The cursed girl is not disqualified in the world

"Are you the redhead who convinced the idiot Aji for half an hour?"

Oda Sakunosuke remembered that this was the first sentence the little lady said to him.

"It doesn't look like much. But if you can convince the idiot Aji for half an hour, it proves that there is indeed something unusual about you, so please become a substitute for the idiot Azhi in the future."

This is the second sentence that the young lady said to Sakunosuke Oda, a complete statement.

Even if it is impolitely shortened to 'red hair', the red-haired Oda Sakunosuke did not show the slightest sign of anger. He looked down at the girl who was just above his waist and below his chest, and spoke in a calm and sincere tone. Ask: "Why would I want to be someone else's stand-in?"

From the perspective of Oda Sakunosuke, the young lady did not answer his question immediately, but frowned her slender willow eyebrows, and the other party looked at him from top to bottom with clear, crystal-like purple eyes After a while, the concubine's red lips parted slightly: "You should kneel down and talk to me."

'Is it because I'm too tall? '

Words like white mist flashed across Oda Sakunosuke's heart, and then he squatted obediently on the ground with a blank face, at a height slightly lower than the horizontal line where the eyes of the two sides met, with unwavering gaze He stared intently at the little lady with pink hair.

The unknown pink-haired lady nodded in satisfaction at Oda Sakunosuke's understanding of current affairs, she slightly parted her concubine's red lips again, and patiently corrected the former killer's misunderstanding: "It's not about becoming someone else's substitute, it's about becoming someone else's substitute. A stand-in for the idiot Aji."

'Stupid Aji? '

A palm wrapped in a white and dry bandage appeared in Oda Sakunosuke's mind, and he suddenly realized: "Does 'Aji' refer to the kind-hearted person who gave me the old work written by Natsume Soseki?"

"Yes." The pink-haired young lady nodded affirmatively, "The person who gave you the book is Azhi, and you will be Azhi's substitute."

'Become Aji's stand-in', this is the third time the pink-haired lady said it. It seems that the kind boy is really important to her, and Oda Sakunosuke realized this.

The former killer said: "I am no longer a hired killer."

The pink-haired young lady grasped the loopholes in Oda Sakunosuke's words very keenly. She didn't care about the other party's rejection, and continued to express her purpose of blocking Oda Sakunosuke very firmly: "If you don't become a hired killer, that is Say you don't have a job yet?"

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, he couldn't refute this at all, and he couldn't think of a reason to refute.

"You are Aji's stand-in, and I will pay you." Following the words, the safe was thrown into the arms of Oda Sakunosuke. It was heavy, and he could tell that there were a lot of banknotes in the box by the feel of his hand.As a killer, he still has judgment in this regard.

This is the first time I have encountered such a generous person, before the work has started, and even before the two parties have discussed the task, I got a large amount of remuneration very easily, and it was still without any water and no commission. The remuneration, even if it was as natural as Oda Sakunosuke, was shocked.

Falling into a state of aphasia, Oda Sakunosuke missed the best time to reject the "substitute plan" proposed by the other party. When he came back to his senses, the pink-haired lady had disappeared into the sun, and the ear Only the last sentence of the other party is left.

"Mr. Odasaku...Mr. Odasaku..."

Atsushi Nakajima's call awakened Sakunosuke Oda from his memories. Facing the concerned face of his younger generation, the former assassin, who was already an old employee of the Armed Detective Agency, naturally concealed his regret. He picked up the pen that was at hand , intending to finish the unfinished manuscript.

Atsushi Nakajima, who didn't get a response from his senior, scratched the back of his head, and said hesitantly, "...was Mr. Odasaku feeling sorry just now?"

Facing the beast-like intuition of the younger generation, Oda Sakunosuke realized that he could not continue writing today's novel, so he kept his face as still as a mountain, and put down the pen with extra joy.

Oda Sakunosuke put his hands on the table, while relaxing the muscles in his arms, he answered various questions from the junior who was aroused by his curiosity.

"I regret that I didn't ask that little lady's mission in detail at that time."

Realizing that Sakunosuke Oda was answering his previous question, Atsushi Nakajima shook his forehead bangs: "Mission?"

Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "Well, the task. The little lady paid me [-] million yen in one lump sum as a reward for the task."

Atsushi Nakajima opened his mouth wide: "[-] million yen!"

His sharp exclamation echoed in the office of the Armed Detective Agency, and the exaggerated amount of remuneration made their conversation instantly become the center of everyone's curiosity.

Oda Sakunosuke, who was immediately surrounded by his colleagues, sat in his seat calmly, without being bothered by the glances of the people around him.

The gentle and reliable Haruno Haruko asked the question on behalf of everyone: "Did Mr. Dazai's fiancée really pay Mr. Odasaku [-] million yen as a reward for the mission?"

A sentence that is not too short, there is no sign of sentence breaks during the period, and the words without a single punctuation mark show the curiosity of everyone who can't wait to know the truth of the matter.

Oda Sakunosuke nodded again: "Yes, that [-] million yen solved many of my problems. It was also because of the generosity of that young lady that I was spared the trouble of being hungry."

"And it also made Oda Saku give up his plan to go to the port mafia to be a low-level staff, and after that he started to learn how to write novels." An unexpected voice came in, it was Edogawa Ranpo, he gave Oda Sakunosuke Explanation is added.

Atsushi Nakajima, the curious baby of the Fauvism, went online again: "Oh? Could it be that Mr. Ranpo knew Mr. Odasaku before?"

Otherwise, how would you know what happened to Mr. Odasaku several years ago?

Edogawa paddled his legs and turned the swivel chair under him half a circle. He turned his face out of the window, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on his face through the transparent glass, shining the world's number one detective. More and more excellent temperament, full of youthful feeling.

"Such a simple thing can be known at a glance." The tone was taken for granted.

Ordinary members of the Armed Detective Agency, represented by Haruno Kirako, also took up the conversation very naturally: "As expected of Mr. Ranpo, you are really very powerful."

Realizing that he had asked a stupid question, Atsushi Nakajima was slightly embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head, which had become a chicken coop, and apologized embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ranpo, I didn't remember for a while that your reasoning ability is the world's best. Strong."

"Forget it, who made Ranpo-sama the number one detective in the world, please forgive your unintentional act this time." Edogawa Ranpo waved his hand generously, not caring about Atsushi Nakajima's gaffe.Obviously, Atsushi Nakajima's words 'Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning ability is the strongest in the world' pleased Edogawa Ranpo very well.

Oda Sakunosuke, who was so natural that he believed that Edogawa Ranpo's reasoning ability was within a reasonable range, once again fulfilled the obligation of his predecessors well. He helped answer the question that Atsushi Nakajima asked Edogawa Ranpo: "I and Ranpo Bu-kun did know each other a few years ago. In fact, I was invited by Ranpo-kun to join the Armed Detective Agency."

"Huh?!!!" It was the first time Tanizaki Junichiro and his younger sister Tanizaki Naomi showed the same shocked face when they heard about this kind of thing.

Oda Sakunosuke, who broke the news, looked innocently at the two siblings who were huddled together, and asked in puzzlement, "It's hard to understand, didn't I say it before?"

Tanizaki Junichiro and Tanizaki Naomi said in unison: "I never said that!"

"Is that so." Oda Sakunosuke took the question over very easily.

Facing the old senior's natural and unaffected behavior, Naomi Tanizaki puffed up her face in dissatisfaction: "Mr. Odasaku doesn't feel guilty at all for hiding important things from us."

"Ah." Oda Sakunosuke, who didn't realize that he needed to feel guilty at all, asked honestly, "Is this kind of thing important?"

This time Atsushi Nakajima joined the team of the Tanizaki brothers and sisters, and the three loudly complained about the unreliability of the old senior: "Of course this kind of thing is important!"

As a girl, Tanizaki Naomi, who has more delicate emotions, also added: "Knowing more about everyone in the detective agency will help us newcomers to better understand the history of the detective agency, and it will also help us as newcomers. We integrated into the detective agency more quickly."

The tolerant Oda Sakunosuke decisively admitted his mistake: "Sorry, I didn't realize this before, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Then..." Strike while the iron is hot, Tanizaki Naomi intends to make persistent efforts to try to get more information about the detective agency and the [-] million yen fiancée Miss from the mouth of the honest senior, but her words were interrupted.

Relying on the ingenuity of his upper body, Edogawa Ranpo turned the front of the swivel chair to the crowd: "Odasaku, it's time for you to meet with the editor."

He stretched out his index finger and pointed to the wall clock hanging high on the wall.

Oda Sakunosuke followed Edogawa Ranpo's fingers, the hour hand was pointing at three o'clock in the afternoon, and he remembered that the time he agreed with the editor seemed to be '14:50'...

"Sorry, I'm going to meet with the editor now, I'm leaving first." Realizing that he was late for more than ten minutes, Oda Sakunosuke stood up with a 'bang', and he quickly pulled out the file bag that was stored in the drawer, He squeezed his hands in his palms and quickly ran downstairs.

'Fortunately, the meeting place agreed with the editor is the coffee shop downstairs of the detective agency. '

When running into the elevator, Oda Sakunosuke was sincerely thankful that he would not excessively increase the lateness.

A faint voice sounded, and when the elevator door closed, Oda Sakunosuke heard the last words of the pink-haired lady who had disappeared for a long time again in a trance.

"Oda Sakunosuke, I know you will not die, so please die for the idiot Aji, this is the task of the substitute."
