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

The general looked at the girl beside him and raised her lips.

"Haha, yes... But I'm sorry to bother you... I wanted to entertain you nicely, but I haven't finished my work here yet, um..."

Xiao Gong touched his head, looking a little embarrassed and a little guilty.

"No, I came at an untimely time. On the contrary, I am a little worried about whether my being here will affect you."

How could she blame the other party?She doesn't have that kind of personality, and besides, she was the one who took the initiative to come here to find the other party today. If it was a mistake, it would be her fault. The timing of her visit was just unlucky.

"No, no, how could it affect me? It won't affect me at all...and if you can come and see me...I'll be satisfied."

After all, she is not from the shogunate, let alone Princess Egret. Although she runs a fireworks shop, she is just a commoner. She is satisfied as long as she can make the other party care.

"Yeah, that's good..."

The general was slightly relieved when he heard this, as long as it didn't affect her. She didn't know anything about fireworks, so she could only watch the fun.

"Well, let's go first and leave the store to Dad alone."

Xiao Gong suggested.

"…Listen to you."

She nodded and followed, and the two of them said goodbye to Ryunosuke and walked along the upper reaches of Hanamizaka.

Yonomiya was still leading the way during the process. She followed the other person and looked at his back. She had long been accustomed to the scenery of Hanamizaka, and the only one who was not used to it or had never seen it before was the girl in front of her, so She subconsciously stared at the figure in front of her.

"He is quite similar to you, in terms of personality."

During this period, she suddenly mentioned it.

"Haha, many people have said it...I heard my dad say that he was even more energetic than me when he was young."

Xiao Gong turned to smile at her.

"Does he usually chat with others?"

she asked curiously.

Wouldn't that be troublesome?After all, I can't hear it... but I still have to echo it.

"Yes, but he is the one who listens. After all, dad is hard of hearing. He doesn't argue with others, let alone deny what others say. He always listens happily."

"When I was young, I thought he understood me very well and thought everything I said was right, so I said everything to him."

Xiao Gong slowed down his pace so that he was shoulder to shoulder with the people around him, and told her about his childhood experiences with an engaged tone. At this moment, the person he was listening to was the people around him. The general also turned his head to look at the girl next to him, listening attentively.

"But...I found out later that Dad was happy just because he couldn't hear clearly, but I still told him stories every day."

Xiao Gong shrugged at her and said with a smile.

"Even if he can't hear, he may understand my emotions, and just seeing his smiling face makes me content as a daughter."

"..."

She looked at the girl silently.

"Haha, you think I'm weird, right?"

Xiaogong also saw the look in her eyes, tilted his head and asked with a smile.

"No, on the contrary, I think you are very sensible."

she answered.

"Eh? Are you sensible? I'm... embarrassed when you say that, but I'm just happy, haha///"

Xiao Gong was stunned for a moment, and then she twisted a little cutely, and subconsciously scratched her face with her fingers, smiling with a blush on her face, like a cute little animal.

"puff…"

Looking at such a girl, she also showed a faint smile, turned the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and looked at Hanamizaka Avenue in front of her.

"It's here, it's here~!"

After Xiaogong saw the name on the corresponding door plate, he walked directly to the door of the house and knocked on the door.

knock knock!

"Mr. Koichi! It's me, Xiao Gong."

The girl called to the back of the door.

"Hey! Here we come!"

A male voice echoed from behind the door. Soon after, the door was opened, and the bespectacled man named Koichi came out.

"Oh, Xiao Palace, is it about the fireworks?"

The other party asked before Xiao Gong could speak.

"That's right, your fireworks have been made. Just go to my house to pick them up later. They are all made according to the records on the note. They are perfect, not bad at all!"

Xiao Gong nodded and informed in detail.

"Okay~! I'll be there in a moment."

Koichi answered with satisfaction.

"By the way, remember to bring pen and paper when you go, in case my dad makes a mistake."

She thought of something and gave a temporary reminder.

"Okay...I've remembered all of them. They are all regular customers. Don't forget this~! Don't worry."

Geng spread his hands and said not to worry. Then he saw the general next to Xiao Gong and was a little confused.

"Uh... who is this...?"

"Ah, she is my friend, her name is..."

Xiao Gong paused and looked at the general subconsciously.

"Mio."

The general replied as usual.

She felt that the ordinary name that Xinhai gave her was really useful, otherwise she would have to decide on it in the future. It just so happened that her two mothers were named Kage and Zhen, so as their daughter, she was named Mio.

"Yes, Mio is my good friend...he came here to help today."

Xiao Gong immediately picked it up.

"Oh... I see. Then you must let your friends watch the fireworks show. By the way, there is also the Akitsu Festival tonight. Be sure to go and join in the fun when you have time."

The other party said Anli.

"Will go."

she answered.

"That's it for now. We still have to go to someone else's house. Bye."

Xiao Gong took the initiative to lead her to say goodbye.

Chapter of Qiu Jin ~ Time passes easily, life is like dew: Chapter 10 Are there social cows around me?

"Well, it's a good thing you came with me today, otherwise I would have had to chat with him for a long time just now."

Xiao Gong, who left Geng's family, thought of something and then touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"I see, you have talked to me a lot today, almost everything."

She felt like the girl's mouth was shooting out like a machine gun. This was the first time she saw such a talkative person, talking to her incessantly.

"Uh... I've been working hard to make fireworks the past few days. I don't have much time to chat with others. I'm almost suffocated."

Xiao Gong puffed up his face slightly and didn't know who he was blaming, and spoke as if he was angry.

"Although dad likes to listen to me, he has bad ears and it is difficult for him to give some surprising reactions,"

The girl walked side by side with her while chatting.

"What about today?"

She answered.

"Today? Haha, of course I saw you coming today, so I can freely say all the words I have been holding back for the past few days~! And this kind of thing is as fleeting as fireworks. If I don't do it right away, If you say it out loud, it won’t make any sense later.”

Xiaogong gently adjusted the ends of his hair with his fingertips, looking weird.

Were you holding back those words you said before?Then she must be this guy's talking point now... Thinking about it like this, she felt a little helpless.

Of course, the talking bucket does not mean the trash can. She liked hearing a lot of what the other party said to her today. After all, being with the other party was not boring at all.

"Oh, by the way, General... give this to you."

Xiao Gong suddenly thought of something and handed a note from his pocket to her hand.

"This is…"

She looked over and found that it was a note that the other party had given to the three children before. It contained some incomprehensible professional vocabulary, and at the top was the handwritten word 'Naganohara'.

"Whenever a customer comes to order fireworks to commemorate something, our family will give them a note. Only our family members can understand the content of the note, which is the specific recipe for making this kind of fireworks."

Xiaogong pointed at the unfamiliar words in the note.

"..."

She looked at the note in her hand silently, listening to the other party's explanation.

"This one is specially for you. I specially customized it. It also has my handwriting on it. Look~"

Indeed, the words 'xiaogong' were written in smooth handwriting on the corner of the note.

"For hundreds of years, you have been guarding Ina Wife, but there must be times when you want to commemorate something, right? Then this note is the most suitable for you. As long as you read this note, no matter ten years have passed, For hundreds of years, Naganohara can guarantee to make the same fireworks as before. It is a memory immersed in the years, and you can find it exactly the same hundreds of years later. For you who have always pursued eternity, it is the best thing. It couldn’t be more appropriate.”

Xiao Gong smiled at her.

"...Thanks for your work, I will accept this."

She understood what the girl meant, and felt a little warm in her heart. She raised her lips to thank her and put the paper into her kimono pocket with great care. She wanted to put this kind of souvenir directly in the drawer for preservation when she returned.

Even so, she always subconsciously feels disappointed when she hears topics like lifespan hundreds of years from now. It may be that she is a little sensitive to these topics now, because she knows that she is not a human being and can always Living in the world, but not the girl around her, this kind of commemorative thing always makes her sad.

Phew...that's all, now is not the time to think about this...

"General? What's wrong with you?"
