After becoming a chaotic daughter

Classes after school are loud and noisy.

"Echizen—! Why don't you leave!" Horio shouted at Echizen who was still sitting in the seat after he had already walked to the door of the classroom with his bag, "Don't say I didn't remind you, if you are late, That would be punished by the minister for running laps!"

Sitting on the seat, Echizen glanced at Nanako who was holding the schoolbag at the front desk and then sat back on the chair. He quickly looked away, lowered his head and poured all the textbooks and stationery on the table into his big bag. In the tennis bag.

"Here we come." He got up and walked towards the door of the classroom with his tennis bag on his back.

"Huh? Echizen, your coat is still on the seat. How did your memory become so bad, be careful not to keep the position you chose!" Noticing that Echizen didn't bring his coat, Horio bumped him with his elbow , said hummingly.

"It's too hot today, I don't need to wear it anymore." Echizen answered him casually, his tone was very perfunctory, and Horio cried out in dissatisfaction, and the two left the classroom together, and the voice of the conversation quickly disappeared.

Holding her schoolbag in her arms, Nanako was lying on the desk, not knowing what to do now.When she had her menstrual period for the first time, she seemed to be at home. She dealt with it sloppily, then went to a small shop in the community, bought menstrual supplies, and followed the instructions on the package. That's it.

But now that she was at school, she had no clothes to change, and she couldn't move around at will, so she could only sit motionless in her seat, waiting for the rest of the class to leave.

Almost all the students in the same class participated in club activities. After school, it was time for all activities. A group of students chatted with each other, and soon they left the classroom in groups of three or four.

Nanako took out her mobile phone from her schoolbag and sent a few messages to Miwa, but all of them fell to the ground and no reply was received.She thought that Sanlun was probably still on the way to the basketball court at this time, and she might not be looking at her mobile phone, so she tried to make two calls to Sanlun, but no one answered.

[... Is the sound muted? 】

Although Qingxue did not prohibit students from bringing mobile phones, Miwa must have muted their phones like her during class.As soon as Sanlu finished school, he packed his things and went to the basketball team. He probably didn't remember to turn his phone back to sound.

All the students in the class had left, and Nanako was the only one left. The noisy classroom became quiet, and even the corridor outside became deserted.

Nanako clicked on the address book in the phone, there were only a few people, and more than half of them were members of the detective agency.She flipped through the names of the women in the address book one by one, Miwa went to the Ministry to work, Naomi should not be out of school at this point, and she can't ask Mr. Koizumi and the Aoki Police Department...

Her gaze finally stayed on [Yoyano Akiko] at the end of the address book, and then quickly pressed the dial button.

The call was quickly connected, and Xie Ye's voice came from the other end of the phone, as soft as usual: "Nanako?... Is school over? What's wrong?"

"...Sister Akiko." Nanako lay on the table, staring at the back of the seat in front, and said slowly, "I'm on my period... my skirt is dirty."

The receiver paused for two seconds before Xie Ye replied: "Are you in the classroom now?"

"Ah."

"It's okay, don't be afraid, it's just a normal physiological phenomenon, I learned it in physiology class. Go ask the girls around you and borrow a napkin."

She said a word that was very strange to Nanako, 【ナプキン】, Nanako didn't understand all of a sudden, and subconsciously repeated it: "ナプキン?"

"It's just sanitary products." Yu Xie Ye answered her patiently.

"...Oh." After a slow beat, Nanako also realized what this word refers to.

"I'll ask Gogol to bring you a change of clothes, you wait in class for a while." Yu Xie Ye said so, and comforted Nanako a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Although she didn't know why a boy from Gogol was sent to give her a change of clothes, but Nanako looked at the picture of the end of the call on the phone screen and felt that the other problem before her might be more important.

——She didn't know where to borrow napkins.

All the students in the class have already gone, and even if they haven't, she is basically not familiar with the students who are not three rounds away, so she doesn't know who to borrow.

The class where she was alone seemed empty and quiet.Although no one was there, the classroom was still very hot and stuffy. The windows were wide open, but no wind was blowing in. The air felt sticky, like a big steaming steamer.Sweat fell from Nanako's head, and landed on the table with a patter, and a small group of water stains fainted, and Nanako realized that she was sweating all over her head.

"Edogawa?" A girl's voice suddenly sounded in the silent classroom, coming from the door of the classroom, "Have you left yet?"

Nanako raised her head and saw a girl she knew very well standing at the door of the classroom. She was the class monitor and one of the few people Nanako had more contact with in the class.

She walked over, stood two or three steps away from Nanako, observed Nanako's appearance, and said carefully: "You usually leave as soon as school is over, but today I have a job, so you still stay in the classroom , feel a little strange, come back to see if you are not at ease... What's wrong with you?"

【...Girls. 】

Nanako was silent for a while, and then asked her: "Did you bring ナ, ナプキ......"

"ナプキン?" Although Nanako was a little stumbled, the squad leader quickly guessed what Nanako wanted to say, she went around to her seat, took the things Nanako wanted to borrow from the drawer, and put them in a small cloth bag , looks like an ordinary handmade coin purse, "...I usually keep a spare in the drawer, if you forget to bring it, you can go to my place to get it first."

"Thank you." Nanako said to her, her tone a little stiff.

Nanako stood up with her head down. She couldn't see the back of her skirt, and she didn't know how it was dirty. The squad leader saw it and reminded her: "It's better to cover it with something like a coat... "

Nanako scratched her head, it was too hot in summer, and she didn't bring a coat.

Seeing what Nanako was thinking, the squad leader suggested: "Otherwise...you can borrow Echizen's first, his coat is left on the chair. If you are careful, it shouldn't get dirty."

Hearing her words, Nanako looked back and saw a blue and white coat hanging on Echizen's chair. It was the one that Echizen always wore when he was in school. It seemed to be the tennis team's regular selection Clothes.

It seems that it is not good to take other people's clothes casually, and they are still clothes like team uniforms. Nanako thought about it for a while, then shook her head and said, "I'll use my schoolbag to block it."

"Do you need my help?" the monitor asked.

Nanako shook her head again: "I can do it myself."

Hearing Nanako's refusal, the squad leader didn't say anything more: "Then I'll go back to the club first? ... Bye?"

"OK Bye Bye."

The bathroom was at the end of the corridor, and there was no one else in the teaching building. Nanako carefully moved to the bathroom, quickly finished it, and moved back to her seat.

She wiped the chair clean with a paper towel, then leaned back on the table, waiting for Gogol to bring her clothes.

The overhead fan whirred, stirring the air in the classroom, but it didn't cool the room much.Nanako felt a little uncomfortable, the weather was very hot, even if she just sat like this, the school uniform on her back was gradually soaked in sweat, and after being blown by the fan, it was icy cold against her body, making her feel a little cold again.

Although there was no physical pain, her stomach was still a little uncomfortable, twisting up like stirring maltose, and it became a mess.

[...so hungry. 】

Nanako covered her deflated stomach and buried her face in her arms.

[Guoguoli is so slow. 】

She is a little weak. Although she is full at noon, she seems to be very hungry during her menstrual period. The combination of hunger and discomfort during her menstrual period makes her feel very uncomfortable, and she doesn't even want to move, like a detective. The green plants in the club that haven't been watered for a few days are so wilted that they want to curl up in the soil.

—"What happened?"

A boy's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

The tone is as light as a bird on a branch, and the rising tail sound sounds very energetic. Such a short sentence is like a short piece of music, with cadences and cadences.

Nanako raised her head a little bit, her dark eyes had no light at all, Gogol appeared at her desk at some point, wearing a casual shirt and cropped trousers, the cloak on her shoulders was lifted by a fan The air current fluttered slightly.

His head was slightly tilted to one side, his eyes were bent and he smiled: "Yu Xie Ye asked me to send you a change of clothes~"

As Gogol said, he put the bag in his hand on the table.Nanako stretched out her hand, pulled the bag to her face and looked, there was a set of her clothes in the bag.

She stood up, held the bag in her arms, and said to Gogol, "I'm going to change clothes."

Gogol: "?"

He lowered his head and looked at Nanako, with a questioning look on his face for a second, and then he noticed something in his eyes.

"..."

Blinking his golden eyes, Gogol looked away and made way for Nanako.

Going to the bathroom and changing into new comfortable and clean clothes, Nanako felt a little more comfortable on her body, without that sticky feeling, but her stomach still felt a little uncomfortable.She returned to the classroom, put on her schoolbag and changed clothes, and went downstairs and out of school with Gogol.

More than half an hour had passed since school ended, and the teaching building was empty, not even a single student was seen.Gogol jumped down the steps lightly, and stood at the corner of the corridor, waiting for Nanako to come down slowly.

Nanako usually walks very slowly, but today she walked even slower, and it took more than ten seconds to walk a short section of steps.

Gogol watched her slowly walk down, turned the corner, and continued to walk slowly with his head buried. He tilted his head, put his left hand on his face, and asked Nanako suddenly:

"Will it be uncomfortable?"

Nanako: "...?"

As soon as the foot that was about to step on the next step was stepped out, it was retracted again, and Nanako stopped.

She raised her head, turned her head, looked at Gogol, and stood there motionless without saying a word.After a few seconds, he replied slowly: "...I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

"Do you need me to carry you?" Gogol asked, and he extended his hand to Nanako as an invitation gesture.

"..."

Nanako looked at Gogol's extended hand, her dark eyes blinked slowly.

She didn't want to walk very much, her stomach was uncomfortable, and her hands and feet were weak, but the weather was very hot, and if Gogol had to carry her on his back, it would be too hot to lean on his back.

——[……]

——【But I still don’t want to walk. 】

Instead of grabbing Gogol's hand, she went around behind him, tugged at his pigtails, made him squat down, and climbed onto his back.

The boy's body always seemed to be burning with the sun, and Nanako pressed her face to his neck, as if she was attached to a hot water bottle.She was so hot that she was sweating a little, but felt a little cold, so she put her face against his neck and remained motionless, hugging his neck tightly.

Gogol walked downstairs with Nanako on his back.

"Tell Ms. Xie Ye that it's because of growing up." Gogol turned his face and talked to Nanako who was lying on his shoulder. The fluffy head was next to Nanako's cheek, which made Nanako feel a little bit itch.

Even with Nanako on his back, his movements are light.Jumping down another step, he asked Nanako, "So have you grown up?"

Nanako thought for a while, and answered him very rigorously: "I've grown up a little bit."

Just a little bit, she hasn't finished school, she hasn't grown up, and she doesn't have a job, she's closer to a child than an adult.

Gogol said "No".

"Then how long will it take to become an adult?"

Nanako thought about it for a while, and she didn't know when she could "become an adult".Either they are adults, or they start working, or they are 25 years old, and they are no different from children.

In the end, she answered Gogol very conservatively: "You will be an adult when you are 20 years old."

After all, Japan's law stipulates that adults are 20 years old, and only when they are 20 years old can they smoke and drink.

"Then I will become an adult earlier than you," Gogol said.

Gogol is two years older than her, and of course he will reach 20 years earlier than her, so Nanako just said "hmm".

"Do you want to become an adult?" Gogol asked Nanako.

"...I don't know." Nanako answered him uncertainly.

She had never been an adult, and she didn't know what it would be like to be an adult, so she naturally didn't have such considerations as "whether you want to become an adult or not".

"Then do you want to be a child or an adult?" Gogol asked her in a different way.

Nanako pursed her lips, said nothing, leaned her head on his shoulder, and remained motionless for a while before answering Gogol's question in a low voice.

"...a child who wants to be a father." She said dryly, "and wants to grow up."

It's not that if you don't want to grow up, you won't grow up, but not every child can grow up.The unlucky "little child" is like her. When she is about to become an adult, she dies with a bang.

Gogol bent his eyes and showed a smile: "Жадная девочка (greedy girl)."

"?" Nanako didn't understand what he said again, "Don't you want to grow up?"

"What's the difference between growing up and not growing up?" Gogol said slowly as if reciting a poem, "It's just going from a smaller cage to another bigger one. "

His eyes were fixed on the stairs under his feet, and the smile on his face was very light.

"The more we grow up, the more things we can do, and the more constraints we are subject to. We are driven by instinct when we are young, but we are bound by reason when we grow up. From the moment we were born, we have been trapped in our own within the walls that have been erected."

"..." Nanako felt that Gogol seemed to have said something similar before, but she couldn't remember when, but she could be sure of one thing, that is, Gogol didn't answer the question she asked.

So she asked Gogol again: "Don't you want to grow up?"

At the end of the stairs, Gogol put Nanako down beside the shoe cabinet, watched her take out the small leather shoes from the shoe cabinet, and changed out the indoor shoes.He has never been to school, and when he saw Nanako changing shoes by the shoe cabinet, he looked at it with great interest. His eyes swept across the rows of shoe cabinets. The names of different students were printed on the shoe cabinets, all of whom were Nanako's peers. , or his peers.

He watched Nanako change her shoes, and then said to her very slowly:

"I want to grow up too."

"Just like you."

The author has something to say:

Ryoma is a child with a high emotional intelligence, and considerately leaves the jacket for the female classmate who is menstruating

Nanako is also a child with a high EQ (?), she considerately did not touch the important team uniforms of her classmates

This wave is a duel between two high EQs! (?)
