After becoming a chaotic daughter

Fourteen days, two weeks, less than half a month.

The Armed Detective Agency changed from a hero to a criminal overnight, and from a criminal back to a "hero" overnight.The arrest warrant scrolling on the TV screen has turned into passionate words of praise. The topic that people in the streets and alleys talk about the most these days is the detective agency that "saved the world" and "brought the villain to justice" .

Commissions from all over the country flooded in like a flood, and even rich people from overseas sent commission invitations to the detective agency.

On the one hand, we have to deal with the aftermath of the government, on the other hand, we have to respond to the enthusiastic requests from customers, and on the other hand, we have to give gifts to those who helped the detective agency in the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" incident. During this week, the detective agency went from top to bottom. Down, from the inside to the outside are busy around.

The president had to deal with officials and dignitaries and those rich businessmen, and most of the company's affairs were left to Kunikida to arrange.

As a conscientious office worker, Kunikida is busy every day without touching the ground, with a microphone on his shoulder, a mobile phone in his left hand, and clacking on the keyboard with his right hand. He was busy with work, his eyes were darkened by a lot of work, and while he was cooking at lunch, he didn't forget to ask Oda to catch Dazai who was absent from work.

The detective agency is very busy, but even if the detective agency is so busy, there are still people who are leisurely fishing in the agency.

For example, Dazai who disappears when he has work to do.

For example, no one dared to order him to work in disorder.

Edogawa Ranpo was squatting on his luxurious office chair that "one is more expensive than three", concentrating on folding thousand paper cranes with the detective agency's financial report last month, and beside him, In the corner covered by the big desk, there is a small bench, and a girl with black hair and fur is sitting on the bench.

The girl "grows" like a small mushroom in this small corner, with her head resting on her knees, holding a magazine in her hand, and is burying her head in reading the serialized novels in the magazine. On the cover of the magazine is printed "Wild Times {October}".

Her shoulders leaned against the edge of the cushion of the office chair, and her whole body was tightly pressed against the soft and comfortable leather office chair, but she didn't put all her body weight on it, just clinging like this, her pupils were very dark Without blinking, he stared intently at the magazine in his hand.

This is the sixth day Nanako has been released from the detention center, and it is another Saturday. It has been 20 days since she was "arrested" in the shopping street, and she has not gone to school for more than 20 days.

Although going to school is very important, Nanako, who just came out of the police station, doesn't really want to go to school. She wants to stay at home, or go to the detective agency, and then go to school in a few days.

Ranpo didn't mention asking her to go back to school, and Nanako didn't say anything. The others were too busy to take care of her for a while, so Nanako stayed in the detective agency for another week without going to school.

She followed her father to work at the detective agency every day, moved the small bench and huddled next to his office chair, read books, did problems, or fell asleep in a daze, and then when she got off work, she put the small bench back in the corner and went home with her father I went - oh, yes, and Gogol went home from work and home together.

A thousand paper cranes were folded, and I looked at the thousand paper cranes on the table, left and right, and still felt a little dissatisfied, so I took the thousand paper cranes back and folded them a few times, and then re-folded the thousand paper cranes. Folded two "big long legs", turning the elegant thousand paper crane into a thousand paper crane flapping its wings and running around. This time, he put it back on the table. He looked left and right, and immediately felt pleasing to the eye. too much.

Edogawa Ranpo generously gave his "proud work" to his stupid daughter who was buried in a book next to him.A foolish paper crane with long legs descended from the sky and landed on the magazine Nanako was reading, staring at Nanako.

Nanako: ...

How could this thousand paper cranes be so aggressive.

Not wanting to face a "Dazai Crane", she silently picked up the Thousand Paper Crane that fell on the magazine, raised it over her head, and then put the "Run, Thousand Paper Crane" back on the table.

Edogawa Ranbu didn't notice it, because he had already started to tossing the second paper crane that "spins, jumps and closes its eyes", so he didn't realize that his favorite work was returned by his daughter for no reason in seven seconds .

——Boom,

There was a knock on the door.

But amidst the chaotic footsteps, noisy phone ringing, and clattering documents, this inaudible knock on the door was like a pebble thrown into the sea without even splashing. , was engulfed by a wave of waves that came over.

In the huge office area, the workers were working and the fishers were fishing. No one noticed the faint sound.

After the knocking on the door stopped, it fell into silence for a few seconds, as if waiting for someone to open the door, but after the door was closed for ten seconds,

"……boom!"

The door of the detective agency was opened from the outside.

——In the physical sense, "open" is opened.

I don't know whether it was pushed by hand or kicked, the door creaked and swayed, and the metal hinge connecting the door and the door frame was precarious and crumbling, as if in the next second, the door with the metal nameplate of [Armed Detective Agency] It will crash to the ground.

With the sound of the "earth-shattering" door opening, the busy members in the office area finally noticed the person standing outside the door.

They were two youths in vine green military police uniforms.

The brown-haired young man standing in front still maintains the posture of pushing the door with his hand outstretched. On a face with both "feminine and beautiful" and "resolute and handsome" temperaments, there is an unchanged expressionless face. , the three-point imprint under the left eye, which looks like plum petals, adds a bit of distinctive recognition to him.

"...opened." The brown youth said so, with a very calm and natural tone.

The white-haired young man who was standing half a step back from him had faint veins on his forehead, and the tail of his vermilion hair was like the tail veil of a white carp swaying in the lake.

"Mr. Tiechang, don't you know that there is something called 'doorknob' in this world?" The white-haired young man said this to his colleague, his tone was polite and sarcasm, full of yin and yang.

Su Guang Tieshang: "..."

Suehiro Tiechang: "I forgot."

I forgot to try to see if the door is locked first, so I habitually...

Tiaoye Caiju: "...Then please forget to breathe and die now, I will be very grateful."

Partnering with Su Hiroshi Tiechang is definitely the most unfortunate thing in his life. Tiaoye Caiju held his forehead and sighed unabashedly. Now he just wants to pay Su Hiroshi Tiechang's funeral expenses with this fan. The maintenance cost of the gate will be taken back to the army for reimbursement.

"Ah, it's Mr. Jono and Mr. Suehiro!" Kenji, who was carrying documents half a meter thick, stopped and stood at the door with a bright smile, pushing and pushing each other, obstructing each other from entering the room ahead of him. The two of them greeted each other, "Is there something wrong?"

Squeezing into the detective agency with his arms, Joye Caiju said, "We just dropped by to send Sigma and Koguri Chongtaro's parole approval letter."

As he said, he stopped the childish behavior of elementary school students fighting, and stopped elbowing Mo Guangtiechang, "And the guarantee provided by your detective agency... Puff!"

He was knocked down by Mo Guang Tiechang who had his arms confiscated, and he staggered two steps to the side before covering his ribs, gritted his teeth and raised his head: "Tie, Chang, sir, sir— —”

"..." Suehiro Tieshang hadn't had time to take back the elbow that hit Tino just now, he looked at Tino, and after two seconds of looking at Tino with expressionless face, he suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a Laugh very mockingly:

"Ah."

Tiaoye Caiju: "..."

Not to mention, he is going to kill Mo Guang Tiechang here today, and it won't be easy for anyone to stop him.

Moving the small bench under her butt outside a little, Nanako stuck out half of her head from the edge of the desk to see who was coming outside.

Two young men wearing the same uniform, Nanako didn't know the man with flowing brown hair who seemed to use "Floating ○", and had never seen it before, but the other young man who was talking to him, Nanako was very familiar .

It was the man who questioned her in the reception room on the fourth day of her detention.

Her sight was like a shadow, extending from the corner, fixed on Tiao Ye Caiju's body, the sense of presence was so strong that the person concerned couldn't ignore it, not to mention that the person she was staring at was still sensitive Picking chrysanthemums in the wild is far better than ordinary people.

Even if he couldn't see, Jono Caiju accurately "looked" in the direction of the desk, and his "sight" fell on the half of Nanako's head sticking out, and said with a smile and an amiable tone: " Good afternoon, Miss."

Nanako: "..."

Nanako ignored him, and retracted her head behind the desk.

In the office area, when Tiaoye opened his mouth, everyone's eyes fell on the chaotic desk, and subconsciously stopped their movements.

After all, when Nanako speaks, her voice is always a little low, and if the surrounding environment becomes a little noisy, people will not be able to hear what she said.

Nanako didn't speak, and the members were about to continue their work when they heard Nanako and Ranpo talking from behind the desk.

Ranbu squatting on the office chair tilted his head to Nanako's side, put his ear close to her, and listened to her, while still folding the "Thousand Paper Cranes for Standing Long Jump".

"Dad, that white-haired uncle said earlier that he was going to chop off my hands."

Member: "..."

Jono: "..."

Suehiro: "..."

The detective agency suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Ranbu narrowed his eyes, his gaze was still on the origami crane he was folding, but the origami movement slowed down a bit.

"Any more?" He asked Nanako.

There was silence behind the desk for a while, as if trying to remember, and after two seconds, he continued to speak slowly: "He said he would cut off my face and give you the death penalty, and then I would become An orphan with nowhere to go."

Kunikida, who was standing in front of Jono and was still talking to him just now, his eyes became sharper, and the mirror reflected a cold white light.

Luanbu folded this paper crane, put it aside, looked down at Nanako who was sitting next to his office chair, and continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"

Nanako stopped talking, she lowered her head and stared at the "Wild Age" in her hand.

Tiaoye Caiju also said that she was a "fake daughter" and Luanbu was a "fake father", so Luanbu didn't want her anymore and left her and ran away.But Nanako didn't want to say this, so she kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

She didn't continue to speak, but the two words she said were enough to make Tiaoye Caiju feel a sense of crisis that "something is not good".

A hand was placed on his shoulder from behind, and the voice of a young woman with a cold smile sounded behind his ears. It was the social doctor of the Armed Detective Agency—Yoshino Akiko.

Just a week ago, Jono Choiju was severely injured in the battle with Fukuchi Sakurachi, so he received treatment from the other party.

"Oh, this little brother—I suddenly remembered that when I was helping you with the treatment, it seemed that I accidentally missed a few injuries, and I didn't treat them completely."

The slender hand that was resting on Tiao Ye's shoulder suddenly buckled hard, and the fingertips in black gloves pinched his shoulder.

"This is really rude to me... As an apology, let me take you to the operating room for a thorough treatment——well, well, and treatment."

"..." The smile on Tiaoye Caiju's face was a little stiff.

"Let me help you too." Suehiro Tiechang said with a serious look on his side, pushing the western knife at his waist out of the sheath half an inch with his knuckles on the scabbard.

【…Where is this guy from? 】

Tiaoye Caiju finally couldn't bear it anymore and his face turned black.

"It's an injustice to intimidate young girls. I will report this to the captain." Facing Jono's obviously darkened face, Suehiro still said to him with an upright and unwavering expression, "You should reflect on your bad habits and prepare to accept punishment from the team when you go back."

Nanako didn't look at them, but just stared at the magazine in her hand. There was the sound of someone opening and closing the side door of the office area. What disappeared were the two "guests" and the voices of Yosano and Kenji. .

Under Kunikida's command, the office area quickly became busy in a chaotic and orderly manner.

He squatted on the chair and jumped to the ground, then stretched out his hand and dragged the slipped office chair back, sat on it, supported the armrest of the office chair with his arms, bent down his upper body, and sat on the small bench Nanako looked at her for a while.

One minute passed, and the magazine Nanako was holding still hadn't turned the page.

Nanako does everything slowly, speaks slowly, eats slowly, walks slowly, although she can write faster, as long as she is not in a hurry, she is always used to being slow.

She only reads very fast.Not only faster than her peers, but even faster than many adults. She can read two pages in the time it takes others to read one page.

So Nanako is not actually reading the novel in the magazine now, she is just staring at the novel in a daze.

"What else did he say?" Ranpo asked Nanako, deliberately lowering his voice so that only the two of them could hear it.

Nanako, who was staring down at the magazine in a daze, heard him ask a question, raised her head, stared at him with dark eyes, looked at him for a while, then lowered her head again, her mouth tightly shut Tight, don't speak.

What else did Caiju Jono say—the answer to this question, in fact, even if he didn't ask, Ranpo Edogawa could deduce it.After all, if you want to "intimidate" Nanako, there are only a few things you can say.

Obviously, Nanako was not "intimidated" by his words.

But she still felt a little uneasy.

Because she felt uneasy, Nanako kept shrinking by his side these days, and it was also because of uneasiness that Nanako didn't answer him "What else did Jono say?"

Nanako didn't want to say it, so Edogawa Ranpo didn't ask anymore, as long as she didn't say it, it could be regarded as that everyone didn't remember "that fact".Nanako was originally his stupid daughter, and he was originally Nanako's most reliable father.

- That's right!He was originally Nanako's most reliable father!

Edogawa Ranpo nestled back into the office chair, thinking so confidently in his heart.
