When he left the garden, he had a pigeon on his shoulder and a large bag of pigeon food, which contained 20 bags with a total weight of 10 kilograms and a total value of 400,000 yen.

Lamenting the luxury of the rich family, Zero returned to his home in the car, and made a quick call in the car to inform him to come and pick up the pigeons in the afternoon.

A girl's voice could be faintly heard on the other end of the phone, not Hongzi's voice...... It seems that it should be the childhood friend of Kuaidou, Nakamori Aoko.。

When he returned to his apartment, Zero suddenly found Koizumi Hongzi downstairs.

Isn't it, it's only been more than twenty minutes since he contacted Kaito, and he is moving so fast? I was fooling around with Qingzi just now, but now I've arrived with Hongzi?

However, when I looked around Hongzi, I didn't find any trace of Kuaito.

"Good morning, Mr. Hongzi." Zero Zi greeted Hongzi, "Black Feather Kaidou, why don't you see others." ”

Hongzi's cheeks flushed slightly, and he said, "I don't stay with him all the time. ”

Belch...... is not with Kuaidou, can it be said that Hongzi has something to do with himself alone?

Before Zero could ask, Hongzi said, "Actually, I rented a room here, and we will be neighbors from now on." ”

？？？

When Zero heard this, he immediately showed a black question mark face, I remember Hongzi, you also have a big house, and there is a housekeeper to serve you, and you can be regarded as living the life of a magician. Why can't such an eldest lady suddenly figure out how to rent a civilian apartment, is it because she is tired of living a comfortable life and wants to experience an ordinary life?

Although Hongzi doesn't know how to read minds, he can guess the questions in his heart by looking at Zero's expression, so he said: "The reason for renting an apartment is very simple, I have no money." ”

Out of money......? Zero still can't understand it.

"Didn't I pay you 100 million yen, which is basically all my assets except for my homestead, and after I paid it, I only had less than 100,000 yen left. So I sold my old house, thinking about renting a house first, and it happened that I found out that this Aino apartment is the most cost-effective apartment in Tokyo, so I naturally chose to rent here. Room 401, upstairs from Zero. ”

"Isn't it, you're an eldest lady, and you went bankrupt after paying 100 million yen?"

"Classmate Zero, you think too highly of me, or too much of our family. In this day and age, how can a magician have any future, it is too difficult to make money from magic, if it weren't for the fact that the red magic bloodline passed down from my family ancestors could not be cut off in my generation, I wouldn't want to become a magician. It costs a lot of money to maintain all kinds of magic props and collect magic materials on a daily basis, and if it weren't for the little accumulation left by my father and grandparents, I would have been poor a long time ago. And I have been sitting on a mountain for years, and my family's money is getting less and less, and after spending this 100 million yen, I can say that I have spent the last of my savings. It's useless to have an old house left, so I just sell it for some money, and I can continue to study magic. ”

Zero was speechless, at the beginning, Hongzi took the initiative to save his life from Kuaidou, just to make Kuaidou have a good impression of him, and now it seems that he really went bankrupt to catch men. It's a pity that Kuaito didn't know where to mix with Qingzi just now, so he was afraid that all of Hongzi's net worth would be lost, and the man hadn't caught it yet, so it was really a miserable relative.

At this time, I heard Hongzi say: "Miss Zero, the pigeon on your shoulder is a fast fighter, have you already brought it back?" ”

"Well, that's right, and I've already contacted him, so he'll probably come over later."

"I see, no wonder when you saw me just now, you asked where Kaito was."

At this moment, Hongzi's mobile phone rang, Hongzi took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and said with a faint smile: "It's Kuaidou calling, it seems that he asked me to accompany him to see you." ”

Zero rolled his eyes and said to Hongzi: "Anyway, when I was talking to Kuaito just now, I seemed to hear a girl's voice." ”

Hearing this, Hongzi raised his eyebrows: "This provocative trick is useless to me." ”

"Oh, don't you believe it, I'm kind enough to warn you. By the way, Hei Yu-kun seems to have called the girl's name, as if it was called ...... Aoko coming? ”

Hearing the word "Qingzi", Hongzi couldn't calm down. Zero Zi probably won't know the name Aoko, so it means that what she said is true, and Kaito was really with Aoko just now.

With an incomparably sour feeling, Hongzi answered Kuaito's call.

"Hey, Hongzi-san? Why did it take so long for you to pick it up...... I'm going to go to Kaneda's house later, so stay with me again. ”

"Ah, Kaito-san, weren't you with Nakamori-san just now? Then you can just let Nakamori-san, accompany you. ”

"Huh? Hongzi-san, how do you know that I'm with Aoko? That one...... Sure enough, if you go to see Kaneda Ichiko, I still have to go with me, classmate Hongzi. Although Miss Kanedaichi is very beautiful and has a good reputation in the mouths of others, I can vaguely feel that she is actually a very terrible person, almost like an evil ghost. The only person who can subdue that kind of evil ghost is you, Hongzi, so please. ”

Although it was a conversation through a mobile phone, Zero was standing next to Hongzi, plus Zero had good hearing, and Kuaito was talking loudly, so Zero could hear his words clearly.

So as Kaidou talked more and more, Zero's face became more and more unnatural.

"......" Hongzi cut off the phone in silence, and then turned off the phone.

There's no way, if you let Kuaito continue to talk so openly, it is estimated that this place will become a bloody scene when he comes over.

"That, Mr. Zero, he just likes to joke, don't take it to heart." After hanging up the phone, Hongzi hurriedly reassured Lingzidao.

Hearing this, Lingzi showed a charming smile and said, "Hongzi, don't worry, of course I won't take such a trivial matter to heart." ”

If it weren't for the blue veins on her forehead, Hongzi might have really believed her.

Hongzi put his arm around Zero's shoulders and continued to comfort, "Oh, Miss Zero, don't be angry...... How about I treat you to dinner? ”

Zero Zi is still able to restrain his emotions, took two deep breaths, and said to Hongzi: "Okay, okay, okay, I can't really do anything to your fast fight, please eat or something, you don't have to break the bank." ”

"It's not a waste of money, I'll cook my own food at home and invite you, it's not for Kuaidou, just celebrate my housewarming, how about it?"

“…… Okay. Left and right was a piece of Hongzi's heart, and Zero agreed, "Then I'll bring my sister over at night." ”

On Kuaidou's side, he didn't know how he annoyed Hongzi, and the other party hung up the phone directly.

Call again and directly prompt the other party to turn off the phone.

Kaito was very anxious in his heart, and he was really reluctant to let him face Zero alone.

Kaito had thought about just waiting for Hongzi to get better before letting her go with him to fetch the pigeons, but he had already made an appointment with Zero to meet for a while, what would happen if he lost his word?

What Kuaito is most worried about is that Zero will be angry with his pigeon, and that pigeon has spent a lot of effort to cultivate himself, and he is also very emotional.

Black Feather Kaidou, you're a man, how can you be afraid of a girl. It's a big deal to go to the meeting alone, and she can't eat you, what's there to be afraid of!

Kaito constantly cheered himself up, perhaps through a fairly successful self-hypnosis of himself, and finally decided to go to Zero's house alone.

———————— plot dividing line————————

Coming to the door of Zero's house, Kaito suddenly became a little weak, and after repeatedly doing self-hypnosis to himself such as "Kuaidou can do it" and "Kuaidou, why are you afraid of a girl", he knocked on the door of Lingzi's house.

The door opened, and Kaito inexplicably retreated, but unexpectedly, it was the figure of Hongzi who appeared from inside the house.

After all, Hongzi didn't feel at ease to let Kaidou face Zero alone, so he stayed at Zero's house in the name of being a guest and waited for Kaidou to come over.

"Hongzi, you really didn't leave me!" Kaito was surprised by Hongzi's appearance at first, but then realized that she must be here because of herself.

Hongzi snorted coldly, obviously quite concerned about the matter between Kaito and Aoko before.

Not long after, Zero also walked out, and Kaito saw that it was his own pigeon that was perched on his shoulder.

With Hongzi by his side, Kuaito naturally wouldn't show his timidity in front of Zero, but he said to Zero: "Classmate Jintian, you've worked hard to take care of Xiaobai, so give it back to me." ”

Is that the name of the pigeon? Black Feather Kuaidou's naming level is really bad.

Zero pointed at Kaito and said to Xiaobai on his shoulder, "Go, go back to your real master." ”

The pigeon flapped its wings and flew to the side of Kuaidou. However, just as Kaito was full of joy and thought that Shiro would rest on his shoulder, Shiro circled around Kaito's head twice, and then flew back to Zero's shoulder.

Bucket: (°Д°)

Zero: (ˉ□ˉ)

Red Child: (ಡωಡ)

"That, little white...... I'm a fast fighter! Kuaito called a few more times and blew a few more whistles for the pigeons.

But it didn't work at all, Xiaobai stopped on Zero's shoulder, and he didn't mean to fly to Kaidou again.

With Kuaidou's observation, he could naturally see at a glance that it was indeed his own little white and no one else, but why did it ignore himself?

"Well, aren't you going back to your master?" Zero was also speechless about this situation and asked Xiaobaidao.

Xiaobai "cooed" twice, and rubbed Lingzi's sideburns again, but he didn't mean to leave at all.

Hongzi leaned into Kuaidou's ear and whispered, "It seems that your pigeon is empathetic." ”
