[Comprehensive] warm things

"We're back!" Ruixi held the organ in one hand and pushed open the door of the shrine with the other. After shouting this sentence full of energy, there was no response for a long time. Ruixi rolled her eyes and ran directly to the kitchen.

Sure enough, Akashi Seijuro was found in the kitchen. He was holding the handle of the pot in one hand and the spatula in the other. There seemed to be something frying in the pot, and there were bursts of white smoke and aroma. He heard a voice behind him. , Akashi Seijuro turned his head casually, his eyes paused on the organ that Mizuki was holding, and then saw Natori Wangkai walking slowly, and said softly: "Well, I know you are back."

"Eh?" Akashi Seijuro's cold reaction made Mizuki a little disappointed, he tilted his head and asked, "Then why didn't you answer 'Welcome back'?"

Ruixi's words stunned Akashi Seijuro. It seems that he hasn't said the word "welcome back" for a long time. After his mother passed away, his father has been traveling all year round. 'you are back'.

"Well, I don't like fried eggs!" Natori Wanghai's dissatisfied voice brought Akashi Seijuro back to his senses, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly, "You can cook what you like later."

"Don't be so indifferent, you've already decided to make breakfast for us, so let's take care of it," Natori Wanghai rolled his eyes, and then opened the refrigerator. Because it was a temporary stay, there were not so many ingredients in the refrigerator, and most of them were from the driver's island Mr. Ben prepared it. She reached out and took out the octopus sausage from the refrigerator, shook it at Akashi Seijuro and said, "I want to eat this, Akashi-kun!"

Akashi Seijuro ignored her, and Natori Wangkai didn't care about his reaction, he put the octopus sausage next to the pot, stretched his waist and said, "It's really a blessing to be able to eat when I go home."

"Your happiness is really simple." Akashi Seijuro glanced at Natori Wanghai, although she was smiling as usual, but there was an unspeakable tiredness between her brows, he asked in a low voice, "Is the matter resolved?"

"Well, we can go back to Tokyo today. I'll give Lan a call later." Natori Wanghai nodded, and she had to contact Brother Zhou to tell him the details.

"Okay, I'll contact Mr. Shimamoto later, you go to the restaurant first." Akashi Seijuro tore open the package of octopus sausage while talking, seeing his movements, Natori Wanghai's smile deepened and said: "Mizuki, let's go to the restaurant Wait, then."

Harmony, who was carried by Ruixi and walked towards the restaurant, couldn't help but look back at the kitchen. Akashi Seijuro was looking down at the food in the pot. Although it was his first time cooking, his movements and demeanor were all calm , the organ stared intently at the back of Akashi Seijuro, the morning light fell on his white shirt with a thin halo, his hair was as coquettish and beautiful as a blooming red rose, the handsome young man who was concentrating on preparing breakfast gave people a A faint warmth.

"Milk?" Ruixi's doubtful voice made the organ turn her head to look at the table. There were three cups of pure white milk on the table. She was stunned for a moment, and saw Natori Wanghai's slender fingers holding one of the cups, and then curled the corners of her lips and said : "The temperature is just right, Akashi-kun is really considerate."

Organ stared blankly at the milk on the table, and the figure of Akashi Seijuro making breakfast appeared in front of her eyes. After she was put on the chair by Ruixi, she immediately reached out to hold the glass of milk. The warm but not hot milk let Organ Lowering her eyes, she suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, and heard Natori Wanghai gently ask: "Organ, if you don't have any plans, you can stay with me first, our family is just preparing for a family trip, you can go play with us. "

"Family trip..." Organ moved the corners of her mouth, and asked with some anticipation and anxiety, "Is it okay to take an outsider like me?"

"Don't worry, the family trip is just a way of saying, mainly I want everyone to be happy together," Natori Wanghai saw Akashi Seijuro coming over with breakfast, and said with a smile, "Akashi-kun, come and join me. family trip."

"I'm not going, the basketball club has training." Hearing Akashi Seijuro's answer, Natori Wanghai took a sip of milk, and said in a reassuring tone, "The summer vacation has just begun, and I will definitely not delay Akashi-kun's training," after finishing speaking , Natori Wanghai poked an octopus ball with a fork and said, "You tell Mr. Shimamoto later, we are going to Hakone Onsen, and I will inform Lan and Brother Zhou now."

Akashi Seijuro reached out and grabbed Natori Wanghai's wrist, preventing her from leaving. Natori Wanghai thought he didn't want to go to the hot spring, so he didn't let her inform Lan and Natori Monday. She felt a little disappointed just now, when she heard Akashi Seijuro warm and indifferent Voice: "Let's go after dinner."

"Oh." Natori Wangkai nodded, took a bite of the rice ball, then stared at Akashi Seijuro with eyes that were about to overflow with a smile, feeling her gaze, Akashi Seijuro just frowned and said nothing.

After breakfast, Natori Wanghai immediately ran to the living room, then sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and called Mikaze Lan, who picked up the call as soon as the call rang, and Natori Wanghai said with a trace of tenderness in his eyes: "Lan , I’m Wanghai, I’ve taken care of things here, remember the family trip I said, are you free recently?”

"Available." Meifenglan replied almost without any hesitation. For him, no matter what the activity was, it was not as important as being able to accompany the master.

Natori Wanghai smiled lightly. She knew that no matter what activities Meifenglan had now, she would definitely reject them and give priority to their family trip. She said, "That's the decision. I'll book the tickets later and give you the address." , I'll see you at the hot spring shop in Hakone."

"Okay." Meifenglan's voice was still so calm, without any ups and downs, Natori Wanghai gave him a few more words before hanging up the phone, and then dialed Natori Monday's cell phone.

"Hi, hello, I'm Natori Monday." The other party's warm and elegant voice was hoarse and sleepy, as if he was sleeping.

"Brother Zhou, it's me." As soon as Natori Wanghai finished speaking, he heard a crackling sound from the opposite side. It sounded like Natori turned over and fell off the bed on the ground.

"Wanghai, why did you call so early?" Natori returned to his usual high-spirited voice on Monday, and Natori Wanghai could imagine the large blooming roses blooming behind him.

"Well, there was an accident here, and it was dealt with overnight..." Before Natori Wanghai finished speaking, he heard Natori Monday's exclamation: "Wanghai, girls' beauty sleep is very important, next time..."

"Hehe." Natori Wanghai sneered, Natori Yiyi immediately silenced his voice, then cleared his throat, and asked solemnly, "What accident happened?"

Natori Wangkai basically told Natori Monday what happened to Shiraishi's house, but concealed that the monster in Gray Division's body was once the same as the monster in Akashi Seijuro's shadow, and also explained the purpose of the organ attacking Gray Division I want to get rid of monsters.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have made Hiiragi stay by your side. She will come back after the incident is resolved, and she can help you a little." Natori Monday sighed with regret, not knowing that Natori Wanghai found out that Huiji was related to Akashi Seijuro , decided to let Hiiragi return to him so that she could act more freely.

"You didn't eliminate Huisi back then, because you felt that he had a deep bond with the Shiraishi family." Natori Wanghai paused, and asked softly, "Why don't you ask Grandpa Shiraishi what is the bond with him?" ?”

"Well, I didn't ask, because the commission is for me to destroy it."

Natori Monday's answer made Natori Wanghai silent for a while. Although these words sounded indifferent, there was nothing wrong with it, and from a certain convenience point of view, Natori Monday had shown mercy. He just sealed it and did not really destroy it.

If Grandpa Shiraishi had entrusted him with another famous family of exterminating demons, it is estimated that after Mitsuyo had given everything, the end would have been wiped out in ashes.

"Wanghai, I..." Natori seemed to want to explain something on Monday, but was interrupted by Natori Wanghai's casual voice, "We are going to Hakone for a few days to soak in the hot springs, and I will send you the time and address later, come when you are free Bar."

"Okay, I haven't seen Sister Wanghai for a long time, but I really can't ignore the beauty sleep next time..." Seeing that Natori returned to his usual nagging appearance on Monday, Natori Wanghai hung up the phone directly.

Shiraishi Yukari looked at the shrine in front of her and took a deep breath, then turned her head and said to her sister, "Sister, you wait for me here, I'll go see Natori sister."

"Well, I'll wait for you here." Sister Baishi glanced at the president's long ladder, frowned and said, "It really doesn't matter if you are alone, you must call me if anything happens."

"Yeah." Shiraishi Youxiangli hugged the photo album in her hand, secretly rejoicing in her heart, fortunately she mentioned the phone, otherwise that Natori sister might have left the capital.

After finally walking all the steps of the shrine, Shiraishi Yukari wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and then noticed that Natori Wanghai was sitting on the stone steps leading to the shrine hall, looking at her with his chin, and said with a smile, "Are you tired? This is for you." Yukari Shiraishi subconsciously caught what Natori Wanghai threw.

The cold feeling spread to the whole body through the palm of the hand. Shiraishi Youxiangli saw that she threw a can of iced [Raspberry Pomegranate] soda. She looked around and found that in the small courtyard not far away, the man who had chased 'kill' The little girl who had passed her and Gray was playing chess with a red-haired boy.

"Is there anything you can do with me?" Natori Wanghai's question made Shiraishi Youkari look back, she nodded slightly, then sat next to Natori Wanghai, handed the album to Natori Wanghai, touched her nose and said: "I want to show my sister this photo album."

Natori Wanghai opened the photo album with a smile, and the purpose of entering was all kinds of dreamy scenery that only existed in fairy tales, and then she heard Shiraishi Yukari whisper: "It's the photo album that I found when I sorted out my grandmother's belongings, and this..." She stretched out her hand Turn the photo album to the last page, which contains a black and white photo.

In the photo, a beige girl in a wheelchair is wearing a kimono, dotted with cherry blossoms. Behind her stands a young man who looks exactly like Gray, but he does not have the vicissitudes and calmness of Gray, and his smile is shy. Shy, like a gentle and friendly brother next door.

"This group photo was found behind the wedding photo of my grandmother and grandfather, and it seems to be the only photo of my grandmother and Mitsuyo together," said Shiraishi Yukari, pointing to Mitsuyo in the photo, "Although they look the same as Huisi, they look completely different Yes, but once Gray Si smiles, it is very similar to the photo."

"My father disapproved of the gray matter staying by my side, but it was considered acquiescing. My mother was very angry and worried. She said that I was still a child and didn't think about it at all. My mother said a lot of cruel things," Baishi Youxiangli picked up the photo, smiled and sighed softly, "I can't deny my mother's words, because it makes sense, sister..."

Shiraishi Youxiangli's voice paused slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and finally said in a serious tone: "I am not interested in gray or sympathetic, but I really hope that he can be by my side. For my family, I am Just a kid, not capable enough, but, I feel like I should take responsibility for the decisions I make."

Natori Wanghai reached out to touch Shiraishi Yukari's head, but in the end her hand fell on Shiraishi Yukari's shoulder and said, "Well, every child has their own world, and children will be infinite in their own world." The impossible warrior, as we grow up, we may give up our own small world to learn the survival needed to grow up."

"But it doesn't matter, Yukari," Natori Wanghai pointed at Mitsuyo in the photo, and said with a gentle smile, "You are no longer alone in your little world."

"Hmm..." Shiraishi Youxiang's nose was slightly sore, she put her head lightly on Natori Wangkai's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, why do you think Mitsuyo wants grandma to forget him?"

"Because for Guangdai, she can be happy only if she forgets him."

"Is this really the case? This is just what Mitsuyo thinks." Shiraishi Yukari looked down at the group photo in his hand, and murmured, "So what about Mitsuyo's happiness?"

"You have to ask Mitsuyo, because everyone's understanding of happiness is different." Natori Wanghai returned the photo album to Shiraishi Yukari, and then put Natori Monday's business card on the photo album, "Huiji wants to live in the human world , you need to adapt to the current life, if you contact Brother Zhou, you can let Hui Si become his subordinate to work."

"Thank you." Shiraishi Yukari bowed deeply to Natori Wanghai, and then said with serious eyes, "Sister, actually, I have been thinking about why some people can see monsters and some people can't, but monsters can. Do you see humans?"

"Huh?" Natori Wangkai tilted his head slightly, waiting for Shiraishi Yukari to continue, the girl obviously thought of a satisfactory answer.

"It must be because only human beings don't hesitate to hurt others for their own sake."

Shiraishi Yukari said in a low voice, then bowed to Natori Wanghai again to express his gratitude, and left without looking back.

Natori Wanghai leaned against the vermilion pillar of the shrine, half-closed her eyes and looked at the direction Shiraishi Yukari left. When she heard footsteps approaching her, she smiled slightly and looked in the direction of the sound: "You two finished playing chess?"

"Well, the organ has been practicing for several years, so it should be a good opponent." Akashi Seijuro replied quietly, then glanced at the organ that was still staring at the chessboard, turned to look at Natori Wanghai and said: "Go into the room and rest .”

She looked more tired than when she came back in the morning.

"Yeah." Natori Wanghai nodded slightly, watching the wind blow away a cloud, she gently closed her eyes.

The story of Ryoka and Mitsuyo is definitely not the only one covered and swallowed up by fleeting years.

happy, sad, hopeless, miraculous,

Many stories are about to happen or be forgotten, in this fleeting time...
