Minai who was lying on the small bed suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. She clutched the quilt in a daze for a few seconds before remembering where it was.

She was in her small room, surrounded by pink and white gauze curtains, and the star ornaments on it were the ones she picked out at the first sight.Mina lifted the quilt and stepped on the ground barefoot, the fluffy feel of the carpet brought her back from the cold ground in her dream.

Mina gently pushed open the door, the outside room was as quiet as usual, but it made her feel very at ease.She curled up in the seat on the table, looking at the sleeping person on the bed.

Sit here for a while, and then go back to sleep when you are no longer afraid.Mina, who was thinking like this, hugged her knees and slowly closed her eyes.

In the morning, seeing the doll in a chair in only light pajamas, Ayatsuji pedestrian frowned slightly.Mina, who has already started to sleep in, why did she run outside so early?

When did she come out, what did she post yesterday... Ayatsuji Xingren is sure that nothing unexpected happened yesterday, the only conclusion that can explain this is that she dreamed about something.

Ayatsuji pedestrians did not wake her up, pulled a blanket from the side to cover her body, and turned to wash.

When he came back, the puppet had already woken up, was folding the blanket, and greeted him energetically when he came.

"Pedestrian, good morning!" Mina put the blanket in the cabinet and stretched, "Why don't you call me?"

"There is no commission today, and the program you want to watch hasn't arrived yet." Ayatsuji Xingren stood by the table with a coffee in one hand, and casually flipped through the newspapers on the table with the other hand, "If you are sleepy, you can sleep for a while .”

"I'm not sleepy anymore, shall we go out today?" Mina's voice came from her small room, and Ayatsuji pedestrians knew without thinking that she must be standing in front of the wardrobe holding a skirt to compete.

"Would you like to go out?"

Mina, who had changed into a long skirt, poked her head out, glanced out of the window, and immediately shook her head, "It's cloudy outside, it will become sticky and annoying if you go out."

Mina had always disliked this kind of weather. It was neither a sunny day nor a fresh and comfortable rainy day. The half cloudy and rainy state seemed to be depressing something, making people unable to get motivated.

Ayatsuji pedestrian put the coffee on the table and before he sat down, he saw the doll running towards him, waving as if to attract his attention: "Pedestrian, pedestrian!"

He watched the puppet bouncing closer, and the heels of his shoes made a crisp knocking sound on the table.

"I remembered why I sat outside last night." Minai hopped and sat on the pile of books with her legs hanging down, her slender ankles occasionally touched the spine of the book, and the butterflies on the lace-up shoes were about to fly.

Ayatsuji pedestrians withdrew their eyes and focused on the words on the paper: "Did you have a nightmare?"

"It seems to be." The puppet's feet stopped shaking, and said hesitantly, "I don't remember what I dreamed of, I just remember being very scared at the time, and then I woke up."

Ayatsuji Xingren froze his hand as he turned the page, and was about to say something when he saw the doll and patted his face to cheer him up, "Maybe the horror movie I watched yesterday was too real, it was all fake, there is nothing to be afraid of. "

After telling these words to Yan Tsuji, Mina felt much more relaxed in her heart. She went to read the book in the hands of Yan Tsuji, and saw a few "severed fingers, pools of blood, a dark room and the sound of footsteps behind." Immediately after these few words, she took a few steps back, wishing to be the furthest away from him.

"Haha, this book is really good... Read it yourself, I'm going to watch TV."

Ayatsuji closed the book and put it aside, watching the doll with a polite smile turn around and run to the living room, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.This also made him feel a little relieved, Mina didn't seem to be too much affected by the nightmare.

In the middle of the night, Mina who suddenly opened her eyes jumped up from the bed and almost ran out of her room.When she opened the door and saw the scene outside, she froze for a moment, freed from the panic in her nightmare.

She remembered that during the day, Ayatsuji pedestrians moved her room to the bedside table.

Now that person's sleeping face is close at hand, the familiar person gave Mina great comfort.She jumped off the bedside table and threw herself on the bed, the soft quilt was the cushion, without making any sound.

Mina approached Ayatsuji pedestrian carefully, and lay down next to his arm, holding the temperature that reassured her, the repeated images in her mind gradually disappeared.

"Have another nightmare?"

The voice above her head startled Mina, she raised her head, and sure enough, Ayatsuji Xingren had already woken up, and his translucent brown eyes were looking at her, probably because of the moonlight, casting a layer of delicate light on his already outstanding face .

"Do you remember what you dreamed about?"

"Ah?" Minai recovered from the shock of beauty, secretly thinking why she was so unfocused, and almost forgot the dream just now.

"I dreamed about fire, a big fire."

"I was in a room with a fire burning outside and the door wouldn't open."

Mina said while recalling, probably because someone was listening, those false images were not scary anymore, "I wanted to retreat, but the room was getting smaller and smaller, and I woke up when the fire was about to burn in .”

Ayatsuji pedestrian pulled back the quilt, and the doll got in immediately, rested on his pillow, twisted a few times left and right, and then yawned a little.

"I'm going to sleep here today, don't let me go!" Mina pulled the quilt to tuck the quilt for Ayatsuji pedestrian, "You have to be careful not to crush me when you sleep."

Surrounded by familiar auras, Mina's heart gradually calmed down. She closed her eyes, opened them again after a while, turned her head and saw that Ayatsuji pedestrians were not asleep, "Huh? Are you not sleepy?"

"The dreams are all fake. I'm not afraid anymore." She reached out and patted Ayatsuji Xingren's head. "I didn't mean to wake you up. If you can't sleep, I can sing for you."

"Do you like listening to "Song of Kuku", I learned it recently." Minai hummed a few times recalling the melody, and found that the song's cheerful rhythm was not suitable for listening to before going to bed, so she gave up.

Ayatsuji pedestrian pulled Mina to his side, "It's all over, this kind of thing won't happen again."

"Huh?" Mina didn't quite understand, did she mean that she wouldn't continue to have nightmares, but even pedestrians can't control things like dreams... right?

"Are you going to hypnotize me?" Mina pulled up the quilt, leaving only a pair of dark eyes looking at him, "It seems that hypnosis can control dreams, can you even do this?"

"It's okay, go to bed." Ayatsuji pedestrian's hand covered Mina's face, "Don't be afraid, I'm right here."

Mina nodded, wrapped the quilt tightly and slowly calmed down.

On the third day, Mina did not wake up again, and the room was relocated back to the desk.

This is what Mina requested, because it is always on the bedside table, and when she goes out, she will fall on the bed of Ayatsuji pedestrian if she is not careful, and that person will be on it most of the time, if she is always hit by the doll , it should be very painful.

"This is the information you want."

Tsujimura Fukatsuki came in with a stack of thick documents, Mina heard a "boom" when they were placed on the table, and took a small breath.

"If it's just a fire, the conditions are too broad." Tsujimura Mizuki flipped through a few pages worryingly, "There are still some that are not in the record, and it is very troublesome to find."

"No, those with records are enough." Ayatsuji pedestrian picked up the top newspaper, the yellowed edge showed its age.

"I'm going back to deal with the follow-up of the last entrustment. Are you okay with these documents?" Tsujimura Mizuki knew how trivial the materials she found were. Even if she marked out the relevant information, screening would be a troublesome job .

Ayatsuji pedestrians didn't raise their eyes, and flipped through the newspapers in each hand, "I said there is a problem, will you stay and help?"

Tsujimura Fukatsuki offers a timely expression of sympathy: "If only my work was done ahead of schedule."

"Your work should have been completed yesterday." Ayatsuji pedestrian waved his hand, which meant to let her leave quickly, "These documents can be read in an afternoon, unlike some people who need a day."

Tsujimura Fukatsuki returned to the Supernatural Special Affairs Section and realized that he forgot to ask what incidents these documents were involved in.But this was originally the information that Ayatsuji pedestrians suddenly asked her to look up, and the time required was extremely urgent, and she was dizzy just after looking it up.

Forget it, wait for him to find out and ask again, Detective Ayatsuji must have a reason for doing things.

The eyes of Ayatsuji passers-by scanned the newspapers, throwing aside the ones with wrong time and exaggerated reports. Even so, there were quite a few newspapers that were screened out.

Suddenly his hand stopped, and his eyes stopped at the corner of the newspaper in his hand, "The orphanage broke out in a fire, but fortunately no one was injured."
