Chapter 3 Thank You for Raising Your Hand (Please Collect!!!)

In fact, you don’t need to prepare too much for New Year’s visits. For ordinary people, as long as the money is available, the gods in the shrine will naturally come.

Kitagawa Eri certainly understands this truth.

only--

Beichuan Eri glanced at her shriveled purse, expressing her helplessness with her meager financial resources.

My mother has always entrusted money to Kitagawa Temple, who is older than Kitagawa Eri.

And Beichuan Temple used to have a sullen and silent attitude before, and Beichuan Eri was very afraid of her brother, so it was as difficult as heaven to get money from him.

but--

I still really want it, I really want it——I really want the lucky money! ! !

"I wanted to buy a few new clothes." Kitagawa Eri wanted to sigh at first, but when she thought of the slang phrase 'happiness will slip away from a sigh', she patted her face again to cheer up.

Speaking of which, why did Nisan suddenly think of going to pay homage in the New Year?

While thinking this way, she wrapped herself in a thin coat, rubbed her hands, bent her body, and walked downstairs patteringly.

Before she came to the living room, she was stopped by Beichuan Temple.

"It may be a bit late, but it's still a happy new year."

Beichuan Temple casually handed the lucky money bag to Beichuan Eri, and calmly sent blessings.

Why?

"Can you really accept it?" Beichuan Eri was surprised. Just now she was talking about the New Year's money on the top, but she didn't expect that the New Year's money was handed over to her when she went to Lou Beichuan Temple.

And that thick feeling is not like the feeling of randomly stuffing a few coins or one or two thousand yen.

"This is for you, you can use it however you want." Beichuan Temple nodded.

He himself really doesn't understand the folk customs of Japan, but the power of money is always infinite.

At least he felt that a little girl like Beichuan Eri should have something she wanted to buy and clothes she wanted. He didn't care about what happened to Beichuan Temple before, but the New Year's money still had to be given.

Just looking at Kitagawa Eri's excited expression now, he also feels that there is nothing wrong with his behavior.

Beichuan Temple withdrew his gaze from looking up and down, got up and walked to the living room——

Beichuan Eri naturally felt the coldness in Beichuan Temple's eyes, the excitement of getting the lucky money was immediately suppressed, and the whole person was a little uneasy.

The character of Beichuan Temple has changed so much in the past few days. Could it be that the other party is trying to be brave again? Like the months my father had just died.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Eri's complexion subconsciously changed.

If so...

Kitagawa Eri gritted her teeth, the New Year's money bag in her hand was tightly clenched, and finally——

"Te-Te Nisan!" Beichuan Eri clenched the money bag with both hands, lowered her head, and handed it back to Beichuan Temple.

"..." Beichuan Temple.

Beichuan Temple's gaze was as calm and clear as before. Regarding Beichuan Eri's actions, he just tilted his head and spit out a sentence:

"not enough?"

Um?

Beichuan Eri's snow-white face turned red all of a sudden, she knew that Beichuan Temple had misunderstood, so she looked at a loss,

"No, it's not! It's...it's that... Nisan has been working hard, and I can't fall behind, that is to say... that is to say..."

The sound gets smaller as you go to the back.

Snapped...

Beichuan Temple put his down jacket on Beichuan Eri.

"Don't talk about it for now, you go wash and change your clothes first, breakfast is ready, we will set off later."

Beichuan Temple's voice still sounded stiff, but Beichuan Eri subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

She had quietly seen just now that Beichuan Temple went to the sofa in the living room to get a down jacket for herself.

ha--

Seeing the busy figure of Beichuan Temple, Beichuan Eri breathed a sigh of relief at her red palms from the cold, and then stomped her feet.

It's still cold!

The "warm current gushing out of my heart" mentioned in the novel did not appear at all!

Kitagawa Eri hurriedly walked to the bathroom.

 …

After eating a simple breakfast of toast and milk, Kitagawa Temple and Kitagawa Eri stepped on the frozen ground and walked towards the shrine.

It snowed last night, and the houses on both sides have been completely whitened by the snow.

Snow plows pile up thick layers of snow to both sides of the road, freeing a path for people to walk on.

The cold air whizzed past overhead, until people buried their necks under their collars.

Pedestrian groups like Kitagawa Temple and Kitagawa Eri go to the New Year to visit the shrine. After all, not everyone can spare time to rush to the shrine on January 1st.

But the number of people has nothing to do with Beichuan Temple, he will take Beichuan Eri to visit New Year's worship.

"If it's too cold, how about going back and adding some more pants?" Beichuan Temple turned around and persuaded patiently.

He couldn't understand what Kitagawa Eri was thinking, the lower body was just a short skirt with pantyhose in such a cold weather.

Although the pantyhose looked quite thick, Beichuan Temple didn't think it could keep warm enough.

"No way, Si Nisang, don't you see that there are a few girls like me in front of you?"

Indeed, under the direction of Beichuan Eri, Beichuan Temple did see a few girls walking and talking and laughing in front of them. Their lower bodies were undoubtedly a combination of short skirts with pantyhose or stockings.

only...

After looking at it for a while, the three girls clearly felt Beichuan Temple's gaze, and they all turned around and walked back.

"Te...Te Nisan." Beichuan Eri pulled Beichuan Temple's palm and swallowed.

"Don't be afraid, it seems to be an acquaintance."

Feeling the playful familiarity in the eyes of the leading girl, Beichuan Temple's heart moved.

Could it be someone that Beichuan Temple knew at school?

Just look at the opponent's posture...

Beichuan Temple breathed steadily and raised his head calmly.

At this time, the three girls had come to him.

These three girls are of course acquaintances of Beichuan Temple, and the long-haired little girl named Hoshino Nana who is the leader is even the object of Beichuan Temple's unrequited love and crush in the first year of high school. But after Beichuan Temple was called out by the other party for various reasons to play and bully, and after seeing Hoshino Nana again, Beichuan Temple basically took a detour.

At this time, Hoshino Nana saw that Beichuan Temple saw that she was still indifferent, and she couldn't help speeding up her feet, and also made a heavy nasal sound.

"Beichuan, you pretended to be a big-headed ghost after the winter vacation? You didn't take the initiative to roll over when you saw me?"

The indifference and indifference of Beichuan Temple felt like a different person, which only made her very upset.

Facing her furious look, Beichuan Temple just frowned, and asked calmly:

"Who are you?"

Beichuan Temple didn't even have an impression of this person's voice, and he probably wasn't a friend who brought him valuable information on his mobile phone, so he didn't even want to talk to him.

"Who am I? My name is Hoshino Nana, do you have any impression now?"

Hearing Beichuan Temple's words, Hoshino Nana squeezed over without saying a word, this little girl really didn't expect Beichuan Temple to dare to say such words to herself.

"I don't have much impression." Beichuan Temple shook his head calmly.

Seeing Beichuan Temple's attitude, Hoshino Nana's complexion changed, and she was about to get angry when she saw Beichuan Eri who was shrinking behind Beichuan Temple.

Kitagawa Eri is wearing a dark blue skirt with a beige lady's windbreaker on her upper body. She looks cute and has a little sense of innocence.

"Okay! Beichuan, let me tell you why you are so courageous. It turns out that you, a despicable guy, have found a new love."

The little girl's inexplicable emotion broke out, Hoshino Nana stretched out her palm to grab Kitagawa Eri's face.

But who would have thought that when he stretched out his hand in mid-air, Beichuan Temple firmly grasped it.

Snapped! ! !

A slap slapped Hoshino Nana's face.

This time, not only Hoshino Nana and her buddies were stunned, but even Kitagawa Eri's eyes widened.

"You hit me?...Blood...I..." Hoshino Nana opened her mouth, and blood oozes from her mouth.

She was so angry that she couldn't even speak clearly.

He was actually beaten?

Beaten by that wimpy Beichuan Temple that he had teased and insulted?

"Subconscious action." Beichuan Temple let go of Hoshino Nana's palm, and his voice was cold.

He raised his head, the indifference in his eyes not only made Hoshino Nana stunned, even the two little girls behind Hoshino Nana were wondering if they had admitted the wrong person.

This is what Bei Chuan Temple, who was autistic in school, looked like? No matter how you think about it, it is impossible.

"I don't have the slightest impression of Hoshino-san. And you hit my sister as soon as we met, isn't it a little rude?"

"You confessed your love to me before!!!" Hoshino Nana simply screamed at Beichuan Temple's indifferent attitude.

Why does she have the feeling of being eaten up for no reason?

"Did Hoshino-san agree to my confession?" Beichuan Temple said calmly.

"How could I agree to you, a coward like you?" Hoshino Nana said angrily, angrily.

"Then I really want to thank Hoshino-san for your kind hand and letting go of me, a child who is not deeply involved in the world."

Kitagawa Temple slowly and leisurely led Kitagawa Eri past Hoshino Nana.

Looking at that calm and unhurried calm, the three of Hoshino were all in a daze.

This person...is really Beichuan Temple?
