Perhaps for the purpose of compensating the scorpion, after Chiyo's mother-in-law was assigned a fruit plate by Uehara, she devoted herself to this work with great enthusiasm, which should have been very small.

"But Uehara, we already have a fruit bowl ......"

"Shut up." Uehara, who was making a strange device on the other side of the room, picked a grape and bounced it into the worm's mouth. Where did so many words come from.

Well, if you don't say it, you won't say it. The little worm took a bunch of delicate purple grapes and ate them one after another, and he didn't even vomit the grape skins.

I don't know why, the little worm's unbright little head actually thinks that Uehara asked Chiyo's mother-in-law to make an extra fruit platter, which was completely "premeditated". No one will waste fruit that is more expensive than ninja gear.

Sure enough, things didn't turn out as the bug expected.

After chopping all kinds of colorful fruits, Chiyo's mother-in-law herself was a little amused, and she realized that she couldn't handle a small fruit bowl.

A ninja like her, who is obsessed with puppetry, medical ninjutsu, and devotes all her energy to it, it is not too much to not handle a fruit bowl well.

"Iwanshinobi's little ghost," Granny Chiyo put down her light fruit knife, "It seems that I am not up to the task." She looked very sorry.

Uehara didn't need to waste fruit to make extra platters, and his original intention was to have Chiyo's mother join the preparations for Scorpion's birthday party as a participant, so that both Chiyo's mother and Scorpion would be the first step in explaining to each other.

Uehara put down his work, and he went to "worship" the fruit platter made by Chiyo's mother-in-law.

It seems that Chiyo's mother-in-law had good intentions, she didn't want to just make a simple platter, but she had to make a beautiful platter. So, she must have experimented with various fruit combinations, and it was no surprise that someone who had never made a fruit platter before would cut the fruit into messy pieces.

"It's too chopped," Uehara thought of a remedy, "and it's ready to make a fruit salad with honey cheese and chocolate." ”

It's easy to make a beautiful platter by yourself, but that loses the meaning of involving Chiyo's mother-in-law. As a last resort, Uehara had to think of some tricks.

He took out a few colored pens and some blank paper for on-site teaching, "Chiyo seniors, making a fruit platter is actually very simple. ”

"Different fruits have different treatments, and not all fruits need to be cut."

"Fruits have beautiful colors and shapes, and these colors and shapes can be used in a variety of places."

As he spoke, Uehara sketched out a lot of small animals with lines, such as big bears, rabbits, small monkeys, and birds...... Among them are giant pandas and other shapes that are impossible to appear in the ninja world.

"The simplest, Chiyo-senpai cut the fruit into small pieces and fill in the blanks of these figures." Uehara pointed to the drawing.

It's really hard to imagine that a big man like Chiyo's mother-in-law would work hard like a child playing a color puzzle to fill one pattern after another with fruit as a color block.

Strawberries are cut into small pieces and arranged in a circle to serve as the red eyes of the rabbit, while bananas are sliced to serve as the eyes of the monkeys.

And what about oranges? Where do you put the round golden oranges? Suddenly, as if there was a flash of inspiration, Chiyo's mother-in-law was as surprised as if she had discovered a new way to make a puppet, and she gently peeled open the oranges, breaking open petals of oranges that were curved like crescents.

It's a lot like a grinning mouth, and when Chiyo's mother-in-law makes a nose out of cherries and Kurome uses it as an eye, a smiling face appears.

Granny Chiyo herself smiled softly, and anyone who saw such a smiling face couldn't help but laugh.

……

Uehara, Xiao Worm and Chiyo's mother-in-law are secretly preparing for the scorpion's birthday party, and there is not enough time, so they are nervously busy.

As for the scorpion, he was very involved in learning swimming skills, and he didn't come out of the pool until he felt the temperature of the pool water drop.

Because of the difference in the specific heat capacity of solids and liquids, solids absorb heat faster and dissipate heat quickly, so the earth is always warmer than the pool water during the day. In the evening, when the sun is gone, both the water in the pond and the earth begin to dissipate heat. Pool water with high specific heat capacity naturally dissipates heat more slowly than earth and air, and pool water is indeed warm in comparison.

Crawling to the edge of the pool in the warm water, the scorpion is a little shivering, and the temperature difference in the desert is very large.

It's strange how the lights go out so early at night? In the process of rushing back, the scorpion carried his shoes barefoot, and he looked at everything in the darkness around him in confusion.

Not only were the lights on the road extinguished, but when the scorpion rushed back to the shadow building, the entire building was pitch black, and the huge shadow of the building in the darkness was like a terrifying beast that devoured everything.

The scorpion was no coward, he walked into the photo building from memory, then went up the stairs and turned the corner.

After several flights of stairs, the scorpion finally reached the floor where his bedroom was.

Then.

"Click."

The sudden sound in the darkness made the scorpion instantly alert.

At this time, there is a colorful soft light, which shows the color in front of the scorpion's eyes as if the curtain has been opened.

Suddenly the darkness and the light suddenly appeared, and his eyes needed to get used to it, and when the scorpion slowly opened his eyes, he stared blankly at the colored lights on the walls and the ceiling of the aisles, which were like flowers and vines.

Those little colored lights flickered, blinking and blinking, like delicious colorful little fruits.

Colorful lights danced, making the small space instantly seem to change a world.

The bright light not only rippled on the scorpion's gently looking up face, but also made his eyes appear brilliant colors.

When walking through the second aisle.

"Bang!"

This time it was a different voice, and the scorpion was frightened again. This time, a lot of colorful silk burst out from all directions, spraying the scorpion that was caught off guard.

“…… It's boring. "Scorpion hates these sticky things that make his hair sticky.

After the third hallway, it was his bedroom, and the scorpion was ready, he didn't want to be frightened by the strange sound that suddenly appeared.

This time, there was no strange sound suddenly sounded, and under the soft fluorescent light, slowly floated out of his room, one, two, three, more and more, filling the entire aisle.

These bubbles include kittens yawning and biting their tails, goldfish tumbling and swimming in the bubbles, agile birds, and monkeys competing for fruits......

This is Uehara's idea, and the lethality of cute things to humans is non-dimensional.

This delicate illusion has a completely different picture inside each bubble, which is quite interesting.

The scorpion stopped, curiously using his fingers to pop a bubble that flew towards his nose.
