Chapter Ninety-Seven: Relief and Mindfulness

"He's still clingy, isn't he?"

I don't know when, Winter Horse appeared next to Long Gui and suddenly said this.

What he said was naturally Ichigo who threw himself into Masaki's arms.

"Curator."

Ryugui was still staring at Ichigo's side, and the sudden voice next to her startled her, but she still greeted Fuyuma politely.

"I haven't seen a boy like him. If you lose, you lose, why are you crying and laughing. ”

Ryugui wiped the sweat from his face with a towel and looked away from Ichigo's body.

"Boys are like that."

Fuyuma sighed.

"Not surprisingly, that kid seems to be willing to approach you too."

Long Gui showed a blank expression, she didn't know why Dongma said that.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him, and Ryugui looked back, only to find that Ichigo had run back again, and he was still running for himself.

"What, what?"

Long Gui was a little panicked.

"Hehe, see you tomorrow, Arisawa-san!"

"Uncle Dongma, goodbye!"

Ichigo, who had dropped these two sentences, immediately turned around and ran towards the door.

"Goodbye."

It seems that he adapted to the new environment quite quickly, but in one day, he completely lost his timidity in facing others.

"What......"

Long Gui muttered puzzled.

On the other side, Misaki also waved at Fuyuma, and then left with Ichigo.

Looking at Masaki's movements, Fuyuma's spirit suddenly became a little trance-like, and his consciousness seemed to return to the way he and Misaki first met, and after he gave her a pudding, she also waved hello to him from a distance.

The same smile, the same movements, the same energy.

The two images gradually overlapped, and Fuyuma realized that Misaki was still the simple and kind girl she used to be, or the girl who would sincerely thank strangers for a pudding.

Remembering these ...... A small smile of relief appeared on Fuyuma's face.

yes, what's there to worry about......

Fuyuma has always been a very emotional person, and even when he is immature, he will be emotional, which is the inherent deficiency of his personality, after all, no one is perfect. That's why he is bent on changing the ending of Kenpachi who saved him from his fall, it is a regret for him, a reality he wants to avoid, and he will also be soft-hearted when facing the simple Kuchiki Cangjun.

After hundreds of years, he seems to be deliberately hiding his character, and for the sake of that original goal, he does not want to make more changes, but tries to keep himself out of the situation, and treat himself as a spectator.

However, as he came into contact with more and more characters, he didn't understand until this moment that after meeting many people for the first time, his bond with them was already inseparable.

He does belong to this world, he does live in this group of people, and he is beautiful, not just to others.

"Come on! Be brave enough to make more friends. ”

Dongma said with a smile, and after that, he also rubbed Long Gui's hair on the side.

It looked like he was saying something to her.

At this moment, the winter horse seems to have let go of all his worries.

It's not that I don't have any hole cards, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

……

As night fell, at this time in Kurosaki's house, Ichigo was still telling Misaki about today's events in the dojo with great interest, and seeing him so happy, Misaki was also a lot more relieved. However, the sudden sound of a baby's cry interrupted the conversation between the mother and son.

Misaki hurriedly got up to comfort the wanderer and Natsuri who had woken up, the twins had just been born not long ago, and it was the time when they needed to worry the most. Ichigo also leaned over with a curious expression, laughing at his sisters from time to time.

After another tossing and turning, they finally fell asleep again.

Issein is receiving patients at the clinic in the front hall, and Misaki is about to start preparing dinner.

Ichigo was watching a children's show on TV intently, but the sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted his thoughts.

"Ichigo, can you open the door for your mother?"

Misaki said in the kitchen, she was in a state where she couldn't spare her hands.

Ichigo ran to the doorway, then grabbed the handle and opened the door through a small gap.

But there was no one outside the door.

When he opened all the doors, he found a snack box in the doorway. Ichigo, who was dazed, picked up the box, and looked around, but there was still no one.

He had no choice but to pull the door open, turn and walk inside.

"What's wrong?"

Misaki walked over and asked Ichigo.

"There's no one out there, just this box."

Ichigo said as he held the box up.

Misaki reached out and took it, she was also puzzled, wondering if it was some kind of prank played by the naughty children in the neighborhood, in short, it was too suspicious.

She placed the box on the table, and after thinking about it for a while, she decided to open it and take a look at it first.

As the carton was unwrapped layer by layer, the expression on Masaki's face changed from wariness at the beginning to surprise, and finally even laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, that gentleman is really."

"Huh? What is that? ”

Kurosaki Isshin, who had finished his work, also returned home, looked at Masaki and the things on the table, and asked suspiciously.

"It's a pudding, coffee pudding."

Misaki replied with a smile.

"Oh? Was it a gift from someone else? ”

"Hmm...... It's the heart of a friend. ”

This is a very special gift for Misaki, and she doesn't even have to think much about it to know whose "prank" it is.

Fuyuma walked slowly through the alleys full of houses, turning corner after corner. The chatter and laughter of the families on both sides also came to his ears from time to time, and when he stopped, he didn't feel a trace of noise. Being in this environment, he experienced unprecedented ease.

When passing another corner, a black shadow suddenly came out from the side, thinking that it was a passerby passing by, but after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, one person and one cat were a little surprised.

"Ahh ×2

"Hey, hey, is it really that coincidental? Miss Night. ”

The black cat in front of him is undoubtedly the night of Sifengyuan, and it is impossible for Dongma to recognize her appearance, not to mention, besides, besides her, which cat can open his mouth to speak human words.

(Except for a certain blue fat man)

"What, I'm taking a walk, and I can even bump into you guy."

Night Cat said disdainfully.

Winter Horse suddenly squatted in front of Yeyi, then fumbled in his pocket for a long time, and then took out a small portion of cat food? Handed it to the night one.

"Good boy, kitten, there's something delicious here."

"Bastard! Keep the cat food for yourself! ”

Winter Horse is looking for a chance to tease Yeichi, but he has been carrying cat food with him for a long time, and this time, he finally found a chance.
