After becoming a chaotic daughter

At 07:30 in the morning, the bedside alarm clock rang on time as usual.

Sleepy, Nanako folded the quilt randomly, pulled on the slippers, and walked out of her bedroom with a sleepy yawn. She saw Fukuroi in the living room who was folding the quilt, and then realized belatedly, Dad And Gogol are not at home.

Last night, Fu Heihui took the old bedding and slept on the floor in the living room.Although Ranbu and Gogol were not there, Fu Heihui did not borrow their room, saying that he could sleep on the sofa in the living room. Compared with the sofa, Nanako felt that it might be more comfortable to sleep on the floor, so she went to Ranbu In the room, I rummaged through the quilt that Ranbu used in the dormitory before and gave it to Fu Heihui.

The most troublesome problem of sleeping has been solved, and everything else is just minor troubles. Although there is no guest room at home, there are disposable toiletries. When I first moved here, I went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of "useless things" "One of them has been in the cabinet for more than a year and has not been touched.Fortunately, this kind of thing will not expire, and it can be used by Fu Hei when it is taken out.

Nanako rubbed her eyes, said good morning to Fukuroe, then dragged on her slippers again, staggered into the bathroom, came out after washing, and went to the kitchen to heat a sandwich for breakfast as usual.

She took out the carton of fresh milk from the refrigerator, poured herself a glass, then took the milk carton and a small saucer, wandered around the house, but couldn't find the one who snored before going to bed last night. big dog.

"Where did the dog go?" Nanako, who was holding a milk box in her left hand and a small plate in her right, wanted to prepare breakfast for the dog but couldn't find the dog. She returned to the restaurant and asked Fukuroi who was sitting at the dining table. road.

Holding a glass half full of milk in his hand, Fukuroe, who had written a draft long before Nanako woke up, was very calm. Facing Nanako's expressionless face, he replied: "Run by yourself in the morning. Went out, probably went home."

Nanako: "..."

Nanako reasonably suspects that Megumi Fukuro is cheating on her.

She still remembered that Fu Heihui said yesterday that he was going back to Tokyo today. If he wanted to "go back" to Tokyo, then the dog must also "go back" to Tokyo.It is thirty or forty kilometers from Yokohama to Tokyo, and it is impossible for a dog to run all the way back on the highway.

But the dog is definitely not at home.

Nanako thought for a while, and guessed that Fugurohui might have let the dog out for a walk. After all, large dogs are always energetic, and they have to walk eight times a day.But letting a dog that is too "free" go out for a walk by itself is obviously more immoral than walking the dog without a leash. At the very least, you should give the dog a rope to let it walk by itself.

Thinking of this, Nanako looked at Fu Heihui with a pair of dark round eyes without blinking, and she said to Fu Hei Hui sternly: "There is a pet supply store at the intersection next to the station."

"?" For a while, I couldn't understand how the topic jumped from "Where did the dog go" to "Where is there a pet supply store?" There was a question mark on Kei Fukuro's head, and she just wanted to ask Nanako, but Nanako had already She turned around and went into the kitchen with the milk carton and saucer, to get her warmed sandwiches.

After breakfast, they went out for a walk with their big dog and hadn't come back yet. Nanako and Fukuroe packed their schoolbags on their backs and got on the bus to Qingxue.

Nanako separated from Fuguro Megumi at the bus stop of Aigaku. She went to school to go to class. Before that, he probably had to go back and look for the dog first. Fukui Hui, who was very stubborn, was still insisting on answering Nanako's question "Don't you want a dog?" dog".

She separated from Fu Heihui at the bus stop in front of the school, and after a long time, Nanako still didn't know why Luanbu asked Fu Heihui to pick her up.

When they were eating ramen together last night, Nanako and Fukuroe had a little conversation.Fuguro Hui said that he was brought to Yokohama from Tokyo by his teacher. The teacher went to do other things, so he picked up Nanako according to Ranpo's instructions, and stayed at Nanako's house for one night by the way.

Nanako thought about it for a while, and felt that the adults had to work and had no time to deal with the two children, so she left them alone to support herself.

As two children with good self-management skills, both Nanako and Fushiguro have adapted well to the absence of their guardians.Although Nanako didn't remember who Fugurohui was in the end, they still passed the night in peace and tranquility.

It’s just that big dogs are a bit noisy. At night, Nanako was awakened several times in a daze by the movement outside, and she felt that she understood why big dogs were not allowed in the apartment.And the weather last night didn't seem too good, there was always thunder outside the window.

Carrying her schoolbag into the classroom, Nanako finished her homework and sat back in her seat.Today's first class is Chinese. She took out her Chinese textbook and heard two girls at the front and back desks in the next group chatting.

Nanako didn't quite remember the name of the classmate with glasses who said: "The morning divination said that Cancer will have bad luck this week."

Nanako also didn't quite remember the name of the curly-haired classmate who immediately "hissed" and took a breath: "No way! I'm a Cancer—no, no, no, divination and so on are all deceptive things, superstitions are out of the question!"

"But if you get through the bad luck safely, you will get a small windfall." The glasses student added.

Curly-haired student was overjoyed immediately: "Really! Xiangjun's new album will be released soon! I still worry about not having enough pocket money!"

Classmate with glasses: "...does superstition matter?"

Classmate Curly: "This is called analyzing specific situations!"

"No, you are self-deceived selective superstition." The glasses student straightened his glasses and complained sharply.

"Then I don't care—" Curly snorted, then looked away, trying to escape with a bleak expression, and asked in a low voice three degrees lower: "By the way, what is the lucky thing for Cancer this week? "

"...You really believe in both." The glasses student rolled his eyes, but still answered her, "I remember it seems to be an ema, do you want to go to the shrine to buy it?... By the way, otherwise By the way, buy another omamori? Go to bad luck. I remember that the shrine next to the station seems to be very spiritual."

"Go, go, let's go, we'll go after school!" Curly immediately responded.

【Okuma】

Nanako noticed this key word.

She remembered what Sanwa said yesterday, asking for a guardian for the injured president.The president doesn't know what's going on, and he doesn't know if the prisoner who attacked the president has been caught. Yesterday when school was over, Ranpo said that he didn't need to go back to the detective agency. That probably meant that everyone in the agency was away, because the president went Is it the hospital?

If it is a general injury, Akiko-san can be treated in the infirmary of the detective agency. Since it is going to be sent to the hospital, is it a serious injury?

Nanako lowered her head and took out her mobile phone from her schoolbag, wanting to send a text message to Ranpo or Kunikida to ask, but she opened the editing window and didn't know what to ask.

If the president is seriously injured, the members in the club must be very busy.Nanako still thinks that at such a time, it is better for her to reduce her sense of existence, so that adults don't have to pay more attention to her.

Thinking of this, she silently stuffed the mobile phone she had just dug out back into her schoolbag, then lay down on the desk and began to read the novels in the Chinese textbook.

Today's last class is Nanako's least favorite physical education class.The physical education class to practice this semester is volleyball. Nanako padded the ball for one class. Although she practiced very hard, she still couldn't plop fifteen balls in a row until the end of class, and she even hit her head. Several times.Fortunately, the volleyball is very light. If it were replaced by a basketball, she would probably be sent to the infirmary if it was hit.

Nanako, who just had a lesson, was so tired that she was sweating profusely. She played three rounds of a volleyball game with her classmates in the next class, but she didn't blush or breathe. After class, she went to the locker room to change into the basketball team's training clothes. Immediately ran to the basketball hall next door for training.

Physical education has always been Nanako's weakness. Whether she can pass depends on the kindness of the teacher. The basic long-distance running, long jump and other events are like this, and the ball games that require skill are even more difficult. During the final exam, the three rounds are for her. To pass the exam, you always have to feed the ball in a fancy way, and every time you play harder than Nanako, a rookie.

After changing into her summer school uniform in the locker room, Nanako squatted by the steps of the volleyball hall, rested for a while, and then dragged her schoolbag and walked slowly towards the school gate.

It was still the first week of school, and there were still many students who left school to go home or play because there were no activities after school today. The bus stops were full of students wearing green or dark school uniforms.

Not wanting to squeeze any more cans, Nanako just stood at the school gate and looked at the platform, then turned around and walked towards the detective agency.

No one came to pick her up at the school gate, and she didn't receive any calls or text messages from Ranpo, so Nanako decided to move back to the detective agency first.If there is no one in the shrine, then she will go home after eating the cake at the coffee shop, or go to a nearby shrine to buy an omamori for the president before going home.If there is someone in the club, she will ask the president which hospital he is in, and then go to see the president.

Nanako walked the road from Qingxue back to the detective agency several times, and she was familiar with the scenery along the way. Japanese middle schools also leave early, so sometimes Nanako walked slowly back to the detective agency because she didn't want to take the bus.

The weather was a bit hot, so Nanako bought small popsicles from a small shop on the side of the road to eat.During the summer vacation, I had a stomachache because I ate two ice creams, so Nanako doesn’t dare to eat too much ice now, and only dares to eat the smallest kind of popsicles, 50 yen a piece, sucking and eating slowly, if If you gnaw it, you can finish it in just two bites.

Nanako chewed on a small popsicle and was walking back to the detective agency. When passing a crossroad, she saw an armed escort vehicle parked in front of a crosswalk waiting for a traffic light.

She had seen this kind of car before, and Luanbu told her that it was only used when transporting dangerous criminals or important evidence.Nanako guessed that this should have been transferred to the prisoner, otherwise, the escort car would not have had so much room to wait for the traffic lights here, and would have rushed through ten or eight red lights to arrest the scene.

The traffic light on the opposite side of the street was already counting down, Nanako quickly trotted across the road, and as soon as she ran to the opposite sidewalk, she heard the sound of traffic behind her.

The armed escort vehicle drove away smoothly and quickly.

Turning a corner, Nanako carried her schoolbag and sucked on a popsicle, and continued to walk forward slowly.

Not far in front is an open-air coffee shop, propped up by huge parasols, like colorful mushrooms, and white round tables are arranged in a patchwork manner at the entrance of the shop.I don't know if it was because the weather was too hot, but there were no customers sitting at the round table. A man who looked like the owner was standing at the door, talking to a few people in formal work clothes.

At the only round table with guests, Nanako saw a familiar figure.

The young man turned his back to her, but Nanako could recognize who it was just by looking at his back. After all, it might be common to see people wearing sand-colored long trench coats in summer, but wearing sand-colored long trench coats in summer, the wrists and neck are still Someone with a bandage on, that's certainly not that common.

There was a blond man sitting opposite the young man. Nanako didn't know him. The two of them were talking, as if they were just chatting over afternoon tea.

Nanako walked over and stood behind the young man, with a popsicle in her mouth, she called out abruptly:

"Dazai."

Dazai, who was talking with the blond man, stopped talking, turned his head, and saw Nanako standing behind him with a schoolbag on his back, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Ah, little Nanako~" After a brief surprise, Dazai immediately put on a smile on his face, leaning his elbow on the back of the chair, he raised his other hand to greet Nanako, "Is school over? Wait a minute Shall we go back to the detective agency together?"

"..." Nanako looked at her without speaking, her swarthy eyes were like buttons embedded in the eye sockets of a doll, and she did not move.

She originally wanted to ask Dazai "why you're not at work", but as soon as this thought came to her mind, she swallowed it back by herself.

After all, it’s normal for Dazai not to go to work. Her idiot father Luanbo goes to work to catch fish, and Dazai doesn’t even go to work. While pulling down the attendance rate of the entire detective agency by himself, he also raised the country’s Kida should have a healthy blood pressure.

So Nanako thought about it, and called him again: "Dazai."

"What's wrong?" Dazai asked with a smile.

"Why aren't you in the river?" Nanako asked.

Dazai: "Huh?"
