Echizen Ryoma stood in front of the window of the room, looking at the snow-covered scenery outside.

He still feels dazed until now, as if he was still in the United States yesterday.

However, in fact, he has been in Japan for almost half a month.

It seems that he hasn't had a dream like that for a long time, or...he hasn't had a dream for a long time.

Ever since Christmas, he met the little girl who kept appearing in his dreams in the coffee shop, and the one with her seemed to be a member of the same organization called "Baowuluo", or After the family, I never dreamed about it again.

Or to be more precise, since returning to Japan, he has not dreamed of his 17-year-old self.

...Maybe it should be Echizen Ryoma?

"Meow~"

After waking up, Karubin swept his face with his tail, licked his little paw, and then jumped to Echizen Ryoma's feet, rubbing his legs.

Such a move brought the boy back to his senses, bent down, and hugged it with both hands: "Good morning, Karubin."

"Meow!"

Echizen Ryoma went downstairs with Carubin in his arms. At this time, Echizen Rinko and Ryuzaki Nanako were preparing breakfast in the kitchen, while Echizen Minamijiro was sitting at the dining table with a newspaper in his hand.

but……

Echizen Ryoma silently tossed Karubin towards Echizen Nanjiro, and then witnessed the newspaper being torn under Karubin's claws, and under the newspaper, being held by his father One of the hands may be a swimsuit photo of a Japanese girl idol.

"..."

The boy was silent for a few seconds: "Dad, why are you looking at these things again so early in the morning?"

"Ryoma, how could you do this!" Echizen Nanjiro's tone didn't seem to be angry, but rather as if he was acting like a spoiled child with his lovely son.

Echizen Ryoma shook his body because of the other party's tone, and squinted at the kitchen: "Mom, Dad, he's looking at those things again..."

"Hello!"

Echizen Minamijiro suddenly became flustered, and started to pack up his sketchbook in a hurry, but before he could put the notebook away, he was caught by Echizen Rinko who came out of the kitchen: " Nanjiro!"

"... Lun, Lunzi!!"

Echizen Ryoma looked at the scene where his father was being taught by his mother, yawned lazily, walked to the sliding door, and opened the door, revealing the scenery in the yard outside, and also let the sunshine no longer Reserve spilled into the dining room.

"Meow~"

Echizen Ryoma lowered his head, looked at Karubin who had reached his feet, and then raised his head to look at the blue sky outside.

"It's a fine day today, Karubin."

"Meow!"

Today Echizen Ryoma did not choose to stay at home, nor did he choose to go to the temple with Echizen Nanjiro.

Before Echizen Nanjiro asked Echizen Ryoma and himself to go to the temple to do sundries, he changed into his sports clothes, put on his tennis bag, and went out ignoring his father calling him behind.

He was actually wandering around aimlessly this time, but it was actually better than staying at home as a salted fish, or being caught by Echizen Nanjiro to clean the temple.

"what……"

The sound of hitting tennis balls made Echizen Ryoma stop. He raised his head to look in the direction of the sound of hitting the ball, and found that it was on the top of a staircase. He couldn't help but lift up his footsteps and walked up the stairs.

When his line of sight gradually became parallel to the ground, the expression on Echizen Ryoma's face also relaxed: "It's a street tennis court."

"Hello! Newcomer over there!"

The boy who had just finished the game was wiping his sweat, and when he looked up, he saw Echizen Ryoma wearing a tennis cap and carrying a tennis bag. He also showed a smile and pointed the tennis racket in his hand: "Would you like to come?" One game!"

"You're still a long way off."

At the end of the game, Echizen Ryoma raised his hand, put the racket on his shoulder and tapped it lightly, and the boy who was provoking him just now was squatting on the other side of the field panting, looking like he was sweating profusely. It seems very tired.

After a while, he stood up with one hand on the ground, raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his face with the back of his hand, and smiled with white teeth: "Hahaha, you are really strong!"

"It seems that you should be a junior high school student, right?" The boy carefully looked at the seemingly relaxed Echizen Ryoma opposite him, and suddenly paused: "No, it should be smaller?"

"Country One? Primary Six?"

"..." Seeing the young man who began to guess on his own, Echizen Ryoma silently pulled the brim of his hat, turned around, walked to the sidelines, and put the tennis racket in his bag.

The young man who seemed to be very tired suddenly became energetic, accelerated his speed, and rushed to his side before he left: "Hey, tell me!"

"How much are you, boy?"

"...you are very noisy."

The boy blinked, and his cat-like mouth moved: "By the way, my name is Koganei Shinji, and I will be entering high school soon, please give me your advice!"

Echizen Ryoma looked down at the hand extended to him by the other side, paused, and reached out to hold his hand, but quickly let go: "Echizen Ryoma."

"So, how old is it?"

So, it doesn't look like the powerless look just now.Echizen Ryoma looked at the boy who looked like a big cat in front of him, and finally sighed: "12 years old."

"So you're still a primary school student?"

"..."

Echizen Ryoma suddenly didn't want to talk to the person in front of him.

"Anyway, you're really good!" Koganei Shinji commented like this, not at all feeling disappointed when he was defeated by a boy who was several years younger than him.

Listening to his rambling, Echizen Ryoma also became helpless.He looked at the clock standing on one side, because it was almost lunch time because he had been wandering around for a long time before: "I said, aren't you hungry?"

"Eh?"

Sitting in the McDonald's shop, Echizen Ryoma was gnawing on a hamburger, occasionally responding to Shinji Koganei's words, but the other party didn't seem to feel disappointed, and finally left his contact information , I will not give up until I get the communication number of Echizen Ryoma.

Finally sent away a troublesome guy, but Echizen Ryoma seems to be in a good mood now.Recalling the basketball that the other party said, he looked down at his hands, and then moved his gaze to the tennis bag leaning on the side.

"However, I still like tennis..."

After leaving McDonald's, Echizen Ryoma thought about it, and finally chose to take the bus bound for Zhenmecho at a nearby station.

If he remembered correctly, the Barbara's stronghold should be in that place.

Looking at the scenery moving backwards outside the window, Echizen Ryoma slowly retracted his gaze, took out his terminal from his pocket, clicked on the screen, and called up the map navigation.

The target point on the navigation is constantly approaching the direction of Zhenme Town. Seeing this, he also called up a new search interface.

The word barbara is displayed in the search bar above.

There are so many search results for the keyword Barbara, so many that Echizen Ryoma, who made up his mind to search for the first time, felt dazzled, but he quickly found what he wanted to find.

In Echizen Ryoma's dream, Barbara was a bar, and it was also the base of an organization called "Red Clan", but he was not very clear about the specific situation.

According to the information in the dream, he once searched for things such as the king, the red king, and the colorless king, but he got very little information.

He managed to find a webpage that seemed to have relevant information, but the moment he clicked on it, before he could even read the first line of words, the entire website crashed.

When he tried to open it again, he found that the web page no longer existed.

Regarding this, Echizen Ryoma became more and more curious, and because at Christmas, he saw the relationship between those people who should have only existed in dreams, so he wanted to know more and more what happened. thing.

"...The town is here."

The wandering Echizen Ryoma was finally pulled back by the bus stop announcement, but because he was in a trance before, he also heard the word Zhenmecho.

However, this is enough...

Zhenmecho looks no different from Tokyo, but standing on this piece of land that he arrived for the first time, Echizen Ryoma has a feeling that is even more familiar than Tokyo, where he has lived for a short time.

He looked at the road in front of him, and without even thinking about it, he raised his foot and walked in one direction. After walking a certain distance, Echizen Ryoma realized that this was the road he had dreamed of in his dreams. On the way to Barbara's bar.

"...No Blood! No Bone! No Ash!"

Echizen Ryoma read the words on the side of the signboard, and at the same time translated it into Japanese in his heart, and his eyes softened unconsciously: "It's the same as in the dream."

"welcome……"

Kusanagi Izumo heard the sound of the wind chimes, raised his eyes and looked over, then lowered his head and continued to do his own business in the next second: "We don't welcome minors here, let alone elementary school students."

"...I am not an elementary school student." In the United States, Echizen Ryoma has already graduated from elementary school, but the semester is different from that in Japan, so he has not entered junior high school for a long time.

He walked to the bar counter of the bar and sat down, leaning his tennis bag against the side: "I want a bottle of grape soda."

"This is a bar." Kusanagi Izumo put the goblet on the table, then clenched his right hand, pointed to the cabinet behind him with his thumb, and emphasized the pronunciation: "Bar."

"Not a coffee shop."

"Grape soda."

"..." Izumo Kusanagi had the urge to throw the guest out for the first time.

The small leather shoes made a "dongdong" sound in contact with the wooden floor, which can be said to be very eye-catching in the quiet bar now.

Rubbing her eyes, the little girl walked downstairs and yawned. Her long white hair looked a little messy, and she probably just woke up: "Izumo, I'm hungry..."

She finally opened her eyes to meet a pair of amber cat eyes, and at the same time she became slightly more conscious.

"It's you."
