Inside the detective agency...

Tanizaki looked at Kunikida-san who was frowning, and asked him cautiously: "What's wrong, Kunikida-san. Is it because of the child you picked up this morning?"

as early as an hour ago...

Before Natsume agreed with Kunikida, Ranpo suddenly said to Kunikida, "Hey, Kunikida, the child you want to pick up has arrived. Now, he is already waiting at the station." It's been a while."

Hearing Ranpo's words, Kunikida glanced at the time subconsciously, and frowned when he realized that the time was still very early.And he frowned again when he saw that there was no information in the phone.

He got up and thanked Ranbu, and went to pick up Natsume.A member of the detective agency who is still confused.

Xie Ye stroked his chin and explained to the still puzzled members of the detective agency: "Yesterday I overheard him asking for leave from the president, saying that he seemed to be adopting a child."

"Huh??!!" - This is a member of the Marvel Detective Agency

Time goes back to the present...

"No, it's nothing. I'm going out to find that guy Dazai to do the mission." Kunikida pushed his glasses, said something to Tanizaki, and left.

And Tanizaki looked at Dazai who had come back: "But... Dazai-san has come back..."

Kunikida, who was thinking about Natsume, naturally didn't hear what Tanizaki said, he was thinking about whether to go and see Natsume now.But I already said that I will visit Natsume tomorrow...

While struggling, Kunikida hurried to the place where Natsume lives now.Um?This is... Kunikida accidentally saw a stall for buying vegetables, and by the time he realized it, he had already picked up a lot of vegetables.

Cough, it's time to make up for that brat.

Boom boom boom!

Hearing the knock on the door, Natsume quickly packed up the medicine box, but before he could finish packing, Mr. Cat said, "It's delicious." He ran over to open the door.

What caught Kunikida's eyes was not the child he had just adopted, but a...a fat cat wrapped around his leg?When Kunikida picked up the fat cat, he realized that something was wrong with the cat.

Holding Fat Cat in one hand and vegetables in the other, he asked Natsume, "Natsume, is your cat sick? How does it feel..."

Before he finished speaking, Kunikida saw the medicine box that he hadn't had time to clean up and the wound on Natsume's leg.

"You are... what's going on? Didn't I say I came to see me for something?" Kunikida put the dishes aside, put Fat Cat in Natsume's arms, squatted down and asked Natsume.

This kind of Kunikida warmed Natsume's heart, but he still shook his head and said that he was fine: "It's okay, Kunikida-san. It's just that today... I accidentally fell down."

Natsume's words made Kunikida frowned again.Still didn't say anything, just squatted down to help him deal with the injury on his leg.After everything was done, Kuniki pushed his glasses and told Natsume: "Natsume, your guardian is me now, you can come to me for anything. And... I will come to you when your injury is better. I will teach you a few self-defense techniques. This injury is by no means a normal fall."

Kunikida simply thought that Natsume's injury was caused by some gangsters nearby, and never thought that it would be the problem of youkai.

"No, no need. I'm usually so busy at work..." Natsume directly rejected his proposal, but when he saw the disapproving gaze, he immediately changed his words: "Then I will trouble you Kunikida-san."

Kunikida nodded towards him, and went to the kitchen to cook.Natsume, who had never eaten other people's leftovers, had such a meal for the first time.Even Mr. Cat, who was already sober, ate with relish.

"Hey, humans are getting a bowl." Teacher Cat pushed the empty bowl to Kunikida, indicating that he was getting a bowl.

"Teacher." Natsume whispered to remind his teacher to pay more attention.

Kunikida looked at the bowl that Mr. Neko pushed over, although he was a little surprised.But he still got up and served a bowl for Mr. Cat.Looking at Sensei Kitty, Kunikida suddenly thought of a good idea: "Natsume, this cat is called Sensei."

Although I didn't know why Kunikida asked this, he stopped his chopsticks and answered Kunikida's words: "Yes, Kunikida-san."

"If this is the case, then you will have a new name from now on, called Fat Meow." A few words simply gave another name to Teacher Cat.

Fat... meow? ? ! ! !The cat teacher who was eating heard that Kunikida had chosen such a name for himself, and immediately meowed at him without thinking about eating.Hearing his meow, Kunikida thought he liked the name: "It seems that Fat Cat also likes this name."

Natsume who knows what Miaomi-sensei is talking about: Kunikida-san, the teacher said this name... well, in fact, this name really fits the teacher. ...

Natsume, who was holding the cat teacher in her arms, never thought that she would go out with this guardian in name.

Natsume, who has always been alone, felt the warmth from his family for the first time.

Kunikida on the side tried his best to introduce the various scenery of Yokohama to Natsume, and also briefly explained the current power of Yokohama to Natsume.By the way, warn Natsume not to mess with Yokohama's port mafia.

Natsume smiled and agreed to what Kunikida said, and promised him that he would listen to what Kunikida-san said.Seeing Natsume's smile, Kunikida's frowning brows relaxed a lot.

"The deceased was obviously murdered. Instead of looking for the criminal, you said that this person was killed by a monster. Are you kidding me from the detective agency?" The sudden quarrel caught the attention of Natsume and Kunikida.

"Master Luanbu is right, this person was killed by a monster." Luanbu followed him to defend.

Atsushi, who was in between, explained to the police officer: "Officer Kobayashi, Ranpo-san can't make mistakes. If Ranpo-san says that this person was killed by a monster, then this person was killed by a monster." .”

Officer Xiaolin frowned fiercely, and shouted at Dun: "There are no monsters in this world. I think you are incapable of saying that."

Natsume, who witnessed the quarrel, knew that Ranpo-san was right.Because the murderer who killed this man was right next to the body.This person's soul is gone, is it eaten by this monster?Natsume noticed this monster, and subconsciously hugged Mr. Kitty tightly.

"Wait, officer, what were you talking about just now?" Kunikida pressed Officer Kobayashi's shoulder and looked at him seriously.

Officer Kobayashi shrank subconsciously from Kunikida's opinion, but then he realized that what he said was correct and said to Kunikida confidently: "Isn't this Kunikida Doppo from the detective agency? Edogawa Chaos from your detective agency Bu actually thought that this person was killed by a monster, isn't that nonsense?"

Although Kunikida froze for a moment when he was talking about monsters, he quickly adjusted his state: "It turned out to be what Ranpo-san said, so there must be nothing wrong."

Hearing that Kunikida chose to defend that Edogawa Ranpo without the slightest hesitation, Natsume was suddenly shocked for some reason.If he told Kunikida-san about his situation, would he choose to believe me without hesitation?

No no no, Natsume Takashi, wake up!what's on your mind?Do you want Kunikida-san to worry about you?Natsume, who felt warm for the first time, refused to tell Kunikida-san about her situation, even though Kunikida-san would believe her.

The monster has been hovering near the corpse, as if it noticed something, it floated towards Natsume.Mr. Cat directly released the aura of a big monster, but it may be that Mr. Cat's appearance could not pose a threat to this monster. He was only slightly puzzled, and then floated towards Natsume.

Just when Natsume decided to run away, Ranpo spoke, pointing at Natsume and telling him to come over.Natsume originally wanted to refuse, but the cat teacher told him that because the white-haired kid over there and your guardian are both supernatural beings, monsters usually dare not approach, which made Natsume feel relieved.

After Natsume noticed that the monster was unwilling to leave, he was truly relieved.But Natsume didn't expect that the next step would be the saddest one.

Ranpo looked at Natsume and asked him if this person was killed by a monster.And Natsume... After he finished asking this sentence, he subconsciously wanted to answer no, but he thought of Kunikida-san who believed what Ranpo-san said without hesitation, and changed it to : "Yes, this person was killed by a monster, and that monster directly ate this person's soul." Natsume revealed a little more to them.

Everyone's reactions were different, some looked like Atsushi's surprised expression, or Ranpo's expression that he had guessed a long time ago, and others looked like Kunikida's relieved expression.

Natsume rubbed his eyes wondering if he was wrong, Kunikida still had a relieved expression after rubbing his eyes.As if he noticed Natsume's expression, Kunikida patted him on the shoulder and gave him a big thumbs up.

Natsume: Kunikida-san, do you mean to reassure me?

Kunikida let go of his hand on Natsume's shoulder: "Ahem, Natsume, you go back first, I will be back in the evening. I will deal with this matter with the police officer first." Kunikida wants Natsume Go back first, after all, the next thing is not suitable for Natsume to watch.

Natsume nodded and agreed to Kunikida, and when he had walked a long way, Natsume asked the cat teacher: "Teacher, does Kunikida-san really believe in the existence of monsters?"

"Then are you going to tell him the truth?" He didn't answer whether he believed it or not, but asked Natsume back.

"No, no. I don't want Kunikida-san to worry about me." Natsume said his answer without a trace of hesitation. For him, these secrets existed beyond words.Even if Kunikida-san is a person with supernatural abilities, he still can't tell him.What's more, I have a cat teacher.Kunikida-san has nothing.

Although I knew Natsume's answer earlier, Mr. Cat was still a little upset.In today's terms, this is probably the old father-like mentality of Mr. Cat?

It wasn't until they went back that they realized that the matter was far from over...
