64. Extra-three Ophelia
"Happy Birthday! Traces! β
As soon as Keigo walked in the door, he was sprayed with a happy ribbon on his head.
A small yellow ribbon stuck to the tip of his nose, and it wasn't until he exhaled expressionlessly that it fell from the air, and Uncle Jibe immediately swept the human species squatting in the entrance from left to right.
Mukaigaku and Akutagawa Jiro squatted on the ground with their heads tilted with their eyes shining, obviously responsible for spraying from the bottom up. The tallest, Bunchotaro and the second-tallest, Shinobu Yushi, stood on the steps of the wooden floor, still holding their arms high. Ryo Shishido and Hiyoshiruo are normal postures, but everyone else has sprayed them and it's over, only Hiyoshirua clicked and sprayed exactly a lot of Keigo four or five times on his face, and he had a good boy expression of "I'm sorry for my slippery hand".
For the first time in his life, he enjoyed such a simple and naΓ―ve birthday celebration, Keigo Jibe was simply "ecstatic", he looked at the happy mentally handicapped children under his command, and could only recognize the reality and sneered, "Huh? You're so ......."
For such a line with no new ideas, everyone picked up the conversation in unison and without suspense-
"Gorgeous!"
"Huh~~~"
- And again! It's very faceless! and the earth was scattered as birds and beasts.
Xiang Riyue jumped up from the ground and kicked the crook of the squatting legs, but accidentally almost kicked Hiyoshiruo, who had just succeeded in defeating Uncle Jibu, to his knees, provoking the other party to almost commit another offense. Akutagawa Jiro seemed to feel comfortable squatting, and he didn't stand up for a while, as if he was developing a new squatting method to fall asleep. Ryo Shishido casually placed the bottle of the happy ribbon on the cabinet next to him, and sat back on the sofa with Toyo Nagataro to watch the tennis broadcast on TV.
Uncle Shou Xing Trace Department: "......"
β¦β¦ Why didn't Uncle Ben destroy these shameful things earlier?
"My Yorkshire pudding is almost baked! I'll check it out! Zhen Ji waved his hand at the ninja foot Yushi, and unladylike kicked off the slippers he was wearing on the floor of the entrance, and roared to check the oven, "Yushi, take Brother Jingwu to sit down!" β
Shinobu Shinobu put his left hand behind his back very formally, leaned forward slightly, turned half of his body sideways, and crossed an arc with his right hand in front of him, and greeted him solemnly: "Thank you for your appreciation." β
His Majesty glanced at him coldly, and then took the birch to visit the Shinobu family.
The address of the Ninja Yu Shi apartment, he knew it when he checked the real season information during the spring break of the first year of high school. Later, he even helped Zhenji order a few meals, but he came here in person, and it was the first time in two years. Keigo Jibe took a look around, and had to admit that even if so many messy people came in, the house was still clean, and it was quite simple and comfortable at a glance. The door to the master bedroom is ajar, and the side bedroom belonging to the girl is tightly closed.
It's barely in line with his aesthetics.
It was the second semester of the Higher Division of the Ice Emperor Academy.,Their last national competition also ended in the summer vacation.γ
The five third-year students have retired, and Keigo Keibe has entrusted the burden of the minister to Hiyoshiro again at the first club event at the beginning of the second semester. Fortunately, Hiyoshiruo and Feng Chotaro had experience of cooperation as early as the third year of the country, and now they have the manager of Maji, who guarantees a lot of cumbersome worries, so this handover is very smooth. This year's first-year level is also quite good, and it is expected that he will continue to compete for the national championship next year.
Unlike the temporary separation of the kingdoms, this gathering is likely to be a real separation.
So although this is a party under the name of Keigo's birthday, it is likely that they will have their last group party before graduation. After all, third-year candidates are going to enter the sprint stage from this semester, and then they are running around to take mock exams at various universities.
Soon after Keigo arrived, today's dish was finished. Because the dining table in the apartment is only for family use, it is not very large, since there are many people, I simply put the plates directly on the coffee table in the living room. The people of Xiang Riyue did not regard themselves as outsiders at all, and the big lama dragged the benches in the study and dining room to serve as tables, and they were also full.
Keigo Kibe glanced at the active Little Red Riding Hood and asked as if unintentionally, "Xiangri, why are you so familiar with the Shinobi Family?" β
"I often come to copy ......" Xiang Riyue smelled the smell of French fries coming from the kitchen, and his mind was already fluttering, and when he heard someone ask him a question, he blurted out the fact that he almost died. Suddenly reacted and saw the dangerous gaze of Keigo Shibu, not only did he cover his mouth with one hand, but he was also afraid that Ryo Shishido would leak secrets viciously, so he bent his waist and turned his back to him, and smashed straight to the sofa.
"Yue ...... Person...... You're going to die!! "Originally, he was chatting with Feng Chotaro on the sofa, but he was almost avoided by Ryo Shishido, who was sitting on his face, but inevitably, he was almost really crushed. He forgot for a while to report to Keigo the trace department about the heinous crime of copying homework from Higaku, but reflexively picked up Higaku from under his armpit, threw him on the sofa, held him down, and beat him mercilessly.
The predecessors of the sun who demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall: ...... The baby's heart is bitter. o(β₯οΉβ₯)o
Xiang Riyue, who was beaten and hurt all over his body, only then did he react, not to mention that he had changed his face and studied hard, and now Keigo was no longer his top boss, so he couldn't control his head at all! This was completely a pitiful self-help reaction to live under the trace of Keigo Lewd Power for six years, so he immediately launched a fierce revenge in full swing-
When the roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, which was obviously prepared for Keigo Keibe, was brought to the table, and Higaku swished to show off his stunt tennis lightness, he poked half of the coffee cup-shaped pudding away, hum, tell you to eat!
Maki, who came to deliver the food, saw that Keigo only appreciated a pitying fool look from the people of Xiang Riyue, and his members really couldn't say that they were afraid of him. Because even if he lent a few hundred bear bile to Kuse's classmates, Ryota Kase didn't dare to snatch food in front of Seishiro Akaji.
Crispy willow leaf fish, chicken cheese rolls, wet pancakes, boiled lamb with white radish, and kelp mixed with natto, everyone ordered the dishes on a plate, and only after the last dish of wormwood tofu was served, did Maki throw the apron aside.
Since today is a celebration of Keigo's birthday, of course you can't let Uncle bring his own cake. Originally, I was going to order it, but there was an oven at home, and Maki thought that the cake-making skills he had learned from the Mori language were not bad, so he baked a tiramisu cake by hand in advance. As for other things like candles and birthday hats, Xiang Riyue said that his eldest sister Xiang Hi Luno had just celebrated her birthday, and she thought these things were too naΓ―ve to use, so she happened to carry them from home.
That pink birthday hat, at a glance, you know that Uncle Jibu will not cooperate.
But everyone undeniably wants to see this excitement, so they are very strategic to praise him for the real season. Maki also vividly performed a pitiful expression of pursing his lips, and Keigo Keibe was finally speechless, and defaulted to Maki grinning and pressing the small pointed hat with a bow on his purple-gray head.
This is definitely the least flashy birthday Keigo has ever had.
Of course, the handmade cake is not as exquisite as the high-end customization, and when the cake was taken out of the heart-shaped mold, it accidentally cut the edges, so a small cut was missing. The cocoa powder on the surface was unusually flat, and with Keigo's keen insight, he instantly deduced that this eighty percent was helped by a person with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The birthday candles that were inserted with all hands and feet were also crooked and twisted so that I couldn't bear to look at them directly.
Probably because he felt that the piety of this cake was really limited, it only took Keigo Keibe five seconds to make a wish.
It wasn't until after dinner that the necessary items for the student party, playing card activities such as the Game of Kings, began that Maki realized that Keigo Keibe was very similar to Seijuro Akaji in this regard, and they rarely participated in the private entertainment activities of the members, such as the summer swimming afternoon tea series during the summer vacation of their first grade.
It's not that I haven't had dinner with Keigo Keibe, but most of them go to eat meat together after the game.
Sure enough, it's the so-called responsibility.,Thinking of the heavy course when Seijuro Akaji was young.,Maki can guess the preciousness of Keigo's time in the deji department.γ
He also embodied the buff of the pride of the sky in this rarely participated king game.
No. 5 (Ninja Yushi) was poured a bowl of natto to the point that his face was colorless, and he completely lost the genius style of the past, and No. 8 (Xianghigaku) was almost broken when the princess was ordered to hold No. 1 (Takahiro Birchi). Almost everyone was once, but after several rounds of play, no one caught Keigo Jibe.
The evil door has to make the comrades of the tennis department have to think about the credible Cheng dΓΉ of the mantra of the uncle, who has always been regarded as a deaf ear.
- "I am a king! (I am the king!) οΌ
β¦β¦ So, if he is really the king, no one can order him? I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen!!
In the last round, when Feng Chotaro was the "king", the Ice Emperor Conscience Jun said the most amiable order of the afternoon, and he scratched his fluffy gray hair, "That...... Just wrestle your wrists with No. 7 and No. 2. β
"Chotaro! You're too inferior! Shishido Liang, who had just danced a ballet, indignantly taught the gentle juniors a lesson, such a group of rough men, wrenching their wrists or something is not much harder than breathing!
But I didn't expect that No. 2, who raised his hand weakly, was the only girl on the scene, and what was even more terrifying was that-
No. 7 is Keigo Keibe! Finally got him!
β¦β¦ Although it happens to be such a small fresh command.
Keigo Keibe put his elbow on the table very gracefully, and Maki, of course, did not lag behind, and slapped his palm in a chic manner. This is almost a battle with no suspense, because I know with my toes that it is impossible for a girl to beat a super college tennis player. But how could Keigo Keibe really compete with her on this? I'm afraid it's normal to flash into her arm.
"Huh? Hands of both of you...... Am I dazzled? Wrong! Look! It's really the same!! β
Originally, the onlookers of this fancy water release were of very limited value, but with the exclamation of Xiang Riyue, everyone focused on the hands of these two people, and they all swayed their heads to look left and right.
The girl's palm is more than one size smaller than Keigo, not to mention the strength of the competition, just holding it so quietly will be wrapped in the palm of his hand. But when they looked closer, they found that the proportions of the joints of their fingers were exactly the same as the contours of their nails, so small that even the half-moon marks on each nail were about the same.
Maki herself found out for the first time, she pulled out her hand, and grabbed Keigo's palm again, and he let her break it like this, not caring at all that his hand was being fiddled with from side to side like a toy. The girl almost held his right hand in her arms, and for a moment she pressed her thumb to observe his palm prints, and then pinched his middle finger with two fingers and broke it outward.
Keigo Keibe knew everything about her thoughts, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he stared at the girl who was trying to find an answer.
She wanted to see if the softness of his fingers could bend into a quarter arc.
- Yes, it is.
Because he is all too familiar with his body, and their similarity in this point is unquestionable.
Maki soon found out about this, and she was surprised to meet Keigo Keibe's gaze. She originally thought that she was a typical Akaji clan except for the dimples that resembled her grandmother, but she didn't expect that after two generations, she could still have such a striking resemblance to Keigo Kibe.
It's a magical kinship.
After the after-dinner game, the group lazily watched TV together for a while, and then packed up their things and said goodbye. A few people in the third grade were busy in the promotion season, of course, it was impossible to play all day in frenzy, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the real season sent them all to the door of the apartment.
It was rare for Takahiro to leave with the rest of the people, while Keigo Keibe stood still, leisurely glancing at the red maple forest in the southeast corner of the apartment, and said to Maki, "The scenery is good, accompany me to have a look." β
"Huh?" Maki nodded, "Okay." β
After receiving the reply, Keigo immediately gestured to the shinobi with his chin domineering, "Shinobi, you go up and clean up." β
Aunt Cleaning Ren Zujun: "...... Okay, Majesty. I see, Your Majesty. β
In late autumn in October, the flaming red maple forests are dazzling.
From time to time, red maple leaves swayed and fell from the branches, and then a gust of wind surged from the depths of the woods, causing the fallen leaves to fly along a certain trajectory and pass by the red-haired girl, as if they were rolling and floating, quietly building a mottled time tunnel.
"Do you want to come with me?"
Hearing Keigo's words, Maki turned around in confusion.
He looked at her with a relaxed demeanor, but his gaze was staring directly at her.
"In a year, going to university in the UK?"
Maki grinned and pouted, silently expressing his answer.
Although Keigo Jibe didn't mention it casually, he obviously expected this ending, "Maki, you've almost decided to study business, right?" β
This is indeed a decision that Maji has made after a year of consideration and consultation, and she feels that she does not have any outstanding talent in the direction of professional technology, but has a little experience in business management. In fact, when she was in Diguang at that time, it was still Seijuro Akaji who asked her to work as the manager of logistics management. She only entered the club in the second year of the country, which means that as soon as she comes in, she has to shoulder the responsibility of the senior sister, and the Diguang Basketball Club is a strong club with nearly 200 members. At that time, she had no management experience and hesitated, but Seijuro Akaji lightly concluded that "there is nothing to worry about".
Zhen Ji put his hands behind his back, turned around in a circle, and said with a flat smile: "Yes, I want to take the entrance examination to Dongda University." β
This is also the target school for the Shinobu Warrior, and Keigo Keibe's choice of the Ice Emperor's genius is clear in his chest. He didn't say anything more, but raised his eyebrows and smiled, and the tear mole also rose slightly with his movements, "Do you know what I just made a wish?" β
Wait a minute! It doesn't work if you say it!
"I'd like to hear you sing a birthday song."
Keigo didn't give her a chance to remind her at all, and kept summoning her wish for a second. This wish also made Maji unable to control the realm of the spirit or not, because whether she could be a spirit or not - it was all up to her. But she still glanced at Keigo in surprise, this wish is even stranger than "world peace"? No wonder he didn't close his eyes for five seconds.
If someone else made this request, Zhen Ji Er would have to bite him to death without saying a word.
But Keigo Jibe actually returned the eyes she begged him to wear a birthday hat today, which made her "always have to pay it back when she came out to mix", so she could only probe her brain and strictly scan the surroundings to make sure that there were no living creatures within a radius of 100 meters.
Zhenji reluctantly opened his mouth, but the tragic ending was already doomed.
β¦β¦ Ma Dan Benbao sings and even Benbao himself hurts PIA!! QAQ
She simply interpreted all the sounds of a hundred to the extreme, and even the maple leaf was frightened into a wavy shape.
But the noisy ballad reminded Keigo of the old record that his grandfather used to play when he was a child.
When he grew up a little, he knew that it was the birthday song recorded by his grandfather's early death sister Shiri Shiri, although he didn't know the specific reason, but he reluctantly admitted that only brothers and sisters who were close to each other were not afraid to leave this kind of black history handle.
Because it is so memorable, he will have a flash of inspiration at the beginning, so that Maki shouts "brother" at his grandfather.
She and her grandmother, Seri, did not resemble each other in appearance except for dimples, but their voices were extremely similar.
Although he was born with a light voice, the musicality can be called an epic disaster.
There is also a shameful real season girl singing with a red face, and Keigo Jibe looked at her neck with amusement, and suddenly reached out and touched the top of her hair.
Maki raised his head to look at him, only to see his obsidian-colored eyes sparkling.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
When Keigo Keibe got in the car and was about to leave, Maki remembered something and asked him to wait for him for a few minutes, rushed upstairs and took a beautiful box and handed it to Keigo Keibe, panting out the window and saying, "Brother Keigo, this is a birthday gift that Seijun asked me to pass on to you." β
Seishiro Akaji?
Nothing to do.
Keigo frowned, and his intuition was strange.
Because he only returned to China when he was in middle school, and now he has not officially participated in the management of the company, and the inexplicable relationship between the two families, in fact, before he met Maji, he and Seishiro Akaji were just nodding friends. Of course, he also knows that the other party is amazingly talented and rigorous and self-disciplined, enough to meet his opponent in chess, and even has a trace of sympathy, and he is also looking forward to formal cooperation and duel in the future. But at the end of the day, at least for now, they don't seem to have a relationship to give each other birthday presents in private.
But Keigo Kibe still took it from Maki's hand first, and it wasn't until the car started that he decisively ripped open the wrapping paper, lifted the lid of the box, and saw the contents - an extremely rare version of "Hamlet".
What does that mean?
He grew up in England as we all know, and giving such a copy of Shakespeare's collection can be described as both solemn and thoughtful.
He bent his arms to support his temples, and reluctantly recalled Maki's bright smile just now, she seemed to be very happy with Seijuro Akaji's behavior, probably thinking that it had smoothed some of the rifts between the two families back then.
Keigo's thoughts flowed.
- The Maiden in the Red Maple Forest, Ophelia in the Flower Creek.
- And the pathetic brother Leotis who spies on the prince and ends up tragically.
β¦β¦ Is this a satire on his self-theft and favoritism? Or did he lose his sister and lose his soldiers?
is saying that he let his sister be abducted by his generals!
Finally understanding the metaphor of not knowing whether there is a zΓ i or not, Keigo's back molars couldn't help but rub violently.
In the end, he smiled angrily and viciously pressed the lid back to its place.
Red-Division--Division-
