The days that followed were uneventful.

After getting used to the life of the red group, Ryoko also started to spend every day at the downstairs bar watching a group of people making noise or running out to play by herself.It's just that Kusanagi has been refusing to provide alcohol and alcoholic drinks on the grounds of being "underage", which makes Ryoko feel a little uncomfortable.

Misaki Hatta hid when she saw her as usual. At first, Ryoko was surprised for a long time and even couldn't help pulling Kamamoto to ask if she had offended him. After learning of Misaki Hatta's innocence, his eyes began to look forever full of sympathy.

Anna, as always, stared at her when she saw her.Fortunately, if Zhou Fangzun is really there, Anna will be by Zun's side more often.At that time, Ryoko would pick the seat farthest from them—she had always found it creepy to be stared at by that doll-like girl.

The guy in the blue suit didn't come looking for trouble anymore, not even a little gangster who came to make trouble. After a long time, life will inevitably become a bit boring.

It was under such circumstances that Shi Shu's proposal of "Let's have a Qixi Festival party" was approved by all members—of course, Zhou Fangzun abstained.

Ryoko, who hasn’t lived a peaceful life for a long time, almost forgot what kind of day it was. It wasn’t until Shishu mentioned it that she barely remembered that there was indeed such a festival. Before the age of eight, when her parents were still alive, her father would bring a wishing tree every year on Qixi Festival. , and then the family of three wrote their wishes on small pieces of paper and hung them up.

It's a festival that has nothing to do with supernatural beings.

She couldn't help thinking in a daze: Ah, it turns out it's already July.It has been half a year since she opened the box out of curiosity.

Since the Qixi Festival mainly prays for the girls to have good craftsmanship, Ryoko and Anna, the only two girls in the entire HOMRA, suddenly became the focus of attention.A group of guys started to decorate the wishing tree noisily and noisyly since the first few days before Qixi Festival. Ten bundles even bought a lot of cards and sent them out when they saw them. Even the statue was forced into one by him.

Ryoko is not disgusted with these lively activities, and she also actively helps when she is having fun, and even comes up with all kinds of weird ideas to dress up the wishing tree with everyone, and even encourages ten bundles to let Zun take off the ornaments hanging on her body , causing Shi Shu to be severely punched.But he was also very loyal, and he didn't confess Ryoko as the mastermind behind the scenes at all, he just fooled around happily.

I have to say that HOMRA is indeed a very loving place.Especially after getting acquainted with everyone, Ryoko fully understands the nature of some people - such as Misaki Hatta, who is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, but innocent, such as Izumo Kusanagi, who looks cynical but regards all HOMRA members as his family, or from a From the very beginning, Toksuta Tara was honest and unsuspecting towards Ryoko.

Even Zhou Fangzun, who always looks awe-inspiring as the boss, is actually a very gentle person.

On the day of Qixi Festival, the atmosphere reached a climax.A group of people were there playing with the wishing tree.What ten bunches got was a big tree that was much taller than others. At that time, everyone was shocked when Kamamoto came in.

"A little higher! A little higher, put it on the top." Hatta wandered around the tree with a red love heart in his hand, while Ryoko pointed out to him, watching him trying to stand on tiptoes but couldn't reach the top of the tree , finally couldn't help laughing, "Yatian-kun, you are not tall enough, hurry up and change!"

Realizing that he was being tricked, Hatta frowned, jumped up and threw a heart to her: "I'm not tall enough for you?!"

Taking the heart without any hesitation, Ryoko said: "You look good." Then the whole person jumped up!

All of a sudden, she jumped higher than the tree, and immediately hung the heart on it. After landing again, Liangzi looked at Hatta proudly: "Look, isn't it just hung up?"

Hatta couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and then refused to admit defeat and cocked his neck: "I can hang up like you!"

"But did you hang up? Mr. Hachita, who couldn't think of such a way?" Ryoko activated his mouth-cheek skill, and the battleship Misaki Misaki Misaki was sunk immediately.

When Hatta finally got up tremblingly from the ground and was about to fight again, Anna pulled his clothes: "Red."

"what?"

"It's red, it's very beautiful." Anna pointed to the heart hanging on the tree by Ryoko, and said seriously.

Hearing this, Shishu squatted down with a smile on his side: "It's beautiful, isn't it? It was made by Hatta. Hang that on the tree, and it is said that other wishes that hang on the tree will come true. Do you want to try Anna-chan? ?”

Hearing this, Anna nodded immediately, then ran to the side to find out the ten bundles of red cardboard that were given to her a few days ago, and began to write carefully stroke by stroke.

"Everyone hang up your wishes!" Then, Ten Beams began to greet, collecting everyone's cards one by one, and helping to hang them up while looking at them.

"Hey~ I hope to grow taller. Hatta's wish is really realistic~ Can't you be more specific? For example, grow to 170 or something." Ten Shu said exaggeratedly, and Hatta shouted "Tu Shu, don't read." Come out!" Then desperately wanted to get back his jammed paper.

Ten beams lifted the card and hung it out of Hatta's reach while smiling and said, "Well, don't worry about it so much." Then he took the card that Anna had written.

Ryoko also leaned over, wanting to know what wishes this doll-like girl would have.On the cardboard, it was written in Anna's crooked font: I hope to see beautiful red in the next year.

Strange wish.

Ryoko subconsciously turned her head to look at Anna. The girl remained expressionless like a doll, but she could see her expectation for this wish from her eyes.

"What is Ryoko's wish? Show me." A head leaned in front of her, Shi Shu's face was magnified in front of Ryoko, and the smile on her face dazzled her.Silently glanced at the green cardboard in her hand, Ryoko handed it over.

constant.

There were only two simple words on the cardboard, causing Shishu to tilt his head and look at her with some doubts, as if hoping to hear an explanation from her.

But Ryoko has no intention of explaining.In order to divert Ten Beam's attention as soon as possible and at the same time satisfy her own evil taste, she smiled and pulled Ten Beam over: "Shi Beam, have you written Mr. Zun's wish?"

Seeming to read something from her tone, Shishu also showed a bright smile: "No...the king wouldn't write such a thing, right?"

"Do you want to see it?"

"Of course."

Agreement reached.

Kusanagi looked at these two troublesome brats with some headaches, and could only casually say: "Don't play too much." Then he went back to wipe his wine glass.Since Ryoko came to the red group, there have been only two people in the red group who dared to tease Zun, and the combination of Ryoko and Shishu has significantly improved their combat effectiveness to MAX, and the two of them obviously enjoy watching Zun's expression changes.

But that's also a good thing.

Since Ryoko came to HOMRA, Zun seems to have changed a little bit.The former guy could only use violence to deal with everything, even if there were ten beams pressing him down, Kusanagi would always worry about whether something would happen to Zun somewhere again.But since Ryoko appeared, he has changed a little.Those changes are so subtle that others may not be able to see them, but Kusanagi, who has known Takashi since high school, can clearly see them.

If this girl can really change Zun...

On the other side, after Liangzi and Shishu muttered for a long time, Shishu went upstairs first.Ryoko walked up to Anna who usually avoided her, and said with a smile, "Anna, do you want to know Mr. Zun's wish?"

Anna blinked and nodded slowly and little by little.

"Wait ten beams will call Mr. Zun down, you remember to look at him with very expectant eyes... no, not this kind of eyes, it's the one when you looked at your own wish just now... yes, that's it This kind of look." Ryoko taught Anna, "You just need to remember to stare at him with this kind of look... the rest will be solved by me and Shishu."

Seeing Anna's obedient nod, Ryoko made an OK gesture: "Very good...that's all."

There were already footsteps coming from the stairway, and the voice of Ten Beams also came over: "So... everyone is very~ looking forward to Wang joining our activities. Isn't it too lonely if Wang doesn't come alone? And today The wish I made will definitely come true, Zhinu is very clever!"

"Isn't the Weaving Girl kind of deceiving children?" Zun's voice sounded a little muffled, "And you can just play around, why drag me in too."

"How can you say that!" Ten Shu looked filled with righteous indignation, "You are our king! It's rare for everyone to hold an event, how could you not participate?! Even Anna sauce and Ryoko are very involved!"

Why does my name appear there specially...

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, Ryoko decided not to care about such strange things.He winked at Anna, and saw that she looked at Zun with that [I'm looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to it] according to his request.Ryoko cleared her throat and was about to say something—

"boom--!!"

There was an earth-shattering noise outside the door!

It seemed that the whole earth was shaking, and Ryoko, who barely kept her balance, quickly grabbed Anna who was about to fall, and heard Hatta shouting, "What happened?!"

Someone rushed in and shouted loudly: "Mr. Zun! Suzuki! That guy Suzuki brought a group of people over! They seem to have some incredible weapons. What should we do?!"

Zun squinted his eyes, and before he could say anything, Ryoko on the side jumped up and swears completely: "Ci'ao—what idiot who doesn't have eyesight dares to interrupt our hard-working preparation for so long?! Destroy them!"
