[Onmyoji] In the days of becoming one eye link

"The Lantern Festival is a grand ceremony for monsters. It's a pity if you don't blame it." Qing Xingdeng supported his own lantern with both hands, put his feet on my knees, raised his chin slightly and looked at my expression with a look down, " What's more, you don't have a proper reason to refuse, so how about going with me?"

"Even if you say that..." I helplessly looked at her who clung to me after being helped once, and felt a bit of a headache, "The grand ceremony of monsters is actually of no use to me."

"Are you being old-fashioned?" Qing Xingdeng immediately gave up his pretense of being a lady, "I'm begging you for eight days, not begging you."

"You..." Just as I was about to say something, she pulled me up and sat on her lamp. Yulong was playing happily in the forest over there, and saw me and Qingxing Deng were about to fly away Hurry up and swim over.

Yes, you read that right, swim.

As a dragon, he was afraid of heights and couldn't fly.

So it really is a loach in dragon skin, loach.

"Lian! You can't leave me behind!" Yulong wrapped his arms around my waist tightly, and he didn't forget to yell loudly even with his eyes closed.

"I won't leave you behind." I straightened his messy beard and heard Qing Xingdeng's uncontrollable laughter.

"Your imperial dragon is quite special."

"I also think he is quite special." Like a loach.

"Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever seen you have friends other than me."

"Probably because the fate has not arrived." After hundreds of years, it is indeed the fate that has not arrived.

"This Lantern Festival, maybe your fate will happen."

"The word seizure..." I paused as I spoke, and I seemed to remember something in a trance, but I didn't think of anything.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, your lamp is quite strong."

I finally arrived at the area where the Lantern Festival is located in the lower reaches of Arakawa. Qingxing Deng covered up the occasional escaping divine power for me, and then said that I saw an old acquaintance, and disappeared among a large group of monsters in a blink of an eye.

This guy is so irresponsible.Sighing, I stroked the dragon's beard for the circle-eyed Yulong, and looked around at the lively scene of this Lantern Festival, which is very famous among monsters.

A group of beautiful female monsters by the river have already lit lanterns to watch them go upstream, and some sentimental ones even follow the lanterns to go upstream there; the monsters on the street are playing and talking funny things in twos and threes, shoulder to shoulder, There are no previous disputes, and they just coexist peacefully; there are also many mobile vendors, mostly selling lantern paper models and some masks, as well as sugar figurines and clay figurines.

My eyes stopped for a while on the sugar figurine booth, and then I looked away.

I'm a little craving for it, but I don't know what it tastes like compared to Kopeito.

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but touch the purse at my waist, which contained Qingxing lanterns and stuffed it to me on the road, saying that it was money for buying lanterns, not human silver, but the currency belonging to monsters.

Just when the feet were raised, a green monster pushed the stall and passed by my eyes. I took a look at the long-nosed tengu mask.

It is very similar to the mask of the big tengu.

"How much is this mask, please?"

"Fifteen demon coins."

It happened to be the sum of the money that Qing Xingdeng gave me. I reluctantly glanced at the sugar man's stall from the corner of my eye, and bought the tengu mask with my money.

"Lian, why are you buying this ugly mask? Don't you want to buy lanterns?"

"I'm not interested in lanterns, I just think this mask... I'm a little concerned." My fingertips rubbed against the smooth surface of the mask, and the corners of my lips couldn't help showing a faint smile.

If it was him, he might buy this mask after seeing it.

At this moment, a voice that was too familiar to me sounded from behind, "Can you give me that mask?"

When he looked back, he was standing in a dimly lit place, his eyes were serious and a little embarrassed.

"Of course." I agreed almost subconsciously, and handed the mask in his hand.

"I am the god of Mount Atago, Daitengu."

"I am... Lian, Fengshen."

"I thought I was the only god who would come to the Lantern Festival." Otengu bent his eyes and hung the mask around his waist in an unknown way, "In return for giving me the mask, I will treat you to a sugar man. "

I looked at him with some surprise, but only got a universal comforting look.

In front of the sugar figurine booth, I watched the big tengu make a lot of gestures with the stall owner, but I didn't hear the meaning clearly.It's just that my heart beat a little too much, I quickly grabbed the drowsy Yulong's tail, lowered my head and let the hair cover my reddish face.

"Lian?" Hearing the voice of the big tengu calling me, I quickly calmed down and looked up, and saw two sugar figurines in his hand, one was my appearance, and the other was his own.

"You eat this." He handed over his own candy figure, and said, "This way, I eat Lian, and Lian eats me."

"it is good."

This candy man is the best candy I have ever eaten, even sweeter than the Jinping candy that Boya specially bought.

I wandered with Ootengu for a long time, during which Yulong who had dozed off was in high spirits, and kept staring at Ootengu with staring eyes like a hungry wolf, which made me think that the two of them had some kind of enmity when they first met.

When the sky suddenly appeared, the time of parting also came.

"You are always welcome to Mount Atago, Lian."

"I also welcome you to the shrine."

Watching the back of the big tengu go away, I patted the head of Yulong who finally calmed down.

"Tell me, what's your dissatisfaction with him?"

"I have a hunch! This guy will take Lian away!"

"What nonsense, no one will take me away, I will always be by your side."

"Hmph, even what you say counts."

"of course."

After finally coaxing a certain Yulong to be happy, Qing Xingdeng came late, and I saw that she was in a particularly good mood.

"Are you done reminiscing with your old friend?"

"Yeah." She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Did you have a good time last night?"

"well enough."

"Liar, obviously very happy."

Riding on the lantern of Aoyuki, we flew back to the shrine staggeringly. On the way, Aoyuki kept telling me interesting stories about her acquaintance.

"Then Yan Mo dropped his pen and pointed at the judge, and said, are you thinking that the hell will not work without me, or are you just thinking about me? At that time, the judge almost jumped up and said that it was either me or I just hope Lord Yan Mo can relax... "

"There are also many interesting things in the underworld."

"The most indispensable thing in this world is interesting things. I still have a lot. If you want to hear it, I will tell you one by one later."

Qing Xingdeng and I looked at each other and smiled, two monsters/gods who have been lonely for too long, always hope to have a companion to pass the time.

I have lived for too long, such a long time, watching the changes of the years, but I am not the same.

The author has something to say: My friends are so diligent in urging, and today I am still laying down my body peacefully
