You know, I'm not a regular bad girl.

Club Suyi Kurizu , is that right?

One day the winter deepened, in the house of the Huang family.

At the beginning of the year, seeing the face of her eleventh niece, Silk Hideo, who was the Empress but had traveled to her parents' house, showed a painting to Ling Lin, who was very good at tilting her neck.

"That's right. In the countries of the west, they say they will dedicate their gratitude to the heavens for having spent a year safely through such festivals just before New Year's Eve.Give your Majesty a picture depicting Suyi Club as a souvenir.This is so beautiful that I came to show it to you. "

"Well, auntie.Thank you very much. "

Ling Lin smiled fluffily with a tone that left her a little bit young.

There, Silk Hideo glanced at her sister, who was known to be a good man.

Huang Linglin is a treasure of the Huang family.It has a young but finished beauty and a calm personality.

While displaying the superior talent scale in the chess painting "Kinki", he does not overlook it, but constantly refreshes his attitude and lovely smile.

Everyone in the Huang family loves Ling Lin, which is no exception to Silk Hideo, the Empress.

Therefore, she, who left her guardian to herself, occasionally stretched out her feet to the mansion, giving gifts and teaching her without saying anything.

"Here, take a look.There's a big tree with stars on top, isn't there?It seems that this is a tree with divine powers.They're going to enjoy decorating this in the room for the rest of the time.I thought it would be fun to imitate it, and I arranged trees in your room for a homecoming souvenir.You can decorate it later as you like. "

Silk Hideki has the power to roar, and the way to choose souvenirs is gorgeous.

"Well! Thank you.But what if I let the trees fall from the west...?

"No, we won't make it.I thought I could do anything with a tree that I had thrown away, so I left it loose. "

However, the attention to detail was also miscellaneous.

"Speaking of which, I don't really know the kind of decorations from the pictures.We arranged the red and white cakes together for the first time, so you can stab them. "

"Well, it feels good to be happy.Perfect for the Spring Festival.That's my aunt. "

The purpose of the tree "Tree" changed considerably due to the miscellaneous considerations of Silk Hide, but Ling Lin raised her eyes and put her hands together.

"All right, Ling Lin.Tonight, put white socks on the pine branches and go to bed early.That way, the next morning, the good boy will get a happy gift. "

"Really!?

"Ah. I don't know what to say, Santa... Kura, Kuro... anyway, a fairy dressed in red has arrived, and she's delivering a gift worthy of her.I thought it would be interesting, and my concubine contacted the old man in secret.They're riding a deer through the night sky and giving me a gift to this mansion. "

Even the memory of the name is vague, but it seems that I tried to make Silk Hideo a dream for my children anyway.

The innocent Ling Ling rounded her eyes and excited the person who had been named "The Red Old Man".

"Thank you very much.Red clothes... I wonder if he changed his calendar.Or do you have an affair with the Zhu family...?

"Oh, maybe.The Zhu family is also active in interacting with the West. "

"This is my first time visiting someone else's house.We have to make sure we don't. "

"No, because that fairy already knows all the good and evil things that children do.You don't have to fix it any more now.Ling Lin, if you dive into the bed early, you'll get a gift. "

Anyway, it is a human job to actually deliver the gift, so Ling Lin can't accept it.

Silk Hideki subtly encouraged her to go to bed early, but her lovely niece asked with a faint voice, clouding her expression.

"... a good boy has a gift.So, Auntie, what happens to bad kids?

"Lin Lin?

"The aunt has always said that good and evil, shadow and sun, evil and blessings are one and the same, and cannot be cut off.Then something must happen to the bad kid more than the good kid gets a gift. "

With a light of intelligence in her eyes, Lin Lin told her with a serious face. Basically, Silk Hideo nodded back "I see" with a true face.

I was also glad that my teachings were steadily taking root.

"I'm sure, 'I don't like bad kids!"When the child is judged to be malignant while screaming, the immortal will immediately turn into a demon and take the child away."

The Red Old Man "Santa Claus" was somehow added to the elements of the Togoku Onigami "Nahara".

Honest Ling Lin said, "Well...!"He shouted and moistened his big eyes with fear.

"What do you mean?However, if you are the person to nourish your child, I feel that you can still convince him or her of your existence.To be honest, I thought it would be too convenient for an old man to give a gift to a child of another family without paying for it.... "

"Yes, I love your innocence, but strangely realistic."

Huang family members place more weight on physical sensation than on theory, and do not believe much in anything other than what they touch with their own hands.

In other words, it was terribly realistic, believing in fantasies, and even bad at breathing in.This is the limit of the conversation between two superstitious women.

However, Ling Lin, who was slightly more likely to be deceived because of her childhood, believed in the presence of the old man Red Red in that she would punish the bad boy, and proposed with a voice that was about to disappear.

"... Auntie.In that case, I might be taken away by an old red man.... "

"What do you mean?

Ling Lin burst into tears as she opened her eyes to unexpected remarks.

"Actually... yesterday, oniisama told me that throwing pots was the best way to focus, and he taught me how to do it, but this was really fun.Even though I promised only half an hour, oniisama kept playing with me secretly after she left..... "

A throwing pot is originally a leisure party, where an arrow is thrown into a pot placed away, and a person who does not enter drinks a punishment cup.

Silk Hide sighed deeply at her nephews who taught her sister the leisure at the bar, but Ling Lin, who liked the authentic repetitive work, seemed to like it as a workout.

"When it hits the center of the bottom, the arrow makes an unspeakably beautiful sound.Even though there are different movements in the sound of Kaburaya and Soya, if you are obsessed with it, it will be dusk.... "

Lin covered her face with both sleeves to be ashamed.

"When I looked at the bottom, there was a pot that was more important to me than your father."

"Don't do it!

Silk Hideo was more impressed than stunned and hit her on the knee.

The Huang family is a family that loves hard work and guts.

I was no longer impressed by my niece, who threw arrows and broke the bottom of a hard pot.

"Yes, I did.It was a pot that your father deliberately made for famous pottery, but if you come with me, it will hurt you..... "

"What are you talking about? It is not a scratch.It's proof of your guts.Your guts just broke through the clay and embodied it in the form of wounds.You don't have to worry about it. "

Silk Hide sifted a hot valve based on mysterious theory, but Ling Lin, who was completely depressed, kept her eyes moist, so she decided to change the direction of her defense.

"Basically, I scratched the pot a little bit, so what's wrong with it?What about your brothers?When they were young, they broke the curtains, broke the beds, and fell down the pillars, and were a lot of wicked children.If the old man Red Red takes him away, he'll definitely be with your brothers. "

"Eh...?

Ling Lin took a breath.

However, at least because Ling Lin's face rose as a result, Silk Hide gently stroked her chest down.

"Anyway. A nice gift will come to you, a good boy.No, my concubine doesn't know what's in it, does she?I don't know, definitely.Don't worry, you should go to bed early tonight. "

…………

Ling Lin seemed to have thought about something, but Silk Hideo left the room in the middle of the conversation.

Well, it's late that night.

Even though the cold was severe, a young man who had sneaked into the house of the Huang family from the back door without receiving the hospitality of fire asked his mother with a white breath.

"- So, why do I have to dress up like this' old red man ', Mother?"

"I don't think a woman can be as powerful as a cactus."

It was in the early days\ 23597; light that Silk Hideo forced me to wear red clothes.

No, at the beginning of this year, he will be sixteen. He is already a prestigious young man with a style as a prince.

Until the New Year's Day, he was busy with his royal duties, but in the meantime, his mother forcibly took him away to the Huang family "only tonight" and stood in the hallway of the mansion without even going through the main gate.

"How many sons of heaven are you not yet fifteen children?These night games are important.After a few years, the chick's house will open and five women will have to be petted.Don't waste the opportunity to let the woman you like receive as much as you want. "

"The woman I liked... Ling Lin is still ten years old"

"You like it."

\ 23597 murmured evilly; and Silk Hideo returned slightly.

It was always known in the Huang family that on the Qing Dynasty of this year, Ming visited the Mansion with his mother; Ming was taken away by Ling Lin, who danced.

If she were a woman, it would be 23597; only Ling Lin was inside Ming's dragon mind.

And he likened the beautiful maiden to a cuckoo, untouched by anything.

Since then, it seems that she has been sending sentences and gifts without asking for anything, but she was worried about Silk Hideki not making progress with her friends.

"Ling Lin is young and adorable, but she doesn't give out her weakness or sweetness.Oh, his honest face will only be seen when he's asleep. "

…………

At the same time, Ming glanced at Silk Show showing how she thought of Ling Lin as her aunt.

Eventually, when she took a breath, she wrapped her red clothes around her body and walked down the hallway.

The cold air from the floor soaked into her feet, which she took off so that she could not make a sound.

All right. My concubine is hiding on this side of the clash, so you're going to circle into the pine tree and put cheeks in the white sock "Tsukita".If you are sleeping too well, wake up with a little finger when you leave.Then there was the sound of your red clothes and your concubine's bell sneaking in your sleepy eyes. "

"Yes, yes, I've heard it a dozen times, so please shut up, Mother."

\ 23597; Ming slashes Silk Hideo whispering softly.

After keeping him quiet, he carefully stepped into Ling Lin's sleeping room.

(Though young, how about sneaking into a girl's sleeping room...)

Though she had a complicated feeling in her heart, she was certainly worried about Lin's sleeping face.

For Ming, Lin Lin, who always seemed to be perfectly controlling her emotions, knew only the face of the woman who stared at her gently. At the same time, it was interesting that she remembered the frustration.

A clever cousin with a grown-up smile.

I wonder if she looks as honest as she should be when she's asleep.

"--I was in town."

However, instead of lying down, I saw the person on the bedside sitting on his seat,\ 23597; Akechi was exhausted.

(Waking up!?

No, on the contrary, for some reason, I hold the dagger "Aikuchi" firmly in front of my chest.

With a sleepy white coat, and a giant pine tree placed behind him, Ming forced his face into an impetuous appearance.

"Red old man.I see you have taken my brothers with you as a sign of a pine tree.But oniisama, I can't...!

"No, I don't need it!

Without knowing why this happened, Ling Lin unexpectedly screamed back and opened her eyes and tilted her neck.

…… Cousin...?

Apparently, I realized from my voice that it was\ 23597; bright.

Akan,\ 23597; Ming!

Hearing the whisper from behind and turning around, Silk Hideo, hidden in the impulse, commanded sharply with a very low voice.

Deception!

What do you want me to do?

Always a mother is an impossible creature.

"Oniisama, why are you here...?

Hearing Lin murmuring strangely,\ 23597; Ming answered aggressively.

"Wow, I'm an old man in red.I'm borrowing this man's body now. "

"... ufufu!

Behind your back, you can hear Silk Hideo's voice, as if he was wearing his teeth with laughter.

No, it seemed like she was trembling indefinitely, and her bell rang... shh shh shh shh shh shh.

"Well, how are you...?Um, what's the sound of this bell...?

"Deer. There's a bell around my neck."

When Ming answered, Ling Lin nodded convincingly.

"How are you?I was surprised that the old man Red Red would manipulate the magic of the flesh... but it might be easier for you to be in this mansion than the old man from another country.If your family finds you, they won't catch you first. "

The way to convince is strangely realistic.

But Ling Lin raised her eyebrows there and kept worrying.

"However, manipulating the body of the imperial family is a serious crime in this country.I know you have some manners, old man Red, but please leave as soon as possible. "

"Ah... ahh"

"Your cousin's body is particularly respected in Wing County.It's hard to walk out on such a cold night and catch a cold. "

\ 23597; Ming was struck by Ling Lin's serious appearance.

It seems strange to believe in an old man who is completely red and red, and his appearance is adorable to worry about punishment and physical condition, and it seems likely to be dangerous.

When this happened, I decided that I had no choice but to do it, and I coughed lightly.

I see. Let's get this done and get out of here as soon as possible.Huang Linglin. You behave yourself every day, and your temper is fresh and refreshing.Therefore praise it and reward it from the old man Red Red. "

"Yes, no. You can give me a gift.Besides, oniisama....?Red Old Man, will those who do evil be taken away...?

The cheeks that settled in the shell were blind, and Ling Lin was only worried about her brother's fate. It was strange.

\23597; Ming was distracted because he could wait for it to erupt.

"Ayara was an evil child who could not be saved, but in recent years, there are attractions such as serving the owner of this body.On condition that I remain faithful to the Crown Prince, I will drop the punishment tonight. "

"Great....!I'll tell you what to say...!

Hmm.

\ 23597; Ming nodded deeply with the meaning of hiding his mouth that would loosen up.

Even from the impulse, a small bell rings.

Anyway, the Huang family loved this lovely princess.

"Now, before this body catches a cold, let's say the pigeon leaves.Look, Huang Linglin.Good boy, take this blush. "

"Um... but I can give you such a gift..."

Ling Lin still looks reluctant when she reappears at the gift.

\23597; Akira took his hand forcefully, and put the shell on the little palm.

"Huang Linglin. You deserve it."

"Um...."

"Don't hesitate. You'd better be honest.It's about showing your feelings or accepting favors from others. "

And I'll tell you what I've been thinking about this girl ever since I met her.

Ling Lin is brilliant.And the core is strong.

The weaker you are, the more you know you're worried about your surroundings, the more you keep smiling.

However, seeing its unwavering smile, brittleness and back-to-back strength,\ 23597; Ming and his surroundings cannot help but think.

Be more honest.

No more hesitation.

I want you to show me the weakness and the shame.

Ling Lin's slender fingers shook her eyes, causing her to grip the shell.

"Take it."

"Thank you..."

When she nodded satisfactorily to the opponent who attracted the cheeks, she turned her heel back.

Bye.

Um!

But Ling Lin stepped forward and stopped her.

She took something out of the cabinet under the bedding, and gave it to\ 23597; Ming.

"If you don't mind, please keep this item."

"Is this... a neck cloth?

"Yes, I heard you were here at night, so I thought it would be cold, and I was very gentle... and prepared for my hospitality.I don't know who the old man is, but I embroidered him with a pattern that suits everyone. "

Apparently Ling Lin, who was afraid of her brother's abduction, was taking both a strategy to fight with a dagger and a strategy to be gentle with a gift.

"I packed a small amount of charcoal and sparks to keep you warm, so please take them with you.Also, dried rice that is easy to carry [I want], roasted Japanese root to prevent colds, chrysotile stones, and more... "

Linen bags carefully color-coded with strings come out of the cabinet one after the other.

"Please give this potato to the deer."

"Is there a deer?"

If you want to shoot the general, shoot the horse first, is that the spirit?

To my cousin, who had prepared a bag of potatoes for the deer, \23597; Akira whispered unexpectedly.

When I noticed it, I held the load in both hands; it was clear, but there was no way that I could still show myself wandering in front of Ling Lin.

He held a large amount of hemp bags that he lifted and walked out of the room with as much haste as he could.

"Go to bed soon."

"Yes, Old Red, please be careful on your way home."

While listening to such a reply behind my back.

"'Huh'... 'I'm borrowing this man's body'... cum"

"Mother, stop laughing."

Even after leaving Ling Lin's bedroom and settling in the guest room, she was still shaking her shoulders,\ 23597; Ming became the top of the Buddha.

"Originally speaking, it's probably caused by her miscellaneous progress, laughing at the efforts of desperately standing around."

"I mean, you... no, you're right.I'm sorry about this mother.Forgive me. "

Silk Sue wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and finally smiled.

"Nevertheless, Ling Lin often prepared that kind of bribe in such a short time."

"You must have been desperate.The combination of being susceptible to being deceived and being full of solutions is something strange. "

\23597; Ming placed the sack on the floor, loosened his cheeks and looked down at it.

"Do you want to return the potatoes and charcoal to the chef?But he's a smart kid.I'm sure I'm counting the potatoes, and if I do that, the truth will come out. "

"That's right...."

\23597; Ming kept an eye on the mountain potatoes while hammering his mother.

Then thinking a little bit, I basically took one of them.

"This is the wall to the west...."

And when he glanced at the wall peeking through the window, he saw what he thought, raw potatoes roasted.

"Hey,\ 23597; Ming?What's the matter with you?

"It's about her.Tomorrow, the old man will try to find out if he really drives the deer.Please tell your family not to let yourself up on the roof. "

Then he threw the potatoes out the window.

The potato was stuck to the wall tile beautifully, and it looked like a deer running through the sky had eaten the potato and spilled it.

"I'll take the rest of the potatoes and charcoal home."

\23597; Ming raised one cheek and smiled bitterly.

Unfortunately, I can't use my neck cloth in front of Lin Lin.

"You...."

Silk Hideki leaks his breath and puffiness.

Before being made a fool of,\ 23597; Ming restrained himself with a careless voice.

"I know what fools do, so don't say anything."

"No, no, my mother is impressed."

Silk Sue was unusual and laughed kindly at her son.

I wonder if this is also the blood of the Huang family.My concubine looks a few steps better than your day-to-day little clever self. "

"... please don't underestimate my son's efforts to act as Crown Prince."

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

The pleasant laughter of Silk Hideki melts gently into the late night air.

The winter stars shining in the night sky poured a thin light into Lin Lin's room, where she held the shell to her chest and slept, as well as into the rooms of the laughing Silk Suites.

"After all, no matter what I think, I'm not convinced!

It is a warehouse on the outskirts of Zhu Koma Palace.

Lily, who was harvesting potatoes under the sunshine and sweating, looked back at the Lord with momentum.

"Chick. You're a chick, right?The day before the Chinese New Year ritual, if other palaces should devote themselves to skin care, why are we digging potatoes at all?Between dance lessons and other exercises!

"Well, Lily.The more you hurry to harvest, the more fortunate you are to be fed. "

"No, that's not it!The chicks and the girl beside them said it was strange to be working in the field!

Lily couldn't help but scream.

After deportation, Zhu Huiyue lived in an inconvenient warehouse.

There is only one woman, Lily, and instead of dressing up, she has to take care of everything on her own.

"I've adapted too much, and I forgot to penetrate at some point.Isn't this obviously strange?Isn't that an excessive sanction?Commander Eagle is right, shouldn't we protest!?

"Yes... but I'm not particularly handicapped.Hey? "

Lily was delighted, but her husband just put his hand on her cheek in trouble.

"No, feel the inconvenience, where is it!?In general, even if we don't protest, it's obviously a tragic situation at first glance.Why should His Highness leave him alone while he knows what he's up to?Isn't your reputation as fair and generous actually a lie...!?

"Hey, Lily, it's disrespectful."

Emotions tend to be preceded by the sex of the Zhu family.

Ling Lin, who looked at Zhu Huiyue, who revealed her anger with disrespectful words, was comfortably embarrassed.

"Your Highness, as Crown Prince, must guide the chicks of this chick palace fairly.There must be no easy forgiveness for the disturbed chick with a moment of sympathy. "

"But no matter how much order I keep... I've already finished my veterinary interrogation, it's not easy to leave a woman in such a malicious environment.I admit he's strict in order, but he's ruthless. "

Lily was told that while her tone of voice was weak, she was still complaining and sharpened her lips.

But Ling Lin, who heard that, dropped her gaze on the potato in her palm and smiled.

"No, that's not true, Lily."

For some reason, I stroke the muddy potatoes with love.

"Your Highness is only strictly restrained to fulfill his duties as Crown Prince.The truth is, you're a very kind and loving person. "

"Really... really?

"Yes. - Oh, yes, Lily."

Ling Lin asked Lily, who nodded in doubt in the middle.

"Would potatoes be delicious if they were roasted raw?"

"Hah!? I'm not a horse or a deer, and I don't do that.You must be hungry!

"... I see."

Lily looked suspiciously at her master, who finally covered her mouth with both hands and smiled.

"What the hell?

"No, I just thought that His Highness was really kind.I believed it for three years. "

"Yes? I have no idea what that means."

Leaving the half-eyed chick in vain, the giggled chick just laughed.

Just as the starry night melted in the sky, the gentle laughter that rolled the bell in the summer pear garden always echoed.
