Ikebukuro, which is often used as a backstage for dramas, novels, and dramas, is one of Tokyo's famous business hotspots.

There are countless department stores, electrical stores, fashion stores, cinemas, restaurants, and amusement centers. At the west exit of the station, there are cultural facilities such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Theater and Rikkyo University. The busiest part of Ikebukuro is a street that stretches from the station to the east and west, and is said to be a city with a million people every day.

At this time, my wife hedgehog was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hotel room on this busy street. Through the glass windows, you can see the bustling scene below the street at a glance. All kinds of vehicles and fashionably dressed people leaned on the windows and looked down, as if they could even blend into the bustling scene.

"It's amazing......"

This is the first time since I was born to come to such a prosperous area.

Not animals, not battlefields, but gatherings that belong to humans.

It's a world that my wife hedgehog can fit into.

"Mom, Mom......" The hedgehog looked back at her mother who was drunk on the bed, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. Mom had already fallen asleep, holding the pillow and saying, "I can have another drink!" Dream talk. It's no wonder that after entering Ikebukuro, you enter an izakaya, and you eat barbecue while drinking bottle after bottle, and it's good enough to be able to fall to the ground after staying at a hotel.

"Mom, get up and take a shower, you smell so bad...... It's like an uncle, I don't care about you. The hedgehog grumbled and made a look that looked like he didn't want to approach the drunkard. But I still ran to pour a cup of hot water and put it on the cabinet, climbed into bed and carefully shook my wife's mother's body.

"Get up, Mom."

"Hiccup~, little brother, another bottle...... Hmmm......"

"It's not another bottle, the hedgehog isn't the big brother of the izakaya." The hedgehog tried his best to hold my wife's mother's armpits, trying to help her up and lean against the pillow, but she was too thin and too small to pull an adult, but was taken into her arms by my wife's mother who reacted, and her whole face was pressed into two large lumps of softness by her own mother.

"It's so warm...... It's so soft......" My wife's mother was talking in her sleep, and she didn't forget to rub Jì against the hedgehog's head, and kissed her silly hair playfully.

The hedgehog, whose whole face was red, struggled up, and pressed hard against his mother's two soft balls and shouted, "Ya Butterfly-!" ”

"Ring sauce~, Ya Yan Butterfly...... It's so itchy~...... Hahaha, what a disobedient ring sauce. ”

The hedgehog looked at her very depressed, but was calling her mom by her father's endearment. That's right, this ring sauce is my wife's mother's affectionate name for my wife's father, and my full name is my wife's ring.

As for why my wife's mother doesn't use Jun name, but sauce name, it seems that it's because the pronunciation of sauce is better?! Anyway, it's the kind of thing that hedgehogs don't understand about the interests of adults.

Although the word ring makes people feel very self-disciplined and neat, according to the mother who the hedgehog knows, my wife is a man who is different from the outside, calm on the outside, and fanatical on the inside. It was this sullen attribute that was chased and beaten all the way from the station to the door by my wife's mother, who was about to graduate from junior high school, and was finally taken down by my wife's mother in high school.

"Hedgehog isn't Daddy!" The hedgehog struggled, seeing that the saliva on the corner of her mother's mouth was about to flow to her body, she was going to cry.

My wife's father has always restricted his wife's drinking, because my wife's mother's alcohol is very poor, and there is a black history of sleeping directly on the road after drinking too much, but fortunately it was picked up by my father who happened to pass by and went home, otherwise such a big beauty slept on the street and let the bad guys find out!

Although the hedgehog also asked what happened after his mother was picked up by his father, every time he mentioned this question, my wife's father would silently turn on the TV and tune to the hedgehog's favorite channel, smile and say, "Baby, the cartoon has started." ”

The hedgehog believes that it must be a black history that Dad doesn't want to mention, and there must be a story.

My wife's mother is not an alcoholic, she only drinks a few drinks when she is too happy, and then she gets drunk like mud when she is too happy. Although her current mother is still stubborn to save face, she is now only drunk in front of her family. My wife's father said that in this regard, it is a great improvement.

"Daddy would be angry if he knew you were drinking!" The hedgehog really couldn't escape his mother's octopus attack, so he had to move out of my wife and father.

Every time my wife and mother get drunk and crazy, as long as they move out of my wife and father, it will soon stop.

The hedgehog who used [my wife's father] to attack calmly listened to the person holding him and sobbed quietly.

"Woohoo...... I'm sorry, Jiejun, I accidentally drank too much...... "My wife and mother are obviously drunk and can't get up, but they know very well in their heads that they are drunk, and they can clearly express where they are uncomfortable.

My wife's mother, who gradually calmed down, pulled out the person who was about to be suffocated by herself, and her out-of-focus pupils stared at the face held in her hand for a long time before she asked suspiciously, "Quit?" Got smaller? No...... Hedgehog sauce! When I realized that I was not holding my husband who I hadn't seen for a long time, but my baby daughter, my wife's mother was much more relieved, "Mom thought...... Spit...... Hmmm......"

"Huh!"

"Gasp!"

The hedgehog only heard a sound that made people shudder, and then she didn't know anything, her brain was blank, her nasal cavity was full of disgusting smell, and her body was sticky and smelling of wine, and this wolf bèi seemed to cause her to vomit out like my wife and mother in the next second.

"yes, I'm sorry...... Hmm, hedgehog sauce...... Mom didn't mean to. ”

After my wife and mother threw up, they seemed to be much more sober. She looked at her baby apologetically, and despised her wine in her heart. Because she hasn't seen her little baby for a long time, she drank too much and vomited the baby or something, she is really a derelict mother.

"Mom, are you alright?" Compared with his own condition, the hedgehog is still more worried about his mother who drinks too much, "Do you want me to go out and buy you some sobering drinks?" Remember when Dad said that milk seems to sober up? ”

My wife's mother, who didn't want to talk for a while, covered her mouth with one hand, waved her other hand and pointed to the bathroom.

"Oh, then I'll go wash it first." The hedgehog jumped out of bed and got into the bathroom, and my wife's mom followed him in after a room service call to help the hedgehog with his arm wrapped in plaster in the shower.

By the time the two of them came out, the room service had already removed the dirty quilt and put on a new quilt.

Helping the hedgehog change into new clothes, my wife's mother was already paralyzed, wearing only a pair of underwear and a white T-shirt, she was very heroic and stretched out and lay on the sofa.

"Hedgehog?" As soon as my wife's mother turned her head, she saw her baby taking her wallet and carefully putting on her coat, "It's six o'clock now, it's dark outside, where are you going?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm just going to the convenience store across the street from the hotel, and I'll be back soon." Before leaving, the hedgehog turned around and smiled at his worried mother before opening the door and leaving.

After leaving the hotel, the hedgehog ran into the convenience store as fast as he could.

"Welcome to Guanlin~, what do you need?" The convenience store clerk had a good attitude, but her sudden inquiry scared the unprepared little girl.

The whole person who couldn't control it shook a little, and cold sweat broke out on his cheeks instantly, and he subconsciously bent his back. "Then, that ......" wanted to say something rolled to his lips again, but he couldn't say it.

There is no such courage. Obviously, I was able to have a good conversation with the yin demon Oni-chan before, why is it ...... now?

Timidity, hesitation.

Hyozhi Oni-chan said that as long as you hit it like a straight ball, there's nothing to be afraid of, just hit it happily.

…… Come on hedgehog.

………… You can do it.

……………… It's just an exchange.

…… You can do it!

“…… Big, big sister. Please, please! Milk and, and slurp...... Where is the tea! At the risk of almost biting his tongue, the hedgehog felt like a bucket of cold water had been doused with it, and his back was soaked. She looked at the clerk who was frozen at the counter with a look of expectation. She was frightened, clenching her little fists tightly, only the breath in her mouth supported her, and once she was deflated, all her efforts would be lost.

"Ahh The clerk was stunned for a moment, showed an expression of "this kid is so cute", and pointed to the third shelf next to the door of the store.

"On the third shelf over there~ little sister."

"Ah, yes! Huh...... "The answer made the hedgehog breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank you." He bowed politely and left, walking towards the third shelf.

Hedgehog thinks, communication or something, it's really not as terrible as imagined, one, under normal circumstances, no one seems to suddenly refuse her inquiry, right? After all, this is the job of the clerk's sister...... However, I was so excited, and my palms were sweating with excitement.

I always feel ......

You can fight again!

The hedgehog clenched her fist happily, and as soon as she looked up in front of the third shelf, she instantly cried.

QAQ Mom, help! There's a very fierce Shu millet watching me.

I saw that there was a blonde man who looked fierce and hard to mess with standing next to the target's shelf. Even if the hedgehog has the idea of fighting again, his soul can't bear the big jump from the big sister of the C-level clerk to the S-level bartender Shu Xiao. She timidly took a step back, distancing herself from the Shu Xiao in front of her, who seemed to be buying cigarettes. However, the milk and tea she wanted to buy were blocked by Shu Xiao!

Although he thought about bypassing the other party, he didn't even dare to move, let alone bypass the other party to get the things on the shelf.

…… QAQ how, what to do.

"Tsk."

The unpleasant smacking sound made the hedgehog tremble uncontrollably, and the person in front of him walked to the back of the fourth shelf with a cigarette, as if he was going to get something else? However, the hedgehog turned her head to look at the fourth shelf, and the shelves facing her were filled with spices and the like.

Beer mixed with soy sauce?

The hedgehog, who accidentally opened his brain, thought that this uncle's taste was really unique. She quickly took the milk from the middle of the shelf, looked around, and finally saw her last target at the top of the shelf—tea.

The tea bag is placed in a very high position, but for a primary school student, as long as you jump up and use your hands properly, you can get there.

The hedgehog looked down at his temporarily useless arm, and if he jumped, he might fall if he was unbalanced on both sides of his body. After hesitating for a moment, the hedgehog struggled to reach the tea leaves placed on top, "Uh...... It's so high...... Not out of reach. She could only touch the label, but she couldn't get past the label and touch the tea bag.

"Tsk, trouble." A large hand reached out from behind the hedgehog and took the tea for her.

The hedgehog looked down at the tea bag that was forced into her arms, and looked up at the person who helped her take the tea leaves, he frowned fiercely, his sunglasses hung on the buttons of his white shirt, he was wearing the bartender's clothes, his hair was brilliant gold, yes, it was the terrible Shu millet just now.

"Then, that ......" the hedgehog was nervous, although he was scared, but he was grateful for being helped, "Thank you, thank you, Shu Xiao." ”

"Huh? Uncle? The blond man looked down at the little guy in front of him who seemed to be afraid of him, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm only twenty-three years old......

The hedgehog who heard it immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, yes!" Ernie sauce! Although she is only in elementary school, she calls the person in front of her, whether it is Shu millet or Ernie sauce. However, young people who have just reached adulthood generally do not like to have children call themselves too old, and the person in front of them seems to be this kind of person.

"Ding-"

"Welcome to the next time."

After settling the bill, I was escorted out of the convenience store by the doorbell and the voice of the clerk's sister. The hedgehog turned his head to look at the person who came out with him, "Ernie sauce ......"

"What are you doing when a little kid runs out so late?"

Inexplicably educated by the irrelevant Ernie sauce. Thinking of her mother, who might not be able to recover from this, the hedgehog said with a little annoyance: "Help my mother buy sobering medicine." ”

"Don't just go with the adults, Ikebukuro doesn't look too peaceful."

The hedgehog imagined the uneven appearance in the blonde Ernie sauce's mouth, and what flashed in front of him was a scene of a real gunfight.

The hedgehog, who had long been accustomed to the sudden sound of his father's side, turned his head and watched the people around him skillfully light a cigarette and put it on his fingertips, the smoke spit out along his mouth and gradually dissipated into the air, and the pungent fragrance of tobacco wrapped around the tip of his nose with a little sweet taste, which was not too choking.

"Ernie sauce, my mother said that smoking is not good for your health."

The blonde young man who had been educated was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the little guy who was looking up at him, obviously he was afraid of him just now, and he would dare to talk to him.

"It's going to spoil your throat." The hedgehog peeked at the person who couldn't see the love, and reached out and pulled his clothes, "Ernie sauce, you squat down a little." ”

"What for?" The blonde youth squatted down in confusion.

The hedgehog dug into her pocket, took out a few small snacks that she had scavenged from her mother before coming to the pond bag, and she put the round and crystal clear candy in the hand of the blonde young man and said, "This is for you, I know it's hard to quit smoking." So when Ernie sauce is uncomfortable, just eat this, it's delicious. ”

At the very least, candy is safer than smoking.

"Huh?" The blonde young man was stunned, he looked at the little guy in front of him who was very serious and stuffed the candy into his hand, and suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha-I said you, who taught you this?" Aren't you afraid of me? ”

"Huh?" The hedgehog frowned suspiciously, and asked rhetorically, "Is Ernie sauce scary?" ”

Although, at first, it was rude to have this feeling, but after Ernie sauce in front of her helped her get the tea, this feeling disappeared. The hedgehog couldn't help but think of the Hyukoni-chan who played with Hyaozhioni-chan, and compared to the more mature Hyoni-chan, the person in front of him really didn't seem to be as scary as he imagined.

The blonde youth was silent for a moment, then covered it with his hand, and rubbed the hedgehog's head, which was shaking a little from his movements, and after a few strokes, he touched her strange ear-like hair.

"Listen, my name is Shizuo Heiwajima, it's better not to lean over casually when you see me working during the day, it's dangerous."

Although the hedgehog didn't understand why Ernie sauce told her like this, she nodded in agreement, and then introduced herself: "My name is my wife, Hedgehog." ”

"Hedgehog? Haha, it's a name that matches you, it's all a small lump. Heiwajima rubbed the hedgehog's head again, and touched her seductive hair again.

Candy is an unusual attraction for children, and Heiwajima, who knows this, spreads those crystal clear candies in front of the hedgehog's eyes and asks, "Can you really give me these?" ”

The hedgehog looked at Heiwa Island with big innocent eyes and asked rhetorically, "Doesn't Oni-chan like candy?" Very sweet and delicious. ”

"Well...... It's not a nasty either. So, I'll take it. Heiwajima stuffed the candy into his pocket.

The hedgehog pursed his lips with satisfaction, and suddenly woke up to realize what he had done before, and his face turned pale.

She seemed to talk to Ernie Sauce in the same way she talked to her peers, warned him not to smoke, and gave him candy that she had hidden to steal. The candy or something hedgehog is not distressed at all, my wife and mother will buy it for her, but come to the two...... It's just rude!

"Well, I'm sorry that ...... was too arrogant or something," Ou ...... Ernie ......"

"What are you doing standing there, let's go."

At some point, Shizuo Hiwajima had already stood up and walked five steps away, and he looked back at my wife hedgehog who was standing on the spot with her back bent, like a ball of leather that had been deflated all of a sudden, she really looked like a ball of little hedgehogs, a little cute and a little cowardly that made people feel unpleasant.

"Let's go?" The hedgehog stared at the person waiting for him suspiciously, "...... Go, where to go? ”

"Sending you home."

Hedgehog remembered that her father had taught her not to walk with strangers; Do not eat food given by strangers. If a stranger is going to take you to see Mom and Dad, be sure to press the security button.

"Meow~." The cat that appeared at his feet at some point rubbed the hedgehog's shoes, and suddenly pulled the distracted hedgehog back to reality.

It is also very small and the color is three-flowered.

The fact that there would be a cat or something in front of the convenience store was something that the hedgehog didn't expect at all, but she didn't expect that there would be a cat or something on a busy street like Ikebukuro.

The hedgehog lowered his head and looked at the little guy begging for feeding in front of him in embarrassment, "No, ...... "It's dangerous to have a car here."

"Really, why are there cats here?" Someone picked up the fragile little life one step faster than the hedgehog.

Shizuo Hirajima, who had long legs, held up the little guy who was meowing with one hand, and he looked at the kitten who showed his sharp teeth in his hand, and the little guy seemed to say to him, "Bite you." ”

The hedgehog looked blankly at the person who was bitten by the kitten's fangs, shouted in pain but did not shake the cat away, this little cat was still very dishonest, and climbed up his shoulder along the arm of Heiwa Island, and tried to jump in the direction where the hedgehog was standing, but they were all defended by Shizuo Heiwajima and fished back.

"Hahaha." Looking at this big and small battle of wits and courage, the hedgehog who was poked with laughter, held his stomach and looked at Heiwajima Oni-chan who was stumped by the kitten, and said, "It, it's just hungry." ”

The hedgehog opened a mouth of milk and poured it in the palm of his hand to feed the little one, who may not have eaten for a long time. It gulped and drank the milk, eagerly stepped one paw into the milk, most of the milk was spilled on the ground, but it didn't care about licking it all, and after drinking, it seemed to be not satisfied with the hedgehog "meow~" sound.

After feeding the little guy until his stomach was round, the hedgehog looked up at the peaceful island that had been waiting for her: "Ernie-chan, can you send me home?" ”

The hedgehog believes that no one who is gentle with animals is a bad person. The words that Dad said were to define strangers as bad people, and Heiwajima Oni-chan is not a bad person, so you don't have to worry about these precautions.

"Let's go." Shizuo Heiwajima scooped up the kitten that had formed a ball on the ground, and he naturally took the bag in the hedgehog's hand and followed the hedgehog towards the direction of the hotel.

Arriving at the door of the hotel, the hedgehog thanked him, "Thank you, Heiwajima Oni-chan." She put the leftover milk into a bag, stuffed it into Shizuo Heiwajima's arms, and said, "Leave this for this child." Thank you so much for sending me back. ”

The hedgehog bowed, then turned and ran into the hotel.

She suddenly remembered something, suddenly stopped and ran back, and said to Shizuo Hiwajima, who was standing at the door and didn't leave, "It's a boy, Sanhua's male cat." After saying that, he laughed a little and ran away.

Shizuo Heiwajima didn't understand what the hedgehog was trying to say at all, he looked down at the kitten sleeping in the palm of his hand and raised an eyebrow, then turned to leave.
