brothers fight back

Hisuji followed Louis, got out of the carriage and didn't take a few steps, looked up at the rebuilt Moriarty mansion, then stopped again.

"What's wrong?" William noticed that Kuji's blue eyes were mixed with other colors just now.

It was the appearance of this color that made him stagnate.

"Big fire." Hisashi, who was questioned, replied obediently.

——Just now, he saw that the mansion was engulfed by soaring fire.

Hearing this, William smiled.

Seeing that Jiuji was still standing there looking at the repaired mansion, William said: "The fire has been extinguished."

Jiuji shook his head lightly, and said slowly: "...it's not extinguished, it's still burning."

This time, William said "hmm" and did not correct Jiuji again.

"This child..." Albert, who had already walked to the door of the hall, turned around, looked at Kijiri Kuji and William who were still standing there looking at the mansion, "Try not to let other people know that "his" is another child." layer identity. "

Albert: "It's your business to make him live like a normal person, Louis."

"Yes, Brother Albert." Louis agreed.

From that day on, Jiuji, who learned about this incident, began to follow Louis all the time.

Going out, eating, sleeping, washing, going to the bathroom...

"You don't want to follow me at this time!" Louis broke down and shut Jiuji out of the door.

"boom--!"

The door of the bathroom was violently closed by Louis, and Kuji, who was locked out of the door, tilted his head slightly for unknown reason, his eyes were pure in color.

A week later, Louis couldn't bear to seek William's help.However, after listening to Louis' words, William couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha——! Don't you have a good relationship like this now!" William put down the newspaper in his hand, and his ruby-colored eyes were full of small smiles.

"Even Kuji, who is well-read, probably doesn't realize that he has a strong sense of dependence on getting along with humans." William sighed and put down the newspaper, "Louis has to teach him that not all humans can be at ease. Depend, he can only rely on us."

"Yes..." Louis didn't have the confidence to teach Jiuji this, and even his voice in response was much weaker.

"Louis, only you can teach him this." William is very aware of the personalities of the two younger brothers, Louis is sensitive and lacks self-confidence, and Kuji is smart but has no defense against anything.

"Is it just me..." Louis suddenly felt the heavy responsibility of being an elder brother.

- That's right.He doesn't know any basic common sense, and his elders need to worry about him, isn't he just like his younger brother!

Thinking about this, Louis immediately thought of what he could teach Kuji now.

William smiled and saw that the dazed look on Louis's face when he entered the door was quietly replaced by firm belief, and he picked up the newspaper again with peace of mind and continued to read.

Seeing William reading and collecting information, Louis thoughtfully left quietly without making a sound.

Hisashi also stayed in his room reading a book.

Since yesterday, Louis has prohibited him from going to his room to play the floor with the quilt in his arms.So Kuji could only stay in his room, flipping through the books expressionlessly.

Sadly, the books that had attracted him so much in the past have lost their charm, and now Kuji's mind is full of Louis kneading dough and making biscuits.

Louis's cooking skills are really good.

Kuji thought about it, and felt that he must be hungry.

So he got up and left the room to find Louis.

"Ah... the boy in front, please wait a moment."

Hearing the sound, Jiuji stopped, turned around and looked up at the strange blond man who called him, but he had never seen him before.

"Excuse me, are you the child of the owner of this mansion?"

"I'm sorry. It's a little embarrassing to say, I got lost in this mansion." Kenneth looked at Kuji intently, and his tone of conversation was very sincere, "I'm Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, We should be meeting for the first time."

The other party only had the last sentence that he could respond to—even if he knew that the other party was not really lost, he couldn't directly expose the adult's lies.Kuji, who kept Louis's instructions in mind, thought about the matter clearly, and nodded seriously in response to the other party's last sentence.

"Can you lead me the way?" He could see through any flesh and blood human being with a magic circuit at a glance, but Kenneth couldn't see through the boy in front of him.

In order to further observe the boy in front of him, Kenneth took the initiative to spend more time with him.

"Where are you going?" Kuji asked politely.

"The living room, Albert is still waiting for me there." Kenneth was very satisfied that Jiuji used the honorific title for himself.

Hisuji tilted his head and thought for a moment, his appearance and posture seemed to be recalling how to get from here to the living room.Kenneth didn't have the slightest doubt, and stood quietly on the spot, waiting for the boy in front of him to say something.

"Please follow me." Jiuji took the initiative to walk in front of Kenneth to guide him.

"I don't know your name yet." Kenneth estimated the distance from here to the living room, and he had enough time to get to know the boy.

"Kusi." Jiusi deliberately concealed the surname "Kirikiri".

"I remember." Kenneth nodded reservedly, "Kusi was reading in his room just now? Do you usually like to read newspapers?"

Seeing that the boy in front of him did not answer, Kenneth took the initiative to explain: "I see that the fingertip of your right hand is stained with printing ink, either it is because you just read the latest edition of a book that has not been read, or it is a newspaper."

When Jiuji heard this, he immediately looked at his hand—the fingertips were indeed smeared with fine ink. He put down his hand and asked softly, "Are you a detective?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary teacher working in the clock tower." Kenneth revealed his information to Jiuji in a low-key manner.

At this point, Kenneth stopped continuing.His purpose was just to arouse the boy's curiosity about himself.If he can successfully plant the seeds of curiosity in this young man's heart today, they will have a chance to meet again in the future, and then he will definitely be more convenient than now to observe this young man.

"Here we are." Jiuji stopped.

He has successfully led Kenneth to the living room.

Albert saw Jiuji and Kenneth appearing at the same time, his expression was a little astonished, but it was only for a moment, he immediately got up to greet Kenneth, and asked Jiuji to go to Louis.

"Yes, brother Albert." Jiuji left the room voluntarily to find Louis.

If it wasn't for Kenneth's appearance, he should have eaten crispy and delicious biscuits by now.

Thinking of this, Jiuji didn't waste any more time, turned around and went straight to the place where Louis stayed most often without looking back.

Hisashi left, Albert asked the servant to leave and closed the door of the living room, only Albert and Kenneth were left in the huge living room.

"The head of the El-Melloi family came to visit today, is he here to ask about the money my father promised to borrow?"

"Compared with money, I care more about the child who sent me here just now."

"..."

"It seems that we can talk for a long time today."

"Kusi?" Just as Louis took out the whipped cream, he saw Kyuki Kiriki poking his head at the door of the kitchen, "What are you doing there?"

"Aren't you going to bake cookies today?" Seeing that he was spotted by Louis, Kuji stopped peeking at the door and walked straight into the kitchen.

"Won't you feel tired of baking cookies every day?" Louis was puzzled.

Hearing this, Jiuji immediately shook his head, looked at Louis with bright eyes, and sincerely praised: "The biscuits baked by brother Louis are delicious!"

"..."

He was caught off guard by a straight ball from Hisashi, and Louis lowered his head unnaturally.

"I just met a customer." Sensing that Louis was in a bad state, Jiuji immediately changed the subject.

"Guest?" Louis didn't hear that there was a visitor today, and when he heard the news, he immediately looked up at Jiuji suspiciously.

"Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald claims to be an ordinary teacher who works in the "Clock Tower", but his observation ability makes me feel more like a detective. His hands rested on the cooking table, exposing half of his head, carefully observing Louis' reaction.

"What did he tell you?" Louis frowned.

"I only answered my name, and took him to the living room. When he finally reached the living room, he came to a conclusion through his own observation, and asked me if I was reading a book just now, and if I usually like reading newspapers." Jiuji looked obediently Answered Louis.

""also"? "Louis no longer frowned, he looked towards the corridor where no one passed by except Jiuji, and muttered to himself, "Could this person have seen Brother William?" "

"Hmm..." Jiuji nodded and reminded, "Brother Louis, the cream is about to pour out."

Hearing Jiuji's reminder, Louis realized that he was holding the cream and talking to Jiuji the whole time.

Louis lowered his head silently: "..."

Seeing Louis who was quietly making the cream cake, Jiuji immediately went to the side and pulled out the chair that the maid specially prepared for him, and sat beside the cooking counter, obediently waiting for the cream cake to come out of the oven.

"Try it."

Louis never kept Kuji waiting for too long, so he handed him the cupcakes he had prepared to put aside.

Avoiding Kuji's suddenly bright eyes, Louis lowered his voice and asked, "How about the taste...?"

"Delicious! Is there any more?" Jiusi had already stared at the big cake on the table.

"Today is Brother William's birthday." Louis looked softly at the cake in front of him, "This is the first time I have made such a big cake to celebrate Brother William's birthday."

"Hmm..." Hisashi nodded clearly, "Brother William's birthday."

"Kusi's birthday is the day you wake up." Louis smiled and looked back at Jiuji.

"Where's brother Louis's?" Jiuji was curious.

Louis was startled, and quietly looked away, "Kusi, can you help me move this cake to the mobile table?"

"I can't move it by myself."

Louis obviously evaded the question, and Jiuji was puzzled for a moment, then responded with a quick "hm", stood up from the chair, stretched out his hand and carefully stabilized half of the bottom of the cake, and Louis was in charge of the other half. The two brothers worked hard The cake was moved onto the mobile table.

"I have prepared the birthday candles and champagne under the table. But..." Louis mentioned the champagne and remembered another thing. "We can't drink now. The champagne will be handed over to Mr. Butler after the celebration."

"Ah." Hisashi nodded in confusion, "Are we still drinking juice as usual?"

"Well, as usual." Louis responded with a smile.

But it was much more lively than usual.
