Xia Jing still decided to accept his mother's pocket money gratefully.

He first went to a large shopping mall in the city and bought some delicious dim sum gift boxes.

The rest of the money will be used for dinner, and then take the bus back to the school.

When he got off the train at the station, Anno and Anai were already waiting for him there.

Anno wore casual clothes, while Anai wore a consistent apron.

No matter how hard they try to explain, the two of them seem to be partners of unknown meaning.

Xia Jing smiled bitterly, if An Ye also learned Ye Ya to wear Hanfu, Xia Jing might still think that the bus he took along the way was actually a time machine.

"Welcome, Lord Natsujing. Ana, waiting for your great ride, for a long time. ”

Anaibi bowed respectfully to Xia Jing. Although his face was expressionless, his tone lacked modulation.

"Ahh

Having said that, in less than a week, Xia Jing had become completely accustomed to this corpse maid who moved freely.

"Thank you, your, kindness." Anai took the dim sum gift box handed out by Xia Jing and said.

"Oh, it's rare to see you so kind, Xia Jing."

"Tell me, what is in it?"

"It's red rose chocolate."

The only brand-name dessert that can be bought in this town, which is more pleasing to young girls, is probably the only brand left.

"Miss, she's a chocolate lover."

"That's great."

"However, the previous patriarch was worried that the eldest lady would have tooth decay, so he didn't give her food often."

"Really...... In that case, should I buy pancakes? ”

"Nope. If the eldest lady has tooth decay, the responsibility will be on Lord Xia Jing. ”

People can't be good-looking, it turns out that Grandma Nai takes an overprotective attitude towards her master.

"Don't worry, coffin. Xia Jing will take responsibility for marrying Ye Ya home. ”

“…… Hey, Anno? ”

"This is revenge for yesterday."

Anai squinted at Anye, who stuck out his tongue and grimaced, but was still unmoved, and his face was expressionless.

"In that case, Anai has no opinion."

"I don't know where your standards are...... What about the problem of tooth decay? ”

"I will, urge the eldest lady, to clean her teeth."

I didn't understand whether the conversation between the two had intersected at all, and Xia Jing, who began to have a headache, urged Yasuno to lead the way quickly. The three of them walked towards the back of the school and went directly onto the mountain road.

Ahead lies the realm of the 'Clan'.

Although this is the third time Xia Jing has gone to the Lost House, there is always a feeling that the path he has taken is different from the previous one. Under the inquiry, it seems that the 'right way' can be changed according to Anno's wishes. Unless you follow behind you secretly, outsiders should not be able to reach the Lost House.

Then again, it's still winter.

Although it is a mountain, there is not even a decent road under the feet. If it's summer, let alone mosquitoes or snakes, I don't know if I'll end up colliding with a boar. And it's probably going to be too hot to stand it.

Thinking that one day he would have to come on a hot day, Xia Jing was a little depressed. After about twenty minutes of walking through the woods and grass, at the end of the forest, a wooden door appeared in a large space.

After passing through the wooden door, the three of them finally arrived at the 'Lost House' with a thatched roof of pure Japanese style.

"Oh, you're too slow."

A voice came from above.

"Yaya, why are you there......"

Xia Jing looked up with Anno's voice and found that at the top of the thatched roof-

The girl in Hanfu looked down on Xia Jing and his party condescendingly.

"Xia Jing, you're finally here, let's have fun today, I'm going to have a party."

"I'm okay with you throwing a party, but how did you climb onto the roof?"

"It's beautiful to stand on a high place and enjoy the scenery, so you want to come up and have a look."

"Nope. I'm a little afraid of heights. ”

"Ah, is it?"

After Xia Jing refused, Ye Ya pursed her mouth as if she was not very happy.

Xia Jing thought to himself, only stupid people like to climb to high places.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had made up his mind yesterday to avoid provoking the women of the Deer Clan.

Plus today's protagonist is her, so don't spoil people's interest.

Pleasing Ye Ya does not mean that Fang Yuan will be happy. And whether such an act can be regarded as sacrificing Fang Yuan, Xia Jing has no clue. Despite this, Xia Jing still tried his best not to let Fang Yuan in Ye Ya's heart feel bad.

"Whew!"

Just when Xia Jing was thinking about these things, Ye Ya jumped from the roof unexpectedly.

“…… Hey!"

Only Xia Jing was frightened by her sudden move. The petite body that took off in the air descended into the courtyard with a light posture as if it had wings.

"Quick, come in. Let's enjoy an elegant afternoon first. ”

Ye Ya, who got up, opened the door of the entrance and said happily.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh."

God, wouldn't it be crazy to get along with her with human common sense.

Does this guy's body really belong to Fang Yuan?

A stunned Xia Jing followed Ye Ya into the house.

As soon as he was ushered into the living room, Ye Ya muttered "I want to introduce someone to you" and disappeared without a trace.

In this way, yesterday Anye had mentioned that Ye Ya had another purpose, and Xia Jing sat in the kotatsu while reminiscing. Anai handed over a teacup full of tea, and Xia Jing took it and asked Anye, "Ye Ya, who do you want to introduce to me?" ”

"A companion on the side of the family."

"Ah, no wonder your tone sounded like someone else was there."

"Hmm. Originally, I was going to introduce two people, but one of them was temporarily inconvenient. ”

"I see. But why this time? ”

Xia Jing only came here on Tuesday, and he had to introduce it as early as that time.

"Well, it's a little inconvenient...... Because there are complex reasons on both sides. ”

Anno somehow smiled bitterly.

"Well, you'll understand when you see it."

Her words are subtle and evocative.

"Whose answer is that?"

Xia Jing took a sip of tea with a face full of surprise.

What kind of person is he? I have the impression that I have heard unfamiliar names before. Is that the person? Or is it someone else?

After a while, there was the sound of soft footsteps in the hallway.

"I've kept you waiting."

Xia Jing turned his head, but saw Ye Ya standing in front of him.

“…… Well? ”

Xia Jing left the kotatsu, turned his whole body to face Ye Ya, and looked at it with wide eyes.

I saw that behind Ye Ya - a piece of white cloth hidden behind the Hanfu belt was faintly exposed.

"Come, don't you say hello soon, Lin Yu."

Lin Yu.

Hearing this name, Xia Jing did have an impression.

After being named, the white cloth behind Ye Yaye suddenly jumped out to reveal the true face of Lushan.

“…… Hey? ”

Xia Jing didn't know how to react.

In short, it's petite.

It would be more appropriate to say that it is good to be young. Judging by appearance, it is difficult to say whether he is more than ten years old. If you just look at the face, it gives the impression of elementary school left and right.

Her long hair seemed untrimmed, wavy like a clump of grass, and her gaze was so upward that it looked as if the upper half of her eyes were covered.

But what's even more striking is that-

A bit of a bizarre dress.

The white coat that was so loose that it hid both hands and feet well—

"What's that? Hospital gowns? ”

After Xia Jing unintentionally asked the question, the girl, Lin Yu, shrank in fright.

"Didn't I tell you not to be afraid, Lin Yu...... It's rude, Xia Jing, her suspicion is twice as strong as others. ”

“…… Belch. ”

It's not because of introversion or fear of life, but because suspicion is stronger than others?

"That, that."

Lin Wei cringed and said to Xia Jing, "Hello, I'm Lin Yu. Summer ...... Brother. ”

As the appearance suggests, the little girl did not speak very clearly.

"Ah, I'm Xia Jing, please advise."

Xia Jing had never introduced himself face-to-face with a child like this, and he really didn't know how to react, so he had to introduce himself in the usual way. So Lin Yu raised his gaze slightly to look at Ye Ya, and said with an uneasy expression: "Is this person going to be my sister's husband in the future?" ”

"yes, that's right."

"Hey, that's obviously wishful thinking on your ......"

Xia Jing couldn't help but complain about Ye Ya, who answered confidently.

Lin Yu asked, "Isn't it?" ”

Lin Yu's eyes narrowed suddenly.

"If not, then Brother Xia Jing is my sister's enemy?"

"Well, it's not an enemy either......"

As soon as Xia Jing raised his sloppy eyes, the mouth of the girl in front of him opened slightly.

"Not to be trusted!"

Then, as if in her mouth, she muttered, "It's better to kill it." ”

“…… Wait a minute, what did you just say? ”

Hearing it, Xia Jing heard it clearly.

“…… They didn't say anything. ”

What does that moment of silence mean? You said 'kill', right? ”

"Lin Yu, Xia Jing is not an enemy. Can't you even trust me? ”

"I didn't. Good...... I know. Brother Xia Jing is not an enemy. I'm not going to kill him, I'm not going to hit him. I'm not going to do anything to him. But only now. ”

"What do you mean only now......

Xia Jing can also understand the reason why Ye Ya will say that she is suspicious. This is undoubtedly a sign of suspicion. It's just suspicion, and it can't be confused with shyness. And the reason why Anno will use the vague word 'the reason is complicated' is self-evident. To put it bluntly, this little girl has never trusted herself. So did she show up only after Ye Ya's three urgings and four invitations?

- But then again, it's not just twice as much as a human being.

"Please give me a lot of advice and care, Brother Xia Jing."

Although Lin Yu bowed and saluted, Xia Jing's cheeks were still stiff.

"Lin Yu, there is tea, do you want to drink it?"

Maybe he wanted to relieve the tense atmosphere, and Anye said to Lin Yu while saying hello.

Lin Yu faintly smiled in proportion to his age, and walked away from Ye Ya's side towards Anai, who was kneeling in the living room, and then sat down on Anai's lap generously.

"Ana, I want tea."

"Yes, Lord Lin Yu."

Holding Lin Yu, Anai took the tea from Anno's hand. Lin Yu put his mouth close to the teacup that Anai held in front of his eyes, took a sip, and muttered, "No poison." ”

"How can it be poisonous?"

Probably because he was used to Lin Yu's attitude for a long time. I saw An Ye answer with a wry smile.

"Lin Yu, she likes Anai the most."

The expression on Ye Ya's face nested in the kotsu was as if he was looking at a shocking picture, and his tone was very gentle.

Lin Yu nodded in agreement.

"Hmm. People like Anai the most...... Because the dead don't lie. ”

Xia Jing's mouth was wide open and couldn't be closed anymore.

Lin Yu hung his hands aside, and Anai helped feed him with a teacup, looking like he was drinking with relish. The loose hospital gown that confused Xia Jing at the beginning seemed to be no longer important.

In this way, Xia Jing's heart was disrupted by this suspicious girl. The living room, which originally thought that one birth and two years of maturity could finally be handled calmly, suddenly turned into a different space that was as tense as when he first arrived because of Lin Yu's existence.

And in this subtle atmosphere, what unfolds slowly and logically is actually a game of life.

It is carried out in a retro way on a paper plate. There doesn't seem to be a TV game in the house. But even with a play instrument, it's painful to have so many people crammed into front of the small TV on the shelf to play games.

"That's right, Xia Jing."

"Well, what's wrong?"

Ye Ya said to the dumbfounded Xia Jing with a stunned expression: "I have been at the bottom since just now. ”

"Ahh

Xia Jing replied inappropriately. But—

“…… Summer view. ”

Ya's cavity was even more prickly than before.

"To be a husband is to put your wife first. Isn't it? ”

"If you ignore the two major premises that you and I are not husband and wife, and that your values are so advanced that even European and American countries in human society will put question marks, what you said is roughly right."

"In the matriarchal society of the deer clan, the wife is the head of the family."

Yasuno added on the side. That's because only females are born, so men are all in the body.

"Ahh......h And then, what is the point you want to express? ”

"I hate being at the bottom, let's swap pieces!"

This princess here is also arrogant and unreasonable.

“…… Do you know the rules of the game? ”

"I'm also the next patriarch, what's the reason why I have to live a life at the bottom? ……”

"That's also your own transfer, I advise you to die!"

Ye Ya, who was angry like a child, was really funny, and it also made Xia Jing laugh.

"What are you laughing at, are you so gloating when you see your wife's misfortune!"

"That's why you're not my wife!"

"Ah, it seems that our married life is not happy and happy. I will definitely be confined in the corner of the house in the future, treated by my beloved husband and treated me with tears every night. ”

"Don't say things that would ruin my image......"

"Sister, I think it's better to kill him on the spot?"

"Don't kill! We're just playing a game!"

What's going on with these guys. Did I do anything? I didn't do anything other than play games.

It's just that with Lin Yu's unreasonable existence, I feel that the situation has become even more unfavorable than before. If it was reasonable and reasonable, it would be okay for Anyeken to play a round, but-

The Saturday afternoon passed slowly in a rather harmonious atmosphere.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long.

When it gets dark, everyone eats together. After enjoying the hot pot around the fireplace, I borrowed the bathroom to take a shower, and then began to enjoy a relaxing and leisurely time - by the time Xia Jing came back to his senses, it was past ten o'clock in the evening in the blink of an eye.
