In fact, you don't need to prepare too much for the New Year's visit, and as long as the money arrives, the gods at the shrine will naturally arrive.

Eri Kitagawa certainly understands this.

It's just—

Eri Kitagawa glanced at her deflated purse and expressed helplessness about her poor financial resources.

My mother has always given her money to Kitagawa Temple, who is older than Eri Kitagawa to take care of it.

And Kitagawa Temple used to have that kind of attitude of not speaking with a gloomy face, and Kitagawa Eri was already very afraid of his brother, so it was difficult to get money from him.

But—

I still want it, I want it, I want it, I want it!!

"I wanted to buy a few new clothes." Eri Kitagawa wanted to sigh, but at the thought of the slang phrase 'happiness will slip away from sighing', she patted her face again and cheered up.

Speaking of which, why did Nissan suddenly think of going to the New Year's worship?

Thinking so, she wrapped her thin coat, rubbed her hands, bent over, and walked downstairs with a clatter.

Before she came to the living room, she was stopped by Beichuan Temple.

"It may be a little late, but it's still a happy new year."

Kitagawa Temple casually handed over the New Year's money bag to Eri Kitagawa and calmly sent blessings.

Ay?

"Can you really take it?" Eri Kitagawa was surprised. Just now she was muttering about the New Year's money, but she didn't expect to hand over the New Year's money to her as soon as she got off the Beichuan Temple.

And the feeling of being thick is not like stuffing a few coins or one or two thousand yen at random.

"This is for you, you can use it however you want." Kitagawa Temple nodded.

It's true that he doesn't understand the folklore of Japan, but the power of money is always endless.

At least he thinks that a little girl like Eri Kitagawa should have what she wants to buy, the clothes she wants, and he can't care about how Kitagawa Temple used to, but he still has to give the New Year's money.

Even when he looked at Eri Kitagawa's excited expression now, he also felt that there was no problem with his behavior.

Kitagawa Temple retracted his gaze from looking up and down, got up and walked to the living room—

Eri Kitagawa naturally felt the coldness in Kitagawa Temple's eyes, and the excitement of getting the New Year's money was immediately suppressed, and the whole person was also a little uneasy.

The character of Beichuan Temple has changed so much in the past few days, could this be another manifestation of the other party's recklessness? It's like the months after my father died.

Thinking about it this way, Kitagawa painted the color subconsciously changed.

If that's the case...

Eri Kitagawa gritted her teeth, the New Year's money bag in her hand was clenched tightly, and finally-

"Temple, temple Nissan!" Eri Kitagawa clutched the money bag with both hands, lowered her head, and handed it back to Kitagawa Temple.

"......" Kitagawa Temple.

Kitagawa Temple's gaze was as calm and clear as just now, and for Kitagawa Eri's movements, he just tilted his head and spit out a sentence:

"Not enough?"

Well?

Eri Kitagawa 's snow-white face turned red all of a sudden, she knew that Kitagawa Temple had misunderstood, so she looked at a loss,

"No, it's not! Be... It's the one... Temple Nissan has been working hard, and I can't be left behind, that is... That is to say..."

The sound gets quieter the further you go to the back.

Syllable...

Kitagawa Temple draped her down jacket over Eri Kitagawa Eri.

"Don't talk about it for now, you go wash and change your clothes first, breakfast is ready, we'll leave later."

Kitagawa Temple's voice still sounded hard, but Eri Kitagawa subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

She had already seen it quietly just now, Beichuan Temple deliberately went to the living room sofa to get a down jacket for herself.

Hah-

Looking at the busy figure of Kitagawa Temple, Eri Kitagawa took a breath of white air at his frozen red palm and stomped his feet again.

It's still so cold!

The kind of 'warm current that wells up in the heart' mentioned in the novel has not appeared at all!

Eri Kitagawa hurriedly walked to the bathroom.

......

After a simple breakfast of toast and milk, Kitagawa Temple and Kitagawa Eri stepped on the frozen ground step by step and walked towards the shrine.

It snowed last night, and the houses on both sides were completely white.

Snow plows pile up thick layers of snow on both sides of the road, freeing up a path for people to walk on.

The cold air whistled overhead, burying your neck under your collar.

Pedestrian groups like Kitagawa Temple and Eri Kitagawa are not too small to visit the shrine on New Year's Day, after all, not everyone can make time to make it to the shrine on January 1st.

But the small number of people has nothing to do with Kitagawa Temple, and he has to take Kitagawa Eri to visit the New Year.

"If it's too cold, why don't you go back and add some more pants?" Beichuan Temple turned back and patiently persuaded.

He couldn't understand what Eri Kitagawa thought, in such a cold weather, the lower half of his body was just a short skirt with pantyhose.

Although the pantyhose looked quite thick, Kitagawa Temple didn't think it could keep them warm enough.

"No, Temple Nissan, don't you see a few girls in front of you like me?"

Indeed, under the guidance of Kitagawa Eri, Kitagawa Temple did see a few girls walking and laughing in front, and their lower bodies were undoubtedly a combination of short skirts and pantyhose or stockings.

Merely...

After looking at it for a while, the three girls clearly felt the gaze of Beichuan Temple, and they all turned around and walked back.

"Temple... Temple Nissan. Eri Kitagawa pulled the palm of Kitagawa Temple and swallowed.

"Don't be afraid, it seems to be an acquaintance."

Feeling the banter in the eyes of the leading girl, Beichuan Temple's heart moved.

Could it be someone I met at school at Kitagawa Temple?

It's just that looking at the other party's posture...

Kitagawa Temple breathed steadily and raised his head unhurriedly.

At this time, three girls had already come to him.

Of course, these three girls are acquaintances of Kitagawa Temple, and the little girl with long hair named Nana Hoshino at the head of the group is even the object of unrequited love in Kitagawa Temple's first year of high school. But after Kitagawa Temple was called out by the other party for various reasons to play bullying again, after seeing Nana Hoshino again, Kitagawa Temple basically took a detour.

At this time, Nana Hoshino saw that Kitagawa Temple saw that she was still cold, and her movements couldn't help but speed up, and a heavy nasal voice also came out.

"Beichuan, after a winter vacation, you pretended to be a big-headed ghost? Didn't you take the initiative to roll over when you saw me? ”

Beichuan Temple's indifferent and ignorant appearance now feels like a different person, which only makes her particularly unhappy.

At her angry look, Beichuan Temple just frowned, and asked calmly:

"Who are you?"

This person's voice Beichuan Temple didn't even have an impression, and he didn't think it was a friend who brought him valuable information in his mobile phone, and he didn't even want to deal with it.

"Who am I? My name is Nana Hoshino, do you have an impression now? ”

Hearing Kitagawa Temple's words, Nana Hoshino squeezed over without saying a word, this little girl really didn't expect Kitagawa Temple to dare to talk to herself like this.

"Not much of an impression." Kitagawa Temple shook his head calmly.

Seeing Kitagawa Temple behaving like this, Nana Hoshino's face changed, and she was about to get angry, and then she saw Kitagawa Eri who was shrinking behind Kitagawa Temple.

Eri Kitagawa wears a navy blue skirt with a beige women's trench coat on her upper body, which looks cute and a little innocent.

"Good! Beichuan, I'll just say why are you so bold, it turns out that you, a despicable guy, have found a new love. ”

The little girl had an inexplicable emotional attack, and Nana Hoshino stretched out her palm to grab Eri Kitagawa's face.

But who knew that when his hand reached out in mid-air, it was firmly grasped by Beichuan Temple.

Syllable!!!

A slap was thrown on Nana Hoshino's face.

At this moment, not only Nana Hoshino and her friends were stunned, but even Eri Kitagawa widened her eyes.

"You hit me? ... Blood... I—" Nana Hoshino opened her mouth, blood oozing from her mouth.

She was so angry that she couldn't even speak.

I was beaten myself?

was beaten by the ruined Beichuan Temple that he had played and insulted?

"Subconscious movements." Kitagawa Temple let go of Nana Hoshino's palm, and her voice was cold.

He raised his head, and the coldness in his eyes not only made Nana Hoshino stunned, but even the two little girls behind Nana Hoshino were wondering if they had recognized the wrong person.

What would that autistic Kitagawa Temple look like in school? It's impossible to think about it.

"I don't have any impression of Hoshino-san. And isn't it a bit rude for you to do something to my sister as soon as we meet? ”

"You've confessed to me before!!" Regarding Kitagawa Temple's indifferent attitude, Nana Hoshino simply screamed.

Why did she feel like she was being eaten and wiped clean for some reason?

"Did Hoshino-san agree to my confession?" Beichuan Temple is light and light.

"How could I promise you such a wretch as yours?" Nana Hoshino was angry and anxious, and said angrily.

"Then I really want to thank Hoshino-san, who raised his noble hand and let me go, a child who is not deeply involved in the world."

Kitagawa Temple slowly and leisurely walked past Nana Hoshino with Eri Kitagawa .

That calm and unhurried calmness made the three Hoshino all stunned.

This man... Is it really Kitagawa Temple?
