3 p.m., Dingyi District. Shigure Seventeen stood at the door of Shigure's eldest son's current residence, stood on tiptoes with excitement, and knocked on the door.
"Brother Reiichi, Shi Qi came to visit~"
"Wait a minute~" The voice of the eldest brother's girlfriend appeared from behind the door.
Xiao Qi took a step back and waited expectantly. The door opened, and Caldesia Spencer stood in front of her home, holding a large baking sheet filled with various cookies in her hands.
"Xiao Shiqi is here. I just baked a plate of snacks, would you like to try one first?"
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"You can't call me sister-in-law before you get married! You have to call me Sister Caldesia!"
"Okay~"
Shigure Seventeen grabbed a chocolate chip cookie and skipped into the house. Brother Reiichi and Zhongyi were already sitting on the sofa chatting. Sister Ling and Linwu hadn't arrived yet. The participants in this family meeting were all so unique that not many people came to the meeting in advance.
"Seventeen, take a seat." Shiyurei smiled at Seventeen, "Have you adapted to life in this city?"
"Seventeen has adapted to school life very well, but Seventeen feels that he is not used to the Sky City yet..."
"You will get used to it, sister." Shigure finally encouraged her, "I feel that every day now is very fulfilling."
"Seventeen feels too fulfilling! This city is simply more dangerous than Weiyuan City!"
"That was just an accident. You see, similar major crises have only happened three times in the past six months."
"On average, there is a crisis of Chikou evil spirit level once every two months?!"
Caldesia walked out of the kitchen amidst the chatter of her siblings and placed the freshly baked snacks on the small square table. She glanced at the clock and reminded: "My dear, your scheduled time is coming soon."
"It doesn't matter, Sister Ling will always be here..."
Before she said this, the eldest sister of the Shigure family appeared on the small sofa reserved for her with a burst of blue light.
】
"Arrived at the last second."
Shigure Seventeen cheered and jumped forward, but was pushed back to the seat by his sister. Zero looked around, frowned and asked, "Where is Linwu?"
"Brother Linwu is always late." Zhongyi said, "It's usually 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 15 minutes late."
"Tell him not to come in three minutes."
Finally, he obediently picked up the phone and conveyed the top order of the family head to Fifth Brother. Two minutes and 59 seconds later, Shiyu Linwu's voice sounded outside the door: "I'm late!"
This voice shouted loudly, full of pride and pride, and those who didn't know it thought he had done something good. Caldesia opened the door, and Shi Yulin got in with a whoosh.
The black metal musician is still dressed in a refreshing way today: with a guitar on his back, heavy makeup on his face, and his shirtless body only wearing a vest. His personal belongings caught everyone's attention. It was a large-sized photo that often appeared at farewell ceremonies. In the photo, a coquettishly dressed middle-aged man smiled wildly.
Shi Yulinwu held the posthumous photo high above his head, his face full of pride that could not be covered by heavy makeup: "Yeah! I brought my father to the family meeting!"
"Throw him out."
"Okay, Zero-sama." "No problem, one-sama."
"aieeee, brother and sister, your expressions are so scary?! Shiqi, no! Dad was thrown into the trash can ahhhhhh!!"
·
After some intercession between Zuichi and Lingo, Genya Shigure (the portrait) reluctantly got an auditorium seat next to the trash can. Rei Shigure, the current head of the Shigure family, said quickly: "Then the first Shigure family meeting will begin. Reiichi will be in charge of presiding over the meeting. The head of the family has finished speaking."
After throwing the work on his younger brother's head, the head of the Shigure family settled comfortably on the sofa, opened a can of beer and started drinking.
Reiichi Shigure, who had expected it, took over the conversation and made a speech to his family: "It is my personal idea to hold this family gathering. Everyone in the family is now distributed all over the world, and the usual contact is not like in the past. It’s tight, I think it’s necessary for us to share our current situation regularly... Linwu, please stop making noise and put your guitar down.”
Shiyu Lingo was playing an impromptu melody when he heard this and tossed his long hair: "Why did you take the guitar away? I am accompanying you!"
Shigure Reiichi sighed sadly. Miss Zero was sharing biscuits with her former landlord. Hearing this, she waved her hands: "Stop talking nonsense, let's make a quick decision! Everyone knows the situation between Reiichi and I. The current situation report starts with Reiji. "
"I'm here, sister." Shigure Reiji's holographic projection lit up on the table. The young swordsman blindfolded with a cloth looked energetic, "I am training myself in the Eternal Light Empire. I go to the top of the mountain to behead every morning. The practice of breaking wind and water."
Shigure finally maintained his normal expression and said with concern: "Brother Ling Er, be careful of catching a cold."
"..."
The temperature in the living room seemed to drop five degrees all of a sudden, and the Shigure family all looked at their younger brother with strange eyes. Shigure finally explained: "This is a joke, because cutting the wind may hurt the wind..."
"Are you okay in the end?" Shiyu Lingji's mouth twitched.
"He... has been studying humor and comedy recently, and his studies have been fruitful." Reiichi Shigure said bravely, "Anyway, Lingji looks pretty good, how about you, Ayasan?"
Ayazo Shigure's holographic projection emerged from beside his second brother, holding a controller in his hand: "Brother Reiichi~ Ayazo recently broke into the top ten in the world rankings of fighting games~"
Shigurei played a festive accompaniment in unison, and Shigurei's face was filled with black lines.
"Congratulations, Ayasan. But brother wants to know more about your real life..."
"Speaking of this, brother!" Shigure Ayasan smiled brightly, "Ayasan, I recently discovered that as an impermanent practitioner, it's okay even if you don't participate in general social activities~ You can take out three meals a day, and you can take out the house. Just ask the Ling Temple to clean it up. The compensation given by Wuhui Junfeng is too much to spend! I am now squatting comfortably at home——"
Reiichi Shigure looked aside with a smile: "Is Reiji here? I will arrange a job for you, Sister Ayasan, after the meeting. The working hours will be at least 4 days a week."
"I understand." The projection of Shiyuling Temple appeared next to the third sister.
"Her bank account is also under your control. Don't let her get the money during this period."
"Put it simply."
Shigure Ayazo screamed and threw himself to the side, but was blocked by the projection of Reiji playing chess with one hand.
"No, brother, I don't want to go to work!"
"Either go to work or go to school, but you can't play games at home all day long."
"But, but..." Ayasan, who was looking for a reason, suddenly had an idea, "By the way, Sister Ling doesn't have to go to work either!"
"You Sister Rei, I am the Creator of the Realm. The money I spent on this job is enough for me to squander for who knows how long." Rei Shigure threw a cookie into his mouth and said with a sideways glance, "Besides, I still have money even if I don't do anything. Do you have a man who will support me for the rest of my life?"
"Guwa-! Abba-!"
"Sister Ayasan, I can't say that I can't fight."
Shigure Shiqiu clung to the sofa with deep resentment: "Sister, Shiqiu can also support you..."
"Take care of yourself first, little junior high school student."
Rei Shigure threw a piece of popcorn, and Shiqi happily caught it with his mouth.
Shigure Reiichi decided to ignore the sisters' quarrel and move on to the next family member as quickly as possible: "Reiji, what about you?"
"Recently, I have been working with Zuiyan=san and Izumo Hii to design a new divination formation." Reiji's goggles flashed, "After Lord Fukutsugami left, Zero Island's divination is far less sharp than before. , so the defense formation needs to be readjusted. If you have time, can you help remotely?"
"I'm very happy, Sister Reiji." Shigure finally nodded, "Repairing the National Defense Formation... is like taking out a takeout delivery, providing remote maintenance services!"
The weird silence happened again. Shigure Shiqi shivered. Lingsi's goggles flashed for a while, showing three big "x"s.
"Sorry, it doesn't feel funny to say."
"It's so hard to tell jokes..."
"In the end, it's better to start learning by distinguishing the situation in which you tell a joke. Also, when you tell a joke, you have to make a different expression and don't say it with the same face as usual."
"Thanks for the advice."
Although your attitude towards learning is worthy of recognition, is it really okay to learn from Lingsi's sense of humor? She is the most cold-faced person in the family after you, right?
Shigure Reiichi tried his best to suppress the desire to say something to stop him, and looked at his fifth brother across the table: "Rinwu, what about you?"
Shiyu Linwu whistled, stepped on the square table, and announced complacently: "I have recently officially joined the underworld organization! I have met very interesting buddies! The new song is very popular in the organization, and the time is fixed every week Go to the maid bar for performance instruction! Yahoo! This is the wonderful youth of anti-Shinto black metal, and the new journey of legendary musician Ringo Shigure will begin this summer!"
"Oh." "As expected of you." "It's not surprising if it's Lin Wu." "Tian Xie Gui is still the same..."
When the Shigure family heard this outrageous recent situation, no one felt any surprise. After all, Linwu had been like this since he was a child. When everyone was sworn in with Shigure Wanaya, he ran to hook up with the big devil and asked Dad if he wanted to listen to my new song. When everyone was discussing how to kill the yakuza faster, he started singing at the yakuza headquarters. Yes, when everyone was working together to prepare for the war against foreign enemies, he waved the letter of appointment and said that everyone should be busy first while I go abroad to carry out secret missions...
When a person lives his life as a proxy for the absurd, bizarre things become a daily occurrence for him.
"But I really encountered a big problem." Lin Wu tugged on his long hair, "My old team 'Ax Kuangchuanhe' has officially debuted on Zero Island for a long time, and the new band is not suitable. Let’s use the previous name again! Rock music that has lost its name has no soul. Without a name, I will lose my soul!”
"No matter what happens, that kind of thing will be fine." "Ax Kuang Chuan He No. 2 said." "Ax Kuang Chuan Hai." "Ax Kuang Chuan He mk2."
"How perfunctory you guys are!"
Shigure finally thought about it seriously for a while, then raised his hand and suggested: "How about the Lonely Band?"
"Brother, it's so lackluster..."
"Brother Linwu's superpower is that he cannot be discovered by others. People who have no sense of existence must be very lonely, right?"
Shiguringo was very moved for a while and retorted: "A rock band is a collaboration of many people!"
Shigure finally explained: "According to Lingo brother's thinking circuit, a band with multiple people working together is said to be lonely..."
"It's also a manifestation of rebellious thinking, yeah! You still understand me!!"
Lin Wu and Zhi high-fived each other. Shigure Reiichi felt deeply about the deep family friendship and continued to ask about the current situation of the lower family members.
·
Time passed quickly. After the family members outside Cangdu reported on the current situation, the minute hand had already gone one and a half times.
Some of them were exploring the oceanic archipelago, some were surviving in the polar circle, and some were working as ranger assistants in the United States... Reiichi Shigure listened to the colorful lives of his younger brothers and sisters for an hour and a half, and couldn't help but sigh at the vastness of the world. He talked for a while before finally ending his overseas mission and turning his attention back to the two members who had not yet reported.
"Seventeen, finally, what about you?"
"Seventeen is currently in junior high school."
"Everyone knows that you are in school. What the eldest brother wants to ask is how your school life is."
Shigure Shiqiu said proudly: "Shiqiu got 7th place in the class in the final exam! I also made a good friend in the class!"
...After studying for so long, I still only have one friend. Is there really nothing wrong with this kid?
Rei Shigure poked his head in with interest: "Do you have any friends? Male or female?"
"He is a weak boy. He became Shiqi's friend because he sat next to Shiqi. Shiqi often asked him to help Shiqi buy things, and Shiqi would lend him homework to copy. Having this friend makes him happy It’s very convenient, Seventeen won’t make other friends~”
"Oh~~~"
The adults of the Shigure family nodded one after another, each smiling more gently than the other, causing goosebumps to rise on Xiao Qi's back.
"Onee-sama's smile is so strange!"
"Nothing, nothing! Then, what about you, Shigure Suichi?"
Shigure finally answered immediately: "I've been studying jokes recently."
"Everyone already knows this."
"Other than that, it's the same as usual...research, work, and do things that satisfy me." Shigure finally thought about it and added, "Recently, I occasionally spend time with everyone from the Wings of Death and Miss Yun Yinglang. Action, does this count as making friends?"
"Forget it." Shigure Reiichi said, "Those who are willing to spend time with you are your friends."
"Brother Reiichi, don't you have any objection to this?"
Shigure Reiichi smiled and said: "I hate John Garcia very much. But this cannot be the reason for me to prevent you from having normal social interactions. What families should do is to help each other, not to control each other's lives, right?"
Shigure Reiichi's speech was approved by many Shigure. Shigure Ringo followed the momentum and put forward a proposal to change the family head, but it was violently rejected by the contemporary family head, Shigure Rei. This family gathering ended amidst the noise of the Shigures.
·
Ten minutes later, Shigure-kun, who sent his family members out of the house, lay down on the sofa tiredly.
Caldesia poked her boyfriend's face: "My dear, you look like a deflated Gongsun Ce."
"I understand Gongsun's thinking to a certain extent." Shigurei said weakly, "Sometimes the people around you can make you feel... physically and mentally exhausted."
"At least they respect you~"
Shigure Reiichi leaned against his girlfriend and sighed with complicated emotions: "My family...am I a good brother?"
"Reiichi, you can absolutely rest assured when it comes to taking care of people." Caldesia nodded the tip of his nose, "You are a first-class man that I personally trained!"
"Haha, that's right." Shigure Reiichi sat up from the sofa, "What do you want to eat tonight, Lady Caldesia?"
"I want curry rice! And lamb chops!"
"Understood, please leave it to me."
As always, Shigure Reiichi is enjoying his own happiness.
And the other members of the Shigure family are also pursuing their own lives in this city and this world.
