Thirteen brothers urged me to get married

77.

Xuezhi's work in the Armed Detective Agency is gradually on the right track.

The relationship with the younger brothers has also been fixed. She goes home every week, and the younger brothers come to see her when they are free on weekdays.

It's just that the younger brothers have a lot of free time, so a few younger brothers come to him every day.

This made Xuezhi very happy. She was not used to not meeting the lovely Odoudou in the first week.

Xuezhi still understood at this time that Dazai Osamu and Ranpo turned into childish ghosts and quarreled around her at that time, but they were actually caring for her who had left home in Chuchu in a disguised form.

For the next week, Xuezhi wrapped their lunch boxes as a thank you, and prepared all their favorite food.

There are fewer gatherings with friends, but they also have their own affairs, and the opportunities to meet are not too many, and everyone is quite used to it.

After Xuezhi learned how to skip shifts flexibly to catch fish, she had a little more time.

But because they were in different cities, they didn't make many appointments across cities, but the online connection was still very strong.

Xuezhi felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

She found that mastering supernatural powers really brought great changes to her life.

The only thing that makes her regret is that she still can't find the key to redeem her love.

On the first day she came to the Armed Detective Agency, Xuezhi tried to redeem her love, but failed.

Instead, it was successful once after replacing it with redeeming courage.

Xuezhi speculates that it may be because her desire to redeem her love is not strong.

This guess was confirmed on the No.20 day.

As soon as the redemption cooldown period ended, Xuezhi tried again, but still couldn't find the switch to turn on the redemption love.

Thinking of her father worrying about her these days, Xuezhi couldn't help but blame herself.

Fukuzawa Yukichi has not been idle these days. Apart from the affairs of the detective agency, he is still thinking of other ways for Xuezhi.

Xuezhi saw him talking with Ranpo and Dazai Osamu in the office more than once.Not only dodged her, but also tried every means to distract her.

If it wasn't for the stereotyped words from the president's secretary Haruno Kirako, she wouldn't even know that they were discussing her affairs, but thought they were discussing major issues such as the development direction of the detective agency.

Xuezhi herself is not really concerned about redeeming her love, she thinks it is dispensable to her.

After learning that Fukuzawa Yukichi, Ranpo, and Osamu Dazai had a small meeting behind her back to worry about her, the pressure was instantly on her side.

Xuezhi thought: "Is this considered to be a strong desire?"

It's a pity that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

No.20 day's redemption of love still failed.

After trying for several hours and still failing to activate the supernatural ability, Xuezhi finally gave up.

She decided to temporarily give up her love and try to redeem her diligence.

Then it worked once.

Xuezhi: "..."

Xuezhi: "Are you really my superpower?"

Although she was speechless in her heart, she still spent all the property under her name to redeem her hard work.

From loss to redemption, it took a total of more than a month, and the impact of this redemption on Xuezhi's life was not as obvious as that of redemption of courage.

But in any case, her daily life is still a lot easier.

At least she won't just lie down on the bench by the side of the road and don't want to move when she's out on a mission.

I also don’t know how to sleep on the table when I’m so sleepy that I can’t keep my eyes open.

I don't even know how to put down the bowls and chopsticks and lean on the seat to become a puddle of cat cakes while eating.

……

Two days have passed since No.40 came to the detective agency, and Xuezhi still hasn't been able to redeem her love.

During this time, Yukie attended Akashi Seijuro's 24th birthday party.Having redeemed her courage, she is no longer afraid of occasions like banquets, but she is still not used to it.

Nothing happened unexpectedly at this banquet. If there is anything special about it, it is probably that during the banquet, Keigo Atobe spent more than half of his time negotiating with Seijuro Akashi.

Christmas comes shortly after Akashi Seijuro's birthday.

After Yukie declined the invitation of her friends to the Christmas party, and sent them gifts, she spent Christmas Eve with her brothers at home——she went to Yokohama for Christmas and spent it with everyone from the Armed Detective Agency.

On the end of the year, Xuezhi celebrated the birthday of the triplets Chun, Zi and Zao, which was also their coming-of-age ceremony.Asahina's family did not hold a banquet, but the family rarely gathered at the House of Dawn.

Grandpa, uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​who live in Aomori, fourth brother Hikari who is out cleaning his resume, and mother Miwa who is preparing for a concert abroad, came back to participate in this birthday family dinner.

……

New Year's Day is Xuezhi's birthday, just one day after the birthdays of the triplets.

The lineup for the coming-of-age ceremony family banquet was reserved until Xuezhi's birthday, probably knowing that her supernatural powers had eaten up all her property, so everyone unanimously chose material birthday presents.

Xuezhi roughly estimated that the gift received on this day may be worth more than the property under her previous name.

Xuezhi really wanted to refuse, the salary of the detective agency was not low, and she was really not short of money.

But in the eyes of her elders and younger brothers, she is now a pitiful pauper.

In the end, it was Grandpa who said: "I'll accept it if I give it to you. Isn't there something else that hasn't been redeemed? How can I redeem it if I don't have money!"

Xuezhi didn't refuse.

But she actually doubted in her heart that even if she really managed to find the switch to turn on the redemption of love, the things that need to be exchanged might not be as simple as the previous two times.

The birthday gifts sent by friends also contain their own thoughts.

It was the first time for Xuezhi to receive birthday presents from so many friends, and she cherished putting them in the right place in the room one by one. This process made her feel very happy.

……

On the third day after New Year's Day, Hakone Ekiden begins.

Xue Zhi and his younger brothers went together to cheer for the seventh younger brother Zao who represented Kansei University in the competition.Zao has trained for this Hakone Ekiden and his companions for a long time, and finally it is the moment of decisive victory, which is also the moment of their respective harvests.

Xuezhi watched the young people running in the wind, watching their hair and sweat flying in the wind, watching them exhaust their last effort to reach the finish line, and tears rolled down from her eyes unconsciously.

In this year's Hakone Ekiden, Kanmasada won the highest score over the years - No.3!

From breaking into the top ten for the first time three years ago and getting the seed spot of Hakone Ekiden, to breaking into the top three this time, Kansei University has been persisting, working hard, and making progress.

Seeing how they were working hard for their dreams, Xuezhi felt that her heart was also full of strength.

It was as if something was awakened, something was lit.

……

From the day of Hakone Ekiden, Yukie's heart inexplicably calmed down.

Even though she still couldn't find the key to redeeming her love, she was not in a hurry, as if she already had a well-thought-out plan and the chance to win.

But when Fukuzawa Yukichi asked her, the answer she gave was: "The way to redeem love? I haven't found it yet."

Fukuzawa Yukichi: "..."

Then Xuezhi was pulled into the small meeting of Yukichi Fukuzawa, Ranpo, and Osamu Dazai.

Xuezhi: "It turns out that you guys were really discussing my affairs in the small meeting."

Xuezhi asked them with a smile: "How is it? Have you found a solution?"

Luanbu lay on the table and looked at her boredly: "Don't ask Luanbu, Luanbu doesn't know."

"No way, you can't even walk in disorder?" Xuezhi couldn't believe it.

Osamu Dazai smiled: "After all, the study of people is not what Ranpo is good at."

Luanbu snorted, but did not refute.

Xue Zhi looked at Osamu Dazai, blinked: "Do you have a clue?"

Osamu Dazai raised his index finger and smiled triumphantly: "It has already been implemented."

"When? Why didn't I know?" Xuezhi was surprised.

Regarding her question, the other three people in the conference room remained silent.

But the smiling and silent appearance made Xuezhi puff up her cheeks anxiously: "Pretending to be profound! Hmph!"

It was Fukuzawa Yukichi who felt sorry for his daughter, but he only said four words: "Subtle."

Unable to guess their implementation measures, Xuezhi turned to ask about their analysis results.

They didn't hide this question: "Because you still resist love in your heart. And resistance stems from fear."

Xuezhi refused to admit it: "How could it be? My courage is back, why am I afraid?"

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked into her eyes and said, "Everyone has courage, but no matter how brave a person is, there is something to be afraid of."

Xuezhi pursed her lips and remained silent, but she knew that her father was right.

Fukuzawa Yukichi stroked her hair: "Don't be afraid."

His gaze is majestic yet kind: "Do you remember what Dad said? According to Xuezhi, it doesn't matter if you don't grow up, and it doesn't matter if you don't get married, as long as Dad is here."

"Ugh-"

Xuezhi's tears burst again.

Osamu Dazai said with a smile amidst her crying: "If you don't want to marry, can you consider me? I can marry you."

Then he was kicked out unanimously by the other three people in the conference room.

……

I don't know if their measures really worked, or because Xuezhi's life is getting richer and her horizons are getting wider and wider in the various tasks of the detective agency.

She really felt that something was accumulating and slowly changing, just waiting for the day when the quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change.

It was an ordinary day.

Xuezhi, who has been able to take care of herself, returns from a mission alone. At a certain moment when she is walking on the pedestrian bridge, the setting sun slantly elongates her shadow.

She followed her own shadow to see a pair of old people walking hand in hand, walking tremblingly on the sidewalk under the overpass, the smiles on their faces looked extraordinarily beautiful under the reflection of the setting sun.

At the other end of the bridge, a familiar figure walked towards her.

He should have come to find her on purpose. He walked towards her in a hurry, and finally stopped a few steps away from her.

Xuezhi looked up at him, there was light in her eyes, and him.

She didn't know how touching the smile on her face was at that moment.

The moment she was embraced by him, a light blue ball of light appeared in front of her eyes.

That light group represents the power of will.

"It turned out to be like this." She was determined to redeem her love.

A familiar voice rang in my ears:

[The transaction is established. 】
