[Onmyoji] A Dao

A knife has never been so angry.

Unexpectedly, Ibaraki always turns into a woman and goes out at night to meet some ugly human men.The jealousy that ignited in his thoughts pierced his heart like a sharp knife, burning A Dao so much that his soul felt extremely painful.

"She" smiled, and those people walked towards her like catkins melting in the spring water. □□Blindfolded, ghostly hand piercing the heart, just thinking about it cost my life in vain.

What's even more ridiculous is that "she" killed so many people just to ask for money.

Is it worth paying so much for that person?

Jealousy, anger, and perhaps mixed with other complex emotions that are inconvenient to delve into, A Dao emerged from the sword, ignoring Ibaraki's surprised eyes, and cut the opposite male human in half horizontally in a flash of silver light .

"Oh!" Izuku snorted in pain.

A Dao looked at him nervously. It turned out that human blood not only soaked his body just now, stained the white kimono with blood stains, but also splashed into his eyes.

Ibaraki was rubbing his eyes, and a cold hand covered the back of his hand.

"I'll do it." Ah Dao held his hand apologetically, and helped him to the nearby stream.Ibaraki closed his eyes, only hearing the sound of running water.

A piece of wet cloth touched his face and wiped it with extreme gentleness.

It hesitated a little when it touched the eyes, and after a pause, a cold liquid dripped into the eyes to wash away the human blood, probably stream water.

The discomfort soon disappeared, and when Ibaraki opened his eyes, he saw Ato squatting by the stream washing a piece of fabric torn from his kimono, the blood dyed the stream pink.

"Wipe your hands." Ah Dao handed over the cloth that served as a towel.

Ibaraki took it and wiped it casually twice, then threw the cloth back into the stream: "Why were you so excited just now?"

"That disgusting meat bug touched you with his dirty hands."

Ibaraki sneered and pointed to the corpse not far away: "I haven't touched it yet, but you surprised me. The method is really ruthless, much uglier than mine."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something, ran to the side of the two ugly corpses, endured his nausea, and dug out a purse from a pile of discarded internal organs.

After weighing the weight in it, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

A Dao looked at Ibaraki for a long time, and saw that he happily took out a few ingots of gold from his purse, washed them in the stream water and put them in his arms. Then he said, "It is said that human beings are greedy for money. I think you are more greedy than human beings."

"You don't understand." Scooping up a handful of water to wash off the makeup on his face, Ibaraki returned to his manly posture.

"Everything is for Shuten Doji, right?" A Dao asked.

Ibaraki glanced at him, but didn't answer.

"Is he so important to you!" A Dao, who was already a little angry when he didn't get a response, raised his voice.

"What's none of your business?" Ibaraki showed an impatient expression.

"..." Ah Dao lowered his head slightly hurt, and silently hid in the sword.

How I wish you didn't have to keep your eyes on him all the time, and you could look at me occasionally.

In the dark night, there was a cool breeze, and the lonely bright moon also fell into the clouds. Tuliu Ibaraki Boy stood alone by the stream, his silver hair was covered with icy light.

He gripped the knife at his waist.

Girls always have to be more delicate in their minds. Yingcao, who was cleaning up the room, keenly noticed that the table for the knife holder was uncharacteristically full of all kinds of candy and snacks, and it only increased.

"Master A Dao hasn't shown up for several days." She reminded tentatively.

"En." Ibaraki sat at the low table and replied lightly.

"Did you quarrel with Lord Ibaraki?"

"Speak up."

Yingcao was wiping the countertop with a dry cloth. Hearing this, she put down the work in her hands, stepped on her feet and hugged a wooden lacquerware with difficulty from the knife rest, and pushed it in front of Ibaraki.

"What is this?" Izuku asked in surprise.

Yingcao carefully lifted the lid of the box, "It is a treasured item of Lord A Dao."

Ibaraki looked at the Jinpei sugar silk bags neatly stacked next to each other in the box, and was speechless for a moment.

"The pastries and snacks sent by other girls every day, Mr. A Dao either gave to other hungry ghosts and little demons, or secretly fed the fish." Yingcao pointed to the box: "If you like to eat sweets, you can eat them every day. So much sugar will make you greasy. But Mr. A Dao finished eating, because you gave him all these."

"I don't even want to throw away the packaging, so I asked for a box to store it carefully." Yingcao lowered her eyes, "Master Ato... really cares about Lord Ibaraki."

But only Ibaraki-sama doesn't understand.

"Is that so..." Ibaraki rested his chin on one hand and kept tapping on the table with the other, showing a distressed expression: "I seem to have said something that hurt him."

Hotaru closed the lid of the box, put the lacquerware back to its original place, and knelt beside Ibaraki: "Ibaraki-sama can apologize to To-sama, or ask for forgiveness!"

"That's too embarrassing." Ibaraki turned his head to the side.

"Listen to Butterfly, three days later will be the annual Sumida River Fireworks Festival, you can invite Master Ato to go with you." Firefly grass leaned closer to Ibaraki's ear and whispered: "This is a good opportunity for reconciliation."

"Sumida River...isn't that under the jurisdiction of the Lord of Arakawa?"

Firefly nodded.

"This kind of activity of sacrificing water ghosts, what is there to participate in!" Ibaraki denied.

Yingcao looked at him helplessly, picked up the cleaning utensils and left in disappointment.

A moment after she pushed the door together, Ibaraki walked to the knife holder.After thinking for a while, he still gently brushed the exquisite pattern on the knife, coughed softly and whispered: "Will you go to see the fireworks festival with me in three days' time?"

……

Shuten-douji looked at Toto who was kneeling in front of him with some disgust.

"There's no need to be so servile."

Ah Dao raised his head, but his expression was neither humble nor overbearing.

"what's up."

"In two days, I will go to see the Fireworks Festival on Sumida River with Doji Ibaraki. I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

Shuten-douji grimaced.

"After all, the Fireworks Festival is very important. Except for humans, many monsters will secretly participate in it. It's not a big deal if you can't hide your monster aura. It's just that I killed too many humans, and my hostility is too strong..." A Dao's expression was a little sad.

"You are afraid that the hostility of killing will attract the attention of many onmyojis that night." Jiu Tun continued his words.

"Exactly."

"You are actually very strong. A mere Onmyoji is no match for you." Jiu Tun judged his strength.

"Thank you, Lord Ghost King, for your praise." Ah Dao still didn't show much expression: "I just... don't want to cause too much trouble."

"Hey, don't say it's because of Ibaraki that you put on such a cowardly appearance." Shuten-douji narrowed his eyes.

After a long silence, A Dao firmly raised his head to meet Shuten Doji's scrutinizing eyes: "I care about him, I think you can't understand it."

The little demon outside the door passed by and heard the piercing sound of broken porcelain coming from the ghost king's room.

……

"What happened to your forehead?" Ibaraki looked at the strange white bandage on A Dao's forehead, full of doubts.

Yingcao on the side thought of Peach Blossom Demon complaining about being cut by fragments of wine cups all over the floor while tidying up the ghost king Jiu Tun boy's room, and bit her lip but still didn't dare to make a sound.

"It's not a serious problem." Ah Dao laughed: "When I was wandering in the courtyard today, I found that the hydrangea bloomed really beautifully, but I bumped into a pillar while walking while watching the scenery." He pointed to his forehead: "Knock When it got a bit unsightly, I asked Ms. Yingcao to bandage it up."

This explanation is far from satisfactory.Ibaraki's brows were almost twisted into a knot: "Are those eyes of yours just for display?"

Looking at Ah Dao's face again, his expression can be described as ferocious: "No, what happened to your left eye?"

Ah Dao subconsciously covered his left eye: "It's all about borrowing some evil energy from Lord Ghost King, so that the onmyojis will not be leaked at the firework festival." The same golden color as you, not bad."

"boring."

The day of Ai has finally arrived.Ibaraki took off his armor and put on a white yukata, took his saber from the knife holder and pinned it to his waist.When he took a few wishing cards presented by Yingcao from the little demons, he secretly glanced twice, such as——

"Hope to grow hair" signed Kappa;

"Wings can be more beautiful!" is the butterfly spirit;

"I want to see the cherry blossoms with her again" I didn't expect it to be a three-tailed fox...

An unsigned sign that said "Master Ibaraki and Master Adao want to be happy every day" caught Ibaraki Doji's attention. He looked suspiciously at Yingcao who was dodging his eyes, held the wishing card and poked her on the forehead: "You little brat, What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it hurts!" Yingcao said dissatisfiedly covering her forehead: "Master Ibaraki, please stop peeking at everyone's wishes before God-sama, what if it doesn't come true!"

"Hahaha!" Ibaraki laughed exaggeratedly: "Those who are enshrined become gods, and those who are not enshrined become ghosts. There are thousands of wishes in the world, how many of them can really be realized?"

"Having said that, it's everyone's expectation... Even if it is impossible to realize, it is also a kind of beautiful sustenance hidden in the heart." Yingcao bowed deeply: "So I would like to ask Mr. Ibaraki to express everyone's wishes. The treetops hanging under the fireworks, the higher the better!"

"Okay." Putting the wooden cards into his sleeves, he flicked the scabbard: "Why hasn't this guy come out?"

"Ah! I almost forgot what Master A Dao told me!" Yingcao handed over a long white cloth strip: "Please wrap the knife in it to prevent the leakage of hostility and bring about unreasonable disasters! Master A Dao is inconvenient to show up today ..."

"Why is it so troublesome! You still act like a coward and don't show up, you know you won't go!" Ibaraki's tone was full of displeasure.

"Master A Dao, I'm just worried that it will be disadvantageous to you..."

Ibaraki had no choice but to wrap the knife with a cloth strip and went out alone with an angry face.

When he arrived in the town, it was already bustling with people coming and going, and the warm summer night breeze brushed against his cheeks.It was a little funny to watch the few monsters frantically fishing for goldfish mixed in the noisy crowd, even if the paper net was broken, they insisted on starting again.

"Is the world really so memorable?" Ibaraki laughed at himself, recalling the past when he was not treated kindly before he turned into an evil spirit.

People by the river tried their best to put their guards or wish cards on the treetops on their toes, as if the higher they were, the closer they were to the gods.Ibaraki himself has no interest in this hypocritical and short-lived feast, but he is gradually infected by the lively atmosphere.

He also imitated the others, took out a wishing card of little demons from his sleeve, and carefully tied it to the branch by virtue of his height advantage. When he let go, the branch swayed and the leaves rattled.

Xu Shi was too focused, and after hanging up all the signs, Ibaraki realized that there was actually a little girl wearing a gorgeous red bathrobe and hair style staring at him eagerly beside him.

"Humanity?"

"Tall monster brother!" The little girl's black eyes burst into strange brilliance: "Please hang it up for me, okay?" She said as she raised a purple guard with a silver bell inlaid with both hands.

Looking helplessly at the human dwarf, Ibaraki Doji had no choice but to take it—there were a few leaves and flowers on it, which seemed to be the crest of a certain family.

"By the way...how did you know that I'm a monster?" Ibaraki-douji fiddled with the small bell after hanging up the guard.

"You can see it!" The little girl gestured at the top of her head: "Brother Monster has such a long horn on his head——"

Ibaraki showed an interested smile: "Short, can you see it?"

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded vigorously: "Because my family... are all super powerful onmyojis! Anyway, thank you Brother Monster!"

Ibaraki Doji's smile instantly froze on his face.

For some reason, he inexplicably had the urge to crush the little man to death.

"Look! Fireworks!" The little girl stretched out her finger to the air, and Ibaraki raised her head accordingly. It was indeed a gorgeous scene blooming in the night sky, colorful and fleeting.

When the crowd was crowded, the sky was as bright as day, reflecting two lines of tears rolling down the little girl's cheeks.Ibaraki looked at her strangely, but she raised her head and smiled reluctantly: "Sorry, this is the first time I have seen such beautiful fireworks."

"Miss Yukui! Miss Yukui!" Anxious calls came from far to near, and a maid rushed to pick up the little girl: "Please stop running around! My lord, he has been looking for you!" Said After she looked at Ibaraki vigilantly, she hugged the girl and left in a hurry.

"..." Regardless of what happened just now, the fireworks in the sky are still in full bloom like umbrella flowers.Ibaraki wanted to raise the knife so that A knife could see it more clearly.When he touched his waist, his heart suddenly sank—the waist was empty.

A knife is gone.

Ibaraki Doji bent down and looked at the river for a long time, but he didn't see the shadow of the knife, so he hurriedly turned his head and searched along the road, but still found nothing.

"Give way!" shouted the bearer carrying the ornate sedan as he passed the crowd.

When the surrounding people saw the family emblem on the sedan chair, they quickly bowed their heads and even bent over to avoid it: "It's Master Onmyoji!"

Ibaraki happened to pass by in a hurry.

Suddenly feeling a strong evil spirit outside, the silver-haired man in the sedan lifted his veil and stared at the back in a white bathrobe who hurried away, with a meaningful smile on his lips.

In this way, Ibaraki lost a knife.

Forget it, anyway, it's just a knife with no purpose.
