After becoming a chaotic daughter

A very serious question was placed in front of Nanako at this moment.

This cat, this fluffy cat that appeared to her with the raccoon, but was neither hers nor Mr. Long Bangs - where did it come from?

Nanako originally thought that this cat was also raised by Mr. Long Bangs, but like a raccoon, she has a good sense of self-management, so the two fluffy cats went out for a walk together, but the fact is that Mr. Long Bangs didn’t know him either. This cat probably just thought that she brought the cat, so she let the cat in together.

She looked puzzled at the cat who got mixed into them without knowing what was going on, and Poe also looked at her who was "looking at the cat confused" with a pensive look. Within two seconds, Edgar Allan Poe had a flash of inspiration, and suggested in a pleasant tone:

"Since I don't know where this cat came from, why not call Ranbu-kun here, and find the owner of this cat to decide the outcome of the competition. We will definitely—"

"Hey...three rounds."

Nanako's flat voice interrupted his high-spirited words.

Holding the mobile phone close to her ear, Nanako dialed Miwa's number, and when she heard Miwa's familiar voice from the phone, she asked Miwa, "Do you know the number of Echizen's number?"

"Echizen?" The tone of Sanwa on the other side of the phone was a little surprised, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly ask for Echizen's call?...Did something happen?"

"Hmm." Nanako thought for a while, and then expressed herself in the shortest sentence, "I picked up a cat on the road, and it looks a bit like the one in Echizen."

"That's right... just wait for a while, I'll help you find the monitor and ask, and I'll send you a message later."

The class leader has the contact information of the whole class, but Nanako does not have the contact information of the class leader. It seems that she told the whole class in class when she first entered the first grade, but Nanako didn't remember it at the time.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Miwa sent a series of numbers, and Nanako replied her with an emoticon pack of [hamster bows thank you.jpg], and then dialed the mobile phone number sent by Miwa.

She dialed three times patiently, and the owner of the number answered the phone.

"Huh...huh...Hello?...This is Echizen, whoo...who?" Echizen's panting voice came from the receiver, his breathing was unsteady, as if he was running.

"Edogawa." Nanako answered him dryly.

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a second, he seemed to have stopped running, his breathing was a little calmer, not as fast as before: "Edogawa?... What's the matter?"

"I picked up a cat." Nanako scratched her head, "It seems to be the same as your cat at home."

She originally wanted to ask Echizen if any cats were lost at home, and if not, did he know if there was any "Cat Club" in Yokohama, and asked if anyone lost a cat, but she didn't finish her sentence. I heard Echizen ask in a somewhat hasty tone: "Is Karubin with you?"

This is the first time Nanako has heard Echizen's anxious tone. He usually looks like a cold and cool guy in school. It is understandable that adolescent boys like to play cool Nanako, but most boys who try to act cool just want to be cool. Will overturn, only Echizen stands out among the boys in the same grade. He is so cool, unconventional, and natural, so he successfully captured a bunch of support team members.

But Nanako looked down at the cat that was rubbing against her feet again, and she suddenly understood.

【--oh.Echizen is a cat slave. 】

After Echizen asked for the address, he hung up the phone hastily.Nanako stuffed the phone back into her pocket, then turned her head, and said to Edgar Allan Poe who was crouching in the corner, "I found it."

It took less than 5 minutes before and after.

"...Damn it, it's a great time for us to confront Ranpo-kun--!...Is it true that we can only wait for Ranpo's visit? Woohoo... Karl, you are the only one who will accompany us through this long waiting time Oh...ah, it hurts—don't bite my hand, at least don't bite my right hand with which I write..."

Edgar Allan Poe, who was crouching in the corner, exuded a dejected atmosphere, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head, and whispered to Carl, who was standing upright in front of him.

Nanako: "..."

She always felt that Mr. Long Bangs looked a bit like a flower bag.

The flower bag also often mumbles some strange words to itself, but the flower bag is not as lively as Mr. Long Liu Hai... No, the flower bag seems to be quite lively?

Echizen Ryoma appeared outside the courtyard of the Western-style building 10 minutes later.

He was wearing a light tracksuit with short sleeves and shorts. He ran all the way, his clothes and hair were soaked in sweat, he was panting heavily with his knees propped up, and he looked exhausted.

But when he saw Karubin who was playing with Nanako in the yard, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Carubin." He called out.

The Himalayan cat stopped flopping, shifted its attention from the blade of grass in Nanako's hand to the boy outside the door, and immediately ran over shaking its head.

"Meow~!" Stopping at Echizen's feet, Karubin straightened up and patted Echizen's leg with his paw.

A relieved expression was evident on his face, Echizen leaned over to pick up his cat, stroked its fur, and gradually calmed down the disordered breathing caused by running all the way.

He raised his head and looked at Nanako in the yard.

"...Thanks." Echizen said to Nanako, "There are traffic accidents everywhere, and you can't get a taxi on the street. I came here from [-]-chome, so it took a while."

"Everywhere...?" Nanako noticed his strange-sounding statement.

"?" Echizen also looked at her with a strange expression, "Don't you know?"

Nanako: "?"

What should she know?

"It seems to be an attack by a violent gang." Finding that Nanako really didn't know, Echizen said a few words and told her what happened in the urban area in the afternoon, "After three o'clock, there were rear-end collisions on many roads in the urban area. And the car bombing incident, all the roads near the city center were blocked because of this.”

"..." Nanako realized that she really didn't seem to know.

She stayed at Mr. Chang Liuhai's house for almost two hours. This is a quiet residential area, and the sound insulation of the house is very good. She couldn't hear anything outside. She was completely unaware that another crime had occurred in Yokohama.

"I'll go back first, see you at school." After finding Karubin, Echizen said goodbye to Nanako.

"Goodbye." Nanako watched him leave with the cat in his arms.

It was dusk, and she had to go back to the detective agency with Gogol, because it took another half an hour to wait for Echizen, and according to Echizen, it seems that there is no taxi on the road outside, so she can only walk back. She had to walk quickly, or she would make a phone call later in the day.

Nanako wanted to say goodbye to Mr. Long Liu Hai, but the other party was squatting in the corner, talking to Carl in a low voice with a serious face, as if he was completely immersed in his own world.Nanako felt that it was better not to bother him, so she silently reached out and took Gogol's sleeve and left.

"Guoguoli."

"what?"

"Echizen said that there are no taxis on the road now."

"Um...so?"

"Can you carry me on your back?"

"But it will take more than half an hour to walk back to the detective agency from here?"

"Well, so can you carry me?" Nanako, who didn't want to walk, raised her expressionless face and asked Gogol.

Gogol showed a very embarrassed look, shook his head and "considered" for a long time, and then "reluctantly" proposed the terms of exchange: "If you buy me a crepe tomorrow."

A crepe is 450 yen. If you take a taxi back to the detective agency, it will cost about 1500 yen, which is enough to buy three crepes.

Nanako took out her coin purse from her pocket, then lowered her head and turned over a 500 yen coin, and put it in Gogol's hand.

"Back me." She raised her head again, and said to Gogol in a still flat tone, with a different tone, and the specific performance was probably that the sentence pattern changed from an inquiry to an objective statement.

Guoguoli: "..."

*******

A week later.

"Have you heard? What happened yesterday evening!"

"Ah, that's what you're talking about! The giant airship that crashed into Tokyo Bay—"

"That's right! I happened to go out with my family yesterday evening, and I took a photo when I was driving across the sea-crossing bridge!"

"What? Let me see let me see!"

"I want to see it too, I want to see it too!"

"After school, let's go to the coastal trail and take a photo with the airship in Tokyo Bay!"

"..."

——Recently, Yokohama is a little less peaceful.

From the forcible demolition of an office building in the city center in the middle of the night, to the vicious attack last weekend that paralyzed the traffic in the city, and to the crash of a huge airship in Tokyo Bay last night, there were also various fragments of " "Little things", although it was not as chaotic as the [the most vicious mafia fight event in the past 20 years] that was later called the "Dragon Head War" a few years ago, it also caused a lot of large commotions one after another.In school, the students in the class keep up with hot topics every day, which is comparable to the condensed version of sns.

But for Nanako, compared to these “thunder and rain” attacks—the sound of the airship crashing into Tokyo Bay was really loud yesterday evening—she still felt that she would soon face “that incident.” matter", which is obviously more lethal.

The class bell rang, and the chatting students returned to their work one after another.Monday morning was a routine morning meeting class, and the head teacher, Mr. Nakamura, stepped on the bell and walked into the classroom.

Standing on the podium, he dropped a blockbuster that was like a bolt from the blue to the students:

"Today's morning meeting, let's talk about the midterm exam first. The results and rankings are out. Hira, please send out the transcript."

As his words fell, the study committee member Hiraga Yumi got up on the stage to take the report card, the class suddenly wailed, even the best students tensed up, Nanako sat on the chair, motionless Like a piece of wood.

"First of all, let me talk about the overall situation of our class this time. The papers this time are basically relatively simple, and the ranking of our class... and then some personal situations in the class. The No. 1 in the class is Edogawa, and she is also the No. 1 in the grade. [-], but this time the paper didn’t—”

"Oh-oh--" Mr. Nakamura hadn't finished speaking, and some lively students below began to slap the table excitedly and booed, "The number one in grade has returned to our class again!"

"Kill him back!"

"Hey! Is that how the word is used?"

"Never mind him!"

"Then who is the second grader this time?" Someone asked, which immediately aroused the echo of others.

"Yes, who is the second?"

Mr. Nakamura: "...Shota Koike from the fifth group."

Although the students were so boisterous that he didn't want to talk about it, but the ranking of the top [-] in the grade was public, and the bulletin board would be replaced with a new ranking list during the lunch break, and they could see it by themselves.

But without waiting for the students below to make a fuss, Mr. Nakamura immediately added: "The difference between Koike and Edogawa is only one point."

"Teacher! You said it yourself! One point is worth one point!" Some students still raised their hands and shouted.

Mr. Nakamura: "...that's also Edogawa's score! If you have a little ambition, you can get the first place in the grade by yourself."

Another person raised his hand: "Teacher—I have ambition but no IQ, what should I do!"

Mr. Nakamura: "...then go change your mind!"

The class was full of laughter and laughter, and the heavy atmosphere of soon to know the grades was disturbed.The study committee member Hiraga handed out the report card, and the students who got the report card looked around. Although it was said that the grades after the twentieth grade were not made public, in fact, the students asked each other in private, and it was also helpful. You can know all about it.

Nanako got the report card, opened it and looked at it.During the mid-term exam this time, she carefully checked every exam, and she didn't make the super big mistake like [42 points] at the end of last semester. The scores of the four exams were all about the same as her own estimated scores.

She stuffed the report card into her schoolbag and was about to take it back and stamp it. Teacher Nakamura, who was standing on the podium, saw that the students had all received their report cards. She raised her hand and patted the table. The chaotic class quickly fell silent.

"Then let me inform you of two more things." After talking about the results of the midterm exam, Mr. Nakamura spoke in a more casual tone, "This year's school's routine physical examination schedule for the school year has been announced, and it will be next Monday. Pay attention to diet and sleep, don’t overeat suddenly or stay up late, which will affect the results of the physical examination. After the physical examination, next Wednesday, "

"—It's the physical fitness test for this school year."

Nanako's dark and dull eyes suddenly became more hollow when she heard the last short sentence, like a page covered with black crayon.

……what.

Her least favorite thing is still here.
