Original God's Dark Priest

"Could it be that there is someone in this world who can compete with me in the field of fishing? No, no, you guys go to the festival first, I must catch a bigger fish today!

I'll treat you to a fish feast then! Hahahaha!" After saying this, Arawaki Ichito actually left the few people behind and ran away without looking back. It seemed that he was planning to go fishing at night.

Ying and Xiao Pai looked at each other in bewilderment. That's right, it's impossible for this guy to associate Goro and Miss Hina together. Some people are just born with a screw loose in their brains.

On the other side, the one-eyed monk who was playing with Xiao Gong let out another wail: "It was almost there! The rope broke...

It’s so difficult, Sister Xiaogong, is there really a way to catch the water ball?”

The two of them had a lot of fun playing from the goldfish scooping stall to the water ball fishing stall. The one-eyed monk seemed to have a special liking for this kind of game. Although he never gained anything, he never got tired of it and became more and more courageous with each setback.

Looking at the unwilling one-eyed monk, Xiao Gong chuckled and comforted him, "Don't worry, let Sister Xiao Gong tell you the trick - in fact, it's just 'quick eyes and quick hands'!"

Xiao Gong said it as if it was a matter of course, as if it was really just a simple matter.

While the two were talking, Paimon and the other two came over and heard their conversation.

Paimon immediately became interested when he saw the water ball fishing stall: "Fishing water balls! I've seen it in light novels!"

"Would you like to try? Close one eye, aim well, and then use your skill to quickly fish it up!" Xiao Gong invited them to play with full energy.

Although little Paimeng was interested, she was too scared to actually try. She waved her hand and said, "It looks difficult. Let Ying try. If there are three of us, we need to catch at least three."

Little Paimon skillfully threw the burden to Ying. Ying looked at her helplessly, shrugged, and did not refuse.

The one-eyed monk was carefully savoring the techniques Xiao Gong had mentioned. Suddenly, he scratched his head in confusion: "Sister Xiao Gong, when I close one eye, I can't see anything..."

The corners of Xiao Gong's mouth twitched. She forgot that she was talking to the one-eyed monk. As the name suggests, the one-eyed monk... has only one eye.

Ying walked slowly to the stall and began to think about how to catch the water ball.

At a ramen stall not far from them, Kamisato Ayaka, who had just finished a battle, came with Hayate to eat ramen.

Although the final group is Kamisato Ayato's subordinate, when it comes to personal fighting skills, Kamisato Ayaka is actually better than him. And this time in the operation to clear out the monsters of the abyss, Kamisato Ayaka is the leader of the final group.

Because the matter was serious, Kamisato Ayaka told Zaoyou that this action was taken to cooperate with Saphir. If something went wrong and Saphir knew about it, no one knew what she could do given her temper.

Knowing this, Zaoyou worked much harder, so much so that she was already starving because she did not slack off, and felt that she had reached her limit.

Since Zaoyou worked so hard this time, Linghua decided to reward her, so she brought her here for a walk and a midnight snack.

"Ramen is so delicious..." Chewing the hard-earned ramen, Zaoyou showed a happy smile on her face.

Kamisato Ayaka smiled slightly: "Yeah, it feels like I haven't eaten for a long time."

Hearing the commotion here, little Paimon immediately floated over: "Huh? Linghua rarely eats ramen? It's so delicious!"

"Ah, it's you!" Kamisato Ayaka was startled and immediately looked around. After all, she had just been through a lot of running around and fighting, and she didn't even have time to take a shower or change clothes before coming here. She might have some problems with her manners.

At present, it seems that the way Paimon looks at her is still the same as usual. Kamisato Ayaka heaved a sigh of relief, coughed lightly and said to the stall owner: "Please add two bowls of ramen.

Because it is high in oil and salt, the people around me limit the number of times I can eat it... Whether it is ramen or hot pot, I can't eat it normally."

The reason she was able to eat this time was because she had just experienced high-intensity physical activity and her body needed food rich in oil and salt. Otherwise, Kamisato Ayaka might not necessarily choose to eat ramen. She might have just eaten something light like usual.

"It's really hard." Chizuru Hanyuda sighed. In her impression, those monsters have almost no food taboos, unless they are allergic, for example, ghosts will not eat beans.

Apart from these, monsters can eat whatever they want. Kamisato Ayaka couldn't even imagine a life like this.

Little Paimon also agreed: "Yes, yes, no wonder Linghua put the cake in the hot pot."

"Eh?" Hanyuda Chizuru opened her eyes wide and looked at the elegant lady with a stupid look on her face. Is this person so scary? How could someone put cake in the hot pot?

Would she also like to dip the tangerines in chili oil?

Noticing Hanyuda Chizuru's distant look, Kamisato Ayaka's embarrassment almost overflowed. She was in a state of confusion, not knowing whether to stand or sit. After thinking for a long time, she finally managed to say, "That... please forget..."

While they were talking, Zaoyou was trying hard to eat noodles. She finally finished the big bowl of ramen in front of her and patted her round belly with satisfaction: "Huh... I'm full and a little sleepy. Let me sleep for a while~"

Yes, it was time to go to bed again, which made Zaoyou happy the most! She jumped down from the chair, leaned against the stall, turned into a tumbler, and fell into a deep sleep.

Kamisato Ayaka finally got rid of her embarrassment and took the initiative to talk to Hanyuda Chizuru, changing the subject: "By the way, were there any special booths at the monster festivals in the past?"

"Well... it's a long story..." Chizuru Hanyuda looked at the bright starry sky above her head, as if she saw the Mikawa Flower Festival in the past. Every star in her eyes turned into a ball of soul fire. They were the dead monsters, looking from afar at Inazuma, whom they had tried so hard to protect.

Aren’t these thousands of lights today the most beautiful blueprint in their hearts?

Chizuru Hanyuda's voice was soft and gentle, and she spoke slowly and neither hurriedly nor slowly. Little Paimon and Kamisato Ayaka were immersed in the story she told, unable to extricate themselves. Before they knew it, the moon had reached the other end of the sky, and it would be early morning in a little while.

But the Sanchuan Flower Festival has not ended yet, because this is also the custom of the monsters. As long as night falls, the celebration will not end.

Little Paimeng summarized today's harvest: "I didn't catch a single water ball. Ying's skills have regressed!

In the end, Chizuru caught one, but she gave it to the one-eyed monk..."

"I think he seems to want it very much..." Chizuru was probably worried that Paimon would be unhappy about this, so she started to explain.

Little Paimon really felt wronged: "Paimon wants it too!"

"Then I'll catch another one for you next time." Qianhe promised without hesitation, with a doting smile on her face.

After hearing this, the little guy immediately became happy; "Great!"

The three of them talked as they walked, passing one stall after another. When they passed the campfire, Ying took out a few violets that she had thrown in not long ago.

The one that was thrown in at the beginning had already been taken out and roasted and eaten, and the one that was taken out this time was just cooked through.

In the excited eyes of little Paimeng, Ying handed it over: "Be careful of the heat."

Beside the campfire, Kappa was still staring at the flames in front of him, muttering to himself, "It's so hot, I feel like I'm going to be roasted dry."

"Don't get so close, it's better to move back a little." Wan Ye advised.

Kappa shook his head: "I know... but you don't usually see such a beautiful bonfire. I want to go to the nearest place and take a good look."

"There are so many beautiful sights in the world, there's no need to rush. The celebration is still long..." Wan Ye smiled helplessly. They were all persistent guys. Although the things they were persistent about were different, Wan Ye understood this feeling.

Ying and the others did not interrupt Manye and Kappa's conversation, but walked straight to Yae Kamiko and Kamisato Ayato who were standing nearby.

I don't know what these two people were talking about, but they had sinister smiles on their faces.

Seeing their expressions, Little Paimon couldn't help but say, "Shenzi, Ayato, your smiles are so scary..."

"Huh? Have you finished visiting the celebration?" Yae Shinko asked with concern when he saw the person coming.

Ying nodded: "I've walked around almost all of it."

"Then...are you happy?" Yae Shinko seemed to be more concerned about this question.

Little Paimon immediately showed some excitement and said, "Super happy!"

She was indeed very happy. After all, she had delicious food and fun activities today, and she also met a new friend, Chizuru. It was a perfect day!

Seeing that everyone had happy and satisfied expressions, Yae Shinko nodded slightly and said, "The real Sanchuan Flower Festival is a hundred times more lively than it is now. But if you go there, you may not be as happy as you are now.

Because it's more fun to go to festivals with friends, right? "When she said this, she looked at Hanyuda Chizuru. After all, the two little ones were always very happy and had no shortage of companions. But Chizuru...she had always been more silent and gloomy.

Chizuru Hanyuda didn't expect that Yae Kamiko would care about her feelings. She smiled and nodded: "Well, thank you."

She was really grateful to Yae Shinko. After all, in her opinion, a little monster like herself was not worth any attention, but Yae Shinko still noticed her and extended a helping hand to her. This alone was enough to make her grateful.

"I'm not the one you should really thank." Yae Shinko waved her hand, "But... never mind, you probably have something to say to Ying alone, right? We won't bother you anymore."

"Really? What are you going to say?" Little Paimon was a little curious.

Chizuru Hanyuda looked at Yae Kamiko a little embarrassedly: "You saw through it again... I always felt that you seemed to understand everything... And the people you mentioned who should really be thanked... I'm sorry, I still don't quite understand."

"It's not important." Yae Shinko shook his head and chuckled, "I was just... um... following orders? Although it's inappropriate, that's how I feel. After all, I did something that offended someone, and I also hope to do better in other aspects to avoid suffering in the future.

Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Time is running out, right? Why don’t you hurry up?”

"..." Hanyuda Chizuru hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind, "Ying, are you free now? I want to... talk to you alone on the beach."

Ying agreed to it. Although she had doubts about what Yae Shinko said about the lack of time, she did not think much about it and followed behind Hanyuda Chizuru.

The two kept walking until they finally reached a deserted place, away from the hustle and bustle of the celebration. Their own peace enveloped them again. Hanyuda Chizuru took a long breath and adjusted her emotions: "Huh... let's just stay here. Thank you for coming with me."

"It's okay, it's okay. You're too polite." Ying smiled and shook her head. For a friend, it was not necessary to thank him specifically for such a small thing.

Hanyuda Chizuru smiled when she heard this, and did not continue to thank him, but directly said: "Actually, when I first discovered that I could transform into a human form, I was very happy.

I am a monster transformed from Haneita, a monster born in a festival, and I was born to love excitement." She said, turning around, facing the sea, looking into the distance, "I want to participate in festivals, make friends with humans, and play Akitsu games with others.

But, whenever it is late at night and everyone is asleep, I will remember the wry smile on the face of the elderly samurai as he put down his feather board, and the lonely Mr. Kamai sighing as he drank.

Then I would think, if I became friends with a human, would that person also have the same sad expression in the future?
