After becoming a chaotic daughter

At 08:30 in the morning, approaching work time, the detective agency gradually became lively.

The clerks are sorting out the materials for today's work, and the employees who came early have almost done their hygiene.Yawning and stepping into the detective agency, the bleary-eyed Luanbu let go and let Nanako play by herself. She slumped into the soft and comfortable office chair, covered her face with the morning newspaper delivered this morning, and began to catch up on sleep.

Yesterday, he went back and forth on a business trip to Kyushu for a whole day. He was not a person who was diligent in exercising. Even just sitting in the car and running around made him exhausted. He almost overslept this morning because of staying in bed.Although he is a person who does whatever he wants, for the regulations of the detective agency, Ranpo will honestly abide by the most basic bottom line.

——It is absolutely not allowed to be late, it is not a problem to sit behind the desk and sleep.

Everyone was busy, and Gogol also slipped to the infirmary to pull the bed sheets every day. Nanako stood on tiptoe and got her small cup from the chaotic desk, holding the small porcelain cup and wanted to go to the tea room Pour milk to drink.

With short legs, she opened the door of the detective agency, walked to the opposite side of the corridor, then raised her short hand, tried to reach the doorknob of the tea room, pulled it down, and the door of the tea room opened with a creak .

Only a dim corner of the room can be seen through the crack of the door. No one has come to the tea room in the morning, so no one has turned on the lights.Nanako stretched out her hand and pushed the door open. The light in the tea room was dim, and it was quiet as usual.

—except in one place.

With her little head down, Nanako looked expressionlessly at the extra mass of "things" in the center of the empty floor in the tea room.

【...a bit familiar. 】

Nanako thought in her heart, her swarthy eyes were fixed on the ball of country-style flowered quilt bulging on the floor.

Holding her little cup, she moved it to the side of the ball of cotton quilt little by little without making a sound, then carefully raised a little foot, and kicked it lightly on the ball of flower quilt for a moment.

The cotton quilt remained motionless, like a solid little fortress.

Nanako held her breath and waited nervously for a while, seeing that there was no movement in the quilt, she raised her foot again, held her breath, and kicked hard.

boom

She kicked on the quilt, using all her strength, and was pushed back several steps by the back force, and finally sat down on the floor of the tea room, the cup in her hand almost fell on the ground.

[... Butt hurts. 】

[The feet also hurt. 】

Nanako got up holding the cup, touched her little butt, and saw the quilt in front of her shake.A hand stretched out from under the bright red flowered quilt, groped around a few times, and finally grabbed the glasses case next to it.

A head with black hair more disheveled than a bird's nest protruded from the quilt.

"Ah... is it already morning?"

With thick dark circles under her eyes, Huadai, who stayed up all night, asked deliriously to the air in front of her.

Nanako standing behind him: "..."

Not understanding why the flower bag was talking to the air, Nanako scratched her little head, thought for a while, and ran to pour her milk.

******

The smuggling case in Kyushu Island was declared closed, and the subsequent handover with the police, settlement of commission fees, and trivial matters such as reports, as usual, were all handled by Xie Ye who went with him as usual.

After resting lazily for a day, after answering a telephone consultation from the Yokohama City Police, he finally reluctantly got out of his lazy state, and in his detective agency "the only one" I sat up straight in the luxurious office chair, took out a blank report to be filled out from the thin file rack on the table, took a pen in my mouth, thought about the wording for a second, and then began to "wave" eloquently. Pen splashing ink", and then leisurely went to the president's office with this impromptu report.

"President—I'm coming in!"

Almost at the same time as the sound was made, he had already pushed the door straight in without manners, trotted into the president's office, and threw the report he had just finished on the president's desk. He threw himself into the sofa in the president's room, as lazy as a boneless slime.

"Thank you." Turning a blind eye to Ranpo's unruly appearance, Fukuzawa Yukichi took the report on the table and asked calmly, "Has the matter entrusted to you been concluded?"

"Well... so-so." Ranbu replied.

"So what is your judgment?"

The whole person lay directly on the sofa, stretched out his hands randomly and took a candy from a small plate on the coffee table—it was for Nanako to eat when she was in class with the president—peeled off the candy wrapper, and threw it into the candy lightly. Biting the candy in his mouth, he gave the answer very simply and neatly:

"—Let's pass~"

While speaking, he bit the candy in his mouth loudly, and said lazily: "There is nothing to talk about talents—including abilities. You can infiltrate the military system without being discovered, and you can do it at will. The use of the military satellite of the Secret Service Division is enough to prove his ability, and even without relying on you, the president, he can still master and exert his abilities well. In this regard, he is already better than many people with abilities. .”

"Indeed." Fukuzawa Yukichi nodded.

In less than a day, the internal system of the detective agency was simply upgraded, and the system originally provided by the Secret Service Division was updated and improved into a model that is more suitable for the detective agency.The clerks who have used the new system have given good feedback. During the lunch break, they even started queuing up to the tea room to reserve flower bags to update the mobile phone system.

Even with the blessing of supernatural powers, this is enough to prove that Huadai is a capable person.

"As for anything else—"

Having said that, Ranbu paused for a moment, then bit the candy and began to count with his fingers, one by one.

"Although he is a decadent and unambitious uncle who squats at home, he is able to complete all the tasks entrusted to him, and he has a sense of responsibility, plus [-] points."

"Taking care of Nanako actually wanted to give her instant noodles, because Kunikida refused to order takeout, and I didn't eat it in the end, so I only deducted five points."

"Proactively install alarm software for Nanako, instead of simply taking her to play games, add [-] points, even the work that Nanako asks for will be done well, will not perfunctory children, add [-] points-but the guardian is wrong Whoever deducts ten points for this point!"

"There are talents and convenient abilities in the computer network, but they did not use this ability to go astray, but continued to do odd jobs on the Internet honestly, and only used the abilities to finish the work quickly. Kejia, add [-] points."

"at last,"

"That stubborn and principled guy Kunikida will not avoid suspicion and make up his mind to introduce him to the detective agency. For this alone, it is worth twenty initial points."

"10-5+20+10-10+20+20——" Luanbu reported a long list of formulas, and finally said, "... Calculated in this way, 65 points, barely qualified, other The small additions and subtractions are not included in the calculation, that's about it!"

"If your inference is so, then I don't have any worries." Fukuzawa Yukichi listened to his long passage calmly, and took out a copy from the drawer with a calm expression. After signing and stamping the good membership documents, he shouted Luanbu over to pick them up, "Take this document to the clerk's office and give it to the secretary."

He handed over the membership documents in his hand to Ranpo, officially acknowledging Huadai's membership.

Seeing Ranpo leaving the office with the documents, Fukuzawa Yukichi lowered his head, his gaze swept across Ranpo's scribbled report. In addition to the reasons just mentioned, the report also wrote in bits and pieces. There are many small items for adding or subtracting points, one sentence here and another, it seems illogical, and it is a mess, like a scratch paper scribbled on.

But it can also be seen that most of the above are short sentences with plus signs. If you really want to calculate it carefully, the "score" of the flower bag must be far more than "65", a value that just crosses the line.

As Ranpo said at the beginning, the "65 points" he reported later was just a number he said "so-so".

Just an "entry test" has solved several problems of the detective agency. The addition of newcomers will definitely greatly improve the work efficiency of the detective agency. This is indeed good news.

The internal system of the detective agency is not smooth.

Nanako's trip is safe.

as well as--

Fukuzawa Yukichi glanced at the cell phone by the table, and it seemed that the cell phone, which seemed to be the same as usual, had already been installed with a "guardian system" similar to that of Ranpo cell phone.

The same system also appeared in Kunikida and Yosano's mobile phones. According to the newcomer who "stationed" in the tea room, Nanako secretly asked him to install another one in the morning.

Fukuzawa Yukichi let out a long breath of relief.

——The detective agency finally no longer has to worry about wandering and getting lost.

As a mature squatting at home, Kabuki took his beloved Yoshiko and settled down in the tea room of the detective agency. He huddled under the quilt and tapped on the computer every day, and occasionally helped the clerks solve problems with computers or mobile phones. piece of cake.

The clerks who got help respected him very much, especially after discovering that Kunikida, who has always been strict and scrupulous, felt very embarrassed by this, they even revered and interestingly fed him every day... No, it was presented to the flower bag The tribute, looks like a respectful worship.

Since then, there has been a strange "God of Tea Room" in the detective agency.

After October, the weather gradually cooled down.

The recent weather is not very good. It has been gloomy for several days. The hazy sky is falling from the gaps between the clouds, and it is difficult to see the sun.

Early in the morning, when she was woken up on time by the alarm clock at seven o'clock, Nanako dazedly slapped the alarm clock next to the quilt, sat up from the warm quilt, and was suddenly shivering from the coolness in the air, sleeping The bewildered little head became much clearer, and immediately pulled the quilt back to sleep.

Stretching out a short hand, Nanako pulled the uniform on the side of the quilt into the quilt, and immediately slid her head back in, covering her head and hiding in the quilt for a long time before changing. Putting on the uniform, he slowly crawled out and ran to the bathroom to wash up.

"Good morning~"

With a head of loose white hair, Gogol yawned, pulled on his slippers and walked into the bathroom, his golden eyes narrowed into a line, overflowing with physiological tears.

"Grumble rumble..."

Nanako, who was full of toothpaste, answered him vaguely.

Two little radish heads squeezed together on the edge of the sink. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Gogol still had to braid his pigtails. Nanako grabbed the comb and combed his messy black hair into order. Just ran out of the bathroom, ran into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator to find her breakfast.

The weather was not very good, the sea breeze was so cold that it seemed to chill people's bones. In such weather, the matter of going to the supermarket to purchase was completely forgotten by Chaobu.There is only one egg, two bottles of soda, a bag of instant pasta, and two boxes of milk in the deserted refrigerator.

Sandwiches and rice balls were gone, so Nanako had no choice but to step on a small bench, take out two cartons of milk, pour them into cups and stuff them in the microwave, and wait for Gogol with her braided hair to come out, sitting on the tatami mat, sharing a cup for each person and drank it.

When Gogol went to wash the cups, Nanako lay on the tatami mat and folded up her little futon with great effort, then stuffed them all together with the little pillow and duckling into the closet, and then crawled back to the futon that was walking around side, pushed him hard.

"Dad, get up."

"Hmm... sleep a little longer..."

"Dad, it's almost seven fifty, get up."

Nanako pushed him harder.

"Whoosh..."

Ranpo turned over, turned his back to Nanako and continued to sleep soundly.

Nanako: "..."

She sat on the edge of Luanbu's quilt, lowered her head, and rested her small head on Luanbu's back.

Then I started to try to walk in disorder.

One, two, three.

Ranbu, who was soundly asleep, grunted twice, retracted his head under the quilt, and then moved to the side away from Nanako.

Keep sleeping.

With the fourth arch, Nanako fell headlong on the futon, turned over, and her vision changed from the white futon to the ceiling above her head, lying on her back on the futon that was walking wildly.The little short leg slammed on Luanbu's body with a thud, causing Luanbu in the bed to groan twice again in a daze.

Nanako: "..."

She stared at the ceiling above her head for a while, and when she heard the sound of water washing Gogol's cups stop, she slapped her buttocks and got up, straightened the overturned skirt, ran to the corner and put her on her back. Small schoolbag, I went to the porch to put on my shoes by myself.

Smelly dad, just know how to sleep.

Nanako, who failed to wake up Ranpo for the eighth time since the beginning of autumn, thought blankly.

The author has something to say:

Note: In the original book, the flower bag actually joined the agency after the Cangwang incident (that is, the incident caused by Miss Sasaki's lover). Dazai resigned before joining the agency. He only worked in the detective agency for a short period of time. The reason for joining the agency I want to help Kunikida (BD special content)

The article is a private setting, or it can be regarded as a butterfly effect, which led to Hanaki being invited by Kunikida to join the club in advance

"The God of Tea Room" is the nickname mentioned in the bonus
