school.

"Sorry~ I'm going to work in another street today to distribute leaflets, so I won't go with Nanako..." Standing at the school gate, Miwa turned her head to look at Nanako who was struggling to find her schoolbag behind her, and let out a little girl's sigh, "It's so strange that this club has been recruiting employees for so many months—it seems that there are a lot of strange occupations in the newly changed job advertisements."

Standing on tiptoe, Nanako buried her head in her three-wheeled schoolbag and rummaged through it for a long time. After a lot of effort, she finally dragged out a thick stack of leaflets wrapped in old newspapers. , I don’t know how Sanlun managed to carry so many things on his back and walk so briskly.

Nanako handed the flyer to Miwa, and helped her zip up her schoolbag, then shook her head, and said to her in a calm tone, "It's okay."

"Then I'll go first!" Holding a stack of small advertisements, Miwa took out another one and gave it to Nanako as usual, then turned and walked towards the street in the opposite direction from their usual, "Goodbye~"

"Goodbye." Nanako stood on the spot with her small schoolbag on her back, watched the three-wheel trotting figure go away, then grabbed the small advertisement, turned her head, and looked left and right.

No one came to pick her up.

When the school bell rang, she checked her phone, but she didn't receive a message, so someone should have come to pick her up, but she didn't see Luanbu or anyone else at the school gate.Nanako took out her children's mobile phone from her pocket, opened the cover and looked at it, the icon of the unread message flashed on the small screen of the mobile phone, it was a new message sent just 3 minutes ago, she clicked in and looked , the sender is 【Dad】:

[The dim sum shop has hot desserts that are about to be baked. Dad will arrive later, so don't run around! 】

At the end of the sentence is a sprinting emoji.

dim sum shop.It should be the one at Qiaotou, not far from the school, only about 200 meters away.

Nanako stuffed her phone back into her pocket, and squatted on the side of the road like a small mushroom, holding the small advertisement that Sanwa had just stuffed for her, and concentrated on watching it.

Similar to the previous editions of small advertisements, the layout is so ugly that there is no artist in the company, there are no decorative patterns except the company's logo, and the fonts are also the default fonts of the system. The only improvement is probably the signboard this time. There are a little less posts, so the overall look is a little looser, unlike before, where all the characters are crowded together.

Nanako looked down from the first line. This time, they seem to be recruiting logistics personnel, such as "dessert chef, who is required to be proficient in more than [-] kinds of European desserts", "clothing keeper, who is required to be good at maintaining small foreign skirts", "hair stylist , It is required to be proficient in the one-stop service of washing, cutting and blowing", probably in charge of logistics for the company's employees, the requirements are high, and the treatment is also very good, seven insurances, two golds and eighteen salaries, a week and two days off, three times the salary for overtime, statutory holidays Five times the salary for overtime work, and a huge death benefit will be provided to the family members if they die on the job.

【…? 】

There was a hint of confusion in Nanako's dark round eyes.

[Why do you still die on the job as a dessert chef?Did you choke to death while trying to eat it? 】

Her eyes lingered on the Chinese characters "death pension" for a long time, not sure if this phrase meant what she understood... Maybe it was just something like "work-related injury insurance compensation"?For example, the gas exploded while making desserts, the iron exploded while maintaining skirts, and the hair dryer exploded while washing, cutting, and drying... and so on.

Not very clear about the Japanese employee treatment system, Nanako, who knew little about it, quickly skipped this question and continued to squat on the side of the road, carefully looking at the small advertisement in her hand.

——Going out with one bodyguard, one is required to be proficient in driving, firearms, fighting, and master basic mechanical maintenance skills...

Nanako was still thinking about the issue of "guns are banned in Japan", when a silver minivan suddenly stopped on the road in front of her.

It is a very common car on the road. Its appearance is very simple, inconspicuous, half-new and not old, just like the "popular face" that will disappear immediately after being mixed into the crowd. This silver mini van, from the street Passing by, it will not leave any impression on passers-by.

The van stopped very close to Nanako, the dust raised by the wheels suddenly made her cough, and subconsciously raised her small face.She was squatting on the side of the road, on the street in front of the crosswalk. This mini van was parked directly on the crosswalk. The door of the back seat was facing Nanako, less than half a meter away, and it was almost on the sidewalk. While Nanako raised her head——

The door opened.

In the back seat was a man wearing a mask, which covered half of his face, but it could be seen that he was not young.

With one hand on the inside of the car door, his upper body leaned forward towards Nanako, but he didn't expose his head from the outside of the car, but stretched out his hand towards Nanako who was squatting on the roadside outside the car, and grabbed her shoulder roughly. , with great strength, in just a moment, she pulled Nanako into the car, covered her mouth forcefully, and then closed the car door with a "bang".

The person in the front driver's seat stepped on the accelerator and the van started.

An ugly little advertisement floated to the place where Nanako was squatting, but was blown away by the wind soon.

*******

Eiichiro is a curse master.

The so-called curse master is actually just a special name for "disobedient curse masters", nothing more.

Although the conjurers seem to say that they are "evil conjurers", Eiichiro feels that he is still an ordinary person who is willing to help others and will help each other across the road when he sees an old woman, even if he occasionally Doing some small bad things like using spells to secretly weigh lightly when shopping for vegetables, but it should not be enough for such a powerful word as "evil". At most, he can only be said to be not a qualified good person.

The reason why Eiichiro was judged to be a "Curse Master" is very simple, just because the uncle who brought him in is a "Curse Master", so he was naturally recognized as a "Curse Master" by those Curse Masters.

As for why his uncle became a Curser, the reason is actually very simple, just because it is too slow to get money as a Curser, so his uncle changed his career to become a Curser, earning money by accepting the rewards offered on the Cursor website , I have to say that after such a job-hopping, the numbers on the passbook are indeed rising rapidly.

Recently, the reward offered by their uncle and nephew was to kidnap a little girl and send her to the place designated by the boss, and if she was handed over alive to the respondent, the job would be over.The task is considered simple. In order to prevent the person accepting the reward from accidentally killing the task target, the reward offerer also thoughtfully added a statement, the little girl is just an ordinary person, so be careful when doing it, so that the reward target does not lack arms or arms Legs, but such a simple task, the reward is a full 50 US dollars.

Yes, that's right, dollars, not yen.

A full 50 US dollars!

Eiichiro immediately operated like a tiger. Two seconds after the bounty was refreshed, he immediately clicked "Accept", so the bounty was temporarily suspended. Only when they failed to complete the task would they be put into the bounty again. open area.

He held his mobile phone happily, and showed his "record" to his uncle, but after carefully reading the mission information, his uncle, who had been on the battlefield and experienced, showed a hesitant look on his honest and simple face. look.

"Big nephew." The uncle said honestly.

"Hey!" Eiichiro answered immediately.

"You... eh... how should I put it... Is there a reward for it... oh..." The uncle sighed, pointed, and finally said, "Which reward is this?"

Upon hearing this, Eiichiro turned over the phone and held it in front of him, staring at it.

His phone fell to the ground with a snap.

【Yokohama】——yo, ko, ha, ma.

The "death zone" is recognized by everyone on the curser reward forum. I heard that a few days ago on the website, there was a very awesome boss who went to Yokohama for a visit. When he came back, he only had a pair of underwear left. Hundreds of millions of magic tools were wiped out.

It’s not that there are many powerful supernatural beings in Yokohama. The point is, in Yokohama, if you kill someone casually on the road, you might wake up the next morning and see a wave of mafioso with guns. Kind good morning greetings:

"Hi, are you awake?"

"I heard that you, a foreign magician, killed one of our brothers yesterday. I'm sorry bro, are you going to keep the little finger of your left hand to apologize? Or the little finger of your right hand to apologize?"

While walking, a sign fell and killed ten passers-by, four from the Port Mafia, two from the Takase Club, and one from the GSS. Of the remaining three, maybe two were wanted criminals who smuggled into Yokohama.

Can this be fixed?Can this be fixed?Go out and kill someone for a reward, maybe open the website the next day and refresh it, and you will see your familiar face, and the name of "×× Mafia" is clearly hung in the reward offerer column at the bottom, which is more missed than your own mother It's your life.

Eiichiro wanted to cancel the task he received at that time, but as soon as he pressed "Back", a prompt window popped up:

【Canceling the task requires a liquidated damages of $100. Are you sure you want to cancel? 】

【whether】

Eiichiro, who was too addicted to pachinko and owed 100 million yen in loan sharks, silently clicked "No".

Uncle patted his shoulder heavily.

Resigned to their fate, the uncle and nephew began to prepare for the kidnapping. The first step was to confirm the identity of the kidnapping target.

Nanako Edogawa, household registration name Nanako Fukuzawa, 8 years old, 108cm tall, 17kg in weight, studying in the second grade month group of Holy Night College, the final exam of the last semester was the second in the grade, she doesn’t like carrots and green peppers, but likes them The food is cake...Guardians: Fukuzawa Yukichi (President of the Armed Detective Agency), Edogawa Ranpo (Member of the Armed Detective Agency).

"Is there a mafia called the Armed Detective Agency in Yokohama?" Eiichiro asked his uncle.

After searching carefully on "Curse Master Search", the uncle shook his head: "No."

"Is there an underground illegal organization with that name?" Eiichiro asked cautiously.

The uncle continued to shake his head: "No, it seems to be a legally registered consulting company, and the office building looks quite poor."

"Oh, that's good." Eiichiro felt relieved.

It's probably good news. Their reward doesn't need to kill people, just kidnap, and the pick-up location is in a warehouse on the outskirts of Yokohama, so they just need to come quietly and leave quietly after finishing their work, no need to think about it. Aftermath or how to leave Yokohama with the quest object.

He and his uncle made a precise plan, squatting at the gate of the school where the reward was offered for several days, and finally succeeded in squatting until no one picked up the reward.Holy Night Academy is a noble private school, so the location of the school is not in the downtown area, but in the suburbs with a quiet and elegant environment. There are not many people and vehicles passing by nearby. They easily snatched the object of the reward into the car, and then He ran away in the car, and changed three cars very vigilantly on the way.

The object of the reward was a quiet little girl who honestly handed in her schoolbag and mobile phone after being dragged into the car, and then was tied up by her uncle, blindfolded, and sat in the back seat, Like a dull little puppet, motionless and making no sound.

They arrived at the warehouse smoothly, and the person who responded hadn't arrived yet. Eiichiro sent a message to the person in the background of the reward website, and then packed up and started making cup noodles for dinner on the spot.

The blindfold and the hemp rope on her hands were all removed, and her feet were tied to a pillar. Nanako held the noodles given to her by the kidnappers and began to slowly suck her head down.

"I said kid." Eiichiro was still a little uneasy while eating cup noodles. He always felt that this matter went too smoothly, especially this reward object, who was quiet and not crying or making trouble, and had a little expression on his face. Not at all, the swarthy eyes don't know why, they don't look bright at all, they don't look like a person at all.

"Hmm." Nanako, who was immersed in eating seafood-flavored cup noodles, raised her small face from the cup and stared at Eiichiro without blinking her eyes.

Eiichiro felt guilty at the sight of him: "You, your family has nothing to do with the mafia, right?"

【Mafia】

(mafia)

This word is a bit familiar, as if everyone would say it occasionally in the detective agency, but Nanako didn't quite understand what it meant, she scratched her little head, and asked this kidnapper who didn't look very smart: "Mafia, What is it?"

She really didn't seem to know the meaning of 【マフィア】—even though the expression on that small face didn't seem to have changed at all, all in all, Eiichiro felt a little more at ease in his heart.

He took a deep breath in his heart, and while drinking the soup, he asked casually, "What's your father's name? Armed Detective Agency? What does it do?"

Nanako rolled up the noodles with a fork, and rolled them on the fork in a circle. When the string of noodles was completely wrapped around the fork, she bit the fork, sucked the noodles on it slowly, and replied vaguely: "Others , find a detective agency to help with something, and then everyone goes to help, and then he gives us money."

"Oh, so it's about the same as us, uncle." Eiichiro slapped his thigh, turned his head and said to his uncle.

The thick-faced uncle nodded.

"It's just that we are doing dirty work, and they are taking on the work of ordinary citizens." Eiichiro said, gulped down the soup in the cup, folded the instant noodle cup, twisted it a few times, and connected the disposable The plastic fork was thrown into the trash can beside it.

Nanako sucked up all the noodles on the fork in small mouthfuls, and while rolling new noodles, said in her unwavering tone, very slowly: "Citizens, and others."

"Huh? Who else?" Eiichiro asked while unpacking the sausage.

[And the police. 】

Nanako replied in her heart, without saying a word, she just raised her arm while eating cup noodles, and blocked the school badge of Holy Night College pinned to her chest again.

【…Are all Japanese kidnappers this stupid? 】
