Before the pointer moved from "11" to "12", that is, before February [-]th, Su Yong Hongying only handed over the birthday gift belonging to Xia Youjie to Gojo Wu, because Xia Youjie went out again. It's a mission, I don't know when I can come back.

Although Mo Yonghongying understood that it was impossible for the mantra spirit to avoid special days thoughtfully, but he missed one after another, it can only be said that his luck was really bad.

"It's just a small matter, Jay won't care about it."

Gojo Gojo hugged Sueyong Hongying's shoulders with a playful smile, and he gestured at his height, pretending to be unbelievable: "It's been a while since I saw you, and you've become shorter?"

Sue Yonghongying glanced resentfully at the white-haired magician boy, obviously he was not too short for his peers, but the other party sprinted around like he was pouring chemical fertilizers, which made him seem to be shorter when he didn't grow so fast up.

He sighed and called out, "Uncle."

Gojo Wujo slapped him on the top of his head with a grinning grin: "Smelly brat, try shouting again?"

Xia Youjie was not here today, and no one was protecting him, so Mo Yonghongying had no choice but to surrender strategically. He reluctantly called out "Wu", only to be let go by Wujo Wu, who may not be as old as him mentally.

He straightened his hair that was curled up like a bird's nest expressionlessly, recalled the scene he saw through Nightingale's eyes that day, and asked, "Has anything happened recently?"

Gojo Satoru recalled all the things he experienced in the new year: "As before, go to school when you should go to school, and do missions when you should, nothing special... It's been a long time since I saw you, an idiot, which made me feel better —does that count?"

Mo Yonghongying complained, "You must have passed menopause."

Gojo Satoru was laughed out of anger: "Your mouth is so reckless that your family members are reckless."

"There's no need to talk to them."

Gojo Satoru seemed to have noticed Sue Yonghongying's implication, he raised his eyebrows with great interest: "Is it necessary to be with me?"

Mo Yonghongying nodded, and said calmly: "Well, you are more human."

Gojo Wu: "Damn! You say I'm a dog!?"

"I didn't say that." Mo Yong Hongying shrugged innocently, he skipped this topic, and didn't argue with the childish DK, he was more concerned about other things, "Aside from that, is there no other change?" ?”

"How come you are like the aunt from the neighborhood committee who came to investigate?" The blue eyes behind the sunglasses rolled their eyes indecently, "If you want to talk about changes, it must be that I learned the reversal technique."

Mentioning this point, Gojo Satoru couldn't help showing off triumphantly: "How is it? Isn't it amazing?"

As an operation that turns the reverse energy of the mantra itself into positive energy, the reversal technique can achieve the effect of healing and regeneration. There are only a handful of conjurers who have mastered this superb technique.

Now that Gojo Satoru has learned the reversal technique, it means that the no-lower-limit technique and the reversal technique can be used without interruption.

If he can master the reversal technique perfectly, he can adjust the technique from manual to automatic without a lower limit, which is a qualitative leap in strength.

Although Sue Yong Hongying is very aware of the above, he really thinks Gojo Satoru is very powerful, but because the two have unknowingly become a mutually damaging relationship, he subconsciously uttered a bitter and sarcastic sarcasm that is completely opposite to his inner activities : "Do you claim to be the strongest but only learn it?"

Gojo Satoru: "?"

Wujo Wu: "Come, come, let me beat you up, can you... comprehend the reversal technique."

Sue Yong Hongying: "..."

What a joke!He is not a magician, even if he is killed, it is impossible to learn the reverse spell!

Seeing that Gojo Satoru seemed to be coming for real, Sueyong Hongying hurried away with a supernatural ability, and instantly turned into an afterimage under the addition of "Red Shoes", even Gojo Satoru was overwhelmed by this never-before-seen ability I was taken aback for a while.

——It turns out that this stinky brat's ability is not to devour energy! ?

It was only then that Gojo Satoru realized that Su Yong Hongying had never revealed what his supernatural power was, and would only cover it with silence or vague answers, leading him to make wrong judgments.

He snorted lightly, and had no intention of chasing him: "You underestimated him..."

Gojo Satoru lifted up the gift bag in his hand, which was the birthday present Su Yonghong asked himself to give to Xia Youjie. Six Eyes allowed him to clearly see that the two waves of energy fluctuations, spells and supernatural powers, were intertwined, representing supernatural powers. That group of energy has the absolute upper hand.

He felt more and more that Mo Yong Hongying was a wonderful creature that was difficult to guess with ordinary people's brain circuits.

That is to say, how could someone give a special-grade mantra as a gift?

……

The heavy snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped.

Downstairs in the headquarters of Mafia at the port, two bottom-level members each hold an ice and snow shovel. They are complaining that they have been shoveling snow every early morning. Not only are they bitter, cold and tired, but they also have to get up before dawn.

"I hope it won't snow anymore. Even sweeping the building is better than shoveling snow. At least there is a hot air conditioner."

"Forget it, if you are sent to clean the interrogation room, you might as well shovel snow."

"Oh, that's what I said."

"It shouldn't snow anymore, spring is coming."

A calm juvenile voice suddenly joined the conversation without warning, like a ghost who could not detect the slightest approaching breath, startling the two bottom members.

They turned their heads, and a boy with blue hair and gray eyes came from behind. He was tightly surrounded by a thick dark gray woolen scarf, as if he wanted to cover his entire face exposed to the air, so his voice It sounds a little stuffy.

They recognized each other at a glance, and they were one of the highly acclaimed cadre candidates in private, see Tsukize.

"Good morning, Tsukase-sama." One of them greeted with a smile, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Yuejianli Hongying pulled down the scarf, and her voice became clearer: "No."

"You're still growing up, and you're still so busy with work, you can't skip breakfast." Another person said disapprovingly, "I brought rice balls, do you want some? There are salmon and eel stuffing."

"No need." Yue Jianli Hongying shook her head, "I'm going to eat in the office, I haven't finished the snacks everyone gave me last time."

"Remember to check the shelf life. Many snacks have a very short shelf life. Throw them away after the expiration date, otherwise you will spoil your stomach."

"I know."

Yuejianli Hongying felt that this group of guys were getting more and more exaggerated. In their eyes, poor brains may not be as simple as insufficient IQ, but equivalent to mentally handicapped children lacking common sense.

Before the two bottom-level members had finished shoveling the snow, Tsukimi Ri Hongying walked into the building alone.

The lady at the front desk said hello with a smile: "Good morning, Tsukize-sama."

"Good morning, Ms. Shibazaki." Tsukimi Ri Hongying asked, "Did Ms. Matsushima ask for leave today?"

"Yeah, how do you know? She's picking out a wedding dress, and she's getting married next month."

"So that's how it is." Yue Jianli Hongying decided to wait to find out what gifts to get for the wedding. After all, Ms. Matsushima usually takes care of herself (for takeout and delivery), so she just took the opportunity to express his gratitude, "Because Matsushima Miss is working on Wednesday."

Ms. Shibazaki looked surprised: "Do you actually remember such a trivial matter?"

"It's been more than a year since I joined Port Mafia, so it's strange if I don't remember."

In fact, Hongying Tsukimi figured out the shifts of Ms. Matsushima and Ms. Shibazaki as early as the first month. It is very easy to remember. One, three, five is Ms. Matsushima, two, four, six is ​​Ms. Shibazaki, and Sunday is Take turns at work.

"Based on that, most of the port Mafia are strange people." Ms. Shibazaki smiled and said with emotion, "No wonder everyone likes you very much. You are really a good and careful boss."

Yuejian Li Hongying: "?"

Thinking too much, he just habitually observes the situation around him, and he has a better memory.

Seeing that the dark blue-haired boy's nose was a little red from the cold, Ms. Shibazaki asked, "Do you need a hand warmer? It just happened to be fully charged."

Tsukimi Ri Hongying just wanted to refuse, but Ms. Shibazaki had already unplugged the charging cable of the hand warmer, she walked out from the front desk, and handed the hand warmer to him: "Are your hands frozen? Wait It will be difficult to hold a pen or type on a keyboard for a while."

Yuejian Li Hongying had no choice but to swallow the words of rejection, and put on a gentle smile: "Thank you, I will send it down when I run out."

Ms. Shibazaki waved her hand: "Just put it at the front desk when you get off work. You don't have to run down specially, what a waste of time."

So, Yue Jianli Hongying took a yellow Pikachu hand warmer and got into the elevator. As soon as he entered the car, a colleague from the next department who was riding with him kindly helped him press the button for the fifth floor.

"Thank you." Yuejian Li Hongying felt that the number of times he thanked him had skyrocketed in the past few months.

"It's okay." The colleague noticed the hand warmer in the hand of the dark blue-haired boy, and asked in surprise, "Miss Shibazaki gave it to you?"

"Ah."

The colleague said with emotion: "A few days ago, she joked that it was in winter, and she would die if she left it. I didn't expect that she would give it to you."

Yue Jianli Hong Ying didn't know what to say, he was not very good at expressing this aspect, but fortunately the silence didn't last for a long time, and the elevator just reached the fifth floor, which gave him a good reason to give up responding.

He stepped out of the elevator and walked to the office.

Although Tsukimi Ri Hongying has adapted to the overly friendly attitude of his colleagues, he often responds to bitter hands like this time.

After all, compared to dealing with goodwill, dealing with malice is what he has the most contact with and is also the best at. However, his coping methods often choose to ignore, so there is no reference value.

In the end, he could only say something that sounded very alienated, including the same with Xia Youjie and Wujo Satoru before.

Fortunately, everyone never paid much attention to his slightly indifferent attitude. Even if he said some tricky words, they would just smile helplessly, and maybe make a pat on the head.

— was not taken seriously at all.

Whenever this time, Tsukimi Rihongying has a strange feeling, as if frustration and happiness are stirred together like whipped cream, and then poured into the heart with only one empty shell, and finally sealed in the ice layer Down.

He still behaved very coldly, as if there was no difference from usual.

Yuejianli... Hong Ying walked into the office, and took off her warm suit as usual.

He sat down with a warm hand warmer, and for a moment he had an idealistic illusion of "Actually, it wasn't the hand warmer that brought him warmth?"

Because Oda Sakunosuke invited him to visit his adopted children, the moment his frozen hands regained consciousness, he immediately threw himself into work.

Today he will try to end work early and resolutely not work overtime.

……

At the beginning, when I learned that Sakunosuke Oda adopted orphans from the Dragon Head War, Tsukimi Ri Hongying was not particularly surprised. As long as Osamu Dazai did not adopt orphans, there is nothing strange about it.

But when he asked how many orphans Oda Sakunosuke had adopted, and the other party answered five, he remained silent for a few seconds.

One or two is nothing, even three is nothing, but five... Oda Sakunosuke is just a low-level member. Is his salary enough to support the daily expenses of so many children?

Regarding Tsukimi Ri Hongying's doubts, Oda Sakunosuke vowed that there is no need to worry, he knows it well, and these are within his financial range.

Since this reliable adult had said so, Yuejian Li Hongying wouldn't ask too much, but he gave a guarantee that he could ask him for money if he didn't have enough money.

Although Mori Ogai is as stingy as a penny-pinching iron rooster, it is mainly reflected in the two aspects of employee holidays and organizational interests-maybe a promotion for Hong Ying in Yuejian, but he is never stingy in terms of salary .

Even if Mori Ogai withholds his salary, Yue Jianli Hongying will not be reduced to the point where he is short of money. As long as he wants to, is it not easy to earn money?

But Oda Sakunosuke solemnly refused: "Thank you, but I want to raise them by my own ability."

Yuejianli Hongying felt that he was too serious: "Isn't it also a kind of ability to get money from me?"

Oda Sakunosuke shook his head: "It can't be confused."

"Oh..." Yuejian Li Hongying raised his head, staring straight at the red-haired young man, his light gray eyes seemed to be surrounded by an unreal mist, and then he nodded thoughtfully, " I see."

The "ability" mentioned by the other party should refer to a more practical and specific ability, such as physical strength, labor force, brain power, craftsmanship, etc. The emotional ones he mentioned will not be counted in it.

Although he felt that there was no big difference, it should be classified as personal ability, but since Oda Sakunosuke said it was different, then it should be different.

He doesn't like pointless arguments.

"Odasaku." Tsukimi Rihongying suddenly asked, "Are we friends?"

"A friend... what do you think?"

After thinking for a while, Hongying Yuejian replied, "If you think it is, then it is."

Oda Sakunosuke was a little surprised by this answer. He thought that the other party would give a more accurate answer instead of giving himself the right to choose: "Then if you think it is, I also think it is."

"Isn't this a bunch of nonsense?" Yuejian Li Hongying made a final decision, "That's right, we are friends."

Oda Sakunosuke hesitated: "Will it be too casual?"

"Don't we need to find a Taoyuan, and then make a sworn alliance with wine and blood?" Yuejian Li Hongying joked, "The kind that doesn't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but only wants to die in the same year and the same month."

Oda Sakunosuke said seriously: "There is no need to die in the same year and the same month. If this happens, no matter who you are, you should live a good life."

"Weaving... Tian Zuo, you should complain about me at this time, not such a serious topic."

"Ah, so that's the case?" Oda Sakunosuke suddenly said, "Okay, I'll try my best next time."

"There is no need to work hard in this regard."

Tsukimiri Hongying followed Oda Sakunosuke to a western restaurant. It is said that the owner of the restaurant is a friend who has been with Oda Sakunosuke for many years. The five adopted orphans were all fostered on the second floor of the restaurant.

"Here we come, Odasaku." The middle-aged man with a big belly greeted the old customers familiarly, noticing the immature and unfamiliar face next to him, his eyes covered with smile lines moved down a little, "This Who is the little brother? Are you going to adopt another child?"

Yuejian Li Hongying: "..."

Oda Sakunosuke coughed dryly: "He is my friend Tsukasemi, who came to visit those children."

"Haha, that's how it is!" The restaurant owner scratched his head with a smile, his thinning hair looked even more precarious, "I'm sorry, Tsukase—can I call you that? Oda Saku brought back so many Kids, I just reflexively thought you were too."

"It's okay." Tsukimi Ri Hongying looked in the direction of the stairs, "May I go straight up?"

Oda Sakunosuke nodded: "Well, let's go up after eating a good meal. The curry rice in this store is delicious."

After sitting at the table and waiting for a while, the owner of the restaurant came out from the back door with two servings of hot curry rice. There was a strong smell of spices in the air, which stimulated the appetite of the diners.

Tsukimi Ri Hongying stirred the curry rice, scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth. The soft and rotten vegetables melted without chewing hard. Enough to call it delicious.

But the essence of this curry rice does not lie in this.

At the moment of the entrance, a terrifying devil's hotness rushed straight to Tianling Gai. Without any preparation, even Yuejian Li Hongying, who can eat spicy food, couldn't help being so hot that she burst into tears uncontrollably, and her vision was blurred. few.

——Delicious is delicious, but why is it so spicy! ?

"Tsukase, how does the curry taste?" the restaurant owner asked.

Tsukimi Rihongying swallowed the curry rice in his mouth calmly, he picked up the water glass at hand, although his expression looked calm, he drank half of the glass before putting it down: "It's a bit spicy, but it's good eat."

Tsukimi Ri Hongying turned his head and glanced at Oda Sakunosuke. Compared with his calm face that was numbed by the spicy, the other party was really calm. He seemed to be unable to feel a trace of spicy taste, enjoying the curry mouthful after mouthful. The deliciousness that rice brings to itself.

If it wasn't for this person being Oda Sakunosuke, Tsukimi Ri Hongying would have suspected that she had been tricked.

With the experience of being caught off guard by the first bite, there is no exaggeration in the next one, but he still couldn't help being so hot that he almost shed tears, and he drank two full glasses of water before finishing the curry rice.

He wiped the wet corners of his eyes with a tissue, and opening his mouth without exaggeration was the result of his efforts to maintain his image.

Oda Sakunosuke exchanged pleasantries with the restaurant owner for a while, and they talked about the children's current situation. After the conversation, he took Tsukimi Ri Hiroe upstairs.

The second floor is old enough to be seen by the naked eye, the steel bars on the walls are exposed to the air, and the wallpaper that has experienced the baptism of time is glowing yellow.

Still, it's not a bad place to live for the children orphaned in the Dragon Head War, who would have died in that war otherwise.

Oda Sakunosuke opened the door, and the living room was empty.

Yuejianli Hongying poked her head out from behind, her gray eyes scanned around, and paused inconspicuously in certain positions.

The concealment is really bad, I believe Odasaku has already discovered it.

In the next second, five children aimed at the red-haired young man from different directions and rushed towards him. Each of them was full of momentum, assuming that they must knock down each other.

Tsukimi Ri Hongying watched all this silently, and within half a minute, they were all knocked down by Oda Sakunosuke.

The child who seemed to be the leader said unconvinced: "Damn it! Failed again!"

Looking at this happy (?) warm picture, Yuejian Li Hongying chuckled and kindly offered a suggestion: "Even if there are five of you, it's useless to rely on brute force."

"What should I do?"

"Use your brain more."

Oda Sakunosuke showed a surprised expression. Hearing such words from Tsukimi Ri Hongying's mouth seemed to be contrary to Dazai Osamu's advice to live positively.

The other child looked curiously at this strange boy with dark blue hair. Just standing there, he was as peaceful and peaceful as a lake under the moonlight, which made people feel calm and trustworthy without knowing it. : "Who are you? Are you going to live with us in the future?"

Hongying sighed inwardly in Tsukimi, and was asked this for the second time in just one day: "My name is Tsukigasemi, and I am Odasaku's friend."

"Friend?" The older child widened his eyes and cautiously probed, "Could it be that you too..."

Yuejian Li Hongying tilted her head: "Really?"

"mafia……"

"Ah, in terms of work, I'm Odasaku's boss."

"Wow! Are you that good!" The older child ran up to Tsukimiri Hongying, raised his head in admiration, "My name is Xingsuke! At what age did you join the mafia? I also I want to join the mafia!"

"16 years old." Yuejian Li Hongying said, "As long as you are strong enough, you can join at any time."

The best example is Yumeno Kusaku, he looks about ten years old, and it is said that he was a member of Port Mafia a long time ago.

Kosuke asked expectantly, "Then what do you think of me?"

Yuejianli Hongying poured a basin of cold water ruthlessly: "Very weak."

The hit Xingsuke was instantly petrified, but he recovered quickly, and said with ambition and pride: "I will definitely become a mafia!"

Tsukimi Ri Hongying imitated how everyone treated him before, and touched Xingsuke's head to express encouragement: "Come on, you can help me in the future."

Xingjie protested unconvinced: "I don't want to fight! I want to be a cadre!"

Yuejian Li Hongying smiled slightly: "Yeah, come on."

It's a good idea, he hasn't become a cadre yet.

The five orphans adopted by Oda Sakunosuke are all young, the oldest Xingsuke is only seven or eight years old, and the youngest is only two or three years old.

There is only one girl named Sakule, and the others are boys named Shinji, Yu, and Katsumi.

Looking at this group of children, Yuejian Li Hongying remembered that when Xia Youjie knew her back then, he was only seven years old.

It's just that the difference is still very big. Under the careful care of Oda Sakunosuke and the restaurant owner, these children are very lively and cheerful, not like him back then.

- Now he is not much better.

The light gray eyes reflected the picture of Oda Sakunosuke talking and laughing with the five children, Tsuki... Miri Hongying watched everything quietly, like an outsider standing outside the picture frame.

It wasn't until the red-haired youth said a few words to the children and strode towards him that the invisible barrier was broken.

Yuejian Li Hongying asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Oda Sakunosuke shook his head, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he had when he looked at the dark blue-haired boy just now, it was somewhat similar to the feeling that Osamu Dazai gave him.

But it seemed to be completely different, "It suddenly occurred to me that I invited you here without permission, but I didn't ask you if you like this kind of occasion."

In his impression, this young boss has always been a quiet and introverted person, which made him a little worried. Does the other party dislike a too noisy environment?

"Why do you think so?"

"It seems that you don't talk much."

"I just remembered some things from the past." Yue Jianli Hongying smiled, "If I don't like it, I will refuse."

Oda Sakunosuke breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

After an unknown amount of time, the sky outside completely darkened, and Tsukimi Ri Hongying decided to leave.

Oda Sakunosuke was so entangled by the children that they hung around his side one by one, Tsukimi Ri Hongying rejected his plan to send her away, and walked down the second floor alone.

"Ah, are you going back?" The owner of the restaurant stood up, seeing that the only person going up and down the stairs was Tsukimi Ri Hongying, and he showed a clear expression, "Odasaku is being entangled by them again?"

"Well, he's very popular with the kids."

"Hahaha, yes, who made him an out-and-out good old man."

"You are also a very good person who is willing to lend out the room." Yue Jianli Hongying picked up the pen on the table, spread out the booklet for recording food orders, and wrote a series of numbers on it, Then handed it to the restaurant owner.

"This is……"

"My mobile phone number." Tsukimi Ri Hongying replied, "If the children's living expenses are relatively tight, you can contact me. You don't have to return it to me, but you can't tell Odasaku."

In order to avoid the situation where the restaurant owner thought he was joking because of his age, he specifically added: "I am Odasaku's boss, and my salary is very generous. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. In short, don't worry about money."

The owner of the restaurant accepted the booklet with his mobile phone number in surprise. The young man’s handwriting was neat but powerful, and he couldn’t help but sigh: “Oda Saku is the same, and you are too. Is it popular among mafias now to do good deeds?”

"Only Odasaku." Tsukimi Rihongying said lightly, "If it wasn't for Odasaku, I wouldn't have done this."

The restaurant owner asked casually: "Do you owe him a favor?"

Yuejian Li Hongying shook her head: "No."

Thinking about it carefully, Oda Sakunosuke didn't do anything worthy of his reward, but just took care of him in some small things.

Different from the kindness that Yong Lixu had treated him in the past, it was closer to the feeling that Xia Youjie gave him. He could feel the pure kindness, the warmth like a spring breeze.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether he owes favors or not, he just wants to try to respond to kindness instead of choosing to remain silent.

"You can come to me if you have other matters, please." Tsukimi Ri Hongying glanced in the direction of the stairs, then turned and left.

Looking at the back of the dark blue-haired boy leaving, the restaurant owner sighed helplessly, and muttered in a low voice: "It should be me who said "troublesome"...there are so many weirdos in Mafia in Hong Kong...kou. "
