tangled ivy

Weiyu drooped the bags under his eyes, his whole body was downcast, and even the strands of hair were drooping weakly.

After class, without saying a word, he lay down on the table and took a short nap.

The dream is a temple, like most temples in Japan. In the small temple, sandalwood is lingering. In the old wooden house, the wooden spoon beside the hand washing table is gently placed on the stone plate. The tranquil and clear water Like a mirror, it reflects the sky, the sky is gray, and occasionally a petal falls, sinks and floats in the water, and dresses up the dark sky.

"No words..."

"No words..."

Standing in front of the small temple, a thick, milk-like mist gradually filled the air.

The voice of shouting came from all directions, and Weiyu's eyes were full of confusion.

"No words..."

Weiyu struggled to open his eyes, it has been three days in a row, as long as he falls asleep, it must be this dream.The muffled voice sounded very familiar.

"Weiyu, it's really rare!"

Asuka turned around and said this inexplicably.

"What's so rare?" Weiyu blinked, as if she was still confused.

"Really, didn't you have a dinner date with someone else before? You ignored me all the time..." Asuka wiped the dry corners of her eyes with her hands, pretending to be sad.

Normally, Weiyu would have squinted her eyes and smiled, then teased: "Why, are you jealous?"

However, Weiyu at this time did not have such a mood.

There is still a bento quietly in the backpack, but the little boy has not appeared for three days, but where can I find it?He must be very angry.

Weiyu shook his head, it seems that the key is still the dream.

"Asuka, do you know if there is a temple or something nearby?"

"..." Asuka still had a fried shrimp in the corner of her mouth. The fried shrimp that should have been in Wei Yu's mouth looked at Wei Yu in astonishment.

"Weiyu, haven't you visited school well?"

Don't look at me like you've seen an alien! !asshole!

"Our Luoshan High School is the only school in Japan that is located in a world heritage!! This is in the Toji Temple of Japan! Look, it is the tallest five-storied pagoda in Japan..."

No words...

Following Asuka's line of sight, Weiyu vaguely saw the blue tiles, the white high strength, and the flying corners, looming in the verdant green branches and leaves, solemn and solemn.

Although it is the highest in Japan

.......

But Weiyu, who is used to seeing the high-flying tower... I think it's really not that high. What's the matter...

amount……

The focus is wrong,

! !

Why didn't I find out that this place is actually in a temple! !

How big is it!

asshole! !

Weiyu set off towards the five-storied pagoda as soon as school was over, giving up the recent practice method. In fact, she wanted to give up a long time ago. She picked up her schoolbag and set off straight to her destination.

When the cicadas sing,

When light shatters,

The gentle wind, holding the scissors of the green leaves, cut off the slender sunlight and stuck it tightly on the mottled floor. The bluestone-like floor instantly became beautiful, shining like a dream.

Weiyu walked forward step by step along the high stone steps.

The vermilion thousand torii gates prop up the bright blue sky, and the intersection of red and blue makes human beings small.

The fox carved in stone shows a sly smile, the red rope around the neck flutters in the wind, the huge bell, the long hemp rope, and the low grass, everything looks so weird.

He said he came here to look for it, but it should be difficult to find it, if he is still angry with himself.

No words and sighs,

Really, I didn't really deceive him, it's just that both of them misunderstood.

That little boy regarded me as a demon, and I regarded him as a human being...

just because of,

each other in their own world,

so similar,

The lack of understanding in the heart is longing for...

are chasing after...

Therefore, when the other party appears,

We ignore the facts, and walk according to what we think in our hearts.

Thinking back, the moment they both saw through each other, almost exactly the same expressions were reflected in their eyes.

In the past few days, Weiyu also felt very disappointed. Although he really saw the senior demon exorcising master, but for the lack of this small friendship, the regret and the stupefaction were hard to forget.

However, it doesn't matter if you are a human or a demon, the important thing is not your identity, is it?

————————————————————————————————————

The blood-red sunset burned the last bit of heat of life, and it seemed to be ruthless, trying to roast the land, but after all, it couldn't stand the time, and slowly degenerated in unwillingness.

"Natsume Weiyu, I advise you to stay away from that boy."

Black shattered hair, slightly curly hair ends, flat eyes with a pair of disdainful eyes.

This person, who claimed to be Yahashi Kazuhiko, the demon extermination master, officially met Weiyu in this quiet gymnasium after school. However, this was the first sentence after the meeting, and Weiyu subconsciously He frowned, looked at the boy who was sitting on the saddle, and turned his head again, looking at the boy who came in without permission, even though he was older than himself.

Yahashi Kazuhiko never thought about meeting the girl formally, it turned out to be like this.

When I went to look for her in her class before, I was always told that the girl was not there, and even that guy Juzi gloated and wanted to intervene, just joking, if this goes on, the joke is really big, okay?

However, the emperor paid off. Today, he finally found out that the girl would practice in the gymnasium. He always wanted to have a good chat. A young man who is not much different from himself, someone who can see,

you,

Can they understand each other?

However, things are always unexpected, as soon as you come in, you can feel this strange atmosphere.

That monster actually lost its aura and turned into a human being...

"Hmph, a mere demon extermination master, what qualifications do you have to dictate here..."

"Ha, what are you, as a monster, what do you want to do by infiltrating humans, or what do you want to do to this idiot?"

monster?

Hey?

No way!

Weiyu's pupils shrank slightly, with an unbelievable expression on his face, he turned his head like a machine, and looked at the boy...

"You...you are...youkai?"

"Natsume-senpai, don't you think she is a human being? Even if she hides the aura of being a demon, compared to a human being..."

but,

Him, the breath on his body, and his own...

Very similar.

"Really? I thought you were human...?" Weiyu's words revealed that V was lost.

The little boy wrinkled his little face,

"You, you still want to play with humans!!" There was faint anger.

"Human beings are hypocritical, you still want to be with them, are you an idiot? They will only hurt you..."

Before the boy finished speaking, Kazuhiko interrupted.

"As a human being, Weiyu is not on the side of monsters if she doesn't stay with humans. If humans will harm their own kind, do you think that being a different kind will protect her?"

Full of irony.

Just as the boy opened his mouth to say something, suddenly his pupils shrank.

Humanity!

! !

Do not make jokes!

What is this exorcist talking about!Weiyu is human?

"How could such an aura be human!! Such a powerful monster power..."

The boy saw that those amber eyes were already glistening with crystal tears...

"So, you are...a human...haha! This is the first time for me..."

To make such a poor judgment, it is a human being,

in this way…..

wrong wrong...

The boy looked decadent,

How could it be human?Mingming would joke with me, treat me like a younger brother, and when I was hurt, he would cry and help me with medicine...

How could it be human?

Liars, all human beings are liars...

It must be trying to win my favor, let me relax and get rid of me! !

asshole,

Looking at the two humans with almost hateful scarlet eyes,

"You guys, don't try to get rid of me!!"

"No!" Weiyu exclaimed in astonishment,

"I just thought..."

The smoke rose and the boy faded away into the dusk.

You are human...

I never thought of hurting you...

The unspoken heart was sour and numb, as if something had been torn apart, and it hurt so much.

Can't get back to God for a long time.

Yahashi sighed,

What a simple child.

Rubbing the girl's drooping head with her hands,

"That monster is not easy, Natsume, you have to be careful..."

"but,"

The girl's voice was trembling and crying,

"He... didn't hurt me..."

"When he hurts you, that's not the case."

Yahashi frowned, thinking how to comfort her, she was a girl after all.

"That monster, rather than possessing powerful monster power, might as well say that it has near-divine power. Such monsters usually appear near temples and shrines. Although they won't do anything bad, they are monsters after all, so they are different from us. have to exist..."

"Then...then we can't be friends with them?"

Weiyu suddenly raised his head, the tears in his eyes flowed out, like pearls, shining brightly,

"Why... monsters... can't."

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and also confused.

Yes,

why,

Are the monsters going to be removed?

Is their existence really only harmful to human beings?

The two were relatively speechless,

I just stood there in a daze.

The author has something to say: There is still no Akashi Daiichi, and there are still six days until Akashi Daidai’s birthday, I have no preparations...

Because there is still a month to go to the final exam, I found out that I went to college..... I didn't learn anything TT

I can't even understand what's going on in the book! !

I don't want to fail! !

Akashi, I wish you a happy birthday in advance, share your IQ with me...
