After becoming a chaotic daughter

[... Can't sleep. 】

Nanako was lying on the big soft bed, covered with a brand new quilt, staring at the dim ceiling, thinking sullenly in her heart.

This is the first day they moved into their "new home". The newly bought apartment is five or six minutes away from the detective agency and the dormitory. It covers an area of ​​more than 6 square meters. Afterwards the whole apartment looks spacious and bright.

Nanako's room is the second bedroom next to Ranbu's bedroom. It is covered with the carpet they bought at a home textile store. The curtains are also the pink-gray three-layer curtains that day. The bedding and pillows that have been washed and dried are soft and comfortable. With the fragrance of softener.

It can be said that compared with the original one-bedroom dormitory with only six tatami mats, narrow and old, the new apartment is better everywhere. There are even two bathrooms, so that Nanako does not have to wait in line every night. I'm taking a shower.

But Nanako is still not used to the new home.

The new apartment is very large, and the new bedroom is also very large. The second bedroom of fifteen or six square meters is a room for her to sleep alone. It is larger than the living room of the detective agency dormitory. It is so big that Nanako feels a little empty.

Obviously, she used to sleep in this kind of bedroom, and she was the only one living in such a big old apartment. Every day was quiet and there was no sound at all. She was alone in the bedroom, except for going to school and shopping. I seldom go out, and never feel that the house is very empty.

But after six or seven years of being squeezed in the small dormitory of the detective agency, and then living in such a big room again, she suddenly felt that the bedroom seemed empty, as if even the air carried a strange emptiness.

It was already July, and the weather was getting hotter. The new air conditioner in the bedroom was running quietly, barely making a sound.

Nanako was lying on her back, holding in her hands the old little yellow duck dolls she brought from the dormitory, and Ranpo bought her several new little yellow duck dolls—of course, he bought more for himself— But Nanako is still used to holding the old duck.The stuffed cotton was no longer fluffy, and the old duck was floppy, but Nanako still felt that the old little yellow duck felt more secure when held.

She stared at the ceiling for a while, then grabbed the little yellow duck doll in her hand, got up from the bed, and stood up directly on the carpet without wearing the newly bought plush slippers.

--Sleepy.

—but couldn't sleep.

Nanako wanted to drag the quilt to play on the floor in Ranbu's room, so it should be the same as when she was in the dormitory.

She turned on the small light, squatted in front of the closet, and pulled out the old quilt that was under the closet.Ranpo originally wanted to throw away these old quilts, but Kunikida said that the old quilts can be kept for the overnight guests, and if the old quilts need to be thrown away, they will have to pay for the waste station to dispose of them, so in the end they still didn’t exist. was thrown away.

Nanako found the quilt and quilt, but did not find the pillow, so she dragged the new pillow on the bed, and then dragged the little yellow duck doll's butt with one hand, holding the pillow in her arm, and dragged the quilt and quilt with one hand. It was a bit laborious Opened the bedroom door.

Using hands and feet to get the futon dragged on the floor out of the room, Nanako closed the door, and wanted to drag the futon to the room where she was wandering around again, when she just turned around, she saw a person standing a few steps behind her.

The living room didn't turn on the lights, and it was pitch black. Nanako was frightened by the dark figure, held her breath for a moment, shrunk her shoulders like a cat, and hugged the pillow in her arms tightly.

With a "click", Soi Ying turned on the light switch in the living room next to him.

Wearing pajamas, with messy black hair on her head, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, yawned big, shook her head, and looked a little sleepy.

In fact, Luanbu did not wake up a bit.

He just woke up in a daze in the middle of the night, saw the unfamiliar ceiling, and remembered that he moved to a newly bought apartment today.After moving to a new house, Nanako was going to sleep by herself, so Ranbu wanted to see if she had slept well, but as soon as she left the room, she was so sleepy that she stood there and dozed off.

Seeing Nanako dragging the big quilt and the little yellow duck out of the room, turning on the light, the vision became brighter, and the mind that was sleepy and sleepy was a little clearer.

"Nanako?" He was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and his words were a little vague, "Hurry up and go back to sleep..."

Nanako dragged the quilt and stood at the door of the room, talking to him: "Dad... I want to go to your place to make a bed on the floor."

"No, you are not a child now, you can't cling to adults, you have to sleep by yourself." Ranbu quickly answered her, and after hearing Nanako's words, his drowsiness was driven away by five or six minutes. , raised his head vigorously, with a serious expression on his face.

Nanako didn't speak, she hung her head and hugged the pillow and the little yellow duck silently.

It is impossible to cling to an adult, and she is not a child. Nanako feels that she is used to sleeping in a dormitory, so she is a little obsessed with the bed, or "recognized by the tatami mat"... Maybe she is a little rebellious.

Sleeping alone, she always felt that the room was so big and so quiet that she couldn't fall asleep at all.

Luanbu yawned again, lazily urging her: "I still have to go to the detective agency tomorrow, go back to sleep quickly."

Tianqing Academy just started the summer vacation the day before yesterday, so Nanako doesn't have to go to school, but she still has to go to bed early and get up early every day, and go to the detective agency with Luanbo.

"...can't sleep." She replied in a chaotic pace, her flat tone was as hard as a small rock, without any ups and downs.

Luanbu looked at her, then at the quilt and pillow she was holding in her hand, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then went back to his own room, and soon dragged the old quilt out of the dormitory.

"Making the floor in the living room tonight." Throwing his quilt on the carpet in the living room, he found the remote control with random steps, sat on the carpet, turned on the air conditioner in the living room, turned his head and talked to Nanako solemnly, "But tomorrow Start sleeping by yourself at night."

"Yeah." Nanako nodded.

She laid out her own quilt next to the quilt that was walking around, and then honestly hugged the little yellow duck doll and shrank into the quilt.

The carpeted floor was a bit hard, not as soft as tatami, but Nanako fell asleep quickly anyway.

*******

In the first summer vacation after entering middle school, she was not busy with her studies, and her summer homework was very ordinary. Nanako huddled in the detective agency and played with her mobile phone very leisurely.

Today is the final of the Middle School Basketball Kanto Tournament. Nanako received a message sent to her by Sanlun on the line. Qinggaku’s game was in the afternoon. I went to the competition venue early in the morning. Sanlun is watching other schools’ matches with her teammates. Contest.

She sent two photos of the competition to Nanako. The venue was huge and there were many spectators. Nanako also saw people like the cheerleaders of the school support team in the audience.

In fact, Nanako has never been to the three rounds of the game. She has no interest in sports and does not understand the rules of the basketball game. She only knows that the basketball is thrown into the opponent's basket. The three rounds have never asked Nanako to watch her game. .

After all, you have to sit there and watch for 10 minutes if you don’t have any interest, and you can’t understand it at all. Those incomprehensible ancient Chinese characters!

Nanako exited the enlarged photo, only to see that Miwa had sent her a new message.

[Three rounds]: Have you seen Echizen's SNS?Their tennis team won the Kanto tournament yesterday!I'm so nervous now, what if we don't make it to the national competition qaq

Qingxue's men's tennis team and women's basketball team can be said to represent the two extremes of the school's sports clubs. One is an excellent model, who can win awards every year, and the other is a poor student model, who has a round trip every year.This year the basketball team has changed coaches, the players have been reshuffled, and a lot of money has been invested in it. If they fail to achieve good results, they may be given up next year.

As a seed player that the coach painstakingly poached, the performance in the three rounds can be said to be the top priority.

Nanako lay down on the table and typed quickly to answer her.

[Nanako]: I didn't add him as a friend, I didn't see it

Not to mention adding Etsu's ex-friends, her sns (social networking platform) account was only registered last month, and there were only people from Sanwa and Detective Agency in the list, as well as some local media accounts in Yokohama.

Miwa immediately pushed Echizen's SNS account to Nanako, Nanako sent a friend request, and chatted with Miwa for a while, after five or six minutes, Echizen Ryoma approved her application, and then sent a message come over.

[Echizen]: Edogawa?

[Nanako]: √

【Nanako】: Congratulations to the hamster for sending melon seeds.jpg

【Echizen】：thanks

Probably because many people have congratulated Echizen on the game in the past two days, Nanako just sent an emoji, and he knew what Nanako was referring to.

Not very familiar with Echizen, Nanako casually flipped through his homepage twice.Half of it was about tennis, and half of the other half was a picture of a cat.It is a kind of cat that often appears in cute pet videos. It has fluffy fur and beautiful blue eyes, but Nanako can't remember the name of this breed of cat for a while.

The frequency of Echizen's SNS is not very high. Nanako flipped through it casually, and found photos of him in the United States before returning to Japan, but the content has not changed much since returning to Japan.

She thought that she and Echizen had nothing to talk about, and just as she was about to turn off SNS and go back to the line, she received another message from Echizen.

[Echizen]: The basketball team played today?

[Nanako]: √

【Echizen】:,

[Echizen]: Hand slippery.how was the game

[Nanako]: Sanwa Shuo Qingxue is in the afternoon session

After replying Echizen's sentence, Nanako thought about it and added another sentence.

【Nanako】: Miwa seems very nervous

[Echizen]: Now it's just the Kanto competition, it's still far away, isn't the goal a national competition?

Nanako stared at that "it's still far away" for a long time, and didn't understand whether he said "the level of the third round is still far away" or "the current Kanto competition is still far from the national competition", but she Still conscientiously sent a screenshot of this sentence to Miwa, and then replied Echizen's words to himself.

【Nanako】: You too, まだまだだ (still not far away)

【Nanako】: ね (it)

【Echizen】:...

【Echizen】: Why is "ね" published separately?

Because I don't want to be the "na na" blame.

Nanako thought to herself.

She didn't intend to post "ね", but after thinking about it, she felt that a qualified repeater should not tamper with other people's lines, so she added it again.

【Nanako】: hand slippery

【Echizen】:...

Sitting cross-legged on his own bed, Echizen Ryoma was holding his mobile phone, looking at the "ね" and "Hand Slip" in the opposite reply in the dialog box, he always felt a subtle sense of ridicule rushing towards his face.

He slid up the chat history a bit, and saw the exact same message he had sent:

——【まだまだだね】

——[Hand sliding]

Scrolling up and turning to the top, there is that [Hamster Congratulations on Congratulations on Melon Seeds.jpg] emoticon.

Echizen: "..."

Why does he feel that there seems to be a difference between his front desk on the Internet and in school.

Turning off SNS, Nanako switched back to the line, and saw an emoticon package that Miwa replied after receiving a screenshot of her chat, and a picture of a small group posing "fight!".

It seemed that both sides could end the chat, Nanako put down the phone.

Just after the summer vacation, she didn't really want to do homework, and Gogol didn't know where to go. Nanako found a cat teaser from the cabinet and went to the coffee shop downstairs to play with Sanhua Pig.
