Dr. Oki greeted the newcomers and parents returning from his trip with a smile, not minding that his institute had become a meeting place for a group of idlers and others - or rather, he was quite fond of being lively, and used to invite the children from the town to the backyard for dinner.

"Xiao Mao, they have come back a few days ago, and I went to make a call to inform them to come together. The old man looked at his crumpled white coat, smiled and shook his phone, and secretly decided that he had to change this dress before Xiao Mao returned, so as not to suffer further damage to the roots of his ears.

"Excuse me. ”

Xiao Ye nodded to Dr. Oki and watched him return to the back room, then reluctantly looked back at the other side of the mess.

Xiaotian's mother, Yuka Lihua, is a well-known actor. When she was a girl, she entered the public eye because she played the heroine of the critically acclaimed youth campus drama "Scarlet Sky" Fujiwara, and she is still active on the big screen until now.

Xiao Ye, an ancient person who hadn't watched TV for eight hundred years, didn't know anything about it, but Xiao Jie and Xiao Ling obviously knew her. Xiao Ling even happily asked for an autograph, and immediately said that she would treat it as an heirloom, which made Xiao Tian on the side want to cover her face a little.

"I didn't expect Xiaotian that your mother was actually Miss Yuxiang, and I die now without regrets. The blonde girl was holding a notebook with a signature on it, and small flowers were bubbling out all over her body. Yuka, who thought she had succeeded in making a good impression on her son's friend, was also covered in small flowers, and immediately filled in the background of half of the room in pink.

The wife of the first-level investigator Kamiwa Xinghai is the well-known actor Yuka Lihua, and if such news spreads, it will definitely make many people's jaws drop. Thinking of this, Xiao Ling grinned, and was finally willing to change the subject, "Then again, Xiao Ye, what kind of people are your parents?"

When she asked this, Xiao Ling didn't notice the subtle change in the silver-haired boy's expression, and Xiao Ye didn't either. In fact, Xiao Ye still half of his mind was stuck on "I don't know if Dr. Oki will have time to complete the light-speed costume change to get rid of the sloppy old man image before Xiao Mao comes", and when he heard this, he replied casually, "Well, I don't know either." ”

This question had been written down in a notepad by her very perfunctory, although she didn't think she would bump into anything at all, thinking that she had crossed into an orphan, but it was actually a cliché setting like a lost child in a large family.

“…… Huh?"

When the golden retriever siblings and even Xinghai showed blank expressions, Xiao Ye realized that his inappropriate way of answering caused the air to suddenly be quiet, and quickly added, "I mean ......"

Before he could say a few words, Xiao Tian suddenly stood up, causing the puzzled eyes of all to shift to him. The young man walked quickly to the door and gently pulled the door—

Someone who was about to pounce on the door suddenly fell to the ground on the hard floor of the research institute.

"Pain, pain, pain...... Why did you open the door suddenly, Xiao Tian......" The black-haired boy grinned and grinned.

"You're going to break the door. Xiaotian calmly shook the door twice, and the door shaft immediately squeaked and echoed to express his vulnerability, and there were still a little scorched black marks on the surface, presumably by which disobedient Pokémon exploded into this virtue.

"Hahahaha, what the hell are you doing?"

"It's stupid. ”

Two young men, a man and a woman, followed into the research institute, and the girl's brisk laughter immediately filled the not very spacious space of the living room.

"Long time no see, Xiaotian, and Xiaoye!"

Sayo smiled and waved at the visitor. Ash, Cloud, and Mao, the five rookie trainers who set off in the 1000th year of Shinshin Town have finally gathered.

"Long time no see. You're coming so fast. ”

"After all, everyone's home is very close to the research institute. ”

The three newcomers pushed and shoved into the couch, and Dr. Oki came out of the back room - he was not wearing a white lab coat, but unfortunately the buttons of his shirt were wrongly buttoned, and he looked like he had changed it in a hurry.

Such gatherings are no stranger to adults or minors in True New Town. Although Xiaojie and Xiaoling didn't know anyone else, the two golden retrievers were the best at getting acquainted with people, and after introducing themselves, they joined the conversation with ease.

With the help of the golden retriever brothers and sisters, the noisy level of the entire room suddenly tripled, and they almost went to drink together in the evening. Xiao Ye looked at Xinghai and Yuka's squinting eyes and smiled, and then looked at the string of ellipses above Xiao Tian's head, and made a summary calmly: Fortunately, Xiao Mao did not turn on the-for-tat mode with Xiao Zhi, otherwise this room would have killed three Pichu.

After a short lunchtime meeting, the group decided to have dinner together in the backyard of Dr. Ohki's research institute for the first time in a long time. The Golden Retriever siblings, who are not technically residents of New Town, were also warmly invited - of course, with the personalities of these two, they would join in the fun on their own even if no one invited them.

Before dinner time came, of course, everyone could no longer crowd into the research institute to block Dr. Ohki, and they went back to their respective homes. According to Xiaojie and Xiaoling, the house where their father lived in Zhenxin Town when he was a child is still there, and it is completely possible to live in it again if it is cleaned.

So......

Xiao Ye turned around for the third time, looking at the two golden retrievers who were grinning behind him with a question mark on his face. At first, it may have been a drop-off, but now it's so remote that even the cutty dog doesn't want to pay attention to it...... Their father didn't live in the outskirts of a town as delicate as his own, did he?

Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Tian seemed to have whispered a few words to the two of them when chatting just now. Little Heaven...... Shouldn't it be a character who will come up with some kind of ideas?

Before Xiao Ye couldn't help but want to ask something, Xiao Ling spoke solemnly.

"Xiaoye, you want to. Your house has been gray for half a year, and our house has been gray for more than ten years, and we have to clean it anyway, wouldn't it be better to gather the strength of the three of us to clean only one room?"

"And I don't really want to see what the dust looks like for more than ten years, it must be more terrible than the appearance of that Dr. Apelokanti. Xiaojie also took the stubble in a positive way.

Xiaoye: "...... You actually remember his name???" (dumbfounded)

Xiaoling: "Isn't it Ticonroe Ape???" (dumbfounded)

Xiaojie: "...... Enough, that's not the point!And what is Ticonroe Abbey, are you selling cute!?"

After twisting the topic back with difficulty, Xiao Ye finally understood what Xiao Jie and Xiao Ling meant—to put it bluntly, they were too lazy to clean up their own house that had accumulated ashes for more than ten years.

Xiao Ye nodded, indicating that she understood very much, after all, she didn't really want to look directly at the house that had been shelved for half a year. It may be a good idea to concentrate your sweeping efforts, but ......

"Well, although it is good to save the effort of cleaning, my house may be a little ...... Narrow?" Xiao Ye tried to describe what she meant, but after struggling for a long time, she only found a word that she couldn't hit.

"Eh, didn't Xiaoyun just say that your house is very spacious? Xiaojie blinked suspiciously.

Xiao Yun tried to recall, but found that he could only think of a buzzing noise, so he had to give up, "It's not the narrow one with a small area. Not...... Just take a look at it. ”

Leading the two golden retrievers all the way to the suburbs, when Xiao Ye pushed the door open, Xiao Jie and Xiao Ling both understood the meaning of "narrow" in a dumbfounded manner.

If only the area that can be used by people is calculated...... It's really narrow.

There was almost nothing in the huge living room, except for a small wooden table and two chairs in the corner, which was almost uncomfortably empty. The walls were also excessively white, without the slightest decoration, and the concrete floor became desolate.

"The second floor was empty except for my bedroom, which had a bed. Xiao Ye spread her hands helplessly, "You understand. ”

Although the size of the room is not small, the interior furniture is extremely lacking, and Xiao Ye has not added any furniture after waking up to take over the house - after all, she is the only occupant and does not need or can afford to buy more furniture.

“…… It was so spectacular that I felt like I had to take a picture. Xiao Ling's tone was so breathtaking that it seemed like she had visited some scenic spot, "But it looks like it's very clean." ”

Or maybe there's no better room in the world to clean.

"That's right, I think we'll be able to finish it in two hours. Xiaojie nodded in agreement.

"Uh, so ......"

"No problem, although we don't have a bed, do we have sleeping bags?~" Xiao Ling interrupted Xiao Ye's words with a grin, pointing to the empty and flat living room that was perfect for camping.

Sayo: "......"

Well, you guys won.

The other party has talked about this, and Xiao Ye naturally has no way to refuse - although he still thinks it is very rude to let the guests sleep in the living room in a sleeping bag. Is it really that much that hated cleaning?

Faced with Xiao Ye's question, the golden retriever brothers and sisters nodded together with bitter expressions.

"My grandfather usually inspects our housekeeping very strictly, and even a little dust on the ground can't do it, and he has trained him to make a psychological shadow. We were also told that there should be no garbage in the trash cans and no things on the table...... What the hell are the trash cans and tables for? The blonde girl's ponytails drooped.

When Xiao Ye heard this, she suddenly laughed. Xiaojie and Xiaoling's grandfather, Xia Yang Yuanzheng, is a soldier after all, and has been a soldier for most of his life, so it is natural that he has formed a reflexive strictness in internal affairs.

"Did you also tell you that you can't hang clothes on hangers and can't lie on beds?" said Saya with a smile.

"Oh, yes, how do you know?"

“…… I'm just saying it casually. Is that really the case?"

"Of course it's true! Now you can understand our hatred of housekeeping, right?"

"Well, understood. ”

Xiao Ye nodded solemnly, pulling two companions who didn't want to work to get the cleaning tools, and question marks kept popping up in her head.

So...... Where should clothes be hung and where should garbage be thrown?

This may be a mystery for the ages.

====================

Small Theatre:

Xiaoling: It's too troublesome to clean, I should try to use my superpower to sweep the dust out directly!

Jj:...... Stop, have you forgotten the last time you did this, demolished the house?

Night: ......

Xiaojie: Ahem, Xiaoye, don't look so frightened, we won't demolish your house, don't worry. (muttering) will lose money if it is dismantled......

Sayo: I'm not at all at ease. (Eyes die)
