"...Everyone knows that although it is still the second semester, in the third semester after the first month, you come to the school just to take the graduation test, and the time you stay in the holy night is actually only The last two months."

During the routine morning meeting on Monday, Mr. Koizumi stood in front of the podium and mentioned the matter of graduation and further studies.For six full years, and for some reason, Nanako was assigned to the monthly group every year. Teacher Koizumi also became her class teacher for six years. She changed classrooms, but her seat never changed. The row is next to the position of the podium table, and she has been taking classes for six years under the nose of Mr. Koizumi.

"Half of this semester has passed, and in January, most private middle schools will hold entrance selection exams, and the deadline for exam registration will be next month. When you go back, remember to discuss your plans for further education with your parents as soon as possible. Only by entering a good middle school can it be easier to enter a good high school and a good university, I hope everyone can take this matter seriously."

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Mr. Koizumi left the classroom with the lesson plan. The class suddenly became noisy, and most of the students were asking their friends about their plans for further education.

Holy Night is a top-notch private college that is ranked all over Japan. Most of the parents who will come to study here value education, at least to give their children a good-looking diploma.The teachers in Japanese public middle schools are basically so-so, so almost all students plan to take the entrance examination for private or national middle schools.

"Nanako, have you decided where to go to middle school?" Miwa at the back table poked Nanako's back with a pen.

I was writing "Escape" silently, Nanako put down the pencil in her hand, moved her buttocks, sat sideways on the chair, raised her head and talked to Miwa: "I don't know... Dad said that you can go wherever you want .”

"That's right, Nanako, your grades are very good. You should be able to choose from most private middle schools." Miwa thought for a while and asked her again, "Then is there any middle school you want to go to?"

Nanako shook her head, and the little braid curled up behind her head also shook.She hasn't even figured out what middle school there is in Yokohama, she only knows that Li Xiaolang is studying in Youzhi Middle School now, but Youzhi Middle School is far away, so she probably won't go there for junior high school.

"Where are you going?" Nanako also asked Miwa, if possible, she would like to copy Miwa's homework.

"I don't know either..." Miwa scratched her blue hair with a tangled face, "The High School Affiliated to Lihai University in the city next door sent me an invitation a few days ago. If I go to study there, I can be exempted from the exam." Enrollment, but to join the basketball team, the coach of the Seagull Academy also looked for my mother before, and then there are Karakura Town No. [-] Middle School, Teidan Middle School..."

Sanlun counted with his fingers, with a hesitant look on his face, as if he was facing different flavors of ice cream in the window. The only difference is that the ice cream can buy ten different flavors at one go, but the middle school can only choose one. read.

Perhaps this is the trouble that a person with four national championship gold medals has to face, Nanako thought silently in her heart.

"But I will probably choose to go to Qingxue." Sanlun finally said, "I heard that their women's basketball team is too bad. The new coach who changed this year is digging people everywhere. The coach promised that as long as I participate in their basketball Team, in addition to the bonus, I can also let my mother go to help in the school cafeteria, the kind of equal pay for equal work."

She refers to being able to get the same remuneration as male employees. In Japan, although they do the same job in many cases, the remuneration received by female employees is only half or even one-third of that of male employees. This is also three rounds. The reason why my mother had to work three jobs to support the family.

If her mother can be allowed to work in the cafeteria, her mother will not have to work hard to leave early and return late. Moreover, she can help out in the cafeteria and bring some expired food home to reduce living expenses.

Nanako thought about it and thought it was good, so she said to Miwa: "Then I'll ask Dad if I can go there too."

If she was with Miwa, she felt that middle school would be more convenient, and she didn't really want to spend time getting to know new classmates.

I have been in elementary school for six years on Holy Eve, and classes are re-divided every school year, but there are only a few classmates that Nanako can remember, such as the girl who was her group leader for three years, and the girl who died after becoming a guardian. Tanaka, who was always following her with her two juniors...or was it Taguchi?

Although when I asked Ranpo before, Ranpo told her that she could go wherever she wanted, but Nanako felt that it was necessary to ask Ranpo again, after all, her stupid father's credit value with her was not very high , Everything you say should be like peeling an onion, throwing away all the unreliable parts as if you didn't hear it.

What he said, "If you want to go to another school, just ask the president to find a relationship", cut the beginning and the end, and probably left "If you want to go to another school, you have to ask the president to find a relationship", Can it be successful or not?

It’s the end of October, and the weather in Yokohama is getting colder and colder. When Nanako returned to the detective agency after school today, all the protesters who surrounded the downstairs last week were gone. Instead, they were in the mailbox of the detective agency. The day is full of thank you letters and gifts, because Kunikida and Dazai rescued a plane of passengers a few days ago.

This incident was also widely reported in the news, and Nanako also saw the newspaper, which had bluffing headlines such as "The Detective Agency Shows Its Skills" and "More than [-] people survived the disaster" in large bold characters.

"As the saying goes, the world is impermanent and people's hearts are changeable. This is the truth."

When Nanako went to feed Hanako after school, and told him about it, Hanako bit the apple that Nanako sent, and whimpered.

"Because I think the detective society is dangerous, so I keep making complaint calls and throwing stones at the members who come to work. But as long as they are saved when they are in a desperate situation, the wind will immediately turn. Alas, as expected Fangzi is the best, no matter when, Fangzi will never leave me."

【That's because Yoshiko doesn't have long legs. 】

Nanako thought of this in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud, because she knew that it was a very bad thing to judge other people's wives casually.

Although Kunikida and Hanabou have said several times that a quilt cannot be used as a wife, Nanako feels that the quilt is thicker than the paper man.Since the paper figurine can be a wife, then the quilt can probably be too.

Back at the Detective Agency, Nanako wanted to ask Ranpo about the Selected School. Mr. Koizumi said that most private middle schools will close the registration at the beginning of December, and there is still a little more than one month left. She has to hurry up. Click on the school.

She was standing in the office area with her schoolbag on her back, but she didn't see Ranpo's figure, only Kunikida was writing a report, and his fingers dancing on the keyboard were about to appear afterimages.

She wanted to ask where Kunikida's father was, when the phone in her pocket buzzed and vibrated suddenly, there was new news.

Taking the phone out of her pocket, Nanako clicked on the unread message and looked at it. It was a text message sent to her by Li Xiaolang:

[The package that my second sister sent me has arrived. There is a third-grade high school English textbook of the People's Education Edition that you want, and it is stored in the Lu restaurant of an acquaintance in China Street. If you have time, you can go there to pick it up.address:……】

Nanako replied to him: 【53】

The other side sent another message soon.

Li Xiaolang: […]

Li Xiaolang: [Wu San was taxed. 】

Nanako fell silent looking at the three big characters "taxed".

But silence can't help her pay the tax, so Nanako can only put the phone back in her pocket, and is going to take her small change purse to Chinatown to get the things Li Xiaolang bought for her, and return the tax to him by the way .

Although Li Xiaolang is a kind and honest person, he always worked tirelessly from Tomoeda Town to deliver her things to the port in the past two years, but it is not good to bully an honest person all the time, so Nanako decided to bear the pain and take it out. own pocket money.

The Chinatown in Yokohama is a bit far away, and she has to take a bus for half an hour to go there in the next area.

After putting away her schoolbag, she ran to tell Kunikida that she wanted to go to Chinatown with Gogol to pick up things.

Kunikida stopped typing on the keyboard, turned to look at her, thought for a while and said: "It just so happens that Mr. Ranpo and Oda also went to Chinatown, you can go to them when you pass, and pay attention to safety on the way. "

Nanako: "Oh."

"Today is Frost's Descent. I heard that the store in Chinatown is distributing persimmon cakes. Mr. Ranpo will go there if he wants to eat." Kunikida said, and glanced at the calendar on the table - there are three desk calendars on his desk, They are the calendar, the monthly calendar and the annual calendar. On the page turned on the calendar, the words [霜麻 (そうこう)] are marked under the numbers, "Now is the season when persimmons are ripe, but you can't eat too much. Eating too much may affect your health." Stomach, especially not on an empty stomach..."

He babbled about a bunch of precautions, and wrote two notes to Nanako before letting her go to Gogol.

Mind cycled "かき", "かき", "かき", Nanako found Gogol in the tea room in a daze, and called him to Chinatown to eat かき (persimmons).

*******

Chinatown.

As one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan, Chinatown is one of the busiest streets in Yokohama, where tourists from all over the world come here for sightseeing every day.There are many shops on the street, and there are many large and small signboards, but they are all in traditional characters, and there are almost no shop names written in simplified characters.

Today is Shuangjiang, and many shops on the roadside are selling persimmons or desserts made of persimmons. Although she is a native of the Celestial Dynasty, Nanako is not very clear about whether Shuangjiang has the custom of eating persimmons. She only knows about mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. and Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings, and many times she didn't even eat moon cakes and rice dumplings.

Holding a dried persimmon with Gogol, Nanako squatted in a remote alley beside the bustling street, staring at the soft black and white fat ball sitting on the ground in front of her.

Nanako didn't quite understand one thing.

——Why is there a panda here?

"Because this is Chinatown?" Gogol guessed reasonably.

Nanako: "..."

Nanako also made a reasonable guess. According to Gogol, people in Sichuan may go to school by riding giant pandas.

The panda is fat, like a pile of glutinous rice balls on the ground, sitting on the ground is about the same height as Nanako who is squatting, but Nanako is not quite sure whether it is a panda or a panda with dyed fur. dog.

She has only seen giant pandas in videos and pictures, but she has also seen some dogs whose hair is dyed black and white, and they look no different from pandas. This may be the disguise technique in the animal world.

If this is a real panda, which zoo did it come from?

"what!"

The panda in front of him suddenly let out a cry.

Nanako, who heard the panda call for the first time, suddenly became shivering, held her breath, and stared intently at the fat panda in front of her.

Stretching out its paws, the panda grabbed the persimmon from Nanako's hand with a wave of its palm, then gnawed on it, ate up the dried persimmon in two or three bites, and then turned round and fluffy Then he turned his head to the persimmon in Gogol's hand.

Nanako also turned to look at the persimmon in Gogol's hand.The swarthy round eyes did not blink.

Facing the two pairs of dark eyes, Gogol paused for a second while eating the persimmon.

Then he immediately stuffed the remaining persimmons into his mouth in two or three bites, chewed them a few times and swallowed them all, and asked with a smile on his face, "Huh?"

"Hmm~~~" The panda immediately lay back, made a whimpering sound like a child, and started rolling on the ground, waving its short paws.

Gogol let out a "huh", turned his head to Nanako and asked, "What is it doing?"

Nanako shook her head: "...I don't know."

The panda lying on the ground suddenly started humming again, like a child acting like a baby.

Gogol picked up the wooden stick on the ground and poked the panda's buttocks. The panda, who was still buzzing just now, turned over like a tiger and glared at Gogol.

"Ahhh!" the panda made a strange cry.

Gogol couldn't understand what it was saying, so he ignored it and continued talking to Nanako: "What should we do now?"

Nanako thought about it seriously, and then according to her common sense, she took out the phone from her pocket.

——In short, call 110 first.

Fifteen minutes later, the nearby police station quickly dispatched the police, and under the enthusiastic crowd of passers-by, they escorted the panda all the way to the Yokohama Zoo.

Seeing the shadow of the police car disappear in Chinatown, Nanako looked away, and Gogol continued to look for dried persimmons to eat.

Oh yes, and her stupid dad.

The author has something to say:

At this time, a male mother was on the way to find her fat son

At this time, Nanako forcibly forgot to pick up her third-year English book because she didn't want to pay taxes.
