[Onmyoji] Deep Sea Girl

"I have remembered Lord Qionglang's arrangement, thank you for telling me." Abe Seimei hurriedly regained his composure, tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his face, and sent the scholar out of the guest house with a smile.

Raksha Sea is preparing its own play activities for the rare holidays on the dark day. The whole sea area is decorated with lights and festoons, just like the colorful stars in the vast dark blue night sky.

Seimei Abe sat alone by the window, staring blankly at the cold moon in the night sky, his lonely silhouette was incompatible with the lively and festive atmosphere in the sea.

From the beginning of the whole plan, he has been frustrated and frustrated, no matter how tough his mind is, he can't help but feel deeply tired now.Originally, he was full of confidence and thought that he could do things with confidence, but the result was unexpected again, which hit him hard.

That night, he looked so tired that he didn't even have the mood to listen to the information quietly sent by Xue Nu, and he was depressed all night in the dimly lit room.

But his depression lasted only one night.

When the warm sun rose from the endless azure ocean at dawn the next day, the shimmering, golden sea was magnificent, and he was immediately shocked by the unusual scenery, and his mood was unexpected. became calmer.

Abe Seimei couldn't help but open the window. The Rakshahai Sea was very cold in winter, and his exhaled breath turned into a white mist in the air.But in this extremely cold climate, he felt the golden sunshine in the distance sprinkled on his face with a trace of warmth, and together with the blue sea, he gently healed the wound in his heart.

Abe Seimei, who was healed by the gentleness of nature, suddenly became enlightened, swept away the frustration of last night, and suddenly became alive and well.He was full of poetry, and wrote an article full of emotion praising Mother Nature, and then he put down the pen with satisfaction and sighed.

"Heaven will send a great mission to the people... How can I be defeated by this little disappointment?"

As described in the songs often sung by those monsters in the Raksha Sea, what is this little pain in the wind and rain?Don't be afraid to wipe away the tears, at least he still has dreams!

"Throughout the ages, who has achieved great things can be smooth sailing?"

Being able to stand out from thousands of monsters and get to this point has already proved his talent?

Qiong Lang's requirements are so harsh, and there are so many monsters in the whole sea area, she has always preferred to be short of jobs.Now being handpicked by her to hold a second job can be regarded as a recognition of his qualifications.

"There are monsters like Qing Xingdeng who are outstanding in a certain aspect, but who can say that she is better than me in everything?"

In this respect, he can't compare with Qing Xingdeng. He admits it. It's like asking him to compete with a demon luthier for the position of Yuefu order. Abe Seimei is not sure.

It's not that he's not good enough, it's just that he just happened to meet a monster like Qing Xingdeng. With Qing Xingdeng's talent, he may only be able to be a librarian, but Abe Seimei is good at many fields.

After thinking for a long time, Abe Seimei finally calmed down his depression and resentment, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

He will definitely make Qiong Lang look at him with admiration!

After being selected to serve, he, Yaohu and others are no longer fit to live in guest houses. Luochahai will arrange special residences for civil servants, and they will be located around the palace according to their rank and the affairs they are in charge of.

In the future, he will have his own courtyard, no need to crowd here with Yaohu and others, and he will even be much closer to Qiong Lang.

Thinking of this, Abe Seimei was in a great mood, and commanded the green cow goblins who helped carry the furniture, and walked towards the distant palace with arrogance.

The monsters along the way saw him walking with his head held high and his chest held high, and they only thought that he was proud of his smooth career, and they all came forward to congratulate him enviously and flattering him, and made friends with him.This long-lost sense of flattery made Abe Seimei feel as if he had returned to his life in Kyoto, which was very beneficial.

As a newly appointed high-ranking official, Qiong Lang also ordered the monsters to bring luxury melons and fruits that are not easy to enjoy in this season, which made Abe Seimei sweep away the previous disappointment, and his whole body was full of high spirits.

This is the so-called, the winter wind is proud of the hoof disease, and eats all the Rakshasa melons in one day.

*****

The entire Rakshasa Sea exudes a joyous festive atmosphere. During this rare holiday of the year, Qiong Lang also rarely puts aside the burdens on his body and gives himself a period of time to relax.

Qiong Lang has always been very concerned about food, and she has a strong taste. There are many spices cultivated on Luocha Island, all of which are collected and made into condiments.

Every household in the sea area is fiddling with their own food, and Qiong Lang is also busy preparing a big meal.

This time she invited monsters such as Arakawa and Shuten to come as guests, but she didn't order the monsters under her to organize a banquet, but cooked a home-cooked meal herself, treating it as a small gathering among friends.

Arakawa was not polite, he knew that Qionglang was a superb cook, so he cheerfully asked his monsters to bring a bunch of fresh seafood to enrich the ingredients.

After receiving the invitation, Shuten and Ibaraki also arrived at Raksha Sea on the third day of the Great Dark Day.They came together with the accompanying caravan, and brought a lot of high-quality demon wine as a door-to-door gift.

He had already known about the existence of this Abe Seimei in the letter. If he hadn't talked with the Abe Seimei from Kyoto Prefecture before coming to let him investigate and solve the matter, maybe he would have rushed into his yard now.

It was the first time for him to come to Raksha Sea, and he had heard Xingxiong boy praise this sea area before, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he felt that it was much better than that idiot's praise.

After Jiu Tun unloaded the wine jars and put them away, he found that Qiong Lang was leading a group of monsters busy sitting and eating.

There were too many cattle and sheep raised on the island to accommodate them, so Qiong Lang moved some to the southern edge of the mainland before, and made a defensive fence with thorns and vines.The distance between Luocha Sea and the mainland is only 300 meters. There are sea monsters stationed at the border of the enchantment to help guard it, and few strange monsters will break in to prey.

As the official property of Luochahai, these beef and mutton are not only used for banquets and entertaining guests, but also for the senior senior cadres and monsters in the sea area. At the same time, a certain amount will be regularly sold in the market.

According to the usual practice, she must eat dumplings every Chinese New Year. This is also a very popular way of eating in the sea area. Among them, the one made by Qiong Lang himself is the most delicious.

There were too many guests this time, not only did Qiong Lang cook for himself, but the monsters around him also helped.

Yimulian manipulated the wind with demonic power to help knead the noodles, and Huaniaojuan sat aside and mixed the stuffing. It was the first time for them to celebrate the New Year in the Raksha Sea, and they didn't know how to make these things. Ben Ben guided them carefully.

As a respected old monster, Ebisu was not called to work, but played with Pearl, Black and White Boy and a group of children in a warm room.

Qiong Lang was sitting in front of the desk and was concentrating on making dumplings, and Huang and Mengjing were also helping besides. It could be seen that the movements were very skillful. Among the three, Qiong Lang was the fastest, and the shape of the dumplings was also the most beautiful.

The three delicacies are the most fillings in the dumplings, and the most indispensable in Luochahai are scallops, seafood and shrimps.Beef and mutton are less stuffed, but Huang likes to eat these two kinds of dumplings very much, and can eat two big bowls every year during the Chinese New Year.

Xingxiong boy almost burst out laughing when he saw Huang, who usually had a stern face, tied his apron to make dumplings.

Lu Leng swished him a knife eye, and continued to make dumplings seriously unmoved, but Jiu Tun sat beside Qiong Lang holding a wine gourd, crossed Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "That idiot Xingxiong is on the way! They are all talking about the food you made, this time, my uncle finally has the chance to eat it."

"You come anytime and I can make it for you anytime." Qiong Lang held the dumpling wrapper with a smile on her face.

Datengu was also helping to make dumplings at the table, his hands were dexterous, and he learned how to make dumplings after watching Qiong Lang make them once, but the speed was not so fast.

I can't tell that Qionglang origami flowers are so stupid, but they are quick and quick to cook.

Ibaraki glanced at Ootengu, and eagerly stretched out his hand, "Are you busy? I'll help you too."

As he spoke, he inserted himself between Qiong Lang and Datengu, and the smile on the latter's face suddenly froze.

"Qiong Lang, how do you pack this thing? You teach me."

Seeing Ibaraki's very interested expression, Qiong Lang didn't refuse, and demonstrated with the dumpling wrapper.Probably because the young monsters are working, only the old man and the cubs are playing around, it's not good to sit and drink leisurely by yourself, but Shuten has washed his hands clean and wants to give it a try, and by the way, he also mixes with the little ones. Xingxiong boy from the children's pile also took over to work.

The originally empty table suddenly became crowded and chaotic.

"No...it's not like that. Don't squeeze too hard...Ouch!"

Accompanied by Qiong Lang's exclamation, the dumpling in Jiu Tun's hand was accidentally squeezed hard by him, and the fillings inside were scattered all over the floor.

"Why is this thing so soft?" He smiled awkwardly, "It seems to be causing you trouble."

"You put too much stuffing, the dumpling skin will be exposed if it is thin."

Ibaraki next to him was a little stronger than Jiu Tun, he was clumsy, and carefully squeezed a lumpy object that didn't know whether it was a steamed bun or a steamed bun and put it on the cutting board.

Just as he was happily wanting to invite Qiong Lang to favor him, the big dog next to him quickly put a delicate and small dumpling beside him.Looking at the two horribly contrasting dumplings, Ibaraki's smile suddenly froze.

Qiong Lang glanced at it, and said with a smile: "The big tengu is so powerful, it can be wrapped like this for the first time, Brother Tun, you can learn from him."

Hearing this, Ibaraki's expression was a bit depressed, but Daitengu couldn't help but slightly bent his lips, his pair of wings shook happily, and he threw a secretly smug look at Ibaraki, and continued to make dumplings gracefully Come.

"I'm very good too!" Xingxiong Boy excitedly put away a decent dumpling, with "Hurry up and praise me" written all over his face.

Among these three rough guys, the one who made the dumplings the fastest and the best turned out to be the most stupid-looking boy Xingxiong.

"You are still so useful."

While talking and laughing, Jiu Tun lived up to everyone's expectations and popped a dumpling. Seeing that he was a little bit at a loss, Huang twitched the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "It's still early for dinner, here are me and Qiong Lang They are enough, it is the first time for Shuten to come to Rakshahai, why not let Ibaraki take you to the market."

These people are here to make trouble.

Shuten coughed lightly, realizing that staying here would only help him more, so he simply nodded and asked Ibaraki to take him to the izakaya in the market for a drink.

Ibaraki left Qiong Lang's side with a look of reluctance, but Xingxiong Boy was ordered to stay and work with him, leaving his screaming resistance behind, and the figures of a pair of good friends disappeared into the room.

Qiong Lang put the wrapped dumplings aside, let the clam spirit cook them for a while, and sent them to Abe Seimei, Yaohu and other newly recruited civil servants to enjoy.

There is a free cafeteria for public servants near the palace. Abe Seimei had dinner early in the morning, and he was seriously reviewing books in his room at the moment.

Looking at it, I suddenly smelled a very fragrant smell, and when I looked up, I saw a demon waiter holding a food box and begging to see him.

"This is the dumpling that Qiong Langji ordered me to send." The demon waiter put a bowl full of dumplings and dipping sauce on the table, and said with a smile, "Isn't Master Qingming celebrating the festival in Luochahai for the first time? Are these dumplings delicious?" They are all made by Qiong Langji herself, they are much more delicious than those in the cafeteria, my lord is blessed!"

Abe Seimei nodded to send the waiter away, and took a bite with a complicated mood. The rich and delicious soup burst in his mouth. It was a delicacy that he had never tasted before, and he looked at the bowl of fragrant dumplings in surprise.

He knew that Qiong Lang was receiving guests from outside the sea area, but he didn't expect that she would cook the food herself, and it was so delicious.It doesn't feel at all like a demon king who controls all directions and strategizes, but has a bit of the tenderness of a wife and mother.

Abe Seimei ate the dumplings one bite after another, and suddenly a strange emotion spread in his heart.

On the other side, Qiong Lang was cutting vegetables to make a platter. In winter, there is nothing better than eating hot pot.It wasn't until the night moon rose outside the window that all the monsters finally sat in front of a huge round table.

There is a round hollow in the center of the round table, on which floats a huge mandarin duck pot, and a demon fire is burning below, and the spices boiled in it give off an attractive and rich aroma.

There are not many spices in this era, and Qiong Lang tried his best to restore the taste in memory. Although the seasoning is insufficient, it is still a rare delicacy even now.

The Big Tengu originally wanted to squeeze to sit next to Qiong Lang, but Qiong Lang excitedly squeezed his ass between the black boy and the white boy, his eyes were instantly stained with resentment.

Seeing this scene, Ibaraki smiled gloatingly and gave him a look.

Stupid dog, it seems that you haven't been able to get your wish.

Big Tengu snorted softly, withdrew his eyes, and sat beside Huang with a calm expression.

Qiong Lang cheekily crowded beside a group of children, which was particularly conspicuous. Hei Tongzi looked at her helplessly, but he didn't dislike Qiong Lang's approach.

"You are all eating hot pot for the first time. You may not be used to the spicy one on the left. You can eat the clear soup pot on the right."

As soon as the words fell, Kaguya Ji was already tearing up, and her whole face turned red.She just thought that the soup pot on the left was bright red and looked fragrant and delicious. After trying a piece of hot-boiled mutton, her taste immediately exploded.

Although I drank a large glass of water to suppress the hot feeling in my mouth, but somehow I couldn't stop the chopsticks sticking in!

The room was steaming, filled with the smell of food, mixed with the sound of chaotic conversations, the atmosphere was rare and lively.

As a rough man who eats meat and drinks heavily, Jiu Tun is indeed a monster with a strong taste, as Qiong Lang expected, and he has a preference for salty and spicy food.Arakawa put his chopsticks into the red soup pot more often than the clear soup pot. It seems that he is tired of eating bland seafood, while Ootengu eats a little lighter than the two of them, and he seems a little afraid of spicy food.

Tiaomei and Jinyuji like to eat sweets and desserts, Black and White Boy is a carnivore, and Kaguya Hime eats the most balanced food, and will take a small bite of everything.

Drinking is indispensable for eating hot pot. Although there is no Wuliangye Erguotou here, there is the demon wine brought by Jiutun from Dajiangshan.

Holding the wine gourd, he said mysteriously to Qiong Lang, "Qiong Lang, let me tell you, this is an unusual demon wine! This is the sake I accidentally mixed with Dajiangshan's special demon wine and human sake. The taste made by mixing them is more than twice as refreshing as before!"

While talking, Jiu Tun poured a bowl for them each with a wine gourd.

"Oh?" Qiong Lang responded curiously, eagerly took it and took a sip, his eyes lit up, "The taste is really extraordinary!"

"Of course, this is the wine made by my uncle! It's just that it has too much stamina and gets drunk easily. I guess an idiot like Hoshiguma would lie on the table after three bowls." Jiu Tun cast a disgusted glance and buried his head. Xingxiong Boy, who was eating too much, said again, "You didn't drink the wine last time, this time I brought you a lot of demon wine."

Qiong Lang nodded with a smile, and when he heard the first half of Jiu Tun's words, his heart moved and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

The stamina of this wine was really strong, except for Jiu Tun, all the monsters who drank a bowl were a little drunk on their faces, and ended the meal party with a blushing face while laughing.

After soaking in the hot spring and washing up, Qiong Lang came back indoors in a bathrobe refreshed. She glanced at the gourd demon wine on the desk, stroked her chin, and summoned the clam spirit to whisper something in her ear.

The clam spirit nodded and retreated, leaving Qiong Lang smiling at Yaojiu.

Everyone is drunk tonight, so they should be sleeping like hell, right?Taking advantage of the rare free time, this time I must not be interrupted again.

*****

Ootengu didn't drink much demon wine, and at this moment when the others were sound asleep, he was still habitually sitting on the tatami and reading some books before going to bed.

Halfway through, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the clam spirit sounded outside, "Master Big Tengu, Master Qiong Lang said that you left something at her place, can you go and get it?"

Big Tengu put down the scroll, got up and walked towards Qiong Lang's room in response, but he was a bit puzzled.

If something fell, would it be inconvenient for the clam essence to be delivered directly?

Came to Qiong Lang's room with doubts, she was sitting in front of the desk under the pale and hazy pearl light, and she didn't know what to do. Her long black hair after bathing was draped softly behind her, and her figure looked a little thinner and slender than usual.

"Qiong Lang, I'm here." He opened the door and walked to Qiong Lang's side, and found several paper flowers of different colors on the case.

Hearing his voice, Qiong Lang pursed his lips, turned his head and smiled at him calmly, and raised the paper flower in his hand, "I have already learned how to make origami flowers, how about it, isn't it good?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Datengu's eyes, he nodded and sat beside her, "You already know how to fold?"

"Yeah, I try to fold it twice every night before going to bed, and it will get better slowly."

"That's it... isn't it very busy these days? Why do you still spend your rest time on this kind of thing?" Da Tiangou couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He would rather Qiong Lang could not learn origami, so that he would have More chances to be alone with her.

"By the way, you said I left something here, what is it?"

Hearing the big tengu's question, Qiong Lang looked at his handsome face, a hint of cunning flashed quickly in his ice blue eyes, "Guess what."

"Guess...guess?" Big Tengu was slightly taken aback, and asked subconsciously, "Could it be the paper flowers I finished folding last time?"

"No." Qiong Lang shook his head, waving his fingers in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you drink with Jiu Tun and the others tonight, don't you like the smell of that demon wine?"

"No... the wine is good wine, it's just that my drinking capacity is too bad."

"Everyone is drinking, how can you not drink? This is not right..." Qiong Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Well, guess what you left with me, guess wrong once I'll punish you with a drink, how about that?"

"Hmm... that's fine." Big Tengu shook his head with a broken smile, a hint of doting flashed in the depths of his eyes, pampering her mischievousness.

"Let me see, is it a book?"

Qiong Lang shook his head, raised his hand and poured him a glass of wine, Da Tiangou took it and drank it, his fair cheeks were stained with a few traces of crimson immediately, the strong smell of the demon wine made him frown .

"Is it that bad?" Seeing his appearance, Qiong Lang muttered and drank a cup by himself.

"You drink less of this, it will have great stamina." Da Tiangou stretched out his hand to stop her, but Qiong Lang had already drank the second cup, and suddenly looked helpless.

"I'm fine, you continue to guess." Qiong Lang smiled and shook his head, but his cheeks were also much rosier.

"It's not a book, is it a fan?"

"wrong."

"Hmm... letter paper?"

"wrong."

"notes?"

……

Guessing wrong four or five times in a row, Daitengu drank about half a gourd worth of wine, and immediately became overwhelmed.The stamina of this demonic wine is very strong, I didn't feel anything at first, but as time passed, I felt my body became hotter and hotter, and even my mind became dull and dull.

The worst thing was that every time he drank a glass, Qiong Lang also drank one. At the moment, she was looking at him with blushing cheeks and drunken eyes, and the atmosphere of being alone in the room became ambiguous.

Aware of this unusual atmosphere, Ootengu's heartbeat began to speed up again, he turned his head slightly, and forced himself to regain his sobriety and said, "Okay...it's so late, so don't continue playing. You're already drunk Oh, I just told you not to drink, really..."

Seeing Qiong Lang's unresponsive appearance, Big Tengu laughed, and was about to coax her to sleep, but Qiong Lang took advantage of the situation and stuck up, "Obviously you are so stupid that you can't guess it for a long time."

The aroma of wine and body were entangled, and penetrated into the tip of his nose suddenly, making his head buzz for a while.

The picture in front of her eyes became a little blurry, Datengu felt a little bit of something wrong, frowned lightly and stood up to help her, "Hey, go to sleep, guess tomorrow, I'll go first..."

Hearing this, Qiong Lang's eyes drooped slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed across them.

Drunkenness made Da Tengu a little unsteady, Qiong Lang leaned lightly on his chest, and immediately crushed him to the point of choking for two steps.Leaning against his chest, Qiong Lang could hear his heart beating extremely fast, and his breathing was also abnormally rapid, obviously not drunk.

Her body paused for a moment, her heart sank, she hugged him, and asked drunkenly: "Why do you want to leave, don't you like Luochahai?"

"No... no... I'm thinking about something again." The big tengu subconsciously caught her, and the close body could almost feel the hot body temperature of each other.

Seeing his stupid and drunken appearance, Qiong Lang raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked softly next to his ear: "Then would you like to stay in Rakshahai..."

At this moment, Big Tengu's mind was in chaos. Hearing her question, he subconsciously replied softly: "Of course... yes."

If possible, he would like to stay by Qiong Lang's side for the rest of his life.

Finally... finally got his wish and got the answer he wanted, Qiong Lang's lips moved slightly, and there was an unusually gentle expression in his eyes, which seemed to be mixed with some complicated sighs.

Before Ootengu could react, the two of them fell on the tatami with a "boom", causing him to hum softly in pain.

Opening his eyes, he saw Qiong Lang's face close at hand, with the charming and charming face in his dream. Such an intimate contact immediately made him more than half sober.

"Does it hurt from the fall? Get up and have a look." He wanted to support himself, but Qiong Lang was so motionless that he couldn't move, and remained silent.

In the extremely quiet and ambiguous atmosphere, the two hearts were pounding, as if they were beating at the same speed, and the words that Ootengu wanted to say were suddenly choked in his throat.

The cool fingers gently caressed his face, causing strange itchiness where they passed, making goosebumps appear on his back.Reason tells him that the current situation is not right, but in his heart he is not willing to break the current time.

"It seems that you are really drunk." Qiong Lang's voice sounded like wine in a low voice, making his heart itch unbearably.

"You are not the same..."

Hearing this, Qiong Lang couldn't help but chuckled, lowered his voice and approached him and asked, "Do you know what exactly you lost to me?"

The two were almost nose to nose, and they could clearly smell each other's breath, and Daitengu's already dull mind immediately became more confused.Feeling the cool and soft hand gently caressing his face, he twisted impatiently, "What is it...?"

Qiong Lang pursed his lips, looking a little angry, and after a while, he pressed his other hand on his chest, and said softly: "Silly dog, it's your heart."

These words exploded in his mind like fireworks, with colorful and gorgeous colors, and at the same time made his body completely stiff.

The lost rationality finally returned to his mind, he felt his beating heart, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Qiong Lang.At this moment, he finally realized that there was no trace of drunkenness on Qiong Lang's face, and his ice blue eyes were beautiful and quiet.

"Joan..." The words were blocked in his mouth after he finished speaking, Da Tengu's pupils shrank suddenly, and the drunkenness all over his body disappeared completely.

Being pressed to the ground, his eyes were blocked by a hand, and there was something soft and moist in the darkness pressing on his lips, leaving only Qiong Lang's breath around him.

The author has something to say:

Qiong Lang: From now on, please call me the captain of the Japanese dog team.

Shuten: So the assist is really my drink?

Ibaraki (!?): Why are all the monsters around me cheating on me, even my close friends...

Hoshiguma: If Ibaraki can't get married, Shuten can figure it out for you.

Huang (roaring): mmp, it's hard to defend against house thieves day and night, I treat you as a good brother, but you actually fell in love with my m... sister!

Lianlian (calmly): Actually, I have already observed some clues...

Hei Tongzi (dumb): Where is Tong Yangfu?Suddenly out of favor.

Bai Tongzi: I think Qiong Lang might want you to be her son-in-law.

Flower and Bird Scroll: Oh, what a happy event, let’s beat the gongs and drums!

Abe Seimei (at a loss): What?This is impossible!I do not believe!

*****

Qiong Lang (lights a post-event cigarette): Originally, I just wanted to induce a certain dog to tell the truth after drinking, but I was so stupid that I bowed hard in anger.

Gouzi (shy): Oh...(っ///c)

Qiong Lang (excited): I even thought of the name of the child

Gouzi (???): ...
