I paid too much for Feiwuluo

Taking the notification letter signed by Kusanagi back to school and handing it to the teacher, Alice counted the days of the visit day by day with her fingers.

During the period, she took two quizzes in arithmetic class, and her scores were a bit horrible.

Alice took the report card back to Barbara with extreme nervousness and guilt.

Although she is only in the second grade of elementary school, this does not prevent her from really hating arithmetic.Even in Alice's mind, English has become cute compared to arithmetic - she recently found that her stumbling kindergarten-level English can also talk to Izumo and Eric, and her enthusiasm for learning in this area is much higher .

But what ebbs and flows is her arithmetic performance.

Alice has now learned multiplication and division, and every day when she comes home from school, she will be tormented by various arithmetic operations so that she lies on the bar counter with tears in her eyes.

If Kusanagi was not there, she would secretly take homework to Chitose and the others to help her with her homework—only she would avoid Hatta—the reason why she didn’t look for Hatta was that the leader of the special attack team of the Red Clan made a mistake once The sequence of addition and multiplication operations makes the final answer very different from what Alice calculated by herself.

After they found out the reason, Alice said in surprise that even she would not make such a low-level mistake.

——Misaki, you're an idiot...!

At that time, Alice revealed her unexpected discovery in surprise, and the innocent child's words made the boy shed tears of remorse for not working hard when he was young.

Since then, Misaki Hatta has lost her prestige as an elder who has studied for many years longer than Alice, and because of his clear understanding of his mathematics level, he has not even taken the initiative to ask for a chance to save his face.

After reading Alice's report card, Kusanagi had to start thinking about whether she should find a cram school for her.He's not the kind of parent who only cares about grades, but at least he has to lay a good foundation, otherwise he will have a hundred times more headaches when he enters the senior grades than he is now.

But Alice's language talent seems to be pretty good... I should praise her more in this respect.

Children who are always criticized will really have psychological problems.

And who would want to make her sad.

Alice's leg pain has improved a lot recently, but occasionally she still wakes up with muscle throbbing when she sleeps at night.

"Liz," the routine good night kiss before going to bed, Kusanagi hugged her neck and kissed her cheek by the soft sticky treasure, and pulled her back just as she was about to turn around and run upstairs, "Have you taken the calcium tablets? "

"I just ate." Alice was surrounded, and she circled around Kusanagi's arms like a puppy, and after looking at him for two seconds, she sat down on Kusanagi's strong body. on the arm.Her sense of balance has never been very good, and her movements were so fast that she fell backwards without being able to sit still. Fortunately, Kusanagi quickly supported her back, which didn't make Ben not very smart. Unfortunately, his little brain suffered a serious injury.

"Li———" Kusanagi lowered his voice, with a smile on his face, but his tone sounded quite dangerous.

Sensing that her father's hand behind her was in danger of slapping her ass, Alice threw herself winkingly and hugged his neck, then rubbed her cheek against his.

The smell of sweet and greasy strawberry baby cream hits the nostrils.

Kusanagi sighed, stood up and rubbed Alice's head, because she was a little angry, so she didn't save face for her, and messed up Alice's hair that had been blown and combed just now.Anyway, she's going to sleep soon, no matter it's clean or rough, if it gets into the quilt and turns over and over again, it will turn into a messy puppy overnight, so it doesn't matter if you try harder.

Alice's head was quickly shuffled under Papa's ruthless hands.

But the feeling of being rubbed on the head is very comfortable, and it's not a big deal if the hair becomes messy. Anyway, when she wakes up the next morning, someone will always gently and patiently comb her soft and curly hair.

Alice yawned slightly, her mouth also smelled of strawberry toothpaste after brushing her teeth.

She raised her head and looked at her tall father, but she didn't feel that she was growing taller like Duo Liang and the others lamented every day.

"Izumo." She stretched out her hand and lifted it up.

"Excuse me, what are your orders?" Izumo still helped her with a haircut, "It's time for this young lady to go to bed."

"I want to be hugged by Izumo." Alice hugged his leg, rubbing her wet and warm nose against the cheek of her favorite person like a puppy. The difference is that she is rubbing against her father's slacks now, but It seems that it is not bad.

"Alice doesn't want to walk anymore..." Alice said as she fell limply as if someone had taken out her bones.

Kusanagi pushed his knee, and Alice put her chin there, followed his movements and made a "click click" sound of teeth colliding, which made him laugh so stupidly.

Zhou Fangzun propped his chin, his half-closed golden eyes looked at Alice who was spinning around Kusanagi's feet.

"Who is used to the habit of a stinky child acting like a baby before going to bed? It's really outrageous. I still have to hug her after just two steps. Next time I have to talk to Hatta and the others so that I don't hug her in the future. And only go to Kusanagi. Acting like a baby really makes Zhou Fang’s father feel sad and hates being lonely like snow—it hurts, hurts, hurts!!!”

Zhou Fangzun clamped his head with his five fingers for the ten bunches of Tatara who presumptuously dubbed the king's heartfelt voice, and the more he said, the more outrageous he was, screaming miserably but not forgetting to lower the volume.If the sound is too loud, you will be complained about disturbing the people.

Alice was hugged as she wished.

After taking a bath, Anna didn't wait for Alice to come back to sleep for a long time. She ran out of the room and squatted down on the stairs, grasping the two adjacent railings, and looked downstairs from the gap between them.

Shi Beam escaped from Zhou Fangzun's claws through all kinds of hardships and dangers, and picked up the camera next to him to take a picture of this moment.

"Crack".

A flash that you forgot to turn off lit up the entire bar.

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

Kusanagi Izumo: "..."

Anna squatting on the stairs: "..."

And Alice who was starting to be a little confused: "..."

She had already lay down on Kusanagi's shoulders and closed her eyes, but she was awakened by the sudden light that could pierce her eyelids, and she climbed up while supporting Kusanagi's shoulders in a rather sloppy movement.

"Sleep with you." Kusanagi immediately pushed her back, turned to look at Tokuta Tara, who silently mouthed "I'm sorry".

After leading the two little ones back to the room to sleep, and saying good night to Anna who was still awake, Kusanagi went downstairs.

Zhou Fangzun changed his posture, leaning his back against the bar, with his outstretched arms resting on the side of the table, and sat there motionless.

Ten Beams was facing the light, examining the film that had just been drawn from the camera.

"What did you capture? Great photographer." The military division behind the bar passed by Shi Shu, raised his hand and punched him on the back.

"Because it feels like Anna is too much like a kitten locked in a cage waiting for a puppy to come back." Shi Shuu pushed the film in his hand and pointed to one of them: "So I took it."

Hearing this, Kusanagi looked down, and the film could only show different shades of brown under the light, but the back of him holding Alice, Anna squatting in the distance, and even Zun who was stretched out of shape at the edge of the lens are still recognizable.

"Tomorrow morning I have something to do, so I may be late, can I trouble you to wake Liz up at eight o'clock?" Kusanagi rewound the film and returned ten rolls.

At the end of the year again, no matter whether it is successful or not, all kinds of big and small things will come to an end.

"Eight o'clock?" Shi Shu raised his head, "Isn't it usually seven o'clock?"

"...off-campus activities." Zhou Fangzun, who seemed to be wandering, reminded concisely.

"Oh! That art exhibition." Shi Shu patted his head, "It's just calling Liz to wake up, just leave it to me!"

He vowed to answer.

It's not difficult at all, just set two more alarm clocks.

You must know that things like beds are the natural enemy of human progress.

It firmly traps people's bodies, allowing them to fall into a warm and sweet sleep, and this powerful and irresistible force will become especially obvious in winter.

Seven fifty the next morning.

Ten bundles of Tatara, who had been developing photos in the darkroom all night, were woken up by their alarm clock on time.

A young man with soft blond hair who was slept like a sheep who only rolled freely on the grassland several times, got up from the bed with a jerk.

He first came back to his senses in less than ten seconds on his bed. The reason why it took such a short time was because yesterday's weather forecast had predicted that the temperature would drop again today.

The world outside the bed was so cold that people were trembling.

Shi Shu opened the curtains and looked at the weather outside, it was gloomy and gray.

It would be great if the weather is fine. If the weather is fine, the photos taken by the teacher for the children will be even better.

But Tokyo seems to have been in this depressing situation recently.

Ten beams sniffed, he wrapped the quilt tightly around his body, pulled his slippers and moved to the door of Anna and Alice's room.

"Liz?" Knocked on the door, but no one answered as expected.

"Excuse me--" He pushed open the door, because of the presence of the night light, the room was not too dark.

Only in winter, Alice, who is well-behaved without the quilt, and Anna, who sleeps well, breathed steadily and long.

Still a little confused, Shi Shu walked to the bedside and stood there for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that his face was about to freeze from laughing.

"Liz, Liz." Across the quilt, he put his hand on Alice's stomach and shook it. The dangling feeling made him feel like he was rubbing a round water balloon.

"Hmm..." Alice mumbled.

"It's time to get up. Aren't you going to participate in extracurricular activities today?" Shi Shu shook her again, and yawned herself.

"Well..." After Shi Shu said this, it took another two seconds for Alice to start wriggling in the bed.

Then the little sheep, which had been rolling freely on the grassland for half a year, grabbed its quilt and slowly got up.

"Tatara..." she called softly.

"Wake up, Liz." Shi Shu sat down on the edge of the bed, touched her smooth and beautiful forehead - all the bangs of this little guy flew up when he woke up.

"what time is it?"

"Let me see..." Shi Shu pressed the phone in his hand, "It's already 55:[-]."

"Then..." Alice wrapped herself up a little more tightly, "Can I just sleep for another 5 minutes?"

"Hmm..." Shishu thought for a while.

"Just 5 minutes, sleep until eight o'clock." Alice begged with her mouth pursed.

"Okay... then sleep for another 5 minutes." Anyway, Brother Kusanagi said to wake up Liz at [-] o'clock.

The troubled young man rubbed his heavy eyelids.

And Alice, who was allowed, quickly lay down and rolled herself into the quilt again.

Originally, Tokuta Tara's plan was to watch over her by the bed, wait another 5 minutes, and wake up Alice at eight o'clock, wash her hair, have breakfast, and then go out.

But after falling asleep for less than a minute, Alice poked her head out of the quilt again in a daze, and asked him in a low voice, "Tatara, aren't you sleepy?"

tired.

Of course he was sleepy.

The huge yawn that could see the small tongue deep in the throat answered the question for Shizuka.

Then Alice moved to the middle.

Both she and Anna were so small that they didn't take up much space at all, and easily vacated a large area next to the bed.

——The puppy gave up her warm and soft puppy nest.

- The puppy is inviting you to sleep with her.

Ten bundles of Tatara struggled for two seconds, then happily wrapped himself in his quilt and lay down.

To be on the safe side, he set another alarm clock for Alice to ring at eight o'clock in three minutes before going to bed.

Afterwards Tokuta Tara closed his eyes.

And when he woke up again, he found that there was someone beside the bed.

——…King?

--Wait? !

what time is it now? !

The movement of Ten Beams bouncing up from the bed awakened the two little ones beside him. It took him a long time to find the mobile phone between himself and Alice's quilt, and the alarm clock with the set time dutifully rang, but neither of them hear.

Zhou Fangzun didn't even give it to him out of the corner of his eye, and said directly to Alice who was in a daze under the covers, "It's already nine o'clock."

To be precise, it is 9:15 in the morning.

Five minutes ago, Alice's homeroom teacher, Sakurada-sensei, who had been waiting at the meeting place for 5 minutes, contacted Izumo Kusanagi. Zhou Fangzun woke up.

The last time Zhou Fangzun got up so early was the day when he was going to participate in the Alice School Games.

As for Alice?

The little girl was stunned for a long time. After being forced to accept the cruel reality that she was late, she immediately jumped up from her bed and rushed into the bathroom like the wind.

Although she always complains that she doesn't want to go to school, in fact, Alice will get up and wash up very cooperatively. Compared with getting up early and going to class, she hates standing at the door of the classroom to apologize to the teacher after being late, and has to accept the whole class. The feeling of "attention ceremony".

The feeling called "shame" would burn Alice's ears and cheeks, and make her want to find a crack in the ground.

In short, she doesn't like it, so even if she is held by her father and crying while walking, she will still walk all the way to the school obediently, and then gradually stop crying a few hundred meters away from the school gate, and finally meet Kusanagi at the school gate Say goodbye, and then happily run up to say hello to the classmates you know.

But now Alice is late.

She was 15 minutes late—oh no, by the time she changed her clothes, combed her hair, and had breakfast, the school bus might have already arrived in Shibuya.

Alice is in a hurry.

As we all know, small cat's eye snails are very overwhelmed.

Once this small soft-tissue creature is stimulated by the outside world, it will quickly retract itself into the shell while spitting water.

It only takes a brief moment for a seven-year-old to break through.

"Wow-"

Alice, who was brushing her teeth, burst into tears, hiccupped, and almost swallowed the toothpaste bubbles in her mouth, which made Zhou Fangzun, who was helping her twist the towel beside her, laugh wickedly.

"If you stop crying by the count of three, I'll send you there." The Red King wrung out the towel soaked in warm water, and wiped Alice's face, "One——"

"Really?" Before he could count to two, Alice looked over eagerly.

"Is there any advantage in lying to you?" he asked back.

Alice thought about it, and there really wasn't.

So after getting the promise, she quickly settled down and stopped crying.

Feeling my conscience, I am still a little bit wronged and angry.He was angry with Duo Liang, but also angry with himself who couldn't help but vent his anger on Duo Duo Liang.

So when Ten Bee said goodbye to Alice, she muttered a few times, but she didn't say "goodbye" to Ten Bee.

Combining the considerations of various factors such as Tokyo's traffic congestion to the desperate traffic situation and the shortest distance, Zhou Fangzun, who promised Alice to send her to the Science and Technology Museum, borrowed a bicycle from the owner of the florist next door—with a basket in front. The one with the child seat behind the basket, Zhou Fangzun frowned and spent half a minute mentally building himself before he reluctantly carried Alice to the child seat behind.

—Go buy a locomotive later.

The moment he stepped on the bicycle, the third monarch made a decision in his heart with a dark face.

But the advantage of the bicycle was that as long as Alice, who was tightly wrapped, buried her face in his back, the wind couldn't blow her.

Occasionally, Alice would turn her head sideways, and the wind would dry her eyes, but she still couldn't help but want to see the street scenes that were retreating quickly and the people running slowly on the road.

When the bicycle passes the speed bump, she will be thrown up briefly, and the person carrying her will slow down after a while, but after a while, the wind passing by her ears will become louder.

Lying on the warm back, Alice slowly calmed down. The bicycle drove into the city, and the sound of the horn sounded from time to time did not make her feel anxious.

While waiting for the traffic light, Zhou Fangzun, who kept ringing the car bell, suddenly heard Alice behind him say that tomorrow is Anna's birthday.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"But I quarreled with Tatara..." Alice rubbed his forehead against him.

"It was you who quarreled unilaterally." Zhou Fangzun said, "When you lost your temper with him."

"Woo..." Alice lowered her head guiltily, "I'm sorry..."

She shouldn't be angry with Duo Duoliang.

"You should tell him that when you go back."

"……Um……"

Feeling the little dog behind him nodding, Zhou Fangzun let go of the handlebar and patted Alice's head with his backhand.

She wore a thick hat with a cotton hood over it.Zhou Fangzun only touched the soft fabric and the ball of yarn on Alice's hat under the fabric, and rubbed it.

The science and technology museum is not difficult to find. After parking the bicycle of the florist, Zhou Fangzun bought a ticket to send Alice to the teacher, and took her around the museum for more than ten minutes before finding the second grade. The team of the second class.

Zhou Fangzun didn't go any further when he was more than ten meters away, but Alice let go of his hand without hesitation and ran towards that side.

Little heartless.

The scarlet king's slander was not over yet, and Alice, who ran out, ran back again.

"...What?" He lowered his head.

Alice standing in front of him raised her head, motioning him to bend down.

"..."

Life is not easy, Chi Wang sighed.

In order to send this little heartless person away quickly, he could only bend down at her request, and then he was suddenly hugged around his neck.

"Boom!"

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

I felt sucked twice by a little octopus waving its tentacles with a suction cup...

"Worship!" Alice jumped on the spot.

"Well..." Hurry up and leave.

Watching Alice rushing towards his class team and greeting the teacher, Zhou Fangzun turned and left.

Bicycle... still have to ride back.

After returning it to the owner of the flower shop next door, Zhou Fangzun returned to Barbara, Pata and the others had already arrived, except for a few who took Anna out to play, the rest of them were still optimizing how to prepare for Anna tomorrow birthday party.

The preliminary plan is to give her a rose at midnight today, so that Anna can have a bouquet of her favorite red roses.

There is a flower shop next door, and Chitose came back with a pot of roses.

"General, you can go to another store and buy another one. There are only 13 here." After counting the number, Chitose Yang raised his head and directed his own hair boy. There are 14 people in the barbarian village. What if one is missing now, " The boss next door said that a customer came over in the morning and almost bought all the roses."

"...that guest is going to propose?" Izuba, who didn't want to go out on a windy day, complained.

"I heard that all of them were bought by Bingdi... I don't know why a school buys so many roses." Chitose pouted, "Remember to buy this kind of roses, or they will be closed at night. Limp."

"Isn't it better to ask so much for yourself?"

"chilly."

"You're cold and I'm not cold???"

Although it looked like they were about to pinch each other, the two didn't pinch each other in the end.

General Izuba went out, and Hiroshi Chitose continued to use his identity as the "commander in chief" to instruct his colleagues who had no chance to instruct him at ordinary times.

"I always feel that Chitose will be beaten after tomorrow." Shi Shu came to the bar with a bottle of Calpis, and took out a laminator from the storage space below.

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

把这种乱七八糟的东西放在草薙心爱的吧台下面的十束说不定才更容易挨揍。

While ten bunches were fiddling with the laminator, Zhou Fangzun took the photo that was put aside.The surface of the original photo without plastic packaging was a bit sticky, Zhou Fangzun took a look at it and put down the photo that was just taken last night.

"Did you stay up late yesterday?" Zhou Fangzun asked.

Ten beams laughed twice: "I don't know what's wrong with this one. It always has a strange color tone after washing, and it ended up staying up until the early morning without knowing it."

In the end, she accidentally fell asleep, causing Alice to cry early in the morning.

"By the way, King, is Liz still mad at me?" Shi Shu asked.

"No." Zhou Fangzun replied, "I still feel very sorry for you."

"Ah, so will you be able to receive her apology when she comes back in the afternoon?"

"...Why are you looking forward to it so much?"

"Because Liz's pitiful way of pleasing others is so cute. She will definitely try her best to make it up to me. If I say, 'It's okay, I've forgiven Liz, so Liz doesn't have to do anything. ’, she’d be even more guilty—cute all in all!”

"..."

Zhou Fangzun sighed again.

He has been sighing a lot lately for no apparent reason.

Deba Masaoomi called back and said that the nearby flower shop hadn't bought roses either.

Of course, this aroused the dissatisfaction of the commander-in-chief Chitose. He beat the table angrily, and ordered Hatta and the others to go out to find flowers together.

"Don't come back if you can't find it! Did you hear that!" Chitose who was standing by the bar ordered.

This guy's domineering look is really annoying, and the violent Hatta didn't give Chitose Yo face like Izuba Masamori did, and directly picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at the lucky villain.

The speed is not fast, and the size is also large. Chitose saw the timing and squatted down, easily dodging the flying pillow.

Unfortunately, although the pillow didn't hit anyone, it hit ten bundles of Calpis placed on the bar.

The glass filled with sparkling water tilted violently, and Zhou Fangzun quickly supported the body of the glass, but part of the sparkling water still spilled out.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

He finally edited the photos all night!

"What should I do..." He hurriedly used a paper towel to suck up the carbonated drink attached to it, but it was already too late.

"Hold, I'm sorry! Brother Shishu!" Hatta hurried over.

But a piece of the photo has been rubbed off and has become mottled.It would be fine if there were less important parts of the picture.

In the photo, the area that was erased from the white background happened to be Alice lying on Kusanagi's shoulders...

"It's okay... Anyway, the film negative is still there." Although Ten Tsukumo comforted Hatta verbally, the depression on his face made it look like it wasn't the case.

"I'll wash another one..."

The young man forced a smile, and gently stroked the already mottled places on the photo with his fingers.

"It's okay... there's always a way."

He murmured in a low voice, not knowing who he was trying to appease someone's faint anxiety.

Meanwhile, Alice's itinerary changed.

There was a small problem in the practice area on the second floor of the Science and Technology Museum. To be precise, it was a small fire.

The fire alarms in the museum went off, and the teachers and students who came to visit naturally couldn't stay in the museum any longer.

After discussing, the teachers decided that it would be better to move directly to a nearby art gallery than to stay like this.

So Alice, wearing a little yellow hat, followed the class team through the bustling Shibuya, and came to the art museum about 500 meters away.

Before starting free activities after instructing the precautions, Teacher Sakurada gave them homework, found a painting that they were most interested in and wrote it down, so that the lady explaining the story behind the creation of this painting could be explained to them.

Because Alice never admits how bad her art skills are, she has always been a loner in painting class.

Alice shuttled through the art gallery with her small notebook in her arms.

Among the many paintings, she found that she was more interested in portraits than scenes.

And the portraits in Alice are roughly divided into two types: weird and not so weird.

The weird ones are basically the Ukiyo-e prints she has seen.

The less weird ones are the oil paintings of various famous artists.

Alice stopped in front of a not-so-weird oil painting, which showed four children.

Three in tutus with wide skirts, one in a shirt and trousers.

The youngest one, who didn't even look like he was in kindergarten, was held by his elder sister, begging for a bunch of cherries her elder sister was holding.

Alice liked the skirts on them.For this reason, she copied the name drawn in the notebook.

"Gr... er..." It was difficult for her to pronounce the name of the painting, which was all in katakana.

"Graham's child." A voice came from the side.

Alice looked at him.

He was a boy with pale hair.

Although his profile was pretty, the way he stared straight at the oil painting on the wall frightened Alice for no reason.

"Did you know that the cherries in this painting represented the fruits of heaven in that era."

He pointed to the youngest child in the painting: "The child was dead when this painting was painted."

"In order to remember him forever, his parents preserved his appearance in the form of paintings."

The boy explained to Alice in a strange tone.

When Alice was about to leave, the pale boy suddenly reached out and grabbed her hair.

it hurts! !it hurts! !

Alice felt like her scalp was about to be torn! !

No one had ever pulled her hair like that before! !

Tears instantly blinded her vision, and Alice could only follow the strength of the man behind her and turn her head back.

"The love a parent has for a child is amazing. Don't you think so?"

She saw the boy's blood-red and terrifying pupils, they were shaking slightly, as if telling madness.

"Zhou Fang...Alice."

The man smiled wryly.
