After becoming a chaotic daughter

As soon as the first lunar month entered, Yokohama had a heavy snowfall.

It happened to be the New Year's holiday, and most of the companies were closed, and the detective agency was no exception. Almost all the members of the agency went home for the New Year, but there were quite a few people who stayed in the agency this year.

Last year there was an extra Oda, and this year there was another Dazai, and in order to prevent most of the flower bags who had just resigned from the company from being accompanied by anyone, Kunikida, who used to always go back to his hometown for the New Year, stayed in Yokohama this year.Therefore, even though it is a holiday, there are still people in the detective agency every day, and it is not deserted. On the contrary, because there is no work during the Chinese New Year and there is no need to go out to work, a group of people hang out in the agency every day to chat and have fun.

It had just snowed the night before, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the open space downstairs of the detective agency. Wrapped in a thick scarf, Nanako was squatting on the edge of the flower bed, slowly pushing the snowball, and Gogol Build a snowman together.

She has been in Yokohama for six or seven years, and she has seen snow several times. Although she is not very good at rolling snowballs, she can barely roll out a snow ball.

Wearing gloves, she kneaded pieces of snow together, forming a snowdrift as tall as half her body, and Gogol patted this "snowdrift" into a round "head". , Then I got two branches from nowhere, and inserted them on the snowdrift, one left and one right, and an ugly snowman took shape.

Nanako thought the snowman was ugly, and Gogol felt the same way, so they quickly pushed the snowman over and began to make another snowball, planning to build a rounder snowman.

They squatted down on the snow and dumped the crushed snow. A man in a dark down jacket came from the other side of the street.

The man carried a briefcase in the crook of his arm, wore thin-rimmed glasses, and held a mobile phone.His eyes turned back and forth between the phone screen and the sides of the street, walking very slowly, with hesitant steps, as if he couldn't quite confirm the direction.

He noticed Nanako and Gogol squatting on the side of the road making snowmen, his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly towards them.

"That..." He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know whether to talk to the older foreign boy or ask another short girl.

With the snowball in his hands, Gogol raised his head with a bright smile on his face and asked in a natural tone, "What's the matter?"

It's a foreign boy who can speak Japanese.

The man collected himself, greeted them politely, then took out his mobile phone and asked, "Do you know how to get to this address?"

Nanako and Gogol went over to have a look together, and found that the address of the detective agency was written on it, but it was written in the way of [[-]th floor of a certain building in a certain chome in a certain district of Yokohama City], so that unfamiliar people It was hard to realize where this was for a while.

This block is mixed with shops and residential buildings. Many buildings do not have obvious house numbers, so it is difficult to find a certain address.

"It's right here." Gogol pointed him the way, "It's the fourth floor of this building, and you can take the elevator up from there."

"Okay, thank you very much." The man thanked them again and again, "I've been looking for half a street, and I didn't expect it to be so close!"

"Do you want to come to the detective agency to make a commission?" Nanako watched him put away the phone.It's still Chinese New Year, and the detective agency is also closed, so there are very few clients who come to the door at this time.

Hearing her question, the man's face showed a look of incomprehension: "Entrustment? What entrustment?"

"?" Nanako looked at him with dark eyes without blinking, not understanding why he asked, "This is the address of the detective agency."

If it wasn't for the entrustment, what would you come to the detective agency for in such cold weather and Chinese New Year?

"Detective agency?" The expression on the man's face was even more confused.

"That's right~" Gogol grabbed the corner of his cloak and waved it around, "This is the address of the Armed Detective Agency! It's the New Year's closing period, if you're here to make a commission, please come back next year! —Of course, If it's a big case, it's a different matter!"

【Armed Detective Agency】

This answer made the man stunned for a moment. The name of the detective agency is well known in Yokohama. He became famous because he solved the hijacking incident of a criminal gang. Anyone who has read the news a little bit, it is impossible not to have seen this name.

"No no no—"

The man subconsciously denied it, and then explained his reason for coming.

"I am the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, and yesterday I read a manuscript from an acquaintance who is the editor of the magazine-of course, I know this behavior is a bit offensive, but I mean, the manuscript was written Very good!"

"I haven't encountered such an exciting work for at least five or six years. Although the writing is still a bit rough, it may be because the author is still a novice, so the use of words is still a bit jerky, but in time, I feel that I have been working for 20 years. Years of experience guarantees that this author will definitely become everyone!"

"No! Even if you don't mention the future, just talk about the present, just this novel, as long as this novel is polished a little bit, there is no suspense to win this year's newcomer award! If Mr. Zechuan doesn't let this novel If elected, I'll pull out his hair!"

A moment ago, he was a gentle middle-aged uncle, but now he became more and more excited as he talked, waving the briefcase in his hand, and poured out a lot of praise words in his mouth, saliva flying everywhere, his face flushed, It seems to let the whole of Japan take a look at this novel he admires immediately, and the love is beyond words.

He danced and talked for nearly 5 minutes before he finally came back to his senses and realized his gaffe: "Sorry, I'm a little excited... I just want to say... Yes, I asked for this from an acquaintance. The contact address of the author, I came here non-stop today, I want to discuss the publication with the author, and ask him if he has any intention to publish. "

【……novel. 】

Nanako thought about it, if the address left was a detective agency, she could only think of one candidate, and that was Sakunosuke Oda.

"What's the author's name?" She raised her head and asked the uncle publisher in front of her.

"I don't know much about this." The man replied with a look of regret, "I only know that the pseudonym he used for submission is [Spicy Curry Rice]."

Nanako turned her head and looked at Gogol, seeing the same thought in the eyes of the other party——

【Oh, it really is Uncle Oda. 】

They threw away the snow ball in their hands, and took the publisher uncle upstairs to the detective agency.

Unlike the sub-zero temperature outside, the detective agency always turned on the heating in winter.As soon as the door of the detective agency was opened, a gust of warm wind rushed in, warming Nanako's frozen face.

She ran into the detective agency, and saw Ranpo eating rice cake and adzuki bean soup at the desk. The adzuki bean soup was cooked by Kunikida. When Nanako was building a snowman downstairs, she saw Kunikida going out with an insulated box. It's to deliver adzuki bean soup to Huadai.

"Nanako! Come here and eat rice cakes!" Ranpo held a spoon and waved Nanako over like calling a puppy.

He took an empty bowl, poured half a bowl of hot sweet soup for Nanako, and then put the rice cake in his own bowl into Nanako's bowl. When he saw the uncle who came in with Nanako and Gogol, he casually Asked: "What? Is it the client who came to entrust?"

"No, happy new year, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm not here to make a commission." The uncle publisher handed over his business card with the name of a well-known publishing house printed on it, "I want to come to Alone, may I ask [Spicy Curry Rice], is you in your company?"

Not the client who came to entrust, Luanbu felt a little disappointed, but he was not too surprised. This uncle didn't look like he was asking for help, and he just asked casually.

Nanako pushed an office chair, sat next to him, and pushed the rice cake soup to her with random steps, and slipped a spoon for her: "Looking for Oda? Oh, has his novel finally been submitted? Publisher up for it? Not bad—if you're looking for him, go out across the hall, he's in the kitchen."

"In the kitchen?" The uncle publisher with a keen sense of smell was shocked immediately, "Sure enough, you really deserve to be Mr. Spicy Curry! Most famous writers have their own hobbies. Does Mr. Spicy Curry Fan like to write in the kitchen! Such a delicious pseudonym! Is he in the kitchen working on his next novel?"

"No, he was just dragged away by Ms. Xie Ye to cook tofu soup." Luanbu answered him casually, lowering his head and holding the small beans in the bowl with his chopsticks seriously, "That pseudonym was just drawn by a child in his family. .”

Nanako chewed on the rice cake, watching the expression on the uncle publisher's face change from stunned, to silent, then to calm, then serious, and finally fixed in awe:

"It's no wonder that Mr. Spicy Curry Rice can describe the trivial details of life so thoroughly and exquisitely! It turns out that it is because he himself is such a person who immerses his whole body and mind in real life! He really deserves to be the Spicy Curry Fan! After condensing it into the pen, such a real and profound text, as expected, only a person like him can write such a text!"

Nanako: "..."

Are those glasses on his nose really?

Nanako was suspicious.

Isn't that really a filter?

She watched the publisher go out in high spirits to find Sakunosuke Oda in the kitchen.

*******

In the middle of the first lunar month, Nanako went to Seigaku to take the entrance selection exam.

The exam papers are not too difficult. Kunikida usually finds some practice questions for her to do. The type and difficulty of the questions are similar to those of the practice questions. There should be no problem in passing.

After the entrance selection examination is over, the new semester will start soon.This is the third semester of the sixth grade, and it is also the last semester of Holy Night Elementary School. There are only about two months, but the classes are going on as usual, and Nanako still has to practice back rolls in the gymnasium, which she doesn't like very much.

But these days will end soon. At the end of February, the sixth grade will no longer have to go to class, but will start preparing for the graduation exam instead.

The difficulty of the graduation exam is very simple. They are all the most basic questions, and there is nothing to prepare for. In comparison, the graduation ceremony in March is more important.The annual graduation ceremony of Shengye Elementary School is very grand, corresponding to the preparation fee of [-] yen per person, which is used to purchase uniforms for the graduation ceremony.

Nanako felt a little heartache after pulling out two 1 yuan bills from her small coffers.

Next week is the graduation exam, club activities have been suspended, Sanlun has almost quit the basketball team, no need to go to practice, after school, she and Nanako carry their schoolbags together and walk towards the school gate.

"So when school starts in April, we will still go to the same school." Knowing that Nanako is also going to Qinggaku, Miwa is very happy, "It would be great if we can continue to be assigned to the same class!"

Nanako let out a "hmm" and nodded. It would be much more convenient if she could be in the same class as Miwa.

They were talking without saying a word, and not far from the teaching building, they heard the voice of a boy named Nanako behind them.

"Jianghu - Chuan - fellow - student -"

Dragging his schoolbag, Taguchi ran to catch up with them from the teaching building, panting from exhaustion.In the sixth grade, he was assigned to the next class, and he was not in the same class as Nanako and the others.

After finally catching up to Nanako and Miwa, Taguchi couldn't catch his breath and asked while gasping, "Edogawa, where did you go to middle school?"

"I won't tell you." Miwa gave a very firm answer in a very ordinary tone.

"Eh? Why?" Taguchi, who hadn't gotten an answer from last semester's questioning until now, was stunned.

"Because you are Stoka (stalker)." Miwa answered him, "So it is forbidden to continue to secretly follow Nanako in middle school."

"I am not Stoka!" Taguchi tried to justify himself, "I am the knight of the witch! Do you understand the knight! That is protecting the witch! This is the duty of the knight!"

"No, that's Stoka." Miwa said sharply, "And it's Stoka who suffers from the second disease."

"No! It's a knight!"

"Stoka!"

"knight!"

"Stoka!"

"..."

The two of them quarreled, and Nanako didn't really want to participate in this kind of quarrel among elementary school students, so she carried her schoolbag and walked slowly and muffled towards the school gate.

She passed a flower bed. It was still late winter and early spring, and the weather was still very cold. There were no flowers in the flower bed, only bare branches with green leaves sprouting.

In a barren flower bed, Nanako saw a black egg.

【…】

Nanako turned her head cautiously and took a peek. Miwa and Taguchi were still arguing about "Stoca" and "Knight". It seemed that Taguchi didn't notice her side.

In the past six years, Nanako has picked up balls several times in Shengye Elementary School, but every time they will be confiscated by the guardians, especially after Taguchi became a guardian, he always takes the other two students with him when he has nothing to do. The guardian of the school girl, sneaking around behind Nanako, every time Nanako picks up balls that have not been warmed up, they will confiscate them.

Taking advantage of Taguchi's inattention, she reached out to pick up the black ball lying in the flower bed, and picked it up smoothly.

Wiping her balls with her school uniform, Nanako was about to stuff her balls into her pocket when she looked up, and a little boy with blond hair appeared on the road in front of her.

...is the Guardian's current KChair Ichinomiya Hikari.

"Hi, senior." Hikari Ichinomiya greeted Nanako standing upright like a polite little prince.

Nanako: "..."

The hand picking up the eggs didn't know where to hide.

Hikari Ichinomiya didn't seem to see Nanako's movement of trying to stuff his balls in his pocket, with a calm and reliable expression like an adult on his small face, he stretched out his hand to Nanako: "Thank you for your hard work, senior. Just let us handle it. Next week is the graduation exam, so don’t worry about studying, sister.”

Noticing the situation here, Taguchi, who found out that Nanako had picked up another villain, immediately cheered up, and rushed to say: "That's right! Just leave it to me, a reliable knight! I will definitely use magic potions to purify the evil forces. of!"

"But isn't your 'sage' a magician?" Ichinomiya Hikari said suddenly.

Taguchi didn't hear what he said at all, and asked ignorantly: "Huh? Hikari, what did you say?"

"...It's nothing, let's go back, Taguchi-senpai."

Ichinomiya replied, turning his gaze to Nanako again, with his outstretched hand straight, waiting for Nanako to give him the egg.

Nanako slowly put the black balls into his hands, staring at their backs as they gradually moved away in the direction of the royal garden.

"Nanako?" Miwa asked a little strangely, "What are you looking at?"

Nanako withdrew her gaze, carried her schoolbag, thought for a while with her little head drooping, and then replied Sanwa: "...I want to eat eggs."

Three rounds: "?"

Although I don't know why Nanako suddenly wants to eat eggs, Miwa still said very thoughtfully: "Then let me treat you to an egg roll. Mr. Nakahara knew that I was about to graduate, so he sent me a congratulatory bonus last weekend."

"Ah."

Nanako nodded, and walked towards the school gate together with Miwa.

The author has something to say:

Exploring on the edge of life and death every day.jpg

Taguchi is the child whose guardian egg was soaked in vinegar by Nanako

Guardian Sweetheart is a magician, and I am a middle school student with secondary illness. After graduation, Haili took over the job of J.
