The door is locked.

Seeing that the children were a little disappointed, Dazai bent slightly and looked at Natsume with a smile: "Kishi-kun, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"But the door..."

"So, do you want to go in?" Dazai's smile deepened a little, and he asked softly, as if tempting.

"...Yes." Natsume answered honestly.

"Understand~"

Dazai walked to the sliding door, bowed gracefully like an actor standing in the center of the stage, and said with a smile: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to perform a slightly clumsy magic trick for you here. .”

"Now, please close your eyes slowly."

Although they didn't know what to do, the children obediently closed their eyes.

"3, 2, 1"

With a snap of fingers, everyone opened their eyes, and found that the originally locked door was slowly opened!

"It's amazing! How did you do it?" Allen opened his eyes wide and looked around the door frame curiously.

Dazai blinked his eyes, and said meaningfully: "Because it's magic, so it must be kept secret~"

"All right……"

Patting the other party's shrugging head, Dazai made a "please" gesture to Natsume.

Under his encouraging gaze, Natsume walked slowly to the door and gently opened it.

"……I am back."

The boy said to the door cautiously.

Of course, there was no response.

"Excuse me, can we come in?" Dazai tilted his head slightly, asking the somewhat absent-minded child in front of him sincerely.

"Well, yes." Natsume responded quickly, and let the entrance out.

"Excuse me!" said the children, and walked in one by one.

There was nothing in the house.It must have been put away by other relatives, and the whole house seemed empty, which made people feel a little lonely.

As if wanting to enliven the atmosphere, Allen kept looking around in the room, and then pointed to a certain place in surprise: "Ah, there are paintings here! There are flowers, houses, and a cute little one." Cat! You must have drawn it, Kishi?"

I saw a large area painted with colored pens on the kitchen cabinets and the ground.The crooked brushstrokes were obviously made by the children of this family.

"...Well, yes. Because my father has to go to work, he is afraid that I will be bored at home alone, so he bought me a paintbrush." ​​Perhaps because of embarrassment, the boy's cheeks were slightly flushed, "I didn't expect the painting to be so obvious The place……"

"There are also here."

Ai En smiled and pointed to the closet internal test: "The painting should be Gui Zhijun and his parents. Everyone is smiling, and they look really happy."

Just when everyone went to see the painting, Allen made a new discovery.

"Hey, Kishi, is that a bell? It sounds so nice!" Allen asked while pulling the corner of Natsume's clothes, pointing to something hanging under the eaves.

"Ah, that's the wind chime."

"Wind chimes?"

"Well. Every summer when the weather is very hot, Dad will hang up the wind chime. As long as there is a little wind, it will make a very crisp sound. Listening to this sound will not make you feel hot."

"I like to lie in the corridor and listen to this sound, and I always fall asleep in a daze after listening to it. Every time I wake up, I find that I have returned to the room at some time. Ask Dad, but Dad He replied that I went back by myself. But I know that it must be my father who carried me back." When she said this, a shallow but extremely warm smile appeared on Natsume's face.

"Sometimes Dad will bring back watermelon. Soak the watermelon for a while, cut into small pieces and put them on a plate. Then we sit under the eaves and listen to the wind chimes while eating the cool and sweet watermelon. .Because I eat faster, I end up eating more every time. But I understand now that Dad is deliberately eating slowly so that I can eat more."

"At the end of summer, when the weather is not so hot, my father will sit here with me in his arms and look at the scenery in the courtyard, he will gently tell me about my mother, occasionally laugh and play with me, and he will gently stroking my head..."

"My father said that my mother planted some flowers in the garden, and they will bloom every year, just like accompanying us instead of my mother."

"Mom and Dad...they really love me very much, right?"

"Dad...Dad..."

Seeing the big and big teardrops gushing out of Natsume's eyes, Allen suddenly panicked.

He was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort him, when he saw his brother Scorpion, who had never been very close, walked over silently, hugged him into his arms, and patted Natsume's thin body gently back.

Unexpectedly, Natsume cried even louder.

Allen was anxious to go forward, but was stopped.

"Let him cry well." Levi said softly, looking over there.

Dazai put his hands on Aren's shoulders, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Kishi-kun has always been alone, and he must have endured for a long, long time. So, let him vent well."

As if wanting to pour out all the thoughts and grievances in his heart, Natsume cried for a long, long time, even his voice became hoarse.In the end, perhaps tired from crying, he fell into a deep sleep.

Although he knew that Scorpio could still hold on, after all the child was quite thin, Dazai still walked over and carried Natsume on his back.

After all, it was getting late, and since there was no means of transportation between the two towns, they needed to hurry back as soon as possible.

Taking another look at the empty house, Dazai locked the door and led the children along the Shirokawa towards Sagara Village.

Perhaps because they were thinking about their own affairs, everyone was a little silent along the way.

"I always feel that Mr. Guizhi is very pitiful, after all, he was once so happy." After walking for a long time, Ai En couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"That's right, if I've never met my parents like me, I wouldn't be so sad. It's a terrible feeling to get it and then lose it." Allen agreed, and then looked at Dazai , "Mr. Dazai, when do you plan to take Takashi to live with us? He is obviously very unhappy there, isn't he, otherwise he wouldn't cry so much, and I feel so sad that I want to cry gone."

"Well... It seems that you all like Guizhi Jun. But, I don't know if he would like to be with us. After all, Alian has asked him a long time ago, but the other party has not given an answer, and I don't know. How to force the other party to follow us." Dazai said in a slightly distressed tone.

"Then you can ask him again! Guizhi is so shy and considerate of others, he definitely wouldn't ask us to take care of him."

"Did you hear that, Kishi-kun?" Dazai smiled and asked the child who had already woken up on his back, "Everyone likes you very much. So, are you willing to live with us? Although it may be a little hard work, After all, as a bad adult, I don't have much money."
