[Comprehensive] A murder caused by a feather

When Grandma Kinoshita looked at the string of red strings on her wrist, her eyes were very gentle, full of unspeakable love.But even such a relaxing scene couldn't make Yayoi laugh.

She couldn't even curl her lips.

"Gathering...soul?" She repeated grandma's words softly, grasping all the important points in just a moment, "...if you take it away, grandma will die, right?"

Such a fact is too cruel for a 15-year-old girl.Even if the person in front of him is the soul of a long-dead human being, it is none other than Yayoi's grandma.

A grandma who pats her head and says, "Yayoi-chan is also very energetic today."

Before grandma passed away, Yayoi's family had visited this elderly woman in the hospital. She showed a lot of love for Yayoi, and even though she was about to die of illness, she never gave up the gentle smile on her lips.

Grandma's palm is very warm and gentle.

"Little Yayoi, grandma is already dead."

"But..." Yayoi lowered her head, her emerald green eyes looked at the floor under her feet, her vision gradually blurred, the sound of "click" was like some kind of omen, and the drops of transparent liquid washed away a small part of her body like rain. Dust, "I—"

Can't do it.

Can't make grandma return to death again.

Yayoi Kinoshita has always felt that death is far away from her.When grandma left, she was smiling. Yayoi, who was only 8 years old, did not understand the concept of "death".

But she understands now.

So...it can't be done.

Yayoi, whose nose was red from crying, could only hear grandma's helpless sigh, and her hands, which could not touch the real thing, were placed on Yayoi's head weakly, making a stroking movement: "Little Yayoi still loves to cry so much..."

The old man's voice was as gentle and pleasant as his memory, and a lovely smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"...No." Yayoi wiped away tears, her voice had a cute nasal tone, "I don't like to cry at all."

It's just... nice to see Grandma again.

"What should I do?" Yayoi raised her head, with tears still in the corners of her eyes, "Tell me, grandma."

"Hey, Yayoi-chan is really a good boy."

>>>

The setting sun lazily dyed the earth, Yayoi took out her mobile phone to check the time, and found that it was almost 4 o'clock, and the last bus was at 5 o'clock, and she could go to Nanatsujiya to eat the delicious steamed buns before leaving.

Before she left, she saw Natsume who opened the window on the second floor of the house next door, looking out into the distance.Yayoi finally showed a pretty smile and waved at the other party.

"Natsume-san—" The girl's unique soft voice was melodious and melodious, very pleasant to hear.

Natsume Takashi lowered his head after hearing the voice, just in time to see the girl with a bright smile waving her hands silly.

"Kinoshita-san?" Natsume blinked in confusion, "Please wait a moment, I'll come down soon!"

The boy immediately turned around and went downstairs. Seeing the other party's hurried appearance, Yayoi felt that the dark clouds lingering in her heart had dissipated a lot. Even if this boy with short light chestnut hair just stood in front of her and didn't speak, he could still give her The courage to smile with curved lips.

The boy in the healing department is really good... Ah, no, the characters in Yuko's bad art books appeared in my mind!delete delete!

Yayoi patted her face, the goose-yellow dress on her body swayed from side to side with her movements, looking extremely cute.

She is indeed a goddess who can provoke perverts.

Natsume quickly put on his shoes and ran outside. His movements were fast, so when he reached Yayoi, he was out of breath and a few drops of sweat were streaming down his face.

With a smile, Yayoi took out the necessary tissues from her bag and handed them to Natsume.

"Wipe off your sweat, Natsume-san is too anxious."

"Ah...thank you." Natsume took it without being pretentious. There was a faint scent on the paper towel, which was very similar to Xia Tian's feeling. After he wiped off his sweat, his breath calmed down, "Is Kinoshita-san leaving?"

"Hey...yes," she gently brushed back the broken hair around her ears, the dark red beads on the red string on her wrist gleamed strangely, "before then... I want to invite Natsume-san to Nanatsuji Let’s try the steamed buns there.”

She didn't wait for Natsume to refuse, but looked at Natsume with her green jade-like eyes: "Is it okay...? I just want to be friends with Natsume-san."

All the girls have said so, if you refuse again, it will be too unreasonable.

Natsume had no choice but to sigh, and said helplessly: "I don't dare to let girls treat me, so how about I invite Kinoshita-san?"

Yayoi Kinoshita was stunned for a moment, Natsume Takashi's exquisite face met his eyes, and the roots of his ears turned red for some reason.

"Hey, hey... that's also possible."

As a girl who attends girls' junior high school during her formative period, it is true that she rarely comes into contact with men—except for Hideyoshi at home and Tsunayoshi Sawada at the next door—Natsume Takashi is probably more normal for Yayoi, and makes her Peers of the same age who think they are very compatible, right?

The steamed buns at Nanatsujiya’s house are really delicious. After Yayoi is full, I can’t wait to pack a few cents and give it to the twins who should be back home. It’s a pity that it’s a two-hour drive from Nishimori Town. When I take it back, it’s soft and the taste is absolutely delicious. Not as good as it is now.

She figured she could bring them over to eat some other day... but for what reason?

Thinking of this, an inexplicable sense of loss rose in Yayoi's heart.

It was almost 5 o'clock after eating, and Natsume sent Yayoi to the old station in disrepair outside the town.The small town in summer has a cool wind, with the smell of green grass in the woods.

"Then...see you next time, Natsume-san." Before getting into the car, Yayoi turned her head and said with a smile, "It's up to me to invite you next time."

"Yeah." The boy with short light chestnut hair has chestnut pupils, no matter how you look at them, they are as warm as the sun, "Be careful on the road, Kinoshita-san."

The bus from the small town to the city was a bit old, Yayoi kept turning her head, looking at Natsume's figure through the blurred glass window until she couldn't see it around the corner.

"Natsume-san...you are really a good person." Yayoi said in a low voice, took out her mobile phone with the pendant from her bag, and sent a message to Yuko about her late return.

>>>

The original two-hour drive abruptly dragged on until 9 o'clock. Yayoi called Yuko helplessly and told about the situation here. The old and dilapidated bus broke down halfway because the road was too far away. Therefore, the car to pick up the passengers in the car arrived very late.

The good mood of the day was ruined by the unlucky broken-down car. It took Yayoi more than an hour to calm down, until she saw a shop run by a monster on the way home.

Fox's Oden.

It is said that the oden cooked by Fox’s family is very delicious. Those who are lucky enough to meet will sigh if they don’t try it boldly.

In order to eat, Yayoi is also very hard.She struggled for a while, and her stomach began to protest when she smelled the delicious oden.

The people who set up the stall were a pair of fox father and son. Both of them had a certain sly smile on their faces, as if they were inherited from the family.But even ordinary foxes... their smiles can be scary if you look closely.

"Mr. Boss, let's have a bowl of Kanto cooking." Yayoi finally sat down on the small stool in front of the fox's stall. The night lights were blue and white, and the environment was like a scene in a horror movie.

"Oh, it's actually a human guest." The father of the fox father and son turned his head in astonishment, and sighed in amazement, "She's still a human beauty."

"Father, don't scare the guests away," the son of the fox started to work without looking back, "If you are still watching the little girl stop working, I will tell my mother when I go back that you—"

"Okay, okay, just talk about it," Father Fox muttered to his son dissatisfied, and then asked Yayoi very softly, "Do you want to add chili sauce?"

"Ah... Please add some in moderation." The conversation between the fox father and son made Yayoi feel relaxed, and she was finally not so restrained. She put the bag on her lap and suddenly realized a serious problem.

"Sorry... do you accept paper money from humans?"

"We accept all the coins, no matter what species they are." Father Fox smiled brightly, and quickly grabbed the paper bowl in his son's hand, ignoring his son's stare, "Please use it slowly."

After the fox father said this, he continued to get busy with the fox son. Yayoi guessed that they had just started to set up a stall, and the guests hadn't been attracted by the scent.

But Yayoi wouldn't stay for too long, she quickly finished the bowl of oden which was not too much, even the soup base.

The red-brown long-haired girl licked the corners of her mouth, raised her head and asked, "Can I pack it, please?"

"Okay, our oden is still delicious even if it is kept for a long time!"

"Father, stop molesting others, okay?"

"What, I don't have one."

"'Everything your father says is molesting', that's what my mother said."

Even amidst the quarrels, the dedicated fox father and son quickly packed up the three oden that Yayoi wanted - the foodie Yayoi said that she would eat another serving of this delicious food when she returned home.

After paying the money, Yayoi held the bag in one hand and three extra-large portions of oden that Father Fox intentionally enlarged in the other, and asked very reluctantly.

"Uncle, have you always set up a stall here?"

"No, the location of our stall is random, but if you want to eat Oden, you can come to Ukiyo-e Town to find us, that is the place we often go to, and it is also safe for humans." She replied. It's the son of a fox. His squinted eyes look much cuter than his father's. When he speaks, his ears tremble from time to time, as if a little shy.

"Eh... well." Yayoi was a little disappointed, Ukiyo-e Town and Namori-cho were separated by a rice flower town, if not for something, she basically wouldn't go to Ukiyo-e Town.
