Knock knock!

The sound of feet stepping on the floor, someone quickly approaching the room along the corridor.

Although the anger in his chest is about to explode, he must try to restrain his anger so as not to accidentally blow the whole house away.

Before opening the door, be mentally prepared.

What I thought in my heart was that the next step was to chop up the dog men and women who dared to steal without her permission into a few pieces.

Wow - forcefully opened the door roughly, not caring whether the material of the door could withstand her force, anyway, when the door was opened, there was a terrible crack in the door wall.

Because of Liuli's rough movements when she entered the door, the two people in the room were also startled.

However, the imaginary unbearable picture has not developed into reality, it is better to say that the two people are very honest and responsible in the room.

Ayane just sat on the edge of the bed with a chair, and didn't even go up to the bed, and her clothes were neatly put on her body, and there was no sign of messiness.

She took a spoon to feed Shiraishi hot rice porridge, as if she was taking care of the patient.

Liuli couldn't see anything on his face, not so much angry, but using his aura to shock the people in the room.

"I just remembered that Shiraishi-kun was home alone, so I just came over to deliver some lunch. But I didn't do anything...... Are you angry? ”

Ayane put down the spoon and bowl of hot rice porridge and spoke to Ruri in a calm tone.

"Nope. I just think you'll be able to tell me ahead of time when you come. And it doesn't take that long to feed. ”

Ruri also responded in the same tone.

Although it was just a normal exchange, Shiraishi could feel the strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

"Regarding this, it is really difficult for Baishi-kun to be gracious, and he has been pulling and not letting me go. I'm also very distressed about this kind of thing, so I stayed a little longer. ”

Ayane said with a smile.

"Didn't you stay here with a dead face and not leave?"

"Is there such a thing? Shiraishi-kun, a man can't lie to a woman. ”

Ayane tilted her head sideways, showing a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what Shiraishi was talking about.

"Alright, Ruri, nothing really happened to us. Take her out, I want to be alone for a while. ”

Shiraishi rubbed his eyebrows, very troubled by this stiff atmosphere.

The more Ayane was allowed to describe it, the worse it felt like the end of the matter would be.

This woman's ability to reverse black and white in her own face can be carried out without changing her face.

If you are a little ashamed, you will not have a word of truth in your mouth.

Moreover, he finally has a cold and can rest happily for a day, but he doesn't want to be so stiff that he can't rest quietly all day because of this kind of thing.

Just think about me as a wounded person before you come. Shiraishi looked at Ayane with a complaining look.

It's not so much to make Ruri angry, it's better to deliberately let him rest badly.

And the source of this resentment, Shiraishi can probably understand.

And so, a sense of guilt welled up in my heart.

While Baishi was thinking about these things, Ruri took a deep breath and said, "It's okay for you to continue to talk here alone, I'm not so stingy yet." ”

Leaving this sentence behind, he walked out of the room, with the same cold attitude as usual.

It's just, about ten seconds after Liuli walked out of the room, boom-

The whole room, no, the whole house built on the ground, and the foundation beneath the house, was subjected to an incomparably terrifying impact.

In the panic and screaming, the whole house tilted thirty degrees, and Shiraishi, as the wounded, rolled down from the bed in embarrassment, lying on all fours.

"What the hell—"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sound of vibration from above.

Shiraishi had a premonition that something was wrong and looked overhead.

The ceiling cracked with a huge opening, and stones fell from above.

The entire house was reduced to rubble.

Shiraishi and Ayane were directly buried by a large number of stones.

Passing by here, the old man walking the dog turned his head to look at the collapsed house, and then continued to walk forward with a calm expression.

The dog barked twice.

◎

After a cold afternoon of blowing and moving into a new single-family villa at night, Shiraishi felt that his cold was a little more serious.

The plan to use the cold to recuperate has come to naught, but after the turmoil of the afternoon, the evening can finally be quiet.

Why don't you take a break tomorrow to make up for not being able to take a good vacation today.

It's just that when he was sleeping at night, Shiraishi found that the glass next to the pillow was staring at him without blinking.

Inside the eyes, which are like deep lakes, is an icy color that makes the back of the white stone chill.

"Ruri, what's wrong?"

Shiraishi was a little drumming in his heart.

Because of the deepening of the cold, he speaks with a strong nasal voice.

"I'm thinking about whether or not to strangle you with my hands now."

Ruri said in a cold tone.

Don't say such terrible things at night. Bai Shi's heart was even colder, as if the cold ice and snow had melted into his bones, and that cold and biting feeling was biting.

When Shiraishi was about to answer, his waist was suddenly twisted hard.

"It hurts!"

Shiraishi couldn't help but cry out, suppressing his voice.

Even though he only touched his waist, which was twisted painfully, Shiraishi could feel that it had turned blue-purple.

It's true.

Just as Shiraishi was about to say something, Ruri's body also moved, and she sat on Shiraishi's body, the nails of her hands sunk deep into Shiraishi's neck.

"Why can't you take care of your lower body?"

"I'm sincere with you, you're the best woman."

Shiraishi hurriedly said.

This statement is true, and it is also a word that comes from the heart.

"Is Ayane too?"

"Hmm......"

Have a bone in one's throat.

But what's wrong with thinking about men being? I just don't want to live up to anyone's love.

After all, as men and women, they have grown up, and they will not be as secretive about their feelings as they used to be.

To themselves, they are all unique beings.

It can be done to die for them.

Even though I thought the same thing in my heart, after I said it, I felt that something terrible would happen.

"If you lie to me, you won't be spared. Kill you. ”

"I didn't lie to you."

"What about Ayane?"

The ten fingers are getting harder and harder.

There appears to be blood on the nails.

"It seems that you have no excuse to find, so I'll kill you tonight."

The murderous aura is revealed.

Shiraishi thought Ruri was joking at first, but at this moment he realized that Ruri didn't seem to be joking with him, but for real.

The wind and snow outside seemed to be louder.

……

When I woke up in the morning, the stove was still burning, and unlike the cold outside, it was warm here.

Shiraishi's cold is still not good, and he has very serious dark circles around his eyes.

The woman who was holding him to sleep without any clothes also opened her eyes at this time, exhaled a hot breath with a fragrance, and asked in his ear, "How many times were you 'killed' by me last night?" ”

“……”

My whole body aches and I don't want to speak.

Seeing that Shiraishi didn't answer, he also knew that he was too overworked at night and had a serious lack of sleep time.

But even so, Ruri didn't pity him, but used a ruthless attitude to destroy his body to the fullest.

"I almost thought I was really dead."

After a long time, Shiraishi sighed tiredly.

"It's best if a man like you who pedals two boats dies."

Liuli glared at him coldly, ignoring the man's complaints.

This man, like the white-eyed woman, could not spit a word of truth out of his dog's mouth.

It's all bad together.

Shiraishi didn't refute, yes, he was a mean man.

He turned around and took Ruri's body in his arms, one hand caressing her lower abdomen.

"I didn't do safety measures yesterday, will I get pregnant?"

"Don't worry, the day the child is born, I will kill the man you have a heart for."

"Don't kill, don't kill, saying this kind of thing all the time will bring misfortune."

"I hate you."

Shiraishi held Ruri tighter in his arms, letting her head rest against her chest.

"Then hate me for the rest of your life, but I will love you for the rest of my life."

Ruri didn't know whether to be happy or angry, if he was locked in the basement of his home when he was a child and didn't let him go out, there wouldn't be so many things.

So, he opened his mouth and bit down hard with his teeth on Shiraishi's bare shoulder.

◎

The night of the festival.

A new year has begun.

The weather gets a little colder in January, but the atmosphere in the city takes away the cold and brings a warm atmosphere.

Speaking of which, the New Year's Chinese New Year's Eve festival in the country of ghosts is really very different from Konoha.

Konoha's Chinese New Year's Eve Festival, to put it bluntly, does not have any special events worthy of praise.

It's nothing more than going out to go shopping and eating, watch some excitement, and some juggling that I don't know from which country, while making others laugh, it also makes Shiraishi feel that Konoha lacks his own cultural heritage.

Even the Land of Fire has a large-scale festival where the daimyo specially invite authentic monks from the Temple of Fire to the capital to hold an event.

In Shiraishi's view, unique culture is not only to deepen people's belief in a certain existence, but also to strengthen people's cohesion and identity with the 'organization'.

Although Konoha is a ninja village in the Land of Fire, it never holds ceremonial activities for monks, and in a sense, Konoha and the country of Fire do not have the same faith.

Not only Konoha, but also the rest of the ninja villages and countries.

From this point of view, the ninja village and the state are a long-term and effective contract, or an alliance of interests, rather than co-governance, and there is no unity of power.

The country of ghosts is a country without a daimyo.,The military power.,Politics.,The economy.,All of them are in the hands of the shrine girl herself.。

It can be seen that this country has its own charm for witches or mystical cultures, rather than copying things from other countries at the most important festival of the year.

On the main road of Shion City, in addition to pedestrians dressed normally, there are many people dressed in strange costumes, surrounded by the lively atmosphere of the festival.

In contrast, the three of Shiraishi, Ruri and Ayane, who were just wearing masks and covering their faces, were mixed in the crowd, but they were ordinary images.

The owner of the open-air grilled octopus balls is dressed as a ghost.

The front of the clothing store is illuminated with eerie lights, rendering the entrance like a haunted house, attracting people's curiosity.

There are also little girls wearing witch costumes running past with imperial coins in their hands, presumably to kill demons.

The mystical culture of ghosts is particularly prominent.

It is the first time to participate in this kind of festival, and it is inevitable that you will be a little curious.

A huge moon in the sky shone on the snow-covered roads of the city.

The road surface is smoother than in previous years, and the cityscape is cleaner, which will also motivate people to hold festivals.

Not only the local cultural activities of ghosts and shrine maidens in the country of ghosts, but also the participation of foreign merchants in this festival will also bring the characteristics of their own country, but it will not dominate the guests, which is why it seems to have a romantic feeling of a hundred flowers blooming.

"It's much more lively than Konoha."

Ayane said this as she looked at the lively but orderly festival wearing a pink yukata and a rabbit mask on her face.

Of course. Shiraishi responded silently in his heart.

From the moment he came to the country of ghosts, he continued to invest a lot of money, invited professional engineers to come over to renovate, and also invested a large number of engineering ninjas, so that this year's festival was a little different.

Originally, as the capital of a country, Aster City was already a relatively prosperous large city, but after a new round of transformation, if it couldn't even compare to Konoha would, it would be too much shame to have invested a lot of money and manpower in it.

Ruri didn't speak, but her eyes were also attracted by the dazzling array in front of her.

Unlike Ayane, she wears a moon-white yukata and a brightly colored fox mask to hide her face.

The trio participated in this kind of festival for the first time, and they didn't have any goals, just wandering around.

When you're tired, sit on a bench on the side of the road and rest on the snowy path, commenting on people in fancy costumes.

Continue walking to the center of the shopping street.

There is a huge open space there, and there is a very high and gorgeous stage on the open space.

Shrine maidens, a large number of shrine maidens dressed in red, white and pure white clothes dance on stage.

The sound of the flute is heard in the air, and it is a lively and tranquil atmosphere.

The whispers of the people were drowned out by the sound of the flute.

The shrine maidens begin to dance on the stage, wearing bright red lipstick on their mouths, and wearing ornaments on their heads and clothes, or bells that can be sounded when they swing their bodies.

The shrine maiden wearing the pure white shrine maiden costume stopped dancing and spread out in the outer circle, allowing the shrine maiden wearing the red and white shrine maiden costume to continue dancing in the circle.

They closed their eyes and raised the seven knives in their hands, as if performing a sacred prayer ceremony.

Then the seven knives burned with brilliant flames, illuminating the surroundings and causing cheers from the people.

Their movements are elegant, their expressions are solemn and sacred, and their dances are all in one go, and they are all excellent shrine maidens selected from each shrine in the country of ghosts, and then they gather here to perform the annual blessing ceremony for the country of ghosts.

Snowflakes fall in the night sky, and it looks like countless feathers flying in the air, and then fall silently on the stage.

The snowflakes and the dance of the shrine maidens are combined.

Seeing this beautiful scene, people also forget the cold of the winter night, and their hearts and shrine maidens have begun to dance together, praying for a happy life in the coming year, family reunion, and then cleansing their hearts of filth and impurity, and then starting the new year.

"Shiraishi-kun, you're stunned. I didn't say yes to you a few times. ”

Shiraishi, who came back to his senses, found that Ruri and Ayane were both staring at him with unkind eyes.

"I was praying for you just now."

After all, there were so many cute girls dancing together, and he, like the crowd around him, had just undergone a spiritual purification ceremony.

That's right, that's it. It's never too beautiful to be stunned.

"Damn! Is there another woman in my heart? ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!"

A cold sweat flowed from Shiraishi's face, he was just appreciating the good, why did Ayane come to such a conclusion?

"Where is this sacred and solemn prayer ceremony, I think this is obviously a seduction ceremony!"

Ayane was even more angry.

Ruri's eyes are getting worse and worse.,Although I don't like Ayane very much.,But I think she's right.。

This is not a sacred blessing ritual at all, but a ritual to seduce men.

Especially this kind of man who always likes to ripple physically and mentally, and is not firm, is even more easy to be seduced.

"Let's go!"

Ayane took Shiraishi's arm and walked in one direction.

"Where?"

Shiraishi is full of question marks.

Ayane pointed to the clothing store nearby.

"Don't you just want to subdue the temptation, I'll wear the witch costume too!"

“……”

What's going on in this woman's head?

The key question is this?

Ten minutes later—

Ruri and Ayane, who had changed into shrine maiden costumes, stood in front of them.

Shiraishi covered his head, and he didn't know what to do.

"Sure enough, this kind of festival has a more sense of participation in wearing a witch costume."

Ayane spun around and began to look down at the shrine maiden costume on her body, as if she was satisfied.

For this, Shiraishi had no choice but to acquiesce.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat something."

Shiraishi said.

Then he didn't dare to spin around.

This is a festival in the country of demons, and there are many performances of shrine maidens praying for blessings, especially in the center of the shopping street, and the melodious sound of flutes can be heard everywhere from a distance.

The three of them entered a hot spring inn where they could enjoy a hot spring bath after filling their stomachs.

When I ordered, I also brought a few bottles of sake by the way.

The sound of the flute can be heard from outside, and there are shrine maidens dancing to pray for people's blessings.

I closed my eyes and slowly tasted the sake while listening to the sound of the flute, and then imagined Shiraishi dancing as a shrine maiden.

It seems that it is not bad to spend life like this.

But thinking about it, those dancing shrine maidens immediately turned into the appearance of Ruri and Ayane, and the fabric of the shrine maiden costume wrapped their pure bodies, dancing beautifully in front of them.

"Ahem!"

Shiraishi, who choked on drinking, immediately opened his eyes and coughed.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that the atmosphere of the table was not quite right.

I saw Ruri and Ayane glaring at each other viciously, and there were already several empty wine bottles next to them, and their faces were ruddy with drunkenness.

"If you can't drink too much, don't drink that much, and continue to participate in the festival after that."

Shiraishi looked at the two who were secretly fighting, thinking that he could spend his day safely and worry-free, but it seemed that he was thinking too much.

How could these two people and women coexist peacefully.

Sparks began to explode in the air where the sight docked.

"Oh, don't worry, Shiraishi-kun, I'm fine. Unlike someone, I'm a super good drinker, and I can't pour a thousand glasses. ”

Ayane holds the glass in her hand and drinks it down.

"I've heard that women with heavy boobs are terrible drinkers."

"Oh, are you jealous beyond recognition?"

Ayane straightened her chest, something fluttering in the light fabric.

"You're the one who is jealous. I was the one who won completely. Your ugliness is written all on your face. ”

With a contemptuous smile on her face, Ruri raised her glass quietly and gracefully and drank it.

Ayane exhaled deeply, her chest heaving and heaving, and you can imagine the extent of her mood fluctuations.

Then, three words came out of her mouth:

“…… Teapot lid. ”

The word 'well' appeared on his forehead, and this sentence stabbed Liuli's sore spot at once.

"Who is lying next to Shiraishi now? Can't you see with the whites of your eyes? ”

"Teapot lid."

“…… Sluts. ”

"Teapot lid."

White flashes of light streaked through the air.

The fork and knife collided, flashing fierce sparks.

"Well, I see you're all a little drunk, why don't you go to the hot springs first and calm down?"

Shiraishi was afraid that the two of them would be angry at such a time.

"Shiraishi-kun, just sit there."

"That's right, it's not that you can't control the lower half of your body."

"I've thought it's strange before, it's clear that I was the one who met Bai Shijun honestly first, and I was the first to kiss Bai Shijun, why are you just the teapot lid, you want to seduce Bai Shijun so shamelessly?"

Ayane took her anger out on Ruri.

The more I think about it, the more unwilling I become.

Took a heavy sip of wine.

"What's the practical point of what you say? You're the most shameless of all. ”

"Didn't you snatch love first?"

"Even if you snatch love with a knife, it can't change the fact that you are weaker than me. The unwilling face of the loser is really ugly. ”

"Use strength to determine strength or weakness, no wonder Shiraishi-kun is still reluctant to give up on the gentle me, with you, Shiraishi-kun must be under a lot of pressure."

Watching the two of them talk to each other-for-tat, staring at each other with their eyes staring at each other, and the firelight hitting each other in the air, it is estimated that they can make a fuss all night.

Shiraishi sighed softly.

Forget it, drink and drink.

The sound of the flute reached my ears, and the lively festival was still going on.

This year may be a year of peace.

◎

At noon, the sun was shining.

It was a beautiful day.

The lively festival has passed, and the Shion City looks quiet and empty during the day.

Something was arching in the quilt, and Liuli got out of bed, pulled the long hair behind her, picked up the clothes on the ground and began to put them on.

"Ruri, what time is it now?"

Shiraishi asked in a daze.

Because I drank too much with Ruri and Ayane in the hot spring hotel last night, my brain is a little dizzy now.

It was warm in the bed, and I didn't feel like I wanted to go out.

Anyway, it's the Chinese New Year, so you can rest for a few more days and don't have to be busy with work.

Liuli didn't answer, but said, "I'll go out and buy a house." ”

"Buying a house? What do you do when you buy a house? ”

Shiraishi was stunned, isn't the house he lives in now the house he just bought a few days ago?

It's only been a few days, how can you still buy it?

"This house is not clean, buy a new one to live in the celebration."

Liuli walked out expressionlessly, and her expression was still as cold as usual.

"Shiraishi-kun, what's wrong? Do you still want it? Don't, people can't do it last night......"

The voice came from the other side, the white arms around Shiraishi's neck, the eyes were half-open with difficulty, and the drunken red Ayane on her face let out a grinning laugh.

"Ayane? You ......"

Only then did Shiraishi realize that Ayane was also sleeping next to him, and his head hurt again.

Think about it carefully, because last night the three of them got drunk and then ......

Bai Shi's face suddenly turned pale.

"Ayane, hurry up!"

"Huh? What happened? ”

Ayane heard Shiraishi's panicked shouting, and rubbed her sleepy eyes half-propped up from the bed, wearing half-open pajamas.

"There's no time to explain, quick-"

Rumble!

The foundation collapsed, and the entire villa began to tilt thirty degrees due to the tremendous force, and the walls cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shiraishi and Ayane tumbled off the bed in a panic, and large rocks landed from above.

Ruri stood on the snowy road, looking at the ruined dwellings, her face expressionless.
