Xia Mulan fiddled with the long hair hanging on her side and rolled it into small circles around her fingers: "Why is it scary? Well, I mean that knife, isn't it always quiet?"

She turned her face sideways and sighed: "If you could do this, it would save me a lot of trouble."

After hearing this, the silver-haired Tai Dao said, "Hey, little lady, you really don't know, Mikazuki - eh -."

He made a scared look on his face.

The girl was puzzled: "Is it so scary?"

The always naughty He thought for a moment and nodded cautiously.

"That's it." Lan supported her head with her arms.

"I don't know anything about swords, but that one." She pointed in the direction where the sword was placed, "Didn't I hear that is what it is, oh - the most beautiful blade in the world?"

"Yes, if he takes on the appearance of a human, he is definitely an eye-catcher." Tsurumaru agreed.

"Then why? You can't say this kind of thing unless you say it. Do the words of a beautiful woman scare people?" Lan was confused.

"It's because of the dark fall."

It was rare for Tsurumaru to straighten his expression, and his golden eyes revealed a serious feeling.

"The evil ghost transformed by a peerless beauty can eat people's lives." He said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Huh? Are you talking about those ominous black auras? Grandpa had already taken care of it when he gave it to me." The girl recalled the measures her grandfather took when he handed the sword to her.

"Who can know what Mikazuki is thinking in his heart? The guy who was purified is still unwilling to come out." Tsurumaru was not sure and said vaguely.

In the quiet room, on the dark wooden knife rest, the sword they were discussing was placed there quietly. The black-gold sword wrapped around the blade, and no one could see what it looked like inside.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to come out." Xia Mulan ended with these words, ending her and He's conversation about one of the five swords in the world.

"But I'm still curious, let's compare it with you." She pointed at Tsurumaru and said.

"Huh? What are you curious about, young lady?" This was Tai Dao who looked confused after hearing Xia Mulan's words.

The night wind blew through his white feather fabric, and the thin golden chain on it swayed. Tsurumaru, who was holding his hands on both sides, had one of his legs resting on the wooden floor, and the other one was empty. Hanging from the edge of a corridor without guardrails.

At this time, he was like a crane spreading its wings and flying into the vast sky of the land of water.

Xia Mulan, who has grown up and still has a good look, looks at such a seductive scene, and seems to have more patience for this cheap guard given by her grandfather.

"Of course I'm curious about why you jump so much and the other one is so quiet," she replied.

"As for Mikazuki, he is not a quiet handsome man!" Tsurumaru said that the young lady's evaluation of him was very untrue, "I am the quiet crane."

Xia Mulan was merciless and struck with words: "If you didn't say anything, you might still look like this."

"It makes me sad to be said like that, He."

Just ignore this explosive desire for performance, and the girl turned her head silently.

The next day.

Lan, who had been wandering for so many days, finally received a piece of unfortunate news.

After Grandpa learned that he was injured, he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well these days. Grandpa Hai couldn't bear it anymore and asked Teacher Cat to bring the message from Water Bird.

——She wants to go back to Yahara once.

I don’t know how to evaluate this return. Well, after the injury, I certainly hope that my grandpa can be by my side.

However, from the information brought by Grandpa Hai's waterfowl, I feel that after returning, it will be a bloody and miserable experience.

You must admit your mistake, you must do it!

After Xia Mulan learned the news, she was so worried that even her half-sloughed scales became even duller.

To be honest, she is a bit weak.

At that time, I was seriously injured, and I finally struggled through the many worlds and fell back to the land of water. I heard Teacher Mao said that Grandpa Hai later ignored the lack of fixed coordinates and the danger of being easily torn to pieces by the turbulence of the world, and personally Came once.

It was not long after Madara found her.

Fat Cat said that after seeing the blue dragon with huge cuts on his body at the bottom of the lake, his grandfather, who had become more gentle in recent years, rarely got angry.

A violent storm rolled up on the lake in the Water Country, and it lasted for seven days before it stopped.

Later, Grandpa God, who was also the third noble son, sent a lot of divine power to herself, and those big wounds healed quickly. She also transformed from an uncontrollable dragon into a human form, and was carried to the bed to recuperate.

By the way, at that time, Grandpa almost got into a fight with Madara because he didn't know his little friend.

Hearing this, Xia Mulan stroked her forehead with sadness.

She knows the character of her little friend, and is quite kind to her, enthusiastic and energetic. If you meet a stranger you don't know at all, you will definitely put on a pretentious and arrogant posture.

Well, just looking at him made me want to punch him, with a contemptuous and disdainful attitude.

I imagined the solemn Grandpa Hai meeting the equally cold-faced Madara, and the huge sparks they could create.

Live without love.

The girl sadly took a small brush, dipped some paste made from crushed herbs from a simple black pottery bowl, and smeared it on various places on her body while thinking about the eye-catching scene.

"But they didn't really fight." The fat cat was on the side, covering his nose with his stubby forelimbs. He felt that he couldn't stand this strange smell.

"I always feel that even if there is no fight, there will still be that kind of eye contact to see who will die." Lan continued to be melancholy.

She was even a little lucky that she was as comatose as a little piggy at that time, and the outside world didn't know what happened.

She applied a thick layer of herbal paste on herself like a condiment. The fat cat next to her picked up a roll of thick bandage and handed it to her.

Lan took it and tied it on herself skillfully - this was to prevent the herbs that had just been brushed on from falling off the surface of the skin.

You have to marinate it like this for at least an hour before you can get the flavor.

Xia Mulan glanced at Niangkou Sansan, who was supervising the work on the side, and thought with a joke.

?g, really looks like a little blue dragon about to be put on the grill.

Just like that, the girl was thinking about the taste of roasted houlong meat while wearing a bandage and fell into a dark dream.

The big worry monster, who turned into a calico cat, picked up the blanket placed on the wicker chair and dragged it to the girl. Then, his thick and warm body was pressed on the blanket.

Fat Cat also narrowed his eyes, like Lan, as if he was asleep.

In the afternoon, close to the moment of encountering the devil, the sleepy Lan woke up from her dream happily.

Tsk, it's even more itchy.

She couldn't help but roll on the tatami and rub the cushions beneath her.

"Tear!" Within a few moments, the cushion was torn away, revealing the cotton stuffing inside.

——Even during the period of shedding skin and changing scales, those armor plates that look old are still very lethal.

The cat teacher who was asleep opened his eyes: "Get ready, Lan. If you go back now, you can still make it in time for dinner."

After saying that, it walked out of the room with its short and fat limbs and bounced.

"Bang!" The chubby cat turned into a monster with white fur, bright red demon patterns, and golden eyes.

Xia Mulan, who was itching all over her body, stretched out her hand, and the originally flat nails on it became sharp. She roughly tore open the bandages holding the herbal paste.

The herb with a strange and pungent smell fell off her body, and Lan glanced at her arm.

Well, it seems like the little scales inside have grown a little longer.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" The monster beast soared over the land of water and urged.

After pulling off the bandage, he casually found a yukata and put it on Lan. He hurriedly opened the thin bamboo curtain outside the corridor of the bedroom, tapped the unobstructed edge of the corridor with his toes, and jumped into the air.

"You must be anxious to go back for dinner, Sansan." The girl teased.

The strings of wind chimes tied to the thin curtains made a violent and crisp collision sound due to this movement.

The giant beast in the sky caught Lan who jumped into the air, and flew over the torii gate in the distance. There was the edge of the barrier outside, and it was an existence similar to the human entrance.

"Baga, see through but don't tell, Lan, you immature brat." The monster complained.

The girl with the earth aura bead in her body was upright and appeared in another world, in the small yard of her home.

She landed steadily. Compared with the way she landed like dumplings in the pot when she was a child, Lan has become more dexterous in these years.

Before entering the door, the familiar aroma of food was smelled by my granddaughter with a keen sense of smell.

"I'm back!" Lan patted her chest, adjusted her mood, and shouted into the room.

Before there was a response, she left the cat teacher behind her and entered the entrance hall to change into the slippers at home.

"Welcome back, Ran-chan." Behind the steaming dinner table, the old man smiled softly.

The girl's eyes were a little moist for no reason.

The hidden wounds left by the confrontation with the law, the worry about the unpredictable future of friends, the courage of being alone, the pain after the wound burst, and the uneasiness of suddenly entering the scale change period without the guidance of an elder, all dissipated in this smile middle.

"Ojiisan——" she called to the old man, walked over to him and sat down.

The gray-haired grandfather looked carefully at his granddaughter, whom he had not seen for several months, and reached out to wipe off the remaining herbal paste on her face, "You have grown up, our Xiaolan."

"?g——I will always be grandpa's baby Ran-chan." The girl held her chin up and acted coquettishly, her chestnut fur head leaning against grandpa's, rubbing against each other.

Grandpa Hai, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen carrying the last two dishes. He glanced at the old man and the girl who were exchanging feelings between his grandfather and grandson, and said seriously: "It's time to eat."

What was finally served was a hot pot that is commonly eaten in Japanese families. It contained green onions, tofu, lettuce, carrots, chopped shiitake mushrooms, and the most important ingredient - top-quality beef.

In this family, both Natsume and Ran love sukiyaki very much.

Today's dinner was very sumptuous, probably because I knew my granddaughter was coming back. There was also luxurious sashimi on the side, especially the beautifully presented dish, which looked like a live fish. It looks super delicious.

On the side are still the miso soup with sea bream that Lan is very familiar with after drinking it for many years, and the tofu and shrimp balls placed in the sober and simple lacquerware.

Ah, praise Grandpa Hai’s superb cooking skills.

The cat teacher, who had turned into a fat cat at some point, also walked to the edge with his thick legs, looked at the tempura fried shrimp in his own cat bowl, and made excited begging sounds.

"I'm starting!" Lan Yuanqi said with clasped hands.

When she picked up the dishes, she was fighting against the fat cat.

At least at this moment, none of them mentioned the dangerous things their granddaughter had done impulsively, or the painful first few months.

As well as the old man's anxious and worried mood, and the sadness of not being able to personally take care of his granddaughter.

"Slow down, Lan." The old man with brown eyes poked at the rice in the bowl, spoke to Lan who was eating in a hurry, and then looked at the monster who had been with him for many years.

"And Sansan, you too."

Hai, who had a stern face next to him, finally gained some appetite when he saw the person next to him. He moved his chopsticks, picked up a piece of wagyu beef from the bubbling sukiyaki, dipped it in the egg liquid, and stuffed it into his partner's bowl. .

"Natori happened to go to Kyoto for filming, and the beef that was sent was delicious." He spoke to Natsume hard and dryly, like a salesman who was not good at words and wanted to vigorously sell various meals and soups on the table.

So after seeing his granddaughter return home safely, the old man was also moved by the enthusiasm (probably?) and slowly ate the food that slowly piled up in the bowl.
