Qianye felt that she was not the kind of person who refused help from her friends. He just knew that Oda needed this job to pay for his sins. And he also works hard to do a side job, and there is no shortage of money for the time being.

But Oda said this, and Qianye was unwilling to live up to the other party's kindness, so he made a promise to Oda that 'even if he has no money, he can be summoned to fight', and Oda returned to hell satisfied.

And Qianye is also ready to set off for the Armed Detective Agency.

As planned, he received Atsushi Nakajima, Izumi Kagamika, and Kunikida Dubu.

Kunikida sat in the passenger seat, gave the address of the restaurant and showed him the way. Qianye was not familiar with Yokohama, so he naturally obeyed his arrangement.

When he was driving, he couldn't help but look at Izumi Jinghua sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Quan Jinghua asked very directly: "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Qian Ye shook his head and said casually as if chatting: "Quanjun looks very young, is he in school?" ”

Izumi Mirror Flower ...... I didn't react to the title of Quan-kun a little. She is used to being called by her first name directly, or Jinghua-chan, and it is the first time that she has been called such a formal surname.

Kunikida replied for her: "She didn't go to school, and she is fourteen years old this year, which is the age when she can work." ”

After the war, Japan set the minimum age of 14 as the minimum age at which people could work, and over time, this age has been raised everywhere except Yokohama.

Yokohama is the only city that does not limit the number of hours a minor worker can work, and does not require the consent of a guardian.

This is also a helpless move, there are too many orphans in this city. The dragon head war six years ago also led to the loss of countless children to their parents and dependence.

To a certain extent, Yokohama, as a concession city, is an alternative existence in the island nation.

"Fourteen years old...... Qianye said, "Don't you have a guardian?" ”

Kunikida said lightly: "Her parents died. ”

His tone was so flat that it seemed that this kind of thing was so common here that it could be said directly in front of the person concerned.

Qian Ye noticed that Quan Jinghua's face had not changed, and seemed to feel that there was no need to keep it secret, and saying it would not make her depressed and sad.

Qianye: "That...... Izumi-kun is also a supernatural being? ”

Atsushi Nakajima seemed to have found an opportunity to speak: "Yes, Kagami-chan's ability is very powerful. Although she is young, she is very reliable, and I owe her care on a daily basis. ”

Kunikida said coolly: "Being taken care of by a fourteen-year-old girl is not something to show off. ”

Atsushi Nakajima: "...... That's right, too. ”

He just wanted Mr. Qianye to know that Jinghua-chan was very powerful, and not to underestimate him because of her age.

On weekdays, Atsushi Nakajima often partners with Izumi Kagamia on missions, because the two of them are young and are often questioned by clients, especially Izumi Kagami, who really looks too young. Many people are still middle school students at this age.

Quan Jinghua didn't react, but quietly looked out the window.

Qian Ye sighed in his heart, he felt that the daughter of the Quans couple was the girl in the back seat of him nine times out of ten.

will save a large amount of money for her daughter and hide it, and worry about her daughter's parents after death...... If they were still alive, this little girl wouldn't be like she is now, without a smile.

Qian Ye looked at the small restaurant in front of him, it looked like it was a few years old, the pillars at the door were a little rotten and black, but the business in the store was good.

"Don't look at it, I only reserved a seat in advance." Kunikida said.

Qianye believed: "I see, it's an old store with a good reputation, I'm looking forward to it." ”

The reservation was for a four-seater against the wall, and after Qian Ye sat down, he looked at the menu hanging on the wall, the price was obviously cheaper than that of ordinary stores, and he couldn't help but stare at Kunikida.

Kunikida said with a convincing expression: "I did the store a little favor before, and he agreed to let me make an appointment." ”

Qian Ye couldn't cry or laugh a little: "There's no need to save money for me, I'm not so poor that I can't afford a serious meal." ”

Kunikida looked at him with a kind of 'you are still too young' eyes: "You will retract this sentence later." ”

Qianye: ?

The two minors didn't think about it so much, out of a special experience, they really thought that as long as others treated them, they could let go of their bellies and eat as they pleased.

Because I thought about what to eat in advance, I called a waiter.

Izumi Jinghua: "A serving of soup tofu." ”

Qianye: I really like tofu very much.

Atsushi Nakajima: "Let's start with ten bowls of chazuke, two bowls for each flavor." "This shop has five flavors of chazuke.

Qianye: Nakajima-kun really likes to eat chazuke, so he ordered it...... Wait, ten bowls!

Qianye looked at Atsushi Nakajima in disbelief, only to see that he had a flat belly, fleshless cheeks, and slender limbs, so he didn't look like a big stomach.

Kunikida pushed his glasses as expected, and pretended to be profound: "Calm down, on the first day we met, he ate twenty-three bowls of chazuke in front of me, which I paid, and twenty-three bowls were still at the level where his appetite was not fully opened after he was too hungry." ”

In other words, although the price of this store is indeed more affordable, it does not mean that Qianye can save money.

Qianye: "......" He quietly leaned into Kunikida's ear and asked in a low voice that only they could hear, "What is his supernatural ability?" ”

Kunikida: "Turned into a white tiger that was four times the size of a normal tiger. ”

Qianye: "Such a big tiger...... The director of that orphanage was great. ”

Just a simple tiger is very dangerous for ordinary people, not to mention a tiger of such a size, it is still out of control, and the use of abilities will consume energy and physical strength, and the amount of food will increase.

To sum it up......

Qianye: "That Mr. Dean shouldn't be Nakajima-kun's father, right?" No matter how bad it is...... Foster father? ”

Kunikita was not quite clear and could not answer. He was not interested in his colleagues' past experiences, and naturally had no curiosity, so he just said, "If I have a chance, I ask?" ”

Qianye: "That's still forget it, you are his senior, if he doesn't want to answer, it will cause trouble." ”

Chiye and Kunikida ordered eel rice, which is the signature dish of this restaurant. Qianye is trying to change her eating style, from Western to Japanese, and from bread to rice, a process that is surprisingly not particularly difficult.

Maybe it's because British cuisine has its own system, and it can be tied to the diet of any country.

There is no special food and drink rules, and when the two minors are addicted to boring dry meals, Qianye and Kunikida chat.

For example, Qianye is more concerned about the traffic conditions and some hidden rules in this city, and Kunikida can give a very detailed answer, just like an encyclopedia in Yokohama.

Noting down the key points in the ledger, Atsushi Nakajima was already on his way to the thirty-first bowl of chazuke.

Kunikida was very skeptical that the other party was going to eat the tea and rice for the next twenty years in one sitting today.

After eating the eel rice, Qianye drank the tea, and asked as if he suddenly remembered: "By the way, what is the name of the colleague that Dubu said before?" ”

"That kid...... Kunikida showed a sore expression, "you just don't think he exists." No, no, no, I still have to tell you how far away you are from him as long as you hear his name. ”

"Huh? Do you mean Mr. Dazai? Atsushi Nakajima thinks that the only person who can make Kunikida say such things is Mr. Dazai.

"Mr. Dazai?" A question mark popped up in Qianye's mind. "His surname is Dazai?"

Kunikida: "Well, my full name is Osamu Dazai. Have you heard of him? ”

Even if Qianye heard about it, Kunikida didn't think it was strange. Osamu Dazai used to be a cadre of the port mafia, and he and the current cadre Nakahara are also known as Shuanghei, which is a well-known name in the world.

Compared to the name Osamu Dazai, the name of the double black will be louder, and Kunikita heard about this name a long time ago, but after Dazai personally told him that he used to be a mafia in the combination incident, Kunikita knew that he was one of the double blacks.

However, Kunikida has investigated later, and it is strange that the name Osamu Dazai seems to be obscured by some dark cloud, and the other party's criminal record has not been found. This is not normal, the Armed Investigation Agency has a certain authority to network with the government's intelligence network, and even the spy Kory does not have a criminal record of Osamu Dazai.

Kunikida guesses that his criminal record must be covered up by some kind of ability. Of course, he didn't care what the details were. People who live in Yokohama and step on the border between black and white know better than anyone else that curiosity kills cats.

Qianye was in a trance: "Ah, I've heard of it...... But I didn't expect him to be your colleague. ”

Oda wouldn't lie to him, if it was something he didn't want to say, the other party wouldn't say a word, and since he took the initiative to say that 'Dazai's case record is not able to enter the Martial Arts Investigation Agency', it was the truth.

But the other party is indeed a member of the armed detective agency.
