[Comprehensive] The world is being reset

At the beginning of April, when the cherry blossom trees on the street were filled with brilliant cherry blossoms, it was finally time for the students to start school.

"So, have you decided to come to Tokyo to study?"

In the HOMRA bar, a lazy blues song is spinning on the vinyl record on the wall, and half a wooden floor is covered by the midday sun.

The second son of the Ninzu family, who hadn't shown his face for a long time, was leaning against the bar, playing with a bar spoon in his hand, chatting with the people behind the bar.

"Yes. Ms. Nana said that Mr. Sawada said that it would be good for her to decide, so she thought about it and accepted our opinion."

"Tsk." Ryuichi Ninzu let out a meaningless exclamation, "It's really... quite irresponsible, who is it?"

Kusanagi Izumo did not comment on his words.After all, that is the father of the Zetian brothers and sisters. Although it is said that the fact that my child has grown up so much and does not know what his father looks like really makes people want to put a question mark on the name "father".

"There are such lovely children in the family, it's not easy to take care of them, be careful of being abducted by others."

Takaichi Ninzu added another sentence lightly, Kusanagi inexplicably felt that there was some subtle pointing meaning in his tone.He raised his head and glanced at the person opposite, "If you say such a dangerous speech, I will throw you out."

"Well, my fault." The young man raised his hand as if surrendering, with a lazy smile on his lips, "For the sake of sending my nephew over to your little princess to be a cow and a horse, at any rate Take it easy on me."

"Speaking of this..."

Kusanagi Izumo put down the whiskey bottle in his hand and glanced in the direction of the window.A flat tatami mat was laid out in front of the French window with the curtains half drawn. The little boy with dark blue short hair who was picked up by Ryuzuru was sitting opposite Ya Sawada in front of a sandalwood table. Two children, one holding white and the other holding black, are sitting opposite each other and playing Go.

"Does your brother know that you brought his only son here?" Kusanagi asked.

"I know." Ryuichi Ninzu shrugged lazily, and this slightly vulgar gesture was made by him to add a careless chic.

"Although the old man still has the same argument, the younger generation will always have their own ideas. Times are changing."

He elongated his voice and sighed with seriousness. Kusanagi Izumo recalled the eldest son of the Ninzu family who had met once, and a serious and dignified face appeared in his mind.

I really can't see it.

"But having said that, since when did you Wuwuluo accept girls?"

Um?Kusanagi's thoughts were pulled back by Ninzu Takashi's words. He looked at the winking face in front of him, and subconsciously wanted to complain, what kind of "speaking again" are you talking about?

"You mean Miss Tokuko?"

The female ghost lady who was sitting by the window playing chess with two children heard her name, raised her head in doubt and glanced towards the bar.Kusanagi immediately smiled at her, indicating that there was nothing else to do.

"Hmm... is there a problem?"

Ryuichi Ninzu heard something from Kusanagi's tone, and his expression couldn't help becoming serious.

"Well, it's not a big problem, but you'd better not provoke her."

When saying this, Kusanagi couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the window again.

The female ghost lady in red sat beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, her sitting posture was classical and elegant.She was still wearing the crimson Tang dress, which was elegant and gorgeous, and the red hem hung down to the off-white tatami under her feet, which was almost dazzling.However, contrary to the conspicuous presence, Miss Ghost herself has no publicity at all, like the lady raised by poems, books and nephrite in the deep house of the ancient nobles, she is gentle and warm, but she is not the kind of plain boiled water Pale and soft.The silhouette of her sitting there with a faint smile seems to be condensed in a long story. It is really a top beauty that no matter how good a painter is, he can't leave it on paper with the tip of his pen.

To be honest, the lethality of such a beauty on men is almost at the level of a nuclear explosion. During the time she appeared in HOMRA, the number of customers in the bar tripled.Although no one dared to make trouble in the bar run by the Red Clan, such a situation gave Kusanagi some faint headaches occasionally.

But how to put it, it is actually understandable.If he didn't know the identity of Miss Tokuko's female ghost, if such a beauty appeared on the side of the road, even he couldn't help but go forward to strike up a conversation.

As a senior playboy, Ryuichi Ninzu understood the meaning of Kusanagi's words almost immediately.He seemed to have a headache rubbing his forehead, and said helplessly, "You misunderstood, what I said just now was purely out of curiosity."

"Hehe." Kusanagi Izumo smiled at him with a face, and put the adjusted Manhattan on the bar, obviously not believing it.

"It's true." Ninzu Takashi stretched out his hand to grab the wine glass, and heaved a long sigh.He fumbled in his pocket with the other hand and pulled out a long, thin cigarette.The cigarette was twirled between his fingers, but he put it on the bar instead of being lit.

"I don't even have the mood to think about that right now."

Kusanagi Izumo tidied up the shaker and ice cube box on the workbench, turned around and took out a bottle of orange juice from the small refrigerator behind, preparing to make some non-alcoholic drinks for the two children playing chess over there.After hearing Renzu's voice, he turned his head and glanced at him, accurately capturing the flash of exhaustion in the young man's eyes.

Kusanagi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What happened? Speaking of which, you really haven't been here for a long time."

"...It's Mizuki." Ninzuru took a sip from his wine glass, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally opened his mouth in a low voice, as if a little vented.

"Oh..." Hearing his fiancée's name, Kusanagi Izumo immediately nodded clearly, and quickly dispelled his curiosity, very ruthlessly, "Don't talk about the grievances of the wealthy family here."

It's about idiot men complaining about women, conflicts of interests between big families and so on.Sorry, he's really not that interested.

However, if it is not mentioned here, there is no other place to say it.Ninzu Takashi ignored his friend's refusal just now, took a sip of his wine and continued talking.

"Mei Yue is back looking for me again."

"She said that she made a mistake before and cursed me because she was dizzy. After that, I can do whatever I want, and it doesn't matter if I want to continue looking for women outside. Please don't break the engagement."

"Hmm..." Speaking of the curse, Kusanagi Izumo involuntarily glanced in the direction of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ryuichi Ninzu didn't notice his distraction, probably because he had held some words in his heart for too long, he didn't even need time to organize the words, and said all the next words in one breath.

"But how can I do this kind of thing. I can't... hurt her like this when I know she likes me. "

He put down the wine glass irritably, and the thick-bottomed glass hit the wooden bar with a crisp sound.

"Can you understand?" The man stared at his friend behind the bar.

Because of the "curse" he just mentioned, Izumo Kusanagi lost his mind for a while. Now that he was staring at him, the young man who couldn't keep up with the rhythm subconsciously said "Huh?"

"That's it..." Ninzu Takashi turned his head and scanned the hall, looking for a reference, "If Mi-chan tells you that..."

"Ryuichi." Kusanagi Izumo looked at him expressionlessly, "You should go out."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Realizing that the person he was just grabbing seems to be wrong, Takashi Ninzuzu scratched his hair and immediately apologized.He seemed to feel a little stuffy, he let out a long breath and unbuttoned the top button of a shirt.

Fragmented dark blue hair slid from his forehead, and a strand or two fell between his brows.Kusanagi looked at the tiredness between his brows and forgave him for his slip of the tongue just now.

"What does your family say?"

"Of course the family doesn't want me to break off my engagement with her. After all, our family has cooperated with the Fujiwara family for many years."

Fujiwara?

Kusanagi Izumo raised his eyebrows at the sudden mention of this surname by Takaichi Ninzu, and glanced in the direction of the French windows again.

He hadn't noticed it before, but if he remembered correctly, Miss Ghost's surname seemed to be "Fujiwara", which was the same as Ryuichi Ninzu's fiancée.

In the Heiankyo era, "Fujiwara" was the common surname of nobles, and only nobles had surnames at that time.Of course, the Fujiwara surname of the female ghost lady and the fiancee of Ryuichi Ninzuru's fiancee have different gold content.

Kusanagi Izumo didn't know if he was being sensitive. The Fujiwara clan, which was at its peak in the Heian-kyo era, gradually declined since the samurai class took control of the political power.After the Meiji era, the emperor ordered all people to have surnames, so many ordinary people also changed to Fujiwara.

The Fujiwara family that is now on good terms with the Ninzu family only started to make a fortune after the war, and it is not the same as the Fujiwara family thousands of years ago.

It shouldn't matter... He was thinking distractedly.

The second son of the Ninzu family obviously regarded Kusanagi's place as a spiritual trash can. After vomiting a lot of bitterness, he took the car keys and left refreshed. He didn't even care about the trivial matter of leaving a nephew in HOMRA. .

After Ninzu Takashi left, Kusanagi Izumo was still standing behind the bar counter, wiping glasses and thinking about something.When he put the wine glass back, he glanced at the open orange juice and realized that he had just mixed half of the drink, so he picked out two more goblets, thought for a while and included Miss Ghost.

When he turned his head and saw the figure standing in front of the bar, he was startled and almost threw the glass out.

"De...Miss Dezi..."

"Ah, sorry, did I scare you?"

The beauty in red who was waiting quietly with her hands folded gracefully showed an apologetic smile on her face, "I forgot, I will remember to make footsteps next time."

"No, it's fine, please don't mind. I'll get used to it."

Kusanagi Izumo exhaled and put the glass in his hand on the workbench.To be honest, Ms. Dezi's elegant and beautiful face is a bit foul. Not only does it make people forget her identity as a female ghost most of the time, but as long as she shows a little apologetic expression, no one can bear to blame her anymore.

Probably this is also the reason why the other boys of Barbara adapted and accepted her existence so quickly.

After all, this is a world of faces.

Somewhat curiously watching Kusanagi fiddling with the bartending tools on the workbench, Tokuko quickly explained why she came to Kusanagi.

"That one just now, is that Mr. Ninjazu who was troubled by the curse before?"

"Ah, yes."

Kusanagi Izumo poured the orange juice into the glass, and then remembered that the "curse" of the unlucky guy in front of him seemed to be related to the person in front of him?

A drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Sawada Ya told him the story of Ms. Tokuko before. How could he have forgotten that this female ghost lady who has been let down by men seems to hate a merciful man like Renzu the most? ?

Seeming to see what he was thinking, Miss Ghost gave him a gentle smile, "Please don't worry, I don't have any complaints about Mr. Renzu, I just want to remind you of something."

Kusanagi Izumo put down the orange juice, his expression became serious, "Please tell me."

"It's true that I was awakened by that Miss Fujiwara." She paused at this point, and added with some hesitation, "That Miss Fujiwara seems to be of the same clan as me."

The blond-haired young man froze for a moment, thinking in disbelief that the parent of the Fujiwara family preached that he had real Fujiwara blood, could it still be true?

"Although it is so shallow that it is almost gone, there is indeed some connection, which is why I was able to be awakened by her." Tokuko seemed to smile helplessly, "After all, the Fujiwara clan was a big family back then."

Ah, so it is.The original Fujiwara family was changed by Nakatomi, and after Fujiwara did not wait, the Fujiwara family was divided into four families.The three families that declined, plus the branches of the Fujiwara Kita family that changed their surnames later: Konoe, Matsuden Kujo, and the branch family was later branched out.Regardless of the surname and the bloodline alone, there are indeed many people who have been passed down from the Fujiwara clan.

Kusanagi Izumo nodded suddenly.

Tokuko continued, "At that time she did ask me for something, but I didn't promise her."

Her words made Kusanagi Izumo a little surprised.They all thought that the curse on Yushi Ninzu was from Tokuko, but...isn't it?

"I promised Jun Ji that I would not take the initiative to harm others."

Tokuko said calmly, "Although it's because of me that Ninzu-sama did suffer some bad luck from Ms. Fujiwara, but it will definitely not be to the extent that he will see blood."

The blond young man was silent for two seconds.If Tokuko really wasn't the one who did it at the beginning, then the things inside...

After thinking about it for a moment, Kusanagi saw that the bloody storm was about to hit, and immediately made up his mind to call Ryuichi Ninzuzu back later. His fiancée who came back to look for him might also have a problem.

Kusanagi Izumo nodded solemnly to Miss Ghost, "Thank you for your reminder."

A gentle smile appeared on Tokuko's beautiful face.

"Ji Jun likes you very much, and I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Although Ji Jun and I are here, there is no need to worry about the monsters, but..."

She paused for a moment, and then whispered like a dream, "Sometimes humans are scarier than monsters."

The author has something to say: Let me explain, after Fujiwara Bubiwai, the Fujiwara family was divided into four families, the Fujiwara Kita family controlled the political power, and the other three families were all lost.The Fujiwara family also often fights with each other. Here Tokuko comes from the declining Fujiwara family. The surname is real, but the power is gone, so he is bullied by scumbags.

In ancient Japan, there should have been no system of non-marriage with the same surname, but Tokuko was only a lover at that time, and it was not considered a marriage.

To be honest, the Heian-kyo period was really open, let’s find out about the marriage system.
