After giving Xue Ji some instructions, Haoren quickly took her into the shop.
"Welcome...oh, Fujiwara-kun!"
After entering the store, I saw a science student wearing a red gown, a black apron, orange-rimmed glasses, and looking like a bookstore saleswoman.
Rico's tone was still calm, but when he saw Haoren, his eyes flashed with light.
Haoren was surprised by Li Ke's attire, but he quickly remembered something. After scanning around, he found that her father was not in sight, and he was quickly relieved.
According to what Science said at the time, on the day Yukari was born, her father happened to be on a business trip, so she and her sister were at home.
"Well, according to the agreement, he came to celebrate Yukari's birthday..."
Haoren smiled slightly and explained. Before Bu Nao finished speaking, Li Ke took two steps forward and gently grabbed his arm.
"Fujiwara-kun, I took leave for those few days and didn't come to school. He thought something happened to me and I wouldn't come!"
Although Science always had a paralyzed look on his face and his tone was calm, Haoren could hear a hint of worry in it, perhaps after having been together for a long time.
"Well, if there is something wrong, don't worry, I'll put my foot down first, he will bring a guest tomorrow..."
So saying that, Haoren took two steps forward to make way for Xue Ji, who had been hiding behind him before.
The moment she saw Xue Ji, Rico was stunned. It was obvious that Xue Ji's appearance made her feel very familiar and surprised.
"Mother...no, no no..."
After thinking of a certain posthumous photo at home, she unconsciously wanted to call out the word "mother", but she quickly realized it and shook her head quickly.
"If I'm not my mother, I look a bit like her..."
Haoren expected that kind of reaction from the science major.
After all, he had also seen the posthumous photo of Li Ke's mother. The two of them looked very similar, but not exactly the same. Their temperament and eye color were completely different.
As far as children are concerned, anyone who can think normally and can identify can recognize the difference between Xue Ji and her science mother.
"That's a distant relative of his. Her name is Yukina. She's staying at his house recently. Ayase-san, I can call her Aunty Yukina."
After the science department came back calmly, Haoren introduced Xue Ji in a timely manner, using her fake identity of course.
"Hello, Aunt Xuena!"
"I'm good!"
"Aunt Xue Nai heard that he asked to come to celebrate the birth of a little girl tomorrow. She happened to have nothing to do, so she came with him.
Of course she came with a gift, Ayase-san, I won’t not welcome her, right?”
After the two greeted each other, Haoren made up an excuse to explain why Xue Ji came.
"Of course not. Welcome, Yukari should be very happy."
"kindness……"
Indeed, Yukari will be delighted!
Haoren nodded secretly.
"He took us to the second floor first. Yukari was there, and we stayed with her first. He really wanted to see the store.
At noon, they will celebrate Yukari’s birth month together!”
Soon, under the guidance of Science, the two came to the house where they lived on the second floor and met Yukari.
Not surprisingly, Yukari was extremely happy after seeing Yuki.
Although Haoren had already introduced the name Yukari to Yukari, Yukari regarded Yukari as her dead mother and always clung to her.
"Aunt Xuena, I'll stay with Yukari there while he goes east to have a look..."
After walking for a while, Haoren wanted to go east and have a chat with Science, and asked her if he wanted to ask her about the current situation of the school.
It just so happens that I can give time to Xue Ji and let her experience more human "family love".
"Haoren, that little girl..."
Xue Ji seems to be extremely uncomfortable with being clung to by a little girl, or she has never encountered such a situation since she was born.
Seeing that Haoren wanted to beg Donglou, Xueji hurriedly grabbed him, as if she wanted to say something.
but……
"Mom, Mom, let's leave Brother Haoren alone and let me take a look at his paintings!"
Due to Yukari's interference, Yuki didn't finish her sentence.
"It's okay, I'll stay with her first..."
Haoren didn't care. After comforting Xue Ji, he left the room.
Arriving at the small shop in the east building, Haoren happened to see Li Ke getting some kind of pet food into a pet food bowl.
"Fujiwara-kun, why did I come here?"
"Oh, it's a bit boring walking around here. He comes here to blow in the wind...what am I doing?" Haoren said, approaching Li Ke.
"Feed the cat..."
"My family has a lot of cats?"
"Fujiwara-kun, he wants my help with something..."
Science did not answer directly, but made another request.
Soon, Haoren knew what was going on.
…
"That's it!"
"He goes, there are so many cats..."
Next door to Li Ke's house, there was an abandoned open space. There was a small dilapidated ruined building in the open space. Haoren stretched his head and looked inside, and was immediately stunned.
In the shadow of that ruined building, dozens of shining golden cat eyes emerged.
The cat, which was very young at ten years old, was not only not afraid of people at all after hearing Li Ke's voice, but also trotted towards Haoren and Li Ke like a chick returning from a long migratory mother bird.
That scene may seem cruel.
After Haoren was surprised for a while, he carefully looked at the ruined building in Yidong, but was slightly stunned.
Because that area looked very clean, and he didn't smell any unpleasant smell.
It stands to reason that with so many kittens living there, even if it is not dirty, there should be a very unpleasant smell.
But if this is not the case, then it means that someone has been there specifically to take care of the cats and clean them.
After thinking about it, Haoren said:
"Am I raising all the kittens there?"
"They were all abandoned kittens nearby, so he was thinking that he could take care of them for a while until he found someone to adopt them."
Rico nodded, skillfully placing the cat's food bowl on the ground and calling the kitten over.
While feeding the kitten, she would pick it up from time to time to check its physical condition.
At that moment, Li Ke still looked expressionless, but the way she handled and carefully fed the kitten made Haoren feel the distress and pity that Li Ke had not shown on her face.
.
If she wasn't born with a paralyzed face, I guess she would be a very gentle girl in science!
Haoren couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I see, it seems like I don't have a cat at home. Why don't you pick two or three from there and keep them at home first?"
"..."
Haoren asked casually, but as soon as he asked that question, Like fell into silence.
It took a long time before she replied in a low voice.
"The family can't raise him, and his father won't let him raise him!"
"No wonder..."
Haoren nodded, but did not notice that when Rico said those words, a dim look flashed across his eyes.
Immediately, he glanced at the number of kittens, frowned slightly and said:
"There are so many of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find someone to adopt them!"
"He has calculated that based on probability theory, there is at most a 5% chance of finding someone to adopt in a week. That's why he wants to ask Fujiwara-kun to help him. Can I adopt someone or help him find someone else?
adoption?"
Could it be that he already has a weak cat lady at home?
Haoren complained in his heart, then nodded and said:
"No problem. If you meet the right person, he will try his best to ask."
"Thank you, Fujiwara-kun, for always troublesome me."
Rico's dull eyes lit up slightly again. Perhaps it was because Haoren often helped her there, so being by Haoren's side made her eyes more radiant.
Soon, after feeding the kittens, Haoren and Li Ke returned to the shop and started chatting about school.
There haven't been any major events in the school recently, except for the fact that the foreign exchange students have been spreading.
I don’t know if a princess from the British royal family will come to Hachioji High School as an exchange student next year. I don’t know if it’s true or not…
As we chatted, the time came to noon before we knew it.
Haoren and Xueji started to celebrate Yukari's birth month together. They said they wanted to celebrate the birth month, but in fact, the science department invited Haoren alone.
Although there are few people in the city, there are no shortage of required procedures, such as singing birthday songs, blowing out candles, cutting cakes...
For Gary, this should be the happiest month of her life since she was born.
After all, it was the only birth month spent with "mother".
The birth-moon banquet lasted until morning, and Yujia Li was reluctant to leave Xue Ji.
Every time Xueji left, Yukari would cry. In the end, after Rico coaxed Yukari to sleep, Haoren took Xueji and left her house.
Of course, what Haoren didn't know was that after he left, the temperature outside Yukari's room suddenly dropped sharply, and the entire room, no, the entire second floor, fell into a world like an ice cave...
…
Late at night, somewhere in Hokkaido, there is a huge demon realm - the liquor store realm.
The so-called demon realm is not a natural space rift, or an area in a parallel world that is beyond the reach of human power.
After all, in that ordinary world, humans did not master too powerful space power, and even among the spiritual arts of the island nation, there was no space-like spiritual arts.
Therefore, the scattered space cracks in Ruming have become the last piece of paradise that humans cannot pursue after the demons are defeated by humans.
And in that demonic realm, there is a rather majestic city. It is not a modern city, but a city like the one where daimyo lived during the Warring States Period of the island country.
At a certain moment, in a hall on the highest floor of the city, a certain demon who was taking away the throne suddenly opened his eyes.
Because at that moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the hall.
"What's up?"
"Reporting to the master, they have received news that Master Qingbo is dead!"
"Tsk, Master Qingbo failed?"
"No."
"Forget it, we can put aside the affairs of Tamamo Prequel for the time being and prioritize the implementation of the Great Snow Demon Plan. The seeds have been planted for a long time. If it's time to grow, go ahead!"
"Zuo Ming, Master!"
Recently, the chapter this morning has been around 3,000 words. Stop being short and feeble, eh eh eh ~
