[Shaman King] He has a cat

She is used to seeing the scenery behind the door.

Every other month, she would come to the familiar door, and every time, when she put her hand on the door frame, the blood flow accelerated, her heart pounded, the silent time became extremely slow, and the world around her opened up. The momentary stillness of the door——

Each time, she saw the same room.

The accelerated blood had already cooled before it boiled. Fingers were embedded in the groove of the door frame. The thick wooden door was cold and hard, and the fingertips turned white due to ischemia.

Hope and disappointment are inseparable, like plants with different flowers entangled with the same roots in the ground, as the hope thumping in the chest gradually weakens, the moment the door is opened, the disappointment that passes through the body like a howling cold wind It also gradually lost its sharp edges and corners.

A'Du is used to being disappointed, just like she is used to waiting every month.

Most of the time, she doesn't deliberately think about the full moon. Her life as an onmyoji is busy enough, and she doesn't have much time to think about the possibility of miracles happening again.

But as long as you come to the familiar door, the thoughts accumulated unconsciously during this period will be like the rising tide of sea water, silently overwhelming all the dams.

Home is a distant word, a place she can't go back to now.

A'Du stood by the door, looking at the empty scenery in the room.

She is homesick.

Every full moon, thoughts of homesickness surged in her heart, making her chest ache and her eye sockets hot.

But this time, she opened her mouth and finally found the voice.

"...I'm having a good time here."

mom.

"Don't worry, no matter where I am, I'll be fine."

mom.

Her throat was blocked by an inexplicable emotion, and the words that had been accumulated for a long time came out of her mouth. She pressed the door frame tightly, knowing that things like sound cannot travel through time and space, but in front of Missing, she seemed to have turned back into a child. The most pure and honest emotions remain.

"I'll be back," she said to the void.

So wait for me again.

"Until then, I will live well here."

"..."

"I'll be back next month."

Twilight merged, and the afterglow of the day fell behind the mountains, leaving only a thin gleam of light in the dark blue sky, which radiated a faint light like the embers of a fire.

After sunset, the long-shadowed imperial palace appeared empty, and the late spring air was filled with a misty chill. In the distance, the changing guards lit torches, and the sudden leaping flames dispelled the growing darkness.

She walked down the corridor and down the steps alone.Outside the palace gate, the ox cart with the imperial curtain hanging quietly waited in place.

Evening is a very dangerous time, and the reason has nothing to do with the time when day and night alternate with demons. Whether it is the people in the palace or the common people on the streets outside, even the birds flying across the sky have places to return to when dusk falls. .

Wanting to go home is an instinct, it has nothing to do with where a person is this year, and this instinct will become particularly strong in the evening.

A'Du ran over.

The moment he stepped forward, the Great Onmyoji, who could hear the voices of others, showed a surprised expression for a short while.

That bit of surprise quickly melted away and became gentle.

She opened her hands and threw herself into the arms of the great Onmyoji.

"King Ye."

She originally thought that he would be knocked back a step, but he stood extremely steady, and the figure in hunting clothes raised his hand to wrap her in his arms the moment she rushed over, as if the two had agreed a long time ago.

Every month, he would wait outside the palace gate.

Although there was no verbal agreement, no matter the weather, rain or shine, when she returned home disappointed every month, there would always be someone waiting outside to pick her up.

The moment I was hugged by this person, the place in my heart that was aching because of loneliness was suddenly healed.

It seems that the leaky gap is suddenly blocked, and it turns out that only one person is needed to fill up the boundless loneliness.

"King Ye." A'Du grabbed his sleeve and buried his face in his arms.

The Great Onmyoji heard her heart clearly, but still responded gently: "What's wrong?"

"..."

She is homesick.

It must be because the emotion of missing is contagious. After hearing King Ma Cangye mention her mother, she also suddenly became sad.This month's feeling of loss was particularly profound. She thought it was still bearable, but now she found that her eye sockets were faintly wet.

"I didn't mean to make you sad too."

Ma Cang Ye Wang slowly stroked her hair, as if she was a bird that suddenly fell into his arms, and caressed her hair gently with his fingers.

"Are you crying, A'Du?"

This sentence is very useful, she grabbed his sleeve tightly, raised her head: "...No."

"It's okay to cry."

"Would you say that to yourself?"

"..."

"Look." A'Du said, "It's a lie."

Ma Cang Ye Wang raised his fingers to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

She squinted her eyes subconsciously, and the soft touch brushed the end of her eyes, leaving the remaining warmth from the fingertips of the other party.

"Do you want to go back now?" he asked her, "or do you want to stay a little longer?"

The attendant with the torch deftly looked away, the surrounding sky had completely darkened, the doors on the street were closed, and only a moon hung high in the sky.

In the era of night walks of ghosts, the huge Heian capital seemed like an empty city after nightfall.

The large hunting clothes were soft and warm, and A'Du responded in a low voice.

"...for a while."

She leaned on the shoulder of the great onmyoji, the cold and loneliness were isolated by a simple embrace, she missed the warmth for a while, and was reluctant to get up and leave.

Ma Cang Yewang turned his head slightly.

The fire light gradually went away with the sound of footsteps, and the two attendants retreated silently, disappearing into the night of Heianjing.

"...What if there is no one driving the car?"

King Ma Cang Ye smiled and said: "Don't worry, this matter doesn't need human beings."

A'Du raised his head from his embrace, looked over his shoulder to the side.

With a pop, the torch was lit again, illuminating the gravel ground near the bullock cart.The burning flames floated in the air, and the gorgeous imperial curtain was lifted by Shikigami, noticing her sight, the paper-like figure silently bowed her head and saluted.

"..." She looked back.

A'Du held back, but still couldn't hold back: "Is it because I don't use shikigami to scare ordinary people?"

Ma Cang Ye Wang: "There are enough strange stories about Ping'an Jing."

Think about it, there is an unmanned bullock cart on a quiet street in the dead of night, and there are still lights floating beside the bullock cart.How embarrassing it would be if the people reported to the officials the next day that it would be bad if the flood flooded the Dragon King Temple.

A'Du: "It's not easy to integrate into the society of ordinary people."

King Ma Cang Ye: "Who isn't?"

Even ordinary people are trying to integrate into the so-called society.

After all, the concept of ordinary is relative.

In a world where ordinary people occupy an overwhelming majority, there are only a small number of people who can see ghosts.

If the world is full of psychics, then ordinary people today will become abnormal.

Because of the so-called ordinary, it is possible to define unconventional things.If we want to define what is normal, we must first distinguish what is abnormal.

"If you use shikigami, the voices around you will become very noisy." Ma Cangye Wang said softly, "Human beings are not good at accepting things beyond their cognition."

The more capable people are, the harder they are.

What is this called?

Ah yes.

"Backward compatibility."

King Ma Cang Ye looked at her.

"It means that capable people are considerate of less capable people."

A'Du's thoughts diverged, and even a famous line from the "Spider-Man" movie appeared: with great power comes great responsibility—the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

And then there's a flash of gibberish cinematic footage of superheroes in red and blue suits swinging through the skyscrapers of New York... cut it.

"Who is that?"

A'Du covered her ears, although she didn't know why her first reaction was to cover her ears: "Don't look, please."

The little theater in her head had to stop.

There was a chuckle, Ma Cang Yewang lowered his head: "Do you feel better?"

"……much better."

The sad emotions and the feeling of loneliness disappeared in no time.

When the twilight is sinking, seeing the guard maids in the palace, seeing pedestrians hurrying on the street, no matter how many people you see, even if you are in the crowd, the hollow loneliness in your heart will not be relieved at all.

But really just one person — just one right person is enough.

Human loneliness and loneliness are such complicated and simple things.

"Then let's go back."

He said go back.

There really isn't a better word for this.

The imperial curtain was drawn down, and the current season was not too cold, and the interior of the carriage was much warmer than the outside. She later realized that changing the temperature of the air was both difficult and quite exhausting.

As a great onmyoji, Ma Cang Ye Wang set up gods of imperial spirits in important corners of Heian capital, 360 days a year, regardless of day and night, and all he consumed was his own spiritual power.If it was an ordinary onmyoji, it would have been hollowed out... no, it was drained.

"I'm not cold."

She can survive the cold winter in the south without heating. She has practiced it for so many years.

Except for the first day in Heian-kyo, when she was shivering because she was wearing clothes that didn't match the season.

A'Du wasn't sure if this incident left a wrong impression on King Ma Cang Ye, after all, the first impression is always deeper.

The wheels ran over the gravel on the ground, and the moment the carriage was bumped, she supported the wall very skillfully.

Although it can't be compared with Ma Cang Ye Wang who is sitting peacefully, but personally speaking, this progress has been great.

"……Do not laugh."

"Feel sorry."

"When you apologize, at least put the smile on your face away."

"..."

"Isn't this still there!"

With a creak, the bullock cart stopped outside the gate of the mansion.

A'Du jumped out of the car, Ma Cang Ye Wang raised the imperial curtain, and followed behind her unhurriedly.

The porch was lit, the door opened automatically, Ma Nu's figure appeared beside the door, Gu Zong squeezed open the door, ran over with his tail raised high, circled around her feet a few times, and then ran to Ma Cang Ye Wang went back and forth over and over again.

Ma Nu smiled and asked her: "Do you need me to move things?"

She repeats this sentence every day.

A'Du: "No, I think my current room is pretty good."

Ma Nu glanced at King Ma Cang Ye.

"Did Lord Ye make fun of Miss A'Du again?" Ma Nu looked serious, "If this continues, Lord Ye will never get what he wants."

She slipped and supported the door frame next to her.

"... Ma Nu?"

"Ma Nu." Ma Cang Yewang said calmly, "The word forever is too serious."

A'Du looked at him in a swish, with a bright expression on his face: This is the point? ?

Both Ren and Shikigami stopped in their tracks, and the stock sect also stopped.

A'Du glanced at the stock sect, and felt that the kitty could not listen to such topics. She was about to take the stock sect into her arms and leave the scene with the kitten when there was a knock on the door.

The hasty knock on the door was very abrupt, Ma Cang Ye Wang suppressed his smile.

"……who is it?"

It's all this time.

"Let's count as people in the palace." He said to her, "You just stay here."
