"Nanami Hashimoto! The next time you're messing around like this, you'll see how I'll clean you up! Mai Shiraishi yelled loudly at Nana Hashimoto on the other end of the phone, although the tone was very bad, but Nana Hashimoto on the other end could hear Mai Shiraishi's deep concern for herself.

"I'm sorry, Mai, I don't want to." Nana Hashimoto begged for mercy with guilt: "Don't be angry, I didn't expect that the mountain boy's rice ball would have such a big side effect!" As soon as the effect of the drug passed, I fainted, and I didn't want to. ”

"Well, I'm also at fault, I shouldn't have asked Yaga to give you the mountain boy's rice balls." Mai Shiraishi mentioned this problem, and she was also ashamed on her face, after all, Nana Hashimoto did not faint because of her own negligence, which caused her to eat the rice balls of the mountain boy, so Mai Shiraishi put away her dissatisfaction and slowed down her tone: "Nanamin, are you okay now?" Where are you now? ”

"I'm in the hospital now, and I'm actually fine, but my agent, Sang, asked me to stay in the hospital for another day of observation." Nanami Hashimoto's voice was languid, and she didn't seem quite satisfied that she was left in the hospital.

Mai Shiraishi heard Nanami Hashimoto say that she was fine, and she was suddenly a little dissatisfied: "Nanami Hashimoto! You obediently stayed in the hospital for me, listening to the doctor, and the doctor said that you can only be discharged when you are fine, do you know? Don't let yourself be reckless! ”

"But I'm really fine!" Nanami Hashimoto seemed to be suppressing a smile in her tone, and she didn't care about Mai Shiraishi's stop at her, but explained to her with a smile in her tone: "I'm the same as Mai like you now." ”

"Like me? Nanamin, what do you mean by that? Mai Shiraishi was a little puzzled by Nanami Hashimoto's words, and she didn't understand what she meant.

"It's your birthday present to me, that pendant, have you forgotten? I used it up, and now it's the same as Mai you. Due to the reason that it was inconvenient to say on the phone, Nana Hashimoto was a little unclear, but she still let Mai Shiraishi understand what she wanted to say.

"Nanamin, you mean you ...... too" Mai Shiraishi was so excited that she almost missed her mouth, but she quickly reacted and suppressed the excitement in her heart: "Nanamin, didn't you want to start with?" Why is it used again now? Have you figured it out? ”

"Isn't the result the same if you want to get through it or not?" Although Nanami Hashimoto's tone was full of laughter, Mai Shiraishi still heard the meaning of self-deprecation: "What I insist on, under the huge difference, has no meaning at all. Take me so tired that I fainted this time, if it was a sackcloth-like you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even feel tired, right? So I figured it out and used that thing. ”

"Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with? Is there anything like I used to be? Nana Hashimoto said that she had used up the pendant, which reminded Mai Shiraishi that she couldn't control her state when she was just demonized, so she asked Nanami Hashimoto with concern: "Nanamin, you have to remember that you can't be too excited!" ”

"Don't worry, Mai, I still know this kind of thing." Nana Hashimoto didn't listen to Mai Shiraishi's concern on the phone, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth: "But I may have to dye my hair, what do you think of me dyeing my hair blue?" ”

"Blue? Will the operation allow you to dye your hair blue? Mai Shiraishi understood what Nana Hashimoto was talking about, and after thinking for a while, she persuaded her: "Let's come back and talk about it, Nanamin, you should be careful not to show flaws first." ”

"I see, don't worry, Mai. I probably have a few days left, and I can go back after shooting. When I get back, we'll talk about it. Nana Hashimoto didn't estimate her workload and found that she would be able to finish next week, so she told Mai Shiraishi when she would go back and hung up the phone.

At this time, the agent who went out to buy lunch for Nana Hashimoto just pushed the door in, Nanami Hashimoto looked at him and smiled, and suddenly asked, "Agent-san, how about you say that I have long hair and dye it blue?" ”

"Huh? Dye your hair? The agent carried the lunch box in his hand, looking inexplicable.

"Manman! I'm back! The white-haired man he had seen before with the needle girl and the corpse dance crow used the wooden knife in his hand to open the curtain and walked into a grass dumpling shop called Yinya, and shouted to the shop: "Aunt Sakura, I'm back, do you have anything to eat?" I'm starving! ”

"Really, Ah Yin, how can you be the same as your father, so idle every day, how can any girl be willing to marry you!" The proprietress of the shop handed over a plate of straw dumplings that had been prepared in advance to her son Mannan, and asked him to serve them to the man known as Ah Yin.

"Ah Yin, mom is right, you really should find a serious job, just idle like this, isn't it a waste of your good youth?" The proprietress 's son brought the straw dumplings to Ah Yin, and while cleaning up the table after the other guests had finished eating, he persuaded Ah Yin in a serious voice.

"I know, Mannan, I'll go out and look for a job, you and Aunt Sakura don't have to worry about me. One day, I will find a wife as beautiful as my mother, just like my father! Ah Yin was eating grass dumplings and said to the boss's son, Mannan.

"Really, the good thing about Brother Injiro is that you haven't learned at all, and you have learned ten out of ten in the matter of his idleness and love to talk big. When will you be able to find a wife like Ah Quan like Mannan, and bring it back for us to see! The proprietress Sakura put down her work and walked out of the kitchen, sitting next to him while counting Ah Yin, and brought him a cup of barley tea.

Ah Yin was counted down by his aunt, but there was no impatient look on his face, he just looked at his aunt flatteringly, and then picked up the teacup and drank, and said with some slurred words while drinking: "I've been trying to find a job recently, Aunt Sakura." I will soon be able to find a suitable job, and I will not come to eat when the time comes. And I met a very beautiful girl yesterday, and I've decided to make her my wife! ”

"It would be nice if it was true, don't be like your father, who says that he has found true love every time, but in the end, it is not that people have already had lovers." The proprietress Sakura looked at her nephew, her face was full of distress, as if she was worried about her nephew's future, after thinking for a while, the proprietress Sakura said: "Otherwise, Ah Yin, you can just help in the house from tomorrow, the store really needs to hire a guy recently, in addition to helping with the work, it is just right to deliver takeaways." Ah Yin, like your father, you are a stubborn character. Hey, I don't know what your mother likes about your father, but if only a girl also took a fancy to you. ”

"Mom should have taken a fancy to Dad's kindness, enthusiasm and open-mindedness, after all, Mom is ......" Ah Yin mentioned his parents, and his expression became a little nostalgic. Sakura, the proprietress on the side, interrupted him.

"Didn't you stop mentioning your mother's business!" The proprietress Sakura looked around and saw that there were no customers in the store, and no one was eavesdropping outside, so she lowered her voice and said, "Is it okay to talk nonsense about your mother's identity?" Now the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's countermeasures room is all over Tokyo to catch people like your mother, even though you are only half bloodlined, who knows if they will arrest you! ”

"It's okay, Aunt Sakura. The countermeasures room is only to catch criminals, how can the police arrest me if I am law-abiding. Ah Yin comforted her aunt with some carelessness, and after thinking about it for a while, she still accepted her aunt's kindness: "Since Aunt Sakura said so, then I will come to the store to deliver food from tomorrow." ”

"That's right, a man has to have a job before he can find a girl who likes you." When the proprietress Sakura heard that Ah Yin promised to stay in the store from tomorrow to help, her face showed joy: "Ah Yin, you said before that you fell in love with a girl, what kind of girl is it?" Do you know what people do? Bring it back another day for my aunt to see. ”

"I see, Aunt Sakura, I will!" Ah Yin took a big bite of the grass dumplings, his face was full of happy smiles, but he didn't dare to tell the proprietress Sakura, he just saw the needle girl at a glance: "Aunt Sakura, your craftsmanship is still so good, you have eaten so many grass dumplings, or Chai and Aunt here, you make the most delicious!" ”

"If you like to eat, eat more, nothing else, Ah Yin, you want to eat grass dumplings, there are as many as you want." The proprietress Sakura looked at Ah Yin, who seemed to be hungry, and felt a little distressed: "Ah Yin, you will stay with your aunt tonight, the room where your father slept in the past can be used by you." Tomorrow, it's better to get up early and work with Mannan. ”

"Okay, Aunt Sakura!" Ah Yin swallowed the dumpling in his hand and agreed to his aunt with a smile.

————————————————

Early the next morning, Ah Yin got up early and began to get busy with his aunt, uncle and cousin Mannan. Although Ah Yin wanted to help his aunt and uncle make straw dumplings together, he was clumsy and had never learned how to make straw dumplings, so he was quickly driven aside by his aunt and followed his cousin Mannan to clean up the tables and chairs in the store.

Soon, Ah Yin and Mitsuo are ready to open the store, while the proprietress Sakura and her husband Abo are seriously making the grass dumplings to be sold today. The leaves of mugwort are used as raw materials, and because no preservatives are added, they cannot be eaten the next day, so all the balls must be made by the proprietress Sakura herself every morning.

Aunt Ain's Kudango shop is located in the Katsura Ward in northeastern Tokyo, a small place called Shibamata. This area is relatively remote, and there is a river called the Edogawa River to the east of Shibamata, and Matsudo City is to the east of the river. Therefore, it does not have the feeling of a big city, and it is more like a county seat, and you have to take the subway to get to Tokyo.

Therefore, Ain's father often introduced himself with a sentence on his lips: "I grew up in Tokyo, Katsushika Shibata, I was raised by the water of the emperor, my surname is Che, my name is Injiro, and everyone calls me 'crazy Ain'." And Ah Yin's name also comes from the words that his father often puts on his lips.

The most famous of Shibamata is the Emperor Shakuten Shrine, which is also called Shibamata Emperor Shakten, but the official name is Jingeizan Inscription Temple. Aunt Yin's Kudanko shop is located on the approach to the shrine. It is an old street that has a history of several hundred years, and it still retains the traditional style of Tokyo, so it is often visited by tourists, so Aunt Yin's grass dumpling shop is doing good business every day.

After cleaning the house with Mannan, Ain and Mano moved the straw balls made by the proprietress Sakura out of the kitchen and put them on the counter on the side of the road. Although some customers come into the store to eat, more people buy snacks like grass dumplings and eat them while walking. In recent years, with the development of commerce, some people who are reluctant to go out have begun to order takeout by phone and deliver it to their homes, and Ah Yin's job is to deliver goods to these customers who call to order takeout.

Riding on the electric car in the store, Ah Yin replaced his baseball cap with a helmet, and after the man confirmed that the goods to be delivered were all placed, Ah Yin set off on the electric car.

The people on the old street of the Emperor's Tenzando are basically old residents who have lived here for decades, and everyone is very familiar with them, and some of the older people have watched Ah Yin grow up, and even know his father Injiro very well. Therefore, watching Ah Yin ride an electric car with a flag hanging on Yinwu to go out to deliver takeaways, everyone greeted him enthusiastically, and at the same time, they were also curious, how could the son of "crazy Ah Yin" work seriously.

However, Ah Yin didn't care about the curious eyes of these neighbors, and what he was thinking about now on the electric car was to work hard to repay Aunt Sakura's family for their care. And Ah Yin also has some careful thoughts in his heart, that is, as Aunt Sakura said, work hard, save a sum of money, and then marry a beautiful wife.

Thinking of the needle girl she had seen before, Ah Yin couldn't help but think that it would be great if she could marry such a beautiful girl as a wife. I just don't know if she will discriminate against herself as a half-demon.,It's like when I saw the needle girl that day.,The crow said that they were the Nine-Tails group who controlled Tokyo.,It sounds like a great youkai organization.,If you stay in Tokyo.,There should be a chance to see her again, right?

Ah Yin thought about what he didn't have, and soon rode his electric car to the place where he was going to deliver today, in front of an old warehouse not too far from the Emperor's Tenzando. Ah Yin remembers that this old warehouse has been abandoned before, and when he was a child, he came here to play hide and seek with Mannan, and used this place as a secret base, but now it has been restored? Ah Yin looked at the old warehouse, which seemed to have been renovated, and knocked on the door.
