King of 25 Cubs

"Ah-choo-ah-choo-ah-choo-!!!"

I sneezed several times in a row.

[Host, do you have a cold? 】

"I think it might be because I stayed in the refrigerator overnight, so it's no wonder I don't catch a cold."

Feeling a little groggy, I touched my forehead.

"It doesn't seem very hot."

【Host, are you planning to find Natsume Soseki when you go out today? 】

"Yes, according to Takasu Ikue, I met him the day I was born, and he was the one who asked Master to find me in Russia, take me back to Yokohama and accept me as a disciple."

"Mr. Natsume knows too much. I always feel that he may have read the 'book'."

From the first week, I learned that Natsume Soseki’s ability is to turn into a three-flowered cat. In order to find him, I plan to go to the park where stray cats gather.

I never thought about the possibility of him being "adopted" by humans.

Natsume Soseki is the strongest supernatural being, and my master's master, how could he pretend to be a house cat and eat soft food.

[If he decides not to see you, you have no way to identify whether the cat's core is human or not. 】

I pinched my chin and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "You are right."

So, in order to find this special cat, I decided to ask his kind——

[Yuko: Dazai Dazai~ How can I find a special cat? 】

[Dazai:? ? ? 】

【Dazai: Do you have another cat? 】

【Dazai: Meow meow~】

【Dazai: Meow meow meow meow meow! ! ! 】

"..."

Seeing the "meow" on the screen, I put my phone in my pocket with a wooden face, and decided to rely on myself.

I Googled the characteristics and hobbies of Sanhua cats, and I found that this breed of cats is really different from other cats!

Sanhua cats are mostly female cats, and male cats are very rare. The reason is that the genes that control the three colors and the genes that control sex are together. Only when the genes are abnormal, will Sanhua male cats appear, and Sanhua male cats will also be accompanied by reproductive disorders. question.

Although this unpopular knowledge does not allow me to identify whether the cat's core is human, it provides me with a new idea——

Mr. Natsume will definitely not obediently let me look at it, let alone let me touch it. If I meet a kitten that is particularly resistant, even resisting to speak human words, it must be that Mr. Natsume has not run away!

Just caught it!

I'm really smart ^_^

[...Host, you dropped something. 】

I turned around and glanced at the ground, with a blank expression on my face: "No, what did I drop?"

[Have you seen the integrity all over the floor?It's all yours. 】

I:"……"

It's a pity that after several hours, I still couldn't find that special three-colored cat.

Not only that, the stray cats who used to come up to meow when they saw me, now turn around and run away when they see me like an obscene maniac, just like seeing my master who is not popular with cats, Xiao Yugan Can't attract them anymore.

It suddenly occurred to me that my master was so disrespectful, could it be because he did the same thing as me?

——Master Natsume is missing, so I have to find him or something.Although my master looks stable and mature, he doesn't seem like a person who can do such a thing, but he was also young.

I think this possibility is very high!

At this time, a three-colored cat just passed by the wheel on the side of the road.

I rushed over and grabbed the kitten, lifted it up, and groped between its hind legs and tail...

"It's mother's."

I murmured in disappointment.

At this time, the window next to me suddenly lowered.

I turned my head and glanced casually, my eyeballs almost popping out.

Zhong Zhong Zhong Zhong Yuan Zhong Ye! ?

It turned out to be the car of the Harbor Mafia, which was a little embarrassing.

Can't he just pretend he didn't see it?Why open the car window at this time? ! !

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at me with very strange eyes, and then looked at the cat in my hand, slowly folded his arms, and let out a very arrogant "tsk".

Huh?

You still tsk?

Why are you tsk? !

When it comes to how to alleviate the embarrassment, I think it must be more arrogant and arrogant than the other party.So I stared back and said fiercely, "What are you looking at me for?"

Nakahara Chuya: "What are you doing?"

"Look at you again!"

Zhongyuan Zhong also laughed back angrily, clenched his fists and rattled: "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Guangjin Liulang coughed softly in the front seat of the car: "Mr. Chuya, the leader told you to call him when you come back from a business trip."

Nakahara Chuya looked away from me, he scratched his hair: "Got it."

Finally, he muttered angrily: "Have you taken gunpowder? Are you so angry?"

I put the cat back on the ground, watched it disappear into the corner of the street, and made a fake smile: "Don't embarrass others, this is the basic etiquette for adults to socialize."

"Tch, little girl, you speak as if you are an adult."

Little, little girl film? ? ?

"..." I took a deep breath: "Mr. Chuya Nakahara, who is 1.6 meters tall, are you an adult?"

The young man in the car narrowed his eyes, and his gaze suddenly became particularly dangerous: "Say it again?"

"Ahem!" Guangjin Liulang in the front seat coughed twice again, nodded slightly at me, and said in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, I accidentally touched the window opening button just now."

Huh is that so?

I took a step back and said to Zhongya Zhongyuan not very sincerely: "Sorry, I blamed you by mistake."

Zhongyuan Zhong also closed the car window again with a dark face.

The car drove away, spraying exhaust fumes all over my face.

·

The scene outside the car window quickly reversed.

"Guangjin, you have too many things to do." Nakahara Chuya said with a cold face.

Didn't he know that the person in the front seat pushed down the window on purpose?Even the reason for calling the leader was a random excuse!

"I'm very sorry." Guangjin Liulang turned around and lowered his head: "This kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also noncommittal, leaning against the back seat of the car and closing his eyes.

He was also a little embarrassed when the window suddenly opened just now.

In fact, it's nothing to just run into each other. After all, I'm an acquaintance, just say hello and leave.

The problem is that the occasion is not right, Takaho Yuka is reaching out to a cat...

He planned to pretend to be fierce on purpose to ease the embarrassment, but he didn't expect the other party to be more fierce than him.

Zhongyuan Zhong also smiled, and then stopped thinking about it, but then the leader called him.

"Boss? It's me, um, I just came back... Gao Sui?"

Hearing Takaho Yuka's name, Nakahara was also taken aback for a moment.

"I just saw her scratching the cat on the side of the road."

"What did she catch the cat for?"

Mori Ogai's tone was a little curious.

Zhong Yuanzhong also touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "Well...she is catching a three-colored cat, and then looking at the male and female."

"...Three-flowered cat?"

Thinking of something, Mori Ogai suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, he said with emotion: "As expected, Ms. Gao Sui came up with the solution. It is simple and rude, but it works."

Zhongya Zhongyuan: "???"

Mori Ogai coughed lightly, and took the initiative to change the subject.

He said something, and Zhong Yuanzhong also showed a little embarrassed expression: "Don't you have her contact information, leader?"

Mori Ogai said unhurriedly: "She will hang up on me directly."

"I heard that Dazai is getting close to her now, why don't you let Dazai pass it on?"

"I called in the morning, and was hung up by Dazai-kun." The other party paused, and said in a somewhat funny tone: "The gravity messenger of our port Mafia is so afraid of a person, so afraid that he dare not make a phone call." ?”

"...That's not true." Zhong Yuanzhong also coughed a few times, and said in a solemn tone: "Leave this matter to me, leader."

After finishing the call with Mori Ogai, he searched for the name of "Takaho Lychee" in the contact book for a long time, poked it, and there was a "beep" sound from the phone that was not connected.

A few seconds later...the other party hung up the phone.

Hearing the hurried busy tone, Zhongyuan took the phone off his ear in disbelief and stared at the screen.

Bye?

I did a lot of psychological training to call you, but you actually hung up! ?

Nakahara frowned impatiently and called Dazai.

The result was hung up again.

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

He began to think about whether his popularity was so low that he was on the same level as the leader.

·

When I received a call from Zhongya Zhongyuan, I was scratched by a big orange cat protecting my wife, and I accidentally pressed the hang up button.

"..."

I looked at the red paw prints on my arm with a bitter face, so I had no choice but to hit Zhongya Zhongyuan again.

As a result, as soon as the other party got connected, they preached for a full 2 ​​minutes.

"If it wasn't for business, do you think I would be willing to make this call! Have you ever heard of 'multiple friends, multiple paths'? I don't think so, why are you so coy!"

When the fire on the other side ceased, I opened my mouth slowly and took the time to say: "I was scratched by a cat just now, so I accidentally pressed the hang-up button."

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

I hesitated and said, "Mr. Zhongyuan, you are the one who is twitching, right? You are so thin-skinned, are you a young lady?"

"Who said just now that not embarrassing others is an adult's social etiquette?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also had a vicious tone.

I drew a long voice: "Being so fierce on purpose, so it's to cover up the embarrassment?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also gave a cold "heh": "Aren't you too?"

I got stuck: "...I'm sorry, you'd better get down to business."

Zhong Yuanzhong also cleared his throat, and said breathlessly like a popping bean: "The HR of Port Mafia jumped off the building and died. Before he died, he forwarded a piece of information that was not good for you. The side intercepted, but it is not sure whether the interception was successful or not."

I raised my eyebrows.

He saved a hand before he died, it seems that the bald HR's death was not easy.

Mori Ogai killed him?

The email that is not good for me... That should correspond to the incident where I blew my identity to save Dazai, and maybe the information that "Matilda is Takaho Yuka" should be added.

"Understood." I paused for a moment, and said "thank you" sincerely.

"Sorry, my tone was not very good just now."

The other party also sincerely apologized, hesitated for a few seconds, and persuaded me earnestly: "Well... let the stray cats go, it's not easy for them to live."

Why doesn't this person open which pot and lift which pot?

"...I want you to take care of it!"

After hanging up the phone, I searched through my mobile phone for suspicious emails recently received by the Secret Service.

"Nothing?"

Huh, wait!

I suddenly thought of something that happened in the morning!

When Dazai received a call from Mori Ogai, he hung up directly, and then said that the Secret Service had a job for him... He intercepted that email?

Mori Ogai's phone call may be to inform Dazai that he is going to attack that HR, so Dazai went directly to the secret service department and waited?

I feel like I've touched the truth.

Only Lao Yinbi can understand Lao Yinbi, Dazai knows what Mori Ogai is going to say even if he doesn't answer the phone, it can be seen that these two people have a tacit understanding.

But what is the significance of Mori Ogai's doing this?

If you really want to kill that HR, you can do it when I defected from the port of Mafia. He saved this man's life to remind me that I still have something in his hands.

So why did it suddenly start now, and Dazai was notified in advance to go to the Secret Service "just in case"?

Is it to show my favor?Or did Dazai and Mori Ogai make another deal?

I subconsciously felt that if Mori Ogai hadn't told me about it, I might never have known about it.

Maybe Dazai did a lot of things that I couldn't see.

I had lunch with Odasaku.

The novels he serialized in the magazine before won the Newcomer Award. Although the list has not been officially announced, his editor has already given it a letter of approval.

"Then we must celebrate!" When the curry rice was on the table, I eagerly asked, "What kind of celebration do you like?"

Odasaku thought for a while, and his eyes were attracted by the curry rice that was just served on the table: "It's okay to celebrate with curry rice, or not to celebrate."

In other words, the rookie award is not as attractive as a plate of spicy curry.

"It's not that I don't value this award. I just think that all awards are just a foil. Even if I don't win an award, I will continue to write. What I love is just writing."

After a pause, Odasaku said vaguely:

"Before I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you that I almost gave up writing novels."

I opened my eyes wide and froze.

I don't know about this at all, and Odasaku never said anything about it.

"Give up? Why?"

"Because I killed Gide." Odasaku tilted his head slightly, half smiling and half sighing: "I always thought that if I plundered human lives again, I would lose my qualifications to write novels, so after Gide's death, I once Thinking I was going to put down my pen and stop writing. Luckily I didn’t really give up.”

"Why did you change your mind?"

"Well... Dazai encouraged me. After that battle, I suggested that he go to the camp of saving lives. At that time, I didn't think I would survive, so I said that. Later, when I wanted to give up Dazai said to me: 'Let's all try, I try to be a good person, you try to regain your dreams.'”

"So I gave it a try, and then there was a magazine serial and a newcomer award."

I fell silent, my thoughts were racing, and I asked what I always thought I wanted to ask, but didn't ask because of various reasons: "Is the work between you and Dazai difficult?"

The word "difficult" is of course not difficult. For these two people, no matter how difficult the task is, they can easily solve it.

I think Odasaku should understand what I mean.

"It's fine for me, but Dazai..."

Odasaku paused for a few seconds, and continued: "You know, for Dazai, as long as he wants to, he can reach cooperation with anyone, and he can also complete any seemingly impossible tasks. He just has this ability" .

"But in fact, Dazai has always been quite at a loss. When he first arrived in the rescue camp, he was very at a loss and didn't know what to do. He habitually solved problems according to the previous thinking. But now he is slowly adapting and doing well. It's pretty good."

I listened quietly, and the protagonist narrated by Oda Tsukuru was both familiar and unfamiliar.

What is familiar is that no matter what difficulties the protagonist encounters, on the surface, he always seems to be able to handle it with ease; what is strange is that only he himself knows the invisible bumps and growth along the way, and those difficult mental journeys.

He's going to be a very good man, right?

Will he become the predecessor and guide of lost souls, the best friend and companion, and the strongest line of defense in this world?

Most definitely.

In the end, I took out a bag of candy for the children, and picked out the one with the best color. The transparent cellophane wrapped round fruit candies, reflecting crystal-like brilliance in the sun.

"Odasaku, if I'm not in Yokohama this Christmas, please give this candy to Dazai for me."

Odasaku turned his head, and his tone was slightly puzzled: "It's summer now, and Christmas is still far away."

Then he seemed to understand something: "What are you going to do?"

"Well, one important thing. I'm not sure when I'm going to leave, it could be sudden, it could be before Christmas, it could be after that; it could be done before Christmas, or it could take a long time... None of this can be determined.”

I put the candy into Odasaku's palm.

"So I'll give you this in advance. If I'm not here at Christmas, you can pass it to him for me, and he will understand."

After leaving the western restaurant at Uncle’s house, I sent a message to Mr. Ango:

[The living and dead ghosts of the Supernatural Secret Service Division:

Mr. Ango, does Dazai have work today? 】

After a while, I get a response:

[As long as the work is not dead, work to the death:

I didn't have it at first, but today I suddenly asked for work, which shocked me. 】

Sure enough, I went "just in case".

Just as I was about to put away my phone, a new message came from Mr. Ango:

【I asked before, there are people with supernatural powers who can erase memories in the 'Seventh Agency'. Didn't you say you wanted to erase your mother's memory about you?When are you planning to go? 】

[The living and dead ghosts of the Supernatural Secret Service Division:

I won't show up, Mr. Ango, please, go there for me, the time is set for next Thursday, can you? 】

Mr. Ango seems to have some doubts about the time of "next Thursday":

[Does it have to be on that day? 】

Then he reacted again:

【Isn't that... your birthday? 】

[The living and dead ghosts of the Supernatural Secret Service Division:

That's right, Mr. Ango, have you prepared your birthday present yet?I only accept expensive ones~]

I didn't receive a reply for a long time, so I stared at the phone screen: "No way, if you talk about expensive gifts, ignore me?"

The beep suddenly sounded again:

[OK, I will give you a set of the most expensive simulation volume. 】

"..."

I dragged Mr. Ango into the blacklist with a blank face.

Going back to the home page, I saw Dazai's name lying in the friend list, and I paused.

Click on his name, I thought about it, and changed a note for him—【Zai Meow】

The warm orange sunset falls on the park in the middle of the street, like a huge orange, one bite seems to taste the sweet juice.

There is a stall on the side of the road selling cloud-like cotton candy and iced sparkling water, and the air is filled with the sweet smell of orange.

I bought marshmallows and ate them while sitting on a park bench, sending a message to Dazai while eating.

[Zai Miaomiao, what are you doing? 】

I don't know if he was fishing, but he returned very quickly:

[Zai Miaomiao is working, the sun is so hot, I want to jump into the river to cool off. 】

【Hate work, can Yuguo raise Zai Miaomiao (*T▽T*)/】

I looked up and saw that the end was about to come. I couldn't feel the setting sun at all. I lowered my head again, and my eyes stayed on the "cat crying" emoji he posted for a few seconds, and hesitantly sent a sentence:

[Is the job difficult? 】

The other party responded quickly:

【It doesn't bother me, it's just...】

【only? 】

[Zai Miaomiao just wants to blow on the air conditioner and eat supper made by Guoguo~]

I smiled, and finally typed the next line——

[Come back early, add chicken legs to Zai Miaomiao for supper tonight. 】

It may be that the marshmallows are too sweet, so I accidentally added another sentence:

[I don't have any other cats. 】
