"That's all for reminiscing about the past, I'm going back."
After cleanly rejecting this invitation, whether it was a temptation or sincerity, Yamada turned around and waved his hands, "You are still young, unlike me who have half a foot in the coffin, try to live on."
After saying so, he started to walk slowly towards his home.
From the beginning to the end, Yamada didn't show any displeasure with Yao and Kato's vigilance, but felt that what they did was the right thing to do.
"It's good to be careful, you can live longer if you are careful..."
The voice gradually faded away, Yao watched his back until he disappeared around a certain corner.
"Let's go." Looking back, Yao signaled the team member to continue leading the way.
"Okay." Kato didn't think too much about it, no matter whether the appearance of the acquaintance just now was a whim or there was another conspiracy behind it, she could only deal with it carefully.
Because of the two sacks of seeds on his back, Yao didn't make a move next, and Kato dealt with the zombies that sprang out from time to time throughout the whole process.
It didn't take long before the two arrived outside a traditional Japanese house.
"This is it?"
"Hmm, this is the house my grandma lived in. Although the my family is not very rich, they didn't sell it, but chose to leave it unused."
Yao nodded, put the two sacks on the ground, and subconsciously glanced at the door.
"Captain, don't smash it!" Seeing that he was about to use violence again, Kato immediately blocked the door with a hint of vigilance.
"I just took a look..." Yao was a little speechless, of course he knew not to smash the door, if he smashed the door, there would probably be zombies knocking on the door when he was sleeping at night.
"I'll go up first, and then you help me get the sack up."
While speaking, Yao stepped back, and then began to run towards the wall.
With the help of inertia, he kicked twice on the not-so-smooth wall, and then grabbed the top of the wall with his arms and exerted strength. The whole body easily stood on the top of the wall.
"Take it."
Kato, who was holding the sack, was a little struggling, not because of her lack of strength, but because of her rough approach, which might cause too much damage to the seeds.
After putting two sacks on the wall one after another, Yao squatted down and stretched out his right hand.
"Hold it."
"Eh?" Kato was a little surprised, she wanted to climb herself.
But since the captain has already said so, if she refuses, will it be very embarrassing?
Kato, who was thinking wildly in her head, jumped hard and reached Yao's hand.
Looking at the team member who was carried in mid-air by him, Yao had a playful smile on his face, and used a strong force.
"Eh!!!"
Feeling a strong force throwing herself into the sky, Kato looked at Yao stretching out her hands in a panic.
Before she came back to her senses, she was firmly caught by Yao.
"Captain, this is not fun at all." Megumi Kato puffed up her mouth slightly, and put her arms around Yao's neck with both hands.
She never thought that one day she would get a princess hug.
"Put me down quickly~"
Even through the white stockings, Kato still felt the scorching temperature on his arm clearly.
There were a few blushes on her face, and her legs shook a few times, but she didn't dare to struggle vigorously.
"Okay, no kidding."
Yao coughed, put her down, picked up two sacks and jumped directly to the ground covered with grass.
"..."
Looking at the ground slightly higher than the wall below, Megumi Kato felt a little apprehensive.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the hesitant expression on the team member's face covering her skirt, Yao put down the sack in his hand, "Do you want me to catch you?"
"This..." Seeing him stretch out his hands towards her again, Kato remembered the experience of jumping off the wall when she was a child, and it hurt for several weeks at that time.
After hesitating for a moment, she still shook her head, and her heart jumped straight down.
"Eh?" Kato Megumi kicked her leg after landing easily, without any pain.
"That's great~" She patted her chest with joy in her eyes.
When she saw Yao jumping down just now, she made a lot of noise, thinking that the height of the wall was much higher than expected.
Looking around the yard full of weeds, Yao asked: "You haven't been back for a long time, have you?"
"Yeah." Kato nodded, "Since grandma passed away, the family seldom comes over."
"It will be dark soon, go in first, and then get something to eat."
Glancing at the sky that had already been stained with golden color, Yao urged the team member in a rare way.
"Okay." Kato Megumi thought for a while and walked towards the back of the yard.
Yao followed behind her, and soon saw a floor-to-ceiling window.
"Because there is nothing of value in the house, the window is left open."
After explaining to him, Kato stepped on the floor and opened the transparent window.
"Captain, wait here first!"
Before Yao had time to follow, Kato left a word and walked quickly towards the inner room.
"What is she going to do?"
Putting the sack on the floor, Yao looked at the empty hall inside, feeling a little puzzled.
About three minutes later, with the sound of footsteps, Kato reappeared with a pair of shoes. At this time, she also put on indoor shoes.
"Here~" Went to the window and knelt down, Megumi Kato put the shoes in front of him, raised her head and looked at Yao with a slight smile, "Welcome the captain to be a guest."
"Ah..."
After waiting for a long time, it turned out to be this, Yao couldn't help chuckling.
He took off his shoes first, and then, like a husband returning from a trip, he put on the indoor shoes specially prepared by Kato.
"Captain, you can take a rest first, if you want eat...wait for me to prepare."
"Okay." After driving for half a day, Yao was also a little tired.
Looking at the girl who started to tidy up the house in a hurry, he put one arm on the low wooden table, closed his eyes and prepared to rest for a while.
…
At night, the surroundings are pitch black.
Considering the safety issue, the two of them did not enter the house to rest, but spread the bedding on the spot in the living room.
Under the repeated insistence of the team member, Yao fell asleep early.
Listening to the sparse chirping of cicadas, Kato looked at the little stars in the yard, revealing a tenderness that had never been shown in front of outsiders.
After a long time, she turned her gaze from outside the courtyard to Yao, looking at his peaceful sleeping face, the corners of her lips raised slightly.
"Hey...captain..."
"Thank you~"
After she finished speaking, she quietly crawled to Yao's side, her hanging hair blocked the surrounding sight, and her eyes were all focused on his face.
Half a minute later, seeing that he still didn't respond, Kato smiled lightly, lifted the hair on both sides of her cheeks with her hands, slowly lowered her head, and tapped lightly on his lips.
The girl who thought she had done something bad immediately blushed and straightened her waist.
"It seems to be a bit long..."
Caressing her hair, Kato thought for a moment, then said something to herself with a light smile.
"Then tie it up."
