A few days after Kazuma returned home from the hospital, the Kiryu Dojo ushered in the morning as usual.

This morning and the horse were woken up by the heat.

Kiryu doesn't have a luxury like air conditioning, so in the summer he has to rely on perseverance to fight the heat.

Fortunately, summer in Japan comes and goes late and quickly, after all, the latitude is there.

He Ma got up and took off his sweat-soaked pajamas first, changed into his usual home clothes and left the bedroom.

Actually, he wanted to go bare-chested, but now there are too many girls in Kiryu Dojo who are not relatives, so he can only endure it.

He came to the restaurant, opened the refrigerator, took out the barley tea, and poured it directly from mouth to mouth, which finally cooled his body.

Chiyoko patted him on the back: "How many times have you said it, don't pour it into your mouth!" At the very least, don't let your lips touch the spout! How can others drink like you? ”

"Oh, there's not much barley tea left in this pot, and when Shigeru comes back from delivering the newspaper, it'll be gone." He waved his hand with the horse.

Chiyoko looked at the remaining barley tea in the pot and agreed with Kazuma's statement.

She reached out and touched another pot full of barley tea in the refrigerator: "Well, this one is not very icy when it just went in." Just put it in the freezer, maybe it will cool a little faster. ”

With that, she took out the pot of barley tea and transferred it to the freezer area under the refrigerator.

He Ma put the barley tea he had just drunk into the cold snow area, and then reluctantly closed the refrigerator door - in a home without air conditioning, the air conditioning of the refrigerator is so kind.

This exclamation, he was interested, changed the words of "In the Spring" and hummed it: "...... Back to home without 24 hour aircon ......"

It just so happened that Qingliu entered the restaurant while rubbing her sleepy eyes, and as soon as she heard the humming of the horse, she subconsciously relied on her instinct to harmonize.

As soon as Kazuma saw that the harmony was coming, he changed the Chinese word to the Japanese word and continued to hum.

Chiyoko: "Tsk, I feel like if this continues, our family is going to become the kind of family in the sound of music." ”

Qingliu now estimates that her brain is not yet running, and when she hears "The Sound of Music", she seamlessly switches and starts singing the famous songs in The Sound of Music.

Kazuma: "The sound of music you want is here." ”

"Can you be considerate of me as soon as I get up and start arranging breakfast in the whole dojo? I just want to be quiet in my ears right now. ”

Kazuma: "Qingliu, quick, change the sound of silence." ”

"I can't sing English." Haruru refused Kazuma's request, then opened the refrigerator freezer, took out the barley tea that Kazuma had just drunk, and blew it on her mouth as well.

And the horse licked his lips.

Qingliu drank all the rest of the barley tea, and then let out the kind of exclamation of "poof~ha~" that is often seen in drink commercials on TV, which is used to highlight that the drink is delicious.

Hema: "That pot, I just drank it mouth-to-mouth." ”

Qingliu put the pot on the table, as if she didn't understand his words, and shouted directly: "Xiaoqian, I'm hungry." ”

"Yes, yes, got it." Chiyoko said as she brought fried fish, miso soup, and rice to the table.

Haruru: "No bread?" ”

Chiyoko inserted two pieces of bread into the toaster and pressed the switch: "Right now!" ”

In 1981, the toaster was a novelty, and in Japan it was regarded as a symbol of modern life, and almost every household had one.

The process of baking bread in this kind of toaster is actually very different from real toasting. It is usually served with pre-made slices of semi-finished bread, which a real pastry chef would not admit to being bread.

According to the point of view of Wama, a person who was deeply influenced by industrial culture in his previous life, traditional pastry baked bread? Is that a handicraft? A bakery is a craft workshop? The toaster is the crystallization of modern food industrialization.

With a "ding" sound, the horse's plug-in reward arrives - right? It's toast baked.

Two slices of toasted bread bouncing off the bread maker? The fragrance of pre-sealed bread slices in the modern food industry immediately fills the room.

Haruu came over and picked up a slice of bread? It's so hot that it's constantly pouring and blowing.

Finally got it done? She shouted again: "Xiao Qian? Peanut butter ......"

Chiyoko put the bottle of peanut butter and the knife with peanut butter in front of Haruyu.

Qingliu picked up the dinner knife at this time? Shovel a meal knife with peanut butter? Touching the bread slices? Then he stood there and ate it in a big way.

She chewed as she turned her gaze to look at Kazuma.

Then she looked at the empty kettle on the table.

Qingru's cheeks suddenly stopped chewing? Froze.

“…… You guy! I said you drank it to your mouth! ”

"You're delaying too much!"

Before Qingliu finished speaking, she was about to wipe her mouth with her sleeve, but she was grabbed by Chiyoko.

"Don't wipe your mouth with your pajamas, I said that." Chiyoko said with a smile.

"Oh." The arrogance that Qingliu had just surged up was gone all of a sudden, but she didn't forget to glare at Kazuma.

And the horse silently decided to drink tomorrow to the mouth.

At this time, there was a knock at the entrance door, and then Amao's voice came: "I'm back." ”

"His aunt." He Ma replied casually, "Is there anything interesting in the news?" ”

Shigeru appeared in the dining room with today's newspaper and put the newspaper on the table: "The Soviet army has begun to move on a large scale, and now the situation is very tense, and NATO troops have entered a state of combat readiness. Master, is there going to be a war? ”

"It's supposed to be a drill." And the horse said calmly.

And the horse is a traverser, knowing that this is the beginning of the Western 81 exercises.

Now the countries did not know that this was an exercise, and suddenly saw that the Soviet Union had deployed troops on such a large scale, and that the tanks and armored vehicles transported on the railway line could plow the entire plain of Western Europe, and everyone thought that the Soviet Union, after training its hands in Afghanistan, decided to try its own steel torrent with others.

He Ma took the newspaper, and at first glance he saw the sensational headline: "Nuclear war is imminent?!" ”

To be honest, it was quite interesting to witness the scared appearance of Western countries, so I read it with great interest.

Seeing that the master began to read the newspaper, Amao didn't bother anymore, he took a cup and put it on the dining table, then opened the refrigerator and found that there was no barley tea, so he immediately turned off the refrigeration, opened the freezer, took out the barley tea that Chiyoko had just put in it and poured a cup.

At this time, Qingliu was spreading peanut butter on the second slice of bread, and while wiping it, she stuck out her head to read the newspaper in Kazuma's hand.

"Will there be a nuclear war?" She asked.

"No, it won't. Let's just say it's a drill. ”

"You're not Soviet, how do you know it's a drill?"

"Judging by logic, the Soviet Union seems to be strong now, but it will not be able to do so soon. First of all, it is now entering the electronic age, the Soviet Union is not good at electronics, and he will soon fall behind, and secondly, the Soviet Union's foreign exchange depends entirely on selling oil, and if the United States and OPEC increase production and reduce oil prices, the Soviet Union will be hit hard all of a sudden. ”

Anyway, it's a private occasion where only acquaintances are available, and the horse doesn't hide it, and it is very casual.

Qingliu: "Is Dong Dasheng so powerful?" ”

"Yes, Dong Dasheng is so powerful." And the horse said.

"Not really." Jinguji Tamamo entered the cafeteria while dismantling the table of the horse, "I'm also a student of Todai, and I'm the best student at Todai, but I don't know about that. ”

Haruyu: "Eh, that's it, so are these all made up with Ma Hu?" ”

Kazuma: "yes, I'm talking nonsense. ”

Tamamo: "He's not talking nonsense. ”

Kazuma pursed his lips, looked at Tamamo, and expressed his dissatisfaction with the continuous demolition of the stage with his eyes.

Tamamo: "He has a unique vision, and if it weren't for my family's focus on making dim sum, I would have wanted to ask him about the future." By the way, if you have any views on the future of economics and finance, how about telling Honami?

"Maybe you can use this to influence the decision-making of the Nanjo Foundation, and if the Nanjo Foundation makes a profit, it should give you a lot of benefits."

Chiyoko was originally concentrating on her work, but when she heard Tamamo's words, she spoke directly: "Okay, brother, do it!" ”

And Ma is also convinced of herself, a sister who comes to her heart as soon as she hears about something related to money.

The money-hungry Amaru in "Ninja Rantaro" shouldn't have been created based on her, right?

Tamamo came to Chiyoko's side to help, and said, "Let's go to school with Ma this afternoon and show your face, although the professors know that you are lying in the hospital, but it's not good to show up all the time." Show up, hand in the report, and accompany a few more words, I should be able to let you pass the first semester of class. ”

Kazuma nodded, signaling that he understood.

Haruru: "Didn't you say this morning that you were going to sweep Sakata's grave?" You're not with me? ”

"Accompany, so Yuzao said that he would show up in the afternoon."

"Hmm." Haruru nodded, then wiped the peanut butter off her fingers, turned around and went to the locker to get two new slices of bread and threw them into the toaster.

Tamamo: "Do you still want rice for Qingliu?" ”

"Yes! Where is enough to eat only bread. ”

Kazuma looked at Haruyu, who was sitting at the table and began to eat fish and drink miso soup, and couldn't help but be speechless.

She's really good at eating.

At this time, Chiyoko also complained: "Qingruru is so delicious, and the amount of food is about to catch up with the sum of the elder brother and Amao." ”

After drinking the water, Shigeru sat down at the table to read the newspaper that Kazuma had read, and when he heard Chiyoko's words, he raised his head: "Is there so many?" ”

Kazuma: "I know, Amao listens, in the future, we will eat twice as much, and we can't lose to girls." ”

Shigeru smiled, didn't answer, and continued to look down at the newspaper.

Haruru stepped on the horse under the table.

Next, Chiyoko and Tamamo brought all the breakfast to the table, and then sat down to eat together.

Fifteen minutes later, Chiyoko stood up: "I'm going to school." ”

"Walk slowly." Tamamo waved his hand, and then started to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

At this time, Senior Sister Gao Jianze hurriedly appeared: "Sorry, I got up late." Xiaoqian, you should call me. ”

Senior Sister Takamizawa has to pay the rent by working in the dojo, so it should be her job to help Chiyoko prepare breakfast and now clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Chiyoko: "I see that you looked very tired when you came back last night, so you didn't scream, it's okay." Shigeru, let's go! ”

After eating the last grain of rice in the bowl, Mao saluted Hema: "Master, I'm leaving." ”

"Come on, learn to come on, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask us."

"Understood." Shigeru turned and left the restaurant.

Tamamo handed over the task of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks to Takamizawa, returned to the table and sat down, and looked at Haruyu.

"Stop! Don't say anything about us being like a family of three! Haruru said loudly.

"How could it be. I'm only eighteen years old, and with a daughter of your age, I have to be a half-aged in her thirties. Tamamo said with a smile.

"I always feel like you've just the housewives."

As soon as Qingliu's words fell, Mikako's loud voice came from the direction of the dojo: "Kazuma, Qingruu, we're coming!" ”

Then, with the sound of thumpping footsteps, Mikako appeared.

"And horses! Listen to me, my mother enrolled me in a driving school, and I want to learn to drive this summer, and I guess I will be able to get a car license before the fall semester starts! ”

"Oh." He Ma was indifferent, and he was also going to learn a motorcycle and get a driver's license in the summer.

"Kazuma, why are you so cold!" Mikako came over and hugged Kazuma's neck from behind, squeezing the back of his head with his pectoralis major muscle, "If you want to use the car in the future, you can call me!" I definitely inherited her driving skills from my mom! ”

"When I'm poor enough to rob a bank, I'll consider letting you drive." And the horse said.

Actually, if you really want to drag race, there is a god who can drive a van with a racing wheel at Jinguji Temple, and I probably don't need Mikako.

While speaking, Honami also entered the restaurant, and said to Mikako with a smile: "Since you have to practice driving during the summer vacation, then you won't be on vacation at our family's island villa." ”

"Wait a minute! Hema should also learn motorcycles, so it shouldn't even be counted for him! Mikako protested loudly.

Qingliu finished eating the rice in the bowl, drank the miso soup, and just picked up the milk to drink, as soon as he heard about the island villa vacation, he glanced at Kazuma and said: "With Kazuma's physique, if you go to the island villa for a vacation with him, you will definitely encounter a storm and be trapped on the island, and then encounter a serial murder." ”

He laughed: "Is there a puppet in that villa that corresponds to the number of us, and if you die, there will be one less puppet?" ”

Honami: "The Island Case? The murderer was the first to die. ”

Tamamo: "Not necessarily, it may be a *sectarian who is causing trouble, and you may need to learn how to drive a boat and hit a big octopus." ”

Mikako put her arms around Kazuma's neck, rested her chin on the top of Kazuma's head, and looked back and forth at everyone: "Can you say something about the topic that I can join?" ”

"Mikako, you're in the English Department of Sophia University, and theoretically you should be the one who reads the most foreign works now." And the horse teased.

Mikako sighed: "My teacher asked me to read English books, and my recent homework is to read Marquez's ......"

"One hundred years of solitude?" Answer with Ma Second.

"Have you seen it again? I'm finally going to put it on! ”

He Ma originally wanted to directly recite the most famous opening sentence of One Hundred Years of Solitude, because it is so characteristic - by the way, many people know this sentence for this book.

But considering that Mikako was kind to him today, he decided to give her the opportunity to pretend.

Mikako recited in English: "Uh...... When Colonel Something faced the firing squad, he remembered that afternoon when he looked at the ice many years ago......"

He Ma smiled: "You can't even memorize the first sentence." ”

"But I look! I usually fall asleep when I read so many words, but this time I have to read it well! ”

Tamamo: "Mikako is also working hard. ”

"It's over, she'll be playing with your praise right away." And the horse said.

"It's not a thing!" Mikako patted Kazuma, and her tone was already proud.

Honami looked at Haruru who was drinking milk and started a new topic: "Is Haruru's school confirmed?" ”

"Well, since September, I have entered the primary department affiliated to Beige University, and I will pay the tuition first." Kazuma glanced at Haruyu, "Next year I want to send her to a regular music high school, and I have to make some money for this." ”

Honami stopped talking, and finally just smiled at Kazuma, "Then come on." ”

Kazuma knew that she must have wanted to give out the money herself just now, but considering Kazuma's self-esteem, she didn't speak.

Actually, Hema really wants her to give out the money, and her self-esteem doesn't matter, after all, she also had a dream of being raised by a rich woman in her previous life.

However, the character of my life has been erected, and there is no way.

After all, not everyone can become the "tiger of the serious crime team".

Fortunately, there is no way, the producer of Oiwagawa Houichi on the side of Sauni Music has convinced the upper echelons of the company, and when the funds are in place, they can start producing the first collaboration single between Haruru and Kazuma.

Akito Anno and Koji Okada can also mix some income.

Coupled with the tuition fees of a few apprentices or something, I should be able to make up my own East University tuition and Qingliu's high school tuition next year.

So Kazuma's expression is quite relaxed now.

Honami looked at his expression, and obviously put his mind at ease: "Sure enough, nothing can stump you." By the way, when are you going to go to my manpower dispatch company to learn how to use a gun? It's been two months since your PPK was left with the police. ”

Kazuma then remembered that he still had a gun in the Metropolitan Police Department's evidence storage department, and Kato of the Metropolitan Police Department promised to give him a gun license as long as he went to a qualified place to receive formal training and passed the assessment.

Originally, he and Ma had already said that they were going to learn guns, but when they got together, they kept pushing back.

I'm afraid that this Beichen is going to take the improved route of Sakamoto Ryoma, and there is a high probability that there will be skills with guns in the back, so it's really not good to get a gun.

"Let's wait for the summer vacation, there are only a few days left." He said to Ma, and then he suddenly found that he seemed to be very busy this summer.

Over there, Mikako was already counting her fingers: "Wama, you have to learn motorcycles, learn to use guns, go on vacation trips during the summer vacation, write songs for Haruru Ruu, and go to Okada-san and Anno-san to do animation...... Are you busy? Ah, I forgot, you're a master of ninjutsu, just use the doppelganger technique. ”

"There's no ninjutsu like that." And the horse said.

"If you say no, then I'm going to doubt it!" Mikako's voice is super loud.

Tamamo smiled: "The so-called doppelganger technique is actually a few ninjas with the same body dressed up as one, and as a result, it became a doppelganger technique with false rumors. ”

"Eggs, you're here to spoil my illusions again! Don't, leave me a little romance! Mikako screamed.

Kazuma looked at Tamamo meaningfully.

Qingliu squinted at Mikako: "Could it be that Mikako is the kind of person who has always believed that the gift in her bedside socks was put by Santa Claus?" ”

"What are you talking about! How could it be! Mikako gently patted Haruyu's head with a knife like a manga, "When I was twelve years old, I waited for Santa Claus to come and put the present, and then I found out that it was my father. ”

The restaurant fell silent all of a sudden, except for the sound of Senior Sister Gao Jianze washing the dishes.

Kazuma quietly raised his hand and touched Mikako's ear, which was really hot.

Tamamo: "I'm sorry for ruining your illusions, I'll reflect on it seriously." ”

"Ahhh Don't do that! Mikako shouted, "Alright! I'm just a carefree fool! Really, how did a fool like me get into Sophia University! ”

Hema: "Of course, it depends on your efforts, as a comrade-in-arms who reviewed together, I am still very clear about this." ”

"What's wrong with you? Got something dirty? Why did you suddenly start flirting with me? ”

Qingliu: "Monkey, your face is so red." ”

"I'm a monkey! Of course the monkey's face is red, right? Mikako made a loud noise, as if she thought that this would cover up the past.

Kazuma was about to continue teasing Mikako when he heard Honami clear her throat.

So he looked at Honami and saw that the girl had a serious face, so he became serious as well.

The eyes of others were also focused on Honami.

Haruru had to look at a small animal because her vision was just blocked by Kazuma's head and Mikako's pectoral muscles.

Honami said with a serious face: "Everyone, I have discussed with my grandfather, during this summer vacation, in addition to going to the island for a vacation together, I will also stay in the dojo at other times." Of course, I will pay the rent according to Xiaoqian's marked price, as well as the food expenses. ”

Kazuma: "You...... This is knowing that I am in financial difficulty, so come and share it? ”

"No, I just think that as a disciple of Master, I have been busy with other things in the past semester, and I should have time to learn more from Master about the principles of being a human being."

"What about the truth of being a human being?" And the horse repeated.

Jinguji Tamamo picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Mikako silently let go of Kazuma's neck, took a step to the side, and picked up Haruhu's neck.

Qingliu: "Go away, you crushed my hairpins!" And it's so hot! ”

And the horse clapped his hands gently: "Okay! Then when Chiyoko comes back from school, tell her that you will live next to Haruru. ”

Jinguji Tamamo continues to drink tea.

Kazuma: "Now our dojo is even more lively." Good things, all good things.

"What, everyone has eaten, I see that the morning rush hour is almost over, let's go to visit Uncle Sakata's grave."

Mikako immediately echoed: "Okay! Although I haven't met this Uncle Sakata, he's an important person in Haruku, right? ”

Qingliu nodded solemnly: "Hmm." Looking back now, although he and I are not related, in my childhood memories, he was like a father. ”

"Then you have to sweep his grave well." Talk to the horse and stand up directly.

Tamamo: "I have prepared the right tribute. ”

Honami: "I made white flowers with my own hands yesterday, come, Haruu go change your clothes, and I'll put them on for you after changing." ”

Tamamo picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

Qingliu threw down the sentence "I went to change my clothes" and ran away with a smoke.

Mikako: "I'll help Haru change her clothes!" ”

After saying that, she also ran away.

Sitting at the table with the horse, he suddenly felt that he was not full, so he started to serve the meal.

Honami immediately took the rice spoon: "I'll come." ”

And the horse handed the bowl over.

Tamamo: "Do you want to add a little more to the side dishes?" ”

"Ah, okay, come a little." And the horse nodded.

So Tamamo stood up and turned to the stove to get vegetables.

**

The cemetery of Sakata Shinsaku is actually on the beach in Kamakura, and it takes a long time to drive.

Standing at the entrance of the cemetery and looking south, you can see the sparkling sea and seagulls flying.

"This side seems to be Sakata-san's hometown." Haruru explained to Kazuma, "Most of the people in their fishing village will be buried here when they die. ”

Kazuma: "In this way, it can be regarded as a place to return to his hometown." ”

After saying this, a trace of melancholy passed through his heart.

- When I die, I don't know if I can return to my hometown and return to my roots.

- Probably not.

This emotion made Kazuma's expression look particularly solemn.

Haruru wore a black sailor suit—a suit that was perfect for funerals—and walked into the cemetery with a white flower handmade by Honami on her chest and a tribute prepared by Tamamo.

The tomb of the Sakata family is quite easy to find, as a family burial tomb for generations, the large tombstone is inlaid with photos of several generations of the Sakata family since the photographic technology.

There are also flowers in front of the tombstone, and it looks like someone came not long ago.

Qingliu came to the tombstone, opened the box of tribute, took out the tribute inside, and put it in place, then folded her hands and closed her eyes.

Kazuma stood behind Haruru and looked at the picture inlaid on the tombstone.

To be honest, he didn't have a deep impression of Sakata Shinsaku, and the biggest impact came from his big flower arms.

However, if it weren't for Uncle Sakata, I was afraid that I would have been shot that night - my attention was on Haruru at that time, and it was likely that I wouldn't be able to dodge.

Even if you don't die after this shot, the battle with Yamada is estimated to be enough.

Therefore, at this moment, Kazuma sincerely sends silent thanks to Uncle Sakata Shinsaku.

After a moment, Haruru opened her eyes and stood up, lowering her folded hands.

Kazuma: "Don't you sing him a song?" ”

"No, I'm ...... now I'll cry halfway through singing, and I can't play my true level at all. I'll wait until I'm in a good mood later. With that, Qingliu took a deep breath, turned around, and took Kazuma's hand, "Let's go, a new life is still waiting for me." ”

He Ma glanced at the girls waiting at the entrance of the cemetery and nodded: "Let's go." ”

After saying that, he took the girl's hand and walked towards the sea.
