Parrot Aoi and Raven Ado

In the early morning mist, a convoy of luxury cars of the same color and model drove into the underground parking lot of the Hayakawa Hot Spring Hotel in a low-key manner.

After the convoy entered the parking lot, they parked in order. The second car in the convoy got down from the co-pilot position, and a gentleman who looked like a butler respectfully opened the door of the rear seat.

A few seconds later, an old man in his sixties or 70s, who seemed to be in good spirits, stepped out of the car.

Under the protection of the bodyguards and the guidance of the hotel staff, everyone walked all the way to the top of the mountain.

Behind him followed a group of people, all of them were dressed in suits and leather shoes, looking like elites.

After entering the Hefeng Villa that he had chosen before, the old man waved his hand to let the people behind him disperse, and he looked kind but dignified and said to the people: "Don't follow me anymore, this time is to tell everyone Come out to play and relax. Several villas and villas connected near the top of the mountain have been booked by the company, you young people should stop hanging around me, an old man, and go play."

The executives, assistants, and secretaries who came with him on vacation laughed softly, and quickly followed his order. Groups of people who were friends with him gathered together and walked out of the annex to enjoy their time. The holidays are gone.

For these elites who have been busy for half a year, this kind of vacation is really a rare enjoyment.

After the crowd left, the originally bustling lobby of the annex immediately became empty, and Maruo Yoshitoki stayed with him, except for the bodyguard and housekeeper, only his life assistant remained.

Maruo Yoshitoki knelt quietly on the soft cushion in the tea room. He didn't drink tea, but just looked at the blooming roses outside the window. His eyes were scattered and unfocused, and his expression was rigid like a painting. No one could guess. I can't figure out what he is thinking in his heart now.

All the senior executives of Maruo Company know that their chairman likes to meditate quietly, so when he is thinking alone in the quiet room, basically no one in the company dares to disturb him, unless it is something very important.

So now the bodyguards are wandering indoors and outdoors, and the living assistants are asking about the dishes and wine pairings for three meals a day in the villa area. Only the butler, holding the phone, is always on the phone, as if he is different from the phone. What the other party on one side is communicating.

The communication was obviously not very smooth. The butler, Mr. Gao Ze, frowned more and more, and finally had to say: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Then he sighed and hung up the phone.

After organizing the words in his mind, Mr. Gao Ze, the housekeeper, came to the tea room and knocked on the door lightly.

"Come in."

These two very short words seem to contain infinite content, including anticipation, hope, and other things.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't ask any information about the young master from the hotel. Whether it's the front desk or the guest room, they refuse to disclose any information about the guests to us."

"It's normal. Hayakawa's hotel has a good reputation among the guests, and the employees have always been known in the hotel industry for their dedication. It would be strange if you could ask about other guests without the permission of the guests. things."

Maruo Yoshitoki, who had his back to the door, answered so lightly.

"Then shall we continue to inquire about the young master?" asked the housekeeper who was tasked with inquiring.

"No need, I know where the kid most wants to go when he is carrying the drawing board. I just asked you to ask, just to make sure that the kid is really here. You are going to ask about this place The service staff, where is the most beautiful place near the hotel, you can go there to find someone outside. "

"Okay, I'll go ask."

After saying this, Mr. Housekeeper should have gone out to carry out Mr. Maruo's order immediately, but he didn't move at this time, but stayed where he was hesitant to speak.

Maruo Yoshitoki, who didn't hear the sound of closing the door, turned his head to check, and saw his butler hesitantly.

"Takazawa, do you have anything else to say?" Maruo Yoshitoki, who was puzzled that the conscientious housekeeper would have such a situation, couldn't help asking.

"Yes, sir, just now the eldest lady called and said that she has returned from the United States and wants to come here to accompany you on vacation."

"Mayumi? Is she here? Doesn't she need to be busy with things in the United States?"

Hearing that his daughter was coming to accompany him on vacation, Maruo's eyes flashed with relief and pride, but also with a complicated expression.

"If she wants to come, come here, tell the hotel kitchen to prepare some fresh tuna and arctic shellfish, Mayumi loves to eat."

"Okay, sir, then I'll go out first."

After Mr. Butler left, the tea room became quiet again.

At this moment, Maruo Yoshitoki showed a tired look, tapped his forehead with the folding fan in his hand and said with a sigh: "One or two, both give me such a headache."

In the lobby of the hot spring hotel, Aoi was flying around the hotel with a platycodon flower in its mouth.

These are the flowers that Du brought back for it today, and the budding ones look like freshly picked ones.

It seems that the little bird is really serious about fulfilling its promise to pick a flower for Aoi one day yesterday, and it has never been lazy in its implementation.

The reaction of the great white parrot is the same as that of all the elders in the family with cubs. They say that there is no need for such trouble, but they are so happy that they can't help showing off to others after receiving the gift.

Look, platycodon flower, isn't it pretty?It was sent to Aoi.

Isn't this bellflower pretty?It's a call from Du to Aoi~~.

Isn't it a beautiful lisianthus flower?Du gave it to Aoi, and it also said that it would send flowers to Aoi every day~~~.

The employees of various departments on the hotel side heard a lot of words from the big white parrot that day.

So much so that when they saw the parrot flying over with a flower in its mouth, they had to try their best to avoid it immediately so as not to be entangled by the parrot.

Hey, if the same question is the same, no one can bear to be asked three or four times by the parrot after being stopped.

After successfully using a flower to make everyone look at her and escape, Aoi flew back to the bird stand satisfied.

Axiong, a cockatiel hanging at the bottom of the bird stand, saw the sunflower falling, and reflexively dodged towards a corner of the cage.

If you want to say who the biggest "victim" of the sunflower parrot's nagging this time is, it must be it. Whoever tells it to be close, and is locked in a cage and cannot fly away, isn't it the best target.

Fortunately, Aoi probably finally got over the excitement after flying around. After landing, he carefully inserted the platycodon flower on the bird stand, and then he stopped talking about it.

The cockatiel, who felt that he had escaped a catastrophe, patted his chest with his wings, and prayed to some god in a low voice.

"Wow~~, Xiong, do you eat cooked corn? The old lady cooked it this morning. It tastes sweet."

This season is the time when a large amount of tender corn is on the market. Grandpa Hayakawa’s chess friend, Mr. Fukuda, sent a lot of them yesterday. The old lady cooked some for her family this morning, and sent the rest to the hotel for extra meals for the staff. up.

Axiong shook his head when he heard the words, and grabbed his own food box in the birdcage with his paws. It was full of bird food, water, and snacks, which were specially added by his master before he left.

"It's full, that's good. Speaking of which, why didn't your master take you out to sketch with you recently?"

Everyone knows Mr. Maruo has the habit of carrying birds out to draw pictures, but it's just strange that he hasn't seen him taking birds out recently.

"Master, look for it again. If you find a new place, you will take Ah Xiong with you."

Mr. Maruo Toshihito likes to walk around with his drawing board on his back, and he will come back to carry Axiong after he finds a satisfactory scenery.

I have this habit because I don’t want the birds to follow me around. After all, the beautiful scenery is beautiful, and the process of looking for the beautiful scenery is very exhausting.

The two parrots were talking, and Mr. Maruo, the owner of Axiong, came back with a drawing board on his back.

After exchanging a few words with the hotel staff and the big white parrot, the gentleman took a sandwich and drinking water, and went out with a birdcage. It seemed that he had found the scenery he wanted again.

Seeing Axiong whistling in the cage and happily following his master away, Aoi suddenly became a little envious. For some reason, she missed the little raven that always followed her.

Wow~~ Anyway, it's almost lunch time, so it should be normal for Aoi to call Du back for dinner, right?

With this kind of thought in mind, the great white parrot, who didn't know why he got better, flapped his wings and flew outside, preparing to call his children home for dinner.

When Aoi found Du, the little raven was in a wilderness on the top of the mountain on the west side. Because the location is high and there is no hot spring outlet, this is a relatively desolate area in the hotel.

The big white parrot flying in the sky doesn't know why the little raven came here. There is no food and nothing to play here. It is not a good place for birds to relax.

"Wow~ Du, what are you doing? Stop kicking dirt and throwing pebbles over there, go back to have lunch with Aoi."

Hearing Kui's call, the little raven raised its head, and called a few times in a coquettish voice~ ah, he said that he knew it and left immediately, but the movements under his feet did not change at all. Kicked a lot of soil clods and stones into a hole.

The call of the sunflower parrot in the sky came again, and the little raven lowered its head to the ground and called a few times in a low voice. Not only was the voice not delicate at all, but it was also aggressive.

After calling, the little raven flew up into the sky, and happily followed the big white parrot to go home for dinner, leaving behind the mouse and family in the wilderness hole with tears in their eyes to quickly pack up their belongings and prepare to move.

Zhizhi, that black raven is really unreasonable, saying that their parrots don't like mice and snakes, and they are flying around on the mountain these days, chasing them around.

Today it is even more excessive, blocking all the doors of their houses and throwing clods and stones inside, saying that they will eat them all if they are not moving.

Ravens know that there are rodents in their diet, but the elders of the family who taught them evasion skills didn't tell them that the ravens would block the doors of other people's houses when they preyed?

Facing the threat of predators, the mouse family huddled in the cave and shivered. Finally, the Hades who was guarding the door flew away, and the family quickly packed their luggage and fled.

The big white parrot, who didn't know what his little raven was doing outside these days, was feeding the little bird, and the little thing's beak couldn't tear off the corn kernels from the corn cob, so Aoi had to come over to help.

It bent down and pulled the cooked corn kernels off the cob, and fed them into the bird's mouth mouthful. Seeing Du eat with a smile on his face, Aoi felt very happy in her heart.

It's not that it doesn't know that the bird is playing tricks with itself, but so what?

It is enough for Du to eat happily, to feed himself happily, and for everyone to be happy.
