Zenin Kiyoshi and the others' conversation did not deliberately avoid Hanami. She was currently sitting under a tree, gently stroking a bush clover (hagi). Hearing the two of them talking, Hanami raised her head in some astonishment.
The young man seemed to have met her gaze and walked over with a smile. A gentle breeze blew, and the joyful aura of the plants came, as if they were sucking in that full vitality.
"What kind of flower do you like?"
Before Hanami could react, the young man had already walked in front of her and then asked her a question in a gentle voice.
She looked at the young man in front of her, and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer this question.
Hanami hadn't been born for too long. Humans' fear of natural plants may have existed for many years, but after the death of the previous natural cursed spirit, Hanami was slowly born.
How did the previous one die? Hanami didn't know. She had no relevant memories. Perhaps she was killed by a sorcerer, or perhaps she committed suicide. Jogo didn't tell her, and she didn't ask.
No one would be too curious about the past and future of a cursed spirit, not even the cursed spirit itself, because their lives were only filled with slaughter and loneliness.
And from the time she had her own consciousness until now, this was the first time someone had asked her what she wanted. This feeling was very strange. She felt a little at a loss, as if something was stuck in her throat.
She wanted to answer early, but she didn't know what to say.
Hanami had her own favorite flowers, but she didn't know if she should say it, let alone why the young man in front of her was doing this. She and he were clearly two completely opposing groups...
"I... I don't know the specific prices in the human world."
After holding it in for a long time, Hanami only said this one sentence. Her voice was very beautiful, like a clear spring in the mountains. In this scorching summer, it could also bring people an indescribable coolness.
Zenin Kiyoshi looked at Hanami, a faint smile and surprise in his eyes. To be honest, Hanami's answer really exceeded his expectations.
He had thought that Hanami would say the names of some flowers, or directly refuse his kindness, and even thought that the other party might directly attack him, but he had never thought that Hanami would consider his wallet.
How to describe this feeling? It was as if his kindness had also received an equal gift at this moment.
"Do you want to go together? If we find a flower you like then, we can also bargain."
As Zenin Kiyoshi spoke, he extended his hand to Hanami. He looked at Hanami. Under the scattered sunlight, the other party's face did not look scary. Instead, it had a faint sense of natural transparency.
Looking at the young man's outstretched hand, Hanami didn't know what to do for a moment. To choose flowers with a human? This kind of thing wouldn't happen unless it was in a dream, right?
But when the other party held her hand, the soft touch seemed to be telling her that all of this was not her illusion.
"Let's go. I don't know those flowers by myself either. If they get damaged when we move them back, it would be a very regrettable thing, wouldn't it?"
Hanami didn't remember how she was persuaded by the other party. When she came back to her senses, she was already sitting on the sofa.
In front of her was a cup of hot tea. A gentle breeze blew, and a few tea leaves sank and then floated, creating a few ripples on the surface of the cup.
Toji crossed his legs, tilted his head, and looked at the TV series behind Hanami. At the same time, he glanced at the slightly bent sofa and then said:
"Are you actually a female cursed spirit? I really couldn't tell before."
To Toji's words, Hanami just lowered her head and looked at the rise and fall of the tea surface, then slowly said:
"Cursed spirits probably don't have a distinction between male and female, but my voice may indeed be more in line with a human female."
"Whatever. I was just saying it casually. When you and that brat go to pick flowers later, remember to choose smaller ones. We're moving in a few days. It'll be hard for us to move if you choose too big a flower."
Hearing Toji's words, Hanami was stunned for a moment. She hesitated for a moment, then still said in a tone of disbelief:
"Are you really going to let me, a cursed spirit, go shopping with you? But... I'm a different kind."
When Hanami said the last part, her voice involuntarily became subtle, as if she was talking about something that made her a little ashamed.
To this, Toji just picked his ear with his little finger, blew on the almost non-existent earwax, and said lazily:
"No one will care about that kind of thing. The three of you here, including you, are not normal people. Since he said he would take you with him, don't think about so many things. Just go with him. Don't have any crooked thoughts, and you can do whatever you want with the rest."
With that, Toji stood up and began to search through his cabinets for his wallet.
And Hanami continued to sit blankly on the sofa. She listened to Toji's words, pursed her seemingly non-existent lips, then picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
The entrance was slightly bitter, but if you savored it carefully, there was a long-lasting sweetness.
Seeing this, Toji suddenly turned back and glanced at Hanami, then said:
"I heard from the brat that you seem to be a naturally formed cursed spirit. So is tea water equivalent to the water used to soak the corpses of your kind?"
Hearing this question, Hanami was rarely silent for a while, and Toji also seemed to realize the inappropriateness of his question and paused for a moment. But just as his toes were about to dig into the ground, Hanami suddenly spoke and explained:
"It probably doesn't count as water for soaking corpses. At most, it's bath water."
"Pfft!"
When Hanami said those words, her tone was extremely serious. This sentence somehow hit Toji's funny bone. He glanced at Hanami and then said:
"I'll leave the flowers, plants, and trees at home to you from now on. If it rains later, you can come in to take shelter from the rain. Just remember to wipe yourself clean. Don't bring the moisture into the house."
Toji was becoming more and more long-winded, a point he himself had not realized.
And Zenin Kiyoshi also came out of the bathroom at this moment. He wiped his slightly wet hair, glanced at Toji who was searching through his cabinets, and with just one glance, he guessed what the other party was looking for. He directly said:
"The second layer of the shoe cabinet, I put it in for you. Just remember it from now on."
"You nosy brat! If you hadn't put it in, I would have found it long ago!"
"Where would you find it? In the washing machine filled with a basket of your dirty clothes?"
Hanami looked at the two people arguing in front of her, and suddenly an indescribable feeling welled up from the bottom of her heart.
