I was spotted by the big guy in Ping An Jing

"No... no no no no!!!"

Hitomi Kuwashima pushed Tamamo's chest, desperately trying to escape from the opponent's shackles.

horrible!terrible! ! !

Although she has been "vegetarian" for more than 100 years, it is normal to be dissatisfied.

but--

I'm still a baby! ! !

The fox in front of him was like a hill that couldn't be moved no matter what.

Yuzao laughed softly, the laughter was deep and magnetic, he grabbed Hitomi Kuwashima's hand and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Moreover, isn't it you who deliberately guided it? !

Hitomi Kuwashima was discouraged.

"Tamamo-mae, you have changed."

Turned black.

In the past, the two of them could have a [-]-[-] quarrel, but now how can they just skip the quarrel and play hooligans?

Although talking about the face of the other party, it is really... good-looking are not called hooligans!

Yuzao smiled lightly: "Who did it?"

Hitomi Sang Dao was furious: "Do you want to say it's me?!"

According to the previous development, next, Yuzao will have a big fight with her.

But now, instead of being angry, he slowly moved closer: "No..."

He murmured softly: "I asked for it."

Hitomi Kuwashima: "..."

I can't stand it anymore, Mitsuri help!I will never laugh at you and brother Yi Hei again!

Warm breath sprayed on his face, realizing what the other party wanted to do, Hitomi Kuwashima immediately turned his head away: "No!"

No kissing!

"We haven't gotten back together yet... No, I never promised to be with you at all!"

Yuzao sneered: "Do you think that this matter is up to you?"

Hitomi Kuwashima: "...?"

How can I have the final say on my own feelings.

Don't be so overbearing, can you, boss.

Seeing that the other party had a tendency to come again, Hitomi Kuwashima immediately buried his face in Tamamo's chest, and unceremoniously grabbed both sides of the other party's skirts to wrap his face.

What are you kissing!

I said that I didn't promise to get back together, and I'm not allowed to kiss!

"……Well."

Yu Zaoqian's calm and emotionless voice came from above his head, he asked, "Do you agree?"

Hitomi Kuwashima maintained this posture and shook his head.

Although she could feel that the other party's aura was suddenly cold, she still repeated: "No."

Hitomi Kuwashima could feel her body disappearing, five or six minutes was really fast.

Tamamo-mae should have noticed it too.

Maintaining this posture is also worrying that if she sees Tamamo-mae's face, she may not be able to say the next thing.

As a member of the Demon Slayer Squad, Kuwashima Hitomi thought, maybe her attitude towards feelings is negative.

This is probably the same for all of them.

Ghosts, this kind of creature is too unreasonable, living in a world where ghosts exist, and they don't know when disasters will come.

Almost all of them started to fight back against ghosts after the tragedy struck and felt the pain and despair of being separated from their loved ones.

In addition, during the battle, people around him were constantly being killed.

It may sound heartless to say, but there are too many sad things, and the emotions will gradually become numb.

This is like the body's self-protection mechanism.Otherwise, how can I bear it.

Therefore, subconsciously, she is rational, passive and somewhat negative when dealing with feelings.

"Tamamo, meeting you is the luckiest thing for me. Falling in love with you is the bravest thing I have ever done. I will never forget those times."

"But you also know that I am not from this era, and compared to yours, my life span is really too short. We...maybe really not suitable."

"I hope you can find a monster or a god..."

I also...don't want to see you so alone anymore.

"It doesn't matter if you find someone you like the most, it doesn't matter if you find a few, as long as you can be with you. Holding hands and hugs are allowed. Kiss...kissing on the cheek is also okay, but only once a week...once, right? It's a bit small, so let's do it twice, no more than twice. If you kiss, you can only do it once a month. As for going to bed, going to bed...a year..."

Not once a year! ! !

Woohoo, why does the more I talk about it, the greener my head becomes... so sad, thinking about Tamamo doing these things with other women... so sad that I want to drag Ghost Mai Tsuji to bask in the sun.

Hitomi Kuwashima's hands grasping the front of Tamamo's chest were powerless and slipped down.

Yu Zaoqian's face was so black that ink dripped out: "You better shut up."

Still say that to this day!

Hitomi Kuwashima looked up at him tearfully.Was stabbed by Yuzao's face: "Do you think I want to, I don't want to, but, but..."

She raised her hands, from fingertips to palms to wrists, slowly dissipating into spots of light.

Hitomi Kuwashima looked at his palm for a moment, then looked at Yuzao again: "!"

At that moment, he was frightened by the look of the golden pupil in front of Yuzao.

The golden pupil was reflected more colorfully by the light spots, and it seemed that there was stagnant hatred in the depths, which was stimulated and was about to spew out and drown everything.

What does Tamamo hate?

hate her?hate himself?Or...hate the way of heaven?

Hitomi Kuwashima panicked!

Rao Yuzao had the power to reach the heavens before, and if he competed with the way of heaven, the end would not be easy.

"...Okay, you don't have to look for it. Live your life obediently and don't cause trouble, you know!" She stomped her feet anxiously, taking advantage of the last few seconds before disappearing completely, "Promise me, hello!"

Yuzao looked at her fixedly for a few seconds, then suddenly turned his back to her, and said coldly.

"Where did you get the qualification to order me?"

"Then you're going to—"

Hitomi Kuwashima yelled, "I don't like you anymore!"

After saying this, she left from the Heian era.

So I didn't hear Yuzao's reply, and I couldn't see the other party's expression.

It just seemed... After hearing this sentence, Tamazamo trembled all over.

……

The breath and voice of the other person in the cave died away.

Tamamo knew she was gone.

He turned his head and looked at the place where the other party stood before.Remember that last sentence...

Yuzao's gloomy face slowly twisted, and the cypress fan in his hand was crushed.

bastard brat...

***

Hitomi Kuwashima originally thought that when she returned to the modern age, she would start to understand the world again and then slowly integrate into it, but the moment she arrived in the modern age, those memories belonging to the modern age came back.

On the contrary, there is that powerful spiritual power.

Tokyo. 21st century.

There are many tall buildings and a lot of traffic.

It was early in the morning when Hitomi Kuwashima arrived, and the city hadn't yet woken up from its deep sleep.Holding her forehead, she stood on the side of the street for a while, then slowly lowered her hand.

Along the road, she turned and walked towards the shrine in her memory.There is the present day, the shrine where she lives.

The shrine is very large and magnificent.

Surrounded by greenery.The mist in the morning has not dissipated, and there is a kind of hazy beauty.

Hitomi Kuwashima stepped in, and a priestess who was arranging ema by the shelf turned around: "I'm sorry, customer, we haven't yet..."

The moment she saw Hitomi Kuwashima, the ema she was holding fell to the ground and covered her mouth in surprise.

Hitomi Sangshima said calmly, "Hua Zhi."

"Tongtong...you're back," Huazhi said pleasantly, "Qingya! Qingya! Tongtong is back!"

"Understood." Another Miko walked out of the room impatiently.

But the suddenly relieved look in her eyes revealed her true thoughts.

Hitomi Kuwashima is the most famous priestess in this shrine, and there are two apprentice priestesses under him, Hua Zhi and Qing Mei.

She didn't realize it before, but now she realizes that they are reincarnations...

"It's great that Tongtong is back," Huazhi held Sang Daotong's hand, and said softly with tears welling up, "You suddenly disappeared for more than three months, we are really worried. "

Qing Ya: "I've said it all, this guy will be fine, what are you worrying about?"

The only ones who can compete with Hitomi Kuwashima's spiritual power are Tenshin and Tamamomae.

three months?

The years she spent in Heianjing and Taisho were only three months here.

Hitomi Kuwashima collected himself and smiled: "I have troubled you these days."

She checked the divine affairs the two of them had done, and felt relieved.

It is already at the level of being able to stand alone.

Noticing that Hitomi Sangshima was packing up her things, Hua Zhi asked worriedly, "Where are you going? When will you be back?"

Why did you just come back and have to go back.

Hitomi Kuwashima arranges her clothes.The top is as white as snow, and the lower body skirt and trousers are wine red, and the waist belt is tightened, making the waist appear more slender.In addition, it is the talisman paper she often uses, and... the sun wheel knife.

Hitomi Kuwashima was born with extremely strong spiritual power. She lived in the shrine since she was a child. Both of her parents belonged to the shrine, and they left not long ago.

Growing up in the modern age for more than ten years was just like the identity of a witch.

Clean and bland.

Modern life is the same. It is not like fighting evil spirits in Taisho, nor is it like fighting with ghosts and ghosts in Heianjing.

Perhaps because of this, she echoed Ubuyashiki Amane at that time.

Want to experience a different life.

There is some feeling for modern times, but it doesn't seem to be that strong.

There is nothing special to commemorate.

And although there are monsters here, they do not interfere with humans.And no cannibals.

In contrast, Dazheng needs her more.

Hitomi Kuwashima held the eight-handled sabers and put them together with the talisman paper.

"Go see an acquaintance."

Hitomi Kuwashima replied, "As for coming back... I don't know when, maybe I won't come back."

She patted Hua Zhi's face, "Why are you showing that expression?" Then she looked at Qing Ya standing at the door, "During this time, you have done a good job. I believe that even without me, you will protect this place. shrine."

Hitomi Kuwashima tilted his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry for being so irresponsible."

Qing Ya looked at her fixedly: "Is it something that must be done?"

Hitomi Kuwashima nodded.

Originally thought that compared to Huazhi, Qingya was more difficult to talk, but the other party just remained silent for a moment, then turned his head to the side: "Then... as you please."

On the way to Mikage Shrine, Hitomi Kuwashima thought about Aomei's expression.

Perhaps the experience of turning into a ghost in Ping An Jing and recovering in her previous life had subconsciously affected her.

After the return of spiritual power, the ability to sense gods and monsters has been greatly enhanced.

After thousands of years, Mikage Shrine still exists with a deep foundation.Mr. Mikage has not spread, and the shrine is not big, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

Mr. Mikage should be a very powerful land god now.I don’t know if I’m still afraid of dogs?

...isn't there?

Standing under the torii gate, I didn't feel Mikage's aura, but there was another faint but similar spiritual power.

... is a god, but mainly a man ... a man-god?

"I'm sorry Bawei, it's too late! I'm going to be late!"

The door of the room was suddenly opened, and a girl who looked like a high school student rushed out with a schoolbag.

"Wait, Nana, box lunch!"

A short-haired silver fox chased him out with a box of four or five layers of lunch, but was pushed back by a girl named Nanasheng: "Ba Wei, don't come out!"

There are outsiders here!

She looked in the direction of Hitomi Kuwashima.

Hitomi Kuwashima nodded slightly.

"She's a witch, so it doesn't matter if she sees youkai."

The fox named Bawei exudes an unpleasant aura all over his body, and his irritable appearance is very similar to that of Tamazamoe.

Before Tamamo...

Hitomi Kuwashima lowered his eyes slightly, hiding his expression in the bottom of his eyes.

Ba Wei turned to Nanasheng, his eyes sparkled: "Look! Nanasheng, this is a luxurious bento specially made for you—"

"I'm sorry, I'm really going to be one hour late, so I'll see you later!"

Nanasheng pulled out one of the layers with lightning speed and ran away.

Bawei was still in the posture of introducing the bento: "..."

Here's a fox who lost his dream.

It seems that Mr. Mikage is still not good at dealing with dogs, so he replaced it with a fox.

The shrine was transferred to this girl, for what?

While Hitomi Sang Dao was thinking, Bawei resumed his appearance as a divine envoy, walked over with his sleeves folded, and asked plainly, "Why is the witch here?"

pray?Get married? ... or finding fault?

"I'm here to find—"

Before the words were finished, a butterfly flew past the two of them.

"!" Sang Daotong's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded to Ba Wei, "Excuse me." Then he ran away with the butterfly.

Ba Wei tilted his head: "...?"

After following Butterfly and running out of the shrine for a certain distance, Hitomi Kuwashima finally saw a familiar figure behind the tree: "Mr. Mikage."

At that moment, I suddenly felt a little melancholy: "Long time no see."

Perhaps only gods can exist across thousands of years.

The butterfly landed on his fingertips, and the man with glasses smiled gently, "Long time no see, Tongtong."

"It seems that you have remembered everything?"

"Pretty much. But you know, there's something unresolved."

"Have you made up your mind, or are you going?"

Hitomi Kuwashima nodded.

"Please also tell me where another incense burner of time delay is located in this world."

There are two censers of time delay in this world, one of which was brought to Dazheng by her.Sister Tianyin didn't return it to her when she left, maybe she just wanted her to stop getting involved in danger.

Mikage hesitated for a moment: "Um..."

Hitomi Sangshima knew that this god was going to fool people again.

"If you don't tell me, I'll tell Bawei about you."

She could see that Mr. Mikage seemed to be deliberately avoiding Bawei for some purpose.

Being a god but leaving her shrine alone, I'm sorry...ah, she doesn't seem to be qualified to say that.

"Don't, Hitomi," Yuying said, "I know, I can tell you. But before that, I hope you can do one thing for me."

Hitomi Kuwashima: "You speak first."

Mikage took out a note: "This is the address of a monster festival in the countryside tomorrow night. I hope you can help me keep an eye on it so that nothing bad happens."

He smiled: "After all, Tongtong is a very strong witch now... maybe I can have a good experience when I go there."

"……All right."

Hitomi Kuwashima put away the note, "Tomorrow night's vigil, right? Remember to tell me the location of the time-delay incense burner when it's over."

"it is good."

***

In summer, humans hold summer festivals at night, wear yukata to enjoy fireworks, and eat various delicacies.

Mikage refers to the summer festival that belongs exclusively to youkai.

It starts at eight o'clock in the evening.

The content of the Yokai Summer Festival is similar to that of humans, but the atmosphere is different.

The mountains and plains are covered with dark blue flames, and red paper lanterns are connected in strings.Takoyaki, sugar apples, stalls full of masks and windmills, small pools for fishing goldfish... abound.

The youkai are all humanoid, wearing bathrobes.Judging from the appearance alone, it is difficult to tell whether it is a human or a demon.

The festival was lively and peaceful, and nothing happened until the fireworks were set off and the bonfire was lit.

...doesn't look like anything bad is going to happen.

What did Mikage-sama ask her to do?relax?

Hitomi Kuwashima held the fish tank with the small goldfish he had caught, and followed behind a man and a woman not too far away.

They are the ones who are a little weird about the whole festival.Everyone was watching the bonfire, but they walked further and further away, and finally came to the lotus pond.

Couple?

But the two did not have physical contact, but connected their hands together with a white cloth, as if they wanted to replace holding hands.

For the sake of the privacy of the young couple, and for various reasons such as not wanting to eat dog food, Hitomi Kuwashima kept a distance and could not hear their conversation.

Girls are pure human beings.

But the boy with the mask, the body...is weird.

He is human, but the human body is dead.

To be able to live until now, it is all maintained by sorcery, like a ghost, and its body is extremely fragile.

"..." Hitomi Kuwashima frowned.

The two of them stopped without knowing what to say.

The boy put the mask on the girl's face, and kissed her face through the mask.

After walking for a while, the two children chased and ran past the boy, and the boy behind him staggered.

"Dangerous." The boy stretched out his hand and supported him.

"Thank you!" the boy thanked and ran away.

At this time, a strange thing happened to the boy——

He touched the boy's hand, starting from the fingertips, which turned into light spots and dissipated.

what……

Hitomi Kuwashima, who was hiding in the dark, was also stunned.

Is it... a body that dissipates when touched by a human being?

No wonder I didn't hold hands with girls.

"silver……"

Realizing that the boy was about to disappear, the girl froze.

"Come on, Firefly," in the blue starlight, the boy suddenly opened his arms and smiled with relief, "I can finally meet you."

The girl jumps over——

In the once-in-a-lifetime hug, the boy's body completely dissipated.

The girl hugged the yukata left behind and cried sadly.

"I like you."

"me too."

……

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, the girl, Hotaru Takegawa raised her head.

The person who came was a girl wearing a priestess costume with a sword hanging from her waist, and the other party silently reached out to her.

With the support of Hitomi Kuwashima, Hotaru Takekawa stood up.

During the comfort and chat, Hitomi Sangshima learned their story.

Takegawa Hotaru met the boy Yin when she was six years old.She lost her way in this forest and was rescued by a boy.After that, every summer, Firefly would come here to meet each other, and as they got older, feelings arose secretly.

But Yin was an orphan who was abandoned on the mountain when he was a child. He should have died. The mountain god took pity on him and let the magic maintain his body.This body is extremely weak and will disappear when touched by humans.

The two like each other, but they can never touch each other.

Warm hugs, holding hands, and touching between lovers are a luxury for them.

until just now...

"Actually, I plan to work here after graduation," Takekawa Hotaru said, "In this way, I can see Yin more, and we will always be together no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter..."

"why?"

Hitomi Kuwashima was puzzled: "You are human, he is...neither a demon nor a human, in short, you are not of the same race, and you can't touch each other...Why..."

Why continue such a painful relationship.

"you are right."

Feeling as sad as falling a huge boulder, Zhuchuan Ying smiled slightly when mentioning this.

"But the answer is simple. I like silver, and silver should be in the same mood."

"One day time will separate us, but even so, until that moment, I want to be with Hotaru forever."

"As long as we can be together all the time in the days of being with each other, that is a very good thing."

Hitomi Kuwashima: "..."

She suddenly felt stupid.

So silly.

Think so much about what to do.

If my own thoughts were as gentle and positive as Hotaru, would the ending with Yuzao be changed?

She took a deep breath and calmed down.

"As a return gift for you to solve my doubts..."

Hotaru Takekawa saw the witch take out the small fish tank.The fish had been dumped into the lotus pond, and when she realized what was inside, Hotaru Takekawa was astonished and ecstatic, with tears streaming down her face.

There are clusters of cyan light spots in the fish tank.

——That is the spirit body of Silver.

"After a year or two of cultivation, he will be able to return to your side," Hitomi Sang Dao put the fish tank in her palm, "Protect it well."

"And..." Hitomi Kuwashima smiled slightly, "This time it's a body that can be touched at will."

"..." Hotaru Zhuchuan hugged the fish tank tightly in her arms, as if holding the most precious treasure, tears streaming down her face.

"Thank you... thank you..."

After Hotaru Takekawa left, Hitomi Kuwashima sat by the lotus pond for a while.

Hey, Tamamo-mae, I'm doing alright.

People are really fickle, and they love to dig into the dead end, and sometimes it takes an instant to change their minds.

After seeing what happened to Hotaru and Gin, now I also want to try to believe...the relationship between humans and youkai.

Really, compared to Hotaru and the others, we are much luckier and can touch them at will.

"1000 years..." Hitomi Kuwashima looked at his palm and murmured.

1000 years have passed between them.

Is it more painful for Yingying and others not to be able to touch, or for us to be separated by thousands of years.

Hey, Tamamo-mae, what are you doing now?

If I could think about it earlier, maybe I would have spent those days in Heianjing with you with a more cherished attitude.

I obviously also want... to be with you forever.

……

"Huh~ I don't want to."

Hitomi Kuwashima patted his face, picked up his sword and stood up.

The guardianship of the festival is not over yet.

What Mr. Mikage wants her to read is the story of Hotaru and the others?

After the work is done, ask Mr. Mikage where the incense burner of Shiyan is, and then use it to return to Taisho, and together with everyone, we will eliminate Onimai Tsuji Mumi...

In the dark night, Hitomi Sang Dao was thinking ecstatically as he walked, and when he passed by someone, Hirindao was caught off guard by a strong pull.

Hitomi Kuwashima: "!"

She subconsciously grabbed the Sun Wheel Knife, and the opponent was so powerful that he pulled her directly into his arms.

Who?

The light was too dim, and the other party was still wearing a fox mask, so he couldn't see clearly.

"found it."

"My favorite is here."

Hitomi Kuwashima: "?"

what……

The man who hugged her leaned down and whispered in her ear.After hearing that sentence, Hitomi Kuwashima's breath was stagnant, and his heart beat wildly uncontrollably.

man said:

"I've been waiting for you... for 1000 years."

The author has something to say: Yuzao wanted to make trouble...but was threatened by Tongtong.

So I waited obediently for 1000 years.

The angry big fox wagged its tail irritably: How many years have passed...Damn it, is it only 500 years!
