Mr. Oda and his friends

In the early morning, Oda Sakunosuke was woken up by the sound of small friction coming from the closet.Wrapped in the quilt, the boy turned over and opened his eyes after a few seconds.

Under normal circumstances, he wakes up earlier than Miyata Hiyori. After waking up and washing up, he is busy making breakfast, preparing lunch for the day, filling her water glass, checking her homework to avoid forgetting... etc. .

But today, it was rare for Rihe to wake up in front.

This is not to say that Hiyori is lazy, but as long as she stays with Oda Sakunosuke, she can sleep peacefully, greedy and sweet.

"Help!"

With the sound of sliding doors, the little girl with shawl hair jumped out of the closet: "Give me a present!"

"Oh, thank you, let me take a look..."

Oda Sakunosuke hurriedly turned over and sat up from the quilt, caught Hiyori who had no gender awareness until now with one hand, and took the exquisitely packaged triangular cone-shaped carton from her hand.

Her aesthetic style tends to be more retro and subtle, and the packaging boxes she chooses are more suitable for pastry paper in the traditional sense.Mount Fuji, pine trees, white cranes, waves...how should I put it?Everything is perfect except that it is not obvious that this is a girl's work.

He opened the carton under Hiyori's expectant eyes, and five chocolates rolled out with fat stomachs, round round but with a small sharp corner.

These chocolates are wrapped in gold and silver aluminum foil. As far as the appearance is concerned, each of them has a naive look. When it is a perfect replica of the X bought in the convenience store, you don't know how it tastes.

Or... eat it when you go to work?

——If you have any adverse reactions after eating it, you can ask Yosano Akiko for help nearby.

Even though the wrapping paper of the chocolate has not been opened, the sweetness has already entered the heart from the mouth. As for the real taste of this thing, it is not important.

"Very, very cute."

Oda Sakunosuke spoke highly of it cautiously, and Hiyori let go of him happily: "Yesterday, I made it at school, and I left the biggest five for you!"

The red-haired boy rubbed her hair: "Okay, thank you very much, but it's time to get up and wash up."

"Good~"

Hiyori jumped into the bathroom, and by the time she came out again, breakfast was almost ready.

"Sakunosuke, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be right back for breakfast!"

She left a sentence, opened the door and ran into the corridor wearing slippers.

Edogawa Ranpo muttered and Wadayama Hanabou screamed one after another, Oda Sakunosuke stared at the miso soup on the stove, and couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Compared with the cold and ignorant appearance when we first met half a year ago, Hiyori has grown up really fast.

After breakfast, Hiyori made a special trip to the office before rushing to school. The small box containing chocolates was hung on the doorknob of the president's office. Mr. Fukuzawa was in a particularly good mood this morning.

"Nozaki, chocolate."

Looking at the small box handed in front of him, Nozaki Umetaro did not expect to get Giri chocolate from Miyata Hiyori, who seemed to be out of his mind.

This guy actually knows about February [-]th?

"Thank you." He took the carton and opened it. A round belly, chocolate wrapped in golden aluminum foil looked inexplicably pitiful alone.

No... On this special day, give a male friend "a piece" of chocolate. May I ask how did you come up with this wonderful ironic idea, Ms. Miyata Hikazu?

——Hyori calculated very clearly that Oda Sakunosuke had the largest share, followed by Mr. Fukuzawa and Mr. Noctuga, and then Mr. Ranpo, Mr. Sakaguchi, Chuya Nakahara, Natsuyu and Gojo.As for Nozaki Umetaro and Oba Yozo, who I met relatively late, they are all treated as one.

On the same level as PortMafia's youngest quasi-manager, Mr. Yumeno Sakiko deserves to be included in the painting.

There was no change in expression on the boy's face. He peeled off the wrapping paper and stuffed the chocolate into his mouth: "Huh? This grainy texture is... hazelnut?"

Although there is only one, the taste is really good, far exceeding expectations.Kneading the wrapping paper into a ball and throwing it into the belly of the desk, Umetaro Nozaki made a serious request: "Can you tell me your recipe and production steps?"

This year's Valentine's Day supplement has been late, but next year will definitely be fine!

"Just..." Hiyori tilted his head and recalled telling the order of yesterday's production one by one. Nozaki Umetaro was very satisfied: "I will return the gift next month. What do you like?"

Since we are ordinary friends who don't care about each other, it's easier to communicate. Of course, you have to choose something that others like, right?

Hiyori thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.

What she has now is a richness that she never even thought about before, how can she be dissatisfied?

"It seems that you and your family have a very harmonious relationship, Miyata."

Only happy children struggle with gift choices.

Umetarou Nozaki waited until school was over but didn’t get an answer. When the bell rang, seeing Hiyori pick up his schoolbag and leave, he couldn’t help reminding her: "Your club activities this week...?"

"I'm asking for leave, I want to send out all the chocolates."

The script is not yet ready, and the members are still busy making props, costumes and backgrounds. These can be completed after returning home. Naturally, Senior Hori will not embarrass the mascot on February [-]th.

Especially at this time when Miyata has not been discovered by Kashima, trying to isolate the two of them is the only responsibility Senior Hori can take on for his junior.

After listening to Hiyori's explanation, Nozaki Umetaro pondered for a moment: "Miyata, do you know many people outside the school?"

Suzuki-kun, the future is worrying!

"Yes." Hiyori replied honestly: "Some are clients of the detective agency, some are collaborators of the detective agency, and some are informants of the detective agency."

"Oh, so, does it have something to do with part-time work..."

Before Nozaki Umetaro could ask another question, Hiyori picked up his schoolbag and ran quickly, quickly disappearing at the school gate.Although I have greeted Sakunosuke in advance, I still can't go home too late!

Chinatown.

Ever since he got acquainted with Chuya Nakahara, an orange-haired boy from Leibo Street, Hiyori always pays attention to his whereabouts when passing by Chinatown one or two days a week.Or going out to work or other activities, if you are lucky, you can meet two or three times in a month, and Chinatown is not far from the detective agency. Everyone knows that she has a kid who knows a good character outside.

Hiyori's luck is very good today. From a distance, I can see clusters of orange red under the magnificent tall archway.

"Gift, here it is."

The small paper box with cute stickers was brought to him, and Nakahara Zhong also reacted before realizing what it was: "Ah, ah? For me?"

It's not that he didn't receive a gift on this day, but he really, really didn't expect to receive it from his relatives.

That's right, the younger boys seem to regard Hiyori as a "relative", and they are still the kind that need special attention and care.I don't know how he decided on this point, leaving common sense and logic behind him and ignoring it.

"Just learned it yesterday."

Hiyori would never say any modest words like "please forgive me for poor craftsmanship".

Zhongyuan Zhong also held the box to his ear and shook it. The sound of clattering sounded like two balls rolling and colliding inside.

"Haha! Let me see."

As he spoke, he opened the carton in twos and twos, and poured out two round chocolate balls, one gold and one silver.

"It looks pretty good, you can."

It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not, what matters is that she remembers him.

The boy picked up the chocolate ball wrapped in golden aluminum foil, and carefully observed it repeatedly as if he was holding the same volume of gold: "What does it taste like?"

"Milk? But I wrapped a nut in it."

Before that, Hiyori herself never thought that there would be a day when her culinary skills could shine, otherwise she wouldn't concentrate on stealing raw materials...

If you eat everything, you don’t need to do it, and if you don’t do it, you won’t fail, perfect!

Zhongyuan Zhong also peeled off the aluminum foil happily and threw the chocolate ball into his mouth to chew: "It's delicious, it's not the kind of weird taste that makes people toothache."

"I feel so too."

Hiyori sipped a small smile: "I will continue to work hard next year."

"Then I'll be waiting for your masterpiece next year!"

The orange-haired boy's cobalt blue eyes sparkled: "Maybe next year I'll be able to find 'that', and recall those forgotten memories..."

"Which one?"

She didn't even want to blurt it out, Zhong Yuanzhong also looked over in a daze: "Huang Ba spit, have you heard of it?"

"... Rage God?"

Other gods may not know that the title of "Desolate God", Kong Chan, the former god judge who has been a guest of "Human God" for so many years, is very popular.

Rebellious, rebellious, brave and savage, a god who has no relationship with peace and stability.It is often used by the great witch and put together with the time-traveling army, and it appears in different rhetoric of "admonishing" the gods according to the needs.

To put it simply, it is basically the same as the "big bad wolf" that ordinary mothers use to scare children.

"Do you believe that there are gods in the world?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also didn't expect to get clues about Huang Ba's vomiting from Hiyori here - the explosion happened on Leibo Street, how could he get the answer by asking a person who lived outside Leibo Street?

He just talked about it, but he didn't expect the topic to suddenly shift to the field of metaphysics.

Hiyori didn't notice the strangeness in his voice, and nodded honestly: "I believe it, is it strange that there are gods in the world?"

Isn’t this a coincidence? Aren’t human gods gods?

"...It doesn't seem strange?"

The boy who forgot that he was the carrier of the Rage God scratched the back of his head: "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't figure out what is wrong. Forget it, should you go back to the detective agency? I'll see you off."

This delivery was delivered nearby, and he didn't want to meet her adopter.

Unexpectedly, Hiyori shook his head: "No, I still have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Tsurumi River."

Mr. Sakaguchi must be working in the office at this time. As for Tsurumigawa... she didn't know where to find Ohba Yozo who was kidnapped by the "human traffickers", so she had to send the chocolates to the place where he was separated from him in the end.

Zhongyuan Zhong also was even more reluctant to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He put down his hand scratching the back of his head: "Aren't you working part-time all the time? Hurry up and buy a mobile phone. Call me if you are in danger. Count ten and you will definitely arrive."

"I can't arrive in ten seconds, what if I or you are not in Yokohama?"

With Hiyori's straightforwardness, it is really difficult for her to understand the definition of "approximate number".

Zhong Yuanzhong also blushed: "I said I can get there if I can, so stop talking!"

"..." Hiyori scolded him with "how can you be so unreasonable" eyes, seeing the young man as uncomfortable as if he had thorns all over his body.

"In short, if you meet a bad guy, you can hit them if you can beat them, run if you can't beat them, and report my name if you can't run away... I mean, within the scope of Yokohama."

If you add a range, you won't be afraid that the cowhide will be blown, hehehehe!
