King of 25 Cubs

【Host?Host, come back to God! 】

I was woken up suddenly, and after a moment of silence, I bowed slightly in the direction where I could no longer see the familiar figure clearly.

"I also wish your dreams come true and your future is bright, Kise-kun."

I hooked the corners of my lips and said in a relaxed tone, "Let's go, let's go home."

When I got home, it was pitch black, and there was no movement.

"It's only past eight o'clock, is everyone asleep?" I muttered and shouted, "I'm back!"

Still no one cares about me.

"Anyone else who can breathe?"

Still no one paid me any attention, not even Dengtuzi's most active silly bird flew out to greet me as usual.

I was suddenly vigilant, and withdrew my hand that was originally reaching for the light switch, and put it in my pocket.

It was only dark in the room, but the display didn't seem to change under night vision, as if everyone disappeared in an instant.

My heart tensed instantly.

"If something happens here, Mr. Lovecraft in the sea will sense it, and he won't help at all. With his insurance, he can't protect the people in this room... This enemy is very difficult to deal with. "

I touched the trigger of the pistol with my fingertips, thought to myself, and walked cautiously deep into the house.

A gust of wind suddenly passed behind me, I turned around in an instant, took out a pistol and pressed it against the opponent's forehead.

That's when I realized something was wrong.

"sister?"

In the darkness, Gaosui Carambola looked at me with wide eyes.

I quickly withdrew my pistol and changed the subject: "Why don't you turn on the light?"

"Isn't it for the atmosphere?" Gaosui Carambola muttered in a low voice.

"What atmosphere?"

Yang Tao snapped her fingers: "Housekeeper!"

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

The butler came out of the kitchen singing a birthday song, and brought out a cake with seventeen thin candles. The cake was a bit ugly, limp, as if it was about to collapse.

"The whipped cream is not very good, and I didn't expect animal butter to melt so easily." Gao Sui Carambola rubbed her nose: "That... sister, happy birthday to you."

I stared blankly at the little girl, she seemed to be embarrassed by me, she lowered her head and pushed my back: "Blow out the candles!"

I smiled, walked briskly to the cake, and blew out the candles.

The lights also came on at this time.

"Sister, have you made a wish?"

"Ah, I forgot." I said angrily.

"Oh, what should I do then?" Gaosui Carambola went to find a lighter: "Blow out the candles again!"

I grabbed her and patted the little girl's head: "Thank you, no need, I don't have any unfulfilled wishes."

Gao Sui Carambola hesitated for a moment, then sat down again: "Okay, sister, try the cake, I made it myself, it may not be as delicious as yours, but the ingredients are good, the taste should not be too bad ……Bar."

In the end, she was a little less confident.

I cut the cake, and Gaosui Carambola was still chirping, like a happy little bird: "There are birthday presents delivered by other people. I put them on the table next to the sofa. Sister, do you want to open them?"

"I'll take it apart later, let me taste how your cake is doing first."

I smiled and dug a piece into my mouth under Gaosui Carambola's slightly nervous gaze.

Maybe there is too much sugar, and the overly sweet taste instantly fills the mouth.

"Delicious." I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Sweet or not? I thought you don't like sweet things very much, so I reduced the sugar by half."

"No, just right."

Gaosui Carambola heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Immediately she came over and hugged me: "Sister, it's great to have you here, if it wasn't for having you, I didn't know what to do during that time."

She should be talking about the time when the former head of the Takaho family passed away.

I thought about it and asked her, "Will the company help you?"

Gaosui Carambola froze, slowly let go of me, and said in a sad voice when she spoke again: "I'm with you, not for this..."

"I know." I touched my hair: "Doing business is very interesting, and making money is also very interesting, but after experiencing it, you will feel that it is nothing more than that. I never thought about owning it all the time. It was just to test you at first. Grandpa's. The company has passed the most difficult stage now, and it's okay for you to take over, I taught you before, and there are professional managers to help you."

"My sister helped you take care of it before, but now my sister is tired, can you let her take a rest?"

Gao Sui Carambola pursed the corners of her lips, remained silent for a long time, and finally hugged me again.

"Okay, but I still have a lot of things I don't know. I want to ask you for advice. Then don't... ignore me."

"it is good."

Afterwards we opened a bottle of wine, Gao Sui Carambola was not old enough to drink, the first time he drank, his face turned red after the first drink, and he fell asleep on the sofa directly after the third drink.

"Don't you drink?" I asked the butler.

"I was drunk and no one took care of the two ladies."

"It's okay, I'll give you a day off tonight."

In the end, under the persuasion that I could not refuse, the housekeeper also passed out. I sat on the armrest of the sofa and opened the express box on the table.

There is Master's new calligraphy, and this year's birthday message is "Riding the Wind and Waves"; there is a red scarf from my younger brother, I don't know if he wove it by himself; there is a brand new set of scalpels from Dr. Xie Ye; A whole box of snacks from Mr. Bu...

In addition to Butei, other people also gave gifts: Mr. Ango gave me a detailed explanation of the real questions of the college entrance examination; other colleagues in the Secret Service Section jointly gave me a set of computer desks and chairs; The necklace I wore on the cruise ship was given to me; Mr. Tiechang gave me the eggnog recipe; Deputy Chief Yezi gave me several wigs...

Odasaku gave me a camera and his own new book, and the children sent greeting cards drawn by themselves...

"This year is the year I have received the most gifts. Before I knew it, I knew so many people."

I smiled and asked the system: "Look at these, don't they look like summaries and farewells of one life after another?"

[What farewell?This is not goodbye, this is a new beginning. 】

The system reacted abruptly, considering the words: [Host, are you worried that you won't come back? 】

"Worry, why don't you worry." My tone was quite relaxed: "I'm not the chosen one, and it's not easy to live up to now. Every undercover job seems to be completed easily, but it also takes a lot of energy and effort. Ice came.

"Every time, I have imagined what the worst ending is, and whether I can accept such an ending; in fact, the worst this time is that I return to the former Maria, and I can accept failure, but..."

I looked at the pile of presents in front of me, and said with a bit of regret in my voice, "If I was still conscious at that time, I would definitely miss the present."

Finally, I took a piece of cake and sent it to the beach by the sea.

The sea breeze waded through the water and flowers, bringing with it a bit of tranquility before the rainstorm.

I put my messy hair behind my ears and said to the sea, "Mr. Lovecraft, please take care of me while I'm away."

After tidying up the mess and arranging everything, I suddenly remembered when I was walking upstairs to the bedroom, why did Dazai and Dengtuzi disappear?

"What did this person and bird do?"

I muttered and pushed open the bedroom door, turned on the light, and saw my bed was bulging, wondering what was hidden under the quilt.

I:"……"

All of a sudden a lot of crap popped up in my head.

This...isn't what I thought it was? ? ?Do you always think he is capable of such a thing?

I walked over speechlessly, and lifted the quilt: "Dazai, you—"

There was a sudden pause in the voice.

I froze and stared at the things on the bed in bewilderment.

It was a whole bed of boxes, seventeen in total, carefully packaged, each with a ribbon tied with a rose I bought during the day.

I opened the first one next to the bed, and inside was a whole box of diapers, and a card was stuffed——

【Gift to one-year-old Takaho Yuka, I wish you no bedwetting for the next year. 】

I laughed out loud.

I followed the order and opened the second box, which was a pink hair rope.

【Gift to the two-year-old Takaho Yuka, I hope you will never be bald. 】

The third box is small clothes and small bracelets.

[For the three-year-old Takaho Yuka, I hope you will become more and more beautiful and grow into a little girl that many people like. 】

The fourth box is an early education machine.

[For the four-year-old Takaho Yuka, I hope you will become smarter and wiser in the next year. 】

The fifth box is a handmade doll, very ugly, with a sand-colored trench coat and a bolo tie, bald and noseless.

【Gift to the five-year-old Takaho Yuka, all dolls have souls, talk to him when you are sad. 】

……

No.12 boxes are fountain pens.

【Is Yugo at school now?You must study hard and do your homework carefully, otherwise you will be like me and come out early to mix in society. 】

No. 13 boxes are nail polishes the same color as my eyes.

[13-year-old Yugo, is she already in love with beauty? 】

……

No.15 boxes are watches.

[Give it to 15-year-old Yugo, it matches your wrist better than knife marks. 】

No. 16 boxes, a pair of brown outdoor marker boots, and a claw knife that can be worn around the neck with a rope.

【Where is 16-year-old Yugo now?Have you traveled far?Have seen a lot of scenery?May the road under your feet be smooth forever; may there be no shadows of knives and blood in the distance you look at. 】

Finally, No.17 boxes.

Open it up, and it's a box full of candy.

【What others have but you don’t have, I will make up for you. 】

With shaking hands, I popped a candy bar into my mouth, put on my watch and claw knife, put on my marker boots, and picked up the nail polish to paint my nails.

While painting, we shed tears.

I silently said to myself:

It's okay, I just cry for a while, and I won't cry when I finish painting my nails.

The author has something to say:

I want to apologize, I am guilty, I wanted to save the manuscript until the end, but in the end, there were too many things in the past two months, and I didn't have much energy to code, so I only saved these.I'm sorry for making you wait so long, I haven't fulfilled my promise, I'm really, really sorry.

Next, there will be a daily update until the end, and there will be a free episode at the end, I hope to make up for my mistakes a little bit_(:з」∠)_
