go away.

After leaving the store, Blackbird stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Although he was a little happy because he took the initiative to grab the corner of his clothes, Hanyuan Yi was also puzzled when he suddenly let go of his hand.

Hei Niao looked down at the dim sum in his bosom, took out a small box of stuffed dumplings and put it into Xian Yuanyi's hand: "Mr. Xian Yuan, this is for you."

"Eh?" Why did you give him some snacks?This is... the second time I received a gift from him?

Before Xianyuanyi had time to be happy, he heard Xing Ruo Hei Niao say: "This is a thank-you gift for the treat a while ago, please don't bother me these few days."

He hadn't figured out why Blackbird said such words suddenly, when he saw the smiling man in front of him snap his fingers and disappear in front of him.

"..." Now, was he sent away by a box of stuffed dumplings?

Looking down at the dessert in his hand, Xianyuanyi slowly stretched out his palm to cover his face, and smiled softly.

Sure enough, it's interesting no matter how you look at it.

... Blackbird him.

The next day is November 11, Miwa Yiyan's birthday.

Luckily, Hei Niao went out early in the morning, rejected Jinchengzhai's proposal to go with the pedestrians, and went alone to the cemetery where Sanwa Yiyan was sleeping.

It was still dark, and the dark sky made everything seem to be covered with a layer of dust. There were not many pedestrians on the road, which made the black bird walking quietly on the street alone very conspicuous.

It was seven in the morning when we arrived at the entrance of the cemetery, and some shops along the street had already opened their doors, especially the shops that kept Xing Ruojia's cleaning tools.

"Four copies. Give me another bouquet of anemones, two bouquets of daisies, and roses." While waiting, Blackbird took his own utensils. There was a small word "Lucky Ruo" painted on the handle of the bucket. Originally It should be painted with the family crest of Xingruo or Guochang Road, but when the store asked, Kuroto just wrote the surname after thinking for a while.

Only this, only this does not need the protection of others.

After receiving the packaged bouquet, Blackbird thanked the owner and walked into the cemetery.

At this time, the cemetery is empty, Yatogami Kuro should not have arrived yet, and as far as the black bird can see, there are all kinds of trees. Fortunately, Ruo's family's cemetery is in the eastern area. Fortunately, Ruochi carp died unexpectedly In order to facilitate the worship, Xingruo moved all the ashes of his parents over.

Because of Guochang Road Dajue's explanation, the weeds in the cemetery are cleaned regularly, so the black bird just went to the water receiving place to get water, rinsed the tombstone with a bamboo spoon, and then replaced the withered flowers that were enshrined last time. Offer snacks.

Chi carp likes autumn peonies the most, and mother likes roses, because his father passed away too early, and Black Bird didn't know what flowers he liked, so he offered the simplest daisy, and put the incense in the aluminum incense holder in front of the tomb. Bird clasped his hands and closed his eyes.

The sun has risen.

The warm sunlight softly penetrates the pine wood beside the cemetery, leaving mottled light and shadow on the ground, and some of it falls on the tombstone and the black bird standing in front of the tombstone. Light.

Blackbird has very gentle facial features. He and Chili inherited their mother's gentle eyes, but because of his lively personality, many people will forget this, and probably only think that he looks very refreshing when he smiles.

Few people can really see what he's thinking, even Yatogami Kuro doesn't know whether his smile is real or fake.

When he came to the cemetery, what he saw was a black bird standing still. He didn't know what wish he was making. His side face looked too quiet. Yatogami Gorou, who didn't disturb him, just walked quietly to a place not far from him. place, leaning against a cherry blossom tree and waiting for the black bird to finish worshiping.

After opening his eyes again, Blackbird turned around and met Kami Yatogami's sight accurately, as if he knew he was coming, picked up the remaining items with a twisted corner of his eyes: "Let's go."

"Ah, good." Yatogami Kurō nodded, carrying a small bucket, and walked towards the south side with Blackbird.

In fact, fortunately, the cemetery of Ruo's family is not far from the place where Miwa is talking, and it can be reached within a few dozen steps. Back then, Black Bird chose this cemetery as his new family cemetery, and most of the reason was because Sanwa was in this place.

The cemetery is piled with small stones, so there are very few weeds. Black Bird understood that Gou Lang didn't want him to intervene, so he stood aside and watched him squat down and carefully pull out the weeds to clean up the garbage. After washing the tombstone, the two separated. After replacing the flowers, Kuroto bent down and gently placed the wagashi next to the incense holder.

Seeing this scene, Yatogami Kuro lowered his head slightly: "I'm really sorry, I bought such an expensive snack specially for Mr. Yiyan."

"I'm just doing it by hand, don't be naughty, I'm not as careful as you." He patted Gou Lang on the head casually, and the black bird signaled him to hurry up to worship.

Yatogami Kuro stood in front of the tombstone for a long time.

When he raised his head, he said to the black bird: "I just told Master Yiyan that I will swear to carry out his will."

After hearing this, Black Bird didn't know what to think, and suddenly laughed: "You are more serious than me, I told my parents that I will be buried in the family grave sooner or later anyway, so they don't have to wait for me first. "

"..." Yadao Shen didn't know how to complain about this sentence for a moment. No matter how you look at it, fortunately Ruo's parents hope that Black Bird will live as long as possible, or they don't want to see him at all in 70 years, right?

Haha laughed twice, and Blackbird sprinkled some of the remaining water on the bluestone slab, and at this moment, Yatogami Kuro, who remembered what he had heard, suddenly asked, "Ranba...has he found it?"

Blackbird's smile narrowed slightly: "...you know."

In the affirmative sentence, there is no questioning emotion in it, Gou Lang nodded: "I heard it from Mr. Jincheng Zhai."

"That guy is really troublesome. Recently, I was entangled by a guy. It seems that Mr. Pedestrian has revealed something... No, there is probably no one else but him." Somewhat distressed, the black bird slid The obstructive hair on the cheek, "But it doesn't matter if you know, Gou Lang, I still don't want to talk about it at all."

"But……"

"No, it should be said, maybe I won't even want to mention this matter in the future." Although Blackbird still smiled, his tone was a bit tougher, clearly expressing his rejection of this topic, "Although maybe It’s evasive, yes, but I really don’t know who to blame.”

Yatogami Kuron lowered his head, looked at the photo of Miwa Ichikan on the tombstone and said nothing.

Blackbird took a deep breath, and put his arms around his neck: "Oh, why do you say such an annoying thing, today is Miwa-sama's birthday, let's go, let's go to the bar~"

The corner of Yatogami Gorou's mouth twitched: "...I am underage."

"right……"

Yatogami Kuro sighed: "Also, you don't know how to drink."

"It seems to be." Black Bird had an expression of "I just remembered".

Yatogami Kuroh: "And don't you think it's not good to say such things about teaching me badly in front of Ichikan-sama's grave?"

Blackbird didn't take it seriously: "Ah, if this is the case, I'll apologize to Miwa-sama when I go down below."

Yadao Shengou Lang frowned: "...Can you stop saying such strange words!"

After the two left the cemetery, they went to the old house of Miwa Yiyan. The courtyard was well taken care of, and the soil of the flowers seemed to have been renovated recently. Fortunately, Black Bird and Yatogami Kuro chatted about colorless The King of Gold didn't have much information about the King of Gold, so he didn't help Gou Lang.

Blackbird, who never speculated, did not guess the identity of the Colorless King. "Rabbit" went to investigate, but there was no useful information. That person seemed to be transparent.

Gou Lang originally wanted to go to the kitchen after a long absence, but Hei Niao said he would go back sooner, so he left Miwa's house.

Yatogami Gorou sent him away, and returned to the kitchen. There was a small cake in the refrigerator, which was made by himself last night. It had a sweet vanilla flavor and wrote "Happy Birthday, Your Excellency" in chocolate.

Putting it on the table, Gou Lang turned and went back to the kitchen to cook, cooked some of the food that Sanlun Yiyan liked during his lifetime, and added two bowls of rice.

After sitting down, he silently looked at the empty seat in front of him, and took out the tape recorder that he always carried with him.

Press the play button.

……

Before returning to his residence, Blackbird ran to a pastry shop he frequented to buy some light cheesecakes and egg tarts, and walked back slowly.

Because he got up early in the morning, the easily fatigued Black Bird is now in a very sleepy state, half-closed his eyes and yawned. He turned a street corner and was about to get home.

A very familiar guy came out from the gate of the building.

The reason why he looks familiar is because this person has appeared in front of him almost every day recently.

If it's fine to wait outside, it's not that Xianyuanyi hasn't done this kind of thing, but why did he... come out from inside?

20Knight (Knight)

Standing twenty steps away from the building, the black bird with a large piece of puff in its mouth was hesitating whether to pretend not to see Xianyuanyi.

But even if it was too late to think about it, Xianyuanyi, who had obviously seen the black bird, froze for a moment, and after getting rid of the surprise at the moment he saw him, he immediately turned towards the black bird with the happy expression that had been hanging on his face recently. The bird ran over: "My dear ~ black bird, are you back?"

"...Cough! Cough cough!" Hei Bird stuck a mouthful of puffs in his throat when he heard this address.

When did he become his dear again?

Seeing Blackbird coughing with a flushed face, Xianyuan stretched out his hand to pat him on the back, occasionally deliberately slowing down.
