Anna Kushina spent her first birthday after losing her parents in Houmaira.
Her aunt, Honami Kushina, came to visit her twice because she was worried about her, but considering Anna's status as an outsider, she might be in danger if she followed her. After careful consideration, Honami Kushina entrusted Anna to Suho Takashi.
In addition, Anna likes Houmu Luo very much, and everyone in Houmu Luo has no objection to such a little girl. Anna integrates into Houmu Luo steadily.
She has completely become a member of the Red King's clan.
As for Hyuga Hajime, the outsider who was mistakenly believed by them to be able to sense other people's emotions, although his relationship with Jutsuka became better and better, everyone in Houmaira was very polite to him, and he often went to the bar and even ordered orange juice every time he went there, but Hyuga Hajime never became a member of the Red King's clan.
Jushu Duoduoliang once asked about this matter in a tactful way.
"Bonds and ties are great, but I may not be suitable for them." Hinata Hajime stretched lazily, "I prefer freedom. Of course, I am not saying that everyone's ties are constraints, but I probably already have such a bond, and I can't connect another one."
"What kind of tie is it?"
"I forgot." Hinata Hajime smiled helplessly, "But that's what I think."
Jutsu Tadara teased, "Is it the bond and tie between you and your girlfriend?"
"I've already told you that it's not necessarily your girlfriend." Hinata Hajime retorted, "It's just a ring."
"But only couples would wear such a ring, which means you are half and I am half. Even now, everyone has such expectations for love."
Looking at Juzuka Tadara, Hinata Hajime smiled helplessly and untied the chain from behind him, "Not necessarily."
Hinata Hajime dropped the chain in front of Jutsu Tadara and said, "Look, have you found anything?"
Jutsu Tadoroki blinked his eyes, carefully took the chain, and looked at the ring carefully. After a moment, he said in surprise, "This is not one ring, but two. How amazing!"
"Right." Hinata Hajime put the chain back on. "Look, this is not a couple's ring for each of us to wear in half. It's a souvenir for me alone."
Juushu Tadara and Hinata Hajime looked at each other.
After a moment he shook his head, "I don't understand."
"Don't understand?"
"I've never seen anyone take two rings that can be perfectly disguised as one as a souvenir." Jutsu Tadara said with a smile: "Even if it is a decoration, there should be a place for decoration. Rings should be worn on fingers, not strung together with a chain and hung around the neck."
Hinata Hajime stroked his chin, "…what you said seems to make sense."
"The chest is closer to the heart." Jutsu Tadara patted Hinata Hajime's shoulder. "It's not worn on the finger but hung around the neck like a necklace. It's a bit of a cover-up."
So Hinata Hajime was successfully led into the ditch, "You mean to say that there is really something wrong with me?"
"It could be a special order prepared as a confession of love." Jutsu Tadara boldly guessed, "Or it could be a souvenir that was returned after a breakup."
"Either one of them sounds a bit pathetic."
"Come on!" Jutsu Tadara teased, "If it's the former, I will cheer for you along with Kusanagi and the others and help you succeed in your confession!"
“No need!”
In short, after getting the response, Tosuka Tadoroki left. He has recently become interested in painting. Every day he goes to the flea market to look for interesting pigments, and then paints with those various colors. He also said that he would paint everyone. Of course, as a beginner, Tosuka Tadoroki's painting skills are really not that good.
Misaki Hatta once showed her self-portrait to five people who came to the bar, and everyone said: This black dog is well painted, but it looks a bit like a human.
The reason why Misaki Hatta did not tear up the painting on the spot was because she respected Touzuka Tadara.
Yawning lazily, Hinata Hajime leaned against the window and looked outside. Winter was disappearing, and the breath of spring was spreading little by little. New buds could be seen on the branches closest to the windowsill.
"So, did you choose the ring?" Hinata Hajime suddenly spoke.
Kamizuru said, “Why did you come to this conclusion?”
"Because I still stick to my own views, I won't just go find a girlfriend or someone and order a ring." Hinata Hajime leaned on the windowsill, "Two rings can be perfectly put together, and it's almost impossible to tell that they are two rings. This kind of craftsmanship is rare."
"It's like two identical people, but in the eyes of others, even if they are overlapped, they are still an ordinary person."
Kamizaru did not deny it, but he also did not admit it, "It doesn't matter whether it is true or not."
"It's very meaningful. For example, why would you make a ring?" Hinata Hajime picked up the ring with one hand, the ring's appearance reflected in his emerald eyes, "Why not something else? Isn't it too strange that a souvenir is a ring? Just like Jutsuka said, isn't it strange that the ring is not worn on the finger but hidden in the clothes?"
"Humans are so boring. Anything that is not above board is weird."
"So why not do it openly?" Hinata Hajime walked back from the window sill. He sat on the chair and leaned back to stretch his body. "Unless this is really not an open and aboveboard thing, right, Deru?"
"Rings are generally a symbol of couples."
Kamukura Izuru was silent for a few seconds, then he spoke, "After losing your memory, apart from the initial panic, you have become more and more bold in your words."
"Really?" Hinata Sou sighed, "Maybe it's because of amnesia."
Hinata Hajime stood up, his voice was very calm, even too calm.
He said, "Because I have forgotten the past and don't know who you are, I know nothing except that you won't hurt me. Therefore, there will be no shackles of the past to trap me, and no factors of reality to make me hesitate, so I will think more than normal."
"Whether it's normal or not, as long as it's logical, I will say it."
"Just think of yourself as being like everyone else who has nothing to lose and is therefore reckless."
Kamukura Izuru listened to what Hinata Hajime said, and after a moment he spoke, "You are not without anything."
"Hmm?"
"You have companions, responsibilities, dreams and a future." Kamizuru said, "Like everyone else, it should be me."
Hinata Sou thought about it, then he stood up, took out his coat from the hanger next to him and put it on.
He opened the door, and the next moment a gust of cold wind blew through Hinata Hajime's clothes. The weather in early spring was not warm at all. Hinata Hajime exhaled and then went out in one go.
"What are you doing?"
"Go find something."
Kamuzuru Izuru stood up in the spiritual space and asked, "Looking for something?"
"Yes, look for something." Hinata Hajime was in a good mood, and he even had a smile on his face the whole time as he ran in the cold wind of early spring. "I don't think you have nothing, Izuku, so let's go find something you have. In addition to your talent, you must have something that belongs to you."
Shenzuo sighed and shook his head. He neither refused nor stopped him and let him go.
From the time he started collecting fragments of hope until now, Hinata Hajime has rarely been in such high spirits. He is doing something seriously just for the sake of joking, rather than doing something to change his mood.
Without the pressure of saving the world, without the responsibility of being a desperate and remnant party, he really feels relaxed.
So Kamukura Izuru just quietly watched Hinata Hajime walking on the street, with shops on both sides of the road.
Hinata Sou entered a snack shop. He spent a long time choosing and finally picked two straw cakes.
"Will Deru have straw cakes?"
"No, that's what you like." Kamukura Izuru denied, "I don't hate it, and I don't like it."
"oh."
Hinata Hajime finished his straw cake, paid the bill and continued walking forward, but soon he stopped at the door of a craft shop. He saw the exquisite jewelry in the cabinet through the glass, and then shifted his gaze to see the thousand paper cranes decorated not far away.
"Does Izuru want a thousand paper cranes?"
"No, it's boring."
"It seems that ordinary symbolic meanings can't move you." Hinata Sou sighed. He stood up and said goodbye to Chizhizuru reluctantly.
He doesn't like the food, and childish symbols are not allowed. Hinata Hajime once again thought about what Kamukura Izuru would like, but after thinking about it, it seems that Kamukura Izuru does not show any outstanding love for anything. Thinking of this, Hinata Hajime nodded, with a look of no surprise on his face.
So Kamuzuru Izuru watched Hinata Hajime walking down a street, but he only found things that interested him.
Every time he found one, Hinata Hajime would ask Kamijou Izuru whether he owned it, and every time Hinata Hajime would get a negative answer.
Walking to the end of the street, Hinata Hajime walked into a flower shop with a smile.
"This is the last thing." Kamukura Izuru was obviously a little bored.
Hinata Hajime smiled and replied, "It's already finished. In fact, I was going to buy this for myself."
As he spoke, Hinata Hajime looked at the flowers around him, and bought a few roses and sunflowers after the proprietress's diligent inquiries. The proprietress couldn't understand why Hinata Hajime wanted to match two completely different kinds of flowers together, and she ended up with a mess after all the effort she put in.
But Hinata Hajime liked it very much. He walked out of the flower shop holding the bouquet of flowers, and the proprietress apologized as she sent him out.
"You said you were looking for something I owned, but you ended up buying something for yourself."
"Really?" Hinata Sou laughed, a rare and happy laugh, "Ah, it feels like I haven't been out for a stroll this happily for a long time."
"But I found something you have, Izuku."
Kamuzou Izuru did not move.
"Whether it's the straw mochi, the thousand paper cranes, or this bouquet of flowers, they are all mine. They belong exclusively to Hinata Hajime."
"But Kamuzuru Izuru, you are not completely without anything. You own Hyuga Hajime." Hyuga Hajime said with a smile while holding the flower: "Because you own Hyuga Hajime, then everything Hyuga Hajime owns is yours, whether it is straw cakes, thousand paper cranes or flowers."
"I think that's the most logical decision."
