Natsuki nodded when she heard her question, "You've found out since we first arrived here." ”

The housekeeper knew that she would definitely not be able to hide it from Xia Shu, so she hesitated for a moment, her eyes full of vigilance: "Who are you?" ”

"We're here to find Little Milk Bean!" Igarashi Fenghua answered her quickly, her face was full of excitement, probably thinking that this housekeeper was the original owner of Xiao Nidou.

Hinata Nanami knew that Igarashi Fenghua must have misunderstood something, and she couldn't explain it clearly, so she looked at the housekeeper with a confused face and said carefully: "That's the case, we picked up a puppy from your master before, and then kept it in the shrine, but we found that the puppy was gone last night, so we found it all the way." ”

A hint of understanding flashed in the housekeeper's eyes, but she still asked suspiciously, "How did you find it?" Then his gaze naturally fell on Natsuki's body.

And Natsuki smiled and nodded at this time, admitting that he had indeed brought two people over.

"It's rude," the housekeeper immediately bowed after understanding the situation: "Miss was happy for a long time after finding Xiaodou yesterday, and also told me to go to the door today to thank you, just about to go out, I happened to meet you." At this time, the big iron door opened directly with a wave of the butler's hand: "Guests, please come in." ”

"Huh?" Igarashi Kazuka looked at Natsuki and Hinata Nanami, as if asking for their opinions, but Hinata Nanami looked directly at Natsuki, and after seeing Natsuki nodding, everyone followed the housekeeper in.

"So bother."

When you are outside, you can see how big the castle is, and when you enter, you will find that it is even more spacious, and many roses are attached to the walls of the castle, which looks ancient and quiet.

Natsuki followed behind the housekeeper, looking around at all this, and then sighed, "You are a big family a long time ago, right?" ”

The housekeeper realized that she seemed to have forgotten something because of her excitement, and immediately said apologetically: "It's rude, I didn't seem to introduce myself to you just now, so let's introduce myself now." This is the castle of the Akimoto family, my name is Anna Tanaka, and I am the housekeeper here, so everyone can call me Tanaka housekeeper. ”

Natsuki nodded slightly, and began to introduce himself: "Natsuki, Natsuki Kazama, a first-year student at the private Harukawa High School. ”

Igarashi Fenghua quickly turned her head away from the scenery around, and said excitedly: "Hello Tanaka housekeeper, my name is Igarashi Fenghua, and I am also a first-year student at the private Harukawa High School." ”

Hearing her look so excited, Hinata Nanami shook her head helplessly, "I'm Hinata Nanami, a second-year student at a private Harukawa High School. ”

Igarashi Kazuka was obviously dissatisfied with Hinata Nanami's brief introduction, and immediately added fuel and vinegar to continue: "Nanami-san is the president of our school's student council. ”

The housekeeper Tanaka Anna was obviously surprised: "So Hinata-san is very powerful." ”

"yes, yes," Igarashi Kazuka looked proud, as if Tanaka Ana was praising herself, "Nanami-senpai is very powerful." ”

Hinata Nanami patted Igarashi Fenghua a little embarrassed: "Fenghua-chan, don't talk nonsense, what's so powerful." ”

Of course, Igarashi Fenghua was dissatisfied, and turned her head to ask for Natsuki's opinion: "Natsuki-kun, do you say that Nanami-senpai is very powerful?" ”

Natsuki smiled and nodded: "Yes, Nanami-san, is really powerful." ”

"Xia Shujun, why did you follow along?" Hinata Nanami was embarrassed to look at them.

"Haha, it's good to be young." Anna Tanaka looked at them lovingly, and then led everyone into the castle, and a long dining table appeared in everyone's eyes.

Igarashi Fenghua's eyes lit up when she boarded: "This is a long dining table that I have only seen on TV, is it really different for nobles?" ”

"Ahem!" Hinata Nanami hurriedly grabbed Igarashi Fenghua, who was about to jump directly on someone's dining table, and gave her a warning look, and Igarashi Fenghua remembered that this was someone else's house.

"It's okay, Igarashi-san can do it." Anna Tanaka nodded approvingly: "It's been a long time since I've seen such a lively child." ”

"Is Butler Tanaka saying I'm not lively enough?" At this time, a beautiful figure appeared at the staircase on the second floor, and everyone raised their heads to look over.

I saw a graceful girl looking at them with a glass of red wine and a smile, and this beautiful girl directly stunned them.

Anna Tanaka was surprised for a moment, and then thought that everyone's voices were not small, and it was normal to startle people, so she immediately walked over respectfully: "Miss, these classmates are the beautiful children who took in Xiaodou." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, and then she put down the glass, and the maid who followed behind her immediately took it.

"So you took in Xiaodou? I'm so grateful. The girl waved her hand, turned around and told the maid not to follow: "All right, you go and get busy, don't follow me." Then he went downstairs and walked towards Natsuki and the others.

The maid looked a little embarrassed, but after getting Anna Tanaka's permission, she breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly dragged the wine tray and retreated.

Natsuki looked at the beautiful girl who was slowly walking down, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, because he found that this girl was not very old, but her cultivation was very strong. But thinking that she has lived in such an environment with abundant aura for a long time, all this makes sense.

"It turns out that you used your spiritual power to take the little milk bean away?" Although Natsuki used a question sentence, it was an affirmative meaning.

The girl looked at the unknown Natsuki on the side with a little surprise, and her expression suddenly became a little nervous: "Who are you?" ”

At this time, Anna Tanaka, who was following her, hurriedly stepped forward and whispered something in the girl's ear, while Natsuki just silently watched them do all this, smiled but did not speak.

After listening, the doubts in the girl's eyes did not decrease, but increased, but the vigilance in her eyes decreased a lot, and she smiled like a flower: "Okay, I know, are you all students of private Qingchuan High School?" Hello, I'm Miyo Akimoto, and I'm the current heir of the Akimoto family. ”

"Wow, heir." Igarashi Kazuka was very excited when she heard what the girl said, "I'm the first time I've seen the heir of a noble family!" ”

Hinata Nanami's eyes were also surprised and envious: "Akimoto-san?" Hello. I didn't expect you to be an heir at such a young age. ”

"Giggles", the girl laughed, knowing that they had misunderstood something, so she explained: "That's because my parents only have one child, so I am naturally the heir, but I haven't officially inherited the family business yet, so it's not a big deal." ”

"But that also means that you will inherit the entire family in the future." Hinata Nanami said very seriously.

Igarashi Fenghua also nodded after hearing it: "Yes, yes, what do you say, this family will also be taken over by you in the future." ”

"How can Fenghua-san still understand the word takeover." Natsuki couldn't help but interject.

"Wow, how can I say that I've also watched idol dramas, don't you have any common sense? Xia Shujun, do you think I'm really stupid? Igarashi Kazeka opened her teeth and claws, and her face was distorted as if she was about to tear Natsuki apart.

Natsuki immediately shrank back in fear: "No, I didn't think so. "You're really stupid. Of course, the last sentence Natsuki won't say is it.

And Igarashi Fenghua was very happy when she heard the negative answer, and the faces of the other few people who understood suddenly became strange, and they looked at Igarashi Fenghua in surprise as if she had nothing to do, and sighed in their hearts.

"So, can Miyo-san-chan take Xiaodou out and show Fenghua-san a look? After all, she had traveled so far to see it. Natsuki's words successfully reminded Igarashi Fenghua and Hinata Nanami of the purpose of coming here, and suddenly Igarashi Fenghua's face turned red.

But how could she admit that she had forgotten about it? So I saw Igarashi Fenghua nodded quickly, and said without changing her face: "Yes, yes, can Miyo-san, give me a look at how Xiaodou is doing?" ”

Hinata Nanami also coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment on his face, and then looked serious.

And the girls Miyo Akimoto and Anna Tanaka seemed to have been struck by lightning, and after a while, Miyo Akimoto blushed and said, "Kazama-san and Igarashi-san are also really, how can you call my name directly?" ”

"yes, yes, that's not good." Anna Tanaka was also a little embarrassed, and then looked at this group of children, she seemed a little embarrassed to stand here as an adult, so she smiled and bent over: "Then Miss, you can play with these children here, I'll go and prepare some snacks for everyone first." ”

Miyo Akimoto nodded: "Then please, Butler Tanaka." ”

Natsuki smiled and looked at Miyo Akimoto and sat down next to him with a little red face: "Anyway, I'm still quite interested in the Akimoto family." ”

"Huh?" Miyo Akimoto's eyes widened in surprise: "Didn't Kazama-san know everything?" ”

"Oh? What do you know? Natsuki asked.

Miyo Akimoto blinked, "I've heard that Kazama-san brought Hinata-san and Igarashi-san over, and he can see the formation around our castle at a glance, this is really powerful." After all, our family's formation is something that some formation masters can't see. She sighed at the end, and then glanced at Natsuki meaningfully.

Xia Shu nodded noncommittally, still smiling: "Yes, the current era is down, and the formation master can't even see such a sixth-level formation." Then he shook his head: "But in such an era when aura is scarce, it is also very normal." ”

"What Kazama-san said seems to have spanned a long era." Miyo Akimoto teased her, but of course it was just a joke.

And Natsuki also nodded: "Yes, it has spanned thousands of years." ”

"Kazama-san's really good at laughing." Miyo Akimoto shook her head, naturally she didn't believe Natsuki anymore. And Natsuki naturally doesn't care if she believes it or not, it's an incredible thing, isn't it?

"Whew-" A small dog barked and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

I saw that the little white dog who was picked up by a maid was wearing a golden dog suit, which suddenly looked a lot more expensive, and a protective mat was also put on the paws, presumably to avoid injury and soiling.

And the moment they saw the dog, Igarashi Kazuka and Hinata Nanami couldn't help but pounce: "Little milk bean!" ”

"Oh my God, I miss you so much, little milk bean." Igarashi Kazuka desperately rubbed her face against the puppy's body, while Hinata Nanami stood aside and carefully combed the hair on the puppy's head.

"Little milk bean?" Miyo Akimoto looked at Natsuki in a little surprise: "Is this the name you gave to Shodou?" ”

Natsuki looked at the two people who were in love with the puppy and squeezed the other people's maids aside, shook his head with a smile, and then turned around and replied to Miyo Akimoto: "Yes, this is the name chosen by Kazeka-san." Speaking of which," Natsuki laughed, "what a coincidence of the names you guys, they're all small beans." ”

Miyo Akimoto was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, so she also laughed: "Yes, it's really a coincidence," after thinking about it, she looked at the two people who were facing the puppy and couldn't put it down, and sighed: "Why don't you call it Little Milk Bean?" Actually, I came up with the name Xiaodou last night, no wonder when I called Xiaodou, it didn't react, it turned out to be because you kept calling it Xiaodou. ”

"Yes," Natsuki nodded approvingly, "When Fenghua-san picked up the little milk bean, it was only so small, so it should be used to it." ”

A hint of apology flashed on Miyo Akimoto's face, of course she knew what Natsuki meant, so she sighed and explained: "I was shopping in Akihabara at the time, and because there was a long queue, I was a little excited when I paid, so I put the azuki bean... Ah, it's the little milk bean, put it aside, and when I finished the bill, I turned around and didn't see it. ”

"So that's the case," Natsuki nodded clearly, but still felt strange: "Then why didn't you think of using spiritual power to get the little milk bean back at that time?" ”

Speaking of this, Miyo Akimoto was immediately embarrassed, "That... I didn't learn tracking at the time, but I've been looking for tracking spells since I came back, and I only found them two days ago. ”
