――――――――――――――――

Fujiwara Meihong is fourteen years old, she has grown a lot taller, but her body still looks thin.

She wore a white patched cloth dress, had short chic hair, and a slightly pale and delicate little face, often with a strong and kind smile. Her spirit is very healthy, like a grass growing in the wind and rain, a person who grows in suffering, never ashamed of the great world she grew up in.

But now, her expression looked a little restrained.

For she had been brought to a spacious and noble house, and of course it was not the gold and silver that hung on the walls of the house, nor the silk that adorned the tables and chairs, but the one who was about to appear in the room, her father, his own father, Fujiwara, and so on.

The man who brought her told her about it and told her to pay attention to etiquette.

In the past, Mei Hong only knew how to be a wild girl, and she didn't know anything about the etiquette of high society, but now, under the teaching of Song - although it was a very clumsy instruction - she is also familiar with etiquette.

"What kind of man is my father?" Waiting quietly, Mei Hong guessed in her heart while reviewing the etiquette to be used for a while. As a poor child who hasn't seen her father for 14 years, Mei Hong's heart is intertwined with two contradictory emotions of expectation and worry, and the imagination of the future makes her both yearn for and frighten.

"I hope to make a good impression on my father!" As soon as such a thought came to her mind, Mei Hong heard footsteps coming from her side.

It was the crunch of clogs striking the floor, crisp and bright, but still steady and composed.

Mei Hong looked into the passage on the side of the room, and a tall, thin middle-aged man walked in. He wore a white kimono with a black belt around his waist and a crown hat tied around his head, which was also black. The man's face was solemn, with a peaceful and neutral complexion, and a kind smile on his face.

This...... Probably her father! Mei Hong's heart swelled with a blood-related kindness, and strangeness that arose for some reason.

Some hurriedly put her hands on her trouser legs, Mei Hong bowed to the man who came over, her voice trembling a little uncontrollably, "Father, I ...... Under is Fujiwara sister red. ”

Mei Hong noticed that the man in front of her stopped in front of her, but she still maintained a forty-five degree forward appearance, and did not dare to stand up straight easily. At this moment, the thought of wanting her father to recognize herself occupied Meihong's mind, making her stiff and her mind chaotic. Well...... After all, he's just a child!

"That's it." Fujiwara's voice was low and composed, and although it was soft, it had an irresistible majesty.

"......" Sister Hong stood up straight in a trance, looking at the man in front of her and the kind smile on his face, she didn't know what to say for a while.

"You're not having a good time!" Bubi waited to stare at Mei Hong for a while, then suddenly sighed and said.

"Huh? Yes...... Well, my father and I have been doing well. Mei Hong felt as if her mind was blocked by a stone, and every word she said could no longer be thought about.

"Alas...... You're really having a bad time! Bubi's expression became self-reproachful, but the words became more and more unquestionable, "It's all my fault." Because I really don't care about your mother and daughter, but this is also a matter of necessity, and for the sake of the honor of our Fujiwara family, I have to let you suffer some grievances. ”

"But, sister Hong," a smile suddenly appeared on Bu Wait's face, which was with a shallow smug smile, and was covered by kindness, "I still care about you very much, I still love you very much, even if I can't see you for many years, it's a last resort, in fact, I have always wanted to take care of you, but I can only secretly send you money." Of course, because it can only be done secretly, your mother still has to work hard. All in all, this concern alone speaks volumes about what a good father I am. Sister Hong, please think about the spacious courtyard where your family lives, I have been trying to fulfill my father's duties, just to be able to call you a daughter in the light at this moment. ”

Listening to the words, Mei Hong, who should have been very moved, was full of complex emotions in her heart, and wanted to sort out the logic between the words, but her muddy mind could no longer support her to think more. So, she nodded her head in approval with joy as she wished, but instinct secretly disgusted her.

"When you understand my love for you, you will understand me completely and forgive my sins." "Do you know why you are seeing me now? Do you know why I can see you now? Because I have finally convinced the old diehards in the family that I have made them recognize your status, I have prepared a gift for this meeting of ours, and that is a gift for you. ”

"Really, father?" Mei Hong put her previous disgust behind her, she looked at the man in front of her who was smiling kindly, and took the strange feeling before as an illusion - she really didn't want to guess him as a villain with bad intentions.

"Hmmm! When you hear this news, your heart must be filled with joy! No, when he narrowed his eyes and smiled, he smiled brighter, "It can make you feel happy, and my mood is very comfortable!" So, accept this gift! Mei Hong, from now on, you will be a nobleman, not a concubine, nor an unworthy title, you will be a real nobleman in the future. How's it going, do you feel happy? ”

Meihong wanted to laugh, wanted to respond to the expectations of the people, and cheered happily, but she couldn't laugh at all.

"What's the matter, don't you like it? This is an honor that countless people have to catch up with in their dreams? My daughter, why are you so stupid? Do you really not like this gift? Bubi put away his smile, his face was expressionless, and he looked solemnly at the girl who was also looking at him in a daze.

Mei Hong, who grew up in poverty, understands a truth, nobles can never stand on the side of justice, and she, who claims to be a partner of justice, can she say things against her will? Of course not. However, she looked at the man in front of her, it was obviously a heartfelt expectation, could she refuse her father's kindness? Likewise not. Therefore, Mei Hong, who is still not an adult, can only stand in a daze, silently, without saying a word.

"Alas......" sighed heavily, "After all, it is because I didn't educate you well, you must know, sister Hong, it is a good thing to become a nobleman, because in this way you will be far away from poverty, away from ugliness, away from dirty, you will become a person of man, accompanied by worry-free." Forget it, since you're still young, let's not talk about it. I heard that you have a teacher, is it true? ”

“…… Well! After hesitating for a moment, Mei Hong nodded in response.

"Why did she become your teacher? You can't afford a third person! ”

"Hmm...... The music came out of nowhere, and besides, the music doesn't have to eat! ”

"You don't have to eat, is it a youkai?" It's not like waiting for a change in face.

"Socai is not a monster!! Retorting with some excitement, Mei Hong suddenly realized her gaffe and continued in a low voice: "I'm sorry...... However, Kana is a god, she is a god. ”

"God?" Bubi showed a funny expression, "Then, sister Hong!" I want to meet your teacher, and I want to treat her to dinner. ”

"Why ......" halfway through the sentence, Mei Hong closed her mouth a little restrainedly.

"Because I want to thank her so much, after all, she takes such good care of my daughter!"

As he spoke, he smiled the kind smile he had at the beginning.
