After becoming a chaotic daughter

The smile on Bian Li Wei Shi's face froze slightly.

"...Haven't you picked it up?" He sped up his speech a little bit, and asked Nanako the same question again.

Holding a porcelain white teacup, Nanako sat on a somewhat high chair, facing the questioning gaze of the blonde boy, she subtly shifted her gaze a little bit, and shook her small but very quickly a few times. There was no trace of guilty conscience on her head and expressionless face, but Wei Shi inexplicably felt a sense of guilty conscience from her movements.

Weishi: "..."

He subconsciously raised his hand to touch the little puppet lying beside the saucer, but immediately stretched out his fingertips to a thin book on the table as if nothing had happened.

"Does Nanako like picture books?" he asked.

Nanako gave a vague "huh" and neither said she liked it nor said she didn't like it. She held up the teacup, lowered her head and sipped the fragrant scented scented tea. Only a pair of dark round eyes were exposed from the rim of the cup, staring at the teacup. On the table in front of Nadeko, who was diagonally across from her.

Like Yuise, there is also a small doll lying beside Nadeshiko's hand. It is a doll of a little girl in a kimono. It looks elegant and beautiful, very similar to Nadeko herself.

Her gaze was still fixed on the beautiful kimono doll, and Yuise, who was directly opposite, supported the table and stood up. Across the entire round table, she handed the picture book in her hand to Nanako's eyes.

"Then, let's take a look at this picture book." He said to Nanako.

Slowly putting down the teacup in her hand, Nanako raised her small short hand, took the picture book that was a little too big for her, spread it out in front of her, buried her head on the table, and flipped through the pages one by one. past.

It is a very thin picture book, with only a dozen pages, mostly pictures, with only two or three short sentences on each page, and the pronunciation of the Chinese characters is marked with fifty syllables.

Nanako is already very proficient in reading and writing Japanese, and the sentences in the picture book are also very simple short sentences. It only took her 2 minutes to finish flipping through the picture book.

Most children's picture books are about telling stories and reading nursery rhymes, and this picture book is no exception. It tells a story about "eggs".

In this world, every child has a soul egg that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The soul egg is the "ideal self" in the child's heart. The lost soul egg seeks to find and return to the owner. Started a journey around...

Half of the pages are about what the "Mind Egg" is, half of the pages are about the lost Mind Egg, and there is a page that was torn off in the middle, and then I jumped directly to find the owner of the Mind Egg An ending where happiness and master are inseparable.

The painting style is fresh and cute, and the storyline is simple and clear. It can be said to be a very good children's picture book. As for the torn page—probably the scene when the soul egg finds its owner, Nanako doesn't care much about it. .She closed the picture book, pushed it forward, and said dryly, "...I finished reading it."

"What do you think?" Weishi didn't take back the picture book immediately, but asked Nanako with a smile, "About [egg]...or [ideal self]?"

"..."

Thinking that she was just here for dessert, but now she has to do strange reading comprehension, Nanako drooped her head, her dark eyes stared at the picture book on the table, she rubbed her little butt restlessly on the chair, and wanted to run away up.

There is no delicious cake to eat, and I don’t know how to drink black tea, scented tea has no taste at all, and the cookies and biscuits are not the milk flavor she likes. She wants to go back to eating strawberry cake and fresh orange juice.

"...No." Nanako replied slowly.

Facing Nanako, who is "resisting oil and salt", Benzai Weishi felt a little headache.

He just wanted to ask Nanako how much she knew about the [Guardian Egg], and how she managed to turn the guardian sweetheart into a doll, but Nanako didn't seem to have any intention of answering his words, and used the normal to the extreme The words answered his question, except that he seemed a little guilty when he was asked about "egg", other than that, he didn't respond in any way.

"Okay~! If you don't have it, you don't have it!" Kukai, who was sitting next to Nanako, said with a relaxed face, reaching out to take another cookie from the plate, "I didn't have any ideas when I saw this picture book before. I just think the eggs drawn by the first generation K look quite delicious.”

Nadeko also smiled slightly, and took a sip of black tea: "That's the truth."

"But the 'bad guy' doesn't look delicious~~" Miye stretched out on the table, pouted and muttered, "It's dark, it looks like it will ruin your stomach if you eat it."

"Has Nanako ever seen a black egg?" Nadeko lowered her eyes and put down the teacup in her hand in a dignified and ladylike manner, "Black eggs occasionally appear in the school, and one of the guardian's jobs is to 'hunt' them Black 'bad guy', if you see it, you can come to us and deal with it."

【hunt】

(hunting)

Nanako was a little unsure if Nadeko said that word, or some other Japanese word that sounded similar, but something like "hunting an egg" sounds weird... But then again, why guard Is there such a thing as "picking up eggs" in the job of a reporter?

...Is this some kind of tradition of the Japanese student union?

Nanako, who has not figured out the difference between [Guardian] and [Student Council] until now, is very confused. After all, in her knowledge, even if it is a student council, it seems that she has never heard of any student council whose job content includes "picking eggs" of.

She thought for a while, then scratched her hair that had been messed up by Kukai, and then nodded to Nadeshiko.

"...?" Nadeko showed a slightly surprised expression, "Have you ever seen a black egg?"

"Yeah." Nanako replied in a dull tone.

Wei Shi frowned, and asked hastily, "Where did you see it?"

"...Fountain, square." Nanako dragged the syllables and answered him slowly with a little awkward words, "Pick it up and then... eat it."

There was an eerie silence in the royal garden

"?"

Nanako, who didn't know why, looked at them, then stretched out her short hand, took a cream puff on the table, lowered her head and carefully bit a small mouth, with a small expressionless face, she began to seriously Cream in puffs.

Bian Li Wei Shi felt that things seemed to be getting a little crazy.

******

"...Is the guardian's tea party fun? Are there many delicious snacks? I heard that those guardians are very powerful seniors! Nanako, will you join them in the future and become a member of the guardians? ?”

It has been 10 minutes since the school bell rang, Nanako, who was finally able to return to the classroom after being questioned by a group of strange guardians for a long time, met the third round of the basketball team's training.It's the end of the term soon, and the basketball team's training time has also been shortened, so the three rounds can finish training right after class, change their basketball uniforms and go back to the classroom to pack their schoolbags.

As a curious child, Miwa asked Nanako several questions in one breath, her big sky blue eyes sparkled with thirst for knowledge, and stars almost popped out.

Carrying a small schoolbag, Nanako and Miwa walked towards the school gate together. It was the time for club activities. There were groups of schools everywhere on the road in the school, and the whole school seemed to be lively.

After three rounds of questioning, she replied, "It's not good...no cake and juice."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Tea, and scones, cookies, puffs."

"Oh... what are scones?"

"Bread with jam."

It sounds really ordinary, and it seems that only "tea" is more advanced, but as an ordinary child, Miwa, like most children, prefers to drink sweet and sour fruit juice.

With a disappointed "Oh", she immediately lifted her spirits and asked curiously, "Nanako, do you want to join the guardian?"

Nanako shook her head.

"Why?" Sanlun was a little surprised.

"The guardian wants to pick up balls in school... I don't want to pick them up." Nanako said honestly.

...What is picking up balls?

A question mark slowly appeared on Sanlun's small blue head.

Is it the "picking up balls" she understood?But there is no chicken coop in the school, where are the eggs to pick? ...Could it be the goose nest on the other side of the artificial lake?

Frowning her small eyebrows seriously and thinking for a while, Miwa felt as if she understood what Nanako said.

Indeed, it is too dangerous to go to a goose nest to dig eggs. Nanako is so short, she must not be able to do it. What if she is driven into the lake by a big goose.

That being said, the Guardian is truly a Guardian!He was able to fight the big goose!

The three rounds who were chased by geese when they were young were suddenly in awe.

They walked to the gate of the school together. Today's weather is not too hot and there is no sun, so Ranpo walked from the detective agency to the school to pick up Nanako.When Nanako walked to the school gate, he was squatting on the side of the road reading the weekly comics he bought when he passed by a bookstore on the road. There were several little boys around him, reading the comic books in his hand together.

"Wow! So cool!"

"Come on, Ceciro!"

"Thomas is too rubbish! It will drag you down!"

A group of boys chattered and commented, gathered together noisily, and surrounded Chaobu in the middle. Nanako ran over with her small schoolbag on her back, and then stretched out her short hands to squeeze. Going in, he tugged on Luanbu's small cloak vigorously.

"dad."

"Lightning shock—!"

"dad,"

"Injured, injured! Oops, the pastor isn't here!"

"father!"

"Anubis is so strong!"

"..."

Nanako's small voice was drowned out by the noisy voices of a group of boys.

She let go of Ranbu's small cloak, stretched out her soft little hands, and then held a small section of Luanbu's upturned hair.

拽、

"Wow - it hurts!" Luanbu, who was reading comics with relish, immediately jumped up covering his head, and the little boys around him spread out, revealing the little carrot head that was pushed out by them.

"Father." Nanako stretched out her hand again, grabbed the little cloak of Ranbu, raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Huh?" Squinting his eyes and looking down at his idiot daughter, he put away the comic book in his hand and put it in his arms, stretched out his hand to hold Nanako, and complained in a low voice, "Nanako, don't do it next time Pulling daddy's hair, it hurts and it's going to be bald, and if you're bald, you'll only have a bald daddy—no, a detective can't be bald... Anyway, don't pull daddy's hair!"

Nanako heard him finish complaining, and then said slowly: "...Dad, I called you, you ignore me."

"..."

Edogawa Ranpo decided to pretend that he didn't say anything just now, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Okay - let's go back to the detective agency!"

"Hey! I haven't finished watching yet!"

"Look a little longer, big brother!"

"There is only a little left to finish watching the Galaxy Demon God!"

Surrounded by a group of elementary school students who didn't want to leave the manga, Luanbu gestured to disperse, and said unwillingly: "Don't do it——I'm here to pick up Nanako, not to accompany you little devils to read manga, if you want to read it Then go to the bookstore and buy it yourself."

"Eh--!"

Ignoring the disappointed expressions of a group of little devils, Ranpo stuffed Nanako with a lollipop, and generously stuffed a delicious stick for Miwa, who is Nanako's good friend, and walked towards the detective agency with Nanako.

"Your father is really like a big brother." Biting a delicious stick, Miwa and Nanako whispered, "You look so young, and you can read manga."

Nanako had a lollipop in her mouth, half of her cheeks were swollen by the candy, and she mumbled a "huh" from her mouth.

"Uncle, how old is he?" Miwa asked in a low voice.

"Hmm..." Nanako tilted her head and thought for a while, biting a lollipop and replied, "It seems to be..."

Three rounds: "Wow! So young!"

She calculated in her heart that Nanako's father was only twelve, that is to say, when Nanako was born, her father was only twelve...

【Um? 】

Three rounds suddenly felt like something was weird.
