Chapter 18: Confession and Leniency
Katsuragi carried the unusually dazzling-looking cake to the station, and the rate of turning heads along the way was simply high. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I specially picked out my favorite clothes today, and the makeup in the cake shop looks very cute, plus the love cake that looks like a confession in my hand, the big sisters and aunts on the side of the road almost can't hold it.
Fortunately, Katsura Mu was agile and sharp-eyed, and avoided many accidents along the way.
"Huh" Katsuragi, who finally arrived at the station and got on the return train, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the time and calculated, and when he got home, he was probably just in time for his mother's dinner.
But Katsuragi looked at the cake on the table, a little worried, how to explain to his parents when he got home, Katsuragi stared at the rapidly passing scenery outside the window.
Maybe confess directly!?Or make up a lie?Katsuragi thought of various solutions in his heart, but if he confessed, he shuddered at the thought of his gentle mother's angry appearance. But what should I say if I make up a lie, Katsura scratched his head, worried.
Time flowed imperceptibly in the entanglement of Katsuraki.
"Kawagoe Prefecture Station has arrived, please get off the passengers who got off at this station to pack up their luggage and get off......" When he heard that Katsuragi had arrived at the station, he came back to his senses and found that he still hadn't thought of a solution.
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time, if it doesn't work, I'll be honest. Gui Mu thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to do, so he could only think of breaking the jar.
With a cake in his hand, Katsuragi got off the train and walked in the direction of his home.
The sun had begun to slowly set in the west, and Katsuragi had been walking for a while, and he could already see the shadow of his house, Katsuragi thought about it and decided that if his parents asked, it would be better to tell the truth, although he could not explain to his parents that he was a time-traveler, so there was no need to worry so much about his safety.
But he doesn't want to deceive his family with lies, at most, he won't be able to sneak out like this next time, and it is estimated that the pocket money will be stricter in the future, Gui Mu thought with some sadness.
"I'm back...... Katsuragi said hello as he opened the door and into the room.
"Xiaomu is back, where did you go today? I came back so late, and Liuhua couldn't find you at the place just now!"
Katsuragi's father, the little bird You Katsuri, sat on the sofa and heard the sound of Katsuragi coming back, turned his head to look at Katsuragi, and happened to see the cake in Katsuragi's hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Huh, what is this?"
"Ah...... Nothing, nothing. Katsuragi scratched his head and prepared to go upstairs to his room, trying to pretend to be stupid.
"Stop!" Hearing his father's stern voice, Katsuragi knew that there seemed to be no way to get by, so he turned to look at Katsuraichi with serious eyes, "Where did the things in your hand come from?"
"I bought it for tomorrow's birthday present for Nao. Gui Mu replied in a low voice, and tried in vain that his parents would not investigate it carefully.
"Where did you buy it?" Maybe Katsura Yi knew more about the various shops nearby, and obviously saw that the packaging of the cake was different, or maybe he was puzzled that Katsuragi came back so late today, after all, Katsuragi, who usually stays at home, rarely went out to play for so long, and Katsura Yi, who felt a little abnormal, continued to ask.
"Huh, Kogi is back?" said Mari, the mother who heard the movement, poked her head out of the kitchen and saw Katsuragi smiling.
"Well, Mom," Katsuragi greeted her mother, thinking about what to do with her father.
At this time, Mari also saw the expression of the little bird You Guiyi, and felt a little strange, and opened his mouth to ask Guiyi, "What's wrong, did something happen?"
"I don't know where this kid went to buy a gift today, and he came back so late, I was asking him!" Hearing his wife's question, Katsura thought for a while and explained to Mari.
Katsuragi's mother, Mari, listened to Katsuraichi's words, and also saw the cake in Katsuragi's hand, looked at Katsuragi carefully, touched her chin and looked at Katsuragi and laughed: "Hmm, why am I so cute today! Also, is the gift in my hand for Xiaozhi to confess? When will I be able to hold my grandson?"
Hearing his mother's previous words, Katsura remembered that he had also put on makeup, which made it even more difficult to fool around. As for the mother's teasing behind, Guimu said, hey, your son is only seven years old, and he wants to hug his grandson, don't you think it's too early!
Looking at his father with a serious face and his mother who looked like a show, Katsura knew that he couldn't pretend to be stupid, so he could only say helplessly: "I went to Kyoto today to buy a birthday gift for Xiaozhi." ”
"What!?" "You actually ran away to Kyoto!?" Hearing Katsuragi's words, Katsuragi's father and mother grew their mouths and were visibly surprised.
"You kid, how dare you run so far?" said Katsuragi's mother with a worried look on her ears when she heard Katsuragi's words.
"It hurts...... It hurts ......" Katsura Mu looked at his mother's worried expression and quickly admitted his mistake, "Mom, I was wrong, I won't dare next time." ”
"Come, sit down and tell us what's going on, where did you get the money to buy the gift?"
"Yes, hurry up, confess and be lenient. Resistance is strict. Mari, who had just let go of Katsuragi's ears, added on the side.
Looking at his parents who were pursuing to the end, Katsuragi sat on the stool, thinking about what to say.
"I'm back" X2, this is two cute voices coming from the door, it turns out that Katsuragi and his sisters Rooka and Shika have returned from playing outside.
"Well, Liuhua and Shihua are back, the meal will be ready soon, go tidy up and wash up, and come over for dinner in a while." Mother Mari looked at the ten flowers and six flowers who entered the house, and said softly.
"Hmm. Liuhua and Shihua nodded, answered, and were about to go to wash, and when they walked to the table, they happened to see Guimu, and Liuhua asked curiously: "Hey, Xiaomu, are you back?" I and Sister Shihua can't find you anywhere today, and I don't know where you have been." ”
Seeing his sister Liuhua's question, Katsuragi had to explain again, "I went to Kyoto today to buy a gift for Xiao Zhi." ”
Hearing Katsuragi's words, Shihua glanced at Katsuragi in surprise, didn't say anything, and walked into the bathroom. Xiao Liuhua stared at Katsura Mu with wide eyes and said, "Wow, Xiao Mu is so bad, he didn't even take me with him when he went to Kyoto to play." ”
"Bang" The mother who heard Liuhua's words knocked directly on Liuhua's little head, and urged: "Hurry up and wash up, and get ready to eat." ”
"Woo......" Liuhua covered her head, unwillingly glared at the smiling Katsunaku, and went into the bathroom to wash.
"And you, don't laugh, go wash and eat first, and then ask you after dinner. He glanced at Katsura Mu, who was laughing because of Liuhua, and noticed that Mari, who was almost ready for the kitchen meal, could only put down his doubts first and speak.
"Hmm...... Hmmm......" After a tired day, Katsuragi, who was already hungry and rumbling, hurriedly agreed.
Seeing Mari who had already made a decision, Guiyi didn't say anything, the child's body is important, it is better to eat first, after all, Guimu doesn't seem to have anything, they just want to know what Katsura has done, and it's not too late to ask after eating.
Katsuragi hurriedly went upstairs to put the gifts back in the room, then went to wash up, and the family sat together and had a harmonious and hearty dinner.
