After becoming a chaotic daughter

"—I'm here to make a commission."

The capable young woman spoke in a slightly haughty tone to the people sitting on the sofa opposite her.

This is a woman about 24 to [-] years old, wearing an exquisite light yellow professional suit, with a straight back, a slender and tall figure, and long reddish brown hair that is over the shoulders and curled at the end.

She raised her chin slightly, and with her pair of sharp and upturned eyes, she glanced at the silver-haired man in kimono and several young club members in front of her. The eyes behind the oval lenses were sharp and shrewd. Workplace strong woman dress up.

Before Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was sitting directly opposite her, could speak, she continued on her own: "To be honest, I don't want to come to this small club to hire bodyguards, but Ms. Jiang Chuan, who is in charge of lighting in the theater I strongly recommend you guys. I thought about it. At this time, it is also necessary to provide more security for our artists. I happened to pass by here today, so I came to your company to have a look-this is mine business card."

She mixed the two humble words "come" and "your company" that should have been said separately from both parties, and said it from her own mouth, which sounded quite impolite, but she was extremely Naturally, she said it with such a high-ranking attitude, as if she came to the detective agency to see the face, rather than asking the detective agency for help.

The lady clerk who served tea put the teacup on the table. Hearing what she said, she couldn't help curling her lips secretly when she picked up the tray and turned to leave.

A simple and delicate hard business card with gold pattern on a white background was placed on the table and pushed to Fukuzawa Yukichi's side.The silver-haired man was not at all shaken by her unceremonious tone. He took the business card and looked at it with an unchanged expression. The job and name of the young woman were printed on the business card:

【EASTER Entertainment Club】

【Performing Arts Agent-Yukari Sanjo】

In addition, there are two lines of small print for contact information.

Fukuzawa Yukichi put down his business card, and introduced himself in a calm tone: "The president of the Armed Detective Agency, Fukuzawa Yukichi."

"Yeah." Sanjo Yukari responded casually, and then straight-forwardly stated her purpose of coming to the detective agency, "It's like this, half a month later, the artist I brought—that is, our company's ace idol singer Hoshina Gebai will hold a large-scale concert at the largest theater in Yokohama 【World Theater】, but you know the security situation in Yokohama now. Although a large number of security personnel will be arranged at the scene, I still want to hire a special staff for the artists. A top bodyguard to ensure her personal safety during the concert."

"Concert?" Standing behind the president, Kunikida showed disapproval, and frowned tightly, "With all due respect, Ms. Sanjo, recently the disputes between the mafia have become more intense. At this time , Holding such a large-scale gathering is tantamount to setting yourself on fire, once an accident occurs—"

"It's because accidents are prone to happen, that's why I came to ask you to be bodyguards, otherwise, what do you want to do?" Sanjo Yukari showed a slightly displeased expression on his face, obviously dissatisfied with Kunikida's interruption, "This But it is a very important concert. The mafia struggle has broken out for more than two months, and now Yokohama is in panic, so it is more appropriate to hold a concert. To put it nicely, my artist—Xingming Gebai has a national reputation Few people can match the natural singing voice, this is to use her singing to inspire people, understand?"

Kunikida choked on her words, although he still disagreed in his heart, he didn't say any more: "I was rude."

Sanjo Yukari also ignored him, looked at Fukuzawa Yukichi, raised her eyebrows and said, "Only one bodyguard is enough, and I will accept the necessary requirements such as 'high martial arts skills' and 'obedience to arrangements'." Not much to say, besides that, there is another point, that is, the bodyguard must be an adult. It seems that most of the members of your company are underage, this is not acceptable, the bodyguard must be an adult."

—adults.

In other agencies, this is probably a fairly common request, but in the detective agency, this request is quite tricky.Today, there are only four investigators in the detective agency.

Kunikida is 16 years old, Hanadou is 17 years old, and Yosano is 19 years old. The legal age of majority in Japan is 20 years old. The three of them are actually minors, and the only investigator who has grown up...

Standing behind the president like Kunikida, Yosano's line of sight shifted a little to the side imperceptibly.

In the reception room, more than one meter away from the scene where the entrusted matters were discussed, a small round table was propped up at the moment.A map of flying chess was spread out on the table. A teenager and three children were sitting around the table, throwing dice to play flying chess. They were not at all affected by the serious atmosphere of their discussions.

The boxy hexahedron dice were thrown up, and landed on the flying chess map with a bang, and spun around several times before finally stopping.

The side facing up is 3 o'clock.

A red chess piece was picked up by Nanako, and then "da, da, da" took three steps and stopped at the area representing the end point.

"Next it's my turn!" The boy said enthusiastically, grabbed the dice on the map, and threw it high.

With Xie Ye: "..."

She silently withdrew her gaze again, as if she didn't feel the movement over there at all. Not only her, but even the client, Ms. Santiao, turned a blind eye to what happened in the other half of the reception room. With the sofa as the dividing line, the room is strangely divided into two areas with completely different atmospheres.

All in all, the only adult investigator in the agency is the helpless Edogawa Ranpo, and letting Ranpo go alone to serve as the client's bodyguard, obviously, no matter whether it is the client or the detective agency itself, it is absolutely will not agree to this plan.

Therefore, if you want to accept this commission, there is actually only one choice.

"I already understand the content of the commission." Fukuzawa Yukichi's expression did not change at all, but he did not accept the commission immediately, but said to Ms. Sanjo: "But because of the mafia struggle, the latest commission in the agency It is heavy, and there are important tasks related to the government that need assistance, we need to allocate time to determine whether we can accept this commission, and we will call you to reply within two days."

"Ah, really." Sanjo Yukari responded casually without caring much, "In that case, I'll go back first, and hope that your company will give you a definite answer as soon as possible, and our schedule here is also very tight. ...so farewell."

She picked up her handbag, stood up, and walked towards the reception room under the guidance of Xie Ye. The stiletto heels of her high-heeled shoes hit the floor, making a crisp sound.

When she reached the door of the reception room, she turned her head slightly, glanced at the teenager and three children sitting around the reception room playing flying chess with a condescending gaze, and said casually:

"If you accept the entrustment, it's okay to bring those children along with you during the concert, just tell me the exact number of people, and I will arrange seats for you at the front row... Don't worry about the payment, Our club—[EASTER] is one of the largest conglomerates in the world, and what we need most is money.”

After leaving this sentence, she held her head high, like a proud swan, and stepped on her high heels gracefully and left.

Yu Xie Ye quickly sent her downstairs by elevator, and then came back.

"Let's talk about your opinions." Fukuzawa Yukichi sat on the sofa without moving, and asked everyone in the reception room, "Do you want to accept this commission?"

"I still have the same opinion. It's too dangerous to hold a large-scale concert at this time." Kunikida pushed his glasses and said, his disapproval was palpable.

Yu Xieye, who had just returned from sending the client off, pondered for a moment, nodded his lips with his slender fingertips, and said after a few seconds: "If it's what she said, I can understand their thoughts a little bit. The more In bad times, things like inspiration are all the more important, otherwise, the heart will die before the body dies."

Having said that, she paused, and then said: "But the risk factor of a large-scale concert is indeed too high. It will be safer if it is changed to a street tour."

What she said is very reasonable, and Fukuzawa Yukichi thinks so too, but he also knows that for a big company like [EASTER (Resurrection Society)], which is ranked all over the world, its employees act Most of the styles are arbitrary, and once a decision is made, it is almost impossible to change it, "persuading the other party to cancel the concert and change to a street tour" - there is no doubt that this is absolutely impossible.

Fukuzawa Yukichi turned his attention to the young man who was still playing flying chess: "Ranpo, what do you think?"

"...Two, three, four—arrive!" The green chess piece in his hand entered the area of ​​the end point, cheered wildly, then turned his head, and said in a carefree tone, with a nonchalant and natural look: " Of course we are going!"

"Since the client came to place the commission and promised to give the detective agency a generous reward, and it's not a job that violates the principles of the detective agency, why didn't he accept it?" He asked rhetorically, grabbed the dice on the table, and threw it to the detective agency. After touching the three rounds on the left, his long and narrow eyes narrowed with a smile, he shook his head, and said meaningfully: "What's more, I'm also very curious——what the [EASTER] people want to do."

If it is really just for the pure and kind-sounding reason of "inspiring people", then of course it doesn't matter, but the problem is that according to [EASTER (Resurrection Society)]'s behavior in recent years, this is obviously not a A consortium of good intentions will be spread indiscriminately.

That being the case, in this special period, they still have to hold such a seemingly thankless large-scale concert in Yokohama and send their precious ace idol singer. They obviously have some other purpose.

"Nanako, do you want to go to Xingming Gebei's concert with Dad?" Ranbu asked casually.

Gogol also finished walking the grid. Just as she caught the dice in her hand, Nanazi threw the dice from a very low height. Almost as soon as she threw it, the dice fell back on the map and rolled a few times slowly. , lay down and did not move.

The face up is 1 point.

Grabbing the last red chess piece and taking a step, Nanako lowered her head and thought about it for a while, but she still didn't understand a problem.

"...Song of the stars, who is it?"

she asked.

"It's a super popular girl idol singer who became popular last year! Although she is only 14 years old, she is super popular." Miwa, who is familiar with the hottest idol stars at the moment, said with her popular science, "The first album released is It's in the top ten sales charts, and there are many people in our class who like her."

Nanako, who doesn't follow stars, doesn't quite understand what this concept is, she just thinks it sounds very powerful.If the same amount is substituted, it should be equivalent to being a top ten top student in the national exam?

After a few more brief discussions, Fukuzawa Yukichi, the president, made a decision to accept the commission.

At that time, he will go to the venue together with Ranpo to serve as the bodyguard of Xingming Gebei—or, to be more precise, he will serve as the bodyguard of all the audience in the venue. After all, if the concert site is really attacked, it will be dangerous. There will be tens of thousands of people.

Although it is said that what is happening in Yokohama is a struggle between the mafia, but in fact, the flames of war have spread to the point where even ordinary citizens’ residential areas have been attacked frequently, and the actions of these illegal organizations have already It cannot be judged by common sense, and even Fukuzawa Yukichi has been unable to confirm whether the driving force driving this group of people to fight is the "5000 billion yen black money" that lost its owner, or something else.

For example, the ugly desires released by the human heart in chaos.

But in this chaotic situation, some people still maintain a naive way of doing things.

"Okay! I'll take you to the concert then!" Luanbu said loudly with a smile on his face, standing in front of several children with his hands on his hips, like a king of kids, but unfortunately he didn't have time to buy one yet. A new cloak, otherwise, wearing a small cloak would probably look more majestic than the current one.

"Yeah!" The star-chaser kid San Lunxia was the first to raise her hand in agreement.

"Yeah!" Gogol yelled with a smile as usual.

The little head turned to the left, then to the right, and looked at the three people at the table who seemed to be very energetic. said in a tone of voice:

"……yeah."

Gives a very forced feeling.

The author has something to say:

Sanjo Yukari is Gebei's manager

The current timeline is after the box is crossed, it has just arrived in the hands of Gebei, and it has not yet hatched.

The purpose of holding a concert is to collect black eggs

-

Gebei's real name is Yueyonggebei, and his stage name is "Star Name Gebei"/"Star Nagebei" (ほしな歌呵), because the surname is a katakana rather than Chinese characters, so the translation will be different, text Take the translation of "Star Name Song Bai"

-

Additional settings:

①The Resurrection Society is a world-class consortium, and it has spent money to hire a large number of top-level security guards in advance. The reason for coming to the Detective Agency is to hire another personal bodyguard for Gebei.

②The people of the leading war are restless, and it is easier to create black eggs, so they spend money to clear the government to get the concert approval (Yokohama is an extrajudicial city concession, and the government control is not so strict)

③Ordinary people would go out during the Dragon Head War. Sakule was involved in mafia conflicts when he went out with his parents. When his parents died, Sakule was picked up by Odasaku who was passing by.
