After becoming a chaotic daughter

Shopping Street.

Today is a rest day. As one of the streets with the most traffic in Yokohama, the shopping street is full of people who come out to shop. Because Yosano said that as a "father", he should be responsible for buying new clothes for his daughter, so although Wanting to sleep in, Ranpo finally reluctantly followed Yosano and took Nanako out.

This is the first time Nanako really "goes out" after crossing over. It's not to go to some messy crime scene, nor to go to the coffee shop and convenience store downstairs to buy food, but to "go out to play" in a serious manner. ".

Yosano, who is quite familiar with the shopping street, took the novice father and daughter to the area where children's clothing stores are concentrated. There are a series of dozens of shops on both sides of the street, and there are child mannequins in children's clothing. , the bright lights in the glass window further set off the exquisite and beautiful clothes on these dolls.

Nanako stood in front of a high-end children's clothing store, staring at the dazzling children's clothing in the window, and opened her mouth blankly.

【……Amazing. 】

[Are children's clothes so gaudy now? 】

Before her sudden death, Nanako was a 16-year-old sophomore in high school who was stunned. She wore a uniform like a sack every day. She hadn’t been shopping for a long time. Her impression of “children’s clothing” was still the same as that of ten years ago. "Country flavor" floral padded jacket and plastic sandals.

The exquisite and fashionable children's clothing in front of them looks more elegant than the clothes worn by adults.

"Do you want to go into this store to buy clothes?" Seeing Nanako stop in front of the window of this store, he walked around looking at Nanako who was stunned, and then looked at the bright and beautiful clothes in the window, he pulled Looking at Nanako, he walked towards this seemingly expensive shop, and he didn't forget to turn around and call Yosano who was still picking out socks for Nanako in the next shop.

"With Ms. Yosano—!"

"Yes, yes, here we come."

In order to prevent Ranpo from buying some strange clothes for Nanako—in fact, Ranpo almost took Nanako to Ultraman’s cos clothing store when he first entered the shopping street—he explained to Yosano repeatedly, the choice of clothes It's up to her and Nanako to do it themselves, as "father", Ranpo just needs to prepare his wallet.

You know, the bonus that Luanbu received last month is still quite a considerable number.

This is one of the largest children's clothing stores in the shopping street. From the hats on the head to the shoes on the feet, all kinds of children's clothing and accessories are available. There is even a special area for children's daily necessities. It is like a small shopping mall. .

As a standard configuration of the "mall", Yosano took a shopping cart on the left hand side of the entrance, and carried Nanako into the child seat on the shopping cart.

The small child seat was a bit cramped, but it was just right for Nanako.The experience of sitting in this position was a bit novel. Nanako had a small face slumped, clutched the handshake tightly, and shook her short legs protruding from the iron bars, feeling that she was not sitting very securely.

The heavy responsibility of pushing the cart was handed over to Ranpo, who was his father, and he took over the shopping cart and Nanako in the cart from Yosano. He stared at it for three seconds, then turned his head and shouted to Xie Ye:

"With Yosano-san—I want to sit here too!!"

"..." Yu Xie Ye, who had just walked out two steps, paused, and held his forehead with a headache: "No! Only under six years old can ride this, there is a sign on the shopping cart, Mr. Ranpo."

Luanbu pouted unhappily after being rejected, resigned himself to his fate in frustration and pushed the cart. After taking two steps, he immediately realized that the pushcart was also very fun. With another slam on the brakes, Nanako sitting in the car would dangle around due to inertia, like a tumbler.

He happily found new fun for himself, and quickly put the depression of being rejected by Xie Ye behind him.

Nanako who feels like she's sitting on a bumper car instead of a shopping cart: "..."

Come to a shopping guide to stop this bear behavior and save her.

After going around the store with Yosano twice, and Ranpo happily pushing the car around twice, Nanako finally got out of the bitter sea of ​​riding in the car because she wanted to try on clothes, and was hugged off the baby chair.

In the left hand is a cute lace idyllic skirt, and in the right hand is a handsome sportswear with contrasting colors, fake two pieces, and Xie Ye fully respected Nanako's opinion, and asked her patiently: "Which one does Nanako like? Two pieces It’s okay to buy them all—anyway, Dad has money.”

Nanako who just got out of the car was still a little dizzy, she felt as if she heard sister Akiko say something strange, "Anyway, Dad has money"... something, she shook her head to wake up, thinking that she probably heard Wrong, after all, her Japanese is still very bad.

Nanako glanced at the sweet little skirt, then at the stylish fake two-piece, and then looked back at the shopping cart, losing interest, squatting alone and poking at the chaotic pace of plush doll decorations in the store.

【…】

Nanako bypassed Yosano, slowly ran to the hanger with "60% off" in the corner, and grabbed the hem of a T-shirt.

This one is cheap, let’s buy this one. The small skirt and the fake ones are very expensive at first glance. The cheap dad is always facing the crisis of expulsion, and his family is poor. She should save more money, lest she will starve to death before her dad finds a new job. street.

"This, buy." She stumbled and said to Xie Ye, paused, and found that she seemed to have reversed the Japanese subject-verb-object order again, and changed her words: "Buy, this."

Yosano took a look at the T-shirt she was holding, and automatically "translated" Nanako's meaning in his heart.

【Oh, I like clothes that are comfortable and simple to wear. 】

Thinking so, she put the dress back, led Nanako to another row of hangers, rummaged through it, and found a white hooded T-shirt with a cartoon bear printed on it. For the children, I picked out a pair of chocolate-colored overalls from another hanger.

She stuffed the clothes and trousers into Nanako's arms, and said "Call me if you don't know how to wear them", then pushed Nanako into the dressing room, and closed the door with a bang.

Nanako looked at the full-length mirror on the door of the locker room, and in the mirror was a little carrot head with an expressionless face, looking a little dazed, holding his clothes.

She lowered her head, flipped through the hang tags on her clothes and trousers, glanced at the price on the hang tags, and then converted them into soft sister coins at the exchange rate of 6.

Hoodie 180.

Overalls 220.

The school uniform she wore before was only 49.9, and the pajamas she wore when she died suddenly after staying up late for homework were bought on Taobao for [-] a set.

Nanako carefully put on the hoodie and overalls, looked in the mirror, and felt the light of money radiating from her body.

She stood on tiptoe, opened the door of the dressing room, poked her head out, and looked outside first.

Standing next to a row of skirt hangers with Yosano, it seemed that she wanted to choose a skirt for her, but was interrupted by Luanbu, who was holding a ball of fluffy things in his hand, who didn't know what it was, and danced with him. Talking to Yosano.

Nanako went out, and the shopping guide standing by saw her, squatted down, and helped her straighten her hat and unbuttoned straps.

"This set looks good on you. The trousers seem to be one size too big. I'll find you a smaller size later and try them on." The shopping guide said softly, "Brothers and sisters still know how to wear them." It’s so kind of you to take you out to buy clothes, isn’t it? Children should also say thank you to their brothers and sisters.”

Nanako shook her head: "No, brother, yes, dad."

The little sister of the shopping guide paused and was a little surprised: "Oh, it's your parents. Your parents look so young, just like brothers and sisters."

Nana shook her head again: "No, father, mother, yes, father, sister."

"Oh~ so it's my father and sister...huh???" The shopping guide's professional smile froze on her face.

Dad takes his eldest daughter and younger daughter out to buy clothes? ?

She glanced at Nanako who was wearing a four-year-old child's clothes, and then looked back at Yosano and Ranpo who was about sixteen or seventeen years old.

【……Um? ? ? 】

Even a well-informed shopping guide couldn't turn his mind for a while.

After tidying up her clothes, Nanako left her and ran to Ranpo and Yosano.

"...It's changed." She grabbed onto Luanbu's small cloak. She was already very proficient in this movement. The height of the small cloak was just right, and it was easy to grasp. Grabbing the small cloak of Ranbu.

"Ah, have you changed it? Let me see..." Xie Ye stopped talking with Ranpo, and squatted down to look at her, "...the pants seem to be a size smaller...I'll ask the clerk. "

Yosano and Yosano went to ask the clerk, leaving Nanako and Ranpo standing here waiting.

Seeing Yosano go away, Ranpo mysteriously hugged a ball of furry things in his arms, squatted down and whispered to Nanako: "Look! Dad found you the coolest pajamas!"

As he spoke, he shook off the furry thing in his hand.

A golden Pikachu pajamas, with pointed ears protruding from the hat, and a lightning-shaped tail on the back of the buttocks.

Nanako: "..."

She took out the tag hidden in her pajamas and took a look.

11600 yen, which is almost [-] yuan converted into RMB.

Edogawa Ranpo, you don't starve to death on the street, who starves to death on the street.

Feeling that she has shouldered the heavy responsibility of supporting her family, Nanako, who was forced to plan carefully, immediately shook her head like a rattle, and hurriedly turned her head and ran to find Yosano.

*****

Putting on the newly bought clothes, Nanako was carried back to the bumper car...on the shopping cart.

There are already a few shopping bags in the car, all of which Nanako nodded to buy. She tried her best to pick out the cheapest clothes among the clothes she and Yosano chose, but the price was still not much lower, and she didn't know whether it was children's clothes or not. So expensive, or this store is too expensive.

Sitting on the child seat with no expression like a log, Nanako's heart remained unmoved, and she was pushed excitedly by chaotic steps and ran to the daily necessities area.

After shopping for clothes, I have to buy a new toothbrush, toothpaste, and shower gel.

The handles of children’s toothbrushes are always made into a special cartoon shape. I squatted at the side of the toothbrush shelf, compared them one by one, and then picked a luminous squirrel handle toothbrush for Nanako that glows at night, although Nanako can’t What is the use of understanding this luminous function, does anyone really brush their teeth with the lights off at night?

Oh, there are still.

Nanako looked at the chaotic walk who also picked out a toothbrush with a luminous puppy dog ​​handle for herself, and felt that before going to bed tonight, she might be forced to turn off the lights and brush her teeth.

"Nanako—do you want strawberry-flavored toothpaste or grape-flavored toothpaste?" Ranbu who started to choose toothpaste squatted in front of the shelf, studying different flavors of toothpaste, and asked Nanako without raising his head, "...Eh, the above It says that this toothpaste is edible!"

Nanako thinks that "edible" should mean "don't worry about children eating by mistake", not "can be eaten as a snack".

But Ranpo obviously thought it was the latter, because Nanako watched him throw several flavors of... flavored toothpaste into the shopping cart.

"Bath gel... ah, this one needs milk, drink milk to grow taller!" Luanbu threw two more bottles of milk-scented body wash into the shopping cart, and turned to search for shampoo , "Shampoo...it needs watermelon flavor."

The shopping cart was quickly filled to the brim, and Yosano, who had picked out cream for Nanako at the other end, also came back. She looked at a cart of daily necessities that could last three years, and looked at it again, she was indifferent, not even turning her head Back, Nanako was sitting in the car dryly.

she:"……"

Forget it, she gave up, it wasn't her salary that was burned anyway.

Stuffing a little yellow duck into Nanako's hand, Luanbu contentedly pushed a cart full of daily (ordinary) necessities, and walked towards the cashier.

Nanako held the little yellow duck, raised it to the height of her eyes, and pinched it.

"Gah-"

The little yellow duck called out slowly.

She turned over the little yellow duck and looked at the label attached underneath.

【500 yen/piece】

30 yuan a rubber duckling.

Apparently, the IQ tax paid off well on her dopey dad.

Nanako felt a little hopeless, and she wanted to go back and ask the president, Grandpa Detective Agency, if they could recruit six-year-old child laborers.

The author has something to say:

Nanako: It's over, this father doesn't earn much, but spends a lot, I'm going to wander the streets to pick up trash

Edogawa·Last moonlight bonus is 50 yen·Ranpo: secretly take the expensive Pikachu pajamas to the checkout and mix them into a pile of shopping bags
