I paid too much for Feiwuluo

When I received a call from Kunikida Doppo, the flight Kusanagi Izumo was on just landed and was in the final taxi.

Amidst the roar, the man covered his mouth and yawned. While taking out his phone to turn off the airplane mode, he drowsily recalled the dream he had just had when he was taking a nap.

The first half of what happened in the dream happened to him not long ago.

At that time, he was busy with ten bunches of tatara to set up the spot for Anna and Alice's trip to the aurora. They settled in a bright and warm log cabin hotel with a few strings of marshmallows next to the fireplace in the northern part of the country close to the Arctic Circle. .

A local guide introduced them to Icelandic coins.The denominations of these small round things range from 1 crown to 100 crowns, and the stamped patterns are all fish, shrimps and crabs that this country depends on for survival.

Kusanagi kept two copies of each of these coins, intending to take them back as gifts for Anna and Alice.

Then he wiped away the thick water vapor covering the window, and the outside was also frozen, making it difficult to see the scene outside, but the howling wind and snow began to make Kusanagi think, Alice's physique is not very good, she may not be suitable for such a cold place to travel.If you really want to send her to this cold "Last Hearth" in her time, you should probably take her running and exercising from now on.

Will Alice agree?

Thinking of this, he blinked his eyes, and then there was only one blue-eyed sticky baby, hugged his neck hard, and cried loudly—although she could only say "sticky" and "sticky". sticky", but Kusanagi Izumo was surprised to find that he understood what she was saying, and he didn't know why he had identified its gender as a girl very arbitrarily.

In short, this sticky baby, who was weeping, expressed his strong dissatisfaction with getting up early and running.

Getting up early to go to school is already painful, why use running to torture the weak sticky baby?

If you are so inhumane, you will lose Sticky Treasure!

She yelled "sticky, sticky".

Ok……

Kusanagi Izumo understands the truth, but he doesn't understand the relationship between humanitarianism and this inhuman creature.

In the dream, he was just about to sit down seriously and reason with this sticky baby, telling her the benefits of getting up early and exercising.However, at this moment, a boy with pink hair and two lollipops stuck in his head suddenly appeared. Tell him without moving: Come back, if you can't take care of it, don't take care of it.

Then Kusanagi woke up from the dream.

Woke up.After waking up, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why he fabricated a person with that "special shape" in his dream.

Shi Shu handed him a tissue to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and asked with a smile, "Brother Kusanagi, what did you dream about? You were so frightened."

"... Sticky Treasure..." Kusanagi took the tissue and pressed it on his forehead.

"……what?"

It's not that Shishu doesn't know what Sticky Treasure is. He is one of the people who most often accompany Alice to watch cartoons in Barbara. Which characters appear in Alice's favorite cartoons? He is better than Kusanagi Izumo. Still clear.

"...Blue-eyed Goo." Kusanagi said it again, and turned off the airplane mode of the phone amidst the purser's announcement reminding him to land.

Then by coincidence, he immediately received a call from Kunikida Doppo.In the feedback from the homeroom teacher's due diligence, Kusanagi Izumo learned of the good deeds of his own king.Then, there was the scene of "the second in command of the barbarian Luo committed a crime of beating the Red King with the pillow above".

In fact, before becoming a father, Kusanagi Izumo had always been very open-minded about "love".

In his philosophy, like going to school for the first time, graduating from school for the first time, and parting with friends for the first time, "falling in love" is nothing more than one of many life experiences, and it will happen naturally when it should happen. Even if the parents don't want to and do everything possible to prevent it from appearing, the feelings born under the stimulation of hormones and dopamine will flourish together with the child's rebellious psychology.

So whenever Kusanagi Izumo comforts his friends who are already married and start a business and have collapsed because of "my daughter was kissed by a stinky boy in kindergarten" and fell into misery, "look away", he I never imagined that similar troubles would fall on me one day.

After all, he didn't even think about getting married at that time, let alone raising a daughter.

Before that, Kusanagi Izumo had more or less boasted that he was a person who was good at understanding other people's emotions, but when the needle really stuck in himself, Kusanagi Izumo realized that as a father, at some point Well, they really hope that all other men in the world except themselves will evaporate directly - and his description of this urgent mood at this moment has not even been modified with the slightest exaggeration.

But hitting someone is wrong.

It is even more wrong to beat the king.

Kusanagi Izumo, who was clutching the pillow in his hand, calmed down amidst Tara's muffled laughter.

He sat down next to Zhou Fangzun's bed, raised his arms to wrap around the Red King's shoulders, and said in a deep tone, "I'm sorry, Zun. I was too harsh."

"Oh..." The Scarlet King didn't think so, so he said honestly, "It's okay."

Actually it doesn't hurt much.

Zhou Fangzun's last memory of being hit in the face by a pillow was actually not too long ago.

Not to mention Alice, even Anna didn't know where she was.He, Kusanagi, and Shizuka went to Hikawa Shrine on the dark day of New Year's Eve, and performed their first vows there the next day.

On the way, they lived in the only remaining Chase shop in a hotel, crammed all the boys into one room like they used to do when they went on school trips, and then they started a pillow fight very naturally—ten bunches of first hands, he In this regard, people have always been addicted to cooking. Knowing that they have no chance of winning, they will still go forward and grab a pillow and throw it in Zhou Fangzun's face.

As a result, of course, ten beams were rubbed against the ground. Kusanagi hid outside the room and made a phone call because he still had to deal with business matters, but even if he didn't answer the phone, he probably wouldn't have joined in this childish game.

Zhou Fangzun had no impression of such trivial matters at first—after all, he didn’t even remember the exact date of Anna’s birthday last year, and the pillow that fell on his face didn’t hurt much, but it was probably this sudden shock that triggered him. Pressing the memory button, he suddenly remembered a lot of things.

Including but not limited to, at the first day of the day, the rich and powerful boss Kusanagi threw a [-]-yen banknote into the money box after ringing the bell and clapping his hands to pray.Ten bundles sighed with distress that they gave so much, and asked Kusanagi what wish he had made.

What is that wish?

Do you want everyone to be safe?Or can barbara get better?

Zhou Fangzun stared at the pitch-black floor, but this time he couldn't recall smoothly.

But what is certain is that if he goes to that Hikawa Shrine again, Kusanagi will stuff another tens of thousands of yen into the money box, praying that Alice will never fall in love in this life.

Just as he was about to calmly accept Kusanagi's apology and lie down to sleep, Zhou Fangzun found that the arm on his shoulder didn't seem to be taking it off.

"But if there is a next time, I will hit you again."

"..."

"'I was wrong, dare to do it next time', I want to convey this meaning."

"..."

Zhou Fangzun always slept late, and after he was "beaten up" by himself, Kusanagi Izumo sat alone on the sofa on the first floor.

After brainstorming for two hours, the faint morning light slowly climbed up the wooden window sill of the Barbara.A mist like milk diluted with water floated on the street.

Alice will be up in two hours.And in the past two hours, Kusanagi Izumo has been thinking about how to calm down if Alice asks what "love" is after waking up, and then give an answer that is not biased but can make people feel happy. The daughter does not produce an answer to her yearning for love.

Although he knows that getting an answer that meets his requirements is no less difficult than Party A saying I want colorful black and colorful white, but since Party A is himself, Kusanagi Izumo still racks his brains to find another answer. Trapped in thought for hours.

And just when he stepped up the stairs disheartenedly and was about to wake Alice up, the little guy who suddenly opened the door by himself and was already dressed came out from behind the door.

Her bright blue eyes embraced the bright sunlight outside and Kusanagi's figure.

The young man saw himself in her round pupils and saw his slightly distorted reflection, a little embarrassed and a little funny.

"You're back!"

But in the puppy's eyes, his father, whom he hasn't seen for three days, is still so handsome.But although she was very happy, she lowered her voice and closed the door gently - it seemed that Anna was still awake.

After being taught a biological clock by the school, the chances of Anna being able to wake up Alice are so rare that this little lady who considers herself an older sister sighs.

The puppy, whose tail was about to break off, rushed towards Kusanagi, and rubbed his frizzy head affectionately against his neck: "I miss you so much, Izumo!"

"Tumemanques, machérie." Kusanagi hugged her, and pressed his lips to her temples, only to realize that his lips were peeling after a night of anxiety...

"What's a 'baaa moko lynx'?"

"It's French for 'I miss you too'."

"Izumo speaks French very well."

"Then do you want to learn?"

"... Do I need to recite words in French?"

"Oh yes."

"...Then, forget it..." Alice muttered in a low voice, "Ms. Kunikida assigned homework of copying words yesterday, it was very troublesome... Well, I didn't mean that Mrs. Kunikida was annoying, it was English So annoying..."

Kusanagi smiled and told her not to learn.

Since raising Alice, Kusanagi Izumo has developed the ability to do things with one hand—at least it is not a problem to crack an egg and flip a spoon with one hand.

Because Alice watched Howl's Moving Castle recently, the little guy wanted to eat soft-boiled eggs and bacon.Kusanagi made her the breakfast in the cartoon, and added a piece of toast and a cup of hot milk with sugar.

During the time he was busy in the kitchen with Alice in one hand, the infinitely curious little guy didn't mention any topic of love.

In all fairness, this made Kusanagi even more uneasy.

In fact, the point of his anger from the beginning to the end is not that Zun accidentally told her what "love" is, but Zun's request to her "not to be in love before".

Although he knew that Zun probably didn't want Alice to fall in love, so he made an agreement with her not to fall in love before, but didn't this force the child to be curious and rebellious? ? ?

It's time to give my king some books on child psychology and make up for it!

Kusanagi sighed heavily.

What they saved on Anna at the beginning, now they have to make up for Alice.

Noticing that he sighed, Alice, who couldn't eat half a piece of toast left, poked her head, and then looked down at the breakfast she had left.

She pursed her mouth and struggled for a while, and finally ate the contents of her small bowl decisively - including the oil stains left on the bottom of the bowl after the bacon was fried, and wiped it clean with bread.

"Crazy! It's over! You're so good!" She held her shiny food bowl... ah no, it was a small bowl, and held it in front of her father as if showing off.I hope that my behavior today will make my father happy.

"Oh..." Kusanagi came back to his senses, not only surprised that Alice's appetite suddenly improved, he also looked at the time in surprise.

In just 10 minutes this morning, Alice finished her breakfast, and it was clean.

He was ready to help her finish the rest of her breakfast.

Speaking of eating leftovers, this was also an unprecedented experience for Kusanagi Izumo before adopting Alice.Although his conditions are indeed so good that he can buy rice and use it as a toy for Alice, but it is not advisable to waste food.To teach children these principles, we must always pay more attention to the details of all aspects of life.

And when she performs particularly well, she must also remember to praise and encourage her in time.

"Our Liz is awesome." Kusanagi took out a tissue to help her wipe her mouth, but Alice shook her head and refused.

"I will do it myself!"

"...Okay, you do it yourself." Kusanagi stretched out his hand, and smoothed off a small tuft of sleepy hair on his daughter's head.

Alice didn't grow much in the past year. Hatta and the others measured her at 3.2 centimeters. Such a small size still allows her to rush into the arms of those who want to hug like a small cannonball. So as not to injure the opponent.

She didn't grow much taller, and the flesh on her face was brought back after a long illness.And this kind of change is so small that it can be ignored, giving people the illusion that "she seems to be so small forever".

But she will grow up, one day, sooner or later.

Then he made up his mind, held Alice's face in his hands, and said to her solemnly, "Liz."

Those big blue eyes blinked at him.

"In the future...no matter what you want to do, Dad will support you."

Like every father, he must learn to accept it calmly, learn to separate peacefully, learn to tear away the selfishness wrapped in "love" and "this is all for your own good", and expose the bitterness in it.

"Then can I have ice cream..."

After a long time, a small murmur came out of his daughter's greedy mouth.

"……puff."

Kusanagi turned his head away and laughed, then he coughed lightly and said to her righteously.

"this is not OK."

It's almost Anna's birthday.

However, not only does Alice not know what gift to give her sister, but she also doesn't know where the money for her gift should come from.

She wanted to buy Anna a birthday present, but she didn't want to ask Yun for money.

Alice was very sad because of this.When she was worried, the most obvious manifestation was that she held her desk, held her face, sighed, and couldn't eat.

Alice didn't touch the buns and milk given out by the school at noon today. Fu Heihui sternly rejected Alice's proposal to feed the buns and milk to Jade Dog, and told her that they should be eaten by herself. That's how you grow taller.

Cute Lisi turned a deaf ear, she reluctantly licked the furry head of the Jade Dog, and put the bun into her schoolbag.

After winter, Yundou no longer brought worms to Alice.One is because there are few bugs in winter, and the other is because Yundou has caught common and not-so-common bugs in a radius of [-] kilometers, and if you catch them again, they will be repeated bugs. It’s not good to send duplicate things—it’s like when you go to someone’s house as a guest, you bring two packs of biscuits to others one day, and another two packs of biscuits the next week. Cookies make you want to throw up.

So the frequency of Yundou looking for Alice has become much lower recently, but also because of this, her army of bug specimens, which had grown stronger, finally stopped fighting before the small utility room in the attic could not be filled with anything. pace——If the increase doesn’t stop, Kusanagi will have to find a way to find another place for Alice to store these “babies” of hers.

Afterwards, accompanied by Hatta and Kamamoto, Alice counted the fixed assets she hid under the bed.

Insect specimens: several (a small part can be sold)

Cleaned sugar paper: several

Blue glass beads: one (not for sale)

Papa dumplings from a sister I don’t know on the tram: one (not for sale)

Toys found in the Fun Egg: Three (cannot be sold)

The general textbook Izumo found for her before going to school: five volumes

Medical records: one volume

Indwelling needle with removed needle: one

Bear doll with blue eyes: one (not for sale)

Coins Izumo brought back from Iceland: six (not for sale)

The garbage heap that I can’t bear to look at——Misaki Hatta and Toshio Kammoto judged in their hearts, and finally Toshio Kamamoto could only be cruel and told her cruelly: "Liz... only specimens of these things should be sold. ..."

And I don't know how long it will take to hang on the Internet before someone is willing to accept it.

After all, Alice's insect specimens were not only rough, but most of the insects themselves were incomplete with missing arms and legs.

But Misaki Hatta gave Kamamoto a blow to the stomach, and told him not to say unnecessary words with extremely fierce eyes.

"It's a big deal, after we help her post it on the Internet, let's spend money to buy it!"

Hatta's proposal is very good, but the cruel reality he has to face is——

"Little Hatta...have you forgotten..." Chitose Yang's mournful voice drifted faintly, "The deposit for the child's psychotherapy that I found for Liz last month cannot be refunded...at least I have no money..."

Hatta Misaki: "..."

I'm sorry, he, Kamamoto Riko, and Eric, the three of them are minors who often eat and drink in the Barbara, and they really don't have the survival pressure of Chitose Yang and the others who are completely self-reliant adults—— Although it is not impossible to let Brother Kusanagi hire them directly for salary, but no matter how you think about it, it is a bit useless, so the adults in Barbara go out to work by themselves to earn money and rent houses.

"Then what should I do?" Hatta Misaki touched her pocket, and there was a crumpled [-] yen bill inside.

Is five thousand yen enough to buy a gift for Liz?

By the way, that little girl doesn't seem to have decided what to buy Anna yet?

But according to Liz's thinking, she definitely hopes that the more expensive her bug specimens can be sold, the better...

Five thousand may not be enough...

"What do you mean?"

A voice suddenly came from behind Hatta, making him jump up from his seat in fright.

"Don't just scare people, Brother Shishu!!!" He slapped his chest and shouted.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The visitor smiled harmlessly, but when he heard the apology, he knew that he was insincere, and Hatta Misaki gave him an angrily gouged look.

"So what's your trouble?" Ten Beam asked.

"Liz has been thinking about making money these two days, and everyone is helping her find a way." Kamamoto said.

"Make money? Is there anything she needs to use the money for?" Ten beams blinked blankly, and the studs on the earbones reflected the soft light of Barbarone, "Why don't you just tell brother Kusanagi?" ?”

"I didn't tell him because I didn't want Kusanagi's money. Liz doesn't know why she wants to use her own money to buy a gift for Anna." Hatta looked at him in distaste. Brother Zun didn’t intend to tell—ah, I’m only talking to you, don’t tell Brother Zun and Brother Kusanagi.”

"Liz asked us how we could make money if we couldn't find a job right away." Hiroshi Chitose said, "Then we told her that we could just sell what she had."

"So you are worried about not being able to sell it now?" Shi Shu couldn't help shaking his head, pointing at them, "Why are you worrying about this before it's posted on the Internet?"

"Anyway, let's take a photo of the actual product and post it on the auction website."

"There will always be a way after that."

His eyes were bent into crescent moons.

Nocturnal Moth is still on the right path.

One of the two problem children put their feet on the table, and the other leisurely played with the magic ball that had been subdued not long ago.In the classroom, only Jiarui Niuzi was busy tossing the projector that he hadn't turned on for a long time.

"Jie, have you really never tasted snot-flavored ones?" Gojo Satoru glanced at him and the black ball in his hand, "The Bibi multi-flavored beans in other people's Harry Potter have more flavor than yours."

"Why on earth do you expect me to eat the snot-smelling magic ball, Wu." Xia Youjie smiled at him unfriendly.

"It's just because you never told me that the ball was bad! And the last time you ate this ball, you also tasted the crayfish burger flavor that I couldn't even get in line!" Gojo Satoru slammed the table Ring, "Is this plausible?!"

"I said you two...can you stop the meeting?"

Right now, the severely blackened nitrate looks like she hasn't had a good night's sleep for a few nights. Recently, she has been shopping for various specimens online at auctions, but unfortunately she always misses them because she didn't increase the price in time.

Today, I managed to catch the time when the teacher was not in class, and I was already frantically refreshing the auction website on the laptop, until the blinded home was so heartbroken, I directly used the projector in the classroom.

The iron rule on the battlefield is: don't mess with medical soldiers if you mess with anyone.

This principle applies to all aspects of life at the High School of Conjuration, just like don't mess with anyone in the restaurant cook.

So Gojo Wu curled his lips and said nothing more, Xia Youjie was holding the magic spirit ball in his hand and focused his attention on the projection screen of the glass in boredom.

After the small screen of the computer is enlarged, the efficiency of searching for the target product on the auction website is much higher in an instant.

And just when her finger moved across the mouse wheel again, Gojo Satoru suddenly let out a "huh".

"Glass! Go back, go back! Turn up!" the young master exclaimed.

Although the family into the glass is dissatisfied, but still do as promised.

"Tsk tsk, the world is so small." Gojo Satoru slid down the small round sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, revealing his blue eyes, "Isn't this the little guy who helped you improve your food? Jie."

In the product preview pictures of many specimen categories, among various bottles and jars, a little girl with only black hair and blue eyes exposed is holding a white board full of various insects.

Xia Youjie stared at the screen, and nodded after careful identification: "...it's her..."

"Click in, click in, I want to see the details!" Gojo Satoru ordered.

However, Jiarui Nizi ignored him, and continued to try to find the specimen he wanted in the vast ocean of auction items: "I don't have time, I have to take a look with your own mobile phone."

It didn't matter to the young master Wutiao, he picked up his mobile phone graciously, Xia Youjie followed, and the two of them found the little girl they had seen outside the dessert shop again without much effort.

"What is she going to sell? Insect specimens?" Gojo Satoru poked open the remaining few thumbnails, all of which were insects with broken arms and legs.

"How dare you put a price of 5000 yen just like that???" He snorted softly, "It's the wind that blows the little girl's film into other people's money."

Xia Youjie didn't speak, and silently registered the account of this auction website.

Gojo Gojo choked up when he saw his movements: "Did your money really come from a strong wind? Jie?"

Xia Youjie smiled and looked at him for a while without saying a word, and then said leisurely: "It looks like she made these by herself, she will be sad if no one buys them——Wu."

"what?"

"You also come to bid."

"???"

"Why???"

"Because she is the savior who helped me improve my food - I will give you my money then."

"Hey, am I the one who cares about that little money! Let's go, I can bid up to [-] with myself." Gojo Satoru hummed, and then he really started to increase the price under the insect specimen.

But in 5 minutes, he successfully added all the way to [-] yen, making the auction bidding area below lively.

No one is competing with him, and the next thing is to wait for the auction time to end.

However, just when Gojo Wujo was about to show off his merits to his best friend triumphantly, his mobile phone, which was already off the screen, suddenly vibrated.

A message was immediately pushed onto his screen:

[The buyer [Saruhiko] has followed the price, please log in to the website or APP to check]

Gojo Satoru: "?"

Who else in this world is so bored to bid with him for a little bug with broken arms and broken legs? ? ?
