Not to mention how the innocent young boy who was rejected by the (future) brother-in-law suddenly realized something, blushed and fled in embarrassment. Before closing the door, Kinomoto Shiro brought the silly girl who was out of the state in time and stared at the front Shi Shi's eyes seemed to pierce the door panel, and finally calmed down, when he turned to face Kinomoto Sakura, his expression was as warm as spring wind and rain.

The little girl's emotional reaction is obviously relatively slow, and she probably didn't even understand why she blushed when she almost hooked fingers with classmate Li Xiaolang earlier, and, at least for now, kissing her elder brother is more important than her classmates.

"Brother, good afternoon~" Forgetting a certain classmate within a second, Kinomoto Sakura stretched out her hands with starry eyes, and with a light jump, she hooked Kinomoto Shiro's neck and shook her toes.

Kinomoto Shiro took advantage of the situation to support the little girl's waist, so that she would not fall due to lack of strength.

"It's not hot anymore." Rubbing the elder brother's forehead, feeling that it was not as hot as it was this morning, Kinomoto Sakura laughed happily, and whispered in the elder brother's ear: "Even if you don't have a fever, you should keep warm." , don't get sick again."

Kinomoto Shiro also smiled: "Okay, okay, thank you Sakura for your concern, big brother obeys."

"Hee hee hee~"

The siblings rubbed together happily for a while.

"Brother, don't be angry about what happened that night..."

"Don't worry, I'm still angry."

Kinomoto Sakura: "...Hey!!!"

Kinomoto Shiro walked in with his sister in his arms, his smile slightly raised: "Let's recharge your batteries first, and I'll take care of you when I recover from illness."

Kinomoto Sakura: "Brother...QWQ"

Kinomoto Shiro: "Didn't I say it, it's useless to call me Dad."

After Kinomoto Shiro walked to the living room, he put Kinomoto Sakura down.The time they dawdled in the hallway was enough to make the two young people upstairs who were chasing each other in the narrow space sure that neither of them could do anything to each other—the agility value of the strange thief was full, but his face was cold and he held his hand. The weapon's Taoya is not a vegetarian either.

The crackling seemed to demolish the house, and it didn't stop until Sakura Kinomoto was drinking the juice.

"Is the second brother upstairs? Well, it seems that there are... guests?"

Xiao Sakura looked up in fear, and a dust floated down from the ceiling leisurely.

"Yeah, there are guests... I guess they're my friends, and Toya is entertaining him. Don't worry about them."

Kinomoto Shiro responded casually, and at this time he fell back outside the door, first helped Taoya's bicycle to the yard, and then carried the large bag of vegetables in the basket into the kitchen.Obviously, Taoya can't be counted on to cook at this time, he is still busy, Kinomoto Shiro thought that he would be idle anyway, so let's cook this meal by himself.

The three children in Kinomoto's family can cook, but usually the second elder brother Toya cooks a little more, followed by the eldest brother Bai. His cooking skills are recognized by the family, not particularly good, but it can be called good.

"Let me see...it's okay to eat all vegetarian dishes except eggs, and eat lightly at noon."

He probably looked through the ingredients, and after a short thought, a series of menus appeared in his mind.Sakura sat in the living room for a while, then ran into the kitchen to help her elder brother, Kinomoto Shiro readily accepted.

After asking Xiaoying to help him choose vegetables, he turned his head and began to peel a potato. Although he lowered his head slightly, his expression was exceptionally focused, and there was a slight smile on his lips...

……

The faucet hadn't been turned off for a long time, and when the exclamation sounded, the water in the sink was about to overflow from the edge and splash on the surface of his slippers.

"...Brother? Brother! Brother! Why are you suddenly in a daze?"

The little girl approached him suspiciously, and lightly pushed his suddenly stuck right hand.

Kinomoto Shiro——had become Qi Mubai at this time, as if he just came back to his senses at this time, he responded a few times in a panic, restrained his expression that was easy to reveal, and hurriedly scooped the tomato that was about to peel off after washing. empty basket.

Kinomoto Sakura was still a little puzzled, but she would never have imagined that during the moment when he was in a daze, the soul in his body had changed—it couldn't be said that he had changed a soul, but it could only be said that the current "Kinomoto Shiro" "It's not that pure Kinomoto Shiro.Therefore, she thought that the strangeness of the eldest brother was due to his discomfort, but after observing him quietly for a long time, she didn't see anything wrong with him... so she temporarily exposed the matter.

Qi Mubai continued to cook calmly under the gaze of Kinomoto Sakura.

After discovering that his situation was a little different from what he had expected, his reaction was also quick, he only paused for a moment, and then continued to maintain his flowing movements.Fortunately, although he seldom cooks at Qi Mu's house, this skill has not been discarded. According to the flow of memory, there will be no mistakes.

Qi Mubai reckoned that he should have returned to the days before the death of the third world this time, but in retrospect, he didn't seem to have cooked in those days, could it be the butterfly effect again...

However, just as he was thinking about it, he put all his heart into putting the cooked dishes on the plate, and as soon as he left the kitchen with the plate, he saw two young men sitting at the dining table with particularly calm expressions.

Momoya Kinomoto: "..."

Kuroba Kaito, who was not recognized by Saikibai immediately: "..."

"Ah, they are finally quiet." Sakura covered her mouth.

Although it was quiet, there was still an invisible aura lingering around them that was so stagnant that one could hardly breathe.

Qi Mubai: "..."

What the hell, who is that passer-by face?

Although he thought so in his heart, he was so calm in dealing with things, so he could naturally keep his expression on his face, and hurriedly put all the hot meals on the table.

Then, all four sat down.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Kinomoto Sakura and Kinomoto Toya sat on the side, and Qi Mubai sat next to the unknown passerby.As soon as he sat down, he received a wink from the passerby as if his eyelids were cramping.

Qi Mubai: "???"

Forgive him for his stupidity, but their brain waves really don't match up.

Moreover, it didn't take long for Qi Mubai to realize that the atmosphere at the table also became strange.

Momoya Kinomoto moved his chopsticks first.

He didn't pay any more attention to Kaito Kuroba, as if the person sitting across from him was nothing more than a lump of air, he just picked up a chopstick dish without changing his face, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed slowly.Taoya's expression was calm at first, and it was hard to see whether he was angry or indifferent, but after he chewed a few times, the expression on his face did change a little: first, his eyes widened slightly, expressing the feeling of astonishment. Pressed under the eyes.Kinomoto Momoya moved his hands, and he didn't know what emotion flashed in his heart. If he made another move, he silently put the chopsticks on the side of the bowl.

Qi Mubai only noticed that he stopped, and still couldn't figure out what happened.His chopsticks also stopped for a while. In this inexplicably weird atmosphere, if he wanted to start a routine, at least he had to know what time it was, but he didn't expect Kinomoto Sakura to take a few mouthfuls of food. The little girl's reaction was similar to hers. The silent second brother was actually somewhat similar, but since she didn't think too much, her performance was more obvious.

"—so salty."

Xiao Qiao frowned, and Kinomoto Sakura seemed to be inadvertently showing a surprised look.Her big pure and clear eyes looked at Qi Mubai, blinked, and said with some hesitation: "Brother... Are you in a bad mood?"

Kinomoto Momoya also looked at him, but, compared to his innocent younger sister, there was still strange suspicion in his eyes.

Qi Mubai couldn't help being stunned.

Being in a bad mood—of course it had nothing to do with that.The rice he cooked would make them feel salty - that's right, he didn't notice this detail at all.

When he was still Kinomoto Shiro, he also followed the taste of the first life, he liked to eat sweets, and even the food he cooked would involuntarily taste sweet.And now he is Qi Mubai who no longer likes sweets, unconsciously, the taste of the dishes made by him also changes.

These changes are indeed easy to be ignored, however, he himself did not notice, but Toya and Sakura found out...

His heart suddenly became sour for no reason.

At this time, the only one who can still eat normally is the "passer-by face".

Picking up vegetables and grilling rice as if there was no one else around, it was so lively, Kaito Kuroba finally filled his stomach on his own, put down his chopsticks, and there was still a grain of rice hanging from the corner of his mouth.He also seemed to ignore Kinomoto Momoya on the opposite side, he put his hands together and said "Thank you for the hospitality!", and then turned his head to look at Qi Mubai.

After squinting his eyes for a while, the strange thief's heart became clear.

Straightforwardly, he said: "Cut, why change at this time."

"Sorry... what did you say?" Qi Mubai subconsciously denied.

Kuroba Kaito smiled nonchalantly: "It's so obvious, I still can't recognize who you are——No, could it be that you didn't recognize me?"

Qi Mubai stared at him speechlessly, and after a long time, he saw some clues from the familiar smile - anyway, it was extremely unbeatable.

"It's you?"

"It's me."

Kuroba Kaito dragged away the chair and stood up, and also pulled Qi Mubai up.He walked towards the entrance, and kept muttering: "There are still important things I want to ask, but since you are here, well, the person I am looking for should be you, that's fine, the question waits." It's the same when I go back and ask you directly."

"Hey, wait..."

Qi Mubai wanted to interrupt him, but for some reason, he couldn't stop.

He looked back in a daze, and saw that the two siblings were still sitting there, neither opening their mouths nor chasing after them—just looking at him in unison, watching him leave, watching him go away, and they could never come back.

At this moment, the familiar fog reappeared in front of his eyes, confusing all the scenes behind him.

Only then did Qi Mubai understand that the illusion would end before he could do anything when he entered the illusion.It is very likely that Mr. Phantom Thief who stayed here "passed the level" by himself.

Saved a bit of effort, but...

Very surprised.

He didn't feel...relaxed, or thankful, on the contrary, he felt a little indescribably sad.

Or - because this time the illusion was cleared by himself, Qi Mubai was dragged away by the swift-footed Kuroba Kaito, and when he brushed past the mist, a blurry picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

It's like staying at Kinomoto's house for less than an hour just now...

He stood face to face with another self.

Qi Mubai, and Kinomoto Shiro.

Kinomoto Shiro's face should be blurry, because Qi Mubai couldn't see the expression of "himself".I just feel——he thinks so, this self that existed in the past seems to be smiling, and that smile is melancholy, emotion, regret, and a touch of relief.

They didn't say anything.

Kinomoto Shiro patted his shoulder and stepped forward.

In front of Qi Mubai was fog, and there was a faint light outside the fog.In front of Kinomotoshiro was the night, pitch black with no end in sight.However, there is an itinerant line between the two of them. Kinomoto Shiro walked before and walked through countless dark nights. In the end, he will be led by that line to where Qi Mubai is - "Tomorrow" .
