Don't compete with fairy tale vests

"Nakajima and Miyazawa?"

Seeing the figures of the two boys, Kunikida Doppo called the names of the two boys out of composure, with surprise in his tone.

He was just mentally prepared to rescue the two, but now he saw the two children from the detective agency come back intact. He was relieved and surprised, especially when he saw the two children from the detective agency come back intact. People also work together to move something.

"Wait, who is this?"

When the yellow-haired young man stepped forward, Kunikida Doppo discovered that the object being carried by two members was a person, a young girl with fiery red hair. This discovery made the young man push upward in disbelief. Pushing the glasses, I even suspected that there was something wrong with my eyes.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Kunikida Doppo's expression immediately became serious, abducting a little girl casually, this is a major issue of principle.

The look in his eyes scared the little tiger to his knees, and he stood up straight like a student who was reprimanded by the dean for making mistakes.

"Uh...this..."

The plot is a bit complicated, and Atsushi Nakajima hesitated to say anything, which made Kunikida Doppo look at him more dangerously.

"It's a souvenir brought back on the road!"

After discovering that Nakajima Atsushi didn't answer Kunikida Doppo's question, the boy wearing a straw hat immediately picked up the topic.

He didn't notice Atsushi Nakajima's increasingly terrified eyes and Doppo Kunikida's darker and darker expression at all, but happily answered the question of the man with yellow hair, as if Kenji Miyazawa was really sincere. I think I bought some souvenirs for everyone in the detective agency.

"Miyazawa, can you explain why this is a 'souvenir'?"

Before Kunikida Doppo was about to break the pen in his hand, the yellow-haired young man took a deep breath and managed to stabilize his emotions. Thinking that the young man's thoughts in front of him were somewhat different from ordinary people, he decided to listen again. Listen to Miyazawa Kenji's explanation.

"Is it a souvenir?"

This time it was Kenji Miyazawa's turn to be puzzled, and the youth who was always full of energy showed a confused look.

"It's a new word I just learned before, but what I met on the trip and brought back to share with everyone, this is how people in the city should define souvenirs."

The boy in the straw hat racked his brains to think of the words to explain, but after listening to his words, Kunikida Doppo seemed much more relaxed than before.

The yellow-haired man squeezed the space between his brows tiredly, the livid color on his face had finally subsided a bit.

But soon, the young man's expression became serious again.

"Who is she? What's going on?"

Atsushi Nakajima can answer this question well.

The white-haired boy hurriedly told everyone in the Armed Detective Agency what happened when he and Kenji Miyazawa went to buy disposable forks.

After listening to the little tiger's narration completely, the members of the Armed Detective Agency showed some seriousness on their faces, and Fukuzawa Yukichi's lips were tightly pressed into a slit. The people present looked at the red-haired The foreign girl's expression is also a little wary.

"Wait, Nakajima, you just said that you and Kenji Miyazawa were locked in the same room by her supernatural power. How did you escape safely and bring so many people with you?"

Akiko Yosano discovered something that was not mentioned in Atsushi Nakajima's words, and asked curiously.

"Ah, this..."

When asked about this matter, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly showed some excitement on his face, as if he had discovered some incredible new continent. The nervousness and lingering fear on the little tiger's face just now were precisely because of this Discovered and swept away.

"It's because of this!"

Atsushi Nakajima took out a small glass bottle from his clothes.

It was a small glass bottle tied with a red string, just like those decorative glass bottles often seen in tourist places that would contain some small handicrafts.

The inside of the glass bottle seemed to be filled with some small things, but because of the missing cork, only half of the contents remained.

The remaining half bottle of gravel was excitedly displayed by Atsushi Nakajima in front of everyone in the Armed Detective Agency. This gift from Grau Graman was played just now in the fight with Lucy Montgomery, a member of the "combination". Played the role of lifting weights lightly.

Even if these sands have left the owner's side, they are still exerting their own abilities well.

Not long after the red-haired girl pulled Nakajima Atsushi and Miyazawa Kenji closer to her room, the white-haired girl accidentally dropped the sand bottle painting that Grau Graman gave him while avoiding the ability of the supernatural power Annie. on the ground.

Those fine sands had been drawn out of the glass bottle, and immediately began to make Lucy's supernatural powers be swallowed and assimilated into new sands.

"I see, Lord Ranpo already understands, so let's forgive that guy a little this time."

After listening to Atsushi Nakajima's somewhat confused description because of his excitement and excitement, Edogawa ranpo narrowed his eyes, pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said something inexplicably, but after he finished the sentence , Graugramman, who was acting with Paul Hesse, sneezed.

At this moment, Lucy Montgomery, who was still unconscious on the sofa because of Graugramman's technique, suddenly made some movements.

After all, Graugramman's technique is aimed at emotions, and it is considered a special attack for conjurers and spell spirits, but for young supernatural beings like Lucy Montgomery who don't have a lot of negative emotions, it is relatively It doesn't have that much effect anymore.

When Lucy Montgomery opened her eyes, she was taken aback by the one yellow and one white and a black and white head that came together. Seeing her open her eyes, the white-haired boy seemed startled too, but The child who seemed to be the youngest didn't respond to her angry look at all, but moved closer and closer.

"stay away from me!"

The girl with fiery red braids scolded.

The anger in her voice was suppressed. After waking up, Lucy Montgomery realized that she was no longer on the street before. Seeing a group of people around her, she knew that she was absolutely outnumbered. Stay alert.

All of this shouldn't have happened like this, Lucy stared at the white-haired boy who looked a little timid in front of her, thinking through gritted teeth.

She should have already grasped the absolute advantage and initiative, but she was unexpectedly defeated by something that was not mentioned even in the intelligence analysis of Miss Secretary, the leader of the group.

Lucy Montgomery still has no idea what the bottle that fell out of Atsushi Nakajima's pocket made Lucy Montgomery very upset. She knew that she had to find a way to leave the Armed Detective Agency safely and tell her leader Ferrand the news Cisco Fitzgerald.

Although her own abilities have probably been figured out by the enemy, the "combination" may no longer need her.

Thinking of this, the fiery red-haired girl couldn't help showing some sad emotions. She had such a low desire to be recognized by the group before, and put in so much effort, but after this defeat, it will all come to naught.

"Are you ok?"

Montgomery saw the teenagers around her being gently pushed away by brown palms, and a strange breath stopped beside her, and then someone stretched out a hand to her, as if thinking of wanting to pat her head.

was dodged.

The ghost fire spirit, or Kurikawa Soru's involuntarily stretched hand was quickly dodged by the red-haired girl from the group, and she also got a hostile look.

Kurikawa Soryu couldn't help feeling sympathetic to the low mood of the little girl who was supposed to be the enemy just now, and he couldn't help subconsciously using the method he used to comfort his sister before.

After realizing that he was rejected by the little hedgehog-like girl, Kurikawa Soryu sighed softly in his mind, but at the same time as some kind ridicules from the old man Roaming Mountain sounded, there seemed to be another sound that Kurikawa Soryu seemed familiar with. , The girl hummed angrily.

This familiar voice was so familiar that Kurikawa Soryu couldn't help following the voice, but after holding his breath and concentrating on it, he couldn't hear the voice again.

Kurikawa Soryu could only attribute this to his own delusion. After all, when he asked the old man Roaming Mountain, the system also seemed unaware.

"So you captured the enemy's prisoners?"

The black-haired young man rushed over with great interest, as if wanting to help.

There was a benign smile on his face, but that smile seemed devilish to Montgomery after his next words.

"Need an interrogation?"

Osamu Dazai said it in a very playful tone, as if what he was proposing was not some terrible move but a cake for a terrified girl.

"Dazai-kun," the young man with skinned skin showed a look of disapproval at Dazai Zhi, "Since you are a new member of the Glorious Survival Rescue Society, let's solve the problem in the way of a brave man, isn't it embarrassing the little girl like this? He will become a great hero."

Seeing that Osamu Dazai retreated to the side of the red-haired young man boredly, the brave man with a particularly long name stepped forward, trying to communicate with Montgomery.

In the Armed Detective Agency, the ghost fire spirit is recognized by the members as a person who is very good at communicating with children. No one has any objection to him communicating with this girl from the group.

"This lovely lady, can you tell me your name?"

The will-o'-the-wisp slightly squatted down, was at eye level with Montgomery, and asked in a calm voice.

This way of speaking seemed to make the fiery red-haired girl a little uncomfortable. The girl sat up straight suddenly, looking extremely tense.

I am in the local base camp, and my every move may affect others' overall judgment on the group. Lucy Montgomery deeply understands this.

She didn't want the group to be underestimated by others, so she could only force herself not to show timidity under such pressure.

But after all, she is just an underage child. Even if she has supernatural powers, she can see a slightly wider world than her peers, but these are not enough to see in the world of adults.

Montgomery couldn't help but grabbed her skirt tightly, and the fabric was crumpled under her hands, but she still kept a fierce look and looked at the people of the Armed Detective Agency.

"Who are you?"

The fiery red-haired girl questioned loudly, but her body trembled involuntarily, and anyone with a discerning eye could see her sternness.

Speaking of this, the wisps of fire won't be sleepy in an instant, and they are about to start their signature moves with great interest on the spot, but seeing the little girl's stubborn eyes and the unwilling expression that seems to be about to cry, the brave man with a particularly bad name still forcibly He suppressed his next move.

But after finally stopping her movements against her instinct, Lucy Montgomery's next words almost hit a brave man with a particularly long name so that she couldn't even hold her sword steady.

"What are you talking about?" The fiery red-haired girl seemed to be very dissatisfied with the sudden interruption of the Will-o'-the-wisp's speech just now but the content was still very long, and she even forgot her own situation.

Montgomery was indeed a little angry at this young man who inexplicably ran to him and said inexplicably and twice off the list.

The venomous tongue attribute that was unexpectedly displayed at this time made her less nervous than before, and the desire to complain about the ghost fire spirit overwhelmed her anxiety.

"Really, wearing such a strange cloak, and wearing a strange sword that looks like a prehistoric scrap iron that was snapped up at a discount on a junkyard sale day, with a name so long that even the old woman Martha can't remember, but what does she call herself? The bravest man in the universe."

The girl paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and managed to catch her breath after saying such a long series of words. After coughing, she looked at the silver-haired young man who had obviously been beaten to pieces in front of her, and was extremely calm. dealt a fatal blow.

"It's basically the late stage of the Second Secondary Disease when the scale is overstated."

The fiery red-haired girl had a cute appearance, but she quickly knocked out an important enemy standing force in just a few words, and her words were so powerful that even Kunikida Doppo, who was always considered to be harsh, could not I was dumbfounded.

The yellow-haired young man quickly took out his notepad to write and draw, and seemed to have the idea of ​​wanting to worship the red-haired girl as his teacher on the spot.

"..."

If the Will-o'-the-wisp had the color-changing ability like Graugramman, he would probably have become black and white very intuitively, and would probably have the thickness of a paper man in comics, floating in the wind.

Standing by the window, Yosano Akiko closed the window for some reason. Probably the female doctor also felt that the brave man with a particularly long name was so fragile that he could be blown away by the wind at this moment.

"..."

After speaking so many words in one breath, Lucy Montgomery also regained her composure. She felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, but when she spoke, she could only sit with her eyes on her nose, her nose, her nose, her nose and her heart.

In fact, she already regretted it when she finished saying these words, but the previous frustration and the experience of being watched by so many people made this poor girl's nerves tense to the extreme, and Montgomery couldn't restrain herself from diverting others. own anger.

The experience in the orphanage made this girl very eager to feel cared for. She could feel that the ghost fire spirit had no malice in reaching out to her just now, but some bad experiences before made her quickly avoid it.

"Okay," the president of the Armed Detective Agency Yukichi Fukuzawa, the silver-haired swordsman in kimono, said to the girl calmly, "Let's have a good talk. "

After the conversation between Ranpo Edogawa and Yukichi Fukuzawa, Montgomery became a prisoner of the Armed Detective Agency, and the team didn't seem to have any intention of coming to rescue the girl.

This made the fiery red-haired girl sad for several days, and became even more hostile towards Atsushi Nakajima and Kenji Miyazawa.

Although she was a prisoner, the Armed Detective Agency didn't really do anything to this little girl. Lucy Montgomery herself was an apprentice of the combination, and now she looked like she was abandoned by the combination. Fukuzawa Yukichi only restricted her from Let her leave the sight of the detective agency members at will.

But Montgomery was unwilling to enjoy the benefits of the Armed Detective Agency for no reason, so she must help with something, which was her last bottom line.

For such a request, Fukuzawa Yukichi had no reason to object, so he let the girl district help sort out some unimportant old materials.

"careful!"

When the ghost fire spirit went upstairs with a bag of cakes, he happened to see the girl wearing a white apron kindly sponsored by the president's secretary, standing on a chair and cleaning the dust on the windows.

It's just that the stool the girl chose was not very stable. Although Montgomery was much better than ordinary people with the blessing of supernatural powers, the girl's figure was still a little precarious.

The brave man saw it, and immediately rushed forward to help the red-haired girl hold the stool.

"Why are you cleaning the glass here alone, Lucy? I think this is a project that Don is in charge of?"

"Mind your own business."

The red-haired girl turned her head awkwardly.

But only she knew that she really almost fell just now, but the words of thanks came to her lips, but they turned into such words, which made the girl's a little irritable mood from just now even more gloomy.

"Did you see Don?"

This kind of work still has to be handed over to Atsushi Nakajima, who is taller and more flexible than the pigeons. It is impossible for the ghost fire spirit to let the girls insist on cleaning the glass.

"What do you want him to do? I can obviously do this by myself."

The girl's words were a little uneasy, and between the lines was her stubbornness that she was able to complete this task alone, but she still occasionally showed some jealousy towards the white-haired boy inadvertently.

Montgomery was very reluctant to let the silver-haired young man call Atsushi Nakajima, for whom she had a strong and special feeling.

They have similar origins and early experiences, and now their lives are very different.

Montgomery didn't complain about the "combination", because the combination gave her a place to stay, so that she would not go back to the orphanage, but Atsushi Nakajima, who was also an orphan, got help from a kind bar owner. Contacted the Armed Detective Agency.

Montgomery saw the sincere care and protection of Atsushi Nakajima from the members of the Armed Detective Agency, and she couldn't help being jealous.

It was also for this reason that she wanted to clean her belly. Maybe she didn't even realize that she was hoping to make others think that she could do a better job than Atsushi Nakajima.

When a few words with personal emotions blurted out one after another, Montgomery paused when he saw the expression of the brown-skinned young man of foreign race opposite him, looking a little surprised.

She thought that the ghost fire spirit had some remonstrance words to say to herself, just like those teachers and annoying children who always laughed at her overreaching in the orphanage, but the words of the silver-haired young man made her stunned .

"That's a great idea, Lucy!"

Such straightforward compliments are rarely received by Montgomery, and the compliments from the Will-o’-the-wisps are even more cherished and rare. This is rare. It is not aimed at her supernatural powers, but only for her own thoughts and actions. .

"Don't you think it's ridiculous for me to act like this? Obviously, I almost fell off the top just now. If you say this just to please me, then there's no need for it."

Her heart was happy because of such words, but the life in the orphanage made Montgomery always have a behavioral barrier in her heart, isolating her from other people. Her subconscious was excited because of such praise, but her reason was no longer Willing to believe.

"No way! A brave man wouldn't do such a shameless thing, okay?"

The hero with a particularly long name jumped up and retorted loudly as if offended.

"This is really super cool, okay? Having a dream is the real thing = the way of the brave! Although I have already failed 530 six words in the matter of defeating the president and becoming the strongest hero in the universe, as long as I still have this I will definitely stick to my dream.”

The ghost fire spirit said to the girl seriously: "I really think Lucy is a very powerful person! Just like my sister."

Speaking of this, the brave man couldn't help showing a smile: "It's also a coincidence that my sister also happens to be named Lucy, and she always likes to be brave, but as long as you keep trying, one day, Lucy's so-called The 'playing off' is also something that is within the capabilities of the Hundred Year City, so of course you have to pay attention to safety."

After the ghost fire spirit's voice fell for a long time, there was no response from Montgomery.

The fiery red-haired girl tightly stirred her apron with her hands, and bit her lower lip hard.

She couldn't speak, and couldn't, and she was sure that if she opened her mouth, sobs would pour out.

"Want to go up and eat cake together? It's lunch break now."

The ghost fire spirit waved the cake on the red-haired girl, and stretched out her hand to the top of the girl's head again.

This time, his palm was not dodged, and the red-haired girl stood quietly with her head down, a tinge of red appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"it is good."

After the ghost fire spirit took her hand away, the red-haired girl blinked vigorously, suppressed the moisture in her eye sockets that she thought she had abandoned when she was in the orphanage, and agreed vigorously.

"Mr. Zhongyuan should be over there."

Mori Ogai looked at the looming port in the distance, with a smile that was determined to win.

After a while, the man picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

"Akutagawa-kun."

When the phone was picked up, the black-haired man first called the other party's name, and after confirming that the environment over there was suitable, Mori Ogai continued: "There is a task for you."

"Tell Green, any Green will do, go to the place I sent you to see, maybe there will be some surprises."

The boss hero of Mafia at the port gave instructions to the other end of the phone in a casual tone, and after making sure that his somewhat reckless subordinates understood his order, he simply hung up the phone.

But when he hung up the call, another unusual number called into his phone. After staring at the number for a few seconds, Mori Ogai answered the phone without changing his expression.
