Those days in Honmaru

The alarm clock in the shape of a beckoning cat made a "didi" sound, stretched out a hand from the blanket wrapped in a ball, and took the alarm clock from the bedside table, "It's so cold..."

The teenager made a confused voice, opened one eye and tried to see the time on the alarm clock, "It's already nine o'clock?"

He opened the quilt a little bit, and the cold air rushed in. The boy shook his body and shrank back under the quilt, "Sure enough, I don't want to leave the bed at all in this weather, let's sleep for a while..."

"It's not good to stay in bed at the beginning of the new year, General." The young man in a white coat walked into the room, holding a whole set of kimonos in his hands, "Didn't I agree, I'm going to play with everyone all day today."

"That's what I said..." Natsume got up unwillingly, took a look at the clothes Yaken handed him, and sighed: "Is it the clothes you prepared indiscriminately?"

"Hehe, don't reject his intentions, everyone has helpful references." Yaoken pushed the frame, and Natsume seemed to see a light flashing on the glasses: "It's better to say, fortunately, everyone participated. The initial preparations were thorough. women's clothing."

Natsume immediately had no dissatisfaction with the suit: "It's great to stop this kind of behavior!"

With Yakuken's help, Natsume finally put on a whole set of kimonos, and finally put on a haori with bright patterns on a dark blue background.

"By the way, this haori was chosen by Yamabuchi, isn't it good?"

"Really?" Natsume was a little surprised. That young man who had always had low self-esteem and liked wearing white cloth the most would choose such gorgeous clothes. It was a surprising discovery.

"Although I want to change the cloak myself, but after helping to choose Haori, I blushed and fainted. Everyone thinks it's better not to embarrass him." Yaoken said the incredible content seriously, " At least there is progress."

"By the way, my younger brothers got up early because they were very excited, and they started playing as soon as they got up..." Yao Yan stood by the window a little embarrassed, "After all, it's the New Year, so I didn't stop them."

"What's wrong?" Natsume opened the curtains, only to see a piece of white. "No way……"

A huge dog made of snow appeared in front of him.I have to say that the details are still very well carved. There is also a collar around the dog's neck. Look carefully and there are many bells hanging on it... Simply put, it is a perfect work, but it looks a bit like a fox.

"Who made that... the knife pattern bell?"

"Ah, about that, I started talking about how a dog can't have a bell. Atsushi and Akita made everyone's bells together, and Imaken helped hang them up. By the way, the model was Fox Nosuke .”

I really don't know what to say about this situation. Natsume reacted and suddenly realized something: "Wait a minute! My room is on the second floor! This one is too big."

-

After complaining about the giant snow dog, Natsume and Yaken went downstairs together, and Maeda and Hirano ran over from the courtyard holding a bunch of ready-made snowballs, "Master~Happy New Year!"

Natsume greeted Gemini with a smile: "Good morning, Maeda and Heino, you have already started the snowball fight."

"This is the second chapter, look at this!" An abnormally energetic voice came from around the corner, Natsume turned his head, and was thrown backwards by the snowball in the middle of the face, hitting a person.

"Oops!" Cattail looked to the other side with a guilty conscience, stuffed the other snowballs into Gu Gu's arms, and sneaked back, "It has nothing to do with me."

"Brother...you betrayed me..." The white-haired boy looked at the escaped cattail and followed depressedly. "I'm joining another team."

"Sorry sorry~"

"The ones over there are not allowed to escape, Cattail!" The twin daggers chased after them in unison.Yaoken took a look at Natsume's situation, smiled and shook his head and left with his brothers.

"It's so cold!" Natsume patted the snow off, then turned to look at the person who was supporting her, the young man in white reached out and pinched Natsume's face with a smile, "You must have been scared early in the morning, Master. "

"I told you not to call me master... By the way, you are not cold." Natsume tightened his collar, feeling that a lot of snow fell into it just now, looking at Tsurumaru, he still tied up his sleeves I couldn't help trembling.

"This is where Fu Sangshen's body is convenient."

"I really want it too."

The two laughed and went to the kitchen together.

After the huge snow dog was piled up, Aizen and Hotaru felt that a snowman was still missing, so they hit it off and decided to continue creating in the courtyard. Akashi Kokugo lay on the corridor as usual, watching over his two children, and even beat him. A yawn, "The time when you don't move is the best."

Hotaru couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran over and said, "Come and play with us~"

"Eh? Don't do it~ I'm not motivated. That's my selling point..." Saying so, she was still resigned to her fate and was dragged by Hotaru to build a snowman.

The snowball fight on the other side didn't mean to end in the second chapter, and it once again affected the innocent.

"Ahhhh! Don't throw the snowball on my snowman!" With Aizen Kunijun's voice, the snowman's head was blown away by the snowball, and fell to the ground with a "slap" and shattered.

Hotaru looked at this scene with displeasure, and turned to Imken, the culprit, "So, do you want to try to fight?"

Jin Jian happily clapped his hands and flew up: "Is it Hotaru playing with me today? That's great!"

Wuhu Tui led the cubs to stand between the two of them, raised their hands and waved down: "Then...then, the third round of snowball fights officially begins!"

-

Candlestick cut wiped the sweat from his head, looked at the ingredients on the table: "I don't know if these are enough?"

Song Xian put on her apron, and walked over to take a look, a little embarrassed: "Every time I specially prepare a lot of food, those who are not coquettish will eat up all of them in a while."

"You don't need to say that, it would be great if everyone is happy." Candlestick Chee smiled, then turned to ask Hasebe next to him: "Is it really okay, cook with us?"

Hasebe rolled up his sleeves full of enthusiasm: "In order for the master to taste my craftsmanship at the beginning of the new year, I have already made up my mind."

Taiko Zhong Zhenzong's face suddenly appeared in the window, he patted the window to attract the attention of the three people inside: "What kind of awareness is needed for this kind of thing~ just do it gorgeously!"

"Those who are only responsible for eating are not qualified to speak!"

"Yeah, is Minghu planning to make fried tofu?" The little yellow fox stood on Minghu's shoulder and watched his movements, "Look at the amount, do you want to share it with someone?"

Minghu nodded, showing a happy smile under the mask, "Just now, I made an appointment with Xiaohumaru."

Candlestick reminded: "Be careful not to eat too much. If you eat too many snacks, you won't be able to eat dinner."

Natsume pushed the door open at this time, "Have you guys already started?"

"Happy New Year, master!" Hasebe greeted him with bright eyes, "Are you here to do something?"

"Well, let me see if I can help."

"Is that so, then, can the master trouble you?" Candlestick pondered for a while, pointed to the stone mortar in the corner and said, "I was going to do it in the afternoon."

"Is this for making rice cakes?" Natsume looked at Shijiu curiously, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of rice cakes. It's rare to make rice cakes at home in this world."

"Why don't you take this opportunity to try?"

"Oh! It seems very interesting!" Tsurumaru clapped his hands and settled the matter, "However, it's too common to use the old one. I'll ask someone to help~" He jumped out and walked away .

"Hahaha, Mr. Tsuru looks very happy, what happened." Candlestick narrowed his eyes and smiled at Natsume.

Natsume touched his lips and smiled secretly.

-

"Hahaha, as expected of the tea chosen by Oimaru, it's delicious."

"As long as you like it, Mr. Mikazuki."

"Well, look, the tea stem is standing up!"

"This is a good sign. It seems that this year will also have good luck."

"Hahaha."

Under the eaves, the elderly tea drinking group sat there as usual.

It was rare for the Lion King to come over with Nue in Honmaru, sat next to them, and took a cup of tea to drink.

"This is really rare, Lion King, you also come to drink tea with us." Sanri Yuezong looked at the Lion King kindly, as if looking at his own grandson...

"It's long-winded, I'm not much different from you in terms of age, and my former master is also an old man, so I fell in love with drinking tea before I knew it."

Nue circled around the Lion King, looked at the two people next to him, got San Riyue's touch to kill one, and shook happily.

Two more people came from the other side of the corridor, Yingmaru glanced curiously, and said with a smile: "Oh, happy new year, you two have been together today."

Kenmaru greeted them and said, "My brother and I are brothers with a very good relationship after all."

Mustache nodded, met eyes with the Lion King who was looking over, froze for a moment and then clapped his hands: "I see, New Year's money, right? Wait a minute."

The Lion King said frantically, "I don't want it! I'm not a child!"

"Brother, too, it's good to give out lucky money, if everyone you meet has to give out, no amount of money will be enough." Kagemaru also persuaded from the side. "However, remember to keep the owner's share."

"That's right, that... name..."

"Brother, I'm Kagemaru."

The Lion King complained: "The one who has been here since the beginning of the new year?!"

"Hahaha." San Riyue took a sip of tea, "Very good, very good."

-

"Brother Zongsan...Brother Jiangxue...this is for you." Xiao Ye blushed and placed the two little snowmen she made in front of her brothers.

"Thank you, Xiaoye, you made it specially for us." Zongsan took the little snowman, thought for a while and put it on the window sill, "Just put it here, it will melt soon if you put it indoors."

Jiang Xue touched Xiao Ye's head and led him outside. "It's one more short, how about we make Xiaoye's snowman together?"

"Well, if you're with my brothers."

The two squatted on the edge of the snow, looking serious as if they were doing important research, Zong San looked at his two brothers with a faint smile.

Hou and Akita of Zuo Wenwen's family looked at each other and smiled.

"Are they happy like this?"

"Oh! Of course! This is the New Year that comes only once a year!"

-

"Why would I...do this kind of thing!" California Qingguang panted while supporting his knees, then pointed to the huge stone mortar that had been brought over, "By the way, this stone mortar is too heavy! The size is also a problem!"

Yamato Shou Anding on the side also took a breath, spread his hands and said, "Who made us unlucky to be caught by Tsurumaru."

California Qingguang looked at his nails very distressed, "The newly painted nails were rubbed off this morning... I want the owner to appreciate it..."

"Okay, okay, I'll accompany you later to get it done again."

In the distance, Kunihiro Horikawa ran over with materials for making rice cakes: "Mr. Kane! I kept you waiting!"

"Kunihiro...you are too honest, you should run away at this time." Izumi Mori Kanesada shook his head helplessly, and glanced at Tsurumaru who was holding on to him, "It was said that there was a surprise, but it turned out to be a fight Rice cakes."

Tsurumaru laughed, "Look at this brand new stone mortar, didn't you find anything?"

"So..." Izumi Shou rubbed his chin, and looked at the huge stone mortar with a height of more than half a person in doubt, "Is the ordinary stone mortar so big?"

"No way!" California Qingguang complained fiercely, "Who the hell is so idle to do this!"

Kunihiro Yamabushi and Masakuni Tsudanuki sneezed at the same time.

"Ka Ka Ka, did the poor monk catch a cold? My practice is not enough!"

"That's right. Speaking of which, what exactly did Tsurumaru ask us to do just now?"

"Don't care about such small things! Just treat everything as part of your practice, Kakaka!"

"Hmph, when it comes to exercise, I won't lose to you."

As an aside, both are currently doing handstands.

Hachisu Kakotoru and Nagso Mikotoru walked over together at a distance of two people, the beauty with lavender long hair deliberately didn't look at the person who could be regarded as an older brother, "Why do you have to be with the counterfeit at the beginning of the new year. "

"Haha, because I was invited by Tsurumaru to make rice cakes together." Nagasoya got used to the other party's inappropriate performance, and turned to greet the youngest member of his family, "Come on, Urashima."

"Come on!" Urashima cheered and ran forward, grabbing the arms of the two elder brothers one by one, "Is there any gift for me today!"

"Of course, as the real thing, I'm different from a fake, and I won't leave anything that should be prepared."

"Hey, of course I have prepared lucky money for Urashima."

"Humph!"

Natsume came late, "Sorry, I just tried to make a haiku with Kasen, but I forgot the time and kept you waiting."

"It's just right." Tsurumaru took out several wooden mallets and distributed them to everyone, "Okay! Now everyone is here, let's make rice cakes together!"

-

Fudo Yukimitsu was walking around with a small bottle with Amazake written on it, passing the room of Odachi, and heard Jiro Tachi's voice from inside: "Okay, the first month must have the atmosphere of the first month, Come drink Tusu Bar~"

"You've been drinking all the time, Jiro."

Fudo Yukimitsu opened the door curiously, and there was a strong smell of alcohol rushing towards him. Jiro Tachi blushed and held up the bottle and drank non-stop. Judging by his state, he didn't know how long he had been drinking.

Jiro Tachi decorated the whole room like a bar. He stood at the bar as a clerk, but obviously the clerk decided to satisfy his own desires first. Taro Tachi sat opposite him and did not intend to say anything to him in such a state. It's just the normal state of his younger brother who likes the world.

In a sense, Taro Taidao is also controlled by a younger brother, but the degree of younger brother control is not as good as the one with many younger brothers.

"Hey, I'm drinking, hiccup, let me join in too." Fudo Yukimitsu sat down beside Taro Tachi, and pointed to the jar of Tusu wine beside Jiro, "Sure enough, we still have to drink in the New Year, hiccup .”

"Hahaha~ welcome!" Jiro Tachi likes to hear someone say that he wants to drink with him, so he took out an unopened wine bottle from the side and smashed it in front of Fudo Yukimitsu with a "clang", " Let's drink, let's drink~ If we don't get drunk, we won't go home!"

"Oh!"

"Fudo Yukimitsu is still a child, don't give him too much to drink." Although Taro Tachi persuaded him, he was obviously very happy and filled himself a glass of wine.

When Ishikirimaru came to look for Taro Tachi, he could only stand at the door with his forehead on his hands, and said with a wry smile: "Although we have to drink Tusu wine in the New Year, wouldn't it be too much to drink like this?"

"You came just in time, Ishikirimaru." Taro Tachi carried his drunk brother on his back, and said to Ishikirimaru apologetically, "As you can see, I'd better take Jiro to Yaken to get some hangover medicine. I'll leave Fudo Xingguang over there to you."

"In this case, you will be absent from the prayer ceremony, which is a bit pity."

"It doesn't matter, Smiling Qingjiang is also here, the two of you are enough."

"That's right, even if he didn't have the title of Divine Sword, Mr. Smiling Mian would have been able to stand on his own long ago."

-

Yao Yan looked at the two drunk people who were moved in with quite a headache, pointed to the bed and said, "Let's put it there for now, it will really make trouble for me when the new year comes."

Ishikirimaru looked at the people who occupied the other two seats, and asked in surprise, "Why are Dragonfly Kiri and Mitetsu here?"

The two famous guns whose names were called looked at each other in embarrassment and lowered their heads.

"I can't help it. I can't do anything except stabbing." Yutechu covered his eyes and said depressedly. Dragonfly scratched his head and explained to everyone: "I saw the master and the others making rice cakes in the courtyard before. At least in terms of strength, it can help a lot, but in the end it was too hard, and the mallet was broken..."

"The broken part hit my face smoothly, and I accidentally hit Dragonfly..."

Yao Yan concluded in the end: "Both fell to the ground with their heads smashed. The master was worried about them and let them come to me."

"It was originally kind, but in the end, the more you help, the more busy you are..."

"This is really, not very lucky." Ishikirimaru thought for a while and said, "Then let me say a prayer for the two of you first. By the way, Jiro Tachi and Fudo Yukimitsu are also together, even though they are still sleeping. gone."

Shikimaru smiled, took out the imperial coin that he carried with him, waved it according to certain steps, and said in his mouth: "eliminate disasters, purify filth, and eliminate bad luck..."

-

"Yan Rong Yan Rong~" Jin Jian flew towards a tall figure, throwing himself on the opponent's back, "I want the usual one!"

"Gahaha! Riding a horse, come on~" Yan Rong lowered his head cooperatively, letting the small Jinjian ride on his neck.Imaken opened his hands happily, "Wow~~ I'm going to fly~"

Yan Rong ran to Natsume with Jinjian and yelled at Natsume: "Hey, master, do you want to try it?"

Natsume looked at them helplessly, and shook his head: "I'd better forget it, I'm not a child anymore."

"Compared to me, the master is a child, Gahaha." Yan Rong shook the sword, "Then let's find other children, where are they all?"

"It seems that I'm pulling Yiqi to arrange the Honmaru, let's go and play with them." Jinjian clapped his hands and pointed forward, "It's time for hide-and-seek~ Who will be the first to find it!"

The two disappeared as quickly as when they first arrived.

"What are you here for?" Natsume looked at the things at hand, and said a little distressed: "Is it really okay for me to write this, I haven't learned much calligraphy yet."

"It doesn't matter, if the master can write a message for us, everyone will be very happy." Ge Xian said, "I will help the master as a staff member. I am a Wenxi knife."

"Well, I will work hard! At that time, I will tie these to the Manyozakura." Natsume looked out the window and smiled slightly, "It's almost time to bloom."

"Thanks to the master who has been using his spiritual power to nourish Manyozakura, it is possible to see such a scene on New Year's Day."

"Everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time, and of course I am too."

-

Wu Hutui hugged the little tiger and raised it in front of his elder brother: "Brother Yiqi, I changed new ties for the little tigers."

"Very cute, of course, Tui is also very cute." Yiqi Yizhen patted his head, smiled and praised him, Wuhu Tui lowered his head with a blushing face, and counted the little tigers, "Hey, one is missing Only."

Wu Hutui hurriedly said, "Well, I'll go find the little tiger first, I'm sorry..."

"Be careful not to fall."

The five tigers retreated and ran away with the other four cubs, searched around, and finally saw the remaining cub in the garden, as well as the big Kurigaro holding it.

"Mr. Dajuli..." Wuhu retreated for a moment and walked over. Dagulijiaro cast a glance at him and put the little tiger aside, "It ran over by itself."

"Because, Mr. Da Juli is very kind to small animals, hehe." Wuhu Tui laughed softly, "Well, happy new year, please take care of me in the future, and be with the little tigers."

"...Hmm." Okurigara rubbed the little fox's chin and responded in a low voice.

-

"Brother Phase One~ Where should I hang this?" Akita ran over with two knots in his hands, followed by Akita and looked curiously, "Wow, what a beautiful flower, what is it for?"

Yiqi Yizhen took the knot and walked out of the house while explaining: "This is hung on the door, in order to remove the bad luck of the past year and prevent the bad luck of the new year from entering."

Bodo appeared out of nowhere, with a notepad in his hand: "By the way, I asked Wanwu's shop to make these by hand, although it cost a lot of money!"

"It's all for a better New Year's Eve."

As soon as they opened the door, they saw Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki holding a camera and taking pictures not far away. After the man found Brother Awataguchi, he said in a unique Tosa accent: "Happy New Year, everyone! Anyway, let's pose for a photo first." Bar."

Unable to resist Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki's enthusiasm, he simply called all the younger brothers together, and the Awataguchi family gathered at the main entrance of Honmaru and left a photo.

-

In the evening, everyone changed into New Year's kimonos and gathered under the Manyo Sakura.

Natsume glanced at everyone, and pressed his hand on the trunk, his whole body exuded a faint white light, and the spiritual power was transmitted to Manyozakura along his arm.

The Wanyezakura swayed weakly, the overgrown buds bloomed little by little, and the pink cherry blossoms instantly filled the tree.

"really beautiful……"

As soon as they turned their heads, the Fusangshen let go of themselves and cheered.

"Just eating and drinking seems too boring, is there any program!" Tsurumaru suddenly suggested with a smile on his face.

"Do you want to perform! Then I'll leave it to AWT48~" Eyes flickered, and he looked at Yiqi Yizhen expectantly, "Brother Yiqi is also coming together~ The master is also watching."

He blinked at Natsume while talking, and Natsume nodded knowingly that he wanted to see it too.

"I didn't say I would refuse..." As a qualified younger brother, the most important thing is that he will work hard to fulfill the wishes of his younger brothers.Especially when the master is also taken care of as a younger brother, the situation of younger brother control is getting deeper and deeper.

After Sanri Yuezong watched their performance, he also stood up with a smile, and took out a fan from his waist: "It's a rare New Year, although I'm already a grandfather, let's also present a fan dance here, hahaha."

"Oh! The dance of the five swords in the world, this is not common!"

Just as Mikayue himself said, this dance of Sword Fusangshen, which has been passed down for thousands of years, exudes a peaceful atmosphere, which seems to be able to cleanse the hearts of everyone.

Natsume was stunned for a while, staring at Mikazuki as she walked back.Mikazuki smiled at Tsurumaru who was beside Natsume, and said to Natsume deliberately: "Have you been fascinated by Grandpa? You can touch it if you want."

Tsurumaru narrowed his eyes slightly, and pulled Natsume to the other side of Manyo Sakura against the eyes of others.

"Your Excellency Mikazuki, you have given Tsurumaru a fright." Kohomaru gave Mikazuki a thumbs up.

"Hahaha, very good very good."

Tsurumaru took Natsume up the tree and looked at him and said, "If I knew it, I wouldn't have played."

"But then there would be no shock." Natsume realized when Tsurumaru grabbed him, and now he spoke in the other's tone, with a smile in his eyes, "I'm still jealous because of Crescent Moon."

"It's not that someone's performance is not as good as they should be."

Natsume smiled and leaned over. After a long time, with slightly shortness of breath, he asked, "Is this performance enough?"

Tsurumaru rubbed Natsume's lips with his thumb, and replied with satisfaction: "Success scares me too, no matter what I do, I can't beat this surprise."

"Happy New Year, and we will always be together in the days to come."

The author has something to say:
