The head of the Genji family in Yokohama

Waking up the next day, Zhong also felt a hangover headache.

——Even if it is demon wine, it is still wine.

Zhong Ye stood up, looked at the surrounding decorations, and began to recall what happened after he finished drinking last night.

"Lord Ragegami." A thin voice sounded from Nakaya's left side.

Chuya's memory was interrupted by this voice at the point where he said the name "Minaraimitsu". He returned his attention to the present moment, and lowered his head along the sound source, so that his eyes fell on the pocket paper in a kneeling posture by his side. On the human shikigami.

Paper figurine shikigami: "Good afternoon, Lord Rageshin."

"...Good afternoon?" Chuya tilted his head, a little confused about the content of the current conversation.

Paper figurine Shikigami: "When you say 'Good Morning' in the morning, shouldn't it correspond to 'Good Morning' at noon?"

Zhong Ye: "..." Makes sense.

"Master Ragegami, do you feel unwell?" The paper figurine shikigami raised his head and looked up at Chuya.

"It's okay." The slight headache that Chuya felt when he just opened his eyes has completely disappeared now, "Is this still Seimei's house?"

Paper figurine Shikigami: "Yes. The master is teaching Young Master Genji how to learn Yin-Yang art, so I can't get away to receive you for the time being."

Young Master Genji?Chuya murmured, "Menaraiko?"

"Yes." The paper figurine shikigami never directly addresses human beings by their names. After it answered, it went straight to the point, "Master Rage God, please follow me."

Zhong also stood up in doubt, "Where are you going?"

Paper figurine Shikigami: "I will take you to wash up first, and then have lunch in the small hall."

After coming here, Nakahara Chuya, who didn't feel a trace of hunger: "..."

"Do you think it's strange?" The thin voice of the paper figurine shikigami came again, "Obviously, the master knows that as the god enshrined by Genji in the past dynasties - Master Rageshin doesn't need to eat human food, but he still has to take it with him." You go to the small hall."

After listening to the words of the Paper Doll Shikigami, combined with my current situation, I also captured the reason why I have not eaten or felt hungry since I came to the Heian Era——

In the Heian period when the boundary between gods and monsters was still ambiguous, monsters increased or maintained their own power through foreign objects and practice. The "foreign objects" referred to here also included food that could satisfy their hunger.

As for what "food" specifically refers to, it depends on each person's preference for food.

However, this kind of entanglement usually only appears on monsters.For the gods, it is enough for human beings to provide their own faith.

Central Plains is also a god enshrined by Genji. When the supply of faith is sufficient, he does not need to eat extra food at all.

After thinking this through, Nakaya naturally understood why the paper figurine shikigami expressed such emotion.

"Didn't you ask Seimei 'why'? " Zhongya followed behind the paper figurine shikigami, and went to wash up first to clear his mind.

Then, after washing up, he followed it to the small hall.

Paper figurine Shikigami: "You don't need to ask the master, I know the reason myself."

Feeling the inadvertent "tease" of the paper figurine, Chuya: "..."

It was because he was hungover and didn't hear the obvious hint in the paper figurine Shikigami's words just now.

"Oh. What's the reason?" Seeing that the paper figurine shikigami stopped talking, Chuya took the initiative to guide.

Paper Doll Shikigami: "Master purposely prolongs the time you stay in the courtyard."

Chuya, who just picked up the meatballs with chopsticks: "..."

Abe Seimei deliberately prolonged his stay in the courtyard?

Why would he do this?

Chuya bit the meatball's skin with one bite, and the vegetable soup flowing out of the meatball was just right for hot or cold, and a mouthful of warm soup slipped into his throat, "...delicious."

"Vegetable balls were Qing Ji's specialty during his lifetime." The paper figurine shikigami was only responsible for accompanying Chuya the whole time, and after hearing his sigh clearly, he immediately picked up the topic.

"Qing Ji?" Zhongya was taken aback, wasn't that the Genji shikigami he saw in Genji's mansion more than ten years later?

"Huh?" The paper figurine shikigami noticed Chuya's expression of surprise, "Master Aragami knows Master Kiyohime?"

"Ah... No way..." Zhongya took another bite of the meatball while denying it.

"Hmm." The paper figurine shikigami replied, but didn't continue.

The small hall fell into silence, and Zhongya looked at the paper figurine Shikigami, and seeing that it didn't speak anymore, he continued to eat the meatballs in the bowl.

"Why is my brother always distracted?" Qingming was lying on his side in the gazebo with a book in his hand. While drinking tea comfortably, he turned his eyes from the book to Yuan Lai who was standing in the courtyard and trying to communicate with the "wisteria tree" naked.

Abe Seimei was in a very good mood admiring the headache of the young master Genji, and from time to time he would say a word or two to disturb Raimitsu.

The plants in the courtyard began to move automatically without wind, and the wisteria flowers touched each other lightly, making a nice "rustling" sound.

The voice sounded like the laughter of a human girl.

"It's smiling." Minamoto Raimiko opened his eyes, and turned to Abe Seimei expressionlessly, waiting for the other party to tell him whether the "answer" was correct.

However, when he saw Abe Seimei, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by his master but treated him as casually as usual, Minamoto Raikou frowned and called seriously: "Senior brother."

"Junior brother, do you know why onmyojis usually don't put on such a serious expression when communicating with all things?"

Seeing Minamoto Raikou shaking his head, Seimei smiled and pointed in his direction with a scroll, "Human psykers are too serious and will scare them away."

"Junior brother, if you continue to practice in this way, in the future... all the monsters in the courtyard will have to stay away when they see you."

The corner of Minamoto Raimiko's mouth twitched, he turned his face away, and his eyes no longer met Abe Seimei's.

"nonsense."

Even though the other party turned his back to him again, Abe Seimei still heard clearly what his junior brother had said about him.

Qingming sighed softly, "Why does Junior Brother want to learn Yin Yang Art?"

"I have no choice." Minamoto Raimitsu stood where he was, hesitated for a long time, and answered words that were completely incompatible with his age.

"Even Patriarch Minamoto, to you, is nothing more than a "knife" that is easy to use. Minamoto Raikou closed his eyes, letting his sight fall into darkness.

After answering Seimei's question, Minamoto Raimitsu gradually calmed down. At this moment, he "seeed" the figure of the wisteria flower in front of him again. Slowly, he "saw" the figure of the wisteria flower gradually changing...

Wisteria transformed into the appearance of a human girl, then landed in front of Minamoto Raimiko, saluted him, called him by his real name, and then changed back to the original wisteria with a "giggle" smile.

"This is..." Minamoto Raimiko opened his eyes suddenly, the dazzling light broke into his field of vision directly, and he immediately raised his hand to cover the light in front of him.

Through his fingers, he saw a hazy orange-red figure.

The other party appeared very suddenly, and just when he was about to take a closer look at his figure, the picture in front of him disappeared completely.

The flower wall composed of layers of wisteria flowers completely blocked Minamoto Yorimitsu's sight.

No, not right.The accurate statement should be——

His sight was always blocked by the flower wall.So... the orange-red figure he saw just now was behind the flower wall?

When Minamoto turned around and closed his eyes, and continued to communicate with Wisteria in accordance with the method he taught, Seimei changed from lying down to sitting, observing the other party's performance carefully.

After confirming that Minamoto no longer focused on himself, Seimei began to manipulate the shikigami in Wisteria—making her appear to communicate with Minamoto again.

There was silence all around.

Suddenly, with a gentle breeze, Seimei moved his fingers, and the wisteria flower shikigami immediately changed from a human form back to its original form.

There was a playful smile on the corner of Abe Seimei's mouth, and his narrow eyes were slightly closed, "Junior brother."

"Did you hear me clearly this time?"

Minamoto Raimiko was thinking about it, but suddenly he was completely drawn back by the voice of questioning from behind.

He turned around, met Shang Qingming's narrow eyes full of smiles, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "It... called my name."

"Hmm... "it". Seimei, who instantly understood Minamoto's thoughts, chuckled and shook his head.

——Laiguang actually chose to use "it" between "she" and "it".

It seems that no matter what appearance a monster has, it is still a monster in front of my junior.

Hearing the repeated key words in Seimei's words, Minamoto fell silent.

Seimei only asked if he could hear the monster's words clearly, then...

Does it mean that, about the picture you "saw" just now, don't mention it before learning "spiritual vision" with him?

"The name is a very important "spell". When a monster calls your name...whether it is right or wrong, you must remember——don't answer it. "When Seimei manipulated Wisteria Fancy God to call Raikou's name, she suddenly remembered that she forgot to remind him of this.

So after calling Minamoto Raimitsu's name, he manipulated Shikigami to leave.

"Yes." Minamoto Raimiko nodded seriously.

Although in many cases, the senior brother seems to be very unreliable, however, when teaching himself Yin Yang, he is very reliable in most cases.

"Do you still want to practice "taijutsu" this afternoon? Qingming suddenly changed the subject.

Minato Raikou shook his head.

The fan in Abe Seimei's hand appeared out of thin air, and he tapped the fan on his palm, "That's just right, you and I will go to Xianghe."

"Xianghe?" Minamoto Raimitsu frowned, "Isn't that the territory of the Ubayashiki clan?"

"Yeah." Speaking of "Ubuyashiki Clan", the smile on Seimei's face faded away, "Suddenly received a greeting card last night..."

Abe Seimei: "There is no need to repeat the polite words in the post to you. The interesting news is the "curse" mentioned in the post. "

"Curse?" Minamoto Raimiko looked serious.

The boy's immature face full of seriousness is very interesting. Seimei admired it for a while, and then explained in a slow voice: "A strange curse that will cause newborns in the clan to die inexplicably. The matter is very important, I have to Go and see."

"When did this happen?" Minamoto Raimitsu had a chance to meet the clansman of Ubuyashiki once before, but it was not a friendly meeting.Recalling that time - the boy who was a few years older than himself lowered his head, with a sullen expression on his face, Minamoto Raimiko still felt uncomfortable.

"—Well." Qingming shook his head, "You have to go to see these questions for yourself first, and ask them in person before you can know the answers."

Abe Seimei tapped his palm again with his fan, "Will you go with me?"

"Junior brother." A smile appeared on Qingming's face again.

Minamoto Yorimitsu was expressionless, and he turned his face away, "I don't like the maternity house clan, but... this incident is strange, it may be related to the safety of the capital, I will go."

"Yeah." The smile on Seimei's face deepened, and then he sighed in a volume that Minamoto could not hear: "You really deserve to be the future Patriarch Minamoto."
