Chapter 26: The Eternal Bird (4)
"Is Kaguya's friend here? This is really strange...... "Because her house has been vacated, Alice has to find another place to continue her magical research after lunch. Her life has been much more regular lately, going out to perform puppet shows in the morning, customarily deepening and transforming her puppet magic in the afternoon, and preparing for tomorrow morning's performance in the evening, which is really fulfilling......
Compared with the usual lazy big monster, Alice's diligence can be said to be a little abnormal, but Ye Yu thinks that this is not bad, it is much better to have something to do than to be bored at home...... It's not because he's been so busy lately that he can't see others idle!
"Looks like the last time she met at the market." Alice said while helping Ye Yu simulate the effect of the alchemy circle, "It looks quite well-behaved, and the etiquette is not bad." β
"Yes, that's good...... Kaguya's kid always stays at home, even if he goes out once in a while, it's great to have a kid willing to be her friend. Ah, the lines of the magic circle on Ai-chan's side are smoother, and the output of his magic power is controlled like this...... "Ye Yu instructed the movements of Alice's hands, these magic arrays are only for experiments, and it is best to give her to practice."
"But I'll take a look later, after all, it's Kaguya's friend~~" Okay, Ye Yu is actually just curious about what the current sister Hong looks like, "If you can, it's good to leave her here for dinner or something......" Ye Yu estimated the progress after that, and the part to do today is roughly the same, so it's no problem to stop.
"Then I'll let Mengzi prepare~~ Anyway, our family hasn't had a banquet for a long time......" Speaking of this, Alice suddenly became interested, speaking of which, the only ones who usually live in Dye Ye Xuan are the two sisters and Ye Yu. Shenqi's words have to go back to the demon world from time to time, and Yuxiang still prefers more flower fields than here...... After all, it's a flower demon. After leaving the flowers, I always felt that something was missing.
But fortunately, the three places of the Demon Realm, Dyeing Ye Xuan, and the Dream Pavilion are all connected together by spatial magic, so I don't think there will be any sense of distance at all.
"Banquet...... Not bad. As long as I don't shout at those noisy ghosts, I have no problem. "In the past few days, they have really annoyed Ye Yu. These drunkards came to dye Ye Xuan either to find wine to drink or to pull Ye Yu to fight for wine, so that the inventory he had saved so hard was reduced by more than half...... This makes the dragon who is greedy for money by nature feel distressed......
Another is that Ye Yu's family looks no different from the human category no matter what, but when the ghost clan comes, it will be difficult to hide the horns on their heads. In order not to let Kaguya's identity be exposed so quickly in front of Mei Hong, Ye Yu also felt that it was necessary to make special arrangements.
"Okay, I got it." Alice was not half dissatisfied with Ye Yu's request, in fact, although places with ghost clans would naturally become lively, but Alice said that in the final analysis, she still didn't like to be noisy...... It's nice to sit quietly and have a meal together as a family, isn't it? It's just that in this way, the so-called banquet is essentially no different from a family dinner on a regular night.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
After Alice ran to Yumeko to discuss the matter of the banquet in the evening, Ye Yu finished the hasty handling of the work in his hand, and then he planned to go to Kaguya to have a look. After all, his daughter's friend came to the house. If you don't see each other yourself, it's not appropriate anyway...... Probably.
Thinking like this, Ye Yu went to the kitchen to get some delicate snacks and drinks suitable for little girls, and knocked on the door outside Kaguya House as if he was bringing them food.
"Father?!" Kazuya was obviously a little surprised by Ye Yu's arrival, but at this time, she only frowned slightly and then pretended to be abrupt and walked over, politely took the tray with food from Ye Yu's hand, and then pulled him into the house and introduced, "Father, this is Fujiwara Meihong, a concubine's friend, what a cute child." β
"You...... Hello...... "Mei Hong never expected that the person who was called Kaguya's father was such a delicate-looking little boy in front of her, but now she can't help but think about anything. Anyway, how to make a good impression in front of Ye Yu was the first thing she had to consider, "I'm Fujiwara Meihong." The sudden visit was really tiring......"
Mei Hong stood up and saluted Ye Yu very well, she couldn't see the somewhat perverse and arrogant appearance in the future at all, and now Mei Hong was just a cute child who hadn't seen much in the market and was a little timid.
"No need to be so polite, since you're Kaguya's friend, it's better to make this place your home." Ye Yu, who said this, casually looked at the layout in the room. When he saw the chessboard on the table again, he asked again, "What?" Are you playing chess......"
"Well, yes," probably the gentleness in Ye Yu's tone made Mei Hong feel at ease a little. In this way, she replied to Ye Yu's words more steadily than just now, "But I'm not too good at it." It's always Kaguya-sister who has been teaching me. β
"It's good to hone your chess skills slowly, then you can continue to play, and I won't bother." Ye Yu, who said this, was like a father who had simply come to bring food to his daughter, ready to get up and say goodbye. But Kaguya subconsciously felt as if he had learned something from just a few words before...... There's no reason to just feel that way.
"Oh yes, if there's nothing to do, stay here for dinner at night, and then I'll let Kaguya send you back." Ye Yu, who walked out of the door, closed the sliding door after speaking, which was completely a posture that did not allow Meihong to refuse.
Ye Yu's words made Mei Hong a little distressed, originally she was chasing Bubi and waiting, but after chasing and lost, she accidentally saw the lovely son that her father had been thinking about for a long time, and finally had dinner at her house...... What's this called?
That's right, from Kaguya's introduction just now, Mei Hong knew that she was the big beauty who stirred up the entire Heianjing, but the surprising Mei Hong didn't feel anything wrong. Originally, she just wanted to see what kind of person could make a momentary handsome man like her father fascinated, but when she knew that the other party was Kaguya, all her thoughts were relieved.
If it's Kaguya...... Anyone would be fascinated by her. Mei Hong has always believed in this.
"Father is right, Meihong will stay here at night. If you don't want to go back and stay for one night, it's nothing, there are still a lot of guest rooms~~" Kaguya's invitation made Mei Hong unable to decide at all, and after weighing it a little, she nodded slightly and agreed, and now Kaguya became more and more happy.
"Na, Mei Hong is so cute, why don't you just come and be the sister of the concubine......" She hugged Mei Hong from behind and said, but she was stunned for a moment, but Mei Hong didn't know how to answer......
"Are you really qualified to say yes?" Mei Hong asked herself, "Can I stay by her side just like this?" Even if it's just to be a foil behind her...... this thought can no longer be suppressed, wrapped in Kaguya's tenderness, Mei Hong knows that she can't leave her anymore, if such a luxury can be satisfied......
"That's my pleasure, sister......" (To be continued......
