I: The Flowers Are Not Sleeping
Chapter 32: Winter Sun
Inadvertently, all the money has been donated to Pachinko.

***

This was the first and only time for Toji Zenin had seen such a bright and natural red hair.

This red hair was too eye-catching. The street was quiet and a little lonely after the heavy snowfall. The red color was as bright as fire. He noticed it almost immediately after it came into his sight.

It's not like he had never seen red hair before.

Red, flamboyant and bright, was a color that many women like. Those women like to wear red skirts, paint their lips an exaggerated red with red lipstick, and wear red high heels.

That kind of red was luxurious and eye-catching. It was also red, but it was different from the red hair in front of him. It gave him a different feelings.

That red hair was more like a quietly burning fire, the firelight dancing silently in the dark night.

It looked very silent.

The little red-haired girl held a fat orange cat that seemed to weight more than twenty pounds in one hand, and Toji's sea urchin son in the other hand. The child's hands passed the fat orange cat's front paws. He held the fat orange cat in his arms and stroked the fat orange cat's furry back from time to time. He seemed to like the fat orange cat very much.

The fat orange cat held in the arms of the redhead was particularly fat.

Holy hell, after living for so many years, Toji had never seen a fat cat, but he had only seen this fat orange cat in front of him, huddled together with his son.

For an orange cat to be so fat, it's probably because its life was too rich.

Fortunately, the redhead could still hold this fat orange cat and walk so leisurely.

The weight of one person and one cat rested on the girl, but she didn't blush or pant, and her steps were steady. She was still walking so leisurely while holding a fat orange cat that seemed to weigh over ten kilograms and a three-year-old sea urchin kid that was very similar in weight to the fat orange cat.

After confirming that his son was not in danger and hooking up with a little red-haired girl, Toji breathed a sigh of relief, and his green eyes fell on the girl holding his son.

The girl looked about twelve or thirteen years old, her figure was still thin, and her two fair arms didn't have much muscle. With thin arms and thin legs, she could hold a person with a total weight of more than 20 kilograms, and her steps could still be so steady.

Toji couldn't help but look sideways.

Even an adult woman may not be able to hold such a fat cat, not to mention the weight of his sea urchin son. Although the child was a little thinner, his weight, regardless of who was lighter or heavier, the combination weight of a cat and a person was not something that a little girl with little flesh could carry.

Toji was born different from ordinary people. His body was stronger than ordinary people, and his five senses were beyond ordinary people. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't catch the slightest trace of the cursed energy on the little girl, he would almost think that the little red-haired girl was an "insider" ".

But... compared to ordinary people, this girl was too clean.

Ordinary people were not like sorcerers, nor do they want to be bound by Heavenly Restriction like Toji, which had absolutely zero cursed energy. Although the power of ordinary people's curse was not as good as that of sorcerers, it would still leak out of the body, and then breed and strengthen cursed spirits.

Not to mention this red-haired girl, Toji didn't even feel the cursed energy leaking out.

As if sensing the sight behind her, the redhead who was holding Toji's son and her fat cat stopped walking forward. Toji, who followed the girl's gentle steps, also stopped and subconsciously walked towards the corner, hiding in the alley.

"What's wrong with you?" The little sea urchin hugged the big orange cat and asked doubtfully.

"Someone is following us." Yayoi said.

The little sea urchin looked back behind Yayoi. There were only a few passers-by and residual snow on the ground. A middle-aged man walked out of the convenience store next to him, holding a heavy plastic bag in his hand. There were a few brown feathers lying on the bare branches. sparrow.

The weather was very cold at this time, and people didn't like to come out to breathe in the cold air. Those who could stay at home and had a kotatsu should did so. Wasn't a warm kotatsu feel good? Why did you had to come out to blow the northwest wind?

"I didn't see it." The little sea urchin blinked.

Yayoi paused for a moment, then continued walking forward, "Then let's keep walking."

The footsteps were steady, and in the cold air there were the sounds of meowing cat and the voices of children, which became smaller and smaller as the distance increased.

The light in the alley was very dim. It was a gap between two shops. It was not a problem to accommodate a few people.

Toji in the alley put his hands in the pockets of his jeans and leaned against the cold wall. The expression on his face was unclear under the dim light.

The footsteps of the little red-haired girl became smaller and smaller. Toji raised his hand and pressed his thumb twice on his eyebrows.

Oh, he actually got noticed sometimes.

This really flattered him.

After Toji was born and was confirmed to had zero cursed energy, no one was looking at him. Even his parents and brothers were unwilling to even look at him.

That's how that family was. Anyone who was not a Zenin was not a sorcerer, and a person who was not a sorcerer was not a human being. In the eyes of those people, a person like him was worse than rubbish.

Standing behind others, he would actually be noticed?

Toji only found it funny.

This little redhead was really evil.

Toji thought as he walked out of the alley, intending to bring his son back.

But he didn't expect that when he turned the corner, he came face to face with the little red-haired girl holding the fat orange cat and his sea urchin son.

Toji Zenin: "..."

This redhead was so f*cking evil.

"Uncle, are you following us?" Yayoi squeezed out a face between the fat orange cat and Toji's sea urchin son, and asked him with a tigerish face.

Toji curled up the corners of his scarred mouth and said calmly, "No."

Yayoi had a tigerish face and said super seriously, "No, it's you."

Toji hesitated for a moment, then looked like the most rogue, "There are so many people on the street, how do you know it must be me following you?"

"I heard it." She blinked, "The sound of breathing, footsteps, and heartbeat are exactly the same as yours."

Toji was stunned, his emerald green pupils trembled slightly, and he looked at the little red-haired girl for a long time before he uttered a 'ha' syllable.

What the hell?

"I still feel it." Yayoi continued, "I feel like you are good at fighting, and you are the best at fighting on this street."

Toji Zenin: "..."

How many handfuls of what?

"Are you the little sea urchin's father?" She asked next, "You and the little sea urchin look alike."

Toji looked at his son, a sea urchin, who was crowded into a nest with a fat orange cat. The child's black hair was sticking out everywhere, and his face was full of bitterness.

Although his son's hair looked prickly, like a sea urchin at first glance, Toji, as his father, knew very well that his son's hair felt very soft.

Little sea urchin...

It suited him quite well.

Toji took a look at his sea urchin son.

The sea urchin held by the redhead flattened his mouth and said, "I am not a sea urchin."

"But you look like a little sea urchin." said the redhead.

"You still look like a tomato." said the little sea urchin.

Red tomatoes.

Tangerine: "Mi—"

Toji Zenin: "..."

This was all very appropriate.

"The father of the sea urchin is not a sea urchin." Yayoi looked at Toji, then looked at the little sea urchin in her arms, and said with emotion.

Toji: "...give me my son back."

It's none of your business whether I'm a sea urchin or not?

*growl-"

Someone's stomach suddenly growled.

The air suddenly became quiet, except for the big orange cat wagging its tail and meowing.

The little sea urchin blushed and hid it in the fur of the big orange cat.

Toji Zenin: "..."

Ah, my son was hungry.

Ah, it suddenly occurred to him that all his money had been donated to Pachinko.

What to do?

"Little sea urchin, are you and uncle want to eat curry beef rice?" It was just the right time for Yayoi to speak.

The little sea urchin's face turned redder, but his unscrupulous father was much thicker-skinned than him, "Eat, why, you want to treat me and this kid to dinner?"

Yayoi nodded, "I feel you are short of money."

She added, "The kind who are super short of money."

Toji Zenin: "..."

If he must say one more thing, this redhead was really evil.

How on earth did you know that I am short of money?!

On the day she accompanied Misako back to Tokyo, the girl took out several coupons for this newly opened curry shop from her wallet, patted them into Yayoi's hands, and said in distressed, "I wanted to go with you. I wanted to eat curry beef rice at a newly opened curry shop on the street, but now it seems I don't have a chance."

"I don't look like I can go back." Misako took a deep breath and then smiled, "You help me spend it. Remember to tell me if it tastes good. I will sneak back to eat with you later."

She never had a chance to eat, but she happened to meet a father and son who were short of money. Yayoi went to the curry shop to eat curry beef rice. Of course, she paid for it. There were coupons, so the total meal cost for the three of them was not much.

If it tasted good, she would tell Misako that the curry beef rice in the new curry shop on the street was delicious, and she could sneak back to eat with her, or she could pack up and go to Tokyo to eat with Misako.

So the thick-skinned Toji, who had been a gigolo all year round, dragged his son to live off a woman without any pressure. The three people and a cat went to a newly opened curry shop on the street. The waiter even specially prepared milk for Tangerine. Their seats were arranged on the seats with glass windows.

Toji held his chin, and his eyes fell on Yayoi. The little redhead, her cat, and Toji's sea urchin son sat in a row, chewing the food in their mouths in a unified manner with big and small movements. One bulge after another, like two squirrels eating.

Next to them was a transparent floor-to-ceiling glass window. Outside the window was a bare tree hung with a dead leaf that could not fall off. Several people pass by the window from time to time.

His emerald green eyes turned, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the waitress at the cashier peeking at him.

Toji raised the corner of his mouth and mocked silently. His face was quite attractive to women.

"Kid." Toji said, "How did you find out about me?"

After followed her for a while, he found out, when did his skills become so bad? Or was there something fishy about this little red-haired girl?

Yayoi held the spoon for a moment, swallowed what was in her mouth, and then said, "I said it before, heard it, and felt it."

Toji frowned, then a thought appeared silently, his pupils trembled slightly, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

There was no cursed energy, and her five senses were developed beyond ordinary people.

No way...

The chatter of the waitress at the cashier could be heard in his ears again, and the irritability silently overflowed from a corner of his heart.

'Ah, I didn't expect that I would find a being just like myself.'

"They are saying that you are good-looking and so tall. They have never seen a better-looking man than you." Yayoi looked at the two waitresses at the cashier. The faces of the two waitresses who heard Yayoi's voice immediately turned red. They began to pushed each other.

"They also said it's a pity that you already have children." She added.

The two girls' faces turned completely red.

Toji Zenin: "..."

It's really special.

Toji held his chin, smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking as lazy as a resting panther. His emerald green eyes were as faint as emeralds. He said harshly, "Why, do you feel it's a pity too?"

"It's not a pity, I like the little sea urchin." Yayoi eyes were bright and calm, without any haze.

Toji hit a cotton and felt inexplicably boring.

No, she's not like him.

This red-haired girl was still a child, and she was also a girl who was slower than ordinary people.

"What's your name?" Toji asked.

"Yayoi Amamiya." said the redhead .

Toji paused for a moment.

Women from sorcerer families generally want to be "ahead of the times", especially in certain aspects, but this red-haired girl was slow and her brain seemed to be lacking, and he had never heard of any sorcerer family with the surname Amamiya.

Wild... Heavenly Restriction sorcerer?

What a blessing.

Toji thought as he raised his hand and said, "One more."

Finally, he gave a thumbs up and pointed at Yayoi without changing his expression, "This redhead pays."

Waiter: "..."

The little red-haired girl blinked with a harmless expression, "Uncle, they say you are so bad for asking a child to pay."

Toji Zenin: "Tsk."

You can shut up, I heard you.

If it's bad, it's so bad. Face was not noodles, so could it still be eaten as a meal? Had nothing to fear.

"You are so lucky." Yayoi heard Toji say.

The man put his hands in his pockets, bent over, and looked at this dwarf melon little red-haired girl. This girl was very short, and her breasts were mediocre, but as someone who had seen countless women had his own vicious eyes, after a few days, or years later, this redhead would grow up, and when she grew up, she would became a rare beauty.

There would be a lot of bad men chased her by then, right?

Toji thoughts.

Yayoi tilted her head in confusion, looking harmless enough like a cat.

The evil element in Toji's bones was ready to stir up, and he directly ruffled Yayoi's hair.

Yayoi: ???

Why do you all like to rub my hair?

Yayoi: redhead confused.jpg

When Yayoi was confused with her messed-up hair, Toji had already picked up his son, Megumi. In the circle of adult men, he was also a tall man. He looked at the soft winter sky on the horizon, against the light, and cast black shadows on the ground.

He held his tiny son.

"That's not bad for you." Toji's eyes were calm, "Compared to me, that's really much better."

His life was hopeless.

"Be smarter in the future, you don't look very smart." The man said again, and twitched the corner of his mouth viciously, "Be careful of being deceived by men with ill intentions."

Especially a man like him.

Yayoi left, and she took her cat with her, slowly walking towards the other side of the street. The winter sun fell on the remaining snow on the ground, glowing with tiny pieces of pale gold.

Toji glanced at his son and said, "Let's go."

The cold air penetrated straight into her neck, and Megumi couldn't help but bury his face in the scarf. The warm temperature was still there, and there was a faint smell of orange soda.

He suddenly remembered that Yayoi didn't take her scarf away.

The little boy looked in the direction where Yayoi left, and he saw that the person had long disappeared, leaving only the pale golden winter sun on the ground. Today's sun seemed to be particularly soft.
