After becoming a chaotic daughter

On the day of the concert, it was drizzling in Yokohama.

The sky was a bit gloomy, but there was still a long queue at the entrance of the stage center of the World Theater.Men, women and children meandered around the square several times, wearing umbrellas and raincoats, and some even just spread out newspapers to cover their heads.

Even though Yokohama has been in turmoil for more than two months, hospitals, restaurants, shopping malls and other places that maintain people’s daily life are still operating as usual, most private companies are commuting to and from work on time, and security checks have been strengthened at stations, but operations have not completely stopped , although the number of people going out is much less than usual, but on the street, people can still be seen hurrying back and forth with their heads bowed.

It's just that in such a tense atmosphere, entertainment activities in Yokohama have been greatly reduced, amusement parks have been closed, movie theaters and karaoke evening shows have been cancelled, and few performing arts companies dare to spend money and time on holding activities at such a time. If the party fights, it means losing everything.

But the EASTER club is different. This entertainment company belongs to the EASTER super conglomerate, which is one of the best in Japan and even in the world. Only the top chaebols such as the Suzuki consortium, the Akashi family, and the Atobe group can be compared with it.

Not only did they dare to hold a concert in Yokohama, they even dared to send their ace idol singers, rented the largest performance stage in Yokohama, hired the top security team, spent a lot of money preparing for the performance, and only charged so little that it was almost nothing. , Even elementary school students can save the entrance fee from their pocket money.

It's almost a form of "benefit performance".

The total population of Yokohama is more than 300 million. Among the 300 million population, 1 people can come to watch a performance at this time. With the triple combination of domestic top idols, rare large-scale entertainment activities, and the guarantee of a super consortium Driven by motivation, it is not impossible to do it, especially when the whole city is closed, many middle school students who are in adolescence invite their classmates to watch the concert together.

Nanako followed the president and the others directly into the theater from the staff entrance, but in the queue, she also saw one or two familiar classmates.

Manager Sanjo Yujiali arranged for them to be in the front row of the auditorium, a position very close to the stage, but actually not suitable for watching the performance, both in terms of viewing angle and sound effects.But at the same time, this is also a position where you can rush to the stage to save people in a blink of an eye in case of danger. With the president's skills, it is more convenient to rush to the stage from here than backstage.

There were people all around, and it was as noisy as if you were in a large market. Many security guards in uniform stood in the aisle between the auditoriums, always vigilantly watching the surrounding situation.

Nanako has never pursued stars in her two lifetimes combined. The performance she is most familiar with is probably the children's day cultural performance. She has never participated in a concert, and she doesn't know if all concerts are like this. Hundreds of elephants are wrestling near her.

"Nanako, take out the Coke and give it to Dad!" Said Ranpo, who was sitting on Nanako's left.

Pulled out her small backpack from behind, Nanako opened the zipper, rummaged through the small backpack, and found a can of Coke, and after giving it to Ranpo, she found a can of children's juice for herself.She silently brought the juice in front of Luanbu, waited for Luanbu to help her open the tab with a click, then inserted the straw into the small mouth, and began to sip the juice.

The seat in the theater is the kind of flip-up cushion. She doesn't dare to move her butt inward. On the small block, the small leather shoes dangled and touched the ground with their toes.

- Deng!

The lights in the theater were suddenly extinguished, darkness enveloped the stage and auditorium, the noisy voices gradually fell silent, and soon, the entire theater was silent.

In the silence of the darkness, a beam of light fell obliquely from above the stage and shone on the center of the stage. The steps rose slowly, and a girl in a gothic black skirt appeared on the only stage with a microphone in her hand. under a light source.

The girl's low singing sounded, without lyrics, just a humming melody, which echoed in the huge theater through the speakers.

Numerous lights flashed on, fell on the girl, and illuminated the entire stage in an instant. The fast-paced prelude sounded, and there was gradually a slight commotion in the auditorium. Nanako sucked the juice and stared at the blond girl on the stage. The light was too dazzling, so she couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, only the black skirt and the slightly shaking golden ponytail could be seen.

"Open your shiny eyes in the silent night——"

"Unbelievable night, dance いきりた..."

The deep and touching singing sounded, and the moment the girl on the stage opened her mouth, a large piece of golden light suddenly lit up in the unlit auditorium. The stars were dotted like a vast sea of ​​stars connected by stars.

The light behind her almost illuminated the front row. Nanako turned her head and glanced at her right. Sitting on her right was Gogol, who was looking around curiously at the moment. Gogol was three rounds away. I'm currently...

Vigorously waving the golden light stick in his hand.

【Oh, it's a call stick. 】

Although she doesn't follow stars, Nanako, who is very nerdy, has heard a little about the Japanese calling culture.

She bit her straw and continued to drink her juice. The sound effect in the front row was not very good. Even so, it couldn't cover up the heavenly singing of Hoshina Gebe, but Nanako still felt that the noise made her ears hurt a little.Covering her ears with one hand, she shrunk her head and looked around.

As the song gradually entered the first small climax, the movement in the auditorium became louder, and the crowd rang out with irregular singing along, mixed with screams and shouts of "Sing!"

In this warm atmosphere, Nanako, who was not affected at all, turned her head and looked around indiscriminately. Suddenly, she saw a somewhat familiar figure in the corner of the aisle next to the auditorium.

Long white hair, white clothes, the [white person] whose face was blurred by the confused light spots in the dim light.

[The person I saw on the outing before. 】

Nanako remembered, although she couldn't remember the person's face, but it looked like the same person.

The white person also gave her a plastic ruby, which she seemed to have thrown into the corner of the storage box, but she couldn't remember clearly.

"... Lucky せな梦を见ているの? 』

The singing on the stage was still going on, Nanako turned her head to look at that person, she didn't know what was going on, as if it was just a glare, the person turned around, and then disappeared into the dark corridor.

"Suck, suck..." Nanako finished the juice while biting the straw.

She put the empty can into the trash bag and sat on the seat for a while, completely unable to hear what the song was singing, so she didn't have the heart to continue listening to her singing.

She felt a little swelling under her belly.

"...Dad." Nanako tugged at Ranpo's sleeve.

Luanbu, who was half-heartedly playing mobile games while listening to the song, said "Huh?", his voice was completely drowned out by the singing.

Nanako got up, knelt on the chair, approached Ranbu's ear, raised the volume a little, and yelled into his ear with a clear pause between syllables: "Dad, dad! Toilet, toilet!"

"I know, I know -!" Ranbu also answered her in the same paused tone.

He paused the game, stuffed the phone back into his pocket, got up and fished Nanako out of the chair, and led her outside.

The restroom for the audience is not far from the auditorium. When Nanako is sitting on the toilet, she can still hear the faint singing voice.She quickly finished using the toilet and came out. After washing her hands on the high sink with great difficulty, she came out slowly.

There were two security guards, a man and a woman, standing at the door of the toilet. Luanbu squatted between them, still playing the mobile game he had just suspended.

Seeing Nanako coming out, he put away his phone and led her back.In the theater, the opening song was over, and the prelude to the second song started.

They turned the corner of the corridor and walked back to the entrance of the auditorium less than ten meters further.

Nanako stopped suddenly, and Ranbu followed her. The father and daughter, one big and one small, lowered their heads, looking at this thing that had fallen all over the corridor.

"... Egg." Nanako looked at the black Eggy lying on the ground two or three steps away, raised her head and said to Ranbu.

Seeing seven or eight black balls falling in a line along the corridor in front of him, Luanbu narrowed his long and narrow eyes, was silent for a second, and then said firmly, "No, it's not balls."

Nanako stared at him for a while without saying a word, then suddenly stepped forward with her short legs, then squatted down, picked up the egg closest to her, held it in her hand and observed it carefully After a moment, he raised it up for Luanbu to see: "It's Eggy."

She couldn't hold the egg firmly with her little hand. As soon as she finished speaking, the egg fell to the ground with a "boom" and rolled out.Nanako still maintained the posture of raising the but, but she was a little slow in reacting before she withdrew her hand.

Then she found a piece of black "paint" on the palm of her hand for some reason.

Nanako: "..."

She turned to look at the egg that had rolled out.

The egg, which was originally pure black with a white cross drawn on it, turned into mottled black and white after it fell from her hands.

Nanako was silent for a moment, then raised her dirty hands to show Ranbu: "...a ball that fades."

Ranbu: "..."

"Discolored balls."

"..."

"Discolored balls."

"fade……"

"..."

Playing with his daughter is also a duty of a good father—so Ranpo and Nanako picked up all the "fade balls" in the place, counted them, and there were eight in total.

After going to the bathroom to "clean" the eight eggs, Nanako and Ranpo carried them back to the seat, and Nanako carefully stuffed the eight eggs into her small backpack.The small backpack bulged and became heavy.

The concert ended smoothly. There was no mafia attack, and no messy accidents. It took two and a half hours. The atmosphere at the end was as enthusiastic as it was at the beginning, but Nanako felt her butt was stiff. My ears hurt a little too.

The audience left the stage one after another, and the security work needed to be maintained until Xingming Gebei left the theater by car. The president went to the backstage, and Luanbu took the three children to squat in the corner, watching the crowd disperse from the theater like a tide.Everyone was excitedly discussing Gebei's performance, and only spent a little money to listen to a popular domestic idol's concert. It was a huge profit, and there was no danger of worrying about it.

"But I feel like I'm not ready for the song..." Sanlun said, "I missed a line in the second and third songs. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I was too nervous."

Nanako, who didn't even understand a line of the lyrics, couldn't understand the pity of Miwa. She was digging through her small backpack, and then took out the eight eggs she picked up one by one from the bag. Arranged in a row on the ground.

"This is..." A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Nanako. She poked the egg on the ground, turned her head, raised her head, and saw Weishi standing behind her with a hesitant expression on his face. , standing beside Miya, Yameng and Kukai.

"Nanako-san, is this the egg you picked up?" He adjusted his tone and asked with a smile on his face.

Nanako: "..."

Her intuition told her that the balls she picked up today might be gone again.

"Huh—?" squatting on the side with his head propped up, Luanbu looked at Weishi beside him with interest, and after a question word, he said very simply, "That's right, we are in the corridor outside Picked up—hey, these eggs were so dirty when I picked them up! It took us half a day to clean them."

【Wash, wash...】

Bian Li Wei Shi barely maintained a smile on his face, and his heart broke out in cold sweat.

【I don’t even need vinegar anymore? ! 】

"Speaking of which, this classmate." Ranpo tilted his head in boredom, and asked in a normal tone, "Do you know who these eggs belong to? If no one wants them, I'll take them back to Nanako It's tomorrow's breakfast, lunch and dinner."

"No, that...these bastards..." It's not just in my heart anymore, although Luan Bu said very ordinary words, cold sweat faintly broke out on Wei Shi's forehead.

His line of sight shifted slightly, and he met Nanako's unwavering dark eyes. For some reason, he always felt that he could vaguely see two Looming fine print: want to eat.

"Hey, it's mine!" Wrapping one hand around Weishi's neck, Kukai smiled and showed his big white teeth, and said with a bright face, "I don't know what happened, they fell on the road, these eggs turned out to be painted The black egg with the white cross! I painted it, it looks like the paint hasn’t dried hahaha—”

"That's right, that's right! It's Kukai's egg!" Miya happily echoed, "That's right, Ameng!"

"Yes, yes! Hahahaha..." Ya Meng tried his best to put on a smile, pretending that nothing happened and followed them with nonsense.

Ranbu narrowed his eyes, looked at them for a while, then took out a pair of old black-rimmed glasses from his pocket, put them on, and looked at them again, but this time, he only stared at a few children about In a second, he opened his mouth and said:

"—Is that paint [Uta]?"

(uta: song)

"……Eh?"

The twelve and thirteen-year-old children were all taken aback, but Ranbu had already fully understood what was going on, and even if they didn't answer, he knew what the answer was.

He stood up and reached out to pick up Nanako who was still squatting on the ground trying to get her balls. After she stood still, he let go of her back collar and took her little hand: "Since it has an owner , then I trouble you to return the property to its original owner.”

The black eggs marked with white crosses are obviously in the "unnatural" shape of the eggs, and what caused these eggs to become in this "unnatural" shape must be the singing of Xingming Gebai, which is why EASTER spent a lot of money. The price is what I want to get out of the concert in Yokohama.

But this has nothing to do with the detective agency, they are just a small firm that provides bodyguard services.

"Let's go, Dad will take you to eat Oyakodon!"

Luanbu walked with easy steps, led Nanako, who was still staring at her balls, and left, and the smiling Gogol and the confused Miwa also got up and followed.

Bian Li Weishi breathed a sigh of relief: "Put away these eggs first, and they should go back to find various owners by themselves later."

one two three four five six seven.

There are seven eggs in total.

"No, there were obviously eight eggs here just now." Kukai, who is good at sports and has good eyesight, noticed something was wrong.

He was about to say something more when a hand suddenly appeared in the air.

There was only one hand, floating in mid-air like this, holding an egg in it, stopped among them, and waved it up and down, as if greeting them.

Weishi: "..."

Kukai: "..."

Yameng: "..."

Miya: "..."

The hand handed the egg to Yameng, and the pink-haired girl caught it tremblingly. The next moment, the hand disappeared in the blink of an eye just as it had appeared.

It was as if a gust of wind had blown by.

on the corridor.

Without looking back, Luanbu suddenly said, "Gogol, I'm just kidding, I'll give you a chicken leg for the Oyakodon later."

"Huh?!" Gogol, who had just secretly returned the egg with his supernatural power, turned pale with shock.

Three rounds outside the whole process: ... So what's going on?

[Ministry of the Interior - Yokohama Special Agency, Curse Division - Emergency Contact]

On *month*day, 201*year, the 84th day of the Dragon Head War broke out.

At the stage center of the Yokohama World Theater, fluctuations in the spell power of super-level spells were observed. 2 investigators (level 1) were missing, and [-] ordinary citizen was missing. We asked for the support of magicians above level [-].

The author has something to say:

The song "Maze Butterfly" sung for the song by quoting the lyrics

-

The negative emotions of the soul produce mantra, and the mantra produced by ordinary people will leak out, and a large amount of mantra will condense to form a mantra.

Because of Nanako's presence, Gebei failed to produce black eggs, and the few ones were washed clean. Objectively speaking, the concert was really inspiring and calmed the emotions of ordinary people.

But because before the emotions were appeased, a large number of ordinary people with negative emotions had already gathered in the theater, and the released mantra was condensed, so a mantra was formed a few days later.

If there is no concert, the magic power of 1 people will be condensed one after another, and if the concert is held, the magic power of 1 people will be directly gathered together.And because the concert was "successfully" held, these 1 people (and some people in Yokohama) were encouraged, and they would no longer continue to generate a lot of negative emotions, reducing the appearance of subsequent spells.

-

The Conjuration Division is privately set up, corresponding to the Special Ability Division, and is mainly responsible for conjuration-related events in Yokohama (because it is inconvenient for ordinary conjurers to come to the Yokohama Concession & Mafia territory). There is no special grade for a magician, and they belong to "civil servants".
