Chapter Three

"My lord! This is a freshly harvested persimmon. It's very sweet. Would you like to try it?"

"My lord! Xiao Hua has grown up a lot, and just drove us around the Honmaru, why don't you come and play with me~"

"Really, you put the clothes on the floor just now, right?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Song Xian..."

"Mr. Jian—! Ah, my lord, have you seen Mr. Jian?"

"..."

Sitting on the swing in the courtyard with her chin in her hands, the flower vines led her to swing. The girl couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw the noisy scene in front of her.

"Hequan is staying in the hot spring, you tell him, don't take the peach petals with you, they are all wrinkled! Also, you guys, help Gexian re-wash and dry the clothes. In addition, I don't I like riding horses—" She responded one by one, and finally looked at Ranto Shiro, who was holding a persimmon and tilting his head at her with a cute smile, "Bring it here."

"Yoxi~" The cute short knife with a smile so bright that it dimmed the sun happily jumped and ran over, and presented the ripe-looking persimmon in front of her with both hands as if offering treasures.

Taking the persimmon, Tao held it up to her eyes and said, "Are you in charge of Hata Dangfan today?"

"Yes~" Fu Sangshen, who was like a girl, came to her side and coquettishly said in a sweet voice, "Look, my hands are about to blister~ I'm so tired~"

Tao looked away from the persimmons and turned to look at the messy hands. It seemed that there were no blisters or scars on the white and slender palms, but they were a little dirty from doing farm work. She stretched out her hand and poked the short knife palm, and immediately retracted his hand when he saw the chaos.

"It's so itchy~" He curled up his hand that was poked in the palm, and muttered and complained, "My lord didn't even praise him~"

Tao looked at him speechlessly, then stood up, reached out and pressed his head on his head.

When Dagger opened his eyes in surprise and made a sound of "Hey", the hand that was pressing on his head had rubbed it not very gently several times, and he messed up his long hair neatly tied with a ribbon.

"Ah, my lord is really..." Ranto Shiro hurriedly dodged from under her hand, protecting his hair angrily, "If you touch your head, please be gentle—"

After dismissing the chaos, the girl who finally calmed down sat back on the swing, tapped the ground with her toes, and swayed back and forth with the swaying flower vines.

Although it is said that I have not been injured because of doing farm work, my messy hands have a thick layer of calluses due to the relationship between holding a knife and hand-clasping.

These guys are indeed working hard.

……

I haven't seen my lord running outside for a week. Although I'm happy to see her every day, it's a bit strange with my lord's character.

Before everyone left after dinner, the Lion King couldn't help raising his hand to ask this question first.

"Oh, that," Tao pouted sullenly, "It's the rainy season in this world, it's always raining, it's so annoying."

"Eh? So the lord doesn't like rain, either?" Yamato Mamoru said with a smile, "I thought the lord just hated the summer sun."

"Compared to the sun, I really don't like rainy weather..." Tao looked listless, "It feels like the roots of the tree are going to be moldy and rot—"

Song Xian, who was helping to clean up the dishes, sighed as if she had realized something, "It's also a kind of elegance to feel the changes of the seasons. It seems that the Lord doesn't appreciate it..."

The girl didn't want to look at the new swordsman, anyway, she wasn't interested in such elegant things.

Although the Daoist who loves Fengya showed some satisfaction when he learned that his master was a peach blossom demon at the beginning of his awakening, but during the past few months of getting along, he also understood that Fengya's master probably It's also limited to her cute appearance.

But speaking of changing seasons...

"Yes, do you have any favorite seasons?" She suddenly sat up straight and asked with her arms crossed, "I just discovered recently that the seasons in this pill can be changed by adjusting the spiritual power of the god judge... No wonder it’s always spring here.”

"Oh? Can even the seasons be changed? Not bad!" Izumi Mori Kanesada grinned, not noticing Horikawa beside him trying to pull him, "I like summer~"

"Ah, for me, I like autumn better~" The Lion King scratched his head.

"Hmm... It's pretty elegant to enjoy plum blossoms in the winter snow~" Kasen Kanesada expressed his opinion while stacking the plates together.

And the rest of the swords hesitated and didn't speak.

The few newcomers looked at the usually active guy in doubt, and realized that they seemed to have overlooked something.

The change of seasons in the Honmaru, the swords that existed in the Honmaru have long been aware of it, and the main reason why they have not mentioned it is——

"Master," California Qingguang propped his cheek with one hand, the red nail polish set off his fair skin and his almost same-colored eyes are very bright and beautiful, "If it becomes autumn and winter, will the peach blossoms continue to bloom? ?”

"Huh?" Tao was stunned for a moment, her water-red eyes flashed with confusion, she frowned slightly, and said in an uncertain tone, "Probably... yes?"

Seeing the completely unconvincing expression on his protagonist's face, California Qingguang sighed weakly, and said in a drawn-out tone, "So-so-say-la-"

"Don't try this kind of uncertain thing, I want to see the lovely peach blossoms on the tree all the time~"

"Me too!" Jin Jian raised his hand high and said with a smile, "I want to see Lord Master all the time~"

……

After the rainy season finally passed, the feeling of clear sky and clear air lifted people's spirits. Because they were worried about the condition of their lord, they mustered up the courage to ask Tao to take the five tigers who came out with him to retreat, and stood in the small Under the tree in the courtyard, looking up at the still luxuriant tree, he finally showed a relieved expression.

"How, I promised you that I will take good care of it for you, right?"

The black-haired young man stood aside and smiled softly.

"Mmm, um! Thank you!" The little boy turned around and thanked happily. Tears filled his honey-colored eyes with joy and gratitude. He rubbed his eyes and smiled contentedly.

The young man's expression became softer, he reached out and patted the little boy's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Go inside, Yingzi said that today she will bring her younger siblings to play with Tui."

"Huh?" Shrinking his shoulders subconsciously, the shy little boy showed a bit of shyness on his face, "With, with me?"

"Haha, don't worry, it's about the same age as Tui... Well, it looks like a child of the same age," Yuyue explained understandingly, "Although he is naughty, he is also a very good child."

"Yeah! I'll get along well with them!" Wu Hutui nodded vigorously.

When the two returned to the house, the visiting gifts made by the candlesticks they brought were all eaten up by the peaches again, but the paintings of Kasen Kanesada were placed aside. According to Giotto, they planned to put the painting The picture is framed and hung in the living room.

"Huh, huh? Where's the little tiger?" After looking around for a while without seeing his own little tigers, Wu Tui looked at his lord suspiciously.

The girl who was taking the handkerchief from Giotto and wiping her mouth naturally raised her eyebrows, stretched her finger to one side, "I ran over there."

"Hey! There's..." Wuhu Tui's eyes widened in an instant, he was at a loss, and his face was a little flustered, "Ah, Mr. Arnold's room? Xiaohu and the others..."

"It's okay." Giotto comforted him, he smiled, his light golden eyes were sincere and clear, revealing a reliability that made people involuntarily believe in dependence, "Arnold should like your little tiger very much."

"Huh? Are you serious, Giotto?!" Nucker seemed to be in disbelief and raised his voice, which was not low at all, "That guy Arnold actually has something he likes? It's absolutely unbelievable! "

The little boy, who was a little nervous about what they said, leaned anxiously beside his mistress, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes, as if he could gain a great sense of security by doing so.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the gate, some were broken, and some were running happily.

"Taro, don't run around, this is Mr. Sawada's house, don't be presumptuous~" Yingzi's earnest advice came faintly, followed by the little boy's energetic laughter and a perfunctory reply of "Hi~".

"Here we are." Giotto curled his lips and stood up.

Tao held her chin and swept over without interest. Sure enough, after a while, G came in with Yingzi, followed by two boys and girls who looked about the same age as Wu Hutui.

"Long time no see~" Yingzi smiled at them softly. She walked up, bent down slightly, and handed over the small paper bag in her arms. Want to try it?"

Tao, who was not very interested at first, smelled a sweet smell, she leaned over to sniff it like a kitten, and then reached out to take it, "What is this?"

"Jin Ping Tang! It's very sweet~" The boy ran over with a smile showing his small canine teeth. He seemed to be very curious. He tilted his head to look at Tao and then at the one who shrank behind Tao under his gaze. The five tigers retreated, "Usually my sister would not be willing to buy food for us, but now I will share it with you~"

"Jinping Tang?" Tao took out a piece of candy that looked like a little star and put it in front of his eyes, muttering, "I feel like I heard it somewhere..."

"Master, lord..." Wuhu Tui reminded weakly, "It's Mr. Yamatomori. Mr. Yamatomori often said that Okita-kun likes to eat Jinpingtang the most..."

"Ah, yes!" Tao suddenly realized, and then stuffed the candy in Wu Hutui's mouth, and took another one and threw it into his mouth.

The sweet taste immediately filled the mouth, and the monster girl who had never eaten such a thing as candy opened her eyes wide as if it was a novelty, but there was a joy in her brows and eyes, "It's very sweet."

"It's delicious~" The little boy put his hands behind his head and said with a smile, "Dawu also said it was delicious when he ate it for the first time. You must have never tasted this kind of candy before~"
