After becoming a chaotic daughter

Standing in the office area of ​​the detective agency, Oda Sakunosuke held the little girl in his arms a little stiffly, and looked at the people in front of him, with a bewildered and bewildered expression on his unshaven face , but because the proportion of these emotions mixed in is too low, it looks like a kind of "expressionless" when emptying the brain.

But Oda Sakunosuke was really at a loss, because he was not very good at holding children. He hugged this little girl named "Sakule", as if he was holding some valuables that were very easy to be destroyed. Very restrained, it took him a long time to finally coax the crying Sakule.

"So?" Holding a large portion of French fries confiscated from Nanako in his hand, he walked around with a French fries in his mouth, and asked carelessly, "What kind of help do you want to come to the detective agency today? Seeing as your rescue For Nanako's sake, let me, a famous detective, help you solve the problem this time!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately added: "—but it is impossible for the detective agency to adopt the child you are holding."

It is true that I had such an idea, but I was rejected before I said it. Oda felt a little regretful about this. If this child can be adopted by a detective agency, it should be the best result, but being rejected is also considered a He expected something, so he said:

"I want to find a family with better conditions to adopt this child, but I don't know where to find such a family."

Eating french fries one by one, hearing his answer, he asked in disorder: "In other words, you want the detective agency to help you find such a family to adopt her?"

Oda nodded: "That's right."

"Why don't you raise it yourself?" Luanbu suggested, holding a root of French fries as a matter of course, "Since you found her and don't want to send her to an orphanage, why don't you raise her yourself?"

"Because I can't raise her." Oda honestly stated his reasons, "Sakule is too young, I don't know how to take care of children, and I can't take care of so many children. It takes a lot to raise children I don’t have much time or money for my job, so I think it’s better for her to be adopted by a conditional family.”

He gave a reasonable answer, but Kunikida, who came back with Ranpo, noticed something else.

The boy frowned, and repeated the words he mentioned in a questioning tone: "So many children?"

"Yes." Oda Saku replied calmly, "To be honest, this is the fifth child I picked up, and the other children are all older than her, about five or six years old. I temporarily entrusted an acquaintance who runs a curry shop to take care of it."

"I see..." Kunikida replied subconsciously, but realized something was wrong.

Before he had time to speak, he heard Luan Bu next to him interject with interest: "Is that why the other children didn't follow?"

Oda Sakunosuke nodded.

"In that case..." Ranpo's gaze shifted to Kunikida's side, then moved down slowly, and finally stopped on a little boy.

He pointed at the little boy with the chips in his hand: "Where did this kid come from?"

It was a little boy who looked about six or seven years old, with black spiky hair, wearing cheap children's clothes, with his mouth tightly shut, held by Kunikida without saying a word, his blue-green eyes were full of vigilance. Stare at them.

After Luanpo got off the elevator, he ran straight back to the detective agency. The little boy was standing at the door of the detective agency, and when Kunikida followed him to the door, he saw Oda Sakunosuke standing in the office area. With the back view, it is a matter of course to bring this little boy into the club together.

"...Didn't you bring it back?" Oda was a little dazed, and didn't understand why Ranpo asked. In his eyes, this little boy followed them—or more precisely, he followed Ranpo Kunikida, who entered the detective agency step by step, came back together.

Isn't it the kid in the detective agency?Just like those three kids sitting over there eating fried chicken right now.

"No, I just saw him standing at the door... Isn't this kid coming with you?" Kunikida also asked him blankly.

The boy and the young man looked at each other blankly for a few seconds, then shook their heads at each other in unison.

"I don't know this boy." Oda said so, looked down at the boy again, and was not moved by the boy's vigilant eyes like a wolf cub.

For some reason, Oda Sakunosuke felt that the boy looked a little familiar. He seemed to have seen someone who looked similar to this boy before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Kunikida felt that things were getting a little crazy, he let go of the boy's hand, squatted down, looked at him and asked, "What's your name, kid?"

"..." The little boy was silent for a while, then spit out a syllable usually used in girls' names, "Hui."

"Okay, Kei." Kunikida tried to sound gentle, "Why are you at the door of the detective agency?"

The boy's eyes lingered on his face for two seconds, then swept over Oda who was walking in disorder and holding Sakule, and finally stopped on the three children sitting on a small bench eating fried chicken.

Holding a big chicken drumstick in her hand, Nanako, who ate so much that her mouth was full of oil, sat on her small bench, turned around at some point, and changed from facing the TV to watching a few people talking. The grown-ups stared at them with dark eyes, gnawing on the fried chicken legs in their hands from time to time, just like the people eating melons are gnawing on the melons in their hands.

[...It seems a little familiar. 】

Staring at the boy's face, Nanako took another bite of the chicken leg in her hand.

"...Didn't your people tie me here halfway?" The boy relaxed his tense body a little, and replied, "A man with black hair left me at the door just now, Jumped out of the hallway window, and you came after that."

【Black-haired man】

A description that is almost the same as nothing, but everyone is staring at him, and the atmosphere in the office area has undergone some subtle changes. Except for Kunikida, everyone thinks his face is very familiar, not The kind of familiarity that is "familiar because we often meet each other", but the familiarity that is "familiar because I was impressed when I saw it".

The detective agency fell into silence for more than ten seconds.

【what. 】

Nanako, who was eating the chicken leg, remembered.

Not only her, but everyone else also thought of it.

"It's him!"

"I see."

"It's that guy."

"whispering sound."

"?" Kunikida didn't understand who they remembered, especially when he found that Miwa and Gogol seemed to have clear eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and asked: " what are you guys saying?"

The five people present gave his answer:

"...the fisherman, the black one."

"It was the uncle who saved me at the accounting firm!"

"It's the one with the strange bugs!"

"It's the man called 'Heaven and Tyrant' in the Mafia."

"That nasty guy who scares Nanako!"

Kunikida: "..."

Are you sure you're talking about the same person?

"That's the guy." Luanbu bit the French fries and gave his standard answer, "That man named 'Fuheshier' looks exactly like this brat."

"How annoying—! Do you guys think of a detective agency as a nursery?"

Ranpo complained loudly with dissatisfaction.

Oda Sakunosuke: "...Sorry."

Although he didn't know why, his intuition told him that he should probably apologize at this time.

"Didn't you tie me here?" The silent little boy suddenly asked.

"No! Your father threw you here." Luanbu replied, "The man who tied you here is your biological father."

The little boy said "Oh" and didn't respond. He just said, "Then can you call the police for me? If you don't go back, Jin Meiji will be worried again."

"Who is Tsumiki?" Kunikida asked.

Hui was silent for a moment, then replied, "Sister."

"You can use the phone on the desk first, and report to your family that you are safe." Kunikida said to him, "There is no manpower left now, and we will send you back later."

The boy acquiesced to what he said, without saying anything, walked to the nearest desk, climbed onto the office chair, reached for the office landline on the desk, and made a call.

Kunikida and Ranpo led Oda into the reception room.

Nanako, who was not keen on going to the front line to eat melons, moved her buttocks, changed her direction, continued to eat chicken legs and watched the noon news of Yokohama Channel.

A whole fried chicken set meal is a bit much, Nanako didn’t finish it, there was almost half left, the little boy named "Mei" seemed to have not eaten lunch yet, Nanako gave him the rest and ran away Wash your hands in the bathroom outside.

Although it is convenient to eat fried chicken without gloves, it is very troublesome to wash your hands with greasy hands. It took Nanako a long time to wash her hands with hot water and hand sanitizer.She turned off the faucet, walked out of the bathroom, and wanted to run back to the detective agency, but suddenly heard the sound of the elevator "ding" coming from the other side of the corridor, stopping on this floor.

Nanako stopped in her tracks.

Turning her head around, she stood in the middle of the corridor, with her back to the window at the end of the corridor behind her. Dim light fell in, drawing her vague shadows on the floor and the walls on both sides. A pair of dark and lusterless eyes were straight staring in the direction of the elevator.

The elevator door opened slowly.One foot in clogs stepped out of the elevator.

The old man in a dark bathrobe walked into the long corridor. His short white hair was combed into a big back, his long eyebrows raised upwards like a beard, and his pupils were more white than black, giving him a harsh, shrewd and difficult to get along with Impression, a strong figure, with a wine gourd tied around his waist.

"That guy, did he hide his son here?"

The Zenyuan Zhipiren raised his head, looked at the old ceiling, and murmured as if talking to himself.

"Thanks to the fact that I just took over the task of that special curse spirit, otherwise, it would be really troublesome not to alert other people to come over."

"Kid—" He turned his head and looked at Nanako who was standing at the other end of the corridor, "Is there a boy named Chanyuanhui here?"

The moment his pupils saw Nanako, they shrank suddenly.

In the next second, he immediately reacted.

【...Oh, it's not a curse spirit. 】

Chan Yuan Hui.

Nanako thought about it, the little boy in the club now seems to be called "Mei", but his father said his father's name was "Fu Heisher", so the little boy's full name should be "Fu Hei Hui".

So she shook her head, then slowly ran back to the detective agency, and gently closed the door of the detective agency.

Closed in the corridor, the direct neighbor of the Zen garden: "..."

The author has something to say:

Zhipiren of the Zenyuan is the current head of the Zenyuan family, and Shier had bargained with him to sell his son before.

The naming in Japan is different from that in China, or it is very simple, such as "Sakura", "X Taro", "Lucky", "Shinji" and other relatively fixed names like Tom and Annie; otherwise It is very complicated. For example, when writing "starry sky" (normally pronounced as hoshizora) and pronouncing it as "nasa", you can make this Chinese character pronounce any sound you want, so in many cases, the name will be marked with a special pronunciation to avoid Mispronunciation; Of course, there are also names that can be pronounced according to the normal pronunciation, or names composed of pure pseudonyms, such as りか (rika), which translates to Lixiang.

-

Because it is too complicated, and it is easy to collide with names (pronunciation), Nanako usually checks by her full name.

Megumin's name is relatively common in Japan. For example, someone in Nanako's class may have this name.
