Giggles, gurgles, the sound of small children's laughter came from the house, echoing under the dark sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A vigorous flame is burning in the fireplace, which evaporates the moisture from the humid air and transfers its own heat from the air to all parts of the house.

Kenjiro sat on a chair by the fireplace, enjoying the dry and warm feeling of the fireplace while looking around at the house where the family of three had lived.

"When was it built? It was not long after I got married, when I was still a small unambitious teacher, and with the help of relatives and friends, I finally settled here and built my own house. ”

"Thinking about that time, it was really bitter, and the whole country of rain was bitter. Fish and shrimp are eaten almost all month long, and what I want to eat most at that time is white rice, followed by a bowl of hot broth. After staying up for so long, now I finally wait until the days are better, and I can see white rice every day at home...... But the war is coming......"

He saw a wooden panel painting hanging on the wall, and his eyes were immediately intrigued. He stood up and fumbled with the hollowed-out planks, which were ingeniously pieced together the three figures and the outline of the house, and there was a feeling of happiness just by looking at the outline.

Kenjiro's eyes moistened.

"Nadeshiko was still pregnant at that time, but she had to drag her body every day to make dozens of board paintings to supplement the family. Obviously, I swore an oath, I swore that I would never let Nadeshiko suffer with me again! Obviously vowed to let the family of three live the life in Nadeshiko's painting forever!

"And Xiao Nan, she is an angel for the two of us. It was only after having her that we truly felt happy...... But, but! “

"But why! Why should there be war? Why, why, why! “

"Peace...... Isn't it good......"

Kenjiro clenched his fists tightly, and a feeling of powerlessness welled up inside.

This place, which holds all his warm memories, will be abandoned by him tomorrow.

Wars, wars, wars, all because of the wars provoked by those great powers, all because of them! Because they ...... The days of his family of three and harmony will be ruined!

Kenjiro gasped for breath as the warm and happy laughter of Konan and Nadeshiko came from the kitchen.

"At least...... This last time should be spent happily with your family. ”

"Then, live, take them alive, try to live. Absolutely, absolutely, with them alive! ”

Patting his cheek, Kenjiro smiled, and he said loudly, "Ha, you guys are so happy?!" I'm going to grill fish too, and I'm going to show off my cooking skills today! “

Xiao Nan giggled: "Dad, Mom said that the dish you made was the most unpalatable!" ”

"Haha! It was when Mom was jealous of Dad, and Dad's cooking was the best. Come, Xiao Nan, take two tomatoes. Today we had a good meal, we didn't eat fish and shrimp or anything, we ate beef and vegetables! ”

The sound of laughter filled the empty house, and the warm flames danced, expelling the oppressive dullness outside.

……

"Captain, this house is in a good location, is that okay?"

"Well, here it is. Be careful, don't make strange noises, and it will be troublesome for people to find out. ”

"Understood."

Under the gloomy sky, without making a sound, four dark shadows sneaked into the house in front of them.

The wooden houses are painted with waterproof and moisture-repellent paint, and the warm colors separate the inside from the outside, as if they were two worlds.

On the walls, small and interesting ornaments adorn it. There are small wooden animals and paper cranes folded from hard paper, each of which exudes a fresh and pleasant smell.

In the kitchen, Kenjiro, who was playing with Konan, suddenly seemed to feel something, and an uncontrollable sense of depression rose in his heart.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Xiao Nan tilted his head and asked.

"Ah," Kenjiro woke up from that strange feeling, "nothing! Dad was in a daze just now, haha, I thought of when I was young! “

"When Dad was younger? Is it with my mother? Xiao Nan asked curiously, "How did Dad and Mom know each other?" Did you know each other from birth? “

Nadeshiko covered her mouth and chuckled, "How come, I met my dad in a ramen restaurant!" “

Konan's big eyes flickered, and he looked at Kenjiro and Nadeshiko with curiosity.

Kenjiro touched his head in embarrassment, as if thinking of the scene back then. He looked at Nadeshiko, his eyes full of tenderness.

"My mother and I worked at the same ramen restaurant and then ......"

Suddenly, a chill rose in Kenjiro's heart, and in his sight, Nadeshiko's face was full of astonishment and fear, and behind Nadeshiko, a black shadow was standing, and the cold cold light bloomed in the black shadow's hand.

Death swung its scythe, the blade already on Kenjiro's neck.

Bite!

Two crisp sounds sounded, and the two newly joined members of the Heavenly Squad looked at Ming Yuan in amazement.

Just now, they were already behind Kenjiro and Nadeshiko. Kill these two adults and kill the little girl, and they will be able to take their place and spend the remaining three days here.

However, just as they were about to swing the kunai, Ming Yuan instantly blocked the attack of the two of them.

"Stay alive." Ming Yuan said softly, "In case their friends come to visit, our transformation technique may be revealed. “

When the two members heard this, they realized that they would have to stay here for three or four days, which is indeed very possible.

"If something happens, they must have thought about the lives of their families before they say anything. Right, sir, ma'am? Ming Yuan's gaze swept over the frightened Konan, and swept around Kenjiro and Nadeshiko's bodies.

Kenjiro and Nadeshiko, who had just reacted and were about to shout for help, froze suddenly, and their eyes turned to each other, and then moved to Konan's body.

Kenjiro stiffened, suppressing the thought of fighting the intruder.

"No, no, no! Xiao Nan, Nadeshiko, you must not let them have an accident! “

Silent, Kenjiro nodded.

Ming Yuan smiled and waved his hand, and the members of the two heavenly teams slowly retreated vigilantly.

"I'm afraid we'll all have to bother us for the next few days, gentleman. Presumably you wouldn't refuse, and you wouldn't want to do something weird to cause us trouble, would you? “

Kenjiro clenched his fists and nodded again.

Ming Yuan smiled and squatted down and touched Xiao Nan's head, which was in fear.

"Don't! Don't hurt her! Kill me, kill me if you want to kill me! “

"Kill me! Don't hurt my family! “

Kenjiro and Nadeshiko's pupils dilated instantly, their daughter was in danger, and it was impossible for them to be indifferent even if they died at this moment! Desperate, the two rushed towards Xiao Nan, but were restrained by the two team members.

Ming Yuan shook his head slightly, and the two members of the Heavenly Squad suppressed their thoughts of wanting to kill, and Ming Yuan walked away from Xiao Nan, looking at Kenjiro and Nadeshiko who stumbled to protect Xiao Nan behind him.

He smiled, "Don't be nervous, I just wanted to ask the little girl's name." You two, you should be able to tell me this. Or, little sister, will you tell your brother yourself? “

Xiao Nan trembled and said, "Xiao Nan, my name is Xiao Nan." Big brother, please, don't hurt mom and dad! If you want to hit the palm of your hand, just hit Xiao Nan's palm! “

A hint of clarity flashed in Ming Yuan's eyes, and it was really Xiao Nan.

"I didn't expect that one of the founders of the future Xiao organization is still an ignorant child."
