Chapter 396

Sakura: I suddenly felt the urge to defecate.

Chapter 396 Sakura: I suddenly felt the urge to poop.

When Wang Changsheng suddenly realized that spending the night at the Suzuki family villa wasn't such a bad thing, and that he could ideally have a three-hundred-round battle with Conan.

Sakura had already arrived at her room with her little bag on her back.

Here, halfway up the mountain, the early summer sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting shimmering, coin-sized spots of light across the floor of Sakura's bedroom.

Sakura seemed to be in a good mood, enjoying the pleasant air and warm sunshine.

She grabbed her backpack and pounced onto the bed.

"what!"

However, at that moment, a scream suddenly came from the backpack in her arms.

Sakura was startled, but quickly recovered.

She quickly pressed her arms against the mattress to prop herself up.

She immediately unzipped the backpack in her arms, and a small figure eagerly darted out.

"It hurts so much! Sakura-chan, have you forgotten about me? You're pressing your body against me!"

Xiao Ke fluttered its wings and landed on the soft bed, clutching its waist with one hand, its face contorted in pain, its brows furrowed.

"a (@moon*◆ I'm sorry, Xiao Ke, it's my fault, I couldn't help it."

Sakura looked apologetic and quickly put her hands together, saying to Kero, "I just really liked this house when I saw it, so I couldn't help myself. Please forgive me, Kero."

Seeing Kero holding his waist with a pained expression, Sakura quickly tried to change the subject.

She stretched out her hand, pointed around, and then chuckled, "Look, Xiao Ke, isn't this house beautiful? It's made entirely of wood! Living here feels so special, like living inside nature!"

Xiao Ke snorted, looked around, and found that the environment here was indeed quite nice.

The warm sunlight streamed in through the large windows, shining on Xiao Ke and making it very comfortable.

The fresh air blowing in from the window made it feel refreshed after being cooped up in the bag for quite some time.

Xiao Ke let out a deep breath and nodded. "It's actually quite good."

"I'll forgive you this time since you brought me here!" Xiao Ke said arrogantly, tilting her head back.

"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Kero~" Sakura grinned when she saw that Kero wasn't going to scold her anymore. She scooped Kero into her arms, rubbed her cheek against him affectionately, and then said with a smile.

Kero pushed Sakura's big face: "Hmph, I haven't completely forgiven you yet. Remember to bring me back lots of desserts later, or I won't completely forgive you! You hear me?"

Sakura's eyelashes fluttered, and Kero's image was reflected in her dark green eyes.

"Of course, that's no problem, but Kero-chan—" Sakura looked at the small, yellow figure in her arms, somewhat puzzled, "As a sealed beast, you can go thirty years without eating, so why do you like sweets so much?"

"What's so surprising about that? Is there anyone who doesn't like desserts?" Kero tilted his head, his eyes scanning Sakura up and down as if he were looking at some kind of idiot.

It immediately raised its head and said proudly, "I love eating desserts, it's my hobby! Just like you humans, everyone has their own hobbies, and eating desserts is mine!"

"Kero, you're really greedy. I feel like you've gotten fatter lately—" Sakura muttered. Although her voice was soft, Kero was right below her head, so he could hear her clearly.

Furthermore, Sakura was holding it in her hands, bouncing it up and down, and pinching its body with her five fingers together, making it look like she was weighing it.

Xiao Ke's face immediately darkened.

It flew away from Sakura's hand, then grabbed Sakura's arm forcefully, trying to pull her outside.

"I don't care, I won't listen! Humph!"

Kero flew to the front to grab Sakura's hand, then flew to the back to push Sakura's back, all the while muttering incessantly.

"Your dad and the others are probably still busy downstairs. Why are you still here? Hurry down and help them! And bring back some desserts on your way back!"

And so, Sakura was forcibly dragged out the door by Kero.

"That gluttonous Kero!" Sakura pouted and muttered, but didn't run back into the house.

Xiao Ke was right. Her dad and the others were probably busy tidying up the house. She just wanted to come up to put some things down and take Xiao Ke out for a walk.

We really should go down and help now.

at the same time.

In the kitchen downstairs.

Touya and his two companions were inspecting the kitchen, checking for any safety hazards and making sure they were not missing anything.

After checking it over, Fujitaka stood up: "Hmm, everything's fine, no problems, the gas works too."

"In that case, since it's still early, why don't we go buy some things?" Touya nodded.

Sakura came downstairs and walked over here, just in time to hear her older brother's voice.

She poked her head into the kitchen and asked, "Are you buying something? What do you want to buy?"

Sakura's voice made the three people in the kitchen turn around and look at her.

Fujitaka gently walked up to Sakura, slowly squatted down so that Sakura could look him in the eye.

He said in a gentle tone, "The kitchen is still usable. We're planning to drive out and buy some groceries. Would you like to come along? Or you can stay here and watch the house while you go for a walk around the neighborhood."

Looking at her father's smile, Sakura thought carefully for a moment and finally made a decision: "I'll stay here and look after the house. I'll wait patiently for you to come back!"

"Okay, Sakura is a good girl." Seeing that Sakura's tone was firm, Fujitaka nodded slightly, then stood up and gathered up the tools around him one by one.

Snow Rabbit squatted down again, organizing the food they had brought into the refrigerator.

Listening to the Kinomoto family chatting, he suddenly said, "Sakura-chan, I just saw a villa up ahead that looks much, much bigger than ours. If you're bored at home, you can go take a look from a distance when you go for a walk."

"Huh? A really, really big villa?" Sakura was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and asked in confusion, "Is there a villa up ahead?"

How come I didn't notice?

"Isn't there a bridge nearby? The villa is right in front of the bridge," Snow Rabbit said with a smile as she closed a refrigerator drawer.

"Is that so? I really didn't see it." Sakura tilted her head and thought for a moment, but still couldn't recall anything.

Unfortunately, at the time, her attention was focused on protecting Xiao Ke from being discovered, confronting the dog brother, and the little cabin they were currently in.

She hadn't really noticed what kind of villa it was.

At this moment, Touya, having tidied up the pipes in the cabinet, stood up, pursed his lips, and said, "Are monsters all blind? That villa is so big, even though it's some distance away, it's impossible for them not to see it."

"What?! You stinky brother!" Sakura choked, but didn't know what to say in rebuttal, since she really didn't see any villa.

In the end, Sakura could only stomp her foot in frustration, then let out a heavy snort, weakly defending herself: "At least I saw the little bridge! It's just that you were sitting in front of me and blocking my view, so I didn't see it!"

"Tch~" Touya rolled his eyes dismissively. "Whatever you say."

"That's how it is!" Sakura shouted weakly.

Fujitaka chuckled and reached out to pat Sakura's head. "We're almost done packing. Sakura, if you want to go for a walk, go ahead. We'll be back as soon as possible."

"Hey!" Sakura felt her father's large, warm hand rubbing her head, and she squinted her eyes comfortably, nodding with a grin. "No need to rush, old man. You guys need to be careful while driving, especially on the mountain!"

Fujitaka paused upon hearing this, his smile softening even more: "Okay, I understand."

Touya walked towards the door, saying as he spoke, "At least you still have some conscience. Remember not to go too far. Just wander around the neighborhood, okay? There aren't any monsters there, are there?"

"Hmph!" Sakura snorted, not wanting to pay him any attention. After seeing her father and Yukito off to the car, she hurriedly ran back to the house on her short legs.

Sakura didn't even need to run upstairs or lower her voice. She glanced around and, finding the rear of her family's car out of sight, called out loudly, "Kero, come down quickly! Dad and the others went out to buy food. We're free now, let's go for a walk! Yukito-san said there's a villa up ahead!"

"Huh? Is no one here? I'm here!" Sakura faintly heard Kero's response coming from the second floor.

While waiting for Xiao Ke to come down, Xiao Ying's gaze was immediately drawn to the photo frame of her mother on the table.

She placed the photo frame in a spot that was easily visible, so even if she stood at the front door, she could see the photo illuminated by the sunlight.

"Okasan, I'm going out now, I'll come back to see you later~"

Looking at her mother's radiant smile in the photo frame, Sakura felt her already happy mood improve even more.

"Mom must be saying hello to me too."

Once Sakura waited for Kero to come downstairs, she grabbed it and took it into her hand, then walked towards the bridge.

Wow! What a beautiful sea of ​​flowers!

Sakura brought Keroberos to the bridge and saw a vast expanse of purple flowers on the other side.

It was a purple ocean composed of individual lavender plants, rippling in the breeze and spreading a romantic fragrance.

There was no one else around, so Xiao Ke didn't need to hide in her pocket.

It flew freely beside Sakura, breathing in the fragrance of lavender all around, its face filled with intoxication and wonder.

"The air feels so fresh! Every time I go out, you guys stuff me into your bags and pockets; it's suffocating!"

The early summer breeze ruffled Sakura's hair, making it sway along with the lavender.

She chuckled, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Xiao Ke, you're just a little mouse, and you look weird, with wings. People might think you're some kind of monster."

Xiao Ke: ()?

Let me tell you the truth.

I'm not suggesting you put one down while praising another!

There was absolutely no need to say the second half of the sentence!

Xiao Ke glared at Xiao Ying.

However, the latter seemed completely unaware, his attention entirely focused on observing his surroundings.

The river flows beneath the bridge, its clear, clean water meandering down the mountain at a leisurely pace.

The river was calm, with shimmering ripples that reflected a wondrous luster under the light.

"Hey, Xiao Ke, look! There's an old man fishing down there!"

Sakura leaned over the bridge and looked down. She immediately spotted an old man sitting on the riverbank in the distance, leisurely stroking his fishing rod.

"Can you catch fish here? I don't see any fish." Xiao Ke also peeked out half her head, looking sneaky and furtive, and didn't look like a good person.

"Since someone is fishing, there must be fish, right?" Sakura shook her head, paused to look around for a moment, and then continued on her way.

After crossing the small bridge, Sakura and Kero entered the forest.

The fragrance of lavender gradually faded.

Instead, there is the fresh fragrance of soil and trees.

"Heave-ho!"

"call""

Sakura opened her arms, her eyes slightly closed, feeling the breeze and sunlight falling on her arms, and a sudden urge to urinate welled up in her heart.

"Oh, I feel like I need to go to the bathroom." Sakura's expression stiffened slightly.

Forget about appreciating the beauty of nature, she looked ahead and said, "I wonder how far away the big villa that Brother Xue Tu and the others mentioned is. I could vaguely see it before I left, but I can't see it anymore now that I'm here."

"You want to use someone else's toilet?" Xiao Ke flew around in the sky, sometimes running up a tree to watch insects crawl, sometimes flying to a branch to pick a leaf and put it to her nose to smell it.

Upon hearing Sakura's words, it flapped its little wings and flew back.

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone go to someone else's house to use the toilet, hahaha!" Xiao Ke laughed.

"Hmph, shut up, you brat!" Sakura glared at her. "I never said I had to go to someone's house to use their bathroom. I can just go check it out, and if it's not working, I can come back—what?! I didn't actually need to use the bathroom that much!"

Kero, listening to Sakura's words, rolled his eyes so small they were almost invisible: "Fine, fine, if you don't want to go, then you don't want to go~"

"I didn't say I didn't want to go, I just didn't really want to go—" Sakura muttered.
