Dazai's girlfriend Natsume

Chapter 4 The Supermarket Robber

The last twilight of the afterglow disappeared on the horizon, the dark night woven into the sky, and the bright full moon shed light.

Natsume Chiya stood by the window, as far as she could see were passers-by in a hurry, passing vehicles, and tall buildings.Among them, the five tallest buildings in the center are extremely eye-catching.Natsume Chiaya knew that it belonged to Mafia, the port in charge of night in Yokohama.

Seeing that Osamu Dazai and Doppo Kunikida still did not appear downstairs, Chiaya Natsume glanced at the time, closed the window, and decided not to wait any longer.

"Chiaya, are you still there?" Ranpo Edogawa heard the sound of closing the window, looked up from the game, and saw that only Natsume Chiaya was left in the Armed Detective Agency.The others left work early, and Edogawa Ranpo was still waiting for Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Natsume Chiaya took out the report template she had written from the printer, tore off a note, and answered Edogawa Ranpo's words while writing: "I'll go back now. I wanted to explain the details of the report template to Mr. Dazai. But it doesn't seem to be possible to wait for them to come back."

Natsume Chiaya thought that according to Kunikida Doppo's plan that "it can be finished in half a day", he and Dazai Osamu would be able to come back before get off work.Who knew that it was already dark, and the two of them hadn't shown up yet.

Edogawa Ranpo was not surprised: "It's normal. As long as Dazai is around, Kunikida's schedule is rarely problem-free."

Natsume Chiaya couldn't help expressing deep sympathy for Kunikida Doppo, and of course, sympathy for herself.If she had known this earlier, she would never have waited so late.

After writing the notes on the report template, she pasted the note on the top and put it on Osamu Dazai's desk, then picked up her shoulder bag, and said to Edogawa Ranpo: "Then, Mr. Ranpo, I First……"

Before she could finish her sentence, Kunikida Doppo strode into the door: "Mr. Ranpo, is the president there? Dazai asked me to give this note to the president."

"In the office." Edogawa Ranpo said.

Kunikida Doppo nodded: "Okay."

Seeing that Natsume Chiaya hadn't left yet, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Miss Natsume, please contact Dr. Yosano and Kenji-kun and ask them to go to the warehouse in Shifafan Street. Dazai is waiting there." Kunikida Doppo hurried into the president's office.

After calling Yosano Akiko and Miyazawa Kenji, Natsume Chiaya asked Edogawa Ranpo: "Mr. Ranpo, do you want me to go with you?"

When Kunikida came out, he happened to hear Natsume Chiaya's words, and replied: "No, there are enough people, Miss Natsume, you can go back and rest."

After all, it is not clear how powerful the man-eating tiger is. For a slender and weak girl like Natsume Chiling, it is better not to go.

Natsume Chiaya didn't think too much, and replied, "Okay, Mr. Kunikida. Be careful."

"Yeah." Kunikida Doppo still did not forget to tell him: "Be careful on the way back. If you meet someone from Mafia at the port, don't approach them."

"I see."

Edogawa Ranpo "clicked" to crush the potato chips, glanced at Natsume Chiaya, and thought, looking forward to seeing Kunikida's expression when Chiaya made a move.

Natsume Chiaya put on her shoulder bag and slowly went back to the staff dormitory of the Armed Detective Agency.The neon lights of the city are brilliant and colorful, and stay on all night.

Walking on the road, Natsume Chiaya was thinking about what to eat tonight.

At Fujiwara's house, Aunt Toko always arranges three meals a day.

Aunt Tazi's cooking skills are very good, but Uncle Zi complained to them that Aunt Tazi used to ask him what he would like to eat for three meals every day, because there were too many choices and he didn't know what to do.Until they were adopted, Uncle Zi said with a smile, "A decision can be made quickly. Both Guizhijun and Qianlingjiang need to eat more meat, they are too thin."

Natsume Chiaya lowered her eyes, and the breeze gently brushed her face, carrying the unique salty smell of the sea.

"I want... to eat tempura." She whispered to herself.

Crispy and delicious tempura, sometimes wrapped in vegetables, sometimes fresh shrimp or crab meat, it all depends on what Auntie Tazi thinks she and her brother want to supplement.

Natsume Chiaya walked into a supermarket, prepared to buy some ingredients, and went back to fry tempura at night.

"Tempura powder, eggs, sesame oil, um... Let's eat fresh bamboo shoots and crab meat."

Natsume Chiaya carefully selected, and suddenly heard a voice from beside her: "Hi, miss, can you give me that?"

Natsume Qianling looked sideways, and a middle-aged man in a white coat pointed at the quick-frozen dumplings in the freezer and smiled politely.Because she was standing in front of the freezer, blocking his path.

The middle-aged man was holding a little blonde girl by the hand, and complained, "I don't want to eat that! Taro Rintaro is such an idiot!"

The middle-aged man coaxed: "Alice sauce, please please, I don't know how to cook anything else."

"Sorry, I blocked you." Natsume Chiaya helped the middle-aged man take out the quick-frozen dumplings and handed them to him.

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, Miss is really kind."

"Hmph, how about Rin Taro?" The little girl called "Alice-chan" pulled Natsume Chiaya's hand and smiled brightly at her: "Thank you sister, I'm Alice, what's your name? "

"My name is Natsume Chiya." Such a cute little girl, Natsume Chiaya bent down and touched her head.Alice even took the initiative to rub her palm, which made Natsume Chiaya sincerely feel that it's no wonder that middle-aged men dote on the little girl so much. If it were her, she might not be willing to be angry with Alice.

"Natsume?" The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and he seemed to have no intention of saying: "It's the same surname as Natsume Soseki-sensei. Do you know Natsume Soseki-sensei?"

Natsume Chiaya was stunned for a moment, Natsume Soseki?It can be seen that the middle-aged man's expression seemed to be just a casual question, so she followed the trend and said, "It's just a coincidence."

Natsume Chiaya was also asked Natsume Soseki before, and she had an inexplicable sense of intimacy for such a question and answer.Thinking of the "literary magnates" in this world again, Natsume Chiaya laughed, and said with a joke that only she knew: "Maybe, I know him, but he doesn't know me."

"Is that so." The middle-aged man looked thoughtful.

Still Alice urged: "Why are you in a daze? Go to checkout!"

"Hey, Alice, don't worry. Let's go, we'll go back."

"..."

Natsume Chiaya didn't care about this episode.She selected the ingredients and went to the cashier to check out.

In front of Natsume Chiaya was a housewife, and the shopping cart was full of things. Natsume Chiaya glanced over and saw that the most stuff in it was coffee jelly.

She seemed to have noticed Chiaya Natsume's gaze, and turned her head to give Chiaya Natsume a friendly smile.

Natsume Chiaya smiled back.

Just before it was time to turn to the front, a gunshot stopped all the screaming.The cashier was taken aback for a moment, then panicked.

Natsume Qianling followed the prestige, three robbers entered the supermarket at some point, one was guarding the gate, and the other two drove the crowd away, making them stand in the corner.They were all packed, and they all had guns in their hands.

"Everyone shut up!" The leading robber yelled, "Come here, hand over your mobile phone, and don't even think about calling the police, or..." He waved the gun in his hand, meaning it was self-evident.

The supermarket was terribly quiet, and even the supermarket staff were forced to huddle with the crowd.Natsume Chiya followed the crowd to the corner, and looked at the robbers calmly.With the threat of gangsters in front of them, no one acted rashly, and they all handed over their mobile phones obediently.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the gangster who collected the mobile phone, Natsume Chiaya took out the mobile phone from her shoulder bag and held it in her hand.She made no attempt to call the police, lest she anger the bandits and let them escape with hostages.At that time, in case of an accident, it is likely to be a life.

"You stay here and watch." After the leader ordered, he went straight to the cashier.

Natsume Chiaya looked at the people around her and frowned slightly.No, there are too many people. If the gangster shoots at her, it is easy to accidentally injure her.She took two steps forward indistinctly, and her movements were not conspicuous due to the obstruction of the crowd.

After slowly moving to the periphery of the crowd, Natsume Chiaya glanced at the two thieves at the cash register and the gate from the corner of her eye, and confirmed that there would be no problem with this angle. She stood where she was, patiently waiting for the thieves who collected the mobile phone to come over.

Suddenly, the gangster in charge of guarding the gate shouted loudly: "It's not good! Boss, there are police!"

"The police? How did they come so fast?!" The boss who was still loading the money was startled, looked sharply at the crowd crowded in the corner, and shouted sharply, "Who called the police?"

The gangster who collected the mobile phone was nearby, striding towards the housewife who was in front of Chiaya Natsume.The average housewife should be scared by now.The lady remained calm, showing no sign of fear.The culprit grabbed the phone and threw it on the ground, smashing the phone to pieces.

The boss made a decisive decision: "Take her, let's run! Use her to threaten the group of policemen if necessary."

Natsume Qianling secretly said that it is not good, she must not let the gangsters take people away.Otherwise, the lady is in danger.

She stepped forward in twos and threes, grabbing the arm of the nearest robber.Before the robber had time to react, the world spun before his eyes, and he was thrown to the ground, slipping away with the bag used to store the mobile phone for a long time. After a few clicks, Natsume Chiaya unscrewed his joints.Immediately afterwards, Natsume Chiya snatched the gun from the gangster's hand, but did not shoot. The gun/gun and the mobile phone in her hand were thrown out together, hitting the foreheads of the other two gangsters. With a "bang", the two fell to the ground.

All of this happened in a flash, so fast that almost no one reacted.

But Natsume Chiaya's ears moved, and she heard the sound of a bullet being loaded.

There's a fourth bandit!

Natsume Chiaya didn't have time to think too much, she threw herself on the housewife next to her.There was screaming everywhere, and the crowd ran out in a panic.

In the chaos, there was a huge sound of shelves collapsing and explosions coming from a corner.

Natsume Qianling didn't wait for the bullet, but instead saw a man under the shelf at the source of the sound, with an exploding gun in his hand, indicating that he and the other three gangsters were accomplices.

She was slightly taken aback. The shelves in the supermarket are always stable, plus the pistol/gun/explosion/bomb, where are there so many coincidences in the world?

The housewife stood up, held Natsume Chiaya's arm, and said gratefully, "Thank you."

She said enthusiastically: "I'm Saiki Kurumi, you were so amazing just now!"
