I am the one holding the Higan flower in my hand

As the departure time was approaching, Kuriyama Kuriko hurried out and sneaked to Kotonoha's bookstore. Because of what happened last time, Mrs. Miyamoto, who is still frightened, has not allowed her to go out recently. She has been sneaking out these days.

Speeding up the pace when there is no one around, and pretending to be at a normal human speed when there are people around. Switching back and forth can make Kuriyama Kuriko very tired.

Her little heart was pounding, fearing that some poor human would see her unusualness.

Just eat it.

So many times, the reason why you should pay more attention to your own safety is because it is not the person who hurts you, you can only restrain yourself.

Due to her caution, she was not discovered the last night. A happy smile appeared on Kuriyama Kuriko's face, she no longer had to kill anyone.

The brightly lit bookstore still looks so warm, making people feel warm all over unconsciously, and they can't help but bend their eyes.

"Kotonoha——" The word "sister" was stuck in her throat, and Kuriyama Kuriko's body trembled, and the smile froze on her face.

Teeth chattering.

She stared intently at the man with white oak hair who was playing with books in the center of the bookstore.

The man has handsome features, a snow-white complexion, and a pair of rainbow-like eyes. The scattered female customers in the bookstore are secretly looking at the man. But Kuriyama Kuriko felt that this man was a ghost.

And it is a very powerful ghost. It is the most powerful ghost I have seen so far except Master Wuhan.

Why do ghosts appear in bookstores?

Kuriyama Kuriko's body trembled slightly and she subconsciously took a step back. The difference in strength made her subconsciously choose to retreat. But as soon as she took a step back, she remembered this bookstore and someone she cared about.

Calm down, Lizi, this ghost didn't do anything dangerous. He might just be here to buy books, just like Mr. Wumei.

Calm down and don't look weird.

"chestnut,"

Kotonoha, who was still moving books, saw Kuriyama Kuriko standing at the door, and walked over with a smile, "What's wrong? Standing at the door...ah, it turns out..."

Kuri Kotonoha, who was so dizzy from working, had long forgotten about the children in the shop. Only when she saw Kuriyama Kuriko's abnormality did she think of someone she had forgotten.

She turned to look at someone who was flipping through a book, then looked at the person at the door, and smiled a little guiltily, "Well, Li Zi, let me introduce to you, this is my husband."

Kotonoha's finger pointed at the white-oak-haired young man.

Kuriyama Kuriko was stunned, and then her expression fell. "What did you say?" she shouted, "What do you mean?"

Two minutes later, lounge.

Zuhira Kotonoha had a cute smile on her face, her eyes were full of guilt, and her voice was very low. The ghost named Tong Mo sat next to her with a gentle smile on his face.

Kuriyama Kuriko smiled hypocritically, "Tell me."

She put on a serious expression towards her friend, whom she had just met but fell in love with at first sight.

"That's right," Kotonoha lowered his head in shame, and solemnly apologized for concealing the fact that Lizi knew her identity for a long time. "When I chatted with you that day, I knew that you should be a ghost, Lizi."

She never expected that her identity would be discovered on the first day. Kuriyama Kuriko was silent. She thought about the excuse she made that night and felt a little like losing her memory.

"You..." Kuriyama Kuriko looked at Zuhira Kotonoha in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of us?"

Why can you accept it so calmly... alien?

Delicate human women, in the hands of ghosts, have no other ending except death.

"I won't hurt Kotonoha, why don't you accept me?"

Before Kotonoha could answer, the ghost beside her made a dissatisfied sound and put his arm around Kotonoha's shoulders. He had a smile on his face and his eyes were cold.

It's a warning look.

Kuriyama Kuriko's body stiffened, and a chill ran down his spine, but he still couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He just asked a question. Is it necessary to react so loudly?

"Well, will chestnuts hurt me?"

Kuriyama Kuriko shook her head and looked at Kotonoha's serious answer, "No."

Kotonoha gave an expected smile, "So, why should I be afraid of you?" She smiled easily, not caring that there were two ghosts sitting next to her.

"Of course, I would be happier if you didn't hurt other humans."

"Of course not," Kuriyama Kuriko heard Tongmo's serious assurance before he said that he only eats bad guys. The young man had a serious expression and held Kotonoha's hands, as if he and Kotonoha were the only ones in the room.

Li Zi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth again, feeling like he was living like air.

"I will never hurt humans, and I won't fight back even if someone hits me."

"...It's not necessary," Lizi saw Kotonoha's expression freeze for a moment, and she obviously didn't believe such a lie, but she didn't expose it, she just said, "You can still give it back."

Tong Mo looked extremely moved.

So fake!

The two women said in their hearts at the same time.

Kuzuhira Kotonoha's eyes twitched, not wanting to watch this exaggerated performance anymore, she decisively took out her hand and turned to look at Kuriyama Kuriko, "Leave him alone."

Tong Mo was not angry at all.

It's completely different from the emotional ghost in Kuriyama Kuriko's impression.

Ghosts are creatures with more emotions than reason. Negative emotions such as impulsiveness, irritability, irritability, arrogance, etc. dominate the interpersonal interactions of ghosts.

Even the Ghost King is no exception. He seems to be polite, but in fact he is a sleeping volcano.

Kuriyama Kuriko is very good at capturing emotions, otherwise she would not be able to quickly comfort the other person and stop the other person's anger in time before Kibutsuji Muzan gets really angry.

But the ghost in front of him really didn't have these emotions, he was very calm.

Kuriyama Kuriko was a little scared.

"That's just him," it seemed like he was accusing him, but the person who spoke actually said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry about it."

Kuriyama Kuriko was silent. This time, she felt that the two people in front of her had an atmosphere that no one else could penetrate. She didn't know how to describe it, but in short, hehehe——

want to go back home.

But she has no home.

So she continued to sit here, watching the interaction between the two people in front of her, and a smile appeared inexplicably on the corner of her mouth, "I have always been worried about what Sister Kotonoha will do after she knows that I am not a human being. Now it's really great."

Kotonoha took Kuriyama Kuriko's hand and held it, "I was planning to tell you some time later."

"I...only eat bad people," Kuriyama Kuriko said softly.

Qin Ye's green eyes moved slightly, then she curved her lips into a smile and said softly, "I'm very happy."

From the first time he met Kuriyama Kuriko, Kotonoha and Kubihira felt like they were old friends at first sight and wanted to become friends with her. After these days of contact, she believed that this ghost girl was kind, but ghosts eating people was something that could not be changed.

Sometimes, Kotonoha also worries about how Kuriyama Kuriko solves the food problem.

Should we choose humans indiscriminately, or, like Tong Mo, choose specific humans.

Kuriyama Kuriko's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously held Kotonoha's hand, feeling a little excited. She suddenly felt a little grateful to Tong Mo. Kotonoha's ability to accept ghosts eating bad people was inseparable from this person's efforts.

She is now a descendant of the people who planted trees and the people who came after her enjoy the shade. However, because the one in front can survive, they can only work together.

Tong Mo smiled and separated the two girls' clasped hands, took Kotonoha's hand and asked in a curious tone, "How did you become a ghost?"

"There are very few ghosts like you who can't see the characteristics of ghosts."

Kuriyama Kuriko's body did not have any ghost characteristics, and even the ghost's aura was very weak. If it weren't for this distance, Tongmo wouldn't have been able to detect that the black-haired woman in front of him was the same kind.

"What is your vampire magic?"

Tong Mo asked without any sense of distance.

Kotonoha widened her eyes slightly, turned to look at the people around her, and asked with her eyes: Is it okay to ask about this kind of thing?
