It's been more than half a year since Rika built this palace, and she spends most of her time in Konoha except for going back to the Daimyo's Mansion for the New Year. No, it's only been a month after the New Year, and she said that she was going to Konoha again.

This made his brother Xiude very dissatisfied, and he didn't have anything to do in the Daimyo Mansion on weekdays, and he went to Konoha Village to be powerful. Although Rika repeatedly argues that she didn't do anything excessive in Konoha, Hidetoku still verbally proposes to her parents to strengthen her discipline for her sister.

It's a pity that compared to the eldest son Xiude, the youngest daughter Lixiang is obviously more favored. The daimyo has an attitude of "I can do whatever my sweetheart and soul baby wants, and no one wants to make her unhappy", and Shijimi made no secret of her impatience with her eldest son: "Xiude, the way I discipline my daughter is to let her do her own thing, if you have an opinion, keep it for the future to discipline your daughter." ”

Xiude was angry.

"I think that's what the mother said." Arashi said suddenly.

Xiude looked at his wife, who never took the initiative to express her opinion, a little surprised, and Arashiko lowered her eyes slightly.

"Look," Shijimi pouted, "Arashi is much more sensible than you. ”

At that moment, Xiude wondered if there was some monster at work in this family. Parents and sisters aside, even this wife whom he has chosen thousands of times, who used to have the same three views as him, is becoming more and more like his parents and sisters.

There must be a monster at work.

Xiude seemed to have a big stone pressed in his heart, and he didn't want to say more, so he turned around and walked towards the door. If you don't hurry up and find a wide courtyard to breathe, he's really going to be.

"Hidetoku," the daimyo called out, "you still have a long way to go before you become a good monarch." ”

Xiudeok turned his head and glared at his father - obviously he was the least qualified to say this!

At dinner, Xiude did not show up, and the chief of the guard said to send someone to look for him, but was stopped by the daimyo: "No need, he is such a big person, he knows where to eat." As he spoke, he kept putting vegetables into the pear bowl, and his eyebrows were full of his father's doting.

The head of the guard, Michi, couldn't help but sigh secretly: It seems that the heir of the Fire Country, who has a high prestige among his retainers, really has no status in his own family.

Faced with the absence of her eldest son, Shijimi didn't care much about it, and only said to Arashiko: "You didn't do anything wrong, and you don't have to feel guilty even in front of Hidetoku." ”

Lanzi smiled slightly, sighed and said as if talking to herself, "I may have to live up to His Highness Xiude's expectations." ”

At the beginning of February, when the night was bitterly cold, Rika was draped in a thick layer of feathering, and found her brother sitting in a gazebo blowing the cold wind in an inconspicuous courtyard.

The candlelight in the lamp niche flickered, reflecting the dead branches and leaves in the courtyard, and Xiude's figure was particularly lonely.

"There's nothing to eat." Rika spoke.

Xiude's eyes looked behind his sister: "You have been afraid of the cold since you were a child, you don't stay in your own house, why do you run out alone at night?" ”

Rika walked into the gazebo: "Passing by, can't you?" ”

Speaking of which, the two most honorable siblings in the Fire Nation really never had a heart-to-heart conversation.

For a while, only the chirping of insects that refused to hibernate could be heard in the courtyard.

After a long time, Xiude finally couldn't help but persuade his sister again: "You are 21 years old this year, can you be sensible and do what you should do?" Stop messing around. ”

Rika looked at him quietly: "Are you tired?" ”

Xiude was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you can be sensible, I won't be so tired." As soon as the conversation box opened, a lot of words naturally poured out: "I know what you are going to do in Konoha, Kakashi-kun, you just give up, keep stubbornly entangled like something, let you and him both return to their original life tracks, okay." After so many years, you should also understand that some things are impossible and impossible, and what should not be done is not done. ”

Listening to these familiar words, Rika suddenly felt very angry: "What I don't understand is my brother, a person's life track is not born fixed. You don't know anything at all, you just put on a condescending face and say, I'll ignore you! ”

Rika flicked her sleeves and snorted: "You haven't even thought about turning "impossible" into "possible", no wonder your father said that you are still far from a good monarch!" After saying that, he left in a rage.

Xiude watched her back disappear into the night, and said that her heart has grown in the past few years, why do you still say that she loses her temper? Xiudegu shook his head and sighed.

Alas, these two brothers and sisters really can't talk from the bottom of their hearts.

***

Since he no longer regarded Princess Rika's "like" as a burden and relieved himself of the responsibility of "persuading lost girls", Kakashi suddenly became lighter, as if the whole world suddenly opened up.

Even the wildflowers and weeds growing indiscriminately on the roadside seem to be becoming more and more vibrant.

"You should have done this a long time ago," the girl ate a spoonful of ice cream with pleasure, and her tone was a little contemptuous and a little hateful, "I really don't know what you were struggling with before." ”

The young man beside her stared at her with dead fish eyes and looked down at her: "...... It's easy to say. Suddenly, the conversation changed: "As a princess of a country, is it really okay for you to eat ice cream while walking on the street?" Let's take care of the image a little bit. ”

The princess of the Land of Fire is now dressed in a gorgeous purple kimono with several bracelets made of gold wire wrapped around her wrists, which are inlaid with jade jewels. Unsuspecting people thought she was going to attend some important banquet, but they saw her wandering slowly through the streets of Konoha with a cup of ice cream. The clogs made a slight crunch on the stone floor.

Hearing this, Rika smiled at him: "As a princess of a country, I can do anything." "If you have the ability, go to the monarch to impeach her for her moral corruption, hum.

The young man gave up an in-depth discussion with her on the topic of "the rights and duties of princesses", which would never be conclusive. Hawkers, she has parents and brothers, and she has a famous teacher and tutor, so it's not his turn to teach, right? Besides, these etiquette and image are not a big deal, and the first technician decided not to worry about it.

Along the way, tour groups from neighboring villages passed by, and tourists excitedly waved and shouted "Hagi-san" and "Princess-sama" to greet them, Kakashi raised his right hand in response, and Rika nodded meaningfully. For Rika, who has been in the limelight since she was a child, this situation has long been used to it.

The tourists did not bother much, saluted Lixiang and went straight to the outer wall of the palace to take pictures.

Nowadays, the quality of tourists is getting higher and higher. Kakashi couldn't help but sigh, remembering that two years ago, there was a ninja from another country who was known as a super fan of "Rikako and Kasei's story", and the third watch came to the door in the middle of the night with a stack of pink books to ask him for an autograph, causing him to almost clean up as a sneak attack enemy ninja. Usually walking on the road, there will occasionally be radical fans who ask him indignantly why he didn't hold a signing party, and he didn't give a signed photo after buying so many copies.

Kakashi felt so innocent - he didn't write this book, what kind of signing party he was doing! Which bookseller would dare to use his photo as a giveaway, he immediately set a fire and ran away!!

Not long ago, I met Ziraiya on the way to the mission.,There's no serious clam.。 The Toad Immortal sighed with schadenfreude on his face, "Kakashi, your reputation in the literary world is about to surpass mine, it's really terrifying." He suggested on the spot that the two of them should join forces to pull out the mastermind behind the writing of this little pink book and throw it into the Konoha interrogation room, but unfortunately this proposal was not approved by Jiraiya.

"Konoha has a lot more tourists than before." Rika's voice brought the young man's thoughts back to his eyes.

The silver-haired young man raised his eyes and looked at the palace that seemed to be carved out of huge gold nuggets, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried: "Thank you." ”

Rika showed a look of disconnectedness.

Kakashi looked at her from the corner of his eye for a long time, and said coldly, "You quarreled with Shutokusan?" ”

Rika digs ice cream for a meal.

The young man watched her expression change, and continued: "It's not difficult to guess, you have a tense face from time to time when you come back from the Daimyo's Mansion, and the only one in the whole country who can quarrel with you is Xiu Desan." ”

"No, you guessed it wrong." A bit muffled sound.

The first technician with first-class ability to observe words and colors blinked: "This time the quarrel is serious? ”

"I didn't say it was noisy!" Rika glared at him with a puffed face.

Then Kakashi's large palm covered her face, just as her face was small enough to be covered by the young man's palm. Then I heard the young man say, "You are so fierce that you will scare children." ”

There were really children giggling and bouncing by.

After five seconds, the young man let go of his hand and said with some surprise, "Princess, your face looks so small, but it's actually quite fleshy." ”

Rika wanted to glare at him angrily but couldn't help laughing, reached out and pinched his cheek along with the mask: "Doesn't your face have flesh?" ”

"Don't make a fuss," the young man pulled her hand down, "be careful in public." ”

Rika finished the last bite of ice cream, looked at the trash can a little far away, and directly stretched out the empty cup in front of the young man.

Kakashi: "You don't want to take two more steps to throw out the garbage without a maid?" As he spoke, he took it, and waved his big hand casually - bang, the hit rate was 100 percent.

The pear incense clapped twice.

To hell with the "original life track", she feels that the current track is very correct, and if she keeps going, she may really be able to reach the future she is looking forward to.

Also, Kakashi finally gave up his strange obsession of "refusing to accept anyone's liking".

Do you want her to give up at this time? Don't dream!!

Thinking about it like this, Rika's mood finally improved.
