Qingming left the tent and went outside.

Ayumi was the only one left in the tent, but she didn't feel sleepy, just lying there, her eyes blinking, looking at the top of the tent.

"Ernie SauceErnie Sauce...... What a strange thing! ”

She thought so.

Qingming is a strange person, she had such thoughts very early on.

When exactly do you want to say it......

When you licked her face?

Or was it earlier?

Well, as a child, she really can't remember these seemingly inconsequential things, so it's not clear.

But that's not the point.

Touching his lips again, the lips that were kissed by Qingming for the second time.

Last ......

What happened last time?

It seems that he came over all of a sudden, and there seems to be some reason, anyway, Ayumi can't remember clearly.

This time is different from the last time.

This time, it's just lips together, and there is no deeper "communication", which seems to be no different from kissing the face and forehead.

"But it's weird."

The little girl thought so.

If you think about it seriously, this may be what Gray Yuan Wai said about "things that can't be done".

Gray Plains Mourning said it to her.

She also knows something, this is something that can only be done with her boyfriend and future husband, Qingming is obviously not, Qingming is her "Ernie sauce Ernie sauce", just like family.

"Can a family do such a thing?"

Ayumi pondered.

Maybe not, or maybe it can.

Don't understand.

The little girl couldn't understand such a thing at all, she hadn't learned the relevant knowledge, let alone the experience of related things, so she didn't understand anything.

It is precisely because I don't understand anything that I have more doubts in my heart.

"Ernie SauceErnie Sauce...... Do you like to do this kind of thing? ”

It seems that it is very possible!

……

Outside the tent.

No one was able to see what was going on inside.

So nothing unexpected happened.

Qingming is holding a rabbit in his hand.

It was caught in the grove before, and Ayumi kept holding it, and she brought it out when she came out just now.

Grab the rabbit's ears, raise them in front of you, and look at the rabbit.

Long.

"I'm going to roast you."

Qingming said so.

After saying that, he looked at the rabbit that was still very quiet - it would not and could not react in any way.

Then he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Yes, you little guy can't understand me."

Shake your head.

Picking up the rabbit ears, he walked towards the woods again.

……

Evening.

At this point, it's dinner time.

In return for lunch, Paradise and her friends are invited over for dinner.

There are a lot of people, and it seems a little lively.

However, Qingming just sat quietly on the side, holding the rice bowl and eating by himself, it didn't matter if these people were chatting or anything.

It doesn't matter.

Ayumi has also risen.

Carefully carrying a bowl full of food, he came to Qingming's side with a lovely smile on his face.

Then sit with Qingming.

Eating dinner, he looked curiously at Conan, Heaven Qinghua and the others.

There are some doubts.

"Ernie sauce, Ernie sauce."

"Huh?"

"Isn't there a big sister missing? Where did she go? ”

"Hmmm......"

Qingming groaned.

The missing person is the female friend of Heaven Qinghua, and the others seem to have already found out, but they don't care.

Organize the language before you open your mouth to explain.

"She has escaped from the sea of suffering and gone to another world."

“？”

"Don't understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, you don't need to understand it now, yes, you don't need to understand anything, just leave it as it is. ”

Qingming raised his head, looked at the sky that was gradually becoming dark, and sighed lightly.

"Yes, leave it as it is, and that's it!"

……

Night falls.

Manor, only Akane is left alone.

After coming to the manor, she basically never left, and if she continues like this, she may become a house like Qingming.

But Akane didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Moreover, the outside world is too dangerous, so it is safer to stay in the manor.

Even if Qingming is not here, no one can hurt her here.

Unless it's someone like Qingming.

However, do people like Qingming still exist in this world?

exists.

For example, a certain witch, a witch who has not officially met Qingming, is a person like Qingming, although one is a witch and the other is a Taoist, but in essence, they are all capable people.

Koizumi Hongko, the heir of red magic.

Witches and Taoists, magic and Taoism, should be opposed to each other, and even attack each other.

But in times like these, that doesn't matter anymore.

And the witch won't come here.

Let's not talk about that.

Maybe it's boring to stay alone, or maybe you want to go out and see it after a long absence.

So Akane went out.

I called a taxi, and from this place away from the world, I once again walked into the noisy world.

……

Campsite.

Because of the proposal of Heaven Qinghua, the group wanted to go to the mountain to watch the fireworks.

Qingming is not going.

He wasn't very interested in fireworks and other things that were too ephemeral, and although they were beautiful, they were only for a moment.

If he doesn't go, the twin maids will naturally not go either.

Ayumi didn't go either.

A few people stayed where they were, lit a bonfire, and watched the starry night sky.

Rather than short-lived fireworks, Qingming prefers a long-lasting starry sky; The fireworks are fleeting, but the starry sky seems to be eternal.

Compared with people, fireworks exist for too short a time; Compared with the stars, the time of existence is too short.

"Ahh

Qingming stretched his waist, but his eyes did not leave the starry sky.

"I suddenly want to go to heaven!"

"Heavenly?"

Ayumi, who was sitting next to him, blinked when she heard this, and her pure eyes were full of curiosity.

"Ernie sauce, does Oni-chan fly?"

"I guess I will."

"Sort of?"

"You can't really fly, but with the help of Dao or something, you can fly for a short time."

“？”

Ayumi still doesn't quite understand.

But according to her understanding, it is enough to be able to fly anyway, which is already very powerful.

"So, can you fly to the moon?"

"Moon...... Unfortunately, no. ”

Qingming shook his head.

If he can fly to the moon, he would like to know if there are the legendary Guanghan Palace, Chang'e, Moon Rabbit, Guishu, Wu Gang and the like.

Although that's just a legend.

……

Walking down the streets of Tokyo once again, it feels like a world away.

"It's been a long time!"

Akane sighed.

For a long time...... How long has it been? It seems that I can't remember it clearly, but if I really think about it, it seems that it hasn't been long.

It's weird.

But it doesn't matter.

There is no special purpose for coming out, purely just to come out and take a walk.

I don't know where to go.

After thinking about it for a long time, she finally walked towards the coffee shop, where she was "born", and Akane came out of the coffee shop.

Before that, she was called Akemi Miyano.

These things she remembers clearly, including many, many things, she remembers.

Did she forget anything?

Nope.

At least she doesn't think she's forgotten anything, as long as she needs to remember, she remembers, nothing is forgotten.

Just, is that really the case?

"No one."

Stand in front of the coffee shop.

The lights on the signboard went out, and there was no one inside.

Of course, Qingming and Ayumi and Gray Hara went camping together, and Enomoto Azusa also went home from work, so naturally there will be no one here.

I miss it a lot.

When I first arrived, I lived here for a while, and then Qingming asked Enomoto Azusa to help rent a house, and finally moved to the manor.

"Are you...... Madder? ”

A voice came from the side.

When I turned my head to look, I saw that it was a young girl.

The girl has a gentle, affectionate smile on her face and speaks in a beautiful voice.

"It's been a long time, why are you here?"

"Miss Lan."

The girl in front of her is Xiaolan, the daughter of the great detective Maori Kogoro who lives upstairs.

I used to borrow a bathroom from a Maori house.

"Long time no see, Miss Lan, I'm just ...... Come out and walk around. ”
