After becoming a chaotic daughter

Seagull Elementary School Music Classroom.

Several rows of seats are neatly arranged in the middle of the classroom. In the open space in front of the seats, a fairly brand-new piano stands silently by the large French windows. A blackboard is hung on the front wall of the classroom. The opened box of chalk was scattered on the storage board extending from the bottom of the blackboard, and half of the chalk tip fell outside the carton.

In the open space in front of the classroom, a row of medical stretchers were placed side by side. Several children in their teens were lying on the stretchers, their eyes closed, their faces slightly pale, but their breathing was steady and soothing, as if they were just asleep. Lie there quietly.

"The 'victims' are all here." Standing at the door of the music classroom, Police Officer Yasui raised his chin slightly, signaling to the people behind him, "The current situation is all normal, but I don't know when something may suddenly go wrong. At most three, no, two and a half hours later, they must be sent back, and the reason they told their families was 'send them to the special department for inspection', at least they got them out, but we can't delay too long."

The staff and teachers of the whole school were prohibited from entering the school today. They were the only ones in the huge Seagull Elementary School, which seemed empty and quiet. Officer Yasui also subconsciously lowered the volume, and spoke to Ranpo and Yosano in a low voice. say.

He didn't pay much attention to the two children who followed them. Ranpo took Nanako to the scene of the incident a few times. Officer Yasui was familiar with this quiet and dull little girl who was like a doll, and he also knew who she was. The child adopted by the detective agency, as for the other little boy, he had seen it several times in the detective agency, and he just thought he was a child of a member's family, and didn't care much.

The sun is very strong today, and it is only after nine o'clock in the morning, and the temperature has already climbed to [-] degrees. Just walking all the way from the school gate to the music classroom, Luanbu complained no less than twenty times in succession, "This annoying "Weather", using your hand as a fan to fan the wind, can only bring up a few weak air currents.

Following Officer Yasui's action of opening the door of the music classroom, the air-conditioning in the room rushed towards his face, and the random steps with his head drooping like wilted grass leaves for half a second were suddenly shaken. During the interval between Officer Yasui's speech, He strode over him into the classroom, and stretched comfortably in the cool air.

"Ah~~~ As expected, you have to stay in a place with air conditioning in summer! Really, why can't you install a big air conditioner in Yokohama—like a cover, directly covering the entire Yokohama, if there is such a superpower Enough!"

He didn't consciously lower his volume at all. He spoke in a slightly elevated tone as usual. The boy's penetrating voice resounded in the empty music classroom, and even a faint echo could be heard.

A little police officer waiting in the classroom immediately served him iced marble soda, which was just taken out of the refrigerator in the convenience store a few minutes ago. In such a hot weather, the cold bottle Quickly engulfed by the heat in the air, large droplets of water condensed.

Luanbu happily took the soda, thanked the little police officer casually, drank half a bottle of cold soda in one go, and then exhaled a big breath from his chest, turned his head towards the policeman standing at the door Nanako waved: "Nanako, come over to Dad!"

He called Nanako to his side like a puppy, and then drove out the few police officers who stayed in the house, leaving only Officer Yasui.

Instructing Gogol to close the door, he waved the soda in his hand, pointed at Nanako to a row of stretchers in the classroom, and said:

"Nanako, go and help Dad wake up these idiots who are sleeping late."

He said to Nanako in a very natural tone, as if those lying there were not seven "difficult patients" who had been in a coma for two weeks and left a group of doctors helpless, but just a few children who were lazily sleeping.

Officer Yasui was about to step forward to stop his reckless behavior, but as soon as he raised his outstretched hand, he immediately took it back. He and Luanbu have known each other for almost three years, and they have cooperated in at least a hundred cases. On average, every two or three days, he would receive help from the other party, intentionally or unintentionally. It can be said that no policeman in Yokohama is more familiar with this young detective than him.

Although there are always some unexpected and confusing actions, the facts have proved that none of the words that Ranbu said is incorrect.

He let Nanako pass by.

Nanako didn't quite understand what Police Officer Yasui said before, but Nanako only knew that the children lying on the stretcher seemed to be sick, and they had to be sent to the hospital or something—but then again, why did they have to go to the hospital when they were sick? call police?

Not understanding what was going on, she looked at the row of stretchers a few steps away, then looked up at the careless walking, and then slowly moved to the stretcher closest to her On the side, poked his head and glanced at the little girl lying on the stretcher.

The eight or nine-year-old girl looked only a little pale, not haggard, and her figure was not thin.

【...Shouldn't be touched. 】

Nanako hesitated and stretched out her short hand, like jelly, poking the little girl's arm with little effort.

She didn't know what the disease was. She was a little afraid of stabbing someone to death. If the other party's family came to ask for compensation, she might have to live on the streets in advance.

The little girl's arms shook, but she didn't show any signs of waking up. Her breathing was steady and long, as if she was in a deep sleep.

Nanako grabbed the edge of the stretcher, exerted a little more strength, and pushed her arm again. The little girl was moved by the push. Nanako saw her eyelids tremble slightly, as if she was about to wake up, so Nanako reassured her and pushed her hard again.

The little girl lying on the stretcher uttered a modal particle vaguely from her throat, slowly opened her eyes, then climbed up from the stretcher, rubbing her eyes sleepily as if she had just woken up After raising his head, he looked at the surrounding scene blankly.

"Well……?"

The little girl's voice was still a little hoarse and soft after waking up, as if she didn't understand what happened at all.

Nanako thought about it, and felt as if she knew what was going on.

【—Oh, it’s child abduction. 】

So this row of little kids are all kids who were stunned by human traffickers and want to abduct them for sale. After she wakes up these kids, she will send them to the hospital for examination. No wonder Officer Yasui said just now, "put them Get them out", "send them back", and "talk to the family members" and so on.

Feeling that she understood the cause and effect, Nanako immediately felt relieved.Without the worry of "may be touched", she ran back and forth between the stretchers, pushing the remaining children awake one by one.

After finishing the work, Nanako ran back to Ranbu's side on her short legs, scratched her head, and stood beside him by the hem of Ranbu's clothes, like a small stake, what expression on her dull face Can't see it.

Officer Yasui: "..."

He looked at Ranbu with complicated eyes, and he felt as if he knew something extraordinary.But Ranpo just patted Nanako on the head carelessly, and said to Police Officer Yasui nonchalantly: "Okay, now we can send these brats back to the hospital—for the sake of regular customers, this service will not work." You will be charged additionally."

Although he wanted to ask in detail, Officer Yasui suppressed his inquisitiveness for the time being, and asked Ranpo: "Is this all right? So what is this incident..."

"Yes? How is that possible! Officer Yasui, has your brain degenerated into that of a monkey? How could you have such an idiotic idea." Ranpo said harsh words in an innocent tone, "Really, I said it all This is just an 'extra service', the case is not resolved and it's time for a detective to work."

Standing beside Ranpo, listening to Ranpo's fast-paced chatter, Nanako felt that it was no big deal that Ranpo hadn't been fired by the detective agency so far.

It's a miracle that her stupid dad hasn't been killed by any Party A yet.

Looking at Mr. Police Officer who didn't change his face in front of her, Nanako felt that the superficial words "good guy" were not enough to describe Officer Yasui's saintly heart, and she silently tore off the "good guy" label that she had put on him before. come down

Then put on a [Male Bodhisattva].

******

Several children who woke up were sent back to the hospital for physical examination.

The incident has not been resolved, or according to Ranpo's words, the incident is just beginning to be resolved. This time, even police officer Yasui was locked outside the music classroom, leaving Yosano and Ranpo alone. Inside, Nanako and Gogol were sent off to play by him very perfunctorily.

Nanako didn't know what fun there could be in an empty school where most of the rooms were locked and it was hot and sunny. She stood in front of the closed door of the music classroom, thought about it, and planned to go to the school first. toilet.

There is no toilet on the floor where the music classroom is located, so Nanako ran to the floor downstairs, followed by Gogol who had nothing to do.

The corridor was very hot and stuffy. Even with the windows open, there was only one or two wisps of breeze blowing over the window sill, which could only be called "draft".After leaving the air-conditioned room for just a short while, Nanako felt that the clothes on her back were soaked with sweat.Gogol followed her, but he didn't seem to be very hot, his hairy braids hung down his back, and his face didn't sweat a single drop.

He looked relaxed, with a contented look on his smiling face, his golden eyes were curved, he was looking left and right at the novel environment around him, and his steps were brisk.

Nanako found the toilet sign at the end of this floor.

Standing at the door of the toilet, Nanako raised her head and distinguished the pattern on the door of the toilet. On the left door was a blue villain, and on the right door was a red villain in a skirt.

She went into the toilet on the right.

The floor was covered with clean floor tiles, and there was a faint smell of air freshener in the toilet. Bright sunlight fell in from the open window and shone on the mirror of the sink, reflecting harsh light.

Nanako saw a person standing by the window of the toilet directly in front of her.

A man in strange clothes.

His hair is short and silver-white, but it is very messy and fluffy. His complexion seems to be a darker wheat color. He is not tall and looks like he is only in the third or fourth grade. He is wearing a black dress that looks like a kimono. He was wearing straw sandals and a white foot bag, and there was something like a long knife tied behind his back.

He stood by the window with his back to Nanako, turned his body slightly, and looked out the window.

Nanako took a step back.

Take another step back.

Continue to retreat.

She exited the toilet, raised her little head, and looked at the pattern on the door again.

—Red, little people in dresses.

Nanako ran to the toilet opposite the door and took a look. There was a blue figure on the door. She glanced inside again and saw a row of urinals. Now she was sure that she had gone to the wrong toilet just now.

She ran back to the toilet with the little red figure on it, opened the door and took a look in. The strangely dressed "boy" was still standing by the window.

As if sensing Nanako's gaze, the "boy" suddenly turned his face, and met Nanako's dark eyes with calm and calm eyes.

Nanako noticed that the "boy" seemed to be taken aback suddenly.

【Gan, that's weird. 】

Nanako, who met the eyes of the "boy", retracted her little head silently, only a little furry black hair was exposed by the door frame, and after a few seconds, she poked her little head out again.

[... Take another look. 】

"..."

She still couldn't tell whether the "boy" inside was a boy or a girl.

It looked like a boy, but why would a boy be in the women's bathroom so naturally?Still wearing such weird clothes.Could it be that "she" is cosplaying?Dressed up like a boy?

After thinking about it for a long time, Nanako decided to change to another toilet. She was about to turn around and leave when two different voices sounded in the toilet and beside her ears at the same time:

"You...can you see me?"

The "boy" in the toilet frowned, his slightly hoarse voice was as cold and serious as ice cubes in midwinter.

"Whoah~! There's a boy in the girl's bathroom!"

The exaggerated tone overwhelmed the boy's voice, leaning close to Nanako and poking his head out. Gogol's golden eyes were bent into crescent moons, and he looked at the boy in the toilet with a smile.

"Is this the so-called 'pervert'?" He asked with a naive tone with a deep smile on his face.

"Uh," the boy choked on him, and subconsciously retorted, "You're the pervert! You speak in a weird tone!"

"Hmm?! Is it weird? Is my tone of voice weird?"

"It's as weird as it sounds like a pervert!"

【…】

Nanako thinks that both of them are quite perverted.

She retracted her little head silently, and went to find a new toilet by herself.
