[Bungo Stray Dogs] Animal Three Musketeers

1. Peace and Trials

Natsume is a family of three, and the house they live in is the address of Hatawara, which was burned down more than ten years ago.

The head of the family is Natsume Soseki and his wife Natsume Mizusui. The two have only one daughter, Natsume Zaizai, for the time being.

Natsume Zazai's unrestrained character often makes Natsume Soseki laugh dumbfounded. He pointed at the mischievous Natsume Zazai who had just passed his sixth birthday, and joked to his wife: "It's my own, combining my appearance and In your heart, you are a little worried about whether she will walk sideways in Yokohama in the future, and you will feel uncomfortable."

"Don't make trouble, another turtle can't walk sideways." Natsume Shuishui held back a smile, raised her eyes to look at Zai Zai who was playing in the yard, feeling a little helpless, "Put your face on Zai Zai's face." Can I still watch it online? And I have never messed around like this before, and I have never overdone things, so I still have some principles.”

"Hmm... I just don't know who specially instigated Alice to hide a few years ago in order to annoy Mori Ogai."

"It was just a prank—"

"Three years ago, I added countless spices that should not be put together in my breakfast."

"It's a kitchen experiment, but you should reflect on why you didn't go home that month."

"Two years ago, in order to amuse you again, she slipped away to the Secret Service to make trouble with her animalized?"

"It's a thrilling adventure, and it's exciting to be in a place like this for a birthday chase, isn't it?"

Natsume Soseki was stunned for a while, as if he had lost to you, "You don't have such a thing as courage?"

Natsume Mizusui laughed as soon as she heard it, and scratched Natsume Soseki's face with five fingers resting her head on her thigh, basking comfortably in the sun, causing Natsume Soseki to gasp very lightly, but Natsume Mizusui was not at all Concerned about hurting the other party, he said leisurely: "Compared to you, you are still a bit worse. Although you have the strength to walk in Yokohama without being discovered, when dealing with these headaches, please also send a message to your family. Peace Letter."

"Don't look at the heartless appearance of our mother and daughter."

Natsume Mizusui let go of the hand pinching his face, staring at Natsume Zazai who was entertaining himself in the yard, his face that was always smiling to himself showed a rare fragility.

"You have your troubles, I don't ask you to take care of us in those major events affecting Yokohama, but please don't make us worry."

Seeing his wife's desperate expression, Natsume Soseki looked astonished, and then buried his head in Natsume Mizusui's arms, with an indescribable tone of joy and shame, jokingly said: "Why don't you follow the next time?" Me? Can I bring it with me when I meet Fukuzawa or Mori once in a while?"

...doesn't sound like a joke?

Natsume Shuishui was dumbfounded, "You are so quick...you want to pave the way for Zazai's future life in Yokohama? If Dr. Mori and Fukuzawa know Zazai's appearance and name, who in Yokohama will dare to mess with her? She will change. Become an arrogant Great Demon King?"

Natsume Soseki: "...you are right."

"Give them two a trial."

2. Cherry Blossoms and Movies

When it was almost time for lunch, Natsume Soseki suddenly asked if he wanted to see the cherry blossoms.

The grilled fish was sizzling and frying in the oil, and the aroma exuded attracted Natsume who was playing outside the room.While Natsume Shuishui helplessly persuaded the child to stay away, she was absorbed in thinking about her husband's proposal.

Cherry blossoms...

When she was young, she also had a little love for cherry blossoms. Perhaps it should be said that she was envious of those pure loves.

But it's just thinking about it. During that time, Natsume Mizusui, who was on the verge of starvation all year round, had no leisure time to develop a relationship.

Even though she stubbornly believes that it is not a good thing to fall in love prematurely, it is a very happy thing to like someone in her short youth.

Thinking like this, Natsume Mizusui's eyes moved to Natsume Soseki.

At home, Natsume Soseki is very relaxed, wearing loose clothes, sitting on the sofa lazily watching TV.

Occasionally, in the morning, I would even complain about not wanting to get up, and after forcing myself to wake up, I reluctantly gave the culprit a sad look and went to the bathroom to wash up.Complaining that the rain made his fur wet today, he huddled on the carpet at the door and waited tremblingly for her to take a towel to help him dry off the excess rainwater on his body, and asked why he didn't come in and call her directly, Natsume Soseki's answer made her dumbfounded A handful of cat heads.

"You wiped the floor so clean, my cat's paws are all dirty, didn't I come in to make you work harder?"

After finishing speaking, she muttered softly, "Zaizai likes to roll and crawl on the ground, what if the stain I brought in has bacteria and makes her sick?"

Not the gentleman who gave people a sense of danger at first sight, but an ordinary father and a husband who is no different from ordinary people.

Natsume Mizusui smiled silently with eyes closed, easily picked up the fried fish from the oil pan, put it safely on the three people's respective plates, and carefully carried it to each person's corresponding seat.

No matter how early he couldn't wait to climb onto the chair, Natsume Soseki slowly walked over, staring at her with specks of expectation.

Natsume Shuishui laughed, "Okay, let's go together later."

"..." Natsume Soseki was a little hesitant, considering the strangeness of the next question, he was quiet for a long time before opening his lips, "Do you want to go together again?"

Xia Mu Shuishui suddenly couldn't figure out what her husband was thinking, and asked in a daze, "Is it possible that I want to leave another person here?"

Natsume Soseki: ...

No dear, you don't know what day it is.

It's White Day——!

Natsume Shuishui seemed to realize something, blinked his eyes a few times, reached out and rubbed Zaizai's head, who had eaten too much to pay attention to his parents, and said with some accusations, "Even if it's Valentine's Day, you can't keep another child It's too dangerous to be at home."

Before Natsume Soseki changed into a somewhat depressed mood, Natsume Mizusui quickly decided where to go again for the next day.

"Entrust Zaizai to Fuze temporarily? He is trustworthy, what do you think?"

Natsume Soseki's drooping shoulders immediately recovered his former spirit, but in terms of entrusting his daughter to take care of him, he still couldn't help asking: "Will Fukuzawa throw her into the sea because of being too mischievous again?"

"At least it's more than a few times better than putting it on Dr. Mori's side. I really don't want Mori Ogai to call you dad and me mom one day."

Natsume Soseki shivered in horror.

He felt that if he saw Mori Ogai next time, his eyes would be a little subtle.

I hope it won't be seen by Mori Ogai that he is wary of some of his hobbies.You must know that no matter which father with a lovely daughter at home meets such a strange man, he would like to let this guy fly out of the solar system so far away from his daughter.

"as well as……"

Natsume Soseki raised his eyes from the meal, his vision was fully occupied by two movie tickets.

"It's premiere at the cinema." Natsume Mizushui shook the movie ticket twice, and smiled slightly, "Your novel movie, don't you want to watch it?"

3. Popcorn and the road

Natsume Mizusui had a great time watching this movie.

The casting is impeccable, and the acting is as strong as the novel can burst out of emotion.

Probably the only downside is that the Easter egg that everyone is looking forward to does not have the author of the novel?Before the movie was released, many people forwarded the rumor that the author of the novel would appear on the menu to all the children on the roadside. Those readers would probably be very disappointed?

The cherry blossoms in the nearby park were in full bloom, and the two chose a good place to enjoy the cherry blossoms and sat down.

It was afternoon at this time, and the spring sun was mild but not hot. With the gentle breeze blowing on the face, Natsume Mizusui, who was leaning against Natsume Soseki on the park chair, felt a little sleepy.

Natsume Mizuki lowered his head slightly, and after groping for a while, lightly held Natsume Soseki's hand.

Natsume Soseki looked away from the beautiful scenery of colorful falling flowers in front of him, quietly took off his wife's left hand, and then quickly turned his backhand as if afraid of being discovered, interlocking his fingers.

The blond hair was shining brightly under the light. Natsume Soseki still remembered that when he first lived together, he said that his hair didn't need softener to brighten it. He was stared at by Natsume Mizusui and almost kicked out of the bathroom .

As for the three meals that day, it was a nightmare.

Natsume Soseki skillfully tidied up his wife's slightly messy hair due to leaning over and rubbing it with another hand. The temperature in spring was slightly cold, but the warmth generated by the palms and leaning on each other surrounded him. All the perceptions of the word cold seemed to be in the Far away from him, he is now full of joy, and every bit of it is full of people in front of him.

When Natsume Mizusui woke up, she found that she was lying on Natsume Soseki's back like a child.

The opponent walked very steadily, even if it was a bumpy gravel road, he could walk without any sense of bumps.

Reassuring as always.

The night was dotted with stars, and the silver-white moonlight was dimmed against the street lights. Natsume Mizusui couldn't help sighing, and stretched out his arms around Natsume Soseki's neck, leaning his cheek on his back and half-closed his eyes.

"Soseki, what time is it?"

"It happened to be past eight o'clock."

Natsume Shuishui obediently responded, and smiled and said, "Happy Valentine's Day."

The laughter coming from behind was restrained, and Natsume Soseki sighed deeply and asked, "So? So you know that today is Valentine's Day?"

"Do you want cookies?" Natsume Mizusui stared at his side face, with a smile in his eyes, "Eating cookies so late, be careful of getting fat? You are almost entering middle age, shouldn't you Health care?"

Natsume Soseki coughed lightly, trying to cover up the show he had just revealed, and replied solemnly, "I won't eat all of them like last time."

"Honey, that's what you told me last time."

Natsume Mizusui didn't intend to give Natsume Soseki too many sweets to taste, and it was at night, so night desserts should be avoided for her and her husband.

"But it's cruel to just give you a taste, why don't you turn around?"

Natsume Soseki, who had been staring at the ground to prevent falling, turned his face sideways in perplexity, and the corner of his mouth moved with it, but it happened to touch a piece of milk-flavored biscuit.

Natsume Soseki's gaze followed the cookie to her lips, and after only a pause, he continued to move upwards in slow motion, and didn't stop hastily until he looked directly into the other's eyes.

The doubts in those eyes seem to be asking why you don't eat?

Natsume Soseki calmed down the joy in his heart, opened his mouth to bite the cookie, and under Natsume Mizusui's expectant eyes, slowly said: "It's better than last year's."

"You say that every year." Natsume Shuishui mercilessly dismantled the stage, but with a smile on his face, "But every time you can make me laugh..."

The words uttered stopped suddenly, Natsume Mizusui's pupils shrank slightly.

The skin on the lips that touched became hot with time, and in a trance, Natsume Mizusui vaguely heard Natsume Soseki's reply intermittently with a smile.

"Happy Valentine's Day--"
