[Comprehensive] The ghost lamp of the blue lamp

Natsume made an appointment with Qingdeng as agreed a long time ago, but it wasn't because he was going to play, but because he was in some trouble and couldn't find anyone to talk to for a while, so he went to Qingdeng.

It just so happened that Qing Deng got tired of going to work recently, so he took this opportunity to leave work and go to play in this world.

Of course, he didn’t forget to give Natsume a gift every time. Apart from the bento he gave for the first time, Qingdeng would ask the monsters from Yokai Express to help him give it to Natsume every week. As for the source of the gift, it is self-evident .

Anyway, all of them are things that are used in daily life, all made by Natsume's father and Natsuki's mother, and sometimes even by Natsume Reiko.

Like this time, what Qing Deng brought to Natsume was a complete set of kimono with fans, socks, clogs and haori.

The material of the kimono is provided by Natsume Reiko, and it is said that it was given to her by the god she serves, Sakuya Hime-sama. It not only blesses the power of Sakuya Hime, but also because these fabrics come from the hands of the goddess, so they have their own Certain protective effect.

Originally, these materials were treasured by Natsume's family because they were too precious, but after meeting Natsume, the three members of Iamu's family immediately searched out all the things that their family had treasured all the year round, and used them all generously. On Natsume.

This set of kimonos was made by Natsume's mother herself. Even Natsume Reiko, who is not good at needlework, helped to make some places that don't need to care about craftsmanship. It is said that Natsume's father went to a shop that specializes in making clogs to ask others to learn from them. Made after a period of crafting.

All in all, this set of kimono is full of Natsume's deep love for Natsume from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom.

While delivering the gift, Qing Deng also said: "Natsume's father and the others said they would give you a surprise, but they never let me tell, so are you surprised now?"

Of course Natsume was pleasantly surprised. Looking at the kimono neatly placed in the box, his beautiful cat eyes turned red.

Then he couldn't wait to take Qingdeng's mobile phone to start a video conversation with his parents.

Natsume's father and Natsume's mother on the other end of the phone (Natsume Reiko has gone back to work) naturally have been waiting for this video conversation after knowing that Qingdeng is going to the world. In order to be able to video with Natsume, their family also specially bought it. I bought a camera with a particularly good effect, and even replaced the computer at home with a new one.

After receiving the video, the two sides talked for half an hour before hanging up the video reluctantly. If it wasn't for the chat software they used, Qing Deng would have worried about his phone bill.

Cross-border long-distance is more expensive than international long-distance.

Natsume turned off the video contentedly with a smile on his face, and handed the phone back to Qingdeng, a little embarrassed: "Letting you sit alone is boring."

"No, am I playing with you?" Qing Deng shook the phone that belonged to Natsume that he took from Natsume, and returned it to Natsume.

The two of them returned to the two boxes on the ground. In one box were fans, clogs and white socks, and in the other was a kimono that was folded together so that no pattern could be seen.

At this time, Qingdeng was thinking of a bit of mischief, and asked Natsume with some malicious intentions: "Do you know how to wear this kimono? You are not going to a banquet today, why don't you just wear it? There are special features on this kimono. With the power of it, ordinary monsters will not doubt your identity when they see it."

I said before that Natsume asked Qingdeng to come because he encountered trouble, and this trouble was that Chang Jingsi sent an invitation letter to Natsume for some unknown purpose some time ago, inviting him to participate in an exorcism event. A party of sorcerers.

Natsume didn't want to participate in such a party at all, but since Shiba Shizuka made an invitation, he naturally couldn't refuse it.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Natsume could still hear from the guy's oblique words that the other party was threatening him, and if he didn't go, he would tell the Fujiwara couple his secret—that he could see monsters.

So even if he was extremely unwilling, Natsume had to compromise.But he didn't intend to appear on such an occasion with his real face, so as not to get too involved with those demon masters, so they agreed early in the morning that Natsume would attend the banquet as a shikigami this time.

However, Chang Jingji originally planned to let Natsume pretend to be his shikigami, but Natsume naturally wouldn't let him do what he wanted. He naturally thought at this time that he didn't have to worry about the blue lantern of the demon master because of his special status.

Hence the invitation.

Naturally, Qingdeng would not refuse the invitation of his little friend, and was very interested to see what the gathering of demon masters would be like, so he agreed.

And such a party does require formal attire, and in view of the classical style of the exorcist, wearing a kimono is the best choice.

But Natsume didn't miss the weird smile on Qingdeng's face, he didn't answer Qingdeng's words, but checked the kimono first.

These kimonos are folded together, and the top layer is a black haori. Because of the folding, Natsume can only see a piece of pure black cloth.

But when he picked up the haori and revealed the kimono underneath, Natsume knew why Qingdeng had that strange expression.

As I said before, these fabrics for making kimonos were given to Natsume Reiko by Saki Yeji. This lord is not only a very beautiful goddess, but also a flower god. One of her representatives is cherry blossoms, so Among the fabrics she gave to Natsume Reiko, it was inevitable that they were colorful fabrics with flower patterns.

Natsume's family chooses thousands of items, and the kimono prepared for Natsume is made of such fabrics.

Natsume took out the kimono and unfolded it, and saw that this kimono was a bright yet elegant purple-blue color. Although this color was a bit too bright, it was barely acceptable for men to wear.

So if that was the case, Qing Deng wouldn't laugh so strangely.

But the bad thing is that this kimono is not a solid color kimono, it also has patterns.

The whole kimono is unfolded, and three arc-shaped "rainbows" composed of large pink and white cherry blossoms run through the whole kimono without intersection. The shortest rainbow of cherry blossoms is only concentrated on the right sleeve, and the longest one is in the middle. The right shoulder slides across the back to the right hem, and the last remaining one starts from the right waist and crosses the rest of the hem. It is obviously a very simple pattern, but because of the large number of cherry blossoms, it is very beautiful when combined together. Very elegant and gorgeous.

Even when he looked back at the black haori, it was not all black as he thought, and there were also patterns on the hem, but there were not so many, but only a few sporadic cherry blossom branches.

Such fabrics are generally only used in women's kimonos, right?But judging from the style, this is indeed a men's kimono?

Natsume looked at the kimono in his hand, not sure if his parents and grandmother made a mistake somewhere.

At this time, the cat teacher who was drinking the wine brought by the blue lantern also came over, looked at the kimono and rolled all over the floor with a smile: "Haha, Natsume, you must look good in this, you must wear it, this is Reiko and the others. Effort!"

Qingdeng explained to the confused Natsume: "Everyone in the other world has been wearing kimonos all the time, so the development of kimonos is not the same as in the present world. The distinction between men and women is not so strict, and it is better than the ones in hand. Men’s clothing is nothing, there are more gorgeous ones.”

Qing Deng himself has a bunch, but he won't tell Natsume that under normal circumstances he won't wear those overly gorgeous kimonos.

After a pause, Qing Deng teased again: "You know how to wear it? This is your family's hard work. It would be too wasteful if you don't wear it. I'm still waiting to take some photos of you and bring them back to Xia Mu's mother and the others to see." .”

Of course, in fact, he just wanted Natsume to wear this gorgeous kimono like himself, and even Natsume's mother and the others suddenly thought of making kimonos.

Friends, it is natural to share with each other, how can he be the only one who is harmed by the aesthetic scourge of hell.

Natsume was stunned for a moment, and then he became entangled. He couldn't accept such a gorgeous kimono, and it was going to a gathering of demon masters. If he wore this, he would definitely attract attention.

But it was made by his relatives for him, and he was reluctant to let him not wear it, and his parents would be sad if they found out.

He didn't want to upset them, but he didn't want to draw attention either.

Natsume struggled, and when he caught sight of Qingdeng's hostile face, his eyes lit up, and he said with an idea: "Okay, I can wear this, but Brother Qingdeng, you have to change into a more gorgeous one." That's fine, after all, you are my 'master', how can you be compared to me? Right?"

I didn't expect the fire to burn my own green lamp, I was startled when I heard this, and my smile cut off.

It stopped abruptly: "Huh?"

Natsume was still talking: "Didn't you come this time to help me divert unnecessary attention? And you also said that such clothes are very common in hell, and there are more gorgeous ones."

"So, brother Qingdeng, you should put on a more gorgeous one, and accompany me to the gathering of demon masters."

If you want to make an embarrassment, everyone will do it together. Natsume will be happy if there is someone like him.

Hearing this proposal, Mr. Cat started rolling all over the floor again, laughing and said that he wanted to see Ao Deng wearing a kimono, and it must be more gorgeous than Natsume.

And Qing Deng was immediately confused by the prank he started, and he didn't even have the right to say no.

The retribution came so fast that he couldn't even react.
