Awataguchi Tachi Sword Life Guide

In nature, crows are extremely intelligent birds.

Along with their cleverness comes their vindictive nature.

They can remember and recognize human faces, and then familyly retaliate against those they hate.So once a person is hated by the crow, things will become very complicated.

In the current situation of being closely followed by crows, while covering his head and walking quickly in the first phase, he quickly recalled whether he had done any lively crow behavior during this time.

……No?

So what's going on with this horror movie-esque situation?

If you can't get an answer, the first phase of the decision is ignored, and it is serious to go home as soon as possible.

"quack--"

Just as the first stage was speeding up, the crow that had been flying and circling just now suddenly uttered a cry.

"quack--"

One after another, the successive crows pierced the air, stinging Yiqi's eardrums.

Such a posture is simply to gather a team and besiege him.

In the first period, he has the confidence to protect himself from injury, but facing a group of flexible birds that can fly, even if he is not injured, big troubles are inevitable.He had to quicken his pace, and at the same time, his whole body tensed up, ready to respond to the crow's actions at any time.

and many more……

The number of crows seems to have decreased?

"pat".

One meal at a time.

Something wet, sticky, and warm fell from the sky, and landed on the top of his head accurately.

Immediately afterwards, an unpleasant smell entered Yiqi's nose.

... He didn't know what expression he had on his face now.

After a while, he raised his stiff feet again and walked towards the residence step by step.

Walking faster and faster, walking faster and faster, the last period was almost a trot, while stalking the neck to keep the head still, trying to keep the things that fell from the sky from turbulent, while going home as fast as possible.

Back home, Yiqi couldn't take it anymore.

The touch on the top of his head, that lingering smell, reminded him all the time what was falling on the top of his head.

Those crows are really...! !

The first phase was expressionless, faintly blue, and rushed into the bathroom at the fastest speed.

After using up less than half the bottle of shampoo, until the smell was completely washed away, leaving only the fragrance of shampoo, I walked out of the bathroom slowly, holding a towel in my hand and slowly rubbing my hair.

Otherwise, he has always had thick hair and has never been troubled by hair loss, and now he is likely to be caught in another kind of sadness.

Passing the living room, Yiqi stopped, turned around and folded his hands together facing the photo on the wall.

"Father, mother."

The photo shows a pair of men and women cuddling each other, smiling softly.

But this is a black and white photo.

"Good night."

Yiqi closed his eyes slightly, finished speaking softly, and went back to the room.

Today's day has made him feel quite troubled, and he just wants to sleep and calm down.

The whole two-story building fell silent, and there were no other sounds.

The crow standing on the eaves turned its head deftly, then flapped its wings and soared into the air, flying towards the distance.

The first phase of the house fell into a dream.

He saw the big cherry blossoms in Osaka again in his dream—he instinctively determined that it was Osaka.

However, in just a breath, the splendid cherry tree withered instantly.Little sparks exploded on the branches of the trees, and the verdant vitality has been completely lost from the trees. Now in the first phase, there are only charred dead woods that barely support the shape of "trees".

Looking up, the majestic and splendid building was gradually engulfed by the billowing smoke, the wooden components were burned out, and the sound of the collapse couldn't help stabbing Yiqi's eardrums.

The scorching breath rushed towards his face, burning every inch of his bare|exposed skin, and half of the sky was reflected in a doomsday crimson.

flame……

Flame turns everything...

Woke up the next day, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

He seemed to be dreaming of something.

But when I think about it, I can't remember the specific content.

It's just a dream... nothing more.

He moved his body after a sleep and recovered his strength, and got up quickly.

Open the curtains, the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh.Thinking back on the schedule again... Very good, there is nothing to do at school today, and the part-time job just happened not to be scheduled.

Not bad, a leisurely and ordinary day.

Inhale and exhale slowly, then turn around and start to pack up, change clothes and prepare to go out.

Not having to go to school or working part-time does not mean that he can stay at home without going out.As an adult man whose parents have both died, he needs to take care of everything at home.

The ingredients in the refrigerator are almost used up, so I have to buy a fresh batch.There are also scattered household items such as paper towels and detergents that need to be replenished.

It just so happened that today was fine, he could buy everything in one go, and now that he went early, he could choose fresher and higher-quality ingredients.

In the first issue, I used a toaster to bake two slices of bread for breakfast, and then greeted the parents in the photo, "I'm ready to go out."

Then I changed my shoes and stuffed the canvas bag that I will be using later into my backpack.Phase [-] put the bag on his back, adjusted the position of the shoulder strap, got up and opened the door and went out.

The supermarket is not far from here, just walk there.

When he went out, he carefully observed the sky first, and after making sure that there were no crows circling like last night, he walked out with confidence.

In any case, he really didn't want to go through the experience of being doused with crow's excrement on his head again.

Phase [-] took out his mobile phone, looked at his notepad, and then searched the information pages that he usually pays attention to.

The deceased parents left a lot of property for the first period, which is enough for him to live a good life, but he himself does not like this kind of life of sitting and eating. He usually not only works part-time to earn subsidies, but also plans his monthly consumption carefully to avoid unnecessary waste. Sometimes the brain is hot and wasteful.

Therefore, it is necessary to properly participate in special offers.

"Is there any special offer today... Ah, just right."

In the first phase, I am satisfied to see that there is a suitable special offer in the supermarket today. If you go now, you should be able to buy it.

I went to Daban, so I need to plan well for this month's living expenses...

"Clap."

"Clap."

A few pebbles suddenly flew past Yiqi's eyes one after another, making him have to stop.

The small stone hit the wall on one side, and then bounced to Yiqi's feet.

Yiqi blinked hard, then narrowed slightly.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the stones seemed to hit the same spot on the wall.

Immediately afterwards, a golden ring rolled over.

It is a ring that looks nothing special just from the outside, but exudes a simple and simple atmosphere.Yiqi bent down to pick up the ring, then looked around with the object, and saw a child sitting on the wall not far away.

Very petite and comely child, and at the same time dressed rather strangely.

The hair alone was extraordinarily long, and the silver-white long hair had a silky luster under his eyes, and it was tied into a bun on one side.If it were put down, it would probably be longer than the child's height.

However, the long hair matched the child's clothes very well.

If it’s just a kimono, it’s okay. Even in this day and age, people who are rich and sophisticated will still wear kimonos for their children.

But the style of this child's kimono is very old, and today's children would never choose it, and even that style reveals the sense of drama of a legend.

——The child still wears a small black hat on his head.

With this body, he can play the little tengu in a ghost drama.

And that pair of terrifying single-toothed clogs made people sweat for the child's safety.

But the child himself has no such consciousness at all.

He just sat on the high courtyard wall of someone else's house, swinging his legs for a while, looking leisurely.

On the slender ankle on the right, there is a ring that is exactly the same as that in Yiqi's hand.

In the first phase, he was sure that the ring he was holding was dropped by the child.

But he didn't pass.

The children not far away did not speak either.

It was supposed to be the most innocent and lively age, but the child didn't immediately ask the first phase for the lost ring, but stared at him condescendingly with a pair of red eyes.

The red in those eyes was not intense, but a very clear crystal red.

But being stared at by such a petite child with such a pair of eyes, the first phase unexpectedly chose to wait and see what happened cautiously.

The child reacted like this when he saw him in the first phase, and he was not in a hurry, his mouth was tightly pursed, and he was still staring at him like that.The force of the eyes seems to be to use the eyes to dig out the first phase, study it carefully and thoroughly, and find something from it.

This look seemed familiar.

I remember very clearly in the first issue. He saw similar eyes from the young priest of the Ishikiri Sword and Arrow Shrine yesterday.

The difference is that the child's emotions are more vivid.

After staring at those eyes for a while in silence, the first episode revealed the smile that no matter which child sees it, they will feel close to each other and want to chase after him and call "big brother". different attitudes due to their attire.

He raised the ring in his hand and gestured to the child who was sitting firmly on the fence. His gentle voice made people let down their guard inadvertently, "Is this your thing?"

But the reaction of the child dressed as a little tengu is completely different from the other children I saw in the first issue.

Little Tengu seemed to have finally determined something, his eyes widened in shock, his pupils trembled, "You..."

"Ok?"

Dialogue with children requires patience and methods.In the world of adults, children's words are always not taken seriously, so sometimes the other party needs to actively give an appropriate response to give the child the courage and confidence to continue speaking.

Therefore, in the first issue, which understands this very well, it takes almost no time to think, and responds kindly to the child who seems to be hesitating.

However, the special-dressed "Little Tengu" boy also took an unusual path in this regard. After he opened his mouth, he stopped talking, snorted lightly, frowned in a mature manner, and stared at a question from top to bottom, bottom to top. , scanning back and forth many times, with complicated eyes and unpredictable expressions.

Yiqi raised his hand a little higher, "Little friend, do you still want this?"

"What kid!" The child said loudly and displeased, and then he came back to his senses and realized that he had overreacted, and suddenly moved a bit in embarrassment.

After waiting again, he stretched out his hand towards Yiqi, and said dryly, "It's too far away, take it here."

Although the child had a strange attitude, it was impossible for Yiqi to be angry with such a small child who hadn't actually done anything bad.He walked over normally and handed the ring to the child.

The child took the ring, put it on his feet without even looking at it, and then continued to stare at the first phase with wide-eyed eyes.

Phase [-] stood for a while, seeing that the child still didn't move, glanced at the courtyard wall and said worriedly: "This wall is a bit high..."

He was concerned about the child's self-esteem, so he didn't speak directly.

The child shook his legs, and the two rings on his ankles jingled. He ignored his words and stood up directly.

The single-tooth clogs stepped on the top of the wall, and the child ran and jumped twice quickly.

Watching the first episode with a wobbly look, I was frightened.

But as soon as the first phase wanted to reach out to caress, the child jumped off the fence, his sleeves flying like a real little dog in the anecdote.

In the next second, the little tengu nimbly landed on the ground and stood firmly.The single-tooth wooden clogs were worn on his feet, like a pair of flat shoes, and it didn't affect his movements as if he was going to fly easily in the next second.

Little Tengu tilted his head, glanced meaningfully, with a smile on his mouth, turned around and ran away lightly, and disappeared in a few moments.

"see you later."
