king of yokohama

When you came to the pet shop the next day, Earl D was feeding a little rabbit with fresh vegetables in a cage. There was no incense outside the pet shop, so you didn’t see the human form of this little animal. The Earl in a new Tang suit looked very young and handsome.

When getting along with animals, when there are no outsiders, it is extra gentle.There is a smile on the eyebrows and eyes.

You sat on the chair opposite the Earl who was obviously very surprised by your sudden visit, and your eyes gradually focused on the black rabbit on the rosewood table top.

Its slender body is round and fluffy because of the fluffy rabbit fur, its long drooping ears mark its breed, and a pair of obsidian eyes are full of spirituality.You looked at this lop-eared rabbit with shiny black fur, and suddenly you poked its faded ear tips.Those are long ears full of layers, transitioning from black to gray, and finally completely white, hanging casually on both sides of the round and slightly flat head, indescribably cute and cute.

Perhaps feeling your strength, the lop-eared rabbit appears very docile, with harmless written all over its body.But you know that this type of rabbit will even eat people when they are very hungry. A few days ago, a couple who adopted a rabbit as a pet from the Earl died accidentally, and the news is still hanging in the newspaper.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong with your pet?" The count looked at you playing with the rabbit dotingly, and he could see that you had no intention of buying another pet.

The earl didn't seem very excited about the faint trace of human aura on your body, probably because in his eyes, the container that Huangba vomited was not human.At most, it is a rare animal in human form.

"No, it's my own problem." You didn't blame Gouzi, but directly stated your intention, "Count, I want to know if there is a way to temporarily change people from girls to boys, preferably under control of."

You don't want to be a man all your life. It's unimaginable that your bad personality keeps appearing in a man.You haven't forgotten why Mori Ogai adopted you back then. If you were a boy, you wouldn't be treated so well. You can't overestimate Mori Ogai's integrity and think that he would care about such a little blood relationship.

"The male drowning spring in the mantra spring township of Haizhou, Hua/Guoqing can do it." Earl D thought for a moment, and then gave a method to meet your requirements.

"Women who soak in this spring or drink from it will turn into men. This is the power of the curse. From now on, people who have been cursed will become men when they encounter cold water, and they will return to women when they encounter hot water. So far, there is no example of human beings successfully breaking the spell."

After explaining the function of the spring water a little bit, he smiled slightly, his different-colored pupils were radiant, showing a little curiosity.

"May I ask, what does Your Highness want this thing for? If you use it on yourself, the flames in your body will swallow the curse day by day until the effect of the spring water completely disappears."

"Hey, I just want to experience what it's like to be a man." You coughed lightly, concealing your original intention uncomfortably, because it's a bit embarrassing to talk to Earl about things like pleasing girls.

"There is still stock in the store, please wait a moment, Your Highness." Fortunately, Earl D did not pursue the question, but just smiled and clapped his hands lightly.

Before the sound fell, the lifelike flowers, birds, fish and insects on a screen placed in the store began to move visible to the naked eye, as if the painter in the story of the finishing touch gave them life.

The ink screen is like a small stone startling the ripples and sealing the water waves layer by layer. In the painting, a blue bird perched on the branch is the first to break through the water. Every piece of emerald-colored feathers is stretched out. The moisture of the forest stream Still on the flapping wings of the blue bird, the moist breeze blows in.

"Being preempted by Qingque again, damn it!"

"I also want to go out and get along with His Highness for a while."

"It's fine that the pet chosen by His Highness was me..."

The surface of the ink screen quickly calmed down, and the relaxed voice disappeared.

The whole body is green like a blue bird carved from emerald. The whole small animal is only the size of an adult's fist. It exudes a glass-like glossy texture, and the green is gorgeous and bright.Its eye pupils are verdant, fresh and bright, and the lines of its folded feathers are smooth and delicate, gentle and elegant yet graceful.A small lotus leaf is held between the water-green claws, and the crystal clear spring water is rolling inside.

Seeing you staring blankly, the green sparrow that flew in front of you uttered a clear and long song, urging you gently, the sound was like the echo of two jadeites gently colliding.

"Thank you."

When you came back to your senses, you took the lotus leaf full of male drowning spring water with both hands, and looked at Qingque with admiration.After drinking the spring water, the cool and slightly sweet spring water flows down the throat and into the stomach, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Just thinking about this, you raised your hand and touched your chest, it was flat and firm, and thought to yourself that it is fortunate that you are wearing shorts when you go out today, otherwise you would be frank.

Putting your hands down seemingly calmly, you decided to take back your thoughts and asked the count for a cup of hot water.

"It's amazing." Soon feeling the sudden extra weight there, you said excitedly.

"Your Highness, as long as you are happy." Earl D lowered his eyes and smiled, which was beyond beautiful.

You just declined the earl's warm hospitality and came out of the pet shop, and now you have time to take out your mobile phone to read the news.There's a text message from Silver, it's been a few hours, and you're just seeing it now.

The content is probably that I promised to go to see Ryunosuke together when I was free, but today you are rarely free, but Gin let you go because of the competition for the position of the ten leader of the Black Lizard, so I sincerely apologize.

[......I am so sorry.Brother is waiting over there, can I trouble sister Xin to go and have a look first?Arrive before twelve noon. ]

After reading the message, you close the flip phone.The journey from here to the slums would take at least two or three hours, and no matter whether we left or not, we were already late.You also don't know if Ryunosuke has the patience to wait for you, after all, it has been more than half a day since the agreed time.

After hesitating for a moment, you still decide to go. It's one thing whether Ryunosuke waits for you, but it's another thing whether you go or not.

Pi Xingdaiyue drove to the outskirts of the slums, the taxi driver said nothing and refused to move on, and you didn't make things difficult for him, just paid the money and got out of the car.

Eight years later, the slums have changed significantly from eight years ago. At least the garbage on the periphery has been cleaned up, and houses that are basically inhabitable have been built. The potholed roads have also been paved with cement, which looks much cleaner. Law and order also appears to have improved.

It's just...you were touched by Yin when you were 12 years old, and after giving Chun an order to improve the status quo of the slums, you didn't manage much, but Chun still reported the construction progress of the slums to you every month, until A few days before Chun’s death when you were 14 years old, the construction report and related financial expenditures were placed on your desk. You flipped through it at random and saw the pictures of the construction situation. The current construction progress of the slums is almost the same as that at that time. any changes.

Because of your trust in Feng, one of your own, you haven't read the construction report for a long time. Except for the time when Feng took the initiative to submit the report for you to review when he first took office, he has never reported to you afterwards.

So, it has been more than a year, what is Feng doing?You frowned, thinking that after you go back, you should check carefully whether Feng is passive and sabotage, or whether there are some problems encountered in the construction project that need to be solved.

Putting aside work matters, you inquired about Ryunosuke's news by using the usual method of killing chickens to warn monkeys, and accidentally learned that Ryunosuke has the title of "a mad dog that doesn't bark".Well, the translation of this name is not very pleasant, but you still agree with this statement that a dog that bites does not bark.

Suddenly seeing the figure of a young man appearing on the opposite side, your eyes lit up, you stopped caring about the gangsters stepping on your feet and other members of the organization who took the opportunity to escape, and immediately trot towards the person standing not far away.

Seeing that the other party doesn't seem to be alone, you paused, and called the boy by his last name, "Akutagawa!"

Hearing the voice calling for him, the boy under the moonlight stopped, frowned sideways and looked at you, a trace of surprise flashed across his dark pupils, as if he didn't know that you were coming here to see him.But the surprise was fleeting and was quickly replaced by understanding and embarrassment.

I saw the boy turned his head and said something to his companions, the voice of teasing came from over there, a very kind boy patted Ryunosuke's slightly thin shoulder encouragingly, and led the other children away up.

In a blink of an eye, there are only the two of you left in this field.You greeted it happily, but saw the black ferocious beast turned into sharp and sharp thorns to attack you.Your eyes flickered, and you were about to fight back, but after thinking about the reason, you gave up fighting back.

"You're a long time late."

Accompanied by Akutagawa Ryunosuke's cold voice, Rashomon barely stopped at your shoulder, as if it would pierce/pierce your body in the next second.

"I've also traveled a long way."

You said lightly, looking straight into his eyes without giving in at all.

Before the master could speak, the Rashomon who obeyed the master's heart and betrayed the boy's true feelings were the first to subdue.From an angle that the boy can't see, the black cloth rubs against your neck flatteringly, as soft as the down of a lop-eared rabbit.Your mood improves and your expression softens.

"no next time."

After a stalemate for a while, the boy who had grown a lot taller looked at you, who was covered in blood and hadn't wiped clean, and retracted the Rashomon.

"Did Ryunosuke and his friends come to see me after asking for leave?" You don't need to care about the address if there is no one you don't know. You look at him and see the white ends of his hair hanging on both sides of his cheeks. I always inexplicably think of the lop-eared rabbit I saw in Earl's shop.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke unexpectedly nodded frankly, his eyes fell on your blood-splattered chest, and his brows furrowed even tighter, "Are you a woman?" The features are unrecognizable.

You froze for a moment, and realized that the other party had misunderstood your gender just like Yin did. You wanted to explain, but suddenly a bad taste came to your mind, and you wanted to tease him.

"Do you know the female drowning spring?" You pretended to be sad, and told the setting of the curse spring village again, and then told the story that you were accidentally splashed with female drowning spring water by the enemy when you were on a mission. Original gender.

Seeing that what you said is true, Akutagawa Ryunosuke is dubious.On the one hand, he thinks that no man will joke about the dignity of a man. You may be a woman disguised as a man. On the other hand, he feels that the existence of this spring water is too mysterious, and both eyes are filled with "Prove it to me" Character.

You who have taken the male drowning spring water said that there is no problem, and immediately let the other party take you to the clear river to prove your innocence.

"It doesn't matter if you... are a woman..."

You only listened to the youthful and inaudible words, and then forgot about them. In a few seconds in front of the other party, you took off all your clothes and jumped into the icy cold river.

The person who was picked on was splashed with blood and sticky, it was really uncomfortable, so it was like taking a bath.

The river is not deep at all, but it is very clear. You can see the smooth pebbles on the bottom of the river. You can stand at the end of the river at 1.6 meters [-], and you can still show your head.Inexplicably, my thoughts went astray to Ruo Zhongye in this river...the picture is so beautiful, you dare not think about it.

Shaking your head, you, who don't know how to swim very well, flopped a bit, groping with your feet and standing on a big rock.Feeling that the curse of the male drowning spring has been triggered, you glanced down through the water, and blinked slowly in surprise, a little surprised.

As soon as the upper body surfaced and wanted to show the other party your toned muscles, you saw Ryunosuke's blank expression.

"Ryunosuke???"

Rashomon held your shoulders and forcibly pushed you back into the water, leaving only your head above the water surface with a bewildered expression, and several question marks popped out of your head.
