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

"Ah, you are really satisfied, right? Hum~ Well, if you are not satisfied, I will really cry..."

Xiao Gong touched his head and looked happy, but when he talked about it, his face changed cutely, pretending to be disappointed.

"..."

She looked at the other person with a smile on her lips, and then moved her gaze to the castle tower across the sea in the distance.

Did Ying Hui see the fireworks just now?

——Thinking like this in my heart.

You should see it, right?Maybe the other person is standing in the pavilion on the top floor of the castle tower looking at this rice wife?

She was actually a little regretful, because she always felt that she should accompany the other person and watch the fireworks display together, but unfortunately that was not the case now.

Of course, she didn't mean to think anything of Xiao Gong. He was very nice and very happy today.

"Actually, I usually don't speak when watching fireworks. This is my habit. It is a ritual and sacred thing to quietly watch the fireworks take off after making something by myself. But - today I am different. , because it is you and me together, and I feel that it is the most appropriate time to tell you some of my understanding of 'eternity' at that time."

Maybe there will be no chance to talk to the other party after this...so I have to seize the opportunity.

"Fireworks are something that can leave a deep impression on people. No matter how far we have traveled, encountered something, felt shaken, or tired, at least we can still think of today's fireworks."

Xiao Gong stood up and passed her, looking at the night sky that enveloped the entire Daozuma City in the distance, his tone was full of enjoyment and expectation.

"Fireworks disappear in an instant. They are the farthest thing from the eternity you once wanted, but everyone's sustenance will not disappear. This is the reason why fireworks exist."

Xiao Gong said to her again.

She listened to the girl's point of view and sighed in her heart. This child has the same idea of ​​eternity and truth. Maybe this is the reason why Ayaka asked her to come.

"I believe that as time passes, this firework will become more and more beautiful and moving in your heart~!"

The girl turned around with her hands behind her back and smiled crookedly at her.

"Then, the general will be my guest from now on~? Whether it's a note or fireworks, if you need anything, just come to me, it's free~!"

The girl suggested to her.

"It's not free...If necessary, it will be based on the price."

She shook her head.

"Eh? It's okay...how can I accept money from the General?"

Xiao Gong puffed up his face.

"As you said before, favors are favors and business is business, right?"

she asked back.

"Well...really~ just write down these things that are not good for me~"

The girl complained cutely to her with a red face.

"Pfft, that's not the case. I've been with you for a whole day and I know how hard you have worked. I just think you should get these rewards. It can be regarded as an encouragement to the subjects."

She replied softly.

"Well...forget it, I can't persuade you, but I will give you a discount, don't say any more~! That's it!"

Xiao Gong crossed his arms and looked like a child who didn't want to hear it.

"Okay...I accept it."

she replied lovingly.

"By the way, is the Akitsu Conference about to start? Do you want to go there?"

Xiao Gong noticed the time and asked.

"I'm just accompanying Ayaka."

She opened her mouth to answer.

"Oh, since you have an appointment with Linghua, you should go quickly. I have some things to do. I'll pack up the fireworks by the way. I might be there later."

Xiao Gong pointed in the direction of the guarding forest and urged her.

"...Is it okay? Do you need help?"

she asked.

"It's okay...it's all commonplace."

Xiao Gong shook his head.

"Then I'll take my leave for now."

"Well~bye, General."

Xiao Gong responded with a smile and waved his hand to her.

She glanced at the other party, turned around, picked up the oil-paper umbrella and walked down the slope of Ganjin Island, her figure slowly walking away under Xiao Gong's sight.

"..."

Xiao Gong looked at the increasingly distant figure aloud, recalling his previous words "I have an appointment with Linghua", and couldn't help but feel a little emotional...

With Ayaka...

Haha...that's great.

……

.........

At this time, it was time to make the appointment with Ayaka. The agreed place was the Kamisato Prefecture. During the process, we had to pass through the forest of guards. It is said that this forest was the venue for one of the projects of the conference, but this time the guard was The forest was a little different from the original one, and she felt that there was a strong atmosphere around her.

"...?"

She paused, narrowed her eyes slightly, then turned slightly and glanced at the dense forest behind her and to her side.

"...an illusion?"

After murmuring in a low voice, he withdrew his attention and once again walked along the slender stairs that were spanned by torii gates. The top of the stairs was the Kamisato Yashiki.

After her figure left, three little ones suddenly appeared in the corner of the forest. They were not tall and looked like children. All three of them wore monster-like masks. One was a kappa mask, the other was a one-eyed mask, and the second was a demon fox. Mask, it can be seen that the child in the middle wearing the demon fox mask is a girl, and the other two are boys.

"Wow...scared me to death..."

The kappa wiped the cold sweat on his forehead that was blocked by the mask, and his voice trembled.

"Her eyes were so fierce just now..."

One Eye shrunk.

"She didn't notice us, did she? I felt like she saw me at that glance."

The demon fox murmured softly.

"Eh? Shouldn't we find out? Otherwise... we wouldn't leave."

Kappa answered.

"Perhaps the other party is a tourist who comes to participate in the courage test party?"

The demon fox was suspicious.

"It better be...otherwise it will be terrible."

The one eye was still twitching.

"But...but...I don't dare to scare her for a while..."

The timid kappa shook his head happily.

"Let's not worry about this for now. The dare meeting is about to begin. Do you still remember our purpose?"

The demon fox was the first one to cheer up and turned back to encourage his two colleagues.

"Hmm!" ×2

The two also nodded.

"Not only here, the entertainment industry must also be prepared."

“Don’t worry, leave it to us~!”×2

Don’t let those who come here down!

At night, she passed the guard forest and followed the stairs to the outside of Kamisato Yashiki's courtyard. What caught her eye was Toma, who had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her coming, he immediately got up from the wall and stood quickly. Kneel down on one knee in front of her.

"Sir General...welcome to Shenli Mansion."

The young man is accustomed to waiting like this.

"No need to be polite, where is Ayaka?"

She raised her hand to simply ask the other person to stand up, and looked around.

"The lady has been waiting for you with the head of the family in the front yard for a long time."

Thomas stood up and made a report gesture with clasped fists.

"Master? Is Ayato back too?"

she asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the head of the family just arrived home today."

Thomas answered.

"That's it, please step back and I can go alone without accompanying you."

She looked at the young man in front of her and gave him instructions.

"As ordered..."

Thomas bowed and then withdrew skillfully.

"..."

Watching the young man leave, she thought for a moment, then sighed and stepped into the courtyard of Shenli Mansion, heading towards the vestibule.

The vestibule is not far from the gate, and there is no wall between them, so it is easy to see the brother and sister sitting in the rest area of ​​the vestibule. She walked to the front of the patio and moved her legs skillfully to each other. The herringbone heels were taken off, and her white silk feet stepped on the table and walked into the pavilion.
