After becoming a chaotic daughter

But soon, Nanako realized that she seemed to be shocked too early.

When I came back to my senses, the Chinese characters on the phone screen had changed from [Edogawa Ranho] to:

【Edogawa Ranho】

【Fukuzawa Yukichi】

【With Akiko Yosano】

【Kunikida Doho】

"Kunikida Doppo" had no recollection on her, "Yoyano Akiko" seemed to have vaguely seen it in some miscellaneous book, "Fukuzawa Yukichi"... the name seemed a little familiar.

Isn't that the name of the man printed on the Japanese ten thousand dollar bill?

Nanako still remembers that this person seems to be a writer and an educator. She is not a well-read student, but just read a lot of random books. As for the books written by Fukuzawa Yukichi, she has never read any of them. She only knows this Someone once wrote a sentence that looked very powerful, "Don't make people superior, don't make people inferior", other than that, there are gossips about this person and his wife's deep affection and insistence on monogamy.

As for Yosano Akiko, she also remembered.

She did see an article mentioning this name in a magazine. The article mentioned Yosano Akiko is a rare and famous female writer in Japan, and she is an active devotee of the feminist movement. The female writer is arguably the most famous poetess in Japan. Her life is hard, but her works are extremely beautiful, and her love and resentment with her husband are also full of twists and turns.

Nanako fell silent, although she had always been silent, but now she was silent from the bottom of her heart.

A huge question was posed in front of her:

Where and what era did she wear to?

Of the four names on the screen of the phone, three are [Father of Japanese Mystery Novels], [Literary Man Printed on Ten Thousand Dollar Bills], [Famous Female Poet with Historic Name], and the remaining one, Although she has no impression, she is obviously not an ordinary person. She is probably a writer who has no strange anecdotes and concentrates on writing, so she does not appear in the miscellaneous books she has read.

Could it be that this place is actually a writers' association or magazine called [Detective Agency]?

... Doesn't it seem impossible?After all, she had seen it in miscellaneous books, some writers would co-found magazines and the like.

But it seems wrong.

Nanako bit her finger and thought about it. She remembered Ranpo Edogawa—the cheap father she just met seemed to start writing novels after she got married. Before she started writing novels, the business company opened by her father closed down , He has worked in various jobs, such as printer, postman, clerical staff, etc., but none of them persisted in the end, either he was fired or he didn't want to do it.The consequence of not having a job is that there is no money, the living conditions are becoming increasingly difficult, and it is difficult to make ends meet.

That is... Could it be that now is the time for Edogawa Ranpo to work at the club opened by Fukuzawa Yukichi? !

Although I don’t remember when these people were born, but as we all know, Japan is only such a big place, and it’s not uncommon for writers to talk about each other, and it’s not uncommon for them to have accidental intersections in the early years, just like Edogawa Ranpo and Osamu Dazai seem like writers from two worlds, but Nanako remembers that both of them knew Ango Sakaguchi, maybe Edogawa Ranpo and Osamu Dazai had a drink together.

When she thought about it, it made more sense.

The memories left by those miscellaneous books she had read before gradually became clearer, and she gradually remembered that Edogawa Ranpo wrote mystery novels and detective novels, and he himself did have the idea of ​​becoming a detective.

I don’t remember which book I saw it in, but it probably means “Edogawa Ranpo almost became a detective. If he really became like that, there will be one less reasoning in the Japanese literary world.” Novel masters", something like this.

and so……

When Edogawa Ranpo was young, he worked in the detective agency founded by Fukuzawa Yukichi, and was later fired. Then he turned to the path of a mystery novelist, and eventually became the father of Japanese mystery novels?

【I see. 】

Nanako felt like she understood completely.

Well-founded, complete logic, sufficient evidence, the truth is already in front of her eyes!

With a small face, she hammered the palm of her left hand with her right hand, and she suddenly realized, enlightened, and enlightened.

Strolling into the reception room, the silver fork in his hand jingled the white porcelain plate, and moved the largest piece of cake into a small plate. He lay down on the sofa and was about to eat the cake, but He found Nanako who was sitting in Yosano's arms opposite him, looking at him with a kind of pitiful eyes.

Ranpo: Ang?

[It's so pitiful, I will be fired in another month. 】

Looking at Luanbu who had no sense of crisis and was only focused on eating cakes, Nanako couldn't help worrying about her future. As she thought so, she turned her little head to the other side and stared blankly at Kuni who was sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite. Kida.

[……Should I change my father again. 】

Kunikida: ...

I don't know why, but there was a sudden chill behind my back.

Nanako said without any psychological burden to this young man who looked mature but was actually younger than she was when she was alive:

"dad."

Kunikida: ...? ? ? ? ? ?

There was a trace of cracks in the rigid expression on the boy's face.

Holding a large piece of cream cake that had been cut off, Edogawa bit the fork indiscriminately, glanced at the head of the little radish whose eyes were not on his body, and then at the rookie who the little radish was looking at.

【Oh, sure enough, children are idiots. 】

His head moved, and it took only a moment to think of a reasonable reason for Nanako's actions.

[I can't even remember my father's face. 】

As a "new dad" who has just taken office and is still a little eager to try, Luanbu, who has not yet dissipated the "3-minute enthusiasm", feels that he should fulfill the duties of a "dad" and take care of the "daughter" who is not very smart.

So he moved to the side, pushed Kunikida away from the sofa, and sat down where Nanako was looking.

"what!"

He replied with a confident look, the cake cream was still on the edge of his mouth.

Nanako: ...I'm not calling you.

[Is this idiot really the father of Japanese mystery novels? 】

Now she wonders if the Japanese mystery novels are about to end. Maybe this is just a parallel world, and Ranpo Edogawa in this parallel world is an idiot. In that case, there will still be other powerful Japanese mystery novels... The writer supported it, and it seems that the problem is not too big.

In contrast, in Japanese mystery novels, there will always be literary giants rushing to rescue it, but now it seems that the only one who can rescue Nanako is herself.

All in all, before the new dad can write mystery novels, let's make sure he won't be fired from this detective agency.

Worried, she had a small face and frowned eyebrows and crawled down from Yosano Akiko's arms. She tried her best to stand on tiptoe and reach for the cake on the low table, but she soon discovered something thing.

【…】

Gan, the hands are too short for her to reach.

Nanako looked at the cream cake which was at least ten centimeters away from her hand, and fell silent.

******

Edogawa Ranpo discovered a big problem.

He found that his newly picked carrot head could not speak very well, or, to be more precise - could not speak Japanese.

Two radishes, one big and one small, held their respective cream cakes, squatted in front of Nanako with big eyes and small eyes, opened their mouths wide, and spoke to Nanako word by word:

"Happy birthday--"

Nanako opened her dark round eyes and followed him expressionlessly:

"First... day... block... fall..."

"...No! It's 'Sheng, Ri, Kuai, Le'!" Luanbu, who had failed to correct it three times, held his cake, his messy black hair was about to explode, "Sheng! Sun! Hurry up! Happy! "

"Follow me to read—birth, day, fast, happy!"

"Life, standing, fast, hot..."

"Happy birthday--!"

"Mori, Ri, Frame, Le..."

"Happy birthday--!!!"

"..."

Seeing Ranbu whose hair was blown up in front of her eyes, Nanako blinked slowly.

【... Japanese is so difficult to read. 】

Thinking of this, she slowly opened her mouth, and uttered a sentence to Luanbu in a straight voice:

"...Happy birthday."

Ranbu: "...??????"

What's the matter with this little kid? ? ?

He snatched the cake from Nanako's hand and held it high above his head: "If you don't say happy birthday, don't even want to eat my cake!"

Nanako's reaction was a bit slow, she looked at the extra cake in Ranpo's hand, then at the small spoon left in her hand, turned around and left Ranpo on the spot, dong dong With a bang, he ran to Yosano Akiko's side.

"Cake, no more... eat." She tugged on Xie Ye's sleeve, tightly clutched the small spoon in her other hand, raised her small face, there was no gleam in her dark eyes, and blinked. Staring at Yosano without blinking, with a flat tone and a dry expression, he looked like a lifeless doll, with "want to eat" written on the left face and "cake" written on the right.

Yosano, who had just cut a piece of cake for Nanako, was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Luanbu holding a plate of cake in his left hand and a plate of cake in his right hand.

With Xie Ye: "..."

Ranbu: "..."

Seeing what Xie Ye was thinking at a glance, Luanbu immediately jumped up: "I didn't——!"

He didn't steal the kid's cake!

She didn't speak to Xie Ye, but her eyes had subtly settled on the two plates of cakes in his hand.

Has Mr. Ranpo already started snatching children's things?

Her mood and expression became complicated together.

Although for various reasons, like Xie Ye and the president, she has always indulged Ranpo who is a year older than herself, but she just thinks that Ranpo is just a little bit arrogant and childish, and her wayward words and deeds are not It wasn't too much, but she really didn't expect it.

Unexpectedly, Luanbu even "snatched" the children's cakes.

She looked at Luanbu helplessly with an expression of "you don't need to hide it, I know it all", she helped her forehead with a headache, and sighed softly.

"Mr. Ranpo..." She hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, just sighed again, and went to cut a new cake for Nanako. Out of guilt, when she dropped the knife this time, the angle It was fifteen degrees higher than before, and a bigger cake was cut for Nanako.

Bending down and handing the small plate containing the cake to Nanako, Yosano looked at Ranbu when he got up, paused, and then sighed subtly.

Like a hard-working mother watching her rebellious son fail.

Random steps: ...

He heard it! !He heard it all! !What does that "ah" mean!It's useless to turn your head, he heard it all!He obviously did nothing!He didn't want to grab the little kid's cake! !

Angrily, he threw himself into the sofa, and ate a plate of cake as if venting his anger. The spoon in his hand dug up a good piece of cake, and the other plate was snatched from Nanako. He threw the cake on the low table.

Halfway through eating, there was a sudden thumping sound beside him.Edogawa swallowed the cake in his mouth in random steps, turned his head and saw that Nanako was dragging a small bench awkwardly, taking a step, stopping for two seconds and resting, slowly moving over like a little turtle.She was short, and two and a half of the four legs of the small bench dragged on the ground, and the floor tiles rattled when dragged.

Holding her cake in one hand and dragging the small bench with the other, Nanako dragged the small bench to the edge of the low table, and put it down next to the sofa where she was scrambling.

Holding the cake in her hand and putting it on the low table, she stepped on the small bench with difficulty, and reached out to pick up the plate of cake that was put down in the middle of the low table.The two plates of cakes were lined up neatly on the edge of the low table. She supported the table, climbed off the small bench unsteadily, stepped on the floor, and sat down on the small bench.

Two plates of cakes were placed in front of her.

Picking up the spoon, Nanako finally started to eat her cake hard.

Digging a spoonful on the left and digging a spoonful on the right, the little radish sits on the small bench one by one, with her head down, she can only see the little whirlpool above her head, and the little spoon she is trying to dig into the cake in her hand , with a strict eye, without rushing, never favoring one over another, preferring which plate of cake, perfectly achieving "a bowl of water is flat".

Edogawa Ranpo has already begun to think about how to persuade the president to throw back the newly picked-up daughter.

The author has something to say:

Nanako: This dad doesn’t seem to work (think about how to change it)

Ranpo: This daughter is definitely not good (thinking about how to throw it back

Because Japanese fifty-syllabic spelling is relatively unfamiliar to many people, sentences with inarticulate words are replaced with Chinese homonyms, such as "Thank you" → "Write".

The language problem is because the plot cannot be ignored, and there is no way to take into account the reading habits of all readers at the same time (the original text is still Chinese in the text, and the translation is still written in the text), so the foreign languages ​​​​appearing in the text (Kanaji, Japanese Kanji, Russian, etc.) etc.) will not be revised, basically words will be translated in the text, and sentences will be translated when the author has something to say, and Chinese homonyms will be used for inarticulate speech.

In the future, no further changes will be made to the article because of this problem.

All foreign languages ​​basically come from the translator, if there is any problem, thank you for pointing it out.
