Nanako sat on the stool, staring intently at Ranpo and the little boy sitting on the hospital bed, talking back and forth in a language she didn't understand.

That string of babbling words sounded like some other world text, making people unable to even guess the meaning of a word.Not only Nanako, but also Yosano and Kunikida who were in the infirmary, with blank expressions on their faces, they didn't understand what Ranpo said to the little boy at all, only the president sat calmly Aside, motionless as a mountain.

Ranpo seems to be able to speak many foreign languages——Nanako realized this, and then dug out a few scattered sentences from the depths of her memory.

It seems that in some essays, the "Great Writer" "Edogawa Ranpo" once wrote such a paragraph very reservedly. Nanako can't remember the specific wording. Anyway, the core idea is "learning foreign languages It’s not a difficult task for me”—this kind of words that are full of Versailles atmosphere but also very self-effacing.

Well, maybe after being fired by the detective agency, she can ask Luanbu to try to be an interpreter, and it should be fine if she can survive starvation.

She silently arranged her father's "next job" in her heart.

During the moment when she was in a daze, the conversation between Ranpo and the little boy ended, and seeing that Ranpo and the boy stopped talking, Fukuzawa Yukichi asked calmly, "Ranpo, do you know where this child came from?" Where did it come from?"

"Well... so-so." Ranpo replied without motivation, "I was born in Poltava, a province in Ukraine, which originally belonged to the Russian Empire, and was kidnapped by a mafia family in Italy three years ago. After that, he was imprisoned in an experimental base for more than two years of supernatural experiments. He doesn't know how he came to Yokohama."

The location of his hometown and the incident of being kidnapped were all told by this little ghost, and the part of the supernatural experiment was deduced by himself. The little kid's eyes are completely hidden in the eyes of a famous detective, even if he Leaving aside the matter of concealing supernatural powers, Luanbu can easily see it.

He could even guess that the kid's ability was probably related to space. There was a very faint smell of coffee on his body. Kunikida made coffee a few minutes ago. The only place where the detective agency can leave this smell is Two, one is the tea room where coffee is made, and the other is the office area where Kunikida brings the coffee.

This little boy had never been in the office area, and since he had to go through the office area to get from the infirmary to the tea room, he could only have jumped the space and had direct spatial contact with the tea room.

"Italian mafia?" Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned, adding a bit of intimidating majesty to his already solemn face, "The situation of the port mafia has become increasingly chaotic in recent months. , Will the Italian mafia family also come to Yokohama to get involved?"

"No, it probably has nothing to do with that... It's just that at this time, even if the Italian mafia families come to Japan, even if the purpose is not for this, it will definitely make Yokohama more chaotic." Ranbu said nonchalantly, "But this The kid is very troublesome, if the Italian mafia family finds out that he is in the detective agency, he will definitely launch an action against the detective agency—President, let’s get rid of him quickly!"

Hearing this, Fukuzawa Yukichi frowned even tighter.

"Regarding this matter……"

They talked about things that Nanako couldn't understand, and Kunikida and Yosano also joined the conversation, complicated and profound words one after another, such as [mafia], [situation], [ Nanako couldn't understand any of Ability Experiment], [Fate is Ending], and [Leader Replacement].

She raised her small head, looked at this and then at that, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she clumsily climbed off the stool, got out through the half-closed door of the infirmary, ran to the office area outside, and found Luanbu unfinished a box of biscuits and her beloved small bench, holding the biscuits in one hand and dragging the small bench with the other, returned to the infirmary, kicked off the small leather shoes, and climbed onto the hospital bed on the small bench.

Holding half a box of biscuits, Nanako dragged the pillow on the little boy's back to her side, then turned around, and sat next to the little boy leaning against the pillow.

"do you want to eat?"

Nanako bit the biscuit expressionlessly, shaking her cheeks like a little hamster, and passed the biscuit in her hand to the little boy. While eating, she watched the "adults" discuss serious matters.

Glucose was still hanging on his left hand. The little boy stretched out his right hand with thin knuckles, picked up a biscuit, and with a happy smile that seemed to be very energetic, he said in a very weak voice: "Спасибо."

Si... or something, strange pronunciation, Nanako can't understand, but there are many things she can't understand, it seems that she can't understand a bunch of words that Ranpo and the others are saying now.

Therefore, she reciprocated courtesy and said to the little boy in Chinese: "You are welcome."

As for whether the little boy was saying thanks just now, that doesn't matter, anyway, he couldn't understand Nanako's words.

*****

What elements should a qualified Samoyed have?

1. Beautiful white hair.

2. Smile happily.

3. Even if the language is difficult, it can always respond to the owner's instructions quickly and correctly, that is, it has a higher IQ among its kind - although it does not look very smart.

Nanako felt that the dog she picked up... the "Wang Jiang" she picked up perfectly met these three elements, and most importantly, it didn't cost any money. satisfy.

Sitting at the dining table, today's dinner is buckwheat cold noodles. Nanako holds her short children's chopsticks in her right hand and a small plate in her left hand. Put the thin noodles in the small dish into the sauce, dip them in, take them out, pick them back into the small dish, put your mouth on the small dish, suck the noodles into your mouth, back and forth Repeating this troublesome set of movements, she ate slowly for a long time before finishing her small portion of cold noodles.

Putting down the chopsticks and small saucer in her hand, Nanako picked up the small Gu containing the stewed soup, gulped it down, burped a little, grabbed a tissue and wiped her mouth, then climbed out of the chair go down.

"dad."

Nanako tugged at the hem of Ranbu's clothes, and Ranbu, who was nibbling on the big chicken leg, diverted his gaze a little and moved to Nanako's body.

"Huh? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...why?"

"Wang sauce."

Ranpo immediately corrected her: "It's not 'Wang Jiang'! That kid is called Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol-Yanovsky, call him Nikolai or Gogol!"

"Ni...clay pot..."

[...Niko... what? 】

Nanako was stunned by the name, which was several times longer than the Japanese name. Russian names are extremely complicated, and after being pronounced in Russian, it is even more of a string of murmurs.

"Niko...forget it, this one is a bit confusing." Ranbu read it to her in a simple way, "Gogol——! ゴ, ゴ, リ!"

"ゴゴ, リ." Nanako said the name again. Although the Japanese English is very strange, it is indeed much easier to pronounce.

...but it sounds like a hen clucking.

She scratched her little head.

ゴ, ゴ, リ.

go, go, ri.

"Don't worry about this brat, Xie Ye will help him with the dinner." Ranbu said indifferently, "The president said he would contact the Secret Service, and the detective agency will get rid of this troublesome brat in a few days!"

【Special Service Section】

Another unfamiliar word, it sounds like a shelter, orphanage or something like that.

Although she thinks that there is not much difference between Gogol and Samoyed, there is still a big difference between picking up a child on the side of the road and picking up a puppy on the side of the road.

She was almost sent to the orphanage before, but fortunately she was smart and caught a father for herself on the spot.

【……Well. 】

Nanako suddenly felt as if she understood something.

She opened her dark round eyes, looked up at the expressionless little face, stared at Luanbu who was gnawing on the chicken legs for a while, then ran back to the detective agency on the opposite side of the corridor, opened the side door of the office area on tiptoe, and went in. I ran into Yosano who came out of the infirmary with a plate.

"Nanako?" Yushino freed a hand and stroked Nanako's hairy head, "Have you finished your dinner yet?"

Nanako nodded, "Yes."

"Do you want to go in and play with Gogol? Gogol's health is not very good, don't disturb him too much, remember to come out after playing for a while, let him sleep a little longer." Yu Xieye told her casually, turned around Help her open the door of the infirmary.

Nanako nodded obediently, and watched Xie Ye leave with the plate, then poked her head at the edge of the door and looked into the infirmary.

The lights were on in the infirmary, and on the hospital bed in the middle, a thin and small boy was sitting on the bed, holding a piece of white paper in his hand, lowering his head, and was making origami.

His silver-white long hair was tied into a small braid, hanging down his head, still fluffy, but it didn't quite look like the Samoyed Nanako saw in the pet store.

Nanako got into the infirmary, her small stool was still placed beside the hospital bed, so she stepped on the small stool and climbed onto the hospital bed familiarly.

Even if their two children were sitting on the big hospital bed, it was still very spacious.The little boy did not look up at Nanako who was struggling to climb onto the bed, but kept such a happy and deep smile on his face, his thin fingers fluttered nimbly, and quickly folded the white paper in his hand into a winged Thousand paper cranes.

The white origami crane was lying in his palm, the little boy turned his head, his golden pupils turned into crescents, looked at Nanako with a smile, and presented the origami crane in his hand in front of Nanako, as if showing off , to show her, but she didn't mean to give the thousand paper cranes to Nanako.

Nanako's little head was tilted, and her dark pupils, who could not see the slightest emotion, looked at him.

"времядляфокусов."

The little boy said something that Nanako couldn't understand, then pulled up the quilt on the hospital bed and draped it over his body, like pulling up the corner of a cloak, raised the corner of the quilt to cover the thousand paper cranes in his hand .

"Three, two, one!"

He suddenly spit out some not-so-standard English, a sentence that couldn't be simpler, with a high-spirited and excited tone.

As the last syllable fell, he waved the blanket away, like a white dove fluttering from a magician's hat, a black bird flew out of his hand and hit the medical staff. The chandelier in the room caused the light to shake.

Bang!

The black bird knocked down the medicine bottle on the cabinet with Xie Ye, and overturned the documents on the desktop with its flapping wings. After wandering around the room twice, it finally found the position of the door. He flew out through the crack of the door, and soon, panicked noises came from the office area outside.

The cheerful smile that Gogol had always maintained on his face became a little stiff for some reason.

Although I don't know how he hid the bird from being discovered, Nanako still gave an objective and high evaluation of his magic:

"You're done."

She spoke in Chinese, and cautiously withdrew her plan to teach Gogol to call Luanbu's father.

Gogol: "..."

Although he didn't actually understand it, he felt as if he understood what the little girl said.

…So why, after the bird flew away from his hand, he couldn’t stretch out his hand with a supernatural ability like when he brought the bird in from outside, and then catch the bird back through the “cloak” up?

The author has something to say:

Because of the unscientific behavior of a hand suddenly appearing in mid-air

----

Gogol's ability: You can use the "cloak" to connect the space within a radius of 30 meters, and you can even use the cloak to teleport your whole body

Here is a cloak made of sheets, teleporting the thousand paper cranes away, and then reaching out and grabbing a bird from the outside

Because it looks like magic, within Nanako's acceptance range, so ok

But if he wants to put his hand in the cape and catch the birds flying around the house from the air, then it's very bad
