【Round Flame】Sun Flower Field

Ah... grandma really...

It's rare to have a good atmosphere...

"Yuan... Are your legs okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay to walk a little bit."

Although I stumbled, but not to the point of breaking my leg, one of the important purposes of my visit was to sweep the tomb, and in the countryside where the signal is poor and there is no Internet, it is a bit boring not to go out.

"Please, Miss Xiaomei."

"It's me, sorry to bother you..."

Grandma didn't go to visit the tomb in advance... It's understandable to wait to go to the circle with my granddaughter, but I have less time alone.

Uh uh uh...

The cemetery is not very far away. It takes less than half an hour to drive and then walk for a while. In the past, it seemed that they were buried randomly on any side of the hill, and over time it became a cemetery by convention.

When he arrived at Grandpa's grave, Yuan took out a towel to wipe off the dust accumulated on the tombstone, and placed the fruits and flower pots he had brought on it.

"Wow...so big."

"Big?"

Hearing what Homura said, Madoka turned around.

"City cemeteries are very land-saving. Each tombstone occupies a very small space. For example, Yuan's grandfather lives in a villa, and the city cemetery is an apartment building."

"Hey~ Really. I don't know very well, because if anyone in the family dies, they will come and be buried here."

Not many, in total there are only Yuan's grandfather and a few other elderly people in the family whom Yuan hardly knew. They were all very old when they passed away, and they have reached the age when life goes with its own flow. The family is not too sad, but feels that it is Happy event.

...Homura said so, did anyone die in the family?

"Is there someone who died in Homura's family?"

"Ah... um."

She lowered her eyes a little lonely.Yuan felt that he seemed to ask the wrong question, so he stopped continuing this topic.

"Come on, Xiaoyuan, the incense is ready." Grandma handed over the three lit incense sticks, "Miss Xiaomei came here after a long time, shall I pay my respects?"

"Is it alright if I'm an outsider?"

"it's okay no problem."

Every year the process is very routine, but this year's parents and Da couldn't come, so Yuan first apologized to his grandfather.

Just make a wish...

Madoka sneaked a glance at Homura beside her eyes, she is the worship method of pinching the incense on her fingertips... It seems to be more beautiful...?Yuan has always clasped his hands together to hold the incense in his palms, tried the kind of Yan Yan... don't pinch it, it's better to change it back.

"Madoka took Miss Xiaomei to the shrine on the mountain? The old man and I want to talk a little bit. I'm sorry."

After offering incense, grandma said so.

"Yeah, got it. Let's go, Homura."

"okay."

Homura nodded.

"Well... is it my relationship?"

On the way up the mountain, Homura asked hesitantly.

"Ah, no, my parents and my younger brother would let us go to the shrine. Although my grandma and grandpa often quarreled, the relationship is still very good... After all, we have been married for a long time, so I still have some time to be alone. .”

"so."

The shrine on the mountain is very small, the torii is also very simple, and the charity box has also suffered from the wind and sun.It is completely incomparable with the Meiji Shrine in the center of Tokyo.

But Madoka still likes this place more, shrines in big cities, I always feel that there are too many people visiting, and the gods will not be able to take care of them.

Throw in a little money and make a wish...

——Hope that the relationship with Homura will last forever.OK, that's it.

"What wish did Xiao Yan make?" After making the wish, Yuan asked Yan.

"I hope Yuan and Yuan's family members are in good health."

No, no hesitation.

……Uh.

I always feel that I, who made such selfish wishes, seem to have lost...

...but something seems wrong?

After fulfilling her wish, Homura walked around admiring the small shrine, and Madoka looked at her figure.

That's what she said just now, "Me and Yuan and Yuan's family members are in good health"... Where is the family over there?

Somewhat concerned, but this topic seems to be a sensitive one, so Yuan hesitated for a while and still didn't ask.

——Speaking of which, is it an illusion?

On the way down the mountain, Yuan thought about it, Yan didn't talk much during the grave sweeping period, maybe he was in a bad mood.

I don't know what topic to bring up is more motivating.

Ok……

what.

Yuan stopped.

"what happened?"

"wait for me."

Yuan broke away from Yan's supporting hand and walked towards the grass beside the stone steps, "Yuan, be careful—" "I'm fine."

If you read correctly...

Going closer and bending down to look, there are red fruits hidden in the bushes dotted with small white flowers.

"What are you looking for?" Homura approached.

"Come," Yuan avoids those sharp thorns, and picks off a crystal red fruit, which is quite big, "Open your mouth."

"?... so sweet, what is it?"

"Raspberries. There should be quite a lot of them nearby, and not many people come here."

When I was a child, Yuan liked to go to the mountains in summer to pick this, as well as things like wild onions and wild vegetables.

"Homura wait for me~"

"okay."

Where is the dogtail grass... Ah, I found it.

There were quite a few over there just now, and the sharp-eyed Yuan found another raspberry bush not far away.Remove the side leaves and the top down, and tie the remaining branches with two knots at the bottom...

"whee…"

A few minutes later, Madoka put her masterpiece on Homura's neck with a surprised face—although it can't be clasped to become a real necklace, it will still be reduced to the life of food later.

"Ruby Necklace~"

"…puff."

Flame laughed.

Letting go, Madoka handed her a long bunch of raspberries.

"For you, you can eat."

"thanks…"

"There are a lot of interesting things on the mountain. Wild onions are more fragrant than those sold in supermarkets. Then, do you know? When the clover is pulled up in summer, sometimes there will be something like a small white radish at the root, which is sweet and delicious. .”

Flame shook his head.

"It's all things I don't know."

"Next time I go back to the park to play, I'll take you to find it? Although it may not be there, haha..."

"it is good."

It's a bit stupid to play these things in her 20s, but it would be nice to make her happy... Sure enough, it's less worrying when she laughs.

……………….

After returning to grandma's house, Yuan had dinner and was sitting in the corridor eating cantaloupe before realizing it.

etc.From the time I went to the shrine in the afternoon until I went back, I obviously had a lot of alone time.

Ahhhhh I missed it! ! ! ...

The good time given by grandma was wasted... But... if you think about it carefully, the reason why you don't want to continue kissing at noon may be because the atmosphere is still not right.

The good thing is that Homura's mood doesn't seem to be as low as in the afternoon after returning.

Alas...

Sighing, Homura came out of the room.

"That, that... Homura, do you want to go for a walk?"

"Hmm... but is the leg injury okay?"

This... this.

To be honest, I walked a lot in the afternoon and it hurt a bit.

...but that's not the point!It doesn't matter if you bear it... Is there anything you don't have to walk and...

"Yes, let's go for a drive?"

"Okay."

You can go up the mountain road not far from the small town. Horror movies and TV dramas often show murders in deep mountains. In fact, there are not so many such things... and there are many fireflies on the mountain. Watching them at night is more terrifying than the atmosphere. Speaking of, the degree of romance is higher.

"It's exciting to drive in the dark mountains."

"Ah... um... will it drive too fast..."

"It's less than thirty yards. It's very slow."

Pulled over to a clearing and parked... Mmm.

"Come down."

Circle opened the car door.

My father also brought this place here, and there are bright fireflies flying slowly in the grass, which is a rare sight in Tokyo city.

"so beautiful……"

"Right, right?"

Yuan turned over the water glass from the car, it was about to be replaced anyway, just right.

and then--

"Come and catch fireflies!"

Super motivated!

"what?"

"Sure enough, catching fireflies is the most fun activity in summer! Of course, fishing for goldfish during the Obon Festival is also very interesting!"

"Hey??..."

result.

Pulling Homura to catch a bottle of fireflies.

Back in the car, Yuan Jing calmed down and found a problem.

... Am I an idiot?

Yuan felt a little anxious about his EQ.

...Obviously the atmosphere was quite good just now! ! !

Can't grasp the opportunity every time.

Hanging is recommended.

"...that...circle."

"what."

Hearing being called, Yuan recovered from the suggestion to hang himself, "What's the matter?"

"...Today...thank you. You gave me a raspberry necklace, and you brought me to catch fireflies... ah... I always feel like I'm always saying thank you when I'm with Madoka. I'm tired of hearing it."

"No, no..."

"I'm very happy. It's something I haven't been exposed to since I was a child."

"It's very common..."

"..."

"..."

ah...

Yan suddenly stopped talking.

"... at noon... don't you want to continue?"

After waiting for a long time, such a sentence came from the side in a low voice.

"……OK……!"

- Boom! .

"Pain, pain, pain!..."

Head, head hit the ceiling...

"puff…"

Liangliang's arms stretched out to wrap around Yuan's shoulders.

"Fool."

really.

...I like Homura the most.

Light danced in the glass placed on the table.

--------

This is what happened before going to bed after going back↓.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"What's wrong ... ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, this is to be a dead mouse at the door of the room!!! !----"

Yuan and Yan huddled together in horror at the door of the bedroom. Although they were relatively immune to the ketchup in horror movies, dead mice were not in the same category as this one.

Fourteen dead mice lined up neatly blocked the door like private soldiers, neither Yuan nor Yan had the courage to take a step.

Because if you don’t deal with it properly, it will cause mental trauma... In the end, I asked my grandma, who is rich in life experience and brave, to clean it up...

——In fact, cats like to give their owners (close people) their favorite mice, which is an expression of kindness.

Looking at what happened during the day, these guys want to apologize to Madoka...?

"Ah...these guys..."

"Forget it... an apology in the form of cats, they are still good children."

Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.

...I got it, but it's still a little too scary.
