Group Pet Career in Yokohama

The drowning man sat quietly, with his head slightly lowered, his eyes covered by his long hair, and he was thinking about something.

"Hill-chan, are you alright?" Atsushi Nakajima looked at the startled little girl and asked worriedly.

"Woo~" Hill's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, her fair and tender face wrinkled, she turned her head away suddenly, and said in a dull tone, "...I'm fine."

The person who had been sitting there for a long time finally spoke up, "Is this nosy boy who fished me out of the river when I fell into the water?"

The tail tone rises, and the sound is that kind of nice timbre.

"Eh? In, into the water?!" Atsushi Nakajima stared wide-eyed.

"En." The man turned his head slightly, paused, and said, "And this lovely and charming young lady?"

Atsushi Nakajima, who had been severely hit by the words "entering the water" and "nosy", immediately became vigilant, and silently moved to Hill's side to block her small figure.

Yes, in reality, there is such a type of people who prefer young children who have no self-protection ability compared to women of the same age.

And Hill-chan looks so... even the most unkind kind of person will suddenly slow down.

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly burst out with a strong desire for protection.

Someone who didn't know that he was suddenly labeled with a certain label looked indifferent, as if he was still thinking about something.

"Guru~"

Both turned their eyes to Hill.

"Hill sauce?" Atsushi Nakajima looked surprised, "Didn't the store manager give you a cake that looks very good?"

Why are you still screaming from hunger? ? ?

The little girl's fresh and tender face was covered with a layer of pink in embarrassment. She grabbed the skirt and said in a low voice, "The cake looks very beautiful, I haven't had time to eat it yet."

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

I have never seen a child who can starve himself into such a child when he has something to eat.

"噗嗤~" The drowning man laughed suddenly, his voice was magnetic and sweet, and he stroked back the hair stuck to his forehead with his white hands, revealing his unusually beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

"Then I'll treat the two of you to a big meal to repay your life-saving grace." He narrowed his deep peach eyes and smiled brightly.

Atsushi Nakajima: ...Who said just now that he committed suicide by diving into the water, and that he was "meddling his own business" in rescuing him?

"Looking for you a lot, you actually ran here, you bastard suicide maniac!"

There was a heart-piercing sound from the other side of the river, full of murderous intent.

The man was wearing glasses, and reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun, he cast two terrifying bright lights. He was dressed in a slim suit and vest, and he was very elite.

"Ah, thank you, Kunikida-kun, come here first!" The man who was called a suicidal man took out his right hand from the pocket of his sand-colored coat and waved it casually.

"The past, the past... huh? How long are you going to trouble others, you bastard! Dazai——!"

"Dazai?"

"Dazai?"

Hill and Atsushi Nakajima looked at each other in unison.

"It's Dazai, Hill-chan, the voice must be lowered." Atsushi Nakajima corrected and gestured with his hand.

"Haha..." The man who seemed to be amused by this scene gently covered the corners of his mouth with his hands, then raised his head, just in time for a gust of wind to blow his hair.

The corners of his clothes fluttered, rustling along with the sound of the wind, he straightened up, put his hands in his pockets, "That's my surname 'Dazai'."

"Well, the full name is Osamu Dazai." His eyes are a drowning iris color, and they look deeper when the light is on his back, like a swamp that gently envelops people.

Hill looked at him steadfastly, with both surprise and doubt in his eyes, and even more curiosity.

Ten minutes later, the four of them sat in an ochazuke restaurant.

"It's really rare to see you, Dazai, you can even invite people to eat." The person who claimed to be Dazai Osamu's partner is called Kunikida Doppo, and now he is surprised, as if seeing some strange scene.

"Oh, you're talking like I'm some kind of excessive person, Kunikida-kun." Osamu Dazai smiled, resting his chin with his hands.

Opposite him is Hill. At this moment, there are many small cakes in front of her, including all the flavors of the bakery, and all of them are double servings. Now she finally doesn't have to worry about which one to appreciate and which one to eat. .

Of course, it was Osamu Dazai who paid for it, but with the addition of his clever words and charisma, these cakes were severely discounted by the manager of the bakery.

Kunikida, who was aroused by Osamu Dazai's words, looked over and said, "Aren't you just like that?"

I saw Osamu Dazai drinking tea quietly, tsk, not only is this guy acting abnormally today, why is he still so quiet?

He suddenly sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

But the little girl is really cute, much cuter than the brats he knew from work.

Several adults chatted. Of course, Dun, who had just grown up, was still a teenager, but compared to the small Hill, he was not an exaggeration to be called an adult.

Kunikida said they were employees of the Armed Detective Agency.

Hill turned his attention from the cake to him, obviously curious.

"It's the kind of detective who specializes in finding cats and tracking cheating~" Osamu Dazai smiled bewilderedly.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Kunikida Doppo exploded again, "What are you bastard talking about?!!"

"Hmm... Obviously, I took similar commissions when the incident was off-season and the detective agency was struggling to make ends meet, and Kunikida-kun even pretended to be a cat in order to find a cat, so I recorded it for you as a souvenir~"

"You, you bastard, shut up!" Kunikida slammed his notebook on the table, and here comes the familiar bastard Dazai.

But he didn't breathe a sigh of relief. If there were no children at the scene, he would have strangled this excessive guy to death.

Atsushi Nakajima took a peek at the lively opposite side, turned his head and explained to Hill in a low voice: "This detective agency is a professional armed group that specializes in dealing with dangerous incidents that the police and the military cannot accept. It is said that the employees in it all have powerful abilities. of supernatural powers.”

Hill tilted his head: A person with supernatural powers?

Kunikida and Osamu Dazai revealed that they were commissioned by the military this time to find and investigate a tiger—that is, the "man-eating tiger" that has caused panic recently.

However, when Atsushi Nakajima heard this word, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and fell to the ground in a panic, as if he still wanted to escape.

His abnormal behavior immediately made Kunikida Doppo suspicious, he grabbed Nakajima Atsushi, threw his backhand on the ground, and said sharply: "Do you know something, kid?!"

The next second, his arms were hugged, and he turned his head to see that it was Hill.

"A-Dun is a good boy, you can't treat him like this..." Her tone was very anxious, but she couldn't explain why, she could only pull his arm out desperately with an aggrieved face, but due to the disparity in strength, , but Kunikida's sleeves were crumpled.

Atsushi Nakajima was moved to tears.

Kunikida: "..."

The original firm heart felt very guilty for some reason, and he subconsciously let go of Nakajima Atsushi's hand.

...No, he didn't do anything, did he?But it just felt like he was going too far, he thought blankly.

"Well, this is an interrogation, not a torture. It would be better for Kunikida-kun to be more gentle."

Dazai Osamu walked over, and then Hill was picked up by a pair of big hands under his armpits, like a child, and placed on the original chair.

"Yosie, be good, be good." Osamu Dazai stuffed the cake into the little girl's hands again, touched the top of her head, and comforted her softly: "Sill-chan is a good girl, right? Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for Don." Yours."

After completing this series of actions, he turned around and helped up the chair that Atsushi Nakajima had knocked down, and with his long legs straddled the chair, he hid the deep meaning in his eyes, and said to Atsushi Nakajima with a pleasant face: "Mr. If you tell what you know in detail, our detective agency will pay you a lot of information fees."

Nakajima · Pauper · Atsushi: ... I admit that I was tempted.

He told them why he was kicked out of the orphanage, and how he was followed and killed by man-eating tigers these days.

"I see." After hearing that, a dark light flashed in Dazai Osamu's eyes.

After saying everything, Atsushi Nakajima glanced at Hill guiltily. He had never told Hill about these things.

"I want to ask you to help Hill-chan find a place where she can settle down comfortably." Immediately afterwards, he bowed deeply to Osamu Dazai and Kunikida.

He lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice: "This kid doesn't remember anything, and he's all alone, following someone like me who may die at any time... his life will definitely be in danger!"

If Hill was handed over to the Armed Detective Agency, he would definitely feel at ease. As for why he didn't ask the Armed Detective Agency to deal with the man-eating tiger... How can human power compete with monsters?

As if thinking of something, he raised his head and added, "Ah, by the way, please offset the entrustment fee with intelligence fees."

Osamu Dazai and Kunikida were taken aback when they heard this. Compared with the information fee, the entrusted fee is definitely more than enough.

"Think carefully, for a helpless orphan like you, that's a lot of money." Kunikida said in a deep voice.

"I'm very clear, so please!" Atsushi Nakajima thinks that he is definitely not the kind of person who is kind enough to give selflessly, but...

Thinking of Hill's act of defending himself just now, his heart suddenly softened. Although it was a very small act, it was enough for him who grew up in the cold and ruthless environment of the orphanage. I really like this kid.

Anyway, even if I have money when I am in danger, I don't know if I have life money.

Kunikida pushed down his glasses, thinking that this boy is indeed a good boy as the boy said.

Dazaiji's eyes were clear, and he said in a gentle voice, "Don't be so pessimistic, Dun-jun."

"In short, leave everything to us adults first."

……

Somehow, Atsushi Nakajima, who suddenly became a bait, sat on the big box in the warehouse with a dazed expression.

He looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, then turned his head to look at Osamu Dazai who was sitting in the dark, and asked in confusion: "...Mr. Dazai, are your legs sore? You should give Hill-chan to me."

Hill's little head was resting on Dazai's lap. She was wearing Dazai's sand-colored windbreaker, sleeping soundly.

Turning over a page of the book, Osamu Dazai rolled his eyelids, "It's okay, kid, it's not heavy, if you change your position suddenly, you'll be woken up."

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

I don't understand, since I am the guardian of Hill, why is Mr. Dazai so self-conscious?

Is this him really that kind of person?The kind of pervert who likes children? !

Atsushi Nakajima once again felt a strong sense of vigilance.
