The collective maple viewing of the detective agency ended, and everyone quickly returned to their daily lives. Although the detective agency was very idle, so idle that even the military and police had no commissions to cooperate with.

Except for Kunikida Dopo who was working as hard as usual, everyone was slacking off quietly.

However, today a somewhat strange commission came in. The client is a high school dropout. Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu are explaining the situation to the client in the living room, while the rest of the people in the detective agency are gossiping about nothing. The main reason is that this client is actually a celebrity.

"Celebrity?" Hinata Sogan blinked as he sipped his coffee. "Is the client some big shot?"

He saw the client when he entered the living room just now. It was a thin and petite girl, not very tall, with chestnut hair, and she looked a little unhappy.

"It's Narimiya Ha." Tanizaki Naomi said, "The genius game player Narimiya Ha is a very popular video blogger on the Internet. Because of her young age and good gaming skills, she has been doing game review work and is very popular."

"In fact, her gaming skills are only slightly better, not at the top level." Tanizaki Junichiro obviously watched her videos with his sister, so he added: "People like to watch her videos, mostly to listen to her complaints that are not what she really means."

"...A fan of Tsundere Lolita?" Yusano Akiko frowned, "Otakus are really good at making judgments."

"But Xiaoye is really cute." Tanizaki Naomi rubbed her face, "She is especially cute when she is angry!"

Hinata Sou nodded in affirmation: "This is also a talent."

While they were chatting, Kunikida Doppo and Dazai Osamu opened the door and walked in. They had serious expressions and looked like they had encountered some big problems.

Everyone looked at the two men strangely. This best partner in the detective agency had never been so serious before.

"Everyone, I have something to announce." Kunikida Dopo coughed and cleared his throat. "It's about Miss Narimiya's commission just now. Miss Narimiya is waiting in the living room now. Let's make a quick decision and decide who will take this commission this time."

"Can't you two do it?" I asked Akiko Yosano.

"No!" Dazai Osamu firmly denied, "This time, neither I nor Kunikida can do this."

Everyone was curious: "What kind of commission is this?"

Dazai pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking like he had everything under control. Then, Kunikida Doppo, who discovered that his glasses were gone, knocked him hard on the head. Finally, Dazai rubbed his head and talked about this case.

"It's like this. Miss Cheng Gong said that she is actually a hacker. She accidentally discovered the biggest secret of a certain game company. The secret is very scary. She has been targeted by the game company and needs someone from the detective agency to protect her safety and ensure that she will not be assassinated."

Crowd: …

[What a random story.] Hinata Hajime couldn't help but complain.

【The story fits her age.】

【Are you a young middle school student? 】

"Of course it's not just that. When Dazai and Miss Narimiya were talking nonsense, Narimiya's agent found me, and I learned about the situation in another room." Kunikida Dopo said seriously, "In fact, this did not happen, and Narimiya is not a hacker. She is just too lonely."

"Lonely?" Miyazawa Kenji blinked. "Are you lying because you're lonely?"

"My agent told me that Cheng Gongye is a left-behind child. Her parents are both overseas and may not come back once a year. She dropped out of school last year to make videos and went home. It is difficult for her to have friends and communicate with others normally. The information on the Internet is very complicated. She is very lonely. After seeing the detective agency on TV news, she thought of this."

"She probably just wanted someone to hang out with."

Edogawa Ranpo leaned back in his chair and concluded, "This is not a commission at all. A detective shouldn't go out for something that doesn't exist."

"But!" Kunikida Dupo tightly grasped the notebook, "The reward is quite generous."

"Taking this commission will earn us more than a month's work!"

"So you guys want to find someone to play with that little girl?" Yoseno Akiko stood up with her coffee in her hand. "Don't look for me. I'm not interested. You guys continue to discuss it."

Hinata Hajime suddenly felt something was wrong. He lowered his head and silently prepared to stay away from everyone's sight.

【You can't escape.】

[Give me a little hope! 】

"Hinata-kun."

"Can you pretend I'm not here?" Hinata Hajime said in a weak voice, "I can't do that. You want me to play with a high school girl? I'm not very good at getting along with people."

【Your defense is really weak. 】

"How could that be? Hinata-san is really a very friendly person. Everyone likes him very much."

"Hinata is probably the most gentle person in the detective agency."

"It's the embodiment of healing!"

"So." Everyone looked at Hinata Hajime, their eyes full of emotion, "This commission belongs to you!"

"Have a safe trip!" Hinata Hajime was rushed onto the shelf and pushed to the door of the living room.

【They say you can't escape. 】

"But why? How can I look like a healer?" Hinata Hajime sighed, "The year I entered Hope's Peak Academy, I didn't even have a single friend. I didn't look like the type who could form a good relationship with others."

Kamizuru lowered his eyelids slightly, "You can think of affinity as something like luck."

【well?】

[Hope's Peak Academy studies luck, but they ignore affinity. This is your talent.]

【Chuang, you are a talented person. 】

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he smiled helplessly, "Isn't it a little too late to say this now?"

But he was happy.

Not recognized by others, but by yourself.

Taking a deep breath, Hinata Hajime pushed open the door of the living room. Inside, Narimiya Ye was swinging her legs and looked a little bored. She was playing with origami in her hands, but she was not concentrating and was just folding it intermittently.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Hinata Hajime." Hinata Hajime came over, "I'm the investigator commissioned this time."

"You?" Narimiya looked at Hinata Hajime suspiciously, "I can tell you, there will be a super powerful killer who will come to assassinate me! If you are not strong enough, it will be very dangerous, and you might die!"

"I know." Hinata Hajime nodded in confirmation, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep you safe."

Cheng Gongye puffed up her lips, and after a moment she nodded and lowered her head, but her eyes cautiously glanced at Hinata Hajime, and there was a sense of arrogance in her voice. If I guessed correctly, she must be clutching her clothes tightly now, "Well, well, don't blame me if you get hurt!"

"Sister, let's go home!"

Seeing Narimiya Ye unable to hide her happiness for having achieved her goal, the agent smiled and then looked at Hinata Ventures with gratitude.

[What a genius game player.] Hinata Hajime murmured, [He is a completely different type from Nanami.]

[Her success is not limited to games, it is more of a bonus in terms of popularity. There is no point in comparing her with Nanami Chiaki. ]

[This is not a comparison, just a feeling.] Hinata Hajime murmured, [If it weren't for Enoshima Junko, Nanami's future would definitely be more hopeful than imagined.]

…

It's not an exaggeration to say that Narimiya Ye is the most successful and youngest video blogger. She is very popular and earns a lot. Her address is also specially chosen in a community with extremely high confidentiality. When Hinata Hajime entered, the guard gave him a temporary stay card, and only with this card can one enter the community gate.

After opening the door, Hinata Hajime saw the living room. Narimiya Ye's living room was very messy. Except for the room for live broadcast and video making, the other rooms were filled with game cartridges of all kinds.

"Then, from today on you have to keep me safe!" Cheng Gong Ye announced, cheering like a child, looking like he had pulled off a successful prank.

The agent picked up the scattered items on the ground helplessly, and then said to Hinata Sou, "Sorry, Mr. Hinata, please sit down first."

After saying this, the agent told Cheng Gong Ye not to be willful and that she would deal with the negative comments about her recently.

Cheng Gongye nodded, and started to choose the game she wanted to play on the floor without much concern.

"Really? It's just a game. If you don't like it, then don't like it. But your sister is so concerned about it." Cheng Gongye pouted, "I just play games for fun."

Hinata Hajime sat beside her and looked at her, but didn't want to talk to her.

Perhaps she suddenly remembered that Hinata Hajime was right next to her, and Narimiya Ye turned her head slightly. She stared at Hinata Hajime, and when Hinata Hajime looked at her in confusion, she coughed, "I know that Hinata-san must be very lonely sitting there alone. There is really no other way, so I will be merciful and invite Hinata-san to play games with me!"

Hinata Hajime: ...

Who is so lonely that he needs to find someone to play games with?

"Okay." Hinata stood up and looked at the game cartridges scattered all over the floor. "So what game should we play together?"

"This is good!" Narumiya Ye picked out the game, and Hinata Hajime took a closer look and found that it was a strategy game.

Seeing Hinata Hajime's puzzled expression, Narimiya Ye got angry again, "I just don't believe that I can't conquer this game! Damn it, why is it so difficult for people to get along with each other! Every time I choose the option I think is the best, the other party gets angry!"

"Can I ask what option you chose?"

"Of course it's the most normal option!" Cheng Gongye said confidently, "It's raining outside, so of course she should keep the umbrella for herself. Why should she be sent home? Such a small umbrella can't hold two people!"

Well, he knew why.

Before coming, Hinata Hajime had a general understanding of Narimiya Ye and had watched several of her videos in advance, so the game in front of him was very familiar to him.

This is a strategy game, but it is different from ordinary strategy games. The personalities of the people being conquered are random, and each time a new file is opened, a different version will be randomly selected. The best option last time may be the worst option this time. Cheng Gongye became famous by playing this game.

This famous talented game player failed miserably in this strategy game and was even upset to tears several times, becoming the most funny person on the list.

It seems that she hasn't given up yet.

The game was successfully connected, Cheng Gongye chose to start, and then was ready to conquer it, but then quickly fell off the street, and was forced to commit suicide by the attacker on the grounds that she was too fickle.

"Damn it!" Cheng Gongye tightly grasped the game controller, "Why, why, she is not my main target at all, why did she suddenly come over and commit suicide with me!"

Hinata Hajime: ...

[It's quite interesting.]

【Um.】

"You come!" Narimiya handed the game controller to Hinata Hajime, "Have you seen my previous experience? This is a very scary game! You must be careful and pay attention to all the details in the game with more tension than if a killer were to strike!"

"Yes, I understand." Hinata Hajime nodded seriously.

Then, Hinata Hajime successfully completed the Grand Slam.

Cheng Gongye, who was watching from the side, widened her eyes. She looked at the game interface, then looked at Hinata Hajime, and then burst into questioning, "Why?!"

"well?"

"All the characters you want to capture have full favorability, and even the unimportant NPCs have been marked as captured successfully! This is a super hidden plot! What's wrong with you? No, are you still human?!"

Hinata Hajime leaned back slightly, "Is it really that amazing?"

"No! You must be lucky!" Cheng Gongye angrily started another game, "Look, I'll surpass you!"

Then he died tragically again in a love suicide for someone who was not the attacker.

Narimiyaha: ...

Hinata Hajime: ...

Narimiya lowered her head, and after a moment she handed the controller to Hinata Hajime, "Do it again."

"Isn't it necessary?"

"No! You have to do it again!"

Hinata Hajime helplessly took the game controller and randomly chose to start a new game. Looking at the gentle girl in the plot bringing him breakfast, Hinata Hajime didn't know what to choose.

【Outflow.】

【no.】

[But if I succeed again, she will cry. If I choose the wrong option on purpose, it will be seen. It’s outrageous. Please help me.]

【This game is boring.】

[Don't you want to give it a try? What will the outcome be if you rely on your own choices? We are one person, but there will be different results, right?]

Kamijū Izuru had countless ways to refute Hinata Hajime, but he didn't say them out loud. He just silently switched control of his body and pressed the option as Hinata Hajime breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally thought it would be a perfect ending, but in the end Hinata Hajime still silently covered his forehead.

【…Outflow.】

【I didn’t succeed in the strategy. 】

[However, a full be ending + a hidden line of life and death separation doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it. ]

"Are you mocking me on purpose?" Cheng Gong Ye clenched her hands tightly. She raised her head, looking as if she was trying hard to hold back her tears.

Kamukura Izuru turned his head and looked at her. "This game is boring. I knew the ending when I saw the first option."

Cheng Gong Ye couldn't hold it back any longer, she burst into tears, feeling aggrieved like a child.

It's over.

…

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect this to happen." Hinata Hajime stood at the door and kept apologizing to the agent, "Is she still crying?"

"It's okay, Mr. Hinata, don't worry about it." The agent laughed out loud, "On the contrary, I even think it's too good."

"Huh?" Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment.

The agent closed the door carefully. She stood at the door and finally couldn't suppress her smile. "Xiao Yezi looks very emotional, but actually she keeps a lot of things in her heart. Sometimes she is like a childish kid, and sometimes she is like a mature adult. It's great that she cried like this this time."

"Besides, Xiaoye likes Mr. Hinata very much."

Hinata Hajime blinked, "You like me?"

"Yeah!" The agent said with a smile, "Before leaving, Xiao Yezi specifically told me that she wasn't crying because of Mr. Hinata, but because the game was too annoying. She also hoped that Mr. Hinata could come on time tomorrow so that she could prepare better games to play with him."

"I see." Hinata Hajime breathed a sigh of relief.

[Your strategy game was successful again. ]

[This is not a strategy game, it was just an accident.] Hinata Hajime sighed helplessly, [When she was crying, I almost thought the commission was going to fail.]

Walking out towards the sunshine, Hinata Hajime looked up at the sunset in the sky. Then he saw a snack shop. After calculating the remaining salary for this month, Hinata Hajime walked into the snack shop and ordered a straw cake.

【A gift to comfort yourself. 】

[Of course not.] Hinata Hajime replied with a smile, [It’s for myself and as a thank you gift for you.]

Hinata Hajime sighed, "Peaceful days are so nice."
