……thirsty.

The air conditioner was humming, the dormitory was full of air-conditioning, a small yellow light was on on the tatami, Nanako crawled out of the bed, her sleepy head was still dizzy, the room was too dry, she felt her throat Feeling a little uncomfortable, I fumbled for water to drink.

With her head down, her eyes half-closed, she staggered into the kitchen, groping for her small porcelain cup and kettle on the kitchen counter in the dark, poured herself a glass of warm water in a daze, and stood up. He drank it in front of the kitchen counter, and then hiccupped, feeling as if his stomach was full of water, gurgling and swaying.

【Dinner...too much sukiyaki...】

She put the small cup back on the kitchen counter, clutching her stomach, feeling a little uncomfortable, but she was too sleepy to move at all.

After standing drowsily in the kitchen for a while, Nanako turned around and slowly moved back into the living room.

It was very late now, the room was quiet and there was no sound at all.Lying on the tatami mat in disorderly steps, half of his body was moved out of his futon, and the covering quilt was kicked to the side, and he was still holding Nanako's little yellow duck doll in his hand. I don't know when it was Snatched from Nanako.

[...to cover the quilt. 】

Nanako thought vaguely, she walked unsteadily to the quilt kicked away by Ranbu, knelt down and reached out to grab the quilt, dragged up a quilt crookedly, spread it out to cover half of Ranbu, and saw The ball of bright yellow that Ranbu was holding in his hand.

So Nanako let go of the quilt in her hand again, crawled over, stopped by Luanbu's hand, stretched out her weak arm, grabbed the little yellow duck's soft buttocks, sat on the tatami, and held back for a while. He took a deep breath and pulled it out forcefully.

One, two, three.

The little yellow duck doll was pulled out of Ranbu's hand with a puff, Nanako also plopped, fell backwards and lay on the tatami, the little yellow duck that was snatched back in her hand flew to The wall, hit the wall and fell, and finally rolled into the corner.

With the blurry ceiling in her vision, Nanako felt her eyelids were heavy, and she almost fell asleep on the tatami mat. It took her a long time to get up, her eyelids drooped, and she grabbed the quilt, covering Ranbu's whole body , and then crawled to the corner to pick up her little yellow duck.

She squatted in the corner, holding the little yellow duck in her hand, her sleepy eyes were so dim that she wanted to go to sleep, her mind was muddled, and she remembered that the little yellow duck doll seemed to be stuffed in the closet.

So she dragged the little yellow duck doll again, little by little, slowly crawled to the edge of the closet, opened the closet, stuffed the little yellow duck in her hand, and then closed the closet.

【Then...go to sleep...】

Kneeling and sitting on the tatami in front of the closet, Nanako rubbed her eyes, turned around and wanted to crawl back into her bed to continue sleeping, but she only crawled out a few steps, and felt that something was wrong.

Nanako, who was halfway up, turned back, lay down in front of the closet, and opened the closet door.

It was dark inside, and only a messy bedding could be vaguely seen.Nanako reached in with one hand, patted the quilt, but found nothing, so she got into the closet, crawled back and forth in the closet, raised the quilt with her small head, and searched over and over again. , but still nothing was found.

The closet was empty, only a quilt, a pillow, and the little yellow duck she had just thrown in.

She crawled out of the closet, raised her head and looked around slowly. In the living room, there was only Luanbu lying sound asleep, the light in the bathroom was dark, and there was no one in the kitchen. Nanako got up. , Feeling the wall, walked to the entrance, tiptoed to turn on the light in the entrance.

Slap,

The light in the entrance came on, Nanako bowed her head and counted, there were only two pairs of shoes left in the entrance.

She ran back to the living room, pushed Luanbu who was still sleeping soundly: "Dad."

"Huhu..." Luanbu was pushed and swayed by her, but he didn't seem to wake up at all, and he was still sleeping soundly.

"Dad, get up." Nanako pushed Ranbu harder, Ranbu muttered twice, turned over and continued to sleep.

Can't cry... Nanako scratched her little head, thought for a while, ran to the kitchen, took out a bottle of iced Coke from the refrigerator, and stuck it on Ranbu's neck.

"—Wow!"

With a jerky random step by Bing, he immediately rolled over from the bed and sat up.

"Father." Nanako was sitting on the tatami next to his futon, holding an ice-cola, with her head up, and a pair of dark eyes staring at him.

"...Huh?" With his messy hair on his head, he rubbed his eyes in random steps, covered his ice-stricken neck, yawned big, answered in a daze, and sat on the quilt for a while Only then did I fully wake up, "... Nanako! Don't sneak up on Dad with iced Coke in the middle of the night! Other iced drinks are not allowed!"

"Oh." Nanako responded blankly, and then said, "Father, Guoguoli is gone."

"Huh?... Missing?"

The yawn was stopped in the middle, and he wrinkled his face in disorder, dragged the quilt to the closet, and looked into the closet with his head. The quilt in the closet had been messed up by Nanako just now, and he couldn't tell the difference. There was no sign of sleeping or not, but Gogol's clothes were indeed missing, and a corner of the folded pajamas was exposed under the crooked pillow.

Luanbu kicked off the quilt covering his legs, got up and turned on the light, and went to the porch to have a look.In the hallway, Nanako's light hadn't been turned off, and after a random glance, he could see that there were only two pairs of shoes left under the steps, one pair belonged to him, and the other pair belonged to Nanako.

Gogol's shoes are missing.

Luanbu sat cross-legged on the steps of the entrance, supported his head with one hand, narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and glanced around the entrance casually after he lost his sleepiness. He moved from the shoes on the floor to the door from the inside Lock the locked door.

He just sat in the hallway thinking for a while, didn't say anything, just sat for a short period of time, maybe not even 2 minutes.

Nanako tugged at his sleeve: "Father."

Luanbu turned his head, looked at Nanako who was squatting next to him, and said in a perfunctory tone: "Gogol ran out to play, don't worry about him."

【... Going out to play in the middle of the night? 】

Nanako was very skeptical of this answer.

She said to Luanbu in a nonchalant tone, "But, it's night."

"Some dogs just like to sneak out to play at night." Luanbu said quite naturally.

Nanako scratched her little head: "...the ones who go out to play at night are cats."

"The same goes for dogs!" Ranpo said forcefully, got up and picked up Nanako, and turned off the light in the entrance, "Go back to sleep!"

"Oh."

Being chased back into the bed by Ranpo, Nanako hugged the little yellow duck doll that Ranpo gave her, watched as Ranpo turned off the light, and the room became dark again, she huddled under the blanket and closed her eyes, All he could hear was the slight breathing sound of himself and his chaotic steps not far away.

She was obviously sleepy just now, but now she doesn't seem to be sleepy anymore. Nanako lay down for a while, opened her eyes again, turned over, turned her head and stared at the closed closet for a long time, then suddenly called out for disorderly steps.

"dad."

"Um……?"

"But Guoguoli is not a dog."

"...Go to bed quickly! Children who don't sleep at night will become dwarfs!"

Although she didn't know why her father didn't seem to care about Gogol's disappearance at all, Nanako still said "Oh", and then obediently shrank back into the quilt and went to sleep.

When Nanako woke up the next morning, Gogol still hadn't come back.

Logically speaking, Nanako thinks that she should call the police at this time, but Ranpo doesn't seem to take this matter seriously at all. In contrast, Ranpo cares more about the fact that he has eaten rice balls for breakfast for three consecutive days. It's the same taste.

Although the plum rice balls are sour and sweet and delicious, but after eating them for three days in a row, even a sweet guy like him doesn’t want to continue eating them, so he decided to drop by to buy some sandwiches as a reserve food when he got off work today .

As for Gogol, Ranpo has completely forgotten about this brat.

Sitting on the steps of the entrance, tying a tie on himself in a random manner, he casually said to Nanako: "Don't worry about him, if he wants to come back, he will come back, if he doesn't want to come back, then don't want him."

Nanako thought for a while, and said to Ranpo, "But Guoguoli, I ate a lot of money."

"The cat teacher at the entrance of the coffee shop also ate a lot of daddy's money." Luanbu said.

Nanako: "..."

Carrying a new schoolbag, she stood in the porch, watched Luanbu finally fasten his tie, and asked him, "Dad."

"what?"

"Did I eat a lot of money?" She asked dryly in a flat tone, a pair of dark round eyes stared at Ranbu without turning away.

"You only ate a little money." Luanbu got up and took her hand, and at the same time he stretched out his hand to open the door, he exaggerated his face to scare her, "But if you dare to run around, Dad will let Miss Xie Ye spank your ass."

As he spoke, he led Nanako out the door.

*******

Today, there is another physical education class that Nanako doesn't like.

Physical education in Japan is very troublesome. The third-grade students of Shengye Elementary School have three physical education classes a week. Nanako feels very tired every time she takes physical education class.

Not just ordinary sports such as running and long jump, Japanese elementary school students also learn gymnastics, football, single pole and other things that Nanako has never been exposed to. Her physical strength is inferior to that of her classmates. She doesn't even understand the rules of baseball, a national sport in Japan, and she has to learn everything from the basics.

The schedule for the two-month physical education class is to learn freestyle. All the students in the class seem to be able to swim, but they just need to practice how to swim farther. Only Nanako can't even breathe. Every class has to be taught by the teacher. One time, and then she practiced by herself in the corner of the pool, and after three rounds of class practice, she would come to help her.

Today's physical education class will have a basic physical test, and there is no need to go to the swimming pool, which makes Nanako feel a little more relaxed.Long-distance running is an activity in autumn and winter. It is too hot in summer, so there are only simple test items such as sprinting and long jump. A group of elementary school students line up in order and conduct physical tests one by one. The physical education teacher stands by and records the results. Comments.

"Lung capacity 806, very good, reaching the third grade pass line!"

"The 50-meter run, 12 seconds 1, almost passed the pass, Nanako, do you want to rest for a while, and run again later?"

"Sit-ups, 24, the abdominal strength is good, I will continue to maintain it in the future, and practice more!"

"..."

All the grades were hovering on the edge of the passing line. Even so, the physical education teacher could change his expression and praise, and the smile on his face never changed.Nanako squatted halfway in front of the jumping line, waving her arms expressionlessly, trying her best to muster up her strength, and jumped forward.

"115 centimeters, very good, better than the usual practice results in class! Next, Sanlun classmate."

There was still a full 120 centimeters away from the passing line of 5 centimeters. Nanako, who was ready for the make-up exam, walked away slowly from the field. Behind her came the sound of light landing and the sound of the teacher's report:

"170 centimeters, full marks, Sanluan is worthy of being a member of the basketball team, with a strong jumping ability! Next..."

Compared with producing waste, as a sports waste, Nanako was very self-aware and ran to wait in line to measure her height and weight.

She has won the title of the shortest class in the class for two consecutive years. This year, Nanako has also become the lowest point in the class without any surprise. The second-to-last shortest classmate is a full seven centimeters taller than her, and the tallest classmate is even taller. Twenty centimeters away from her.

"It's 120 centimeters taller than last year! Nanako is growing fast! It won't be long before she grows taller!" The physical education teacher once again found a tricky angle to praise Nanako's height. At the same time, the height of "[-]cm" was written in the record book.

Although the teacher's compliment sounded sincere, Nanako didn't really want to say thank you. She jumped off the measuring machine, picked up her sneakers, and ran to put them on.

As we all know, the flag of "the president is very tall" cannot be set up randomly. Generally, the character with this kind of flag will eventually become the dwarf in the comics who is not necessarily the shortest but will be persecuted by "height", Nanako I don't really want to be the target of persecution.

At the end of physical education class, the school bell rang. After Nanako changed her uniform, she returned to the classroom to pack her schoolbag.

The schoolbag is a new schoolbag that Luanbu took her to buy after eating sukiyaki last night. The new schoolbag is light green, which is a bit similar to the color of the mint ice cream package in the small shop in front of the school. Xie Ye sewed it for her. A new small card was uploaded, the class and name were written by Kunikida, stroke by stroke, the handwriting was neat as if it was printed.

She put on her new schoolbag, put on her sun hat, and walked slowly towards the outside of the school.

It's time for the third grade to participate in club activities. She is the only student in the class who doesn't participate in any clubs, but her grades are good, and she doesn't need to rely on the scores of club activities to make the average score look better. Usually, as long as she participates The practical activities organized by the school can get the basic points of practice.

Therefore, she was the same as in the first grade, and she was the first student to leave the school almost every day.

The weather was very hot, and Nanako leaned against the shadow of the roadside, like jelly mud that had been sunburned, dragged towards the school gate, and when she reached a place where there was no shade, she clutched her hat and ran quickly Where the sun shines.

After running into a new shade of a tree, he immediately returned to his listless and leisurely look, looking at the floor tiles under his feet, walking only on bricks of the same design and color, staggering.

She walked to the school gate, stopped and looked around, but she didn't see any random steps, but only saw a familiar white shadow under the shade of the roadside trees.Nanako ran over with her schoolbag on her back, stopped behind the white dumpling, reached out and pulled the white braid on the white dumpling.

"Guoguoli." Nanako called him.

Squatting on the side of the road eating popsicles, Gogol looked away from a crow parked on the opposite side of the road, looked up at Nanako, with the same smile on his face as usual, his golden eyes curled up .

He took out an ice cream for Nanako from under the cloak, it was mint-flavored ice cream in a light green package.

Nanako received it in her hand and unpacked it. For some reason, the ice cream didn’t melt at all. It was still the same as when it was just taken out of the freezer. Nanako took a small bite and it was frozen hard. A little pain.

"Guoguoli." Nanako didn't dare to bite any more, she sipped the ice cream while talking to Gogol.

"What?" Gogol held a popsicle in his mouth, tilted his head, and looked up at Nanako.

The mint flavor is a bit spicy, and Nanako felt her mouth sting after sipping it for a while. She took the ice cream a little farther away, and then said, "Dad said, if you run away, I don't want you."

"what--"

Gogol let out a strange cry with a long tone, as if he was asking "Why!" in shock.But he just said "Hey" and stood up without saying anything else. The cloak on his body was shaken off, and it was a new white cloak.

Nanako had never seen this cloak before, so I don't know when Ranpo bought it for him.In the past, Gogol’s cloaks were all dark. When the weather was cold, it was a dark cloak coat, and when it was hot, it was a dark cloak that looked a bit old. I don’t know where it came from, but no matter what Anyway, they are all dark colors, because the white ones are too easy to get dirty.

Ok.

It gets dirty too easily.

Nanako licked the ice cream in her hand, and stared at the hem of Gogol's dirty cloak. He was squatting on the side of the road eating popsicles just now, and the cloak fell on the ground. Now it was dirty and black and dusty.

Gogol also followed Nanako's gaze to look at the hem of his dirty cloak.

"You wash it yourself," Nanako said to him.

"Ehhh?!"

Nanako thought for a while, and added: "Also, Dad said in the morning that if you run around, you will be spanked by sister Akiko."

Gogol: "???"

"You're going to get spanked again later."

"what--?!"

Gogol suddenly turned pale with shock.

The author has something to say:

Do you believe it, I really didn’t save the manuscript, woo woo woo

-

The cloak coat and the old cape are Ranpo's childhood clothes, which were changed for Gogol to wear.

The cloak coat is the one that Ranpo wore when meeting the president in Novel 3.

To Gogol's Noble Phantasm: Yosano

I didn't return at night because I went to see Tuosi. During the Longtou War, I always went out for a stroll, so I was noticed by Tuosi.

The new cloak was given by Tosi, because it is easy to get dirty and too difficult to wash, and then it was pressed to the bottom of the box (gradually Nanako.jpg)

-

The big Gogol in the original world didn't know Tuosi before he was replaced to the parallel world

So this is the first time that Tuosi saw Gogol, and Tuosi didn't know that this small Gogol was the parallel world Gogol replaced by the rocket launcher ten years later.

-

Nanako's final height will only be a little over 1.5 meters, because her body is too poor, and she died once, so it's not easy to grow taller in the later stage
