The Elegant Life of the Maodao Family

Wanted to strike a match to light a fire, so I asked him to make some.He seemed to see the mosquito coil for the first time when he came to my house, and he seemed to find it very novel.

After toasting with beer, I exclaimed, "This is summer in Japan~"

He looked at my face without saying a word.

"Although I lost my temper with you at the airport, it might be a good idea to bring you here. Have fun?"

"Um."

"Well, that would be great."

After about an hour and a half, the sky finally darkened.

When I went out to visit the grave, I bought fireworks at a convenience store on the way back.Although the bag is very childish, I am very much looking forward to it.

Although the release-type fireworks are indeed very gorgeous and beautiful, the incense fireworks have another charm. This may be an emotion similar to nostalgia, which will remind people of many past clouds and smoke. However, tonight should also create New memories will help, right?

We casually put on flip-flops we found in the shoe closet and headed out to the yard.

Rikimaru, who was tied to the warehouse, stopped barking even if he saw him, and just wagged his tail vigorously.

I opened the bag of fireworks in the spacious open space in front of the paddy fields and farmland.Light the candles and stand on the plate, and prepare the bucket filled with water, and finally let him hold the first firework.This is a cremation that bursts with aqua blue and pink, a simple and pretty type.

When he fired the front end, it soon began to shoot pale blue sparks.He was taken aback at first, but then seemed to enjoy watching the beautiful sparks scatter and burn out.

I also lit my own fireworks beside him.

Yellow sparks burst out, which turned pink shortly after.

He was lighting a second one when my sparkler went off.

Although ordinary, it is very beautiful.

What I am most happy about is that he accompanied me like a child to light simple fireworks and have a great time.

The two of us lit all the fireworks we bought together.

At the end of the day, there were only sticks and fireworks left, but he said he liked this best.I'm feeling it too.The charm of fireworks begins with incense sticks and ends with incense sticks.

The last one was held by me with him.

I let him hold the sparkler while I folded my hand over his.

Then, we quietly watched a spark draw a slender flower pattern, and then slowly burn out.

When the last sparks were snuffed out, I lifted his face and pressed a passionate kiss.

From tomorrow onwards, he will return to his mansion and live under the same roof.

I thought about bringing him with me the next time I return home and introducing him to my parents again.

Recently, Mao Dao has been very cold.

why?What's wrong?Did something happen——he was worried about it while he was doing the work of tidying the garden, and he was extremely irritable.Although I have warned myself several times not to worry about personal matters at work, but only this time it is difficult to change my mood smoothly anyway.When I came back to my senses repeatedly repeatedly, I found that my mind was full of thinking about that matter, and I was relieved after making sure that there were no important plants mixed with the weeds that I pulled out in a daze.It's really useless.

Since the end of summer, it seems that Mao Dao's attitude seems to have changed.

Although it is impossible to say exactly when it started, it should be shortly after the two of them visited his hometown together during the Obon Festival, and had a somewhat strange holiday, right?

He had no idea what was going on.

The two didn't quarrel, and they didn't remember what they had done that would make Mao Dao-shi angry.Even the Obon Festival event, which even slapped Maodao Shi in the beginning, intending to take a tough attitude towards his wayward behavior, he finally gave in.After the slap, Mao Dao didn't show signs of quarreling. In the next two days, he should have loved Mao Dao quite boldly despite being under the same roof as his parents.He felt that Mao Dao also spent a different summer than usual and had a good time.He felt the feeling of a clear connection between each other's minds.

That's how it should be.

Where is the dissatisfaction that caused Mao Dao's attitude to suddenly become cold?

Mao Dao's change is very obvious. He used to come out to the balcony whenever he was free, but he has hardly been seen recently.Even if I occasionally want to have brunch together, I will be rejected with reasons such as "I have a half-read book, so I will eat it later." I used to go to bed so late, but now sometimes I tell him: I'm going to bed early tonight."

The most obvious change is that he will refuse him one out of three nighttime sex.This confused him very much.Sometimes when he asked: "Don't you want to do it?" Mao Dao would reply with a little hesitation: "Because I'm tired." It doesn't matter if there is a reservation from early in the morning the next morning, but it doesn't seem to be the case.So he was sure that answer was just an excuse, and there was a feeling that he couldn't let go of.

There have been many small disputes so far.

Because he and Mao Dao both have a side that is inexplicably aggressive and unwilling to give in, so there are often small quarrels that are just a joke in retrospect.

If this incident was one of them, he wouldn't be so troubled.

But this time the situation is obviously different from that kind of petty dispute.

In short, talk to Mao Dao.

He made up his mind that tonight he must catch Mao Dao and ask him about it.Both yesterday and the day before yesterday, Mao Dao didn't come home until late at night. According to the housekeeper Hatano, he seemed to be accepting dinner invitations consecutively.

"This is really rare..." Hatano said with his head tilted.Hatano naturally noticed that Mao Dao's attitude was different from usual. Of course, Hatano would not inquire deeply about whether something embarrassing happened between them, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was very worried.

Mrs. Maojima has also been taking Koizumi out since the afternoon, but I heard that he is expected to come back before dinner.

Mao Dao appeared at the dinner table as scheduled.

He didn't know when Mao Daoshi would come back, but at least three days later, he was able to eat at the same table again, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's been a long time since I met you at the dinner table."

Hearing his words, Maujima only responded with a cold "hmm".

Mao Dao said very little, although he was dissatisfied with Mao Dao's short answer, but he still swallowed his anger and did not show it on his face.

"Where did you go during the day?"

He thought that Mao Dao probably went to an antique store to look at goods, or looked for a book with a beautiful cover in a bookstore, but he couldn't think of other good topics that could be used as a conversation opportunity.From the very beginning, he was not interested in the content of the answer.

--but.

"It has nothing to do with you."

When Chiujima-san used the knife and fork with elegant movements, while keeping his head slightly lowered, and replied in an emotionless voice, he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

I didn't expect to be dismissed by a sentence of "it has nothing to do with you".

He was a little unhappy, and felt that his stupid behavior of wanting to please Mao Dao was very stupid. He didn't do anything, and he didn't need to put up with Mao Dao, who obviously didn't even quarrel, but took a unilaterally cold attitude.whatever you want.

Mao Dao acted willfully and recklessly, ignoring the actions of him who should be a lover, which seriously hurt his self-esteem.

It is Mao Dao's fault that he will have bad thoughts.

His tone changed, and changed to a cold tone that was not lost to Mao Dao's.

"Oh, yes. It's really none of my business."

Mao Dao's fingers trembled suddenly, making the sound of silver tableware colliding with a plate.Mashima-san brought up his gaze, which was originally focused on the dinner plate, and quietly looked at him with a puzzled expression.The Mao Dao family is the Mao Dao family, and it seems that they don't understand the reason for his sudden unhappiness.This made him even more angry. No matter how special Mao Dao is, he should observe other people's emotions more keenly.Even though everyone around him is very tolerant towards him, only he does not intend to forgive Mao Dao on the grounds of "because he is Mao Dao".

"I'm sorry for asking unnecessary questions, but you have your own way of killing time. Even if you meet someone in a place I don't know, I have no right to ask."

"Why do you say that?"

Maojima put the knife and fork that he was holding onto the plate.The reason why the pale face was slightly flushed was because of anger.

Really.

I'm the one to be angry.

He deliberately sighed.

"You said that you have nothing to do with me?"

Then he gave Mao Dao a hard look, and this time he pretended to be nonchalant, and began to bury his head in the dinner plate.Although he felt Mao Dao's needle-like gaze, he deliberately did not raise his head.

"Just go to the gallery and look at the lithographs."

Mao Dao said so belatedly, and the answer basically did not exceed his expectations.He had expected it a long time ago, anyway, it should be almost like that.

He ignored him as if he didn't hear Mao Bird's words.

Although he knew that this was very naive, he was very worried about the fact that he was rejected with "it has nothing to do with you" at the beginning.The mood is in the state of "it is too late to recover now".

Because he didn't even answer a word of harmony, the atmosphere at the scene became very heavy in an instant.

Both sides didn't say a word, and then just continued to eat.The only sound echoing in the spacious restaurant was the sound of tableware clashing, and when Hatano came to change the plates, he simply explained the dishes.
