I paid too much for Feiwuluo

Anna has a piggy bank.

In the shape of a pink pig, the hole for stuffing coins is on the back of the pig, and the hole for taking out coins is on the belly of the pig, covered with a black soft rubber cover.

However, in Anna's eyes, it looked a little gray, a gray little pig, as if it had just rolled in the mud and was fished back.

All in all, it's a piggy bank that isn't cute enough, but not ugly either.

Ana loved it though, and kept using it, and every once in a while she'd put the coins she got from Izumo into the little pig.

Because this piggy bank was brought back to her by Zun.

Like Alice's pile of "babies" in the cardboard box, Anna also keeps it under the bed where she sleeps.

Alice, who was always crawling under the bed, of course noticed the little pig.But after she asked Anna and learned that it belonged to her, she quickly included it in the list of "non-touchable items".

It's not really something you can't touch.

Anna wants to tell Alice that she can even take out the money in it.

But Izumo said that was wrong.

He said to Anna with a serious attitude: Anna, you can't always spoil Alice like this.

You can't let Alice sleep as long as you want her to sleep.

You can't help Alice eat the hard-boiled eggs she doesn't like in order to avoid criticism.

You can't try to cover up after she made a mistake.

Not to mention running out to speak for her when she is being criticized.

Otherwise, the cute little bear that rolls down from the hillside in spring will slowly turn into a bear with teeth and claws.

Izumo had said this to her before.But Anna just wants Alice to be happy every day.

However, for some unknown reason, the recent Alice was a little listless, like a little cuttlefish that was brought to the shore from the sea, limp and lethargic.

Not only is she not serious when eating, even when she gives Alice ice cream, her white and clean face will show an age-inappropriate sadness—although she still knows how to eat, Alice looks unhappy after eating ice cream.

Even though Zun poked her every time, Alice would still spit out black ink,

But even Xiaobai found that Alice has become less energetic recently, and when Alice touched it, it would not turn its head and pretend to bite Alice's hand.

Her little sister isn't a happy elf anymore...

But at such a critical moment, Izumo went abroad again.

Anna was so anxious, she couldn't think of the reason why Alice became like this anyway, and she was also depressed.

The two small depressions hovering above the Barbara were more of a headache than when Alice begged for ice cream and asked others to keep it a secret from Izumo Kusanagi.

They worked together for a long time, and finally discussed a plan to take Anna and Alice to the amusement park.

"Go and play in the happiest place in the world! I don't believe she can still have a sour face!" Hatta Misaki slapped the table with pride.

"OhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

As the saying goes, fat people are potential stocks.Toshio Kamamoto is a typical example of this proverb.Once the summer comes, Kamamoto Riko, who has the heaviest tonnage in the Barbara, will lose weight quickly because he can’t eat in the bitter summer, and will become the most eye-catching scenery among the members—no one can help being attracted by a blond and brown-skinned big man. Handsome guy attracts attention.

But this kind of charm has no effect on the same sex, and it even makes the companions (except Chitose Hiroshi) who get along with each other day and night and who are also unfeminine, feel indignant that "there is a traitor among us!"

So every summer, contrary to Kamamoto's rapidly rising love fortune, it is his right to speak in the Barbara that falls into the trough.

Although I really want to remind them that even if I go to the amusement park according to Alice's current height, there will probably be many items that restrict her from entering...but forget it.

Hearing their quarrel-like discussion, Shishu Tatara couldn't help smiling, fiddling with his camera in his hand.

"Brother Shishu, are you going? I'll buy a ticket if you go." Hatta shook his wrist, and the bay window projected by the smart terminal shook slightly following his movements.

"Go on your own." Shi Shu raised the camera in his hand, "I made an appointment with someone to learn landscape composition."

"Brother Shishu, are you still playing with that camera?" Chitose Yang was shocked, "Everyone thought you were only popular for 3 minutes."

After all, he looked at a guitar placed in the corner of the Barbara bar—it was also a ten-bundle tatara thing, but until now its owner hadn't even learned how to read the staff.

"You...you actually think of me like that." Ten bundles folded their hands on their right chest, looking very hurt, "I just have too many hobbies and haven't found time to learn yet."

"Yes Yes……"

But it was clear that no one could take his defense to heart.

Misaki Hatta quickly bought the tickets.

A faint smile appeared on Anna's expressionless face: "I, I'll go upstairs to find Liz!" Then she ran upstairs.

When there are many people on the first floor, Alice usually does her homework in her room.

For this reason, Kusanagi Izumo also added two small tables to her and Anna's room - Alice had to have Anna, and in this kind of place, children should not be favored over one another.

But Anna seldom stayed in front of this table, and more often she was more willing to let Alice use it to display her unfinished manual work.

Alice's task today is to write a biological observation diary during the summer vacation (for which she raised a pot of morning glory), twenty arithmetic problems, and the practical homework of "talk to mom and dad after dinner".

The first two items need to be photographed and sent to the cloud, and Alice has already finished writing them.

But the same after...

She doesn't want to chat with Smelly Zun.

Alice puffed up her cheeks, and sat on the edge of the small desk with her face on her back. In front of her were an open draft, a pencil, and dozens of small coins that glistened in the sun.

These are the change you usually get when you go out to buy snacks.Izumo divided them into two equal parts, one for Anna and one for Alice, and let the two of them keep it for themselves.

Alice has checked a lot of things with Tatara's cell phone in the past two days.Like "how much is the monthly salary of parents", "how much is it for children to study", "it is easy to go bankrupt when doing business", "how much is compensation for smashing other people's houses".

She didn't get a definite answer to the first question.Because everyone's occupation is different, the salary is also high or low.

The second question is more scary. It will cost about 0 million yen to raise a child from 22 to 3000 years old.

The answer to the third question is also not good.But what we can know is that there is no business in this world that can make money without losing money.

As for the fourth question...

[If it's a building in the Tokyo area...hahaha, why don't you just go to jail if you ask this question?

[Laughing to death, someone asked me how much I would pay for destroying half of the pedestrian street.Do you have a mine at home?I actually feel that I can afford it hahahahahahahaha]

Alice whimpered and returned the phone to Tatara.

If Izumo lost money for Chouchozun, wouldn't Wuwuluo definitely go bankrupt?

And it costs money to raise her in Izumo.Anna spends less money instead of going to school.

She looked at the small coins on her desk, the total amount was only [-] yen, not even a fraction of the tuition fee for her to go to school every semester, the more and more grief came from it, and it couldn't be cut off.

"Woooooooooooo..."

"... Liz?"

Alice turned her head. Although her eyes were blurred with tears, she could tell from the simple outline that the person standing at the door of the room was Anna.

"What, what's wrong? Liz?" Anna hurried to the small desk, grabbing her sleeves to help her dry her tears.

Alice whimpered and shook her head.

Hearing Anna say that Hatta and the others were going to take her to the amusement park, Alice was stunned for a moment, blowing her nose out of tears.

"Go, go to Youluo Garden, do you want to buy a ticket?" Alice sniffed and muttered inarticulately.

Anna took a tissue from the bedside table and wiped it clean for her: "Yes."

"Then I don't, I don't want to go, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

When he heard that he was going to the amusement park to ask for money, his personality would become extremely stubborn in some places, and he performed a burst of tears for his sister Anna Maomao on the spot.

Anna: "?!"

She was so startled that her hair almost exploded, she hurried downstairs and even fell on the ground.

"Wow?! Anna?!"

"Are you okay?!"

"Where does it hurt?"

"D-Duo Duoliang!" Anna hurriedly got up again, not caring about the dust on her skirt, and ran to Shishu, "Liz, Liz..."

Stumbling in a hurry.

"Liz... Liz cried so sadly, I don't know why..." She grabbed Shi Shuu's hand and tried to drag him upstairs.

"Okay, okay. Don't panic, I'll go upstairs to find Liz now."

Ten Beams put down the camera in his hand and touched Anna's head.

He came upstairs, probably because Anna ran too flustered just now, and didn't have time to close the door. Standing at the door, she could hear Alice crying inside.

"Liz?" He knocked on the door, "I'm coming in."

Alice, who was lying on the small desk with her back to him, wiped her face, and the pair of blue eyes that turned her head were crying like a bunny.

"Totara..."

"Anna is very worried about you." Without closing the door, he picked up Alice who was sitting at the desk like Kusanagi did, and sat on the edge of the bed.

This little guy seems to be a little heavier than when he went to Scepter4.In the past, there was no weight in a bag of rice, but now it is about half a bag?

"Why are you crying?" Ten Beams knocked his chin on Alice's hair, patted along her thin spine, and asked in a gentle voice.

Alice was crying so hard that she probably couldn't speak for a while.

Ten beams didn't dislike her either, and decided to let her cry enough before talking.Then amid sobbing after another, he heard small footsteps appearing in the corridor on the second floor, and touched the door of Anna and Alice's room all the way.

He looked back quietly, and found that several heads were on the edge of the door frame, almost reaching the top of the door frame...

Zhou Fangzun, who just woke up, opened the door of the next room, just in time to see them sneaking around in the corridor, staring blankly at these fools for a long time, and then he was pulled aside by Anna who found him, Forced to watch quietly.

——You guys are too scary! ! !

Ten Beams talked to them with exaggerated lip language.

Fortunately, Alice in his arms could not see such a scary "Headed Arhat".

She is only a little bit older now, and although she has gained a little weight, she doesn't seem to have moved much in height.

When Izumo Kusanagi hugged him in his arms, it was only a small ball, and when he was hugged by the thin Tokusu, the top of his hairy head was no higher than the young man's shoulders.

The crying died down.

Although she still twitches occasionally, compared to just now, Alice is emotionally stable now.

Seeing that she was almost crying, Tokuta Tara asked her question again.

"Why are you crying, Liz."

Alice pursed her mouth tightly and refused to speak.

Like a little clam retracted into its own shell, it shut itself up.

"Liz." Ten beams sighed, and turned Alice to face him. "If you don't tell me why you cry today, I won't eat. How about waiting here until you tell me?"

He looked at the child in front of him seriously, and pressed his forehead against hers.

A body temperature slightly lower than his own came through his and Alice's forehead hair.

Alice: "?!"

She widened her eyes incomprehension: "Why doesn't Tatara want to eat?"

He is so skinny!

"Because I don't understand why Liz is crying so sadly. If Brother Kusanagi finds out, I will definitely be beaten again."

Shi Shu said it aggrievedly, and hearing the barking dancers outside the door had goosebumps all over the floor, but his clumsy acting skills completely coaxed the inexperienced Alice—ah, I can’t say that, a kid of this age It can even be said that there is no world experience.

"Instead of being beaten up by Brother Kusanagi, I might as well show that I am reflecting on my mistake of not taking good care of Liz by not eating."

Alice was silent.She probably understands the causal relationship, but she doesn't understand it very much: "But Izumo is not Smelly Zun."

This sounded a little silly at first.But Shishu understood.What this means is that Brother Kusanagi is gentler than King, and Alice has not forgotten that after returning from Scepter4 last time, Smelly Lord pinched Tatara's head, making him beg for mercy.

"No, no, Kusanagi-san is much scarier than King when he's angry." Tokuta Tara said seriously, "At least no matter how you tease King, he hasn't spanked your ass, has he?"

Alice: "..."

Suddenly, I felt that what Duo Liang said made a lot of sense.

Seeing that her attitude was loose, Ten Beasts struck while the iron was hot: "So, for the sake of Liz's mental health, I must know why you are so sad."

The firmness in his tone made Alice lower her eyes.

The little girl stared at her fingers, which were stained with ink from her homework.After rubbing it away, it was gray, like she is not in a good mood now.

"But what if I tell you... Tatara is also sad..." Alice muttered softly.

"Did Liz ever think that I might be stronger than you imagined?" Tokuta Tara suddenly understood the reason for her reluctance to speak.

Because I am afraid that my anxiety will affect the emotions of others.But it's a pity that she is only a little bit old now, and she has something on her mind, and she can't cover it up well on her face; when she meets someone who is sad, her tears are even more turbulent as if the brakes have been released.

But this is a normal child.

In order for Anna to return to such a "normal", they have spent two years——When Anna first arrived in Barbara, the impression she gave was far from being as soft as it is now, but like a cold doll, The red eyes looked like handicrafts made of clay.

The arrival of Alice obviously accelerated the process.

In order to prove to Alice that he is a very strong person, ten bunches pressed her ear and told her some stories about himself.

For example, he also had the experience of being abandoned by his biological parents, who left him in a small park when he was three years old.

For example, his adoptive mother is a very gentle person, but because the adoptive father likes to gamble, the two divorced in the end, and the family he thought would be happy forever was broken again.

For another example, the adoptive father gambled away all the things in the family and owed a lot of debts, including usury who came to the door every day and threatened to cut off his hands and feet if he didn't pay back the money.

To pay off those loans, he failed to continue high school.Fortunately, Kusanagi Izumo took over the Barbara bar at that time, and invited him to be the first official employee. He was almost on the verge of living a life of nomads, and now he had a place to stay.

After listening to Shishu's story, Alice burst into tears again.

In fact, there are many places that she can't understand, but she can imagine how sad she would be if she didn't meet Barbara, and how sad she would be if Barbara broke up like Duo Liang's later family.

But the young man's tone was as clear and peaceful as the sky after the rainstorm.

Tatara is an amazing person.

Alice took his fingers lightly.He is obviously a very slender person who can be blown away by the wind, why are his hands so warm?

"Won't Tatara be sad?" the little guy asked muttering.

"Yes. But I'm very lucky." Ten Shu said softly, "The saddest time for me was when my adoptive parents divorced, but the saddest time for me was when I met King and Brother Kusanagi."

"So if there is anything sad, be sure to say it." He stretched out his hands to hold Alice's cheeks that had become sticky after the tears had dried.

"As long as someone is by your side, no matter how painful the memory is, there will be a day when it will be forgotten."

"Got it? Liz."

Usually, what are children at the age of Zhou Fang Alice usually worrying about?

Will my mother put nasty vegetables in her bowl when eating?

When writing homework, will you encounter questions that you have no idea at all?

When you go out to find friends to play, will you happen to meet the other party practicing the piano?

There are all kinds of things, as if they have everything.

But Alice's troubles are not so ordinary.

Because recently, the worry that has kept her from thinking about food and tea, and even dare not go to the amusement park, is whether Wuwuluo will go bankrupt because of lack of money.

"She—knows what bankruptcy is... I suspect that even Hatta doesn't know what bankruptcy is."

Mr. Eric's complaints are very sharp.Unfortunately, Hatta Misaki not only knows what bankruptcy is, but also can choke him in the booth of Barbara.

However, how to prove to Alice that [Barbara is not poor at all] has become an unresolved and imminent problem.

"Just let Brother Kusanagi show her the bank deposit, can't it be enough?" Chitose Yang was undecided, and moved out of Kusanagi, "Shall I call Brother Kusanagi now?"

"What's the call, brother Kusanagi is still on the plane back home right now." Izuba Masamune chiseled Fa Xiao's head, "It will take about seven or eight hours to get off the plane."

"Hiss... that's too long... how can you guys have the heart to make my lovely little Liz sad for so long!" Chitose Yang hammered down the table with a sad face, and then he quickly remembered this It was Kusanagi Izumo's precious possession, and he quickly leaned over to see if there was any damage on the desktop that would kill him.

"Speaking of which, Brother Zun? Where did Brother Zun go?" Hatta rejoined the chat after sanctioning Eric.

"That's right, I haven't seen Brother Zun, he was still here just now." Kamamoto echoed.

"My lord," said Anna softly, who was sitting on the sofa, "I just went out."

"Is it so sudden?"

"Is it because we are too loud?"

"Oh, you used to be more annoying than this before, and now you think about it?"

"Then we should wait for Brother Kusanagi to come back and explain to Liz the financial situation of the Barbara?"

"Otherwise? The little money you usually earn can cover daily expenses and rent."

"Damn! Why didn't I get rich! Speaking of which, how did the King of Gold become the richest man in this country?"

"do not know."

"The wages of the rabbits in Feishiyuan are also very high..."

"Maybe they still live in a villa."

"It seems good to be an ally of the King of Gold... After all, he is a subordinate of the richest man..."

"Hey, besides, Hatta is going to take your heads off."

"I'm just kidding, Hatta!! If you go after stars like this, you will definitely become a scary single pusher! Absolutely?!"

Amidst the noise, the time that belonged to Barbara was slowly stained with the crimson twilight of summer.

When Zhou Fangzun came back, most of the vicious sun had sunk below the horizon, leaving only less than the width of a knuckle.

"What about people?"

The red king, who was covered in gunpowder smoke, pushed the door and entered, his eyes quickly glanced around.Asura who just walked off the battlefield is so terrifying.

The sound of the doorbell behind the door did not overshadow his question, but made his presence more distinct.

Although it was not specified who it was, everyone knew that the Red King was asking Alice.

"Welcome back, King." Shi Shu laughed, "Liz is talking upstairs."

Zhou Fangzun turned around and went upstairs, Shishu and Anna followed closely behind, and the rest decided to follow and have a look, not to be outdone.

Alice, who had shut herself in her room, was sitting on the floor, playing with her stuffed insects.

Seeing Zhou Fangzun, she only glanced at him lightly, then continued to lower her head and poked the golden scarab fixed on the display board.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Fangzun took out something from his pocket and threw it in front of Alice.

The speed is very slow, even ten beams with poor dynamic vision can see clearly.

——It was a passbook.

Then the Red King left.

He was very sleepy, and yawned lazily like a male lion who just came back from hunting and distributed the results to his cubs.

Alice stared at the passbook for a while, then picked it up.

It says xx bank, depositor, deposit date, balance and some other things.

But the most eye-catching above is the word Zhou Fangzun.

And a "5" followed by seven "0"s before the decimal point.

"Brother Zun...you actually have 5000 million deposits?!"

"is that a lie!"

"If you don't believe me, see for yourself!"

The teenagers surrounded them noisily.

And just as they exclaimed, tears pooled together in Alice's eyes, and then broke the embankment.

That night, Kusanagi Izumo, who came back too late, was unable to witness the spectacular scene described by everyone as "Liz crying while holding a passbook and yelling that it's great not to disappear".

He and Shi Shu walked into Anna and Alice's room quietly, first checked whether the two little beans had kicked the quilt, and then sat on the side where Alice fell asleep.

The little girl with red eyes, holding Anna's piggy bank and the bank book given by Zun, seems to be having a sweet dream.

Kusanagi looked at Toku with a smile, and then acquiesced in the action of the other party raising the camera.
