For some reason Nanako didn't know, Gogol was suddenly deducted a month's pocket money by Luanbu.

Although I don't quite understand why I just said "I was kidnapped just now", my father deducted Gogol's pocket money in the next second, and turned his head as if wanting to call Yosano to come over, but Nanako felt that it was still It is more important to finish talking about her own affairs first. After all, there are a lot of things, and she is afraid that if she doesn't talk about it now, she will forget it later.

She used very simple language to tell the story of her being kidnapped on the way back from school.

From the boys blocking her in the alley, to the sudden appearance of a gangster kidnapper, to the sudden appearance of a long bang, and then to what the long bangs and the gangster kidnapper said (she can’t remember the content clearly, So I only said a few words that I still remember), then said that the kidnapper released her after he tied her up, and finally talked about the long bangs who left and returned, and cut the rope for her. Luanpo's long bangs went back to the detective agency together.

Even though her description was dry and without embellishing words at all, she still talked for a long time about such a messy series of things before she finally finished.It is rare to say such a long sentence. When Nanako closed her mouth, she felt a little tired.

After talking about the kidnapping, she took Long Liuhai—that is, the piece of paper left by Edgar Allan Poe—out of her pocket, and gave it to Ranbu.

"This is Ed...Ed...AD..."

Edgar Allan Poe's name was a bit of a mouthful, but Nanako tried hard to suppress the thought of saying "AD calcium milk" and pursed her lips, thinking that she should not embarrass herself.

"Mr. Poe gave this to you. He asked you to go to this place to play games with him." Nanako said, after thinking about it, she asked Ranpo again: "Father, what is [the designer of the Guild]?"

She probably remembered a little bit of what Edgar Allan Poe said when he introduced himself to the gangster kidnapper, but she didn't know what [Guild] was, whether it was a thing, or what company name it was. The meaning of [Designer Chief] is understandable, it is probably like the position of architectural designer team leader, fashion designer team leader, etc.

Ranbu took the paper that Nanako handed him, and faced the A4 paper that had been passed vertically. It was crumpled because Nanako put it in his pocket. Nanako answered casually perfunctorily, "It's the planning team leader in [Guild] company responsible for event planning."

"...Oh." Nanako looked up at him, her expression remained expressionless, without any change.

It seems to have answered Nanako's question, but it seems to have not answered at all, but no matter what, this word sounds full of social animals.

...But having said that, why would the head of a company's event planning team talk about a "non-interference agreement" with a mafia kidnapper?Do not interfere with what?Does it mean that when the company holds an event, let the mafia not come to make trouble?Or pay protection fees?

Nanako couldn't quite understand these problems, as if she couldn't understand why the leader of the planning team turned back halfway to help her cut the rope, and even got to know her stupid father.

She thought for a few seconds, but couldn't think of an answer, so she stopped thinking about it. Anyway, whether she wanted to understand it or not, the result was the same, whether she should be kidnapped or she would be kidnapped. If the mafia had a gun, she couldn't run away and could only lie down. Equal father and Kunikida and the others came to save her like this.

All in all, stay away from the alleys in the future.

Nanako remembered this matter firmly in her heart.

He finished reading what was written on the paper with a few glances, just like Nanako casually took the paper out of his pocket, and he also casually stuffed the paper into his own pocket.

"Let Gogol or Kenji-kun pick you up after school tomorrow, don't come back by yourself soon." He told Nanako.

"Yeah." Nanako nodded honestly, not paying much attention.It may be that some criminal gangs have been running around recently, that's why someone kidnapped her today. This happened occasionally when Yokohama was not peaceful, and she was used to sometimes having to be picked up by someone before returning to the detective agency.

Luanbu patted her on the head again, and sent her to do her homework.Nanako subconsciously wanted to do her homework, but before she took a step out, she realized that she was still holding the manuscript that Gogol had picked up, and remembered that there was one more thing.

She raised her hand and showed the messy stack of manuscripts in her hand to Luanbu to read. When she and Gogol were looking at them just now, they flipped through them, as if they accidentally messed up the order of the pages.

"Gogol said he picked it up when he came back." Nanako said sternly.

Luanbu took the stack of manuscripts in his hand, glanced at them, and when his eyes touched the writing on the paper, the expression on his face changed slightly.

"Fiction?" he asked.

"Well, the novel." Nanako, who had finished reading it, answered him with certainty.

"Understood." He waved the manuscript in his hand, and said in a casual tone, "Dad will read it when he is free."

Nanako: "..."

Not for you to see.

Sure enough, she should have given this to Kunikida, but Nanako, who wanted to make Ranpo find the owner and return the manuscript, felt that she was being hasty, but her unreliable father had already walked to his office with the manuscript.

[Let’s talk to Brother Dubu when he comes back. 】

Nanako thought to herself.

But by the time Kunikida came back from dinner, she had completely forgotten about it and was only engrossed in eating the hamburger.

The next day, for reasons unknown to Nanako, Gogol was deducted another month's pocket money.

"Did you do something wrong?"

After returning from school, Nanako, who was doing her homework, asked Gogol when she heard about Gogol's pocket money being deducted.

Sitting across from Nanako, Gogol, who was copying the words for her, thought for a while, tilted his head, and replied in a speculative tone: "Maybe it's because you shouldn't watch the excitement and pick things up on the road?"

"..." Nanako felt that it was very unconvincing for Luanbu to deduct Gogol's pocket money with this reason after returning from watching the excitement outside every day.

She wanted to continue to bury her head in her math workbook, but before she lowered her head, she noticed a desk next to her that had been empty for several days.That's where Kyoka is, but Kyoka hasn't been in the club for the past few days. Although I haven't heard anyone mention it, Nanako thinks that she probably has something to ask for leave.

"How many days will Kyoka come back to work?" Nanako asked Gogol, since she is in the club every day, she thinks that Gogol should know about Kyoka's leave.

"Are you coming back?" Gogol held a pencil, and followed Nanako's gaze towards Kyoka's desk, "Who knows~... Maybe it's tomorrow, or next week, when she will came back."

Although what Gogol said sounded like Kyoka would be back in two days, after a few days, Kyoka still didn't go back to work at the detective agency.

Echizen came to the school in the afternoon of the end of the mid-term exam. It seems that he originally had a plane ticket to Japan two days ago, but it seems that the weather in the United States is bad, so he had to change the ticket. The plane only landed this morning. Waiting for him When we arrived at school, everyone was already taking the last math test.

Horio blamed Echizen for his behavior of "evading the exam", but after learning that Echizen had to take the make-up exam alone on the weekend, he immediately gloated and laughed at the unlucky Echizen - not only could he not escape the exam, but he even had a Weekends are gone.

The midterm exam was over, there were no club activities, the students chatted, packed their schoolbags, and left the classroom in twos and threes, ready to go home or play somewhere, Nanako and Miwa also walked towards the school gate.

"This math test is so difficult..." Sanlun cried and felt that she might fail the test. On the weekend before the test, she went to the joint school with the basketball team and didn't study much at all. , other subjects are okay, this time the paper is not difficult, the score should not be ugly, but this time the math test is much more difficult than the first year of junior high school, probably worse.

Nanako also felt that the math paper was a little more difficult this time. In the first grade, she basically knew where to start with the last question of the math test after reading the questions, but this time the paper became more difficult. Getting up—or in other words, she was getting closer to the difficulty of the "senior high school entrance examination". It took her some time to figure out what to do with the fill-in-the-blank questions and the last proof question.

"It's okay." Nanako comforted Miwa, "Everyone said just now that math is a bit difficult."

If you want to fail the test together, if you mix in the big team, you won't appear to be doing badly in the test.

"Then I hope everyone will do badly in the exam." Sanlu immediately put his hands together, lowered his head and closed his eyes and prayed to the sky, "—at least then my ranking will not be ugly."

Nanako thinks that Miwa is still a good student who will study hard. She is just too busy, so she can't spend a lot of time on study like other students.In three rounds, she has to study, train, and find time to work, and sometimes she has to take care of her two younger brothers. Even so, her grades are still at the middle level, and she writes her homework honestly every day. It's over.

That's, uh, how should I put it—a very "good boy" kind of student.

At least it is better than Nanako who asks Gogol to copy the words for herself every day.

It was Gogol who came to pick up Nanako today. When Nanako came out, he was sitting on the flower bed by the roadside eating octopus balls. After finishing a box of octopus balls, Nanako also came out with Miwa with her schoolbag on her back.

There is no homework, and there are many students who come out of the school gate after school. Gogol's facial features, which are obviously European, have attracted the attention of many students. He was so eye-catching, the students passing by subconsciously looked at him a few more times, and some students were talking with their peers, but their eyes could not stop drifting there, and the mobile phone in their hand was eager to try.

Gogol was among the spectators, with a smile on his face that didn't even change the curvature of the corners of his mouth, and calmly ate a whole box of octopus balls.

Seeing Nanako coming out, he threw the empty paper box into the trash can beside the stall, stood up, and asked Nanako, "Going back?"

Nanako stopped in front of him, thought for a while, and then answered him: "Go to Hanako's first."

She has been a little lazy recently, and hasn't been to the flower bag house to supervise the flower bag exercise for several days.

But Gogol said to her: "Mr. Kunikida said that he will go to Hanadako's house in the next few days."

"Oh." Hearing that Kunikida was going, Nanako casually gave up her original plan, "Then I won't go."

Gogol and Sanwa greeted each other, the three of them walked together for a while, and separated before a certain intersection. Sanwa went home, and Nanako and Gogol also walked back to the detective agency slowly.

The employees in the club seem to be very busy these days, and they don't know what they are busy with.Just finished the exam, there is no homework today, Nanako helped a clerk to bind a stack of documents, there was nothing to do, so she went to find a comic book on the desk of Chaobo.

She wanted to go to the reception room and read comics on the sofa, but before she could turn around, she heard the door of the detective agency behind her slamming, and someone pushed it open from the outside.

"—Everyone! It's not good! Dun was captured by the enemy!"

Tanizaki hurried in with a panicked face.

Nanako holding a comic book: "..."

She felt that this sentence seemed a little familiar, for example like this↓

【—Big brother!Oh no!Master was captured by monsters again! 】
