Mr. Oda and his friends

"Eh?"

Oda Sakunosuke took out the key from his pocket, and before he put it in the keyhole, Hiyori yawned and said he was sleepy.He thought it was because the little girl couldn't bear to stay up late, so he hurriedly opened the door of the dormitory two or three times, and urged her to wash up while changing her slippers: "I'm sleepy...you can wake up later tomorrow morning."

The employees who were on duty the first day had a rest in the morning the next day. This is the old rule of the detective agency. Although Hiyori is not a member of the agency, he still sticks to it for half the night anyway. Of course he is in this ranks.

The little girl "chucked" into the bathroom with half-closed eyes, and her movements were so fast that one wondered how she knew the way.

"Ok?"

Only then did he realize that Hiyori didn't want to make up lessons.

I don't know whether what she doesn't want is to make up lessons, or whether Ango Sakaguchi will come to make up lessons.

Tired of studying?

Oda Sakunosuke doesn't necessarily want Hiyori to achieve outstanding academic achievements, it's just... such a good talent, it's a pity to waste it.

If you just hate math...

He tilted his head and thought about it, and quickly put the matter aside.

——If you don’t like it, don’t force it. It’s not a subject that you can learn well just by being determined.

Anyway, he couldn't read it.

The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom, and Oda Sakunosuke changed his posture against the wall and continued to think.

What if Hiyori didn't hate mathematics, but Ango Sakaguchi?

It’s not impossible to turn around and think about it, but Ango’s complaints are always so sharp, precise and fast.

But, don't worry too much about this.

It's really because Hiyori is a good boy who can't be more broad-minded.Maybe she will be unhappy because of some things, and express her unhappiness to the fullest, but this kind of "unhappiness" usually does not last for more than two hours.

Moreover, if a lollipop is paid in time, this time limit can be greatly shortened again.So... at the latest before lunch tomorrow, the bad impression Ango left on Hiyori will disappear without a trace.

Just as he was lost in thought, the bathroom door opened, and Hiyori came out with wet hair and bare feet—wearing a blue-and-white lamb pajamas: "Sakunosuke, I'm hungry."

"Oh, have you brushed your teeth yet?"

Oda Sakunosuke propped himself up from the ground, grabbed the key and walked out: "I'll buy you some rice balls, remember to brush your teeth after eating."

It's too late, rattling things in the kitchen is not a good choice, Yosano Akiko who can't sleep well is scarier than Zombie Greymon.

To be honest, he was also a little hungry.

Waking up before noon the next day, Hiyori really forgave Ango Sakaguchi's heinous crime of "not letting her cling to Sakunosuke Oda". When he heard about the tutoring plan for science courses again, he only nodded silently, and did not continue to pretend not to hear.

Mr. Sakaguchi's tutoring time is arranged at 06:30 in the afternoon. Someone can take this opportunity to get off work on time. It is hard to say whether it is a hidden "benefit".

No matter how you think about facing soft and well-behaved cute girls, it is more pleasing to the eye than facing a group of black-clothed and bald men.

After eating the combined breakfast and lunch, Hiyori tugged on Oda Sakunosuke's sleeve and followed him to the office of the Armed Detective Agency.

As soon as he entered the door, the space was filled with a strange and terrifying atmosphere.

It was really scary, Yosano Akiko was releasing a steady stream of black mist from behind, and it was so thick that it was almost transformed into a "monster" that Hiyori didn't like.

Oda Sakunosuke maintained the movement of opening the door, and slowly withdrew his hand, trying to wait for the wooden door to automatically rebound and close.

Could it be that she really quarreled with her last night?

"How long are you going to stand outside and block the door?" Yu Xieye Akiko yelled unkindly: "Hurry up and come in."

After she finished speaking, she saw the wooden door of the office being pushed open again, one big one and one small one raised their heads carefully to look into the room: "En!"

Soon, Oda Sakunosuke blocked Hiyori behind him and walked sideways to the workstation: "Um... what happened? Are you in a bad mood?"

"It's terrible." Yosano Akiko pushed back her forehead hair and said angrily: "Last night, the old leader of PortMafia died."

It stands to reason that this should be a happy news that is worthy of universal celebration. If this is the case, no matter what, Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko should not have this expression.

Oda Sakunosuke carefully asked: "So... the new leader is not a thing?"

"That's right!" She snapped her fingers, and confirmed through gritted teeth in Hiyori's ignorant eyes: "That's a perverted thing that's embarrassing."

It seems that this is a victim. Reminiscent of the experience with Yosano Akiko in the nursing home, Oda Sakunosuke shut his mouth and remained silent.

"However... PortMafia's changes will be bigger and faster than before."

After finally kicking over the stumbling block, that guy will definitely push forward the concept arbitrarily and vigorously, regardless of whether others want it or not.

After all, he was once a well-known young genius in the system.Capable and more ambitious.

"If that person becomes the new leader, Yokohama will usher in a relatively stable tomorrow after surviving the bloody storm."

It's just this severe labor pain, I don't know how many lives will be eliminated.

It sounds like an ambitious man of action, but for Oda Sakunosuke who does not plan to change jobs, whether PortMafia changes its leader has nothing to do with him.

As the saying goes, the inside must be settled first, the leader will definitely appease, suppress, and purge the members of the organization as soon as possible, and wait for him to free up... That is also a confrontation between major social groups, and he will wash his hands in a golden basin What's the deal with a former member of a detective agency?

Yosano Akiko fully understood what kind of thoughts were running in the brain of this Buddhist colleague, she squeezed out a strange smile of mockery and disgust: "That person doesn't care about human life, everyone's life is precious in his eyes The weight of the transaction, as long as the ultimate benefit is maximized, it doesn't matter which one is sacrificed."

"That's it... It seems that work is going to get busier and busier."

Oda Sakunosuke's focus has never been disappointing, and Yosano Akiko's wry smile gradually turned into helplessness: "It's not bad that you can think so."

It is the safety issue after Hiyori enrolls...

Locators, alarms, mobile phones, self-defense equipment, all ready in advance!Including sword skills, ancient martial arts, and self-defense. With her personality, it is unlikely to develop in the direction of "arming", but it seems a good idea to shift the focus to escape and survival.

Fortunately, she is not a person with supernatural powers, even if she can see some strange things, she is still a sticky dumpling in essence.As long as Hiyori can protect herself well, no one expects her to fight the enemy.

——That is simply smashing a mouse with a jade vase, which cannot be simply described as a waste of money.

The two sighed and put aside the fact that PortMafia had changed to a new leader. After all, they were full members of the legal organization, and they should be more concerned about the work that had been assigned to them.

Not long after the office was quiet, the wooden door was pushed open again. Fukuzawa Yukichi walked in front, and Edogawa Ranpo followed behind him: "Everyone, I'm back~"

"Oh! Ranpo-san, you finally came back from Atami, you have worked hard!"

Yosano Akiko's expression was much better than before, the squinted detective chuckled and threw a paper bag on her table: "Yes, yes, the famous detective knows that you must miss me so much, so I brought a paper bag specially for her." Special hot spring steamed buns come back as souvenirs, it’s interesting!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ranpo." Oda Sakunosuke, who also received the paper bag, stood up and thanked him solemnly, making Edogawa Ranpo so happy: "Hahahahahahahaha! That's it! Keep up the admiration and respect for the famous detective."

He intentionally paused for a few seconds to create a sense of mystery, but he couldn't help but hand over his hole card first: "After all, the famous detective will soon be upgraded from a treasure of the country to a treasure of the world!"

"That's really congratulations!" Oda Sakunosuke opened his mouth without even thinking about it, and there was a string of compliments, Edogawa Ranpo raised both hands in the shape of rabbit ears and put them on both sides of his forehead: "Yeah! Let's cheer in advance!"

The only one who responded to him was Hiyori who also raised his hand for bunny ears, and the others were too busy suppressing their laughter to look at the president.

Fukuzawa Yukichi has long been used to the childishness of his adopted son, so he didn't hold back immediately, and directly announced the reason: "M country sent an invitation letter to Ranbu, inviting him to participate in the reasoning competition."

"So that's the case, no wonder, no matter how you look at it, Mr. Ranpo must be the detective who won the top spot. It seems that it's time to order the cake for celebration."

Holding arms with Akiko Yosano and rubbing her chin, her tone was firm.

It doesn't matter, Edogawa Ranpo will celebrate when he wins, and he can comfort him with cake when he loses, anyway, it won't be useless.

Looking at the two "little friends" who got together to compare their ears with rabbits, Fukuzawa Yukichi continued: "Leave next week, come back before the setsubun, just in time for Hiyori's school opening ceremony. Then..."

"We need to determine who will stay behind."

Can't Edogawa go abroad to participate in exchange competitions, and the detective agency will close down?What about cooperation with the Metropolitan Police Department?

Yosano Akiko definitely can't leave Yokohama easily, even if she thinks about it, the Supernatural Secret Service Division will pay close attention to it.She can only keep the housekeeper, so at least one more person must be left to protect her and take care of the entrusted tasks.

The only candidate is Oda Sakunosuke.

It's not that President Fukuzawa can't protect Yosano Akiko, the problem is that he stayed in Yokohama, and Edogawa Ranpo was in country M, but he withdrew the bridle and no one could control him. No one saw that he could come from North America by himself. The continent lost its way to the Antarctic.

Don't ask why, because a detective is omnipotent.

In the end, there was only Hiyori's arrangement left - Fukuzawa Yukichi wanted to take her abroad to learn more, but this little girl didn't care much about anything except Oda Sakunosuke.

Didn't you see that she still has to hide in the red-haired boy's closet and refuse to leave?

There are a lot of vacant rooms in the apartment-style staff dormitory on the upper and lower floors!

In other words, if it hadn't been confirmed early on that Oda Sakunosuke's nature is honest and honest, I'm afraid he would have become a learning tool for Ms. Yosano.
