III: Extra Story
Chapter 147: Side Story · 6
There is no thirteenth month in the year.

＊＊＊

After counting the whole year, Mutsuki could only count December.

It was said that her mother's name was given by her grandmother. She was born in March, when everything was reborn. March was also called Yayoi, so this month of rebirth became her name.

Mutsuki thought her mother's name was very nice, but at the same time, she also thought that her grandmother's way of naming was a bit casual.

Her mother was born in March, when everything was reborn, and her father was born in December, the beginning of winter.

If Mutsuki had to choose a favorite month in a year, then Mutsuki liked March the most. March was the season of rebirth. At this time of year, the cherry blossoms in Tokyo were the most beautiful. She liked the cherry blossoms in spring very much. From a distance, they look like a beautiful cloud of mist, and like strawberry-flavored marshmallows swirling out of the summer festival.

Every March, Kikusui'an in Sendai would also launch new snacks.

Mutsuki and her father's favorite snack was the old brand of kikufuku, which was made of glutinous rice and filled with edamame cream. It's cute and plump. She also added two thin bamboo leaves on it. When it lay on the porcelain plate, it reminded her of a white and plump little rabbit.

The little rabbit lying on the porcelain plate was cute and adorable. For a moment, Mutsuki didn't know where to start eating it. She was even a little reluctant to eat it, until her father picked up the kikufuku with ease and bit off half of it.

"If you don't eat it, I will eat it all~"

Her father pouted his lips, puffed his cheeks and chewed the glutinous rice and fillings in his mouth. The soft hair standing up in the air was like the soft fur of a cat.

Mutsuki opened her eyes wide, and stared at her father who was eating the rabbit with amber eyes that were exactly the same as her mother's. Rabbits were so cute, you actually eat rabbits!

Mutsuki watched her father pick up another white rabbit and throw it into his mouth.

Mutsuki: "..."
Let go of the rabbit!

•

All right, the rabbit was really delicious.

Mutsuki, who shared a plate of white rabbit with her father, wiped the corners of her mouth and took a sip of the tea in the tea tray.

Kikufuku was delicious, but it was inevitable to feel sick of it if you eat too much.

Mutsuki liked sweet food, but she was not as obsessed with the word "sweet party" as her father. After eating kikufuku, her father's first choice was not to use tea to combine the sweetness of the cream, but to directly make himself a cup of strawberry milk that was so sweet that it was sickening, and he picked up the cup and gulped it down.

The little white-haired girl carefully took a sip of the slightly bitter tea, raised her eyelashes slightly, and looked at her father drinking strawberry milk with amber eyes.

Their family all liked to eat sweet things. Two-thirds of the sweets in the house died in her father's mouth. Her father, who loved sweets, refused to eat bitter things, bitter melon, or anything bitter. Although she had never seen her father sick, she thought that he would never take bitter medicine when he was sick. When he drank coffee to refresh himself, he would add six pieces of sugar to the palm-sized coffee cup.

Mutsuki seriously suspected that her father had cavities, but he had not complained about so long.

By the way, Mutsuki's father couldn't stand the pain. He would cry to her mother for a long time if he felt a little pain, and he would keep pushing against her mother like a cat.

Such a father was more like a child than her.

Mutsuki thought her father was really cute when he acted like a white cat and acted like a spoiled child to her mother.

Hey, when would she have her own white cat?

Mutsuki put down the cup, ran to her father's feet, grabbed her father's trousers and pulled them. Her father was extremely tall, and she had never seen anyone taller than her father.

"Papa, do you have cavities?" The little white-haired girl tilted her head and asked her father.

After drinking the milk, her father put the cup on the table and told her confidently that they, the fairy men, never have cavities.

Mutsuki didn't believe it, so her father squatted down and opened his mouth for her to see. The little girl pulled her father's mouth for a long time, and her father's saliva was about to flow down. She only saw a mouthful of white and neat teeth, and didn't see any cavities at all.

The little white-haired girl was discouraged and let go of her father's lips, but was pinched by her father in return.

"Hng?" Mutsuki was forced to puff up her cheeks, and watched her father pry open her mouth and look inside. Her father's eyes were beautiful and sharp, and he could tell what was hidden in her mouth at a glance.

"It's a cavity." Her father narrowed his blue eyes and smiled maliciously, "Oh~ Papa's Mutsuki has a cavity~"

He also stretched out his finger and poked it, causing Mutsuki to gasp in pain.

Mutsuki opened her mouth reflexively and was about to bite her father's finger. Her father quickly pulled his finger out, and she bit into nothing. The sound of the upper and lower rows of teeth knocking together was crisp and loud, causing her to winced in pain.

The little girl cried in pain, covering her cheeks, and asked her father with tears in her eyes, "Why don't you have cavities?"
It's obvious that two-thirds of the sweets in the family died in your mouth.

"Because I, your papa, am the strongest." Mutsuki looked at her energetic father and opened his mouth energetically, like a very proud white cat, "Your strongest papa will not have cavities."

It made sense.

Mutsuki looked at her energetic father and felt that it made sense but felt something was wrong.

Until her father took her to Shoko's infirmary to extract a tooth. Shoko, with dark circles under her eyes, said with a haggard face that she was not a dentist. Because of the presence of the little girl, she did not tell him to get out, but asked him to take Mutsuki to a regular dental hospital to register for treatment.

"You are all doctors." Her father lifted her up and stuffed her into Shoko's arms.

The thin Shoko-san rolled her eyes at her father, took her from her father easily, and carefully opened her mouth, "It's a tooth decay."

Shoko showed her the decayed tooth, "It needs to be pulled out."

When the little white-haired girl heard that she needed to have her teeth pulled out, she covered her cheeks reflexively, and her amber eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, shining brightly in the sun-filled medical room.

The little white-haired girl was afraid of pain, and it was painful to have her teeth pulled out. She had tears in her eyes before the extraction even started.

Shoko paused, raised her eyebrows, and her beautiful almond eyes were more interested. Apart from the eyes that resembled her mother, the little white-haired girl looked like her father, who was hated by everyone, but her demeanor and temper were more like Yayoi. She was usually as docile as a little white cat, and it looked like a smaller version of Satoru crying.

Suddenly, Shoko wanted to bully her.

"Just pull it out, tooth decay is not a big deal." Shoko touched the white hair of the little girl, "Your father still has tooth decay at the age of sixteen."

Hearing this, Mutsuki covered her cheeks and forgot the pain. She looked at her father and then at Shoko in a white coat, and opened her amber eyes wide, "Papa said that fairy men never have tooth decay."

Shoko's eyes twitched, and she glanced at her bad-tempered classmate who became more and more shameless as he got older, thinking to herself, you listen to your papa's nonsense.

Satoru would indeed not have tooth decay anymore, but that would be after he learned the Reverse Cursed Technique.

As for fairy men... well, scums would not have tooth decay.

Shoko thought, and put the little white-haired girl in her hand back into Satoru's hand. She was just a wild doctor with Reverse Cursed Technique. She could use a reversal technique to treat heavy bleeding, internal organ rupture and fractures. It's better to find a regular doctor for delicate work such as tooth extraction for children.

"Eh, can't you?" Satoru held his daughter and touched his chin, "I remember you pulled my tooth once when I was a student in tech school."

Shoko said calmly, "When you asked me to pull your tooth, it was during high school, and your little girl is still in kindergarten."

The big white hair and small white hair could not be treated the same.

Shoko had never studied medicine in a proper medical school. She could be in charge of the medical industry in the world of sorcery because of her superb Reverse Cursed Technique. The medical license she obtained was obtained through unorthodox methods.

And what delicate work was needed to pull Satoru's tooth? Just use pliers, inject anesthetic, clamp the pliers, and pull hard. As long as no one died, everything else was fine. After all, she could use Reverse Cursed Technique, no one would die, and it was easy to stop bleeding. By the way, Suguru was also present at the time. Their female classmate's method was so rough that Suguru's pupils were still shaking after leaving the infirmary. For a long time, he was unwilling to go to the infirmary.

How could the little white-haired girl, with her thin arms and legs, withstand such torture? It would be better to go to a proper hospital.

Shoko, who had always been lazy, was not willing to treat children casually.

Satoru thought about it for a long time with a suspicious look on his face, and turned around to take his daughter to have her teeth extracted.

The little white-haired girl's family lived in Tokyo Jujutsu High, which was located in the suburbs far away from the city. The surrounding area was full of lush bushes and forests. The ancient and verdant green surrounded the ancient shrines and temples. Looking around, the graceful curves of the mountains were a lush green, and the things hidden here were well hidden.

There were not many people living in the nearby area. If they want to go to downtown Tokyo, they need to walk a distance to the nearby bus station to take a bus.

The little white-haired girl who was about to be taken out by her father was very happy, and even ignored the fact that the tooth extraction would hurt. Before going out, she ran to her father with a small comb, looking at her father with sparkling amber eyes.

Satoru, who had changed her clothes, raised his eyebrows, took the small comb from the girl, combed her daughter's hair carefully, and tied two pigtails.

"Have you considered growing your hair longer?" Satoru asked as he tied the rubber bands one by one.

"I want to grow it as long as my mama's." The little girl shook her feet, "It would be better if my hair was red."

"Huh?" Mutsuki heard her father's laughter, "Is my white hair not good-looking?"

Mutsuki thought seriously for a while, and slowly told her father, "Papa's white is very beautiful, but I think mama's red is also very beautiful."
Mama's hair was a very beautiful red, warm and flowing like a flame stretched across the sky.

This time, her father rarely complained that she didn't love him, but curled the corners of his lips, and the speckled sunlight was like gold foil, shining in his pale blue eyes.

The little white-haired girl, who didn't hear her father's coquettish voice, felt that her father had grown up. She happily took out the cat backpack that Suguru gave her on her birthday, put on her favorite little yellow hat, tied her shoelaces carefully, and was carried out by her father.

The engine of the bus roared slowly, slid slowly into the road, and disappeared on the horizon with exhaust.

Tokyo, with a large flow of people, was much more lively than the remote suburbs. People coming and going were like schools of fish passing by in groups in an aquarium, and various advertising signs were hung on the tall buildings.

The little white-haired girl lay on her father's shoulder and hugged her father's neck. Under the clear spring sky, a breeze with cherry blossom petals blew up, lifting the hat on her head. Before the hat flew off her head, it was firmly pressed down by her father's hand.

The wind rolled the soft cherry-colored petals and brushed the beautiful skirts of the girls who were laughing and playing in groups, and the sound of car horns rose and fell not far away.

Mutsuki blinked her eyes, grabbed a strand of her father's hair, and gently pulled it, "Papa, what do those sisters do?"

"Those are high school students nearby." Her father told her.

Mutsuki looked at the tall sister with long legs, and then looked at herself with short legs and feet, frowned, but her father's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Mutsuki will become a beautiful girl in the future~"

The elongated car horns hovered over Tokyo, and the air flow suddenly accelerated. Satoru held his daughter and stepped across the road with his long legs.

Groups of female high school students in high school uniforms went away in Mutsuki's sight. As the distance lengthened, those figures disappeared on the horizon.

She couldn't help but clench the clothes on her father's shoulders, and gently said "hmm", and the warm wind lifted her hair.

The doctor who extracted Mutsuki's teeth was an old doctor. The nurse who passed by said that he was the most experienced doctor here. He was good in every way, but a little rambling.

Mutsuki, who was lying on the operating table, had her cheeks pulled open by the old doctor with tools. She listened to the old doctor's chatter, her eyes fell on the other's clean forehead, and she felt that what the nurse said made a lot of sense.

Her father was sitting next to her and watching her smile, and he smiled happily.

Before extracting her teeth, the old doctor with a shiny head frowned and looked back at her father, "Young man, is this your first time being a father?"

"Yes~" Her father narrowed his eyes and smiled happily.

"This is the first time you become a father, and you gave birth to a daughter. It's understandable, but you can't spoil your daughter too much." The old doctor grumbled, "Children of this age are greedy, so don't store too many sweets at home."
Look, it's all cavities.

"I know." Her father answered with a serious expression, but the smile in his eyes did not change, "I will limit the amount of sweets she eats."

Mutsuki: "..."
The little white-haired girl wanted to ask her father, did you dare to speak according to your conscience?

The biggest sweet monster in the family was you, papa!

After the tooth was pulled out, the little girl whined and lay on her father's shoulder, and was carried out of the hospital by her father.

The spring sunshine fell on her skin and was warm. Her father's hair was also soft. She didn't have to worry about falling off when she was held in her father's arms.

The sound of meowing was vaguely heard. The little girl lay on her father's shoulder, opened her eyes, and met the eyes of a beautiful blue-eyed Persian cat through the window.

Mutsuki was stunned for a moment, and the Persian cat raised its chin, with an expression of pride and reserve.

Her father suddenly turned his head, and his pale blue eyes met the blue eyes of the Persian cat. The Persian cat, who had been aloof just now, had all its hair exploded, as if it had met a lifelong enemy, baring its teeth, sharpening its claws and breathing at her father.

Her father glanced at her slightly, and her father no longer gave the Persian cat any extra glances, holding his daughter and walking away with long legs.

Mutsuki was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that her cat-like father did not like her mother to pet cats.

"Papa, are you jealous?" Mutsuki whispered in her father's ear.

"Huh?"

"You don't like mama to touch other cats." The little girl explained.

Satoru raised his chin, and his arrogant eyes seemed to look down on all living things, which reminded her of the Persian cat just now.

"Of course, your mama has such a cute cat, how can she touch other cats?" Her father said confidently.

Mutsuki: "..."
I don't really understand papa O.O

The afternoon sun was very gentle, she lay on her father's shoulder and felt sleepy, the crisp bird song spread like ripples on the lake, and the fine dust rose and fell in the golden sunlight.

When she fell back into reality from the dream, she found that she was still held by her father, the vermilion torii stood far away under the blue sky like water, and the gorgeous cherry blossoms woven into soft clouds in the mountains and forests.

Her father held her and stepped on the steps made of bluestone slabs one by one, and the footsteps were so small that they could not be heard.

Mutsuki rubbed her eyes, called her father vaguely, and heard her father's response again in a daze.

The spring breeze was gentle and soft, and the soft cherry blossom petals fell from the top of her head, falling on her hair.

"Papa, why did you and mama name me Mutsuki?" Mutsuki yawned and muttered, "There are only twelve months in a year, there is no thirteenth month..."

"Of course there are no thirteen months in a year." Her father's voice with a smile sounded in the falling cherry blossoms, "But papa and mama do."

The little white-haired girl who had not yet graduated from kindergarten felt that she seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

After thinking for a long time without thinking, she felt that her father's footsteps stopped.

The bluestone paved road was covered with green moss, and scattered spots of light were mottled on the stone lanterns on both sides, and the cherry trees dragged long shadows.

Mutsuki looked back and saw a little red standing in the crimson cloud, as thick as a touch of cinnabar that suddenly opened, and the pine branches that were suddenly lit at night.

The cherry blossoms that came were like scattered rain and snow, and the smile in her mother's eyes was like the sunshine that penetrated into the cherry blossoms, warm and soft.

The mother who came over was like a floating red cloud, warmed by the spring sun. When she reached out to hug her, the smell of citrus filled her nose.

Mutsuki felt like she was wrapped in a cloud of citrus flavor.

"I'm home, my cats." Her mother said softly, with a smile that seemed to be about to ooze out syrup of her eyes.

Her father smiled with curved eyebrows, and the purring sound reminded Mutsuki of a cat turning up its belly in the sun to be petted.

The little kitten is here. It is a white cat that looks like Satoru, but has the same temper as Yayoi. Her hair is white like Satoru, and her eyes are amber like her mother. She is born with super strength. No child in the kindergarten can beat her. She likes cats. The large area of ​​cats on the hillside behind is her fish pond. She likes sweets, but not as much as her father.

Little white-haired girl's name is Mutsuki. There is no thirteenth month in a year, but Satoru and Yayoi do.

Gojo the Cat is the favorite of the family. The little girl is like her mother. She thinks her father is like a big white cat, cute and adorable. When her father makes a fuss, the family lets him do what he wants. Even if it is the stars in the sky, her mother will pick them down for her father. The little white-haired girl is the one who holds the ladder for her mother.

Brother Suguru is the little white-haired girl's favorite person besides her parents. He gave her the cat backpack. The little girl is still in kindergarten. When her parents are away on business, Brother Suguru goes back to pick her up after school.

Occasionally, he goes to settle the little girl's troubles at school, because Brother Suguru knows that if Mutsuki's father goes to the battle personally, it will only make things more weird. When she has nothing to do, Mutsuki always likes to stick to Brother Suguru. Brother Suguru will play little girl games with her, teach her to do homework, and braid her hair. Mimiko and Nanako will occasionally get jealous, but they suddenly play together, and jealousy no longer exists.

PS: At first, Brother Suguru felt that the little white-haired girl is too obedient to be her papa's daughter, until he witnesses the scene of Mutsuki fighting with other children. That expression makes Brother Suguru dream back to the high school Satoru of the past. Wow, she is indeed Satoru's daughter XD

The little white-haired girl has never known how many uncles she has. At first, she knew that her uncle was Yuji. She likes Yuji very much because Yuji is very warm. When he hugs her, she feels like being hugged by the sun. Later, Choso pop up and says that he is her uncle, and told her that she had ten uncles in total.

Mutsuki is confuses, but she does not reject the three brothers of the Death Painting Wombs, and obediently calls them uncles one by one (three brothers with wide faces and tears.jpg). Mutsuki always feels that Eso and Kechizu looks a little strange, but instinctively felt that she is not afraid because they have no ill intentions. This is what her mother has, and she acts according to her feelings.

Other people in the high school, including Satoru's students, think that the little white-haired girl doesn't look like her father except for her face. But as she gets older, some things hidden deep in her bones will always be exposed. XD
