasted on the special household registration paper, even though she hadn't taken one at all, and the name, place of birth, etc. were clearly printed on the side according to the specifications.

"Eh? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Luanbu said, "You're already 14 years old!"

Are you kidding me, 14 years old?Just this short and mundy figure?

"Ah."

In fact, Hiyori herself is not very clear about it. For her, there is undoubtedly a contradiction between her biological age and her actual time of existence.Countless replicas that once entered No.[-] Honmaru and exhausted their lives were all her but not her, and now they can only be counted simply from the day they opened their eyes.

However, the date recorded on the household registration information is the day when it was picked up by Oda Sakunosuke.

How did the people who made the data know?

"Okay! That's it! I'm still the boss, Oda and Yosano are the same age, but the month is a little bit cheaper... let's put Oda in second, and Xiano in third, and Xiao Hiru in fourth."

The boy interrupted her thinking, raised the soda bottle and said cheerfully: "Congratulations to the successful expansion of the detective agency, cheers!"

Others raised their water glasses to greet him: "Cheers!"

The famous detective who responded with a "hundred" was overjoyed, and took out the red bean cake at the bottom of the box from the cabinet: "One piece for each person, don't eat too much!"

Hiyori took the thick snack wrapped in plastic film from him, and cherished it so much that she even hid it in the drawer of Oda Sakunosuke's desk. Before she could think about what to say, someone knocked on the office door.

"Come with me, probably the applicant I made an appointment with yesterday, and Xiao Hiyori is about to become a senior~" Yosano Akiko walked quickly towards the gate, and the little girl followed behind her.

The wooden door was opened inward, and the people outside were still knocking on the door, but he was not the applicant.

"Mr. Kunikida?" Yosano Akiko hesitated for a moment but insisted on asking each other's name, the young man was stunned: "Sorry, I'm here to consult the commission."

"Oh oh oh, you didn't make an appointment by phone in advance, did you? It's okay, please come in." The bob-haired girl moved out of the way, pulled Rihe and told her: "Go get a notebook, a fountain pen, and tea."

The "technical work" of making tea, which requires hot water, would naturally not be entrusted to her. After brewing black tea, Oda Sakunosuke prepared a notebook and a pen, and put them together on the tray.

All Hiyori had to do was bring these things safely to the reception sofa.

"..."

The stern-faced little girl walked a little faster than a snail, trembling and dangerous.Fortunately, she finally delivered the things smoothly, and the client and Yosano Akiko were relieved at the same time.

"Please use." It was definitely not Hiyori who said this, the client glanced at her curiously, and could no longer focus on the commission with just this one glance - she is so beautiful, so beautiful that she doesn't even have a smile on her face I don't want to complain about her.

As for anyone in the service industry, there is one family that can't wait to put a standard business smile on the mask. How can there be a cat who always looks down on others, and she hasn't been laid off yet?

Just like the Son of God sitting in the hall of a temple waiting for someone to express their wishes...

"Sir, sir? What's your last name?"

Yosano Akiko interrupted his almost demented sight loudly: "May I ask what you want to entrust us to do?"

"Ah... ah, that, my surname is Honda." The young man forced his eyes away from Hiyori: "I want to ask you to help me find someone."

He took a deep breath: "Can you listen to me tell a story?"

Yosano Akiko opened the notebook and indicated that he could start: "Please."

"That was a few years ago, on the eve of the defeat, our family fled our homeland because we couldn't bear the bombing..."

The story itself is not complicated, it is nothing more than looking for the brothers lost in the war for the old man who is near the end of his life.The difficulty lies in the word "war"... Finding a certain person in a large-scale unrecorded population movement is not a job that can be completed by simply asking records and checking the information.

After listening to Honda's description, Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko asked a few more questions about the missing person's physical characteristics and behavioral habits, and finally closed the notebook: "Okay, we will reply to you within a month at the earliest. Excuse me. May I?"

"Eh? One month? Other detective agencies won't answer, or it will take a year to hear back." Honda couldn't believe it, such a big difference... Could it be that he met a liar?

But the two girls sitting in front of them... one smiled confidently, and the other was expressionless and unwavering, all in the posture of "if you want to entrust, entrust, if you don't entrust, leave to me".

"That's why the charges of the Armed Detective Agency are more expensive than others." Yosano Akiko handed him the newly printed fee standard: "Our detectives have some special methods of handling cases that are different from ordinary people."

Honda stared at the paper: "..."

Good guy, the cost is more than double that of ordinary detective agencies.

What did you do for so much money?

"You can rest assured that we are a decent institution with a record in the Metropolitan Police Department. If you can't trust it, you can decide whether to pay the fee after receiving a reply."

Usually, people who see the results of the investigation will settle the bill immediately, and there have been no accidents so far.

It turned out to be the case.

Honda thought about it for a while, and felt that everything made sense.

Why don't you entrust it to this detective agency?Anyway, I have only waited for a month, and I can refuse to pay if I am not satisfied with the result.

Ahem, it's definitely not because his family's San Wu loli is too cute!

The client hesitated for a while, and decisively decided to take advantage of this.

"Then, please, record it for me."

He couldn't help but look in the direction of Hiyori again and again, Akiko had to raise his voice again and again to ask him to read the terms of the agreement clearly, the young man blushed and said, "Sorry!"

I don't want to act like a pervert either!The question is, does such a beautiful little girl really exist?

After finally completing the agreement and signing, Akiko handed the documents to Hiyori: "Fold and organize the pages one by one."

"En." Hiyori's slow movements made the whole material look like a historical play.

She looks more like a child in the second period of middle school.Mr. Honda was dizzy and didn't know how he signed the commission, let alone how he was sent out of the office door.

He didn't wake up until the crisp sound of locks being locked behind him, and raised his hand to touch his forehead: "It's really evil."

Closing the office door, Yosano Akiko touched the top of Hiyori's head: "Like the kind of guy who always stares at you endlessly, it's polite enough to send him outside the door."

"Information, I've sorted it out." The little girl held up the entrustment agreement, which was so neat that it seemed to be integrated into one: "I'm working hard."

"Yeah! Xiao Rihe is great!" She petted Rihe a few more times like a cat: "Go get your textbooks for tutoring, I will call you if necessary."

The little girl walked away quietly, although she didn't make a sound, she could still see that her steps became more cheerful.

It was President Fukuzawa who tutored her.

This is also impossible.

In the entire armed detective agency, Oda Sakunosuke did not go to school because of social education, and Yosano Akiko joined the army because of his supernatural powers before graduating from elementary school. Edogawa Ranpo's parents died and dropped out of school within a few years. It can be said that no one can complete compulsory education.

In fact, even President Fukuzawa didn't go to school very much. He studied at a private school at home before the war.

"Read and practice calligraphy in the morning, and in the afternoon..." Mr. President pondered for a moment, then added: "Follow me to practice sword skills."

Since the doctors strongly suggested increasing her physical activity, it is better to learn some self-defense indoors when it is inconvenient to go out, so as to avoid being bullied when she grows up.

——Knife, a weapon that has existed for thousands of years with human development, Hiyori likes it very much.

As a god judge, she can feel the loyalty and respect of the men with swords and swords to their lords, and also understands their difficulties in obeying the decision of the government of the time—in the eyes of humans, even ancient swords that have been passed down for thousands of years are nothing but precious Some antiques.It may be expensive, but it is not really difficult to give up and can be thrown away at any time.

Like her, they are helpless in the face of persecution in the name of collective.

"Hmm." The little girl ran to the bookshelf with her short legs, squatted into a small ball and pulled out the first grade textbook from the bottom.

"Since you are fourteen years old, you should study one book a day for the lower grades of elementary school, and ask me if you can't learn it."

Mr. Fukuzawa flipped through the fancy textbooks and motioned for Hiyori to stand by his desk and read and memorize.

He didn't know how well a girl of this size was capable of learning, so he could only figure it out.

It took about an hour, and Fukuzawa Yukichi's lectures were so dry and dizzy that he was afraid that something would go wrong.After he finished speaking, he regretted it, worrying that the child would not understand if he talked too much.

Accidentally added too many extensions and extensions. A simple first-year student is definitely like the east wind blowing a horse's ear.

However, Miyata Hiyori was only separated from the word "independence" on purpose, and her IQ will only be higher than the expectations of the scientists who made her. In terms of knowledge, there is no such thing as "unintelligible" or "incomprehensible". "The embarrassing situation.

In order to prove that she really worked hard, she closed the textbook and memorized it from beginning to end.

After listening carefully, Fukuzawa Yukichi: "..."

I'm really curious what kind of family it is, such a child can just throw it away.

"Very good, put on loose clothes after get off work in the afternoon, and wait for me in the open space in front of the dormitory."

Mr. President realized in a trance that there might not be too many days of leisurely lecturing to his youngest daughter like this.

Is now the time to start choosing a secondary school for her?The two spirited guys I ran into yesterday on the street seemed to mention some kind of specialized school, why don't we ask Oda to check it out.

Able to see "monsters" he couldn't see?

Sigh... It's very inconvenient to do anything before the business license for the ability is issued!
