Mr. Oda and his friends

After finally seeing off the guests who came from Tokyo, Oda Sakunosuke took Hiyori back to the office of the Armed Detective Agency.It's just a small meeting that doesn't have a major impact on the detectives' day-to-day work.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw President Fukuzawa, who was theoretically supposed to go out at this time, sitting on the reception sofa, with a new cup of tea in front of him.

"Hiyo, come and sit down."

He gently called the little girl to come closer, and motioned her to sit on the sofa opposite.

Since the child rejected the invitation of the Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Magic and Magic, regarding the school... the only option left is the principle of proximity.

"Look at this school." Fukuzawa Yukichi handed out an A4 paper, and Hiyori took it with both hands: "RS..."

"Well, it's a private high school closest to the detective agency. The school rules are loose, and the enrollment rate is fairly high, compared to other more leisurely schools."

Holding a teacup, he briefly explained that Hiyori carefully consulted the map while listening. It only took six stops from the detective agency to the high school by bus, and it couldn't be any closer.

The reason why RS Middle School can become the first choice is of course the most important factor is the close distance. The relaxed atmosphere and clean school spirit are also more suitable for Hiyori's personality...that can't be described as "normal" at all.

Sakunosuke Oda followed responsibly and glanced at the paper. The total cost on the leaflet made him dizzy and weak.It can't be said that the price is ridiculously expensive, but for an ordinary teenager, it is really, ahem, unaffordable.

If you don't go back to your old business, you will definitely not be able to afford it.

"President..."

He wanted to say that he would not have to receive his salary from now on, Fukuzawa Yukichi raised a hand to stop him from saying what he hadn't said.

"Hiyori, recently you have processed some data within your capacity, is that right?"

This is Fukuzawa Yukichi's consistent style of not interfering too much with the work that the members are handling. But the report... he still needs to read it.

The little girl sat upright subconsciously: "Yes, everyone is very busy."

President Fukuzawa nodded slightly after hearing this: "Then, I will leave this matter to you from now on. It is very important. If no one handles it, the work of the detective agency will not be able to continue after it accumulates to a certain extent. Do you understand? "

"it is good!"

The eyes of the little girl who was entrusted with the "heavy" task lit up several times: "I won't let you down!"

The task of reviewing the task report was taken over happily by Hiyori. Of course, Mr. Fukuzawa's ultimate goal was to let her complete the follow-up of this work-document handover.

In this way, not only can Hiyori gain contact with the outside world, but the detectives can also be freed from paper work and have more time to take over commissions... Of course, the "half" of the clerks will not be paid.

It's not that Fukuzawa Yukichi is so stingy that he deducts the salary of "child labor". First, this "pocket money" is useless at present;

Whether it is the concept of "transaction" or the concept of "support", she does not have it.It is a matter of course to accept everything with peace of mind.

How can there be a free lunch in this world?Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't want to raise this child into an appearance of relying on others for everything, and of course he didn't want to pamper her to such an extent that she didn't know what to do.

Therefore, this salary can only be temporarily kept by the guardian for her.Part of it is used to pay Hiyori's tuition, and the other part will be returned to her for free use in the future.

At present, Miyata Hiyori is still a very serious "partial science", a little girl who can be described as "naive and ignorant of world affairs"——

——Learning knowledge from books is only a small aspect of human activities, and more areas are still waiting to be explored.

This is also the main reason why President Fukuzawa agreed to have an interview with Noctua Masamune.

There is no place more suitable for a little girl to gradually integrate into the group than a semi-open campus.Just like wild animal cubs rescued by human kindness, in order to allow them to return to nature, step-by-step wild training is essential.In the same way, in order for Miyata Hiyori to survive as an independent person, teaching her how to adapt to the group is much more complicated and important than recognizing a few words and counting a few numbers.

Entering school to study and getting in touch with social activities are all ways to achieve your goals.

As for how she was cultivated to have such a temperament that she couldn't live without being taken care of, no one in the detective agency wanted to continue to explore.

According to Oda Sakunosuke's description, at the beginning Hiyori's daily life could not be separated from the hands of the staff at all, and she couldn't even wear clothes.Not only that, no gender awareness, no self-protection, blind trust in others... In order to prevent her from being violated because of her natural appearance at a young age, he had to keep her at home.

If it weren't for the hard work of delivering goods to the fish shop, maybe he would take her with him 24 hours a day.

In other words, at that time, Hiyori lived in a slum like a domesticated animal, without contact with the outside world all day long.

"I know it's not good, but I don't know what to do, so I decided to find a job for a change..."

When talking about this, Oda was so ashamed that he almost got under the table.He himself is just a slut. If he didn't have supernatural powers, he would probably be at the same level as the tramp under the bridge.br/>

Because of [Seamless Clothes], he has the ability to step into the dark side of the world and compete with his "comrades" for the right to survival, and barely get some legacy from his predecessors in the day-to-day struggle.

He can read and count, and he has completed his "study" by piecing together.

For a 16-year-old boy who was born and raised in such an environment to take on the responsibility of raising and educating him... Even Yosano Akiko couldn't blame him for what he did to Hiyori.

He could have turned away as if he hadn't seen anything, or sold Miyata Hiyori, a beautiful kid who was ignorant even if he was spoiled.But he didn't, even if the broker doubled the price without an upper limit, he didn't.Not only did Oda Sakunosuke not do those things that would be of great benefit to him, but he took the "burden" back to the small house, and even tried every means to protect her, educate her, and take the risk of finding a job in order to better guide her...

It has to be said that the connection between a person's essence and his origin and family background is not as deep as people think.

On that rainy day when the target of the mission was killed, the teenager who was stranded not far from the scene of the crime took a book from the shelf of the coffee shop, and then everything changed.

"Since then, I have had a wish to be a family. But if I want to be a family and write a different life, I can no longer do things that plunder people's lives. So I will not kill people no matter what. Soon, I will I found Hiyori."

Raising this child well, can it dilute the thick blood stained on both hands?

——A young man with a bit of fatalism in his bones, it was based on this unbelievable and simple idea that he kindly took Sunhe away from the dangerous area at first.

As for the fact that "good heart" was sticking to his hand and couldn't be shaken off...he just sighed, and after he sighed, he continued to actively think of ways to make money to support the little girl.

So the blame is really not on Oda Sakunosuke's head, the one responsible for this is the person who brought Miyata Hiyori into this world.

"Since you have no opinion on the above two matters, the conversation ends here."

President Fukuzawa drank the tea that was still warm, got up with his sleeves folded, and seemed to be planning to go out.

"Please, Hiyori~"

Edogawa Ranpo jumped up to cheer at the right time, happily photographing the materials on Oda Sakunosuke's desk.

As a thank you, he picked another purple glass ball from his new collection and put it next to the paper material: "It's beautiful! I wouldn't give this away to ordinary people! Here it is for you, this... um... means Encouragement and appreciation from seniors!"

The corner of Fukuzawa Yukichi's mouth was curved upwards a bit, he didn't say anything, just watched the young people communicate silently.

Hiyori walked over, lowered his body on the table and turned his head sideways, looking out of the window through the purple glass ball, and the pure white clouds like sheep were dyed a layer of pure and thorough purple.She nodded while watching: "It's so beautiful!"

The little girl stretched out a finger and gently pushed the glass ball to roll, and the light spots refracted on the wall dangled back and forth.

"Hey hey hey! Well, I'm going out with the president. If you get an important job, you have to be good!" The older child pretended to be mature and educated the younger child, no matter how he looked, he looked like an older cat. The claw rests on the head of the smaller cat.

As soon as Ranpo said this, Hiyori immediately stood up straight and said that he had received the "order".Not only did she express with her actions that she would work obediently, but she also reminded her: "Dough snacks, and water, have you brought it?"

The boy who was bouncing and touching the doorknob was stunned: "Huh?"

I seem to... heard correctly?

The girl who seems to be isolated from the world knows how to care about others?

"Great job!" Oda Sakunosuke woke up from his contemplation, and touched the top of the little girl's head: "Can I ask Hiyori to find Mr. Ranpo's backpack?"

"Okay!" As expected, she took out a brown shoulder bag from the staff cabinet and handed it to Edogawa Ranpo: "Here!"

"Ah... oh..."

The detective's eyes widened in fright, and he hurriedly stuck behind President Fukuzawa and ran out.

Yosano Akiko poked her head out from behind the bookshelf, smiled and mouthed "nice job" to Hiyori.

——It is not common for famous detectives to be shy. Of course, there are "famous teachers" hiding behind the scenes to give advice.

Ten minutes later, Ranpo Edogawa on the tram slowed down from the shock, and his swaying calf suddenly stopped: "Yosano must have taught Xiao Hiyori to do this on purpose! Just to see the famous detective get scared look, hum!"

"Ah."

Mr. Fukuzawa, who doesn't mess around with the children, put him off, and the boy talked to himself and designed countless "revenge" plans to go back. When the train slowed down and was about to enter the station, he overturned those plans one by one, and finally patted his belly Sigh: "Who makes a famous detective generous and kind?"

"Forgive them this time."

The shaking frequency of the calf became cheerful again.

Fukuzawa Yukichi lowered his eyelids, warmth appeared on his face again.
