As if sensing everyone's gaze, Serizawa Reina, who was originally elated because she had obtained new clothes, instantly pursed her small mouth, crossed her waist with a face full of anger, and said dissatisfied:

"What kind of eyes do you have, will I still grow up!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

An He chuckled perfunctorily: "Reina-chan will definitely grow up." ”

Although he said so, he knew in his heart that Rena Serizawa was the end of the day, after all, she was already eighteen, but she still looked like a ten-year-old child.

Shaking his head, An He didn't tease Serizawa Reina anymore, seeing that everyone had already arrived, he immediately began to assign the next work.

Serizawa Yui and Kurori Nadeshiko took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help Amamiya Saki cook dinner, while Serizawa Rena and Amamiya Saori kept the living room to clean up with Kurori Saki.

It was said to be cleaning, but there wasn't much to clean, so the three of them didn't do it for a while before they started playing.

Watching movies, playing game consoles, playing flying chess, and frolicking and slapping constantly echoed in the living room, diluting the originally deserted winter atmosphere a little.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was another knock on the door.

Because Yasuwa was helping in the kitchen, the matter of opening the door was handed over to Saori Amamiya.

The latter was playing flying chess with Serizawa Reina, and was suddenly named by An He, although he was very reluctant, he still stepped on his slippers and swayed to the entrance.

didn't check the cat's eye, Saori Amamiya opened the door directly, but when she saw the person outside the door, she was stunned and subconsciously blurted out:

"Sister Miko?"

Nobue Ito, who was suddenly called like this, was also a little stunned, and after reacting, a slight crimson flashed on his face, so he had to smile awkwardly, and then said:

"It's me, is An Hejun at home?"

Although I don't know why the other party is here, Saori Amamiya still nodded, stood aside, and closed the door after Ito Nobue walked into the room, and then shouted in the direction of the kitchen:

"Anhe, that shrine maiden sister from Fukuen Shrine is looking for you!"

When the words fell, almost at the same time, except for Kuro Lai Saki who was stealing food in the kitchen, everyone else stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears.

An He naturally noticed the strangeness of everyone, although he was a little embarrassed, he could only poke his head out of the kitchen and greet Nobue Ito, who had just finished changing his shoes at the entrance:

"Good afternoon, Sister Shinhui, let's sit in the living room first, I'll be busy soon."

"Hmm."

Nobue Ito answered softly, slowly walked to the sofa in the living room, and sat upright like an elementary school student, motionless.

Also in the same situation as her is Rena Serizawa.

This girl immediately buried her head at the first sight of Nobue Ito, for fear of being recognized by the other party.

After all, students are like mice and cats to the class teacher, and the fear of the former for the latter is engraved in the DNA.

It's just that the more people are afraid of something, the more they come, and Rena Serizawa just had a fluke mentality here, and Nobue Ito over there took the lead and said hello.

"It's been a long time, Reina-san."

Hearing this voice, Serizawa Reina's face was bitter, and she also knew that the other party recognized herself, let go of her hand, slowly raised her head, and tried to find a paintbrush with a stiff smile, but then reacted that she could already speak, so she had to scratch her head in embarrassment and sneer:

"Good afternoon, Ito-sensei."

Hearing this, Nobue Ito chuckled and nodded, but quickly reacted again, looked at Reina Serizawa with a stunned face, and said with some uncertainty:

"Did Reina just speak?"

"Huh? I'm talking. ”

Serizawa Rena nodded as a matter of course, and when the words fell, she remembered that she hadn't told Nobue Ito about her ability to speak, so she had to explain what happened a few days ago again.

After listening to Reina Serizawa's explanation, Nobue Ito couldn't help but have some doubts while feeling happy for the other party in her heart.

She'd been in Yamanashi Prefecture for longer than Anwa, but she'd never heard of any particularly powerful doctors nearby.

"Maybe Ann and that guy were lucky."

Shaking her head, Nobue Ito decided not to think about it anymore.

Because of the generation gap in identity, she could clearly notice that Serizawa Reina had been a little restrained since she came in, and she was not very familiar with Saori Amamiya on the side, so she sat like this for a while, seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more embarrassing, Nobue Ito simply proposed:

"I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can help."

After the words fell, she didn't wait for the two of them to respond, and got up and walked towards the kitchen.

When she came to the kitchen door, Nobue Ito first saw the figure of Sidao busy in front of the stove, followed by Kuro Rashaki, who kept stuffing food into her mouth on the side.

The latter also saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up, and regardless of what was stuffed in his mouth, he threw himself into Ito Nobue's arms, held his head high, and shouted indistinctly:

"Mother Ito, why are you here?"

"Mom came to see Sakiri-chan."

With a gentle smile on her face, Nobue Ito put her hand on the little girl's head and rubbed it, and the latter immediately narrowed her eyes in comfort.

On the other side, the four people who heard the movement also turned around, and saw that Nobue Ito had come to the door, Anwa couldn't help but put down the things in his hand and greeted with a smile on his face:

"Good afternoon, Miss Nobue, why don't you sit in the living room for a while."

Hearing this, Nobue Ito raised her hand to pull the hair around her ears, then looked up at Anwa, and explained:

"It's okay to sit, so I thought I'd come to the kitchen and see if I could help."

"You're going to be disappointed."

An He said, pointing to the plates of delicacies with rich aromas on the stove beside him, and explained:

"We're done, now we just need to clean up."

"That's right."

Nobue Ito nodded a little disappointed.

When people come to an unfamiliar environment, they always want to find someone familiar to rely on, or do what they can so as not to be too lonely, and Nobue Ito has this idea at this time.

An He also noticed her abnormality, thought about it, and then looked at a few people beside him and asked:

"Can I leave the rest to you, I'll take Miss Shinhui to the living room to sit for a while."

"Go, go, go."

Amamiya Saki waved her hand, and Kurolai Nadeshiko and Serizawa Yui on the side didn't care.

Seeing this, Yasuwa nodded, washed his hands in the sink, and then returned to the living room with Nobue Ito.

came out at the same time, and there was also Kuro Lai Saki who was carried by Ann and the back collar.

A plate full of shrimp balls was eaten by this girl, and An He was worried that if she didn't take her out again, everyone might not have to eat it at night.

casually threw the little girl aside and let Saori Amamiya accompany her to play the game, Anwa took a cup of hot water and handed it to Nobue Ito's table, and said curiously:

"Is the part-time job at the shrine over?"

"And it didn't ......"

Nobue Ito sighed and explained:

"I'm actually going to resign from the school when I come back this time, and from now on, I'll probably be a shrine maiden at Fukuen Shrine."

"Why is that?"

Anwa was very surprised, and even Serizawa Reina, who was a little restrained because of Nobue Ito's arrival, raised her head sharply, her face full of astonishment.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Nobue Ito smiled bitterly, and then slowly explained.

It turned out that Shunichi Fuji, the palace secretary of Fukuen Shrine, was angry because his wife came out, and killed her along with her lover.

Although he eventually surrendered, he was also sentenced to death.

"Death penalty?"

Hearing this, An He was a little surprised, and the honest and honest face of Kudo Shunichi subconsciously appeared in his mind, and he wondered:

"Mr. Kudo isn't that vicious?"

"That's what I thought too."

Nobue Ito shook her head, as if she had thought of something, her face was a little pale, but she still explained:

"Until the day of the tragedy, Mr. Kudo behaved very normally, and even talked to me for a while, but no one expected that on the same night, he hung his wife's and her mistress's heads on the torii gate in front of the shrine."

"Hiss~"

Yasuwa gasped at the same time as the two girls who were eavesdropping on the side, and Saori Amamiya hurriedly raised her hand to cover Kuro Raisaki's ears, but her face was a little unsightly.

After all, she had only chatted with Shunichi Kudo a few days ago, and even bought two shrine maiden costumes from the other party.

No one thought that such an honest-looking man would make such a crazy scene.

In Japan, it is very unlikely that a suspect will be sentenced to death if the murder results in the death of only one person, but if the murder takes place in public and has serious adverse effects, the prisoner is likely to be sentenced to death.

Shunichi Kudo must have known this, but he did it anyway, knowing that he would be sentenced to death.

Maybe that's the anger of an honest man.

Shaking his head, Yasuwa decided to put an end to this horrible topic, and instead looked at Nobue Ito and asked:

"Then why did Ito-sensei say that he might have to be a shrine maiden at the shrine in the future?"

"This ......"

Nobue Ito smiled helplessly, picked up the hot water on the table and blew it on his mouth, took a sip lightly, and explained:

"For some reason, Mr. Kudo finally decided to pass on the shrine to my family, and I became the acting palace secretary assigned by the family at Fukuen Shrine."

"Why is this?"

Ahn and almost blurted out.

Seeing his reaction, Nobue Ito's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't explain too much.

At first, when she first heard the news, she herself was very puzzled and even resisted, but when her father put a series of Anwa information on the surface with evidence that she was not pregnant, Nobue Ito finally chose to compromise.

In fact, her father was not so stupid, maybe a few days ago, or maybe a few months ago, he wondered if Nobue Ito was pregnant, and finally even deliberately let her go to a friend's shrine part-time in order to check if she was pregnant.

Nobue Ito didn't think of this at the time.

Now it seems that Shunichi Kudo can kill his wife and lover so simply, and it is very likely that it is also related to her father.

It's not all bad news.

At the very least, she doesn't have to avoid suspicion with An He in the future, and she doesn't have to worry about how to pretend to be pregnant.

The only drawback may be that there will be less and less contact time with Anhe in the future.

Exhaling a breath, Nobue Ito decided not to think about this, put down the water glass, and then looked at the clothes on Saori Amamiya and Reina Serizawa, thinking of the clothes of the three people he saw in the kitchen before, and couldn't help but joke to Anwa:

"Unexpectedly, Ann and classmate originally liked this tune."

Although he said it with a smile, the sour taste in his tone could be heard by anyone.

An He naturally understood, scratched his head in embarrassment, and then laughed:

"If Miss Nobue likes it, I'll buy you a set too?"

"Really?"

Nobue Ito blinked, then smiled and waved her hand.

"No, I don't like this style."

As she spoke, she put down her crossed legs and patted Kurori Saki on the side, who saw this, and quickly broke free from Saori Amamiya's arms and sat on Nobue Ito's lap.

The two of them played like a real mother and daughter.

Although Nobue Ito didn't show it, Anwa could see that the other party must have other things in mind at this time.

"It seems that I'll have to find a chance to get to know it later."

Just as he was thinking, there was another knock on the door.

"Do you have any invites?"

Yasuwa looked at Reina Serizawa and Saori Amamiya, both of whom shook their heads.

Seeing this, An He stood up and walked towards the entrance.

He had only invited Nobue Ito today, and no one of his other friends knew the address of his house, so he really couldn't imagine who would come.

The knocking continued.

Yasuwa said "Please wait a minute" as he opened the door.

It's just that when he saw the figure standing outside the door, he was suddenly stunned.

Under the setting sun, two figures, one large and one small, stood quietly in front of the door.

The big one was wearing a red evening dress, with a big brown wavy, which was the true meaning of the orange.

At her feet was a little girl of seven or eight years old.

The girl seemed to be a little scared, and always hid behind Tachibana Zhenyi, and when she saw An He open the door, she simply retracted her head, revealing only two big black eyes, looking curiously at the strange man in front of her.

"Good afternoon, An Hejun."

Tachibana was the first to speak.

She still had that fox-like smile, as if she saw the doubts in An He's eyes, and then pulled the girl next to her and introduced:

"This is my daughter, Eri Tachibana."

"Your daughter?"

An He was shocked by this news, and he didn't forget that the narrator had mentioned before that Tachibana Zhenyi had no relationship with her deceased husband.

Hearing An He say this, without waiting for Tachibana to explain, the girl at her feet took the first step to retort:

"She's not my mom."

Although she said it very simply, the little girl still clung to the corner of Tangerine Zhenyi's skirt and was unwilling to let go.

Seeing this, An He raised his eyebrows, then squatted down to look at the little girl, and asked softly with a gentle smile on his face, "Is she really not your mother?" ”

"Uh-huh!"

The little girl nodded affirmatively.

"I see."

An He said, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and then muttered to himself while dialing the police number under the puzzled eyes of the two.

"If you abduct and sell children, you should be sentenced to many years......"
