After becoming a chaotic daughter
Chapter 188
Before today, Nanako had never noticed it.
It turned out that the "orphan rate" in Japan was so high that there were only five people at the scene. She asked casually, and including herself, there were four people who were essentially "orphans".
"Haven't you noticed?"
After Nanako finished eating the strawberry mousse, Gogol left the coffee shop with her. He pushed open the somewhat heavy glass door of the cafe, turned sideways to let Nanako go out first, and then retracted the glass door. The hand of the door jumped down the steps of the store in two or three steps.
He asked Nanako in a natural tone, but Nanako couldn't understand what he meant by "pay attention" for a while, so she tilted her head in confusion.
Gogol stood firmly beside her, and walked towards the entrance of the office building together with her, and said slowly as if telling a story: "People who have no parents or no family are by our side. Aren't there many people?"
"...A lot?" Nanako scratched her head, she had never thought about this question before.
"Of course." Gogol held up his fingers and counted them one by one, "For example, Dun Jun was born in an orphanage."
Nanako nodded, she knew this: "Yeah."
"And Miss Jinghua, her parents were also killed."
"...!" Nanako didn't know about this, she always thought that Kyoka was a "rebellious mid-term girl who ran away from home" and was created by a character...so it wasn't!
"For another example, Mr. Oda, although he adopted Kosuke-kun and the others, Mr. Oda basically has no blood relatives."
"...Hmm." This Nanako didn't think about it, she just vaguely felt that Oda Sakunosuke was "an old bachelor father who raised five children alone (this number has now increased to nine)".
However, Oda seems to stay with the adopted Kosuke and the others during the Chinese New Year. There is no such thing as "going back to his hometown" or "visiting relatives". No surprise at all.
Most of the investigators in the detective agency are orphans, and even one or two of the clerks have passed away their parents. Nanako listened to Gogol count them one by one, and felt that having a "father" seemed to be counted. It is "well-off".
"...So you see, you have no parents or relatives—there are many such people around you?" Gogol finally concluded, "But even if there is 'no', it’s no big deal, big Most people can still grow up normally."
What he said was actually quite right, like even if Nanako didn't call Ranpo "Daddy" and was sent to an orphanage, she would probably be able to grow up normally, and the worst would be to suffer more.In this world, there are many people who grew up in such an "ordinary" and "a little difficult" way.
But Nanako's focus is actually not this.
She said "Oh", and then said dryly: "But I want to know how to talk to 'relatives'."
"?" Gogol paused when he stepped into the office building, he turned his face, looked at Nanako with his golden eyes, blinked in confusion, and asked at the same time as his steps fell: "How do you get along with Chaos?" Mr. Bu talking?"
What a strange question, but actually, Gogol felt that even if Nanako didn't speak, Mr. Ranpo would understand her perfectly.
Nanako shook her head. She followed Gogol into the office building, stood in front of the elevator, and waited for the elevator to come down from the law firm on the third floor. The aunt of the eyes" thing.
The elevator door slowly opened in front of them with a clear sound of "ding". Nanako raised her head subconsciously and wanted to get into the elevator, but she found Gogo standing half a step in front of her. Li didn't move, and stood motionless at the door of the open elevator car.
He turned half of his face to one side, slightly tilted towards Nanako's side, lowered his head slightly, his beautiful golden eyes did not blink, and his eyes fell on Nanako's face, and he didn't know that he had already looked like this Nanako for a few seconds.
"Who do you think of?" Gogol asked, with a slightly curious tone, and his eyes were innocently asking like a child.
The matter is a bit complicated, even if Nanako wants to talk about it, she doesn't know where to start... Or in fact, she doesn't quite understand what it is like now, maybe that aunt is actually just a person who was blocked by her It was just a coincidence that the ordinary client outside the door had black eyes. In that case, this matter was actually "nothing".
She thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to adopt the "perfunctory answer method" that she most often used to fool Gogol. As for whether Gogol could understand or not, she didn't care.
"I saw an aunt..."
"The aunt who looks a bit like you?"
Nanako had just begun to speak, when Gogol asked.
Nanako: "..."
Can this also be answered?
"In summer, I saw her once in a coffee shop." Gogol reminded Nanako very intimately.
When he said this, Nanako also remembered that during the summer vacation, when she first met that aunt, Gogol seemed to have said that he had seen her in the coffee shop, but Nanako only Thinking about eating ice cream, she ignored his words—or maybe it was because she didn't want to accept what Gogol said.
"Last week, I saw her again." Nanako said, "She seems to be coming to the detective agency."
Gogol thought about it, thought over and over again, and vaguely understood what Nanako was thinking.
"You don't want Mr. Ranpo to see her." Gogol said confidently.
"Yeah." Nanako nodded, pursed her lips, and added, "...if she is, my 'relative'."
Gogol looked at Nanako again. In his mind, he put together Nanako's appearance and the woman's appearance in his memory, and compared them carefully.
Although there are many differences, for example, the woman's facial features will appear more "gentle", and the eye shape is slightly narrower than Nanako's, but if they stand together, they seem to be related by blood It's a real person, especially those dark black eyes.
It is not impossible for two unrelated people in the world to look alike, but if a woman who looks like Nanako comes near the detective agency and seems to be looking for someone, then they will The probability is that there will be some blood relationship.
"If she wants to pick you up, will you go?" Gogol looked at Nanako and asked, the little face that was not very bloody was expressionless as always, and no emotion could be seen.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pressed the button to go upstairs again, because the elevator door, which had closed automatically when the time came, opened again, but Gogol did not immediately step into the elevator car, but just kept pressing the elevator button like this , so that the elevator doors will no longer close automatically.
"I don't know her." Nanako replied to Gogol. She felt that she should say something else, such as "I don't want to go with her", but she felt that nothing seemed right. Finally, she bent down, slipped under Gogol's arm, stepped into the elevator car with a bang, stopped in the middle of the elevator car and stood up.
"That auntie, she didn't want to pick me up." She said to Gogol, her tone didn't fluctuate at all, unlike when ordinary people speak Japanese, the syllables will stick together vaguely, but each syllable They all vomited clearly, but they didn't look stiff, and they sounded serious.
Gogol let out a "huh" and didn't know if he understood what Nanako was saying. Nanako felt that he didn't understand. After all, the aunt wanted to pick up "Nanako" instead of "her". This kind of thing is impossible for normal people to imagine.
Gogol also entered the elevator, and the button for the fourth floor was pressed, and the elevator was pulled up slowly, rising slowly bit by bit.
"Do you want to talk to that aunt yourself?" Gogol asked again.
He seems to have turned into a walking "One Hundred Thousand Whys", throwing questions to Nanako one after another, but he will not "ask himself" like the genuine "One Hundred Thousand Whys" and then continue " Self-answer", but looked at Nanako, her slender eyebrows raised, the arc of her mouth did not fall when she spoke, and her golden eyes slightly curved.
"Tell her you won't go with her, tell her not to go to Mr. Ranpo, tell her that you have a 'dad' now - something like that... Do you want to talk to that aunt yourself ?”
He repeated the same question twice, and finally gave his own opinion: "If you let Mr. Ranpo know that you did this-it's like swallowing the key in your stomach , he will definitely let you have no small cakes for afternoon tea for a month."
The elevator reached the fourth floor. Nanako slowly moved out of the elevator and stood in the corridor. The metal elevator door slowly closed behind her. She scratched the back of her head and blinked her dark round eyes twice before turning around. He turned his head and looked at Gogol who was standing beside him.
"What do you mean by 'swallowing the key into your stomach'?" She didn't understand this sentence. Although she knew that she was probably referring to something, she didn't know what Gogol was referring to.
"'The caged bird swallowed the key.'" Gogol said leisurely, as if reciting a song from a fairy tale, "—that's it, literally."
【…】
Nanako still didn't understand, she turned her brain for a long time, and finally remembered a word inexplicably.
- Suicide by swallowing gold.
I feel that I can recommend it to Dazai. Although it seems that there is no suitable size of "gold" in the detective agency (after all, Dazai can't let Dazai swallow a gold trophy with a big head), but swallowing coins is probably about the same.
They walked to the door of the detective agency, and before they opened the door to go in, they heard footsteps coming from the tea room behind them.
The door was half closed, holding the brewed coffee, Kunikida came out of the tea room, when Nanako just returned to the detective agency, he was not there, probably when Nanako was eating cake in the coffee shop, he was out on the field back.
"Have you gone to eat cake again?" Kunikida frowned before Nanako and Gogol could speak.
He smelled the faint mellow aroma left by two half-grown teenagers and girls when they came out of the coffee shop. Gogol may occasionally drink coffee with a lot of milk and sugar cubes, but Nanako doesn't know how to drink coffee of.She only drinks juice and milk in the coffee shop, and there will definitely be small cakes or cookies, so Kunikida knows that Nanako is going to eat cakes again without even thinking about it.
"Eat sweets in moderation, it's not just a matter of getting fat, you just had all your teeth replaced last year, if you have tooth decay, you can only go to the dentist..."
While he was educating Nanako, he closed the door of the tea room. Nanako seemed to be listening obediently, but in fact only half of the ten sentences would enter her head... and then ran away from the other ear, That is, the standard "left ear goes in and right ear goes out".
Standing in the corridor, listening to Kunikida's nagging for 5 minutes before finally ending the education, Nanako and Gogol have already started playing rock-paper-scissors secretly at an angle that he can't see.
Talking dry, Kunikida took a sip of the coffee in his hand and sighed tiredly.
"Brother Dupo." Nanako stopped her small movements, raised her head and asked Kunikida who had finally finished speaking, "Did you find that aunt?"
In fact, Kunikida already had the other party's business card: "..."
Should he say he found it?
Or should I say I didn't find it?
He was silent for a while, and finally took out his wallet from his pocket, took out the business card that was placed in the middle of the wallet, and handed it to Nanako.
"This is the lady's contact information....Do you need me to contact her for you?" Kunikida asked Nanako who had received the business card.
After carefully reading the words on the business card, Nanako stuffed the business card into her pocket and shook her head.
"I said it myself," she said.
In Kunikida's eyes, Nanako has always been a very self-reliant child. Since she was a child, she will consciously do what she can do.She doesn't need anyone to wake her up, doesn't need someone to urge her to do her homework, doesn't need someone to take her to buy things, and she even puts a blanket on Lumpy, who is lying on her back in an office chair and sleeping in all directions.
But at the same time, if he wants to tell others something about Nanako, he will subconsciously say "Nanako is a weak child" and "need to take care of her more". In his eyes, he seemed to have turned into a clumsy child again.
There is no doubt that at this moment, the Nanako who stuffed the business card into her pocket and said "I say it myself", in the eyes of Kunikida, is the former, the Nanako who is "very self-reliant".Without the help of adults, she will try her best to do it, even if she stumbles, she must handle things well by herself.
It's like a small rock that is so hard that it is a bit harsh, hard.
This little stone was accidentally picked up by Mr. Ranpo passing by one day, and then he put it in his pocket and brought it back to the detective agency.
"You can seek help from Mr. Ranpo."
Kunikida finally said this to Nanako.
"No matter what time it is, a daughter can ask her father for help—this is a matter of course and right."
At least for Nanako.
Kunikida Doppo was as sure of this as he was of every word he wrote in his notebook.
As a father, Ranpo-san will always help Nanako.
It turned out that the "orphan rate" in Japan was so high that there were only five people at the scene. She asked casually, and including herself, there were four people who were essentially "orphans".
"Haven't you noticed?"
After Nanako finished eating the strawberry mousse, Gogol left the coffee shop with her.
