Chapter 105
After chatting casually, Qingxi started talking about the butterfly house.
"When we came in from the Butterfly House just now, we saw a girl about my age. What was going on?" she asked. "She was standing in the front yard, dumbfounded. When I talked to her, she just stared back at me blankly, expressionless."
"It's like—" she said, "a puppet."
Yagen Toushirou adjusted his glasses and said, "The general is talking about Kanae, right?"
He was about to continue speaking, but was stopped by the girl. She said, "This name... is very similar to Sister Kanae's."
The black-haired boy nodded. "The Butterfly Sisters bought that child from someone during one of their street patrols. She originally had no name. 'Kanameu' was given to her by Miss Kanae, and 'Lihualuo' was the last name she chose herself from among many possible candidates."
"She's a year older than the general," he said. "She's ten this year, but because of chronic malnutrition, she looks even smaller than the general."
Qingxi smacked her lips after hearing this, "Looking at Kanaoko's expression, I thought I was older than her."
But immediately, she felt something was wrong. "So, according to the age I've announced to the public, I'm still the youngest in the Butterfly House?"
...How about she tell others that she is ten years old this year, or eleven years old?
Yagen Toushirou, not knowing what was going on in his general's mind at the moment, considered the matter from a doctor's perspective. He said, "General, you should have a lot of nutritious ingredients... milk would be fine. If there's no artificial intervention on Kanao's body, I'm worried that she won't be very tall when she grows up."
At this time, it is necessary to drink more fresh milk.
Qingxi understood that it was just an extra meal. "Okay, I'll give Kanae special treatment during your time here."
As if she had thought of something, she added, "But I still need to talk to Sister Kanae and Sister Shinobu about this matter first. Well, Sister Shinobu is tall, so I think she should also be included in the list of people who will be given special treatment.
But I think if I really said these words to her face, she would probably hit me."
"Since you know you'll be beaten by me, then don't say it." The girl's angry voice sounded, causing the three people in the room to look outside the shoji door.
Seeing Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Kocho standing outside the eaves, each holding the hand of a girl in the middle, Kiyoki reacted and glared at Toushirou Yagen. It was okay with Tsurumaru Kuninaga, but what's wrong with you, Yagen?
She absolutely didn't believe that he didn't notice someone was coming.
Qingxi changed her previous indecent posture and sat up, "Sister Kanae, Sister Shinobu, you are back."
Her gaze fell on Kurihanaru Kanao, and after silently saying "You're the one" in her heart, she walked out of the house and sat on the corridor with a smile. "We were just talking about Kanao. We were originally asking what her condition was, but we didn't explain it clearly and ended up talking about her height."
Kocho Kanae carried Kurikaraku Kanae to the hallway and sat her down before she and Kocho Shinobu joined her. "As for Kanae, she looked like this when we bought her. I guess she was influenced by her family when she was little."
"It's good that you see her like this now." Having been sidetracked, Shinobu Kocho temporarily put aside the fact that Qingxi had just been secretly talking about her height. "When we first brought her home, we put the food in front of her. Even though she was growling with hunger, she just stared at the food, not even reaching out to pick up the chopsticks. Only when we told her to eat did she move."
"There's actually such a thing?" Qingxi was stunned. The next moment, her mouth started moving on its own. "If she can't take care of herself, how will she live alone in the future?"
As if she had found an ally, Shinobu Kocho became a little excited. "Yes, that's what I told my sister, but do you know how she solved this problem?"
"How did you solve it?" Qingxi became interested and asked curiously.
"My sister gave Chana a coin and told her that if she didn't know what to do, she could let the coin make the decision for her... That's just nonsense."
Qingxi nodded after hearing this, it was just nonsense.
She reached out and touched Kurihanaroku Kanao's head. When she looked over, she said with a serious expression, "Kanaao, I'm your elder sister, Qingxi."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was hit on the head by Kocho Shinobu. With a few well-shaped characters on her forehead, Kocho Shinobu angrily said, "Aki, why are you acting like your sister at this time?"
"Listen up, Kana." said Shinobu Kocho. "Aki is younger than you, so you are the older sister."
Qingxi curled her lips, "Given our height, if we go out together, everyone will think I'm the older sister."
Seeing that Kocho Shinobu was about to be annoyed again, she asked Kanao to turn her head and look at her. She said, "You can put aside your other problems for now, but there is one thing you must remember, and you must keep it in mind.
That is, whenever you feel hungry, find a way to fill it.
Of course, stealing or robbing is absolutely not allowed, so remember to carry money with you.
If you don’t know what to eat at a restaurant, eat noodles. If you don’t know what noodles to eat, eat the best noodles the restaurant sells.”
After Qingxi finished speaking, she waited for a long time but there was no response from the other party. Just when she was suspicious, she took out a coin. After seeing the coin, she understood it immediately.
However, as she was about to flip the coin, she grabbed her hand and muttered to herself, "What I just said shouldn't be difficult to answer."
Seeing that everyone around her was watching her play, she thought for a moment and changed her tone. She asked, "Did you remember it? If you remember, nod your head. If you don't understand, shake your head."
Multiple choice question, this should be no problem.
She thought silently in her heart.
Fortunately, the other party didn't even know how to answer such a question that gave her a choice.
Then, she saw the petite girl, who was taller than herself, nodded.
Qingxi was satisfied, so the next thing was easy to handle. He asked tentatively: "So, if you are hungry, will you find a restaurant to eat?"
Seeing that the other party was staring at her like a wooden stick again, Qingxi grinned and said in a serious tone, "This is an order."
"So, will you do what I just said?" she continued. To this end, she took the coin from Chanahu's hand, flipped it over, and finally slapped the inscribed side upwards into her palm. "Okay, the inscribed side is facing up, you can talk now."
Lihua Luo Kanai's eyes: ...
Perhaps, this was the first person she met who could openly show her shamelessness in front of others.
Unfortunately, I have difficulty speaking to others and have no idea how to deal with people like Qingxi.
Puff——
hehe--
The four people who watched the entire interaction between the two little girls couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
But after a chuckle, the four of them tacitly remained silent and continued to watch how things would develop.
Kurihana Ryokanai looked at Qingxi's tough attitude, then looked at the coin facing up that was slapped in her palm. She opened her mouth and repeated Qingxi's words. When she asked the last question, she replied in a flat voice: "...I will follow orders."
"Good boy." After getting the answer she wanted, a sweet smile appeared on her originally serious face. "You still have to flip a coin to eat. If the result is the flower side, then you don't have to eat. That's good. There are people watching over you in the Butterfly House, so Chana won't starve. When she goes out, you don't have to worry about her starving to death because of habit."
The Butterfly sisters looked at Qingxi's order, which decided that Kurika Ryūkanai would have to find a restaurant to eat noodles when she was hungry when she went out in the future. They thought this was a good idea, but at the same time, Shinobu Kocho felt helpless.
She placed her own hand next to Qingxi's on Kanao's head, "Anyway, Kanao, please become independent as soon as possible."
"Come to think of it, Kanao seems to be having difficulty making decisions. How about letting her make more choices in the future?" Qingxi suggested.
But she immediately noticed that something was wrong with the girl above her head.
She lowered her head and saw that her eyes were still wide open, but a lot of sweat had appeared on her face in a short period of time, and her body became stiff and looked unable to move.
Qingxi was stunned for a moment, looking at the Butterfly Sisters in confusion, "I just made a suggestion, will symptoms appear?"
Seeing the two nod, she said, "This is already a sign of a serious psychological problem."
"Well, let's change the subject." Qingxi was also scared at this moment, "Her body is smaller than mine. I have some clothes that are a little small for me, but are still relatively new. Does she need them?"
"If it's Kanae, she probably won't mind." Butterfly Kanae said. "In fact, the clothes she's wearing are still from Shinobu's childhood. Don't you think they suit her well?"
"Girls can't just wear other people's hand-me-downs," said Shinobu Kocho. "All the money I had before was used to buy her back. I can only buy her new clothes after I get my salary next month."
"Sorry, sorry, I overlooked this. I have money, but it's late now. Let's take Chana out shopping tomorrow." Butterfly Chanahui raised her hand and patted her forehead. "But..." She dragged out her voice, "Shinobu is really gentle."
Kocho Shinobu was embarrassed: "Sister!!"
"I have some fabric here. Do you want to make it yourself?" Qingxi raised her hand. "It's a lucky bag I bought for the New Year. There are one or two pieces of fabric in it that are quite good."
"In that case, I'll leave Kanao to you, Aki." Butterfly Kanae gently pushed Kurika Raku Kanao towards Qingxi, happily deciding to be a hands-off boss.
