cat blues

Atsushi Nakajima's short story is a very simple story about a small incident that happened on campus. The content is youthful and has nothing to do with any dark or cruel things. Reading the whole story will only make people want to know Heart smile.

But that's enough, and that's fine.

It is different from Osamu Dazai who can easily see the darkness of the world and the hypocrisy of human nature. After experiencing the cruel treatment in the orphanage, Nakajima Atsushi still grew into a gentle, sunny and positive boy.

The articles he wrote are also full of tender touches unique to his age.

Atsushi Nakajima has completely walked out of another path, his own path, which is different from other people in the detective agency, and also different from "Atsushi Nakajima" from another world.That being the case, is there anything better than this?

The article was not long, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa finished it quickly. After reading it, he returned the notebook to Atsushi Nakajima, and gave him affirmative praise and minor suggestions on the choice of words and sentences.

Hearing the conversation between Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Akutagawa Ryunosuke over there, Yukichi the big cat showed a satisfied expression on his face. The big cat stretched out its soft cat claws and patted Nakajima Atsushi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke's heads at the same time .The picture of a big cat as if taking care of two kittens looks so warm and lovely.

"Ah, cunning!" Osamu Dazai couldn't help reaching out his hand and wanting to interfere, but Nakahara Chuya grabbed him.

Just when they were making a fuss, Haruno Kirako came out of the clerk's office, "Mr. Dazai, Mr. Nakahara, the president's phone number."

The two pushed each other, then stood up and walked towards the clerk's office.

And when they made a fuss, the two teenagers over there, who were a little immersed in the big cat's caress, immediately reacted. The thin-skinned teenagers coughed and turned to continue the topic just now.

"In short, just modify the sentence a little bit, and then you can submit the manuscript. I'll help you contact the editor. Iwanami Bookstore also has publications that serialize popular novels. Mr. Odasaku's first novel was published there." Ryu Akutagawa Nosuke said seriously.

"Well, thank you!" Atsushi Nakajima finished thanking him, and then sat back to help Akutagawa Yin organize the documents together.

"Huh? It's over?" Osamu Dazai, who came out of the clerk's office, raised his eyebrows curiously when he saw the situation outside.

"Are you going on a business trip again?" Edogawa Ranpo asked silently, nibbling on a milk biscuit, and he didn't know how he came to this conclusion.

"Well, I'm going to Nagoya." Dazai Osamu had a subtle expression on his face, "A young man was rescued from Kyoto yesterday. He is from Nagoya. According to what can be confirmed so far, But it didn’t go beyond the kidnapping cases in Kanto and Kansai, so how the boy from Nagoya was arrested needs to be confirmed.”

In short, it is to confirm whether the arrester is a criminal organization or a monster. If it is a monster, then it will be fine. After all, the monsters in Kyoto are almost wiped out. If it is a criminal organization, go and solve it.

Osamu Dazai rubbed his chin, "I think that kid is quite interesting. He is probably still in the hospital in Kyoto. In two days, we will go to Kyoto to find that kid, and then take him back to Nagoya."

"Hey, why you?" Oda Sakunosuke asked curiously.

"Because the Kyoto police are really out of action." Osamu Dazai shook his arm like seaweed, "And most of the people who were rescued had no other injuries except for being weak and frightened. The Golden Clan plans to Leave them a few more days for examination, and after confirming that there is nothing wrong with their bodies, they will collectively erase the relevant memories and put them back."

"Indeed, it's better not to make too much fanfare about the monsters." Oda Sakunosuke, who has watched Toriyama Shiyan's "Painting Hundred Ghosts at Night" for a long time, also agrees, "I think it seems that there are rumors. turned into a monster."

"The matter in Kyoto... has something to do with monsters?" Kirako Haruno, who had listened to it, had a shocked expression on her face. Before anyone could explain, she hastily put on her bag, turned around and ran away. , "I, I, I, I didn't hear anything, and I don't know anything! I'm off work first!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left in a hurry.

Edogawa Ranpo suddenly laughed and fell down on the seat, Dazai Osamu was also holding the wall suspiciously and shook it, only the people around him reacted, I don't know who said something, "Miss Haruno, are you afraid?" Ghost?"

"Fear of ghosts is not a very cute attribute, cough." Dazai Osamu said with a smile, and then he got a disapproving look from Akutagawa Gin, and he waved his hand quickly, "I really think this is a kind of trait. Very cute property!"

"Mr. Dazai, you should stop talking." Akutagawa Yin couldn't help but sighed and said, "Your current image of a playboy hasn't disappeared from my mind yet."

Osamu Dazai immediately showed a shocked expression, "How can you look at me like this, it's too much!"

Nakahara Chuya was still answering the phone at first, seeing Haruno Qi Luozi hurried in and leaving, he was a little baffled, but after hanging up the phone, he took the initiative to help the other party deal with the desk that had not been tidied up. He walked out of the door strangely, "What are you guys doing? Dazai, don't play tricks, when you go to Kyoto on Saturday, you have to bring the report too."

"Hey, hey, isn't this just giving me two days? Impossible, I absolutely can't do it!" Osamu Dazai directly performed a live performance of falling dead on the spot, lying on the ground and refusing to get up.

"Shut up, don't think I don't know you're playing tricks! In the final analysis, this kind of report to the Metropolitan Police Department only needs to be formatted correctly, and the rest only needs to change some keywords for each copy!" Nakahara Nakaya Angrily wanting to kick him, "Get up, don't pretend to be dead on the ground!"

"It's annoying, this kind of mechanical labor is not suitable for a mental worker like me!" Osamu Dazai saw that his partner really wanted to hit someone, so he reluctantly got up from the ground, complaining as he stood up go to work.

Zhong Ye was too lazy to get used to him, "You are not allowed to eat until you are done!"

"Hey? Chuya, you are too much!" Dazai Osamu showed a shocked expression of "how can you do this", and then turned his head to look at the big cat Yukichi who was completely out of shape, "Mr. Yukichi, don't you Will you help him?"

The big cat Yukichi looked at himself inexplicably, and finally made a fist and hit his palm. Dazai meant that it was time for dinner, right? Come.

Seeing the Yuji big cat who would go out in a wrong way, Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Forget it, let's have dinner first, and you are not allowed to run after dinner, hear me?"

Chuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai may have to spend the rest of the week in the pile of reports, and Yukichi the big cat can’t help. After all, it’s fine to write some chubby characters with a pen in the cat’s claws. I hope to use the cat’s claws It is really impossible to make a report.

So Yuji Damao turned his attention to the few children in the family, especially when he saw Atsushi Nakajima successfully wrote his own short story, he was looking forward to it.

Yukichi's expectation was so obvious that Atsushi Nakajima was a little embarrassed. When he went to school the next day, he could still feel the gratified eyes of his cat.

Nakajima Atsushi came to the classroom with some shame, and not long after he sat down, he saw the famous school figure sitting in front of him suddenly looking towards him, "Mr. Zhongjima, how about you? Have you considered my suggestion carefully ?"

"That... this name is too intimate, can you please change the way of addressing me? Just call me Atsushi." Atsushi Nakajima couldn't bear the other party's excessive enthusiasm, and quickly refused.

"Hey? Don't you think this name is super cute?" Kise Ryota showed dog eyes in shock.

"No, that..." Nakajima Atsushi could feel the strange eyes of the girls in the class looking over, he still bite the bullet and said, "I'm sorry Kise-kun, I'm sorry I can't agree to your invitation."

After saying the words, Atsushi Nakajima also heaved a sigh of relief, and he laughed, "Sorry, I am a member of the art club, and I usually have to work, so I may have to give up club activities for important things. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Hey? How did this happen?" Kise Ryota immediately lowered his head in frustration, and then became a little curious, "Speaking of which, our school allows part-time jobs in the first grade?"

"Kise-kun, this is Yokohama." The white-haired boy said to him with a smile.

Kise Ryota suddenly remembered that before he came to Kaito, Kaito's supervisor and seniors had warned him that he must not go to some places, and then thought of some things he heard about Yokohama when he was in Teiko High School in Tokyo. Rumors, because he didn't feel how chaotic it was after he came to Yokohama, so he just thought it was all nonsense. After all, the two cities are so close, how about Tokyo, and Yokohama should be almost the same That's right.

But now facing Atsushi Nakajima's speech as a matter of course and the students around him who didn't think there was anything wrong with his speech, Kise Ryota suddenly had a sense of Yokohama's unbelievable reality.

"Ah, oh, I, I see." Kise Ryota hurriedly nodded to express her understanding, and then turned back helplessly.

When he turned back, all sorts of weird thoughts popped up in his head, which was easy to think too much, and the image of Atsushi Nakajima in his mind suddenly changed into that of a poor family. poor children working hard to go to school.

Woohoo, Atsushi Nakajima feels so pitiful, but if this is the case, you really can't force him to play basketball.

Kise Ryota's thoughts continued until he went to the basketball club. When he saw Yukio Kasamatsu, the head of the basketball department, he bowed decisively at 90 degrees, "I'm sorry, the minister, the person I promised to recommend yesterday can't come. Already!"

"Huh?" In fact, Yukio Kasamatsu, who didn't take his words too seriously, gave him a strange look, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Actually..." Ryota Kise immediately added a lot of things about Atsushi Nakajima.

Yukio Kasamatsu realized that there was something wrong with his words after listening halfway through, and he had to use physical means to interrupt Kise Ryota's eloquent words, "Tell me the key points!"

"Yes, Atsushi Nakajima has to work part-time to support himself, so he can't come to the basketball club." Feeling the elbow hit on his abdomen, Kise Ryo said in pain, "Senior Kasamatsu, you are too good for such a heavy hand!"

"Who told you to be so rambunctious? It's something that can be explained clearly in one sentence. You insist on talking about it!" Kasamatsu Yukio glanced at him, unmoved at all, he knew exactly how hard he would strike Soon, the head of the basketball department changed into his sports clothes, closed the door of the locker, and said, "Isn't it just a part-time job? Why are you talking about so many messy things?"

"Cough, Kasamatsu-senpai, can you work part-time in Yokohama at the age of 15?" Kise Ryota, who is only a freshman in high school, asked curiously, "In Tokyo, it seems that you can only be allowed to work at the age of 16."

"Ah, this is Yokohama after all." Yukio Kasamatsu tugged at his collar, "Besides, don't you also have a part-time job as a model?"

"Is 'This is Yokohama' some kind of weird omnipotent answer?Part-time modeling is different. "Kise Ryota felt a little depressed, but he was more curious about the meaning behind this sentence, so waited until the next day, from a certain point of view, Kise Ryota took the initiative to ask and sat behind him Atsushi Nakajima, "Chinese pro! "

"Kise-kun, please don't call me such a name." Atsushi Nakajima's scalp was numb from this address, he took out his homework book and handed it over with some helplessness, and said, "Your Mandarin homework yesterday Did you not do it? If you want to copy, please hurry up, or the committee will come to collect the homework after work."

Although Atsushi Nakajima always said that the other party is a man of the school, in fact, he and Yin Akutagawa can be regarded as famous people in the school, but their fame is because of their good grades. As a school in Yokohama and even Schools in Kanagawa Prefecture, where the deviation values ​​are all on the high side, naturally have a school opening test, which is simply anti-human in the eyes of the students.

And it was Akutagawa Yin and Nakajima Atsushi who got the first and second place in this opening test.

In such a school that generally pays attention to the rate of enrollment, those with good grades will naturally receive more attention and preferential treatment from teachers. On the contrary, Ryota Kise, although he was specially recruited because of basketball , but his grades were taken in such a very embarrassing position as 375th out of 298 students in the whole grade.

This made Kise Ryota excited for a long time after discovering that there was a bully sitting behind his desk, and because of this (you can copy homework), Kise Ryota treated his back desk with special enthusiasm.

"I did my homework by myself, and speaking of which, you are as good at Mandarin as my former good friend Hei Ziqin." Although Kise Ryota has already done his homework, he can see the boss before handing it in. He is still very happy with the homework.

"Dear Heizi?" Atsushi Nakajima was a little puzzled. The word "Heizi" is indeed a bit rare as a surname.

"Tetsuya Kuroko, a good friend from the middle ages of our country." Ryota Kise flipped through the homework a little bit, and found that he had written several questions wrongly, so he quickly took out a pen to correct them. Six people."

"Uh..." Hearing the other party say such a name, Atsushi Nakajima recalled the time when everyone in the detective agency was once dominated by countless secondary titles when they first received the Yanbo Award, he shook his head. Head, "Sorry, I didn't care about basketball before. After all, the Lihai University where I used to be was better at tennis."

"Tennis, I've also heard that there was a super-famous talented player in Rikkai two years ago, who seems to be Yukimura Seiichi." I played tennis for two days in middle school, because Teiko's resources were all concentrated When it came to the basketball team, Teiko's tennis team was depleted of talent, so Kise Ryota stopped playing after a few days and found it boring, but even so, he had heard of Yukimura Seichi's name, so it can be seen Li Haida's prestige.

"Yes, Senior Yukimura is the pride of all our Lihai college students." Atsushi Nakajima now sees him a lot more pleasing to the eye. Atsushi Nakajima is no less than anyone else.

"It's amazing, then I will become the pride of Kaicho High School students!" Kise Ryota said confidently.

"Before you say those things, Kise-kun, you must at least improve your academic performance. Yukimura-kun's academic performance has always been at the top of the grade." Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help but hit him and said.

"You are too much, dear." Huang Lai Ryota lay down on the table and made a somewhat self-defeating voice, "Damn it, why can't the exercises be like basketball? It would be nice if you can understand something at a glance."

"So please don't call me that!" Atsushi Nakajima was helpless.

At this time, the class committee came to collect the homework, and the class bell rang after the collection, but it was not until noon that Kise Ryota found a chance to talk to Atsushi Nakajima behind him.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the big and exaggerated bento box of his classmate, and he suddenly became a little curious, "Didn't you say you want to work part-time? Is it really okay to bring such a luxurious bento every day?"

"I think you may have thought something wrong." Atsushi Nakajima showed a helpless look, "I am indeed working, but it is out of my own will, and my guardian takes great care of us."

"Guardian?" Kise Ryota noticed the strangeness in his words and asked curiously.

"Well, guardian, I'm an orphan." Nakajima Atsushi opened the three-layer bento in his hand. He was able to eat more than ordinary people. After entering high school, Yuji Big Cat worried that his nutrition could not keep up with his physical development. He prepares various delicacies.

"Orphan?" Kise Ryota compared his own bento box with the other's, and felt that he probably picked it up at home, which made him even more unbelievable at the other's words.

"Yes..." Atsushi Nakajima was able to say these things in a calm and generous manner, "It's just that I'm different from ordinary orphans. My luck is very good. It was the president who took me in who had nowhere to go. Mr. Ji still takes care of me so seriously."

It's just that the person who took care of it was a little unexpected.

Atsushi Nakajima remembered that although his white tiger liked to be close to the big black cat, he was always easily asked by the other party to do things that the tiger could not do. Whenever this happened, the white tiger would come back very depressed and replace him. Go out and help Yuji big cat.

"Well, I don't understand at all." Kise Ryota said decisively.

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly felt an overwhelming urge.

"Then, Zhongqin, where you work is your guardian's club?" Although he didn't understand, Kise Ryota still caught the point.

Atsushi Nakajima nodded, "What's wrong?"

"No, I'm just curious." Kise Ryota patted his head.

"Kise-kun is also a part-time model, right? Why are you so curious about my part-time job?" Nakajima Atsushi was helpless, "Aside from me, there are many people in the class who also work outside?"

"Modeling is different. The work of a model is very different from ordinary part-time jobs." Ryota Kase took the initiative to educate his classmates, "Modeling is a bit close to being an artist. For an artist, no matter how old you are It’s all right, and the age of idol selection is getting younger and younger. Besides, even for modeling work, my agency has always been very careful, and the working hours per week will not exceed 16 hours.”

"So that's the case. In my case, I should be regarded as...a high school student detective?" Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help jokingly said, remembering the news he just read in the newspaper yesterday.

"what?"

Kise Ryo, who was taken aback by Nakajima Atsushi's words, was so curious all afternoon that he was a little absent-minded even during training. After being caught twice by Minister Kasamatsu Yukio, Kise boy got a slap in the face.

"Kasamatsu-senpai, are there any high school detectives in Yokohama?" Kise Ryota couldn't help asking.

"Huh? What kind of nonsense are you asking?" Kasamatsu Yukio couldn't help but wonder, "There are so many detective agencies in Yokohama, what do you need high school detectives for?"

"Are there many detective agencies in Yokohama?" Kise Ryo became curious.

"Ah, there are quite a few, but most of them are not serious places." As a native of Yokohama, Yukio Kasamatsu knows a lot more about this than Ryo Kise, "I really want to go because of lost items. If you entrust a detective to help you find it, you'd better go to the police station and ask if there is any recommended detective agency, don't run around by yourself, you know?"

"And we have the most powerful detective in the world in Yokohama, so we don't need a high school student detective who sounds half-baked." The second-year player Hayakawa beside him said with enthusiasm.

"The most powerful detective in the world?" Kise Ryota felt a strong curiosity, "That might be the place where Chuqin works!"

"Don't be silly, that's the detective agency where the famous detective Edogawa Ranpo works, even in Yokohama, it's a legend." Yutaka Moriyama, who was already in the third grade, said with a smile.

"Detective Edogawa Ranpo?" Kise Ryo was extremely curious.

"Don't you guys read the news?" The other members were speechless to him.
