spooky love

"Meow, meow", Ryoichiro slammed the half-eaten omelet to it despite his displeasure.Mulberry leaf only ate monsters and spirits before, but recently even human food is not refused, and it quickly became a mess.

Qianzhi was the same as when she came, but Yuan's expression was visibly dimmed.After eating, Qianzhi said she wanted to wash the chopsticks and went down to the river. Dema found that there was no water in the water tank, so he followed Qianzhi to the river.

"Mr. De, did you arrange this flower viewing tour?"

By the small river, Qianzhi asked while washing the chopsticks.

"Yes."

"From the tone of that young master, it seems that he is interested in me, but he can't."

Chie's expression was unrestrained and unrestrained.Different from the original, she seems to have a calmness that can only be obtained after going through hardships in love and many storms.Chie, who was squatting by the river, whispered "Ah".

"Mr. De, look at that."

Dema looked closely along the shore where Qianzhi was pointing, and saw the red bamboo leaves hanging down to the water, moving inconceivably as if going against the current.At this moment, the red bamboo turned into the shape of a char, left the branch, jumped into the water and swam away.

He thought it was... a monster, so small that he didn't need to ask Sang Ye to eat it.Ryoichiro can attract big and small goblins, whether it's camellias or char, Chie may have a strong physique in this regard.

"Mr. Hara, that's not okay, the red bamboo will indeed turn into a char."

Qianzhi shook the red bamboo playfully, but only that one leaf turned into a char, and the rest were whirling and drifting down the river.

"I really want to have a good girl for Mr. Yuan to take care of."

Chie said quietly.

"It doesn't matter if it's not right now, I really want him to take care of the lovely girl, because he is very serious and will definitely become a good husband."

Then she inadvertently giggled.

"Speaking of which, even if Mr. Toku's husband grows up, he's still like a child. That's very troublesome."

"He is very gentle."

"You can tell by looking at it. He is fascinated by Mr. Tokuro from the bottom of his heart...By the way, have you tried the 'that' I taught you?"

Qianzhi asked in a low voice, while Dema lowered his head and fell into silence.

"Huh? Doesn't it work? I haven't seen a husband who hates 'that'."

"...he seems to like it."

De Ma replied, even the roots of his ears were red.Qianzhi smiled again, then looked up at the hazy sky.

"In the past, if the man I liked ran away and was slept by someone else, I would lose my temper like crazy, and kept crying to die. But I don't know if it's because of my old age. , Staying away from sexual affairs between men and women, it is no longer as fanatical as before.”

Chie whispered, "I really want to see Mr. Hara's child."

"I hated looking at other people's children before, but I want to see Mr. Hara's children. It seems that I have also been worn out, not as sharp as before."

Qianzhi sighed softly, blown away by the warm spring breeze.

After viewing the flowers, although Yuan became more reticent on the way back, he was not completely silent.Logically speaking, being rejected should be very frustrating, but I don't know if Chie was concerned, he tried his best to behave as usual.Although Ryoichiro and Tokuma were there, Yuan still took a long way to send Chie back to the front of the longhouse. Chie smiled and said "I am very happy today, thank you" and went into the house.

"Hara, come to our house."

Yuan was about to go back, but Ryoichiro kept him.

"I want to have a drink today, so you can accompany me."

Hara was dragged into the living room by Ryoichiro.Dema hurriedly ran to the kitchen. Although Ryoichiro would have a drink in the evening, he did it occasionally, and the amount was not much.As expected, the wine bottle was almost empty.Dema clenched his wallet tightly, told Ryoichiro quietly, "I'm going to buy wine," and went outside.

Ryoichiro and Hara seem to be planning to drink all night until dawn.When it comes to plants, the two have endless topics to talk about.Dema has a feeling: even if Ryoichiro and Hara persuade each other to drink and drink, and talk about flowers and plants, but don't ask anything about the important point, he is such a man.

Dema walked quickly on the dusty footpath in early spring, heading for the wine shop.

postscript

Hello everyone, my No.65 book in HollyNovels (Note 11) has a slightly changed atmosphere and is a story about botanists in the Meiji period.This book is a collection of stories published in magazines plus other specially written stories. It is not so much a botanist story as a monster story... Anyway, I think it is a line of enthusiasts in the specialized field .However, once I wanted to write down this route, I couldn't stop writing and wrote all the way.The prototype of Ryoichiro's character is a certain person. When I read the biography of this person, I also started to want to grow plants inexplicably, but I would die even if I planted a cactus. How can I take care of plants?So he gave up the idea.

As for this wonderful title, some people may ask: "What is this?" It was a tentative name at the beginning, but after using it, I got used to it and felt familiar, so it continued to be used in the Novels booklet.I think it's a very straightforward title in a sense (Note 66).

Mr. Yoda Saemi, who was in charge of the illustration, I am very happy to thank you for drawing illustrations with a beautiful atmosphere and intoxicating atmosphere.The other specially added stories were driven by my delusions with copies of the color illustrations in front of my eyes.The illustrations capture the characters of the two, and I feel happy when I see them, thank you very much.

The responsible editor who has been taking care of me all the way, this is already the No. 11 book~~ I think there will be many trivial matters in the future, and I ask for your advice.

The next HollyNovels is a vampire story that will be a series, and I would be very grateful if you were interested in buying it.Well, thank you all for reading this far.

Let's meet again in the next book.
