After becoming a chaotic daughter

It is very common for members of a detective agency to be kidnapped.

The longest-serving clerk in the club has so far had a brilliant experience of being held hostage 31 times, kidnapped 22 times, and lured 57 times. Regarding the matter of "rescuing a member", even the staff in the coffee shop downstairs The waiters and aunts are used to it.

But being kidnapped is common, and being kidnapped twice within less than a month after joining the agency is not uncommon. With his own efforts, Dun has completed the "Number of Abductions Index of Members" of the detective agency this month, which is really a talent.

Nanako doesn't really understand why Atsushi is so easy to be kidnapped. After all, compared to the clerks in the club who struggle to change the buckets of the drinking fountains, Atsushi, a spirited boy at the age of eighteen, should be more combative no matter how you look at it. Some are right. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be his turn to be kidnapped.

But that's the way it is, maybe Tun himself looks like a piece of fragrant steamed buns, all in all, he was kidnapped again today.

The employees of the agency went to the conference room to gather for a meeting again to discuss how to rescue this newcomer who had just joined the agency for a month.As an ordinary junior high school student, Nanako can only study, and can't help with this kind of thing, so she sat on the sofa and read manga for a while, then ran downstairs to the coffee shop by herself, looking for the dog that lay down every day. The three-flowered cat at the entrance of the cafe played.

Unlike the previous kidnapping experience, Dun was taken away for a long time this time. A week has passed, and he has not been rescued yet.Not only Dun, but Jinghua, who had been on leave for several days, did not return to work in the agency.

Kyoka asked for leave almost as long as she had been working since joining the company. Nanako went to ask Yosano, who told Yosano that Kyoka was not asking for leave, but was doing other "important work".

"Is it important?" Nanako asked Yosano.

"Yes." Yu Xie Ye looked down at her, with a soft smile on his face, and patiently answered her question, "It's very important 'work'."

Nanako didn't understand, since it was such an important job, why would it be given to children.But she didn't say it. After all, although Kyoka is 14 years old like her, and compared to "adults", she is still a "children" age, but Kyoka can hide a short knife in her sleeve A girl is probably completely different from a pure waste like her.

*******

weekend.

The tea leaves in the club have all been brewed, but the members have been very busy recently and have no time to go out to buy. Nanako and Gogol were "assigned" the task of running errands, and they went to the shopping street to buy tea together in the afternoon.

They bought several kinds of tea leaves that the agency always had in the shop that the detective agency frequented, and after they left the store with bags, they bought crepes at a roadside stall to eat.Gogol was deducted two months of pocket money, so his share of crepes was bought for him by Nanako.

Sitting on a bench by the side of the road, Nanako was concentrating on eating a crepe, when suddenly two balls of fluffy things approached from the edge of her field of vision.

It is a raccoon that Nanako looks familiar to, and a cat that Nanako also looks familiar to.Two small animals were sitting in a row on the ground in front of her and Gogol, with their heads up, their big fluffy tails wagging back and forth, and their small black eyes and round blue eyes staring in unison. Crepes in the hands of Nanako and Gogol.

The cat has a very fluffy white long hair, the hair covering the ears and limbs is brown, and there is a round brown hair in the middle of the face, which occupies almost the entire face, as if it was covered with a face chocolate sauce.It was a cat that Nanako had seen but didn't know the name of the breed. Echizen's family had a cat of this breed. Nanako had seen photos on his SNS, and it looked very similar to the one in front of her.

However, this breed of cat is not uncommon in Yokohama. In contrast, raccoons are not very common in Yokohama. Nanako doubts that this raccoon is the pet raccoon raised by Mr. Long Liu Hai. She tried hard to recall, Then yelled at the raccoon, "...Carl."

"Jiujiu!" The raccoon sitting in front of him heard her cry, and immediately stood up, holding up his little paw.

"Meow~" The cat next to her also yelled.

Nanako passed the crepe in her hand, and the raccoon standing in front of her stretched out its paws, holding the crepe.The raccoon rubbed the crepes with its tiny paws, touched them carefully with its nose, and then lowered its head and began to nibble on the crepes.

The cat on one side saw it, turned its round head left and right, and soon turned its attention to the crepe in Gogol's hand.

"Meow~meow~" the cat called to Gogol, its blue eyes full of anticipation.

Nanako also turned to look at Gogol, nothing could be seen in her swarthy eyes, she just stared at him like that.

"...Maybe we can buy two more crepes?" Gogol tried to make a suggestion to Nanako while holding the crepe that he had just taken a few bites of.

But Nanako rejected his suggestion with a shaking of her head: "It will cost money."

One crepe costs 450 yen. It's fine if you buy two, but if you buy four, she doesn't want to spend so much money.

Gogol was forced to hand in the crepes Nanako bought for him.

Nanako actually doesn’t like crepes very much. Although she often eats cakes, they are also desserts. Crepes are desserts wrapped in cream and fillings. When you eat them, it feels like eating cream. There is no difference between many fruit salads, except that there are more layers of soft cakes. Nanako still prefers to eat cakes.

There was no crepe to eat, so she squatted down, watched the two fluffy animals eating, reached out to pet the raccoon, and then petted the cat, and finally came to the conclusion that the fur of the cat was softer and softer. More comfortable, the raccoon fur is a bit stiffer to the touch.

After eating the crepes, the raccoon and the cat walked around Nanako twice, then walked slowly together, and walked towards the other side of the street.Nanako also walked with them, as if walking her own pet raccoon and pet cat.

Holding the bag of tea leaves, Gogol followed Nanako, walking side by side with her.He turned his head and looked at Nanako for a while. Nanako's eyes were glued to the raccoon and cat, as if she was following them seriously.

"Do you want to keep a pet?" Gogol asked Nanako suddenly, his tone was very casual, and the braid hanging behind him swayed slightly with his walking movements.

Nanako looked at the two small animals running, jumping, and fighting all the way ahead, her dark eyes never blinking, her eyes were fixed.

"No more." She replied to Gogol, without any fluctuation in tone.

"Already?" Gogol repeated the syllable, raising his slender eyebrows.

Nanako: "...!"

Oops, I'm talking bald.

She quickly thought about how to prevent Gogol from finding out ["Raise Guoguoli" and "Raise Dogs" seem to be rounded the same), but she hasn't figured out how to fool Gogol. Hearing Gogol ask her again:

"Don't you have dogs?"

Nanako: "..."

She turned her head, stared at Gogol with dark round eyes for a few seconds, and then opened her mouth:

"Wang."

"?" Gogol tilted his head to her side, his bright golden eyes met Nanako's, and he said in an uncertain tone, "Wow?"

Nanako looked at him for another second, then blinked and turned her head away.

She closed her mouth and stopped talking, and Gogol didn't ask her again.

[Okay, it's over. 】

Nanako, who was expressionless, thought in her heart.

As long as the topic becomes more and more distorted, Gogol will never remember to ask what "le" means.

Today's weather is fine, the breeze is blowing, and the sun is warm. Nanako walked with the raccoon and cat for a while, which was considered an afternoon walk.After leaving the commercial area, walk a little further along the street, and you will find a quiet high-end residential area, a piece of land where every inch of land is expensive.

The raccoon and the cat stopped outside a house, and Nanako also stopped.There was no sign with the surname on the door that most people would have. The raccoon quickly climbed up the fence, and then stretched out its paw to pat the doorbell on the wall.

A human voice quickly rang through the intercom next to the doorbell.

"Who?!" It was a very wary tone, and the volume was very low. If the person speaking was right in front of him, it would be like hiding five meters away from the person, shrinking his body and asking questions with a vigilant expression.

The raccoon chirped twice, and the voice on the intercom immediately changed from vigilant to relieved.

"Ah, so it's Karl? Are you back? I'm going to open the door for you right now, stay there obediently and don't run around. Really, how could you sneak out by yourself again..."

The voice gradually weakened. It was the speaker who left the intercom in the room and came out to open the door.

Soon, Edgar Allan Poe, wearing a woolen vest and shirt at home, came out of the house. As soon as he went out, he saw Nanako's and Gogol standing outside the yard.

"Ranbu Jun's daughter?" Edgar paused, but immediately seemed to think of something, and his tone suddenly became high and surging, "Is Ranbu Jun coming to visit us? Ranbu Where is Mr.? Will you arrive later? Or did Mr. Ranpo ask you to take a look at my residence first? We have prepared the puzzles and are just waiting for Mr. Ranpo to come! Mr. Ranpo did not come Is it? Or is it time to discuss with me first?——We have time at any time! Even if there are other things, before the duel with my Ranpo-kun, the only choice is to back away..."

[... so energetic. 】

Looking at Edgar Allan Poe who suddenly started talking non-stop, Nanako thought silently in her heart.

"Father is not here. I followed the raccoon on the way to buy things." She raised her head and said to Poe in a flat tone, "I'll be back later."

Edgar Allan Poe's hand raised because of his passionate speech suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then fell down like a kite with a broken string.

"Is that so?" With a somewhat disappointed tone, Poe quickly lifted his spirits again, "Sure enough, Mr. Ranbu, such a psychological game must be in your calculations—but even if it takes a long time It doesn't matter if you wait, we won't shake our will just because of this little difficulty."

"By the way," he quickly thought of a new idea, and invited Nanako, "Would you like to come to my residence for a while?"

——It is best to let the daughter of Mr. Ranbu feel how extraordinary his residence is. As long as he has seen the place he spent several days carefully arranging, the daughter of Mr. Ranbu will definitely be deeply shocked. All this tells Mr. Luanbu that by then, Mr. Luanbu will definitely come to visit him in person, and be amazed by his carefully arranged house!

So classy!

So subtle and grotesque!

So rigorous yet romantic!

Edgar Allan Poe had already imagined such a scene with excitement.

【…】

【He is so lively. 】

Although I have only met Poe "twice", but in the two meetings, Poe talked a lot, even if he was the only one talking, he could chatter for a long time, which made Nanako feel uncomfortable He added a new label - [Talking Tuberculosis].

Not very good at dealing with "chatters", Nanako has already begun to think about how to refuse the other party's invitation—pretend not to hear or push Gogol away—and then heard Poe continue:

"...It happened that the restaurant with three Michelin stars brought tea for afternoon tea just now. The pastry chef's cream cake tastes the most sweet and smooth. It is really a dessert that cannot be missed during afternoon tea."

It is very impolite to refuse someone's kind invitation, so as a polite child, Nanako dragged Gogol and followed Poe into the house without thinking about it.
