18. Little girl

At less than eight o'clock in the evening, the plane that Matou Shinji took had already come to the sky above Fuyuki City, and the lights below were brightly lit. This was a city full of vitality.

Although it was said that it experienced a series of disasters four years ago, because it is near the seaside with beautiful scenery, there is a good port, and the mayor here is not a disservice, and soon Fuyuki City has developed again, and even It is more prosperous than before the Fuyuki fire.

"Oops!"

Matou Shinji exclaimed in a low voice, attracting the inquiring eyes of Musi beside him.

"I forgot to bring a present for Sakura!"

Matou Shinji looked up at Mu Si with a helpless expression. After all, he was still a little embarrassed when he left Guanbuzi City, so he didn't even remember to prepare a gift for Sakura.

Mousse, who was wearing a light cyan dress, said with a smile, "It's okay, just buy a gift for her in the shops around the airport. For Sakura, the most important thing is your intentions. It doesn't matter what the cloth city buys."

"is this okay?"

Matou Shinji said with some uncertainty, he has always been unable to understand the girl's heart, so it is not clear whether this is feasible.

"Trust me, Xiao Sakura is too happy to see your gift, and doesn't mind where you bought it at all."

Mousse said with a light smile.

Only then did Matou Shinji feel relieved, and then he looked at the brightly lit Fuyuki City below, and after going to the place in Kanbuzi City, he felt that his hometown was really beautiful.

After the plane landed, Matou Shinji and Mousse walked out of the airport and went to a nearby gift shop. Matou Shinji bought a delicate cherry-colored hair clip for Matou Sakura. The price is not expensive, so there should be no problem, right? Shinji thought hesitantly.

It was very late, so the two of them did not notify the Matou family driver to come to pick up the airport in advance, and they hired a taxi near the airport. Matou Shinji took a small gift box with a hairpin and sat down with Mousse. car.

...

In the basement of Matou's house, the originally gloomy and empty worm cave was transformed into a room for research and experimentation of magic. Dozens of brass lamp sockets on the walls shed light, and the beautiful lampshades have delicate patterns, making the lighting just right. Neither harsh nor dim.

Tall bookshelves stand around the basement, with various magic books lined up neatly on it, and almost all of the Matou family's library has been moved down.

There are still some shelves in the wide basement, where various magic materials are placed. In the center of the room are several rectangular tables. At this time, a black-haired girl is sitting on a large chair, earnestly. Read a heavy book.

The cover of this book is wrapped in metal, and the paper is old-fashioned yellow. I don't know how much time has passed, and they have been safe and sound under the protection of magic.

That's why Matou Sakura was able to see the content of this book. At this time, she was wearing a simple suspender dress at home, her white bare feet were hanging in the air, and her round and delicate toes were entangled with each other playfully.

But she doesn't seem to care about the behavior of her toes, she just reads the words on the book seriously, her expression is calm and her eyes are calm, and she reads the book with a seriousness beyond her age. You must know that most girls in her grade are Love dolls and play.

The long black hair was scattered behind her back, and a few strands of long hair accidentally fell from her ears and fell on the pages of the book, but the little girl who read carefully did not notice this situation. It will take some time for these strands of hair to come. Can stay on the page.

"Ring Lingling—!"

A crisp phone call sounded here, pulling Matou Sakura out of her world. She sighed slightly, jumped off the chair, put on her shoes, and walked towards the retro-style landline, with a hint of doubt on her face.

This landline is usually only called by domestic servants. After all, they cannot enter the basement, so they can only notify the people in the basement by phone.

After picking up the phone, Matou Sakura's peaceful eyes gradually changed, showing joy and excitement. After hanging up the phone, she immediately ran towards the exit. When she passed a mirror placed in the basement, she also carefully checked herself. 's appearance.

"It should be... no problem, right?"

After a little hesitation, Matou Sakura tidied the strands of hair behind her ears, and then walked outside.

"Huh...it's really comfortable—!"

Matou Shinji was lying on the sofa in the hall, feeling the familiar touch and the reassuring sight around him, making him want to lie here forever and not get up.

At this time, he was wearing a blue T-shirt, which was changed by Mousse when he was in a coma in Guanbuzi City. Although the two clothes woven with spider silk were good, they were torn and stained with blood. , it is impossible to wear it back.

As for the injuries on his body, whether it was the long and narrow wound on his arm or the scar on his chest, they all healed within this period of time, and Matou Shinji's terrifying physical fitness was evident.

And Mousse put the luggage of the two back to their original places. She looked very relaxed. After all, as long as she had energy, she would always have plenty of physical strength.

Da da--!

The sound of hurried and familiar footsteps sounded, and a smile appeared on the corner of Matou Shinji's mouth, and he immediately sat up straight, no longer that lazy look.

Looking at Matou Sakura who was walking towards him, Shinji subconsciously revealed a soft smile: "Sakura, I'm back."

The footsteps stagnated for a moment, and then resumed the rhythm the next moment, a blush appeared on Matou Sakura's face, and then slowed down and sat next to Matou Shinji. This large sofa has enough space for the two of them to sit together. .

"Why didn't you notify me in advance? It's not that there is no phone at home, so I, let me be unprepared for anything..."

Matou Sakura stared at Shinji, complaining a little, but her voice became smaller and smaller, and the blush on her face became more intense.

Fortunately, Matou Shinji's hearing is very sensitive. Otherwise, I am afraid that he would be confused now. For the girl's small complaints, Matou Shinji could only touch his head and show a helpless smile.

"I didn't do it on purpose, it was because of some unexpected events, so I delayed coming back until this time, thinking that you might fall asleep, so I didn't notify you... sorry, sorry! But this time I brought you gift."

Matou Shinji hurriedly handed the gift and the gift to Matou Sakura, which made her smile with joy. Although it was said that every festival and her birthday, Matou Shinji would never forget Sakura's gift, no matter the gift. No matter what, whether it is precious or not, Matou Sakura is extremely happy and cherished.
