Her eyes were full of indescribable sorrow, which made Qiao Xi stunned for a while.

He was stunned, and San Lang, who happened to come over next to him and wanted to talk to Qiao Xi, was also subconsciously stunned in place.

Nura Koban blinked blankly, glanced at Qiao Xi, and then looked at Yabuki Otome: "What are you talking about?" Why do you say that all of a sudden? ”

Yamabuki Otome grabbed his wrist and squeezed it hard, then suddenly let go, raised her foot and took a step closer to Qiao Xi.

Saburo didn't understand what this gentle and amiable young lady said along the way, but he intuitively felt that her words might cause something very terrible, so he refused to listen to it and refused to think about it.

He took a few steps back suddenly, and when he retreated, he didn't forget to pull Taro beside him, his face was facing Qiao, but a pair of eyes avoided his gaze in a little panic,

"That, I haven't seen Brother Taro for a long time, Brother Taro said that there are a lot of interesting things here, and he wants to take me to see it, so I'll go over first, and I won't bother Mr. Onmyoji and my sister."

He said so much that even he didn't know what he was talking about, and after he finished speaking, he pulled Taro and turned around to run in the direction of the palace.

It's just that he hasn't taken a few steps before he is stopped by Qiao Xi.

"Wait a minute!"

San Lang paused in his footsteps, his eyebrows drooped slightly, and he didn't look back, but asked in a very soft voice:

"Anything else? Mr. Onmyoji. I'm curious about what Taro-goku said, so I want to go and see it soon. ”

While he was talking, Taro beside him kept looking at him with a strange expression.

Qiao Xi glanced at Taro intentionally or unintentionally, then stared at Saburo's back, and for a few seconds, smiled slightly:

"That's right. Xiaosheng is also very curious about the palace here, can you take Xiaosheng to see it together? ”

Yamabuki Otome, who was expressionless and listened to the explanation of the slave carp companion, heard these words, and also said: "The concubine is also very curious, please be sure to take the concubine for a ride." ”

“……”

After a long silence, Saburo, who was facing away from them, nodded very slightly, and let out a soft "um".

A few people/monsters walked towards the palace without saying a word, and the atmosphere gradually solidified.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Xu felt that the atmosphere was too depressing, and Taro suddenly pointed to the palace and laughed.

"Behold, this is the attic in which we dwell. I heard that the adult built it little by little. ”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows, and asked her own question very cooperatively: "That adult? ”

When Taro saw someone responding, he smiled more and more heartily, and he really looked like Saburo's brother.

Although they are brothers, Taro and Saburo are obviously not the same type - or even more so, the two are more like father and son than brothers.

is different from Saburo's cheerfulness, perhaps because of his age, Taro always looks extremely introverted, and at first glance, he has a little unsmiling.

However, when he smiled like this, Qiao Xi instantly remembered that he was on the beach before he went to sea, and San Lang, who knew that he could take him to the sea with him, smiled and ran towards the bamboo raft.

"That Lord is our benefactor. I heard that it is a high-ranking monk who has cultivated to become a Buddha, and he will have many magical powers that ordinary people cannot see. At that time, I was caught in a storm at sea, and the adults saved me and let me stay on this island, and I was lucky enough to save my life. ”

He sighed and said a lot about "that adult" to save people, and the slave carp companion who was listening occasionally added some between Taro's words, and it didn't take long for them to be taken to the attic and invited to sit down, and the image of a high-ranking monk with a gentle personality and compassion and kindness was portrayed very well by the two people.

Qiao Xi: "emmmmm......"

He pondered for a while, and made a very yearning expression from the goodness: "Say it and laugh, Xiaosheng has not been learning Yin-Yang for a long time, but he has been interested in Buddhism since he was a child, and today I have a rare opportunity to meet a high monk, I wonder if the two of you can recommend Xiaosheng?" ”

Taro was pouring a cup of tea for each of them, and Qiao Xi held the teacup in his hand, but instead of drinking it, he said something like this.

Taro was stunned: "This ......"

And when he interrupted like this, San Lang, who was originally going to drink tea, also put down the teacup and looked at Taro with a pair of bright eyes: "Brother Taro, I also want to meet the adult you said, and I want to thank him for saving your life." ”

Taro: "......"

He looked at the slave carp companion with a hesitant expression, and then the slave carp companion pushed the plate with the dim sum towards San Lang with a relaxed expression, and said with a smile in his mouth:

"It's not impossible to be introduced, but adults are busy with everything, so I don't know if I can have time to see you."

Qiao Xi looked at San Lang and reached out to take a snack to eat, as if he unintentionally turned sideways, and the folding fan in his hand fell at San Lang's feet with a shake.

So Saburo turned his hand, bent down and went under the table to pick up the fan.

Qiao Xi only made a gesture to bend over, and when he saw that San Lang went to pick it up, he simply looked at the slave carp companion again, and said, "It's okay." Although Your Excellency conveyed a word for Xiaosheng, presumably with the character of that adult, he would definitely not refute my little wish, right? - Thank you. ”

After he finished speaking, San Lang just crawled out from under the table and handed over the fan, so Qiao Xi nodded at him with a smile and thanked him, in exchange for a big smile from San Lang.

Nuliang carp companion: "......"

After thirty seconds of silence, he got up and said, "In that case, please wait a moment, and I will go and report to your lordship." ”

Seeing him leave, Taro was smiling and asked Saburo to eat a snack, Saburo also unceremoniously raised his hand to take it, Qiao Xi approached slightly, took the snack from Saburo's hand, smiled Yingying took a bite, and then frowned: "Hmm, it's so hard......"

San Lang was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Is it hard? It looks pretty tasty. ”

This kid's personality can also be said to be very good, and he is not angry when he is messed up by Qiao Xi several times, but he is only puzzled that this snack looks good.

- But it was also when he was at sea, Qiao Xi had too many various dim sum and fruits there, which made Saburo eat in style.

Otherwise, with the conditions of his previous residence by the sea, he would have to eat such a delicate snack regardless of whether it is hard or not.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this:

"Do you like snacks? That young lady will make a lot of snacks, the ones you eat on the sea are just the simplest, and when you go back, I will ask the young lady to cook for you, what you like to eat. ”
