After becoming a chaotic daughter

One should not overestimate one's abilities.

Holding a cut piece of brown fabric in one hand and small scissors in the other, Nanako turned her little head, looked left and right, then put down her hand and put the two things back in place—— The scissors were stuffed back into the sewing box, the fabric was put back into the gap at the collar of the cloak, the sewing box and the cloak were put together on the sofa, and with a stern face, he climbed off the sofa calmly.

Then he ran away with a bang.

Seeing the two little radish heads running away one after another, the clerk:? ? ?

Suddenly, she was the only one left in the small reception room, along with the cloak and sewing box that were "properly" placed on the sofa, and the sound of the door of the detective agency being opened and shut with a clang came from outside. There was a slight sound, and the office area where no one was there suddenly became quieter, except for her, a living person.

Miss Clerk belatedly realized something was wrong.

An empty detective agency, with a sewing box and a cut cape in front of her, and she was the only one standing in front of the sofa—why did this scene look so like she cut it up while no one was around? Mr. Ranpo's cape?

Although in fact this matter has nothing to do with her... Maybe there is some small relationship, the clerk felt a little guilty for some reason, she hesitated, and kept the "crime scene" untouched, and then pretended that everything was wrong As if nothing happened, I went back to the office area to sort out the files.

After all, proper pretending to be blind is also one of the necessary skills for workplace survival.

*******

Nanako is thinking about a small problem that may affect the rest of her life.

If she and the little cloak fall into the water at the same time, Dad will save her first... No, I made a mistake, it should be that if she cuts Ranbu's little cloak, Luanbu will throw away the cut little cloak , or her cheap daughter with a broken cape?

As it stands now, she can remove the "if" that represents the assumption, because she really cut the little cape of Ranbu.

The matter of cutting the cloak was a small "accident" completely out of Nanako's expectation. She just miscalculated her sewing ability, thinking that mending the cloak was similar to mending the broken strap of the schoolbag, and then He also miscalculated the ability of his short hands to control the scissors, and accidentally cut the collar of the small cloak too far.

But as the saying goes, "Tomorrow or the accident, you will never know which will come first." Nanako also does not know "Which will return to the detective agency first, the father whose cloak was cut or the almighty handicraft master Kunikida."

As a high-achieving student who skipped a grade and was recommended to Tokyo University at a young age, Kunikida's unique talents are not limited to textbook knowledge and document processing. He can also follow the cultivation manual to grow onions, raise garlic, cut paper, and make tin dolls out of cans. Nanako's He helped with [-] out of [-] homework in practice class and handicraft class. Presumably such a trivial matter as mending clothes is definitely not a problem for Kunikida.If Kunikida came back before the idiot father, he might be able to salvage the cut cape.

Although it is said that Nanako's small treasury has already saved almost 200 million yen, she does not really want to be thrown away by Ranpo for the time being, so she earnestly prayed that Kunikida would come back first, and then picked up the money in front of her. Sitting in front of the bar in the coffee shop, she began to concentrate on eating her strawberry cake.

Sitting next to her, Gogol was also poking holes in his lava cake with a spoon in his hand, the chocolate sauce bursting out of the cake dripped all over the plate, and the whole cake was messed up by him of.

jingle--,

The door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and the edge of the door hit the wind chime, causing a burst of crisp bells.

"I'm so exhausted—Auntie, please bring me a sweet curry...When will those useless guys in the military and police grow up a little bit? The time of a famous detective is very precious, and he can't even arrange patrol work Well, I still have to come and clean up the mess for them."

The boy didn't lower his voice to complain from the door, and the waiter aunt who was cleaning the table smiled and said hello, and went into the back kitchen with a rag.The two little radish heads who were sitting at the bar and eating the cake froze, and stopped in mid-air with spoons in their hands.

"The recent situation is indeed a bit grim. Dr. Yosano and Dr. Yosano are still working on the aftermath on the side of the warehouse street, and there was an armed fight in the residential area to the north last night..." Following Ranpo, Kunikida was in the middle of speaking, He saw Nanako and Gogol sitting in front of the bar, he paused for a moment, then continued without paying attention, "The recent actions of the mafia have become more and more rampant, if there is no restriction -"

"That kind of thing is the work of the government, and it's useless for the detective agency to say it." Ranpo waved his hand indifferently, interrupted his words, then pulled away the stool next to Nanako, and sat down.

"Shop Manager, I want a glass of lemonade." He raised his head and shouted at the shop manager. While speaking, he reached for a spoon from the bar, dug a spoonful of Nanako's strawberry cake into his mouth, and stretched out Crossing his arm, he also took a spoonful of lava cake from Gogol's plate.

Kunikida also sat down on the other side of Ranpo. He ordered a cup of coffee with the store manager, and then continued to chat with Ranpo about work.Nanako can understand most of their conversations, probably about what the mafia and other illegal organizations have done recently, such as fighting, robbing, bombing, smuggling and buying arms... some words that I didn't understand before, recently in the conversations among members The frequency of occurrences suddenly increased, and Nanako could guess the general meaning.

Eating the cake with her head buried in silence, Nanako tried her best to swallow the cake that usually took 10 minutes to swallow in 5 minutes, took out a 500 yen coin from her small pocket and put it on the table. She climbed off the stool without making a sound, trying to sneak away, but Luanbu suddenly called her:

"Nanako—"

"...!" Nanako, who had just climbed off the stool, was startled, her soft little hands were still on the stool, and she shivered like a frightened cat.

But the next sentence of Luanbu changed again, and he changed his name to Gogol: "Forget it, Gogol, go to the bookstore on the street and help me buy the latest issue of Comic Weekly."

"Yes—" Gogol didn't have the slightest look of guilty conscience that he did something bad not long ago, and his tone was exaggerated and elongated. With a relaxed and happy smile on his face, he jumped off the chair and walked casually The change thrown at him pushed the door open and went out.

【... Guoguoli ran away. 】

Still maintaining the posture that she had just climbed off the stool, Nanako supported the top of the stool, her fluffy head drooped, and looked slowly to both sides of the stool, wondering if she could run away too.

She also wanted to run away, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed useless to run away. After all, the idiot father always wanted to go back to the detective agency, and he came back with Kunikida, so she couldn't go and find Kunikida first. The torn cloak was mended.

She stood on the edge of the high stool, biting her fingers, and thought about it seriously without moving, but she didn't realize that it was not just the chaotic steps on the side, but even Kunikida had noticed her strange movements, and cast her eyes on her.

After thinking for a minute, Nanako finally came up with a "good way" to "get the best of both worlds"—the kind where she would not be thrown away, and neither would the little cloak.

"Father." She raised her expressionless face, and looked at Ranbu unblinkingly with her round dark eyes.

【Oh, I got into trouble. 】

Ranbu, who had already guessed the reason, thought in his heart that the waiter aunt just came over with curry. He took the curry, picked up the spoon, and replied in a casual tone: "Huh?"

Nanako is still working hard to organize the sentences in her mind, trying to make her tone appear more natural-although her usual tone of speech doesn't seem to match the word "natural" at all.

"Can you, give me your cloak?" she asked Ranpo.

【Oh, the trouble I caused was related to the cloak. 】

Thinking of the cloak that was cut by a knife when he went out in the morning, Ranpo was quite sure what happened in the short two hours after he left the detective agency in the afternoon.

But he still pretended he didn't notice anything, scooped up a large spoonful of curry, handed it to Nanako, watched her open her mouth, took a small bite, and then stuffed the remaining half of the spoonful into his mouth , Feeling the rich sweetness of sweet curry in his mouth, he chewed the rice and said vaguely: "Why do you want that?"

Swallowing all the curry and rice in her mouth, Nanako said slowly, "The cloak is torn, and Dad bought a new one to wear. I want the old one, so I can cover it when I take a nap... the cloak is comfortable. "

A very well-organized sentence composed of a few short sentences, obviously thought through several times in his head before he said it, and it was no accident that Luan Bu had the thought of "it really is so" in his heart——[Oh, the broken one The cloak was more torn. 】

He scooped up another spoonful of curry and fed it to Nanako, who still only ate a small bite from the tip of the spoon.As a good father, facing the idiot daughter who tried hard to cover up after getting into trouble, Edogawa Ranpo decided to let her know what is called "the heart of the adult world is sinister", and you can't just fool around if you do something wrong!

So he said casually in a tone of indifference: "Then you can take it yourself after you return to the detective agency. Dad will take you to buy new clothes on weekends."

Nanako lowered her shoulders slightly, a sign of relief.Luanbu took a sip of lemonade, inserted another straw, brought the lemonade in front of Nanako, watched her bite the straw and took two small sips, then took the lemonade away and put it on the table. Gently colliding with the wooden tabletop, there was a light "click" sound that made people feel comfortable.

In the relaxed and quiet atmosphere, with a glass-like calm tone without ups and downs and emotions, he suddenly said: "Who held the scissors?"

Nanako, who was seriously considering how to get the torn cloak normally without getting caught by Ranpo, heard the question and subconsciously replied, "Guo Guoli."

"Kunikida, let Gogol stand for 10 minutes to reflect, and tell Ms. Yosano that he stole things from the infirmary again." After getting the answer, he turned his head and said to Kunikida who was behind him.

Kunikida pushed his glasses and replied seriously: "Yes."

Nanako: "..."

She walked obediently and very consciously to the corner of the coffee shop, facing the corner, standing with her head down, looking serious and introspective.

Why was it discovered? ...Could it be that her stupid father has become smarter because of working too much overtime recently?

Nanako scratched her little head, thinking about this question seriously.

Just wanting to teach Nanako "remember to find someone to take the blame for when you get into trouble", but she didn't intend to make her stand in disorder: "..."

His stupid daughter still doesn't look very bright today.

The author has something to say:

Nanako who tried to beat around the bush and failed to mess up the chaotic step: Dad seems to be a little smarter ●. ●

I found that my daughter learned to beat around the bush to fool people: My daughter seems to be getting smarter... No, it's an illusion, she didn't get smarter—_—
