After becoming a chaotic daughter

In front of Edogawa Ranpo, there are two options at the moment.

First, tell Nanako the truth, "The egg you picked up turned into a baby and flew away", and Nanako thought it was a lie to the child.

Second, she lied to Nanako and said, "Papa ate the eggs you picked up with shells and fillings", and then made her angry because she ate the eggs picked up by Nanako.

The detective was sitting in a comfortable luxury office chair, watching Nanako who came in through the open door with a cake in her arms, closed the door, and ran into the office area, feeling guilty and flustered for no reason. .

Going around the desk, Nanako ran to Ranbu's side, raised the cake in her hand and handed it to him: "Dad, cake."

Qiang Zuo calmly took the cake from Nanako's hand, Ranpo pretended nothing happened, bit the cake fork in his mouth, and concentrated on unwrapping the cake.

He heard Nanako beside him dragging her beloved small bench, then stepped on the small bench with a bang, stood up while leaning on the edge of the desk, and poked her little head out.

Luanbu was nervously unpacking the cake. The package that could have been unpacked in just two seconds, he had to concentrate on unpacking it for 20 seconds without unpacking it. However, Nanako had already stepped on the small bench and saw the desktop of the desk. .

"Father." Nanako called Ranpo in a tone without fluctuation.

"What, what are you doing?" Luanbu stumbled, and snapped open the paper button of the cake box, revealing the strawberry mille-feuille cake inside.

Nanako leaned her little head on the desk and asked in a daze, "Eggy, where are you going?"

The whole person seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and his chaotic steps froze in place, and the spoon he was biting in his mouth fell off. It took him a long time to reply dryly: "Egg, egg..."

After wandering between "telling the truth" and "deceiving the child" for a long time, he grabbed the spoon that fell on the table, poked the cake in the box vigorously, and said loudly, "Eggy hatches a baby." The chicken then ran away!"

After saying this, he immediately immersed himself in eating the cake, as if he was afraid that Nanako would continue to ask questions.

"...Oh." Nanako replied without any response, it seemed like she believed it, but she didn't seem to believe it.She slowly climbed off the small bench, and ran to the reception room to play by herself. After a while, she ran out of the reception room again, tiptoed to open the side door of the office area, and slipped in through the crack of the door.

A few minutes later, Fukuzawa Yukichi, who came out of the office, led Nanako to open the side door, strode to the chaotic desk, followed by Kunikida who was holding the documents.

Frowning tightly, Fukuzawa Yukichi's face was complicated, and there was a hint of nervousness in his usually majestic and quiet tone. He asked Ranpo who was buried in eating the cake: "Ranpo... the egg you picked up Nanako, Did you eat it with the eggshell?"

Edogawa Luanbu slowly made a question mark, and the movement of eating the cake froze.

Who is lying?

Oh, he remembered, it was himself.

*****

The balls were eaten.

Eggy was eaten by Luanbu along with the shell.

After learning the news, Nanako put a new label on her idiot father after many labels such as [Very cheating], [Don't recognize the way], [May be fired at any time]: [Eating disorderly], At the same time, I felt that the burden on my young shoulders was a little heavier.

Although both the president and Yosano later said that Luanpo was fine, Nanako was still a little worried.

Before going to bed at night, she opened her small treasury, counted out fifteen bills "one, two, three, four, five" from a stack of bills that had been converted into whole coins, and stuffed them into her small schoolbag.

Early the next morning, the alarm clock rang at seven o'clock, Nanako rubbed her eyes and crawled out of bed.

After washing up and changing into her school uniform, the alarm clock set for 07:30 was placed next to Ranbu's head, who was still sleeping soundly. Nanako picked up her small schoolbag, sat at the entrance, put on her small leather shoes, and took the warmed Sandwiches and milk, silently opened the door of the dormitory, and went out to school alone.

She noticed yesterday that it is different from the elementary school in China where there are huge crowds of people when school is over. It seems that most of the elementary school students in Japan go to and from school by themselves. Send kids to school.

The stupid father doesn't know the way and eats indiscriminately. In order to prevent chaos on the way to send her to school, Nanako thinks it's better for her to go out to school by herself first.

Nanako is very short, and she walks slowly with her short legs. At this time, there are not many students going to school on the road, but Nanako looks only at the age of kindergarten, and she is still very conspicuous on the road. A grandma who sells vegetables on the side of the road greeted her specially.

The road from the dormitory to Holy Night College is only 15 minutes away, passing residential areas and shops, crossing a small bridge across a tributary of the Tsurumi River, passing a small park, and walking along the street for 3 minutes.

The sunshine in the early spring morning was just right, and there was still a slight chill in the air. Like a little snail, Nanako slowly moved forward with her small schoolbag on her back.

Walking halfway, Nanako, who was drinking milk, suddenly felt a little weird.

She bit her straw, raised her little head and looked around. There were residential areas on both sides of the street. There were no people on the road, but it wasn't considered remote, it was just quieter.

Nanako stopped and thought for a while, then opened her short legs again.

dong dong dong,

She walked out a few steps.

pat pat pat pat.

There was a strange faint sound behind him.

dong dong dong,

She walked out a few more steps.

pat pat pat pat.

The small voice behind him also followed.

Nanako stood where she was, and waited for a while, but she didn't hear the voice behind her again, so she raised her little head and looked left and right. At the intersection in front of her, two middle school students who went to school together passed shoulder to shoulder. A family in the distance walked out of a office worker with a briefcase in a hurry. Everything seemed normal, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Nanako was sucking milk, with a small face paralyzed, and turned around with her small schoolbag on her back.

Behind her is the road she walked on when she came here. The relatively spacious concrete road is empty, and a tall telephone pole stands a few meters away from the side of the road. The cement pole is about half the thickness of a person.

Nanako's eyes fell on the telephone pole closest to her. She bit the straw and ran over, then stretched out her short hand, grabbed the corner of the brown fabric protruding from the pole, and suffocated. With a vigorous pull——

A stupid dad was dragged out from behind a telephone pole by her.

Holding the telephone pole tightly, Luanbu turned his back to Nanako, trying to pretend that he didn't exist, but Nanako had already spoken:

"dad."

"I'm not your father! You've got the wrong person!"

The dead duck has a stubborn mouth, with messy black hair on top, hurried out even without clothes, Luanbu refused to admit who he was.

After all, after being disliked by an idiot daughter, she still secretly followed her to send her to school-this kind of thing is too embarrassing!

Although the famous detective did this, he would never admit it!As long as he doesn't admit it, then his majesty as "father" will still stand!

Nanako stared at him for a while with her dark eyes wide open.

"……Oh."

She responded slowly, then turned and left.

Ranpo: ...? ? ?

"Wait a minute!" Luanbu grabbed Nanako by the back collar, turned the little radish head around, and made Nanako face him, "Daddy will send you to school!"

Nanako, who was picked up, looked at Ranbu with a pair of dull black pupils. She took a sip of the milk in her hand, and said bluntly, "I... go to school."

"No, Daddy will send you to school!" Luanbu was unreasonable...or he was arbitrarily saying what he thought was the truth, and said with certainty: "Dad was also sent to school by Daddy's mother when I was a child." , so when you go to school, you have to have your father to see you off."

[Papa's mother. 】

Nanako thought for a while before realizing that she was referring to her current "grandmother".Dad was always sent to school by his grandma when he was a child, so Dad felt that he should also send Nanako to school.

Nanako scratched her little head.

She was a little suspicious that grandma sent dad to school because dad didn't know the way. If idiot dad went to school by himself, he would probably be late every day.

But if Ranpo sent her to school, Nanako felt that he would probably be late for work every day, so after some serious thinking, Nanako raised her expressionless face and said:

"...Then, I want a dog."

"..."

Edogawa Ranpo felt that this topic seemed familiar.

He resolutely rejected Nanako: "No!"

"...Then go to school by yourself."

"Neither!"

"Then you need a dog..."

The same conversation went back and forth for a long time, and finally, as an "adult", Ranpo used his authority as an "adult" forcibly, and left with Nanako in his arms.

"I told you yesterday, dogs can't do it, and they can't walk by themselves! I can only send you to school, and pick you up after school!" Ranpo said loudly to Nanako dissatisfied, looking like a tantrum The child stepped on the steps deliberately and vigorously, making dull thumping footsteps.

Nanako was sipping milk, her round dark pupils were staring directly in front of her field of vision, but her dull eyes seemed to be looking at nothing.

Walking wildly, half-carrying and half-carrying her, Nanako walked past an intersection, as if she had finally come to her senses, and asked bluntly, "...Why, no?"

The chaotic footsteps stopped for a while, then suddenly became quiet, and stood there silent for a while, until Nanako was about to fall from his arms, he seemed to have regained his senses, and subconsciously wanted to lift Nanako up A support.

But the small schoolbag that Nanako was carrying was really in the way, so Luanbu simply put Nanako down and led her towards the school.

"No, no, no!"

He said without reason.

Nanako let out an "oh", walking around with one hand holding her hand and the other holding the milk. She shook the milk carton in her hand, and there was about half of it left.

"Dad, drink milk." She raised the milk in her hand and walked around.

"Father went to the convenience store to buy milk, you drink your own!" Luanbu answered her angrily.

"dad."

"what!"

"Then, you send me to school. When school is over, I will walk with my classmates and go back to the detective agency, okay?" Nanako paused several times for a long sentence before finally finishing it with effort.

Luanbu murmured inexplicably, neither saying yes nor no.

He took Nanako by the hand, went to a convenience store on the roadside to buy milk, drank milk with Nanako and walked to the school gate, squatted down at the school gate, and checked the child alarm on her schoolbag silently, and The school badge of GPS was affixed to the uniform, and the milk carton that Nanako had finished drinking was taken away.

Seeing Nanako's small figure wandering into the school, Luanbu drank the milk in his hand in one gulp, then squashed two empty milk cartons and threw them into a nearby convenience store in the trash can.

……

When Edogawa Ranpo was young, his mother would send him to school every day.

Then one day, my father and mother had something to do, so I asked him to go to school by himself that morning, and pick him up after school.

Although Luanbu is sent to school by his mother or father every day, he has already remembered how to walk that road so many times, and that morning, he arrived at school alone smoothly. inside.

But when school was over, he also walked home alone.

Mom and Dad never came to pick him up again.

*******

Nanako still wants to have a dog.

Although raising a dog may cost more money and take time to take care of it, Nanako feels that it is still necessary to have a dog. It is best to be a guide dog or a retired military dog, but Both of these dogs seem to be expensive, so the next best thing is to just be a smarter dog breed.

For example, the golden retriever who can call 120 and the border collie who can call the police. In this way, even if he walks and eats something and needs to be rescued, the dog can still give him a cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

But Ranpo disagreed with her keeping a dog.

Nanako thought about it again, using the same logic as in the morning, and then once again made the decision to "cut first, play later and buy the dog back." For this reason, she took pains from her small treasury last night. I bought five banknotes, and I plan to find out where there is a pet store where I can buy dogs.

On the second day of school, the class was obviously more formal than yesterday.

The three classes in the morning are Chinese, arithmetic and art.

Chinese and arithmetic are very simple, but listening to the teacher's lectures will be a little more difficult.The exercises assigned by the art teacher are to draw their favorite things, whether it is food, small animals, buildings, or anything.

After a short thought, Nanako lazily picked up the ruler, drew a square box of milk, and handed it in.

After class, Miwa at the back desk immediately poked her on the back and asked enthusiastically, "Nanako Nanako, what did you draw?"

"I drink it in the morning, milk." Nanako answered her honestly.

"Milk..." Miwa looked at Nanako who was a full head shorter than her, and showed deep understanding, "Well! Milk is really good. My mother said that milk is very nutritious. Drink more milk to grow. high."

[No, although it is true as you think, it is not what you think. 】

Nanako thought to herself, with a small face paralyzed, she also asked her sternly: "What did you draw?"

"Hey, hey hey..." Miwa showed an embarrassing smile, and scratched her eye-catching long blue hair, "This, this..."

Nanako looked at her expressionlessly, looking very serious and waiting for her answer.

Lowering his voice, Sanwa approached her ear, and whispered, "It's [money], I drew a 1 yuan bill! But I haven't seen the 1 yuan bill carefully, so maybe the drawing is wrong , I hope the teacher will not deduct points for me because of this."

As expected of a woman with blue hair.

Nanako stood in awe.

So cool, she wants to get her cuboid milk back and redraw it, after all who doesn't like banknotes?

The last activity class in the afternoon.

Most of the little Doudings in the one-month group went to visit the club activities of senior grades. According to the extracurricular practice arrangement of Holy Night College, from the third grade, students must participate in clubs or other extracurricular practical activities. In the first and second grades, students can visit freely in the activity class or participate in club activities they are interested in.

Nanako has no club activities that she is interested in, or she has no interest in club activities.She was lying on her desk, writing ancient poems silently in a small notebook. Apart from her, there were only two boys playing marbles in the open space behind the classroom. After a while, the two little boys also ran away. After playing outside, only Nanako was left in the classroom.

It's been two days since school started, and Nanako has only talked to Miwa at the back table in class. Her Japanese is still a bit poor, and the first-grade children often speak in one sentence or another, which makes it very difficult for her to listen, so Most of the children in the class have already made friends, but Nanako still always sits alone in the seat and plays by herself.

When Mr. Koizumi, the class teacher, walked into the classroom, she saw Nanako sitting alone on the seat, like a small radish that had been forgotten in the field. gave her one.

She was a little worried about Nanako. Nanako was short in stature, easily ignored, and not talkative, so she might be excluded by other children unintentionally. As a qualified class teacher, she felt that she had to care about Nanako.

So she walked to Nanako's table, leaned down on her knees, and asked softly, "Nanako, why don't you go out and play with everyone?"

Holding a pencil and writing, Nanako raised her head from her precious little notebook, her pair of dark eyes were like the plastic eyeballs inlaid on a doll, without any luster, she looked at Teacher Koizumi without blinking.

"Walking, I'm very tired, I don't want to run around." Nanako answered her, her tone was flat, the pauses between syllables were a bit stiff, and she had a little strange accent, but people could still understand what she was saying clearly.

"That's right, but it will be better if you exercise more. Exposure to the sun can also help Nanako grow taller." Teacher Koizumi said patiently, "What is Nanako writing? Can you show the teacher?"

Nanako looked down at her small notebook.

[... The big strings are like torrential rain, and the small strings are like whispers.Noisy, noisy, jumbled...] (Pipa Xing)

She frankly showed her small notebook to Mr. Koizumi, but she couldn't understand it anyway.In fact, Teacher Koizumi really couldn't understand, so she just tried to maintain a smile on her face, read Nanako's Chinese characters on this page, and then returned the small book to Nanako.

"Nanako is amazing. She already knows so many Chinese characters at such a young age. It's good to love learning, but you must also balance the time for exercise."

"Yeah." Nanako nodded her head vigorously like a good boy obediently listening to the teacher.

"What a good boy." Teacher Koizumi touched her head, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell the teacher, the teacher can help you at any time."

Nanako grabbed her small notebook, thought for a while, and asked, "Teacher."

"what happened?"

"Where can I buy it, dog?"

"...Dogs?" Although she didn't know why Nanako would ask this, she still thought about it carefully and replied, "There is a pet shop near the school, at the intersection just ahead of the convenience store in front of the school." There. In other places...there are several pet shops in the shopping street."

She paused and asked, "Does Nanako want to have a dog?"

Nanako nodded to her.

"Then you have to discuss it with your father. Raising a dog requires a lot of hard work. You must be responsible for the dog you bring home."

Teacher Koizumi talked with Nanako for a while, and it was almost time for school to leave before returning to the staff's office.The little Doudings who ran out to play returned to the classroom in twos and threes when the school bell rang, packed their schoolbags and prepared to go home, and Miwa at the table behind Nanako also came back in sportswear.

Sanlun seems to have gone to some sports club, tired and sweaty, with bangs sticking to his forehead.She quickly packed her schoolbag and walked out of the classroom with Nanako.

Yesterday's activity class was requisitioned for the opening ceremony. All clubs can only gather after school to talk about the arrangements for the new semester, but today the activity class is going on normally. When the class is over, most of the clubs have dispersed. When I got to the school gate, I obviously felt that the roads in the school were busier than yesterday.

When she passed the flowerbed where she picked up the eggs yesterday, she stopped on purpose, squatted by the flowerbed and looked at it for a while, but she didn't see any new eggs.

"Is there something in here?" Sanlun also squatted down, curiously following her to probe her head.

"Eggy...I picked one up here yesterday." Nanako said slowly.

"Can the school pick up eggs?!" Miwa's eyes lit up suddenly, "Where is it, is it in this flower garden? Are there chickens nearby?"

"...I don't know." Nanako scratched her little head, but couldn't find any new eggs. Although she really wanted to eat them, she still had to get up with her small schoolbag on her back.

Miwa couldn't find anything that looked like an egg in the flower garden. She pouted in disappointment, followed Nanako with her schoolbag on her back, and walked towards the school gate.

Ranpo was not found at the school gate, Nanako thought about it, and felt that Ranpo should agree with her to go home after school in the morning.

Standing at the school gate with Nanako, Miwa asked, "Where does your family live?"

"... this way." Nanako pointed her soft fingers in the direction of the detective agency. She was a head shorter than Miwa, standing beside Miwa, she looked like Miwa's little sister.

Miwa's house is in the same direction as the detective agency. She wanted to go with Nanako, but Nanako wanted to go to the pet shop to see the dog first, so they held hands and abducted to the pet shop in the other direction.

This is a pet shop that is neither too big nor too small. The shop is very clean and there is no bad smell.When Nanako and Miwa entered the store together, only a few cats and dogs barked a few times, but it soon became quiet.

A young clerk came out from behind the counter, greeted them, and asked kindly, "What's the matter, kid?"

Nanako tilted her head up, with a small expressionless face, and said slowly: "...I want to buy a dog."

"What kind of dog do you want to buy?" Although Nanako is only a child, she might choose a dog first and wait for her parents to buy it. The clerk asked her patiently.

"A smart dog that knows its way." She thought for a while, and then added, "...a dog that can take care of people."

The clerk quickly summed up her requirements in her mind. In short, it is the type of "nanny dog", a dog with a high IQ and is more docile and obedient. It is best to have been trained and not too big .

She was still thinking about whether to recommend the three-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever in the store or the two-year-old border collie to the little girl, when she saw the two little girls squatting together on the four-year-old Samoyed tied to the door of the store before.

The white fur is puffy, clean and fluffy, with fox-like pointed ears, a cheerful mouth, and a curled curly tail. It looks beautiful and friendly from head to toe.

—but that's all a lie.

This Samoyed has already bitten [-] cages in the store, and he didn’t let go when he went out for a walk every day. He was tired and walked away with six shop assistants. He also likes to grab dog food from other dog bowls. I don’t even look at it, and it has been returned three times so far—the reason for one of them was to grab a meal with the owner.

Two little girls stroked the fur of the big white dog, and the dog also grinned with a smile. It looked very docile and raised its paw into the hand of the girl with blue hair. The short little carrot head reached out. Hold it, it also sits there motionless.

"How much is this dog?" Nanako, a Samoyed who was almost as tall as her, asked the clerk seriously.

There was an indescribable expression of struggle on the clerk's face: "...only one hundred thousand yen."

The purebred Samoyed has such a good appearance, the price can be said to be very cheap.

She thought that Nanako would go home to find adults, but Nanako took off her schoolbag and rummaged through it, and took out a stack of [-] yen bills from the interlayer, and then counted ten of them with a paralyzed face, holding them together. He handed it to the shop assistant.

The shop assistant: "...kids, you should discuss things like buying a dog with the adults at home."

"It's my own money, you can buy it yourself." Nanako tried hard to make her hyphenation and pronunciation appear normal.

"But things that cost tens of thousands of dollars can only be bought by adults. If children buy them, we can't sell them." The clerk politely and resolutely rejected Nanako's purchase request, sent Nanako and Miwa out of the door together, and told them that they could bring their parents to buy together tomorrow.

But Ranpo disagreed with her buying a dog.

Standing in front of the pet shop, Nanako held her schoolbag and frowned in distress.You can't buy a dog without Ranpo, and you can't buy a dog with Ranpo. Nanako's dog-raising plan just started, "the middle road collapsed."

Just as she was about to put the money back into the interlayer of her schoolbag, she remembered that in Sanlun's art class she said she had never touched a 1 yuan bill, so she took out a bill and handed it to Sanlun, and then handed it to Sanlun. The banknotes were stuffed back into the bag.

"Here, see." Nanako said.

"Eh? Eh? Can you show it to me? Can I touch it? Just one touch!" Miwa, who was still in a daze because Nanako made a move of [-] yen, suddenly came back to his senses, and the delicate blue His eyebrows were raised high with excitement.

Carefully touching the 1 yuan banknote that Nanako lent her to see, Sanwa showed some envious expressions on her immature face: "Ah...if only I could be so rich...it's the first time I touch it. How about 1 yuan bills..."

The family is poor, and she has two young brothers under her. The livelihood of the family depends on the meager salary earned by the mother's hard work.Sanwa only saw ten-thousand-dollar banknotes every month when her mother paid her salary and returned home. But such a large denomination of money was carefully put away by her mother or kept in the bank. She would never have the chance to come across it. of.

Nanako groaned and corrected her sternly: "I am very poor and only have a little money."

The money she saved now, if Luanbu was fired, would only be enough for her and Luanbu to survive for a month, and after buying the dog, it would probably only be enough for half a month.

But the dog still has to be bought. She can work hard to learn Japanese well, and then get a scholarship in school. After all, she is still a high school student who is "at the peak of knowledge reserve", and taking the exam with elementary school students is a blow to dimensionality reduction.Holy Night Academy is the only elementary school that has a scholarship, and it is a high scholarship, so although the tuition is a bit expensive, Nanako still comes here to study.

Anyway, the salary in Luanbu's hands is moonlight, and it can't be saved at all, so it's better to use it to "invest" for her.

"But can't you spend so much money to buy a dog?" Miwa couldn't understand why Nanako said she was poor, a child could carry tens of thousands of yen with her, and she could buy a dog whenever she wanted. It should be a rich and wealthy family.

"After buying the dog, I will have no money." Nanako took the [-] yen bill that Sanwa returned to her, stuffed it back into her schoolbag, and carefully zipped up the middle layer before putting the schoolbag back on her back. .

Sanlu showed a puzzled expression: "Then why do you still want to buy a dog?"

"Give it to daddy, daddy needs a dog, know the way." Nanako answered her, walking down the steps with short legs, "dog help daddy."

Gotta have a dog to help daddy.

【……what. 】

Miwa felt as if she understood what Nanako meant.

【It's so pitiful, Nanako's father is blind. 】

She immediately lost the "rich woman filter" towards Nanako, feeling that Nanako, like herself, is a child who is trying to reduce the burden on the family, so she is more active in "advising" Nanako.

"Then should I buy a guide dog? I've seen it on TV. Guide dogs are very smart!"

"'Blind guide dog'...what is it?" It was another word Nanako hadn't learned, and it sounded like a kind of dog.

"It's a trained and powerful dog, a dog that can lead the way for invisible people and can help a lot."

[Oh...it's a guide dog. 】

Nanako silently memorized the word.

Then he nodded to Sanwa.

【Ah, is Nanako's father really blind? 】

As a kind and good boy, Miwa sympathizes with Nanako very much. She feels that Nanako is much more difficult than herself. At least her mother and brothers are in good health, and she can also do some things like deliver milk to help the family, but Nanako looks so thin, like a small bean sprouts, must have worked hard to save so much money, right?

After three rounds of decision, when she is on the basketball team, she must train harder, so as not to let down the coach who recommended her to enroll and her hard-working mother.Her family is so poor, thanks to the recommendation of the basketball team coach, she was able to enroll for free, and as long as she was in the third grade, she would be able to participate in the competition and get a lot of bonuses!

Nanako is working so hard, she must work harder!

【……Well. 】

【How can I save more pocket money...】

The hard-working Nanako stood beside her, thinking seriously about this important question.

******

Nanako and Miwa said goodbye at a crossroad, one walked left towards the residential area, and the other walked right towards the coastal trail near the port.

Nanako carried her small schoolbag on her back, and walked slowly along the flat trail. The long trail is close to the sea in the port, and you can see the sea-crossing bridge in the port. There is a fishy smell, and the warm spring sun falls on the broad sea, sparkling, and the calls of seagulls can be heard from time to time, and gray and white shadows fly across the sea.

The red brick building of the detective agency had already appeared in sight, but Nanako, who was slowly moving forward with her schoolbag on her back, suddenly stopped, motionless like a little snail in the middle of a leaf.

She saw a white mass on the trail ahead.

Nanako stood on the spot, blinked very slowly, and stared at the ball with lifeless black eyes for a while, and found that [it] seemed to be dead, and there was no movement at all.So Nanako slowly moved over cautiously, and stopped beside the white mass.

[...White. 】

Nanako stared at the mass of white fur.

Under the bright sunlight in the afternoon, the silver-white hair looked fluffy and smooth, and when the sea breeze blew, it swelled like waves, reminding Nanako of the Samoyed she saw in the pet store just now.

【……Well. 】

[It seems almost the same. 】

Nanako carefully compared the lump on the ground with the Samoyed in the pet store. There seemed to be no difference in terms of color, texture and size.

In terms of IQ, probably this group of things should be a little higher.

And it doesn't seem like it's worth the money.

After a rigorous comparative analysis, Nanako resolutely stretched out her short hand.

******

Edogawa squatted in the door of the detective agency, waiting for his stupid daughter Nanako to arrive home.

An hour has passed since Nanako left school. From Nanako's school to the detective agency, no matter how slow it is, four or ten minutes should be enough. poked her little head through the cracks.

If it wasn't for the GPS positioning, the little red dot representing Nanako was indeed walking slowly along the way back to the detective agency at the speed of a turtle, and Ranbu would have run out to find her long ago.

Seeing that the little red dot on the screen of the phone finally arrived at the detective agency, Luanbu squatted and waited for another 5 minutes before finally waiting for the doorknob of the detective agency's door to click and be turned open from the outside.

Nanako's little head didn't come in through the crack of the door, and the wooden door swung open.

Ranpo finally saw Nanako who was standing at the door of the detective agency and spent a full 73 minutes returning to the agency.

Nanako was carrying her small schoolbag, and she was dragging something white in her hands. When she saw Ranpo squatting in the detective agency, she dragged the things in front of Ranpo without any fluctuation in her expression. Show Ranbu:

"Dad, dog."

After she finished speaking, she paused for a while, probably because she felt that what she said was not accurate, and changed her tone dullly:

"...Dad, Wang Jiang."

Random steps: ...

He knew he shouldn't agree to Nai
