This Legend is Fishy Chapter 5

Although the other party was very kind and wanted to help him, he had promised Marlon to help pull him up after all, so River still declined the other party's kindness and insisted on going with Hashiri anyway.

Not sure if it was his own misunderstanding, River felt that the other party seemed to have a regretful expression for a moment after agreeing to his request.

The two people walked to the tree vine. The vines growing tightly clinging to the tree were something River had never seen before. She bent down curiously, stretched out her fingers and poked lightly at the vines.

Hichiri folded his arms and smiled as he watched her act foolishly. The dim light scattered from the forest fell on his coat. He reached out and pulled Ruxue's coat to prevent it from falling off his body.

The new colleague in sight circled around the huge tree, and then squatted down as if he was very troubled. Her long clothes trailed to the ground, and her wrists stretched out from the wide sleeves looked particularly slender.

"How...how do I get it off..." She muttered in a low voice, and after making sure there was no other way, she took out her body from her waist.

The dagger hidden in the scabbard looked calm and quiet. She reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword, and slowly pulled it out.

When the originally gentle sunlight came into contact with the snow-white sword body, it instantly became dim. Xiaoqie subconsciously tilted his head to avoid the refracted light.

In the peripheral vision, there seemed to be a zigzag dark pattern flashing through, like flowing waves. It was rare that his interest was aroused. When he was about to take a closer look, he found that the little girl in front of him did not use his sword to cut down the vines in front of him as quickly as he imagined. Instead, she looked like a gardener pruning the trees carefully, bit by bit. , carefully cut the vines.

... Hichiri fell silent, his eyes fixed on the dagger used like garden shears in front of him, feeling a little curious.

The originally shining sword seemed to become darker in an instant, and it looked like an ordinary sword that could be bought in Wanwu.

However, the intense coldness at that moment when the dagger was unsheathed was definitely not his imagination.

What is that feeling?

Hichiri couldn't help but tilted his head. His expression looked innocent and full of confusion, like a little white rabbit who had lost its sense of direction when facing the snowy sky, confused but harmless.

Aware of the sight behind her, River turned her head. She looked at the body in her hand, then at the vines that were neatly put aside, and let out a soft sigh.

"If you are not careful, you will cut the trees..."

She explained in a low voice, then sheathed the sword and tried her best to pick up the heavy-looking vine. Hachichi held her shoulders in silence. When River turned his head, he showed a gentle and innocent smile, "I'll do it."

River nodded, stood up slightly on tiptoes, raised his arms slightly, and handed a large portion of the vine that was still hanging on the ground to Hichiri.

This time, Hichiri didn't do anything to touch it. He took the fish back to the edge of the pit, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked straight down.

"Marlon-dono, are you okay?" He said softly.

However, Marlon, who had been waiting patiently at the bottom of the pit for the little dagger to return, shuddered slightly when he saw Hashigeri's smile. He muttered to himself that he didn't expect to meet Hashiri. Then he stretched out his hand and waved towards the other party, "I didn't expect to meet you, Hashiri. Just help me up."

Hashiri did not refuse, he silently threw one end of the vine into the pit, and then when Marlon reached out to grab the end of the vine, he took a step back, as if he was trying to pull him up.

However, Marlon, who was familiar with the character of his colleagues, blinked quickly. He raised his head, and what he saw was the corner of Hiroshiri's coat, and River who stuck his head out and looked at him with some worry.

Hemaru silently tugged on the vine, and then raised his voice slightly, "Say it first, don't let go halfway."

Hichiri's hand paused slightly, and he smiled softly, looking innocent and confused. "What are you talking about, Marlon-dono."

... Marlon looked at him suspiciously. The little fish on the side saw his uneasiness, so he put his hands on the ground and looked at Marlon very seriously. "Don't worry, Marlon, Mustache." The palace will definitely bring you up."

Her words were full of trust, which made Marlon curious about what the other party did with the simple little dagger in front of him during the time he was trapped in the pit.

"This really scared me," he muttered in a low voice, and then he heard a familiar voice coming from above, as if he was suppressing anger. "What scares you? Mr. He."

Oops...

Marlon raised his head subconsciously, holding a sealed jar of candlesticks in his hand and standing by the pit. He gently tapped the edge of the jar with his fingers, shook his head and sighed, "I told you many times. Come on, stop creating such boring scares. Why don’t you listen? It seems that all the work for the next month will be handed over to you again. "

He didn't care that his poor colleague was still in the pit, and he handed down the punishment very ruthlessly.

River looked up curiously at Fu Sangshen, who was wearing an eye patch and looked very handsome. The other party seemed to have noticed her. He knelt down in a posture similar to kneeling on one knee, his beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.

"Are you scared? This is the first time I've met. I'm Mitsutada Candachi Kiri. I've heard nonsense about you..." His voice paused, and then he sighed heavily. "It's so hard on you." Yes, I just came to Honmaru, but..."

But I met these two guys first.

The harmless-looking Fu Sangshen in front of him, who was dragging the vines, and the guy struggling to climb up in the pit were completely the two most troublesome people for Honmaru. Not a day goes by that Candelabra doesn't worry about the two of them.

He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, his face looking helpless.

River didn't know how troublesome the two people in front of her were. Instead, she shook her head vigorously and said seriously to Candou Kiri, "There is no such thing. Both Hiashi Kiri-den and Marlon-den have helped me a lot." "

However, Candelaichi smiled bitterly.

River was puzzled by his attitude, but her curiosity drove her to focus on the jar held by the other person.

"Um..." she asked hesitantly, "What are you pretending to be?"

Her black eyes seemed to be scattered with countless stars, and her voice when asking questions was clear and pleasant. Candlestick Che couldn't help but look at her twice more, and then his face softened.

"Are you talking about this? It's salted cherry blossoms. Because Goto was clamoring for cherry blossom snacks, I took it out." He stood up and reached out to pat the non-existent dust on his clothes.

"You must be hungry after walking for such a long time. Do you want to eat something?"

Although she had not eaten the so-called salted cherry blossoms in front of her, River was indeed a little hungry. Although she did not answer immediately, her sudden expression of joy revealed her inner thoughts.

Look at it this way, he is completely like a child.

Candlestick Che's character of taking care of others showed up again at this moment. He looked around, secretly calculated the time, and then said to River, "It will take a while for snacks. If you are hungry, why not Come to the kitchen with me first and I'll make something simple for you."

River wanted to nod immediately, but Marlon, who was struggling at the bottom of the pit, didn't seem to climb up. Hashiri was keenly aware of the hesitation of the little dagger. He tilted his head slightly and said in a voice like a soft marshmallow, "Leave this place to me in Marlon-den, and I will take him back properly."

...No...wait?

Marlon, who was about to climb up the vines, looked horrified, but River, who had already labeled Hashiri a good person, nodded without hesitation.

"Then, it's up to you!"

She stood up happily, and then followed Candelabra towards the kitchen, but after taking only a few steps, she stretched out her hand towards Candelabra, "Well, let me get it for you!"

Candouchichi obviously had a good impression of the well-behaved and polite little girl in front of him. He shook his head, looking at her tenderly as if he were looking at a cute junior, "I can just come and get this kind of thing, by the way..."

He reached into his pocket and took out a piece of red fruit candy wrapped in transparent candy wrapper. He handed it over with a smile, "Here's this for you. Xiaozhen asked me for it before, so I went to Wanwu to buy some."

River stretched out her hands to take the candy. She put the small fruit candy in her palm and looked a little confused, "What... is this?"

"Eh? Don't you know?"

Candelabra was slightly surprised. Although they only came into contact with many novel things after becoming humans, there were some things that existed a long time ago - such as candies, ships, etc. They still know the names of similar things.

But the girl in front of her really seemed to know nothing.

Zhuangzhiqie tried his best to suppress the doubts in his heart. He pointed at the candy that was held up by Xiao Yu and observed carefully. He patiently explained to the other party, "This is fruit candy. You can eat it by opening the outer candy wrapper."

River nodded ignorantly, unfolded the candy wrapper, and swallowed the small candy piece into her mouth in one gulp. The intertwined taste of sweet and sour spread on the tip of her tongue. She opened her eyes slightly, as if she had discovered something extraordinary, and her whole body exuded a happy atmosphere.

"Mr. Candlestick Kiri!" Her voice was somewhat muffled because she had something in her mouth. It seemed to be dyed sweet by the candy. She gently held her hands together and then placed them on her chest. Her delicate lips were like petals. He hooked up gently.

"This is really, really delicious! It's the first time I've tasted it."
