I: The Flowers Are Not Sleeping
Chapter 10: The Little Sun
This is not a little redhead, this is a little redhead that belongs to a car

＊＊＊

Yayoi got up very early today. When it was just dawn, Yayoi got up from the bed and ran to the bathroom to wash up. After changing clothes, she ate breakfast and went out carried the lunch box and some extra things given by her mother.

Today she's going to visit Grandpa Itadori's family who lived in Sendai. Sendai was in the north of Saitama Prefecture and the journey was a bit far. If she couldn't catch the Shinkansen, it would take much more time than planned, so she ate early. After breakfast, she went out early.

When going out, Yayoi was still worried that her mother would be alone at home.

After Satoru and Suguru left, her mother had a cold for a month and had to lie in bed for two days.

It had nothing to do with the curse, but she still caught a cold.

Yayoi took off the thermometer and looked at the number on the thermometer for a moment, then decisively put a fever-reducing patch on her mother, tucked the quilt up, and made sure it was firmly pressed before taking her hands away.

"Sorry, Yayoi, I'm sick again." Her mother apologized to Yayoi with a blush on her face caused by abnormal body temperature.

Yayoi sat on the tatami, feeling that she had nothing to be sorry for, she was just sick. Her mother had been sick from various illnesses since she was a child, and Yayoi could not count them on her ten fingers and toes. This little cold was really nothing. "It doesn't matter, you are the mother."

In April, the flowering period of the cherry blossoms in the courtyard had passed, and the cherry blossom tree was not the warm pink it was a month ago. After the cherry blossoms fell in, the emerald green of the cherry leaves on the tree became the most conspicuous color, and the snow melts. The temperature almost getting warmer.

Yayoi was not afraid of the cold. Even in the coldest month of winter, the whole body of the little redhead was warm. As long as she wore a sweater and a coat, she would not feel cold. A natural warmer.

Yayoi's mother always liked to hug Yayoi who couldn't walk when she was a child, especially in winter. This was one of the many reasons. Well, now her mother also liked to run over and hug her red-haired daughter and rub her face and red hair.

Yayoi went out alone today. Two months ago, her mother and Yayoi planned to go to Sendai together, but this time her mother caught a cold and had a fever. She had a fever for two days, and Yayoi almost skipped class in these two days.

Fortunately, Mrs. Tanaka, a neighbor, would come to visit Yayoi's home from time to time when she was in school. Otherwise, Yayoi who has been working hard since she came to Saitama Prefecture to start studying would have to start skipping classes in Saitama Prefecture for the first time in her life.

Yayoi had been paying special attention to the weather forecast in the past few days. Last night's weather forecast said that the temperature in Sendai was a little lower than Saitama Prefecture. After reading last night's weather forecast, Yayoi became more determined to go out alone.

Her mother was obviously worried about her daughter going out alone. She made sure Yayoi had brought everything before letting her go.

"I'm going out." Yayoi put on her shoes at the entrance, wrapped her red scarf around her habitually, and opened the door.

"Yayoi, did you bring your lunch box?" Mom opened the entrance door and hurriedly came out with the lunch box, "Where's the map? Did you bring the map? And your mobile phone!"

Yayoi looked at the lunch box in her mother's hand, raised the lunch box in her own hand, and asked her soul, "Mom, did you forget that you gave me the lunch box this morning?"

The lunch box was a bit big and double-layered, because it not only brought Yayoi's lunch, but also snacks that mom specially made for Grandpa Itadori.

Grandpa Itadori was a good friend of Yayoi's grandfather. It was said that they had a good relationship. When her mother was a child, Grandpa Itadori visited the Kawabata family several times. When Yayoi and her mother moved back to Saitama Prefecture, Grandpa Itadori even wrote many letters to express greetings.

It was originally planned her mother to take Yayoi with her to visit Grandpa Itadori in April, but her mother was sick and did not want to break the contract, so Yayoi decided that it would be better for her to visit alone.

Grandpa Itadori liked the snacks made by her mother very much, and he must have been craving them for a long time. Mom told Yayoi with a smile as she brought the snacks to Yayoi.

Mom was stunned for a moment and slapped her head, "Is that so?"

Yayoi took out the phone from the pocket of her coat again, "I have my phone with me, and I also have my wallet with me."

Yayoi said in her heart, "Why are you running into the kitchen in a panic?"

Her mother had completely forgotten that she had prepared a lunch box for her.

"The map is in the bag." Yayoi pointed to the backpack on her back.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, her mother finally let her daughter out of the house.

"Yayoi,"

Mom's voice sounded behind Yayoi again. Yayoi stopped subconsciously, looked back, and saw her mother standing by the door frame.

Yayoi suddenly felt that her mother was a little thin. Her mother was already thin. Yayoi felt that she was used to it. She also tried to persuade her to eat more and try to get her to gain weight, although it had no effect.

But today's mother seemed to be unexpectedly thinner.

Yayoi pursed her lips, turned her head, and waved to her mother, "I will be back soon. Mom, you can call me."

"If you have anything, you can ask Mrs. Tanaka for help." Yayoi thought for a while and added, "Call me, I will be back right away."

•

Yayoi was not sure whether she could find Itadori's house. It was the first time for her to travel far away by herself. Except for going home by herself after school, she always went out with her mother when going far away.

This was the first time for Yayoi to come to Sendai. Sendai was very big and was the capital of Miyagi Prefecture. It was the largest economic and cultural center in the northeastern region of Honshu, Japan. Yayoi was confused by the coming and going of people, and she found the way after asking many people.

When Grandpa Itadori came to see Yayoi with his little grandson, Yuji, in his arms, he recognized Yayoi at a glance. Just like her mother, Haruna, said in the letter, he could spot the bright red hair in the crowd almost at a glance.

When they found Yayoi, she was already dazed. The little red-haired girl was confused with the map, until an old man with a child and asked her if her name was Yayoi Amamiya.

Yayoi, who had lost her IQ, nodded, "I'm redhe- I'm Yayoi..."
Ah, got Satoru's nickname confused with Grandpa Itadori's nickname.

Grandpa Itadori: "..."
Haruna, your daughter was not very smart.

Grandpa Itadori felt from the bottom of his heart that it was not easy for this red-haired girl to come here safely without being kidnapped. It was really not easy.

Yayoi took a look at the child in Grandpa Itadori's hands. The color of the child's eyes was warm, like the color of the sunlight falling from the top of the tree in the morning.

Yuji blinked and looked at the red-haired sister in front of him, and the red-haired sister blinked and looked at this little brother.

#cute#

"Grandpa Itadori," Yayoi looked at Yuji, "can I hug him?"

Grandpa Itadori smiled, and the traces left by the years on his face spread out. The old man said with a smile, "Of course."

When Yayoi knelt down to reach towards Yuji, the little guy reached out and hugged the red-haired sister's neck. He was so small that Yayoi felt like he was a kitten, or a tiger cub that hadn't grown up, or both. Yes, the ungrown tiger cub looked like a real kitten.

#Really alike#

Grandpa Itadori saw a smile on Yayoi's face, like the winter sun falling on the snow, warm and soft. His little grandson hugged Yayoi's neck and rubbed his soft cheek against her cheek.

Whose family's two suns were running out of here?

Grandpa Itadori couldn't help but think.

Oh, one of them belonged to his family.

It would be nice if it was both.

Grandpa Itadori thought again.

"Yayoi, is your mother okay?" Yayoi hugged his grandson and refused to let go. Grandpa Itadori was very satisfied with the snacks she brought over.

Yayoi hugged Yuji and nodded, "Mom is fine."

"I remember that Haruna was always sick when she was a child." Grandpa Itadori said as he walked. A child, an old man and a red-haired girl stopped in front of the zebra cross at the traffic light. "But that child has always been strong."

"She is always smiling." Grandpa Itadori smiled, "You look like a healthy child, Haruna must be very happy."

As a child, Haruna Kawabata hoped that she could be healthy, but her body was naturally weak and she could not realize her wish for health. After it came true for her daughter, Haruna told him that she suddenly felt that she was healthier than before.

Yayoi buried her face in Yuji's neck, and Yuji tugged on her red hair with moderate force, shouting "sister, sister" incessantly.

"Well, mom is very happy." Yayoi's voice was a bit muffled, maybe because she buried most of her face in Yuji's neck.

The little guy in her arms suddenly stretched out his small hands to hold Yayoi's soft cheeks, and rubbed Yayoi's face with his own.

Yayoi was stunned and rubbed Yuji's face, "I'm fine."

Yayoi turned around and said seriously to Grandpa Itadori, "Grandpa, he will be my biological brother from now on."

Grandpa Itadori: "..." as long as you were happy.

•

After a brief contact with the two high school boys and curses, Yayoi roughly understood that wherever there were people, there would be curses. The number of people in Sendai City was many times more than the small town where she lived. The number of curses changed with the number of people. Where there were more people, there were more curses.

Since that close contact with the curse, her five senses have become more and more developed. Recently, her ears could hear the chirping of the curse, and her eyes could see the vague curse spirit.

Yayoi hugged Yuji, and the voice of the curse in the corner saying 'I don't want to do homework' and 'I don't want to take a test, take a test, take a test', came to her ears clearly.

Yayoi looked at the sky and suddenly felt that what the cursed spirit said was the truth of the world.

She hated homework and tests the most.
QAQ

Yayoi hated tests and homework, but that didn't mean she liked to hear curses blabbering on and on. The curse on the street was sitting alone in the corner, muttered 'come and play with me' and 'why was there no one to play with me', loneliness was like a flood that was about to pour down.

Yayoi buried her face in Yuji's neck.

Over-developed five senses often brought bad things. When receiving excessive information from the outside world, the fatigue caused to the brain was doubled, especially with a body like hers that was very sensitive to malice.

"Sister." Yuji stretched out his short hand and touched Yayoi's red hair.

"I'm fine, Yuji." Yayoi hugged the three-year-old child, contentedly, "I'm fine now. I can run 1,600 meters without stopping while carrying you on my back."

In another section of the street, the crowd suddenly burst out into screams. Not known who started screaming first. The emotion of fear was like a tide, rushing through the entire street. What she could hear was the screams and stampedes of the crowd, and the sound of shelves collapsing.

A black car rushed out of the turbulent street. The driver seemed to no longer care about the fact that "violating driving would result in revoking the driver's license and being sent to the police station." Even if there were people coming and going on the street, it could not stop him from driving at high speed. The tires left crooked snake-like marks on the streets.

This move.

Yayoi hugged Yuji and held a delicate paper bag in her hand. She was a little confused, and a very inappropriate complaint suddenly came into her mind — was the driver really driving a real car, not a go-kart?

"D*mn it!"

The car ran some distance away, Yayoi's ears moved, and suddenly he heard a very familiar voice.

The other person was obviously very angry and panting from exhaustion, "Are curse users these days so up to date with the times? They actually hid the car!"

Yayoi saw a head of white hair for the first time in a long time, and the other person obviously also saw Yayoi's bright red hair in the crowd, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here?" Satoru bared his teeth. Didn't this redhead live in Saitama Prefecture? And what's going on with that little kid in her hand?

"Why can't I be here?" Yayoi was confused, "I came to see my brother."

The black-haired boy with a bun who caught up behind Satoru was obviously in no better condition than him. Both teenagers were panting and almost dead from exhaustion.

Suguru was stunned for a moment when he saw the redhead he had just met a month ago, "Yayoi-chan?"

Yayoi nodded in confusion and pointed at the car driving farther and farther away, "Are you going to chase that car?"

Suguru nodded, "Ah, there are curse users inside."

Yayoi didn't know what a curse users was, but it sounded like the opposite of a sorcerer.

After all, she owed two boys favors a month ago.

"Hold my brother for me." Yayoi carefully put Yuji into Suguru's arms. Suguru was stunned for a moment. The smell of milk on the child diluted the curse a little, and Suguru subconsciously hugged the child.

"What do you want to do?"

Suddenly, a paper bag was stuffed into Satoru's hand, and the white cat subconsciously caught it. As soon as he finished speaking, Satoru saw the red color rushed out, heading straight for the car, as fast as a little leopard.

Satoru pushed up his sunglasses.

The redhead over there was moving at high speed, the car in front was still speeding.

Speeding up, the redhead speeding up, the distance was shrinking!

The redhead already had a tendency to catch up with cars!

D*mn, this was not a little red-haired girl, but a little red hair belonged to a car, right?

For a moment, Satoru felt that there were too many things to talk about.

She had caught up!

"Suguru, I'm going to chase that redhead!" Satoru picked up the bag that Yayoi had stuffed over him and ran away.

Suguru's sharp eyes saw the paper bag in Satoru's hand, which seemed to be a custom-made paper bag from Kikusui'an. The black-haired boy stood there holding the child in his arms.

Suguru: ...are you sure you can catch the redhead and the car on your own?

Brother Suguru: I remember that Satoru kept talking about Kikusui'an's Kikufuku.

Brother Suguru: Satoru, although your legs are longer than the redhead's, I don't think you can outrun her. [speak with sincere a word.jpg]

#Yuji, do you still remember the red-haired sister and the white-haired teacher chasing cars together a long time ago? And Brother Suguru who hugged you#
