Boss, do you have a card?

Oda Sakunosuke's return was shorter than expected.

"Sorry, did you wait long?"

The slightly panting young man stepped into the pharmacy, and as soon as he stood firm, he was handed a glass of water.

"Please use." Shelley held the cup in both hands, smiling.

He froze for a moment, then took it subconsciously: "Ah, thank you."

The store manager smiled and said to Sakunosuke Oda: "We were talking just now that you will come back running, so Shelley prepared water for you in advance."

Shelley quickly corrected: "No, no, I'm only responsible for delivering water, and Mr. Sakata does the rest."

"But if you don't say it, I wouldn't have thought of it. I'm a big man, how can there be a girl with a meticulous mind." The store manager became more cheerful, and led the conversation to Oda Sakunosuke, "You say so, Oda ?”

Oda Sakunosuke, who had just finished drinking the water, looked up blankly.

Shelley stepped on the ground embarrassingly: "Mr. Sakata!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." The store manager didn't smile, but waved his hands, obviously in a good mood, "Hey, I'm getting old, and it's easy to say the wrong thing when chatting with young people."

Shelley frowned: "Are you blaming me for being coquettish?"

The store manager opened his eyes wide and pretended that "you have discovered this": "Hey, I didn't say that, you said it yourself!"

"You bully people!"

"Haha, Oda, judge me, why does this girl look like a child?"

It's amazing.

Oda Sakunosuke sincerely sighed.

How long was he gone, 10 minutes?

I glanced at the clock hanging in the store, it was only 7 minutes.

The store manager Sakata is indeed kind, but in Oda Sakunosuke's impression, the other party is rarely as naughty as he is now. In just 7 minutes, the two chatted as if they had known each other for seven years.

Seeing the sweet smile on Shelley's face, Oda Sakunosuke lost his mind inexplicably.

This ability seems to have only been seen in Dazai.

...But, it must be different.

After saying his final farewell to Manager Sakata, Oda Sakunosuke and Shelley walked out of the pharmacy together.

For some reason, the weather is extraordinarily cold tonight.

Oda Sakunosuke tilted his head sideways.

The woman next to her is tall, only half a head shorter than him, far exceeding the average height of island girls, and her clothes are more mature, but this does not mean that she is not suitable for being cute, at least when talking to the store manager just now, Oda Sakunosuke I think she's cute.

"Mr. Oda?"

Shelley, who noticed the gaze, looked back.

Oda Sakunosuke moved his eyes to her thin shoulders, took off his coat and handed it over: "If you don't mind, please use it."

Shelley didn't accept it right away, she stared at him for a few seconds with an unclear expression.

At this moment, Oda Sakunosuke was sensitive to the changes that were different from before, but he couldn't tell them apart quickly.

"Sure enough, you are a good person." The other party calmed down, smiled lightly, and then rejected his kindness, "It's cold tonight, Mr. Oda doesn't wear much, please don't mind me, the low temperature environment will make you I feel more secure."

If it were someone else, they would definitely find this reason very weird, but Oda Sakunosuke usually heard too many excuses from Dazai, and the level of weirdness far exceeded this one, so he didn't think there was anything wrong for a while, it was ordinary accepted this statement.

When the young man put on his coat again, Shelley started a new topic.

"Mr. Oda is a member of the Armed Detective Agency?"

"Yes."

"What do detective agencies usually do?"

"It's mainly to help deal with some cases that cannot be handled by the government, and also accept some ordinary commissions."

"Sounds amazing."

"No, I'm just doing some hands-on work. I'm not good at reasoning. Please leave the brain part to others."

"But it's not easy to join such an organization. Mr. Oda, please don't underestimate yourself."

Oda Sakunosuke can't say that he was dragged by Dazai to submit the cover letter together... To be precise, it was Dazai who first proposed to join the Armed Detective Agency, and he did not want to help the special agent class because he hadn't found a job for the time being. While continuing to do white jobs, he still had to save for the children's living and education expenses, so he agreed without hesitation, and then passed the entrance examination in a daze.

However, although the beginning and the process were a bit messy, so far, he is very glad that he agreed to Dazai's invitation at that time.

Oda Sakunosuke briefly recalled the past, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Shelley's praise had not stopped.

"Are there good people like Oda-san in the detective agency? It feels more reassuring than the police."

"If you encounter any trouble, you can come to the detective agency for help, or you can come to me directly."

After thinking about it, Oda Sakunosuke added, "Actually, the police are also very reassuring. In an emergency, you should remember to call the police."

For some reason, this sentence, which he didn't notice the fault at all, suddenly made the other party laugh.

"Yeah, I know, just like Oda-san today~"

After finishing speaking, Shelley changed the subject and asked curiously, "By the way, I heard rumors that armed detective agencies are all people with special abilities. Is this true?"

"It's true, but there are not many people with supernatural powers."

Although it seems like an urban legend to ordinary people, it is actually not a secret. Most people around the detective agency know that there is no need for Oda Sakunosuke to hide it.

"Hey, is Oda-san too?"

"Yes."

"Really?! Can I ask what the ability is—ah, sorry, if you can't say it, please ignore my question."

Oda Sakunosuke said honestly: "It's not impossible, I..."

A finger was raised before his lips.

"Mr. Oda is easy to trust others. Has no one told you that the more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy she is, etc.?" The other party stopped his next words with a smile.

"what……?"

However, Shelley no longer intends to continue this topic, and he jumped back briskly and said, "Okay~ Just send it here, my place is nearby."

In fact, they didn't go very far, probably because they didn't want the man they just met to know where they lived.

Oda Sakunosuke nodded understandingly: "Okay, please be careful on the way back."

Shelley trotted away for a certain distance, turned around and waved to him on the way: "Mr. Oda, see you tomorrow~"

See you tomorrow……?

Oda Sakunosuke was at a loss, and before he had time to ask, he saw the other party lightly turning into a building and disappearing from his back.

It wasn't until the young man with red hair came out of sight that the White House came out from behind the building in September.

In the past four years, Sakunosuke was still such an angel, as expected of a healing department. After staying with him for so long, he almost forgot that he had to deal with Fyodor's black mud when he went back.

Ah, forget it.

There are no difficult jobs, only brave workers!

The White House in September boldly embarked on the road back to the Devil's Lair. Of course, she would not bring Oda Sakunosuke near Fyodor's safe house, so the return journey took some time.

In fact, it can be very fast, but the White House is deliberately dawdling in September. After all, the contractor obviously wants to do something else. Wouldn't it seem unreasonable for her to go back too soon.

……

The two little snowmen who were making a snowman on the bedside table suddenly jumped up excitedly, like puppies who smelled their master's scent, and rushed to the door impatiently.

Fyodor opened his eyes, and soon, he heard the sound of the door opening.

After a while, the sound of footsteps stopped beside the bed.

"Fei Jia~" The woman lowered her head, her cheeks getting closer and closer to him.

Fyodor seemed delirious: "... Shelley?"

Shelley reached out and poked his hot forehead: "I bought the medicine back, can I get up and take it by myself?"

The young man's eyes seemed to be unable to find a place to settle, and he closed his eyes after a long pause.

White House September: ... Is this sick and stupid?

Fyodor closed his eyes for a few seconds, then slowly opened them again. He straightened up without saying a word, took out the medicine from the medicine bag, identified it briefly, and swallowed it with water.

After taking the medicine, I started to be in a daze again.

It seems really sick and stupid.

Not to mention, this silly appearance is much more lovable than when he is sober.

The White House held up a finger in September and waved it in front of Fyodor.

Fyodor turned his head, the top of his head curled up in a mess, and then sighed, his breath was also hot.

"Shelley, are you having fun?"

It seems to wake up.

Shelley put on a regretful expression, without any guilt about abandoning the sick contractor and going out to play by himself: "It's not bad, I met a good man~ If I didn't already have Fei Jia, I would probably consider changing the contractor. "

"Really." Fyodor rarely expresses his thoughts. The fact is that he is really unwell now, and his brain's shrewdness has plummeted.

In fact, he could have asked his subordinates to deliver the medicine when he contacted them earlier, but he didn't do so.

Shelley moved closer, leaning against Fyodor with a blank face, and continued to harass the patient.

"Aren't you asking who that person is?"

"If Shelley will say so."

She bent her eyes: "I don't want to."

Fyodor opened his lips, but the sudden itching in his throat made him cough uncontrollably, his body trembled, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say in time.

Two little snowmen dutifully held up the teacups and sent them over.

"It's so pitiful." Shelley interrupted the topic considerately, "Take a good rest, human beings are very fragile, if you die because of such a boring thing, I will be very distressed."

As she spoke, she changed from sitting sideways on the edge of the bed to getting up, "Leave these two children to you for the time being, please be gentle with them."

The effect of the medicine gradually began to take effect, Fyodor simply closed his eyes, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, so there is no need to stay here.

After closing his eyes for less than 2 minutes, his cheek was poked again, and he opened it helplessly.

"Fei Jia, give me some money."

The other party asked for it of course.

Money was a small matter, but Fyodor remembered it clearly.

"Did the card I gave you before disappear?" He asked tactfully.

The amount of that card can basically buy everything that Shelley is currently interested in - especially clothing, accessories and cosmetics.

"I want cash." Shelley tilted her chin and tilted her head, looking happy, as if she was in a relationship, "I bought your medicine with someone else's money, so you have to return it properly~"

borrow money?Want to pay back?

Thinking of Shelley's bills reported to him by his subordinates from time to time, and thinking of the phrase "I met a good man" that Shelley said when he entered the door, the contractor who provided the credit card for free fell silent.

"In that case, perhaps it would be better for me to thank that gentleman myself," Fyodor said with pretended friendliness.

Shelley's smile deepened: "Fei Jia, are you jealous?"

"The word jealousy is mostly used in intimate relationships between men and women. You and I probably haven't reached this level yet." Fyodor explained clearly, his eyes were clear, and he had unknowingly escaped from a serious illness.

It's back to being uncute.

That's what the eyes of the ghost in front of him said.

Shelley lost interest and walked away from him: "Forget it, you talk a lot."

While talking, he took out his wallet from his coat pocket.

Fyodor: "..."

This "nice man" doesn't seem to be as simple as he thought.
