Vientiane Senro

Muhua is different from other monsters.She is well aware of this, she spends very little time with her god, and even the lantern fire is more "close" than she and Senshen-sama, it is really difficult for her to confirm the heart of the god How do you think about yourself.

When Muhua met Ji Qiu again, unlike Otengu, it was a sunny morning.The fog in the early morning has dissipated completely with the warming of the sun, and the drifting clouds in the sky have disappeared. When pedestrians look up, they will only be burned by the too strong light. It is obvious that yesterday was just a The comfortable weather turned from cloudy to sunny, and today has opened such a warm and sunny climate, and Muhua's calm state of mind that has been maintained all the time can't help feeling a little anxious.

The landscape tree by the street stood weakly on one side, and the tram slowly passed by in front of her. She changed into the light purple water-dry attire again, without the veiled cap, and her long hair the color of crow feathers. In the back of her head, she holds a red umbrella-shaped long sword in her right hand. Some young people passing by cast their surprised eyes on her, which is mixed with curiosity and weird meaning, just like the girl around her. The novelty psychology when passing by a cosplay dresser.

Muhua ignored them, although she had already got the destination of this trip from Lanternhuo, but after all, she had been away for thousands of years... Ah, no!When I was in the shrine last time, I even threw my sword at the adults!

Muhua remembered the dispute between the two parties. At that time, she actually sensed the specialness of that young man. She didn't put her feelings on hold, but she didn't think of the adult immediately. Go, after all, she is not as hot as a lantern. The other party probably understood the true meaning of "Morikawa Hisashi" at that time, so its performance is so abrupt, and the reversal is so sudden.Later, I would think of all this because of my doubts about the whereabouts of Lantern Fire.

Mu Hua didn't think of any more, because the anomaly had already arrived.

A cold wind came from nowhere, blowing up her hair and slapping her face.Muhua raised her eyes, and she felt the cold and frosty evil spirit, which came towards her face without any concealment, just like its master, with a biting aura.

Mu Hua followed her gaze, and she saw a figure standing above her, wearing a light blue kimono and high-heeled clogs on her feet, her long hair fluttering in the wind, under the sunlight, The skin on the face is as clear and white as the first snow.

Snow Maiden.

Muhua understood her identity almost subconsciously.

Xue Nu looked down indifferently, and her voice sounded like her own, cool and calm: "Come with me."

Mu Hua's hand holding the Umbrella Sword tightened, but soon, she jumped up and followed closely behind Xue Nu, jumping quickly between buildings, and after a while, she came to another new building. in the area.

Her last footsteps stopped in front of a familiar building, which was the newly built Shrine of the Mori God in Kyoto City.On the day when this shrine was completed, she was also invited by Yamazaki Nazuka from the forest. She still remembers the thin river flowing through the forest, which circled along the edge of the outer palace of the shrine. It flows down; the inside of the shrine is some other palaces, which are separated by the walls of "Yuyuan". Designers from all over the world have been hired, including the repairers of buildings such as "Ise Jingu Shrine" and "Inari Taisha Shrine", as well as architects from other famous places, so he can build this shrine of Mori God like this Majestic atmosphere.

Although he knew all the arrangements long ago, it was the first time that Ji Qiu came to his shrine in person.He is standing in the corridor of the main hall of the oldest shrine like "Taisha-zukuri". The roof is a cut wife roof made of cypress bark. Ahead, on the steps going up, a young man with black hair and black eyes was walking in the direction of Ji Qiu. His posture was straight, and the temperament accumulated on his body was calm and solemn, which did not match his youthful appearance. .

Mu Hua recognized that this was a "black fox" who was taken away by the lantern fire. He left the Mori God Association, and now it seems that he went to fulfill the task that the god personally enacted for him.

Only after that did Muhua dare to cast her eyes on Ji Qiu who was leaning on the fence. She saw the other person's eyes narrowed slightly, and the light was jumping on his eyelashes, as if she felt Muhua's gaze, and he turned his head. , with a comfortable smile on his lips.

It is not the same as the tall, thin and pale figure in Mu Hua's memory. He is a little shorter, and his skin is radiant and radiant, giving people a sense of youth and freedom. His hands are resting on the fence, The slender fingers hang down relaxedly, as if they are resting leisurely, and also seem to be visiting casually.But Muhua couldn't take her eyes away from him. The other party was in this shrine, as if it was embedded in the very center of the shrine, and all the light would surround him with his breath. This building seems to come alive, endowed with an indescribable vitality.

Muhua really felt the passage of time, and she remembered how she was in the past. The little girl who hadn't opened her eyes fearlessly circled around the man, and her voice faintly rang in Muhua's ears: "Hey, where are you from?"

The gray wild child kept asking, "What's your name? Where are you going?"

She was full of innate curiosity about him, and this curiosity was mixed with heartfelt gratitude, and after thousands of years, it became an obsession.

She could no longer notice the black fox waiting behind Ji Qiu, Xue Nu was also watching them quietly from the other side, Mu Hua looked straight at Ji Qiu, her footsteps stopped before the steps, and finally, she Putting the umbrella sword in her hand into the ground, she saluted solemnly and solemnly, which was a more complicated and harsh salute to God than the obedience of the big tengu.

"See you, Your Majesty the God of the Forest."

She collected all her feelings and returned to the coldness before.Her waiting is a kind of quiet waiting.Different from the Yuki onna and Ootengu who have traveled all over the world, she takes care of the small and repaired forest shrine for the gods in her heart, endures the endless loneliness and loneliness, and lives herself into the dream she dreamed of at the beginning. She can hold back until the lantern fire brings the permission of the gods. She is the most loyal samurai who protects the gods of the forest with the will of the gods as her will.

No matter who it is, if they offend, they will be greeted by the sharpest feathered sword of this guardian, and among them, she herself is no exception.

Ji Qiu's eyes can see through the heart of the young bird in front of him. Among all the believers of the Sen God, Mu Hua is the closest believer to the divine God.The meeting at the beginning was just by chance, he didn't intend to save that small village, he made a move later, it was the swamp monster that slammed into the door by itself, blocking his way to Netherworld.He didn't hide this from the beginning, and he believed that Mu Hua should have known about this a long time ago...

But no matter what, her loyalty is a fact; it is also a fact that the shrine of Mori God she guarded made a contribution when he was about to completely sink into the river of time.Ji Qiu's thoughts turned slightly, he stared at the bird monster in front of him, and with a thought, the environment around him changed accordingly.

The sun was still shining, but not as intense as before.Muhua propped on the ground under the palms began to become wet and soft. It was a new growth of green and fluffy grass. The hall under Ji Qiu also disappeared. Looking around, here is a vast grassland. As the wind blows, the green grass turns into waves.

Ji Qiu stepped on the sea of ​​"waves", he was still in the same attire as before, his clothes rattled under the blowing of the strong wind, behind him, the snow girl and the black fox had never appeared, Muhua was stunned for a moment, but she quickly Then I realized that the change in the surrounding environment was caused by Senshen-sama.

"This is another realm separated from the present world." Ji Qiu tilted his head, and his eyes looked at the palace complex in the distance: "The field of gods is printed on the basis of the Mori God Shrine. A personal domain that every god would have..."

Muhua was in a daze and heard the next words of Lord Shenming: "I will give you the right to enter and exit this place freely, now, do you want to go there with me to have a look?"

"...Yes." It took Muhua a moment to react. She raised her head and stretched out her hand excitedly, as if the shadow of the little girl from thousands of years ago reappeared on her body. Her eyes were unprecedented. Bright, follow her hope and move forward without hesitation.

"Hey, where are you going?" The immature voice seemed to echo in my ears.

"If I get lost, I can help guide the way!" The little Muhua looked up at the figure holding her palm in front of her, and before the other person turned her head to the side, she secretly showed a very satisfied smile.

"My name is 'Wooden Flower'. It means the first flower in early spring."

"So... did you like it?"
