Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 277 Auction

Ball shop.

This is a small and exquisite shop, and the environment inside is also very clean.

This style is very different from that of Scarborough, which is a casual, rough place.

So the business of the meatball shop has always been deserted, and now the market time has passed, so there is only one girl who looks like the proprietress in the whole meatball shop.

It was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a red kimono. The cuffs of the kimono were tied up with the same red ribbon to prevent the cuffs of the kimono from getting dirty while working, not to mention this A meatball shop, if the sleeves of the kimono touch the balls, it will make people feel very unhygienic.

The girl propped her chin with her own hands, lying on the glass counter, and the girl's clean face was reflected in the glass.

"What do you need to eat?"

Seeing Xia Mu and Jiaotu walking into the store, the girl asked.

Such a young and beautiful girl actually runs a meatball shop in the small town of Scarborough. Xia Mu has never heard of such a thing.

"Excuse me... what do you need to eat?"

The girl saw that Xia Mu seemed to be thinking about something, so she asked again. Although it was the second time, there was no trace of displeasure in her voice and tone, but a very polite and polite question.

Xia Mu came back to his senses, just now Xia Mu was thinking why such a young and beautiful girl runs a meatball shop in this place, but the business is so deserted that she didn't notice it at all.

"Jiaotu, tell me what you want to eat."

Xia Mu looked at Jiaotu and said softly.

"Three big fortune pancakes, and a bunch of octopus balls, a bunch of pickled cabbage balls, and corn balls..."

Jiaotu pointed to the pictures of meatballs in different colors on the menu and said.

"Jiaotu, have you eaten so much?"

Xia Mu asked.

"Well, if you can't finish eating, you can take it with you on the way back."

Jiaotu replied.

In the past, Xia Mu and Mussel had already eaten a lot of food with Jiaotu, but now Xia Mu and Mussel didn't want to eat meatballs again.

The meatballs that Jiaotu ordered were for one person.

"Then let's find a place to sit down."

Xia Mu looked at Jiaotu and said to her.

The meatball shop is very small, there are only four long tables in the shop, but each table is very clean, giving people a very good feeling.

Xia Mu chose a seat by the window, so that he could look at the scenery outside the window when he was bored, at least he didn't have to keep paying attention to Jiaotu who was eating.

"It's obviously a very good meatball shop, since it's so deserted..."

Jiaotu looked at the back of the girl in the red kimono who walked into the kitchen and said slowly.

When Jiaotu said these words, there was obviously a feeling of regret in it.

"It may be that the merchants in the small town of Scarborough don't like meatballs. After all, they like food like wine and meat."

Xia Mu explained.

It was already evening at this time, and the sun's light became dimmed. On the wall of an abandoned house not far away, a vine of Xiyanhua climbed along the mossy wall to the top of the wall.

The white Xiyan flowers were quietly placed temporarily in the dusk, but Xia Mu and the others saw this scene through the window glass of the meatball shop at this time.

Under the influence of the glass and the dim yellow light, the white Xiyan flowers also seemed to turn light yellow. It looked less pure, but more memory-related.

"Your meatballs are here!"

The girl's shallow voice rang in the ears of Xia Mu and Jiaotu.

The sound is the same as the light outside.

Very light, very shallow, even if it is very abrupt, it will not make people feel any discomfort.

What a gentle woman...

The meatballs were placed in front of Jiaotu, and they looked delicious.

"Thank you."

Jiaotu said gratefully.

"It's okay, just call me if you need help, I'll be right by the counter over there."

The girl in a red kimono said to Jiaotu with a slight smile on her face.

After the girl finished speaking, she went back behind the glass counter, supported her head with her right hand, and looked at the scenery outside the window in this leisurely and comfortable posture.

However, the girl's gaze still glanced at Xia Mu and Jiaotu from time to time.

After all... this is her guest!
……

A yard where weeds grow wildly.

The next day's sunlight fell on Chen Beibei's bed through the window, and the dazzling eyes woke Chen Beibei up.

It was seven o'clock in the morning.

Chen Beibei propped his upper body up with both hands and moved back, looking at the headboard of the bed.

Although already awake.

But I definitely won't get up immediately, because after waking up in the morning, that period of time seems to be extraordinarily precious, and compared with other times, it also seems longer.

During this time, Chen Beibei usually used it to sign in the game, place enchantment cards, foster shikigami, and say hello to the bosses on the Lao channel.

It only took about 5 minutes to do this.

"Master, you are awake."

Guanhu poked his head out of the bamboo tube, looked at Chen Beibei, and said softly.

Guanhu has always lived in the same house with Chen Beibei.

But Chen Beibei slept on the bed, while Guanhu slept in his own bamboo tube.

The fragrance of the bamboo tube can make Guanhu's heart calm down. Only in the bamboo tube can Guanhu really have a good night's sleep.

"Well, Guanhu, we're going to the auction tonight to have a look, maybe we won't sleep all night, so at this time, you can sleep a little longer and don't need to get up in a hurry."

Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and said to her.

Last night, the old man had formally invited Chen Beibei to participate in the Charm Auction, and Chen Beibei had already agreed.So Chen Beibei will definitely go tonight.

"If you wake up, you won't be able to sleep. It doesn't matter if you don't sleep all night. Master, let me accompany you."

Guan Hu got out of the bamboo tube, jumped onto Chen Beibei's bed, stood by Chen Beibei's hand, and said to him.

"Ok."

Chen Beibei replied.

"Master's thoughts seem to have changed more recently, especially after the old man appeared. Master didn't sleep well last night..."

Guanhu's black eyes looked very deep and pure.

It is a pair of very beautiful eyes.

However, when looking at Guan Hu, Chen Beibei couldn't help but look away.

Because when looking into Guan Hu's eyes, Chen Beibei felt that this little white fox seemed to be able to see through his own heart.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and nodded.

As for Guan Hu, Chen Beibei didn't want to hide it, after all, Guan Hu had always been that kind of monster who understood people's wishes.

Moreover, Guan Hu would not tell others what Chen Beibei said to her.

Because of this, in front of Guan Hu, Chen Beibei didn't need to hide anything.

"The melon planting technique used by that old man looks amazing, and the enchantment used by those men in black seems to be very powerful. How many people in this world can use these magical spells, and what are they doing now? Something? What I was thinking was exactly this kind of thing. Although I knew there would be no answer, I couldn't help but think about it..."

Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and said to her.

"Yesterday the old man said 'There will be many people like the owner at the auction.'

It's also because of this that the master made up his mind to go to that auction, right?
In this way, the question in Master's mind may be answered..."

Guan Hu's eyes were fixed on Chen Beibei's face, and he never moved away when he was speaking.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei replied.

Night is coming soon.

This night, compared to the previous night, the moon in the sky became thinner.

It is a crescent moon like a silver hook.

But because the moon is getting dimmer, the stars in the sky are much brighter than the previous night.

"What a beautiful starry sky..."

On the way to the auction site on Chunyu Street, a sigh came out of Guanhu's mouth.

This is a thought that comes from the heart.

The black night sky is dotted with countless stars. If you look carefully, you will find that the stars are arranged in wonderful patterns.

Such a scene is indeed beautiful!

The intersection with the words Chunyu Street written on it can be seen at a glance from far away.

After all, the three words Chunyu Street are located at a high position, and they are arranged with bright neon lights, so they can be easily distinguished at night.

"Master, Chunyu Street is ahead."

Gu Huoniao, who was walking in front, turned around and reminded Chen Beibei.

When Gu Huo Niao reminded Chen Beibei, he put his hand on his umbrella sword. Obviously, Gu Huo Niao became more vigilant because he was close to Chunyu Street.

The enchanter I met last night.

Gu Huo Niao will not forget easily.

"Go on, go directly to the place yesterday, that empty intersection."

Chen Beibei looked at Gu Huo Niao and said calmly.

With so many shikigami by his side, Chen Beibei was not afraid in his heart.

Although Chen Beibei knew that Chunyu Street was different now.It is no longer the land of smoke willows before, but has become a very dangerous place.

When we reached the intersection of Chunyu Street.

Chen Beibei and the others saw four people, three men and one woman. The three men were all wearing navy blue robes, while the woman was wearing a pink robe.

Although it was a robe, it was a slim fit waist style.

The kind that will be easy to move around.

It doesn't look like ordinary people. Ordinary girls don't make clothes in such a style for convenience.

Because ordinary girls pay more attention to whether the clothes look good or not.

"It's the four men in black from last night..."

When walking, Inugami deliberately slowed down, and naturally appeared beside Chen Beibei, and then reminded him softly.

Inugami can tell who they really are by the smell on their bodies.

For this, it is worth believing.

"Well, don't worry about them, let's go in."

Chen Beibei's voice was also very low, because at this time, Chen Beibei and the others were already very close to those four people.

"We are here to participate in the Charm Auction."

Chen Beibei walked up to those four people and said to them.

At this time, the four people stood respectfully in front of the two pillars at the entrance of Chunyu Street, obviously playing the role of welcoming guests.

That's why Chen Beibei said it directly.

"Please come in."

The girl in the light red robe, Minako Yukimura, said to Chen Beibei.

She looks like a very immature little girl.

About twelve or thirteen years old.

However, what he did and the tone of his speech were indeed very serious.

Last night they wanted to kill Gu Huo Niao and Chen Beibei, but they were stopped by the old man, and the old man's attitude towards Chen Beibei was also very good.

When they faced Chen Beibei today, they looked very polite, as if they had completely forgotten what happened last night.

Of course, it's also possible that they just thought that Chen Beibei didn't recognize their real identities, so they naturally treated Chen Beibei and the others as strange guests.

Chen Beibei and the others did not expose the fact that they already knew that they were the men in black from last night.

Just walked into Chunyu Street.

Walk towards the empty intersection, this is where the auction will be held.

Before Scarborough Fair was over, there would be many beautiful women standing at this crossroads, but now I can't see any of them.

I don't know when a big platform was erected at the intersection.

The table was covered with red cloth, and the pillars on all sides were also wrapped in red cloth, which looked quite comfortable.Gives a new, luxurious feel.

At least compared with the deserted Chunyu Street now.

This desk has a luxurious feel to it.

"Master, there seems to be a person there..."

Guan Hu whispered in Chen Beibei's ear.

When Guan Hu was talking, he kept looking at a dark place under the newly built platform.

It is because the shadows of trees in the distance are projected down, forming a small dark area, which is in the lower right corner of the platform.

Under the shadow of the tree, leaning against the table covered with brand-new red cloth, the person curled up, motionless, and there seemed to be something beside the person.

Because the distance is relatively far, and the location of the person is very dark, so there is no way to see clearly.

"I'll go take a look!"

Gu Huoniao held his umbrella sword in his right hand, and walked towards the person curled up in the lower right corner of the table.

There is not a single sound in Chunyu Street at night.

Even Chen Beibei and the others held their breath. After all, no one knew what kind of person Gu Huo Niao was approaching.

Hold your breath and concentrate on the words.

It is possible to save Gu Huo Niao the moment she is in danger.

Quiet.

Quietly.

Even if a needle falls on the ground, it can be clearly heard in a quiet environment.

Gu Huo Niao walked without making the slightest sound...

　Good night~
