Karuizawa, a mountain villa.

"I haven't woken up yet..."

"Has it been an hour?"

"Did you hit your head?"

In the spacious Japanese-style living room, a group of members of the detective agency surrounded the unconscious boy, whispering to each other.

An hour has passed since the comatose boy, Echizen Ryoma, was carried back to the villa by the president, but he still doesn't seem to wake up.

Because of his slippery feet, Echizen fell into the river from the rocks along the waterfall. Although he almost fell into the water, he was immediately fished out by the president, but he was still submerged by the rushing river. Perhaps because of this, when he was fished out, he was already unconscious.The president carried him back to the villa, asked Kunikida to find dry clothes for him, and changed out of the wet sportswear.

"That..." Seeing that Echizen Ryoma still didn't wake up after so long, Tanizaki carefully raised his hand and asked the only doctor present, "Dr. Yosano, can't you use 'smelling salts'? It's the one that often appears in TV dramas." kind."

You Xie Ye lowered his eyes and packed the medical box he brought, and said in a calm tone: "Smelling salts are harmful to the human body, and they are generally not used in medical treatment, and I didn't bring them with me when I came out this time."

On the other side of the room, an uncle with a scruffy beard was smoking a cigarette in his mouth. Looking at the young man surrounded by several people, he groaned twice with his legs crossed, his face smelly, but because of his sloppy sitting posture It doesn't feel like a deterrent.

"You brat, you'll fall down like this. Sure enough, you still can't cultivate well." He said this with a look of disgust, but his small movements of glancing over there from time to time still showed his worry.

[But you also slipped and fell down. 】

Nanako, who was squatting beside Echizen, heard him say that, thought silently in her heart.

This sloppy uncle is Echizen's father, named Echizen Nanjiro. When Echizen fell into the water, he was lying on the rocks on the opposite bank. When he found his son fell into the water, he hurriedly got up and wanted to go to the river to rescue him. But as soon as he got up, his feet slipped and he fell directly into the water. After changing out of the wet clothes, they were still hanging on the clothesline outside.

Echizen and his father don't look alike at all, and there is no similarity in their words and deeds. One is the "Master Ryoma" who is very popular in school, and the other is a sloppy uncle. Presumably he is from Echizen The mother's genes are strong, and her excellent genes saved her son.

Echizen's body was not injured, he simply fainted, and he couldn't wake up even if he screamed. He and Xie Ye packed up the medical box, but there was no sign of him waking up.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "Why don't you just give this kid a stab, pain is always the fastest way to regain consciousness, and in this kind of matter, you must listen to me."

"...Is it true that he will never wake up again?" Kunikida said in a low voice, like a muttering to himself.

"Huh? Kunikida? Did you say something just now?" Yosano didn't hear his words clearly.

Kunikida immediately watched his heart, pushed his glasses, and replied calmly: "No, it's nothing, maybe you got it wrong with Dr. Yosano."

They were discussing "how to wake up this boy", Nanako squatted on the side with her knees hugged, biting a bag of orange-flavored jelly in her mouth, her dark eyes stared intently at Echizen who was lying on the tatami.

Echizen is an athlete like Miwa, and he became the main candidate for the tennis club in the first grade.His physical education is very good, and the amount of daily exercise is naturally very large, and he probably trains every day.Although he is not very tall, only about half a head taller than Nanako, his arms and calves are full of lean muscles. At first glance, people will have the first impression of "this boy is good at sports".

There are also muscles in Miwa’s arms. Nanako saw Miwa’s abdominal muscles when she was changing gym clothes in physical education class, but the muscle lines of Miwa are not as obvious as before. I don’t know if it’s because of the difference between men and women or other reasons .

Nanako thought for a while, took another bite of the sucking jelly, turned her head, and shifted her gaze from Echizen's body to Gogol who was sitting beside her.

She squatted on the tatami mat, a little taller than Gogol who was sitting.Noticing Nanako's gaze, Gogol turned his head, his slightly raised face was smiling, and his golden eyes were curved like crescent moons.

Gogol's pupils are a little different from normal people, even the pupils on both sides have subtle differences, which cannot be seen unless you look carefully, but it is easy to give people a weird feeling, but Nanako has been watching for a long time I got used to it, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with his eyes.

"What's the matter?" Gogol asked her, his beautiful and fluffy silver-white hair swayed slightly with the movement of his head.

Nanako held out her hand to him, palm up.

"Hands." She said to Gogol, her voice was as light as a feather.

Gogol stretched out his hand obediently, and put his left hand on Nanako's.

His hand was a circle bigger than Nanako's, with long fingers and well-defined joints. The slightly raised blue blood vessels on the back of the hand had clear veins and a warm touch.The weather was very hot. Although he always couldn't do without the cloak, he was still wearing short-sleeved clothes, revealing the boy's strong arms with a little muscular outline, but it was not very obvious.

【...It seems to be about the same as Miwa. 】

Nanako made a careful comparison, and then came to a conclusion in her heart.

[It's just thicker. 】

But after all, they are all stronger than her. There is only a little soft flesh on her arms, and there is no strong muscle at all. Similarly, she has no strength.

She also pulled Echizen's arm, and was still studying the difference between her own, Gogol's and Echizen's hands, when she heard Echizen who was lying on the side suddenly let out an uncomfortable moan from his throat.

The boy with short dark green hair opened his eyes.

Nanako quickly stuffed his hands back into the quilt, pretending that she hadn't done anything, and then looked at him with her dark pupils meeting the amber cat's eyes that gradually regained focus.

The boy's eyes were blank.

He saw Nanako who was looking forward, opened his mouth, tried a few times, and finally made a sound.

"...Where is this?" He asked Nanako in a confused tone.

Nanako thought about how to answer this question, and felt that it was a bit troublesome to explain, so she finally said to him: "The villa where I live."

"Villa?" Echizen looked confused, as if he was recalling why he was here, and very soon he "hissed" and covered his head, and after a few seconds, he propped up the futon and sat up .

"Who are you?" He was still covering his head with his hands, his expression was full of confusion, he paused, and then asked hesitantly, "Also——Who am I?"

Biting the frozen Nanako: "...?"

Nanako wondered if Echizen had lost his mind.

*******

"Simply put—"

"Amnesia."

After giving Echizen a basic cognitive check, he and Yosano made a final decision, and came to a conclusion that everyone present could see.

"It's best to send it to the hospital for examination first." She said to Echizen Minamijiro, who is Echizen's guardian, "The brain is a very delicate organ, and without special medical equipment for examination, it is impossible to make a further judgment. The most serious may be brain damage and internal hemorrhage, which may not necessarily lead to death."

"This is really... terrible." Echizen Nanjiro looked at his son who had become innocent and ignorant, and his back, which was bent lazily, straightened at this moment.

Members, you look at me, I look at you, but everyone tacitly does not focus on one person, and the president sits quietly at the side without saying a word, with his eyes closed as if he is in deep thought.

"But having said that," Dazai decisively changed the subject, "Why is Echizen-kun on the rocks under the waterfall? If you are not careful, you will fall into the river. Isn't it very dangerous?"

Echizen Nanjiro sighed, and replied: "Alas... this kid will participate in the final of the national competition the day after tomorrow. With his current level, it is far from enough to defeat his opponent, so I specially brought him to the mountain to compete. Special training."

He didn't expect such an accident to happen, and he didn't think it through.Compared with the competition, the safety of the son is more important. If it is just an ordinary injury, it will be fine, but it is a matter of life. As expected, I will take the dragon horse down the mountain immediately...

Kunikida frowned.

"Are you going to participate in the competition the day after tomorrow? That's really bad." His tone was serious.

"That's true." Dazai nodded in agreement, "With Echizen-kun's current state, if he can't participate in the competition, not only himself, but also his teammates will be very troubled."

Naomi hugged her brother's arm and said, "That's right, it would be a pity if you can't participate in the competition due to an accident."

The president apologized to Echizen Nanjiro full of apology: "I am really sorry for causing trouble to your son."

Echizen Minamijiro: ...Wait a minute, isn't the point that his brat might die at any moment?

——Why did this group of people focus on the game?

Sitting on the other side of the room, Nanako was talking to Echizen.

"We are classmates." She explained the matter seriously to Echizen, who had lost his memory, and thought of saying, "You are sitting at my back table, it is summer vacation."

Sitting face to face with Nanako, Echizen looked at Nanako with a simple face, then at Gogol who was sitting next to Nanako, and then asked Nanako, "Is he also a classmate?"

Nanako shook her head: "No, Guoguoli doesn't go to school, only we are classmates... and Sanwa too."

"Who is Miwa?" Echizen asked again, his eyes were as clean as a child's, so clean that there was nothing.

"Miwa is sitting behind you. There is a blue-haired girl who is very good at basketball." Nanako thought for a while and added, "It's as good as you at tennis."

"...I can play tennis?" Echizen showed a little confused look.

Nanako nodded.

Echizen paused for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "That... sorry, what is tennis?"

Nanako: "..."

Looking at the smile on Echizen's face, and hearing what he asked, Nanako felt a little hairy on her back.Although she is not very familiar with Echizen, she can still clearly feel that Echizen like this is very strange, just like seeing Dazai who loves work, the athlete's flower bag, and the president's face with a gentle smile Just as strange.

It was so strange that she wanted to call Sanwa and ask what she should do now.

She didn't know why a word suddenly appeared in her mind——

[official ooc]

Just when she was trying to persuade herself in her heart and wanted to continue talking to Echizen, the sound of running footsteps came from the corridor outside the living room. The footsteps came from far to near, and finally stopped at the door of this room.

With a sound of "Shua!", the paper-pasted Japanese-style sliding door was pulled open from the outside, followed by Luanbu's lively and high-spirited voice: "I'm back—!"

Appearing at the door was Ranpo holding a few bottles of soda in his arms, and Oda Sakunosuke already carrying a few shopping bags full of snacks in his hand.

When he came, he packed his luggage, and he took Oda down the mountain to buy soda, because he wanted to buy other snacks on the spur of the moment, so he delayed for a while, and he just came back now.

The living room was full of a group of people, as if there were two more people he had never seen before, standing at the door of the living room, maintaining the movement of opening the door, squinting at the scene in the room, thinking of entering In front of the house, I glanced at the clothes drying on the clothes rail, and immediately understood what was going on.

"Who are they?" He strode into the room and asked casually.

Kunikida replied, "That's Nanako's classmate, Echizen Ryoma, and this one is Echizen Ryoma's father, Echizen Minamijiro."

Kunikida briefly explained what happened.

Luanbu sat down next to Nanako, several bottles of soda in his arms rolled down on the tatami, he took a bottle of orange flavor, tried hard to pry off the lid of the soda bottle, listened casually, and finally He pried off the bottle cap and took a big gulp in one gulp.

Hearing Kunikida talking about Echizen's amnesia and going to the competition the day after tomorrow, Ranpo wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said casually: "Isn't that very simple, just ask Yosano-san to treat him for a while."

The room was eerily silent for a few seconds because of his words.

Nanako reached for the lemon soda that had rolled away, and when she got it, she was still struggling to break off the bottle cap when she heard Yosano's smiling voice.

"The concubine doesn't mind."

Tanizaki wiped the cold sweat that kept oozing from his forehead, and said tremblingly: "This, this... and, let's wait until Ryoma-kun is about to die..."

"Yeah yeah,"

"Let's talk about it when death is imminent!"

"Compared to the competition, it is... well, more important."

"He's still a child, forget it..."

A group of people surrounded and persuaded Xie Ye.

Nanako:?

Echizen Ryoma:?

Echizen Minamijiro:?

"Father, brother Dubu, what are they talking about?" Nanako struggled to break off the cap of the soda bottle, then turned to ask Ranpo.

"Things that children don't need to know... take the bottle cap to Gogol if you can't break it off."

"Oh... Dad, can't you break it too?"

"Dad broke it!"

Nanako silently handed the soda in her hand to Ranpo.

Ranbu: "..."

——"Gogol!"
