[Comprehensive] Young man, do you know the method of single draw?

An eight-year-old girl named Natsume Reiko is different from all other children of her age.

She has no parents and was fostered by her relatives. She has been with her for nearly a year, but she finds that her relatives treat her more and more strangely.

[Did I do something wrong? 】

She wrote slowly on the letter paper.

The piece of letter paper was folded after finishing writing, and quickly turned into the appearance of a thousand paper cranes. She placed it on the clear water, and slowly moved towards the distance along the river's water patterns.

From a certain day on, Natsume Reiko could pick up a piece of white letter paper and a pencil by her side every day.

She ignored it several times, and finally, on a very uncomfortable day, she picked up the pen and wrote down the words that had been circling in her heart for a long time.

[Today, I realized a fact. 】

She wrote, recalling the corresponding image in her mind.Her young fingers pinched the body of the pen tightly, causing her fingers to turn slightly red.

"Ah... you mean our Reiko?"

The hostess of the relative's house was chatting with her neighbors. She looked around with a secretive expression, but she didn't find Natsume Reiko who happened to be hiding behind a tree.

"Yes, I also think she's weird. Even, sometimes I think she's a little... scary."

Applying the word "terrible" to a young child, her prejudice against that child can be seen directly.

This is an unusual girl.

"Sometimes I run away suddenly, sometimes I don't go home for a long time, and when I come back, I still have wounds on my body. When I am alone, I will talk to the air, as if there is really something talking to her there Same. When we get along with us, from time to time, I will suddenly look at a certain place in a daze...or show a frightened expression, which makes people creepy."

Natsume Reiko grabbed the grass on the ground, and the tender grass tip was bent at her fingertips.

"Yes, it feels as if she can really see something. I also thought about whether to send her away, but there is really no good reason. If she can stay safe and not cause trouble, let's take her in like this... Although It was scary at times, but after all, a pretty poor kid."

Out of an emotion called pity, Natsume Reiko was able to get a small place in this family.

She can study, live and grow up here, but she will not get the intimate contact and tender care of the people in this family.

【Those people are too boring, just because of this reason... I didn't do anything wrong, right? 】

[...It's okay, I will be myself. 】

【I want to go to a place where there are few people. I will not be afraid of those strange things. Whether they are monsters or ghosts, I don't care. 】

[If you can meet interesting monsters, maybe you can try to make friends——]

The girl's words were crowded on a piece of letter paper, slowly drifting along with the river, turning into bits of starlight and dissipating where she could not see.

When Abe Seimei woke up the next day, he found a new envelope beside his bed.

The correspondence with the little girl has been going on for a while, and Natsume Reiko has always believed that he is the same existence as a monster.Abe Seimei sometimes frowned when she read what she wrote, and sometimes smiled.

When Natsume Reiko's first letter was displayed in front of her eyes, Abe Seimei's reply was: [Really?So, can a person live strong? 】

The plain answer aroused the little girl's self-esteem while she was curious about the person who replied. Those frailties were cleaned up, showing a strong appearance that is not afraid of any wind and rain.

【Can! 】

Even without loved ones who can care for her, she can walk forward with a straight back.

"Write something else," he said to himself, "it's not a bad thing to teach children and enrich the lives of old people."

While living a leisurely old age, new turmoil occurred in Heian-kyo.

Abe Seimei has not really passed away, and the power of the newly born onmyoji is still thriving. At this time of transition, the onmyoji ushered in the disaster news of the resurrection of Yamata no Orochi.

The resentful Yamata no Orochi is committed to destroying Heian-kyo and even the world. Abe Seimei received an invitation letter one afternoon.

It took a lot of effort to deal with the Yamata no Orochi, but it ended perfectly.Since then, Abe Seimei has truly declared her seclusion, and the new generation of onmyojis of the Tsuchiyamen family have also begun to emerge.But at this time, more qualified talents also showed up to compete for the popularity of the Tsuchimikado family because of the existence of Abe Seimei.

The most representative of them is the Ma Cang family.

Abe Seimei wasn't very interested in the outside world. He returned to the much cooler Yinyang Room and sat down on a stone chair under the cherry tree.

The world only knows that the Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei solved a crisis easily, but no one knows that he has been infected with the last curse left by Yamata no Orochi.

Originally, a body nourished by abundant spiritual power should be able to maintain a healthy lifespan of more than a hundred years, but after the curse was attached to his body, Abe Seimei's body went from bad to worse.

Speaking of things that make friends feel anxious, it is not so terrible for Abe Seimei.

The former shikigami somehow knew about him, and secretly searched for ways to remove the curse or heal the body, but there was still no feedback after a long time.

One month before Sakuma Rin's arrival, Abe Seimei mentioned the topic of "farewell" for the first time in a letter written to a 16-year-old girl.

During the long exchange, Natsume Reiko has regarded him as a master and a father.Abe Seimei also has feelings for this child who was taught through time and space, but because of this, he had to prepare Natsume Reiko mentally as soon as possible.

Abe Seimei wrote about his true identity, the era he lived in, and the curse he received.

[Reiko, human life is limited, use limited life to accomplish what you want to do, this is a human being. 】

[For me, my life is complete. 】

……

After Abe Seimei fell asleep, Sakuma Rin came to the desk to pick up the last letter.The letter contains the latest content——

【Since it is caused by the curse, let me help you share it. 】

【do you know?I found a very interesting monster~ As long as I sign a contract, I can fulfill a wish, which is a "miracle" in other words. 】

[It must be hard to live with a curse, the elderly just want to live their last days comfortably. 】

It was Natsume Reiko's character, and it was the character of the high school student Natsume Reiko he knew well.

Abe Seimei must know that Natsume Reiko is going to do something bad, so he wants him to stop her.What Natsume Reiko did may hurt herself, but it will definitely reduce or disappear Abe Seimei's curse, and make Abe Seimei's old age more comfortable.

Sakuma Rin is very concerned about the monster that Natsume Reiko mentioned.

Ichihara Yuko told him that everything is exchanged at equal value.When you get something, you will also give something. Everything is predestined, just like there must be a pre-determined necessity behind all chances. ", will definitely take away something from Natsume Reiko.

Just like Yuko Ichihara's store, customers come to this store under the guidance of fate for what they want, and give something because they want to realize their inner desires.

"How can you realize your wish without paying a price..." Sakuma Rin pursed her lips angrily.

It's just that it's not clear what the monster needs to pay for it, and what Natsume Reiko paid.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga said: "That girl named Reiko seems to be a good girl."

"Well, everyone is a good person."

As soon as Rin Sakuma's voice fell, a commotion came in from outside the room more and more clearly. It was the sound of someone running in the middle of the night, and it was also mixed with the whispers of monsters.

The mountain rabbit came to them and said: "The dream is over, let's go back ~ Master Qingming must be waiting impatiently!"

Returning to reality, Sakuma Rin opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed.

The clothes were changed into pajamas, and the quilt was tightly covered. The little paper man came in and sent a message: "It's late tonight, let's have a good rest."

That was Abe Seimei's voice.

Rin Sakuma is indeed still a little sleepy. The [Born to be Human] card has a long-lasting effect. He maintains the normal physiological functions of human beings and has a schedule that is no different from human beings. It is normal to feel sleepy at night.

The warm body warmed the entire bed, and she couldn't help but put her hands on her chest. Feeling the heartbeat of the long-awaited heartbeat, Rin Sakuma recalled the time when she and Kyoki Kuze lived together in sleepiness.

The body of a vampire with no heartbeat and no body temperature is like a corpse, cold and cold, stuffed under the blanket and getting colder and colder.Sakuma Rin can feel the temperature, so she hates the cold bed even more.

The first time I stayed at Hibiki Kuze’s house, I was still somewhat reserved after recovering my memory, but I couldn’t help falling asleep during the day and accidentally grabbed the hand of Hibiki Kuze who was sitting on the sofa reading a book. After a long time, she also clearly showed her fascination with temperature, so Rin Sakuma was discovered to hate cold things.

When living with Harry Potter, the amnesiac Rin Sakuma and the young Harry often slept in the same bed, and they could often hug the warm human body heater to keep warm.Although the time was short only before Harry woke up, it was warm enough for Sakuma Rin to let him sleep peacefully.

The period of cohabitation was after returning to his own time from London, England. Hibiki Kuze was on vacation before the start of the university, and he had plenty of time during the day.When not going out, Kyousuke Kuze would choose to stay at home to read books or use the computer, and write papers.

The daytime is the time when vampires are drowsy. At that time, Rin Sakuma had nothing to do, so he just fell asleep during the daytime.

After a long time, Kuze Xiangxi would choose to let him stay on the bed with him and use the bed desk to do things.And Sakuma Rin can comfortably lie in the warm bed warmed by humans and fall into a wonderful sleep. When he is not paying attention, he will hug the humans around him, but for friends with good relationships, this is simply for warmth. The physical contact is nothing at all.

But sometimes Sakuma Rin would refuse this kind of company when she was very hungry, and would come back to sleep with the warm human heater when she was full.After all, the delicious taste of blood was too close, Sakuma Rin was worried that he would not be able to control himself if he fell asleep.

Back to the present, lying in the bed warmed by himself, Rin Sakuma misses Hibiki Kuze.

That kind of feeling that there is an extra temperature around you, and an extra heartbeat, once you get used to it, you will become greedy, and people don't want to lose it.

I really want to see him.

The author has something to say: Yes, until now the relationship between this couple is still more than friends but not lovers_(:з」∠)_

Hehehe, let's guess who Reiko met.

Correct the typo, this morning - as soon as possible
