Unlike Nana Shikano's surprise, Ding Yu stood up with an embarrassed look on his face, covering his lower body.

His little face turned red. His "good friend" really doesn't know how to read people's faces. It was obviously a rainy day, but he still came out to "raise the national flag"!

"........"

"Really, you little brat! What on earth are you thinking about all day long?!"

Nana Shikano also noticed Ding Yu's embarrassment. Because she had witnessed the famous scene where Yae Shinko "took control" of little Ding Yu, Nana Shikano knew that Ding Yu was not an ordinary "sensitive" boy!

Her face blushed and she said helplessly: "Turn around quickly!!"

"......."Oh!! It can be done this way!!" Ding Yu suddenly realized and turned around quickly.

"......" Xiao Gong's beautiful golden eyes also widened, and he was obviously shocked by Ding Yu's "brutal" performance: "This... this is too big... This is what a little boy should have... 0l0?"

After all, Nana Shikano was older, so she quickly calmed down and asked, "Sister Xiao Gong, why are you here? Xiao Yu and I are going to look for you!"

"Uh... I... Hey... It's my dad! He sent someone to find me and told me to go home quickly, saying that a big business was coming. I was out buying fireworks materials, and when I heard that there was something urgent, I hurried home."

"Then, I accidentally bumped into you..." Xiao Gong spread his hands helplessly.

"This is really... too coincidental..." Nana Shikano was also a little speechless. She pinched Ding Yu and said, "Why... haven't you recovered after so long...???"

"I...I don't know either...He just...won't come down..."

Ding Yu was also anxious to soften it, but the more anxious he was, the more nervous he became, and it took him a long time to get soft.

"Xiao Yu'er, you have grown up~ Hehe~~" Xiao Gong has now regained her former liveliness. With a happy smile on her pretty face, she slides in front of Ding Yu and looks at him grinning.

!!!

"Sister Xiao Gong, why are you here!??"

Ding Yu was shocked by Xiao Gong's bold performance, and even his good brother trembled, making him even more embarrassed.

"Okay, you are still so naughty..."

Nana Shikano helplessly pulled Xiao Gong behind her. As someone who often dealt with her, she naturally knew Xiao Gong's lively personality. She pulled Xiao Gong to pick up the various fireworks materials scattered on the ground.

"Are these all materials for making fireworks?" Nana Shikano asked curiously, looking at a small white bag in her hand.

"Yes! What you have in your hand is saltpeter powder, which can also be used to make explosives~~"

"Explosives??!!" Nana Shikano was so scared that her hands were shaking and she almost threw the powder bag away.

"Hey, don't worry! I've taken all the safety measures! It won't explode easily!"

Xiao Gong squatted down with a cheerful tone and picked up the materials with Shikano Nana.

The two of them spent a long time collecting materials before Ding Yu recovered. He turned around and said awkwardly, "Long time no see, Sister Xiaogong."

"Yes, it's been a long time since we last met! Xiao Yu'er~" Xiao Gong was very considerate and didn't mention what happened just now. He called Ding Yu's nickname in a loving tone.

"It's been a long time indeed." Ding Yu felt a little emotional when he heard this long-lost nickname. The two of them knew each other before he opened the Fox Ramen stall.

At that time, Ding Yu, who had just moved out of the Shenli Mansion, had no skills and was worried about his livelihood every day. It was also by chance that he met the kind-hearted Xiao Gong, who brought Ding Yu his first job in his life.

Originally...if nothing unexpected had happened, Ding Yu might have become a fireworks craftsman, but unfortunately he was not interested in that and chose to open a ramen stall.

Although Xiao Gong was not very happy, he still respected his decision. However, after this incident, the relationship between the two of them was not cold, but it was indeed not as warm as before.

Chapter 55 Competition

"But you have indeed grown up!" Xiao Gong looked at Ding Yu's silent expression, thinking that he was still concerned about the past.

She walked over and took Ding Yu into her arms: "Boys, you have to be more generous! Only in this way can girls like you!"

"Oh... I know. Let go first..." Ding Yu struggled in Xiaogong's turbulent arms: "Sister Xiaogong, you haven't changed~"

Although Ding Yu said he was reluctant, he still smiled.

"......." Nana Shikano frowned and felt uncomfortable.

She didn't know why, but when she saw the two of them playing and fighting, she felt that some kind of tacit understanding that belonged only to these two people was quietly revived.

The seemingly invisible barrier between the two was also broken, and this was just an accident...

"Perhaps, they shouldn't be allowed to meet..."

As soon as this bold idea popped into her mind, Nana Shikano was shocked.

"This... this is still me... but that... sad and bitter feeling is bubbling up like a spring and can't stop..." For a moment, Shikano Nana was so confused that she even forgot to speak.

======================

"Sister Luye? Are you okay?" Ding Yu waved in front of Luye Nana curiously.

"Sister, why are you in a daze again?"

"Ah...oh...I'm fine...let's go!" She came back to her senses, looked at Ding Yu in panic, and took the initiative to lead the way.

"...Can you say that everything is fine?...Your face was so gloomy just now...so scary..."

Ding Yu touched his nose helplessly. Seeing that she didn't want to talk, he could only helplessly follow her and run forward.

"......." Xiao Gong on the side silently watched the two people's leaving backs, suddenly changed his face to smiling and chased after them.

"Hey, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!!"

==============

Naganohara Fireworks Shop, this is the most famous fireworks shop in Hanamizaka.

Although Xiao Gong is young, she has been a professional fireworks artist for a long time. She is talented and took over the job from her father very early. She is the current owner of the "Naganohara Fireworks Shop" and is known as the "Queen of the Summer Festival" by gossipers. She is a household name in Inazuma Castle.

Xiao Gong, Ding Yu and Shikano Nana returned to their home. Before they reached the door, they heard a loud quarrel.

"Let me go...Ninja...let me go...!!"

"Boss...don't argue with her anymore, it's meaningless..."

"Bullshit! You stinky dog, I was here first, why should I let you go first? You are an official, so you think you are great? I just don't believe it today! Hey, if you have the guts, challenge me in a one-on-one fight... Come here!!!"

"........" The three of them looked at each other for a while.

Who else could be this loud voice except Araki Ichito? The three of them hurried in.

Aratake Ichito was red-faced and angry: "Come over here if you have the guts, you stinky Tengu, come and fight me! If you don't have the guts, what kind of hero are you!!"

"Boss...she is a woman...she is not a hero..." On the side, Kuki Shinobu, wearing a face armor, helplessly pulled Arataki Ichito's big arm and said.

"Ninja, which side are you on? Why are you still siding with that Tengu?!"

"........"

"Have you had enough of the trouble?" The person who was confronting Huang Long was naturally Ding Yu's old acquaintance.

She frowned her pretty thick eyebrows: "I didn't expect that you are still so immature, Arawaki Ichito."

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything. As soon as she spoke, Arawaki Ichito exploded like fuel to the fire: "Damn Tengu, come here! Don't just talk but don't move! Oh, I forgot...hahahaha...you are a nine-legged turtle, a coward!"

"You!!..." Kujo Sara was being mocked by Aratake Ichito and could no longer hold back her anger. She took out her Tengu fan and

The situation was about to explode. Both sides were losing their temper and were about to fight!

The anxious Xiao Gong could no longer hold back, she summoned her bow and arrow and shot three arrows into the sky!

“Crackle, crackle, crackle!!!”

The sound of the fireworks exploding echoed in the air, causing the noisy crowd to stop arguing.

"What are you doing? Making a scene in my house! Can't you calm down and talk about what's going on?"

"So it's you, the girl in red! Hahaha, hurry up and sell me some fireworks! I want to set off fireworks!"

"......What's going on here?" Ding Yu looked helplessly at Jiuqi Shinobu standing beside him.

"Well, let me explain it." Kujo Sara also wanted to end this boring farce as soon as possible, so he took the initiative to explain.

It turns out that tomorrow is the day that Aratake Ichito will leave Inazuma, in order to cherish the opportunity to play with the boss for the last time.

The members of the Arotaki faction took the initiative to suggest going to Xiao Palace to buy some fireworks to celebrate Arotaki Ito's safe return from the voyage!

But who knew that Kujo Sara was waiting for Xiao Gong in the fireworks shop early in the morning. She planned to negotiate with Xiao Gong early and let her start preparing for the fireworks festival of the light novel conference in advance to prevent any loopholes.

This was nothing, but who knew that Araki Ichito would fly into a rage when he heard it: "I'm going abroad tomorrow, so I just want to set off some fireworks to amuse Menzi. You ask the girl in red to help you make the fireworks. Who will make fireworks for me?"

"......"

Xiao Gong's ears hurt from Araki Ichito's loud voice. She covered her ears helplessly and said, "It's not like I don't have the fireworks you want to play with... just ask my dad for them, right?!"

"Uh...ah this..." Arata Ichito was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect this to happen. He hurriedly made excuses for himself: "...Who is your father?...He's not here..."

"Who said he's not here?" Xiao Gong shouted into the house, "Dad! Dad!!"

No one responded for a long time, and the scene became very awkward... Xiao Gong felt that he could not save face anymore, and ran into his house regardless of everyone present.

After a while, she came out pulling an old man who looked sleepy.

"Dad, you're sleeping so soundly... There's almost a fight outside, how can you still sleep?"

"Uh...ah...girl, what did you say?" Naganohara Ryunosuke covered his mouth and breathed out, obviously not awake yet.

"......"

"I'm sorry, my father is hard of hearing and didn't hear you guys talking." Xiao Gong had no choice but to bow and apologize to everyone.

She didn't expect that her father was so hard of hearing. He could sleep so soundly even though it was so noisy outside.

"So that's what happened..." After listening to Kujo Sara's clear explanation, the people around also understood what happened.

In this matter, it was completely impulsive and reckless of Arawaki Ichito to act recklessly without understanding the whole situation. There is no need to argue at all.

"..."

"Brother Yidou, why are you still so impulsive? In fact, there is no need for you to argue with Sister Jiujo..."

After hearing what happened, Ding Yu was helpless. [How can Ara Taki Ichito still have the temper of a child when he is so old? When he gets angry, no one can persuade him.]

"What do you mean? Brother Ding Yu, which side are you on? Aren't you the second generation of my Arawaki faction?" Arawaki Ichito stared at Ding Yu angrily.

I didn't expect that before our own people even left, the newly appointed [Second Generation] would show signs of defecting to the enemy!

"I... This is not their problem!......!" Ding Yu was trying hard to reconcile the relationship between the two, but he didn't expect that Arawaki Ito didn't appreciate it at all and turned his firepower directly to himself who wanted to smooth things over.

"Okay, I was wrong for making a scene without knowing what was going on!" Although he was still very unconvinced, Arawaki Ichito took the initiative to stand up and admit his mistake.

================

"Wow, Brother Yidou, you have really grown up!" Ding Yu looked pleased, looking at Araki Yidou who admitted his mistake, with the feeling of an old father watching a naughty child grow up: "As expected, as long as I explain it clearly, Brother Yidou will still admit his mistake obediently!"

But the next second, Arawaki Ichito ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

"But I still don't accept it in my heart!" He stood up again, pointing his finger at Kujo Sara: "You are guilty of the fireworks incident, but the last time you locked me up is not over!"

"I, Aratake Ichito! I will declare war on you! Kujo! Tengu! here today!"

Aratake Ichito pointed at Kujo Sara and stepped on the floor tiles. The strong wind blew his robe behind him, and combined with his tall stature, he actually had a sense of majesty without even getting angry!

"......" Kujo Sara was silent for a while, ignored him, turned around and said to Xiao Gong: "Let's go inside and discuss the fireworks in detail."

.......

For a moment, the air almost froze in awkwardness.

You should know that there is no fear of having no opponents in this world, but that when you take the initiative to challenge your opponents, your opponents may not take you seriously at all and just treat you as a clown!

"Wow, damn it! Listen to what I have to say!" Aratake Ichito was furious. He ignored the advice of his fellow brothers and blocked Kujo Sara's way: "If you are a man, come out and wrestle sumo with me at the crossroads!"

"......." Ding Yu looked at Jiuqi's helpless eyes and guessed what she wanted to complain about.

He spoke for her: "Brother Ichidou... Sister Kujo... is not a man..."

"Waaaa, you're so long-winded!" Arawaki Ichito interrupted Ding Yu impatiently: "Or are you scared? If you don't come to fight me again, I won't call you Nine-Terrestrial Dog anymore. I'll call you-Nine-Terrestrial Turtle!!!"

Aradaki Ichito put his hands on his hips smugly, obviously very satisfied with his clumsy way of provoking the opponent.

"Aren't you a general of the Tenryo Bugyo? I've already called you a turtle! Why don't you come out and fight?!"

"You are so cowardly, what will your subordinates think of you, hahahaha!!"

"If you don't come out, you're a coward! Hehe!..."

"..."

“Da da da~~” To everyone’s surprise, Kujo Sara suddenly turned back wearing high wooden clogs. She raised her head and looked down at Arata Ichito and said, “Okay, I’ll take it!”

"Ah this?"
