Chapter 52 When the smoke fills the forest
In the blink of an eye, their identities were all revealed.
Akanishi Yukino looked at her sister with an innocent smile next to her, feeling helpless in her heart.
When Chiyoko filled the bottle with oil, Chiba Yuki chatted with Sae with a smile on her face.
As they chatted, it didn't take long before he even knew the family's home address and work details...
If one of the two parties is the first to tell his/her information, the person he is talking to will also subconsciously tell the other party his/her information.
It's like a subconscious guidance.
Yukino, who was eating quietly next to her, felt that something was wrong the more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. Although she was only eight years old, she had been sensible since she was a child and felt that she should not let down her guard against strangers so easily.
Even though the other person is also a minor.
However, when she couldn't help but want to stop the two of them from chatting, another person next to her who had been silent suddenly spoke up——
"what you up to?"
"ah?"
Chiba Xing paused for a moment after being interrupted. He looked up at the man sitting next to Shayi's child.
He is a man with a tall and straight body, sitting seriously and with a strong face.
He doesn't seem to be very old, but because of his too formal sitting posture and his expressionless and tense face, he has a sense of incongruous maturity.
"What's wrong?" Chiba Xing tilted his head in confusion, and said with an embarrassed smile: "You don't seem to... like me very much?"
Those dark eyes were staring at him, emotionless but depressing.
"Oh, brother Jie is like this, you don't have to be so nervous~!" Shayi looked at the two people who were getting tense, and then smiled to smooth things over, "This guy always has a cold face, and many people will be scared.
Yeah, but actually Brother Jie is a very gentle person!"
However, Chiba Xing gradually became wary when he saw the other person staring at him...
I don't feel any tenderness at all.
...
At this time, during the laughter and laughter gathering at the barbecue, looking at the entire Untori Mountain, starting from the top of the mountain, a faint cloud of mist began to pour out, and quickly covered the mountains.
In EAD**, Shirley seemed to be on standby, sitting quietly behind the console, looking straight ahead with a pair of bluish eyes.
A bunch of systems were operating in an orderly manner on the operation panel, and suddenly a certain system panel appeared red.
A string of data flashed through Shirley's pupils. She lowered her head slightly and quickly typed in the test with her fingers. The results came out in a short while.
"Electromagnetic anomaly?"
Muttering softly, Shirley stared at the data and thought for a while, and finally judged that the anomaly was too minor and did not need to be reported for the time being.
The defense team went on an outing today. Wouldn't it feel good if everyone was called back for a trivial matter?
...
A light mist began to surround the entire Untori Mountain.
Chiba Yuki came here to borrow oil at first.
maybe...
But no matter what, it didn't seem to matter anymore, because he was sitting next to Shayi's child, chatting happily with the family while eating their barbecue.
"Let me tell you secretly, Brother Jie is really boring," Sae seemed to like Chiba Yuki very much. She was originally leaning on Akanisuke's arm and moved her little buttocks to Chiba Yuki's side with a smile on her face.
The sun is shining brightly, "When we met him a year ago, he looked like a clumsy idiot, very dull, and it was very interesting at the time."
"A year ago?" Chiba Xing raised an eyebrow.
"Ah, speaking of this..." Miss Chiyoko was baking food for everyone. When she heard this, she hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "It's true, at that time I asked him, 'Are you hungry?', and he actually said, 'Are you hungry?'"
What's the meaning';?"
"How should I answer, does 'GuluGulu~' mean?" Chiyoko couldn't help laughing as she spoke.
"Ha...that's really interesting."
Chiba Yuki twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his attention to Akanisuke, and then found that the guy's eyes had changed from wary to unkind, and he exuded a faint sense of low pressure...
However, Chiyoko didn't notice it at all and began to tell Chiba Yuki excitedly about the situation when she picked up Akanisuke.
A year ago, the man picked up by Akanishi Chiyoko...
He was lying on the roadside in rags and looked so miserable that people who didn't know better would have thought that the man was dead.
Miss Chiyoko was so generous that she took him back after finding out that this man was still alive.
Then I discovered that this man...actually lost his memory.
Amnesia to the point of losing all common sense!!
What is hunger?
Have a meal?
How to use chopsticks?
It's interesting, but...won't this family feel weird about this at all??
Ordinary people would never take in such a strange stranger at will, would they?!
Of course... most people probably wouldn't tell him all the information just after they met him.
"Hey, it's foggy?" Shayi leaned on Chiba Xing's arm while eating, looking around, and inadvertently saw the thick fog spreading from the dense forest behind.
"It's so strange this season." Yukino turned her head and glanced at it, and said casually.
She didn't pay much attention and helped her mother with the food.
Mist...?
Chiba Xing turned his head and looked behind him. A faint white mist emerged from the dense forest and began to spread over the entire barbecue area.
"These fogs are so strange." Akanisuke finally retracted his gaze from Chiba Yuki, looked at the fog, and said expressionlessly.
There is no emotion or fluctuation in the tone, which is really similar to Shirley's state.
"Well, the air has been very dry these days, which is not enough to form fog."
After just saying a few words, the scenery in the distance had already become hazy due to thick fog.
"Brother Jie, what are you talking about?" Shayi asked curiously as she watched the two of them talking to each other.
"It's nothing." Akanisuke looked away, reached out and touched Sayi's head.
Chiba Xing looked at the fog that had spread around him and raised his hand to touch it. However, he did not feel the coolness as expected. Instead, he felt a strange furry feeling.
It's like...contact with static electricity?
This is definitely not forest mist formed naturally by rising water droplets.
Chiba Xing pressed the switch of his glasses, intending to analyze what it was. However, after the virtual screen popped up, the data panel was in chaos, and it creaked and disconnected not long after.
"Wow, big brother, what was that just now? It feels so cool!" Surprised cheers from Shayi suddenly came from next to him.
What's going on? Are your glasses broken?
Chiba Xing was stunned for a moment, did not answer Shayi's words, and pressed the communicator in his hand.
The data panel that also popped up was also in chaos, like a virus, and it was disconnected after a while.
"Wow, big brother, your watch is so cool!" Shayi's cheers continued.
However, Chiba Yuki was completely in no mood to entertain the children at this time.
"Okay, this is the last batch of food. It's almost finished." At this time, Chiyoko, who had just baked another pile of food, covered her face and smiled happily, "Fortunately, Chiba-kun came to help us.
Let’s eat together!”
After she finished speaking, she noticed that the face of the boy opposite her was not right, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Chiba Xing sighed softly.
