The summer festival of monsters is not so much a celebration of the arrival of the beginning of autumn, but rather the beginning of the autumn harvest?In short, this time is very coincidentally held in the week before the start of school, unlike the normal summer festival which is held around the autumnal equinox,

"I said... are you using me as a bodyguard?" Onimaru, who was wearing an ordinary dark blue bathrobe and held a round fan with a firefly pattern painted on a white background with the same color as the bathrobe, looked at the group of children behind him and sighed. .

Sora: "Hahaha... I want to see the new profession no matter what, no! The new race... I mean, I am curious about monsters! Although it is not suitable for lively occasions, as long as there is a new profession, as a player... Ha, Haha... no! It's still scary...o(╥口╥)o"

Bai: "Ni...QAQ"

Qihai: "I'm sorry..."

Komaeda Nagito: "Well, the class leader came to this summer festival for me. By the way, is this really a summer festival? Ah, I'm just an ordinary scum, please don't worry about it. But I didn't expect to meet the class leader The person I know is really Sparashi..."

Hinata So: "I'm sorry... We have tried our best to hold him, but Komaeda-san's luck..."

Natsume: "Haha, ha..."

Tanuma asked: "Well, isn't this summer festival hosted by a monster who loves humans? It should be... no problem, right?"

Multitrack: "We came here last year too, so there shouldn't be any problems. Probably."

Yukimura Seiichi: "Then please."

Onimaru looked at this pile of hope for the future of his motherland... oh, not his motherland.Anyway, looking at this group of young girls, Onimaru sighed, "Remember not to stay too far away from me, and...you take these guards, there is a seal and a seal array inside, for ordinary monsters, you can seal them by pasting them Hold, but be careful, the seal can only be sealed for 30 minutes, and it will be released automatically after 30 minutes. If a human being carries it close to his body, it will form a simple protective array. This array does not have the function of reducing damage or protecting, but reducing human Qi, let the monster ignore you to the greatest extent when the distance is not less than 1 meter."

"Oh, you're still working hard." Jumping on Natsume's shoulder and sniffing Madara's Madara, he signaled Natsume to put away the Omori, "For these brats, this kind of Omori is much more useful than a serious protective Omori Yes. And you have prepared more than three, did you expect that someone would come?"

"No, this kind of guard can also be used as consumables, and most of them are intended to be spared for them." Onimaru looked at the 6 extra guards in his hand, and would definitely divide the blanks into one more, hoping that something will happen to the chef... …Forget it, he won’t give it to him, it’s better to give it to the little angel of Nanami, and then recruit ghosts, oh no, the three Natsume and Yukimura who recruit monsters, so that everyone can basically have enough to spare, even if they get separated and encounter danger Yes, it can last until he arrives.

It was all the fault of him accidentally sending messages back to Natsume, not to mention that he usually has no one to contact, and he is not used to contacting by email here, so he was careless in the end...

Xiaobu and Xilfen replied that they would not participate in the dangerous party. Guimu flatly rejected this kind of non-indoor behavior. Xiaofang said that there was an event at home that day and it was not convenient to participate. I regretted it, and finally ran out again today.

Although the two siblings were standing on the scene holding each other like conjoined twins.

— No matter how you look at it, it is disturbing.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Taking over the last omori from Onimaru, Yukimura smiled and looked at the impatient Tsurumaru behind Onimaru, the smiling Mikazuki, and Ran, who was wearing a beautiful women's yukata. It was Imaken who wanted to fly like a little tengu, Iwato who was carrying something long, and Kokomaru who seemed to have a real tail behind him.

"You were going to enjoy the festival today, right? Then don't worry about us, we will be careful." Pulling Onimaru pushed behind him, "Enjoy the festival with your family, if there is any problem, We will not hesitate to ask you for help."

"Well, yes." Natsume looked at Yukimura's eyes and nodded in understanding, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"That's right, we've been here before, it's fine." One hand restrained Sora's attempt to hug Onimaru's thigh, and tightly covering Sora's mouth where he was going to say something, Tanuma smiled and signaled to Onimaru, "We will take care of each other." If you take them to enjoy the festival, you will also have a good time."

Bai was trembling in Duogui's arms holding her: "Ni...scary...QAQ"

Sora, who was restrained by Tanuma with one hand: "...QAQ" Sister, your mother is in danger... Let's... let's be brothers and sisters in the next life...

Bai: "Ni..." QAQ

Sora: "Imata..." QAQ

Yukimura looked at the back of Onimaru leaving, and looked back at Natsume: "Then let's act separately, after all, there are too many people, and it is too eye-catching at the festival."

"That's impossible." Natsume put Yukimura Seiichi on the shoulder, smiled and shook his head, "I promised Lord Onimaru to take you to the festival."

"That's right, you just have to enjoy it." Tanuma took out the paper mask he had prepared to cover up his breath from his bosom, and distributed it to everyone, "We are seniors after all, so we must listen carefully to what seniors say."

"That's right!" Duogui, who was holding the 11-year-old Bai and turned around, smiled and tied the paper mask on Bai. "It will definitely be a festival that surprises you all! Look forward to it!"

"Sir, I'm also very curious about this mysterious festival..." Komaeda Nagito who took over the paper mask smiled innocently like a lamb, while Nanami and Hinata, who knew his nature well, sighed wryly. tone.

I hope this festival...doesn't explode.

354.

"Are they all right?" Onimaru looked back at the human group over there. If it was Natsume alone, he wouldn't be too worried, but if it was just adding blank and Yukimura... well, especially Yukimura, after the National Competition One day, he was really worried that something would happen to Yukimura at this juncture.

After all, there are monsters everywhere here, but it's not that the little Asahi God can protect him.

"They are all adults, and they should be responsible for their own actions. You are neither their parents nor their boss. Why should you care too much about these human beings?" Sanriyue said leisurely with her hands in her sleeves.

"In the 21st century, the age of adulthood in Japan has been changed to 20 years old. Even if a boy of this age commits a crime of homicide, he will not be punished. And the oldest boy in this group is only 17 years old, far from being responsible for himself. Time." Onimaru sighed.

"Hahaha, is it? But I think they don't think so." Mikazuki didn't care about Onimaru's objection at all, "And I think they have been responsible for their actions for a long time, far more than they seem to have experienced There are many."

Onimaru was at a loss for words for a while, let alone his ability, even the anime he had watched told him how responsible these children were for what they did.

"But..." But that's not why he wasn't worried at all.

"Main Hall! Look at this!" Tsurumaru, who was playing with Ran, Imaiken, and Yan Rong, raised a small hand mirror picked up from the monster stand, "You can see a pond in this mirror!"

"Don't take things randomly." Onimaru looked at the mirror and frowned. The traces of the curse on this mirror should not be too heavy!

"Hahaha... It should be that after the dark fall, I suddenly became kind to these negative emotions, and I always focus on them unconsciously." Crescent Moon with her hands in her sleeves and Xiao Xiao with her tail flicked Foxmaru followed behind Onimaru from left to right, looked at the lively black crane over there and said with a smile.

"You can rest assured that although our aura belonging to swords is restricted by your guard, this type of magic tool that can catch prey can still detect our essence in a very close state, let alone As a sword, I can still kill a curse of this level. Please rest assured." Xiaohumaru said with a smile, flicking his tail.

"Well, but the monster market really has everything, so is there any other interesting things?" Sanriyue looked up at the long festival stalls, most of which sold all kinds of strange food, but There are also a small number of items that these monsters think are valuable, but they don't know what they are useful for.

Among these things are the cursed mirror held in Tsurumaru's hand, which will capture humans into the mirror pool, and be caught and drowned by the water ghosts inside.

Onimaru: Suddenly worried.

"Is Sanriyue curious? Then should we split up? Talk nonsense that he wants to eat the spicy civet cat soup from Miss Rabbit over there." Onimaru pointed to a small stall in the distance that exuded an ominous red smell.

"Ah...haha, grandpa is a little bit fond of spicy..." San Riyue covered the choking spicy taste with her sleeves, and smiled reluctantly, "Grandpa will wait for you here, don't say anything, just go your own way. In order to enjoy the festival with you, everyone chose to act in a small group, otherwise, even the festival would have no meaning for me and the swords to participate in."

"Yes, Sanriyue and I will wait for you here." Xiaohuwan looked at the almost condensed chili smell with a wry smile, "Xiaohu, I also like this smell... Wildness doesn't seem to be anything. Useful all the time."

"Ah! Spicy hot hot...!!"

After tasting Miss Rabbit’s spicy civet cat soup, Onimaru got a sausage-mouthed Tsurumaru and Ranan each. Little Tengu didn’t eat much, so he gave Yan Rong his share, and Yan Rong poured it directly in a very generous breath. In the mouth, there seems to be no problem at all.

And Onimaru, which is not as light as the traditional Japanese eat, accepts this level of spiciness well. In other words, he thinks this level of spiciness is actually handled well. It looks spicy and smells bad, but it does not damage the deliciousness of the food. , It reminded Onimaru of the delicacies of the motherland, and it was quite happy to eat.

Afterwards, they ate all the way, eating chili, and of course they had to eat some ice to reduce the fire.So Liu Ren and his party bought three monster shaved ice. This shaved ice is not like the shaved ice next to it that can spit out freezing air after eating it. Goblin-specific jam, although the taste of the jam is a bit strange, but the taste is not bad.

Tsurumaru, Ran, and Onimaru ate two servings of shaved ice, or one portion of the extremely spicy two-edged sword. Feed Onimaru from time to time, and Imaiken and Yanrong on the other side ate a share, while Sankaiyue and Xiaohumaru I didn't eat this, I just followed them and looked at their backs and smiled.

"Ah! Candy apples!" After finishing the shaved ice, Luan fell in love with candy apples on the side of the road. The red candy apples matched the pink goldfish bathrobe that Lan was wearing today.

"Then let's buy that baked potato with butter." Onimaru pointed to the ghost potato on the other side. The boiled crispy potato was topped with butter and sprinkled with some small side dishes, except for some herbs cultivated by the monsters themselves. , but the practice is not much different from that of human beings.

"But it's delicious." Jin Jian, who had already eaten his portion and began to covet Yan Rong's portion, jumped in agreement.

"Ah! Fox's oden!" Almost as soon as the scent appeared, it attracted the soul of Xiaohuwan, so Jiba had to stop and buy some oden.And Xiaohuwan's portion is almost all fried tofu...

"Ha ha ha..." Ji Ren looked at Xiao Hu Wan's happy smile eating fried tofu, looked at each other, and put all the fried tofu in his own bowl into Xiao Hu Wan's bowl.

The ears on the top of Xiaohumaru's head trembled, and the cherry blossoms floated in super happiness.

"This chicken skewer smells delicious." Onimaru compared seven to the smiling monster behind the booth.

"But why is the fire blue?" Tsurumaru stretched out his hand to touch the flame, but it wasn't hot.

"This is ghost fire, so this barbecue is called ghost fire." The little boss behind the stall, wearing a red kimono and with a big bell tied on his hair, wrapped up the food, "Customer, your chicken skewers, takoyaki, and big octopus, thank you for buying."

"Oh! It looks delicious!" Looking at the attractive food, everyone looked forward to it.

"Xixiu...wow...it smells so good!" Jinjian ran to a certain stall, "Master! This way!"

"Well... if I continue to eat, I will definitely gain weight." Rubbing his belly, he smelled the tempting fragrance in the air, "Wow! I shouldn't have come to the festival! But master... ... woo..."

"Tooken shouldn't be fat, right?" Onimaru patted his head, and looked suspiciously at Mikazuki who was following him.

"Hahaha." Sanriyue covered her mouth and smiled.

"General, if you are like this, it will be difficult to get a girlfriend in the future." Luan puffed up his cheeks.

"What kind of girlfriend do I need if I have you guys." Onimaru took Luan's hand, "Let's go there quickly, or Imaken will eat me up."

"They say this is called a saliva frog! It really makes you want to drool just by smelling it!" Imamu held up the delicacy and showed it off to Onimaru and the others.

"Gehahaha!" Yan Rong raised the Jinjian and ran towards Guimaru and the others...

Mikazuki looked at the backs of Ran and Onimaru suspiciously, and put the doubts behind her.

When eating all the way to the time and place of the fireworks, I felt a bit full even if I didn’t eat much Onimaru. A group of seven blades found a treetop and sat down, watching the beautiful 'fireworks' created by the monsters. Under the colorful light, he smiled very satisfied and happy.

And Onimaru looked at the familiar figure sitting on the small high platform where the organizer was sitting in the distance, and smiled wryly.

Ah, now that I am like this, how should I recognize my relatives?

Slider?

355.

"It seems that you had a pleasant festival." Onimaru was relieved to see a lot of boys and girls returning, and they didn't consume a single ward, so it seemed that everything was going smoothly.

and……

Looking at the shining eyes of the boys and girls, it seems that they had a good time.

Hua Piao, this time, no, maybe all along, your festival has brought joy and happiness to everyone, that's great.isn't it?

"Yes, thank you for your amulet." Natsume took out the exquisitely crafted amulet. This kind of thing was too expensive, and he couldn't accept it with peace of mind.

"Hey." Onimaru closed Natsume's hand, "This is originally for you, just use it well."

"You too." Seeing that other people also took out their guards, Onimaru shook his head, "It's late, you should go back."

"Onimaru Kami." After the other boys left, Yukimura stayed and looked at Onimaru and said.

"I thought you would be unwilling for a few days, but I didn't expect you to come to the youkai festival." Onimaru always felt that Yukimura Seiichi was an extremely proud boy, but his pride was relatively restrained, and his pride was always expressed in strictness. Ask yourself to be good, and be extra tolerant to others because of this pride and character.

So he always thought that with Yukimura's pride, he would not be able to accept this ridiculous failure, and in a short period of time, he rejected all things related to monsters and mystery.

"Well, I really won't be reconciled if I lose." Yukimura recalled some stories that Natsume told him at the festival, about his past and monsters.

At that time, he felt that the things he encountered might be nothing. Instead of complaining about his failure here, he still prefers to hone himself, so that this kind of gaffe will never happen again next time!

"It's not so much that I can't accept that I lost, it's better to say that I hate the feeling that I will lose, but at this time there is external interference, which makes me have a... ridiculous illusion after losing. "Yukimura's expression didn't change, neither unwilling nor self-deprecating.

"Although I still can't understand the happy tennis that Echizen said, but thanks to Echizen, I have come out of the obsession with Rikkai's three consecutive championships..." Yukimura looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

"I plan to participate in U-17. As long as I face more strong people and practice more, I will be able to understand that state."

Yukimura's eyes showed a kind of pride that Onimaru couldn't understand, but was extremely appreciative: "Complaining about yourself can't solve everything. Only by moving forward can you become a strong man."

"This country, from the past, derogates all those who cannot get out of hardships by themselves as weak. The so-called strong are those who overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and can laugh out loud at any time." Yukimura Looking at Onimaru, "Can you understand?"

"The so-called, strong enough to laugh at everything..." Onimaru said softly.

This sentence is often said by Yamabuku Kunihiro.This belief is also used as the criterion in the sword. They call the dark fall the defeat of the soul, and believe that only the sword that endures all hardships and injustices, and can laugh freely and find solutions in this situation is the real sword. powerful.

And this kind of belief makes Onimaru from a foreign country very incomprehensible-you have to speak out when you are in pain, you have to cry when you are sad, and you should fight back when you are hurt. This is the education he has always received.

"Ah." Yukimura smiled at Onimaru, "You really know it very well."

Perhaps I have played tricks, the world of monsters is far more cruel than the world of humans, and it is not strange to lose one's life if one is not careful.Unlike the weak Asahi God, this adult standing in front of him intact and chatting happily has already proved his strength early on.

But until now, after experiencing so much, he did not understand the true connotation of this power.

"Sorry, I seem to have lost my composure." Yukimura smiled and shook his head, "I will go back to the training camp in two days. By then, I will definitely become stronger."

Become a more mature version of yourself.

356.

"So, did he come to tell me that he will go to the training camp later?" Onimaru watched Yukimura get in his family's car and leave, and asked Mikazuki as he lowered his waving hands.

"Hahaha, maybe I just came here to swear my determination and goals. After all, I'm just a boy." Mikazuki patted Onimaru's head, "Let's go back too."

Onimaru looked at the swords waiting for him——

"Ah."

The summer vacation has come to an end, and the new semester is about to begin.

The author has something to say: Oh my god, it’s finally possible to revise it, Komaeda Small Theater and then write it later, I’ll go back and sleep for a while...
