A small dark green bus was burning in the parking lot.

The shock wave of the explosion caused the bus to leave its original parking position and fly to the open space in the middle of the parking lot. The whole body of the bus almost turned over, like a soda can that was crushed by someone, and was greatly twisted from the middle. The exterior of the car was sunken, the glass in front of the driver's cab and the windows on both sides were shattered into powder, and the pillar of fire shot up from the inside of the car like a dancing snake, enveloping the whole car, and the high temperature melted everything. Turned into black coke.

Oda Sakunosuke stood at the door of this office, silently watching the fire caused by the explosion.

This is an office under the Port Mafia, and it is also the shelter where Dazai helped him hide the children. The employees were all emptied in advance, and only the children hid here.

He arrived here 1 minute ago, and about 10 minutes ago, he went to eat spicy curry at the western food restaurant of the familiar boss as usual.

The detective agency sent a boy to help him protect the children, so Odasaku was able to take a breather in the spare time to deal with the mimic, first went to eat a spicy curry, and then went to see the children, but while he was eating the curry, The western food restaurant was attacked by mimic members.

Three enemies wearing gray tattered cloaks rushed into the shop with guns. If Oda hadn't happened to come to eat spicy curry in the shop, the shop owner, who only had an iron spoon and a spatula in his hand, would have killed the group of people at gunpoint. Down.

Oda Sakunosuke pre-empted the attack by relying on his precognitive ability, and knocked out all the enemies within five seconds of rushing into the store. He almost ran out of the store, calling Dazai to clean up the mess, while He drove to the office where the children were.

The thick black smoke rising from the burning bus entered his field of vision hundreds of meters away, and the memories in his brain during those few minutes became unreal, even he himself did not remember how he He drove into the office, opened the door, and got out of the car in the parking lot.

The sound of a new message on his phone woke him up from a trance.

【Detective Agency—from: Unknown Contact】

The blood at the fingertips slowly flowed again at this moment, allowing his stiff fingers to regain control.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't know what the boy sent by the detective agency was capable of, but he didn't doubt it at all. After all, when he was about the same age as the boy, he was already a killer who had done a lot of "business". Oda Sakunosuke is not a man who judges people based on their age, and he has an "advantage" that can barely be regarded as an advantage-since he chose to entrust the detective agency to help, then he will not doubt that the man named Edogawa Words came out of the mouth of the chaotic young detective.

The children he adopted were not in the bus that exploded. The white-haired European boy fled with several children before the car exploded.

He stood silently beside his car, probably because someone nearby called the fire alarm, and soon firefighters arrived and put out the fire that exploded in the bus. Two almost charred bodies were found in the car. All adult males.

The phone in my pocket rang.

Odasaku connected the phone, and the familiar voice of the owner of the western food restaurant came from the microphone: "Xiao Zhi, how is it? Are you okay? The Mafia people came to the store just now, and those enemies have been tied up It was taken."

The boss is an uncle in his 50s, and his tone of voice is cheerful on weekdays, which matches his simple and honest appearance, but now his voice from the microphone seems a little cautious, obviously he is also very cautious. It's about worrying about the children.

"...It's nothing." Oda Sakunosuke replied, and when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was very hoarse. He coughed, turned around and returned to the car, sat in the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt.

"Boss, I might want to change jobs," he said to his boss.

The western food restaurant run by the boss is also owned by the Mafia. As a low-level mafia, Oda is responsible for very few shops, and this western food restaurant with few customers is one of them.Because of the spicy curry, Oda has a good relationship with the owner of this western food restaurant. At least in Oda's poor "personal network", the boss can be ranked among the top few. Ask the boss to help him take care of the children.

Sometimes he also talks about some very common topics with his boss, just like talking with his elders.

"Ah...is that so?" Hearing his words, the boss's tone was a little bit emotional, but he didn't mean to object at all, "Xiao Zhi, you are still young, if you want to change jobs, go for it, most people have to do it all their lives. There are very few people who live in all kinds of jobs and can only do one job for the rest of their lives.”

"If I change jobs, I can go to your place to eat spicy curry." Oda started the car and held the steering wheel with one hand.His eyes had already moved away from the scorched fair car, looking at the road in the rearview mirror, he controlled the car to back up, and was about to leave here.

The boss laughed loudly: "Of course."

Oda drove the car onto the road: "Then I'll pick up the children first, and I'll eat curry at your place tomorrow."

He hung up the phone and drove in the direction of the detective agency.

It started to rain lightly.

*******

The detective agency was buzzing.

Standing on an empty desk, Gogol held his head high, with a deep smile on his face. He was wearing an ordinary black and white patchwork shirt and cropped pants, and a pair of black lace-up shoes on his feet. His shoulders were deep The black cloak reaches down to the calf.

He raised his right hand, raised the cloak with his arm, gathered half of it again, and then flipped it off:

"--flower!"

A bouquet of small white flowers with raindrops appeared in his hand.

"Wow!" Surrounded by the desk, several boys and girls exclaimed excitedly, applauding excitedly, their palms turning red.

Gogol handed the flowers to the youngest girl, Saki Le, and then gathered up the cloak again, counting down for three seconds, and suddenly raised it again:

"--candy!"

He held four lollipops between his five fingers, one for each of the five children, but one was still missing, so he stretched out his hand to scoop it up in the air, opened his palm, and another lollipop appeared out of thin air. The root candy was given to Shinji who didn't get any candy just now.

"Yeah!!" The children who got the candy clapped the table, jumping and jumping, and the oldest boy Xingsuke raised his hand and proposed: "Brother Gogol! Let's have another 'that'! That!"

Although they have only been together for a few days, he has been completely overwhelmed by Gogol's powerful "superpowers", and he surrendered the throne of "Big Brother" wholeheartedly, hoping to learn Gogol's unique skills, so that he will Then he can lead his younger brothers and sisters to successfully "sneak attack" Oda.

"Oh~ how can I do this~" Gogol turned his face away in embarrassment, not meeting their expectant gazes, "If you just do what you want to see me, then wouldn't I look very inferior as a magician? Is it~~”

"Brother Gogol is the most powerful!"

"Brother Gogol is super strong!"

"That's right! The world's number one magician!"

"Ah, um, that, fierce, powerful!"

"Want to see it!"

"How can I do this~~~" Gogol walked up and down on the desk shaking his head, whetted their appetite, walked around twice, suddenly stopped, and then jumped off the desk immediately down.

Almost at the same time he landed lightly, the door of the detective agency was opened from the outside.

Holding a small umbrella in her hand, Nanako stood at the door of the detective agency, staring blankly at the situation in the office area. Beside her, Oda Sakunosuke who opened the door was also a little bit stunned by the situation in front of her.

"Oda Saku!" Seeing Oda Sakunosuke, several children who were watching "magic" around Gogol all rushed over, hung on his body like a koala, and chatted happily The tongue spoke.

"That group of mafia guys are too nasty! Brother Gogol led us all out in a few moments, let them face the empty carriage hahaha——"

"That's right, Odasaku, but I was still taken aback!"

"Uh-huh……"

The children seemed to be unscathed and very energetic. They seemed not to have been frightened by the attack half an hour ago. Oda listened to them talking, and probably figured out what happened. thing.

Two men in ragged cloaks rushed into the office and tied them all to the bus, but Gogol quickly escaped with his powers, and then wandered back to the detective with a few children She even had crepes on the way.

But they seemed completely unaware of the explosion.

It seems that the mimic person wanted to kidnap them at first, but why did it become an "explosion" in the end?And it's still when there are only those two mimic members in the car.

Oda Sakunosuke couldn't figure out the contradiction. He only saw Nanako slowly inserting the umbrella into the umbrella stand beside him, walked into the detective agency with his schoolbag on his back, and said to Gogol while putting the schoolbag on his back. What did you say?

"Guoguoli, step on the table." Nanako took off her schoolbag and put it on the chaotic office chair. Nanako turned her head to talk to Gogol while looking for her homework. Her expressionless face looked a little dull.

"Huh? No~"

Gogol categorically denied it, with a smile on his face, his head was dangling, and the braid hanging behind him was also dangling. He was now much taller than Nanako, and Nanako was standing with him. His chin was so high that Gogol had to look down to see Nanako's paralyzed little face.

"I heard it outside, you stepped on the table, the sound of 'dong dong dong'." Nanako said with certainty.

"You must have heard it wrong." Gogol said to Nanako, his golden eyes curled up with a smile, "That's the sound of them knocking on the table!"

"..."

Nanako lowered her head and thought for a while, she felt that she couldn't distinguish the sound of stepping on the table and knocking on the table. She heard it in the corridor outside, and she couldn't hear it clearly through the door and the wall.

So she quickly gave up and continued to dwell on this matter, said "Oh", and asked Gogol, "Where is Dad?"

"I don't know—" Gogol propped up the table and sat down on the chaotic desk, "I don't seem to see it, maybe I haven't come back after going out, Mr. Kunikida is not there, and I am in the infirmary with Ms. Xie Ye Here are photos of severed human limbs.”

"Is the president grandpa here?" Nanako thought for a while and asked again.

"Yes." Gogol answered her.

Nanako scratched her hair, put the homework book she found on the table, then ran to the clerk's office, and soon came out with a young lady member wearing red square glasses.

This is Haruno Haruko who just joined the job not long ago, the newly recruited president's secretary, who is mainly responsible for assisting the president in handling various affairs.In Nanako's perception, when the employees in the agency are only divided into two categories: "investigators" and "clerks", "secretary to the president" should be regarded as the most powerful position, and the work of other people is done by her. distributed.

"This is Uncle Oda." Nanako took Haruno to the office area and pointed out Sakunosuke Oda to her.

"Okay." Haruno said to Nanako in a good temper, with a gentle smile on his face, and looked up at Sakunosuke Oda.

She was wearing the uniform of a female member, white shirt, knee-length skirt, and gray vest. She looked like a standard white-collar worker. Quiet down, no longer noisy.

——It looks like a solemn occasion to discuss the work of adults.

"Mr. Oda Sakunosuke?" Haruno asked in a kind tone.

"Yes." Oda Sakunosuke subconsciously stood up straight, and the children who were hanging on his body immediately climbed down, and stood obediently beside him one by one, peeking at Haruno curiously and cautiously.

Haruno continued to ask him, "I heard from Nanako, do you want to apply for the job?"

"Yes." Oda Sakunosuke nodded, and replied dryly, feeling a little cramped for no reason.

The smile on Haruno's face remained unchanged, and he said to him in a gentle tone: "Then please give me your resume."

Oda didn't realize that a resume is required for job hunting Sakunosuke: ...

"Mr. Oda?" Haruno called him, with a bit of doubt in the smile on his face.

"Sorry." The unprepared Oda Sakunosuke could only ask straightforwardly, "Can I lend me a piece of paper and a pen?"

Nanako ran away without saying a word, found a blank A4 paper (for origami airplanes) and a fountain pen (for playing crossword puzzles in magazines) on the chaotic table, then ran back, put the pen and paper hand it to him.

Oda Sakunosuke thanked Nanako, took the pen and paper, apologized to Haruno, and then sat down at the vacant desk nearby.

He held a fountain pen, looked at the blank paper in front of him, sat motionless for a minute, and then found that he, who had never written a resume, didn't know how to write a resume.

After all, whether he was a killer or a mafia, he didn't need to write a resume. Maybe he needed it to join the Sen's Club, but he didn't even sign a labor contract when he joined the Port Mafia.

——Since he has not signed a labor contract, then it is not considered a breach of contract if he quits, right?

Oda Sakunosuke's thoughts wandered strangely.

Standing next to him, Nanako saw that he didn't write a word for a long time, so she stretched out her hand and pulled the A4 paper in front of him to her, then went to find a pencil, held the pencil and scratched twice, and gave him the pencil. Hua pulled out a resume template and pushed the paper back in front of him.

The white paper turned into a form, and Oda Sakunosuke was relieved. He thanked Nanako again, then picked up the pen again, filled out the "form", and handed the first resume in his newly released life to the waiting side of Haruno.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." He said to Haruno very politely.

"...No, it's nothing."

Haruno also answered him very politely, took the resume and bowed slightly to Oda, and walked into the side door of the office area with the resume, intending to send it to the president for viewing.

As she walked, she glanced at the crude handwritten resume.

[Oda Sakunosuke, male, 23 years old, date of birth..., phone number..., no education, no education experience..., driver's license, proficient in firearms and gymnastics...

Work experience: killer; grassroots employee of the port mafia]

Haruno Kirako: ...?

Did she just see something that wasn't quite right?
