"Welcome~!"

As usual, after dinner time, Shimakaze was busy with his work.

Maybe I really feel a little more relaxed than before, and my smile at the customers has become warmer.

But even if it's Shimafeng himself, I don't know where this vitality comes from......

She brought another couple of couple-like customers to the table, and after ordering, she returned to the window.

“……？”

But I looked left and right at the customers in the restaurant.

There were only about seven or eight tables of guests, compared to the twenty or so tables that are usually too busy, and there were unexpectedly fewer guests today.

So when I was working, I was able to stand and rest for a while.

There doesn't seem to be a good look on the face of each customer, either the face is gloomy or the movements are unnatural.

"Hoo ......"

With his eyes closed, he exhaled, and Shima Feng couldn't see what had happened in the last few days, and why there were suddenly fewer customers.

"Ding~"

The little golden bell at the gate rang again.

"Huan ......"

Originally, he planned to meet the island wind that went up to receive guests, but suddenly found that it was Ling Yixiao, who would come back at this time every day.

Naturally, Ling Yixiao also walked straight from the gate to the backstage as every day.

However, when I passed by the window where Shimakaze was standing, I stopped a little and talked to Shimakaze.

"It's going to start winter again, Qiyue is always dressed like this for work, don't catch a cold......"

This woman, who is not much taller than Shimafu, is as gentle as ever with her right hand caressing Shimafu's long hair and caring for her body.

"Hmm...... Got it. ”

The island wind that muttered, and some didn't like such a one-sentence nag.

Island Wind doesn't catch a cold, her body is very special.

Despite the state of their own injury...... It is true that it can contract some human diseases, but in general, it is still much stronger than human physique.

"Hmm......"

Shima Feng, who squinted his eyes, found that when did he start not avoiding the question of being a ship girl......

After all, this is a town guard's house...... No matter how much Daofeng avoided it, it was impossible to plug his ears and prevent himself from hearing other words about the ship's mother and the admiral.

Ten years of whispering in her ears have tormented her again and again, until now, her mind for these two words has finally faded a lot.

But it's just that, only to the point where she doesn't say it, otherwise, she still can't control her emotions well.

"Hmm...... But it seems that there are very few guests today, right? ……”

Island Wind turned his head and looked at the restaurant again, and in the spacious hall, it was still the same as before.

"Huh...... Maybe it's because everyone is tired these days. ”

The woman in front of the island wind smiled softly, looking more kind.

And that smile is bathed in the taste of happiness and sincerity.

"Is that so......"

Although I know that this childlike answer can't be true...... But Island Wind still responded to her answer innocently with such an expression.

Because Daofeng always felt that he couldn't refuse her request, or hurt this adoptive mother a little in words.

The current Ling Yixiao is over forty years old, but his overall face and figure have not regressed at all, and they remain the same.

It's just that there is a little less elegance that there was always before, and there is more realistic love, and she is more like a mature mother.

There are more than a dozen white hairs in the corner of the beautiful black hair, and it is estimated that it will continue to spread in a short time......

"Also, Qiyue has to grow a little taller...... At least surpass me. ”

And the originally mature woman in front of her said as naïve as a child when she treated Island Feng.

“…… Hmm...... It's more than twenty...... What kind of height do you have? ”

Of course, Shimakaze knew that he would definitely not change...... I just think that when the other party is fifteen years old, it's okay to say this...... I'm fifteen years old now, but it's been ten years since I first arrived.

In other words, in the eyes of Ling Yixiao and Yan Feng, they should be twenty-five years old.

It's just that they don't care that the island wind hasn't changed at all, and they seem to think that the island wind is like this, which is good.

"Qiyue, tonight, let's sleep well."

Answering Daofeng like this, Ling Yixiao gently hugged Daofeng with his arms.

She bowed her head slightly, leaning on Island Wind's small shoulders, as if she was intoxicated and didn't let go.

"Uh-huh......"

And the island style, which has never been embraced by others for so long, is a little unaccustomed to it......

However, Daofeng only made a little unnatural pushing and shoving before slowly accepting this long hug.

“……”

After a while, Ling Yixiao, who let go of his hand, just kept smiling, didn't say anything more, nodded slightly, and motioned to Daofeng to hurry up and get to work.

Then he pressed the side door slightly, and seemed to be a little tired and walked into the room behind the back kitchen.

It's just that after she entered the room, Island Wind still looked at her door for a short while.

Maybe...... She already regarded herself as a real daughter.

……

There weren't many people at dinner today, so it unexpectedly closed earlier than usual.

Yan Feng and Ling Yixiao also entered their room a little earlier, maybe they were watching TV.

"Hmph, hum~"

Because today is not as busy as usual, some of the tables at the table have not been wiped yet, and the island breeze is humming a little song while carefully wiping it with a small handkerchief.

As night fell, the sky was gone, and the streets were just as usual, shining only near the light poles.

"Whew~"

Just after wiping the last dining table, Island Wind leaned against the black and white tile pillar next to the dining table as if he was tired.

After a slight sigh, though, she looked up again to see if there were any other tables in the dining room that needed to be wiped.

"Woo ......?"

It's just that when I was looking to the left, I suddenly saw my own appearance on the outer glass wall not far from the restaurant.

Dressed in purple-black maid-style overalls, she showed all the skin above her breasts in a unique style, and there were no suspenders hooking her shoulders.

The skirt is slightly open, and the simple shoes are soft white feet that do not wear socks because of the shoe design.

A pair of silver hair went around the back of the neck from the back of the head, from the left shoulder in front of the body, to the front of the side waist.

Such a dignified and beautiful style should not be an island-style dressing style.

Only her eyes moved slightly......

Originally, the reflection of the glass in front of his lower abdomen was blocked by the dining table against the glass wall.

And the dining table with the window against it......

"On the day I remember, the short black hair flashed, and the shrunken blowing snow."

"Hmm...... Whew......"

Although he thought about it, Daofeng just closed his eyes and didn't get too entangled.

I don't want to think too much about it.

It's rare that her mood is a lot lighter, and she doesn't want to pull herself back to the days of uncertainty because of this kind of memory.

"Well, I'm home...... Hmph, hum~"

Quite simply, as if he didn't remember this memory, Shimafeng walked to the back kitchen and threw his handkerchief on the stove.

Then he jumped a little and walked towards the gate.

As she approached the door, a blurred figure outside the blind spot of the restaurant's glass wall due to the dim lighting gradually faded back......
