A cute girl’s heart is capable of anything

"Hello, aunt, I am Aldan's friend, my name is..."

"It's Qingzhu Fengya, right? I know you."

Before the black-haired horse girl could finish her words, she was interrupted by the horse girl sitting in front of her.

Ma Niang, who looked very similar to Mejiro Aldan, looked at her with a look that Qingzhu Fengya couldn't understand: "...after all, Aldan, the kid, was watching the competitions you participated in."

"In other words, is she always looking at me?"

After hearing what Mejiro Aldan's mother said, Aozu Fuga looked at the blue-haired horse girl sitting next to her, and continued: "I'm so happy~?"

"Well, Aldan likes you very much."

Ma Niang, who was sitting opposite the two men, smiled and nodded.

"Wait... wait, mom, what are you talking about?"

Mejiro Aldan, who was blushing due to the two's double talk, urgently intervened in the conversation: "Don't use such words that Fengya will misunderstand!"

"Misunderstanding? Aldan, what are you talking about?"

Aldan's mother pretended to be confused and asked: "...Obviously these things I said are normal things?"

"Yes Aldan, what are you talking about?"

Qingzhu Fengya, who also looked puzzled, asked doubtfully: "Aren't these normal topics we are talking about? Is there anything in it that could cause misunderstanding?"

"..."

Mejiro Aldan was speechless when he saw the innocent black-haired horse girl staring at him curiously, and then cast a resentful look at his mother sitting opposite him.

...Really, how can I explain this to Feng Ya?

"Okay, okay, let's stop joking."

After receiving the resentful look from her daughter, Aldan's mother stopped teasing her.

She picked up a piece of freshly baked biscuit, pushed it into her mouth with her fingers, and then stood up calmly.

"You guys have fun, mom, I'm going back to the room first."

After saying this, she stopped staying any longer and left the room to Aotake Fuga and Mejiro Aldan.

"By the way, do you want to see Aldan when she was a child? She's very cute, isn't she?"

Just after the two thought she had left, she poked her head out of the crack in the door that had not been completely closed and said this to the black-haired horse girl sitting next to Aldan.

"mom!"

Mejiro Aldan's face turned red again, and he shouted to his mother in embarrassment.

...No, Fengya must not be allowed to see those photos!

"Okay, okay, I know, I know, I won't show it to her."

Seeing the angry expression on her daughter's face, the mother raised her hands in surrender, and then closed the door with a click.

"Really..."

Looking at the door being closed again, Mejiro Aldan sighed, then picked up a biscuit and put it into his mouth.

"Can't you watch it?"

However, just as she picked up the cup and moved it to her mouth, the words that suddenly came out of the mouth of the black-haired horse girl sitting next to her made her body tremble.

She turned her head and looked at the black-haired horse girl sitting next to her, staring at her eagerly.

"Feng...Fengya, do you want to see it?"

Mejiro Ardan, who was stared at by Qingzhu Fuga, looked away unnaturally.

"Hmm! I want to see it!"

After hearing what Mejiro Aldan said, Qingzhu Fengya nodded vigorously, with a look of anticipation on his face: "I want to see what you looked like when you were a child, Aldan!"

"But... but you are the only one who knows about my childhood. Isn't it unfair?"

Recalling that on his birthday, his mother was holding a photo album dug out of a cardboard box while looking at it while teasing Mejiro Aldan, covering his lips and coughing dryly. He quickly found a reason to try to get Qingzhu Fengya to give up the idea.

"Aldan, do you also want to know the old me?"

The black-haired horse girl, who didn't hear the blue-haired horse girl's intention at all, her eyes lit up: "...if Aldan Shi, that's okay?"

"So... Aldan, when do you want to hear me start talking?"

"Since when..."

Unexpectedly, the words he said in a hurry would get an unexpected answer. Mejiro Aldan stared at the black-haired horse lady sitting next to her, smiling and looking at her. After a few seconds, he answered: " ...Let’s start from what you want to tell me Fengya.”

"Eh? Let me do it myself?"

After hearing what Mejiro Aldan said, Qingzhu Fuga frowned, with a distressed expression on his face: "In this case, I don't know where to start."

"It doesn't matter, Feng Ya, just think about it slowly."

Mejiro Aldan comforted him: "I'm looking forward to the story you're going to tell next, Fengya."

"Hmm... In that case, I have to think carefully about where to start."

Qingzhu Fengya thought for a while, then snapped her fingers.

"I thought about it, let's start from... when I was taken in by everyone on the street!"

The black-haired horse girl said this sentence with a smile without any negative emotions: "Are you ready... to listen to the story of a girl as gorgeous as flying flowers?"

"of course."

Mejiro Aldan nodded, and then made a 'please' gesture to Qingzhu Fengya.

"I'm ready."

The blue-haired horse girl was full of curiosity about what kind of story she would hear next.

……

...It turns out that Fengya lived such a life before.

Mejiro Aldan couldn't help but think to himself as he listened to the black-haired horse girl sitting next to him recounting the things he had personally experienced bit by bit.

If the artistic processing at the beginning is removed, the story told by Qingzhu Fengya can be roughly summarized as being abandoned in a trash can, and then being found and taken in by people on the street.

Although she said these words with a smile, but...

Only she herself knows the emotions that flowed through her heart when she said these words, right?

Mejiro Aldan looked at the black-haired horse girl sitting next to him who took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and thought silently in his heart.

"what happened?"

Qingzhu Fengya, who was about to continue, was about to continue, but after seeing the blue-haired horse girl next to her keeping her eyes on her face, she blinked and asked doubtfully: "...My Are there cookie crumbs on your face?”

"……Not."

Mejiro Aldan shook his head: "I'm looking forward to the story you haven't finished yet Fengya."

"Oh, as a storyteller, I'm really happy to hear this~?"

Qingzhu Fengya was very happy when she heard her friend say this.

She cleared her throat and continued to tell her story in a more excited tone.

Mejiro Aldan, on the other hand, sat beside her, as a listener, quietly listening to her continue speaking.

Qingzhu Fengya has a good storytelling ability.

As she told the story, she felt as if she had witnessed the dirty child that was fished out of the trash can grow up day by day, and finally turned into the black-haired horse girl sitting next to her.

Please save this school that is about to be abandoned! : Chapter 1: The winter vacation is about to end

"It's getting late, so I'll go back first~?"

Standing in front of the iron gate of Mejiro's house, Qingzhu Fengya smiled and waved to Mejiro Aldan and her mother who sent her here: "...Thank you for your hospitality. I had a great time today."

"Are you really not going to stay and have dinner before leaving?"

Ma Niang, who was standing next to Aldan, looked down at her daughter and saw that she was just smiling and waving to the black-haired Ma Niang not far away. She could only ask: "If you go home to cook now, don't you?" Will it be late?"

"Huh? It's okay."

However, Qingzhu Fengya shook her head indifferently: "... Anyway, I'm the only one at home, so it doesn't matter how late I get home."

Although she said that, after looking up at the darkening sky above her head, the black-haired horse girl finally said, "I'll go back first," and left in a hurry.

"Then the child lives alone?"

Aldan's mother saw Qingzhu's graceful figure disappearing from her sight and glanced at her daughter beside her: "Did the child's parents travel abroad?"

"She...was abandoned as a child."

Aldan shook his head and replied.

"……being abandoned?"

Aldan's mother was stunned when she heard her daughter say this, and then a surprised expression appeared on her face: "This child was abandoned when he was a child?"

"why?"

"Mom, isn't this question very rude?"

Mejiro Aldan, who heard his mother ask this question, reminded: "...Next time Fuga comes to our house, don't say this to her, okay?"

"Sorry, sorry, I said it subconsciously because I was so surprised."

After reacting, Aldan's mother apologized and stared at her daughter with a thoughtful expression: "But, next time..."

"……What's wrong?"

Mejiro Aldan asked confused.

"Aldan... in what capacity do you want her to come next time?"

Then Mejiro Aldan heard her mother say these words.

"Mom...Mom, what are you talking about?"

Hearing the implication of his mother's words, Mejiro Aldan's eyes began to wander around.

"Don't you understand? Then let me put it more directly."

Aldan's mother put a hand on her daughter's shoulder: "When are you going to propose to that child?"

"Wait...Mom, what are you talking about?!"

Aldan's expression became panicked when he heard his mother expose his own eyes bluntly: "Fengya is only a 16-year-old child now, she is not an adult yet!"

"It's a crime to do that!"

"It's okay, won't she be an adult in another year or two?"

"...Is this what you should say?"

Mejiro Aldan said helplessly: "Moreover, this kind of thing should only be carried out with the consent of both parties, right?"

"So, you don't deny that you really like that child?"

After hearing her daughter say these words, Aldan's mother smiled and asked with a smile: "It seems I was right?"

"Ah."

Mejiro Aldan nodded, confirming what his mother said.

"I'll just say it."

Seeing her daughter nodding, Aldan's mother suddenly became interested, hugged her and said, "Let me tell you, I was like this when I first fell in love with your dad."

"I used to..."

"Mom, you've said this many times."

The expression on Mejiro Aldan's face became increasingly helpless: "How many times do you want to say it again?"

"I won't get tired of saying it no matter how many times I say it."

Aldan's mother touched her face with one hand and looked happy: "...because the day I got married to your father was the happiest day in my life, mom."

"Yes, yes, I know."
