On the way to Kinomoto's house, the hedgehog always felt a little strange, her heart did not beat because of nervousness as expected, but the closer she got to Kinomoto's house, the calmer it became, just like the calm before the storm.

The hedgehog was vaguely uneasy, and agreed with Yu to wait for him to come back after buying vegetables to pick him up, and then watch him leave.

The hedgehog who was left behind stood alone outside the courtyard of Kinomoto's house, and it was clear that the door was only a few steps away from her, but her feet were as heavy as if they had been poured with cement, and she couldn't move half a step at all.

Because of her long stagnation, the cats had gathered in the streets, but instead of meowing as they usually did, they approached her, and gradually gathered into a group and crouched on the far wall, hissing at her in a kind of warning.

The hedgehog subconsciously glanced behind her, the whole street was quiet, she was the only one, these cats were yelling at her?

The first time she encountered this situation, the hedgehog became more and more uneasy, but she did not intend to give up. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the courtyard door, using the door as the focus point, and pulled it hard to take herself a step forward.

There was a "click" sound, and when she stepped into the courtyard of Kinomoto's house, it was as if she had crossed some boundary, and the hedgehog heard the sound of the iron chains rubbing, and then she couldn't open her eyes when a huge wind blew in front of her. After a five-second gust of wind, the hedgehog felt lighter, and the cats around her warning her had long since disappeared.

The hedgehog, who had not noticed that the wild cat had disappeared, raised his hand to ring the doorbell.

——…… Kuro?

"Ding-dong."

The boy's feeble call was muffled by the ringing of the doorbell, and the hedgehog now looked like a child who had done something wrong and was about to apologize, standing in the doorway with his head bowed and rubbing his hands uneasily.

There was a faint sound of footsteps coming from inside the door, and the doorknob of Kinomoto's house clicked open.

The open door seemed to bring out a gust of wind, and at once it blew the hedgehog at the door to the ground. Sitting on the ground, she looked up stupidly at the startled person.

"Are you alright?" The man with an apron on his body who seemed to be cooking just now hurried out to help the hedgehog up, he checked the child who was still stupid and didn't seem to react, and was relieved to make sure that she didn't fall and was relieved, and affirmed: "It's a little hedgehog, right?" ”

"Ahh Hearing someone call his name, the hedgehog nodded sharply and replied, "Yes!" That, that...... Who are you? ”

The man narrowed his eyes and introduced himself, "My name is Kinomoto Fujitaka and I am Momoya's father. ”

"Father?"

The first time I visited, I saw Mr. Momoya's father, and although it was rude, the hedgehog couldn't help but look at the uncle in front of him curiously. Obviously at home, he was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and coffee-colored suit pants, his hair was meticulously combed, and he wore a large square glasses because of myopia, which better set off his charm as a mature adult.

It is completely different from the hedgehog's memory, sometimes wearing boxers at home, and waking up in the morning with hair that seems to have been messed up like an explosion! It's not the same as Nick, who occasionally walks around the house in a pair of trousers!

The hedgehog felt that her perception of men had been subverted once again. What about the uncle who said that he would be sloppy if no one took care of him?

"Come in, Momoya just called and said I'll be back in a while."

Hearing the voice of the patriarch's invitation, the hedgehog noticed that the other party had already entered the house, she quickly followed and closed the door, put on indoor slippers, and followed the other party into the living room to wait for Momoya to go home.

Holding the chilled orange juice, the hedgehog looked up at the person smiling at him and asked, "The ...... Is there anything you can do? ”

"Huh." Kinomoto Fujitaka chuckled a few times and explained, "I'm sorry, I can't help but think of your father when I see you, you look very similar to Jiejun." ”

"That, that, I heard my mom...... Are you your father's teacher? The hedgehog was very curious, she knew something about her mother's student days, but her father was very protective and never told her about her student days. The hedgehog asked, "That daddy ...... What was it like to be a student? ”

"Oops." Kinomoto Fujitaka was a little embarrassed, and frowned: "Saying behind your father's back that he doesn't seem to be very good?" - Well, forget it, it's okay if your daughter knows. ”

The patriarch of Kinomoto, who was hesitant one second, immediately betrayed my wife's father the next second.

The hedgehog thinks that the person in front of him must be a black-bellied person! Dad must have been teased by him before!

Kinomoto Fujitaka thought for a moment and said, "I'm your father's tutor at his university, Jiejun, the first feeling is very serious, black hair with square glasses, always wearing a white shirt and looking unrefreshed. Every time I see him, he's always learning extra knowledge, languages of various countries or boxing and the like, although he is always alone in school, but he is magically very popular, and there is basically no one in the tower and the university who doesn't know your father, and he is very good at managing interpersonal relationships. ”

"Uh-huh." The hedgehog nodded very approvingly, even her father is very popular so far, and he will know one or two people in each field.

However, the hedgehog also has a question to ask, "Uncle, why is Dad black-haired and wearing glasses?" ”

The hedgehog looks very similar to his father, the color of his hair and the color of his pupils are also the same as his, and the most important thing is that my wife's father has quite good eyesight, so good that he can see ships 6-25 kilometers away at sea, and it is super unreasonable to go to college with glasses!

As if remembering something, Kinomoto Fujitaka smiled helplessly and explained, "That's a disguise made by your father. ”

"Disguise?" The hedgehog was stunned and wondered: "Why is Dad pretending to be at school?" ”

"I don't know about it." Tenlong Kinomoto smiled helplessly. He actually knows something, but the parties concerned haven't told his daughter about these things, and it's not good for him to mention them. "I guess he probably didn't want people to know the identity of the half-blood, after all, the orange hair and green eyes are quite conspicuous."

The hedgehog accepted Fujitaka's claim that although her grandparents lived in the countryside of Japan, her grandfather was an authentic Italian. Mixed-race dad has weird orange hair. The hedgehog is glad that her mother's hair color is dark, and after the two are neutralized, her hair color is a little brown, not as conspicuous as her father.

The two talked about this, the door of Kinomoto's house was opened, and the hedgehog who heard the sound stood up, and she thought it was Momoya who had returned, and she was sitting down in a proper manner.

As a result, a little girl shouted crisply from the door: "I'm back." ”

"Welcome home."

"It's my daughter Sakura-chan who is back, Hedgehog is in the fifth grade this year, she is two years younger than you and is in the third grade." Takashi Kinomoto said, got up and went to the restaurant.

Not long after Fujitaka left, there was a running sound in the corridor, and a little girl with beads of sweat on her face and a very lively look got into the living room, her eyes were facing each other, and the little girl who came in was stunned, she had never seen a hedgehog tilted her head, and asked suspiciously: "May I ask who you are?" ”

Seeing a girl who was about the same height as herself, but two years younger than herself, the hedgehog, who had become a senior for the first time, stood up nervously and greeted: "You, hello! ”

The hedgehog's nervousness was too obvious, and the little girl intimately introduced herself first: "I'm Kinomoto Sakura, hello." ”

"I, I call my wife a hedgehog."

"My wife hedgehog?" Kinomoto Sakura always felt that she had heard this name somewhere, and after thinking about it carefully, she remembered it, not long ago, Momoya seemed to mention this name, Sakura understood, clenched her fists and slammed her palms and said, "Are you the senior of my wife who Ernie Sauce taught?" ”

"Senpai?" The hedgehog was taken aback by this sudden honorific title, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, seniors or something, just call me a hedgehog." ”

"You can call me Sakura, too. The little hedgehog is here to find Ernie sauce, right? ”

By the time Kinomoto Fujitaka came out of the restaurant with water, Sakura and Hedgehog had already shifted from Momoya to discussing the upcoming sports day.

"Daddy, thank you!" Sakura took the water glass, poured it boldly, and finally exhaled comfortably, and asked, "Dad, what do you eat at night?" Where's Ernie Sauce? Haven't come back yet? Tell the hedgehog that you haven't come back yet?! ”

Hearing Sakura's misunderstanding, the hedgehog hurriedly explained, "No, no, I came here without permission." ”

Sakura smiled at the hedgehog and said, "Then I'll forgive him this time." After saying that, he went to ask Kinomoto's father again, "Then when will Oni-chan come back?" ”

Kinomoto Fujitaka replied, "Oni-chan's words are already on the way home, and I should be home soon, and I will make fried shrimp for dinner." ”

"Is the hedgehog's dinner here? Is there anything you can't eat? ”

Kinomoto Fujitaka asked suddenly, and the hedgehog who asked was stunned, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Alas? - No, that's too much trouble, my brother will come and pick me up. She tried to refuse, but it didn't do anything to the enthusiastic Kinomoto father and daughter.

"Then even the hedgehog Oni sauce was made together, does Dad want me to help?" Sakura and Fujitaka's father are like singing double reeds, and they have a tacit understanding.

Before leaving, Kinomoto Fujitaka also said, "Sakura-chan will accompany the guests today, there is a pudding in the refrigerator." ”

"Pudding! Banzai! Sakura shouted happily and ran into the kitchen to take the pudding out.

Halfway through the pudding, the door of Kinomoto's house was opened again, and Momoya, who was returning home, walked in yawning and shouted, "I'm back." ”

Sakura's greeting was immediately heard in the living room, "Oni-chan, welcome home." ”

"Welcome home."

Hearing two greetings, followed by footsteps that were not a person's footsteps, Momoya, who was changing his shoes, was stunned, and he looked up at the door of the living room, where one was standing and one was hiding.

The hedgehog said again with some embarrassment: "Welcome home Mochiya-san." ”

"Hedgehog?" Because I haven't seen the hedgehog for a long time, I didn't receive a call that she would come to visit before, and now I suddenly saw someone Momoya was a little surprised, "Is there a problem?" ”

The hedgehog subconsciously pressed the pocket where the roll was put and hesitated.

"I'm going to help Daddy, and Ernie Sauce will take care of the hedgehog." Sakura, who had heard the hedgehog talk about the roll before, found an excuse and ran away.

After Momoya sent Sakura away, she looked at the hedgehog who seemed to be hiding something with her head hanging and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The hedgehog hesitated, took out the roll from his pocket, and explained, "That, that...... This is the test today.,I always feel like I should show Momoya San.,So,So,......" Watching Momoya take his paper, the hedgehog hung his head nervously, worried about whether such a result would make Momoya think that he wasn't serious enough.

The rewarding touch of the head lightly covered the hedgehog's head, and Momoya said, "You have worked hard." ”

The hedgehog, who had made his wish come true, was a little embarrassed to pull his two silly hairs, and smirked: "Hey, hey, the mentor also said that the hedgehog has made great progress." That, I want to ask these wrong questions by the way, there are some things that I don't understand very well. ”

"Well, I'll teach you that in a moment." Momoya said, and entered the living room with the hedgehog.

When Yu finished buying vegetables and came to pick up people, the hedgehog was learning from Momoya, and the two of them were left by the enthusiastic Kinomoto family to have a meal, and after the meal, Fujitaka personally sent them back to the Namori area.

After returning home, the hedgehog climbed into bed immediately after finishing her homework, and she soon fell asleep when she was tired.

The hedgehog in his sleep heard the shouts of a teenager who kept repeating a name,—— Kulo...... Kuro? - Kuro Rideau! From weakness to doubt, then to anger.

As if being dragged by something, the hedgehog came to a strange place.

The European-style courtyard, the very neatly trimmed plants, the fragrance of osmanthus wafted in the air, the sun's rays shone warmly, and the man in the robe sat on the white wooden chair and looked at her with a smile. He raised his hand and beckoned, as if to call her over.

The hedgehog unconsciously moved his mouth and called, "...... Kuro? ”

It's a stranger she's seeing for the first time, but it feels incredibly familiar to her.

"It's time for Kuro Afternoon Tea!" The sound of excitement came from the grass beside her, and the air seemed to fluctuate for a moment, and there was a distortion in mid-air, and a strangely dressed person fell out of it, and a young man wearing a little green hat and a red shawl seemed to flutter, and fell lightly to the ground, and after landing, he rushed over like a wind under his feet.

The young man with very cute looks and pointed ears happily jumped into the other party's arms, put his arms around his neck and waved his legs and asked, "Kulo, are you basking in the sun?" ”

"Lynn, you're getting in the way of me reading."

The young man named Lin puffed out his cheeks very dissatisfied, and said in disgust: "Read books, read books, read books, how do you know how to read books, how about coming with me to find the fairy queen?" If it were you, I'm sure the Queen would have agreed to let you enter the fairy kingdom. ”

"Do you elves like to pull people to your kingdom so much?" Kuro chuckled and continued to look through the book in his hand.

"Not really." Lin shook her head and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't say that we are so unprincipled, if it weren't for the people we fancied, we wouldn't be able to enter the country of goblins." And the current goblins are still relatively reasonable. ”

Kulo reluctantly closed the book and retorted: "With your behavior of inviting me once every two days, I really haven't seen it. ”

Lin, who failed to abduct people after being exposed, didn't care at all, changed the topic, and said with concern: "Then you can't read all day long, you see, you have glasses on, it's all because you have been reading for too long, let me treat you with a little herb, okay?" ”

"I've learned about your trick a long time ago, and I'll never get a little more of the herb you made." Kuro said, gently stroking Rin's supple orange hair, and he continued, "Your herbal add-on miracles are far greater than saving people. ”

"Tsk." Lynn jumped out of Kurlo's arms, and he jumped onto the rose bed. Leaping up, floating in the air, he bowed his head to the man who was still sitting: "Kuro is really boring here, I'm going to have some fun." ”

Looking at the people who were about to leave after coming to visit, Kuro hurriedly warned, "Rin, don't get too close to the human world. ”

"Yes, I see." Lynn waved her hand and disappeared into the twist.

The hedgehog waited quietly for everything to happen before she stepped up to the robed man and whispered, "Kuro? ”

"Huh?" The person who thought there would be no response raised his head, he looked at the person in front of him and smiled slightly, "I'm a little surprised that you're here." ”

The hedgehog asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't I come here?" ”

Kuro shook his head, "No, it's too early, it's too early for you. Maybe this is the inevitability that Yuzi said. The seal has been loosened, you can't escape it, I can't escape it, no matter what lies ahead, I'll protect you, Lin. ”

"Lynn? Who is it? The hedgehog was puzzled, she felt that the name was very familiar from just now, and every time she heard it, she always felt a sense of excitement in her heart.

But Kuro denied it: "No, you heard me wrong, my name is Hedgehog." ”

"But I'm obviously ......" The hedgehog didn't understand why Kuro was lying, and the question that rolled to her mouth was swallowed back by her when she saw Kuro's serious expression.

Immediately afterward, she changed the question and asked, "Are I friends with Kuro?" I always feel ...... It's familiar. ”

"Well, I'm a best friend that the hedgehog has never met, or I should say obsession is better." Kulo said, and took out a small silver flute with carved hollows that would obviously affect the sound quality from the pocket of his clothes, and he gently blew the flute, and the crisp and ethereal sound came out of the flute, and the exaggerated carving did not affect the sound quality it should have at all.

Kuro put the flute down and explained, "This is a flute that is driven by a special ability for you. With that, he handed the flute to the hedgehog.

"For me? But I ...... There is no music at all. The hedgehog took the flute in confusion and, with the encouragement of Kulo, gently blew a note.

The flute made a screeching sound, and a force was tearing something apart with a loud bang.

The young man in a red backless sleeveless shirt with armor on his legs stood not far away, the shadow of his orange hair covering half of his face, he looked at the hedgehog covering his ears due to the noise, smiled and whispered: "The light of the sun, the shadow of the silver moon, the protection of the fairy queen opens the way for our people." 166 Reading Network
