After becoming a chaotic daughter

Nanako was walking home.

On her left is Fu Heihui, an elementary school student who is also carrying a schoolbag, but she doesn't know her very well.

On her right is Fu Heihui's big white dog who "claims that it is not his dog but Nanako doubts it is his dog".

The two of them and the dog walked quietly side by side on the street in the afternoon, the sun was bright, there was traffic on the road around them, and there were few pedestrians on the road.It takes more than half an hour to walk from Qinggaku to the apartment where Edogawa's family lives. Nanako is a child who doesn't like to talk, and Fukuroe is also a very "stable" elementary school student, so they just kept silent all the way until they reached the senior level. Front of the building of the apartment building.

Nanako stopped before the entrance of the apartment.

Fukuroi, who followed Nanako all the way without speaking, also stopped, and he turned to look at Nanako, "What's wrong."

Without answering his question, Nanako stood under the steps, stood on tiptoe, poked her head through the automatic sensing glass door to look inside, her upper body leaned forward so much that she was about to fall, and then there was a click, Let the heel of the leather shoe fall back to the ground.

Nanako turned her face away, looked at Fu Heihui blankly, and said to him sternly: "Uncle Administrator is not here, I'm going to the bathroom."

Fu Heihui: "...?"

He couldn't understand why Nanako was saying this to him.

Looking at Megumi Fukuro, who obviously didn't understand what she meant, Nanako thought for a while, and then said to him: "Big dogs are not allowed in the apartment."

"..." He and Nanako looked at each other for a few seconds, and Fuguro Hui replied firmly, "It's not my dog."

[If it wasn't raised by you, is it still raised by me? 】

Standing beside the dog who followed them all the way, Nanako's expression did not fluctuate, trying to convey her thoughts to Fukuroe with her eyes.

Although Nanako's eyes can't see any emotion at all, Fukuroe subtly got what she wanted to express.As an inexperienced primary school student, Fuguro Hui was silent. He got what Nanako meant. However, although he had a guardian Gojo Satoru who was full of trains, he was not "fascinated" by the other party and learned to "open your mouth and come" "'s open-eyed and nonsense skills.

I couldn't think of how to deal with the situation in front of me. If I admit it, I will become a child without public morality who "walks the dog without a leash". If I don't admit it...it seems useless if I don't admit it. After all, Nanako is completely a As if he was already convinced.After being silent for a while, Fu Heihui still chose to repeat his answer just now.

"It's not my dog." After all, he didn't know how to swallow the words.

He said so, and Nanako listened like that—no, Nanako didn't listen at all, she continued to say as if she didn't hear what Fukuihui said at all: "If the dog is brought in, it will be found and will be kicked out."

Fu Heihui: "I didn't raise her..."

"So I can only bring it in secretly." Nanako analyzed it seriously, as if talking to herself.

Fu Heihui: "It's not me..."

"Dogs are not allowed to bark, or they will be discovered." Nanako was still talking.

Fu Heihui: "No..."

"What's the dog's name?" Nanako finally looked at Fukuro Hui and talked to him.

Fu Heihui: "..."

Fu Heihui: "Jade dog."

He gave up, and he found that no matter what he said, Nanako would probably not listen, and no matter how hard he struggled, it seemed useless.

Nanako: "Oh."

She responded like this, then turned her head and said to the jade dog sitting beside her: "New Year Cake, hand in hand."

Nanako stretched out her right hand, Tamama stuck out her tongue, and obediently put one of her paws on it.

"Nian Gao, the other hand."

Nanako stretched out her left hand, so Jade Inu put the other paw on it, wagging its fluffy tail behind her.

Holding the dog's two paws, Nanako shook her hand and said to the dog, "Nian Gao, don't bark."

Jade Dog subconsciously wanted to make a "bark", but just as it opened its big mouth with sharp canine teeth, it was slapped up and down by Nanako's raised hand, and closed its mouth shut.

"You can't bark." Nanako looked at it with dark eyes.

The tail behind the jade dog stood up, and quickly swung from side to side. Seeing that it stopped barking, Nanako let go of her hand holding the dog's mouth in satisfaction.

Fu Heihui who witnessed the whole process: "..."

... What is a rice cake.

And since he has already decided to call it rice cake, why ask him the name of the jade dog.

He watched Nanako poking his head and trotting into the apartment building with Jade Dog, swiping his card to unlock the door, he could only silently follow them and ran into the elevator.

*******

The Edogawa family lived on the sixteenth floor.

Before it was time for office workers to go home, there were not many residents coming and going in the apartment. Nanako slipped back home with the dog and Megumi Fukuro very smoothly, without bumping into anyone along the way.

Ranpo and Gogol were not at home, Nanako took a wet towel to wipe the dog's paws, and then let the dog into the house.With no one in the house, Nanako turned on the TV in the living room for the dog to watch.

Before she finished her homework for today, Fukuroe was still on the way from school when Gojo Satoru carried her to Yokohama without opening her schoolbag, so Nanako moved a chair for Fukuroe, an ordinary elementary school student and An ordinary middle school student buried himself in his homework and started to do his homework honestly, while the big dog was lying on the carpet in the living room watching TV.

There was less homework in elementary school, and Megumi Fushiguro finished her homework earlier than Nanako. When Nanako finished the last copying homework, Megumi Fuguro was already previewing tomorrow's homework.

The wall clock in the study had already pointed to 05:30, and Nanako asked Fukuroe, "When will your father come to pick you up?"

She still remembered that Fu Heihui said that his father and teacher met on the way, and then went to chat together.

Fu Heihui shook his head, and answered her: "Mr. Gojo told me to take the tram tomorrow morning and go back to Tokyo by myself."

On the tram tomorrow morning, Nanako noticed this timing and asked him, "So tonight, are you staying at my house?"

Fu Heihui nodded.

There is no extra guest room at home, and Dad and Gogol don’t know if they will come back tonight, and Nanako doesn’t know where Fu Heihui should sleep, she scratched her head, feeling a little distressed, and quickly gave up to continue Think about it, and prepare to wait until it's time to go to bed at night.

It was almost time for dinner, Nanako got up and went to the living room, and found a stack of small advertisement cards for takeaway from under the TV cabinet.There is no hunger, no food, and no food delivery. Now she can only save a bunch of small cards from various restaurants to order food.

Nanako flipped through a bunch of small cards, and finally called the ramen shop to order three bowls of miso ramen. The ramen would take a while to arrive. Nanako was nestled on the sofa reading manga, Fukuroi sat on the carpet, and the dog Dogs watch TV together.

The news program of the Yokohama local station was playing on the TV. Standing among the crowded crowd in the shopping street, the young lady reporter was smiling and broadcasting the anniversary activities of the shopping street in the past few days.

"...This Sunday is the 32nd anniversary of the establishment of the shopping street. As you can see, the whole shopping street has entered the lively atmosphere of the anniversary celebration. Every store has held various special sales activities to celebrate the anniversary. Celebrating the anniversary festival. Special anniversary dumplings at the dumpling store, commemorative shirts at the clothing store, special book signing activities at the bookstore, and various buy-one-get-one-free lottery activities... Let us interview a few citizens at the scene—this Hello sir!"

The lady reporter stopped a blond man in a suit and leather shoes. The man had an exquisite hairstyle, a neatly tied tie, and a three-piece suit. However, there were seven or eight shopping bags hanging in his arms, and he was holding a bag in his arms. With two packed merchandise boxes.

His back is straight, his walk is windy, he is full of vigor, his face is full of joy and excitement, and he is full of energy, like a rabbit rushing into a carrot field.

"Huh? Oh—hello, Miss reporter!" The man replied, finding the camera very skillfully, and showing a confident smile.

"Hello, sir." The reporter routinely found a topic to chat with, "Are you a foreigner?"

"Oh yes! I came to Japan from North America a few months ago." The man replied kindly.

"You look like you've had a lot of fun, can you tell us about what you bought today?"

"Ah ha ha ha - of course no problem."

Facing the reporter's interview, the man's smile was very hearty, and he generously showed the reporter what he bought - three pans, two frying pans, a milk pot as a gift, 25 sets of tableware that are exactly the same, except for the color The same seven ties, buy a dozen and get three free socks, four copies of "How to Become a Successful Person with High Emotional Intelligence"... a bunch of strange items like that.

While showing it, he still didn’t forget to introduce his thoughts when he bought this kind of thing. He talked endlessly and praised how cost-effective and affordable the anniversary event of the shopping street was. They started calling each other brothers, and finally took the hostess into a furniture store next door with a banner of "buy one (set of sofa) and get one (one pillowcase) free".

Fu Heihui calmly picked up the remote control at hand and changed channels.

The next channel is broadcasting an indoor chat show, and several guests are sitting around a long curved table discussing recent hot topics.

"...This is the social bullying syndrome that is popular on the Internet now." As soon as the bald pedant finished his sentence, the celebrities and idol guests beside him exclaimed in unison, praising how cultured and down-to-earth he is.

Suddenly the doorbell rang at the entrance.

Nanako took the comic book, jumped off the sofa, ran to the entrance and connected the doorbell intercom, a man's voice sounded through the intercom: "Hello, the takeaway is here, please come down and pick up your takeaway."

"En." Nanako responded, and pressed the button to end the communication.

Hearing what was said on the intercom, Fu Heihui consciously climbed up on the carpet, stood in the living room and said to Nanako, "I'll go down and get it."

Too lazy to run downstairs again, Nanako nodded immediately without even thinking about it for a second, and ran to get the change for Fu Heihui.

Fu Heihui went out to get takeaway, while Nanako squatted in the living room, playing with the dog for a while with a cat teasing stick.

--Snapped,

Subtle sound of current tripping

The chandelier above the head flickered suddenly, the air conditioner suddenly stopped running, the TV screen turned into darkness, the sound effects of the program from the TV were lost, and the room suddenly became silent.

power cut.

Nanako raised her head, squatted on the spot, and held the cat teaser for half a minute without moving, but the power was still not restored.She blinked slowly, stood up, and called the property.

"Is there a power outage in the apartment?" she asked the property.

"I'm really sorry. It seems that the main power supply of the apartment has tripped. The company has sent an electrician to repair it. It is expected that the power supply will be restored within half an hour. I am really sorry for causing you trouble..."

The property's liaison officer apologized back and forth several times. Nanako struggled to deal with the "extremely sorry" property. When she hung up the phone, she felt as if she had escaped from a goose's nest.

bang bang,

There was a knock on the door.

Nanako ran to the entrance, and saw through the cat's eyes that the person standing outside was Fu Heihui who had brought the outside, so she opened the door for him.

"The power is out," Nanako said to him.

"...Oh." Fuguro Hui's tone subtly paused, he carried the takeaway ramen, passed by Nanako, and walked into the house.

Nanako felt as if something was burnt wafting past her.

She closed the door a little slower, shrugged her little nose, and smelled the faint burning smell in the air, which was faintly visible, and she didn't know where it came from.

[Maybe it's the neighbor's stir-fry. 】

Nanako, who couldn't find the source of the burnt smell, guessed this in her heart, and then closed the door with a click.

A huge owl flew by outside the window, sparks of electricity flickered among the fluffy down feathers.

A mafia in a ramen shop uniform is owled into the recycling bin at the back of the apartment.
