Ashina's glowing confectionery shop occupies a huge area, the size of eight ordinary small shops. Even if you walk without stopping, it would take you half a minute to walk through the backyard.

The courtyard landscape that was originally used for guests and wandering girls to play has been completely demolished, and the rockery has been knocked down, turning it into a huge square pond. There are often big red carp poking their heads in it, shining like noble gems under the setting sun.

.

That magical carp, which was about half the size of a human, made the butterfly ninja firmly believe in the stereotype that "everything Ashina should be big".

When passing the arch bridge above the pond, Genichiro summoned the attribute panel keenly and found that his luck had actually improved a bit.

【Being near the treasure carp can indeed increase your luck.】

[Perhaps this is also the reason why my grandfather was able to develop two postures of ascending the carp and descending the carp when appreciating the precious carp.]

In addition, when Genichiro opened his spiritual vision, he also keenly noticed that the maple trees and winter cherry trees planted on the bank of the pond were surrounded and nourished by a white mist, which was obviously also touched by the light of the treasure carp.

However, those "Thunder Dogs" that could survive in the water were unknown to where Sause Shinichi put them, and he didn't see any of them.

As the footsteps of "DuangDuangDuang" deliberately made by Kotaro came, the few treasure carps were immediately frightened and fled in all directions. They penetrated directly into the rocks on the shore and disappeared without a trace, performing a big show.

The magical drama of turning a fish into a living fish. This scene made Kotaro laugh out loud. Apparently he often does this and never gets tired of it.

The luck bonus on Genichiro also disappeared as a result.

[It turns out this fish can really pass through walls.]

When they discovered this, Genichiro and Butterfly Ninja were equally surprised.

He looked at Butterfly Nian'an who was full of surprise and said: "There will be no one here in a while, and they will come back. You can come back if you want to see it."

He knew Butterfly Ninja was a goldfish lover.

Only when watching goldfish swimming freely in the water, Butterfly Ren's irritable temper will stabilize. This should be related to her experience when learning water breathing.

Looking at the crystal clear pond, Butterfly nodded dully, feeling that nothing would surprise her today.

A two-meter-plus giant, a beautiful woman with snake eyes, and this giant carp that can walk through walls.

She started to believe it now. Ashina might actually have a big white snake wrapped around a mountain and resting there.

[It seems that next time the lottery is drawn, Murata must be brought to this place, so the effect should be better.]

[I don’t know how many points that guy can add to my luck, but it should be at least 5 points.]

Genichiro thought secretly in his heart.

When the three of them arrived at the door of the main hall, before they saw anyone, they first heard a loud conversation coming from inside.

"The Queen of the United Kingdom is like a shareholder who has been deprived of his shares and has the title of honorary director. No matter what happens to the country, she cannot be blamed, and the credit is the same; the President of the United States is like someone you hired from outside.

When you are a shopkeeper, you have to endure all the grievances by yourself; but the emperor of Japan is like a major shareholder who doubles as the chairman. If he makes any mistakes, he will blame it on the cabinet, and the government will change at worst; but if there is any merit, he will take all the credit.

On the body, he deifies himself to be worshiped by all people, and uses one person’s will as the will of the entire nation.”

The voice was impassioned and sounded like a child whose voice had not completely changed.

What he said may be cliche in universities outside, but it is very fresh to people who don't care about current affairs.

After all, how many people dare to speak out against the Emperor?

"Nowadays, the cabinet is dominated by powerful feudal clans. Forty-five percent of the annual financial expenditure is used to replenish armaments. The army is firmly in their hands. When Emperor Meiji was on the throne, there were still people who could suppress them. But after his death,

The combination of this deified emperor and the foolish and loyal army may cause irreparable disaster to Japan and the entire world..."

[Didn’t you say that Kuro is taking English class? 】

【Why are you talking about politics?】

Genichiro didn't feel much after listening to the words inside, and pushed open the paper door with a click.

On the low couch in the middle of the room, Jiulang was sitting next to a handsome young man with a long face. The table was piled with newspapers written in foreign languages, with a copy of The Times on the top.

The moment he saw Genichiro, Kuro immediately stood up and said: "Brother Genichiro..."

His eyes swept over Genichiro's left hand, showing a trace of deep nostalgia, which then turned into joy.

"It's great to see with my own eyes that you are okay." He said sincerely.

The young man behind Kuro also stood up and looked carefully at the people who came in. He said nothing and his eyes lingered on Butterfly Ninja for a moment.

The butterfly ninja focused all her attention on Kuro, and when she estimated Kuro's height, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally someone more normal."

"This kid is pretty cute. He's not as serious as Genichiro, but there's always something inexplicable about him..."

“Feeling unattainable?”

Faintly, Butterfly Ninja felt that this child's temperament was a bit like the lord with whom she had a close relationship. People couldn't help but want to get closer, but they couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves.

The sincerity in Kuro's words made Genichiro very happy.

"There was a little accident, but it wasn't life-threatening."

He put his left hand on Jiulang's shoulder and winked behind him: "Besides, shouldn't I be called brother? Calls like brother are too formal."

Kuro immediately saw the Butterfly Ninja standing behind Kotaro, and then he noticed that there was an outsider, but there was a lack of presence in the space.

"Sorry, I'm rude, this..."

"This is Miss Butterfly Ninja. Despite her young age, she is a very outstanding doctor. She and her sister also completed my surgery together."

“I can’t thank you enough.”

Kuro bowed to the butterfly ninja, and the butterfly ninja quickly returned the bow. The other person's maturity and etiquette almost made her forget the other person's age.

Then Genichiro introduced to Butterfly Ninja: "This is my younger brother Hirata Kuro, who takes the surname of his adoptive parents. He is ten... well, he is eight years old this year. He likes reading, and I have some common interests with Miss Shinobi."

In fact, Jiuro is already eleven years old. It’s just that he didn’t eat meat before, so he is shorter.

But since Genichiro told Murata his age in prison, Kuro had no choice but to deign to reduce his age now.

Kuro: "..."

Jiulang didn't know what lies his brother had told, but he had no intention of exposing them, so he could only cooperate aggrievedly.

After he greeted the butterfly ninja, he introduced the young man behind him to Genichiro: "This is Mr. Ryunosuke Akutagawa, the foreign language teacher Mr. Anayama hired for me. He is proficient in Chinese, German and English, and is very knowledgeable.

"

"Kuroro is really ridiculous. I am only a middle school student. I have barely learned some foreign languages ​​by myself, but my level is only enough to read some news. I am far from being proficient."

Mr. Akutagawa looks like he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he is very humble when he speaks and has good manners. He does not look like a child from an ordinary family.

Seeing that he was so young, Genichiro asked: "How did Mr. Akutagawa meet Anayama?"

Kuro's expression immediately became awkward. Just as he was about to say something, Ryunosuke Akutagawa spoke first.

"There's nothing that can't be said."

He smiled and said, "My biological father is a milk businessman. His company now provides fresh milk to the entire Yoshiwara. Mr. Anayama also came up with a lot of ideas. My father heard that Kuro was very interested in foreign languages, so I happened to

Recently I didn’t want to go to school, so he introduced me to Mr. Anesama.”

As he said that, he looked at Jiulang with some admiration.

"But I didn't expect that Kuro is actually a rare foreign language genius. It took him three days to memorize the vocabulary and grammar that ordinary people need three months to master. To be honest, I'm afraid that in a few days, I will also

There is nothing you can teach him."

"You're welcome."

Jiuro said modestly.

"Okay, since it's a day to reunite with my family, I won't disturb you all. I just have something to ask a senior for advice."

He also saw that several people seemed to have something to talk about. After bowing, he planned to leave, but when he passed by the Butterfly Ninja, he suddenly stopped.

"Miss, although this is a bit presumptuous, since yesterday, police have been arresting people wearing black uniforms and carrying knives. If you don't want to be misunderstood, you'd better change your clothes before going out."

After saying this, he bowed and left without waiting for Butterfly Ren to reply.

"Kotaro, go see Mr. Akutagawa off."

"good."

Kotaro put the food box on the table and immediately followed him out. After a while, the laughter of two people could be heard outside. It seemed that Mr. Akutagawa was very suitable for coaxing children.

After the two of them walked away, the Butterfly Ninja recovered from his previous sluggishness.

"What does he mean?"

Butterfly Ninja repeated: "A person wearing a black uniform...carrying a katana, then, isn't that..."

This description sounds like the Demon Slayer Squad.

"Miss Butterfly Ninja is a member of the Demon Slayer Squad, right?"

Kuro knew a lot, "Last night at Rashomon, Mr. Anesama saw two men in black being taken away by the police for carrying knives. One of them was also wounded in the leg by a bullet. He was arrested.

At that time, one of them said that there was a ghost inhabiting the Wandering Girl's House over there, and he must be someone from the Demon Slayer Squad."

The butterfly ninja's face immediately turned ugly.

"They, they are too careless! How can they cause such trouble to the lord at this time!"
