The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

"Eh—isn't it?!"

Chapter No.17 Eternal Peace

"Welcome back - wow?! It smells so heavy!"

Youzi, who heard Yaoji say that Wu Ye was back, happily ran to the door to greet her, but when she saw her, she was nearly fainted by the smell of alcohol, and she complained: "Aren't you underage, Aaron? Why did you drink so much?" ?”

"It's not me! I haven't touched a drop of alcohol from the beginning to the end, okay?" Wu Ye turned sideways, so that Yuko could clearly see the source of the alcohol smell, it turned out to be someone on his back.

"Huh? I don't remember her..."

After seeing the person clearly, Youzi was stunned for a moment, and then said darkly: "Wu Ye, according to the laws of Kyoto, robbing a woman from a good family without authorization is punishable by exile."

"..."

"But don't worry, since we are friends, even if you become a scumbag, I will try my best to help you keep the secret."

"Do it on purpose, you bastard! Look clearly, this guy is Seimei!"

In the end, Takeya and Yuko had a quarrel for no reason, and the two finally dragged the drunk Seimei to the guest room...

Wu Ye never imagined that Qingming, who drank like a man, could drink so badly. The two of them were chatting happily, but she suddenly fell to the ground, which really scared Wu Ye.

Originally, seeing how she drank, she had to be a character who can drink a thousand cups, but who knew that she would be unconscious after only one pot of wine.

Moreover, this guy doesn't seem to have a good wine quality. After being dragged up by Wu Ye, he seemed to be on him and couldn't leave. He wanted to find someone to take her back, but hell, when he heard that it was Qingming, he even ran away. .

At first, Wu Ye just guessed that she was not popular, but later he realized that she was really not popular. It was not a joke that he was the only friend in the capital.

At the critical moment, the old man didn't know where he was going, but Wu couldn't shake Qingming off, and no one was willing to help, so he had no choice but to carry Qingming all the way back to Yuko.

The banquet lasted from the morning until the evening, and after Takeya and Yuko arranged Qingming, it was already dark.

"Phew, I'm exhausted." Wu Ye lay down on the tatami mat carelessly, even finding it difficult to move an extra finger.

"Thank you, please." Yuko handed a cup of tea to her side.

"Thank you," turned over and drank the tea, Wu Ye slammed his mouth, and his mental fatigue immediately subsided a lot: "By the way, Yuko, why did you come back so early, aren't you the protagonist?"

"Who said the protagonist can't leave the banquet early?" Yuko shrugged and said, "The banquet was boring and contrived. If Master He Mao hadn't been procrastinating, I would have wanted to leave a long time ago."

"Lord He Mao?"

"Master He Maozhongxing, the leader of Onmyoji, is that old man."

"Oh, it's him."

Wu also suddenly realized, no wonder the name sounded familiar. In the original history, he was Qingming's master. It's interesting to say that the greatest achievement of this onmyoji in his life was to cultivate such a legend as Qingming.

"Speaking of which, how do you feel, Takeya?"

When there is no one around, Yuko would call Takeya by her real name, and she joked narrowly: "How does it feel to be a hero? I see that many people admire you very much."

"Who is the hero, let's talk about it first, but I didn't do anything." Wu Ye's face was dark, and he deliberately added the accent on the words "did nothing".

That's the fact, Seimei was the one who found out that the monster defeated the monster, and he really didn't do anything.

"Eh——" Youzi said unexpectedly: "I thought you must be very happy, but you repelled a big monster, that is a big monster."

"So what, the people who investigated the troops died in the end. Besides, they just repelled a monster that invaded near the capital. Isn't it a bit too much for them to celebrate like that?"

Yuko paused for a moment, and the frivolity in his eyes was much less in the next second: "I think so because you are too strong, Takeya. Do you know how much you have to pay to fight against monsters before this?"

"...Sorry, I took it for granted."

That's right, not every onmyoji has Qingming's ability to take big monsters seriously. Most of the onmyojis may die even if they encounter an ordinary monster, let alone other people.

Really bad times.

Wu Ye was silent and let out a wordless sigh, why fight?For territory or for survival?Or is it for those illusory reputations?

Wu also didn't understand that human beings in this era are born with a mission, that is to fight monsters, otherwise they will be buried in their stomachs, but is reality really so difficult to reconcile?

Monsters feed on humans, but they don't have to be humans. What they need is not simply human life, but the fear they have.

And do humans have to fight monsters?The singing and dancing that can be seen everywhere in Kyoto is not a lie. Human beings living in common sense and capable people fighting in non-sense seem to be in two completely different worlds.

The conflicts in the past hundreds of thousands of years have never been as intense as they are today. Can't everyone calm down and have a good talk?Just like back in Gensokyo... wait, Gensokyo?

Wu Ye looked at Yuko, hesitated again and again, and then asked, "Youko, do you know Gensokyo?"

"Huh?" Yuko blinked blankly and asked, "What is that? Is it the name of Takeya's hometown?"

"No, that's a..." Frowning, Wu Ye thought for a long time alone before explaining in such words: "The paradise of monsters."

"Huh? What's that?"

"That is a world where monsters and humans can live in peace. It is a paradise that isolates monsters from humans outside and belongs to monsters."

Listening to Takeya's words, Yuko's pupils have been shrinking slowly, she forced a smile and said: "Sounds very interesting, is this a fairy tale?"

"No, this is what I have seen, what I have seen with my own eyes," Wu Ye said in a low voice, very seriously: "Youzi, tell me, is there really no way for everyone to live in peace? No need What a peace, just need to avoid this endless fighting with each other."

Wu is not an adult, but it does not mean that he is still a child. He will never be naive enough to dream of a happy future for you, me, everyone, yes, if it is just him alone.

But the reality is not like this, he saw it, he really saw it, in the future 1000 years later, both monsters and human beings exist, neither exterminates the other, they live in two different worlds .

That is Paradise.
