[Bungo Stray Dogs] Banxia Nocturne

【Chapter 3】Freedom to go, freedom to stay

"Hmm... eh, today's special dessert? Well, I want that one too! Well, that's all, please, Kaihara-san~"

When Kunikida was carrying a dozen copies of documents upstairs, he heard Edogawa's phone call, and he couldn't help sighing helplessly. Would you like to buy some more snacks?He admitted that the dim sum in that shop was indeed delicious, but the dim sum could not be eaten as a meal, but Lian and Yosano also had a good time eating along with him.That bastard Dazai was gone at a time like this, and Atsushi probably lost his mind and said some inexplicable things, obviously he was so busy for him...

Thinking of this, he put the document on the table vigorously, rubbed the space between his brows, "Anyone is fine, come and help..."

The laughter of the three people directly interrupted his words, so that he had to pat the table to attract the attention of the three of them, and he didn't even realize that his voice was almost roaring, "Let's put the snacks aside first, let's do it quickly Get down to business!!"

"Ding Ling!" Bei Yuan dialed the bell of the bicycle, and quickly passed through the streets and alleys, until the last crossroad had to stop because the signal light turned red.

"Woo..." She wiped the sweat off her forehead, squinted her eyes and looked at the coffee shop in front of her, "Well, it should be here, the detective agency should be on the second floor." Unlike the scorching sun in spring, she was full of irritability, "I wish I could sit there for a while with the air conditioner."

The distance between the pastry shop and the detective agency is not far, only one tram stop away, but Kaihara chose to ride a bicycle to deliver the goods, which still took a little time.

After crossing the road, Bei Yuan turned over and got out of the car with a quick brake. After locking the car on the fire hydrant on the side, she picked up the packed snack box and walked upstairs slowly.Before reaching the second floor, she heard a roar, and she couldn't help but lament how energetic the young people are nowadays, "I mean, I looked a little like that mascot boy just running over?" ’ Thinking so, she raised her hand and knocked on the door of the detective agency: "Excuse me, Huaxi (はならぎ) snack!"

"Hay!" There were three uneven responses from inside the room, and then the door was opened by a blond young man, "Please come in..."

Ah, this voice, is it the person who roared just now?Bei Yuan, who followed through the door, sized up the young man in front of him with great interest, seeing his braided braid, he felt the urge to pull it.However, he seemed to have noticed her gaze, and turned his head to look at her, "Thanks for your hard work, Miss Beiyuan." Beiyuan nodded, and gently placed the snack box on the table by the window in Edogawa, and the three heads quickly moved together past.She got up and looked at it with a smile, and said, "Two portions of water yangkan and one portion of summer orange candy cost 3440 yuan in total. May I ask who will pay for it?"

After a brief silence, the four of them looked at Kunikida at the same time.

The hand that Kunikida pushed the glasses froze in the air: "...Me?!"

Yosano picked up a piece of water yokan and played with his fingertips, and shrugged at him with a light smile: "Please, Kunikida-kun."

"I didn't pay for your snacks in my plan today!!"

Bei Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard their dispute, but suddenly felt the violent fluctuation of the airflow and her pupils shrank suddenly, "A lot of people!" She frowned and looked towards the door, "It shouldn't be an ordinary commissioned work or a guest... Could it be an attack?" ! ' Turning her head to look at the few people who seemed to be unaware of the fight, she held her chin in confusion, 'Do you want to remind me?But in case... Isn't this exposing yourself..." She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head and made up her mind, and said seriously: "Ah, Kunikida-kun, Does the detective agency have any customers today? The number of people outside the door...is quite a lot."

"What?!" Hearing the words, the three people who were arguing stopped instantly and dispersed. Kunikida raised his eyes and looked sharply at the door, which seemed to be able to penetrate the wooden door. After a while, he turned his head slightly and said in a low voice, "Be careful."

Before the words fell, a group of people rushed into the room with the loud sound of the door breaking, "Oh, I didn't expect to be discovered by everyone in the detective agency." The old man wearing a monocle headed by said with a smile, "Excuse me, knowing that It was the detective agency who forgot to make an appointment in advance and forgot to knock on the door."

"Ah, this is troublesome..." Kaihara slowly moved to the table suitable for avoiding to avoid the battle by Kunikida who blocked the opponent's line of sight, listening to the words of the hypocritical old man, only thinking They will have to go back to the shop to work after finishing the fight soon.

"Please don't mind, the matter will be over soon." With the old man's hand waving down, Bei Yuan quickly turned over and squatted behind the table to cover his ears, "Hey, hey, don't shoot casually, okay, it's easy to get accidentally injured. !” Since the gunfire was so loud that she couldn’t hear it anyway, she complained directly. "Yeah, I agree~" The sudden answer from her side scared her so much that she almost squatted down, and she was relieved when she turned her head and found that it was Edogawa who was hiding behind with a plate of water yokan.As if he misunderstood Kaihara's gaze, Edogawa tilted his head while holding a fork in his mouth and thought for a while, then patted her on the shoulder vigorously, "It's okay, don't be afraid! Kunikida-kun can solve it, although he is smarter than me. It’s a little bit close, but there is absolutely no problem in terms of force!”

Kaihara, who was almost rolled out from behind the table by his sudden slap, could only smile helplessly. Looking at Edogawa, who was still humming and eating yokan during the gun battle, he babbled but couldn't say anything. Come on, after a "hmm", I decided to squat aside silently.

The gunshots gradually died down, and the screams gradually turned into low-pitched screams.Bei Yuan heard that he seemed to be almost done, so he stood up slowly with the help of the table, looked at the cracked walls, windows and broken furniture, and lamented that the Armed Detective Agency was really not just a joke, and the force value exploded.Feeling the fluctuating air again, she looked towards the door, but saw a familiar person.

"Stop!" Atsushi Nakajima, who was returning to the detective agency when he heard the gunshots halfway, rushed into the door sweating profusely, just in time to see Kunikida throwing the last man to the ground, and behind him drinking tea and laughing Bei Yuan and the others said, "Huh?" He looked blank.

"Yo~" He saw Kaihara behind Kunikida waving his hand at him, and then listened to Kunikida's complaints to him and the screams of the people under him in confusion.

'Compared to gangsters, a detective agency is scarier and trickier! '

Bei Yuan, who read this sentence from the boy's face, couldn't help laughing, walked up to him who was still in a daze, and rubbed his messy hair, watching his blushing reaction and taking a few steps back , think he is really cute.As if remembering something, she stepped forward and patted Kunikida who was asking Miyazawa to throw someone out, looked at the confused Kunikida with a smile, and waved her hands in front of him: "Kunikida-kun, the total number of dim sum is 3440 Yuan yo, thank you for your visit~" Seeing his expression as if he was choking, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the ceiling as if remembering something, thought for a while, then sighed and said: "The mental damage fee... .Forget it, I don’t want it if I’m not injured~” Kunikida glanced at the resentful Kunikida with satisfaction, twisted the mafia under him and screamed, Kaihara continued to go back to tease, ah no, comfort Atsushi Nakajima, who seemed to be wiping tears quietly, also learned his name at the same time.

Gaihara took the money contentedly and rode back to the store. After counting the money, he found that he gave a little more. Originally thinking, I took out the extra money and stuffed it in my small purse, "Let's go shopping on weekends~"

"Well~ Fortunately, I protected Dim Sum in time!"

After eating the snacks, Edogawa sat on the table shaking his legs and said with a smile, then picked up the hat that was put aside and put it on his head, pulled the brim of the hat and adjusted the position carefully, then jumped on the table with satisfaction, " Kunikida-kun, I'm almost going to work as a detective!"

Kunikida, who was busy calculating the loss, poked his head out of his notebook: "Oh, did you support the previous murder incident?"

"Yes!" Edogawa spun around on the table with one hand in his pocket, "The police said that they want to get the assistance of Mr. Ranpo, a famous detective with the best ability in the world!" He bent He lowered his waist and tilted his head, "Crying and begging me~" The raised words at the end of the sentence were mixed with teasing laughter.

"Oh, by the way, Kunikida-kun." Edogawa, who jumped off the table and walked to the door, thought of something and turned back, pretending to be mysterious, leaning close to Kunikida's ear,

"That beautiful store manager Kaihara, her abilities are very interesting!"

The author has something to say:

Let the hero come out to play!

Sprinkle flowers

Kunikida: "Why is no one comforting me..."
