The sky finally turned dark, and there was no trace of light from the setting sun.

It seems that someone shook the god bell, and the loud switch was pressed, and people holding hands and talking eagerly stopped in front of the booth, or prayed under the shrine holding a thick rope with both hands, wearing clogs The girl happily ran to her friend, and the child stared at the goldfish by the pool.

"A lot of people here are wearing masks diagonally." I looked around curiously.

"It's a custom here." Qihai replied to me, "They treat the curse spirits attracted by the conjuration experts as monsters, and it is said that wearing a mask can get rid of them."

"Actually?"

Qihai pinched the bridge of her nose: "Actually, it's the same as wearing sunglasses. Not looking into the eyes of the curse spirit can reduce the possibility of being discovered. Maybe someone escaped because of this before, and left this tradition. Bar."

"Oh! That's why the eyes of the mask are sealed!" I suddenly realized and raised my head, "But Qihai hasn't worn sunglasses these two days, is it okay?"

Qihai held up her fingers and counted the reasons: "I'm not working recently,? And this place is next to the barrier, if there is a commotion, the conjurer from the high school will arrive in time, right?"

"The most important thing is," he picked up my wind-blown hair, and put it gently behind my ear, "I don't really want to look at you with that vision."

"Okay." I shyly shifted my eyes to his finger resting on my ear, "Because I may not be so cute when I turn black."

"No,? They're all cute." Nanami quickly took my words, "But if you looked at me,? You didn't realize that I was looking at you."

As he said that, he caught my escaping gaze and peeked at a panicked little black-haired girl trying to escape living in my eyes: "I will feel very sorry."

He looked at me seriously, as if he couldn't get tired of seeing me blushing from his few words.

The little girl he was looking for ran wildly: "I, let's go eat apple candy, Qihai!"

"Are you changing the subject?"

"...Go eat apple candy, Qihai!!" It was the first time that I was exposed by him face to face, and I said loudly in embarrassment.

"Ah Yue,? Raising your voice will make you feel guilty instead."

"...If Qihai doesn't go, then I will go by myself!!!"

My neck was slumped, and I turned around and walked away, but no matter how I accelerated my pace, Qihai always kept a steady pace and walked side by side with me, making me look like a child playing a racing game with an adult, only myself foolishly He thought he had won, but he was actually being hunted down to death by him, and he dragged him back to him when he wanted to run.

I had no choice but to stop in front of the rows of warm red candy apples, and said angrily, "Boss, please buy an apple candy."

The uncle had a towel wrapped around his head, and he was still chatting excitedly with the uncle at the booth next door. Hearing this, the two of them turned their heads together. Uncle Apple Candy looked at Qihai beside me: "Is one candy enough? Support Make a deal, get [-]% off two candies."

His hearty smile with white teeth made me a little embarrassed to refuse, but I didn't want to easily tell Qihai, who was smiling and waiting for my answer, that I had compromised, so I couldn't make up my mind for a long time.

The uncle at the booth next door patted the apple candy uncle on the shoulder: "Hey, my lover wants to eat one. Don't make things difficult for the little girl. Why don't you come to me and pick up a mask and get [-]% off with him."

mask.

I didn't have time to pay attention to Qihai's thoughtful gaze, and was attracted by the uncle's words. I lingered on the shelf for a long time, chose a fox mask, and pointed: "Please give me that!"

"Oh, the little girl is really discerning. This is the best-selling mask here." The uncle flicked the fox's nose with his fingertips, "The quality is great!"

"Really!" I took the bag and candy apples, and became proud, "My eyesight is really good."

"How many,"

"how much is it?"

When I reached for the wallet, Qihai, who had been silent for a long time, handed the banknotes directly to the uncle. I squinted my eyes and looked him up and down, took Tang Xuxu into my arms and took a step back, guarding the food: "Only —a candy."

Qihai didn't coax me just now, so I won't buy it for you, and I can't give it to you to eat.

Qihai nodded: "I know, don't you want to try it?"

I lowered my head suspiciously, gnawed on the candy with my teeth, tilted my head and squinted at him, and then took a bite with confidence, chewing.

"Is it delicious?" the voice above my head asked me.

My little chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, and took another bite: "The sugar coating smells so good."

"Well," Qihai's voice got closer, "Speaking of which, I bought this candy."

"Huh?" I swallowed the pulp, "I can return Qihai one."

"I've been eating sweet things recently, and if I buy another one, I won't be able to eat it."

"Has Qihai often eaten sweets recently?" I recalled doubtfully, and then remembered that I was still ignoring him, and quickly shook my head firmly.

"But Ah Yue didn't reject the shop owner's words just now, right?"

Nanami's magnetic voice lingered in my ears, he held my wrist holding the sugar, and slowly exerted force.

"May I have a taste?"

I was shaken by the mask I wore on my head at an angle.

I opened my mouth, and I couldn't utter a single word of rejection in his request but with an undeniable momentum of rejection. I could only be held by his wrist and watch Tang go away from me.

He lightly bit the other end of the candy, and shook the candy at me, like teasing a dog hook with meat.

The gaps in the apple candy almost fit together, I took the candy tremblingly, and automatically imagined myself as a round and fat rice grain under his almost pleasant eyes, which was being stewed into the pressure cooker to become cooked. Sweet and edible.

Maybe I'm just short of a delicate ceramic bowl so I can serve it up for Nanami to eat.I subconsciously took a bite of the candy in a mess of thoughts, and then the candy froze in my mouth, standing still and emitting high-temperature steam.

—In the steam, I heard his voice deliberately lowered so that it was dumb: "Thank you for the hospitality."

"What kind of hospitality are you waiting for?"

"Huh—? Nothing." Nanami replied without sincerity.

The constantly enlarged lover's hand pulls the fox mask over my face, and the last part of the field of vision is the corner of his slightly raised mouth.

The mask is really of exceptional quality as the stall owner said, almost impenetrable to light, the eyes are pitch black, but the voices in the ear are more obvious, making people feel that they are alone in the downtown area.

I called him a little uneasy: "Nanami...?"

"Don't take off the mask, just walk like this—for a while."

He replied, and took my hand.

"Don't be afraid, trust me."

I relax my shoulders.

-

We seem to be walking in the direction of fewer people.

Walking in complete darkness in front of my eyes made me feel extremely flustered. I followed him step by step, for fear that I would be left behind.

However, after passing a certain corner, Qihai suddenly let go of his hand. I focused on my feet, but I didn't hear what he said, so I stood there blankly and called out, "Qihai?"

I took two steps on the spot, reaching out to the air like playing a game for the blind: "Qihai, where are you?"

With my back facing the mountain range, it was like facing the abyss that could swallow people. I stood in the gap between the light and the dark, and inexplicably recalled the days when I was a child and squatted at the door, waiting for my monster playmate to play with me.

"If you play tricks and leave me alone here," the little girl with twin ponytails sniffed aggrievedly, "I will really be angry."

It seems that since the first monster friend disappeared because people gave up their belief in it and never came back, I always look forward to the monsters returning to me with anxiety.

"If I count for a day and you still don't come back, I can only count and wait for you tomorrow." I gradually overlapped with my past self and stood alone, with my fingers lightly buttoning the button of the messenger bag.

"If I haven't come back after counting for so long, please go back and rest at ease, and don't wait for me any longer."

"Will you not come back?" I grabbed the corner of his clothes.

The broad palm clasped the back of my head, groping for the rubber band of the mask: "No."

"With you here, I will definitely come back." Qihai said patiently, calmly like warm water flowing on a clear glass, "Just now I saw something that I think is very suitable for you, and it just happened to arrive at the destination,— I let you go if I didn't make it clear when I was in fashion—I'm here alone, sorry."

"Does it scare you?"

Qihai rubbed my head, from the top of my head to my neck, over and over again: "It's okay, I'm here."

"I'm here."

I said "hmm" with a nasal voice: "Destination?"

"Destination, I think you will like it." Nanami said with a smile, after combing my hair, she took off the mask

The stream of light from a street leaked into the cracks of the mask bit by bit, Nanami's hands completely peeled off the airtight shell on my face, allowing the light to crowd towards me.

We stood at the end of the street, before the stairs leading to the shrine. Behind us was not the darkness as imagined, but the lights of the two columns of shrines spreading upwards.

However, Nanami's golden hair is the only thing I can see that shines brightest, like flowing water rushing towards me with him.

His eyes were gentle, and he was holding a red rabbit lamp in his right hand. When the breeze came, the bell above his head rang once, and then was drowned out by louder voices.

Maybe everyone opened their mouths slightly and looked up like me, watching the first cluster of fireworks behind Nanami, blooming like sunflowers in the low-hanging sky.

With his back facing the fireworks, I didn't know whether I should pick up the rabbit lamp or let him watch the fireworks, and finally I just threw myself into his arms, and my arms wrapped around his waist very naturally when I didn't realize it .

When I looked up, Nanami happened to be looking down at me.

The second sound, the third sound, the fireworks are ringing.

I buried my face in his arms, feeling another person's body temperature along the clothes to my whole body, scorching hot, as if I could grab the girl who was close to him into his flame.

However, it seems that the owner of the flame is not only satisfied with using the weak girl as a small firewood, maybe he is a monster living on the top of the mountain, waiting for some fool who knows nothing about the world to climb up his flaming mountain, and when she sits When resting her scorched feet on the rocks, she was kidnapped to the cave, and fireworks were set in her eyes, so that she would be blown into a daze and could never go down the mountain again.

"Ah Yue."

During the interval between the first burst of fireworks, my ears were extremely sensitive in the sudden silence. Qihai’s opening made me involuntarily look up at him, at the clusters of fireworks behind him and the strange light in his eyes.

"Want to go higher up?"
