The correct way to wish for the Holy Grail of Conan

The Marsh Fish Demon who was questioned certainly sensed the bloody demonic aura emanating from this extremely delicate girl, which was completely different from her harmless appearance, and immediately froze and stammered back: "No! No, no, you don't need money. If you want, the little demon can give it to you, and I will give you one."

With that said, the marsh fish demon carefully handed a most exquisitely crafted lantern to Zhenshi.

There are not many people who dare to face Dajiangshan Ghost King Jiu Tun Tongzi's evil spirit. If it weren't for Jiu Tun Tongzi just smearing a line of demon blood on Zhenshi's body as a mark of evil spirit, the marsh fish demon might have been scared away.

"Really? Thank you." Zhenshi did not refuse, but took the lantern.

The demon world respects the strong, and the strong are the ones who have the most say.

If a strong monster comes to a weak monster's shop, the little monster will not take money.

This is their respect for the big monster and the strong.

Makoto, who never thought he was weak, accepted the lantern of the marsh fish demon without any guilt, bearing the powerful demonic aura that belonged to Shuten-douji.

"Really, Miss Zhenshi!"

Just as he was holding the lantern and was about to put it off, Zhenshi heard a surprised voice next to him.

She tilted her head and saw a white cloth tied to her face, on which was written an acquaintance with demon patterns - Natsume Takashi.

"Ah! Natsume!" Meeting an acquaintance here, Masei's eyes lit up instantly.

Seeing that Zhenshi didn't have a little disguise, Natsume Takashi nervously scanned the surrounding monsters, walked to Zhenshi and whispered: "Miss Zhenshi, why didn't you put on some disguise? There are all monsters around here! If they find out, they will die!"

Zhenshi didn't care at all, "It doesn't matter to me, even if they are discovered, they can't touch me. Besides, I should also be considered a half-demon."

Natsume Takashi was taken aback, and suddenly remembered the knowledge he had frantically tutored after he went back that day.

Speaking of which, Miss Zhenshi and the mother of Mr. Seimei seem to be a monster?

But this is a miscellaneous note in the unofficial history, and Natsume Takashi doesn't know whether it is true or not.

Now that Shinse personally admits it, Natsume Takashi suddenly feels that he knows a big secret.

"So... Speaking of which, why is Miss Masei here?" Natsume Takashi asked puzzled.

Mentioning this, Masato's interest in setting off lanterns faded a bit, Natsume Takashi saw the sadness and sadness on his face.

He quickly remedied: "Sorry, I shouldn't ask..."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I came out to relax." Zhenshi bit his lip with his white teeth, and let out another breath, "Hey, Natsume, do you want to put a lantern?"

"Eh? Is it possible?" Natsume Takashi was stunned, Masashi changed the topic too quickly, he didn't keep up with Masato's thinking.

Originally, he wanted to refuse, but...

He looked around, it's not yet time for the event to start, and it's rare to meet...friends here.

The two words in his mind burned his heart, and his eyes trembled.

Yes... He and Ms. Masei are already friends.

Just thinking about it, he heard Zhenshi's sweet voice: "Of course, we are friends."

Natsume Takashi pursed his lips, and watched Shinse put the lantern in her hand into his.

"Wait, I'll ask for another one!"

After finishing speaking, she ran to the small shop of the marsh fish demon, and the other party shivered and gave Zhenshi another one.

Seeing the marsh fish demon handing another lantern to Zhenshi with a face of going to death, the corners of Natsume Takashi's mouth rose slightly.

"I'm back, Natsume, let's put up the lantern!" Shinse held the new lantern and replaced it with one hand, while the other hand lightly tapped the wick, and a cluster of golden spiritual fire ignited the wick .

"It's amazing." Natsume Takashi was amazed again and again, "Is this an Onmyoji?"

"No, this is magic. Onmyoji can't ignite fire out of thin air, it can only summon pure fire." Zhense stretched out his hand, and helped Natsume Takashi to light the lantern in his hand, then squatted down, and carefully set the lantern Put it in the water and watch the lanterns burning with golden spiritual fire gradually merge into other lanterns burning with orange-red flames, and become a member of the huge lantern team, standing on the shore, clasping hands and holding them in front of the collarbone , closed his eyes for a while.

Natsume Takashi also imitated Zhenshi's appearance and put the lantern into the water, but he didn't make a wish. Instead, he waited for Zhenshi to make a wish and opened his eyes before asking, "Does Miss Zhenshi also believe in making wishes?"

"Believe it." Speaking of making a wish, Zhenshi looked at Natsume Takashi, and countless tiny streamers suddenly merged into his azure blue eyes, as if carrying the sea of ​​stars, "I originally existed for it. But now there are more What I care about. However, if you make a wish to me, it might come true~"

"Really?" Natsume Takashi unnaturally avoided Masato's gaze and replied.

"Yeah~ how about it, do you want to make a wish to me, Natsume?" Shinse looked at him with a smile on his eyes.

Natsume Takashi's gaze drifted away, and he didn't dare to meet Makoto, "Well... if I have a wish, it must be to God, right?"

Zhenshi did not expect this answer: "Why? I will be very spiritual~"

Natsume Takashi shook his head with a smile, "It's not a question of whether it works or not. To me, making a wish is just a kind of beautiful sustenance. When I have a wish, I will occasionally tell the gods and adults, and then start towards me. The desire to move forward, this is the reality."

Zhenshi was stunned.

"Like this time, I will appear here because I want to help a monster friend of mine fulfill her wish." Takashi Natsume spread his hands, looking at his calloused palms, said helplessly : "I think this is the only thing I can do for my friends."

"..." Zhense stared at Natsume Takashi for a while, the smile on his face faded, and the monsters around him still left a space around them in unison.

Maybe it's because this is a world of monsters, and the expression of the real world is also tainted with a sense of ethereal unreality, "Your attitude reminds me of a person, no, a king. To be honest, 'we' are not I like him, but I have to admit his domineering and noble personality."

The same disdain to make a wish, but choose to achieve it by yourself.

"Eh? Then, Miss Masei hates me?" Takashi Natsume's focus was obviously off, but it was also on purpose.

Zhenshi shook his head: "The previous 'I' may hate people like you who want to stubbornly stick to your will to fulfill your wishes, but I am standing here, and I don't hate gentle people. And you are still me My friend, why should I hate you?"

"Hmm..." Natsume Takashi was a little dizzy, but he still roughly understood what Masei meant, "Although I don't quite understand what you said, Miss Masei, but it's great that you don't hate me and still treat me as a friend."
