Chapter 116
Chapter 116
As the saying goes, if there is one, there is two and there is three.
In the past year, the Scarlet King lost his daughter twice.
Then, according to the laws and truths that people have summed up from various objective things before, if Zhou Fangzun insists on taking Alice out alone again, he will lose the little girl for the third time in all likelihood.
"Izumo said, I can't just go out with you..."
Suddenly thinking of this crop of Alice, depressingly put on the hood of her little dinosaur pajamas.
"He's not here again. We just need to come back earlier." Zhou Fangzun clicked his tongue and took off her hat.
Alice's already messy hair was tossed back and forth like this, making it even more rough.
"Yeah!" She blinked suddenly.
Zhou Fangzun pushed her into the room: "Go and change quickly."
Even if Kusanagi Izumo was standing in front of him today, blocking the door directly, he would take Zhou Fang Alice out to buy watercolor pens and stickers.
He just didn't believe that he would really lose Zhou Fang Alice for the third time.
The Red King who set up the flag walked downstairs calmly, sat on the sofa and waited for Alice to change her clothes and come down.
Her clothes are all bought by Kusanagi in complete sets from the children's clothing store, and then hung in the wardrobe in complete sets. Not only that, even the color and style of shoes she should match with each outfit are written on small labels on the hanger up.
Although this method of raising children is quite expensive, it does save Kusanagi Izumo a lot of energy and time.
As for where the saved time was used—Zhou Fangzun thought for a while, but he had no idea, but soon he found the answer in Alice who jumped down from the stairs.
This little curly-haired messy head is where Kusanagi Izumo spends the most time on her every day.
Alice's hair is soft and curly, and it takes a lot of time to comb it neatly with an air cushion comb.
Although Zhou Fangzun was forced to participate in learning how to braid little girls about 500 years ago, he didn't take this matter to heart at all at the time.
Anyway, there are Kusanagi and Totsuka, or at worst Chitose and Kamamoto.
There are many people who are dexterous in barking and dancing.Apart from the unjust foreign enemies, is there anything else that needs to be practiced under the crown of the Red King?
And right now, it is a good time to confirm the poem that the young and the strong do not work hard, the boss is sad——
After messing up Alice's hair that was so hard to comb, Zhou Fangzun completely gave up thinking about styling his daughter.
The only thing that gave him some comfort was that Alice didn't cry out in pain, nor gasped in a low hiss.
Whenever the comb teeth met some obstacles on Alice's hair, Zhou Fangzun would immediately stop his movements, carefully help her untie the knots that fell out of her hair, and then hold the small lock tightly, Comb slowly with a comb.
Finally, before going out, he chose a knitted hat for Alice, with a big ball of wool on the top.Zhou Fangzun grabbed the fur ball and fiddled with it twice, and Alice was so annoyed that she twisted and avoided him like a razor that had been sprinkled with salt.
But it's useless to hide any longer.
In order not to let her lose it again, the Scarlet King made a decision that went against his personal habits.
——He decided to hold Alice all the way out today.
I have hugged people in my arms, can I get lost again now?
The unbelieving Red King snorted softly from his nose.
The field of vision suddenly raised, and Alice, who suddenly sat on her father's arm, looked at the ground blankly, and then looked blankly at the face of her father who was close at hand.
"I can walk by myself."
The little girl shook her chubby legs.
The nearest shopping street to Barbara is not far away. Even a primary school student like Alice, who needs to run 50 meters in 16 seconds, can walk there in only 10 minutes.
"Think I really want to hug you?" Zhou Fangzun raised his eyebrows, put the earmuffs in his hand around Alice's neck, and told her, "Put these on when the wind blows cold."
Alice nodded.
Today is a cloudy and cloudy day. Although there is not much wind, the unbearable humidity and cooling continue to erode the heat emitted from the human body.
Fortunately, Zhou Fangzun is a mobile source of heat.Alice lay in her father's warm arms, pressing her face against the side of his neck.Feeling the cold wind cooling the other half of her face, she moved her body, supported her father's broad shoulders, and pressed the other side of her face against the side of his neck.
After Alice repeated this several times, Zhou Fangzun still raised his hand, and covered the other half of Alice's exposed face and ears with his dry and warm palm.
It won't be cold anymore, will it?
Sure enough, Alice didn't move anymore, she lay quietly on her stomach - and fell asleep after a while.
Sensing that the little girl's breathing became long and steady on her shoulders, the hard-working mobility robot, Your Excellency the Red King, really wanted to remove the hands covering her face for a moment.
However, before he could actually do this, several black cars suddenly stopped on the side of the road close to Zhou Fangzun.
Several burly men in black suits and sunglasses slid out of the car and lined up neatly behind the Scarlet King——
"Mr. Zhou Fang! Happy New Year!! You have worked hard on your inspection today too!!!"
Zhou Fangzun: "..."
This kind of weird scene is something that often happens in Zhenme Town.
Zhou Fangzun is already used to it, and Anna who often goes out for walks with him is also used to it.
Alice hadn't seen it much, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that she was asleep!
Zhou Fangzun didn't have time to speak out to stop this group of people (he couldn't remember which organization these people belonged to), so he could only hastily cover Alice's ears.
After confirming that his daughter hadn't been woken up, the relieved Scarlet King frowned slightly, then he turned his head, looking gloomy again, and looked at the group of blank-eyed guys.
The people in black who were stared at by him shuddered violently in the bleak Tokyo wind.
Just when most of this group of people thought that they were going to be stared at by the Scarlet King until their heart was overloaded and then paralyzed, one of them, a slightly older middle-aged man, suddenly said:
"Mr. Zhou, Zhou Fang."
Those bright red golden eyes looked at him.
It makes people feel as if they have met the eyes of a lion.
At the same time as the indescribable oppression hit, the middle-aged man's Adam's apple rolled:
"If the little lady is asleep... it's better to put her hat on... otherwise it's easy to catch a cold... my daughter has caught a cold like this, ah, of course I don't have any intention to instruct you! I just want to... Please remind me..."
He heard his own voice fluctuate, trembling like a sieve.The courage that pushed him to stand up and "remind" just now was also shaken away.
I've heard that Zhou Fangzun is moody, and trying to burn a person to ashes is not much harder than burning firewood...
Why can't I think about teaching the Red King to do things? ? ?
Do you really think that this person can be like ordinary people like them in the arms of a child? ? ?
Just when the middle-aged man wanted to slap himself, the Scarlet King, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly moved again.
He could only free one hand, and awkwardly helped the little girl who was already wearing a certain hat on her head put on the hat on her cotton coat.
The ball of wool that Zhou Fangzun liked quite a bit became the biggest obstacle for him to help Zhou Fang Alice put on the hat at this time.
This time, a very winky guy finally rushed out.
He stretched out his empty hands to help Zhou Fangzun stuff the ball of wool into the hood of the cotton coat.Because he is not as tall as Zhou Fangzun who is 185, this young man is almost helping on tiptoe.
"Is this okay?"
Zhou Fangzun's question made the heart and lungs of the middle-aged man tremble violently.
He nodded hastily: "It's ok! As long as the little lady doesn't get caught in the wind!"
After getting an affirmative answer, Zhou Fangzun didn't say anything more. He turned his eyes to the middle-aged man and landed on the young man beside him: "Thank you."
After speaking, he left with his unknown little daughter in his arms, leaving the mafia to look at each other.
If words have their own weight, then a thank you from the Scarlet King is obviously an unbearable burden for ordinary people in this world.
The Red King, who was holding his daughter in his arms, walked all the way to the shopping street, but found that Alice showed no signs of waking up.
Seeing her sleeping so soundly, still humming and chirping in her dream, Zhou Fangzun was even a little reluctant to wake her up.
Otherwise, find a stationery store that sells stickers and watercolor pens...
Zhou Fangzun thought for a while, and after making a decision, he walked slowly into the covered shopping street with Alice in his arms.With the arrival of the New Year, things like Menzhuzhuliansheng can be seen everywhere. There are not too many pedestrians on the street, but they are not less than usual. Zhou Fangzun would come here to buy a pack of cigarettes when he passed by occasionally in the past, but now Baruwu No one in Luo smokes anymore.
Compared with various shops selling cooked food, the stationery shop that Zhou Fangzun managed to find seemed quite empty.The color tone here, from the decoration to the stationery on the shelves, looks gray and dark, which doesn't match his usual lively daughter.
Zhou Fangzun picked up an eraser and found that it was just an eraser.
It is white, cuboid, and wrapped in a gray paper shell. It is the kind of old-fashioned stationery that even Zhou Fangzun would say "this is too simple".
Do kids really like this?
He recalled Alice when he was doing his homework.
This little guy is a rare left-hander. When doing homework, he always puts his pencil case on the left hand side.
And her pencil case is pink, the pen is in the shape of a carrot, and the eraser is in the shape of a bunny.
Every time Alice used her little rabbit eraser, she would carefully wipe the blackened area on the white paper again.And she won't just stare at one place, if the little rabbit's round face is wiped flat somewhere, she will change it to another place until she rubs the little rabbit's face again.
Watching her is a very interesting and time-killing thing.
Occasionally, Zhou Fangzun would also think that if he was given a reclining chair, he might be able to watch Alice tinkering with her stationery with great interest.
"Boss." Zhou Fangzun lowered his voice and walked to the counter, "Are there any watercolor pens and stickers that little girls would like?"
The boss is also very kind.
The people who usually patronize his place are adults, even if there are children brought by their parents, they will show a bitter face to the overly plain stationery on the shelves.
"You have to go to the mall to find the kind." The boss waved his hand after speaking, and then retracted into the counter.
Zhou Fangzun didn't expect to be so particular about it.
He said "Oh", and then added: "Thank you."
The mall is not too far from the shopping street.
Young people prefer shopping malls with fashionable and rich products to shopping streets frequented by middle-aged and elderly people.
However, the only shopping mall within the scope of Zhenmecho was not large in scale. Zhou Fangzun walked into the shopping mall with Alice in his arms, and he frowned when the automatic door opened and the heat rushed towards his face.
The stationery store here is on the third floor, occupying two facades, and it looks much more colorful as the previous stationery store owner said.
The shopping guide standing at the door stuffed him with a small red shopping basket.
Walking into the store, Zhou Fangzun could smell a faint fragrance, not unpleasant, but not so comfortable either.He also saw the same bunny eraser that was in Alice's pencil case.
He first found the area where the watercolor pens were placed.There are boxes and bags, and the color numbers range from 12, 24, 36 to 48.
And the packaging is also different.
Some are extraordinarily fancy, and they are also marked with the words "co-branded".
Zhou Fangzun had a headache watching it, and he couldn't help Alice make up his mind, so after thinking about it, he decided to shake her awake cruelly.
"Liz." Zhou Fangzun patted his daughter's back, and it took about half a minute before he heard her gurgle from her throat.
"Get up." He put Alice on the ground, and the sleepy little guy wobbled for a while, then leaned back on his lap.Then she hugged Zhou Fangzun's leg, and the watercolor pen she was thinking of was close in front of her eyes, but she squinted her eyes and moaned.
"Do you want more watercolor pens?" Zhou Fangzun raised his knees, and the little koala hugged him even tighter.
"Don't just go back."
Hearing what he said, Alice opened her eyes.
She looked around in bewilderment, then moved to the side of the shelf in bewilderment and took a box of watercolor pens down, then returned to Zhou Fangzun in bewilderment, and handed him the box of 24-color watercolor pens in her hand.
When the little one was not at school, her hands were always empty as long as she was around.
Zhou Fangzun didn't want to help her get the things, but he couldn't stop his watery blue eyes from staring at him. After a wordless confrontation, he took it resignedly, and then hugged her back into his arms.
The wattage of the lights in the stationery store is very high, making the black ones blacker and the white ones whiter, and the colorful colors become more intense.
Then I helped Alice put a stapler in the shape of a crocodile, two seals of flowers and little pigeons, and a lined book with the cover of "The Brave Knight" Blue Warrior in the shopping basket (she put this book in the basket Zhou Fang gave a respectful "tsk" when they were inside), and they finally found the area where the stickers were displayed.
Alice wandered among many self-adhesive sulfuric acid paper PET stickers, and finally in front of a cabinet that was so shiny that Zhou Fangzun couldn't bear to look directly at it, she signaled Zhou Fangzun to stop, then bent over and took several copies from it Stickers full of rhinestones come out...
Zhou Fangzun felt suffocated for a while.
Before he was worried about his daughter's aesthetics, he heard a person standing two or three meters away from him.
"I suddenly received a report of suspected child abduction, and I was still wondering what kind of social dregs would destroy other people's happy families during the New Year—"
A voice that could not be described as frivolous, but fell into Zhou Fangzun's ears, sounded particularly unbearable.
"I didn't expect it to be you."
"What are you doing here?"
The two said at the same time.
"Didn't you say it? I received a report of suspected child abduction." Reji Munakata slowly pushed down his glasses.
He was wearing casual clothes that Alice had never seen before—a turtleneck sweater and a long windbreaker. He was dressed in a proper manner. The only drawback was that he didn't look like someone in his early twenties.
"The suspect was wearing a black coat and black trousers. The hood of the coat had a circle of fur trim. The child in his arms was wearing a goose yellow down jacket. He was suspected to be in a coma. It is speculated that drugs may have been used on him...
"Anyway, I'm idle at home during the holidays, so I helped the police to investigate by the way.
"It turns out that you are the only one who meets the requirements around here—"
"Kid Zhou Fang." After talking a lot on his own, Reiji Munakata's voice suddenly changed, and he looked at Alice lying on Zhou Fangzun's shoulder with a smile on his face.
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Uncle Lisi."
The little idiot who couldn't understand what he said was mad at his old father, nodded politely and said hello to the elder.
"Well, sure enough, you are much cuter than your father who is full of anti-social atmosphere." Munakata Reiji wanted to reach out and touch her little face that was flushed by the central air conditioner, but then suddenly Thinking that Zhou Fangzun who was holding her would definitely not make his wish come true, so he stood where he was and looked at her from a distance.
"...You kid wants to fight and just say it." Zhou Fangzun, who had a bad complexion, straightly slumped.
"How come, it's the Spring Festival now." Munakata Reiji put his hands in the pockets of the windbreaker, looking quite elegant, "As long as it is confirmed that no one will do harm to the world at this moment of family reunion, then That's the end of my job as 'Sword Saber'."
—It would be more refined if he spoke less.
Zhou Fangzun didn't bother to pay attention to him, he was somewhat concerned about the misunderstanding of being regarded as a child trafficker when he went out shopping with his sleeping daughter in his arms.
Without saying a word, he took Alice, who had already picked out the stickers, to the cash register.
However, within two steps, Zhou Fangzun suddenly remembered something, and quickly returned to the place where Reisi Munakata was still standing, holding Alice in his arms.
The Scarlet King grabbed his daughter's hand and stretched it in the direction of the outer Zongxiang Reishi.
Reisi Munakata was stunned for a moment, and then asked a question mark.
"What does it mean?"
Zhou Fangzun sneered and said: "My daughter greeted you. As an elder, it would be inappropriate for you not to give her some lucky money?"
The Green King who was suddenly extorted of money: "..."
Such unreasonable demands can of course be refused.
But Zhou Fang Alice seemed extremely looking forward to it, and she even asked Zhou Fangzun: "Will Uncle Li Si give me New Year's money too?"
"Of course." The Scarlet King raised his eyebrows, and looked provocatively at the habitual criminal standing opposite him, "He likes you so much."
Munakata Reishi: "..."
Zhou Fangzun was right about this point.
Zhou Fang Alice's well-behaved and cuteness far surpasses children of the same age, and naturally far surpasses the two monkeys in his brother Munakata Daisuke's house who don't spend three days on the house.
Clean, beautiful and obedient human cubs are one in a million, and it is only natural to like her.
And the implication of this sentence is obvious.
——If you don’t give lucky money, you just don’t like it.
Then if he really doesn't give Zhou Fang Alice the new year's money, Zhou Fangzun will probably take advantage of the situation to instill in his daughter that even this cheapskate refuses to give you the new year's money, his liking for you is not real, and he will not leave this kind of heart in the future One's green suit bastard stay away!
No matter whether you give it or not, Munakata Reishi will not get any benefit.
That being the case——
Reiji Munakata took out an envelope containing New Year's money prepared in advance for the children at home from the inner pocket on the inside of the windbreaker, and handed it to Zhou Fang Alice.
"In the new year, eat well, sleep on time, and study hard."
The congratulations to her are sincere.
Alice took the envelope with bright eyes, and thanked Retsu Munakata crisply and sweetly: "Thank you, Uncle Reishi!"
Reisi Munakata said "Yes" in satisfaction, but if you think he is so easy to dismiss, then you underestimate the King of Blue!
The fourth king will never suffer!
Munakata Reisi looked at the treasured Alice with a smile, and suddenly made another request.
"For the sake of the New Year's money, can I get a hug from this beautiful and lovely little lady?"
Zhou Fangzun: "?"
"Can't!"
"Oh, why not?" Reiji Munakata asked, "Could it be that my demands are too strong?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just don't!"
"Okay, okay." Munakata Reishi sighed helplessly, "Then, it's not too much to ask this beautiful and lovely young lady to praise me, right?"
Zhou Fangzun: "???"
This time, he stopped fighting with Munakata Reiji and rushed straight to the cashier with Alice in his arms.
However, Munakata Reisi followed closely, taking advantage of Zhou Fangzun's checkout, and continued to guide Alice to praise herself.
"A smart child must remember what others taught her." Munakata Reji said, "Is Zhou Fang Alice a smart child?"
Of course she is!
Upon hearing this, Alice immediately raised her lively little face: "Uncle Reiss is super invincible——hmmm?"
Zhou Fangzun hurriedly picked up the paper bag containing the stationery, and after handing the paper bag over to the hand holding Alice, he finally freed his hand to prevent his little idiot from speaking.
He covered his daughter's mouth, and pinched her face bitterly:
"go home!"
