Yokohama Notes of a Miss Wizard

On the second day after receiving the entrustment fee, Yosano Akiko took Alvira, who had just completed the household registration procedures, to the bank to open an account and apply for a card, and cashed the checks and deposited them in the names of the detective agency and Alvira respectively.

After dealing with all this, she finally transferred enough funds to Alvira as agreed at yesterday's meeting.

"Okay, these are what you deserve." Sitting in the whirlpool cafe, Yosano Akiko pointed to the amount and said, "And these are the funds allocated by the president for you and Mr. Ranpo to go to the UK to participate in the detective competition."

Looking at the amount on the transfer slip, Alvira was quite surprised.She was very puzzled, pushed up the pointed hat, and asked: "It's just to participate in the detective competition, it won't cost so much money, right?"

Yosano Akiko pushed the bank card to her, rested her chin with her left hand, softened her eyebrows and eyes, and lowered her voice a lot.

"The sponsors of the detective competition will indeed be responsible for various issues such as air tickets and accommodation, but the money is given to you out of the hope that you can have fun."

"Because of the Dragon Head War, Mr. Ranpo has been holding back for two months. And you, too, have encountered such a difficult situation when you first came here, and you can't gradually understand the world with peace of mind."

"Because of this, the president hopes that you can have fun for a while and relax."

The little witch stretched out her right hand to cover Yosano Akiko's hand, and asked with concern, "What about you?"

"Dr. Xie Ye, don't you want to go out to relax?" She thought for a while, and covered her hands, "Since Luanbu has stayed in Wanxiangtang for so long, Dr. Xie Ye must have stayed too. It's been a long time, don't you feel bored?"

"The president is already very old, and he is not the kind of person who would get bored because of such things. But..."

"I think it's different from Dr. Yosano."

The temperature of the girl's smile was like freshly warmed sake, ironing across Yosano Akiko's heart.

The female doctor patted her hand to stop her next words.

Holding the coffee spoon and constantly stirring the coffee, Akiko Yosano pretended to sigh: "Before you came here, the president and I have been in charge of taking turns with Mr. Ranpo."

"Mr. Ranpo usually only listens to the president's words. You should have a deep understanding of this."

Seeing Alvira nodding her head in agreement, her smile deepened.

"So, Mr. Ranpo will leave it to you this time, Al."

The sudden and important task made the little witch forget what she wanted to say before, and she solemnly agreed: "Of course, I am the patron saint who swore an oath on the first day I was picked up."

"So Miss Patronus, have you thought about what to prepare?"

Alvira was silent for a while, lying in her arms depressedly, and replied in a muffled voice: "I just remembered that the time was not written on the invitation, so I still have to ask Luanbu."

"I really don't want to ask him such a question that 'the answer can be seen at a glance'..."

IQ must be questioned!

Just as the little witch expected, Edogawa Ranpo didn't even glance at the invitation, once again showing the qualities of a famous detective.

"Haven't the stupid witch ever played puzzle games? Only after passing the previous level can we get clues about the next level. Therefore, we should go to the airport to find the NPC to get clues."

It was clearly a detective contest, but he said it was like an RPG-style puzzle game.

Leading Mr. Detective into a taxi, after Miss Witch told the driver the destination, she lightly rested her head on the glass and looked out the window.

The shadow of the tree quickly moved backwards, and they gradually approached Haneda Airport.

After getting out of the car, Alvira led him to the counter of British Airways under the command of Ranpo Edogawa.

She took out the invitation, patted it on the counter, and pushed it to the staff, "Hi, we need two tickets to London, England."

The lady took a look at the invitation and showed a knowing smile.

She typed a few lines on the computer, and the machine creaked out two tickets.

The staff handed out the ticket with both hands and said, "Welcome to take the British Airways flight and wish you a pleasant journey."

Alvira took the ticket, only to hear Edogawa Ranpo complaining with some dissatisfaction.

"It's all due to the dragon head war, otherwise I can sit at the front!"

"There's nothing you can do about it." The little witch pulled the little detective out of the airport, and stopped a taxi with her hand, "Since you're leaving in less than a week, you might as well think about what you can do for sure." To bring."

"You, only you are the most indispensable!"

Edogawa Ranpo spoke plausibly, and the emerald eyes reflected Alvira's appearance, shining with a light that was not inferior to the sun.

The black-haired girl was speechless for a moment, pinching her slightly red and hot earlobe.She lowered her head, her long curly black hair slipped from behind her ears, covering her fair side face, and she could only vaguely see her lips pursed through her hair.

Opening the car door, Alvira sat in first, "Please take us to the shopping mall."

Sitting on the side of the back seat of the car, the little witch didn't cast even a single glance at the little detective who got into the car after her. She calculated with her fingers: "I want to buy a mobile phone and apply for a calling card. Then I have to prepare Some change of clothes..."

Miss Witch was concentrating on counting the items she was going to buy, and was so surprised by the accumulated amount that she completely forgot about other things.

Edogawa, who was sitting on the side, glanced at her randomly, without speaking, and looked out the window with his chin in his hand.

He was silent, like an all-knowing god who could see everything in the world.

But even a god couldn't see through the fog to see into the witch's mind.

Not only can you buy the items that Alvira planned, but also a bunch of snacks that Ranpo Edogawa requested that she didn't plan.

From Meiji milk chocolate to CHEESEBRAVO cheesecake, from Hokkaido brushed rice cake to raw milk milk square.All kinds of snacks and snacks were taken off the shelves by Mr. Detective and put into the trolley.Even when checking out, the cashier couldn't hide his surprised expression.

Pushing the trolley with several large bags of snacks, Alvira couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Are you going to take these to England?"

"Before going to England, at least two-thirds will be eaten." Edogawa Rampo is confident in his food intake, "If you are counted, then we will not be able to go to England at all."

The little witch raised her eyebrows in disapproval, "I'm not a glutton like you, how could I eat so many snacks?"

The little detective didn't answer, but took out a bag of Maru Nagasaki Extra Strong Cheesecake from the shopping bag.He tore open the package, broke off a corner and stuffed it into her mouth.Then he ate most of the rest by himself, and asked while eating, "What do you think now?"

Alvira swallowed the cake, was silent for a while, stopped, and stood where she was.

She pulled Edogawa Ranpo's wrist, making him turn his head to look at her, and at the same time said very sincerely.

"Let's go buy some more."

After three days of preparation, Mr. Detective and Ms. Witch will board the plane to London, England the next afternoon.

So tonight, they had to pack their bags.

Belongings and snacks can fit in the ring, but not even a suitcase would be outrageous.

After dinner, Alvira followed Edogawa to his room.

The opened suitcase was laid flat on the tatami, and the little witch stood in the center of the room and clapped her hands and said, "Then after packing your things, our luggage will be ready."

With that said, she waved her wand.

The door of the closet opened automatically, and the neatly folded clothes flew into the suitcase like a line.

As a master of space management, Alvira not only packed enough clothes, but also stuffed shampoo, shower gel and even laundry detergent and other toiletries, and even put a hair dryer in.

Seeing Edogawa Ranpo, he was stunned.

His lips parted slightly, and he let out an exclamation of unknown meaning.

After closing the suitcase, Alvira walked up to him and waved her hand in front of his eyes, "What are you thinking? So engrossed."

"...I thought of my mother." The blue eyes of the little detective who had never been sad in front of her rarely showed a bit of sentimentality.

When he was a child, his mother was always able to pack his father's luggage for business trips neatly.

Not only is the father inferior to the mother in terms of reasoning and deciphering, but also the mother is much better than the father in terms of housework.

For example, the luggage on a business trip, when the father took it away, it looked like the mother had packed it, and it was very easy to close.However, when my father came back, the suitcase was full as if he was about to spit it out, and even half a bottle of shampoo would pop out when he opened the zipper.

only……

Seeing his depression, the little witch pretended to be angry and said, "What do you mean by that? Do I look like your mother?"

"No la!"

The little witch's sudden attack pulled Edogawa Ranpo out of his sad memories, he lowered his head in embarrassment, covered his ears and defended.

"I really don't understand why you want to let it go like this!"

The black-haired young man closed his eyes, and replied loudly, completely forgetting the grief that just came over him.

"I don't understand how mother and you did it at all. You can put all those things in the suitcase and it won't be messy at all. Isn't it just a matter of stuffing the luggage in it?!"

"Of course not, hello!" Alvira tapped his head with her magic wand, "It must be sorted before it can be put into the suitcase, otherwise the suitcase is not enough, no matter how big it is."

Edogawa ran his arms across his chest, and took several blows, "So is this skill a female talent, or is it inherited from the mother line? I didn't learn it from my mother. You learned it from your mother." Is it?"

"It's not a female talent, nor is it inherited from the maternal line." The little witch replied casually, lost in thought, "As for learning..."

Her voice was low, inaudible.

"I have no idea……"

Alvira frantically searched for something in her mind, but found nothing.

The little witch lowered her head in confusion and panic, then raised her head again, looking straight into Edogawa Ranpo's eyes.

A weeping voice sounded in the young man's ear.

He heard the girl crying, and asked him helplessly, "What should I do?"

"I just realized that I can't remember what they look like!"

Even any memory before the age of 17 was so blurred that it frightened her.

Instinctively, the panic-stricken Miss Witch tightly grasped the corner of Mr. Detective's clothes, as if grabbing the last straw she could find.
