As we all know, winding zero is a human being

Zero found out that the flames of war that permeated the Matsui House without gunpowder smoke had been upgraded to a new level at some point.

In the past, it was Xiaomei who provoked Higurashi unilaterally and the latter just laughed it off, but now...it has reached a point where he can't understand it.

"Why do you think about dressing up today?" Ling looked at Xiaomei sitting in front of the dressing table in the room, staring in a daze in the mirror, staring at the mirror with her bright golden pupils. Appearance.

He looked at the musical instruments in the corner: "Are you going to learn shamisen with Yeliu Oiran in the building?"

Before Eiji came back, only two little girls, Xiaomei and Higurashi, would learn skills with the then oiran in Matsui House. He didn't pay attention to what was going on with Higurashi, but Xiaomei prepared with great interest every time. Very adequate.

It seemed that she was going to fight for the name of the oiran, and everyone in Matsui House didn't hide their secrets after Zero hinted, but they always looked at the little girl with different eyes.

Mostly envy.

"Yeah." Xiaomei fiddled with the flower hairpin in front of her, and said in a weak tone, "I can't comb Sister Yeliu's hair."

The oiran Yeliu is famous for her dancing posture, and her oiran way always attracts people to stop, and her appearance is also a benchmark for the girls in the building to quietly imitate.

And Yeliu's temperament is as soft as water, and she also takes good care of the young wandering girls, and she is also the one who prefers Xiaomei in the building.

"Are you going to learn to comb Yeliu Oiran's hair?" Ling looked at the comb in her hand, took it over and gestured, "So try it on your own hair first?"

"You will?" Looking up at him standing behind her in the mirror, Xiaomei simply handed over six flower hairpins, "Come for me!"

Hearing the little girl's righteous request, Ling straightened her little head and tossed her hair.

You can be called a craftsman these days if you know a little bit of everything. Xiaomei's long silver hair is smooth and smooth, and she doesn't use any special recipes, but the hair quality is surprisingly good, and she looks good no matter how she tosses it.

After putting the long hair into a bun according to the standard, he picked up a flower hairpin and looked at it: "Hey, where did you get this hairpin? Did the prostitute Taro buy it for you?"

He shook his head disapprovingly: "Just tell me what style you want, and it will be too expensive to buy it outside."

"No." Xiaomei wanted to shake her head but was held down by Zero and couldn't move, so she could only express her doubts with her eyes, "Yes, that guy gave it to you."

"... Sunset?"

Xiaomei muttered and admitted: "Yeah."

Ah well, as expected, he also doesn't understand the friendship and relationship between the little girls.

Listening to Xiaomei's address to Higurashi seemed to be too embarrassing but she was not so hostile anymore. She inserted the last hairpin with a silver bell she gave out into her hair firmly, and the crisp bell sounded. Xiaomei looked at it carefully. After a while, he also admired: "Why are you a man!"

zero:"……?"

Thank you, born a man, he is sorry...?

Xiaomei smiled slyly and innocently: "My brother said that apart from him, no man is a good thing!"

"What about me, what about me?!" Evil pinched the little girl's cheek from the bottom of his heart, Ling easily resisted the little girl who started to fight back after shaking off his hand with his height advantage, and had to carefully protect the other side He managed to fix his hair with great difficulty, "I'm very sad when you say that!"

Having had enough trouble, Xiaomei stopped and thought about it, then raised her head and said slowly, "You're half a good thing!"

Zero Heixian stuffed the shamisen on the side into her hand: "Okay, you're still a pretty little girl if you don't open your mouth."

Can this be discussed in half? !

He can be regarded as giving up on this little girl whose cultural level is still not high.

"Hey! Tell me clearly, what does it mean not to speak!!"

"Xiaomei, are you alright?"

Silent steps appeared outside the door at some point, and Higurashi watched the situation inside the house with a smile, but his gaze was not completely focused on Xiaomei.

Today she is wearing black sleeves, and the hand dyed with red cardamom is also a little struggling to hold the shamisen in her arms. The gorgeous color makes her complexion fairer and weaker.

I don't know how long she stood there watching, the little girl walked to a suitable distance with cat-like steps before stopping, she casually took Xiaomei's hand: "Let's go?"

"Huh? Huh!" Xiaomei came back to her senses, as if she remembered the war-like remarks she made in front of Zero before, she still couldn't move her face to show a happy look, but she still held her hands tightly, "Let's go, let's go."

Without a playmate of the same age, the little girl is still very lonely and easy to attack. He put everything in his eyes and didn't try to pierce her small thoughts. Seeing them walking out without closing the shoji door, he just walked over Want to close the door.

Hearing the chatter between the two little girls echoing in the corridor, he smiled and shook his head.

"Will Sister Yeliu teach us a new song today?"

"Probably."

"Your hands are so cold... It's been so cold recently, you should wear more clothes."

"...no problem."

There was a shower in the afternoon and it didn't stop until the evening. The wet bluestone bricks were stained dark, and the melodious tune played by the shamisen seemed to sink into the rain.

This is a weather that everyone doesn't like very much. The lights are dim and there are not many customers. The prostitute Taro took off his bamboo hat and came back from the outside. Seeing Ling who was closing up his stall and resting in the living room, he asked casually: "Is Xiaomei in the house?" ?”

Zero took his bamboo hat and hung it on the wall, nodding: "It's resting."

There were not many things going on upstairs, and it happened that Eiji also came back with a group of children. Although the door was still open to receive guests, everyone rushed to see the new batch of bald ones.

Ling, who was not interested in watching a few timid little girls, simply looked at the store below.

"You seem to get up very early recently, have you gone outside Yoshihara?" Taro the prostitute asked pretending not to care, but he would inevitably feel subtle vigilance when mentioning Yoshihara.

Born in Yoshiwara and growing up in Yoshiwara, he has never seen the outside world, and after the life around him has gradually improved, the boy always has an indifferent attitude towards the outside world who does not know what the situation will become.

He never thought that one day he would be able to leave Yoshiwara, and he naturally became curious about Zero's whereabouts in the past two days.

"Huh? It's just going out to buy some materials. The shops in Yoshiwara are all old profiteers. If you pick the goods in, the price of everything will double."

The prostitute Taro listened, and he had no doubts about the answer, so he didn't ask further.

Zero didn't tell them that he was looking for a new place to live.

Not choosing a good place is one, and how to change the mentality of the two children is the second.

Obviously Yoshihara's door to the outside world is open to them, but they have no worries behind them, but they never thought of going out from here.

Considering the new kids at Matsui House, it wouldn't be a bad thing to give them a little more exposure on a whim.

As the corner lamps came on, the night became darker and darker. After finishing all the new bald men, Eiji touched his nose and walked down the stairs: "I heard that a man came to the store after I left." Pretty little guy?"

Zero looked up at him: "Why, didn't you see the sunset?"

"Not upstairs." Eiji shook his head and rubbed his sore shoulders, "You should pay more attention these two days, I can see that one or two of the newcomers are not so quiet and may run away. "

"...I see." Listening to his words, Ling just turned a blind eye and didn't take it to heart.

It would be impossible for him to run into that, even if he wouldn't take the initiative to get involved in this matter.

Anyway, they are all people who are about to leave their jobs, so they speak so hard!

Eiji walked towards the hall, but he huffed his nose and turned around, and turned to the question asked at zero hour, which made him startled: "This smell... is Lanzi coming back?"

It took me a long while to remember that Lanzi was the name of that ghost. I don’t know what to say, but I want him to go to the landlord who I don’t know why he was fooled by the water column to check the answer. Then Zero heard Eiji say again: “And It's the smell..."

What does this smell mean... is there another ghost in the building? !

He jumped up in a jiffy, and dragged Eiji around upstairs and downstairs under the puzzled eyes of everyone in the building. He deeply hated that he didn't use his skills in detection, and he could only take such useless methods. Efficient way to explore.

The prostitute Taro and Xiaomei were moved by his movement and opened the door to take a look, but he pushed the two children back into the room without hesitation: "Don't walk around or run around, take care of yourself!" Stay indoors... I will talk about the rest when I come back."

However, even so, no suspicious object was found. Eiji panted and sat on the chair on the second floor, waving his hands repeatedly to indicate that he could not run anymore.

"Who are you looking for... Where are you going?!"

There was a corner of clothes flashing past the downstairs door, the black kimono was dotted with white florals.

I don't know why Higurashi, who was supposed to stay in the house at this time, suddenly walked out of Matsui's house. He quickly chased to the door, but the suspicion that arose made Zero stop again.

No, do you want to be so exciting, just find the status quo of an ordinary ghost and just upgrade him to a level? !

He really wanted to find a reason to turn off the alarm bell that kept ringing, but remembering Higurashi's pair of plum red pupils that looked very much like Oni Wu Tsuji no matter what, Zero didn't know what to do done.

Open, open and see through to see if the other party is the ancestor of the ghost who constantly refreshes his lower limit cognition?

But, if not...

Zero shook his head violently, trying to get rid of the memories he remembered of being with Higurashi in the past two days, but during his hesitation, he watched Higurashi's figure gradually stop at the corner of the street.

She seemed to bump into someone unexpectedly... Ah, not a ghost.

And the light and shadow of the lantern hit the guy walking towards him, making him numb.

Okay, now there is no need to worry about the identity of the little girl Rimu as a fan, and there are more troublesome things in front of her eyes.

And Tong Mo, who was wearing plain clothes and held the pair of golden fans that never left his body, took off his cassock and walked with wind, seemed to say something, and then Ling watched him slowly lift the golden fan——

Picked up Higurashi's chin.

Feeling that he almost stepped into the abyss of crime, Ling tightened the handle of the knife in his hand, and walked out without thinking again.

Later, every time he recalled this past event, he couldn't help beating his chest and stamping his feet.

How could he be so naive.
