A plate of raw meat as bright red as cherry blossoms was beautifully placed on the plate, and the chef also specially made it into the shape of blooming flowers, which looked very attractive.But Shibukawa Yo held up his chopsticks and couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

"This food is very delicious, boss, you still don't want to move your chopsticks?"

The figurine sitting beside him was holding a rice bowl as high as his own waist, and asked her eagerly.

"I'm still a bit psychologically unacceptable..."

"The Primrose part." Seimei said solemnly, "The alias is so elegant and beautiful, don't think of it as horse sashimi."

"You already said that name!" The girl couldn't help complaining. Fortunately, they were in a private room at this time, and no third party would be surprised that a figurine spoke out.

Therefore, the handsome figure just smiled slightly, and continued to stuff white rice into his mouth as if nothing had happened.

Yoshi Shibukawa also tried to ask the question about whether the figurine can eat, and the answer he got was—you can eat it or not, you don’t need to go to the toilet, and you don’t have to worry about starving to death.

As for where all the food went, Seimei couldn't tell herself, Shibukawa Yoshi just thought there was a black hole and took all those things away... Anyway, there are a lot of weird things and wonderful things around her, The small problem that the figure can eat is nothing to worry about.

However, Shibukawa Yao finally overcame his own fear, and bravely handed over a piece of bright red raw meat dipped in sauce and shredded ginger, closed his eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth as if death was at home.

Qingming stopped what she was doing and looked at the little girl with a funny face.

Shibukawa Yao chewed the food with a distorted expression, suddenly opened his eyes in surprise, and chewed a few more times.

"How does it taste?" Qingming asked confidently as if he had expected this scene a long time ago.

The girl swallowed the food in her mouth, and then she replied cautiously: "Yes, yes, it tastes a bit like raw pork liver but not so fishy, ​​and the taste is also very soft. But... I still choose pork liver."

Qingming was speechless for a moment, the boss was really confused and needed guidance.

After eating Kumamoto's characteristic horse meat sashimi and fulfilling a wish, the two guys are about to embark on a journey to Yayuan.

Although the Yahara area is under the jurisdiction of Kumamoto Prefecture in terms of administrative division, it is located in the outer suburbs, and the navigation shows that it takes nearly an hour to drive.Last night, Shibukawa Yao called in advance to explain that he happened to be on a business trip nearby, and he wanted to visit them in a few days of free time to see if it was convenient for the couple.

"Why is it inconvenient? You can come back anytime, this is also your home." Aunt Tazi who answered the phone said enthusiastically, "Yes, Xiao Yao, remember that you don't need to book a room at the hotel in the town. Keep it for you all the time!"

"...Ah, thank you, auntie."

Shibukawa Yoshihara, who hung up the phone, sat in a daze for a while, and kept feeling in his heart why that little idiot of the former master left such a kind and gentle relative to run away... Seimei tactfully did not interrupt her until the girl came back to her senses and began to worry that she came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any particularly expensive gifts to the door.

The onmyoji in silver-blue hunting clothes couldn't help laughing: "No need."

"why?"

"Living in this world, it is the best gift for each other that relatives can reunite safely and without incident."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Shibukawa Yao always felt that when Seimei said these words, the vicissitudes and tenderness unconsciously revealed in the long and narrow ice blue eyes always made people very moved.

Qingming's father must have been one of the most romantic beauties in Heian capital back then...

Holding such gossip and conjectures, Shibukawa Yao drove to Yahara, and before leaving, he did not forget to send gifts as rewards to Tokyo and Yokohama, hoping that friends would give her a five-star praise.

…………

It was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon when Shibukawa Yo arrived at his destination.

She hid Qingming in the pocket of her coat as usual, parked the car on the roadside open space at the entrance of the mansion, and was about to go to ring the doorbell when the door opened automatically, and the person who came had a kind face and a gentle temperament aunt.

Aunt Tazi seemed to have been waiting for her in the living room for a long time, this time when she saw her, she looked her up and down, and immediately said, "You lost weight, Xiao Yao, haven't you eaten properly these days?"

"It's been a long time, auntie. Maybe it's because I've been on a business trip these days..." Shibukawa Yao wryly smiled and handed over the Japanese sweets and specialty souvenirs in his hand, along with Hakata's mentaiko. "These are special local products that I bought along the way during my business trip. Please take the liberty of coming here this time."

"Oh, you're so polite, kid, you're just like a guest... Come in, come in." Tazi told her while beckoning people to enter the house, "Zi is still at work, and that kid Guizhi is here too." At school. But you'll see them tonight."

"Oh, yes."

It's just that when Shibukawa Yao changed into his slippers and walked into the living room, he happened to see a fat three-colored cat squatting on the coffee table, secretly eating matcha dumplings.

"Ah! Xiao Mi, you can't eat that! This is a special refreshment for Xiao Yao..." Tazi was very helpless but also very fond of talking to dissuade his cat from doing bad things.

What made Yao Shibukawa very interested was that the Sanhuamao seemed to be very spiritual. He glanced at himself and others calmly, and then he jumped off with the half-bitten matcha dumpling in his mouth. The desktop ran away.

"It seems to be very smart." Yao Shikawa praised casually, "I didn't expect you, aunt, to keep cats."

"It's indeed a clever kitten, but it's Guizhi's pet. That child always calls it 'Mr. Kitty'." Aunt Tazi replied with a smile, "Isn't the name cute?"

"Yeah, very cute."

The girl didn't expect that her cousin, whom she had never met, would accept a fat cat as a teacher. It felt more hard-core than she accepted a scrawny man as a fitness trainer.

It's just that she didn't notice that Seimei, who was staying in her pocket obediently, fell into inexplicable thinking.

... Is this evil spirit an illusion?

After that, she stayed at Fujiwara's house drinking tea and chatting with her aunt, and waiting for others to go home by the way.I have to say that Seimei's advice is still very reliable. Ever since Shibukawa Yoshi came to this beautiful rural area of ​​Yahara and met his relatives, it seems that the nerve that has always been tense in his mind has begun to slowly recover. relax.

It seems that she doesn't need ten handsome cowherds to open twenty champagne towers to relax.

On the eve of dinner, Shibukawa Yao was in the kitchen helping his aunt choose vegetables, when he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps approaching.

A middle-aged man poked his head in from the kitchen door and saw that she was helping his wife cook in the kitchen, and immediately showed a relaxed and reassuring expression on his face.

"Ah, Xiaoyao is here. Just when I saw an unfamiliar car at the door, I guessed that you were here... How are you doing along the way?"

"Hello, uncle, you've worked hard at work." Shibukawa Yao also responded with a smile, "It's not a weekend today, so there was no traffic jam, and I arrived on time smoothly."

Tazi, who was staring at the heat of the dishes in the pot, also turned his head and explained a few words: "I was afraid that I would be taking a nap when the child arrived, and I wouldn't be able to open the door for her in time, so I waited for her all afternoon."

"Eh?" The girl looked at the loving elder in surprise, she didn't know about this before, "There's no need for this, you can go to rest..."

"It's okay Xiaoyao, because you haven't come back for a long time, I want to open the door for you as soon as possible to welcome you."

Shibukawa Yao was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that she should say something, she could say whatever she wanted instead of being in a daze—so she tried to hide her inner emotion with a smile, "Auntie, I always feel uneasy when you say that... "

Tazi and Zi also saw that she was somewhat uncomfortable, but they just smiled at each other and talked about other work topics naturally.

The girl who finished picking the stalks was kicked out of the kitchen on the grounds that there was too much oily smoke in the kitchen, so a weak girl like her could just wait outside obediently for the meal to be served.

The oily fumes are too heavy... But people who live alone cook at home every day, so how can they be afraid of oily fumes?The only explanation is that the elders love her and don't want her to touch these oily things.

This is like a successful person who works hard outside, and when he returns home, he is still the immature child who doesn’t forget to wash his hands before eating in front of his relatives.

Shibukawa Yao sat in front of the TV and seemed to be casually chatting with his uncle, but in fact, he was thinking about the warm and inadvertent details of the past half day.

What Qingming said really makes sense... I like them more and more. If this continues, maybe one day I will really regard them as my relatives.

Soon, on the eve of dinner, Natsume Takashi, the only child in the family, came back from school on time.Since he had been told by Aunt Tazi before going out this morning, he was not surprised to see a stranger sitting in the living room watching TV.

"Excuse me, is this Cousin A Yao?" Natsume Takashi, who was wearing a high school uniform, looked very gentle and innocent, making people want to pat his head just by looking at him.

"I'm Natsume Takashi, this is the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

Shibukawa Yao hurriedly replied: "I am Shibukawa Yao, and I would like to ask for your advice, Kishi. When I was in Tokyo, I always heard your uncle and aunt praise you, but now I see the real person and I know what I said is true."

Originally, this was just a polite remark, but unexpectedly the young man took it seriously, his originally fair face suddenly flushed slightly because of embarrassment.

"Really, really... Uncle Zi and the others have won the prize..."

The girl was taken aback when she saw that he believed it to be true, and then smiled, this time her smile was a little more sincere: "Don't be modest, go and pack your schoolbag and fix it before eating."

"Yes!"

During dinner, Natsume also took down his very spiritual cat. To Shibukawa Yao's surprise, the family seemed to regard the Sanhua cat as another family member rather than a simple pet.

This cat even eats the sea prawn feast specially prepared by Tazi.

Shibukawa Yao secretly observed and compared the cat's recipe with the dishes on the dining table... Finally, he decided to go back and suggest to his aunt not to feed the cat so much oily and salty food, which is not good for the cat's health.Cats should eat raw and fishy special cat food.

Sensing an inexplicable crisis, Mr. Cat suddenly frowned, raised his tail, and stared at his surroundings vigilantly.

But no one noticed this problem. Everyone still ate happily. The girl even drank two glasses of plum wine brewed by the neighbor with her uncle.

"This wine is delicious!" She looked at the empty cup with sparkling eyes, and Sanhua who was beside her tried to jump on her lap to rub a little, but Natsume held her tightly in her arms.

Shigeru Fujiwara was very generous: "Do you like it? Take two cans with you when you return to Tokyo."

"Ah? No need, I just think it tastes good."

"Don't be polite to us, Xiao Yao," Zi pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking at her gently but helplessly, "because these should be our daily routine."

"..."

Shibukawa Yao didn't speak at this moment, because she couldn't recall any memories.It was the rebellious hard-core girl of the former owner who established a bond with this couple, and she actually had nothing to do with her.

But when she heard a middle-aged man say this with nostalgia and sentimentality, she still felt a little at a loss.

Don't look at Shibukawa Yao's bloody battles outside every day, there are a lot of defeated people, but she still can't resist the feeling of crying involuntarily when facing some gentle people.

As an underage boy who has lived in different families for many years, Natsume keenly noticed that the atmosphere at the dinner table had changed, and quickly hugged the eager cat in his arms even tighter.And Tazi also realized that the stupid husband had said something wrong when he saw the girl's eyes that became slightly dim for a moment, so he hurriedly helped smooth things over: "Zi, don't say that, Xiaoyao is already a working person now. Tokyo has her own business - we should be happy for her too."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." As a middle-aged straight man with thicker nerves, Shigeru Fujiwara quickly apologized belatedly, "I don't mean to accuse you, Xiao Yao, it's just...you are still the same in our eyes. That child back then, I miss the years you lived with us very much."

"I understand, I understand everything." Shibukawa Yao smiled again, "Can you show me my room."

Aunt Tako took her upstairs, but Natsume Takashi let go of the cat teacher in his arms and let it kick him angrily, and asked Shigeru Fujiwara with some doubts: "Uncle Zi, does your cousin live here?" After a few years, why..."

"She suffered a head injury some time ago, so she lost her memory." Zi explained rather sighingly, "I can't remember anything. When I saw us in Tokyo, I thought we were strangers... To be honest, Tazi and I were very sad. Yes, after all, I didn’t take good care of her—fortunately nothing major happened, otherwise I wouldn’t have the face to face Xiangshu and Guangjia in the future.”

The young man listened thoughtfully.

"Kiki, I have a mission for you."

"Yes, please tell me."

"If you are free these days, take your cousin around here. You are not much different in age, and you may have something in common." The middle-aged man solemnly instructed, with gentle eyes: "Maybe This land of mountains and rivers...can remind her of the past."

For some reason, although Takashi Natsume showed embarrassment for a few seconds, he finally nodded firmly: "Okay, I will do it."

The author has something to say: Appeared!The names of the former owner's parents who died in a car accident - [Xiangshu] and [Guangjia], because the mother and Shigeru Fujiwara are distant cousins, they are not the same surname.

As for the father's name, maybe some people who have played a certain domestic word game will understand what I mean, but just make sure you don't spit out lunch boxes.

In fact, Natsume's chapter is mainly about Xiaoyaowan's exploration of the secrets and past of this body, the daily style.
