Kneeling and begging to live past the age of 18

From moving bricks on the construction site to carrying cement on his shoulders, Miki Nozomi rejected all the physical work with a straight face, and took the other party's own physical strength as an example.

In the end, Edogawa Ranpo could only withdraw his hand resentfully, muttering softly.

"When I grow up to my father's age, I will definitely be as good as him!"

My father is tall and big, and he can use many powerful moves. It is no problem for one person to fight several people!

So when I grow up, I will definitely be like him!

"But you're only eighteen."

Lovingly stroking Chaoanpo's hair, Miki Nozomi immediately made a conclusion.

"So there is no choice about going to school."

Edogawa Ranpo: "..."

oh so angry...

In the end, Ranbu, who was fooled by Miki Nozomi, was packed and sent to school by his mother the next day.

Just sitting in a seat that he didn't sit in for a holiday but didn't miss at all, he started to sigh.

It's only morning...it's a toss-up that there are hours before I get home from school and meet Ash.

After finally staying up until noon to eat, Edogawa Ranpo poked the rice in the bento depressedly with his chopsticks, and sighed deeply again.

Why is time passing so slowly today?Obviously when he was with Axi, the time flew by in a whizzing way, extremely fast.

Under this mentality that the closer to the end of school time, the slower the time passes, the clock finally passed the afternoon class and came to the end of school.

The moment the bell rang, after the teacher had just left the classroom door, Edogawa Ranpo, who could not wait for a long time, grabbed his schoolbag impatiently, ran directly to the back door, opened the door and rushed out.

"Ashi—I'm back!"

Putting down his schoolbag and rushing into the next door, only to find that Miki Nozomi was not at home.

"Ranbu came to find Axi?"

Already used to the neighbor's son coming to play with her daughter, Miki's mother explained with a smile.

"Her words should help me buy seasonings in the small supermarket now."

Edogawa Ranpo:! ! !

Outside! ! !

After bidding farewell to Miki's mother, Luanbu hurried to the small supermarket in the village resolutely, and soon saw Miki Nozomi at the entrance.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but when you look at it, Edogawa Ranpo’s cheeks bulged instantly, his eyes were blazing, and he stared straight at the scene where his little friend gave other children a piece of candy, his heart was so sour that I ate lemons.

Ming, obviously bought candy for me! ! !

On the other side, after coaxing the crying child from falling, Miki Nozomi turned around and was about to go, but the next second when she looked up, she saw Edogawa Ranpo wronging Bala.

How bitter and bitter the eyes were, how wronged and wronged they were, they were only a few tears away, and cried out with a wow.

"Ranbo, you are out of school."

Calmly coming to Ranpo, Nozomi took out a bag of candy from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

"Okay, okay, let's eat candy, I bought it for you."

"……I know."

In the end, he reached for the sugar, and Edogawa Ranpo directly took a piece out and put it in his mouth. The sweet taste made him finally calm down.

I knew what happened at a glance, and I knew it was just a coincidence, and I wasn't trying to steal someone from myself, but...

"Sure enough, I still feel very angry!"

Angrily, he peeled off another piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth. Edogawa ranpo looked at the bag of candy that was missing in his hand, and his heart ached.

"Speaking of which, how does Luanpo feel at school?"

Leading the other party back, Miki Nozomi turned his head and asked.

"There shouldn't be many things on the first day, right?"

"How? It's still the same."

Recalling how anxious I was sitting on the chair, I only felt that time was getting slower and slower, and Luanbu, who still had sugar in his mouth, couldn't help but sighed again.

"It's really boring. If I could choose, I would definitely choose to play with you, Axi. It would definitely be much better than being in school."

As if thinking of something, Edogawa Ranpo's expression became serious again, he chewed the candy in his mouth in a few bites, walked quickly and stood in front of Miki Nozomi.

"I'm telling the truth, I really think so."

His eyes were full of candor.

"I think Ashby is more important than school, and many others are important. He is the most important person besides father and mother!"

"Is that so...?"

The little child stood stubbornly in front of him, his voice was extremely sincere and straightforward.Miki Nozomi was taken aback for a moment, she stopped in her tracks, and after a few seconds, she suddenly lowered her eyes and answered softly.

"Based on this calculation, Ranbu is also the most important person in this world to me besides my parents."

Yes, in this world, he is indeed his first friend.

"Then we're all the same!"

Hearing the sincerity in Miki Nozomi's words, Edogawa Ranpo was happy again, he took the seasoning in Miki Nozomi's hand contentedly, and held the other's hand with the other hand.

"Let's go back quickly~"

"Okay, let's go back together."

Time passed by little by little, several months passed quickly, and even the time came to another year.

The time this time was not short compared to before, but it was by no means long either. Except that Miki's mother's condition became more serious, the rest were extremely harmonious.

However, on this day, Miki Nozomi suddenly received unexpected news.

"Ash."

Miki's mother, who came back from the outside, rushed to Miki Nozomi as soon as she entered the house, her voice was seldom solemn since she moved here.

"We may need to move again."

Although he used uncertain words, but that look, no matter how you looked at it, he didn't think it was just a "possibility".

"I understand."

Miki Nozomi closed the book in her hand, looked up at her mother calmly, her voice was as soft as ever.

"Don't worry, mother, I've already prepared."

In any case, she certainly noticed something in this way of moving from place to place from the beginning, so how could she make herself a burden?

Miki's mother: "..."

The feeling of guilt that was already a little bit stronger, Miki's mother sat next to Miki Nozomi, gently stroking the top of her head.

"I'm sorry Axi, it's rare that you now have friends you can play with, but you can only..."

"It's ok."

Interrupting her mother's guilty words, Nozomi straightened her body and gave her mother a comforting hug.

"Because my favorite is my mother, so as long as I am with my mother, I can go anywhere."

After all, the hardest part is indeed the mother, isn't it?

"Ashi..."

With a dry voice, Miki Nozomi felt herself being hugged tightly, and she gently patted her mother's back to comfort her.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've always treated it as a trip with my mother."

"Yes, it's tourism..."

Even the body of the baby in her arms was so soft that she dared not use force. Mother Miki sighed and closed her eyes to cover the soreness in her eyes.

How could she have such a well-behaved and sensible child as Axi?Even in such busy days, there will always be hope around me.

Thinking back to the news she received in the town and her physical condition, Miki's mother made a decision in her heart.

The preparations have also been completed, and she has even told her husband through her ability that if something really happens to her, then Axi can also...

She took a deep breath, straightened her body again, and the smile on her face returned to its usual gentleness.

"This time the situation is more urgent, so we will leave tomorrow, and Ash can pack up the things to take away."

"I see."

Seeing that her mother's emotions had calmed down, Nozomi nodded and went back to her room to start tidying up.

"This...and this...take another set of clothes, these are enough."

Skillfully organizing the things he was about to take away into a box, Nozomi pushed the box to the corner and looked back at his bedroom.

Although a box of things has been sorted out, the furnishings in the bedroom do not appear to be too empty, and even some small furnishings are still placed on the table, with no intention of taking them away together.

She doesn't carry many things, or many things can be bought afterwards. In order to go on the road easily, most of the things will not be taken away at all.

Her eyes turned around in the bedroom a few more times before she made sure that nothing important was left behind. Just as Miki Xi breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes fixed on the fish tank on the table again.

The black goldfish seemed to be undisturbed, and still wandered slowly in the water, turning around occasionally, also in a leisurely manner.

Xiao Hei definitely won't be able to take it with him, and he didn't have time to take care of a goldfish during the move.

Even if Luanbu knew that he was going to move...

Miki Nozomi sighed, found a bowl of a suitable size in the kitchen, went back to the house and scooped the goldfish into the bowl, went out and knocked on the door of the house next door.

"Ash?"

Seeing Miki Nozomi who came suddenly, Edogawa's mother rushed to welcome him into the house.

"You are..."

Her gaze sized Miki Nozomi for a while, and she directly saw the cause and effect.

"Can't you keep it?"

The expression suddenly became solemn, Edogawa's mother only felt that this matter was a bit big.

My son finally had an ordinary friend, but he will be gone within a year?

What about the promised childhood sweetheart? ? ?

"Because of the sudden incident, my mother and I are moving away."

Carefully put the bowl containing the goldfish on the coffee table, Miki Nozomi straightened up and answered calmly.

"There is no other way, so I can only ask you."

Not only the goldfish, but also the disorderly steps that are expected to occur after knowing the matter.

Mother Edogawa: "..."

Oh, how can Luanbu make trouble here?He is afraid that he can make a hole in the sky...

I don't think so!Father of the child, come back quickly!Let's negotiate to settle the matter and leave Miki's house behind! ! !

Still smiling gracefully on her face, Edogawa's mother just wanted to quickly bring her husband back to make up her mind, but as if the heavens were not good, the door was suddenly opened, and the energetic voice of Ranbu sounded directly.

"I'm back! School is over early today, I..."

Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped suddenly like a duck being strangled by its neck.

Edogawa looked blankly at Miki Nozomi and his mother in the room, and the next second, his eyes became sharp, and his voice was full of disbelief.

"Ashi, you actually want to move!!!"

Didn't you just go to school?How did such a big thing happen when you came back? ! !
