Mr. Oda and his friends

"are you ready!"

Edogawa Ranpo looked solemn: "Are you sure, it's really all right?"

Rarely has he been so insecure.

Hiyori Miyata, who was gripping the strap of his backpack tightly, swallowed, and nodded vigorously: "Sure, no problem."

"In that case..." Yosano Akiko's expression was more serious than seeing skeleton specimens running around on the ground: "That's the only way to go."

Oda Sakunosuke also frowned, with a gloomy expression: "Is it too reluctant?"

"I, I will do my best!"

The fritillary flower on the little girl's head swayed up and down dramatically with the movement, making one unable to help but worry about whether she might twist her neck.

"..."

President Fukuzawa put one hand on the saber: "It's useless to talk, let's go."

"Yes!"

Hiyori responded with a trembling voice, let go of the other hand that was holding the hem of Oda Sakunosuke's coat, and without thinking about it, stepped down the steps and walked towards the sea of ​​people alone——

"Red light! Depends on the light..."

The red-haired boy quickly pulled her back from the traffic: "Cross the road?"

"Look at the lights first, stop at a red light, go at a green light..." Rihe replied dejectedly.

"Are you too nervous? Don't be afraid, come on."

Yosano Akiko took out a small handkerchief and went up to wipe her sweat: "It's okay, it's great, at least..."

"At least [-] centimeters have been successfully marched independently." Luanbu squatted on the ground, his eyes measuring the distance were more serious than when investigating the case and reasoning.

Miyata Hiyori: "..."

Are you really praising me?

In the end, it was President Fukuzawa who turned the tide: "Don't give up halfway, continue."

"Oh."

Half discouraged, the little girl hung her head and mustered up the courage to embark on the "journey" again...

In fact, this is just an ordinary document handover job.

Starting from the Armed Detective Agency, the destination is located at the Supernatural Secret Service Division on the left side of the third floor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Office Building.According to accurate calculation by Oda Sakunosuke, it takes one hour and 13 minutes to walk on foot, and it is not recommended to use transportation for the time being.

It has been three months since President Fukuzawa applied for a "supernatural power business license". After writing numerous reports and submitting materials, the clerk of the supernatural secret service department finally called and asked the detective agency to send someone to collect the certificate.

People with different abilities are easy to become marginalized people in society because they are born different, and they are born with abilities that are different from ordinary people. After being rejected and alienated, they are easy to commit crimes.It is rare that there are a few people with different abilities who are willing to get together to do serious business. Not only have they solved quite a few old cases for the Metropolitan Police Department, but they also have the character blessing of the president Fukuzawa Yukichi for many years, and the endorsement of the "big shots" at the top Well, it barely passed the review.

It's really gratifying, congratulations, congratulations.

Don't think it's just a piece of paper.

With this piece of paper, the three currently serving members can freely use supernatural powers in public, and they will not be complained for scaring civilians.And the detective agency can finally justifiably explain to the client why the fees are so expensive...

In short, it is a good thing that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Who said that the only detective in the Armed Detective Agency is a person with different abilities?Even if it is only for the convenience of Luanbu alone, this certificate must be obtained.

The so-called half-ninety-one who travels a hundred miles, so this last step-submitting the public safety guarantee of the supernatural powers, and then bringing the supernatural business license back to the detective agency safely is a very, very important, so important that it cannot be more important. Work!

In order to successfully complete this important task, all the colleagues in the detective agency took advantage of Rihe's "special training" for three full days-recognizing maps, memorizing turns at intersections, simulating asking passers-by for directions, and so on.

And today!It is time to test the results of "special training".

In order not to delay the off-duty time of the clerk of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, Hiyor packed his small bag and prepared to set off after lunch.

Although she made a principled mistake of forgetting to look at the traffic lights at the beginning, this was the first time she went to a strange place independently, and everyone forgave this small mistake.

Regrouped and set off again, the red light at the intersection just turned green, and Hiyori walked forward in the crowd.

Crowds are like swarms of sardines in the deep sea. Even if you don't know the direction, you can follow them in a daze.The little girl ignorantly walks through the crossroads where people come and go, and everything within her sight is constantly giving her feedback——

"I'm so tired, I wish I could take a break."

"The work to be done in the afternoon is..."

"Ingredient prices have risen..."

"This month's rent..."

"What should I eat later?"

The small whispers carried fragmented emotions drifting past the ears, flowing to the unknown dark place to entangle and gather.

Hiyori was startled suddenly, and stood there blankly looking around.

The Ministry of the Interior...Where should we go?

Strictly speaking, she has never been out of the house at all, but every time she travels, she is accompanied by at least one person, and Hiyori does not need to identify the direction, let alone think about the way to go.This is the key point of this mission. She has to complete the challenge of "From Detective Agency to Ability Business Division" completely alone.

"You've lost your way!" Edogawa tore open the packing bag in random steps, touched a piece of potato chips, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them expressionlessly.

"I'm lost." Yosano Akiko reached out to fetch potato chips from Ranpo, and chewed them with a blank expression.

Oda Sakunosuke hid behind the transformer box not far ahead, and didn't even notice that the drink bottle in his hand was crushed and burst.

"What to do, I don't think it's too far before we enter the police station."

Akiko glanced at the righteous passer-by who was holding his cell phone tightly, secretly thankful that the president returned to the office to sit down.

Otherwise, in case there is no "parent" to bail them out.

Just when the red-haired boy couldn't wait any longer and wanted to "help", Hiyori suddenly moved.

After a series of repeated restarts, she finally compared the first sign on the map from her memory - the door sign of a certain store.

"Let's go! Let's keep up."

Luanbu greeted him, swaggered out of the bunker and chased after him. Before he could run away, Oda hurriedly reached out and grabbed the detective's cloak: "Slow down! If you get too close, you will be discovered."

Most importantly, Ranpo can't be lost for Hiyori's sake.

"Hey!" The boy chewed the potato chips vigorously to express his dissatisfaction.

Hiyor had no idea that there were three tails 100 meters behind her, all of them were those who insisted on letting her "work independently".

"Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of the Interior..."

The little girl who was thinking about it all had clear eyes and ignorant eyes, and many bosses standing on the side of the road soliciting business couldn't help but straighten their backs—didn't you see someone waiting for you to ask for directions?

Sorry, I was so focused that I really didn't see it.

She guided the direction according to the map she had memorized, and gradually walked out of the old block into the crowds of people in the shopping street.

There are many doors on both sides of the not-so-wide road, only a few are open for business, and most of them are closed.The most puzzling thing is that every shop that is still open is always surrounded by a few teenagers who are not too old...

what are they doing?

As she walked, she was puzzled in her heart.

It is impossible for such a good-looking girl to walk on the street without attracting attention.Especially Hiyori was alone again, looking timid and soft, like a kitten just waking up.

The fire in the hearts of the street teenagers was instantly ignited.

If you can get this girl and take it out for others to see, how beautiful it will be!

Unknowingly, more and more people followed her. In order to compete for the first chance to strike up a conversation with the little beauty, the teenagers made their little moves more and more powerful, so that the scene was in a mess.But the person they wanted to talk to but was inexplicably weak knew nothing about it, and only wanted to find the way to the office building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Armed detective agency in the first echelon: "..."

I have thought of all the plans, but I didn't expect this kind of development.

After a "fierce" battle among the teenagers, the final victor rubbed off his pained grinning expression, and stepped forward to stop Hiyori's way with unrecognizable steps: "How are you?"

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

Edogawa Ranpo: "Oh!"

Yosano Akiko: "You really have the guts!"

"?"

Being firmly blocked by someone, Hiyori had to stop and stare at the strange boy, quietly waiting for his next words.

"What's your name? Where are you going?" The boy deliberately rubbed his new hairstyle: "I'll take you there by bike!"

Miyata Hiyori looked at the rickshaw he was carrying around: "...bicycles lead people, which violates traffic regulations."

The little girl's voice was soft, neither fast nor slow, but unfortunately it wasn't the answer he wanted to hear.

"It doesn't matter, I'm riding so fast that I can't catch the rod." The boy didn't care, he rubbed his hair again, and the blue ring decoration on his wrist hit his eyes with the movement: "This whole The area is our territory, follow me, and I guarantee that no one will dare to trouble you."

"……trouble?"

What is trouble?What is asking for trouble?Hiyori didn't know.

All she knew was that she had to go to the Ministry of the Interior before the civil servants got off work.

"Oh, don't talk so much, come on. Treat you to some snacks, and other good things." He was a little impatient, seeing the girl in front of him trying to walk around him, he felt the shame-faced boy move his body Blocked the way again.

Then, he was surprised to find that the beautiful girl circled to the other side with a graceful movement that was smoother and faster than his own, and continued to move forward along the road.

In the eyes of adults, this scene is like a little peacock can't wait to show its tail feathers, but accidentally reveals its ragged buttocks, which is completely ignored by the target.In addition to being funny, there is also a trace of embarrassment, and there is not much feeling to express.

But for a boy of seventeen or eighteen, being decisively rejected by a beautiful girl is more uncomfortable than being beaten.In short, my self-esteem has been frustrated and my heart has been pierced.

To give up the opportunity so hard to grab so easily?

How can it be!

The young man was furious, and he stretched out his hand to pull Rihe's arm.

"Can this kind of thing keep him alive?" Yosano Akiko took out a hatchet in the uproar, and the other two men stopped her from left to right: "Don't be angry, Hiyori followed the president to repair Practicing swordsmanship and ancient martial arts, this bastard can't beat her!"

"It's not a question of whether you can fight or not. Aren't you afraid that Hiyori will leave a psychological shadow?"

Yoshino Akiko reluctantly resisted the urge to chop up his colleagues first and then the gangsters, pointing his hatchet at the young man who was entangled like brown sugar in the distance, and said: "I would have to give them a punch on the nose first, I'm used to them! "
