Mr. Oda and his friends

Yokohama.

Armed Detective Agency.

"Well... not too good!"

Edogawa frowned, stared at the limp human cub in front of him and sighed, Tianshan Hanabu hid in the tea room with only half of his face exposed on the partition wall, peeping, saw Yosano Akiko coming out of the treatment room when he heard the movement, and then retracted shrunk.As for Yosano Akiko, she was in a state of silencing her words and wanting to speak.

The toddler, who was stared at by everyone, was wearing a pink skirt, eating his fingers sweetly.

Sitting behind the cub was the sad-faced Sakunosuke Oda.

This little ancestor cried until it was time to go to bed, and he couldn't be coaxed well. His dark circles were almost comparable to the panda in the photo yesterday!

The famous detective poured out more than half of the bottle of Bozi soda in one breath, and put the glass bottle on the table with a "dang" sound: "Oda, I only want you to think hypothetically, and I don't want you to actually adopt another one." The child came back to compare..."

"No, I didn't..." Oda Sakunosuke opened his mouth to defend, not giving the red-haired youth a chance to explain, and joined the battle with Yosano Akiko arm in arm: "Xiao Hiyori still expects you to pick her back."

The only child came home from college and discovered that her parents secretly gave birth to a younger sister...

Probably something like this scenario?

"Then I'll pick up Rihe first..."

Oda Sakunosuke got up and wanted to go out, Edogawa ranpo drank the remaining half bottle of soda: "Stand still. We have to wait another two weeks to pick up the person... let's not talk about this, have you considered Xiao Hiyori?" Are you in a good mood? And, with your own financial situation, can you afford the cost of raising this child?"

We all know how difficult this guy was when he came to apply for a job with him. The two of them together couldn't fit half a closet of their personal belongings.

After all, Miyata Hiyori was only raised at home by him for half a year. After he came to the detective agency, he was more generously subsidized by the president—is it difficult to recruit a full-time clerk?

Even in this situation, Hiyori's tuition and living expenses can barely be afforded, let alone adopting another little guy who is still wrapped in diapers.

Anyway, Hiyori can support herself now, what about this child?At least ten years of pure expenditure, regardless of energy or economy, are issues that must be carefully considered.Although Luanbu's words sound a bit heart-wrenching, they also clearly point out the center of the contradiction.

Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a moment, realizing that if he didn't give a convincing answer, he would never get through this, he sighed and explained: "Hiyo... doesn't need me anymore. She has a better life, Right? I am proud of her, and at the same time very, happy. Compared to her who no longer needs me, Saki Le is still young, and her parents died suddenly. After a few days of investigation, no one among relatives is willing to adopt this child... "

The young man's tone was calm and his speed was slow, as if he had made up his mind and was thinking about it.The conversation was quickly overtaken by someone: "It can be sent to an orphanage. As the adopters, we have the right to visit her regularly until she is adopted."

Yosano Akiko patted the child's head pitifully, Saku Le raised his face and smiled at her with ragged millet teeth.

"Ugh……"

What's wrong with the child?

Everyone here has an account of where the orphanage is, but any child who has a way will not be sent there easily.

Especially in Yokohama at the moment, the virtue of chaos directly affects the local fiscal revenue, and this kind of non-profit organization that is usually ignored is the first target to be cut out of funds.

Looking at the naive human cub in front of him, he walked in a serious manner for 3 minutes and then worried together: "Everyone can help with the maintenance expenses. But, Oda, what have you been thinking these days?"

I'm telling you to quickly think clearly that what you're thinking about Hiyori is not father and daughter siblings, and I'm not telling you to lie flat on this issue until you run away and then go out and pick up another one to raise.The justifiable father is sitting in the president's office, what kind of big cloves are you!

"Eh?"

The wind of the conversation turned a little fast, and Oda Sakunosuke didn't react.After being obviously stunned for a moment, he finally found his voice: "I think Hiyori might like to play with boys who should be better than me."

The setting sun shone on his rust-colored hair, making people mistakenly think it was a gentle deep chestnut.The young man was sitting upright, counting the good points of others, as if he was only filled with relief and joy: "Since I went to Tokyo, Hiyori's voice sounds much more lively than before. Whether it is Wujo or summer oil, they are all very fashionable. As for me, I can't say humorous words, and I often don't realize Hiyori's needs. And they all have a bright and beautiful future, unlike me, who carry a past with blood on my hands, and am terrified every day. "

As for the topic of "can't afford it", which hurts a man's self-esteem, he chose to shut up.

"Forehead……"

Edogawa Ranpo was at a loss for words.

It seems that Oda Sakunosuke is really thinking about Hiyori's sake seriously, but the problem lies in the word "replacement". It seems that the plot is going to be tilted in the direction of thunder and dog blood.

"At least you're a good person now, Oda."

At this time, what else can I do besides issuing a good person card?A detective bent his shoulders and put the glass bottle of Bozi soda down, pushing it all over the table: "Although saying 'last resort' is not an excuse to shirk responsibility, it is already commendable that you can think of repaying it as soon as you are able. Don't burden yourself too much."

This means that after leaving the circle of killers, Oda really changed his mind. Not only did he never kill anyone again, but he was the first to sign up for volunteer labor in the community, and he contributed his work and efforts.

Humans, ruled by inertia, simply cannot do this without sufficient motivation.It's just that some people's motivation comes from belief, and some people's motivation, like Oda Sakunosuke, comes from reflection on the past.

"It will bring misfortune to Hiyori, people like me. The soil grows beautiful flowers, not to keep the flowers for myself. I will rot like the soil and nourish beautiful things."

I couldn't sleep peacefully for several nights in a row, and my mind was full of Miyata Hiyori.The more I think about it, the more I feel that the distance between him and her is as far as a dimensional wall. It seems intimate, but in reality it is elusive.

Sometimes he would even wake up in the middle of the night, recalling all the past in his dreams, and even the evening wind could not blow away the bloody smell lingering around him.

Do you want to touch the pure white and innocent Hiyori with such a hand?She hangs high in his heart like an ideal in the world, and sometimes he has the illusion that the moon is in his arms—a person like me is also qualified to hold the moon in his palm...Will it dirty her?

"It would be great to see Rihe live a safe and happy life with my own eyes. For me, this is the greatest reward."

He lowered his eyes, not wanting others to see the disappointed expression on his face.

——I'm afraid I can't give her the best things in the world.

The problem got bigger.

Edogawa Ranpo, look at Yosano Akiko, and Yosano Akiko, look at Edogawa Ranpo.

How to do?

This guy Oda seems to have figured it out, but he doesn't seem to understand it.This can't be said to be like, this fucking has already liked to the point of death!And then you kid actually came up with a "as long as she can live well"?

No, Oda Sakunosuke, what's going on!

Neither of them knew what to say.

Make complaints, this occasion is not suitable; preach, this person is obviously immersed in his own small world and doesn't listen at all; let him go... fall!The first time I ate melon, I encountered a boring melon who was so aggrieved to death. When did our armed detective agency suffer from this kind of loss.

Tianshan Huadai looked left and right, felt that he was out of place with this scene, and tried to retreat into the tea room wrapped in a quilt.This small movement woke up the detective and the social doctor who were looking at each other. They turned their heads and sighed in disorder. After some hesitation, Akiko still couldn't hold back: "Oda, you have thought so much, but you have never thought about what Hiyori really wants. ?"

"When I was young, I hoped that one day I would wake up and see my parents to pick me up and leave the orphanage. Later, I hoped that there would be fewer stones in the meals provided by the orphanage. Later, I hoped that I could Escaping from there... just like that, what I want keeps changing and never settles down."

Oda Sakunosuke's voice became lower and lower: "It will be the same for Hiyori. In the past, she was only restricted by the environment and could not be free. As her knowledge becomes wider, her ability becomes greater, and her wishes will also change."

"Sorry, I have to buy milk powder and bottles for Xiaole, as well as adoption procedures, and rent a house outside to settle down for Xiaole. During this time, she always cries a few times at night, which affects everyone's rest, I'm sorry."

The red-haired young man picked up the sand-colored coat and opened the door with rare strength. He took away with him the toddler who spit bubbles after eating enough fingers and played with him.

Look at Yosano Akiko, Edogawa Ranpo, and Edogawa Ranpo, look at Yosano Akiko.

"I'm not reconciled! The famous detective is not reconciled ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Luanbu clasped his head in his hands and was mad: "Why! What did Oda do? Can it still work? Is it true that childhood sweethearts lost to heaven?"

"Hey, this topic is not for you."

Yosano Akiko thoughtfully tore a lollipop for him and stuffed it: "Don't look at Oda's categorical words now, when Hiyori comes back and shed tears, this guy will definitely forget everything he said in an instant."

As long as it's not that the heart has its own name and the grass has its own owner, the old lady doesn't believe that this melon can't be twisted!Of course, even if she is unwilling, she will never ignore the idea of ​​the client and insist on forming a small team.

"I'll ask Hiyori's attitude later! If Hiyori doesn't care, then let's not worry about them."

She picked up her mobile phone and made a call. The mechanical female voice kept repeating, "The user you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later."

Yosano Akiko: "..."

Is the Tokyo Conjuration College so remote?

She didn't know that Hiyori was not on the campus of the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Magic and Magic at this time.As for why I can't contact... I'm on the plane to Hokkaido, so obediently shut down the phone!
