Miss Zashiki

The coaxed Mr. Yaolang didn't speak for a long time.

He just lay quietly on her lap, his eyelashes were half closed, and then his habitually cool eyes were covered, and the whole delicate and beautiful face like white jade almost showed a kind of cuteness. Illusion—For a moment, Fu Xiaoyue felt like a cat taking a nap under the sun in the afternoon.

If she hadn't seen his fingers resting on his chin, still clasping them lightly, she would have wondered if he had fallen asleep in this position.

What's more strange is that, staying there without saying a word to each other, Fu Xiaoyue inexplicably felt that the stagnation and boredom of the past few days gradually dissipated a lot.

Seeing a few strands of soft light brown hair slipping out from under his deep purple scarf, she even felt itchy to rub her hands.

Then, before she realized it, her fingers were already twirling the strands of hair and starting to braid them.

Seeing that the other party was still nestling there obediently, without showing any dissatisfaction, Fu Xiaoyue's subordinates secretly braided him became more confident.

After weaving a few strands, seeing that he still seemed to have no intention of speaking, Fu Xiaoyue finally couldn't help it, and broke the silence first:

"I said... Apart from the incident just now, don't you have anything else to say?"

Hearing the words, the drug seller replied in a low voice without raising his eyes, with a lazy nasal voice.

After pausing for a few seconds, he asked softly again: "What do you want to hear from me?"

Fu Xiaoyue murmured in a low voice, a little speechless: "Why do I want to hear what you have to say...Mr. Yaolang, I think your focus is too crooked...I heard those two guys say so many strange things before. If it's weird, don't you have any other thoughts?"

"It's true... It seems that you have some special feelings and want to share them with me."

Having said that, he raised his eyes to look at her, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Let me guess—don't you understand?"

"..."

Fu Xiaoyue twisted his fingers around his hair, tugged slightly in annoyance, and then sighed long and old-fashionedly, and confessed:

"To be honest, I really didn't understand most of them... Actually, if they hadn't called my name, I would have thought they had misunderstood the person."

"Should, no, admit your mistake."

The drug seller said in a low voice, then closed his eyes casually again.

Looking at his calm expression yesterday, Fu Xiaoyue couldn't help but flatten his lips: "But I don't have the slightest impression of what they said, what Master Qingming, what Master Ge Ye, what hundreds of years ago... ...I don't remember at all."

Not only did she not remember, she simply didn't know at all - Hara Zashiki didn't even leave her with a single fragment of memory.

Even if she used the limited game settings that she remembered in her mind and tried to make an analogy with the current situation, she still couldn't figure it out at all.

——It’s okay for Seimei, after all, as the protagonist of the entire game, all the main plots revolve around him.

In fact, as early as at the beginning, when she just realized that she had traveled to this game world, she immediately inquired about the name "Abe Seimei". "It's basically a person who lived hundreds of years ago. Even if he was indeed an extremely remarkable Onmyoji, he would have died hundreds of years ago.

——As for the name "Ke Ye", she has seen it before in the game. If I remember correctly, Ge Ye is Tamamo's former friend and Abe Seimei's biological mother.

Then, the big tengu said that she was "coming soon", and said Ge Ye had other children besides Qingming?Then why do you say Seimei is coming back soon?How can a person who died hundreds of years ago come back from the dead?Was he reincarnated into his original mother's belly?

... No matter how you think about it, it's embarrassing, okay? ?

Moreover, even if all of this is left aside, what makes her feel most depressed and strange right now is the attitude of the medicine seller.

Without him, it is this gentleman who behaves—

Too, too, Yu, cold, quiet, too.

——After knowing her "true identity", he didn't seem to be frightened at all;

——Hearing her say that she "doesn't remember" everything before, he didn't seem to be surprised at all;

——Even just now, he was teasing her calmly, did he not understand the words of Daitengu and Yukino...

The former Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan even put on a posture of being ready for her, but the drug seller seemed to think that what he saw and heard all day was not worth mentioning.

——Big brother, how on earth did you manage to be so calm?ah! ?

Fu Xiao looked at him lazily lying on his lap yesterday, with a relaxed and comfortable look, trying very hard to catch up with the other party's spiritual realm, but he couldn't understand it, and wanted to catch him for a while. He shook his shoulders a few times.

In fact, if I really think about it, she told him her "real name" before...

——So, is it possible that at that time, he already knew her "identity" and made psychological preparations early, so he was able to be so calm now?

——But the problem is, she remembers that time, when she knew her name was "Zashiki"...he seemed to be acting very normal too!

——No matter how you think about it, it’s a dead end, isn’t it! ?

Fu Xiaoyue stared at him with a very serious expression, he was so dazed by himself that he almost couldn't help but began to suspect——

This guy...could it be a facial expression neuromuscular abnormality?So even if the heart is turbulent, the surface has to be calm?

The medicine seller with his eyes closed, the few strands of hair on his sideburns were unconsciously pulled painfully by her, he sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to open his eyes and look at her:

"... What strange things are you thinking about? What else do you want to ask? I can't understand what they said, do you need me to explain it to you word by word?"

Fu Xiao often experienced all kinds of cynicism and irony yesterday, and thus developed a certain resistance. At this time, he was also not guilty, and let out a cold snort without changing his face:

"Let's leave that question first. What I want to know more now is——Mr. Yaolang, when did you know my identity?"

Seeing her aggressive appearance, the drug seller raised his eyebrows slightly amused.

Fu Xiaoyue said that he didn't like this, and continued to frown and stare at him: "If what Hidemoto Hanakain said is true, 'Zashiki Doji' is indeed Abe Seimei's famous shikigami—then have you heard of it before?" past me?"

"Hanakain Hidemoto is right. The name 'Zashiki' is indeed very famous."

The pharmacist saw her attentive and unblinking eyes, couldn't help but smile slightly, and then continued very calmly:

"I don't just hear about you, though. I saw you a long time ago."

Fu Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment.

It took a few seconds for her to realize that he was referring to the "Zashiki Doji" whom he had seen before.

——That's not me...

Subconsciously thinking about it in her heart, she asked another question: "If you put it this way...so when you met me in Hanamachi, you actually 'recognized' me?"

"No."

He shook his head: "At that time, I only met you once. Moreover, you at that time were different from what you are now... It's hard to recognize you. "

Fu Xiaoyue was very surprised to hear this.

——She looks different now from "the former Zashiki warji"?

Even the drug seller who pays so much attention to the truth of form said that her figure is different from before, it seems that there is a big difference...

Then along the way, neither humans nor monsters knew her. Could it be related to this?

But think about it from another angle, if there is really such a big difference, why did Daitengu and Yukino say before that they found her thanks to seeing the "portrait on the arrest warrant"?

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so Fu Xiaoyue had no choice but to stop this line of thought, and first asked the most curious point: "What's the difference? What did 'I' look like at that time?"

Asking this in his mouth, Fu Xiaoyue felt a faint excitement in his heart, and luxurious CG close-ups of various big monsters kept popping up in his mind.

——Could it be possible...

——Could it be that her body is actually not a flat-chested and three-nothing little loli at all, but the legendary cool, domineering and powerful sister-in-law, the big demon king! ?

The drug seller quietly looked at her with great interest, his eyes were bright with anticipation, and after watching for a while, he said slowly:

"From the size point of view, there is no difference."

Seeing her face froze immediately, eyes full of accusations of "You must be kidding me!", the corners of the drug seller's lips seemed to deepen a little:

"It's just that you at that time..."

He intentionally paused here, prolonging his voice slightly, and made no effort to hide his wicked taste, but Fu Xiaoyue couldn't bear his curiosity after all, and was quickly lured closer to him.

The drug seller didn't continue talking.He used to hold his chin with his fingers, and stretched them towards her face—along the eye sockets, eyebrows, nose tip, lips corners—accompanied by the direction of his gaze, his fingertips traced them one by one until she felt awkward and blushed. With his face retracted, he continued to speak lightly:

"—Very fierce."

Fu Xiaoyue's face was itchy and hot when touched by his fingers, but when he heard his words, he couldn't care less about it, the whole monster was dumbfounded:

"……what?"

She blinked, and then blinked again, seeing that he didn't mean to be joking, she asked in full of surprise: "Does it mean... looks very fierce... or acts very fiercely...?"

Show your teeth and show your claws?Fierce?Resolute?Kill without blinking an eye?

——No matter which one, the picture feels comfortable on the head of such a small body, and the sense of disobedience is not to be missed!

The old god of the drug seller sighed on the ground, and said in a general tone of emotion: "It looks fierce, and it also behaves fiercely - Rakshasa is alive, and the evil spirits of the ten directions are nothing more than the same... It's really scary."

"..."

Fu Xiaoyue stared blankly at him with his mouth gaping, and for the nth time since this day, he began to swipe the screen in his heart——

#I never thought I was such a zashiki boy#

After finally recovering from the shock, she swallowed hard and said weakly, "If this is the case... When did you recognize me?"

"you guess."

"..."

——Don’t guess, get lost.

After receiving too many strange messages this day, Fu Xiao was so tired yesterday that he didn't even bother to roll his eyes at him.She had obviously been sitting there without moving much, but at this moment, she felt that she had experienced a lot of exhaustion and was dizzy.

The drug seller looked sideways slightly, seeing her fingers drooping to braid her hair, and asked her softly, "Are you tired?"

Fu Xiaoyao drooped his shoulders and nodded heavily, and suddenly remembered a question: "...Mr. Yaolang, since you already know who I am, why did you ask my name before?"

The pharmacist didn't answer when he heard the words, but raised his left hand that was resting on her lap slightly, with the palm facing upwards: "Write and write."

Fu Xiaoyue choked slightly, remembering the embarrassing situation in the past, immediately straightened his expression, stretched out his right index finger, and stroked his strokes on the palm of his hand.

——Zashiki!

Without any pause, she wrote extremely fluently to the end. Fu Xiaoyue also signed an exclamation point of complacency. After pressing the last bit harder, she tried hard to hold back the smug little eyes, and curled her lips happily:

"Heh... how about it, I said I remembered it?"

The drug seller hummed lightly, but he didn't seem to want to praise her for it. He just grabbed her fingers and hugged her from the branch with the other hand:

"gone back."

"Oh... Hey... Hey! You want to mess around again!"

Seeing that he was about to go back yesterday, Fu Xiao immediately took the held finger and scratched it in the palm of his hand unwillingly, and urged him: "You answer, why? Say it first, no Let me guess!"

This question really made her curious: I already knew that she was a Zashiki Warji—although I didn’t know when and how he knew—why would I ask her?

Emmmm......

——Could it be to play her again?

——Did he guess that she couldn't write the word "apply" at that time? !

—Damn it!

When the medicine seller looked sideways at her, he saw that she was baffling and angry, so he could only answer her softly and slowly:

"...I ask you because, you tell me yourself, and I know it, it's not the same."
