After solving the Hei Seimei incident, Sanjo Mansion ushered in a rare leisure time.
In the huge courtyard, the tall trees rustled in the sun, and the soft breeze came from an unknown distance, wrapped in the light fragrance of flowers, which was pleasant and pleasant.
"Da da da--"
The sound of dense footsteps came from far and near, and Xiaohumaru, who was sitting on the porch and combing his hair, tilted his head slightly, and raised his eyebrows after seeing the person clearly: "It's really the same spirit as always, little tengu."
Hearing this, the dagger who was rushing all the way clattering on his clogs quickened his pace even more.
With a flick of his long sleeves, in the next second, he appeared beside Xiaohuwan like Lingbo's flying bird.
"Hey, Kohomaru, do you know where the three adults are?"
The voice of the short knife was a little hasty due to the rapid running before, but this did not prevent him from asking with bright eyes and full of expectation.
"The words of Master Santiao are still in the forging room."
"Hey, why is this..."
The little tengu frowned in confusion, and muttered in frustration.
Seeing this, Xiaohumaru kindly explained: "You know the extent of the damage to the black crane. It is not easy to repair the sword like that, and it will take a lot of time."
You must know that under normal circumstances, it is not a big deal to forge a sword and sword for a year and a half. Although the black crane is not a new sword that needs to be re-forged, but such a miserable injury, without the spiritual power of the god judge and the acceleration talisman, it is not a big deal. Under such circumstances, as an ordinary person, Sanjo Muneki would have to spend a lot of time and energy.
But then again...
"What are you looking for, Master Santiao?"
"...the festival."
It seems that because the topic of interest was mentioned, the sleepy little tengu quickly cheered up again, and gestured with dancing: "I heard from the guard at the door that there is a festival going on outside! I think—— Let Master Santiao take us to see it!"
Because of Fusangshen's relationship, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, when it comes to the activities of leaving Sanjo Mansion, Sanjo Sokami usually takes them there, such as the previous banquet of Nakanogen's family.
"I think Master Santiao probably doesn't have time recently."
Xiaohumaru put down the comb in his hand, and said slowly.It's a pity, but the knife maker who is obsessed with repairing knives obviously doesn't want to go out to the festival now.
"Hey..."
The little tengu let out a grievance and small whimper.
Xiaohumaru gave Dagger a funny look: "If you really want to go that much, why not go to elder brother."
His long and narrow eyes were filled with a smile, with a glass-colored luster: "If brother is willing to accompany you, Master Santiao will not stop him if he wants to."
The reason why Sanjo Zongjin didn't let them go out alone was because he was worried about their safety.
After all, there are many monsters and onmyojis in Kyoto, and Fu Sangshen, who can't tell whether he is a god or a monster, will not please him no matter which side he meets.
However, if there is the present sword, just considering the force value of the Odachi, everything is another matter.
"I think so too! I thought of this earlier, but!"
Little Tengu opened his eyes wide, and raised his tone excitedly: "But——Jianjian is... a house!"
Pulling out a word learned from Shizheng from his mind, the child-like dagger pulled the ends of his hair as if discouraged, with a look full of resentment: "You can sit staring at a tree?" All day long, don't I have a tree that looks better... no, I mean... if only Imaki could be a little more lively... I've always been..."
—I really want to get closer.
The voice got lower and lower as he went to the back, and the dagger frowned aggrievedly, stirring restlessly with his fingertips.
"..."
Xiaohumaru silently stared at the dagger in front of him, and after a while, he looked sideways to the distance, with a playful smile on his slightly raised lips: "...he said so, brother."
This sentence is obviously not for the dagger.
The little tengu who reacted froze, and blinked his eyes belatedly——Hey, hey... No, can't it? !
Little Tengu raised his head in a dazed expression, followed Xiaohumaru's line of sight, and then he saw a tree—this was the tallest tree in the entire courtyard, growing very well, lush, with some branches It has even protruded beyond the courtyard wall, with a domineering vitality.
However, this is not the point, the real point is——
Among the dense or light greens, there is a touch of silver, like a frightened bird, flickering through countless tiny light and shadows.
——That figure, which is not unfamiliar to the little tengu, is standing on a thick branch at the moment, leaning against the trunk of the big tree, as quiet as a faint moonlight.
As if he had noticed the little tengu's gaze, the man casually turned his eyes, looked sideways, and looked down.
"……Eh?!!!"
Xiao Tiangou raised his finger and pointed at the man, his voice suddenly raised and trembling unsteadily: "Today's sword?!"
"You... Could it be that you have been here all the time?!"
Obviously yesterday I just sat on the corridor and stared at the tree, but today I moved to the tree? !
More importantly, as the dagger with the best detection ability, he didn't find it at all? ! ! !
Xiao Tiangou slapped his face with one hand, feeling hopeless: "So, have you heard about the sword today..."
There is nothing worse than complaining behind your back and being caught by the person involved.
—Wow, damn it!Sure enough, practice is not enough!
Xiaohumaru looked at the dagger's sudden loss of composure, smiled and shook his head, and then looked at the big sword standing on the tall tree.
Fu Sangshen with silver hair and golden eyes was also looking at this side, the bottom of his calm eyes was clear and cold, as quiet as ever, without saying a word.
However, this cooldown did not last long.
With the sound of rubbing the sleeves of his clothes, Fu Sangshen, who was originally hiding among the trees, suddenly dodged to the side of the little tengu.
Then, Fu Sangshen raised his hand without saying a word, and picked up the collar of the little Tengu.
After the little tengu reacted belatedly, he couldn't help but thumped a few times.However, his movements were clumsy and slow, and he struggled quite carelessly, as if he was resigned to his fate.
Jin Jian glanced down at him: "Be more lively, huh?"
The slightly rising ending sound seems to be subtly carrying a bit of danger.
Little Tengu: "...QAQ"
Seeing the appearance of the dagger, Jin Jian stopped talking, and walked out of the courtyard with the other in his hand.
"Where are we going?"
As if being strangled by the back of fate, the little tengu stretched his body stiffly, wondering if Imaiken was going to drag him to close his hands.After all, ignoring what he said, just being a dagger and not being able to find the trace of Otachi is already shameful enough.
However, Imai didn't seem to take this opportunity to sharpen his dagger.
He just closed his eyes and said bluntly: "Go to the festival."
……
It wasn't until Xiaotengu was led out by Imaiken, and then walked towards the central Kyoto, where the fireworks and splendor of the festival, that he finally calmed down the initial excitement, and realized a problem belatedly : "...Don't we call Shang Yanrong and the others?"
Although being able to be alone with Imai...well, I'm very happy...but after that, he is very likely to face "kind" treatment from other brothers... No, it seems super bad to think like this!
"We don't need them for now."
Jin Jian walked ahead without looking sideways, without wavering in his steps.
The little tengu who came back rationally thought about Odachi's words, and then thought of the farewell that Xiaohumaru seemed to understand before going out, and understood something in a flash: "Did something happen?"
It is almost impossible to expect Jinjian to have the intention to go to the festival. Now, for the first time, he wants to take action. It is probably because of something.
When the silver-haired Fu Sangshen heard the words, he glanced at the dagger sideways in surprise, and then affirmed the other party's words: "I found something, and I'm a little concerned."
...No, it shouldn't be a trivial matter to be "a little concerned" by Imaiken.
Just thinking about it, the little tengu immediately put away his excited appearance, and clenched his body with his right hand hidden in the wide sleeve, already entering the state of preparation for battle.
However, the self-serious appearance of the little tengu, after he persisted until he entered the place of the festival, he couldn't help but broke his merits——
"Wow! It's Mikoto!"
The dagger was amazed, and his eyes reflected the scene not far away, shining brightly.
I saw a group of men wearing golden and white hunting clothes, carrying small sedan chairs, parading on the wide street.
The long line could not be seen from the beginning to the end at a glance, cruising past with great momentum like a dragon and snake.Wherever the team passed by, it was accompanied by the rain of flowers falling from the sky, and the excited cheers of the onlookers on the street——
"God, please protect us!"
"Master Inari God, please bestow grain and fruits next year, and the weather will be good!"
"Wow, it's too short to see at all, can the kind people in front give way, please!!!"
"Damn it, I can't find God of War's god, could it be that I missed it QAQ?"
"Master Land God, I want to get married!!!"
"The Lord God of the Great Country..."
His ears were filled with people's prayers and the names of various gods. Looking at the sedan chairs in the distance, Imai thought, "Is it the god's abode?"
The bright lights ignite the jewels and gold stones adorning the mikos. Each miko looks like a miniature shrine. At a glance, they seem to be the same in appearance, but in fact each miko has its own completely different design.
They are carried on the shoulders piously and respectfully by people, solemn and sacred, exquisite and noble.
"In each shrine, different gods are enshrined."
Tengu explained briskly: "Humans call this activity 'wandering gods,' and believe that the wanderings of these gods bring about cleansing and purification."
As for whether it really has this effect, it all depends on whether the enshrined gods are willing to give blessings or not.Of course, under normal circumstances, the gods are grateful for people's sincerity, and they will not be stingy in sending blessings.
Jin Jian watched the long procession pass by from a distance, and did not approach any further.He didn't come out from the corner until the last mikoshi went away, and the pedestrians who were onlookers also flocked away.
Feasting his eyes, the little Tengu withdrew his gaze from following Mikoto, thinking that he came out this time to do business, so he tried to flatten the corners of his lips, and said seriously: "Did you find anything about Jinjian?"
"……kindness."
The silver-haired Fu Sangshen tilted his head slightly: "I can confirm now that he has indeed come to Kyoto."
Originally, when I was in Santiao Mansion, I only had a very weak feeling, vaguely, seemingly absent.
But now, the other party seems to have been stimulated by something, which caused a lot of fluctuations in his breath.Within the current range of distance, his existence can already be confirmed.
……he?
Little Tengu tilted his head in confusion: "Who?"
Jin Jian turned his eyes: "Evil King Luo."
"……Eh?!!!"
As if frightened, the little tengu widened his eyes slightly: "Isn't the evil king the guy who was beaten by you...cough, defeated. I remember that he is a big monster with a strong reputation. He came to the capital at this time do what?!"
This is the most grand festival in Kyoto. During this time, countless gods are watching here, even including the group of high-ranking gods living in Izumo.
So just like that, under the eyes of the gods from all sides, those monsters who had been lurking in the dark all tacitly hibernated temporarily.
Because—the current Kyoto belongs to the realm of the gods.
"It's fine for the little monster to play tricks, those gods may not care about it. But... a big monster like the Eluo King, at this sensitive time..."
The childish dagger frowned, showing a headache that didn't match his appearance: "I hope nothing serious will happen."
"I think it's too late."
Imaiken stared at the Odachi that suddenly started buzzing in his hand, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "That guy, he has given up patience now."
Little Tengu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this—what... mean?
Then in the next moment, the ghostly aura soaring into the sky suddenly rose from the distance, and spread to the surroundings like a torrent that broke the embankment.
As the dagger with the most sensitive five senses, it was caught off guard by such a big impact, and Xiaotiangu couldn't help holding his breath for a moment in a daze—this is... the Eluo King, this sense of oppression... so strong!
After recovering with difficulty, Xiao Tengu looked at the ominous aura that was almost materialized in the distance, as if looking for the backbone, he quickly turned his head to look at Imaiken.
But under this breathless coercion, the silver-haired Fu Sangshen was not affected at all, and even looked away early, and cast his gaze in another direction——
That was the direction the previous Mikoshi team had left.
There, the people were terrified and excited, bowing fervently to a shrine shimmering with golden light, and shouting loudly——
"Look! It's God's descent! Lord God has come to save us!!!"
There are two places, one on the left and one on the right, one for ghosts and one for gods.
——In this situation, they are fighting head-to-head, and something big is going to happen?
Imaiken looked indifferently at the Odachi who was still humming excitedly, so the next moment, the buzzing sword suddenly turned off, and became as quiet as a chicken.
——Heh, no matter who it is, dare to cause trouble in the boundary of Santiao Mansion...
——Looking for a beating.
In the huge courtyard, the tall trees rustled in the sun, and the soft breeze came from an unknown distance, wrapped in the light fragrance of flowers, which was pleasant and pleasant.
"Da da da--"
The sound of dense footsteps came from far and near, and Xiaohumaru, who was sitting on the porch and combing his hair, tilted his head slightly, and raised his eyebrows after seeing the person clearly: "It's really the same spirit as always, little tengu."
