I am the one holding the Higan flower in my hand

Isn’t it enough to just raise it?

Besides, why is this person apologizing? It's strange... Something's wrong. Kuriyama Kuriko doesn't know why she suddenly feels a little short of breath. There are many things that happened on this day that she doesn't understand.

I don’t understand why someone would be willing to help someone they just met; I don’t understand why someone would care about a stranger because of a trivial matter; I don’t understand why a mother would apologize for leaving her daughter in the countryside.

why?

Kuriyama Kuriko felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't explain why she felt uncomfortable. She remained silent on the spot, not knowing what to say.

She remained silent, and Mrs. Miyamoto felt even more guilty and sad, and kept saying things like, 'My mother will definitely make it up to you if you have wronged Lizi.'

"No," the black-haired girl managed to force out a response from her throat.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Miyamoto refused with a serious face, "No, what are you kidding about? Do you really want to be separated from us? Are you not even willing to accept compensation from your parents?"

Mrs. Miyamoto's nose became sour and she shed tears.

Kuriyama Kuriko's eyes widened, as if an electric current passed through her body, she took a step back suddenly, not daring to touch Mrs. Miyamoto again.

"Lizi~~," Lizi's movements made Mrs. Miyamoto feel cold all over, and her eyes looking at Lizi Kuriyama were full of sorrow and sadness. She couldn't believe that her daughter had just thrown away her hand, "..."

Kuriyama Kuriko felt that she was going too far, but she didn't dare to step forward, "I...it's not..." The words were on her lips, but she didn't know how to say them. She knew that all of this was just remembered, and what was in front of her was Women are just like this because of false memories.

But Kuriyama Kuriko no longer dared to talk nonsense, not wanting to say anything that would make the other party uncomfortable.

She froze in place.

"Li Zi," the sad mother who had been thrown away by her daughter regained her mood, took the initiative to hold her daughter's hand again, and said, "Can your parents please make up for the time you lost?"

Mrs. Miyamoto looked at Kuriyama Kuriko sincerely with tears in her eyes.

Those eyes are full of maternal love.

Kuriyama Kuriko's heart trembled and she couldn't say anything. She nodded silently and saw the smile slowly blooming on Mrs. Miyamoto's face.

"It's late today, let's let our family of four go shopping tomorrow," Mrs. Miyamoto said with a smile.

A family of four.....

Kuriyama Kuriko... nodded, "Okay."

The next day.

She secretly turned her head to look at the boy beside her. The boy's black hair was slightly curly and he was talking to his parents, with a gentle smile on his lips.

So...so good at pretending, Kuriyama Kuriko was amazed.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

After looking at him for too long, the person involved naturally discovered that Muzan Kibutsuji, whose pseudonym was Miyazukihiko, looked like a good younger brother.

The atmosphere of the family of four was not stiff as Kuriyama Riko thought, but rather very harmonious.

The Ghost King, who has lived for thousands of years, is knowledgeable and talented, and can always pick up the topic of his parents. If people had tails, I am afraid that the tails of these parents would have been raised to the sky, with a completely "my son is great" expression.

"No, no," Kuriyama Kuroko shook her head wildly.

Kibutsuji Muzan smiled slightly, but if you look closely, you can find the displeasure hidden deep in his eyes.

"Well, the relationship between Li Zi and Yue Yan is really good," Mrs. Miyamoto covered her lips and smiled, feeling proud of her son and daughter.

"Haha~~," Mr. Miyamoto did not say such straightforward words, but just looked at the two people happily.

Kuriyama Kuriko, "..."

"It should be," Kibutsuji Muzan said.

He fit into the role of the younger brother very naturally, with no flaws in his acting skills and no trace of embarrassment in his expression.

Being someone else's son, the Ghost King has no discomfort at all.

Kuriyama Kuriko was a little impressed. She really couldn't do it so naturally. She always felt awkward and uncomfortable. How can you just call strangers ‘Mom, Dad’?

Therefore, Miyamoto and his wife felt that Lizi had complaints against them in their hearts.

But Tsuji Muzan, who was thought to be unable to get along, gets along well with Miyamoto and his wife, and both parties have fully entered the roles of parents and children.

Kuriyama Kuriko nodded and agreed, "Yes, my brother and I have always had a good relationship."

Mrs. Miyamoto smiled happily and looked at the pair of children beside her. She really wanted to know what their past was like. She was really unqualified as a mother. "Li Zi, can you tell your mother, you and your brother used to Something about?"

Because they wanted to cultivate a relationship, the four of them chose to walk instead of taking a car.

What happened in the past...Kuriyama Kuriko suddenly fell silent, thinking about how to make up a story in his mind. It seemed that it was not difficult, as long as the past words were replaced by Muzan Kibutsuji. However, she only did one thing in the past, living, and this thing was the simplest thing in this family.

"I will study with my sister,"

Just as Kuriyama Kuriko was making up words, Oniwu Tsuji Mumei suddenly spoke up and solved the problem.

He had the right smile on his face, "Right, sister."

"...Yes," Kuriyama Kuriko didn't expect Kibutsuji Muzan to help out. After being stunned, he quickly shook his head. With a beginning, the rest of the lies became easier, "My brother is very smart. Although he is younger than me, He learned much faster than me.”

"Sometimes I need to ask my brother for advice."

"When I'm tired, I make a grasshopper out of straw to relax."

"Are you braiding grasshoppers?" Mrs. Miyamoto tentatively held her daughter's hand. When she saw that her hand had not been thrown away, she felt joyful and the smile at the corner of her mouth expanded several times. "Is there any chance for mom to get a grasshopper braided by chestnuts?"

"You...want it?" Kuriyama Kuriko was a little surprised. Mrs. Miyamoto didn't seem like someone who liked playing with grasshoppers.

"Of course, this is knitted by Lizi herself, and it's too late for mom to like it, right, Yueyan, isn't my sister very good at knitting grasshoppers?"

Muzan Kibutsuji was suddenly asked, "...Yes."

"Did Yueyan take good care of the grasshopper that his sister made up?"

Oniwu Tsuji Muzan said, "...Yes."

Mrs. Miyamoto smiled happily, "Arada, look at these two children, how good they are."

"Haha~~" Mr. Miyamoto laughed, and then touched the heads of Onibatsuji Muzan and Kuriyama Kuriko without any precautions. "As expected of them, they are my children."

Kuriyama Kuriko was stunned, "..." He subconsciously turned his head to look at Kibutsuji Muzan's expression, and his heart skipped a beat, for fear that something irreversible would happen.

Sensing Kuriyama Kuriko's gaze, Kibutsujimu glanced at her with no expression on his face.

It's hard to see his true emotions.

However, Kuriyama Kuriko felt that the other party should be unhappy. There were only two existences in this person's world, himself and others, and he was far higher than others.

He absolutely despises humans.

The calm before the storm.

"Dad, if we touch our heads, we won't grow up," Kuriyama Kuriko looked displeased and complaining, and glared at Miyamoto, "I will become shorter."

After saying that, he endured the coldness in his heart and stamped his feet, acting like a little daughter.

Kuriyama Kuriko's eyes were looking at Mr. Miyamoto, but she felt Kibutsuji Mumei's eyes. The eyes stared for several seconds before looking away. She did not dare to think about the meaning of the eyes.

"Ah~~~" Mrs. Miyamoto said "Ah" several times, obviously stuck for a few seconds, "Okay, dad,,, mom knows."

Kuriyama Kuriko acted coquettishly, causing the atmosphere to suddenly fall into silence.

I don’t know when Miyamoto and his wife fell a few steps behind the two of them and whispered, "Arada, why is this kid Lizi acting so weirdly? I guess... it's my problem... it seems. I saw a son acting coquettishly with me."

Oni's hearing is very good, and Kuriyama Kuriko heard Mrs. Miyamoto's whispers clearly.

"It's not your imagination," Miyamoto was more direct. "It seems like a strong man is acting coquettishly with me." He rolled up his sleeves. "Look at my arms, the hairs are all standing up."

Kuriyama Kuriko, "..."

Quietly taking a step closer to Kibutsuji Muzan, he couldn't help but ask, lowering his voice so that Miyamoto and his wife didn't want to hear, "Tsukihiko-sama, is it really that bad?"

Got no response.

This is of course, and Kuriyama Kuriko is not surprised at all. Of course Kibutsuji Muzan will not answer such a question, but she really wants to know, is it really such an exaggeration?

You are a girl, and when you act coquettishly, it looks like a man acting coquettishly?

Not that...

It is true that this is the first time I have done this kind of thing, and I feel stiff, but it is not that bad.

Thinking of this, Kuriyama Kuriko couldn't help but bend a little, "Tsukihiko-sama~~~"

"Shut up."

"Don't come over."
