I paid too much for Feiwuluo

It was already seven o'clock in the morning when we got off the plane and arrived at the hotel.

After being separated from Toku in the corridor, Kusanagi fell headlong into the bed as soon as he entered the room.Ten hours of flying made him physically and mentally exhausted, and now he doesn't even want to move his fingers.Although he is usually a very particular person, if he really wants to be lazy, he can be a rough guy who doesn't wash his hair for five days and doesn't shave for a week.

"Sleep directly without taking a shower after a long journey" is barely within the range of cleanliness Kusanagi Izumo can accept.He put away his glasses, squinted his eyes, and took a look at his phone.

The time on the screen is still Tokyo time.

Four p.m.

If nothing else happened, Alice should have returned to Barbara after school by now.

Alice sleeps better in winter than in summer. She leaves school at 02:30 in the afternoon and arrives home at [-]:[-]. She can often curl up with a blanket and sleep on the sofa until around [-] or [-] o'clock before getting up to do homework.

At first, Kusanagi was worried that she would not be able to sleep at night, but it turned out that his worries were unnecessary.

It may be that she spent a lot of energy in school. Ever since she was in elementary school, Alice has never had the problem of refusing to get up during the day and dance at night.

He tried calling Alice's children's cell phone, but no one answered.A little bit of loneliness and heavy tiredness swept over again made Kusanagi close his eyes.

When he woke up again, Kusanagi was awakened by the mobile phone covering the side of his face.

For a moment, he felt that his brain had started to swear, but he couldn't swear because his body was too tired.

Kusanagi connected the phone with his eyes closed, and before he could ask, there was a purring sound from the other end of the receiver, like the snoring sound of a sleeping kitten.

what?

For no apparent reason, he picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID.

"What kind of new prank is this?" Kusanagi asked, "You should know that I just arrived in Reykjavik, right, sir."

"I think the recording is boring, so I'll just let you listen to Zhou Fang's guinea pig snoring." After another rustling sound - probably the mobile phone was taken out from the blanket or quilt, Zhou Fangzun explained to him .

"...First of all, let me make a correction," Kusanagi woke up completely. He struggled to sit up, and glanced sideways at the still dense darkness between the gaps in the curtains. The sun was still not visible in Iceland at [-] o'clock in the morning in December. "Guinea pig, not a pig, but a guinea pig. If you want to call Alice by that, it's probably a misnomer."

The other side was silent.

"Secondly, her snoring can only mean one thing—she's going to catch a cold." While talking, Kusanagi turned on the speakerphone and the mobile phone memo, and found the short-term breeding guide written last night, and confirmed I went through the above and did not miss out on the prevention and treatment of colds, "Remember to drink some cold prevention medicine for her after dinner, and ask Anna to add two more clothes for her tomorrow morning. I will send you LINE with more detailed screenshots. By then Remember to watch."

After he finished speaking, he still felt uneasy. After thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, "Forget it, let me tell you again."

The other end of the phone was silent and silent, but Kusanagi knew that the person was listening: "Don't take Alice to eat fried chicken and hamburgers for dinner, she can't take it even if she makes a fuss, just say that I asked for it, and let her have any opinions when I go back I mentioned it to me; the cod liver oil and calcium tablets are placed behind the second row of dark beer in the wine cabinet, and the cod liver oil must be watched by her to eat, otherwise she will sneak to the trash can and spit it out; if you are too lazy to go out for breakfast tomorrow, just Goat's milk is also fine - don't give Anna and Liz fresh milk, both of them are a bit lactose intolerant, and drinking milk in the morning will cause a stomachache; oh yes, and remember to rub some baby cream on Liz before going to bed , you have to wipe it on the palm of your hand and wait for a while, otherwise she will refuse to wipe it if it is too cold..."

At the end of the call, the duration of the transoceanic call stayed at 23:33, and Zhou Fangzun only felt that his mind was buzzing.

The Scarlet King, with a simple and rough lifestyle, glanced sideways at the exquisite Xiaochai whose face was mostly buried in the blanket, and suddenly pinched her small nose out of anger.

After a while, she woke up with a whimper.

"Get up and do your homework." He combed Alice's bangs to the back of her forehead, and occasionally wondered why such a beautiful forehead should be left without showing her bangs.

Hearing the word homework, Alice woke up instantly, and slipped out of the bed.She took off the cotton coat before going to bed, and now she only wears a woolen sweater that (for her) is not cold resistant.The Scarlet King, who had just been slapped face to face, quickly stuffed her back into the quilt.

Alice, who hadn't come back to her senses, was covered tightly, and she got out of the quilt one by one, her hair was frizzy from the static electricity, she looked into Zhou Fangzun's golden eyes and asked, "My lord, Did you call Giyun? Did you ask about your birthday?"

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

"No." The big pig's trotter, who had completely forgotten about it, lied without changing his face.

"Why are you like this! You don't care about yourself at all!" Alice hit him with her head angrily.

However, the Scarlet King is something she can't move.

Although Zhou Fangzun looked thinner in his clothes, his clothes were full of hard tendons.

He can knead the little dough in front of him, and he can easily crush the head of the enemy with his bare hands—although the long-term nightmares and headaches are not the main reasons that make the Red King more restless, but in his mood When he is unhappy, Zhou Fangzun's maliciousness can be said to be almost indistinguishable.

People need a good night's sleep, and this truth applies even to kings.

But he still had nightmares.

Even if Alice was scared to make a wish once because of the soaring body temperature in the dream, she still couldn't get rid of the haunting nightmare-maybe Alice at the time only hoped that he would stop dreaming at that moment.

In short, the Scarlet King, who does not intend to let her abilities be used by him again, is still irritable and irritable, but he has to restrain his temper for the clan's family members.

However, if you insist on saying that Zhou Fangzun is different from the past, Misaki Hatta, who is the number one pusher of the Red King, will immediately say: Brother Zun's patience has improved.

——Can you change for the better?

It's not going to be good, maybe even Kusanagi couldn't listen to the babbling just now, let alone remember it.

He glanced at Alice who grabbed the two corners of the quilt and tied them in front of her chest, making herself a quilt cloak and jumping off the sofa.In the end, because the quilt was too heavy, she was strangled to the neck, and had to run back to ask him for help...

"Respect, respect!" Alice grabbed his hand and wrapped it around her neck.

In order not to let the quilt slide down, she still made some efforts.Although it was the simplest cross knot, she tied two and it was tight.

Calling her a little fool is not without reason.

The Red King, who helped her loosen the knot, raised the corner of his mouth almost imperceptibly, and then he remembered something, and suddenly couldn't laugh again.

Kusanagi said that Alice, ten years later, seems to be in love with someone.

Zhou Fangzun doesn't care who Zhou Fang Alice's love partner will be ten years later.

He only cares about whether such an idiot will be cheated by men in the future.How old will she be ten years from now?

16 is old.

What can a 16-year-old know?

do not understand anything.

Zhou Fangzun thought of himself.

He's done a lot of stupid things at the age of 16 - including but not limited to riding a bicycle off an embankment and then falling into the water without even braking.

Although she was deceived, he would definitely let the person who deceived her know what it was like to be hung up and roasted on the fire, but this did not prevent the possibility of her being deceived and hurt by love.

Zhou Fangzun couldn't help but frown when he thought that Zhou Fang Alice's name might appear in the list of drunken people lying on the Kusanagi bar in the future.

Compared with the precocious eldest daughter Anna, Zhou Fang Alice is really pitiful to the point of helplessness and anger.

"... I won't play like this next time... I'm sorry..."

Seeing his unkind expression, Alice immediately apologized sincerely to her father.She was wrapped in a quilt just now and wanted to find her cotton-padded coat, but now she couldn't find the cotton-padded coat and the quilt was lifted.

Although the air conditioner in the Barbara was turned on, the temperature difference still made Alice, who was only wearing a woolen sweater, shiver.

"...Come here." Zhou Fangzun stretched out his hand towards her.

Alice dawdled a few times, and as soon as she got close to Dad's legs, she was wrapped in a quilt by him again.

This time, Alice was wrapped in a cocoon and curled up on Dad's lap.

Zhou Fangzun only let her show her head outside, and stared at him with big eyes and small eyes—because His Excellency the Scarlet King always droops his eyelids, so Alice is the big eye, and he is small.

"Zhou Fang Alice." Zhou Fangzun rarely called someone so solemnly.

"What are you doing?" The little idiot who didn't look like him at all looked at him innocently.

"Tomorrow, I will take you to Ginza to eat ice cream."

Alice: "!"

"Really!"

The Scarlet King said "Yes": "The premise is that you must agree to my request."

"Hmm...you talk about it first?" Alice tilted her head, "I want to think about it after listening!"

The stupid daughter didn't agree directly, which was a bit beyond the expectation of the Red King.

But everything is still under control, and he is confident that Alice will agree to his request - one ice cream is not enough, then two.Anyway, he didn't say that she was allowed to redeem two ice creams in the same day.

So the Scarlet King ordered: "You are not allowed to fall in love before."

He thought for a while, and added: "It will depend on the situation later."

"Do you understand?" he confirmed to Alice.

The blue-eyed little fool stared at him for a moment, then shook his head.

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

"What didn't you understand?" He could only hold back his temper.

"I'm only six years old this year." Alice made a four with her left hand and a two with her right hand, putting them together, "It won't be until my twelfth birthday."

how?Do you think you have been in charge of her for too long?

Zhou Fangzun frowned, he was ready not to back down in this regard.

And it turns out he was overthinking it.

"What if I forget this request..."

Alice scratched her head, and turned the topic to another direction that Zhou Fangzun had never imagined.

"...I will remind you." Zhou Fangzun said, "There are others, and they will also remind you together."

Alice nodded suddenly, and then cricketed twice in the cocoon of the quilt: "Zun, I still have a question!"

"ask."

"'Love', what is it?"

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

Hiss... I shouldn't have asked...

At the same time, Kusanagi Izumo, who was woken up by Zhou Fangzun's phone call, left the hotel and was standing in front of the Reykjavik Cathedral in the cold wind.

He suddenly sneezed loudly, so frightened that Ten Bee almost threw the SLR in his hand out - it was difficult for old-fashioned film cameras to capture the aurora, so he could only temporarily put down his beloved equipment and turned to the embrace of modern technology.

"Brother Kusanagi, you don't have a cold, do you?" Ten Shu said, "If you're really tired, go to bed. I'm fine here by myself."

"No, I'm not at ease." Kusanagi directly rejected his proposal, "Your three-legged cat's English level, if you get lost, you won't even be able to ask the way, where can I find you then?"

"This place is less than one kilometer away from the hotel..." Shishu helplessly pointed the way they came, "Brother Kusanagi, don't you still care about my 'death ending'?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Kusanagi Izumo didn't say anything, but instead kicked him on the buttocks, "Don't feel sleepy, what are you going to do when you suddenly ran out and rented a camera?"

Shi Shu showed a happy expression of "you finally asked this question", and replied: "Shooting the aurora!"

"After shooting, go back and try to see if you can find a magazine to contribute to, earn some manuscript fees or something."

"Lack of money recently?"

"There is no shortage. But we must seriously start saving money."

"Oh? What? Is there someone you like?"

"Hmm... do Anna and Liz count?"

"It doesn't count. The two of them haven't spent your money."

"Hahaha, that's right. Brother Kusanagi has always been raising them."

Ten beams looked up at the dark sky.If there are vampires in the world, then they may be happy to settle here, and stand on a high place, laughing and watching the human beings who have traveled thousands of miles to the extreme arctic, where the average winter day only has four hours of sunshine, groping in the dark to open them. light-following journey.

"My goal is to send Anna and Liz to Iceland to see the aurora when they are respectively."

"How is it? Romantic isn't it?"

"It sounds like you have to save a lot of money." Kusanagi Izumo didn't deny his idea.

"Yes. So we need to think of ways."

The ten bundles of voices were shattered by the wind, but they were heard clearly in Kusanagi's ears.

"Liz and Anna...if only they could grow up more slowly."

"Who says it's not." Kusanagi laughed.
