This introduces the new anime "Beyond the Realm"

Don’t worry too much if you haven’t seen it, it’s simply an anime with a worldview similar to that of a worldview of enchanters/onmyojis and monsters

Think of youmu as a monster, and the outsider as an onmyoji, and understand that the outsider will chase youmu, and the concept that youmu will turn into stone after being defeated will be fine√

Isn't it super simple!Does not affect reading!mmm mmm mmm (shut up

By the way, the other side of the realm is very good, only 13 episodes are worth watching (shut up

……

Time flies, more than two years and three years have passed smoothly, and in a blink of an eye, both of them are sixteen or seventeen years old.

It was another summer evening that Fengxin didn't like very much.Because Luo took a small boat to a nearby island to carry out the entrusted mission the day before, so no matter whether it was today's dinner or the firewood for this week's stove replenishment, Fengxin had to prepare it by himself.

So, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, even though he avoided the sun, Fengxin set off alone with an umbrella.

The accident happened after Fengxin hunted down a wild boar on the mountain.

Just when Fengxin picked up a wild boar from the ground and was thinking about how to cook the wild boar, a strange-looking monster that she had never seen before but knew how to fly suddenly came out of the jungle and attacked her—— The monster's speed was extremely fast, and its appearance looked indescribably weird to Fengxin. However, based on his fighting instinct, feeling the danger, Fengxin still picked up a stone from the ground and threw it in the direction of the monster without saying a word. .

Then, the small stone precisely hit the monster's abdomen, causing the monster to make a strange scream, and then fell to the ground.

"..." Fengxin stood on the spot and saw that the monster with strange patterns on his body seemed to be out of breath, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and carried a wild boar close to the monster that was only half her height, hoping to find out its true nature. body.

"It's been almost three years in Yanzi Mountain, and I haven't seen such a creature." Feng Xin lowered his eyes, and reached out to touch the strange thing again.However, just when she was about to approach and check the monster, the monster that was seriously injured by her floated up in an instant, a faint light emitted from the monster's body, and after a split second, the monster turned into a piece Stone.

Feng Xin's lowered hand was frightened by this incident and froze in the air. Looking at the strange phenomenon in front of him, a certain memory in Feng Xin's mind immediately came to mind - because she was in the past, long before Feng Xin came to this world. , A girl named Kanbara Nagi once told her about it.

Just say: In this world, there is a creature called "Yumeng" that normal people can't see.

Yomu is similar to the monsters in Japanese mythology.Among them, some Youmeng will do evil, and some Youmeng will live in peace with humans.And the evil dream will be wiped out by aliens—that is, humans with spiritual abilities.

After being eliminated, Youmu will turn into stones of various shapes.

...just like what Fengxin saw in front of his eyes.

And the job of the earthling who talked to her, Nagi Kanbara, was responsible for recovering the Youmeng Stone.There are large and small stones in her shop, some stones have crystals of different colors shining on them, and some are plain - but no matter what kind of stones they are, they are all transformed by Youmeng.

"It's amazing." Fengxin looked at the stone and sighed softly, and the scene when she had a conversation with Nagi Kanbara that day appeared in her mind.

【"Youmu and aliens, is that like the concept of Japanese monsters and onmyoji?" At that time, playing with Youmu's spar, Fengxin asked calmly.

"It's surprising, I didn't expect you to know about Onmyoji..." The girl in kimono named Nagi blinked her eyes, then tilted her head and said.

"I saw it in a book by accident." Fengxin explained.

"Youkai..." Nagi propped her chin, thought for a long time, then nodded——for a long time, then shook her head: "It's still wrong, because compared to Japanese youkai with all kinds of anecdotes, I think Youmeng is simpler. Most of them have no self-awareness, they are pure monsters..." Then, Nagi slowly explained a lot. 】

"So in this world, do Youmu also exist?" And since when did she also become a "seeing" person?Fengxin squatted down, and picked up the stone that the monster turned into without thinking too much.

Then, I don't know if it was her illusion, rubbing that wonderful stone, Fengxin felt a little warmth from it.

……

...

The sky is full of red clouds.

"Did you just come down from the mountain?"

Just as Fengxin went down the mountain, on the street back to Citrus Village, a man with long black hair suddenly stopped her.

And Fengxin, who was carrying a wild boar in his hand, stopped and looked back, met the man's deep eyes, and nodded calmly: "Yes."

Fengxin looked at the man - she remembered that the man in front of her was a well-known strange man in the village.According to what Fengxin learned from other villagers, this man often appears and disappears in the village. He opened a small shop somewhere in Citrus Village. Almost no one patronizes the small shop, and he basically doesn't talk to other people or participate in it. Any activity in the village.

"What do you want from me?" Thinking that since she was such a lonely and strange person, Feng Xin, who felt that it was impossible for a man to talk to her without anything to do, spoke sharply and directly.

After all, she thought about it again—perhaps, this was the first time she had met this man’s eyes since she lived in Citrus Village for many years, so she looked at him a few more times—only when she saw that the man in front of her was about With a height of more than 1.8 meters, he has a handsome face and fair skin; his long jet-black hair is draped softly behind him. At first glance, he should be far younger than the villagers describe; A robe and blouse, but that slightly decadent attire actually suits him a bit.

The man stood at the entrance of the back mountain of Yanzi Village with a smile that was not a smile, and stood in the center of Fengxin's home road with arms crossed. The two looked at each other for a long time, until Fengxin felt like leaving, the man narrowed his eyes and asked: "...What are you holding?"

"Wild boar." Feng Xin replied without hesitation.

"It's about what's in your right pocket." The man shook his head, and approached Fengxin with easy steps.

Feng Xin was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, she first lowered her eyes to look at the pocket on the right, and then took out the stone emitting a faint green light in the pocket and showed it to the man.

—how did this guy know she had rocks in her pocket?

Fengxin held up the stone without saying a word, and noticed that after the man saw the stone, the corners of his mouth rose even higher. He looked down at Fengxin, which was only about 1.5 meters high, and then picked up the stone and opened his mouth : "Since you came to Swallow Island, I have been thinking that if you can also participate in the work of eliminating Youmeng, then we will be much more relaxed-I didn't expect that today, you can also see Youmu."

Feng Xin was slightly taken aback.

What does he mean by that? Does he know about Youmeng?

……

"How did you get this stone..."

"Are you an outsider?" Before he finished listening to the man's words, after hearing Youmu from him, Fengxin asked without saying a word.

Speaking of it, she also understood a little bit why the villagers said he was acting weird, unexpectedly stopped in the middle of the road to block the way for others to go home, and told others about demon dreams and exorcising demons without hesitation... These things , for people who can't see or feel it, it must be a fantasy, right?

However, Feng Xin, who knows everything, will naturally not be afraid of him.

When the Mofa man heard Feng Xin's words, he was stunned for a while, and then laughed out loud: "Feng Xin, I really didn't expect you to know about the aliens. I didn't expect how to talk to you Explaining the matter of the stone, but it turns out that you know, it really saves time. I am really interested in you."

"I just heard it from my friends before." Hearing the man started talking more and more, Feng Xin explained calmly, and suddenly understood the reason why the man was resisted by the villagers - after all, although he can see things that others can't see , but it’s still normal to be ostracized like this, isn’t it?

"Yes." The man looked at Fengxin seriously, looking at her indifferent face, which showed a maturity and calmness that did not match her age and appearance, so he stopped talking nonsense and stretched out his hand: "...My name is Lian. If you get stones in the future, you can trade them with me."

Fengxin thought for a while, but didn't take his hand, just nodded obediently, and explained: "Okay, although I usually can't see it, but if I can still get the stone, I will give it to you."

Lian tilted her head, seeing that Feng Xin didn't intend to shake hands with him, she put down her arm indifferently, seeing that she was already planning to pass him and leave, she pursed her lips and said without authorization: "... By the way, you have heard that Is there a saying? At dusk, when day and night alternate, because the boundaries between time and the world become blurred, people who are 'invisible' can easily see things that are usually 'invisible' at this time."

"That's called Encountering Demons." Feng Xin stopped, and looked back at Lian with indifferent eyes.

"It seems that you really know a lot." Lian sneered, and put her hands on Fengxin's shoulders more and more interestingly, holding her slender shoulders, a pair of deep and beautiful eyes slowly narrowed: "Don't worry, once people 'open their eyes', it's not so easy to 'close' them."

He said meaningfully, and Fengxin, who was resting on his shoulders, smelled the tobacco smell emanating from the man's body, and frowned slightly - she didn't like this smell very much.But compared to this, she cared more about the fact that she suddenly saw Youmeng—so Fengxin thought about it, and finally asked the question: "So, do you know why I suddenly opened my eyes?"

"About this, do you know?" Lian looked at her with a smile and said, "Youmeng will also attack the same kind - if you don't have spiritual power, maybe it is some of your characteristics that make them misunderstand ?”

……

...

certain qualities?

The calm expression on Fengxin's face hesitated for a moment, and he noticed the heat coming from the man's palm, which formed a clear contrast with her icy body.But speaking of which, what qualities does she have?Night Rabbit's fighting power?If that's the case, it doesn't make sense that she hasn't seen Youmu with her own eyes on her original planet.

If there is any difference between her now and before...

That is freezing temperatures, and a heart that no longer beats.

Thinking of this, Fengxin's eyes changed instantly.

"It seems that you already have some clues." Lian smiled mysteriously.

"You..." Feng Xin frowned, why does this guy look like he knows about her?

The man looked at her with a smile: "Huh?"

"You..." Feng Xin frowned, looking at the man's playful eyes, although his eyes seemed to be able to see everything, but an intuition that would not get the answer from him appeared in Feng Xin's confidence, He also asked her to give up the idea of ​​continuing to deal with Lian: "I'll go back anyway."

"Anything." Lian didn't hold back, noticing the sudden change in her words, and as if she had expected it, she held up the Youmeng Stone just now, placed it under the sunset for careful examination, and then replied with a smile: " It's a pity that this can only be exchanged for a low price."

"I don't care." Fengxin tilted his head: "Just take the stone if you like."

"I won't take other people's things in vain." Lian raised the corner of her mouth, took out a few coins from her pocket, took Fengxin's hand and put it down on her palm, touching her fingertips, Lian smiled and said : "Looking forward to the next time you will bring me more valuable demons."

Fengxin took the coin and left without saying a word.
