In Heather's view, some unknown god must have cast absurd but wonderful and interesting spells on her night, making her feel that maybe an ordinary person's life in just a few hours. God who cannot meet opens either.

I wanted to go to the prom, but I met a powerful "former enemy" who could easily hurt her. After I escaped in a hurry, I finally met the prince miraculously on the school's rooftop.

But this is just the beginning of this wonderful night. The prince who came with the glass slipper took her hand and asked to dance with her. They danced in the silent darkness and embraced warmly under the moonlight like water. Kiss—it was a more beautiful scene than imagined, so unreal that it made people feel like falling into a dream.

But this dream was broken after all, by an unexpected phone call, a request from her father that must be obeyed.

Atobe's proposal was full of subtle meanings, but Heather just smiled after all, but did not reject the boy's kindness.

So, in just two months, Heather went to the domineering mansion of the Atobe family for the third time.

In fact, Heather didn't think that Atobe really had some logical and wonderful ideas, even though they had just spent a seemingly wasted time alone, but obviously, now is not a good opportunity.If you look at it from a perspective of being out of the world, Heather really doesn't think that Atobe will arrange some "welfare" in such an embarrassing situation with a short time.

With that guy's obsessive-compulsive pursuit of perfection, if he doesn't make certain things look like they can be remembered, recalled, and sighed forever... he will definitely be upset.

Two hours after Heather arrived at Atobe's house, she took Atobe's private car to the station again.It's just that after Atobe personally helped her buy the ticket, sent her on the train, and pretended to be careless and asked her to send a message report after arriving at the destination, Heather waved goodbye to Atobe 3 minutes later, and the train pulled out of the station The first moment after that, I got up and went to the connection between the carriage and the carriage.

After confirming that there was no one around and no one would notice her, Heather immediately entered the "Central Area" and read out the instructions according to Charon's previous instructions. Sure enough, after a while, she saw a familiar figure.

The mutant eagle that can imitate the master's form by relying on potion and become the master's "righteous person"-Sike.

Charon said on the phone before that he wanted Heather to "go to the shrine of the House of Byodoin as soon as possible." The "as soon as possible" here probably does not refer to the means of transportation that normal humans would use.Heather, who wanted to categorically refuse—after all, she had already exercised enough in the "Central Area" today—finally succumbed to Charon's "prostitution//power".However, if Saike took her there, the amount of exercise would be much lower than that of her controlling the "pet" alone.

Then, amidst the whistling wind, she arrived smoothly and quickly at the Byodo-in family...an ancient shrine whose architectural value is probably even higher than the mansion of the Atobe family.

But the adventure of this night has not yet reached the end.

There's no worse time for a "serious" conversation than midnight.

Almost as soon as they met, before the normal activities of father and daughter telling each other their hearts, Heather rushed forward angrily and wanted to give her unreliable father a heavy blow— — But this kind of unharmonious and beautiful meeting ceremony did not produce any bad consequences.Charon parried Heather's flying kick easily, and didn't even forget to add a sentence with a smile on his face, "Not bad, your level hasn't regressed~"

And Byodoin Phoenix, who had been watching by the side, yawned big and didn't give a comment.

This time, Charon is of course the genuine one. He is wearing a casual suit with a high-quality material but a simple and casual look.The clothes fit well, and it further highlighted his good figure and long legs that were enviable by women.His short light brown hair is arranged in a fashionable style suitable for his age, and there is a harmless and gentle smile in his blue eyes behind the rimless glasses - if you meet such a man on the street, you will be surprised. Some people would guess that this calm and elegant man might be an executive of a large company.

But in fact, what this man has dealt with for half his life is not paper and pen documents, but weapons, blood... and all kinds of monsters that shouldn't exist in this world.

"This is not the right way to say hello to my father whom I haven't seen for a long time." After watching his daughter use a side slip to stabilize her body during the process of retreating, Charon commented without changing his face.Heather's response was to continue glaring at him. After a few seconds of burning eyes, Heather suddenly turned around to look at Byodoin, and then spoke leisurely with a reasonable attitude:

"Give me something refreshing to drink—you don't need to make tea with cinnamon, but a cup of coffee."

Osmanthus is a family shikigami currently served by the Phoenix of Byodoin Temple. It is said that the real body is a certain osmanthus tree in the backyard of the shrine, and it is "August Mountain Osmanthus, best for cooking tea".Heather had heard of the exquisite skills of the shikigami of Byodoin in the tea ceremony when she was young, but at this moment, every cell in the body is screaming "I want to sleep" in the middle of the night, Sipping a cup of tea is far less refreshing than pouring a large cup of coffee.

"It doesn't matter if you make Gui come here...but are you trying to make me?" The man with blond hair who looked rebellious snorted arrogantly, but he turned and walked towards the other end of the corridor. Next sentence "see you in the reception room".

At this moment, only the father and daughter surnamed Livia were left in the corridor of the Byodoin Shrine. The man dressed like a dog stepped forward and put his daughter on the shoulder, smiling meaningfully.

"I heard that you have had a very fulfilling life in these two months."

After hearing this, Heather just raised her eyebrows and looked at her unreliable father with disgust on her face.

"Although it's not a good thing to force my cousin to be a bit abnormal, but, considering your position with Rune, I can only say one thing - well done." Charon ignored Heather's disgusted look , and continued to speak boldly, no matter how hard it sounds like what a father could say, "And you brought back 'Yan', really gratifying."

"Are you ashamed to say that you are happy and congratulatory?" Heather simply raised her eyebrows this time, and directly turned on the talk mode.

"You are the only one who can get Homura back from that Kyogoku guy, but if you want to get it back... you'll always have to bleed."

"Hey, don't make it so easy, okay! Then tonight about Kyogoku Masaichi, could it be that you can take it lightly?!"

"To be honest, in terms of harm to your personal safety, I am more worried about Kyogoku Runa than Kyogoku Shoichi. Believe me, Kyogoku Shoichi will not hurt you, no matter how big he shows He will not harm Kyogoku Ling's daughter even if he is malicious."

When he said these words, a very strange expression suddenly appeared on Charon's face. He seemed to have a look of color and disdain, but this complicated psychological change was not reflected in his face. His voice was naturally not noticed by his daughter.When Heather looked up at him with some doubts, his expression returned to the original calm.

This is the second time Heather has heard someone say this sentence. If Kyogoku Masaichi himself said this sentence, there might be a hint of deceit, but if this sentence was said by her father... …

"Why?" The girl asked involuntarily, her speech slowed down due to doubts.

"You will know, but... not now." Charon said, but suddenly looked up to the end of the corridor. After a moment of shock, Heather also followed his movements, and in the dim light appeared a The faint figure was accompanied by a warm aura like a flame.

It is "flame".

"He was your mother's first shikigami, and he was also the first member of the Kyogoku family I knew—even earlier than I knew your mother." Charon said with a bit of nostalgia in his tone, "So, He can be your first shikigami...I'm very happy, I think...Aya will be even happier."

The sudden tender feeling made Heather startled involuntarily, she only felt a warm sour feeling slowly rising from the bottom of her heart in this moment.While she was still indulging in this rare and wonderful feeling and couldn't extricate herself, Homura had already quietly walked in front of the two of them.

"The lotus will bloom in a few hours, Mrs. Byodoin please go there as soon as possible."

--lotus? !

Deliberately ignoring the disbelief on her daughter's face, Charon waved his hand as usual:

"Okay, let's go together."

Heather, who didn't know the truth at all, looked confused and could only be passively led by Charon to the back of the shrine.When the two were brought to the door of a small reception room by "Homura", Heather noticed that not only Byodoin was sitting on the tatami mat with a lazy face, but also another woman who looked very elegant and beautiful.

She looked much younger than her actual age, her complexion was white and delicate, her eyebrows were picturesque and exquisite, and she had a face that was remarkably similar to Byodoin Phoenix—she was indeed the mother of Byodoin Phoenix.

When Heather was a child, she often saw Mrs. Byodoin. After all, the latter had a close personal relationship with her mother, Kyogoku Aya. Both of them came from the family of Onmyoji. No matter how you look at it, you can use it as a "good girlfriend" .When Aya Kyogoku was seriously ill, Mrs. Byodoin also came to visit many times, but Heather only contacted her son once or twice after returning to Japan, and did not meet her formally.

"Long time no see. Shi Nan, you really look so pretty~"

Even if Mrs. Byodoin still called out Heather's previous name, but her smile was gentle and her tone was soft, the girl really couldn't think of any indignation at this moment.After seeing a cup of coffee on the seat opposite the Byodoin Temple, Heather raised her eyebrows, and then sat straight on the empty seat before the cup of coffee.

"Thank you for your compliment. I'm very sorry for not coming to visit before." Heather apologized to Mrs. Byodoin immediately after sitting down.

"Don't worry about such a small matter," the middle-aged woman in kimono opposite still smiled gently, "I'm also very embarrassed to call you here overnight in such a hurry."

"Nothing, but—" Heather couldn't help asking after several hesitations, "Before Yan said that the lotus was about to bloom...does this have anything to do with my coming here today?"

"Of course it is, but I insist on telling you the reason myself."

"Your mother planted this lotus plant a few years ago. This is not a 'planting' in the general sense. Along with the seeds being sown, there is also part of your mother's ability."

"As far as I know, in the past, what you learned was the skills of the demon hunter that Charon mastered, and A Ling didn't teach you much knowledge about yin and yang. So she came to me a few years ago, She wants to prepare a gift for you, the last gift."

"I have heard of everything Kyogoku Masaichi has done. I know that your choice of the surname Livia was approved by your parents, but what happened before..." Mrs. Byodoin said When I was here, I suddenly glanced at Charon opposite her, with a slight dissatisfaction in my expression, "If you hadn't been overseas for the past few years, it wouldn't have happened at all."

"I know Masaichi Kyogoku very well, just like I know your mother. If you think you can justifiably escape what happened in the family by choosing another way of life, it will only make him feel that you are too weak to Easily defeated and manipulated."

"I—" Hearing this, Heather finally couldn't hold back her voice, but Charon beside her immediately stretched out her hand, signaling her not to speak for now.

"Since you have inherited your mother's shikigami, it is impossible to avoid Kyogoku Masaichi as far away as in the past. You have your blood, and you also have your responsibilities..." Mrs. Byodoin said at this time Suddenly narrowing her eyes slightly, "When your mother left this gift for you, she also left the only request for you."

"If you want to accept this ability, you must go to the 'God's Choice Ceremony' that the Kyogoku family will soon conduct, and, believe me—"

"It will do you no harm."
