Ikawa Sumime was unmoved by the bubbles that were floating around.

[Can you do it without washing]? Listen to what this says! After a lot of exercise all day, how can you not take a shower when you get home?

Where do you get the white and soft hair dumplings without bathing?

Besides, he hadn't forgotten that the rabbit had dragged the big bag of dust that he had picked up from the garbage mountain around in the morning! Can this still be clean?

Even if he stays at home all day, he will definitely take a shower at night.

Yi Chuan Cheng sighed, and moved the shower gel placed in front of the rabbit cub towards it again, the meaning was obvious.

If you don't take the initiative to wash it, I'll wash it for you.

“…………”

Ryunosuke Akutagawa's eyes were fixed on the bottle of shower gel, as if he was facing a great enemy, and his whole body tensed.

“… It's a waste of water. Forced by the situation, he even began to try to convince [the monster] that "the water in the bowl street is too precious to be wasted in bathing." ”

His face was tense, and his persuasive expression was extremely serious. Even the time when a robber tried to snatch the only biscuit from his hands after three days of starvation may not have been as vigilant as it is now.

[The monster] seemed to pause for a moment in the face of his words—before Akutagawa Ryunosuke could relax, a whole row of sealed bottles of mineral water appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa: ............

The dull black pupils, which usually looked lifeless, were really uncontrollable at this moment, and there was a slight tremor.

Can't you escape this, this bath......

It seemed to take his silence as a refusal, and the next moment, the familiar force that he had felt many times swept through his body, enveloping him in the direction of the bathroom.

！！

“… Wait、I'll wash it myself...! ”

Even though he knew that the struggle was futile, Ryunosuke Akutagawa still couldn't hold back.

The last time I was forced to bathe by [it] was bad enough...... Unlike the feeling of being manipulated like a marionette and not controlled by the will, his body still belonged to him, but he was directly touched by the strange and irresistible invisible existence, like a prey that was firmly pressed under the claws of a beast, and finally opened his soft and fragile belly.

“… Woooooooo Not ......"

"They all say... I'll ...... it myself."

The words and actions of the whole resistance were mercilessly ignored by the [monster], and even the entire face was vigorously rubbed by a towel, and the steaming rabbit dumplings were allowed to be released from the bathroom.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke buried himself in the soft quilt.

His strange ability [Rashomon] can only change the clothes he wears on his body at will; And as a person who is hungry most of the time and cannot provide the nutrients needed for physical development, this ability that relies on the spirit and abandons the physical performance can be said to be the only reliance on to survive.

Therefore, he can be called a lack of strength when he loses his clothes and body, and he is the most insecure moment.

[Monsters] don't care about that. Even if that guy wants to use the whole bowl street as a playground, as a back kitchen full of food, as a buffet dinner, he can do whatever he wants.

Ensuring his safety while taking a shower was just a matter of ease.

But, but...... Ryunosuke Akutagawa's fingers clutched at the corners of the quilt tightened, and his body curled up a little, curled up under the futon.

Even if he is willing to take the initiative to take a bath in the future, will [it] still keep an eye on the supervision the whole time......

- In the middle of the night, Ikawa Sumi, who had put down the game console, sighed lightly with satisfaction.

Even if he bought ten portions of water, he still has a huge amount of 423 rabbit coins, and he has also discovered a source where he can obtain a large number of rabbit coins, and he can earn blood!

You can raise his rabbit cubs to be white and fat, and the feel must be first-class!

In order to cooperate with the growth trajectory of the mustard rabbit, Ikawa Cheng, who had adjusted his work and rest from the good Ruliu, stretched his waist, and went to the bathroom to wash up in a happy mood, intending to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, he surprised his housekeeper again.

"You really managed to hold out for two days," said Richard, "and it was a great celebration for the nine generations." ”

"Good morning, Richard." Yi Chuan Cheng held the milk bowl soaked in normal cereal, raised his eyes to greet him, "There is no need to let my father know about this kind of thing, I don't plan to add extra work at the moment." ”

"So, today's original booking of the ten generations of the expedition." Richard opened his mouth with a glance.

Mamito Ikawa: "......"

Mamito Ikawa, who had been threatened successfully, sighed and put down the bowl.

This kind of hot day, really... Don't want to go out.

Today is the weekend, and Sawada Tsunayoshi doesn't need to go to class, so Richard first visits Ribaun by phone to confirm the time, and Ikawa Sumito comes to visit with gifts.

"Hello, Mrs. Sawada." Yi Chuancheng bowed slightly, "Take the liberty of bothering, this is a little heart." I'm Sumito Ikawa, and I'm here to meet Tsunayoshi Sawada and Mr. Ribain. ”

"Yike...... Hello, Ah Gang is upstairs! Nana Sawada exclaimed, happily inviting this handsome young man dressed formally to come in, "I'll make some tea, you can go up first." ”

There was no vigilance in the face of strangers, and he didn't even say a word of interrogation, so he was let in so easily. Ikawa looked at her back, then sideways at Richard.

Richard, who had investigated the information in advance, shrugged his shoulders at Yi Chuan Cheng undetectably, meaning that her character is like this, don't hesitate, just go in.

"......," Ikawa Cheng exclaimed with an inexplicable voice.

Tsunayoshi Sawada and Ribaun were indeed on the second floor, and as soon as Ikawa Sumito reached the only open door, he heard a cry of grief and indignation, "I can't do it!" ”

"You can do it if you fight to the death, right? How about a dead air bomb now? Don't worry, the worst outcome is just euthanasia. ”

"Unreasonable!"

It's so hilarious, I feel like I can't help but laugh. Yi Chuancheng, who had a stiff expression, raised his hand and greeted the two people in the room, "Mr. Ribaun, according to the scheduled time, I came over." ”

"It's Cheng." Pushing away Tsunayoshi Sawada, who was dripping with lasagna tears with one hand, Ribain turned his gaze, "It's really in the morning, or I still come to investigate in person, it makes me feel incredible than the discovery of wild mermaids in the Caribbean Sea." ”

"......" faced with Ribaun's continuous and repeated emphasis, which made Ikawa Cheng's expression hard, "If you can, I also hope that it can be over as soon as possible." ”

Tsunyoshi Sawada, who was listening, blinked his eyes, "Huh, investigation?" ”

"That's right." Ikawa Cheng was still standing at the door of the bedroom and didn't go in, "I'm Ikawa Chun, the adopted son of Penglie's ninth generation, and I have been tasked with checking whether you can become the leader of the qualified tenth generation, and I came to Japan from Italy on purpose. ”

"Huh...... Then I can't make it, right!? "Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't expect that he not only had a 24-hour uninterrupted tutor, but also an accompanying examiner!

His gaze wandered, and he stole a glance at the young examiner who claimed to be Mamito Ikawa. Although he looked handsome, he didn't have any expression on his face, and he inexplicably remembered the stern appearance of Senior Skylark...... I was a little scared, and my stomach started to hurt.

"Now that I'm here, I'll ask you a question." Ikawa Cheng looked at the future Toyome, and his gaze paused for a moment.

Soft and fluffy light brown hair, plus large, watery eyes when staring at him...... Inexplicably reminds me of the lop-eared rabbit development game I have been playing these days.

"What's your name?"

"Huh... Yes...... Tsunakichi Sawada......? ”

"Okay, qualified." Ikawa Chun's pursed lips relaxed, and a gentle smile was curled, "I wholeheartedly support you to become the tenth generation, come on." ”

Tsunayoshi Sawada, who thought he had heard it wrong: "............ Hello? ”

Ribaun lifted the brim of his hat, not surprised by this, "That's what that guy is. At the age of ten, Kuyome asked him about his birthday wishes. ”

"Huh...... What is it? ”

"I'll retire starting tomorrow."

"............" Tsunakichi Sawada twitched the corners of his mouth, "You don't need to start working at the age of ten......"

"So, whatever work is assigned to him," says Ribaun, "he will do it with minimal effort." It's a guy who has a god-given talent but wastes it in vain, and has no ambition. ”

Ikawa Chun smiled silently, pretending not to hear.

"But... If it's the son of the ninth generation, why don't you inherit Penglie? Sawada Tsunayoshi asked in confusion, "No matter how you look at it, you are more powerful than me......?" ”

"Because I'm not as suitable as you, Tsunyoshi." Ikawa Sumime raised his index finger and smiled, "Don't underestimate yourself with infinite possibilities. I can feel that you will be the best heir, one of a kind. ”

"I work hard to move forward and am recognized by me for the ten generations. As I said earlier, I will support you wholeheartedly. ”

Looking back at Ikawa Sumi, who showed a gentle smile to him, Tsunayoshi Sawada's eyes widened slightly, "......"

The pleasant expedition was soon over, and Ikawa and Richard said goodbye to Ribauen and sat in the car on the way back.

"—with all due respect, Ikawa-sama," said Richard after a brief silence, "did you deliberately say that in order to coax Tsunayoshi Sawada to succeed Penglie?" ”

"Richard, do you think I'm lying to the kids?" Ikawa Cheng frowned slightly, propping his head to look at the scenery flying by outside the window, "With just one glance, I can see that Tsunayoshi has never been recognized." ”

Recognition, respect, praise, any words that contain a positive meaning, Sawada Tsunayoshi has never received. That's why they behave timidly and cower when they see him.

Just like a rabbit.

"But his eyes," Ikawa thought for a moment, "were like an unpolished piece of jade." So I couldn't help but praise him. ”

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and Richard asked him again, "What if Sawada Tsunayoshi doesn't want to inherit Penglie?" Mr. Ribauen has mentioned this to me before. ”

"Then I'll support non-inheritance." Yi Chuancheng smiled, "Where in this world is there only one way to go?" ”

In the gap between Richard's answers, he yawned, grunted and urged.

"Hurry up, Richard - I want to play a game."

As soon as he finished buying the food in the mall, he was dragged out, and he couldn't wait to go back to supervise whether the mustard rabbit had breakfast obediently.
