Alice was carried away with her mouth covered.

In order to prevent her from boasting to Munakata Reiji that "super invincible and very handsome", Zhou Fangzun pressed her on his shoulders with such strength that Alice's face was squeezed into a ball.

Fortunately, she was quite fleshy, and she didn't mind being covered tightly by her father.

The only thing that made Alice a little embarrassed was that she took Uncle Lisi's red envelope, but didn't even say goodbye to anyone else.

——You won’t be treated as an impolite child, right?

Alice cared a little bit about her own style, but after thinking about it, she quickly let go of this little bit of caring.

Because she thinks Uncle Li Si looks very reasonable.

Surely he could forgive himself for not being able to say goodbye to him.

But having said that, Zun doesn't seem to like Uncle Lisi and his subordinates very much.

But why does he seem to be familiar with Fushimi again?

Shouldn't all the hateful words be hated?

If Fushimi is an exception, does it mean that Fushimi is in fact!Very likable? !

It turns out that everyone likes Fushimi, the kind of person who keeps tsk-tsk-tsk-tut-face every day? !

Feeling as if he had discovered some objective laws of the world, the primary school student lay on his father's shoulder, wondering and uncertain.

She didn't fall back asleep on the way back.

When passing through the shopping street, Alice greeted the owners of Yabaiya and the deli shop—Kusanagi would occasionally take her out to buy vegetables on weekends. The little guy is cute and has a sweet mouth. like her.Sometimes two extra tomatoes or a piece of sausage are stuffed into the bag.

After passing the fish shop, Alice still clamored to go to the field.

She is not familiar with the owner of this shop at all.

But after she said hello to the boss, she squatted straight in front of the foam box placed at the door. The fluffy clothes she was wearing today looked like a small dandelion growing out of the foam box.

Alice obediently put her hands on her knees, looked up at the owner of the fish shop with her head up.

Ah, who in the world could resist being looked at imploringly by such watery eyes?

——Anyway, the owner of the fish shop who is already a grandmother is obviously not good.

Zhou Fangzun saw her family portrait hanging on the wall of the store, there are six people in total including children, grandchildren and wives.

Then the owner of the fish shop waved his hand, showed the momentum of the emperor amnesty, and granted Alice's request to play with fish.

Alice, who got permission, was overjoyed and swayed.Happy as if ushered in the breeze and warm spring.

She stretched out a finger, put it into the water and poked the moon shell that had opened its shell.

The water is very cold in winter.

As soon as Alice reached in, she immediately took it out.

"Grandma, doesn't Shell feel cold?" she asked.

"Well, Grandma doesn't know about it either." The owner of the fish shop smiled at her, "But since it's still alive, it means it's not too cold to be unbearable."

After hearing this, Alice stared at Moon Bay thoughtfully.

Zhou Fangzun stood behind her, looked down at Alice who was playing with the moon shell, and then looked up at the fish shop owner who was looking at Alice with a wide smile.

Missing the best time to say hello to the other party, the Scarlet King felt a little embarrassed.

And this embarrassment is not without reason.

In all fairness, Zhou Fangzun rarely feels this kind of "sorry", "guilt" and "sorry" towards anyone.

Not to mention that he never blamed himself for the trouble caused to outsiders by a little guy who was independent of him.

He looked around.

The business of the fish shop is very good. In addition to looking at the fish steaks, fish bones and fish heads neatly placed on the counter after being dissected by the boss, the customers who come and go will also bend down to check the fish that are packed in the bubbles constantly bubbling. Live fish, shrimp, crabs in the foam tank, and of course, live shells.

Alice was pushed away by the guests who came to pick the shells.

But more precisely, she got in the way.

The guest didn't think she was in the way, and the boss didn't think she was troublesome, but on the contrary, it was the other party's friendly attitude that made the Scarlet King feel some kind of pressure from being a father—or in other words, felt that he owed him a favor?

His feelings for Zhenme Town cannot be said to be very deep.

The reason why I chose to stay here back then was also because Barbara was here.

He is indeed king.

But only the king of Barbara.

His territory is small.

After all, he is not a saint who can help the world.

Except that he had to clean up those clowns who came here to make troubles, Zhou Fangzun never thought that he had any extra responsibilities to the residents here.

Also, ordinary people should not get close to a king who may explode at any time.

And because ordinary people don't know and have no way of knowing that there is another group of special people in the world, so the pressure of "avoiding harm to others" comes to the people who are kings.

Taking the initiative to stay away from these fragile ordinary people and consciously staying in the cage he should be in is the biggest concession Zhou Fangzun can make.

In addition, he is not a person who is good at communication...

"...to trouble you..."

To be able to say such words to the owner of the fish shop is quite a new experience for Zhou Fangzun.

A little more care, a little more companionship.

Seeing her daughter playing with fish and shells as if she had never seen the world, after thinking about it, they found that they really didn't take Alice outside to play much...

If you are interested in fish...

I'll take her to the aquarium sometime later...

The most urgent task right now is to bring Alice back to Barbara safely.

The Red King bent down to pick up his daughter.

"fish……"

Alice's wet fingers lightly grabbed the edge of the water tank, and quickly let go after realizing that it was so fragile that even she could crush it.

In the end, of course, it couldn't bear the sight of his daughter staring at the fish pitifully, so Zhou Fangzun bought her a moon shellfish and a crucian carp the size of an adult's palm.

The envelope that Reisi Munakata gave was bulging.

But until she returned to Barbara, Alice didn't open it to see how much money was inside.

It's not that Alice doesn't like small money, but that she has more important things to do.

And the Scarlet King, who finally didn't lose his daughter when he went out this time, immediately lay down on the sofa.

He's a little sleepy.

He didn't go to bed until after three o'clock today, and was woken up by Alice at ten o'clock.

Seven hours of sleep was not enough for the Red King.

He badly needs to catch up on sleep.

And it just so happened that he felt that he should be able to sleep without a headache now.

But raising children has never been so easy.

Not lying down for a while, Alice, who was bouncing in the distance for some reason, began to push the stool.

The legs of the stool rubbed against the ground, making an unusually piercing sound. Zhou Fangzun had to open his eyes and look at her: "What are you doing?"

"Turn on the air conditioner." Alice pointed to the control panel on top of her head.

Zhou Fangzun frowned and looked, and found that the position where the control panel was located was really beyond Alice's reach.

But it's not okay to let her move the stool like this.

Rather than enduring the terrifying brain piercing sound, Zhou Fangzun took a deep breath, stood up, and walked over to help the little bear who was afraid of the cold turn on the warm air of the air conditioner.

He went back to the sofa, this time instead of lying down, he just sat there.

Alice still didn't stop.

She walked to the kitchen with moon shellfish and flower crucian carp packed in plastic bags.

Soon Zhou Fangzun heard the sound of water for a short time, and then the sound of the faucet being turned on.

Probably put the moon shellfish and flower crucian carp into the pot to raise it...

Zhou Fangzun stared at the old-fashioned electric lamp hanging from the dark wooden ceiling of the Barbara, with a beautiful glass lampshade with golden strokes.

However, after a while, Alice ran out again.

"Zun... Zun...!" She took Zhou Fangzun's hand and anxiously wanted to take him into the kitchen.

"...What's the matter?" he asked.

"Fish, fish turned their belly...!" The little girl looked at her father with tears in her eyes.She had learned in her textbooks that turning a fish's belly is a sign of death.

Zhou Fangzun: "?"

Wasn't he still alive just now?

He followed Alice into the kitchen, and saw a steaming basin.

……steam?

Zhou Fangzun approached the water basin, stretched his hand in, and then fell into a long silence.

This is hot water...

He asked why this little guy had thought about it for so long after the owner of the fish shop said he didn't know if the fish and shells would be cold...

"Master, my fish..." Alice swallowed her tears as she stared at the crucian carp that had turned up its belly.

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

How should he tell this little fool that hot water cannot be used to raise fish?

Tell her that her kindness was not only superfluous, but also killed her fish... Would you be sad for a long time?

So Zhou Fangzun decided to hide it.

He touched his daughter's head and said that the fish might be asleep.

Some fish also turn their bellies when they sleep.

"really?"

"……Um."

Zhou Fangzun carried her to the sofa, thinking to send a message to Kusanagi later, asking him to buy another crucian carp, and then find a chance to distract Alice and replace her fish.

Anyway, the fish look much the same.

Sitting back on the sofa again, Zhou Fangzun turned on the TV and tuned to Alice's favorite cartoon channel.

"Pretty Cure" is currently playing.

Zhou Fangzun was not interested in this kind of cartoons that little girls like, he fell sleepy after watching, and finally couldn't help closing his eyes.

Occasionally, Zhou Fangzun would have a decent sleep.

Not tormented by headaches, nor haunted by nightmares of scorched earth and crimson flames.

He slept deeply, and his brows would relax accordingly.

And when Zhou Fangzun woke up again, the light coming in from the window had become somewhat dim.

The hour hand is pointing to 3 and the minute hand is between 6 and 7.

The TV was turned off, and Alice, who rolled up all the blankets, slept soundly curled up beside him.

This little thing is a good hand at grabbing quilts, thanks to the heating in the bark dance, Zhou Fangzun is not afraid of the cold, otherwise, if an ordinary person is here, he will probably have a headache in a short time.

He sat up slowly, bypassing Alice who was sleeping beside him, and pushed her into the sofa.

Then he saw the watercolor pens and rhinestone stickers that he had just bought for Alice on the coffee table next to the sofa.

Zhou Fangzun snorted, so he wouldn't help her clean up.

He turned around and poured himself a glass of water with ice, then sat in front of the bar, put his arms on the edge of the bar, stared at the gap between the wooden floors, and continued to wander.

Just at this moment, Kusanagi came back.

It wasn't just Kusanagi who came.

There are two people behind him.

To be more precise, young people.

The first two, Zhou Fangzun remembered one of them.The red-haired one seems to be called Akashi.

As for the one with purple-gray hair who kept lighting the mole under his eyes.

Zhou Fangzun had no impression.

He raised his hand to his forehead and took a deep breath.

Izumo Kusanagi, who led the two teenagers in, saw something, and from the moment he raised his hand, his expression became distorted and weird.

As for the group of teenagers who became quiet, Zhou Fangzun thought they had noticed a child sleeping, but unexpectedly, they all looked away and tensed their faces.

Zhou Fangzun: "?"

doing what?

The Red King asked with his eyes.

"Respect..." Kusanagi waved his hand at him, "Your hand..."

What happened to his hand?

Zhou Fangzun put down his hand that was supporting his forehead.

Then, the whole world fell silent.

Zhou Fangzun's hands—or in other words, the top of his fingernails—were painted in ten colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, and brown, by someone (it was definitely Alice) with something (it was definitely a watercolor pen).

And, affixed with, rather, dazzling, rhinestones.

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

Kusanagi Izumo: "Cough..."

Wuwuluo's second-in-command held back his laughter, turned around and explained to the teenagers behind him: "I'm sorry, the children at home are too naughty, you two... um...

"Please don't take offense."

Zhou Fangzun: "..."
