It's Hongye, not Nobunaga

Natsume Takashi's reason for coming to Shimizu Koye is actually very simple - he has encountered a difficult monster again.

However, rather than saying that he met him, it would be better to say that all the family members he is staying in now have been entangled by that monster.

When Shimizu Hongye heard this, she turned her head to one side, "I understand the general situation, but now is not the time to talk too much."

"I still have the training of the archery department here, how about Natsume-kun waiting for me here?"

She leaned sideways on the door frame, slightly bent her right foot against the door, and made a gesture of invitation to Natsume Takashi: "After the matter is over, I will go to the scene with you to take a look."

"Okay." Natsume Takashi did not refuse, nodded and walked in.

Shimizu Hongye closed the door, walked to his side and pointed to the spectator seats next to him, and walked back to the members who were training without saying anything.

Everyone who was secretly gossiping about whether the strange boy who was brought in was the minister's boyfriend, also restrained themselves instantly at this moment.

"Ueno, your movement is wrong! Raise your arm up ten degrees!"

"Yes--!"

As soon as Shimizu Hongye came back, he caught a person's current behavior, and everyone was shocked, so they once again devoted themselves to training, not daring to be lazy at all.

The tense nerves were stretched until the end of the Kyudo department. It was not until Sakai Tsubaki announced that the department was over that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Koyo Shimizu made a gesture to Takashi Natsume, then walked into the dressing room next door, and when she came out, she had already changed into the suit and uniform of Hyotei.

"Let's go."

"OK……"

Natsume Takashi looked at her gentle appearance with her black hair loose after she untied the hair tie, for a while, he couldn't connect her with the general who was enough to overwhelm many people just because of his aura.

The two walked out of Bingdi side by side, and headed towards the house where Takashi Natsume was currently staying.

"Uncle and aunt went away yesterday, so I'm the only one here today."

While opening the door, Natsume Takashi briefly told Shimizu Hongye about the family's affairs. After entering the entrance, he took out a pair of beige slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on the ground: "You can wear these slippers first. .”

"it is good."

Shimizu Hongye put on her slippers and walked into the living room with him, looked around, and landed on the coffee table as she sat down.

"It usually doesn't appear until nightfall."

Natsume Takashi opened the refrigerator next to him: "There are orange juice and Coke in the refrigerator, what do you want to drink?"

"Orange juice is fine."

Soon a glass of iced orange juice was placed in front of her, and a coaster was thoughtfully placed on it to prevent the condensation on the outside of the glass from getting wet on the coffee table.

Shimizu Hongye took a sip of the orange juice, nodded her eyebrows with her fingertips before speaking: "Now you can talk about it in detail."

Natsume Takashi nodded: "It appeared about three days ago, at least it was three days ago when I saw her."

"In the beginning, she just moved some decorations in the house, and then she started to move the furniture. And last night, she almost pushed her uncle and aunt down from upstairs."

"It's not just a prank..."

Although Natsume Takashi said it simply, Shimizu Hongye can probably still imagine the scene at that time: "What does it look like?"

"It's not the same as what I usually see. Compared with monsters, I think it's more like a ghost who died tragically."

Natsume Takashi recalled: "It's a woman with disheveled hair and can't see her face clearly, but you can see the blood on her head and body."

Shimizu Hongye touched her chin thoughtfully: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, Natsume-kun."

"That woman should have come here for revenge."

She put the cup back on the coaster: "It may be the woman who died because of your uncle and aunt, because she was too resentful, so she came to seek revenge."

"From your description, she should have been miserable before she died. Even in this way, do you want me to destroy her?"

Natsume Takashi opened his mouth, and he spoke after a while: "If it's like this..."

"Then I hope she can go to the next life."

This answer was similar to what Shimizu Hongye had guessed, and she laughed "haha": "If you want to send her to die, you are looking for the wrong person."

"I believe you."

Natsume Shiki looked at her: "Even if you don't destroy her, you still have a way."

"You really trust me blindly."

Shimizu Hongye leaned back, and sank into the soft sofa: "Such a simple Natsume-kun, it really makes people want to be dyed in other colors..."

"Shimizu-san."

Natsume Takashi met her teasing eyes and coughed softly: "If there is really no other way, then it's okay..."

"I'll help you out."

Shimizu Hongye interrupted him, causing the boy to blink in surprise: "However, you have to promise me one thing accordingly."

"what?"

"Give me some spiritual power." She put her hand on Natsume Takashi's head, and rubbed it with a smile.

-

Shimizu Hongye said that she asked Natsume Takashi to distribute spiritual power to herself, but in fact it only absorbed a small part of the excess spiritual power released from outside.

Not only will this not cause any burden to him, but it will also save him from being chased by monsters like last time for a while.

Of course, she would not tell Natsume Takashi about these things.

Shimizu Hongye just scared him that he might die, but the other party still agreed, she was so gentle that she couldn't bear it.

After absorbing the spiritual power, she leaned on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest for a while, until she smelled the aroma of food, she opened her eyes: "Natsume-kun, can you still cook?"

"It's going to be a little easier."

Natsume Takashi brought the dishes to the table next to him: "Let's have dinner first, it will be dark in a while."

"Okay."

Shimizu Hongye stood up, looking a little better than before.

The two sat there facing each other and had dinner. As time passed, the dim yellow sky outside also began to darken.

As night fell completely, Shimizu Hongye stood by the window facing the yard in the living room, looked at the dark sky outside, and suddenly opened the glass door.

The wind blowing outside raised her long hair, covering half of her face, but it couldn't hide the coldness in her eyes.

"Come out."

She suddenly looked at a corner of the yard, and a gust of wind blew from there, gradually showing the appearance of the tragic female ghost that Natsume Takashi said.

This appearance is indeed very scary, especially when it appears there suddenly, if other people see it, it will definitely scream, but Shimizu Hongye just looked at her calmly, waved her hand to stop her ready to pounce, and put her soul Stuck in place.

"Ahh-!"

She can no longer speak human language, and can only let out a beast-like roar from her throat. Her red eyes fell into Shimizu Hongye's eyes, and she whistled: "It can evolve in such a short period of time. To this point..."

"Is someone helping you?"

Shimizu Hongye was wearing slippers and stepped on the lawn in the yard. She was completely unaware of the female ghost's growling warning. She walked up to her and raised her hand to lift up her long hair that covered her face, revealing her bloody face and forehead. The two tentacles that have just grown up have only a little raised tentacles.

Natsume Takashi also saw this scene: "What is this?"

"Prairie."

Shimizu Hongye touched the top of the tentacles: "To be precise, it is the unformed Bai Banruo."

"Is she dangerous?" Natsume Takashi looked at her with worry in his eyes, probably worried that she would be hurt by this ghost.

Such eyes made Shimizu Hongye smile: "For ordinary people, yes, but in front of me..."

Her index finger and middle finger were bent together, clasped on the woman's antennae, and forcibly pulled out the two young horns that had just grown.

The woman howled in pain, but no one could hear it except Shimizu Hongye and Natsume Takashi.

"that……"

"It's not a bad thing to remove her grievances."

Shimizu Hongye held the two small horns in her hands, looked at them and the black air coming out of the woman's forehead, and squeezed the small horns into the palm of her hand with a fist: "However, before that, I really didn't Thinking of it, it will evolve into Prajna."

She raised the woman's chin, so that the woman who was kneeling on the ground because of the pain looked at her, her face under the moonlight was no longer as ferocious as before, but those eyes were still full of hatred.

"It's really troublesome..." However, it is also a good thing.

Shimizu Hongye sighed in a low voice, where Natsume Takashi couldn't see, she absorbed the resentment entangled in the other party into her body little by little.

There is nothing wrong with the human body being fragile. This kind of power is indeed dangerous, but if it is used well, it will not be a bad thing.

And she was the red leaf called "Togakushi Ghost Girl" back then.

Shimizu Hongye's eyes had a different redness than usual, the more resentment he absorbed, the deeper the redness became.

"……Are you OK?"

Natsume Takashi, who didn't dare to disturb her until the black energy on the woman's body completely disappeared, opened his mouth tentatively.

"Well, it's okay." Shimizu Hongye withdrew her hand and fiddled with her temple hair.

His eyes fell on the woman who had almost lost her ability to move again: "Then she..."

"Don't worry, it won't appear again in the future."

The woman's figure gradually faded, and turned into a black phoenix-tailed butterfly on the spot, and landed on Shimizu Hongye's raised finger.

She lifted her arm up slightly, and the butterfly flapped its wings and flew towards the night and the moon.

"Where did she go?"

"As you wish." Shimizu Hongye looked back at him, her blood-red eyes were devoid of any emotion: "To be reborn."

"Past life..."

Natsume Takashi nodded upon hearing the words: "Are your eyes really okay?"

"Well, it will be fine in a while."

Shimizu Hongye raised her hand and touched the corners of her eyes, turned around and walked into the living room, picked up the uniform bag on the sofa: "The matter is settled, I'll go back first."

"but……"

"If I stay, maybe I'll suck you dry?"

She looked over with a smile and made the boy shut up: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Ok."

Natsume Takashi didn't force her, and sent her to the door of the house.

The color of Shimizu Hongye's eyes has gradually returned to normal, and only when you look carefully can you find the dark red in them.

"Then, I'll go first."

"it is good……"

She waved to Natsume Takashi, and just when she was about to leave, she heard a voice from the side: "Xiao Shimizu?"

Natsume Takashi looked over there.

"Kise-kun...?"
