Next day, the new year was greeted officially. 第二天,新的一年正式被迎接。 On Minamiya Family's table, because of Kanon and Astarte's efforts, the lunar new year's cake soup and luxurious multi-layered lunch box was prepared, making Rozen have the luck to enjoy the delicious dishes. 在南宫家的餐桌上,因为夏音和亚斯塔露蒂的努力,年糕汤以及豪华的多层饭盒都被准备好了,让罗真大饱口福。 „I first went out.” “那我就先出门了。” After eating to the full, Rozen puts down the tableware, said a hello to the people, along with, even if the preparation goes out. 等到吃饱以后,罗真放下碗筷,向众人打了一个招呼,随即便准备出门。 But, before going out, Natsuki, who sat on the seat of honor and hadn't spoken until now, opened her mouth. 可是,在出门之前,坐在主位上一直都没说话的那月开口了。 „What terrible business should you not make?” “你应该不会去做什么麻烦事吧？” Natsuki sudden inquiry, made the movement of Rozen's hand stop. 那月突如其来的询问,让罗真手中的动作一顿。 Rozen then saw, Natsuki has been staring at itself, does not know that is looking at anything. 罗真这才看到,那月一直都在盯着自己,不知道到底在看什么。 Rozen has plants by Natsuki seeing through the feeling. 罗真有种已经被那月给看穿的感觉。 However, this degree of pressing for an answer, Rozen is also insufficient to give oneself away. 但是,这种程度的逼问,罗真还不至于露出马脚。 „So-called terrible business refers to what?” “所谓的麻烦事指的是什么？” Rozen is welcoming Natsuki's vision, careless as said such a line. 罗真迎着那月的目光,漫不经心似的说了这么一句。 „That did also say?” Natsuki lightly snorted, said: „Naturally refers to matters that will spoil my vacation.” “那还有说吗？”那月轻哼了一声,道:“当然是指会让我的休假泡汤的事情。” New year first day, Natsuki on rare had the vacation, does not need to perform duties, has or arranged the good person to replace own post work, should be able to steal to be lazy. 新年的第一天,那月就难得的有了假期,不需要执勤,亦或者说是已经安排好人代替自己的岗位工作,应该能够偷一下懒了。 only, the premise must be nothing important matter happened. 只是,前提必须是没什么大事发生。 If there is any important matter to happen, Natsuki's vacation estimated that will malinger. 如果有什么大事发生的话,那月的休假估计就会泡汤。 Such being the case... 既然如此... „I have not thought makes will let the important matter that District Garrison sets out.” “我可没想过闹出会让特区警备队出动的大事。” Rozen's reply, it may be said that is suitable has spirituality/intelligence. 罗真的回答,可谓是相当的有灵性。 „Right?” “是吗？” Natsuki tight is staring at Rozen. 那月紧紧的盯着罗真。 This time, Rozen has not avoided, not afraid, instead gazed, look quite tranquil. 这次,罗真没有避开,更没有心虚,反而注视了回去,眼神相当的平静。 Looks at such Rozen, Natsuki silent for a moment. 看着这样的罗真,那月沉默了一下下。 At once... 旋即... „Ok.” Natsuki like losing all interest was the same, waves, said: „That remembers comes back earlier, do not go to the too far place, otherwise I was direct to tie up in the past you.” “算了。”那月如同失去了所有的兴致一样,挥了挥手,道:“那记得早点回来,别去太远的地方,否则我就直接过去把你绑回来。” Then, Natsuki left the table, goes in the direction of own room. 说完,那月离开了餐桌,往自己的房间的方向而去。 Kanon and Astarte have been looking at two people to talk, until the dialogue ended, just now dares to make noise. 夏音和亚斯塔露蒂一直在看着两人对话,直到对话结束,方才敢出声。 „The Senpai plan and do Aiba-senpai and Yaze-senpai go out to play together?” “学长打算和蓝羽学姐和矢濑学长一起出去玩吗？” Kanon inquired in the gentle tone. 夏音以温柔的语气这么询问。 That tone, really makes one have to plant the cured feeling. 那语气,真的让人有种被治愈的感觉。 Rozen's heart cannot help but relaxed, actually shakes the head. 罗真的心就不由自主的放松了下来,却是摇了摇头。 „Lunar New Year's Day, those two are not free, needs with family member treating with courtesy well, to have no free time to respond me together.” “大年初一,那两人都没有空,需要和家里人一起好好的应酬,没空搭理我。” Rozen's these words are not dirtying own little friend, but really has its matter. 罗真的这番话可不是在埋汰自己的小伙伴,而是确有其事。 Don't forget, Asagi and Motoki are the family circumstances quite outstanding person, Asagi's father are Itogami Island's trustee, Motoki also and Man-made Island Management Corporation have very deep origin, two people belongs to that officer second generation, lunar New Year's Day this day indeed has many treating with courtesy, no opportunity comes out to play. 别忘了,浅葱和基树都是家境相当优秀的人,浅葱的父亲是弦神岛的评议员,基树家也和人工岛管理公社有着很深的渊源,两人都属于那种官二代,大年初一这一天的确有很多应酬,根本没什么机会出来玩耍。 conversely Kojou and Yuuma, two people fears today was all right, appearance that has free time momentarily, but Rozen is also insufficient is not tactful arrives to disturb those two people, those two people should have the arrangements of some attractive spectacle to be right. 反倒是古城和优麻,两人今天怕是都没事了,随时都有空的样子,可罗真还不至于不识趣到去打扰那两人,想必那两人应该有一些喜闻乐见的安排才对。 However, Rozen also wasn't alone by himself. 不过,罗真也不是自己一个人。 „I can go out to stroll casually with Himeragi.” “我会和姬柊一起出去随便逛逛的。” Rozen confessed. 罗真这么交代了。 However, single male and female goes out together strolls, this in others opinion, only has a possibility. 但是,孤男寡女一起出门闲逛,这在别人看来,只有一种可能。 „could it be that it's a date?” “难道是约会吗？” Kanon opened some eyes slightly, somewhat yearned said. 夏音微微睁大了一些眼睛,有些向往似的这么说了。 „Proposal, lunar New Year's Day suits the male and female date place to be many, but preferred Keystone Gate.” “提案,大年初一适合男女约会的场所不少,但首选基石之门。” Even the Astarte not spirited abort spoke a few words. 连亚斯塔露蒂都这么毫无昂扬顿挫的说了一句话。 What a pity... 可惜... „It is not date, the only a little matter needs to be done, said again, even anything does not have, so long as I go out, that girl will still follow by herself.” “不是约会啦,只是有点事情需要做而已,再说,就算什么事情都没有,只要我出门,那丫头也会自己跟过来的。” Rozen does not know whether to laugh or cry is saying, lets Kanon and Astarte somewhat is perplexed. 罗真哭笑不得的这么说着,让夏音和亚斯塔露蒂都有些不明所以。 But two people has not continued to ask again. 但两人也没有再继续问下去了。 „Needs to help you and Yukina-chan prepares the lunch?” “需要帮你和雪菜酱准备便当吗？” Such proposition that Kanon sympathizes extremely. 夏音极为体贴的这么提议。 „No, does not use, without accidental/surprised, we will come back to eat meal at noon, will not come back me to send SMS to tell you.” “不,不用了,如果没有意外,中午我们会回来吃饭的,不回来的话我会发简讯告诉你的。” Rozen expressed. 罗真如此表示。 „Good, that wished your date happy.” “好的,那祝你们约会愉快。” Kanon unfathomable mystery well-mannered bows to Rozen. 夏音莫名其妙的规规矩矩的向罗真低头。 „Does not use that politely, also, we are really not date.” Rozen can only laugh in spite of trying not, immediately gives Astarte the rice bowl, to its say/way: „I first went out, Natsuki-nee and Kanon gave you, Astarte.” “不用那么客气,还有,我们真不是约会。”罗真只能失笑,随即将饭碗交给亚斯塔露蒂,对其道:“那我就先出门了,那月姐和夏音都交给你了,亚斯塔露蒂。” „Accept.” The Astarte calm and composed receiving rice bowl, received Rozen's commission. “命令领受（Accept）。”亚斯塔露蒂古井无波的接过饭碗,算是接下了罗真的委托。 In Minamiya Family, Astarte has become indispensable one, not only concurs Natsuki's maid, assistant and secretary and so on work in several aspects, family's housework is also contracted by it completely, even Kanon is Astarte is looking, to guard Kanon to present what mishap. 在南宫家里,亚斯塔露蒂已经成为了不可或缺的一员了,不但身兼那月的女仆、助手及秘书等等几个方面的工作,家里的家务也被其全部承包,连夏音都是亚斯塔露蒂在照看着,以防夏音出现什么不测。 Although, in Minamiya Family, Kanon only has the politeness the gentle diner, young girl not only that but the regulations, this gentle sympathizes like Angel has the highest rank Spirit Medium quality, is Spiritual Power even can dominate Miko above Yukina, is Aldegyr Kingdom's royal woman, without the right of inheritance of throne, is former king's illegitimate daughter, some that many people are also coveting her bloodlines. 虽然,在南宫家里,夏音只是一个非常有礼貌又文静的食客,可实则,这位如天使般温柔又体贴的少女不但具备着最高等级的灵媒素质,是一名灵力甚至能够凌驾于雪菜之上的巫女,还是阿尔迪基亚王国的王室之女,哪怕没有王位的继承权,还是前任国王的私生女,那亦有很多人觊觎着她的血脉。 Now, Kanon lodges in Minamiya Family, was protected by Natsuki, then usually is responsible for her personal safety by Astarte, once is away from home, Aldegyr Kingdom arrangement bodyguard quietly in the protection, pours in secret did not fear that has what accidental/surprised. 现在,夏音是寄宿在南宫家,受到那月的保护,平时则是由亚斯塔露蒂在负责她的人身安全,一旦出门在外,阿尔迪基亚王国安排的护卫就会悄悄的在暗中跟上去保护,倒也不怕发生什么意外。 Especially some Astarte in side. 尤其是有亚斯塔露蒂在身边的时候。 After all, although Astarte is Homunculus, within the body has special Artificial Beast Vassal, once summoned Beast Vassal, power even can steamroll Old Guard Vampire, even Avrora's Beast Vassal once almost suffer a loss. 毕竟,亚斯塔露蒂虽是人工生命体,体内却有非常特殊的人工眷兽,一旦召唤眷兽,力量甚至可以碾压旧世代的吸血鬼,连阿古罗拉的眷兽曾经都差点吃了大亏。 Raises while convenient, when to pay Astarte summoned Beast Vassal life force that needs to consume, Rozen in the past through Fourth Progenitor the even/including when Astarte as well as within the body had a path, life force that making Fourth Progenitor of within the body seal pay Astarte to summon Beast Vassal needs, but since Fourth Progenitor by Rozen swallowing power, after evaporating the soul, Astarte loses this path. 顺带一提,为了支付亚斯塔露蒂召唤眷兽时需要耗费的生命力,罗真过去是通过在亚斯塔露蒂以及自己体内的第四真祖之间连起一条通路,让体内封印的第四真祖来支付亚斯塔露蒂召唤眷兽时所需的生命力,可自从第四真祖被罗真给吞噬了力量,蒸发了灵魂以后,亚斯塔露蒂就失去这条通路了。 This time, Rozen comes back, had considered lets Astarte and including has a path, making oneself pay this price. 这次,罗真回来,也有考虑过让亚斯塔露蒂和自己连起一条通路,让自己来支付这份代价。 In any case, own life force today we are no longer as we have been, has definitely been able to be the same with Vampires, free summon Beast Vassal, life force may be called inexhaustible, solves this problem, that is not difficult. 反正,自己的生命力已经今非昔比了,完全能够和吸血鬼们一样,自由自在的召唤眷兽,生命力堪称无穷无尽,解决起这个问题,那一点都不难。 However, considering that after oneself, leaves this world, on the path will perhaps give rise to what problem, Rozen decides to use another method. 然而,考虑到自己以后再离开这个世界,通路上或许又会发生什么问题,罗真决定用另外一个方法。 This method, actually pours is also quite simple. 这个方法,其实倒也颇为简单。 „Does that thing operate also smoothly? Astarte?” “那个东西运作得还顺利吧？亚斯塔露蒂？” Rozen turned toward Astarte to ask one. 罗真这么向着亚斯塔露蒂问了一句。 „Sure.” “肯定。” Astarte nodded, and opens wide the chest, was exposed by own chest slightly. 亚斯塔露蒂点了点头,并敞开胸口,让自己的胸口稍微暴露了出来。 Carefully looks, on Astarte's chest, is inlaying a red stone unexpectedly. 仔细一看,在亚斯塔露蒂的胸口上,竟是镶着一块红色的石头。 That stone, not only beautiful, and dazzling. 那石头,既美丽,又耀眼。
