[Comprehensive] The charm value is full

The place where the Barbara lives now is an old house, located on the edge of the urban area, inside a group of buildings.The roads are crooked and hard to remember, stealthy and perfect for hiding your tracks.

The house has been around for some years, and most of the outer skin has peeled off, full of mottled marks, which is no different from the surrounding buildings, but the interior is very delicately furnished.Similar to the structure of the Barbara, there is a small bar directly opposite the door, with all kinds of drinks on the cabinet, glasses upside down on the table, and a few small sofas beside it, just like a miniature version Barbara bar.

"It wasn't like this at first, but those guys insisted that they couldn't stay any longer, so they could only decorate the place a little bit." Kusanagi Izumo complained, biting a cigarette, "The trouble is dead, they think they are teenagers and their mothers are awkward Is it a child?"

Although he was not happy on the surface, Kusanagi Izumo habitually walked to the bar, mixed two drinks for Hongye and Anna, and sat on the other side, crossing his legs and smoking a cigarette.

Not long ago, the man who had just gone violently and smashed the alloy umbrella handle with his bare hands returned to his polite appearance. Before lighting the fire, he apologized to the two girls present and sat at the farthest place.

At any rate, he learned something about the ten-year rocket launcher from Tsunayoshi Sawada, and also learned that the girl who thought it was a hallucination was actually the 15-year-old Suho Momiji who broke in by mistake.

The girl with red hair looks cute and innocent, not much different from the former Hongye. The emotions in her heart are clearly expressed on her face, which makes people see through at a glance.

Kusanagi Izumo sighed slightly and exhaled a beautiful smoke ring.

Because the curtains were drawn, the room looked a little dark, and the chandelier was turned on early.The drink placed in front of the red leaves has a lustrous and attractive color under the light, gradually precipitates, and accumulates thickly at the bottom of the glass.

It is indeed very happy to be in a familiar atmosphere, but when thinking that many of her companions—including her brother—are no longer to be seen, Momiji feels sad again.At this rare moment of reunion, Hongye didn't want to convey her emotions to them, so she cheered up and said something.

Most of the responders were Kusanagi Izumo, and Kusanagi Anna maintained the reticence of ten years ago, sitting opposite Hongye, staring at her face intently, making her feel a little embarrassed.

Ten years later, the girl was born extremely beautiful, with long silver-white hair hanging down her back, eyes like jewels, and her sitting posture was dignified and picturesque.Kushina Annashu held the glass in both hands, but didn't drink, but just looked at the red leaves quietly.

People like Kusanagi Zongxiang who are already much older than Hongye are okay, but a little girl like Anna, who has become a girl who is older than herself, gives Hongye a particularly strong feeling.

In order to avoid her overly strong gaze, Hongye looked around, but except for the two people in front of her, there was no sign of anyone else.

"Ah, they are all outside." Kusanagi Izumo glanced at his watch, "It's almost time, and they will be back soon."

"That's great, I want to see everyone too." Hongye said with a smile, stirring the drink with a straw, so that the distinct colors mixed together.

After saying this sentence, there was a subtle silence.

Momiji lowered her eyes, looked at the liquid that had become cloudy in color, lowered her head and bit the straw.

After sucking it lightly, the liquid inside surged up along the plastic tube, but before Momiji drank it into her mouth, Anna Kushina leaned forward, and her thin white fingers precisely pinched the straw that Momiji was holding in her mouth.

"Anna sauce?"

Momiji looked at her blankly, opened her mouth unconsciously, and Anna Kushina immediately pushed the glass away, and gave her the glass of orange juice that she hadn't touched.

The light silver eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the delicate and beautiful girl like a doll said, "You can't drink this."

"Hongye is still underage, you can't drink alcohol, Izumo did something wrong."

"Ah...really, I accidentally slipped by."

Hongye blinked, and sighed after a while: "Anna sauce looks like an adult now, quite like the head of the family."

Kusanagi Izumo came over to get the wrongly adjusted drink, and couldn't help laughing upon hearing this.

"Anna-chan is indeed an adult now, three years older than Hongye-chan." The man casually touched Hongye's head, "Now Anna-chan has become a big sister, I'm very happy."

Anna Kushina sat on the chair, her clear eyes flashed, and her fair cheeks were also stained with a thin layer of red, adding a bit of vitality to the lifeless face.She felt a little embarrassed by this address, twisted her skirt with her hands, and whispered: "Stop talking, idiot Izumo."

"Yes, yes, I am an idiot, and the little princess is right." Izumo Kusanagi shrugged and complained half-truthfully, "Anna-chan has become very strict now, and she has taken on the responsibility of being a housekeeper. Well, they are controlling us every day.”

"Your job has been taken away, Mama Kusanagi."

"Well~ yes, after all, I'm old too, the world still has to be handed over to young people."

"Izumo."

Kusanagi Izumo raised his hands: "I made a mistake, Your Highness Princess!"

Just now, there was an atmosphere of awkwardness, but in these few words of dialogue, it quickly disappeared into nothingness.

Hongye subconsciously drank Anna's cup of drink, and finally found a sense of familiarity, and the originally unconsciously tense mood became relaxed.

The perception-type ability conveyed this change to Kushina Anna in detail.

The silver-haired girl let out a sigh of relief, showing a subtle smile.

"I miss you too, Hongye."

Anna Kushina spoke slowly, her eyes were gentle.

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

After a while, Toshio Kamamoto and the others came back one after another. In summer, Toshio Kamamoto turned into a slender handsome guy again, with slightly long blond hair hanging down to his shoulders. His complexion was dark but he looked very healthy and mature. and steady.

Except for the way he fusses when he sees the red leaves, everything else is perfect.

Kusanagi Izumo explained to them the setting of the ten-year shuttle again. A group of men who were about to reach their thirties gathered around Hongye, pinched her cheeks, stroked her hair, and lamented her in a hurry. young.

Even after ten years, this group of people is still the same as before.

Facing the faces that have matured a lot, even Hongye, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she was treated as an ornamental creature.In the end, Anna Kushina couldn't stand it anymore, took Momiji's hand, and dragged her out of the crowd.

"You guys, three meters away."

Her Royal Highness's voice was soft and soft, and following her order, a group of elders retreated two steps in unison.

Riko Kamamoto scratched his head, begging for mercy from Hongye, "Sorry, we scared you."

"...It's okay." Hongye looked at them one by one, finally pursed her lips, and smiled.

There were a few crisp applause from the side and rear, and Kusanagi Izumo put his hands together and announced: "Since everyone is here, follow the tradition of Barbara—"

In the middle of speaking, he deliberately paused, creating a feeling of tantalizing, and winked at Hongye.

"Let's have a celebration! Today, Mr. Courier Shenming delivered the ingredients, and we will have hot pot tonight!"

"Oh!"

Although the cheers were loud, it could be clearly heard that there were only a few people, and Hongye's gaze passed over their faces one by one, exactly the same as the number in the photo.

Ever since she met Kusanagi Izumo and Kushina Anna, neither of them mentioned to her what happened to Barbara in the past ten years, nor did it involve death and separation, but made a cognition with Hongye. There is little difference between them, and they look happy.

It was as if nothing had happened, and Barbara had not moved from the bar to this narrow and remote house, everything was as it was.

Hongye has thousands of words in her heart, but she can't muster up the courage to break this peaceful and lively scene under the enthusiasm.

All fear comes from caring, and all retreat comes from it.

In the evening, the hot pot banquet was carried out smoothly. The steam of the boiling water smoked everyone's eyebrows and eyes. Everyone just gathered around a table and rinsed the chopped ingredients in it.

The dinner was very happy. After that, everyone sat on the small sofa and chatted around. Hongye quietly walked into the kitchen.

Izumo Kusanagi was wearing a white apron, standing by the sink washing dishes, his sunglasses were taken off and hung at the neckline, and the sleeves of his shirt were folded to his elbows.The faucet was turned on, and the water was rushing to rinse the bowls and chopsticks in the sink. The man's back was facing Hongye, with broad shoulders, and his back was different from Hongye's impression, stronger than ten years ago.

He was cleaning the dishes, and Hongye walked to the pool to help him.

"You don't need to be busy, it's fine for a man to do this kind of work, Hongye sauce can go outside and chat with everyone."

Hongye didn't listen to him, and still stood where she was, wiping all the dishes with a cloth.

Seeing this, Kusanagi Izumo's eyes flickered and he sighed.

"Don't worry, we are not living a bad life now, it's just that it's more troublesome when we go out." The man said lightly about the current situation of the barbarian, and then smiled and comforted Hongye, "And it has nothing to do with the blue clothes. No, the Blue King will help if there is any problem."

While talking, he changed the subject.

"However, Hongye-chan's matter of your coming, Munakata Reisi actually covered it up so tightly that no rumors came out. You are obviously an ally, so you have to complain to him when you come back."

"Sorry, Kusanagi." Hongye said in a low voice, "Ten years later, I...did I do a lot of bad things?"

"Is it because of me that Barbara became like this?"
