The picnic spot where Arashi was located was not far from the woman, and she walked halfway with Kirizakura, and at the request of the little ghost, the two held hands together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But this action did not eliminate the little ghost's nervousness, and Arashi could feel the trembling of the other party's hand.

As they approached the woman's footsteps, the frequency of the trembling gradually increased. Lan deliberately looked down at the little ghost, Sakura's obviously lagging pace made her small figure fall behind her, and the hanging bangs covered most of her small face, and she could only vaguely see the white lips that were pursed.

What are the little ghosts afraid of?Lan couldn't help but think of this, but he could already see the distance of the woman's facial features, so he didn't have the time to ask questions, but when they walked up to the woman, they were overtaken by another uninvited guest.

"Aoi-chan. A man in a casual hoodie appeared out of nowhere, standing in front of the woman and raising his hand in greeting.

The woman who heard the voice took her eyes off the book in her hand, raised her head and showed a smile to the other party, and said gently: "Yan Ye, long time no see." Have you come back from a business trip? It's taken a long time. ”

"Yes. The man replied softly, his tone unconsciously soft, "It's okay." ”

"Uncle Yanye. ”

In front of Arashi and Sakura, who stopped, a girl in a short red skirt dropped the ball she was playing with and ran in front of the man, shouting affectionate names.

Hearing this voice, Kirizakura shook suddenly, and whispered, "It's my sister." ”

After saying this, she involuntarily shrank behind Lan, as if she didn't dare to face the next scene at all.

"Uncle Yanye, welcome back. ”

"Rin-chan. The man who turned around responded to the girl's call to himself.

"Did you buy me another gift?"

"Rin-chan, you're so rude. The mother who reprimanded her felt a little headache for her daughter's naughtiness. And the man, who was called Yanye, walked up to the girl and squatted down with a smile.

"It's a gift for you. Yan Ye took out the gift that had been prepared long ago from his pocket, handed it to the girl, and continued, "Where's Sakura?"

"Sakura-chan......" The little girl who heard this, the smile on her face faded in the blink of an eye, leaving only helplessness at a loss, "It's gone." ”

"Xiaokui, what does this mean?" Yanye, who was taken aback, immediately turned her head to look at the woman, and she was a little confused about the situation when she had just returned from a business trip.

"Sakura isn't my daughter anymore, and it's not Rin-chan's sister anymore. The woman's words were like a sudden flash of thunder in the dense dark clouds, making Sakura, who was hiding behind Arashi, tremble at the same time, and stretched out her little hand to grab the corner of Arashi's clothes.

"That kid...... I went to the house of the Kiri. The woman named Mother explained her daughter's whereabouts in such short words.

"Why!!" Yanye got up from the ground angrily and asked the woman.

"You should know the reason why the family wants to inherit the blood of the magician. It's the head of Tosaka, and he decided to agree to the request of the Makiri family, who has been friendly for generations, and I don't have any room for opinion. ”

"That's ...... Is it really good? ”

"From the moment I decided to marry the Tosaka family...... From the moment I decided to become the magician's wife, I had been mentally prepared for this. Inheriting the bloodline of magicians, it is natural to make the family happy. ”

"Lying...... You're ...... with that guy for the sake of happiness."

There was a quarrel between the two not far away, to be honest, Lan didn't have the idea of reasoning, or he was a little unhappy at the moment, for him who grew up in an orphanage, he really hated this kind of behavior towards his children.

Lan, who had sunk her face, turned her head slightly, looked at the little ghost who had been hiding behind her with her head down, and said, "Hey, little ghost, do you want to go over?"

Silence, silence, after such silence, Sakura Makiri, who raised her head, had tears on her face, and then shook her head.

"I ...... Wants to go home, Ernie sauce. ”

"Let's go. Removing Sakura's little hand from the corner of her clothes, Arashi took the little hand and walked towards Joan of Arc, who was resting on the picnic mat.

On the way home, the three of them chose the nearby tram as a means of transportation, and the delicate Joan of Arc held the young Sakura in her arms, and she didn't speak, just patted Sakura's back gently with her hand like a mature adult.

When they got all the way home, the little ghost, who looked like he was asleep, was carried back to the room by Joan of Arc to rest. And Lan, who felt that it was not going well today, made a pot of tea and sat on the sofa.

"Arashi-sama, what are you worried about?" After setting up the little ghost, Joan of Arc walked back to the living room, meekly sat down opposite Arashi, and took the initiative to take care of the kettle placed on the stove.

Looking at the slightly dazzling blonde girl in front of her, Lan, who didn't know what to think, suddenly asked the other party, "I remember you said that you are the heroic spirit summoned by the thing called the Holy Grail, and you came to me to protect me?"

"Yes, Arashi-sama. You don't have to doubt it. The girl who sat upright with her hands folded in front of her thighs said solemnly.

"Why protect me, even though you said I was important to that Holy Grail, I still couldn't understand the meaning of that statement. Arashi paused deliberately, "If you want to gain each other's trust, don't say things that will confuse people." ”

"I'm sorry, Arashi-sama. Joan of Arc shook her head, "I don't even understand the reason why I was chosen by the Holy Grail this time, but I know that there is someone who can answer Arashi-sama's question. ”

"Who?"

"Please wait. Joan of Arc raised her right hand into a fist and put it to her mouth, coughed deliberately, and then said in a tone that did not suit her temperament, "If you want to know the reason, you should summon the old lady out earlier! ”

The corners of ......'s mouth twitched twice, and Lan looked at the girl who suddenly performed a parody show a little speechlessly, "Who is the woman who asked you to convey this sentence!!"

A slight shy flush appeared on her cheeks, and Joan of Arc, who rarely showed childishness, took out an object from her arms and handed it to Arashi.

A small piece of clothing, Arashi, who had taken the item, frowned slightly, trying to identify the possible message of this item.

The corners of the black clothes are very thin, but the texture is very good, and you can feel the silkiness when you touch it with your fingertips. No matter how you look at it, this should be a woman's clothing.

"What are you giving me this thing for? Lan, who had been wondering for a long time, finally asked the girl who was meditating on the other side.

"Summon, in order to summon your own Heroic Spirit. Arashi-sama. ”
