Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 413 The Story of the Little Carp 2
night.

The night in Kagawa County is exceptionally quiet. At this moment, most of the villagers have already fallen asleep.

Chen Beibei and the others sat in the yard of Yugiri Taketori's house and told stories.

Taketori Yugiri's mother and father slept in their room, but they could often hear voices coming from their room, probably because Chen Beibei and the others were leaving tomorrow.

So Taketori Yugiri's parents probably had trouble sleeping tonight.

"Brother, hurry up and continue."

Taketori Yugiri looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

Obviously, this story has made Yugiri Taketori interested. After all, for a child like Yugiri Taketori, listening to stories is a very enjoyable thing.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei nodded, and then continued.

"After the little carp reached the transformation stage, he began to worry about what kind of human being he changed into.

In the past, although he was caught by a fisherman, the little carp went to the human world once.

but.

At that time, the little carp was packed in a bucket and could not see the appearance of other humans at all.

Later, the little boy bought the little carp.

Since then, the little carp has been packed in a plastic bag, and the severe suffocation has made it very uncomfortable.So much so that I didn't pay attention to the appearance of human beings.The only thing I clearly remember is the appearance of that little boy.

but.

The little carp is female, so it cannot be transformed into a little boy.

The little carp finally decided to go to the human world again to see what a human female looks like.

After all, it has been a long time since reaching the stage of transformation.

If it doesn't change its shape, it may always look like a carp.

This is definitely a very fatal thing for ordinary monsters. "

"Then the little carp will not encounter danger when it goes to the human world?"

Taketori Yugiri asked.

"Of course it will."

Chen Beibei replied.

Humans eat fish, and the small carp still looks like a fish, and it goes to the human world, once it is discovered by humans.Still very dangerous.

"I'm so worried that something will happen to the little carp."

Taketori Yugiri said.

"Xiao Xiwu, don't worry, little carp will be fine, after all, little carp is a kind little monster."

Chen Beibei said.

"Little carp started to wander around places where boats often moored all day long, because in such places, it is very likely to encounter humans.

Moreover, because the little carp is always in the water, even if it encounters humans, it can easily escape.

During this period of time, Little Carp met all kinds of humans.

Among them were beautiful women, lovely children, and men who liked to tell adventure stories.

soon.

The little carp also chose the appearance of a human being who determined that he needed to change.

Is a 16-year-old human girl.

Pure, cute, beautiful, with a youthful female appearance...

After becoming a human, the little carp still lives in the sea, but it is no longer safe to live in shallow water.

Among the carp spirits, all the carp spirits who have passed the metamorphosis period are uniformly arranged to live on a mysterious isolated island.

It was an isolated island in the middle of the sea with few people.There, the carp spirit that has turned into a human can live in relative safety.

Although Little Carp also wanted to go there, but now she has been kicked out by the priest.And told her never to go back.

The little carp had no choice but to continue living in the sea.

But after turning into a human, the life of the little carp became more troublesome.

Sometimes she would meet a boat at sea, and those people on the boat would look at her in horror.

Sometimes even a search and rescue plane would hand her a rope.

When humans saw her, they were very nervous. Obviously, she could no longer appear in front of humans. "

"Didn't the little carp turn into a cute and beautiful girl? Why do humans panic and get nervous when they see her?"

Taketori Yugiri asked.

"Because the little carp still lives in the sea after it becomes a human being. If you saw a beautiful girl swimming fast in the sea, wouldn't you feel scared?"

Chen Beibei looked at Taketori Yugiri and asked her.

Taketori Yugiri tilted his head, thought for a while, and then said, "No way."

"That's because Taketori Yugiri knew that it was a girl who was transformed into a carp spirit that would not harm humans. That's why she wasn't afraid, but the crew members who sailed at sea didn't know that.

In the mouths of the crew, there are stories of mermaids and ghost ships.

The beautiful mermaids on the sea will sing beautiful songs to attract passing ships, if anyone is bewitched by those songs.Then it will definitely disappear in the sea.

Beautiful maidens and beautiful mermaids look alike, don't they? "

Chen Beibei looked at Yugiri Taketori and explained to her.

"Hmm, so that's the case."

Taketori Yugiri replied.

"After Little Carp turned into a girl, life has become more difficult.

Often fall into the predicament of being discovered by humans.

but.

When the little carp was avoiding the sight of humans, the little carp found a human being on the bottom of the sea one day.

When the little carp saw the human, the human lay quietly on the bottom of the sea, as if asleep.

The little carp approached carefully.

The human lay quietly on his stomach, completely unresponsive, as if he was dead.

The little carp turned the human over.

It was a male human being, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and looked quite handsome.

No matter how the little carp called that human, that human never responded.In the end, Little Carp had to admit that this human being was actually dead.

The little carp guarded the human body for a while.

When waking up one morning, something suddenly occurred to Little Carp's mind.

'little boy……'

Looking at the human corpse in front of him, the little carp suddenly thought of the little boy who put himself back into the sea many years ago. "

When Chen Beibei said this, he paused for a while. After all, he had been talking for so long and was already a little tired.

"Is it really that little boy?"

Taketori Yugiri asked quickly.

Obviously, at this time, Taketori Yugiri did not want Chen Beibei to stop.

"Well, that corpse is indeed the little boy who put the little carp back into the sea many years ago.

When the little boy was fishing in the sea, he encountered an accident and died accidentally. "

Chen Beibei replied.

"It's a pity that such a good little boy died like this."

Taketori Yugiri said.

The death of the little boy was actually very surprising. After all, the little boy was a kind child in the story.It should have a good ending.

"Well, let me continue."

After Chen Beibei spoke, he continued.

"After the little carp discovered that the human corpse was a little boy, he made a decision.

——Bring the little boy back to life!
However, such a difficult task as resurrecting human beings is almost impossible for the little carp.

after all.

Little carp is just a little monster, her mana is not strong, and she can't do things like bringing the dead back to life.

So the little carp thought of the priest of the carp spirits, the old carp spirit with tens of thousands of years of cultivation.

This is the first time the little carp went back after being driven out.

In fact, the carp spirit didn't have any malice towards the little carp, but the priest drove away the carp spirit again angrily.

Priests hate humans.

It is impossible to help the little carp revive a lost human being, this is the fact that the little carp has to accept.

In the following days.

The little carp stayed next to the human corpse every day, and the corpse had been in the sea for a long time.

Something unusual is starting to happen.

The human corpse began to swell and slowly floated up.

The little carp dragged the corpse that surfaced to the bottom of the sea, and tied it up with plants on the bottom of the sea.

but.

This only prevents the body from rising, but does not prevent the body from decomposing.

The little carp was very worried.

She didn't want the little boy who had saved her to just disappear in front of her.

And now the little carp has no friends.

She needs someone to accompany her, even if this person is not her kind, even if this person is just a corpse. "

"The little carp is so pitiful."

Taketori Yugiri looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.

"Not necessarily, if the little carp doesn't feel sorry for herself. It would be a little too much for us to feel sorry for her."

Chen Beibei said.

Little carp has been living such a life, although compared to us, it is indeed a bit pitiful.

but.

If Little Carp thinks his life is interesting, there are also some happy things.

Then.

This kind of pity is nothing but the imagination of outsiders.

"Well, that's the way it is."

Taketori Yugiri replied.

Obviously, at this time, Taketori Yugiri had already understood what Chen Beibei meant.

It's like the backward Kagawa County.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is a very pitiful thing to live in such a backward place without good medical conditions, good educational conditions, and good entertainment facilities.

but.

People living in Kagawa County live their own poor lives, with joys and sorrows.

I don't feel sorry for myself either.

"The little carp was worried that the boy's body would rot and disappear, so he started looking for a way to preserve the body.

The hard work paid off, and the little carp got a magical pearl from the mouth of a clam spirit.

'You put this pearl in the boy's mouth, and his body will remain so forever. '

The clam spirit said so.

The little carp took away the clam essence's pearl, but the condition was that the pearl would be returned to the boy after he was resurrected.

The little carp happily agreed.

After putting the pearl in the boy's mouth, the boy's body did not rot anymore.

Now everything is slowly getting better for the little carp.

The only thing the little carp has to deal with is some fierce fish in the sea, sometimes they will come to peck at the boy's body.

Under the protection of the little carp, the boy's body was not harmed.

Time passed little by little.

The little carp didn't know how long it had passed, but only knew that some changes had taken place on the bottom of the sea during this period of time.

Some originally flat seabeds gradually turned into high mountains.

Those mountains protrude out of the sea slowly, until they soar into the clouds, and you can't see the end at a glance.

There are also some seabeds that have become wide ravines that cannot be crossed.

The little carp accompanied the boy's body, and she stayed with him like this all the time, and she didn't know how to revive the boy.

but.

She felt that as long as this continued, the boy would come back to life.

More than 1000 years ago, the clam spirit who lent the pearl to the little carp came to find the little carp.

He asked Little Carp if that human had been resurrected, probably because he wanted to get his pearl back.

The little carp said that there was no resurrection.

More than 500 years ago, the clam essence also came to look for the small carp. At that time, the clam essence was already very large.

It looks like a giant sea turtle crawling on the bottom of the ocean.

The shell of the clam spirit is covered with green hairs, just like the beards that humans will grow when they are old.

'Isn't he alive yet? '

The clam spirit asked.

'Well, I'm sorry, clam spirit, I will definitely return it to you after he is revived. '

The little carp said apologetically.

Obviously.

The little carp was very ashamed of the clam spirit. After all, it was agreed at that time that after the boy was resurrected, he would return the pearl to the clam spirit.

Although the little carp did not violate the agreement, a long, long time has passed.

Is it 1000?

Or 2000 years?
The little carp himself couldn't remember clearly.

The clam essence was only two times earlier than the little carp, and then it seemed to have completely disappeared.

Little carp couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen the clam essence.

The little carp even took the initiative to find the clam essence, but the clam essence was no longer in its original location.

The little carp hoped that the boy would come back to life.

I also like that I can return the pearl to the clam essence.

If he could make these two wishes come true, then Little Carp would have no regrets in his life. "

"Why didn't the clam spirit go to the little carp for pearls?"

Taketori Yugiri looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"Maybe I forgot."

Chen Beibei replied.

Although Chen Beibei knew that the clam spirit was more likely to die, when facing Xiao Xiwu, who was full of innocence, Chen Beibei still chose a less cruel reason.

"So did the boy finally come back to life?"

Taketori Yugiri continued to ask.

"Resurrected. But that was a long, long time ago. The little carp doesn't know how long it was, and the boy doesn't know either."

Chen Beibei replied.

"During the time spent with the boy's body, Little Carp's life was repeated every day.

Repel fish that want to peck at the carcass.

Be careful of boats on the sea.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds and imagining the scene after the boy's resurrection, every time he thinks of this, Little Carp will show a happy smile.

one morning.

The sun shone in from the sea as usual, and the little carp was intoxicated in his beautiful imagination.

A bubble rises from the ocean floor.

Then two bubbles... three bubbles...

Those bubbles rise from the bottom of the sea and float toward the surface like clouds floating in the sky.

The little carp looked along the source of those bubbles.

I saw that the mouth of the boy's corpse was moving, as if he was talking about something..."
