Vengley headquarters in Sicily, Italy.

The orange-red sunset covered the sky, the thick floor-length curtains of the window were slightly blown by the wind, and the setting sun that came in from the opened window on the other side dyed the whole room in a dim yellow color.

"Squalo has returned from Las Vegas. This is the last stronghold. According to the intelligence of the former assassination captain of the Estoraneo family who defected, the remnants of the Estoraneo family have all been wiped out." .”

Behind the desk, the leader of Pengelie's ninth generation crossed his fingers on the table, with a calm expression, "Thank you for your hard work, reborn."

The black-haired killer who looked like a child smiled slightly, and his eyes paused slightly between Jiudaimu's fingers.There is a deep circle-shaped mark on the middle finger of the old man's right hand, which is left by wearing rings all the year round.However, the ring that symbolizes the supreme glory and responsibility of the Pengo Lie family has been taken down and kept in an unknown place.

Reborn's gaze stayed on the ring mark for a long time before slowly moving away.Just after the New Year's Eve, the wind blowing in from the window was wrapped in a bit of coolness, and the air outlet of the central air conditioner directly above continuously sent warm air "hissing" in through the pipe.

"Has the situation gotten this bad?"

The person opposite him didn't speak, and after a while, he let out a long and exhausted sigh.

"Plan for a rainy day."

Peng Gelie's ninth-generation leader turned his head and looked out the window at the setting sun that was about to set. The room was quiet for a while.

"How about that kid?"

Reborn raised the brim of his hat, with a calm expression on his face, "I haven't visited it yet, the latest news over there is that he has recently mixed up with the third king."

"Go see him."

Kudaime withdrew his gaze from the window, and landed on his empty finger.The old man seemed to see something through the imprint left behind, and murmured to himself, "I hope my decision is right."

The sun was setting, and the setting sun on the horizon dyed half of the clouds in the sky red.Layers of fire clouds seem to indicate that tomorrow will be a good weather.

Natsume was walking on the path home, holding a big paper bag in his arms.The spring wind blows in front of you, and the fresh green grass leaves on both sides of the road fluctuate in the wind, and the unique aroma of the steamed buns of Nanachi House is carried by the wind and sprinkled all the way.

"Mantou, mantou... Natsume, quickly give me a mantou!"

Natsume Takashi lifted his arm holding the paper bag up, avoiding the three-flowered cat that was jumping up and rushing to eat, and decisively ignored his request, "Mr. Kitty, let's eat with Sawada-san when I go back."

"Hmph! Why are you so nice to that little girl!"

The fat three-colored cat fell on the ground, and a frog that crawled out early because of the warming temperature was crushed by the cat's belly.The unlucky frog passing by was forced out with a miserable "croak!" which startled Mr. Cat, and Brother Frog took advantage of the opportunity when it jumped away, and flew back into the field like flying.

"Because Sawada-san is a guest, and Mr. Cat, you are so much older than Sawada-san, don't keep fussing with children."

The cat teacher let out a disdainful "hum" from Natsume's nostrils, and a pair of round cat eyes unconsciously followed the frog hopping in the field. The cat's nature made its claws a little bit Itches a little and I want to pounce on it.

Looking at him, Natsume sighed helplessly and a little funnyly, "Mr. Cat, hurry back, the steamed buns won't taste good when they get cold."

"I don't need you to tell me!"

Natsume got back early today, not even time for dinner.Saying hello to Aunt Toko who was cooking in the kitchen downstairs, and sharing some steamed buns, Natsume went upstairs, opened the door, and saw the little girl with long silver hair kneeling by the window, Flipping through the book he gave her before going out in the morning.Her sitting posture and sitting position were almost the same as what he saw before he left, as if she had just sat here in silence for a whole day.

"I'm back, Sawada-san."

Natsume Takashi walked into the room and closed the door behind him.The fat three-flowered cat rushed into the room with an agility that was completely inconsistent with its plump body, and lay down in front of the silver-haired little girl, staring at the steamed bun in Natsume's hand with piercing eyes.

The silver-haired little girl put down the book in her hand, slowly turned her head and nodded politely, "Natsume-kun."

She looked at the steamed bun Natsume handed over, took it in a daze, then looked at the owner of the room, and blinked.

"That's Nanazenya's steamed buns. It's delicious, Sawada-san, you can try it."

Under her clear gaze, the tea-haired boy scratched his cheeks a little embarrassedly. On the other side, Mr. Cat, who was squatting on the ground, began to pat his paws impatiently, "Natsume, Mantou!"

"I see, Teacher Cat."

Natsume took out another steamed bun from the paper bag and handed it over. Sanhua cat couldn't wait to jump up and grab it away.

"Mr. Cat, eat slowly."

"Baji, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..."

Natsume watched the chubby cat eat most of the steamed buns in three or two bites. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that the little girl on the other side was holding the steamed buns in both hands and began to bite slowly. The boy was quietly relieved.

Natsume Takashi picked up the little girl named Sawada Ya on the way home from school yesterday.

At that time, the sky was full of sunshine like today, and Mr. Cat was clamoring to eat steamed buns from Nanqianya as always. He and Mr. Cat were arguing as they walked home, and saw a chubby white fluffy dumpling from a distance. Sitting on the edge of the field, the nearby little monsters unconsciously detoured when passing by it.

At first, Natsume thought it was some kind of monster, and was going to go around, but after getting a little closer, he happened to meet the eyes of the fluffy ball that raised its head.Natsume was slightly taken aback, only to realize that the person sitting there was actually a child wrapped in a white down jacket.Because the thick down jacket wrapped her body to expand her size, and her long silver curly hair was hanging outside, and she was sitting on the field ridge with her legs crossed and shrunk into a ball, so It was only when I looked at it from a distance that I was mistaken for a fluffy dumpling.

Although it is still not possible to rule out the possibility that this child is a monster that looks more like a human, Natsume finally took her home.Then once he got home, he was relieved that he had made this decision, because the little girl was indeed human.

"Hey, Natsume, who is this kid?"

Aunt Toko looked at the little loli who was led into the house by Natsume's hand with a look of surprise on her face.

"Uh, that... This is the younger sister of a friend of mine. There is something going on in his family these days, let me take care of it."

Unexpectedly, Aunt Toko could actually see her, and Natsume Takashi choked back an excuse full of loopholes in a hurry.But fortunately, Aunt Tazi didn't think much about it. Seeing the cute look of the silver-haired little girl looking up at her, she immediately smiled.

"Welcome to my house as a guest, Miss, what's your name?"

The gentle woman in home clothes knelt down in front of her and stretched out her hand with a smile. The silver-haired loli looked at her quietly, her slender eyelashes blinked slightly, and her shadow was reflected in those eyes that were as clear as lake water.

"My name is... Sawada Ya."

But apart from knowing that her name is Sawada Ya, Natsume Takashi couldn't ask any other information.Where is her home and why did she appear here? Little Lolita asked him everything, and just looked at him blankly with a pair of beautiful big eyes.So, under these crystal-clear eyes, Natsume couldn't ask any other questions, and could only sigh helplessly.

Fortunately, compared to other children of the same age, little Lolita is really well-behaved and very quiet.The only headache is that since Natsume picked her up outside, she has been looking unhappy.Even when Natsume gave her the cat teacher to play with (Cat teacher: Hey!), the little loli just stroked the cat's soft hair and didn't move.

It's nerve-wracking, how to coax a child who is unhappy.

Natsume has a bit of a headache, he has never gotten along well with children so much younger than himself, even the steamed buns he bought today were passed by Qiqianya, and Mr. Cat clamored to eat them, so he remembered that he could buy them back Give Sawada a taste.

In this regard, do girls have more experience?

Natsume looked at the little loli who was obediently sitting on the side without talking after eating the steamed buns, and decided to make a phone call with Duoku classmate for advice.Or, he doesn't have to go to school tomorrow, so he can take her to find Duogui and Tanuma to play?

Natsume held the paper bag in his hand, thinking about tomorrow's plan in his head, his eyes unconsciously fell on the book spread out in front of little Lolita, and then he was slightly taken aback.He hadn't noticed just now that this wasn't actually the one he gave her before going out in the morning.

Because she was going to school today, Natsume couldn't bring little Lori to school, and she was afraid that she would be bored staying at home alone, so she found a book for her.It was a comic, he had read it when he was a child, it was a hilarious adventure story, he thought children would like it.But at this time, the manga had been put back on the table, and a colorful picture book was spread out in front of Sawada Ya.

It should have been taken on the bookshelf, Natsume looked at the colorful page of the picture book.Before he went out in the morning, he did point out the location of the bookshelf to little Lori, and told her that if she finished reading, she could go to the bookshelf to get other books by herself.This one... Natsume looked at the large night sky painted in dark blue on the pages of the book and the dots of stars hanging in the night sky. A round little frog squatted under the night sky with its head up, its back looked a little lonely.

Natsume remembered that this book was lent to him by a former classmate of Duogui, and he hadn't had time to return it to her after reading it a few days ago.

The story of this picture book is actually very simple.A little frog living next to a water lake became friends with a butterfly passing by by chance. Before the butterfly left, she made an appointment with the little frog to come and see it in a while.But the little frog waited and waited for a long time, but he never waited for his good friend to arrive.Later, it packed up and saluted and decided to go out to find it.The picture book describes the story of the little frog meeting various small animals during his travels, making friends while continuing to search for butterflies.

Now the silver-haired Lolita opened in front of her. She was staring at the page in a daze. Natsume remembered that it was a scene of a little frog missing his friend under the starry sky.

The tea-haired boy handed the paper bag to Mr. Cat who was writhing on the ground after gnawing on the steamed buns again, and walked to sit next to the little girl.

"Sawada-san, are you looking for someone too?"

The slender eyelashes of the silver-haired little girl moved slightly, she looked back at the person sitting beside her, and nodded quietly.

"Then...you haven't found it yet?"

Little Loli lowered her head slightly, her long silver curly hair slid down the side of her face, she pursed her lips, her voice was as soft as a butterfly flapping its wings, Natsume listened carefully and only heard the last few words.

"……not here."

He guessed whose name those vague syllables were.Natsume thought for a while, "Sawada-san, do you want to continue looking?"

Sawada continued to nod.

"Then, don't be depressed. Isn't this the way to see him all the time?" Natsume Takashi smiled at her reassuringly, his voice soft like the wind blowing through the fields, "And it's not just Sawada-san I'm working hard, the other party must be missing and looking for you, Sawada-san."

Sawada was slightly taken aback.

"Don't worry, Ji Jun."

"If Ji Junhe is lost one day, don't be sad and don't worry."

"Just wait for me where I am, I will definitely walk in front of Ji Jun again."

"Seimei..."

Little Lolita's eyes widened slightly, and the ends of her slender eyelashes trembled slightly.The gentle and elegant voice of the Great Onmyoji thousands of years ago seemed to overlap with the gentle voice of the young man in front of him.

"So, the other party must also hope that Zetian-san is now..."

"During the time Ji Jun was waiting for me..."

"...to be happy."

"...You must also be happy."

The author has something to say: It's not that Natsume and Seimei have any relationship, it's just that Seimei said these words to little Lori before, and she remembered.

After finishing this chapter, I found that I miss Seimei so much.
