[Bungo Stray Dogs] Bless the world

"Ah, have you seen this already?"

It was too late to even close the book, the female voice from behind was too sudden, Akutagawa, who was too relaxed in such a comfortable environment, could only hold the book to his chest subconsciously, "I didn't hide under the covers at night look……"

In the slums, there is no way to read as much as this, and the Yoshida family’s villa in Yokohama—the place where they live now, has endless books—once they relax about the surrounding environment and realize that this After everything was real, and no one would suddenly rush out to take this shelter away, Akutagawa was in a relaxed state. The most obvious manifestation was that he started to stay up late and read books.

Of course, after this behavior was severely educated by Yayoi... it didn't improve much.

Akutagawa's talent in choosing words and making sentences amazes Yayoi, to be precise - he is really a child who can learn and use them flexibly.

For example, at a young age, calling himself "I, my subordinate" is really a different kind of old-fashioned taste. Of course, in Yayoi's eyes, this kind of behavior has his own cuteness, and he thinks it is good. There is no need to correct it, after all, his bigger problems are picky eaters and staying up late than what he claims to be.

Since Yayoi cooked broad beans for dinner last time, the young man ate up his share in line with the good habit of never wasting food in the slums, and then he didn't say a word to Yayoi for three days. talk.

Citrus would cough after eating, so Yayoi was strictly forbidden to touch it. After letting go of his guard, Akutagawa's extremely awkward character was fully revealed in front of Yayoi. After finishing the decent homework, he happily ran over with his homework and patted Yayoi's head for praise.

However, I don’t know if it’s because of being the oldest among the children, even if they finish their studies the best and read and understand the fastest——Akutagawa seldom puts homework directly in front of Yayoi like other children.

He has the petty eyes of a child of this age.

Yayoi can always "accidentally" see the transcriptions of his well-written poetry collections, fragment excerpts, and some compositions-if they are discovered, they still look like "I didn't show you".

Well, Yayoi understood, she just "coincidentally" saw it.

If in the past, Yayoi would feel a headache for him because of his stubborn temper, then now she can only wonder why this child is so cute.

Ah, why is it so cute.Thinking about it makes me laugh.

If it was said that Akutagawa was the child who caused her the most headaches in the past, now he is probably almost becoming her favorite child.

Of course, no matter how much Yayoi likes this child, he also has a "reward" that he must never give—or in other words, all boys have no chance to get this opportunity that children call "reward".

Girls could sleep with Yayoi for a week if they asked.

That's why Sunako can often make faces at Akutagawa: Gin and I can sleep with my sister, but you can't.

Of course, at this time, the flamboyant girl (typically Sunako) will always receive a fierce look from Akutagawa.

If you want to talk about it, this time should be the best - the part that hopes to stay forever.

When Yayoi received the letter from his father, it happened to be the season when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. The Yoshida family planned to bring their business to the port city of Yokohama and further expand their overseas business, so they wanted to hold a dance party in Yokohama. Some business partners——at this time, as the only child of the Yoshida family, Yayoi must be present.

But beyond expectations, Mr. Yoshida also allowed Yayoi to bring one of her adopted children along.

Just can only take one.

Yoshida-san... what are you thinking?Yayoi couldn't help rubbing his temples, but when he looked up, he found Akutagawa was looking at her, so she smiled back, and the boy suddenly turned his head away.

"There is a ball, I can take someone there, does any of you want to go?" Yayoi asked dumbfounded.

The children looked at each other, "Prom?" Sunako suddenly stood up with bright eyes, "Is, is it the kind of prom mentioned in the fairy tale book?"

"It's not that exaggerated." Yayoi smiled helplessly.

The children discussed with each other in low voices, "I really want to go." "There must be a lot of delicious food—" "Will there be adults in beautiful clothes?" "Can you wear beautiful clothes?"

Only the older Akutagawa seemed to have no interest in this kind of thing, coughed dryly, and quietly finished his portion of dinner.Then he played with the spoon in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

"Since everyone wants to go." He finally raised his hand, "How about drawing lots? This is the fairest."

Yayoi glanced at him approvingly, this opinion is indeed the most pertinent at the moment, "Then, those who are at home, go to bed on time." She nodded with a smile, agreed with the boy's opinion, and quickly made a stack The paper was drawn out, and the children looked at the pile of lottery wringing their faces in distress. Several little hands stretched out at the same time, and each grabbed one. The one left.

The children who grabbed the paper lottery first couldn't wait to open it, and then the disappointed voices of "Ah~" sounded one after another, and Akutagawa, who finally got the lottery, sighed and opened the paper ball in his hand-"Daji" ——It says so on the note.

This is purely a matter of luck, and the children can't say anything, they can only puff their cheeks and envy his good luck. The boy folded the note in his hand, and turned his head to see his sister with a shiny... She looked at herself with eyes like a cute little animal.

——As a good brother, should you give the note to your sister?

——As a good older brother who loves his younger sister, should he give the note to the younger sister who wants to go to the prom with the older sister he likes...

——As an older brother who has been taking care of his younger sister...

Akutagawa turned his head mercilessly, pretending not to see it, and stuffed the note into his pocket.

Yin covered his face and squatted aside, with a small expression of "brother bullying me".

Looking at the two siblings, Yayoi suddenly felt... more powerless.

But... it's spring too, and it's time to buy some new clothes for the children.

Also... let's buy a small suit for Akutagawa-kun. He is thin and looks much shorter than children of the same age. What kind of clothes will look better...

His face is very good-looking and well-groomed. After recuperating for a period of time, he has an aura like that of a retro nobleman. This kind of aura is almost brought out by nature, which is very rare.

——In contrast, it is more difficult to choose clothes that line your temperament.

Anyway, it's still early for the dance, let's take him to a clothing store to order a suit.

Yayoi happily made a unilateral decision.

——Perhaps she didn't even realize that in terms of doting on Akutagawa, she has almost surpassed the standard of an ordinary guardian and has been upgraded to a silly mother.
