I paid too much for Feiwuluo

Monja, a Kanto specialty snack.

The batter mixed with chopped cabbage, meat and seafood was poured on the hot iron plate with a sizzling sound.

Alice was lying in front of the table, holding a small spatula in her hand, and at the same time as she felt herself being lifted back suddenly, a wide palm blocked her entire face.

"Didn't you see that sizzling oil? You'll be disfigured if you splash it on your face."

While Nakahara Chuya said threatening words, he hugged Alice away from the table, and Kunikida Doppo took advantage of the situation to take back the hand that was blocking the little girl.

Edogawa propped his chin in disorder, picked up a piece of malt candy from the snacks given by the store, and put it in his mouth.

Having seen through the nature of this counterproductive world, Ango Sakaguchi has recovered from the shame that no one invited him to follow, and looked down at the tea that the waiter just poured into his cup.

The bitter tea stalks floated up and down in the light green water, but none of them stood upright.

There is no erected tea stalk representing good luck.

Just as good luck did not patronize Ango Sakaguchi today.

He suppressed the urge to sigh, and with the help of the dense water vapor floating from the cup, he squinted at Nakahara Chuya who was sitting beside him, feeling numb in his heart.

This Monja shop is not big, mostly seats for four or two people, plus the big discounts for the opening welcome event, and it is noon of the holiday, when the group of people from Sakaguchi Ango entered the shop, there was nothing more. Spacious seating.

The four elders could only squeeze together side by side with Alice on a four-seater.

Of course, the two members of the Armed Detective Agency sat on the side with the same hatred, and the remaining Nakahara Nakahara and Sakaguchi Ango looked at each other with disgust. Fortunately, Nakahara Nakahara was smart enough. When he was about to sit down, he took Kunikida's clothes corner Ignoring Kunikida Doppo's condemning and angry eyes, Alice put the carefree little guy written all over her body between herself and Ango Sakaguchi, acting as a separation belt.

Fortunately, Alice was also obedient, and she didn't insist on sitting next to the teacher. She was being carried around by Zhongya Nakahara, as obediently as a puppy caught by its mother in the nape of the neck.After being put on the tatami, she kneels there and looks like a beautiful doll, or it can be said that she is a zashiki boy.

But all the above descriptions are limited to when she is peaceful and not moving much.

After being placed between him and Ango Sakaguchi by Chuya Nakahara, Alice stayed for a while, then she looked up and looked at the two adults sitting beside her—her gaze stayed on Ango Sakaguchi's face The time was longer than the time spent on Zhongye’s face in Zhongyuan——then sitting on his knees, like a little snail, he chrysalised himself bit by bit in the direction of Zhongye in Zhongyuan until It felt like I was next to a port mafia cadre before stopping.

She probably thinks that her movements are very small and very deceptive.But in fact, Zhou Fang Alice's actions seemed to the four adults around her as if sitting next to her were two completely different magnetic poles, and Ango Sakaguchi was obviously the one that made her repel each other.

And there are only two meanings to this move.

[-]. Compared with Ango Sakaguchi, Suho Alice prefers Nakahara Chuya.

[-]. Ango Sakaguchi, hated by Zhou Fang Alice.

Sakaguchi Ango: "..."

The first one compares him as a dignified national civil servant with the mafia who violates laws and disciplines all day long, and his personality is half as bad as the other party. This kind of thing Ango Sakaguchi really doesn't want to admit.

The second is to make Ango Sakaguchi an outlier among the group of people—among the four adults, Zhou Fang Alice only hates him. This is like having a cute child who is very close to everyone in the family, but she You are as depressing as you are angry and crying.

Neither meaning is very happy.

Sensing the doubtful gaze cast on him by Kunikida Doppo, a new member of Butei, Ango Sakaguchi seemed to be dumb after eating coptis, unable to speak out.

He really didn't understand when, where, and what he did to offend the little princess.

But fortunately, Ango Sakaguchi is an adult who can't express his emotions.

Compared to a human cub with everything written on its face, facing Alice Zhou's slight rejection, this mature social animal who has stepped into the social workplace and even occasionally confronts some vicious mafia organization bosses, at this moment He gave a cold look of "I don't care about it".

If Chuya Nakahara hadn't seen Ango Sakaguchi's outraged look 10 minutes ago, he would probably have been bluffed by this man.

If you love to pretend you don't care, just pretend.

Nakahara also took Alice who was next to him into his arms.This little guy is obviously not used to kneeling, and has been moving around trying to find a more comfortable sitting position.

Ranpo Edogawa took over the right to order food, saying it was AA, but the money for Ranpo came from Kunikida.His fingers flicked on the menu wantonly, until he came to the drink column, he stretched out his head from behind the menu and looked at Alice: "Little one, do you want a soda?"

Before Alice could reply, Kunikida stopped him first.

"Mr. Ranpo, it's better for children to drink less soda." Kunikida Doppo pushed down his glasses, and in the midst of Ranpo's loud complaint, "I don't want to let the adults who don't let you eat this or that don't let you eat it, it's the most disgusting." The 2 after the soda was changed to a 1.

All the nutritious lunches of Bingsheng Elementary School are pure milk, but Alice will give Fu Heihui her own milk every time.

Alice doesn't like plain milk.

So after ruling out the option of pure milk, Kunikida's eyes slid to the names of the freshly squeezed juices.

Alice would always go to the office to ask Kunikida for chocolate-filled biscuits and candies in the office.

And compared to lemon-flavored candies, she prefers milk candies that are less sour.

Kunikida thought about it, wavering between watermelon juice and strawberry juice, and finally decided on the latter for Alice.

March happens to be the natural fruiting period of strawberries, and watermelons are more or less out of season no matter how sweet they are.

However, after considering so much, it is still necessary to seek the opinions of the parties themselves.

The adult who was present, China Kida Doppo, was the one who spent the longest time with Alice.Usually staring at them for lunch, he even knew that Alice didn't like eating celery.

To be honest, Kunikida himself knows how shallow and naive this kind of winning and losing is, but at this moment, in the competition of "who is the person who knows Zhou Fang Alice best" here at this moment, all he has in mind is to win the championship plan.

——He has been Zhou Fang Alice's teacher for a full year. If he doesn't understand his students as well as these outsiders, wouldn't he be ashamed of his teaching career for this year?

"Alice, would you like some strawberry juice?"

Therefore, when asking questions, Kunikida Doppo has the confidence that he is sure of winning.

He thought Alice would nod and say yes.

However, contrary to expectations, the correct answer that best suits the child's preferences does not have so many twists and turns.

"Teacher, I want to drink strawberry milk." Alice threw herself on the table, stretched out a chubby finger, and ordered the strawberry milk on the back of the menu.

Kunikida suddenly lost face. Dupo: "Cough...Okay."

"Then strawberry milk."

——Strawberry milk and strawberry juice have the same word, which is not wrong.

People live a lifetime and have an open mind.He consoled himself.

Although the positions are not absolutely opposed, it is impossible for the assistant counselor of the supernatural secret service department, the cadres of the port mafia, and the core members of the armed detective agency to sit at the same table and chat happily.

At least based on the age and personality of these people, it is impossible.

During the time between ordering and waiting for the food to be served, the two young guys Edogawa Ranpo and Zhou Fang Alice calmly stayed out of the matter, and only the other three who had a clear stand were silent and embarrassed.

——So, why do you want to eat together?

Ango Sakaguchi held his forehead and leaned his elbows on the edge of the table.

He began to allow his attention to diverge—it can be diverted in any direction. In short, he had to find some place for his attention to settle down, so that he could successfully pass through this tormenting gap.

Sitting next to them is a table of students.

Wearing uniform khaki sportswear, seven people occupied the only eight-person table in the entire store.

"Yukimura's postoperative recovery is going well." One of them, a boy with his eyes closed but holding a notebook in his hand, lowered his head to check, "As long as he persists, the chances of participating in the Kanto competition in June It's 90.00%."

"And we Lihai! The probability of winning three consecutive championships this year is [-]%!!!" Following his words, a little black curly hair stood up excitedly on the tatami.

Although he is not very tall, but his arms are slender, he stepped on the tatami mat tens of centimeters above the ground, and his clenched fist logically hit the word burning shop with a sound of "boom!" low ceiling.

Little Curly: "..."

Tremblingly, he put down his reddened fist, and tremblingly looked at another boy with a black peaked cap on his head sitting opposite him.

The boy wearing the peaked cap was staring at him fiercely, and said sharply: "Qieyuan! Sit down!"

"Yes!"

"Apologies to everyone in the store who was disturbed by you!"

The boy who caused the trouble turned himself mechanically and bowed vigorously: "I'm sorry! I interrupted everyone's meal!"

"It's okay to be happy for Yukimura and Lihai, but you're so smug that you're so complacent—tomorrow you'll be training, and you'll be fined five more laps."

"Yes……"

"Pfft, Chiya, idiot."

"Speaking of which, Yukimura recovered so quickly, shouldn't we go to the shrine to make a wish?"

"Jack, do you, a Brazilian, even know this? So what do you want to do?"

"It seems that we just need to return the Omori to the shrine."

"I heard from my grandfather that it seems that you can also bring some wine and put it in the place where you worship at the shrine?"

"But we are not adults and can't buy bars..."

"Does God mind if we use Sprite instead of wine?"

"Pfft, Lord Shenming is so busy and still has time to mind this?"

"Who stipulated that alcohol must be required? What if the god likes to drink strawberry milk?"

"Oh, according to what you say, the god who blesses Yukimura may still like to eat cakes and ice cream——Bunta, it's time to let you down for everyone!"

"Wait why me?! Shouldn't everyone pay for this kind of thing?!"

The students yelled.

Just as Ango Sakaguchi couldn't help feeling youthful as a song, Alice, who was sitting in Nakahara's arms, suddenly sneezed three quite loudly.

"Ah sneeze!"

"Ah sneeze!"

"Ahh——!!"

"What? Have a cold?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also raised his hand to touch the back of her hairy head.

The little girl with a red face sniffed and shook her head purringly.

One thought, two scolding and three nagging.

Maybe someone was talking about her behind her back.

Alice puffed up her face angrily, and Zhong Yuanzhong also saw her fair and clean cheeks puff up like a white-faced steamed bun, and poked her with his hand.

The human cub's face full of collagen was as soft and springy as jellybean. Nakahara also pinched her face twice, only to realize after pinching that he didn't take off his gloves.

Gee.

Now that he deliberately took off the gloves to move her, wouldn't it be like a strange brother...

In order to keep his own image, Zhongyuan Zhong also gave up this plan.Instead, Edogawa Ranpo, who was sitting opposite, got a chance to reach out to Alice: "Come here and give me a squeeze!"

"Mr. Ranpo!" Kunikida Doppo wanted to stop him.

"It doesn't matter, just pinch it a few times! She's not made of sugar." Edogawa Ranpo said, "And she didn't even refuse!"

Alice really didn't mind being pinched in the face, anyway, as long as it didn't make her uncomfortable, she wouldn't even mind rubbing her head in hands.

Out of the teacher's reserve, Kunikida did not participate in this face-pinching activity.

And with the same regret as him is the hated Ango Sakaguchi.

When you are stressed at work or in a bad mood, hugging a doll and rubbing it around can relieve stress. Although human cubs cannot be treated roughly, the cute light waves released at the same time are also very healing.

Anyway, Zhongyuan Zhong also felt that the exhaustion from his recent work of flying around in the sky, picking up people and swinging them out was eliminated.

The wait time for the food was a bit long.

Zhong Yuanzhong also glanced at the time, and frowned: "Why is it so slow?"

"Chuya, are you in a hurry?" Alice looked up at him.

"Well," he looked up at the other three who were looking at him, "I still have work in the afternoon."

Alice said "Oh" and asked, "What kind of work does Zhong also do?"

"Uh..." He scratched his face, "It's hard to say. I said the boss would deduct my salary."

You can't tell her that you are a mafia.

Although Alice may not know what the Mafia is at this age, it is always right to let her know less about it.

Alice once chased her old father, the Red King, who didn't have to work, and asked for a week "why can you stay at home and not go to work", but in general, she still understands the difference between closeness and distance.

Some questions can be asked non-stop after Zun, but if it is someone other than Zun, it may not work.

This simple cognition made Alice stop holding on to Zhongyuan Zhong: "Then work hard."

Seeing that she was so easy to dismiss, Zhong Yuanzhong also rubbed her head again: "You should also study hard and study hard."

Even in front of the teacher, Alice didn't like to hear that.

Her little face immediately collapsed, and she muttered and complained: "No... I don't want to get up early to go to school every day, I want to be a puppy..."

"If it wasn't too troublesome to be a puppy... I would have been a puppy..."

Her voice became weaker as she went to the back, but she could still hear clearly in Zhongyuan who was holding Alice in his arms.

Hearing what she said so earnestly, Zhong Yuanzhong only thought that this child was really interesting.

"It's the same as what you said." He snorted on her head again, "Then I still want to be a kitten. I sleep all day and don't have to work."

"It's good to be a kitten." Alice agreed with Nakahara Chuya's idea, and began to talk childishly, "If I raise a kitten in the future, I will name it Zhongya. In this way, "Zhongya" You can be a kitten without work."

"Then I really appreciate you."

Apart from eating ice cream and Daifuku, Alice has always been slow when it comes to eating.

Hatta once suggested to Kusanagi that the reason Alice eats so slowly must be because no one is competing with her.

Children have to scramble to eat to feel that the food is delicious.

Kusanagi thinks what he said is not unreasonable, but when eating at home, Alice and Anna’s meals are prepared in advance according to the recipes, not only do not have to worry about competition, but also make Kusanagi worry about whether she obediently put away the food she doesn’t like. Blue flowers or celery sneak into the trash.

However, Alice doesn't have to fight for this kind of dinner party.

After all, besides the same age, who else would grab food from a child like her?

Everyone here is responsible for feeding her—including Anna, who is also young.

Monjayaki Alice with shrimp and minced pork tasted delicious, her mouth was shiny and her face was flushed.

What a healthy little pig.

Nakahara Chuya didn't eat much by himself, and while holding his face, he used a shovel to cut another piece of hot monjayaki for Alice and put it on the plate in front of her.

The students at the table next to them had already left with their bags.

There were also a lot fewer people entering the store than before, so when the two opened the sea-blue curtain at the door and walked in side by side, Zhong Yuan saw them at a glance.

The one with the bald head is called Tantian Shantouhuo.

The one with white hair is Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Zhong Yuanzhong also picked up the hat that was put aside, and put it on the top of his head, his cobalt blue eyes were darkened by the shadows that were blocked.

"Hey, Sakaguchi. How's it going? Is the monjayaki here delicious?"

Ango Sakaguchi stood up quickly: "Mr. Taneda."

"Random steps."

Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had his hands in Chitose's green sleeves, was accustomed to quickly walk around the semi-enclosed space the moment he walked in the door, and quickly found his child.

"I don't even want to come, President, you are too worried." Luanbu held a small shovel of burning words in his mouth, "Mr. Hat is still very kind, let alone there are children around, he will not be careless." Let's use force."

If one minute ago, the situation at this dinner table was still very friendly to Zhongyuan Zhongye (after all, he was the best fighter among these people), then after joining the commander of the Supernatural Secret Service Division and the club of the Armed Detective Agency After a long time, the situation has been greatly reversed.

Although it can't be said that it is not good for Zhongyuan Zhongye, but in this case, it is difficult for him to sit calmly like before.

He picked up his coat, but before Zhongyuan Zhong also stood up, he put a hand on his shoulder.

"Mr. Zhongye, are you full now?" The black-haired man in a long white coat had a calm smile on his face, and a pretty girl with blond hair and a red dress stood behind him.

"Boss..."

Nakahara was also a little surprised that Mori Ogai would appear here.

It just so happened that the clerk saw that the number of customers in the store was decreasing, and brought three chairs to add to the dining table that could only accommodate four people.

Mori Ogai was the first to take a seat. He picked up the menu on the table, and You Qi casually explained to whomever he wanted to cover it up: "Little Alice has been pestering me that she wants to eat monjayaki, and she came in just passing by."

"I didn't expect to meet Chief Farmer and Your Excellency Fukuzawa here." The smile on Mori Ogai's face was like a perfectly fitted mask, "What a coincidence."

Even Doppo Kunikida, who was the most straightforward and honest, could hear that there was no truth in this sentence.

In all likelihood, this person saw the president and the commander of the farming side by side, and followed them all the way here.

Recalling how things developed to the current situation, Ango Sakaguchi also felt very psychedelic.

It is impossible to sit at the same table with the leader/elder/BOSS, even in this life.

Giving Ango Sakaguchi this kind of power, he also felt that he was incapable of enduring it.

And with the same idea as him, there are Kunikida Doppo and Nakahara Chuya who has been fighting with him since before.

The three of them stepped back from the table very consciously and stood behind their respective leaders.

As for the people and non-humans left on the table, apart from the three most powerful organization leaders in Yokohama, there are only three carefree "children" left.

Edogawa looked at each other at random, and between the two disgusted Alices, there was Suho Alice holding a strawberry milk cup, flashing those big blue eyes—she was obviously the one who caused all this, The innocent appearance that is completely out of the situation, and even has a lot of fun playing with the other Alice next to him.

Edogawa was so angry that he dragged Zhou Fang Alice's stool towards him, and stopped him sharply: "Alice! Don't play with her! She is a bad boy!"

"Who are you calling a bad boy! You're the bad boy! Your whole family are bad boys—Ariel! He's so stupid! He can't even turn a rope! Playing with a fool will make you even stupider! Play with me! "

"I can learn it if I can't! Is there anything my real detective can't learn if I want to learn it!"

"..."

Sakaguchi Ango just wanted to confess at this moment.

He was wrong.He was really wrong.He was wrong from the start.

If he hadn't become bored with work today, he wouldn't have taken this shitty job for himself, and if he didn't take this shitty job for himself, he wouldn't have fallen into the situation in front of him that not only makes people sad but also hurts their stomachs .

"Don't involve the Red King's daughter in the matter between us." Taneda Shantou opened the folding fan in his hand, smiled and looked at Zhou Fang Alice who was sitting beside him, "The child is innocent."

"Of course the child is innocent, and I agree with that very much." Mori Ogai folded his fingers and said in a leisurely tone, "But isn't it your subordinate who took the initiative to contact this child now? Mr. Tanada."

"Our Supernatural Secret Service Division has the responsibility to 'manage' all supernatural powers. Although 'Wang' is not included, it is also a special taxpayer group. As civil servants, it is only natural for us to provide corresponding services for taxpayers. matter."

"Oh," Mori Ogai smiled, "Does the corresponding service mean taking care of children? If you are free, can you help me take care of our little Alice?"

"Of course. But the premise is that it's a real child, not this kind of—" Taneda Shantou glanced at the blonde Alice in red dress pointingly, and the little girl almost frowned when he saw him like this.

Realizing that she was not liked, Sen Alice was even angrier.She stood up directly on the tatami, and grabbed Alice's cushion, trying to drag her to her side.

"It is said that your evil dog disappeared in Zhenmu Town for three months, and set foot on the territory of the 'King' at will. We are also qualified to apply for a strict investigation."

"What you said is really unreasonable. Our port mafia has always been alone and fought alone. Of course, we did all this just to survive." Mori Ogai sneered, "Otherwise, you think, who would be willing to deal with that kind of monster ?”

At the dining table, the adults were fighting with each other.

Under the dining table, the children almost fell into a fight.

Edogawa Ranpo found that Alice was being dragged away, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

He immediately grabbed the side of Alice's cushion, and shouted at Sen Alice: "You let go!"

"The one who should let go is you!"

And the party they fought over, little friend Zhou Fang Alice, dangled on the cushion like a duangduang pudding.

"Doctor Mori," Fukuzawa Yukichi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Be careful."

"Oh, did I say something wrong? Your Excellency Fukuzawa." Mori Ogai kept smiling.

"No..." Fukuzawa Yukichi kept a straight face, his eyes fell behind Mori Ogai, and he quickly looked back.

Mori Ogai was stunned for a moment, then turned around, just in time to see the door curtain being lifted from the outside.

A man in black with fiery red hair walked into the store.

And with his appearance, the rustling conversations in the shop suddenly disappeared into the air.

It's not so much that his eyes are looking, it's better to say that he is looking for something.

After turning around a little bit, the red-haired man's eyes stopped on Mori Ogai's table—more precisely, he stopped at the table that was about to be torn apart by Edogawa Ranpo and Mori Alice. Half, Zhou Fang Alice's body.

"What are you doing?" With a terrifying sense of oppression, the man walked up to them, looking at the little girl with black hair and blue eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Respect!" Alice, who was still enjoying herself being scrambled by two people, immediately shook off the two hands that were holding her, and rushed towards the red-haired man.

"Ah."

"How did you come?"

"I'm here to do some shopping."

"Is there anything you want to buy in Yokohama? Isn't there anything in Tokyo?"

"...To save face for you, you'd better not ask so many questions."

"? What face did you save me?"

"Who was crying on the way here—"

"what--!!!"

"Look, I said you, you still have to—"

"what--!!!"

"Tsk...stop barking." The man stretched out his hand towards her, "Come here, go home."

"Okay... Oh that's right!" Putting her hand into the man's dry and warm palm, Alice remembered something and turned around.

There are too many people behind.

Alice was a little too lazy to call out one by one, so she waved her hand and said to them, "Goodbye, brothers and uncles! Goodbye, sister!"

"Goodbye."

"Take care."

"Come back to Yokohama when you have time and let Chuya-kun take you to play."

"Can I go now?"

"Ok!"

The man is tall.

Zhou Fang Alice is short.

One big and one small disappeared behind the door.

Once again, the Word Burning Shop fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, the big shots who maintained the Yokohama Three-Quarter concept left with their subordinates.

After walking a few hundred meters away from the Monja Yaki shop and diverting Nakahara Chuya away, Mori Ogai, who had been sullen all the way, finally asked Alice beside him:

"Little Alice."

"Ok?"

"Was my voice loud just now?"

"what sound?"

"It's the sound of talking in the shop."

"Oh, isn't it the voice of you speaking ill of the Scarlet King?" Alice Sen wrinkled her nose.

"Rintaro, coward!"
