The pupils that radiated mischievous brilliance like a cat could not be seen at all as an old woman who was nearly eighty years old.

With a silver bell-like laugh, Yumemi Okazaki waved her hand to Ji Yuehua, and then left in the direction behind him.

I was tempted to ask, "Isn't the next bus five hours away?", but finally escaped from the clutches of the other party, and only fools would ask for trouble, and it was more important to get down to business.

Present.

After raising his hand to say goodbye to Yumemi Okazaki, Ji Yuehua also took a step towards the house that the other party had just signaled.

It's only half a minute.

In half a minute, he could meet Dongfang Canglong.

But what should he say after meeting this senior?

Is it better to apologize for not succeeding in keeping the oath you took in the first place? Or should you be straightforward about your intentions here?

No, until then...... The next thing he is about to see, is the old man who lives in the house still the Dongfang Canglong in his memory?

Before I knew it, my heart beat twice as fast.

At this time, Ji Yuehua had already come to the main entrance of the house. Just as he was hesitating outside the door......

"The door is not locked. Now that you're here, let's just come in. What are you hesitating outside the door, are you afraid that I, an old man who is about to die, will eat you?"

It was as if they had noticed his coming.

Although he was old, he was still full of energy, so loud that it was impossible to imagine that it was the voice of an eighty-year-old man coming from the house, reaching into the sky.

Ahh

Many years ago, it was this voice that led him to establish the values of protecting women, directing many people, including him, to fight the aliens on the front lines. Although he did not strictly possess "his own will" at that time, even now he does not regret it, but regards it as an iron law.

It's different from his half-ass. A veritable legend, as long as you see that majestic figure, your heart will naturally be inspired, and courage will arise spontaneously.

Why, exactly?

Obviously, he resisted the fact that his idol might have become senile, not so much hating it, but not wanting to accept the fact. However, upon hearing this familiar voice, the fear in my heart melted away in an instant.

In the end, all that was left in my heart was a faint helplessness.

Seeing that the other party had already sent out an invitation, Ji Yuehua pushed open the originally closed door with a wry smile on her face.

Compared to Yukino's house in Tachibana, this house is more than twice as small.

There's no need to push open the second door or go around the corner. After stepping into the interior of the house, the familiar figure immediately met Ji Yuehua's eyes.

At the same time.

When they saw the faces of the visitors, they were stunned as if they had seen something incredible, and the people standing in the garden were stunned.

It's like a scar that can split the face in two. Frosty snow hair that shines in the sunlight in line with the majesty that emanates from her body.

The straight back, the muscles of the arms, the size of a log, the muscles of the steel, contain the gaze of a strong and arrogant will.

More importantly, the competitiveness and refusal to admit defeat that will not succumb to anyone else. That's the momentum of the king and the hegemon.

Whether it's a lion who is the overlord of the grassland, or a brown bear that dominates the mountains, these animals are not enough to describe this old man.

Although the left sleeve is empty, it is as if he does not take it seriously at all, and lives leisurely. Even though I am already a handful of years, there are several times more wrinkles on my face than before...... The old man in front of him was still the person he remembered.

The military marshal who never knew what fear was, smashed all the difficulties blocked in front of him with a pair of fists, and could shut up with one look ———— Dongfang Canglong.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and each saw the surprise in each other's pupils.

Seconds later......

"Hahaha, old man, I was thinking just now, this is in the middle of nowhere, and it is one of the most inconspicuous corners of the country, and the old man I have been incognito for a long time, which idler came to me? It turned out to be you little doll! Come on, come here! It's a pity that Mengmei has just gone out, and there is no way for her to make you tea. ”

Just like in Ji Yuehua's memory, the familiar sound of laughter echoed in the garden.

There was no sign of aging, and the passage of time and the death of old friends did not leave any visible scars on each other's bodies.

It's still so straightforward, refreshing, tough, and heroic. The image of a typical hero makes people feel broken at the moment they see it.

Seeing that the demeanor of the former seniors is still the same, it stands to reason that he should be happy. After all, it was impossible for an old man who looked like a dry bone to serve as his special training opponent.

However, the truth is that the troubles of the previous moment have been forgotten along with their own intentions......

Unconsciously, the corners of Ji Yuehua's mouth hooked up a smile. In a tone like seeing an old friend, he replied calmly.

“...... You really like to joke about it. Even if you really want to make tea, in terms of seniority and qualifications, it should be me who makes tea. Long time no see, old man of the East. By the way, on the way here, I already met with Commander Okazaki. ”

"Oh? That's right, not long after she went out on the front foot, your little doll came on the back foot. It's also a matter of course to bump into it. What do you think? What did you just say?"

"It's mostly trivial things...... For example, I was found out about attending a funeral halfway up the mountain, and will you go to the mountains to guide the brown bear's cultivation...... Having said that, old man of the East, do you know what Commander Okazaki said about going to be a consultant to a lovely junior?"

"Well, it's not so much a junior, it's better to say it's hers...... No, I can't tell you this little doll about it. Otherwise, I'll be killed, old man. ”

"Hey, is it so serious? When I first talked to Commander Okazaki, I didn't think she was angry with you, the old man. ”

"No, it's not Yumemi, it's someone else. You little doll also knows how thin that doll is and how scary it is to be angry...... I'm already a handful of old man, and I'm afraid I can't stand this old bone with an enhanced version of a special laxative or something...... No, are you playing tricks on me, little doll? Old man, I can't say it, that is, I can't say it, don't waste it anymore. ”

It seems that there is really something unspeakable.

Dongfang Canglong had a complicated expression on his face that he didn't know whether it was helpless or entangled, and he glanced at Ji Yuehua angrily.

"Let's get down to business. Although I want to talk a little longer, old man, after all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but the expression on your face, little doll, doesn't look like you are simply coming to me to catch up with the old man...... Say it, little doll. Why did you suddenly come to me, a retired old man, today?"
