Boss Scraps likes me too much, what should I do?

Teaching Yuanyi swordsmanship is a very happy thing.

As the elder brother, Yueya can easily feel Yuanyi's continuous growth in each competition, like a rough rough stone being polished little by little to give Yuanyi its own unique brilliance.

It's not just a rote application, but a little bit of knowledge learned in the battle and integrated into one's own stuff.

From being helpless at the beginning to being able to deal with it with ease, it took Yuanyi only ten days.

Crescent Moon also goes out from time to time these days, but she never encounters misfortune as long as she goes out like before.

To be precise, Yi Bie Wu Mi has not appeared since that day on the bridge, and Yue Yue looked for traces of Wu Mi while she was confused, but she did not find any trace.

Maybe Wu Mi had something to do and left, or maybe Wu Mi gave up.

No matter which kind of possibility is not expected by Yue Yue, who knows if Wu Mi's sudden departure is going to do something secretly?

But the sky in Kyoto Prefecture is still bright, the sky is full of clouds and clouds, no one will pay attention to how many people come to the bustling Kyoto and how many people leave.

"That's all for today."

Crescent Moon retracted her bamboo sword and said this to Enichi who was dripping with sweat.

Yuan nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Dusk has come, the bloody setting sun seems to ignite the whole sky, first a little bit of blush and then quickly spread across the whole sky, today's sunset is very big, from time to time, birds flap their wings and fly past.

A small black spot appeared in the distant sky, and behind it was the red sun, and then the black spot gradually enlarged and began to show its own appearance, which was a crow.

The goal of this crow is very clear, the direction of the flight is towards the rattan house hidden in the rows of mansions in the capital.

The crow was very big, and the sound of flapping its wings seemed to be blown by the wind, which caught the attention of Crescent Moon who was standing in the yard and had just retracted her knife.He raised his head and looked at the crow flying towards here, feeling a little familiar, the setting sun in the sky was reflected in the black eyes with a little bit of purple.

Crescent Moon thought for a long time before she remembered whose crow it was—it belonged to Ikeuchi Katsura.

"It's Mr. Ikeuchi's crow."

Yuan Yi yelled out.

He also heard the sound of the crow flapping its wings, and looked up to see Katsuo Ikeuchi's crow fly into the vine house and land on the low wall of the vine house.

The crow seems to be very tired, covered with gray-white dust, and its feathers are messy, which is very strange. I don’t know how many times Crescent Moon has heard Chi Neisheng complain that her crow is very stinky, and she often combs her feathers , and strive to keep themselves in the most perfect state.

"Yue, tell me, who did this stinky bird learn from?" Ikeuchi Katsuki looked like he was having a headache, "It's so stinky."

Yueya still remembers the way Chi Neisheng pointed at the crow he was preening its feathers when sitting beside him. Although his mouth was full of disgust, it was full of love when he looked carefully.

The crow probably knew that its master was talking about it, flapped its wings and flew up, and kept pecking at Ikeuchi's head with its sharp beak. Ikeuchi held his head and yelled, while Yueya sat beside him Said softly: "It serves you right."

Things follow the owner's type. Ikeuchi Katsuki is obviously very stinky, but he doesn't know who he learned his crow from?

But now Ikeuchi's crow is dirty, and it is precisely because of this that Yueya didn't immediately recognize that it was Ikeuchi's crow at first.

Because the change is too big.

Yueya raised her hand, and the crow lightly landed on Yueya's arm.

Frowning and touching the crow's messy feathers, Yueya asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Heidou blinked his big eyes, and the crow opened its beak and sang loudly.The voice was shrill and hoarse, as if it split the sky.

"Ikeuchi Katsuki - die in battle!"

The last red sun disappeared in the sky, the light disappeared, and darkness swept across the entire capital in an instant.

It sounded like a bad joke, a little melodramatic and a little absurd.

A few days ago before departure, Ikeuchi Katsuki was still in shape, and he grinned and showed a painful expression to Yueya when he heard the sound of Yuanyi's flute, but after a blink of an eye, Ikeuchi Katsura died like this.

Death is so easy for human beings. Their lives are like cherry blossoms in spring, which bloom for a short time and then quickly wither and fall to the ground and turn into soil.

Like Masaru Ikeuchi, Nagisa Miyashita, and the doctor and Hanako back then.

Crescent Moon lowered her eyes, the candles burning in the room behind her were flickering, and he couldn't see what he was thinking clearly with the light behind his back.After sitting quietly for a while, Yue Ya stretched out her hand to touch the crow leaning against his arms and said in a low voice, "You're tired."

"elder brother……"

Yuanyi didn't seem to recover from the news, he stretched out his hand to hold Yueya's hand, only feeling a little cold.

"Yuanyi, let's eat first."

Crescent Moon seemed to be in business as usual, and did not have too many fluctuations due to the news of Chiuchi Katsuki's death. He dragged Yuanyi into the room, still holding the dusty crow in his arms.

Yuanyi wanted to say something, but he didn't know what he could say, silence spread in Fujiya, only Yueya holding his hand made him feel down-to-earth.

"Okay, brother."

No one will cry, because tears are the most useless things in this world.

It can neither change the results that have happened nor resurrect the dead. Tears shed because of pain and sorrow can only show one's weakness.

Yuan Yi will not, and Crescent Moon will not.

Katsushi Chiuchi's crow fell aside, he had been cleaned up by Crescent Moon, but because he had just lost its owner, it didn't look happy, and even faintly depressed.

Crescent Moon did not know how much hair shed when she combed its feathers, but the crow didn't respond at all.

It's not smug anymore.

Yuanyi also seemed to be worried, and secretly put his own rice ball next to the nesting crow and gently touched the crow's feathers.

"How about some rice balls?"

The crow opened its black bean-sized eyes, lowered its head and lightly pecked the rice ball in Yuanyi's palm with its beak, then closed its eyes and stuffed its head under its wings.

Yuan Yi was a little at a loss, and quietly withdrew his hand.

"Don't worry, the crow will be fine."

Yueya saw Yuanyi's worry, and comforted Yuanyi in a low voice.

"You eat first."

But neither of the two people in this room had much appetite.

Yuanyi practiced sword for a whole day, and was already very tired. Yueya didn't want him to be unable to fall asleep thinking about Chi Neisheng, so she quietly used a little demon power to make Yuanyi fall asleep first.The same is true for Ikeuchi's crow, which nestled in the corner of the room and fell asleep with its eyes closed.

Yueya needs to talk to the ghost lamp, and the things in hell are still hidden and cannot be known by Yangjian, so it is better for Yuanyi not to know.

Taking out the bronze mirror, Crescent Moon tapped lightly on the smooth mirror surface a few times, and the mirror surface rippled like water waves, gradually revealing the solemn and majestic face of Ghost Lamp in the ripples.

"Master Ghost Lantern." Yueya whispered Ghost Lantern's name, "I made a mistake."

"I'm relented."

When he was introduced by Bi Anhua to assist Gui Deng, Gui Deng solemnly told Yue Ya that he must never show mercy to anyone who harbors sins.

What hell needs is a jailer who can deal with all affairs calmly and fairly, but any thought of softness must be discarded immediately.

At that time, Yueya didn't have the slightest emotional entanglement. It can be taken for granted that it was precisely because he was calm and rational enough that he would not be disturbed by the emotions of the outside world that Ghost Lantern relied on him so much, making Yueya his well-deserved second in command.

No matter how weak and harmless the ghost is in disguise, once the evil crescent moon on his body is found out, he will listen to the ghost lamp's order and execute the sentence without blinking an eye.

But Yueya is no longer as calm and rational as when he first joined the job—he has an affair.

The ghost lamp looked at Yueya's obscured face under the dim light through the mirror. He didn't know what happened to Yueya, but he understood a little bit.He even expected that Yueya would come back to find him today, and even this day came a little early.

"Do you know why?"

Ghost Lantern didn't ask carefully what happened, he felt that Yueya didn't want to talk about it, so he just asked in a low voice.

The eyes of the crescent moon shone with tiny pieces of light, just like the shattered ice flakes floating on the river when the river water thawed in early spring.

"I have no idea."

The ghost lamp revealed the secret to Yueya.

"Because you restored your original memory."

It's that simple.

Yueya, who has not recovered her memory, is a character developed under the guidance of Ghost Lantern and Bianhua over the years, and the blood of the monster has the upper hand in Yueya's body.The idea of ​​being an indifferent monster by nature is deeply rooted in Yueya's mind. Under the education of Bianhua and Guideng, she has grown into a towering tree that cannot be shaken in the slightest.

But Yueya regained his memory. The memory of being a human bound his footsteps, just like the water plants in the river. At first, they were not threatening at all, but once they stretched in and entangled their feet, it would be like a gangrene Usually can't get rid of it until it drags you into the river and drowns you.

Now the memory of Crescent Moon is the aquatic plants hidden in the river, dragging Crescent Moon to sink to the bottom of the river.

This is one of the reasons why Bianhua resisted Yueya's recovery of memory in the first place.

The part of the human blood in Yueya's body that has recovered her memory has awakened. As long as she is a human being, she will have emotions and desires, not to mention the heart that is beating strongly in Yueya's chest.

The ghost lamp stretched out his hand and pointed to the left side of Yueya's chest through the mirror. Yueya subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched it. The heart in the chest was beating hard to convey a steady stream of vitality to Yueya.

"Your human heart has awakened."

It is precisely because of this human heart that he makes mistakes again and again, allowing him to live in this world without misery.

Yueya's heart ached, as if a hammer had been beating on his heart, a tearing pain swept through his whole body at that moment, Yueya grabbed his collar suddenly, holding the ground with one hand to breathe.

His brain was buzzing, there seemed to be countless people howling in his ears, the blood vessels on his temples were also jumping, and blue veins appeared faintly on his crescent forehead. into his head.

There is the sound of a mother humming a song softly to lull her child to sleep, there is the sound of a husband and wife leaning together for a sweet night talk, there are short quarrels between parents, and there are cries of despair and pain.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, but they are all the same noisy.

He seemed to hear the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart. Warm blood was continuously poured into his throat and then swallowed. They arrogantly judged whether this person's flesh and blood were fresh and tender, and whether the blood was sweet and delicious.

But never thought about the pain of the human beings who were eaten.

Crescent Moon covered her ears and didn't want to listen, but those voices drilled into his head.

Then Crescent Moon heard the sound of light breathing, small soft and warm and full of vitality.

It was Yuanyi's breathing.

Crescent Moon put down his hand, he turned his head to look at Yuan Yi who was lying in the quilt.

There was still the piccolo wrapped in a small white silk beside the pillow, but there was a brand new mask besides it.

Above is a carefully drawn sun with a crescent moon.

Crescent Moon froze for a moment before regaining consciousness, he looked at the ghost lamp staring at him, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled.

"I see, Lord Ghost Lantern."

Yueya whispered softly, with exhaustion that couldn't be concealed, "How are those humans who were eaten by ghosts now?"

"Most of them have already reincarnated after they judged their sins."

The ghost lamp explained in a low voice, this is a good result. After several months of overtime work in hell, the chaotic dead in the book of life and death have been sent to the place where they should go one by one. The guilty still have to be punished, and the innocent People naturally drink Mengpo soup and go to the place of reincarnation.

But if there is no misfortune to die, and the evil spirits are not exhausted, then the workload of hell will not be reduced.

What's annoying is that this is an established destiny, hell can't intervene, only Crescent Moon can end it.

"I see, Lord Ghost Lantern."

Yueya propped up the bronze mirror and bowed deeply to the ghost lamp in the mirror, touching her forehead with her crossed hands, Yueya said softly: "I will solve it without misfortune, my lord."

The sound rolled out of the window along the breeze, and then gradually disappeared in the darkness.

The bronze mirror was closed, Crescent Moon put the mirror away carefully and got up from the tatami.

He walked lightly, step by step to the side of the sleeping Yuanyi.

Yuanyi slept soundly, her pretty face was still covered with baby fat, but it was enough to see clearly what kind of handsome appearance Yuanyi would have in the future.

Yue Ya stretched out her hand and touched Yuan Yi's head, and then touched Yuan Yi's hand exposed outside the quilt.

It's a bit cold, maybe because of the cooler weather.

So Yueya gently put Yuanyi's hand outside the quilt into the quilt.

He opened his mouth to say something, but thought that Yuan Yi couldn't hear him and gave up.

So he bent down and dropped a light kiss on Yuanyi's forehead like before, full of affection.

Reach out and pick up the mask that Yuanyi put beside the pillow. The red lines on it are bright in color, and the drawn corners of the fox's mouth are raised in a lively and playful look.

This has Crescent Moon's selfishness. He hoped that Yuanyi could be as lively and playful as the fox he saw on the cornice of Inari Shrine that day, so he specially carved a happy fox face.

Very cute.

Yueya looked at the red thread and disassembled it, and then she cut the palm of her hand, and the blood rushed out along the wound. After a flash, the wound healed, and the red thread was still bright.

Wrapping the red thread around the mask again, Yueya put the mask beside Yuanyi's pillow, then got up and went to the table to write a letter with a pen.

It's for Yuanyi.

Picking up the sun wheel knife in the house, Yueya went out.

Fujiya's mother-in-law didn't fall asleep, she stood at the door as if anticipating something, holding a paper lantern in her hand.

"Are you going to leave, my lord?"

Fujiya's mother-in-law has always been quiet and kind, and the number of times Crescent Moon has listened to her for so long is only a handful.

He stopped and smiled at his mother-in-law.

"Yes."

The mother-in-law did not stop Yueya from leaving, but Yueya stopped when she passed by her, looking at her mother-in-law with warm and quiet eyes.

"If I don't come back after dawn, please ask Enichi to find Rinya Ubuyashiki."

"Let Yuanyi not wait for me."

Having said that, he seemed to feel a little sad again, and closed his mouth.

But after the silence, Crescent Moon spoke softly again.

"Please tell Yuanyi."

"I'm sorry, I broke my promise."
