Hanyu Qingan left the room, found Toru Amuro who was observing the buns in the courtyard, and ordered:
"The shrine is short of manpower. We need to hire more temporary workers to help when we open the shrine, or borrow the manpower from the Suzuki Foundation to get through this period first, and then hand it over to the little paper figures."
"Don't worry, President, I've prepared all of this." Toru Amuro naturally couldn't wait for Hanyu Kiyosu to remember these chores. He and Kazami Yuya had already made sufficient preparations.
"By the way, President, there is something that needs to take you some time."
"What?"
"President Suzuki said before that he wanted to make a custom-made statue for your shikigami and needed some photos for reference, so..."
Hanyu Qing'an suddenly understood and nodded, "I understand, when will it start?"
Toru Amuro took out a camera from his pocket and said, "If you don't mind, it's best to finish it today."
"..." Hanyu Qing'an looked at the camera in his hand. He had prepared it a long time ago, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
Without saying anything else, Hanyu Qingan went to the restaurant to get some sushi and tea, sat at the stone table under the cherry blossom tree, and began to do the mechanical work of summoning shikigami out of boredom.
He summoned one, and Toru Amuro took photos in a circle around the shikigami.
No, what am I wasting my time here...
After Hanyu Qing'an summoned two or three people, he reacted. He casually grabbed the little paper man who was sweeping the cherry blossoms, and then gave it this difficult task.
Summon all the shikigami in one breath, and then let them obey the instructions of the little paper man. The little paper man then cooperates with Toru Amuro, so that he will have nothing to do.
"Amuro, you take your time here and take pictures. I'll go take care of some other things first. You can use the sushi and tea on the table as you like."
After Hanyu Kiyosu threw the stall to Amuro Toru and the little paper figurine, he went home.
Toru Amuro:......
After returning home, Hanyu Qing'an remembered that there was no one at home today. Suzuki Sonoko, Yuzu and Mao Lilan went shopping. Hanyu Qing'an had nothing to do. He had just eaten sushi again, so he simply took a nap.
I slept until dark...
…
"No matter how you express it
I can convey it to you
from then on
I don’t know how many seasons have passed
And you are always smiling beside me
I have one more thing
Didn't say it to you
…”
A soft and somewhat familiar song slowly sounded in his ears and echoed in his mind. Hanyu Qingan, who was sleeping, frowned slightly and felt a little itchy on his ears.
"Secret of my heart
Don't doubt
Whenever there is a bit of future
You should be able to grasp the truth
…”
Hearing this, Yuyu Qing'an was shocked, opened his eyes suddenly, turned over and sat up, his heart beating violently.
Gu Yan
"What, what's wrong? Did I scare you?" Suzuki Sonoko asked carefully, "Didn't you ask me to sing to wake you up?"
Hanyu Qing'an wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He had heard this song in his previous life. Because of the pleasant rhythm, it was still stored in his phone for a while, so he was familiar with it.
Hearing this suddenly in his sleep, he almost thought that he had gone back again. He was both happy to go home and disappointed to leave here, and his emotions were complicated and difficult to describe.
He sighed, pulled Sonoko onto the bed, held her in his arms, and asked, "Is this song... a newly released one? Why haven't I heard it before?"
Suzuki Sonoko rested her head on his chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, and replied: "It hasn't been released yet. I found someone to get the tape of Mai Akuragi's internal audition, and then I took it back and learned it secretly."
"Mai Kuraki?" Hanyu Kiyoshi frowned. The name seemed familiar. It seemed like there was this singer in the past life, right? Could it be that there was one in the Conan world as well?
Suzuki Sonoko didn't notice his expression, and was explaining sheepishly, "I want to sing a song you've heard, but it's too different from the original song, and you'll definitely laugh at me, so I found one that hasn't been released yet.
"
"..."
To this day, Hanyu Kiyosu still cannot regard this unintentional Versailles behavior as normal. Is this the brain circuit that a normal person should have?
"What's wrong? I sang so badly? Did it scare you?" Suzuki Sonoko felt aggrieved.
"No, it's pretty good. I can sing it normally, but don't sing Kuraki Mai's songs when I'm asleep..."
Hanyu Qing'an didn't want to experience this kind of stimulation again.
"You don't like Mai Kuraki?" Suzuki Sonoko turned her head strangely and looked at his face.
Hanyu Qing'an shook his head, "I still like her songs better, but her songs are more... special and not suitable for listening to when you are half asleep and half awake."
"What would happen if I heard this while half asleep?" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened, as if she was expecting something.
After Hanyu Qing'an noticed it, he responded to this expectation. Hu Su said: "Her songs have a chance of awakening people's memories of past lives, especially when they are half asleep and half awake, which is very dangerous."
"Why is it dangerous?" Suzuki Sonoko was a little confused, "Isn't it a good thing to remember your past life?"
"How could it be a good thing?" Hanyu Qing'an shook his head, "If the memory of the past life is completely awakened, will you still be you?"
"this……"
This question immediately stumped Suzuki Sonoko. She frowned and pondered for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out.
"Okay, stop thinking about it." Hanyu Qing'an ruffled her hair and asked, "What did you buy after shopping all day?"
"this!"
Yuzi, who had been watching quietly, finally spoke up. She got into her shopping bag, rummaged through it, and pulled out a stuffed rabbit. She put it in Hanyu Qing'an's arms like a treasure for him to see.
"Oh, this looks quite similar to the two rabbits at home." Hanyu Qing'an patted her head.
"I also bought a big bear doll for Yuzu, which is bigger than her, so that she can hold it and sleep." Suzuki Sonoko turned around and forgot about the problem she had just studied.
"Yes, this is fine."
Hanyu Qing'an smiled knowingly. When he woke up in the morning, he was often hugged by Yuzu who was sleeping restlessly, or kicked in the face with his fleshy little feet.
With a little bear, you don't have to be pestered by grapefruit like a koala.
"What did you do at home today? Just sleep?" Suzuki Sonoko looked at Hanyu Qingan's messy hair and stretched out her hand to smooth it out for him.
When Suzuki Sonoko asked, Hanyu Qing'an remembered, "I almost forgot that I threw Amuro into the courtyard to deal with work today. There is no exit there at all."
It was rare for Suzuki Sonoko to see him looking so disheveled, so he smiled and said, "You're not afraid of him starving to death in there."
Hanyu Qing'an explained while changing clothes in a hurry: "No, I left sushi and tea for him, so he won't be hungry."
"Okay, I'll go and release him first, and I'll be back soon." After saying this, Hanyu Qing'an opened the portal and walked in.
Stepping into the courtyard, the first thing you see is Toru Amuro sitting on a steamed bun, bored and counting the cherry blossoms falling at five centimeters per second.
