"Good afternoon! ”

Equally curious about our arrival, the kappa girl immediately greeted me.

"Well, good afternoon. ”

I was busy making jelly for Kirino when I got it, but when it was ready, I didn't see her, and I thought she was gone!

"Gee, what are you doing here?"

Marisa kept clutching her head, and as soon as these people arrived, all her plans were disrupted.

"Come and see what you're up to?"

Seeing her visibly depressed expression, I smiled softly and tossed a large bag in my hand to her.

"This is for you. ”

"What...... Ah, good ice. ”

As soon as Marisa grabbed the bag, she felt a chill pass through her hand. Quickly opened the bag and looked inside, her face immediately turned cloudy and clear.

"Wow, that's a good thing!"

The girl hurriedly took out a round and very large green-skinned watermelon from it, and jumped around excitedly in her hand.

"Dongfang you are really good, in return, I let you kiss DA☆ZE!"

"Don't. ”

"Shy fellow, I'll kiss you. ”

"Go, go, there's no seriousness. ”

I rolled my eyes and pushed Marisa away as Hippie Smile tried to get up.

"Hmph, big fool. ”

Alice watched from the side, and snorted coldly with a dark face.

Marisa, who was on the rise, didn't care, and happily hugged the cold watermelon and began to think about what to do with it.

"Master, let's go up and see that room!"

"Go see, go see. ”

Kirino and Otonashi Chiba held my hand vigorously, and they couldn't wait to visit the treehouse Marisa and the others had built.

"I know, I know, I really can't do anything about you. ”

"Lord Dongfang, I'll take you there. ”

"Ah, that's a real trouble for you. ”

"No, it's my pleasure. ”

Under the leadership of Kawashiro Hatori, a group of people ran to the trees.

"Hey, remember not to mess with our stuff!"

Marisa suddenly thought of something and yelled at the tree, but didn't hear a response.

But if you think there is Kawajo Nitori to follow, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Light, hurry up and get the knife. ”

Marisa flipped the watermelon over, figuring out where to go with the knife.

"There are no knives here!"

The maid, who was busy laying out the mat under another tree, did not reply.

"Why don't I ask the master!"

"Don't look for him, I've got it here. ”

Alice said suddenly, and at the same time, Shanghai took out a cold and shining machete.

A big cold sweat immediately broke out on Marisa's forehead......

To the disappointment of the Chiluno guys, the treehouse they were looking forward to had not yet been built, the roof was only half built, and the house was full of planks and shavings, a mess that disappointed a group of people who wanted to go in and see it.

"What, it hasn't been built yet, it's really too much drag. ”

In addition to being depressed, Qiluno couldn't help but complain.

"Ahem. ”

Kawashiro Hatori's face suddenly turned red when he heard her words, this treehouse was basically built by her, and of course she felt embarrassed to be said like this.

"Well, people have worked hard to get to this point. ”

I patted Kirino on the head and said.

"But ......"

"Ah, you can see the Xingli Hall from here!"

"What? I'll take a look too. ”

Hearing Lumia's shout, the little girl didn't bother to talk to me and ran away as fast as she could.

"Don't worry, children speak so directly. ”

Seeing that Kawashiro was still in a trance, I said to her.

"I understand. ”

Kawajo Natori was also a little helpless. Although she is an excellent carpenter, Marisa and Hikaru are out-and-out laymen when it comes to construction, and they need her guidance for everything, so of course they will be slow to do things.

If it was just her, it might have been a little faster.

"Master, let's go up there and take a look. ”

"Remember to be careful. ”

"Got it. ”

Waving at me, a few little ones giggled and flew up to the top of the tree.

Otomi Chiba, who was hugging my thighs tightly, pouted and looked at them, looking unhappy, but there was no way, who made her not fly!

After lingering in the tree for a few minutes, Marisa's shouts can be heard below.

"Why don't you come down yet? Otherwise, I'm going to eat all the watermelons, DA☆ZE. ”

"It's coming. ”

picked up the little girl and called the others back to the ground.

"What have you been doing on it for so long?"

Marisa asked inarticulate as she sat on the mat and munched on the ruddy flesh.

"Didn't you just go for a short while?"

I walked over and sat down against the roots.

"Really?"

Marisa tossed the melon skin in her hand and didn't pursue the matter further.

"Master, watermelon. ”

Hikari handed me a slice of sliced watermelon, and I took it, only to find that I was not thirsty.

"Who wants?"

"Give it to me. ”

"This is mine. ”

"People want it too. ”

In the end, the poor watermelon was divided between Chiba, Kiruno, and Lumia.

"Why do you suddenly want to build a treehouse?"

I asked Marisa, and I didn't have to guess that she must have encouraged the others to do it.

"Well, there's actually no special reason!"

Marisa paused, blinking.

"I haven't had any changes recently, and I haven't encountered anything interesting, and if I don't find something to do, I'm going to have a problem. ”

"Simply put, you're bored. ”

You can also DA☆ZE if you say that. ”

Talking and eating, a calm noon passed quickly. The watermelon was eaten clean, leaving only the watermelon rind all over the floor.

Hikari and Misty didn't need me to tell them, so they got up and picked them up and put them in bags.

"Satisfied, satisfied. ”

Marisa patted her slightly bulging belly, she was the one who had eaten the most just now.

"Watermelon is the best in the summer. ”

The mat was wide enough that she simply lay down on her back.

After you've eaten your fill, it's time to take a break.

"Hmm. ”

Kiruno and Otono Chiba held my hand and snuggled up to me left and right, making cute cries like kittens.

After resting for a while, Kawashiro Natori also felt that it was time to get to work.

"Marisa, hurry up, it's time for us to get to work. ”

"Hmm. ”

She gave Marisa a few hard pushes, and Marisa rolled over, and there was no reaction.

Alice leaned over and shook her head.

"Asleep. ”

"What? This guy ......."

Kashiro was about to shake Marisa awake, but Alice grabbed her.

"I'll take her place and let her continue to sleep!"

"Well, that's fine. ”

Kawashiro Natori thought about it for a moment and agreed.

"Lord Dongfang, we are going to continue what we did before, so we won't accompany you. ”

"Well, go ahead. ”

I smiled and nodded.

"Then Master, let's go up and play!"

"Got it, don't run around. Light, help me keep an eye on them. ”

“Yes，master。 ”

Everyone else walked away at once, and the only ones on the floor were me, the little girl, and Marisa, who was asleep.

"If you want to go up and play, I can take you with me. ”

I touched the brain of Otomu Chiba and said.

"Well, no. ”

The girl shook her head, jumped up and sat down in my arms.

"Then we'll stay here. ”

"Hmm. ”

Otonari Chiba hummed a ballad, feeling very happy in her heart, she hadn't been alone with her brother like this for a long time.

Although there is still an eye-catching guy lying next to her, for the sake of her already asleep, let's treat her as if she doesn't save zài!

"Brother, can you tell stories to others?"

"What do you want to hear?"

"Well, that's it, the story of the knight and the princess. ”

"Of course, no problem. ”

Although I think this kind of story is quite cliché, since she wants to hear it, then I can only say it.

The little girl lay in my arms, and listened quietly to me as I told the story of a knight who rescued the princess from the hands of the Demon King.

After listening to the story, Otonai Chiba was still silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother, can someone become your guardian knight in the future?"

The girl got up and knelt down in front of me, looking at me steadily.

"It's hard to be a knight, so let me do it. ”

"What can that person do?"

"What ...... you?"

I pinched her bulging cheeks and groaned.

"Of course I'm a princess. ”

"Princess ......"

Otonari Chiba remembered a certain princess who often came to Xingli Hall to play video games, and couldn't help but shudder violently.

At this time, Her Royal Highness the princess was lying weakly on the aisle outside the Eternal Pavilion.

"It's so hot......"

"So, will my brother be like that knight and always guard Chiba?"

The girl lowered her head, trying not to let the person opposite her see her flushed face.

"Of course. ”

Although I wondered why she suddenly asked this, I answered it seriously.

"Forever, my little princess. ”

"Brother......

The little girl burst into tears and hugged my neck hard.

"People are not small anymore. ”

Not long after nestling in my arms, Otono Chiba fell asleep sweetly.

I haven't paid attention to her seriously for a long time, and when I saw the little childishness left on her face, I suddenly realized that inadvertently, the former little girl had grown up and was transitioning from a little girl to a girl.

"Hmmm......"

Otonari Chiba's body moved slightly, and then shoved his thumb into his mouth.

"Qiao...... Chocolate bananas. ”

I smiled and shook my head, pulled out her fingers and hugged her tightly.

"Still a child!"

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

Marisa, who was asleep, was awakened by a strong urge to urinate.

"Damn, I ate too much just now. ”

Realizing this, she also remembered that she was now in a forest.

This place, there is no toilet.

The so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, which should refer to her current situation!

It's terrible.

"I had no choice but to do that. ”

As embarrassed as she was, she wasn't sure she'd been able to endure until she returned to the Star Palace.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked around, very well, most of the people were not there, only Dongfang Haruka and Yin no Chiba, and they all seemed to be asleep.

Marisa crawled up with the quietest movements, and then tiptoed past the two of them at the slowest speed.

After taking two steps, she turned her head sharply, only to find that the other party was still the same as before, and her eyes were not open.

"I'm not thinking too much. ”

She scratched the back of her head and despised her suspicions.

"Ouch, I really can't take it anymore. ”

Feeling a strong pain, Marisa ran into the depths of the jungle with her lower abdomen in her hands.

Glancing obliquely at Marisa's sneaky back, I shifted and closed my eyes again.
