As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

"Of course! It's such a small thing... just hug me, it's just..."

He was about to ask if these things would bring any loss to the two of them, but when he came back to his senses, he realized that with their status, there was no loss that could affect them.

"Don't worry, after all, I am the eldest lady of the Kamisato family. They have no right to control me just because of these matters."

What about the general?

Of course Linghua saw through the other party's worries and just gave him such a simple word of comfort.

"Finally... In life, no one can guarantee that someone will help them when they encounter difficulties, so Mr. Jiurisu, you should be more careful in the future."

General Ayakato winked and gave this final instruction to Chairman Jiurisu in front of him.

"Then...please tell us the time and place when the goods were robbed, as well as the appearance and characteristics of the robbers."

"Okay! Thank you so much!! The time was two hours ago, and the location was-"

Chapter of the Snow Crane ~ Narration of the Crane and the White Rabbit ~ : Chapter 61 Everyone has a childish side, not just the General?

wow wow~

The cold touch of the stream kept brewing on her fingertips. The transparent and clean stream kept washing over her delicate palms like silver gauze. From time to time, petals of fallen cherry blossoms would drift over and crawl on her hands. heart.

This place is near the small beach between the remote island and Konta Village... It is also the place where the incident happened that Gurisu told the two of them before. Now she, Ayaka and Gurisu went to the place of the incident together, but because of the people on the beach, Ayaka's steps were too scattered, so she proposed a strategy of splitting up. Of course, the so-called splitting up was just dividing them into two groups.

She and Ayaka were in a group, and Kurisu was in a group alone, and they split up to explore east and west.

"These footprints... are very deep. They should be traces left recently."

Ayaka on the side gently touched the depth of the footprints with her fingers.

"The footprints Mr. Jiurisu found before were too messy. It seems that they were made deliberately by someone. Is it to confuse our sight?"

She squatted beside a series of footprints and analyzed in a low voice.

"..."

The general turned his head slightly when he heard the sound and looked at Linghua, who was squatting on the beach next to her and thinking seriously. Then she turned back to look at the clear stream in front of her.

That's right... She was squatting next to a stream and playing with the water. She put her white palms into the stream and let it flow along her skin, just like a little girl's habit.

Linghua didn't mind her movements at all, letting her paddle along the edge while still checking the whereabouts of the footprints.

however…

She raised her eyes again and glanced at the girl who was holding the folding fan slightly against her chin and looking thoughtful. There was a little bit of teasing in her heart. She let the stream flow slightly to the palm of her hand and then——

"Ayaka."

"Huh? General, what did you find-"

Whoa! !

"--ah!"

However... Ayaka, who heard her shouting, came back to her senses and just wanted to ask, 'Did you find anything? 'The next second after saying these words, a cold stream of water swept over her fair face.

puff…

When he saw the other party being splashed by her... the general couldn't help but smile in his heart.

"Well…"

After Linghua reacted, she looked at her with a wet face and complained.

"Please, please wait... General, we are still here -"

Whoa!

"——Hmm~!"

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, she was splashed with water on her face again. However, this time she was on guard, and immediately unfolded her folding fan to block the water splash, and at the same time spread a thin layer of ice to the outside. on the fan to prevent the fan itself from getting wet.

"...what else?"

She asked while holding back her laughter.

"Phew! Nothing~what~!"

Whoa!

After blocking the blow, Ayaka slightly bit her lip with her small front teeth. Then she also started to have fun with her. She squatted by the stream like her and slapped her in the face like she was fighting back. Splash the water.

"Look at the move~"

wow.

"Well!"

She subconsciously turned her face away to endure the cool touch of the stream, and the kimono skirt attached to her neck became soaked, revealing a hint of spring in her skin.

"bring it on."

wow...

She fought back again.

"Hey~"

Ayaka saw the direction of the water flow and accurately blocked the folding fan in front of her face, blocking the blow perfectly, and then counterattacked again!

"!"

This time she also put the oil-paper umbrella on her shoulder in front of her.

"Sir General...it's illegal to use props~?"

Ayaka teased her after closing the folding fan.

"Yu Wen, didn't you also use a fan to block it?"

She wiped off the water stains on her face and pushed back her wet bangs, and retorted.

"...Poof."×2

The two chuckled together, and this scene seemed to return to the past again. When Ayaka was a child, the two would occasionally play and fight.

It lasted for about a minute...the clothes of both of them were stained with a little water at this time, but it was not serious because each party deliberately splashed the water on the other's face instead of the clothes.

"Huh... General, please stop making trouble."

Ayaka wiped the sweat from her forehead, exhaled, and slowly slumped her legs to the ground in a side-legged sitting position. The plain white footbags wrapped around her slender feet also revealed their white and tender complexion due to the moisture.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have played with you."

She regretted looking at the other person's look.

"You misunderstood... Although I am willing to play with you, but... now is not the time."

Ayaka sat on the beach hugging her knees and answered her lovingly.

"This body...is a bit childish."

She complained slightly to herself in a low voice.

"..."

Ayaka just smiled slightly when she heard this, then took her hand and pulled her up together. She took out a light blue handkerchief from the pocket of her skirt, took up the moist and beautiful hands of the woman in front of her and gently touched them. It was wiped with water stains.

"..."

Looking at the girl who was wiping the water on her hands, she couldn't help but move her gaze slightly up to her face.

"Even the General needs to relax at the right time... Even you will get tired if you are always busy with things."

Ayaka said to her while lowering her eyes and wiping her palms.

"Besides... everyone has a childish side, whether it's Ayaka, my brother or... you, the general."

He stopped wiping, and then let his hands intertwined with hers.

"So...General, there is no need to feel guilty."

He raised his ice blue eyes to meet her purple ones.

"Huh... As expected, you are more mature than me."

she sighed.

"Haha... you think too highly of me. Ayaka can only pretend to be mature in front of the general? Huh... let's not talk about this. I have found the specific clues. Let's go find Mr. Jurisu together, right?"

Ayaka held her hand, smiled sweetly at her and gestured in the direction of Jiurisu opposite.

"Let's go."

Looking at the hand held by the other party, I couldn't help but feel helpless. Is this child becoming more proactive?

After the two met up with Mr. Gurisu——

"Have you guys found any clues? I can't find anything useful except for some messy footprints."

When Jiurisu saw the two people coming back, he quickly ran over to complain.

"Please don't panic, we already have clues."

Ayaka put a folding fan against her chin to calmly comfort her and looked at the general.

"Ah...what do you think of Miss Kamisato?"

Jiurisu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ayaka's words. If Miss Kamisato didn't panic, he wouldn't panic.

"The footprints on your side are just a cover-up to cover the other party's escape, but ours are the real footprints left by them."

"What do you mean?"

Jiurisu asked seriously with his eyes widened.

"Those footprints are very deep and were left not long ago, which shows that they have not gone far and it is possible to catch up with them."

Ayaka analyzed calmly.

"Oh I got it!"

Jiulisu suddenly realized.

"In that case... let's leave quickly."
