Spider thread

When Kuro Reed brought Yue and Kerubelos to Tomoeda, Tokyo, Japan, it was the day when the shrine held a festival at the foot of the mountain. Before Kuro settled the things in the house, Kerberos happily announced In the evening, I got the news that the Yuefeng Shrine at the foot of the mountain held a festival.

"Crow, will you participate?" Kerberos asked expectantly, wagging his tail.

"Today, I don't have any extra time." Kuro was a little sorry, but he couldn't bear to see Kerberos' slumped face, "But, if you really want to go, you can go with a friend of mine. Together—" the rest of his words were interrupted by a cheer from Kerberos, "—go, but you need to cast a little spell." Kuro finished the rest in a low voice.

"Then, I'll leave it to you." Kuro bowed deeply to the man in the kimono, then backed out and closed the wooden door.

"Go back." He said to Yue.During Kuro's visit to the family's home, He stood outside the door and waited.

Yue followed behind Kuro without speaking, looking at the shadow between Kuro and herself.

"Yue doesn't want to go to the festival?" Kuro slowed down, and did not adjust his pace again until Yue was side by side with him. "Okita-kun said it's okay, anyway, I'm going to take my little daughter with me."

Yue shook her head, "I don't want to go to places with many people." He said.

Crow smiled and said, "That's right." He raised his head and looked up at the sky, "If only I remembered to bring a gift for my daughter." He said this half with self-mockery and half with exclamation, "However, I didn't even know that my daughter was already so old, she was already a primary school student."

Yue thought for a while, "Who is... Okita-kun?" He asked.

"It's a trustworthy friend." Kuro said, "When it comes to 'trust', it's really an incredible thing." He looked forward, "Since you don't want to go to the festival to play, after you pack your things, drink with me for a while Is tea okay?"

In the evening, at about 05:30 in the afternoon, the festival began. It was a lively scene that could be felt even on the top of the mountain, and the orange lights could be vaguely recognized.

"It's really lively." Yue looked at the foot of the mountain.

"There is no chance to regret it." Kuro also turned his gaze to the foot of the mountain, and for some reason, he seemed a little happy.

Yue looked back, "Is that shrine called 'Moon Peak Shrine'?" He asked.

"Yes." Clow replied, "It's a strange name, does Yue think so too?"

"It's a little strange that the name is not based on the name of the place or the name of the person." Yue said.

"Perhaps the person who founded this shrine really likes the moon." Kuro read the name of the shrine, "Moon Peak Shrine..."

Kuro pulled Yue's sleeve, then grabbed his wrist, and sat down under the tree almost by him (of course, he also sat down, beside Yue), which made Yue look puzzled . "Is there anything you want to ask me?" He asked, with a look of ease.

Yue bit his lip, hesitant to speak, he looked at Kuro, and then lowered his head after a few seconds. "Why did you move suddenly?" He asked, "It was the same last time, and this time too, it doesn't seem like it was planned in advance."

"Is Yue an old school?" Kuro said, putting one hand on Yue's back and smoothing out his slightly messy hair, "Tsurumaki-kun told me in the letter that this side just happened to be free. The house looks very similar to the house we used to live in England, but it’s bigger.” Clow adjusted the position of his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and finally took it down, “It just so happened that the house in England The title deed is about to expire, so I moved here." Crow paused for a while, "Sure enough, living in a similar house will make it easier to adapt, right?"

"Yes..." Yue responded, and seemed to think of something suddenly, "Hejuan-kun?"

"It's also a friend, and a friend of Okita-kun's. Occasionally, I will go to Tsukimine Shrine to help." Kuro said, "If I go now, I might meet him."

"I don't want to go." Yue tilted his head slightly, unable to say "I don't want to know this".

"I don't think it will be too late when Ruberos returns." Kuro looked towards the door of the room. "Because there are many children participating, the festival will not be held until it is completely dark."

Yue remained silent and did not speak any more, looking at the pair of glasses that Crow covered on the grass with his hand.

After a long while, Kuro said again, "I have participated in festivals with others before, or it is more appropriate to call it a 'fireworks festival'." He smiled, his face full of nostalgia, "The co-renters gather on the street, then It was still raining, and there was already a thin layer of water on the road. In the rain, under the cover of the advertising board that was picked up after falling on the road, it can be said that everyone lit the fireworks together." Ku Luo raised his head and looked at The dense leaves on the tree, "At that time, I thought it was really beautiful, so did the fireworks, and so did the thunder."

"Ray?" Yue was a little puzzled.

Kuro didn't respond to Yue's question, and pointed forward with his finger, "Look, will-o'-the-wisp." He waited until Yue blankly looked forward in the direction Kuro pointed at before explaining, "I'm just kidding."

"It's just a firefly, squatter..." Yue said, a little dissatisfied with Kuro's joke, and the light green light spots began to flicker in the courtyard at some point.

"When I was still in Hong Kong, there was always a large group of fireflies gathered in the cemetery in the summer evening. At that time, almost all the children were frightened, thinking it was the will-o'-the-wisp, which was brought by the dead under the grave who were dissatisfied with the current situation." Kuo Luo said, stretching out his hand forward, a little green light stopped in his hand, "It was so good when I was a child, I don't have to think about anything." He put his hands together, holding the tiny little light, and then slowly Put your hands together, and when you spread them out again, there is a small light green elf standing on the palms, which reminds people of Thumbelina. "Thank you," Kuro said to him.

The elves emitting light green light flew around them a few times, then retreated and disappeared, while the fireflies in the courtyard remained.

"Happy?" asked Kuro, "when I saw these lights just now."

Light didn't know how to answer the question, and put her hand on Crow's glasses, holding them again after a while.

"I'm happy. But if you're too happy, it's not good." Kuluo said to himself, and stood up before Yue could react, "I'm about to bring Kerubelos back." Halfway through, he turned around "Actually, the fireworks are very beautiful. I want Yue to take a look."

Yue was startled, then got up and followed him. "Well, I know." He said, as if he knew everything already.
