...... Things have calmed down for a while.

However, as soon as the head of the room is out of the house, the elite of SCEPTER 4 have to take turns taking care of the little baby.

So the wonderful scenes kept being staged in Qingyunliao. For example, the deputy chief of Awashima had to carry a baby on his back when he was training the newcomer to draw a knife; Daoming Temple went to change the baby's diaper but was wrapped around the neck by the baby's diaper controlled by a superpower that the baby couldn't control independently, and he rolled his eyes; when Akiyama went to feed the baby, the baby suddenly cried and the bottle exploded. Fortunately, Liu Quan, who happened to be free, came to the conference room to see if there was anything he could do, and as soon as he opened the door, he found this sudden situation, and quickly used his superpower to freeze the glass shards splashing in the air. It can be regarded as saving Akiyama's phase-breaking crisis in time......

Akiyama, who was in a state of apprehension, thanked Yanagiquan for saving his life, and then hurried out to buy a new bottle. After some tossing, the baby was finally re-fed, and then Liu Quan took over the important task of putting the baby to sleep (?).

Akiyama sat obediently in the corner of the conference room, watching Yanagizumi hold the little baby and pacing and humming a soft song, and it took a full forty minutes of patience to lull the little baby who seamlessly switched between angels and demons to sleep, and couldn't help but look at her with reverence (?).

Then he hurriedly offered a glass of water to Liu Quan, whose voice was already slightly hoarse.

At this time, it was already half past ten in the evening. After completing a whole day's official duties, everyone returned to the conference room one after another to see the baby's condition, so they almost witnessed the scene of Liu Quan holding the baby and humming to put him to sleep, and respected her.

So when Yanagiquan, who had a sore back and a dry throat, had just sat down on a chair beside her, not only did Akiyama move extremely quickly to hand her a glass of water, but she also heard the following words of worship:

"It's worthy of Liu Quanjun! Let's just say that someone who can handle even the head of the room will definitely be able to deal with this little guy......"

"If I have this patience and courage, I feel that there is definitely nothing in the world that Yanagizumi-kun can't accomplish......"

Liu Quan laughed and laughed.

"It's just a little baby sleeping, and you're talking as if I saved the world, and that's an exaggeration......

Before she could finish her sentence, she was warmly interrupted by Daoming Temple.

"No, no, no, Liu Quan-kun, what you did today is not much worse than saving the world!"

Liu Quan: "......"

Akiyama's clear voice just added slowly next to him: "...... And it's really thanks to your help that saved my face. ”

The crying baby's superpowers almost went berserk, blowing up the anti-drop bottles, and although Ryuzumi arrived in time to prevent the entire conference room from falling back into a state of messing around, one or two pieces of flying debris still swept across Akiyama's cheeks, marking two shallow blood marks.

Now Bencai is helping him disinfect and apply medicine, and after listening to Liu Quan's two suspiciously modest (?) words, he also added slowly.

"No...... In fact, everyone thinks that taking care of children is really more frustrating than imagined......"

Hidaka: "I've taken care of my brother at home, but it's still different from taking care of a baby......

Enomoto: "...... If only I could find my parents. ”

Hidaka patted Enomoto's shoulder with a big grin.

"Yes. But it must be fine! How can there be parents who don't love their children!"

Sitting in the corner of the conference room, Fushimi, who was unscrewing the cap of the bottle of pure water and was about to drink it, lowered his brows slightly, and complained to himself in a breathing voice: "...... If that were the case, the guy wouldn't have been thrown at the gate of the cantonment so hastily. ”

Liu Quan glanced at him.

As if the topic was suddenly untenable, everyone suddenly stood up.

"Ah, it's time to take a shower!

Fushimi glanced gloomily at the group.

"Go ahead. ...... I'll talk about that later. ”

As if relieved, Domeiji forcibly stuffed the little baby he was holding in his arms to Fushimi.

"Then he'll ask Fushimi-kun to take care of it temporari......ly!

Fushimi looked incredulous, staring at the little baby who was unaware of the change of hands and was still sleeping soundly with a small snoring sound.

"Tsk, why did you make me ......?!"

His gaze drifted in the direction of Willow Spring, but was immediately stopped by Akiyama's sudden boldness.

"Fushimi-kun! In order to lull him to sleep, Liu Quanjun worked hard for forty minutes...... Shouldn't she be given a good rest now?"

Fushimi was stunned. Bencai smiled and said like mud, "Well...... Fushimi-kun must be fine, I'm a big help. ”

Daoming Temple also folded his hands, made a "please, please" gesture at Fushimi, and did not forget to nod and bow while retreating, and pushed the door out with everyone.

The door to the conference room closed again. Fushimi looked down at the little baby with a smoky miasma.

...... As a result, he woke up at some point, staring at Fushimi with wide bright eyes.

Fushimi:......!!!

Before he could utter a word, the little baby babbled, and stretched out its hand to his face—

With a quick movement, he grabbed the glasses off Fushimi's face!

Fushimi: "Huh!?"

The baby grinned and played with the loot (?) in his hand, completely ignoring the black air that bubbled up behind him.

Fushimi seemed to want to snatch his glasses, and he was afraid that he would hurt the baby if he was too heavy, so he held him with his left hand and stretched out his right hand twice and finally hesitated, and the black miasma on his face was about to turn into substance.

Liu Quan pinched his thigh hard, and finally held back the laughter on his lips.

But of course, her distorted face could not escape Fushimi's gaze. After noticing that her facial features were deformed with a smile, the dark clouds on Fushimi's face became thicker, and after a snort, he reached out and snatched his glasses back from the little baby's hand and put them back on his face, muttering: "...... That's why I don't like creatures that can't communicate......"

The baby probably thought that Fushimi was playing with him, and smiled more heartily, reaching out and kicking his legs very cheerfully.

Liu Quan couldn't help but smile and said, "...... But I think the children are inexplicably fond of Fushimi-kun. For example...... Quick?"

Because from the nephew of the head of the room, Soaka Kuai, he thought of the head of the room himself, and Fushimi snorted fiercely.

“...... It's really inexplicable, I don't know what about me will interest them......" Fushimi said as if complaining, but his tone seemed to soften a little.

The baby danced and suddenly grabbed Fushimi's right index finger.

Fushimi: ?!

The small, fleshy hand held the tip of his index finger, from where the body temperature that did not belong to him came from. Fushimi seemed to be shocked by this fact for a moment, and all the black miasma on his face suddenly disappeared, and he stared down at the little baby who was smiling happily.

Seeing this scene, the expression on Liu Quan's face also softened and slowly turned into a smile.

"Look, isn't that great. She whispered.

"Fushimi-kun exudes an aura of reliability, and that's why they trust you. She said.

The expression on Fushimi's face was strange, as if he had suddenly received a good guy card that he didn't want, but after a pause, he didn't let out another impatient smack.

"......Shh Rather than having a bad parent, maybe it's better to simply be thrown away and have no worries from now on. He whispered irritably.

Suspiciously hearing Fushimi's rare truth--and the tip of the iceberg set by the [Dark Family] behind him—Liu Quan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That's pretty much the same thing about my premise. She said in a gentle tone as if nothing had happened.

"It's unrealistic to count on parents...... But fortunately, my parents are not the only ones in my life. ”

"When you grow up, you can get to know a lot of other people...... Being able to meet the kind of people who make you think, 'It's great to know them.'" I think that's the beauty of life. Even if you don't have a good start to rely on, you will be able to decide the direction of your life one day......"

Fushimi looked up at her in amazement, and the look in his eyes was as surprising and shocking as if she had suddenly become an alien.

But this strange look was soon interrupted by a smiling voice.

"I see. I also agree with Oh, Shin Ya-kun. ”

The door to the conference room opened silently, and the head of the room walked in slowly, leaning slightly to see the baby in Fushimi's arms.

Fushimi: "...... You're back. ”

Reiji Munakata snorted and smiled at the little baby who was holding Fushimi's fingers and smiling happily.

"The so-called family is the society that a person first comes into contact with, and it is also the first 'outsider' who is affected by it and is not his own essence. ”

He said.

However, even if a person is expelled from this original society, there will be other societies that will accept him. He looked at the little baby with a gentle gaze.

"That's it. ”

Fushimi was shocked. But he quickly concealed his wavering expression, regained his true color of complaining with a paralyzed face, and said, "...... Teacher, you don't want to be the child's 'other society', do you?!Could it be that you really want to be his parent?"

Reiji Munakata touched his chin with a smile.

"Oh?

Fushimi was silent for a moment, as if there were too many slots and I didn't know where to spit out. After two seconds, he made his choice.

"Not really. It's just that I have to start this life by the side of the head of the room, and I have a little sympathy for this child. ”

At this time, Liu Quan, who was left to dry, suddenly smiled and spoke.

"Fushimi-kun's map cannon is still so sharp......"

Fushimi was stunned. "Huh?!"

Ryuzumi was still holding the water cup that Akiyama had handed her earlier, and she was sitting at a table not far from them, and even when she saw Munakata Reiji open the door and come in, she didn't immediately walk over.

She smiled like a shark, as if she had suddenly reminded Fushimi.

Fushimi lifted his eyelids angrily, and finally reminded the head of the room very righteously: "...... If you want to adopt this child, it is better to ask the opinion of Liu Quanjun who is sitting over there, right......?

What a guy who never forgets to stick a knife. It's like I'm afraid that everyone will think he's too good. Liu Quan thought with a smile.

The head of the room smiled mysteriously and did not respond to Fushimi's words, but suddenly reached out and clasped a small metal bracelet on the baby's left wrist with a snap.

"This is a suppression item. It is to make the hand shackles used to detain the 'outsiders' in our dungeon into the shape of an ornament suitable for children. He naturally diverted the conversation as if nothing had happened. "That flail was originally developed by the Golden Clan, and I spent a whole day in Nanakama today to discuss whether I could use it on an ability suppression device suitable for babies......

Fushimi: "Oh. ”

Liu Quan: "Oh. ”

Reiji Zongxiang smiled and commented again: "Although their king is no longer there, the ability of the 'Non-Time Courtyard' is still extraordinary...... The speed of completion is also very fast, worthy of the old monster's command. ”

Fushimi whispered again: "...... So, would you like to face up to the previous problem......

Liu Quan: [I'm angry, but I still have to keep smiling.jpg]

As if he hadn't noticed the strange atmosphere in the room, Reiji Sogami naturally continued, "This bracelet will still be of some use until he grows to the point where he can control his abilities on his own—or if the effects and abilities left over from the Dresden Slate are completely gone." ”

Fushimi rolled his eyes and cast a glance at Yanagiquan, the meaning of that gaze was clear, that is, "I've tried my best to help you, but the head of the room is such a painting style, I can't help it."

Liu Quan smiled slightly, and said in a tone that was more natural than that of the room elder: "...... I can't help it, it turns out that my personality is incompatible, this is terrible-"

Fushimi:!!

Fushimi's eyes widened for a moment—a rare expression like his—but the head of the room next to him remained the same, just pushing the thin-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. A flash of light crossed the lens.

"I've sent someone to investigate his parents. Reiji Munakata said calmly, suddenly reaching out and taking the little baby from Fushimi's arms, and raised it a few times, making the little baby giggle again.

"SCEPTER 4 has a responsibility to all 'outsiders'. If he is really abandoned by his parents, simply sending him to an orphanage is not a good solution...... And we don't know when the influence of the Dresden Slate will disappear completely, until then, let him live as an ordinary child in an ordinary orphanage, and we will not be able to manage what happens. He said solemnly.

Then the next second he actually turned to Fushimi.

"Are you right, Fushimi-kun?"

Fushimi: "...... Hah?!Ask me?!"

Fushimi showed an expression of disbelief, and looked at the head of the room and nodded solemnly, the expression on his face that "tsk is really troublesome, why does it affect me, an innocent person, every time the two of you have a dispute?"

"Tsk, that kind of thing...... It's all right. He replied perfunctorily, with a look of great impatience, as if he had something to say, but quickly swallowed back the harmful impulse.

The roommaster smiled.

...... The next moment, without warning, he turned in the direction of Willow Spring.

"So, what do you think, Shinya-kun?"

Liu Quan: "......"

The head of the room set up this step for himself very naturally, and the trick [personality incompatibility] that she released in the air, which can be big or small enough to cause trouble, was easily resolved by him - on the surface, he said that he was on official business, but in fact, he concealed the behavior and dialogue of private goods, but the master of the room was good at it. She had fallen into the same routine more than once or twice before, but this time she originally wanted to take this opportunity to give the elder who likes to cover the sky with one hand a plan to dismount and punch into the cotton.

When you talk to him about raising children, you have to ask for the consent of your other half, and he will talk to you about the importance of the management of outsiders, and when you talk to him about issues related to both parties, you must respect the opinions of the other half, and he will talk to you about things like this: "I decided for myself not to make you sad because I expected you to touch the situation, so in order not to make you sad, I decided to do it because I liked you" and so on.

...... It's so angry, but you still have to keep smiling.

Before Yanagizumi could answer, Awashima Shiri pushed the door in.

"The mother of this child has been found! Now it's outside!"

The three people in the room were slightly stunned. The first to react was actually the head of the room.

He lifted the baby up again, and the baby let out another giggle as if it were happy.

As a result, the roommaster actually talked to the little baby.

"Someone came to pick you up...... Do you have any plans?"

Fushimi: "...... Is it necessary to ask him for his opinion...... Aren't you going to give your child back? ”

The head of the room held the baby in his arms and let him grab his scarf.

"Where, I'm just going to listen to the intentions of the parties. ”

Fushimi couldn't resist the urge to complain to himself.

"When you just said that you were going to adopt him, you didn't even plan to listen to Liu Quan's intentions...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have caused so much trouble......" he muttered, glancing at Willow Spring, whose smile was like an iron mask.

"That smile is terrible...... Didn't you even feel it, Director? ”

It's as if he didn't hear Fushimi's whispering.

"In my opinion, intention means that the person who is thrown behind also has the right to abandon the other person. He said lightly.

...... For a moment, it gave people the illusion that his aura was breaking two meters eight in a flash.

The next second, he naturally brought the topic back to life.

"So I didn't ask Shinya-kun about his intentions - because in my opinion, Shin-ya-kun couldn't have been thrown away, right?" he continued, with a very calm expression, as if he had no idea how much thought-provoking dog food was in this sentence.

With the emotional intelligence of Awashima and Fushimi, of course, it is enough to judge that the head of the room seems to have unintentionally sprinkled them with a handful of dog food. Both of them had indigestion expressions on their faces for a moment.

Before Liu Quan could show a touched expression in cooperation, he was blackened by the next sentence of the head of the room.

"Speaking of which...... I was the one who was thrown down in the first place. He smiled and turned to Willow Springs, with a pure and innocent look on his face—and he stabbed Willow Springs.

Liu Quan felt that three black lines were hanging on his forehead in an instant.

“...... I'm sorry about that. She smirked and replied casually, and after thinking about it, she felt that she should fight back, so she said, "What about the director's intentions?"

The roommaster continued to smile innocently.

"I ?...... I gave up my right to give up the other person. It's that simple. He said.

Willow Springs: !!

Awashima: "......"

Fushimi: "......"

At this time, the little baby in the arms of Reiji Sonata let out a babbling sound at the right time, reached out and touched the face of the head of the room, and danced as if he wanted to say something.

Reiji Sonata looked down at the little baby, and after a moment, a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Ah, do you want to go to your mother. So it looks like you're reunited with your mother. ”

OUTSIDE THE GATE OF THE CAMP, THE YOUNG MOTHER CARRIED THE BABY IN HER ARMS, CARRYING THE LARGE BAG OF BABY ITEMS THAT KAMO HAD BOUGHT, AND AFTER BOWING DEEPLY TO THE SCEPTER 4 TRIUMVIRATE AND YANAGIZUMI WHO MADE SOY SAUCE, SHE TURNED AROUND AND WALKED AWAY SLOWLY.

Awashima looked at the young mother's back as if he was worried, and said, "...... Can we raise this child well...... Although I found it again because I regretted it afterwards......"

Reiji Munakata coughed.

"Don't worry. ”

"Since that child is an 'outsider', then he will be under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Branch of the Family Registration Division of the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau. It is also our job to ensure that his parents are able to raise him well, and to keep an eye on and assist the family. ”

Awashima smiled knowingly.

"Yes!" she replied crisply.

“...... But this time I missed the opportunity to be a father, what a waste of my serious morning awakening. The head of the room continued as if nothing had happened.

Liu Quan: "......"

Awashima: "......"

The expression on Fushimi's face is hard to describe. If you have to say it, it's probably [Tsk, these two people are going to emit the sour smell of love again, it's really annoying].

He endured and endured, and finally put his hands in his pockets, and suddenly strode towards the cantonment first, and said quickly without looking back as he walked: "Tsk, what does this kind of thing tell us...... Isn't that the object of the talk there? ”

Liu Quan: "......"

Awashima had to stop him again: "Fushimi!"

The head of the room laughed without warning.

"BUT, ANYWAY, I STILL HAVE SCEPTER 4, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO MY CHILD. He said lightly.

The other three felt a chill at the same time.

I have to say that everyone still knows Fushimi very well. Before Fushimi could say something unforgivable, Awashima said loudly, "I'm already tired after a busy day...... Hurry up and go back and rest, Fushimi!"

Then he raised his leg to keep up with Fushimi, who was already a few steps ahead of them.

Seeing the backs of Awashima and Fushimi leaving in a hurry as if fleeing for their lives (no), Yanagizumi curled the corners of his lips.

"Today, the head of the room showed a rare side. She said.

Reiji Munakata walked slowly, turning his head sideways to look at her, and then smiled at a seemingly ignorant (fog!).

"Do you mean I want to be a dad for once?" he asked in an unusually innocent voice. Then without waiting for Liu Quan to have a seizure, he continued to say seriously: "I just think that I have to deal with that child's problem responsibly...... I'm sorry if I didn't think about your mood because I've been single for a long time, so I guess I often forget that I'm not alone anymore......"

Willow Springs: !!

She jerked her head up and stared at the side of the roommate's face.

The head of the room smiled innocently.

...... This person must have done it on purpose!!

A subtle reminder of how she had turned away in the first place, like the most incompetent lover...... There is even an element of temptation in this sentence, testing whether she will maintain the same state during the time when he has been "single for a long time".

If the wisdom of the head of the room is used in these aspects, then it is really unbeatable. Liu Quan thought.

“...... No, I'm saying that the head of the room unexpectedly went much deeper than I thought when he thought about these issues. She said.

Isn't it just a sudden change of direction? This kind of thing she will also learn from him.

"I was a little troubled that my opinion was not taken into account by the head of the room...... However, the head of the room is probably very experienced in taking in the 'poor little one abandoned by his parents'. She smiled.

"Like me, like Fushimi-kun, like that kid today......"

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Fang's predecessors seem to be doing the same thing. ”

A mischievous smile crossed her face.

"Could it be that if you want to be a good 'king', you must have a sense of responsibility to pick up stray cats everywhere and raise them home. ”

Reiji Munakata: "......"

The analogy seemed to surprise him a little for a moment, but when he reacted, he was a little ridiculous.

He suddenly approached her and put his hand around her shoulder.

"Maybe that's the case. He said with a smile.

Then, naturally, he turned his face sideways, and under the appropriate height difference between the two of them, his lips lightly touched Liu Quan's forehead.

Although it was a dip and a walk, with hardly any deep touch, Liu Quan immediately felt his face flush like an explosion.

"Ree, Rei-kun, what are you doing......!!" she exclaimed, lowering her voice a little embarrassed, feeling that her previous rivalry with the head of the room had all disappeared in an instant.

"Ah, my parents, too, have always found my thoughts and actions a little incredible. Munakata Reiji didn't answer her question, but smiled and narrowed his eyes, and suddenly changed the subject.

Liu Quan subconsciously thought of the parents of the Soka family and his elder brother Soka Daiji's family.

Truly...... It's not the same style of painting as the head of the room.。

The head of the room continued, "But that doesn't stop our relationship with each other. ”

Liu Quan: ?

"Even if each other can't understand some of each other's thoughts and actions, they can still be each other's 'important beings'. Munakata Reiji said.

"That's how I get along with my family. ”

"I hope that even if there are some unforeseen differences in the future, even if sometimes the other side does something that I can't understand......"

However, in their own minds, the other party is still the only, important, and irreplaceable existence. ”

"That's the way I want to get along with Shinya-kun. ”

Willow Springs: !!

She was stunned for a moment, then slowly curled her eyebrows.

"Zongxiang senior, too cunning. ”

Reiji Munegara chuckled softly.

And Liu Quan continued:

"I love it, though. ”

“...... I love what you just offered. She paused deliberately before continuing her words.

As if he had expected her to pull such a trick, Reiji Munakata smiled, not showing too much surprise.

"Really?...... It seems that a consensus has been reached. ”

He put his arm around her shoulder leisurely, as if he didn't care at all that entering the camp in this way would make it feel like he was OOC.

"The process of reaching a consensus after consultation is not bad. He said.

Liu Quan smiled.

"Of course it's not bad. She said.

"Because, if you can be with 'important beings', everything is meaningful. ”
