Koshimi Nanatsuki was sitting by the pool. He used a bubble net and body wash to make bubbles on Chi Feichi's wings. He put his hands in the bubbles to comb the feathers. He was having fun while also paying attention to the children playing with him. The pool of bath toys is Fei Chi.
Mr. Chi really likes these toys.
Squeeze the blue inflatable puppy…
Pinch the little yellow duck No. 1...
Arrange the three little yellow ducks on the floor according to their size...
Pinch the little yellow duck No. 2...
Put all the little yellow ducks on the back of the blue inflatable puppy...
She couldn't understand how adults could play with bath toys for so long.
Half an hour later, Chi Feichi stacked the three little yellow ducks and the inflatable puppy one by one, and placed the smallest yellow duck underneath.
Yuesui Nanatsuki directed Chi Fei Chi to raise his wings and run from left to right and from right to left in the swimming pool. He filled the wings with bubbles. Seeing that Chi Fei Chi was still absentmindedly playing with the bath toys, he made a sound. Asked, "Mr. Chi, what are you thinking about?"
"Don't worry..." Chi Feichi didn't turn around to look at Yueshui Nanatsuki. He stacked four toys and pushed them down. "Yue Shui, have you ever hunted birds in the mountains before? Or, do you have any at home? Have you ever lived with chickens and ducks, or seen live chickens and ducks?”
"I have never raised chickens or ducks at home, and I have never gone to the mountains to hunt birds," Koshimizu Nanatsuki recalled, touching the bubble-covered wings in front of him with his right hand, "But when I was in elementary school, I had a classmate We have a breeding farm at home, where we raise a lot of chickens and ducks. Our classmates went there several times during the summer vacation. When I was in junior high school, a theft occurred there, and I went to help investigate, so I still have an impression of it. It’s quite profound...Why do you suddenly ask this?”
"I'm just thinking about a question," Chi Feichi folded toys calmly, "Then, why do you think of cleaning my wings first when you see them? When you see birds with bright feathers, most birds People think of touching their feathers, not washing them, and you should know that birds don’t need to be bathed like this.”
Nanatsuki Koshizui reflected seriously, "I probably thought you would feel better after taking a bath, and..."
Some memory fragments suddenly come to mind.
It was a summer, and their class organized a visit to the farm at the classmate's home. It was her first time there. The expedition team they formed went to the slaughterhouse next to it. She remembered that an uncle at that time took the killed chickens. Put them in a square pool, heat the water, scald and pluck them. The uncle enthusiastically introduced them to the process of handling chickens and ducks...
That night, the chicken became their dinner.
It was still the same breeding farm. When they went there for the second time, they helped put two dead big roosters into the pool and blanch them in hot water. The chicken feathers were easily pulled off, and they even plucked them out. Feather, she pulled out a long, brightly colored and shiny feather.
That night, they had another chicken dinner.
It was still the same breeding farm. When she went to investigate the theft, when she saw the empty pool, she could think of the chickens with bright and shiny feathers that were once placed in it.
When she saw Mr. Chi's wings just now, she was really thinking, 'taking a bath will make Mr. Chi feel more comfortable', but she knew clearly that the feathers of birds did not need to be washed, so why did she come up with the idea of 'taking a bath'?
It seems possible...it's because of the images of 'feathers soaking in water waiting for their feathers to be plucked' deep in her memory...
Chi Feichi turned to look at Yuesui Nanatsuki and said, "I wonder if you have seen the process of perming and plucking the feathers of birds before, so when you saw the feathered wings just now, you thought of putting the wings on Picture of being submerged in water."
Koshizu Nanatsuki: "..."
Was right...
Her initial motivation to help Mr. Chi bathe came from the scene in her memory of killing a chicken and plucking its feathers. Can she admit this?
Can't admit it.
Once she admits it, the originally warm scene of washing and taking care of her wings will become like her washing Mr. Chi's wings and preparing to put him in the pot.
"Hahaha... how is that possible?" Nanatsuki Koshizui tried his best to show an open and gentle smile, "If you thought about perming and plucking your hair, I wouldn't be able to help you soak it, right?"
Chi Feichi already felt confident. Seeing that Yuesui Nanatsuki seemed a little guilty, he didn't bother anymore. He nodded and looked away, "That's right. Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki quietly breathed a sigh of relief, cleaned the bubble net and put it by the pool, "But having said that, the chicken sold in the butcher shop is all processed, right? Why do you know that you have to scald the chicken feathers with water first?" Have you ever experienced something like this?”
Chi Feichi felt that Nanatsuki Koshizui was doubting his ability to survive, so he explained, "I have slaughtered chickens, ducks, rabbits, bamboo rats, and common fish, and I know how to clean them... Meats such as snakes are not commonly used as ingredients. I can handle animals too.”
Feichi, who was napping on the sofa: "!"
Could the owner not suddenly use a snake as an example? This would completely frighten a half-asleep snake awake.
"No wonder, you are usually more skilled at handling ingredients than I am..." Nanatsuki Koshizui smiled and patted one of his wings, "Okay, Mr. Chi, put your wings in the water and put the wings on Wash away the bubbles and the cleaning is over.”
Chi Feichi let his wings fall into the water, then turned around in the water.
The two wings fell to the bottom of the lake one after another, and then passed over the bottom of the pool, stirring up high walls of water on both sides of the pool, and the water in the pool surged.
Nanatsuki, who went over the water, was pushed to the back of the swimming pool by the current. Before he could be pushed too far, he was caught behind him by the front end of his wings.
The wall of water surged down, and part of it fell on the deck next to the swimming pool, making a 'bang' sound, and part of it fell back into the swimming pool.
Chi Feichi raised the other wing to the top of Qishui Qishui's head, blocking the falling water curtain. However, the big wing was soaked inside and out. After lifting it up, the water contained in the down feather layer poured down, and the water curtain fell down. Seven tsukis of water were poured into the water and turned into a drowned rat.
Koshizu Nanatsuki: "..."
She helped Mr. Chi wash him for a long time. Is it finally her turn?
Chi Feichi: "..."
The water curtain will hurt if it hits someone, and the water dripping from his wings should be gentle. Comparing the two, Yueshui should be able to understand that he has thought about her.
Although Yueshui does look a little embarrassed now that he's all wet...
…
Two minutes later...
Chi Feichi stood in front of the railing, his wings flapping back and forth behind him.
The wing edges tore through the air, and the swirling wind collided with the sea breeze, creating a roar. The water in the feathers was also thrown out, some flying on the deck, and some flying into the sea.
Koshimi Nanatsuki stood in the semi-outdoor rest area at the back with a towel on his face, wiping his hair with a dry towel and sweating as he listened to the whistling sound of his wings beating the air.
Looking at it this way, Mr. Chi's force every time he used his wings to catch her was really too light.
Chi Feichi shook out all the water from the feathers of his wings. The previous feeling of his wings being wrapped in a wet blanket disappeared, and turned back to the semi-outdoor rest area.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki put aside the towel in his hand and laid two sunbathing mats side by side on the deck. He asked Chi Feichi to lie down on the mat while he sat next to him and wiped Chi Feichi's wings with a large bath towel.
"Stop being busy, Yueshui." Chi Feichi lay on the mat, feeling the warmth of the sun above his head. He suddenly had the idea of taking a nap and closed his eyes. "The wings will dry in the sun. If you feel tired, , just take a rest.”
"I don't feel tired," Koshimi Nanatsuki lowered his head and wiped the feathers on his wings with a towel, and lowered his voice, "If you want to sleep, just take a nap. I will simply wipe the outer feathers with a towel, and I can also clean them up." Dry the feathers even if they are hidden in the down layer. When the feathers are dry, they will become fluffy and dry faster..."
Listening to the voice of Qishui, Chi Feichi relaxed physically and mentally and allowed his tiredness to rise.
"If I feel tired, I will stop by myself." Koshizui Nanatsuki said, looking up at Chi Feichi's closed eyes, smiling and lowering his head, and continued to wipe the wings in front of him with a bath towel.
She had been thinking that Mr. Chi would definitely feel better after taking a bath.
I heard from Mr. Chi that it seemed that Mr. Chi didn’t go home until late at night last night. He woke up at three o’clock in the morning this morning and couldn’t fall asleep. How can this be done...
Even a god needs a good rest.
…
After wiping both wings, Nanatsuki stood up, packed up the used bath towels and towels, took the things down the escalator, and handed them to the girl guarding the stern well on the main deck. He said softly, " Mr. Chi is resting, so there is no need to send my lunch and his lunch there for the time being. You should finish your lunch first, and please do not make too much noise when delivering the meal to the cockpit above."
The girl nodded with a serious face and lowered her voice, "Don't worry, we will pay attention. Thank you for your hard work."
"Where... Then I'll trouble you."
Koshimi Nanatsuki still wasn't used to the girl's admiring gaze of 'you have done something big'. He smiled at the girl, turned around and walked back to the stern of the upper deck along the escalator, and lay down next to Chi Feichi's wings. .
The wings moved upward and stopped over Koshimi Nanatsuki's head, hanging in the middle to form a small sunshade.
After Chi Feichi moved his wings, he continued to take a nap.
Yuesui Nanatsuki turned his head in surprise and saw that Chi Feichi had not opened his eyes. He looked away and looked at the wings above him that were blocking the strong light. He yawned, turned over to face Chi Feichi and closed his eyes. .
Regardless of whether the wings have the function of 'automatically helping to shade the sun', the strong light outside is blocked by the wings, creating a dim environment. The dried feathers seem to still have the warmth of the sun, and the sea breeze is also blocked outside, like this The environment is perfect for a good night's sleep...
One p.m.
Chi Feichi decided not to sleep after he turned over twice and put his head on his shoulder, twice rolled over and hugged the wings, and almost bit the wings once.
He almost forgot that Yueshui might not be very honest when sleeping.
What kind of dream did he have that made Yueshui want to bite his wings...
For this kind of person who sleeps dishonestly, he should do the same as last time and find a quilt to wrap him up before going to bed!
Chi Fei Chi woke up half an hour after crossing the water seven months later. When he woke up, he found that he was holding Chi Fei Chi's wings. He smelled the scent of his own body wash on the feathers. He rubbed it with his chin again and turned his head. Then he saw Chi Feichi looking at him, "...Good morning."
"good afternoon."
Chi Feichi mercilessly reminded Yuesui that Nanatsuki had said the wrong greeting, moved the completely dried wings away, and retracted the wings into his body.
Koshimi Nanatsuki was a little embarrassed, pretending that he didn't say or hear anything, "Let's go eat, I'm hungry..."
