Chapter 20
Chapter 20
After making sure that the editor Hiramatsu had sent the two little guys home and bought them breakfast on the way, Uo, who had been sitting in the corner of his home staring at his phone for a long time, finally stood up slowly at this moment.
"Are you going to Brother Hui and sister Tsumiji's house?"
Today is Sunday, no need to go to school.
Chacha, who has been sticking to the adults all the time, and just learned that she is likely to be accompanied by older brothers and sisters, also immediately stood up, and she kept circling Uosheng like a passionate puppy wagging its tail and barking. , and even finally jumped up and hugged Mr. Curse Ling's waist tightly, rubbing his soft cheeks against the waist of the adult.
With her legs hanging in the air, she shouted with a drawn out voice, "Chacha is going too!"
Chacha is well received by her new family.
I want my parents, I want brothers and sisters... Chacha, who was raised alone in Tsurumi's house in the past, doesn't have the slightest repulsion towards [the new family], and even feels a little eager to wait.
of course.
It's not that just anyone can get Chacha's approval.
At least, the most basic and most important condition of Chacha's heart must be met.
That's [knowing the true identity of Dad, and absolutely not being afraid or hating him].
Her father is the most gentle father in the world.
Even the spell spirit is the best and the number one spell spirit in the world.
For the guy who hates her favorite father, Chacha will do her best to hate him.
Megumi and Tsumiji are obviously different.
Even though Uno had been sitting in a corner with a dejected face and drooping bone tail after he came back, as if he had been hit hard, but Mr. Cursing who came over after waking up with the emotional detection machine ·Chacha knows that the other party is not sad.
Rather, the complete opposite.
So after learning about the older brothers and sisters that the two fathers had been quietly helping in the past, the basic affection for the Fuhei siblings, which was originally established through the exchange of sticky notes, was now directly filled by Chacha in his heart.
"Now go and invite them to live with us. I can help pack the luggage, and introduce our family to Brother Hui and Sister Tsumiki. I can distribute my toys and story books to them..."
Chacha talked non-stop with great interest, and Uosu, who was still a little hesitant and withdrawn, let out a helpless breath.
"Wait until lunchtime... shall we go again?" Uosu placed his tail on Chacha's dangling feet, lifted the little guy hanging from his waist, and stroked the girl's soft long brown hair. Said.
"Together?" Chacha stepped on Mr. Curse Ling's tail, her hands were still tightly hugging the adult's waist, she opened her eyes wide, poked half of her head out from Uosheng's side, and asked as if confirming.
"Ah, let's go together."
.
Even if the disease is [killed], the body that has been worn down by the disease will not be directly restored to its optimal state.
Jin Meiji is still recovering from a serious illness and her immunity is not high. Moreover, after a high fever, her body is in the recovery period, and the functions of various digestive organs are still relatively weak. Things that add to the digestive burden.
Uso is flipping through the cookbook.
Chacha put on an apron for herself in a decent manner.
"I want to help too!" The little girl raised her hand high.
Mr. Manu Ling looked up at her, was stunned, overthinking, and asked Chacha to help wash the fruits and vegetables.
"Vegetables should be carefully washed in every corner, and please put them in the basket after washing."
"it is good!"
Chacha immediately moved a small bench and ran to the kitchen.
Uno tied another apron around his waist, with the recipe book wrapped around his tail. He washed his hands, put the cutting board away, and started to prepare everyone's bento.
.
at noon.
With a bag containing a bento box in his hand and a formal visit with tea, Uo stood hesitantly at the door of Fuhei's house, the hand that was trying to knock on the door froze in the air, motionless.
Ah, how bad.
Forget about telling them in advance that you are coming to visit.
Growing up in a big family during his lifetime, Uo, who was particularly particular about etiquette in business affairs, drooped his shoulders dejectedly.
He who wanted to adopt those two children felt that he was a little bit unlucky now.
Uosheng didn't knock on the door for a long time, and Chacha standing beside him couldn't help but look up at the adults several times.
In the end, she sighed like a little adult herself, and stepped forward very simply to do it.
Chacha only knocked on the door twice.
Before the words of polite visit could be spoken, there was the sound of hasty footsteps inside, and then the door was opened all of a sudden.
When it was almost twelve o'clock, when Uogi came to deliver lunch boxes every day, the two children of Fuguro's family had already shifted their attention to the direction of the entrance with anxiety and anticipation.
Will you come again?
Will you still want to keep in touch?
They were extremely worried that Mr. Curse Spirit would disappear after being identified like the crane in the story, and they became more and more nervous as they got closer to twelve o'clock.
So the moment Chacha knocked on the door, Megumi and Tsumiki, whose attention was all attracted by the entrance, almost jumped up from the spot at once.
They hurried to open the door.
The first thing Tsumiji saw was Chacha, the little girl who was much shorter than herself.
She couldn't help being a little disappointed, but still raised a gentle smile, intending to ask this strange little guest why he came.
However, the eyes of Megumi next to her instantly lit up and the name she couldn't help shouting out after being dazed, made Tsumiji pause.
"Mr. Kitazawa!"
Tsumiji turned her head to look at her younger brother, who was holding the air firmly with his hands up, and raised his head hard, as if he was relieved, and smiled rarely.
Tsumiji's eyes lit up after she realized it.
.
"Really... Thank you so much for taking care of us during this time!!"
Tsumiji bowed to the air, and was gently pulled by Hui, who adjusted her new direction.
Although she couldn't see it, Tsumiki's attitude was extremely serious.
"It was the same yesterday. You have worked hard and you are still willing to come. Huizhen and I are really very happy." She smiled, and the surprise in her eyes was not false.
He is expected.
Still a little girl who couldn't see her own existence.
…Ordinary people, under normal circumstances, are afraid of things they cannot see with their own eyes, right?
Uogi thought about it restrainedly, and then bowed very hesitantly.
"Sorry, I came to visit without prior notice and disturbed you."
Tsumiki heard nothing and knew nothing.
It was Hui's quiet retelling that made her shake her head suddenly.
"How come, we welcome you at any time! Ah, anyway, come in first."
.
Chacha, who is optimistic and cheerful, like a little sun, can easily penetrate into the children's group.
She even took the initiative to take the bag that Mr. Manju Ling was carrying, and distributed the lunch boxes to everyone one by one.
Afterwards, he introduced the lunch arrangements very seriously.
All bento boxes are specially made.
Tsumiki’s is relatively light, with less oil, less salt and no spicy, but not too bland: two servings of vegetables, the meat is Tsumiki’s favorite steamed fish nuggets with sauce, and finally a serving of fruit.
Considering Tsumiki's mood, other people's bentos will not be too rich, and they are unified into Japanese cuisine, but compared with Tsumiki's bento, the seasoning is more free, and it is completely customized according to individual taste.
For example, Hui, who prefers ginger dishes, got a roast pork with ginger sauce, and put a little red ginger on the side.
And Chacha's bento is also fish, but fried fish.
Vegetables and fruits are quite uniform.
Uo, who doesn't need to eat, but prepares a bento for himself just because he is accompanying him, the dishes he prepares for himself are quite casual.
Although it is disguised, if you observe carefully and carefully... you can probably detect that it is the leftovers of the ingredients.
Tsumiji: "I always feel that every bento is unexpectedly in line with our taste..."
"of course."
Chacha seized the opportunity to build a good relationship with her father: "Don't look at Dad like this, he is super careful, according to your reply on the note, he has a notebook to record your favorite tastes and dishes!"
Tsumiji opened her eyes in surprise, "Huh? Is that so?"
On the contrary, Hui vaguely guessed: "Sure enough..."
Chacha, who hardly felt restrained, chatted with her brothers and sisters whom she had been looking forward to for a long time.
Her cheeks were bulging, and while eating, after swallowing the food, she spoke briskly to the Fu Hei siblings about Mr. Curse Ling.
In order to increase the success rate of her father bringing back a brother and a sister, Chacha talked about the advantages of adults very hard.
I will play games and play house with her.
Will hold her high.
Will learn new recipes and cook delicious things for her.
And a bedtime story every night.
She has a father who is number one in the world.
Chacha shared it proudly, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise, the tip of her loose bone tail couldn't help but touch Chacha's leg lightly, signaling her to restrain herself.
Chacha pretended not to know, while the other two little guys cast envious eyes on Chacha.
——A child who is doted on by an adult has a different light and expression in his eyes.
so good.
The children of Fuhei's family thought this way again subconsciously, and swallowed the food in their mouths with some bitterness.
The original delicious meal seems not so delicious.
"so--"
And at this time, Chacha spoke again.
Keenly observing Megumi and Tsumiki's expressions, she turned her head and tugged on Raosheng's sleeve as if she had confirmed something.
be quick.
Chacha urged silently, her face puffed up.
This time is the best time!
Uno was helpless when she saw him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and hesitantly answered Chacha's words: "So..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Hui immediately looked over.
Tsumiki, who was invisible, seemed to have noticed it too. She set her eyes on the "air" beside Chacha, and began to wait for Hui's report.
Uosheng paused for a moment when he was stared at by two pairs of clean eyes.
The hesitation and hesitation in my heart resurfaced again.
[…Will you be willing? ]
do not know.
but.
The words swirled around his lips, Uosheng took a deep breath, and said to Kei who could see him: "I have a stable residence, and I also have enough time and energy. Although my income is not too much, I can support a few people. A child is still fine..."
He looked at the green-eyed child with dark red eyes, and continued nervously:
"And I think you can't live outside alone anymore, you're too young."
"so--"
"If you don't mind, would you like to move here...to live with us?"
Hui slowly opened his eyes wide, with a blank expression on his face.
Mr. Curse Spirit, who didn't get a reply for five seconds, drooped the tip of his tail slightly. His tense body couldn't help lowering his gaze, and added: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. Although I am Curse Spirit, I still want to Know one or two human beings, and I will find a way to help you find qualified guardians..." Guardian.
Hui suddenly interrupted: "Is it really possible?"
"Huh?" Uogi looked over and met Kei's green eyes.
The black-haired child pursed his lips, and his reddened eyes instantly made Mr. Curse Ling at a loss for what to do.
"Can we really...can live with you?"
It was like a young abandoned cat standing in front of a house with the door open to him, facing the warmth inside, hesitantly daring not to take a step closer.
Uso looked at the little guy steadily.
The other party is more uneasy than oneself, more disturbed than oneself.
The tension in my heart disappeared unconsciously.
Uo immediately stood up and walked to Kei, bent down and squatted down, facing the little guy.
"That's what I want to ask." Mr. Curse Spirit breathed out, looked up at Hui seriously, and then stretched out his hand towards Hui, with a low voice, "...are you willing to accept a Curse Spirit as a guardian?"
Hui rubbed the mist from the corners of his eyes.
He lowered his head, but pulled Razin Miki without hesitation, and put his and his sister's hands firmly in Mr. Curse Spirit's.
.
Megumi relayed the conversation to Tsumiki, and compared to Megumi who just had reddened eyes, Tsumiki shed tears after being stunned.
They quickly finished the bento, and then went to pack their luggage at the same time, as if they were afraid that the adults would regret it, full of eagerness.
Chacha and Uosheng originally wanted to help.
However, the luggage of the two little guys was pitifully small, and it didn't take much time to pack a schoolbag for each of them.
Shortly after.
The door to the Vuhei apartment was shut.
Probably for a long time in the future, no one will live here.
And the other side.
The Kitazawa family.
Chacha pulled her newly baked brother and sister, and excitedly took them to the new room.
