I paid too much for Feiwuluo

Alice, who is very sleepy, doesn't seem to have a biological clock. She has to wait for Anna to wake her up every day when she wakes up.

But today is a little different.After being shaken awake, Alice habitually shrank into the quilt, and after a while, she slowly emerged from the warm quilt.

The howling cold wind slapped on the window, shaking the glass to tremble one after another.Alice sat on the bed with her eyes closed, and she might fall down at any time.But she resisted the temptation to get under the quilt and didn't shrink back.

After a while, she heard the man standing by the bed say, "Good morning, Liz," and stroke her head.

Huh?Anna's voice seemed to be a little different.

Alice, who was sleepy and staring, finally opened her eyes.She blinked her eyes, looked at the person standing by the bed, and woke up after a while.

"Izumo!" She ran to the bedside and hugged Kusanagi Izumo, who hadn't seen him for a day, "Welcome back! I miss you so much!!"

The Shinkansen service has been suspended after work yesterday. Izumo Kusanagi originally bought a ticket for the last return trip, but had to reschedule until the next day.

Early this morning, he rushed back to Barbara in the snow, and did half an hour of psychological training downstairs. During this time, he kept telling himself not to soften his heart. This time, the problem is so serious that he must keep his face so that Alice knows the meaning of the fight. Hazardous.

Of course there is nothing wrong with self-defense, but in the latter part of the surveillance video, the fight between her and the boy seems to have broken away from the scope of self-defense. It is more like beating someone because she wants to.

However, his hard-earned mental construction first collapsed when he saw the traces of iodophor on the little girl's face, and then when this little guy in koala pajamas jumped towards him and shouted, I miss you so much It fell apart in an instant.

She's as cute as if someone punched her in the heart.Kusanagi Izumo hugged Alice and sat down next to the edge of the bed.She jumped up and down excitedly, and then stepped on Kusanagi's knee and bounced slightly.

Fortunately, Alice was only as light as a sack of rice, Kusanagi Izumo let her torment without any burden, and soon waited for her to calm down.

Before going upstairs, Kusanagi Izumo had prepared a draft.In his vision, it would be best if Alice could quiet herself down and find him more serious than usual.

Now that she has achieved the first step, all he needs to do next is to put on a straight face, and then——

"Gollum—"

Alice lowered her head and touched her belly. The koala's one-piece pajamas were fluffy and comfortable to the touch.

"Hungry!" she yelled crisply.

Kusanagi Izumo: "..."

No matter how hard it is, don't suffer children.Let's talk after breakfast.

After washing, Alice was carried downstairs by Kusanagi.Then she was surprised to find that Zhou Fangzun had already woken up!

The sun is coming out of the west!

Alice shook her leg.Today's breakfast was fruit salad, and she moved the sour blueberries and tasteless lettuce and avocado to the side of the bowl, and picked the fruit with the most salad dressing to eat.

"Eat them all." Kusanagi picked up another fork and forked a piece of avocado, stuffing it into her mouth, "Don't be picky eaters."

If you want to say that the model child Alice has any shortcomings, besides being unable to wake up after getting on the pillow, another problem is that she eats really slowly.

It took four to 10 minutes to finish a bowl of fruit salad.

If this speed waits until after class, wouldn't it be necessary to wake her up for breakfast four or ten minutes earlier every day?

Kusanagi, who was combing Alice's hair, decided to gradually increase the wake-up time from tomorrow.

Alice burped softly as she wiped out a bowl of fruit.Kusanagi Izumo helped her spray the wound in her mouth—the wound on her face had formed a thin crimson scab after a night of sleep.

As the saying goes, when you have enough to eat and drink, it is time to go on the road.

Kusanagi Izumo stood at the bar counter like a judge.Alice sat outside the bar, as if accused.

Anna Shishu and Zhou Fangzun were crowded on the sofa, so they could only be the audience in the auditorium.

"Liz." Kusanagi Izumo rarely lowered his face, and said with a serious expression, "Why do you want to fight with others?"

It's time to come.

Alice shrank her neck and faltered in a low voice: "They want to hit me...can't I hit them?"

Laughter came from the gallery.You don't need to look to know, it must be Zhou Fangzun who is smiling.Beat up all the guys who come to the door to find trouble. This is the code of conduct that the Red King practiced in middle school.

That's why he didn't even say a single serious word after Alice finished beating someone - if she was bullying the weak, that would be a different matter, but what if he just beat up the boy who bullied him?

"Fight well, it's even better if you win—King must be thinking about this right now." Ten beams on the side whispered to Anna.

Kusanagi Izumo looked at him helplessly: "Your respect."

Zhou Fangzun shrugged.

"It's not a question of whether you can fight." Kusanagi Izumo sighed, "It's that resorting to violence is not the best way to solve problems in many cases. Of course the children who beat you are wrong, but you rushed over You don’t feel sorry for yourself when you come back with injuries all over your body from fighting with others, but I still feel sorry for you—have you considered my feelings? Have you? Huh?”

As Kusanagi said, he hugged Alice and shook her: "Did you ever think 'Izumo will be sad to see me like this' when you were pulling hair with others? You didn't, you just thought about hurrying Take it out on yourself and Duo Duoliang, and never thought of coming back to sue me, and let me teach those bad kids a lesson."

Alice was silent for a while: "... woo woo..."

OKThis means to understand a mistake and start to reflect on it.

"So next time you encounter something like this, do you know what to do?" Izumo Kusanagi asked while the iron was hot.

"Don't fight... come back and find Yun..."

"Well, then you can go to the police uncle."

"Okay..." Alice sniffed.

Then she remembered something, and while crying, she asked, "If Izumo isn't here, can I go to Misaki?"

She won't find Zhou Fangzun.Ten Beam was also beaten to protect herself, so weak, she didn't look for it.Anna couldn't do it anymore.

So now the barking Rory, the only person Alice knows is Misaki Hatta.

"Don't look for Hatta either." Kusanagi vetoed her proposal without thinking, after all, he was also a 17-year-old teenager who was prone to passion.

If Fushimi was here at this time, things would be much easier to handle.Kusanagi Izumo sighed, and decided to carry out some pleasant parent-child activities - such as sitting on the sofa and reading picture books to the children.

Alice was in Kusanagi's arms, and Anna also leaned over, with her white head resting on Kusanagi's arm.

The name of the picture book is "You Look Delicious", and on the cover there are two dinosaurs that are not scary at all.

Occasionally, Alice could not understand Kusanagi's Kyoto accent, but whenever she came to a place where the pronunciation of the two regions was too different, Kusanagi would stop and smoothly switch to a Tokyo accent to read the story again.

Zhou Fangzun, who didn't want to listen to childish stories, went back upstairs to sleep, and the free-spirited Shishu was not someone who could sit in one place for a long time, so he left after listening to the beginning.

Alice laughed twice at this.For her, probably driving the Scarlet King from her territory is also a memorable feat.

"It's delicious, you are already an indomitable triceratops, you have to learn to be yourself..."

"Izumo."

"What's wrong? Anna."

"Liz," Anna said softly, and poked Alice's cheek with her hand, "Fall asleep."

"Ah..." Kusanagi looked down into his arms, "Anna, you picked up a piglet and came back."

"Misaki said Liz was like a puppy."

"Then what does Anna think Liz looks like?" Kusanagi turned Alice over and let her lean on his shoulder.

"Liz is Liz." Anna poked Alice's squeezed cheek again. Alice didn't wake up, she smacked her mouth twice, turned her head, and fell into a deeper sleep.

"Liz is Liz." Anna looked at Kusanagi and said it again, as if emphasizing something with him.

Kusanagi was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly understood what she wanted to express.

Not pigs or puppies, but ordinary children.She can be nice, but she can make mistakes and get into trouble.

"You're right." Kusanagi Izumo patted Alice on the back, heard her humming twice, and smiled.

"—but still kind of like a little pig?"

The last day of the year, the day before the new year.

It was rare for Alice to wake up naturally.After washing, she changed into the down jacket placed beside the bed, got out of bed and went downstairs with her disheveled head, but no one saw her.

"Izumo?"

"Anna?"

"Dodora?"

She looked behind the bar, in the kitchen, and in their respective rooms.Still no one saw it.

"Where did it all go..." Alice sat down on the stairs on the first and second floors, and then remembered that she still had a room that she hadn't been to.

Zhou Fangzun's door was not locked, and Alice was startled by the sound when the door was unlocked.

The room was dark, with only a little light coming in through the gap between the blackout curtain and the window.

After her eyes adjusted for a while, Alice could slowly see the outlines of certain things in the room.

Such as a bed, such as the Red King sleeping on the bed.

Alice quietly groped to the bedside of the Red King, she stretched out her hand, but before she touched it, Zhou Fangzun suddenly opened his eyes.

His golden eyes were like dying flames in this dimly lit environment.

After seeing that the person who came was a harmless little guy, the tense string quickly relaxed.

Zhou Fangzun raised his hand to cover his forehead, took a deep breath: "What are you doing?"

"Izumo isn't here. Neither are Anna and Tatara."

That's why I was forced to come to you—that's what she meant.

Zhou Fangzun was silent for a while.He obviously remembered something, sighed in the dark, turned over and sat up.

He went to the window and drew the curtains, letting the sun flood in.Only then did Alice realize that the snow that had lasted for a long time had stopped outside, and today's sunshine was as warm as a gift from God.

However, Zhou Fangzun didn't even take a second look at this kind of gift.

He turned straight and walked into the bathroom, and Alice followed immediately, staring at him squeezing toothpaste and brushing his teeth, and then became curious and eager when Zhou Fangzun opened the locker behind the mirror and took out a blue plastic bottle.

"What's this?" Alice asked, pointing to the plastic bottle in his hand.

"Mouthwash." The third king looked at the curious young human expressionlessly, "...Would you like a drink?"

Alice nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you first."

"Thank you!"

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

Children are really bottomless creatures.

Alice got her wish and drank the mouthwash.

It's like ice cream! ! !The little girl was so pleasantly surprised as if she had discovered a new continent.

She took the peppermint-flavored liquid that seemed to be fighting on her tongue in her mouth, and then made a "gudong".

swallowed.

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

Forgot to tell her not to drink... Forget it, one sip will be fine anyway.

Today's breakfast is porridge, which should have been prepared before Kusanagi went out.Alice followed Zhou Fangzun into the kitchen, and then witnessed the Red King taking out the inner liner that was still insulated from the electric pressure cooker with his bare hands.She was very shocked, and even developed a trace of respect for Zhou Fangzun.

But there is only a trace, not much thicker than a strand of hair.

Alice drank porridge, which consisted of fish fillets and chopped greens.

Zhou Fangzun took a French stick and gnawed it without even asking for water.

It didn't take long for him to find Alice staring at him again—to be precise, she was staring at the baguette in his hand.

"Want to eat?" He shook the loaf of bread in his hand.

Alice nodded again, even comprehending: "Thank you!"

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

He tore off a section from the other end of the baguette and handed it over.

Baguettes that have been cooled overnight are notoriously strong.Alice, who had little life experience, immediately opened her mouth and took a bite after taking it, and then found that no matter how much she pulled the bread, it still didn't budge.

So angry!

The force of the tearing became a little stronger, and even Zhou Fangzun couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw the grinning appearance.

Then, what he was worried about really happened—Alice finally tore off a small piece of the baguette, and won a staged victory after a long struggle. As a result, she herself fell back from the high stool due to excessive force, and fell to the ground. down.

Thanks to the Red King's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he brought her back.

If you hit the ground on the back of your head from a height of more than half a meter, even if you don't fall wrong, you will definitely be a stupid child in the new year.

Zhou Fangzun picked up Alice's porridge bowl solemnly, hugged Alice off the stool, and finally moved them to the edge of the sofa.

"Sit here and eat." He sat down on the sofa opposite Alice and continued to nibble on the baguette.After being placed on the sofa, Alice kept her head down.

If you don't eat the porridge, it will be cold, and Zhou Fangzun will help her to heat it up.He frowned: "What's wrong?"

Alice raised her head silently.She pursed her mouth, and tears glistened in her royal blue eyes: "The teeth are loose..."

Zhou Fangzun: "..."

Alice finished a bowl of porridge with tears in her eyes.

I don't know if it was because his front teeth almost fell out, but Zhou Fangzun didn't push her off the sofa today, and even took the initiative to turn on the TV for her to watch.

When the anime started playing ed, Kusanagi Izumo came back.Along with his voice outside the door was the sound of a truck engine.

"Just help move these things to the lobby."

Alice heard the sound and ran to the door, just in time to bump into the barking dance head Luo Er who pushed the door and entered.

"Good morning, little lady. Have you had your breakfast?"

Kusanagi knelt down and picked her up, and Alice kissed his cheek so intimately: "Eat!"

"That's good." Kusanagi smiled at her, and then looked outside the door, "This door is made of mahogany, please be careful not to bump into it."

Alice heard that someone should be.She turned her head and looked behind, and found that several porters were carrying something into the Barbara.

"Izumo, what is that?"

"Those are the things we're going to sell tomorrow." Kusanagi explained to her.

"'Out of the stall'?"

"It means setting up a stall to do business."

"Does Izumo want to go out and make money?" Alice, who was sitting in his arms, kicked her legs.

"No, what we have to do tomorrow is to trade at a loss."

Alice didn't understand, but she looked outside again, but she didn't see the figures of Shishu Tatara and Anna.

"Tatara is stealing a teacher, and Anna is accompanying him—it will be a little unclear for a while, but you will know the specifics tomorrow."

Alice gave a soft "Oh", lying in Kusanagi's arms, showing him her loose front teeth, and telling him that she drank Zhou Fangzun's mouthwash.After listening to Kusanagi's smile, he stared at Zhou Fangzun vigorously, and the Red King, who was a bit embarrassed by face, turned his head: "She wants to eat it herself..."

Tatara and Anna came back before dinner.

Badian ran to Barbara to show his face, and left quickly because he wanted to go home to take care of his younger siblings.

Alice asked Anna what she was going to do, but Anna didn't answer her directly.

So in this mysterious atmosphere, Zhou Fang Alice ushered in her first New Year in Barbara.

It was still dark outside when she was woken up—although it was late in winter, Alice was sure that it must be very early now, because she didn't wake up, because she didn't get enough sleep to want to lose her temper.

But today it was Kusanagi Izumo who came to wake her up.Alice could only hum and chirp while crawling out of the bed.

Kusanagi said that he would launch a stall, and he really did.

On the first day of the new year, next to the shrine with the most traffic in Zhenme Town, he set up a shed here, with a huge wooden sign next to it.

【Free red bean soup】

And on the long table in the booth, the five large letters of [HOMRA] are printed on the hanging tablecloth.

Today's Barbara does not sell alcohol, but distributes all kinds of warm red bean soup for free.

Ten bunches of Tatara, who ran out yesterday to steal the skills, kept rubbing white jade balls made of glutinous rice in the shed, while Anna ran around to help carry things.

Zhou Fangzun was also tied with an apron by Ten Beans, because the stove was too difficult to move, and they could only rely on the firepower of the Red King to keep the red bean soup warm.

As for Alice, she was wrapped into a ball by Kusanagi, and stood with him outside the shed to serve hot sweet soup to the passing people who had just finished their first New Year's visit.

At first, no one came here, probably because they saw the words of Barbara and retreated.

But apart from some people who have a big prejudice against Barbara, there are also some people who don't care about the scarlet monster and urban legends.

The group of small gangsters who are not in the climate are not extreme, and if they have problems, they will be banned by the police long ago.And setting up a stall here, with so many people watching, could it be poisoned? ——There are also many young people who are often connected to the Internet with such a mentality, approaching this charity booth in the winter, and personally verifying the fact that the soup is non-toxic to others.

So people gathered more and more.

Why do you do this kind of thing...

Alice sniffed in the cold wind, and she was a little runny from the wind.

And her confusion was not solved until the boys who fought with her appeared that day.

"Sweet soup is being given out for free over there!" Boy A who pushed her to the ground and let the small stone scratch his cheek pointed to this side.

"How old are you and you still like to eat sweets! You're so ugly!" Boy B who pulled her hair laughed.

"I want to eat too." Boy C who hit her with a snowball raised his hand.

"Then go! You don't need money anyway!" said the boy D who had fought hardest with Alice, but was also beaten the hardest by Alice.

When they got to the shed, they realized that Alice was standing there too.

"Wow! It's the kid from that day!" Boy A stared straight at his eyes, "Jiro, you were beaten badly that day!"

"Shut up! You don't know how powerful her nails are! It hurts to catch someone!" Boy D's face turned red from anger or embarrassment, "Go back!"

"Eh...but I want to drink..."

"I want, too……"

"You two are a little promising, can't you! This kind of thing is sold everywhere!"

"But I'm so cold."

"Everyone wakes up so early because Jiro, you must be the first person to visit the shrine."

"Yeah. Jiro, you have to go to the shrine first with Fuguro Megumi, and you are afraid of the dark and dare not go out early in the morning. We were all dragged together by you."

"Shut up! Wouldn't you all be upset if you were overwhelmed by that guy Fu Heihui?"

"No. You are the only one who is unhappy with him, Jiro."

"Fu Hei fights so well...ah, I want to drink red bean soup..."

"But we bullied that little girl before... Will her father refuse to give it to us..."

The brawling brats finally turned their attention back to the little bean soup beside them.

"I think so."

"I feel so too……"

"Speaking of which, it was Jiro's idea to bully her."

"That's right, Jiro also said that bullying her is [Jungle]'s task. By the way, isn't [Jungle] an online game?"

"But the 'Crimson Monster' is scary too. My mom says they're all bad and bad."

"But they're sharing red bean soup... would a bad guy do something like this..."

"I said, isn't that redhead cooking in the shed the 'Red Monster'?"

"Looks like it??? Woohoo! He's actually wearing an apron! How disgusting!"

"Hahahahaha! How scary is this guy!"

Alice listened quietly to their discussion, which was depressed and cheerful for a while. After a while, the boys thought of an idea—they decided to cover their faces with masks, and then ran over to ask for sweet soup.

accurate.

Alice curled her lips, but Izumo told her that no matter who came, they should give them the sweet soup.

However, when people came in front of them, Alice still couldn't hold back her emotions, and pointed at the boys with a wrinkled face and shouted, "It's you!"

The adults around all looked at Alice who made the sound, and the boys who were slightly older than her pointed by her little finger.

If he said something like "you beat me together" at this time, these little boys would undoubtedly lose their dignity for a short time by this accusation in the next ten seconds.

Alice really wanted to say that.

But Kusanagi picked her up and asked, "Liz, is this your friend?"

"That's not it!" Alice glared at them.

Several little boys were stiff, and they could feel the scrutiny of their surroundings.

"So there are conflicts between you?" Kusanagi asked again, "Is there anything that you need to remember and hate them for the rest of your life?"

That, that wouldn't be...

Alice thought for a while, and felt that there was no need to share her precious memory with these guys.

So she shook her head.

Then Kusanagi turned to look at the four boys standing outside the shed: "What about you? Want to hold grudges against a little girl for the rest of your life?"

Being beaten four times by a little girl, they are even more embarrassing no matter what they say, maybe they will hear someone scold them on the first day of the new year, "bullying a girl younger than themselves is really useless".

And the other party behaved more generously than them...

If the dead duck insists that they want to hold grudges, and they will hold grudges for a lifetime, wouldn't it appear that they are stingy? !

"Then can you shake hands and make up?" Kusanagi asked again, "Just a light shake will be fine."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, this kind of request for reconciliation, which is not excessive at all, is impossible not to do it-of course it is okay to run away, but the meaning of running away like that is too strong.

The little boy's face supported them to shake hands with Alice.

Kusanagi took the picture without saying a word, until the camera shutter sounded, the boy D jumped up and asked him what he was doing.

"Record."

Kusanagi Izumo said innocently.

"This is the first time Alice and I have made friends."

"If you don't want to be treated as a friend of the little monster and be bullied together." He said with a smile, "I would like to ask you to help clarify the misunderstanding."

"Is she a little monster? Those of you who have shaken hands with her should know it best?"

"Ah, I still have the video by the way. Do you want to watch it?"
