"Boss! I want one...no! Two Strawberry Daifuku!"

"Please give me one of the three-color meatballs!"

"Boss, I want wagashi in the shape of rabbits, tigers, and foxes, please excuse me~"

"...You should stop it." With his left and right hands full of all kinds of weird snacks, the handsome young man in a light blue cloud pattern kimono, with waist-length hair tied up with a headband of the same color, finally couldn't help it, " Eat so many messy things, be careful to have diarrhea, and Miss Kanae will give you bitter medicine!"

And what's so delicious about these sweet and greasy things!As a result, he just passed by the paper-cut booth and saw some beautiful paper-cuts that he had never seen before, and he couldn't spare his hands to buy them!

"I've eaten seventy or eighty kinds of poisons. What's this snack?" Swallowing the last beige ball on a bamboo stick, Arya squinted happily, and threw the bamboo stick in her hand into the rubbish aside. Bucket, before Wuichiro questioned his eyes, he smiled and stuffed him with an exquisite wooden box, "It's rare to come out to play, so don't be depressed, this is for you."

"?"

Although the clouds engraved on it are a bit clumsy, the material is the same mahogany as Mrs. Tianyin's wardrobe, and the smell... is there camphor wood inside?How could this kind of thing that money can't buy appear on this kind of summer festival stall?

Allowing Arya to take back the sweets in his hand and continue eating, Muichiro held the wooden box that Arya handed him, stared at it silently for a few seconds, and then calmly opened it.

Anyway, it's impossible for a ghost to pop out of it, just cut it off if it pops out, it doesn't matter.

However, when he opened it and saw the contents of the box, the shock on Muichiro's face was stronger than that of seeing a normal ghost, probably comparable to seeing the ghost of the lower string.

"How is it? The paper-cuts I cut are beautiful, right?" Seeing Muichiro's blue eyes widened in surprise, Arya smiled triumphantly, "Let's not talk about this little summer festival, just search all over Japan, You can’t find such a beautiful paper-cut!”

That's for sure, after all, who would cut paper to look like a human being...

Looking at the small half-box of paper-cuts of familiar human figures about the size of his palm, Muichiro didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

Compared with the clouds on the outside of the box whose scales are obviously inconsistent in depth, the paper-cuts inside the box are meticulously cut out even the characters’ raised hair corners, and various poses that can make people’s brains produce sounds and pictures are cut out according to the characters’ personalities , such as sitting on the bed smiling, brandishing a knife and roaring violently, standing alone with folded arms...

Although compared with the paper-cutting of flowers hidden in various characters and butterflies and birds chasing flowers at the small stall just now, this kind of human-shaped paper-cutting technique is much simpler, but inexplicably, Wuichiro agrees with Arya's words in his heart.

Of course, he would never admit it on the face.

"Don't you know the most basic paper-cutting skills that connect people together?" Carefully closing the box and stuffing it into the inner pocket of the kimono, Muichiro took the leftover food from Arya's hand with a blank expression Come over, "Forget it, anyway, I don't expect much from you."

"...You guys, you really forgot." Sighing, Arya felt a little helpless, "You should remember things related to yourself, right? Today is your birthday! Shitouwuichiro."

Birthday?that kind of thing—

"Happy birthday, Muichiro."

The girl in the pink kimono has curved eyebrows, her smile is particularly bright in the light of the lantern torch, and her crisp voice penetrates the hustle and bustle of the summer festival. On the right side of her hair is a light blue hairpin that looks like a snowflake. The movement wobbled.

The words that had reached his throat suddenly disappeared, Muichiro pursed the corners of his mouth, and said nothing more.

"And I'm not a villain who can't cut together, don't underestimate the person who has played paper-cut with my brother for four years!" Taking advantage of Wuichiro's hands being occupied by various sweets, Arya quickly put them in his mouth Stuffed a small rabbit and fruit, "But Wuichiro, you will definitely meet more people in the future. The people who join in the future will be so lonely holding hands alone. It's better to be scattered from the beginning."

"After your birthday next year, I'll make up the paper-cuts of your new acquaintances. If you have nothing to do, read the paper-cut memories and memories, and you won't forget people so easily!"

"..." After swallowing the wagashi in his mouth, he was silent for a while, and Muichiro spoke slowly, "It's too sweet."

"That's right, I specially picked the sweetest one for you." The sweet Arya took it as a compliment, and took it triumphantly, "This small village has no cakes to sell, and transportation is not developed these days. Buy from Tokyo." It’s not broken or hot when you come back, so you can use this first to make do with it~”

"..." Looking at someone's face who became more and more resentful as he talked, Muichiro seriously doubted if he really got that birthday cake, would he still be able to eat two bites.

"You just eat these unnutritious things every day, so you can't grow tall." Seeing that the box of wagashi in Arya's hand has bottomed out, and thinking of Kanae's advice to him before leaving, Wuichiro silently handed over another wagashi. At the same time, he added a sentence, "Ms. Kanae said that she plans to go to order a kimono with Ms. Shinobu next month. If you grow taller at that time and cannot fit this kimono, I will take you there."

"..." Arya who just took the wagashi from Muichiro.

Glancing at Muichiro's blue kimono sleeves, which were obviously short by one knuckle, Arya's hand pressing on the wagashi paper box stopped for a moment, and then opened it as if nothing had happened.

"It's okay, it's okay, my elder brother also loves sweets, but now he is taller than irritable white hair, nothing to be afraid of."

That is to say, after eating all kinds of sweets in Muichiro's hand, Arya didn't go in when passing by the yokan shop, but went to the takoyaki stand on the other side to buy two takoyaki and came back.

"I haven't seen boiled radishes yet, so let's use this first."

Knowing that not everyone can eat sweets like herself, Arya kindly allocated almost all of her share to Muichiro, leaving only one.

"I gave you a gift and invited you to dinner again tonight, didn't I abuse you? Don't complain to Ms. Kanae when you go back!" Arya gave Muichiro a warning glance after finishing her chant.

"..." It's because you ate too much sweets and couldn't bear it!But he was also half-eaten by the sweets that were thrust in.

After receiving this unusually rich takoyaki, Muichiro held up the bamboo stick with no expression on his face, inserted a round takoyaki and threw it into his mouth, but he immediately opened his mouth with a tangled expression.

"Hahaha——! You actually threw the freshly baked takoyaki into your mouth, it's so cute hahaha!"

Seeing Muichiro want to vomit but also embarrassed to vomit, puffing out his cheeks and opening his mouth to let out a sigh, Arya laughed so hard that she almost shook out the octopus balls in her carton.

"Wuichiro, you are such an innocent baby fairy who doesn't eat fireworks, hahaha——!"

"..." Muichiro, who finally swallowed the takoyaki in his mouth, stared at Arya with dead eyes, silently making mouth shapes.

'Miss Kanae'

"Ahem, there seems to be someone who buys marble soda over there? Wuichiro, wait for me to buy two bottles." He quickly ate his octopus balls in two bites, and threw away the bamboo skewer, seeing that something was wrong. Arya hurriedly retreated, "Wuichiro, what flavor do you want?"

"Whatever...don't be too sweet." I wanted to say only two words, but thinking of someone's usual taste when picking food, Muichiro still added half a sentence.

"Okay~" After responding, Arya was already standing in front of the marble soda stand, but she couldn't find another color besides light blue from the beginning to the end.

Okay, she can't force too much on this place where even chocolates are only sold in big shopping malls in big cities, as long as there is soda to drink, it's good.

"Boss, here are two bottles of soda."

"Ok."

The flat-headed uncle picked up the iron bottle opener after a hearty response, and neatly opened the caps of the two bottles of soda and handed them to Arya.

"Thank you."

Arya took a sip of the soda, and found that although the packaging was a bit old, the lemonade tasted good, and because it was chilled in the well water, it was cool for her who was wearing a kimono in summer. He drank one bottle three times or two, and then watched the other bottle ready to move.

"If you continue to eat and drink like this, even if I don't tell Ms. Kanae, I will have a stomachache due to illness."

Taking away another bottle of soda from Arya's hand, Muichiro, who was tired all night, felt that Kanae asked him to protect Arya not from the hands of the ghost, but from this careless guy herself hand protection.

"Tch, cheapskate, I bought this." Arya muttered unhappily.

"I bought it with the money Ms. Kanae gave us." Muichiro, who was curiously looking at the marble soda in his hand, retorted distractedly.

"You're so annoying, a man will not be able to marry a beautiful lady if he cares about everything!" Arya wanted to raise her paw.

"It doesn't matter, I will forget it soon anyway." After speaking, Muichiro raised his head and lifted the glass bottle, but only drank a few drops of soda because the marble got stuck in the bottle.

"laugh--"

Arya quickly withdrew her raised paw and covered her mouth, trying not to laugh too much, causing a boy next to her with pink ears to get angry and pull out her knife.

Hahaha, Wuichiro is really a treasure boy, next time there is such an event, I must call him again, the ability to make people happy is really a little lower than sweets.

The author has something to say: This chapter comes from my resentment about Muichiro's birthday on the pillar :)
