After becoming a chaotic daughter

Nanako still didn't give up her plan of soaking eggs in white vinegar.

If you can't make eggs in the detective agency, you can do it in the dormitory, but you can't be discovered by Luanbu, so when Luanbu went to take a shower at night, Nanako moved her small bench to the kitchen and put it on the kitchen counter The bottle of white vinegar that was barely used, took a small bowl from the cabinet, sat on the small bench and continued soaking the balls she picked up.

In the living room, Gogol, who had just taken a shower, was sitting on the tatami mat, and was blowing his fluffy silver-white hair with a hair dryer. His hair was long, fluffy and fluffy. trouble.

The kitchen is filled with the sour smell of vinegar, the living room is the noise of the rumbling hair dryer, the bathroom is vaguely filled with the sound of people taking a bath and humming nursery rhymes, and the small dormitory is being tossed into a "hustle and bustle" , When Gogol finally dried his hair, Nanako also heard the sound of showering water in the bathroom stop.

She calmly picked up the bowl, poured the vinegar into the sink, put the rinsed bowl back into the cupboard, opened the kitchen window to diffuse the smell, and poured half a bottle of vinegar on the kitchen counter , created the "scene" where he spilled the vinegar, and when he came out of the shower filled with hot white mist, he stepped on the spot and stuffed the wiped balls back into the schoolbag.

After soaking for half an hour, the black egg had faded into a white egg, and there seemed to be a small pattern in the center. The pattern was a little fuzzy, and Nanako couldn't tell what it was.

Luanbu with wet hair came out of the bathroom in his pajamas, with his kitten towel draped over his shoulders. As soon as he came out, he wrinkled his nose and smelled the smell of vinegar wafting from the room.

Just as she stuffed Eggy back into her schoolbag, Nanako took out a rag from under the cabinet and ran past him with a bang. She ran into the kitchen, stepped on the small bench, and wiped a big puddle on the kitchen counter with the rag. After wiping it clean with white vinegar, I dragged the small bench to the sink, climbed onto the small bench and started washing the rags.

He looked very conscious to clean up the "accident", and there was no trace of guilty conscience on his dull little face.

Half-closed his eyes, glanced at Nanako's unzipped schoolbag, and chose to pretend that he didn't know anything - a "good father" should learn to play stupid properly, so that his stupid daughter (thinking himself) can successfully keep it. her little secret.

Proficiently mastered another "good dad trick", Luanbu felt that he was one step closer to the achievement of "the best dad in the world".

Randomly wiped the dripping hair twice, Luanbu picked up the hair dryer that Gogol had placed on the tatami, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to blow-dry his hair.

"Nanako——" only the loud rumbling noise of the hair dryer could be heard in his ears, and Nanako shouted at the top of his voice.

After washing the rags and hanging them up, Nanako ran out of the kitchen again, hugging her beloved small bench and stopped in front of Ranbu, saying "huh".

Her voice was too low and was completely drowned out by the rumbling sound of the hair dryer, but Luanbu didn't care, and while blowing her hair into a mess like weeds on a typhoon day, she said casually: "Tomorrow, Dad will bring you You go out and play."

He thought for a while, and before Nanako could answer yes or no, he added another sentence: "Go to the elementary school of Seagull Academy, there are interesting events happening there, Dad will take you to see the fun, and Police Officer Yasui is also here—that is The police uncle with the fierce face and 'I'm a good guy' written on his face, the one who came to the detective agency yesterday."

Police, events, watching.

It should be some kind of work, but his tone sounded like a melon passing by the melon field, and when he found a melon to eat, he hurried home and took the cub with him, happily preparing to jump into the melon field with Nanako .

As he said this, he turned his head and pointed at Gogol, who was sitting next to him braiding his hair, with the hair dryer in his hand, and said in a commanding tone exclusive to adults: "You too!"

The hair dryer turned on to the maximum wind blows away Gogol's half-braided three-strand braid, and the fluffy white hair with a slight curl is blown up, as if he was facing the hair dryer So the white-haired dog with hair flying wildly.

Gogol squinted his eyes with a smile, and the smile on his childish face looked innocent.Facing the strong wind blowing from the hair dryer, he exaggeratedly placed his left hand on his cheek like a trumpet, and replied in a cadenced tone:

"Hi~~Hi~~! But before that, can I ask a question~!"

He raised his right hand high.

Facing the cooperative Gogol, as a "broad-minded" adult, Luanbu graciously turned off the hair dryer and approved his application for speaking: "Speak!"

"It's too hot, so can I request a cape?"

Gogol asked in a high tone.

"turn down."

Ranbu replied decisively without any ups and downs.

Three months is enough for Ranpo to figure out exactly what Gogol's abilities are. To be more precise, on the third day after Gogol was dragged back by Nanako, Ranpo has already thoroughly figured out the little devil's affairs up.

The ability is to use the "cloak" to connect the surrounding space within a certain range, and the whole person can use the cloak to teleport. The current upper limit distance should be about 20 meters, and there is still the possibility of continuing to grow.

The side effect of this ability is to allow him to have a certain perception of the surrounding space, and he can roughly feel what the nearby space is like, so he will not get stuck in the ground when teleporting.

In other words, as long as this kid is not given something similar to a "cloak", his risk factor will plummet—after all, with his current physical strength, even if he is given a fruit knife, he can't cut an apple in half at once. Half.

Gogol, who can't use his powers, probably can't even beat Nanako. Although he is said to be a scumbag, it is enough to crush this little kid with his "adult" size advantage.

After blowing his hair, Random Walk exercised his authority as an "adult" and unreasonably threw the little Gogol into the closet. By the way, he took out Nanako's little yellow duck doll and stuffed it into his own. In the arms of the stupid daughter.

"Okay! All the children go to bed! Otherwise, they won't grow taller, and they will become dwarfs when they grow up!"

Holding the little yellow duck in her arms, with her own quilt and small pillows piled up beside her, Nanako let out a slow "Oh" and dragged the quilt to spread the quilt for herself.

******

Seagull Elementary School, full name [Seagull Academy Primary School], is a private elementary school located on the seashore.

As the name suggests, in addition to the [Primary School], there is also a [Middle School] from the first year of junior high school to the first year of high school, but the elementary school and the middle school are divided into two campuses. The middle school is located in the Jinshan City on the west side of Yokohama. The elementary school is located in the coastal urban area on the east side of Yokohama.

Because it is close to Tokyo Bay, seagulls often enter the school by mistake. As we all know, seagulls are a kind of bird that is keen on "population snatching food". Seagulls once robbed 23 rice balls, 1 bags of potato chips, The chaos of eight crepes, two boxes of takoyaki, and countless crude snacks firmly put "Seagull" on his "Most Hated Bird List" No. [-], and it has been going on for five years. No other bird shakes this "throne".

"Seagulls are really disgusting", "monsters with wings", "the eyes are full of madness" - as early as the first time he met with the president, he had been chattering to Shang Qi, who was still a "stranger" People" Fukuzawa Yukichi complained so because he "involuntarily" fed "a rice ball" in the bento to a seagull that "attacked" him 10 minutes ago.

Indeed, the "involuntary" - who actually is the master, this is not known.

The above series of ramblings is mainly to explain one thing, that is, as a famous detective, there is some kind of unspeakable "bad relationship" between Edogawa Ranpo and Seagull. It started when Sui came to Yokohama, and even today, there is no sign of abating or easing up.

——Just getting off the bus at the gate of Hai'ou Primary School, the steamed buns in his hand were snatched away by a gray-white "monster" with a sharp beak, so he thought.

"My steamed buns—!!"

Ranbu let out an angry howl.

Let’s just say “wailing”, Nanako and Gogol who were eating steamed buns looked at each other, the two little radish heads in unison accelerated the speed of eating steamed buns, and before Luanbu mourned his steamed buns, They swallowed their steamed buns whole.

Gogol even thoughtfully patted Nanako on the back who was a little choked.

Akiko Yosano who witnessed the whole process: "..."

History repeats itself, yesterday when she and Luanbu came to Seagull Elementary School for investigation for the first time, Luanbu was snatched away by a gray seagull with a box of pocky just as soon as she got out of the car, the speed was as fast as The speeding robber on the streets of Yokohama disappeared into the sky with a chaotic pocky in the blink of an eye.

"It's definitely the one from yesterday! Absolutely! I recognize it! It's it again!"

Luanbu, who had been robbed of food twice, was so angry that he waved his hands angrily and complained to the gray robber who had already flown away in the sky.

Not far away, Police Officer Yasui, who had been waiting at the school gate for a long time, strode towards them, frowning tightly on his already majestic and dignified face, making it even more serious.

It wasn't that he was overly nervous, but that this incident was completely different from the "cases" he used to handle. It even alarmed the police and the Supernatural Secret Service Division to jointly issue an emergency investigation order. So far, there is no clue. It wasn't until Luanbu was invited to investigate on the spot yesterday that there was probably progress.

He didn't know the specific progress, because Luanbu didn't say anything, and he could only guess the truth of the incident from the other party's easy-to-hand posture and light-hearted instructions.

This time the incident happened at Haiou Primary School, and the "victims" were all children around ten years old, and they were all students of the school.Two weeks ago, a third-grade female student suddenly fell into a coma during class in the music classroom. The school thought it was the girl’s sudden illness or hypoglycemia, so they hurriedly contacted her parents and took the student to the school doctor’s office. He was transferred to Yokohama City Hospital.

A strange thing happened. After a careful examination by the hospital, it turned out that there was nothing abnormal about the student's body, and all the data showed that it was normal, as if he was just asleep, but they tried various methods, but they couldn't Wake up the student.

The problem of this patient has not been resolved. The next day, Haiou Primary School sent another student with the same symptoms.

This time it was a fifth grade boy.

On the third day, another boy in the fourth grade.

On the fourth day, the sixth grade girl.

Day [-]...

Seven days in a row, with exactly the same symptoms, seven students of Seagull Primary School were sent to the hospital. The only thing in common was that they all fell into a coma in the music classroom.

The first case was an "accident", the second may be a "disease". When the third case happened, the school quickly stopped using the music classroom and changed all music lessons to the auditorium. But even so, after school on the fourth day However, the teacher on duty found another unconscious student in the music classroom.Even during the two days of the weekend, some students came to the school for some unknown reason, passed out in the music classroom, and were not discovered by the cleaning staff until Monday.

The school and the hospital finally called the police, and they realized that this was definitely not caused by any "disease".

The police investigated for a few days in a daze, but found nothing. Afterwards, no new victims appeared. The comatose children in the hospital had no life-threatening signs other than lethargy.

They suspected that it was the work of the supernatural beings, so they reported the matter to the Supernatural Secret Service Division. But recently, the old man leader of the port mafia probably started to let himself go because his life was approaching. Fighting with weapons, committing all kinds of crimes; at the same time, the "homicide detective" Ayatsuji Xingren in Tokyo ran away again.

The Secret Service Division was so busy that they couldn't spare any time to deal with the "several children who were not in danger of life yet", so they threw the matter back to the police and asked them to take care of it first, and then talk about it when things became troublesome.

Things did get complicated.

Three days ago, several children lying in the hospital had a sudden cardiac arrest and were sent to the emergency room overnight, but they almost failed to be rescued.

The next day, after receiving the news, the police and the Secret Service Division, who were busy dealing with the illegal organization firefight, finally remembered the incident, and quickly jointly ordered Officer Yasui to go to the detective agency to find help.

And yesterday, Ranpo and Xie Ye came to Haiou Elementary School for a tour with Xie Ye, who took over the commission.Because of the incident of students falling asleep two weeks ago, and the end of the term was approaching, Seagull Elementary School simply gave all students a two-week study leave, suspended classes, and asked the students to come directly to the final exam at that time.

After finishing the school tour, he focused on looking at the music classroom, which was probably the "scene of the crime", and sat in front of the piano in the music classroom with random steps, crossing his legs and quickly scanned the detailed incidents of several "victim students" and the hospital. Reporting, he patted the piano next to him for the last time, and said to Police Officer Yasui in a loud sound of "Boom!"

"Move those victims here tomorrow, I have a way to wake them up."

Officer Yasui: "..."

"Mr. Ranbu," he pondered for a moment, then carefully considered his words and said, "Those students are still in the intensive care unit, and they were rescued just yesterday morning."

Although it is said that their lives are out of danger now, those children simply cannot withstand another cardiac arrest. Let alone sending them to school, or transferring them from the ICU to a general ward, their parents will probably protest violently .

What's more, it still makes their school a music classroom that can be regarded as a "crime scene".

"Their guardians probably won't agree." Officer Yasui said to Ranpo.

The boy sitting on the piano chair gave him a strange look, and said as a matter of course: "Isn't that nonsense! Those grown-ups are just not smart, and they are not crazy."

How could he let the child he had just rescued come to the scene of the crime!

Officer Yasui: "?"

"So I want you to 'steal' them out!" Luanbu said confidently, "Although you are said to be incompetent, you can't even do this, right? I pay taxes every month as required Oh, it's fine to raise 'idiots', after all, brains are born, so it can't be helped, but the tax I pay doesn't mean that all the 'useless idiots' are raised, right?"

Police officer Yasui, who was only in his thirties, experienced the feeling of myocardial infarction from the boy in front of him after a long absence.

Having said that, he still racked his brains and made some effort. After contacting his superiors, he found a way to move several victims from the hospital to the music classroom of Seagull Elementary School this morning.

After these children were rescued, their body functions quickly returned to normal, and they could maintain normal vital signs without the need for medical equipment such as ventilators.But to be on the safe side, the emergency room of the hospital closest to Haiou Primary School is still ready. If any child suddenly has a problem, he can be sent directly to the emergency room by an ambulance within 3 minutes.

"The students who are unconscious are already in the music classroom." Police Officer Yasui's face was serious as he led the group of Luanbu towards the school, "What should we do next?"

"It's not that simple!" Ranbu followed Officer Yasui with brisk steps, raised his hand and snapped his fingers in a relaxed and happy tone.

"—Of course I told these bedridden students to get up and go to class!"

Holding Ranbu's hand, Nanako stumbled and followed his footsteps, with her small head hanging down and her dark eyes staring at her feet.

"dad."

"Um--?"

Nanako, who was dragged by Luanbu and almost fell when she stepped on her shoelace for the third time, finally couldn't bear it any longer. She raised her short leg expressionlessly, and stomped on Luanbu hard.

"...I need to tie my shoes."

"……Oh."

The author has something to say:

#Ranbu and Seagull's Indissoluble Bond#

Quoting a bit of the description of seagulls in the novel Sanli Luanbu and extending it slightly

In the original work, Ranpo only said that the seagull was "crazy", "disgusting", and "involuntarily gave a rice ball"

"The rice ball was actually taken away" is an extension of my reasonable (?) suspicion, because I don't think Luanbu can beat the seagull [no] but it seems to be true

----

As I wrote, I found that Seagull and Gogol still look alike

"eyes full of madness" or something
