In Japan, many people know Hyakki Yakō.The Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts is equivalent to a special custom.But few people know that the Hundred Ghosts of the Night really exist.

At least for the exorcists, it is best not to go out on the day of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk.Even if there are many powerful and rare monsters in the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts, the demon master will not be stupid enough to catch those monsters during the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts.

The Hyakki Night Walk does not happen everywhere, at least in Yayuan, there are very few such big events.

"Recently... what day is it?" There were no guests, and she was lazily lying on the sofa on April [-]st, while Mao Lilan was cleaning up, Natsume helped, and Conan was reading.

"Recently... it should be the Chinese New Year soon." Mao Lilan counted the days and replied.

"Ah, no, that's not what I said..." April [-]st smiled and waved his hands.

"Does Natsume know what time it is?"

In fact, although it has only been nearly [-] months since they met, due to the particularity of the store, Mao Lilan vaguely knows that some of the customers of this store may not be so simple, but the specific owner Natsume seems to be hiding it from them intentionally .Of course Mao Lilan also asked, but April [-] just smiled and said "You don't need to touch these" and didn't say any more.

In this way, Lan has nothing to say.

"Huh?" Natsume was confused.

Sigh on April [-]st.Although this Natsume has also seen monsters since he was a child, he is even more ignorant than before. He really doesn't know the customs and activities of monsters.

"If it's really coming soon...Natsume, can I ask you to go to the warehouse and get a painting? It's about this size." April [-]st gestured with his hand.

"I'll get it." Mao Lilan just heard it too, and walked straight to the warehouse.April [-] shrugged.

"Wow!" Then Mao Lilan screamed.

"Lan!" Conan rushed into the warehouse almost instantly, and then he was also dumbfounded.

"Hey, why are young people so rude nowadays?" the cat holding the lantern said a little dissatisfied.

"you you you……"

"Long time no see, Miss Deng." I don't know when April [-]st arrived at the door, saw the cat demon, and smiled on April [-]st, "I was thinking about that time, and I was still thinking about when you will come."

"That's right. The season is here. Who are these children? They look very troublesome." Deng looked at Ran, Conan, and Natsume outside the warehouse, and his originally slender pupils suddenly became round and big.

"However, you seem to be deeply involved with them."

"Yes. Please come out, I have prepared the food and wine."

The appetizers are indeed very rich, such as vinegar-smoked dried fish, salmon sushi, and shochu on the side, which makes people appetite.

"Your craftsmanship is still so good." Deng sighed. "Now I can manage the store well."

"But it's still not as good as Miss Yuko."

"You are quite famous over there now. You are almost catching up with Yuko." The cat demon said, as if thinking of something, his voice was a little melancholy.

"You really have changed a lot now, more and more like Yuko."

"People will always change." April [-] took a sip of wine, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"That's right. That's Yuko's pipe." The cat demon pointed to the pipe on April [-]st and asked.

"Yes. This is left by Miss Yuko."

"Sure enough. You are really looking more and more like Yuko now." The cat demon smiled, "Yuko really changed you a lot."

"The wine is finished! Natsume, you guys bring some more wine!" Mo Ke held the empty wine bottle in his hand, jumping and jumping.

Conan still can't accept that there are such things as monsters in the world.Conan felt that his worldview had been severely hit.

Mao Lilan looked at the lamp, her mind was still blank.

The only normal one is Natsume.But Natsume was now wondering what charades these two were playing.Urged by Mokona to get the wine, the three of them finally came back to their senses.

"Brother Natsume, do you see monsters all the time?"

Only then did Conan remember that he was not surprised to see the cat demon Natsume at all.

"This one……"

After getting the wine quickly, Natsume really didn't want to linger on this topic.

After drinking for three rounds, Deng looked at the time: "Hey, have you stayed here for so long?"

"So, are you going this year?"

"I would like to participate too. But...you know my situation. Let these children go this year."

Lantern handed the ghost lamp in his hand to Natsume, then raised his hand, and the ghost lamp reappeared in his hand.

"Then, I take my leave."

"take care."

"You..." Deng hesitated, "Are you still waiting for Yuko to come back?"

"Yes."

The lamp who got the answer nodded slightly, and then a flash of light flashed, and the lamp left.

"Miss Yuko?" Lan was curious.It feels like this person is important.

"Yes. I will always wait for Miss Yuko to come back. I will never die until she comes back."

April [-]st did not explain this sentence, "Quan Lu Duo Lu, come and help me pack my things."

"That's right." April [-]st turned around and pointed at the ghost lamp in Natsume's hand, "Are you going to participate in the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts together?"

****

So now Conan couldn't understand why he agreed in a flash of his brain.But Mao Lilan couldn't tell. She was afraid of these ghosts, monsters, and so on. How could she come to participate in the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts? Isn't this just making herself feel guilty?

It's four in the middle of the night.Conan really didn't understand why he didn't sleep and ran to this wilderness.

Natsume held the ghost lamp and looked around.On April [-]st, they said that the Hyakki Night Parade will start at four o'clock for them to participate on time.

But there is nothing around here at all?

"Brother Natsume, look, the ghost lamp is shining." Conan was still very observant.

Natsume hastily opened the bag wrapped with the ghost lamp, and found that the ghost lamp was glowing, but it wasn't hot.

"Huh?" Conan also found that there seemed to be a note in the cloth bag:

"Only the person holding the ghost lamp can see it and participate. Two people must hold it at the same time. Be careful, you must not let go after participating, otherwise terrible things will happen."

But what is the terrible thing, the note did not say.Natsume didn't know either.In fact, before he came, Mr. Cat had warned him in the same way, but when asked what would happen, he kept silent.Teacher Cat also warned him that he must not bring the account of friends.

"Then... Conan-kun?"

Even if the person who wants to hold hands in his heart is not Natsume, Conan still obediently puts his hand on the ghost lamp.Then, the ghost lamp became brighter and brighter, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw many monsters with ghost lamps in front of me.

Not to mention the strange appearance of these monsters, their painting style is very strange, it feels like they are inside the painting.The Hyakki Night Walk is indeed an annual gathering of monsters.

"Hundred ghosts at night?" Conan muttered to himself.In the Edo period, there were indeed many painters who painted such a picture of a night walk of a hundred ghosts.So they are in the world of painting?

"What are you dawdling about, don't hurry up, you will fall behind soon." Some monsters noticed Natsume and Conan and urged them.

The two joined the team in a hurry, not daring to speak too much.After all, there are monsters here, and it is indeed a bit dangerous for the two of them to mix in.

Of course, the possibility that the two were shocked by this scene cannot be ruled out.

The lead of the Hundred Ghosts at Night is very long, and it is impossible to see where the monsters are going.Slowly following the monsters, Conan felt more and more that monsters were really amazing.

Natsume is also more relaxed now.He didn't feel any malice here.But he is still more concerned about the fact that the shopkeeper and Mr. Cat emphasized not to let go.What are the consequences of this?

Unfortunately, he soon found out.When Conan was walking, a little monster in front of him suddenly stopped. Conan was looking at the monster next to him. Unfortunately, he fell down and let go of his hand.

When Natsume pulled Conan up, he realized that all the monsters had gathered around them.

"Yeah, it's human."

"It turned out to be a human being."

"How could there be humans here?"

"Humans, what a hassle."

"Huh? This smell is a bit familiar... Isn't it Natsume who has a friend account?"

"Book of Friends? Natsume?"

Natsume didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to him, and he didn't expect so many monsters to know that he had a friend account.Intuition told Natsume, run now!

Pulling Conan, Natsume immediately ran away without waiting for the monster to make any moves.Conan didn't understand why he ran up suddenly, what would happen to the monster behind him?

It is indeed what it is going to be.

"Eat them!"

"Take the friend account!"

Conan ran very hard.Natsume also ran very hard. Fortunately, he listened to Mr. Cat and didn't bring a friend account.

It was not so hard for the monster to chase after him.After all, some monsters can fly, and some have long legs, so chasing them is not so troublesome.

Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, suddenly the monster who had been looking like a beckoning cat jumped out.A light pattern appeared on the forehead of the Lucky Cat, and many monsters were driven away by the light pattern.

"Teacher?!" Natsume exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph, I knew what trouble you would cause." Teacher Cat turned into a prototype, "Come up, I'll take you away!"

Natsume hurriedly pulled Conan, who seemed to be stupefied, onto Mr. Kitty's back.This trick was very useful, but many monsters here can fly. Although they may not be as powerful as Teacher Cat, they are better in numbers.Teacher Cat has to take care of the two humans on his back, so he is at a very disadvantageous position.

After all, Mr. Cat was outnumbered, so he had no choice but to land beside a big tree.

Soon, more monsters gathered, and they were about to be eaten by monsters. Natsume and Conan were very nervous. Mr. Cat let out a threatening growl, warning the monsters that were getting closer.

"No! Please don't hurt Natsume-sama!"

"Natsume-sama is a good person, a good person!"

Suddenly, a few little monsters came out from the group of monsters, ran to Natsume, and shouted loudly.

"How can you be sure that this human being is harmless?"

"Master Natsume has helped us a lot!"

"Actually... I seem to have been helped by this human being."

"Me too."

"Ah, is that all?"

Having said that, some monsters remembered that Natsume had helped them.

It may be because the running was too fast, and something fell off the steps originally used to wrap the ghost lamp.

"Ah! Aren't these the tears of the phoenix!"

"If Phoenix is ​​willing to give them tears, then they should be human beings with pure hearts."

"Okay. Let them taste it too." Dashu behind Natsume spoke.

"Bring over the ghost lamp."

Natsume hesitated for a moment, and slowly handed the ghost lamp forward.

A crystal yellow liquid slowly flowed into the ghost lamp.The liquid exudes a faint fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

"This is the nectar that can only be enjoyed by participating in the Hyakki Night Walk once a year. Please cherish it and drink it."

"You seem to have met that child with a special aura. He has changed now, and I believe you will change soon."

****

Back to the store exhausted, I prepared other appetizers on April [-]st.

"Ah, thank you very much for bringing this nectar. I'm ready, let's drink it together?"

"The nectar of the Hundred Ghosts' Night Walk is more delicious than any fine wine in this world."

Right, Miss Yuko?
