[Bungo Stray Dogs] Banxia Nocturne

The first time I saw the name Nanae Kaihara was on a rainy day.

The sudden torrential rain in summer was not recorded in the plan, and the umbrella was naturally not with me. Fortunately, all the entrustments in the account have been resolved, but the snacks that Mr. Ranpo asked for have not been bought yet, so I passed by the dim sum shop and decided to stop for a while. .

I happened to collide with her when I opened the store door and walked in. I vaguely remembered that she was running over with a large basket of live oak leaves that had been soaked in the rain. I held the door for her until she entered the store smoothly, and then left. Go to the takeaway freezer and start picking out the grass pancakes that Mr. Ranpo needs.I don't know if it was caused by her ability, but when I walked out of the store, the rain stopped.

Around that time, the line of fate already intersected with her, right?At that time, I never thought that Kaihara, who handed me a dry towel to dry my hair, would break into my life so abruptly, but it was so harmonious.Just like the red bean soup she made, the red bean soup boiled into loose sand is thick and sweet, and it blends with the fragrance of the tough small rice cakes as if they were originally one.

I also wondered if we would have such an encounter if she wasn't a supernatural being.

Mr. Ranpo seems to have seen her identity early on. Judging from the performance of the president, they have already had an indissoluble bond.The day she came to the Armed Detective Agency happened to be attacked by gangsters in the port. At that time, I didn't notice her behavior at all, but I was relieved that she was not injured at all.

In short, her smile reminded me of another person who passed away two years ago—Nobuko Sasaki, the follow-up mastermind of the Cangwang incident.After the seemingly polite but distant smile, there was always an inexplicable emotion in her eyes when she stayed at the detective agency, and later I learned that it was nostalgia and apology.

Mr. Ranpo once hinted to me that her identity is not simple. Even Dazai seems to be an insider, always bringing the topic to her unknowingly, and then being cleverly led to me by Kaihara.

Um?lead to me?

That farce-like admission test was really just a joke to other people, but it had a different meaning to me than to her.It wasn't just what she said offhand at the end that caught me off guard, but her reaction at that moment caught my attention.

In that script, I was set as the kidnapped who was injured and fell to the ground, and Dazai played the role of the cadre of the port mafia. The panic and sadness in my eyes almost overwhelmed me. At that time, I regretted deceiving her in such a way, and reminded her of the best friend she had been unable to save.

I didn't intend to eavesdrop, but I did hear the conversation between Kaihara and the president. She seemed to be an old acquaintance with the president, but she said "she was escaping". From time to time, the president just said

"When she wants to tell you, she will naturally say, if you want to know, then ask her personally, I will not disclose her information."

I'm not a person who likes to inquire about other people's private affairs, so I didn't ask her. I just wrote down the conversations and feelings I heard that day in my notebook, so that it was quite embarrassing for her to look through the notebook later.

Kaihara lived unexpectedly close to the detective agency, and was dragged into the group's attack after interacting with the detective agency a lot.When she received a call from her looking for Xie Ye, she was flustered for no reason, and her frenzied heartbeat slowed down after seeing her safe and sound.At this time, I hadn't noticed that I was paying more and more attention to her. After being hinted by Dr. Xie Ye, I was shocked to realize that the frequency of contact with her recently was too high.

I like the restaurant she took me to very much, not only the quality of the dishes exceeded my expectations, but also because the owner there is an old acquaintance with her, and with her tacit approval, I can often learn a lot about her past , There are her happy childhood, but also the sad, hidden pain.

Kaihara always goes to the store alone on a certain day every year to eat spicy curry that she doesn't like. She always doesn't want me to see her sad side.The slightly fat boss often laments that I am similar to Oda Saku when I go to eat alone, but I also know that she does not treat me as him, but as two different individuals .After figuring this out, it seemed like a huge stone in my heart fell to the ground, and I joked with Dr. Xie Ye that I could finally feel the feeling of jealousy. Is this jealousy?

I don’t think so.

Qihui's past will always be brought up lightly by her, but the scars on her body, large and small, have recorded her time of ups and downs in the dark.The gunshot wound on her heart was caused by my fault. It should have been eliminated after being treated with supernatural powers with Dr. Xie Ye, but it was branded on her fair skin with such fierce claws and claws, which made me sad, and I always reminded myself that I almost lost she.

Now she likes to hold my hand very much. When we first met, she didn't want me to discover the tiny scars and calluses on her hands. She hardly touched anyone actively, and even wore gloves to avoid suspicion.Then she worried that her hands weren't as delicate as other girls', until I took hers and told her mine had rough calluses from holding pens and guns too.

Although Dazai complained that what I said was really stupid, she seemed to let go of her knot because of it, which is great.

Qihui's subordinates... always treat me with a grumpy look, especially Mr. Whitman, maybe it's because I stole their boss's attention from them?

After the V organization became the link between the Armed Detective Agency, the Port Gangster and the Supernatural Secret Service, I naturally hoped to have a good relationship with her subordinates, but things didn’t always go as I wanted. Nana Hui said don’t worry about their childishness guy, but it always bothers me that V Organization is, in a sense, her home.

In my ideal, we should meet in two years and get married in four years.

However, Qihui told me that she had seen me ten years ago, and indeed "met" me again in the Cangwang incident two years ago, and was implicated in the incident.

She was on the plane back to Yokohama - the plane that lost control and fell from the sky,

"I've been supporting the plane with my abilities! How do you think the plane that lost power didn't crash while you were dawdling?!"

Qihui poked the hair on the top of my head angrily and funnyly, even though she said it lightly, it still scared me into a cold sweat.

After dating for two years, I privately asked many people how it would be more appropriate to propose to Qihui, but the results were not satisfactory. In retrospect, I wanted to wake up myself at the time with a hand account book.

Yu Xie Ye (complicated eyes): "I'd better introduce another man to Xiao Qihui..."

Ranpo (complicated eyes): "You have a reason for being single for many years, Kunikida"

President (the old father was in a complicated mood but didn't say anything): "Kaihara can't marry this immature Kunikida yet. '

Dazai (grievous): "Why do you refuse to die with me but want to associate with this log?! Kaihara, wake up!"

Whitman, Sato, Ying Zizhong: "Kill you?!"

It was indeed my fault, I admit it.

In the end, she made a successful proposal. In addition to the ring on her right middle finger that symbolizes the leader of the V organization, she wore an engagement ring of the same style as herself on her left ring finger.I didn't expect her to cry for this at all. She said that when she took up the organization, she never dared to think that she would be as happy as she is now, but I think she deserves all the good things.

When I got engaged, I received an anonymous, strange bouquet.The stems and leaves smell like traditional Chinese medicine, and the tubular white flowers have light purple lines on them. It's just strange that half of the flowers have been torn off.

It happened to be seen by Dazai, and he told me with a strange expression that it was a pinellia flower, and its flower language was love and hate.

"What kind of emotion does it represent? Is it a sweet kiss or a cold dagger?" After speaking, Dazai snickered as usual and slipped away before I made a gesture to beat him up.

A strange gift, I don't know if it is a warning or a blessing.

The author has something to say:

I planned to write a special episode from the perspective of different people before, and it will probably be produced slowly when I have inspiration

As for the comprehensive manga, don't worry, I'm working on the manuscript, and I plan to publish it after five chapters, so it looks more refreshing.Although it was really terrible when I wrote it, I specially bought a lot of books to read (a lot of hair loss)
