After straying into the world of Meow Meow

【Armed Detective Agency Office】

Now is a rare and leisurely afternoon tea time.

Twist a piece of pastry called kidney bean rolls into his mouth, the soft and sticky taste made Atsushi Nakajima involuntarily light up his star eyes, and exclaimed "Wow ~ wow": "This is delicious too, woo woo woo !"

Kunikida Doppo, who was already chewing on the same pastry, picked up the notebook on the side and wrote down a few things, swallowed the pastry and looked at Edogawa Ranpo who was sitting diagonally across from him: "You went to that Chinese snack bar and queued up ?”

"Ah, that's right." The latter replied lazily, picked up a golden shrimp ball and threw it upwards, and swallowed it in one gulp when it fell to his mouth.

A new Chinese-style snack bar has opened near the Armed Detective Agency. The store is small and specializes in sweets and fried foods.Not to mention that the owner is young and beautiful, the taste of the food is also amazing.

The timing of the shopkeeper's opening seems to depend entirely on his mood.But during the business hours, it is common to see long lines of people waiting for food outside the store.Since there is only the owner and one employee in the store, even if you make a reservation by phone in advance, you still need to pick up the meal in the store.

There is also a white Persian cat in the store who likes to stick to the owner.Oh no, because the other party is round and chubby no matter what angle you look at, so it would be more appropriate to change the quantifier to Tuo.

But so far, none of the guests have successfully visited this plush which is no different from dogs.If someone of the opposite sex tries to get close to the shop owner, the fluffy fluff will puff up all the fur and retreat from the other party, or even pounce on him directly to scratch him.

Going through the store's information, Kunikida suddenly remembered something: "If I remember correctly, Ranpo you went downstairs 10 minutes ago?"

Luanbu, with his mouth full of food, responded vaguely.

Kunikida pushed his glasses, swallowed the words "Actually, there is no need to throw away the reservation form before going upstairs", and picked up the cup of poplar nectar in front of him.

The mangoes cut into evenly small pieces are spread all over the surface, and the almost transparent sago floating in the gaps looks very springy.

Just as he put a generous spoonful into his mouth, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket rang to indicate that he had received a message.

Taking out the phone and looking at it, he was still chewing the mango and froze for a moment, and the lens began to reflect white light.

Atsushi Nakajima noticed his abnormal situation: "Mr. Kunikida, Kuni?"

"Ah, the personal credit check will start tomorrow morning." Atsushi Nakajima heard the other party throw out a sentence, and started to twitch with the corners of his mouth upwards, "That guy Dazai..."

He seemed to hear the creaking sound of the other party pinching the handle of the spoon.

"Huh? Uh, personal credit check?" Wiping the food residue from his mouth with the back of his hand, he stretched his neck and moved closer to Kunikida.

Immediately, his voice suddenly raised: "For example, if there are personnel who have related behaviors, will they be punished by their forces?!"

"Ah." Kunikida Doppo, who has calmed down, put down the spoon, "The new requirements just issued by the Supernatural Secret Service Division. The main purpose is to prevent supernatural beings from using their supernatural powers to make vicious credit-related transactions in major stores." OK……"

In the middle of speaking, Kunikida fell into a strange pause again.

Atsushi Nakajima, who knew what the other party was going to say in seconds, didn't make complaints about the man like before, but glanced at his desktop thinking that there was no trace—the one was deliberately pressed under the folder, only revealing A sticky note with a little pink corner.

The sweet smell on it seems to have not dissipated until now.

The famous detective who noticed Renhu's little move made a very obvious tongue-clicking sound.

For Atsushi Nakajima, the Thursday a month ago was his Mercury retrograde day.

The task of helping the shit shovel officer to find cats, which can be easily completed, suddenly became a difficult success. On the way back, I encountered a rare torrential rain.Because the place is relatively remote, I forgot to bring my mobile phone, and there are no small shops or vehicles along the way, and even the places that can protect from the rain are full of people.

After running in the rain for a while, I also inexplicably got the essence of several flat falls.

Fortunately, when he fell on the ground for the fifth time, he was not far from the dormitory where he lived.

Well, after going back to the hot bath and resting for a while, let's go to the restaurant he frequents to eat ochazuke - he still has a lot of bowls to eat.

Atsushi Nakajima, who was cold and hungry, thought so, and when he was about to get up, he heard the sound of rainwater pattering on the umbrella above his head.

"Hello? Need help?"

A female hand stretched out in front of his eyes.

……

Burping contentedly, Atsushi Nakajima froze as he put his hands in his trouser pockets and was about to take out the money.

Oops, oops, the last salary of this month is all gone!

He subconsciously turned to look at the pretty shopkeeper who was sitting at the table diagonally across from him, with his back turned to him, and began to get inexplicably nervous.

Probably because his gaze was too flustered, the other party suddenly turned his head: "Huh? Are you ready to eat?"

"Ah, um..."

"Well, it's raining less now." The shopkeeper stood up and stretched, "Although you said this place is very close to where you live, it's better to go back with an umbrella."

"Oh yes, I'll pack another ginger ball for you as a dessert."

When the other party was about to enter the back kitchen, he suddenly shouted: "Wait, wait a minute!"

"Eh?"

After pinching the edge of the towel wrapped around his body a few times, Atsushi Nakajima took a deep breath: "That, that, I don't need dessert, I'm already full."

"Then don't put the small balls, and cook some ginger juice for you to take home? It's very helpful to dispel the cold."

Looking at the other party's crescent-shaped eyes, Atsushi Nakajima, whose heartbeat suddenly accelerated, nodded in a daze.

He didn't realize that something was wrong until he smelled the smell of ginger juice close at hand.

"Shop, Miss Shopkeeper, wait, wait!"

"Huh?" The store owner blinked after screwing the lid on the thermos bottle, "What's wrong?"

He lowered his head slowly: "That, that, I am, uh..."

Before he could finish his stuttering, he saw the shopkeeper oh clearly, "Did you forget to bring the money?"

"Ah yes! Eh?! Ah, no, no! Well, actually, I...!"

"It's okay, I'm treating you today." The shopkeeper chuckled and pointed to the umbrella that was placed aside, "Don't forget to bring an umbrella when you go back."

"No, no!" He suddenly slapped the table and stood up.

The other party seemed to be taken aback by his actions.

"Sorry, sorry, that's not what I meant!" He hastily bowed 90 degrees to the other party, "Well, please let me write an IOU!"

"you……"

"Please! Miss Shopkeeper!" His tone was very sincere, as if the other party refused to agree and kept on bowing.

Of course, he didn't intend to let the other party see his almost steamed face.

"Well, it's really... just wait for me."

He heard the other party sigh, followed by the sound of footsteps and the nib sliding across the paper.

"It's time to look up and pick up something."

He didn't stand up straight, and reached out to take what the other party handed over by feeling - it was a folded cherry blossom-shaped post-it note.

Um?Shouldn't the IOU be written by him?Why... Wait, this kind of note paper, if I remember correctly, he seems to have seen several on Mr. Dazai's desk.Could it be the special IOU of this store?

The simple-minded Atsushi Nakajima carefully put the note paper into his dry pocket: "Don't worry, Miss Shopkeeper, I will make up for the meal as soon as I get paid in a few days!"

"Ah, actually there is really no need..."

He didn't answer any more, just picked up the umbrella and turned quickly towards the door.When he got to the door, he saw a chubby cat squeezed in.

The cat froze for a moment when it saw him.

When a person and a cat passed by, he seemed to feel his ankles being smeared twice by wet paw pads.

"...Atsushi? Atsushi-kun? Nakajima Atsushi!"

"Have!"

Kunikida glanced at his colleague, who had obviously recovered from a daze, and took a deep breath: "Although there are only three of us here, it is enough to check this area. By the way, I will leave the shops nearby to you." .”

"Ah, um, okay, I see! Go now!"

Atsushi Nakajima stood up abruptly, and ran straight out the door like a gust of wind.

After a while, the gust of wind came back from outside the door again.He hovered in front of his personal desk for a while, then rushed out again.

When Kunikida was about to stand up, he was stopped by Edogawa Ranpo: "Now there is only one shop where Dazai pays on credit."

"Just let Dun go, hum."

Before coming to that store, Atsushi Nakajima consciously stood at the end of the line.

There are not too many people now, and you can see her in about 10 minutes.

He squeezed the post-it note in his pocket, and his heartbeat started to speed up again.

In fact, the salary was paid half a month ago, but because of the incident that he accidentally saw in front of the store before, he struggled for a long time:

At that time, he saw Mr. Dazai and the owner of the shop holding the same note.After the former handed the note to the shopkeeper, he took her right hand and kissed the back of it very naturally.

"Okay, this IOU will be voided." Mr. Dazai said in a sweet tone he had never heard before, "Thank you, lovely lady owner~ I have to say, this way of repaying the money is really great. .”

"Really, remember to bring money next time." The shopkeeper just sighed softly, and threw the post-it note in the other hand into the trash can beside him.

"Okay, I will remember."

Besides that time, he also saw Dazai-san kiss his face and hair.

The innocent baby instantly understood why the shop owner didn't let him write the IOU by himself.Also, this kind of behavior that seems to be taken advantage of is really... ahem, stop!

The people in front of him had already walked out with fragrant food, and it was time for him to go inside.

In the bottom of my heart, I struggled for a while, "Whether it is easier to accept the back of the right hand or the back of the left hand", and finally decided to choose the left hand. Atsushi Nakajima took a deep breath, took the note in his hand, pushed open the door and stepped in.

There was only one table in the store with a customer sitting, and he was still very familiar with that customer.

Atsushi Nakajima: ....Could it be that Mr. Dazai came to pay the debt again?Then should he stand here and wait, or go out and wait for a while?

When he started to struggle again, the other party didn't seem to notice him, he just stood up and walked towards the lady owner who just came out of the back kitchen.

"Lan sauce, I'm here to pay the debt again~"

He saw two sakura notes held between his fingers shake twice in mid-air, and immediately heard the sound of two kisses.

"I want to eat milk-flavored red bean and taro balls today, please excuse Lan Jiang."

Otherwise, why don't you come over after Mr. Dazai leaves?After all that kind of thing...

When Atsushi Nakajima was about to turn around and leave, Osamu Dazai suddenly called out: "Hey, isn't this Atsushi-kun?"

"Ah, Mr. Dazai!" After a pause, he turned around mechanically, "You, did you also come here to eat snacks? What a coincidence, hahaha."

The other party propped his face with one hand and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.

Atsushi Nakajima froze.

Well, this look is terrible!Legs, legs that don't live up to expectations, you move a few steps! QQ

This gaze lasted until the owner brought the dessert and placed it on the table in front of Osamu Dazai.

"Huh? It's you? I want some... eh?!"

"Dazai Lanlan, my wife."

When Atsushi Nakajima was about to "save someone" from Osamu Dazai's leg, he suddenly heard the latter throw a name lightly.

Immediately afterwards, he added, "So pay the debt honestly."
