[Onmyoji] The goal is to straighten Ibaraki!

The big tengu came to this forest again, it was three years after seeing the little girl for the first time.

In the world of monsters, time is like flowing water for them, passing quickly, and not many monsters care about how long it has passed, but human beings are different, their lifespan is very short, so They tend to live every day on a budget.

After three years, he knew that the passage of time between humans and monsters was different. In his opinion, it seemed that it had not been too long since the last conversation, but he could also understand that he suddenly appeared in front of the human girl. In front of her son, she didn't know if she still recognized herself, or...she was still in that forest.

Big Tengu walked into the forest with the gift promised three years ago, just like the pure spiritual power he felt when he walked into the forest, but now this spiritual power seems to be much more pure and pure.

When he left three years ago, she said: "I want a beautiful dress. After my mother leaves, I will never have a chance to wear a new dress."

In the past three years, he flew to many places and witnessed many bad things at the same time. Distraught, he remembered the promise he had made, and then set off to fulfill the promise.

When the big tengu approached the sacred tree again, and looked from a distance, he could see a human girl circling under the tree, surrounded by some small animals, and the leaves scattered from the sacred tree seemed to have Fluorescent, sprinkled around the girl, she looks like a lively and lovely elf.

The big tengu was a little fascinated, and his ears were full of the clear laughter of the girl under the sacred tree. He couldn't help but raised his foot and wanted to walk over. branches.

This sound alarmed the dancing girl under the tree, she turned her head and looked over, and the big tengu noticed her appearance at this moment, compared to the first time they met, she was slightly longer, but not completely faded, the corners of her eyes and The brows were slightly raised, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood at the moment.

Humans grow so fast.Big Tengu sighed in his heart.

"...Uncle?" The girl asked with some uncertainty, and the big tengu responded, and saw a happy smile on the girl's face, and ran towards the big tengu, "Uncle, you are finally here, I thought you forgot about me."

"No, it's just that there are some things to deal with, so it's delayed. Here's a gift for you."

The girl took the thing, "Can I open it and have a look?"

"Ah."

"Wow - what a beautiful dress! Do the girls outside usually wear such beautiful clothes?" The girl looked up at the big tengu, and his frank eyes made him uncomfortable. He could tell that the clothes were actually He was looking for it according to the royal rank. It is impossible for ordinary girls to wear such beautiful and comfortable clothes because they have no money at all.

"Like it?"

"Well, I like it very much. Thank you, uncle. It happened to be my birthday the day before yesterday, so let's treat it as a birthday present from my uncle."

"It was your birthday the day before yesterday?"

The girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "Monsters usually don't celebrate their birthdays, Xiao Huang and the others tell me that, but every year on my birthday, they will spend it with me, so they won't Feel lonely."

For some reason, Ootengu still heard the trace of loneliness in her tone. For human beings, birthday is something worth celebrating. On this day, I should spend it with my family, but at her young age There are no parents. In this forest, I live with a group of little monsters.

"I will come here to accompany you every year on your birthday." He himself didn't understand why he made such a promise.

"Oh? But isn't this too much trouble for you, uncle? It seems that uncle has a lot of important things to do."

"I still have some spare time for a day." In fact, thinking about it carefully, he has been to many places in the past three years. Apart from witnessing many disputes between humans and monsters, he has really done nothing meaningful. Has been wandering.

"that would be great!"

Ootengu also did as he promised. Every year on the girl's birthday, he would bring all kinds of things that ordinary girls like from the outside world to this forest as gifts, give them to the girl, and accompany her for a whole day. sky.

Unknowingly, the little girl who was not as big as his belly had grown so big, and now it has grown to the bottom of his shoulders, and the whole face has faded from the innocence of childhood, and replaced it with the greenness of a little woman. Bitter and coquettish.

Big Tengu looked at the girl who looked like this, and his heart beat faster. He actually felt that the girl in front of him was really beautiful, and she was the prettiest one among all the humans and monsters he had ever seen. Her Beauty, beauty is clean and neat, no matter what kind of expression is put on her face, it will not make people feel pretentious.

Today's girls are already 15 years old. According to human customs, girls of this age are probably already talking about marriage.

"Ah, uncle, do you know how to play the flute?" The girl noticed the bamboo flute pinned to the big tengu's waist.

"No." Datengu also took a look at the bamboo flute on his waist. It was just something he got by accident. He thought it looked pretty delicate, so he kept it.

Youkai like them will be ridiculed by the same kind if they learn these things from humans.

"It's okay, no, I can teach you, I can play the flute."

The big tengu looked at the peaceful smile on the girl's face, and his tired heart felt instantly healed. He walked to the sacred tree and sat down, just like every time he came to this place, he would sit under the sacred tree. She sat until the next morning before leaving, and she would tell him many, many things. It seemed that all the interesting and happy things that happened to her this year would be told to him all in one day and one night.

The girl took the bamboo flute, "My mother often taught me to play the flute when she was still there, but it's a pity that the flute my mother gave me when I was a child has broken."

"Well, then this one is for you."

"Is it really possible?"

"Well, it's useless for me to take it anyway."

"Thank you, uncle!" The girl paused, stroked the flute, looking very satisfied, "Speaking of which, uncle, you don't know my name yet, do you?"

"That said, it seems to be true." They have been together for many years, although they only see each other once a year, they meet each other every year, and even now they still don't know each other's names.

"My name is Shigure, please give me your advice, uncle."

"Big dog."

"Sure enough, Uncle is a Tengu, but I often hear people say that all Tengus wear scary masks. Uncle, where's your mask?"

"Do you want to see it? Or forget it, I'm afraid it will scare you."

"No, I'm going to take a look, just take a look. Besides, this is the uncle's mask. Even if it's scary, but if you think about your appearance, uncle, you won't feel scared at all. The uncle looks like the one I saw. Among the monsters I have ever lived, the most handsome one!"

The big tengu habitually raised his hand and stroked the top of Shiyu's head. She had a bunch of dull hair on her head. She had it since she was a child. She never saw it lie down when she grew up. Every time the big tengu couldn't help but want to Fiddle with it twice more.

Shi Yu picked up the flute and played the tune that his mother often taught her when she was a child.

The sound of the flute is melodious, and it is particularly refreshing in the huge and quiet forest.

"Speaking of which, uncle, why are your wings shedding all the time?"

"Hair loss?" He didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't seem to feel anything. This should be... not hair loss, but a special effect, right?The big tengu has never been able to understand why the pair of huge wings behind him always look like feathers are falling.

"You said that your feathers keep falling off, will one day only be left with bare meat balls, yes, it's like a chicken wing with its feathers stripped off!"

Big Tengu: "..." What a bad metaphor.

"I'm just kidding, uncle, even if you lose all your feathers, in my mind, you will always be the most handsome!"

"People are big and little devils."

"I'm not young anymore. According to the age of human beings, I'm already married and have children." Shi Yu turned around and grabbed Da Tengu's hand, "Uncle, take me out to see the world."

"Do you want to go out?" Over the years, he has always come to see her, listen to her stories, and then tell her stories about the outside world. Of course, he has considered whether to go out with him See what the outside world is like.

But after thinking about it, he gave up this idea. As far as he saw the outside world, there were many wars and strife, like Shi Yu who didn't know anything. A piece of white paper was placed in such a big colorful dyeing vat. It is the purest heart that will be polluted.

"Well, it's almost time to get out of the woods."

"When is the time? When is the time, what are you doing out of the woods?"

"Procreating future generations, this has been the greatest duty of human beings since ancient times." Especially for the priestesses, it is their mission not to let the future die.

Datengu was completely stunned, as if he didn't hear what Shi Yu said clearly, she asked him to take her out to meet the world, just to... reproduce?Want him to take her to find another man?

For some reason, all of a sudden, he felt his heart was in a panic, and he wanted to blurt out something, but it was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it at all, yes, what should he say?

She is a human being. It is true that there are very few human women at her age who have not yet married. Even most women at this age have already given birth to children. It is good for her to have such an idea, but he is a monster. Too much interference in human choice.

It's just... When he heard Shi Yu say such words, he was very reluctant in his heart, let her go to another man and have a child for that man, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt .

At that time, Ootengu didn't know what his mood meant, but he couldn't bear to refuse because of the girl's eagerly looking forward to it, so he agreed casually.

And in his life, he regretted nothing more than this, that he agreed to take her out of this forest. If he hadn't taken Shi Yu away at the beginning, so many things would not have happened later.

Maybe Shiyu has never met him before. When she reaches a certain age, she will walk out of the forest by herself, face everything by herself, find a human man to marry, and then reproduce. All of this will not have anything to do with him relation.

In that case, Shigure wouldn't die.
