[Comprehensive] Every day in Sakurabuki

There are many things to eat and play at the summer festival. As a local, Natsume has fully fulfilled his friendship as a landlord, and has also been a flower protector. Su Chi's clothes didn't even show any wrinkles.

Su Chi loves beauty, so it is very useful to be considerate of young people. The venue of this summer festival is very large. Considering the limited physical strength of young people as human beings, Su Chi suggested to go to the side to find a bench and sit down later. Let's watch them set off fireworks.

"Miss Su Chi, have you never participated in a summer festival before?"

Both of them held a freshly bought apple candy in their hands. The red apple candy exudes a sweet taste. Although it is not very delicious, I always feel that with such a thing, the summer festival is complete.

"Ah... There will be similar activities in China, we call them temple fairs, they have been very lively since ancient times, even more grand and spectacular than summer festivals, there will be acrobatics and the like, as well as cross talk and opera performances. In ancient times, there would be foreign theater troupes on the streets, but now these things are gone, after all... there are urban management." Su Chi made a small joke, and then asked: "In Japan, except for summer Should it be called a fireworks display besides the festival?"

"Yes, summer festivals usually have fireworks... I don't know how the fireworks here are."

"I haven't seen fireworks in a foreign country. I think the fireworks in the Tang Dynasty were amazing... Although the various technologies are powerful now, I always feel that the mood is different from that time."

"It's probably because the flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year. Miss Su Chi's life is unimaginably long. There must be many people who watched fireworks with you."

"No, so far you are the only one who watched the fireworks together." Su Chi licked the syrup on the apple, smacked his lips and said, "I have never really enjoyed the moon and fireworks with one person."

In the past, when watching fireworks, the imperial court issued a decree to have fun with the people during the Chinese New Year. Su Chi stood under the city wall to watch with the common people. The official on duty and his colleagues looked up in their busy schedules, as for admiring... In fact, they didn't care at all.

Now the young man next to her is the one who made a special trip to watch the fireworks with her. It was the first time for Su Chi in thousands of years, so she felt that it was quite fresh.

"Eh? Haven't you?"

"I swear, absolutely not."

Seeing Su Chi's determined expression, Natsume suddenly lowered his head in embarrassment: "I thought...Miss Su Chi should have a partner."

"Just like you, I won't decide who to stay with so frivolously." With her status, she can't make a rash decision. She has had many suitors before, some emperors ruled the world, some with a There are hundreds of generals and scholars who are full of knowledge, but no one can accompany her to the end, and she never gives them a chance to try to spend the rest of their lives with her.

The rest of her life is too long for humans to afford, and neither can she.

It's her habit not to talk lightly about liking and admiration, even if she "lives in a hundred flowers, not a single leaf touches her body", she is extremely romantic, and she is just a simple joke. Although this habit has caused many unnecessary misunderstandings, but Su Chi still didn't want to change it - how fun it is to tease children.

So speaking of her being responsible and irresponsible for her feelings, she is very cautious about the feelings she is about to give, but she always covets ordinary people. Hongjun didn't kill her to do justice for the sky, probably because of the face of Ao Dai Shengjun .

"Then what about those monsters who live with you? Aren't they companions you can entrust?"

Once upon a time, Natsume always thought that those mature or energetic men were Su Chi's lovers, but from this point of view, it seemed that Su Chi had no favorite candidates.

"No. Although you can entrust your life, it's not appropriate to talk about lovers. To me, they are just children who need my care." Su Chi bit off the exposed apple. The taste was a bit greasy. Person: "Lover, it doesn't mean that you can be together if you share the same mind. Like me, even if everyone is a monster, there are still many things that cannot be compromised with each other. For example, the difference in cultivation, the understanding of the world... For example, you That fox at home is far worse than Loach Beard."

The two were chatting here, when the bushes behind them suddenly rustled, Su Chi subconsciously blocked the helpless young man behind him, squinted his eyes and looked at the brown tail in the bushes: " who?"

"Natsume~~~"

After a while, a little boy jumped out from the bushes, his voice was full of joy, but after he jumped out, he felt that his friend's figure seemed to have changed, at least his face was buried in something soft: "Huh? Natsume, have you gained weight? Your body is so soft and delicious..."

The little fox rubbed his head and raised his head, only to realize that he hugged the wrong person, and the woman was still looking at him with a kind smile on his face, his instinct immediately made an alarm bell ring in his heart, and when he saw Natsume right behind her, he swished He rushed over: "Natsume! I heard they said that you are coming to the summer festival, so come here!"

It's completely a performance of pretending to be stupid and unwilling to face reality-should not be able to see me!It is also a fox if you see it!

Unexpectedly, Su Chi shattered his fantasy in the next moment: "The little guy jumped on me and still doesn't apologize?"

"...Eh?" The little fox grabbed the corner of Natsume's shirt and looked over in disbelief: "Can you see me?!"

"Of course." Su Chi chuckled, "I'm also... a monster."

"Really?!" The little fox widened his eyes, looked at Su Chi and then at Natsume, boldly let go of the corner of his friend's clothes, leaned over and sniffed Su Chi again, and then scared the whole person Jumped up: "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't jump on you on purpose! I just want to say hello to Natsume!"

As a canine monster, what the little fox is most proud of is his sense of smell. There is a powerful and dangerous aura on Su Chi's body. That aura is actually tasteless, but it makes even his fur explode.

The little monster's reckless appearance made Su Chi think of the short knives of his own Honmaru, which are also of the type that cause trouble if they are mischievous. Of course, he will not blame him if he brings them in, especially since this child seems to have a good relationship with Natsume, so he is naturally very magnanimous. Forgave him, and even smiled gently: "It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding, I'm not an unreasonable guy."

"Hey... Natsume-sama, are you playing with this lord at the summer festival?" The little fox was touched by Natsume comfortingly, raised his face and asked: "Today's demon world also has a summer festival, Are you two going to see it? It's nearby, and you can also see the gorgeous fireworks."

"So your demon world will also hold such activities?" Su Chi couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of which, the monsters on my side also hold temple fairs every year and festival, and they are indeed more interesting than human beings."

The stories of Chinese demons and monsters spread to Japan and became their popular Hyakki Night Walk. As a witness, Su Chi affirmed that their Hundred Ghost Night Walks were much less diverse than China’s, after all, they only came out of the secret land of mountains and seas. There are hundreds of monsters, not to mention Xiaoqian Yingning and others who have been rumored to this day.

There are those that can separate their bodies and heads, those with hundreds of feet and a hundred eyes, those that breathe fire and water, and those that crawl and fly among them. The Chinese Wanyaolu is a scroll that is forbidden for ordinary people to open. Incur disasters, after all, none of them are vegetarians.Su Chi would not easily take a mortal like Natsume to join in the fun, if he got lost, he would end up with no bones left.

"They will imitate humans and set up some stalls, such as Oden and the like. The taste is very good... Would you like to see Miss Su Chi?"

"I'm fine, but as a human being, is it really okay to go to that kind of place? Are you not afraid of being torn apart and eaten?"

"...Although I do look weak, my monster power is not bad. If there are monsters who trouble me, I shouldn't be able to get anything cheap."

"Don't say such things lightly, you can't fathom what those guys are thinking."

Su Chi sighed, bought a fox mask from a mask booth on the side, bit his finger, and drew a layer along the lines of the fox's face: "In this way, a lot of trouble can be avoided, unless those monsters are real If you don’t have eyes, leave it to me to handle it.”

"Your hand?" Seeing the bright red blood flowing from Su Chi's fingertips, Xia Mu suddenly panicked, reached out and grabbed the girl's hand: "There's a lot of blood!"

"It's just blood, a medium to leave a mark, so that you won't be targeted by monsters with ulterior motives." Su Chi smiled and withdrew his hand: "I heard from Loach Beard that you still have a friend... Account? Is that the name?"

"Eh... yes, there is this."

"I heard that it is a very precious thing. It can command all the monsters whose names are registered on it. Since you got it, you have been troubled by many monsters, right?"

In order to show his favor, Loach Beard knows everything about Su Chi. Of course, this is also based on his knowledge of people. He knows that Su Chi will not covet a friend account that can command monsters, so he is at ease. Well, Su Chi is somewhat interested in this thing, but it is true that he will not take it by force and keep it for himself.After all, she has the demon banner given by Nuwa in her hand. Compared with Nuwa's things, the account of friends is still too childish. Any monster in it can set off a bloodbath, and it is not at the same level as Japanese monsters.

"Well...they all want to get the account of friends, and then dominate one side." Now that Su Chi already knew, Natsume had nothing to hide, and he rubbed the back of his head in a bit of embarrassment: "Some still want to eat I added my cultivation base, this is the most troublesome... I don't seem to be so appetizing to monsters."

"I'm afraid you don't know how delicious you smell." Su Chi covered his lips and smiled slightly: "Although you are thin and thin, when I first saw you, if I hadn't escaped the nascent stage of drinking blood, you must have I will eat you up. Sitting behind you at that time, I used a lot of self-control to prevent myself from breaking the precept."

Sweet, with a bit of floral fragrance, and pure spiritual power, it is the most attractive food for monsters. It is understandable for this child to be targeted.

"So, as your companion, on the premise that I am stronger than you, I am obliged to protect you." Su Chi put a fox mask on Natsume. The mask has holes for eyes, so there is no need to draw it again. One eye is on the top: "You just need to be obedient and obedient."

"···Yes."

The mask blocked his face so that Su Chi couldn't see the boy's flushed skin, saying that he smelled delicious sounded more embarrassing than saying it himself.

The summer festival of the monsters is in the garden next to the market. Because it is night, the garden without street lights is deserted.But if it is a human like Natsume who can see monsters, he will find that the place is full of lanterns, brightly lit, and the excitement is no less than that of those humans.

The buffalo monsters are dressed in Japanese-style gowns, with a sweat towel tied on their heads in a decent way, and they are selling takoyaki in a decent way; the soft white rabbit monsters are selling candy apples and corollas made of flowers along the street. The baby on the back is sleeping in the swaddling clothes, and people can't help but smile when they look at it; the cat demon has set up a goldfish fishing stall, but before anyone comes to fish, her salivating expression almost scares the fish to death ; There is a deer demon in human form, because of his good figure, there are rows of clothes hangers around him, which has the atmosphere of a night market stall.

In addition, there are also many talented performers. Some monsters have lived with humans under the same roof for a long time, learned a lot of their culture, and set up a stage to imitate human actions and expressions in various situations.Because human life is very short for them, the monsters can't understand their thoughts, so that when the monsters on the stage perform the death of their loved ones and cry loudly by the bed, some monsters laughed and said, "It's too exaggerated." ".

They have never experienced birth, old age, sickness and death, so everything they watch is a drama, but in Su Chi's eyes, it will somewhat resonate with her.

Xia Mu turned his head and saw Su Chi staring at the crying wolf demon on the stage, and naturally thought of some unforgettable people in Su Chi's long history, thinking that she was hurt by the scene, he stretched out his hand to hold her: "I I know that there is a monster who cooks delicious Okonomiyaki, I saw his stall just now, over there, I invite you to eat."

"What is Okonomiyaki?" Su Chi has only been in Japan for half a month. Although the cultures of the two countries have many similarities, thousands of years have passed, and Su Chi, who has just arrived, has not figured it out. At this time, it is more like Like an ignorant child, before he realized what happened, he was taken away by the teenager holding hands, away from the stage where the "comedy" was being staged.

"You'll know when you eat it."

After leading the way, the little fox was taken away by his family. The elders are all discerning monsters. Naturally, they knew that their children could not be other people's light bulbs at this time, so they coaxed and deceived them back home. So now only Su Chi and Natsume Takashi are left to visit the garden.

The young man blinked, and led Su Chi to a stall of a horse demon. There was a decent sign beside the table: "Authentic Okonomiyaki, a century-old history, no deception."

"Please give me a Tsukimi-yaki and a Modern-yaki." The voice of the boy wearing a fox mask was a little muffled, but it didn't affect the monster's hearing: "Okay, find a place to sit and wait, soon Good."

"Okay!" Although the mask was blocking it, Natsume still smiled friendly.

He took Su Chi and sat down at the small table in front of the booth, and the diligent little fairy quickly put out the sour plum juice: "Please use it slowly!"

"Thank you." Natsume nodded slightly.

"It seems that this summer festival has become quite large." Su Chi put the straw in his mouth with a smile.

"I have been here before, and most of these monsters are still very friendly. They prefer to learn human customs rather than make troubles. However, the scale was not so grand last year. Maybe they have found new fun to add this year?"

"Sour plum soup tastes good." Su Chi gave a very appreciative compliment, then raised his eyebrows: "Speaking of which, haven't I been a guest at your house yet? After you know that I'm a monster, are you still assured that I will come into your house? "

"Miss Su Chi is a powerful and kind monster. I have nothing to worry about. Aunt Tazi has been looking forward to your visit, but neither she nor Uncle Zi know that you are a monster..."

"Hahaha, it's nothing. It's understandable. After all, not many people dare to share a room with monsters. I don't want to cause any panic."

In other words, Okonomiyaki is a Japanese-style vegetable pancake, but because of its rich ingredients, it is also called "a delicacy that you can add whatever you want to eat". The main ingredients of Tsukimi-yaki are eggs, pork, octopus, shrimp, crispy on the outside and inside. Tender and rich in taste, some Tsukimi-yaki even add cheese and rice cakes during the production process, the sweet and springy feeling is unforgettable.

The two Okonomiyaki ordered by Natsume were delivered quickly. In addition, they also gave plastic knives and forks, which looked like they were eating pizza.

"This stall owner's craftsmanship is very good, Miss Su Chi, you can try it."

"Well, I feel very appetizing when I smell it." Su Chi looked at the round, golden-yellow Tsukimiyaki, smiled, picked up the knife and fork, and pierced it from the middle, and found that the stall owner actually added cheese. Even the eggs are runny, flowing out with the dense cheese, which looks quite delicious.

"Then, I'll start. Thank you for your hospitality." Su Chi has already seen Japanese table manners from his own children when he was in Honmaru. Every meal, Honmaru’s restaurant will burst out such a sentence, over time, even the Chinese weapons have been assimilated by them, as a girl, Yue Nvjian’s voice is comparable to that of the dragon sword, and even because the girl turned it up, it sounds Louder than these men.

Su Chi is very picky about food. After all, she was born in a florist in a gourmet paradise. From ancient times to modern times, she has enjoyed all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, and imperial cuisine. Although she is not picky about food, there are very few foods that she can praise. Little, I used to test dishes for concubines in the palace, and everyone said that she had a tricky tongue.

The Tsukimi-yaki in front of her is definitely not in her recipe range, but probably because she finally has someone to do things with her, so even a small pancake makes her feel very tempting

"This is Modern Burn? Why is it called that?"

Natsume's heart is like a flower in the high mountains, and Su Chi, who does not eat fireworks, turned into a hundred thousand whys today. The most classic and familiar items in the eyes of the Japanese have become novel in her eyes. , Su Chi has asked him no less than ten "why" and "what", as if faced with the surprise of opening the door to a new world, not at all like a big monster whose practice is higher than that of the cat teacher, but even better than the teacher A little childish...but such Su Chi looks extraordinarily cute. When she leaned her face to the booth and pointed at something and asked him, the innocent and cheerful expression made him smile, that is Now Su Chi pointed at his Okonomiyaki, biting a fork with an eager look on his face, which made the passing monsters smile knowingly.

"Modern-yaki actually has another name called Hiroshima-yaki. In fact, I don't know where it became popular. However, monsters are very good at grasping information. Before humans know it, they have already introduced new ones. In this case, the biggest difference from Tsukimi-yaki is that it also adds Japanese-style fried noodles." The boy pushed the shallow plate under Su Chi's eyes: "Want to try it?"

"Okay." Su Chi was not polite, and cut a piece with a knife to taste the taste: "Well..."

"how do you feel?"

"This one is a little salty." Su Chi smacked his lips: "Tsukimiyaki is sweet."

"If you like, I can give you mine too."

"That's not necessary, it will be more delicious if you share it." Su Chi said and cut a piece of Tsukimiyaki and put it on Natsume's plate: "Although Guizhi should have eaten this pancake, but I Still have to reciprocate."

"Thank you for the hospitality." The lower half of the boy's face was not covered by the mask because of the meal, and he couldn't help smiling when he saw a large piece of Tsukimiyaki that Su Chi shared with him.

The okonomiyaki at the summer festival is actually very small because everyone likes to eat while shopping, so even if they chewed slowly, the two of them finished their share quickly and were going to go to other places to have a look .

Because the space is limited, and at this time, all the monsters are running out to watch the fireworks display, so the road has become quite crowded. There are also little monsters running in the opposite direction and playing around, followed by their angry parents: "Smelly Come back to me, boy!"

Su Chi and Natsume walked among the monsters quite calmly. Su Chi has nothing to worry about because he has an aura similar to them, and Natsume is actually very safe with her by his side, as long as they can find her. The best viewing place is fine.

"Speaking of which, we don't have to stand on the ground to watch, do we?"

As soon as Su Chi finished speaking, a child rushed over from behind and bumped into her back with a "bang", pushing the defenseless Su Chi staggeringly.

"Be careful!" Natsume was shocked, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to pick it up. How much strength did he have, and he directly pulled Su Chi back from the state of rushing forward. The two were about the same height. The mask that was not brought back was knocked off, and the human breath was transmitted into the noses of those monsters in an instant, and all eyes were focused on this side.

"There are humans here!!!" a pig demon screamed.

"It's unforgivable to actually come to the monster's territory!! Eat him!!!"

"I don't know the heights of the boy!!!" A group of monsters yelled and rushed over, and they didn't seem to pay attention to the female monster who seemed to be mediocre.

"I see who dares?!"

Su Chi yelled loudly, the flowers on the forehead actually shone brightly, and an ice mist condensed around the two of them, immediately suppressing all the monsters.

"This is my ration. If you want to eat it, you must first make up your mind to be eaten by me." Su Chi sneered, and the ice crystals in front of him shone coldly, looking extremely dangerous.

"..." The monsters present also had some knowledge. Looking at the formation, they knew that Su Chi was not a good person, so they had to put aside their cannibalistic thoughts: they couldn't beat this one, and they gave their lives for a human boy. Not worth it.

Of course, some monsters recognized the young boy as Natsume Takashi. They only knew that he knew the famous Jingji Chang and Natori Monday, but they didn't expect that even so, they would be captured by this female monster who had never met before. The strength made it impossible for the monster catcher to compete, and he was even more hopeless, so he had to run away in despair.

Xia Mu was a little dumbfounded when he saw the critical situation just now being resolved by Su Chi. After all, he was only rescued by Su Chi once. He thought that a 1V1 battle should be easy for Su Chi. The crowd of monsters suddenly turned into cowards and dispersed, and he had a new understanding of Su Chi's ability.

After the monsters walked away, the fireworks display just started.

The venue was on the square beside the market. With the cheers of humans, fireworks of all colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, flew into the sky, blasting out huge patterns one after another, beautiful and shocking.

Su Chi took Natsume and sat directly on the tallest and thickest branch. The field of vision here is extremely wide, and the style of the fireworks is clear at a glance. Watching them explode right in front of your eyes also has a different kind of beauty.

"The style of fireworks in the past was very monotonous. The main thing was to listen to them during the New Year and festivals. Except for the imperial court, the common people like to set off firecrackers. They use red paper to wrap the gunpowder. After lighting the fire, they have to cover their ears and run away. Open, the sound is like thunder when it explodes, put a string on it during the Spring Festival, which means that the whole year will be prosperous." Xia Mu's ears kept ringing loudly, but Su Chi could still hear him saying What: "Fireworks were something that the common people were not qualified to buy in ancient times. For them, fireworks can't be used to drink tea. They have no meaning except for being beautiful. They are not as festive as earth cannons. But I think watching fireworks is a good thing if someone is with you. A very romantic thing... don't look at me, although I am not young, but I also like to read little love poems, and I have been a racing driver abroad, so I still understand romance."

"No, that's not what I meant..."

Natsume pursed her lips: "The meaning of fireworks is to give people who watch fireworks a sense of satisfaction in a colorful life, or to hope that it will be more appropriate. If someone is with you, the goal you set is usually shared by two people. of."

"Our common goal now is to let you find a love partner." Su Chi laughed and mentioned the previous incident: "Everyone in the province is worried about your life-long event, so I also give you the place to make a wish, anyway I don't need God's blessing."
