"Sister, sister...... I'm embarrassed to look like this......"

"Rub~"

In the study, Kenshin-chan, who was happily rubbed on her face by the lively Aya-gozen, blushed with shame and struggled to pull down her sister, who was tightly wrapped around her like an octopus.

"Chu, Chu Xuan is still here...... You're so rude. ”

Qianxin-chan glanced at Chu Xuan very embarrassed, her majesty...... This moment he was completely lost in front of Chu Xuan.

"It's okay, Chu Xuan won't care."

Aya Yuqian said casually without care, and Chu Xuan also maintained an expressionless expression very cooperatively, really not caring about the appearance of these beautiful girls in front of him.

(I care!) ）

Kenshin, who felt very shy, thought so, and at the same time ripped the clingy sister off his body more resolutely.

However, although Ayagozen has always publicly called her sister "Kenshin-chan", she will never do such a thing that damages her sister's majesty in front of "outsiders"; And although Kenshin-chan is a little shy now, she is not angry, probably she also thinks that there are no "outsiders" here.

"Well...... Really, Qianxin-chan liked to be rubbed by your sister when you were young, and it seems that you have grown up...... My sister is so lonely......"

Ayagozen, who was dragged down by her sister by grabbing the back collar like a cat, pretended to be resentful, but Kenshin-chan was completely immune to her sister's deception, and she could clearly feel her sister's true thoughts in her heart, so she didn't pay attention to her sister's performance at all.

"Touch~"

"Meow~"

Seeing that her sister was not fooled at all, just as boring as Chu Xuan, Ayago immediately gave up the performance, and happily touched the head of the half-blood female ninja Haru, and unexpectedly made her squint her eyes comfortably, and made a cat-like meow.

Of course, the two little friends who wanted to escape secretly, Naori Naoe and the glamorous female version of Keiji Maeda, eventually fell into the clutches of Ayago Gozen, but everyone's mood was very happy.

Obviously, when Aya Yuqian was alone with Chu Xuan, she was quieter and more ...... An introverted girl, but she has always acted as the glue for her sister, so that Qianxin-chan, who must maintain the majesty of the head of the family, can also have a truly close friend, so as not to become a loner.

"Recently, it's the first time my sister has been so happy.

Mr. Chu Xuan, have you encountered anything good? ”

Kenshin-chan looked at Aya-gozen and her friends laughing and laughing with mother-like eyes, and he came to Chu Xuan's side, softly asking him and Aya-gozen about their intentions.

The two sisters are too gentle, the elder sister is obviously like a mother, who has been protecting her sister's happiness behind her back, but she likes to pretend to be a sister in front of her sister; And the younger sister has been trying hard to take the role of a mother, to protect the sister who has always protected her, and does not hesitate to sacrifice her own happiness for this.

The two of them are just like Ou? Like the couple in Henry's short story "The Gift of the Magi", the wife sells her hair in order to buy her husband a white gold bracelet as a Christmas present; For the same purpose, the husband sold his heirloom gold watch and bought his wife a set of hair combs.

But...... In this case, neither of the sisters can be happy.

"If that's a good thing...... Probably because she took another step towards her wishes. ”

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, answered Qianxin-chan's question very vaguely, and then took the initiative to change the topic:

"However, we were just outside the door, and we heard a good thing."

"Is it outside the door...... When you say 'good deeds', do you mean pointing out Yun Aguo? ”

Qian Xinchan's attention was indeed smoothly diverted, and he turned his head to look at Chu Xuan's resolute side face, and his gaze seemed to be a little complicated.

Although she didn't think Chu Xuan would think so...... But could it be that Chu Xuan also wanted to get in touch with Ah Guo, or even leave the Uesugi family?

"If Afghanistan does not come to eliminate the disaster and pray for blessings, it will definitely encounter a locust plague this year, and the water conservancy construction in Echigo is also quite backward, and the grain output will definitely be greatly reduced due to the dual impact of the locust plague and drought."

Chu Xuan replied very calmly with a poker face.

"W-Really?"

Suddenly hearing such serious bad news, the smile on Kenshin-chan's face immediately disappeared, and he asked very seriously.

Although Chu Xuan and Qian Xinchan didn't speak loudly, it wasn't small, so the other people in the study also stopped laughing and straightened their attitudes.

After all, locust plagues and droughts are a big deal for everyone in this world, because even if they are military generals, it is impossible for them not to skip food - on the contrary, this powerful body needs much more energy than ordinary people, and even the most ladylike military generals are definitely a "big rice bucket".

"Ahhh......h Don't worry too much, didn't Chu Xuan already tell the news in advance? ”

At this moment, Ayago was still holding the black long straight Lori Naoe and continuing to comfort everyone without worrying - she should have been shocked a long time ago.

"Locust plagues and droughts...... Could it be that Mr. Chu Xuan still has the ability to predict? ”

As the "housekeeper's wife", Naoe Kanesu straightened up in the arms of Ayago and asked Chu Xuan very seriously.

"No, it's not a 'prophecy,' it's a 'prediction.'

In fact, if you don't have the relevant knowledge, just take a walk around the mountain town of Chunyue, and you can also get a similar conclusion to my prediction from experienced farmers. ”

Chu Xuan also replied very seriously, but his words made Kenshin-chan and Naoe Kane-su both blush.

As a military general at the top of power, even if they were originally just ordinary peasant girls, they have long since broken away from the life of "inferior" in the past, how can they think about contacting farmers again?

"It turns out that you were wandering around Echigo before...... There's also this factor in it......"

Hei Changzhi Lori Naoe continued to mutter, and the eyes looking at Chu Xuan also changed a little.

Then she took away Aya's hand, and knelt down to Kenshin-chan to plead guilty:

"Although His Majesty is not sure whether Mr. Chu Xuan's speculation will come true, His Majesty believes that if he is not sure enough, Mr. Chu Xuan will not speak casually.

His Majesty was a follower, but he ignored the thoughts of the common people, so that the lord did not get this important news in time, and asked the lord to surrender! ”

"Concurrent...... It doesn't have to be so, although I keep saying that I want the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, haven't I also thought of understanding their thoughts face to face?

If there is a mistake, it is first and foremost in myself. ”

Kenshin-chan showed a look of shame and took the lead in reviewing his mistakes.

However, this era was originally like this, the gap between military generals and ordinary people, especially civilians, is an insurmountable gap, even if Kenshin-chan and others want to understand the thoughts of ordinary people, most ordinary people will only kneel on the ground tremblingly, and they can't say anything, let alone say what they really think in their hearts.

"You don't have to be in a hurry to review yourself, the news that there will be locust plagues and droughts this year is something that only I can be sure of now in Echigo, even the most experienced old farmers.

Although anyone who knows how to do agriculture knows that 'locusts will come after a long drought', accurately judging the severity of drought and locust conditions requires much more knowledge than that, and it cannot be achieved by relying solely on experience. ”

Chu Xuan's glasses interrupted Qian Xinchan's words reflectively, and said indifferently.

In order to accurately predict the weather, in addition to the need for a large amount of meteorological data, a supercomputer is also needed to handle the huge amount of calculations, so in a world where there is no "tree diagram designer" or any other supercomputer, only Chu Xuan can handle such a huge amount of calculations alone.

"Indeed...... The peasants have always watched the sky and eaten, and if some kind of disaster happens, the only ones they can rely on are shrine maidens and prayers.

However, if possible, I would like to learn from Mr. Chu Xuan about predicting disasters.

In addition to locust plagues and droughts, can floods, snowstorms, typhoons, earthquakes, and even volcanic eruptions be predicted through 'knowledge'? ”

Hei Changzhi Lori Naoe Kanexu showed a slightly curious expression, and asked Chu Xuan again in a more respectful and polite tone than before.

"Yes."

Chu Xuan nodded affirmatively, and then pushed down his reflective glasses.

"But using 'knowledge' to predict disasters, or to do something else, takes a lot of time, manpower, and money, and it doesn't work right away.

One of the purposes for which I have come here today is to ask Kenshin to approve the transfer of certain human, material, and financial resources by Ayago.

-- Of course, it is not used for disaster prediction, but for certain projects that can produce faster results and quickly increase productivity and combat effectiveness.

In short, there are a lot of things that need Kenshin's approval this time, so I'll explain them one by one later, but now I'll solve the problems related to Izumo Akuni. ”

After listening to Chu Xuan's words, everyone, in fact, only Kenshin-chan and Naoe Kansu, once again devoted their attention to Izumo's Ah Kuni.

After thinking for a while, the smart black long straight Lori asked Chu Xuan in a consultative tone:

"Because of the foresight of the lord, we didn't decide to ban Izumo Akuni from entering Echigo, so if we take this opportunity to ask them to dance two kagura dances to eliminate locusts and drought especially for Echigo, this matter can already be satisfactorily resolved, right?"

"No...... What a prescience, I just think that it is contrary to 'righteousness'......"

Kenshin-chan felt a little blushing, and hurriedly interjected, rejecting the praise that did not belong to her. (To be continued.) )
