If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

March 21, Spring Equinox (Japan).

This is Lin Nian's fifteenth day living on the ξ level.

Fifteen days have passed. Lin Nian and Mandy stayed at home and were completely cut off from the outside world. If it hadn't been for the poisonous wine that had not been given to the outside world, Lin Nian would have thought that the eight Sheqi families had two different explanations for the outside world. People had already died on the day Genji Heavy Industries was attacked.

However, things took a turn for the better on the fifteenth day, or in other words, it finally came to an end.

Songs played by shinobi and maracas were played in the back room. In the empty living room, Eri Uesugi, wearing a red and white miko costume, danced with a gold and silver fan (a female ceremonial fan) in her hand. Naturally, the audience in the hall were Lin Nian and Man. Di, sitting on the futon, watching very seriously.

In the middle of the dance, footsteps sounded in the cherry blossom wood corridor of the back room. A few seconds later, the sliding door of the living room was quietly opened. Naturally, the person standing in the corridor was Minamoto Zhisheng, but none of the three people in the living room were there. Give him the attention and greetings he deserves, and keep each other's attention on dancing and watching the dance.

Gen Zhisheng, who was carrying three bags, opened the sliding door and saw Eri Yi dancing to the music. He didn't say anything but his eyes twitched obviously. He recognized this dance. It was performed by the priests in the ancestral hall of the eight families in Sheqi. They taught the contemporary shrine maiden Eri's ritual kagura dance.

Every month during the month of worshiping gods, the heads of the eight Sheqi families would rush to the ancestral hall in the sacred mountain to participate in the sacrifices. The dance to worship the gods was completed by the head of the Uesugi family. The Kagura dance Eriyi, which he danced dozens of times, was naturally in harmony with the gods. This dance is so familiar that there is nothing wrong with it. But why is it being danced to the two commissioners of this department now?

Lin Nian noticed Yuan Zhisheng's intrusion and didn't say anything. He pulled a futon and put it next to him and patted it gently. The meaning was clear. Yuan Zhisheng didn't say anything and silently put his pocket on the door. On the other side, I walked to the futon and sat down together to watch Eriki's Kagura dance.

He didn't dare to waste time today. Instead, he said that the most important things had to be dealt with here. Anyway, the whole process of Kagura Dance only lasted five minutes, so it wouldn't make any difference to watch it with these idle bastards.

So there was singing and dancing in the back room, and the three spectators sat upright, with serious expressions on their faces, as if they were watching Japan's first moon landing project.

When the shino flute played its last note, the maracas fell for the last time, and the music subsided, Eriki's dance also came to an end.

The girl's figure is fixed with her back open and her hands slightly bent on her knees. Her long dark red hair falls behind her as smoothly as water reflecting the red color of maple leaves.

Applause sounded. Lin Nian and Mandy clapped loudly, as if they were witnessing the successful landing of the Apollo. Yuan Zhisheng's applause was completely suppressed by the two of them, and a look of confusion appeared on their faces.

Putting down the gold and silver fan, Eriyi ran to the center of the living room with a flutter. Lin Nian and Mandy also picked up futons and surrounded them. They dragged the kotatsu that had been dragged to the corner back. The three of them sat around and buried their heads together and started talking again. Muttering started.

Yuan Zhisheng also went over to take a condescending look at what they were doing on the kotatsu, but all he saw was a table of Monopoly board games on it. Mandy was holding the dice in both hands, blowing wildly and raising it above her head, shaking it wildly and muttering in her mouth. : Come on 6! Come on 6!

It seems that Eriki's Kagura dance was not a whim, but a talent show in Monopoly. As we all know, a girl who is locked up on the ξ floor all year round can only have so many talents. She can clear Metal Slug in one life. It was obvious that it was not a talent, so he just performed such a sacrificial kagura dance under the support of Lin Nian and Mandy.

Anyway, the people watching were happy, and the people dancing saw that they were so happy, so she also became happy together. The originally white face she was squatting in front of the kotatsu became a little more colorful, with a light red tinge in her white face that looked like the month of March. The pale pink cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji bloom enthusiastically and are beautiful and tender.

In the past ten days, the two commissioners of the headquarters seemed to be just sitting idle and looking for something to do. They became completely involved with the head of the Shan family, and they talked and played everything together. They talked about everything and never died. Don’t do it.

PS games, Monopoly, Ludo, and even rock-paper-scissors, whoever loses gets hit (a small game that often appears in Japanese variety shows. Everyone has a helmet and a plastic hammer in front of them. After punching, the winner uses the hammer to hit the loser's head. , the loser who reacts quickly can put on the helmet first, and the one who fails to react will get smashed) I have played it all.

It is worth mentioning that even if Mandy and Eriyi teamed up, they didn't hit Lin Nian's head. On the contrary, he almost smashed their heads into pieces. It's a pity that three and one person were missing to play mahjong, otherwise it would be estimated that They even managed to play strip mahjong while Yuan Zhisheng was away.

We have become friends.

Yuan Zhisheng looked at the three people gathered around the flying chess and thought silently in his heart. He unknowingly put down the serious matters he was planning to mention for the time being. He turned around silently and walked away, picked up the bag at the door and took it back to the table. He opened the red bean paste and glutinous rice package he bought and placed it on the table, and poured new tea for the three of them.

Lin Nian noticed Yuan Zhisheng's actions and was not too surprised. On the contrary, he thought it was appropriate and enthusiastically invited him to sit down and play together, because the person who walked into the living room today was not the head of the Yuan family or the director of the executive bureau, but a simple "Eri's brother", it's a pity that there is no mahjong, otherwise the four of us could just sit next to the kotatsu and play strip mahjong (no).

They were talking and laughing, mainly because Lin Nian and Mandy were joking, and Eryi didn't like it and couldn't speak. All the emotional expressions were written down in the notebook, and she also used the facial expressions that Mandy had recently taught her. For text, I will simply draw ":)" after haha. I don't know when it will evolve to the more advanced "O(∩_∩)O".

Monopoly lasted for about ten minutes, but it seemed that Minamoto's dice luck was not very good today, or maybe it was because she joined too late, so Eriyi collected 100 million yen first and won the "Winner of Life" When he won, he had not completed half of the map, and he only had one bungalow in his hand.

Naturally, he didn't care too much about the outcome of the game. He just sat there drinking tea and watching Eri high-fiving Mandy and Lin Nian beside him. Maybe for him, there is nothing better than watching this scene every round. Roll a 6.

After the game was over, looking at Mandy and Eriki who were starting to clean up the mess of Monopoly, Yuan Zhisheng stood up and walked to the bedroom in the back room. When he opened the sliding door, he looked back at Lin Nian: "Let's come."

Lin Nian, who was helping to clean up, paused for a moment, understood what the other party meant, put away the smile on his face, and followed him calmly into the bedroom.
