On a plate in the corner, the pickled vegetables were neatly arranged.
The brother and sister reached out their chopsticks at the same time to try it. It tasted very good.
It shouldn't have been bought from the supermarket in the shopping street. It should have been handmade. Making pickles should be his grandfather's forte.
"Ah, that was given to us by Mr. Sakuraba from the tavern.”
Grandfather said lightly.
When Bai Qi and Jing Hua heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. This meant that from tomorrow onwards, it would be a heroic battle.
Many years had passed since his grandmother's death.
He didn't know when it started, but his grandfather and his close wives were competing with each other to give each other gifts.
They were all housewives and old women with families.
If they heard that Aunt Sakuraba had sent pickles, then Mr. Murakawa from the pancake shop and Mr. Endo from the toy shop would send their failed dishes.
It would be a good thing if it was a part of his relationship with his neighbors.
However, there were still some women who were looking at their grandfather with great enthusiasm. For the sake of peace in the shopping street, his grandfather would restrain himself in all aspects and not accept it.
Sigh, it was useless to be angry now.
Bai Qi and Jing Hua decided to change their mood and eat as much as they could, so they finished almost all the dishes.
After dinner, everyone was preparing for the aftermath of dinner.
The phone in the corner of the living room rang.
"Ah, I'll get it-yes, it's the Grass Naga family. May I know who you are?"
After speaking to her grandfather and brother who were washing the dishes, Jing Hua picked up the receiver.
"Ah, Senior of the Ten Thousand Mile Valley? What's going on? Why are you calling my house…"
It seemed to be someone Jing Hua knew.
After washing the things that needed to be washed, the guard returned to the living room. His sister was still on the phone.
"Yes, yes. He is indeed at home…but why is Senior looking for my brother? Weren't the classes different? Ah, no, it's not like that. I, I understand. I'll pass it on properly. I, I wish you all the best.”
I wish you all the best! Bai Qi was shocked.
It was strange to use himself as a topic of conversation, and there was also a greeting like farewell. Who was Jinghua talking to on the phone?
"…Big brother. Hey, sit there."
"You're already sitting down. What do you want to say, Jinghua?”
Seeing his sister pointing at the tatami in front of him, Baiqi clicked his tongue.
Since he was already sitting cross-legged, it was only natural for him to refute.
"Please sit down and talk! From now on, I'll ask you to answer honestly. Big brother, when did you become so close to senior Myriad Miles Valley?”
"Ah?"
Jing Hua, who forced her brother to sit upright, asked a strange question.
"Who is that person? It shouldn't be the name of someone I know.”
"Really? Then let's not talk about this first. We'll ask later.”
Sister, don't you think that this kind of questioning method will make people feel very uneasy?
Baiqi wanted to suggest this, but he did not say anything. The one who doesn't make stupid remarks can keep the family harmonious.
"Have you heard of the number one beauty in your senior high school?”
"What? There was no limit to that. Anyone could do it. Moreover, they had never competed for first or second place.”
"But if it's just our school, it's obvious that there's no need for competition... that's Senior Yuri of the Ten-Thousand Miles Valley.”
Both sides were within the same planned land, and the siblings often went to school together.
It was only a 20-minute walk from his home, which was quite close.
Originally, Baiqi was studying in an ordinary public junior high school. Later on, he applied to a nearby school and was lucky enough to pass. He started school this spring. As a result, his younger sister, who had taken the entrance exam in junior high school, had stayed in this school for a long time and was more familiar with the school's affairs.
"He's a senior from my tea ceremony club, a first-year high school student like my brother. Even in the middle of the country, there were beauties who were highly regarded. She was also very smart, and her grades were often in the top five of the school year.”
In that case, his sister did indeed belong to the Tea Ceremony Department.
It was said that there were many clubs where high school students and junior high students played together in the cultural department of Chengnan College.
It wasn't strange that a senior from the same club, and a member from the central region, would call Jing Hua. But why was he forced to sit?
"Then, what did that person called Ten Thousand Mile Valley say?”
Bai Qi asked angrily. The cause and effect were completely incomprehensible.
The name of the female student sounded a little familiar.
Maybe it was a boy from the same grade who had said it a few times. It was probably a stupid conversation like 'that girl is so cute.'
"Then, let's get down to business. This senior of the Ten Thousand Mile Valley suddenly said that she had a simple request. However, she said that she wanted to see you, big brother…But not only is the senior of the Ten Thousand Mile Valley a beauty, she's also very smart. She's an amazing young miss!”
"Um…is this related to what I said before?”
"I was just about to start! Big brother, could it be that you used clever sweet words to deceive the senior of the Myriad Miles Valley who doesn't understand the ways of the world?”
The guard roared out of reflex after being questioned by Jing Hua.
"Would someone who only knows his name for the first time do such a thing?”
"Then why did you call and say that you want to see your brother?？Isn't that strange?"
Indeed. Baiqi could understand the criticism.
"However, that is also very laughable. He said he had something to tell me, but why did he specially ask Jinghua to convey it on his behalf? If you call, you can tell me directly if there's anything.”
"Ah, didn't you notice? There were indeed people with good brains, but it was rare to see seniors who valued efficiency so much. Also, she would feel shy when talking to boys on the phone. She was so amazing that she could even say things like 'goodbye, everyone' naturally when greeting them.”
"…Is that person called Yuri Wanli from another dimension?”(This is a different dimension)
At the very least, as far as Baiqi knew, there was no woman who would naturally greet him like that.
Ah, if it was Erika, it was probably possible.
That young lady was the eldest daughter of the prestigious Brauntly family. If that was the case, there should be hidden stunts like dancing that matched a lady.
"It's not from another dimension. It's from an old aristocratic family. I don't seem to have any fate with the commoners…"
"There's no reason for you to call me out just because you don't know me. Did you get the wrong person?”
The more he listened, the more he felt that they were residents of another dimension.
Other than the magicians he met in Italy, Baiqi's friends were all very common. He would not have the chance to meet such a rich lady.
Jing Hua said as she stared at her brother coldly.
"Brother has been running away recently. Did he go to Erika's place?”
"…Didn't I say that we're just ordinary friends?”
"Ah, right, the last thing Senior Ten Thousand Mile Valley said…seemed to be that he wanted to see the things that big brother brought back to Tokyo recently. What is that thing?"
Hearing this, all the questions were understood.
Of course, Baiqi did not think of anything else besides the Gorgon's Stone.
So that was the case. If they were the magicians 'accomplices, it was understandable how strange they were.
Feeling that he was about to be dragged into trouble even though he was living in his own place, Baiqi became depressed.
