"Let me tell you, Shimi looked obedient when she was a child, but she was actually full of bad water! When I met him, I was scared to tears!"

As an ordinary person whose IQ is not outstanding, Qianqing's memory is very average, and she has almost no memory of things before the age of three.But the first meeting with Shimi was too unforgettable, and Tian Yu often used it as a joke to play with, so that after 13 years, she still remembers this account clearly, and she can turn it over and settle it with the parties at any time.

"Really? Why is it different from what I remember?"

Just when Qianqing was about to say something more, Shimi opened the wooden sliding door, raised her eyebrows and looked at the black-haired girl in the center of the topic.

"How do I remember—"

"Ah Shimi, you're finally here! We've been waiting for you for a long time and it's time for you to cook!"

Qianqing stood up and interrupted Shimi's words, and with a smile pulled him into the empty seat beside her, not giving him a chance to speak.

"Humph."

Squinting and sneering, Immortal Chuan Miniya didn't open his mouth to reveal the truth.

After all, it is not an honorable thing to be stepped on by a three-year-old girl viciously.

"Hurry up and eat! I specially made Hagi Mochi for you Shimi this afternoon. I think the red bean flavored Hagi Mochi I made today is very delicious!"

Qianqing graciously pushed the thick porcelain disc full of black, yellow, brown and three-color hagi cakes towards the bamboo horse, with a look of anticipation.

Undead Kawa Minya: "..."

Although she had been exposed by this guy before, but she said it again in front of so many people... Shimi felt her hands start to itch again.

However, maybe it was because the hagi pancakes in front of him really looked delicious, or maybe it was because the black-haired girl's bright and expectant eyes were too dreamy against the warm orange light. After a few seconds of silence, he just clicked his tongue heavily.

"Tsk, what are you looking at me for! Do you want me to feed you?"

Immortal Kawa Miniya, who was admired by everyone as a magical creature, grinned, revealing a ferocious child-eating smile.

It's a pity that the girls in the Butterfly House were a little afraid that Undead Sichuan would all hide in another room for dinner. The people present now - Butterfly Kanae, Asari Uzuki, Chiharu, and Zuihei Inosuke are not children.

Although the last one is of the right age, his words, deeds (self-proclaimed King of the Mountain Inosuke), and appearance (wearing a wild boar hood) do not look like children at all, so they can be completely excluded.

Therefore, no one was frightened by his ferocious smile full of murderous intent.

"Hey~ I didn't expect you to like hagi cakes in Bushikawa? It's just right, I want to organize the girls from Butterfly House to cook together after I come back from the mission in a few days. Do you need us to add hagi cakes to the menu?"

Butterfly Chana Hui seemed to have discovered a new world, she raised her eyebrows, and her smiling purple eyes were full of banter.

"Hmph, I actually like that kind of sweet and greasy stuff, which is not as tasteful as my mountain king Inosuke!"

Inosuke threw a tempura fried shrimp into his mouth, and cast a disgusted glance at Undead Kawamiya and Hagi Mochi in front of him.

"Your Excellency Inosuke, although men who like sweets are relatively rare, they do exist. I think it is not good to be discriminated against because of this."

Asari Uzuki persuaded Inosuke very sincerely, trying to add to his almost nonexistent worldview.

However, his sincere advice from the heart made Shimi's face even more ashen.

"If you don't want to eat, how about I cut down the dining table for you?"

Shimi pushed her thumb up, flashed the sharp blade, and looked around blankly, successfully suppressing the other people's teasing eyes.

Although I don't get along much, Immortal Kawasami is a guy who dares to contradict the lord after all. I believe he won't blink his eyes after he finishes doing such trivial things as cutting a table with a knife.

So, in order not to go to bed hungry, everyone tacitly stopped making fun of Shimi, picked up chopsticks and reached for their favorite dishes.

"The tempura belongs to Inosuke-sama! Don't any of you try to snatch it from me!"

"It's not good for you, Inosuke, I want to share good things with everyone."

"Forget it Chiharu, Inosuke can correctly name Tempura, it's a reward tonight."

"Kanae, you'll spoil him like this."

"It's okay, Inosuke is a good boy, and he won't turn bad because of this little thing, right?"

"I'm the king of the mountain, so I'm not a good boy!"

Although the tone of Inosuke's answer was still very impatient, when no one was paying attention, he quietly pushed the tempura plate in his arms forward, and let it barely reach a place where people next to him could reach out with their chopsticks.

Qian Qing, who was opposite him, had a panoramic view of these small movements, and the eyebrows and eyes were more gentle.

Hey~ Kanae is really good at dealing with children, no wonder the girls in Butterfly House like her so much.In contrast, the original Minya was...

"What kind of eyes do you have!" Received Qianqing's slightly meaningful eyes, Immortal Kawa Minya, who was just about to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of tofu, almost broke the chopsticks in his hand.

Eat and eat!And look at him with a disgusting expression!Do you want to blame him for not having the first hagi biscuit?No one eats sweets at the beginning of a meal!

"It's nothing, it's just a pity." Qianqing looked away nonchalantly, and picked up the salmon with her chopsticks.

Although Minya was very twisted and cute when she was a child, but compared with the understanding and gentle big sister, she is still a lot worse~

"...Forget it, I'll settle the score with you after dinner." Undead Kawa Miniya, who knows her Omei's personality very well, gave up pursuing the matter for the time being in order to prevent her indigestion, and decided to concentrate on eating first.

However, the chopsticks that he originally stretched towards the stuffed tofu paused in the air for a moment, and then stretched out towards the plate of beautiful and delicate Hagi cakes in front of him.And instead of the black one on the top, there was a reddish-brown one on the side farther away from him.

The smile in the eyes of Qianqing who had a panoramic view of all this deepened.She pursed her lips, said nothing more, and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of red bean-flavored Hagi biscuit, and happily took a small bite.

Mmm, so sweet~

Glancing at someone's satisfied smile from the corner of the eye, the corners of Mimi Kawakawa's mouth curled up, feeling that Butterfly Kanae's teasing smile on the opposite side was not so dazzling.

After a pleasant dinner, Qianqing wanted to stay and help clean up the mess, but Kanae pushed her out with a smile.

"Qianqing, you haven't seen Bushichuan for such a long time. Hurry up and have a chat. After half an hour, you won't even be able to see his haori horns. And the king of the mountain, Inosuke, will help me clean up these things. The little dish you mentioned, right?"

"That's right! Master Inosuke doesn't pay attention to such a small plate, look at me! The pig is advancing hahaha!!!"

"Your Excellency Inosuke, please be careful! This will break all the plates!"

"Stay out of the way!!!"

……

Seeing the back of Inosuke rushing into the kitchen with the plate in his arms, Chiharu shook his head secretly, suddenly feeling like he was getting old.

Ahhh, a carefree child is still full of energy, and can dance with energy for every little thing.Just like when she was a child, she could quarrel with Shimi for half an afternoon over whether the red bean-flavored Hagi pancake was delicious or the sesame-flavored Hagi pancake was delicious, but now——

"follow me."

Immortal Kawa Minami, who was full of food and drink, had no change in expression, maintaining a cool and cold face, leading Qianqing to turn left and right, and turned into an empty room with a thin layer of dust on the floor.

"I'll leave in a quarter of an hour." After closing the door behind his back and turning on the light, Shimi lowered his head slightly, looking at Chiharu who was dressed in pure white and seemed a little out of place in this dark room.

It was a forgotten utility room, with chipped tub stones and broken glass in the corners.

Because the room has not been used for a long time, and the electric light is not working well, the light is so dim that I can't see myself clearly in the eyes of the people in front of me.

"For a quarter of an hour, Shimi, you are really the same as before..." Thinking about the little boy who said he was going home to work after playing around, Qianqing twitched the corners of her mouth, but didn't laugh, "Aren't you tired? "

"Not tired." Undead Kawa Minami's expression remained unchanged, and he answered very simply, "Compared to those messy things, have you thought about how to explain your hand to me, and why you appear here?"

Although when we first met, Shimi hesitated for a while because he was afraid of poking Qianqing's sore spot, but he still didn't ask her why she became like this.

But now that he was about to leave for the mission, Immortal Kawashiya still decided to ask the question clearly first, otherwise he would not even think about falling asleep along the way.

"...something happened, the temple is gone, and I have nowhere to go. I lived the dreamed retirement life ahead of time, and started to travel around... There is nothing wrong with it."

Qianqing lowered her eyes, her slender eyelashes like a small fan cast a shadow, covering her eyes.

But even if there is no clue in the expression and body movements, the sentence "the temple is no longer there" alone is enough for Shimi.

"...It's pretty good."

After a long silence, Undead Kawa Miniya slowly gave an answer.

In his impression, Qianqing was a very squeamish little crying boy, the kind who could cry for a long time if she fell and scratched her oily skin.He thinks he is smart and bold, but he only dares to bully his own people. When he encounters outsiders, he will wither, and will only drag his clothes to hide behind him.

That's why he was so surprised when he saw her trembling hands.

Having been wounded for a long time, he became a doctor. After embarking on the road of killing ghosts, Immortal Kawasami has suffered a lot of major and minor injuries.So he knew very well what would happen to an injury that would leave such serious sequelae.

That was the severe pain that he couldn't help but cry out in pain, far exceeding the ability of that squeamish little crying bag.

Suffering such an injury and losing the temple she lived in since she was a child, how did she survive at that time?

Undead Kawa Minya couldn't imagine it.

However, she survived, and he was able to see her again, it was really good.

She twitched the corners of her mouth in a self-deprecating manner, and Shiya lowered her eyes.

It was all over long ago, why on earth did he insist on asking?Anyway, he can't do anything, he can only tear open the opponent's wound, and then slash himself...

"Shimi, what's your expression? Are you going to cry?"

A voice with a playful smile interrupted Shimi's thoughts, he raised his head, and met Qianqing's eyes that had regained their bright smile.

"Don't worry, I can't see my hands tucked into my sleeves. Anyway, I don't like to do it. It's not a big deal." Qian Qing was serious, without blushing and said lazy words, "Cutting off ghosts' necks is such a laborious thing. , I will leave it to Shimi.”

'Of course! '

Immortal Kawashimi promised firmly in his heart, raised his chin on the surface, and his upturned eyes were full of disdain: "I didn't expect you to do this kind of thing even if you couldn't lift a bucket."

"Shimi, you are too much! I can still lift the bucket!"

"Yeah, if the bucket of water you bring back is half-empty and you make yourself a drowned chicken, it's considered a mention."

"Tch...Since you look down on me so much, Shimi, why do you still entrust the swordsmith to beat this wakizashi?" Qianqing, who was exposed, was not discouraged, her dark eyes rolled and landed on the waist of Immortal Kawashimi. On the Wakizashi, "Don't tell me this Wakizawa, Shiya, you called here to use it yourself."

"From childhood to adulthood, once you set the direction of major events, you never change it. Now that the one-sword style has been trained to Zhu's level, I don't think you will suddenly want to try the two-sword style."

"Huh? Could it be that besides you, I don't even have anyone to give a knife to?" With a sneer, Undead Kawa Minami glanced coldly at Qianqing.

"On the way, Kanae said oh~ Master Fengzhu has never confiscated his stepson, and he doesn't have any friendly soldiers." In order to take care of Zhuma's self-esteem, Qianqing answered this question in a more subtle manner from the side, and then before he violently beat others , and quickly added the second half of the sentence, "And on the jaw of Wakizawa's octagonal star knife, a small sun is engraved on the corner of each star, which is exactly the same as the wooden hairpin that you gave me, Shimi."

"..." The evidence was so strong, Immortal Kawa Minami gave up the rebuttal, and silently looked away.

"However, a total of eight stars have been engraved... Shimi, you want to use Wakizashi as my eight-year birthday present? Isn't it too perfunctory?!" Qian Qing, who had found a breakthrough, raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her raised mouth made the thin His cheeks became a little puffed up, and Shimi's hands felt a little itchy when he saw it, "Forget about the four years I haven't seen in between, and on your next birthday, you can't forget my gift!"

Saying that, Chiharu stretched out her right hand, aiming directly at Wakizawa, who was stuck in Miniya's waist.

"What are you doing! It's still far away from your birthday!" Shimi staggered to avoid Qianqing's hand, and the wakizashi, which was not buckled with a leather buckle, swayed around his waist and slipped away from Qianqing's fingertips. "And before asking others for gifts, shouldn't you pay back what you owe?"

"What is owed?" Qianqing tilted her head in doubt, and when Shimi's face turned livid broke through the dim light, she burst out laughing, "Anxin, how could I forget Shimi's birthday present~"

The girl's left hand, which had been hanging by her side, suddenly stretched out and slowly opened, revealing a knotted rope with black ends and then gradually changing to pure white in the middle.

"It's a bit early, but happy birthday, Minya."

At present, knots are generally used as decorations by nobles and rich people, and most of them are bright colors.Knotted ropes made of black, white and grey, such as the one in front of you, are very rare. Anyone who sees them will exclaim that this fine silk thread was wasted for nothing.

"...Using three colors? It seems to be a little bit better than before."

Shimi couldn't help but raised her eyebrows, bent her head down and approached, looking critically at the knotted rope in Qianqing's hand.

"However, in four years, you have only made such a rope?"

"This is not an ordinary knotted rope!" Because Shimi was too close, the heat of her breath hit Chiharu's palm, so she took back her left hand, retracted it in front of her body, and used the thumb and index finger of her right hand to draw the knot in the knot. The knotted rope wrapped twice in the palm of the hand picked it up, "Look in the middle, there are unicorns and hagi cakes!"

"..." The unicorn and the hagi cake are in the middle of the knot?What's the mess?

The corner of his mouth twitched, and with his extraordinary eyesight, Immortal Kawasami saw clearly in the dim light that in the middle of the knot, the middle part woven with snow-white silk thread actually had a symmetrical bifurcated horn. A black unicorn, and beside this unicorn, there is a reddish-brown round cake with irregular edges.

"Why is it red bean-flavored Hagi cake?" After staring at each other silently for a while, Undead Kawa Minami frowned and asked, "Obviously the main color is black and white, why did a brown thing suddenly appear? "

"Because I like the red bean-flavored hagi cake the most, and this brown hagi cake represents me." Qianqing poked the 'hagi cake' which was about the size of her little finger with her index finger, and then clicked on the unicorn next to it , "And this unicorn is Shimi."

"When I grow up, there will be all kinds of troublesome things. I probably can't be the same as when I was a child, spending birthdays with each other every time."

"That's why I worked very hard to weave this knot! On the days when we can't see each other, Shimi, when you look at this red bean-flavored Hagi cake, just treat it as if I'm by your side!"

After finishing speaking, Chiharu stretched out Shiya's right hand without saying anything, and put the knotted rope in his palm.

The dim yellow light flickered for a moment, and it seemed to be a little brighter, outlining the girl's bright and flying smile. The wide white kimono covered her thin body, revealing a section of the white neck and collarbone.

"Comparing yourself to hagi cake... Only you can do such a stupid thing."

With disgusting words on his lips, Shimi quickly clenched his right hand holding the knotted rope into a fist, and with his left hand, he took off the yoke around his waist, paused for a moment, and handed it to Qianqing.

"Happy birthday, put it in the room to ward off evil spirits, don't use it to hurt others."

"Yes~ I must put it in the most conspicuous place in the room."

Qianqing reached out to take Wakizawa, and after gesticulating, she decided to go back and change a bigger bag for herself so that she could put the knife in it.

After all, her hands would tremble and she couldn't hold the knife, so instead of wearing this sun-shaped knife around her waist to tell the ghost about her identity, she might as well put it away as a decorative gift.

It's just a pity, it's rare that Shimi specially asked a swordsmith to make it for her...

"Where are you going next? Continue traveling?"

The time is coming, although it is only the time limit set by himself, Shi Ya intends to strictly abide by it.

After all, the sudden appearance of Zhu Wan, who shoulders a heavy responsibility, may lead to the disappearance of innocent lives.

Having rested and resolved the biggest cloud in his heart, he had to go.

Moreover, if he indulged himself to stay once, he might not be able to leave in the future.

"Almost, I will leave after resting for another four or five days. When will Shimi come back next time?"

"...in four or five days." Immortal Kawa Miniya, who planned to come back at the Zhuhe meeting a week later, changed his words silently, and decided to speed up and shorten the task time in the next few days.

"Really? Then it looks like we can meet again before I leave!" Qianqing clasped her hands happily, her crooked black eyes filled with stars, "See you in five days!"

"Hmm." With a slight nod, Immortal Kawa Minami turned around sharply, and opened the doorknob.

The moment the bright lights in the corridor came into his eyes, he felt a little headache after a while.

Tsk, if you don't pay the price of serious injuries, you have to complete the task within five days, it will be very troublesome.

But if you come back with an injury... Thinking about the scene where the thin girl, whose body is so thin that the wind can blow it away, is holding onto the corner of her clothes and crying, Shimi shivered, shook her head, and left quickly.

As for Qianqing, who was standing in the utility room, her gaze followed the white haori that had disappeared and her eyelashes drooped as she rolled across the corner. She stood there quietly for a while before taking a step forward.

"Qianqing, have you finished communicating with Immortal Chuan?"

Kanae seems to have clairvoyance, Chiharu suddenly appeared as soon as she took a step forward, making people very suspicious that she was always around.

Seeing Wakizawa in Chiharu's hands, Kanae smiled even wider.

"It seems that the result of the exchange is good~"

"That is, although Shimi looks a bit fierce now, but inside she is still as gentle and lovely as before."

"Really?" Kanae smiled a bit reluctantly, trying not to let herself imagine the picture of her irascible colleague showing a gentle and lovely smile, and talked about her real intention of coming, "It's convenient, Qianqing, can you go to the lord's house tomorrow morning a trip?"

"Huh? Ah, is sister Tianyin meeting me?" Qianqing's eyes lit up, and she walked towards the entrance, "Anyway, it's still early, so I'll go there first."

"But there will be ghosts at night..."

"It's okay, I'm running fast, I'll be fine."

"Even if you say that, Qianqing... Today, the Butterfly House is still understaffed as usual. I really can't leave without coming back. But if you let Qianqing go alone, I'm afraid I will be immersed in anxiety all night." Kanae ignored Seeing Qianqing's earnest expression, she sighed wearily, raised her hand and pinched the center of her brow as if she couldn't bear it, "There are a lot of things to do tonight, and yesterday there was a new one who was killed by evil spirits and hid in the The little girl crying secretly in bed..."

"I will definitely leave after the sun comes out tomorrow morning. If I leave the Butterfly House before, I will be called a little cry by Shimi every day!"

Qianqing helplessly interrupted Kanae's words, and she found that she was caught by this beautiful sister - she couldn't see a gentle, kind and beautiful person being embarrassed.

Alas, there is no way, good-looking people and good-natured people always have some privileges, and she likes it anyway.

After finishing speaking, seeing Butterfly Kanae standing there with a complicated expression on her face, Qianqing thoughtfully gave her some time to digest, waved her hand and walked towards the kitchen.

"Then I'll make some desserts and take them to Sister Tianyin tomorrow morning, and I'll cook tomorrow's breakfast with Yin's people, Kanae, you can rest well~"

"Well... Then I will trouble you, Qianqing."

With hindsight, she waved her hand in the direction where Chiharu disappeared. Although the white figure had disappeared, her hot and bright smile when she was leaving was still reflected in Kanae's retina, which lasted for a long time.

"It's a pity that Qianqing doesn't want to stay for a long time. If the butterfly house can always have such a little sun, the mood of the wounded team members and the new girls will be much better, right?"

Regretfully muttering a few words to herself, Kanae, who still had a lot of things to do, didn't spend too much time on being sentimental, and quickly adjusted her mood, with a warm smile, she walked towards the ward go.

***

Early the next morning, when the team members entering the rehabilitation period hadn't woken up before dawn, Qianqing got up.

After quickly washing and changing clothes, the black-haired girl walked into the kitchen with full of energy, drained the red bean water she had soaked last night, poured it into the frying pan, added water again, covered the pot and boiled it on high heat.During this period, she took out the trays and cutlery according to the number that Ms. Goto said yesterday, then turned off the heat and opened the lid, and poured the cooked red beans into the sieve amidst the faint aroma of red beans in the room. net.

"Ah——! It's so dangerous, is this big iron pot used for frying big pots of vegetables? It's too heavy!" Qianqing's trembling hands lost strength when tilting the pot, and the handle almost dropped and hit herself all over.

In the end, leaning on her elbows on the cooking countertop, Qianqing managed to stabilize the cauldron in her hand, and poured all the beans into the strainer without any risk.

After that, Qianqing put the cauldron in the corner of the cooking table in distaste, and then put the strainer filled with red beans under the faucet and rinsed it carefully to remove the astringent smell of red beans.

After rinsing, she found a smaller frying pan from the cupboard, washed it, poured the red beans into it, added water and boiled it again on high heat. In the increasingly rich aroma of red beans, she washed the rice, cooked rice, and marinated fish. Turn off the heat when the plump red beans bloom.After pouring out the gray water, put the pot directly into the sink, turn on the faucet until there is only a thin line left, let the water flow slowly wash away the impurities and astringency of the beans, until the water in the pot becomes clear and visible.

At this time, the sky had begun to turn white, the dense night slowly faded, and the brilliance of the stars and the moon gradually disappeared.

"I haven't done it for a long time, and I feel a little unfamiliar."

Looking at the sky outside, Qianqing decided to speed up.

After silently saying 'I'm sorry I don't have time to let you guys cultivate your relationship*', Qianqing directly added a small bowl of sugar to the pot, covered the pot and boiled it on high heat for the third time.

"It smells delicious, Miss Qianqing, are you making red bean soup?"

Goto floated towards the kitchen with half-closed eyes, and was about to start a new day of work when he was suddenly driven away by the strong aroma of red beans on the road.After she quickened her pace and walked into the kitchen, she was even more surprised by the steaming wooden bucket of marinated fish on the cooking table, as well as the neatly arranged tableware.

"You even prepared breakfast? What a shame."

The cute girls who are younger than me all come to work in the kitchen early in the morning. In contrast, she who is still greedy for the bed in summer is really unreasonable!

"It's just that I have a lot of time to cook red beans, so I just made a little." Smelling the aroma, she felt that it was almost done. Qianqing lifted the lid of the pot and turned the heat to medium heat. She erected the spatula and slowly moved along the edge in the same direction. Stirring, "But I'm going to keep stirring this side, I'll leave breakfast to Miss Goto~"

"No problem! You've helped me a lot."

After confirming that the rice was cooked and turning off the fire, Goto took out the earthen pots containing pickled vegetables and natto from the cabinet above his head, and while putting the vegetables in the small dish on the cooking table, he secretly looked at the stove and looked carefully. Chiharu who was stirring red beans.

Goto had also heard about the gossip going around in the Butterfly House yesterday. Although she heard that the two were childhood sweethearts, she couldn't imagine Miss Qianqing who was like a delicate flower in a greenhouse and Master Immortal Chuan who could stop a child from crying at night with a stare and sneer The picture together...

"Well, Ms. Goto, can you please help me bring over the small bowl of caramel over there? It's the bowl with the picture of a small fish."

When Naito was trying to restrain her overactive imagination early in the morning, Chiharu who was stirring the red bean paste suddenly called out to her.

"Ah, okay."

Goto, who stopped his crazy associations, helped to hand over the small bowl farthest from the cooking table to Qianqing, and got a smile sweeter than a room full of honey and red beans.

"Thank you~"

"No, you're welcome."

Sure enough, I still can't imagine it!Such a sweet and lovely girl who cooks well, not to mention the grumpy Immortal Chuan-sama, even the silent Tomioka-sama is not good enough!

Qianqing, who was still concentrating on cooking red beans, didn't know about Goto's small theater. After pouring caramel, she gently stirred the red beans in the pot, trying her best not to break the soft beans.

Slowly, the water turned into white steam and disappeared, and the plump dark red beans flowed in the ruby-like crystal sand, making people want to hold their breath so beautifully.

"All right!"

You're done, after pouring the red bean paste into two large plates in batches to cool, Qianqing didn't stop, took out a deep bowl from the cupboard, added eggs, milk, sugar, honey, butter, baking soda, stirred well with egg whip, and then slowly Sift the flour in, then stir into a smooth flourless batter.

After finishing all this, Qianqing put the deep bowl on the corner of the cooking table, took out the frying pan, set it on the stove and poured oil, and started frying fish with Goto.

"Ah, I can do the rest. Miss Qianqing, you can continue with your—" Goto paused hesitantly because he didn't know what Qianqing had been tinkering with.

"It's okay, the dorayaki batter needs to be left to stand for a while before using. I'll help Miss Goto fry these fish first."

When the oil was almost hot, Qian Qing gently put down the fish pieces along the edge of the pan, and with the sound of crackling oil stars, skillfully swirled clockwise towards the center of the pan, filling the entire pan with fish pieces.

"Wow—— Miss Qianqing, you look very skilled." Seeing Qianqing's skillful and light movements, Goto let go of the last trace of worry, and praised her without hesitation.

Unexpectedly!Although she looks like a young lady who doesn't eat fireworks, Miss Qianqing actually smiles and is approachable without saying a word, and she is also a small cooking expert!

"Well, although it's just a simple breakfast, I also feel that I have improved a lot compared to the past." As she said that, Qianqing turned the fish one by one with a spatula, her starry eyes were full of pride, "It's a pity that Shimi had a good meal yesterday. I just left, and I couldn’t eat the dorayaki I carefully made today.”

Saying that, the black-haired girl with beaming eyebrows giggled as if she thought of something interesting.

"But if he sees me frying fish so skillfully, he will definitely be shocked. It's a pity that he didn't get to see this classic scene~"

Scared Lord Undead Chuan?

Goto shook the hand holding the spatula, almost shoveling the fish in the pot into pieces.

She is a weak and pitiful backer, and she really can't stand such exciting imaginations, please let me go!

Chiharu, who was concentrating on cooking, didn't notice Goto's broken expression. She took the fried fish out of the pan and gently put it in a small plate on the table.

"Okay, now we can finally start frying the pancakes."

When Goto also put the fish on the plate and lifted the lid of the rice pot to add more rice, Qianqing took out a pan from the closet and heated it on the stove. Keeping it as steady as you can on the countertop, and tilting your wrist, pour the batter into the pan to form a nice round shape.

After the first one succeeded, Qianqing exhaled lightly, and then poured several batter cakes into the pot in the same way, but although she tried her best to stabilize her elbows, two or three dough pancakes became deformed due to the trembling of her wrists. It becomes a circle with irregular edges.

"Sure enough, it has become like this..."

Pour out the golden and fluffy pancakes that were fried on both sides and let them cool on the rack. Looking at the last three unsightly defective products, Qianqing frowned and muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity that Shimi ran away, otherwise someone will take care of it." They're gone."

"What do you want me to solve?"

The warm air brought a familiar arrogance, and when Goto reflexively hid in the corner with his rice bucket trembling, Qianqing turned around in surprise, and saw Shi Shi standing outside the wide open kitchen door, whose expression could not be seen clearly against the light. Mi.

"Shimi, didn't you go on a mission? Could it be that you awakened some super power and killed all the ghosts in one night?"

Chiharu put down the bowl containing the batter in her hand, stopped making dorayaki, and looked up and down Immortal Kawasami with strange eyes of surprise.

Although she really wanted to chat more with the bamboo horse she hadn't seen for many years, but if he really left behind the blood feud and the additional heavy responsibility and came back to chat with her, she would suspect that he was someone else's fake.

"I have business to do!" Immediately before the big event, Immortal Kawa Miniya decided not to bother with Qian Qing about such a trivial matter.After walking in quickly, he waved the letter with red wax paint in his hand to her, "What is the origin of that Chaoli Yuyue? Why is he connected with the Italian mafia?"

"Italian Mafia?"

Qianqing took the white and smooth envelope with a pine scent in Shimi's hand, and with a flick of her wrist, she saw the delicate and intricate seal on the sealing wax.

"VONGOLA?"

Qian Qing, who had only learned a few sentences of English from Angela's side, guessed and read the letters under the seal.

"Although this family has just been established, the speed of expanding its territory is very fast, and it has the momentum of Italy's number one gangster." Unlike Qian Qing, who is purely curious, Shimi's brows are so wrinkled that they can kill flies, and her tone is grumpy, " So is that guy Butterfly! He agreed so readily to transfer the outsider's letter to Butterfly House, who knows what's in the letter!"

"Such a thin envelope, what's so great about it." Qian Qing was a little puzzled by her sudden irritability.

If it was a mailed letter, it would be understandable for him to be worried that the information of the Ghost Slayer Squad would be leaked, but this is just an ordinary paper letter, why should he be worried?

"...the Italian Mafia has many messy abilities and means, but you don't know about it." After a moment of silence, Undead Kawa Minya didn't answer directly, and dismissed the topic lightly.

However, he forgot that what he was facing at this time was Xiao Qingmei who was very curious and didn't like being perfunctory.

Seeing that Mimi refused to answer her own question honestly, Qianqing blinked, put the letter on the cooking table casually, picked up the two irregular-edged noodles on the edge of the drying rack, spread a layer of red bean paste in the middle, and handed the letter to the table. Give yourself the bamboo horse in the crank.

"This is the end of the matter, Shimi, please calm down and eat a dorayaki, I made it myself~"

"A dorayaki with such a weird shape is also called a dorayaki?" While distasteful, Mimi stretched out his hand reluctantly and took the ugly dorayaki, "If you can't afford a pot, don't come to the kitchen to join in the fun." Now, honestly—"

While Minami's attention was mostly on the dorayaki, Chiharu picked up the letter on the cooking table again, opened the wax while running outside, and took out the letter paper.

"!!!" Realizing that he was being tricked, Immortal Kawasami almost gasped, "You idiot crying! This is not something you can play with!"

"There's nothing threatening in here, it's fine~" Holding the opened envelope with her right hand held high, Qianqing turned around in the corridor, showing herself intact, "And Shimi, you believe it anyway." Take a look at your green plum and the eyes of your colleagues. With us three good people as guarantees, you should trust Mr. Chaoli more~"

"Oh, good person is not a good word." Smiling ironically, Immortal Kawa Miniya didn't say anything more.

Kind people always die first, the world will never treat you kindly just because you are a kind person.

"It doesn't matter if it's a good word or not, as long as you believe it, Shimi." Qianqing refolded the letter paper full of beautiful cursive characters, put it in the envelope, put it in Shimi's hand, and walked back to the kitchen by herself. "Shimi, send the letter to the west, send this letter to its owner, and make up your own mind for me by the way.
