Chapter 1 Fengdu Detective Story ([-])

The gentle wind blows the street, and also blows the skirts of passers-by on the street.

The most striking thing about this city is the wind turbines that cover the entire city, as well as the top of the city, which is the best scenic spot in the wind capital, and the huge windmill that can be seen anywhere in the city. The tall tower - "Fengdu Tower", coupled with Fengdu's coast, has a very beautiful seaside scenery, so every tourist season, many travelers will come to this lively city to enjoy a good leisure time .

"Indeed, this is indeed a good place to go. If you don't come here for work, it seems good to have fun with the mentality of traveling like ordinary people."

Dragging a white suitcase, a man in a white suit and a white jazz hat stepped off the tram, and said to the woman beside him who was holding his arm.

A woman with black hair, but with traces of pink highlights at the end that doesn't seem to disobey, has curved eyebrows and a playful smile on her delicate and lovely face, "Well, that's right, but working hours don't matter." It's not that you can't touch fish... What's more, considering the situation here, the working time this time will not be too short."

"Ah—Desmaster really left us with a lot of trouble."

The man sighed, took off his hat and fanned the wind, and his eye-catching white hair fluttered slightly against the ubiquitous majesty of the city, "I finally returned to the magic world, and it's rare to live in peace for a while. I haven't played with this child much before I was one year old, but I received a message from the Snow Queen... Then we had to go out again, even though the life at home is so comfortable, we still can't escape the life of hard work."

"[Two-color handkerchief to wipe the world] This kind of slogan has been shouted out, it is impossible to stay at home because of laziness and mold." Phyllis laughed twice, let go of his arm, and took it from the pocket of her skirt. He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time on it, "It was the late 70s... the situation here is a bit complicated, we have to do something to hide it, and there will be a lot less entertainment."

"This is still a very Showa era. Considering the background of the era, many entertainments are still immature. If other time travelers come to this era, maybe it would be good to invest in the entertainment industry?" Albert Lut slightly I made complaints about it, and scanned all kinds of passersby around me, "It's really a world with the atmosphere of the times. It seems that even Sailor Moon (screened in March 1992) has not been aired now."

Although there is already a Kamen Rider (the first generation of "Kamen Rider" was broadcast in 1971).

"Sailor suits are still the mainstream of this era."

Walking slowly forward, Phyllis observed the pedestrians on the street and the shops that opened, with excited eyes on her face, "Ah, in this era, there should still be many old shops for sale. Handmade wagashi. Although I have eaten sweets made by Hana’s grandma, I really want to eat more kinds of things.”

Helplessly following her footsteps, Aberlut, who was in charge of dragging the luggage, said angrily, "Actually, you are just greedy... Well, you are honest and worthy of praise."

In fact, he is also very interested in the various snacks here.

In the era when there were not so many food additives in later generations, the most memorable things were probably these beautiful things with historical precipitation.Food and music can transcend the barriers of time and culture, and even aliens with similar tastes may like these things.

At least Effie both like sweets, and his condition is even worse than Phyllis's.

The two stopped and walked, taking out some change from time to time to buy some meatballs, thick fish, and the like at street stalls.During the time between the afternoon and the evening, it is almost the time when the children are going home from school. Naturally, there are many street vendors on the road who make money from the children, which happens to satisfy their appetite... What, they are also children , can be said to be in the same boat, can't it?

Even when I came to the magic world, I have never felt the "strong sense of the times" of this world, so even though I tried my best to change into clothes that fit the background of the times, I still feel a little out of place with everything here.From the perspective of later generations, this era is like adding a layer of yellowing filter. Although it is a bit old, it has a special flavor.

Soon, the strong atmosphere of the Showa era made the two, who were a bit reluctant to leave, temporarily forget their missions.

They can naturally see that the spiritual temperament of people in this era is quite different from that of later generations. Albert and Phyllis were both "born" in the main world in the year of 2019. In the era of the handover of "He" and "Heisei", they naturally have a sense of laziness of people in that era.

This is also one of the reasons why they attract people's attention...but more importantly, they have to talk about their appearance and appearance.

Although Alberto, who is a man, wears a suit, it is still eye-catching, but it is not too exaggerated. With the fashion of men at this time, wearing a suit as an "exotic product" can be said to be a very fashionable expression.In contrast, Phyllis, who was wearing a long-sleeved white sweater on the upper body and slim jeans on the lower body, simply attracted the attention of passers-by with her elegant and refined appearance.

Although she also wanted to complain, Alberto changed the color of his eyes but didn't bother to change his hair color as a lazy dog, which really increased their return rate by [-]%.

The leisurely footsteps blended into the crowd. After they gradually integrated into this era, they gradually became less conspicuous.And then relying on a little bit of tricks, Alberto gradually got to know the city, collected a lot of information, and collected it in the portable computer disguised as a watch. Phyllis didn't care at all, and was very happy After eating and drinking all the way, there was a happy smile on his face all the time... It made Albert feel that this trip was not too hard.

The two of them wandered around until the sun went down, and this was considered to be a temporary end to their wandering behavior.

Phyllis was eating the dorayaki in her hand, and she was still holding a plastic bag full of various sweets, and asked in a vague voice, "Ai Wu, looking all the way, do you have any questions about this city called Fengdu? City, do you have any specific ideas?"

Chapter 2 Detective Stories of Fengdu ([-])

The city of Fengdu...is really good.

People in the Showa era did have enthusiasm and vitality that many people in the Heisei era did not have, because the order in this era was still chaotic, and the people down to the individual had great potential in all aspects, and people were very enthusiastic about participating in social activities.Although this kind of optimistic atmosphere is invisible, it can be clearly felt. Although people live in a hurry, as long as they work hard, they can often reap rewards...

Everything in sight seems to be full of vitality, just like the windmills that can be seen everywhere in this city.

Pulling Phyllis, who was still eating snacks tirelessly, to sit down on the bench by the street, Alberto tilted his head, reached out and pinched the white hair hanging on his forehead, "After this investigation, , I think it’s not bad to settle here. We have also detected it before, right? The memory of the entire planet is just around the corner. will suffer."

He frowned, and sat on the back of the bench looking at the red-hot sunset in the sky, smiling loosely, "It's a virtue to wait diligently, but it's a pity that most of my waiting time can be called Because of 'fishing'... As the saying goes, Jin Ye's heart is often hidden, and fishing is really fun."

Phyllis took out a red bean bun from the bag in her hand and stuffed it into his mouth, still chewing on the snack, "What about the job?"

"Let's take one step at a time. The time is still long, but I don't know how much the time difference between the two sides will be. The world here is 'stitched', and the time is completely chaotic. It is impossible to measure it with conventional means. The only thing we can rejoice is that if If something goes wrong in the wizarding world, they can still call us back..."

"I hope I can find 'clues' during my spare time fishing."

Alberto chewed the red buns in his mouth, raised his brows, "It tastes good, it seems that the craftsman of the old chef is really not a cover, excellent, quite excellent!"

Showing off, she raised one of the red bean buns that she just made in half and shook it, and the corner of Felice's mouth curled into a smile, "The old man saw that the two of us seemed to be tourists, so he specially gave us a pair of red bean buns , What a hospitable person."

He nodded approvingly, "One thing to say, indeed."

"I feel like you're trying to trick me."

"No, no, nothing."

The two frolicked for a few minutes, then leaned together to watch the beautiful sunset in the sky, and took out the momentum of eating dinner to deal with the bag of desserts in their hands that was not very suitable for preservation.The suitcases were right next to them, but there were no short-sighted thieves who came out to try to fish in troubled waters. Albert took out a camera that fit this era and took a lot of photos, waiting to go back and develop them—photographing and developing This kind of photo with a strong sense of the times can also be regarded as having a special flavor of the times.

Waiting for the film in the camera in his hand to be shot, breathing the fresh air before the wind, Aberrutra started the conversation as usual, "Speaking of which, I saw a 'なんでも house over there before (Also known as Wanshiwu)', this kind of Wanshiwu seems to help with many things, do you want to go and have a look? It would be great if we can find a local to guide us around."

According to a local person, it is more convenient to find a long-term residence. After all, this era does not have such a convenient network environment as Albert is used to. Even the household registration of the police station is mostly handwritten. If Albert wants to use It is also quite difficult to solve some troubles with my own black technology.

At this time, magic is more useful.

As a purer pragmatist than Kiryu Sentu and Tan Rito, he has always used whatever is more useful, and he can do well by himself when looking for a house.

But it is rare that after resolving the nondescript war in the magic world, there is a good opportunity that can be regarded as a public tour, and he doesn't want to do anything hastily to ruin this rare experience with Phyllis, so he simply experiences it. Let's take a look at the life of ordinary people.

Phyllis still cherishes every minute and every second she spends with him. From the perspective of outsiders, they should be a very eye-catching couple now.

However, only they themselves know the relationship between each other best, which is not enough for outsiders. With such a tacit understanding, the peaceful atmosphere around the two of them even passed by and saw the two of them wanting to take a group photo. Passers-by couldn't bear to disturb them.

[Time, December 1979, 10. 】

The two Effies who came here for the first time spent the first time quite peacefully as simple travelers.

This tranquility lasted until Phyllis ate all the snacks left in her hand one bite at a time with cute but extremely fast movements like a hamster.

Eberlut, who patiently watched her extremely happy eating scene, naturally took her palm, and grabbed the handle of the suitcase with the other hand, stood up and walked towards the other side of the street dyed red by the setting sun Go, "Let's go, let's ask Wanshiwu if there is a suitable room for the two of us to live in."

"Speaking of which, the work of Master House here is similar to that of the detective agency in the future, but it needs to be more extensive...Maybe we still have to go back to our old business here and continue our 'Detective Effie' Office' work~"

"Just as you please." Phyllis held his palm nonchalantly, and continued to examine the shops on the street with curiosity, "Anyway, we are not short of money. This alone is enough to buy in any Human society can live well.”

If it weren't for worrying about the troubles they might cause, it would be a breeze for them to become a famous and rich man.But of course they won't do such a boring thing, after all, neither Albert nor Phyllis like money at all - people may be jealous if they say this.

When you are in a good mood, walking is also a comforting thing. Even the time of shopping, which is very troublesome for men, passes quickly. After walking for about 10 minutes, they came to the two shopping malls before. In front of the master house that I saw when I was there.

Ordinary Japanese-style house, two-storey building, the first floor is a storefront and the second floor is a residence. It is ordinary, but it is not inconspicuous at all in the few clothing stores mixed in next to it.If it wasn't for the words [Narumi All Things House] hanging on the storefront with a large wooden signboard, it would be impossible for Alberto to know that this place is actually the place where those jobs are done...

Standing at the door, looking carefully at the building that looked quite old for a few seconds, Albert walked up, knocked on the store door, and softly called, "Is there anyone inside?"

Chapter 3 Detective Stories of Fengdu ([-])

Out of politeness, Alberto knocked on the door and called softly.

It's time, the two wooden shop doors covered with thick white paper are closed, and I don't know if it is closed... If there is no one, they probably have to find a hotel to stay.There is no need to be in a hurry to find someone to lead the way and find a house. It is already a bit late. Although they can make up for the night without eating, drinking or sleeping, they don't have to treat themselves badly, can they?

"Please wait--"

But it seems to be very lucky, a voice came from this [Narumi All Things House], and it didn't take long before the store door was opened towards the two sides, and a black-haired young man emerged from under the dark brown store shed Come.

Seeing Albert Lut who just knocked on the door in front of the store, he looked very extraordinary at first glance, and this man was wearing a "Jiejin Jun", which is the style common to Japanese college students, which looks very retro Wearing an orthodox black uniform, the young man with a slightly serious demeanor frowned slightly, "May I ask who you two are..."

"20 years old, no, 23 years old? Well, wearing a high school uniform makes people feel a little out of character, but although this boss is young, he feels very calm."

Alberto took a few glances at the young man who should be the owner of Master House, and it would be impolite to continue observing, so he quickly picked up the conversation, "I am a traveler from another city, I happened to see the signboard of Guiwanshiwu outside again. Do you provide guide services here? We hope to find a local person to introduce us to a house that can be rented for a long time. This kind of work should be able to be done by Wanshiwu, right? .”

"Feel sorry."

The young man's expression is still calm and peaceful, and his voice also gives off a sense of solidity that young people rarely have, which makes people feel a little reliable, "The original owner of this place is my father. Although I am the owner of this place now, it is also the most recent time. I just took over this master house, and I don’t know what the original business here is.”

"...I see, there is nothing to do about it." Alberto, who is good at observing people, clearly noticed the tiredness under the young man's calm and steady face.

Moreover, his accent is also slightly different from the accents that Albert heard on the street. Perhaps before this, this young man did not live in Fengdu.In addition to what he said earlier about taking over this master house from his father, I'm afraid something happened to his family, which made him come here.

Considering these things, Aberlut originally wanted to ask him if he could take him to find a house first, but he took it back. In this case, he was embarrassed to trouble others.

"It's okay." The young man shook his head, his calm expression didn't change much, but he suddenly said, "If it's just to guide the two of you, I can still help you. If you have no other requirements If so, please let me take this as my first job when I accept this master house."

"Will it be troublesome?" Aberlut added, "You should not be a local. If we need to trouble you to spend a lot of time leading us to find a house, we may not be able to pay you enough entrustment." fee."

It sounds like he is questioning the other party's ability to work, but in fact, he is tactfully giving the other party a step down. The most straightforward way of evading money transactions may be able to dispel the other party's good intentions... At this time, Ai Bo Root only reacted belatedly, when did he become such a caring and warm man?

But obviously, his words did not dispel the other party's thoughts.

However, perhaps because what he just said more or less questioned his professionalism who decided to take up the job of his father who passed away not long ago, the tone of the young man was a little heavier, "Although he is not a local, but During this period of time, I have learned about the city, big and small. Although it is not possible to understand the whole picture of the city like people who have lived in this city for more than ten years, it is not too much inferior. "

"If you are just looking for a house that can be rented, two streets away from here, there was an old lady who was in urgent need of money and hoped to rent out her house. I went to see this morning. The house has not been rented out yet, if you two are interested, I will take you there to have a look."

"However, if the two of you want to rent that house, you may need to pay some extra rent at one time. I am not an intermediary, and I will not charge you extra intermediary fees. Simply leading the way is not a major commission... …Just treat it as a free service for two newcomers to Fengdu.”

When the young man introduced the business, he was quite organized, his tone was calm and convincing, and he also named various pros and cons in advance, which made Alberto think it was quite good.So he also nodded, "Thank you very much, haven't you asked your name, sir?"

"Narumi Shokichi."

The young man briefly introduced himself, and then naturally asked the name of the employer of his first "buy and sell", "What's your name?"

When he asked this question, there was a bit of inquiry in his eyes, which finally gave him a little more of the feeling that a young man of his age should have, instead of giving him the feeling he had when he first saw him. There is a feeling of being as calm as an old man.He was indeed very curious about the two travelers in front of him who were dressed in fashion and looked amazing, but it was just because of his personality that he was able to restrain his curiosity.

Albert took off the jazz hat on his head, leaned on his chest and bowed in greeting, "I am Albert, and she is Phyllis Hanakai. Please give me your advice, Mr. Narumi from Master House."

Narumi Shokichi turned and closed the door behind him, walked steadily to the side of the two, nodded and said, "Come with me, the distance is not too far, and we will arrive soon. It's a little late now, If you feel that the house you will see later is not suitable, I will take the two of you to live in a nearby hotel. This is a free service... But after that, if the two of you still need a guide, you can come to Wanshiwu to look for it. I can do it too, this is a serious fee item."

"I understand, I understand, and I won't make it difficult for you."

Alberto pulled up the suitcase and sighed a little, "No matter what you say, Mr. Narumi has saved us a lot of effort. I wonder if Mr. Narumi has had dinner? If not, please be sure to Let us treat you to a simple meal - don't refuse, we also hope to learn about the nearby delicacies and fill our stomachs, and it is still a small thank you from Mr. Narumi for leading us the way."

There were still a lot of wrinkles on the clothes. It seemed that Narumi Shokichi, who had been doing cleaning work in the master house before, was about to refuse, when he heard his stomach growl.Naturally, Albert Lut and Phyllis, who was quietly observing, did not miss this wonderful sound, and immediately saw a slight blush on the healthy complexion of this young man who had always been very calm:

"Then... thank you very much."

【timeline】

In Fengdu in 1979, Narumi Shoyoshi was 23 years old and had just taken over the "Narumi All Things House" from his deceased grandfather.

Chapter 4 Detective Stories of Fengdu ([-])

"It's okay~ It's okay~ Don't worry about it."

Albert put his hat back on his head again, scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile on his face, "Although this is the first time we met, Mr. Narumi reminded me of a few friends, I think they are very kind .”

Of course, this is just a customary courtesy for now.

However, Narumi Shokichi seems to be very useful - it is better to say that people in the Showa era generally have enthusiasm that Japanese people of other eras seldom have, even Narumi Shokichi who looks very serious and calm on the outside.

A slight smile appeared on the face of the black-haired young man, but he quickly restrained himself.On the way to the destination with the two of them, Narumi Shokichi asked curiously, "Sorry, I'm a little curious, aren't you two tourists? Next, you want to live in Fengdu permanently?"

I don't know if it's because the two travelers from different places gave him a good feeling, so he who was very reticent became a little talkative today.And just like his first impression, this young man with amazing white hair who looked about the same age as him was a talkative person. He dragged his suitcase and observed the surrounding environment while responding to his questions. doubt:

"We are not simply here for tourism, because there are some things to do, so we have to live here for a while... Maybe it will be a long period of time, the preparations must be done early, so I want to find a room It’s a nice house, it’s better to stabilize it sooner.”

Narumi Shokichi asked, "Mr. Albert is a foreigner? You can speak Japanese very well."

Glancing at the calm young man, Albert raised his eyebrows, "You can just call me Albert, I can speak Japanese well because I have stayed in Japan for many years, so it can be said that I am here. I grew up, so there is no need to think that I have any foreigner problems."

The boy's brows were slightly frowned, and he quickly relieved, "...Mr. Albert, the straightforwardness is a bit too much, and it's completely different from the foreigners who came to Fengdu to travel. .”

Alberto immediately beamed with joy, "Ha, thank you, thank you."

There was Shokichi Narumi who started the conversation. Anyway, he was idle on the road, so he also opened up the chatter box, "Speaking of which, Mr. Narumi's work at the Master House overlaps a lot with my own detective work. Originally I was thinking about opening a detective agency or something here, but I didn't expect that there was already a 'peer' here... This is quite a coincidence."

Hearing what he said, Narumi Shokichi's eyes lit up slightly, "Mr. Albert is a detective? Can you tell me about the work of a detective?"
