[Onmyoji] I don't want to be dog food

There are no trees or flowers planted in front of Ibaraki Doji's house. Even if it is covered with snow, there is no fun to speak of.A black evil spirit lingers above the roof, unable to set off against the white snow.From the messy footprints left on the snow, it can be seen that everyone is restless.

If possible, I hope that my elder brother can forgive me for what I have done so far.It was actually many years ago that they were hostile to Ibaraki, not to mention that we who are now reduced to monsters live in fear every day to improve Ibaraki's demon power.

Brother and the others don't like Ibaraki, which is understandable.

If I were with Ibaraki, it would probably be absurd.After all, if he is not good-looking, maybe he will only treat him as a friend, and will not think about the relationship between men and women.

Yes, it's all because he's so good-looking.

Everyone likes beautiful things, and if the other party has a good appearance, it is as pleasing to the eye as appreciating the beautiful scenery.Therefore, I am indeed a color control person.

"Ghost girl, what's wrong with you?" Ibaraki's cold voice sounded from behind.

I came back to my senses, and when I turned around, I saw a small wound on Ibaraki's pointed ear, which should have been caused when I pulled his ear loop off yesterday.I stretched out my arms and gently pinched the wound, and said, "It's nothing, Ibaraki-sama, do your ears still hurt?"

Ibaraki held my hand instead: "Hmph, this little injury is nothing. Speaking of which, my ear loops are still in your hands."

"Just leave it as a souvenir for me, I will always miss you." Ibaraki's earrings are pretty, and I don't want to return them, because it is also a happy thing to keep beautiful things for myself.

"Okay, then treat it as a token between you and me." He leaned down again, leaned over and kissed my cheek.

His face turned red instantly.Nice voice, good looks, when these two things come together, I can't resist.

But now is not the time to talk about love, just now Qingming fainted, as a shikigami, I have to care about it, otherwise Qingming's father will feel that I have raised this child for nothing.

"Yeah. Let's catch up with Seimei's father and the others. We've been out for too long, and we've forgotten our tasks and work. I don't feel very good. My eyesight is bad. Can Ibaraki-sama carry me?" I asked.

"Is there anything I can do? You don't need to ask me such meaningless questions in the future, come up quickly." Ibaraki squatted down, ready to carry someone on his back.

I went around behind him, leaned on his back, wrapped my arms around his neck, buried my head in his shoulder, thanked him softly and said, "Thank you, you are very nice."

"Idiot." He didn't seem to be struggling when he got up, he didn't use his hands to support the weight of my body, and he walked straight away.

If it's like this...it's better not to carry...my hands are tired.

I simply jumped off his back, hugged his arms instead, closed my eyes and walked forward, and said back: "I'm not stupid, I'm much smarter than you who are not very literate."

"Smartness cannot be measured by literacy. Also, how did you determine that the reward seal was written by me?"

"I didn't directly say that you wrote it, but you have already admitted what you just said, so there is no need to guess."

"Hmph, you woman." Ibaraki's tone was half a smile, but it's a pity that I had to close my eyes, otherwise I would have seen his doting expression a long time ago.

Well, I was too naive, too girlish.

The way back was quite long, and I didn't open my eyes for a long time. When I returned to the courtyard and opened my eyes again, I was no longer used to such strong light.Ibaraki actually covered my eyes with his palms, guiding me to open them slowly.

Because of such a small action by Ibaraki, when I opened my eyes again, I attracted the crowd of Shikigami in the courtyard.The rule of not being allowed to fall in love in the dormitory can't be forgotten!I turned around and walked towards my room, not wanting to continue entanglement with Ibaraki.

Also, it's time to see how Qingming's father is doing.

There are no shadows of big brothers and others around, I guess they will never want to see me again.If Qingming can beat me up, scold me, or decompose me, then my conscience will be at peace.

In the end, Seimei didn't blame me.

In the past few days, I stopped at the door of Qingming's room again and again, just wanting to apologize to him.He didn't dare to knock on the door, so he had to retreat temporarily to do his daily tasks, and then go back to Qingming.Whenever I asked Xiaobai Qingming where his father was going, Xiaobai would only say: "Master Qingming took Ibaraki and the evil ghosts to fight the unicorn."

Although I know Seimei is very busy, it's not like she doesn't even have time to eat.In the past, when he had no energy, he would bring Ibaraki back to eat some sushi before continuing, but now he has no chance of finding his shadow.

What's more, Big Brother and the others never came to see me again.Only the second sister would come and talk to me about life, saying that girls should love themselves and so on.

Of course I know this, but it is indeed very difficult to actually practice it.

Then, all the shikigami in the dormitory knew about Ibaraki and I, but everyone had mixed opinions about it.I don't care what they usually say about us, just be yourself.Especially Miss Nine-Tailed Fox, every time she sees me, besides saying hello, she will also ask me how it feels to have a man, and whether it will make people immerse themselves in sweetness.

What will happen?

Nothing.

Compared with when I was single, I just have one more person by my side.

Because of Seimei’s neutral attitude of neither objecting nor agreeing, Ibaraki has nothing to fear, and he will come to me with a tired body almost every day after finishing his tasks.Ibaraki would always shake his body with injuries, and before he had time to change out of his torn clothes, he would rest his head on my lap and lay down on the corridor as relaxed as he could, looking up at the sky.

I just casually gave him a knee pillow and patiently listened to him talk about today's troubles.

Do men like knee pillows?

A long time ago, when I saw my father coming home, my mother knelt down to welcome him back, and then my father fell down towards my mother, resting on her lap, just like Ibaraki’s situation now.

"Brother...would they object to us? They haven't visited me for a long time." I touched Ibaraki's corner and found that it didn't feel good, so I went to touch his face.

"So what about objection, can they stop it?" He pillowed on my lap and closed his eyes, as if very comfortable.

"A disrespectful person like me is hated by them, and I don't know how to face big brother and them in the future."

"Human morality doesn't apply to monsters. I only know that you are my woman."

"Could you please get up? I've got to go find them and explain."

Ibaraki refused to get up, exhaled evenly, as if falling asleep.

He is really domineering when he is in my way and still unwilling to give in.I don't dare to move my knees now, because it would be very painful to let Ibaraki's head fall on the hard wooden board.Ibaraki's long red hair was half-pressed by my body, and I kindly helped to pull it out with my hands.

I gently grabbed it with my hand, and there was a large handful of hair in my hand.

The first reaction when I stared at this hair was: Is he losing his hair?

Although Ibaraki's age is quite old, anything can happen to monsters who live hundreds of years old, and it's normal to lose a little hair, but it shouldn't be so much.Normally, it's not a big problem to lose a few or dozens of hairs, but this hair is a bundle of hair...

I suspected that my eyes were wrong, and when I looked down, I saw a small piece of Ibaraki's scalp!

I rubbed my eyes, looked at it carefully again, and even touched the hairless scalp with my hand in disbelief, and with a flick of my hand, a large handful of red hair fell off from the scalp.

"Izu... Ibaraki-sama... your head... your hair..." I hurriedly shook Ibaraki awake, not knowing what words to use for a while.

Ibaraki turned over, raised his paw reflexively to touch his hair, and asked in a daze, "Huh? What's wrong with your hair?"

"Please stop scratching! I'm half bald..." After being scratched by himself, from the vacated scalp just now, the hair began to easily fall off the ground along the position of his claws.

"My... my hair!"

It was only then that Ibaraki realized that he got up from my lap and looked at the pile of hair on the floor.For the first time, he showed that nervous expression, coupled with his half-bald head...

I... want to laugh out loud.

I've heard the story of the one-night bald man many times, but this is the first time I've seen a man who was bald for a moment.

"What's going on, could it be Lord Ibaraki...the reason why Lord Ibaraki has such long hair is... a wig?" I guessed, covering my mouth with my sleeve.

No, maybe Qingming's father bought him a set of fake skins back then.The quality of things is not very good recently, and this possibility is not ruled out.

"Nonsense! My hair was delivered at a real price. It must be that kid doing something!" Ibaraki was so angry that he punched the floor with his fist, and the floor immediately emitted smoke and a hole was formed.

"Sister Ibaraki?" I feel sorry for the floor, but also I feel sorry for Ibaraki. Whenever I talk about the kid, I think of Sister Ibaraki.

"Who else would dare to play me like this? I'll go to her to settle accounts now!" Ibaraki was angry, and...with a half-bald head, he turned around and prepared to leave my side to find someone.

I really want to laugh... I can't help it.

"Heh... cough cough..." I couldn't hold back the laughter, and swallowed it from my throat, using a fake cough to cover it up.

Ibaraki suddenly froze, turned his head, looked at me, and said, "You, did you laugh just now?"

I looked away, shook my head, and refused to admit it: "No, Lord Ibaraki, people who don't have a heart can't laugh."

Even if you don't have a heart, you can laugh. Even if you don't show a smile, you can still laugh.If Ibaraki is like this now, if he walks on the garden... I can't imagine...
