I paid too much for Feiwuluo

It rained heavily after Halloween.

Two more days later, the awe-inspiring General Dong formally led his team and began the journey southward in a brazen manner.

Under people's shallow psychological preparation, not long after entering the early winter, there was a big dive with a 360-degree vertical backflip for three and a half weeks.Even Misaki Hatta has to add a baseball jacket to herself when she goes out.He wanted to eat toast for breakfast (actually it was already lunch), so he decided to skate all the way to the pastry shop near the rented house.

Zhenme Town is a small place, and the number of pedestrians on the road will visibly decrease on weekdays.Countless people flocked into the bustling Tokyo like crucian carp crossing the river, and then returned to their homes after nightfall.

The afternoon sun was still warm, and the street scene was like a film that was stretched and pulled out, and it quickly fell behind him. Every ten meters, you could see a pile of withered yellow leaves that had just been swept to the side of the road.

Through the clean glass window, Hatta Misaki saw a female shop assistant holding a large iron pan, opening the curtain and coming out of the bakery.

And standing behind the counter is also a female clerk...

Hatta Misaki suddenly didn't want to eat toast anymore.

However, he didn't leave immediately.

The window of the pastry shop was too spotless, and the light in the glass cabinet was too bright. Misaki Hatta saw the red velvet cake in the cabinet and the bear mousse cake next to the red velvet cake...

【buy it. 】

A voice in his head frantically began to egg it on.

[Anna and Alice are one for each other...and you can also buy a piece of toast by the way...]

Misaki Hatta pushed the door open.

Hatta Misaki walked into the store.

Misaki Hatta felt like a robot.

The clerk who noticed his arrival immediately showed 12 points of enthusiasm: "Welcome!"

Hatta Misaki froze in place.

Fortunately, the rich aroma of sugar and flour after baking slightly eased his nervousness, but even so, the few steps from the door to the cabinet almost made Hatta Misaki walk in the same direction. .

"What do you need?" the clerk with a sweet smile asked him across a counter.

Misaki Hatta could feel her face getting hot.He raised his hand and pointed to the red velvet and bear mousse in the glass cabinet, his movements were chaotic as if he was trying to drive away the flies around him.

"These are the two models you want, right?" the clerk reconfirmed patiently.

"Hmm... Ma, please pack another white toast."

Hatta Misaki's voice faltered a little, and she swallowed vaguely.

"Okay. Please wait a moment."

The clerk who served him immediately bent down, took out a copy of red velvet and bear mousse from the cabinet, and started packing.

Seeing this, Misaki Hatta breathed a sigh of relief.

When the pressure of communicating with girls was gone, he began to stand in front of the glass cabinet and let himself go.

He stared at the piece of bear mousse closest to him, and found that under the temperature difference, a thin layer of water droplets had condensed on the surface of the oval-shaped chocolate chip used to make the bear's nose.

Although I feel sorry for the owner of the pastry shop who designed this bear mousse, Misaki Hatta still inevitably associates this shiny bear mousse with Alice, who has a runny nose due to a cold recently...

The impact of the temperature drop in the changing seasons is significant.

For Misaki Hatta, this change is just a matter of needing to add more clothes outside. However, for a little Doudin like Alice, who is superficially healthy but actually fragile, it means the coming of a cold that can only be cured by stripping cocoons. .

Even though Brother Kusanagi had prepared to keep her warm, Alice still caught a cold—because she was dressed too much, and after sweating, she was hit by the cold wind again.

Speaking of this, Misaki Hatta had to say more about the great news that "Alice finally reconciled with Brother Kusanagi".

Alice, who suddenly got into trouble with Brother Kusanagi for no reason, after going to Oda’s house to ask for candy, recently she hugged Brother Kusanagi and refused to let go after school every day. Yes, nougat.

Although everyone was curious about the reason why she made a 180-degree turn and then turned again, they all tacitly didn't ask more questions.

After all, no one wants to see Alice in a semi-autistic state anymore.

During the days when she unilaterally launched a cold war against brother Kusanagi, they, the audience outside the arena, could not be said to be anxious.

For this reason, the few of them even made an appointment for children's psychological counseling service on the Internet with a little-known but high-review rate of 90.00%. The hospital is really too expensive, and there are indeed a lot of good reviews about [Linghuan Xiangtan], and it is obvious that the people who wrote these comments are sincerely grateful.

And on the second day after their joint venture gave the deposit of the consulting fee, that is, on Halloween, Alice Lightspeed and Brother Kusanagi reconciled.

The two father and daughter hugged each other in front of them, making people feel more intimate than before the Cold War.

Although Alice was very relieved to be able to change from the little rain girl who was worried and worried when she saw Brother Kusanagi back to the carefree Xiaodou Chai, but they knew that the deposit that had just been made up was paid so quickly. The tragic fact of the water drift still made the tears of several hard-working partners flow down uncontrollably.

Amidst Alice's happy giggles, Chitose Hiroshi was the one who cried the most.

This guy usually always refers to Anna and Alice as "the three women I love the most in this world (the other is his mother)", but it is really reliable at critical moments-the price of psychological counseling is not high. It’s cheap, but we all know that in this world, the price of anything that is related to children will increase exponentially—in short, Chitose Hiroshi, who loves Anna Allie and his mother the most in this world, has become one of them without hesitation. The one that pays the most.

"I'm so stupid, really..." Qiantui Yang covered his face, crying and laughing at the corner of the barbarian Luo.

He looked sadly at the one and two children who were sitting on the sofa to make up for the routine parent-child storytelling activity last week, his lips were murmured, and finally he could only humbly say:

"By the way, the deposit for consultation... can it be refunded..."

"Don't even think about it." Deba Masamori patted him on the shoulder, "The only thing that can be refunded is the 'deposit'. The 'deposit' is non-refundable."

Hearing this, Chitose Yang covered his face in pain—the money is gone, which means that for the next month, Chitose Yang will have to devote himself to work in peace and order, and he has recently established contact with him with great difficulty. Farewell to Miss Gentle Flower Shop.

"But that's good too." After a while, Chitose Yang cheered up again, without the slightest hint of chatting in his tone, "As long as everyone is well."

He then said another sentence, which made the air in the corner suddenly awkward—although it is said that there is an indescribable but inseparable connection between the characters of the clan allies and the colors they possess, and Chi Zhi The clan is also the clan with the most extroverted personality, but this sudden "show of favor" still made a few people present feel moved and at the same time had goosebumps that could fill Tokyo Bay as land.

And in order to conceal that he was actually moved by such a sincere and hypocritical wish, what followed was "Chitose, are you sick?" "Chitose, let me lend you some money." You can go," warm-hearted inquiry.

Chitose Yang was so angry with them that he raised his fist and beat him up.Brother Kusanagi, who was sitting on the sofa with Alice in his arms, glanced at them, said not to break things in the shop, and then carried Anna up the stairs with Alice in his arms.

Misaki Hatta, who has been away from home for almost three or four years, has given up thinking about whether there are really irreconcilable conflicts between parents and children.

All he knew was that he shouldn't have gone back.After his father died, his mother remarried, and the family had two younger brothers and sisters who were much younger than Misaki Hatta. His stepfather was also a very good person. No one rejected him, let alone told him to get out. This family, but Misaki Hatta just felt that she couldn't stay any longer.

There was no place for him there, and after all the love from his mother was divided among his younger siblings, there was only a little bit left for him—he knew he shouldn't think so.

Because the younger siblings did not divide up the mother's love, but they were too young and needed more energy from adults to take care of them.Mother did not love him, but inevitably reduced the time she spent with him.

Everyone is right.

Hatta Misaki, who felt that her mother no longer needed her own protection and had someone she could rely on, but felt that she no longer had her place in the family and ran away from home, was not wrong either.

But now it's hard for him to go back.

I don't know if I should be afraid of being forgotten, or if I should be afraid that my mother will remember me too deeply and make her sad.

"Misaki, don't you need to go home?"

Yesterday was Friday, Alice came back from school, and when Kamamoto said that she was going home for the weekend, she silently turned her head to Misaki Hatta, who was sitting beside her watching Kamen Rider with her.

"Ah?" Hatta Misaki, who was watching the Kamen Rider's transformation, was so excited that she reluctantly paid a little attention, and responded, "No reply. Why?"

Alice shook her head, she took a sip of milk, and then puffed up the deflated milk box: "Because Misaki never said to go home."

Hatta was speechless.Just when he was about to end the topic in silence, he heard Alice approaching and asked softly, "Did Misaki have a fight with Mom and Dad?"

"No." Hatta pushed Xiaodoushiba's furry head away, "I haven't seen them for a long time."

How could it be possible to quarrel.

"Why haven't we seen each other for a long time?" Alice hurriedly asked, "Does Misaki not want to see Mom and Dad?"

Knowing that she had accidentally turned on Alice's curiosity mode, Misaki Hatta frowned and thought for a while, and then started talking nonsense: "Because I eat too much and there are many people in my family, I didn't go back because I was afraid that my family would be poor." pass."

"...Every time Misaki tells Izumo what she wants to eat, she won't worry about it at all." Alice said with a broken face, "Misaki only eats a little of Izumo's food. I don’t feel bad at all! I don’t even help with the dishes! Misaki is such a chicken thief!”

Hatta Misaki: "..."

He really couldn't refute the point that he always ate and drank and didn't even help wash the dishes.

But who did you learn the word "chicken thief" from!Children are not allowed to say such uncute words!

He scratched his head through the knitted hat, and assured Alice with extremely accusing eyes that he would wash the dishes for a week starting tomorrow, which made the "papa who loves to make money cooking and washing dishes very much" Alice let herself go.

However, what Hatta Misaki did not expect was that after the topic of prostitution ended, Alice's curiosity returned to the original point:

"But if Misaki goes home but doesn't eat the family's food, but just visits her parents, won't she make the family poor?"

Hatta Misaki: "Ah, um..."

This is indeed the truth - no!It's over!Alice is not as easy to deceive as before!

Is this the credit of quality education?

He felt that in another two years Alice would not be coaxed by their random nonsense at all.

Hatta Misaki, who is not good at lying, suddenly felt awkward.

He sat restlessly on the sofa, clasping his hands.If he had observed carefully how Alice, who made a mistake, was punished, he would probably find that his current appearance was very similar to Alice who was waiting to be punished.

In the end he poured out all his truth.

Including the period when you feel that you have no place in your home and you are afraid to go home.

After Misaki Hatta finished speaking, she began to feel that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Alice, who likes to talk, doesn't talk, and I, who always listens to her, talk non-stop in blah blah.

...Is the identity upside down?

He is the grown-up.

Hatta Misaki thought belatedly.

To actually complain to Alice for so long...

... so poor.

"Sorry Liz, you forgot I just said—"

"But Misaki herself said that mom never said she doesn't love Misaki." Alice interrupted him, "So as long as mom still loves Misaki, Misaki can never leave her side for the rest of her life!"

She recounted almost exactly what she had learned from Rambo.

After Belphegor's argument that "blood is the only bond between people" was completely shattered by the hug of Izumo crying, Alice's position immediately fell to Lanbo, who was in a similar situation to her.

Alice, who had been injected with a booster, immediately began to shake her head and turn to convey her super-inflated self-confidence born of love to Hatta.

"So don't be afraid!"

Sitting on the sofa, Alice crossed her hips—now she really looked like a small boiling teapot: "Misaki's mother must be waiting for Misaki to come home!"

The hot air blown from the small teapot hit Misaki Hatta's face, making his eyes blur.

"Huh?" Alice, who was blurred into a big color block by the "heat", moved over, "Misaki, are you crying?"

"No!" He sniffed and yelled at Alice, "Look at your Kamen Rider!"

Alice snorted through her nose: "No!"

Since returning from Oda's house, she seems to be a little more unscrupulous.

Recalling that when Alice first came to Barbara, as long as Brother Zun, who was in a bad mood, almost glanced at her again, she would be scared and shrink back to Brother Kusanagi.

But now she can argue with them.

This progress is not insignificant.

And because of this, the human cubs, which became more and more hateful, also grew up a little bit without knowing it.

"Guest, your red velvet and bear mousse have been packed."

The clerk's voice brought Misaki Hatta back to the glass window.Then he discovered that besides red velvet and bear mousse, there are other desserts that should be popular with children.

Hatta Misaki stood in front of the cupboard, and thoughtlessly picked two packages to take away—he didn't know what his younger siblings liked to eat.

But if you want to go home...it's not good to just go back empty-handed...

He returned to Barbara and found that Kammoto Rifu was still there.

Why haven't you gone back...

Hatta Misaki muttered in a low voice, and put the four paper boxes in her hand and her own toast on the bar.

"Brother Hatta, why did you buy so many cakes?" Toshio Kamamoto immediately approached him, "Ah, is one of them for me to eat on the road? Oh, Brother Hatta, why are you being so polite——"

He stretched out his hand while talking, and Misaki Hatta patted the back of his hand heavily: "It's not for you!"

Kamamoto Torio: "Aww!!!"

Hatta Misaki looked around the store: "Where are Anna and Liz?"

"Liz went out shopping by herself—their social practice homework this week seems to be this." Kamamoto said, "Why do you run errands for your parents?"

"We should let the children play more on weekends. There are so many tricks in the school now." Misaki Hatta muttered dissatisfiedly.

"That's right!" Kammoto Torio echoed, "Anna is upstairs looking at brother Shishu's photos, do you want to tell her to come down?"

"No need for now." Hatta Misaki scratched her head, sat down next to the bar, and found a huge luggage bag at Kamamoto's feet.

But judging by its deflated appearance, it is obvious that there is not much stuff in it.

"Why did you bring such a big bag home?" he asked.

"Put something on." Kamamoto replied.

"Pack things?? You don't have many things to put back, do you?"

"No, no, no, I packed things back from my hometown, not over here." Kamamoto touched his stomach, "Every time I go home, my mother will pack a lot of things for me and bring them to Tokyo. It’s expensive to buy a bag for the first time, so I’d better take a bigger bag home.”

Hatta Misaki said "Oh".

This point of knowledge is indeed too unfamiliar to him.

"So Hatta brother, why are you buying so many cakes?" Kamamoto seemed to be still thinking about his cakes.

Hatta Misaki gave him a gouged look: "Give it away."

"Liz and Anna?" Toshio Kammoto was shocked, "So many... Liz will eat them all in one go, right???"

Even through the sunglasses, Hatta Misaki could read the panic of "Brother Hatta, you are dying" from his expression.

After all, Brother Kusanagi expressly forbids feeding Alice small amounts of sweets many times, or small amounts of sweets—she has already begun to show signs of tooth decay.

Hatta Misaki had no choice but to push the red velvet and bear mousse away: "These two are for Anna and Liz."

"What about the other two?"

"What are you doing asking so many questions! Why don't you hurry back to your home!"

"Why did I hear the Chihuahua yelling as soon as I entered the door..." Eric, who was standing at the door, muttered, and was heard by Misaki Hatta.

At the same time, Alice, who just learned to use the evil map, followed the mobile phone that kept sending out "you have deviated, and the route has been re-planned for you", and after a long time of dizziness, she finally walked out of the maze-like station.

Alice came to a strange area full of people.

She turned around and glanced over the station entrance she had just stepped out of.The name of the station entrance is written on it. Although it is an unfamiliar Chinese character, it is marked in Roman accents at the bottom.

Alice slowly spelled out the pronunciation of the first two words.

"I-ke-bu-ku-ro..."

Ikebukuro.
