[Shaman King] He has a cat

The sun sank into the sea, and the remaining light, like burning embers, scattered far away where the sea and the sky met.

In the sky far away from the ground, the afterglow of the setting sun seemed to be falling towards the sea. Shen Du was stunned for a long time, his mind was blank, leaving only a certain vacuum-like silence.

The subdued sea water slowly surged up to the shore again. As the sea tide rose, the frozen consciousness began to flow again. There were so many questions accumulated in her mind that she didn't know where to start. She subconsciously glanced at the shore direction.

"I'm showing mercy." The person who saw through what she was thinking said with a smile, "Although I didn't want to do this at first."

"..."

Shen Du: "What is this?"

"Did you say this?" The super spirit body surrounding Ma Canghao's side moved at will, unfolding the part of the end of the mecha that looks like wings and claws, "This is my armor-bound super spirit body, Hei Hina. "

The sea water breaks into white foam on the reef, the embers of the setting sun gradually dim, and the sunset glow rushes to the end of the sky, chasing the direction where the sun disappears, and casts soft shadows in the twilight world.

The evening wind rose, and the light-colored cloak fluttered in the wind. It was not until Ma Canghao put away the unfolded super spirit body that Shen Du belatedly realized that she was still in his arms, wrapping her arms around his. The nape of his neck rests on his shoulders.

The shoulders of young people are different from those of adults, and they are much thinner than she remembered, but she hadn't noticed the difference before.

"..." Shen Du withdrew his hand, "You can put me down now."

There was a slight pause in the movement, and Ma Canghao bent slightly.

The moment she stepped on the ground again, something fell out of her pocket.

With a soft sound, the dim light rolled into the cooling sand, and she was about to reach out her hand after seeing what the falling thing was.

"It seems that you have met the Ma Cang family."

Ma Canghao picked up the bell with a broken red string and put it in her palm.

The metal bell is a bit cool, and it feels soft to the palm, the sea breeze is still blowing, the last twilight of the sunset is embedded in the sky, and the shadows of the night cover the coast like a tulle.

"...this bell," she heard herself say, "I've been looking for it for a long time."

After returning to modern times, everything in the backpack is still there, except for the bell pendant of Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto.

Ma Canghao bent his eyes: "I took it back then."

"To be more precise, I stayed."

The wide kimono fluttered like a white bird in the sea breeze. In the past, no matter how far she walked on the coast, she could bridge the distance between the two just by turning around.

"After you left, should it be said that it was the self-correction of the world, and things that did not belong to that era also quickly disappeared."

He looked at the distant sea horizon, the sunset glow dimmed, and the twilight light was hazy.

"I thought I had to leave something behind, so I made a move."

Shen Du looked at the bell in his hand.

The evening wind gradually calmed down, and the whistling sound of the wind went away to the end of the world, and the world became quiet and empty, so quiet that people could clearly hear their inner voice.

"...When this came back to me, I realized that I was only thinking about one thing."

"The me from 1000 years ago is dead."

She raised her head and looked at the person who had been reincarnated for a thousand years.

"……You too."

So did you 1000 years ago.

"You don't have to hide the fact that you hold the spirit original." She said, "I don't care anymore."

Asakura hid his smile.

After a brief pause, the darkness was dispelled by the flames without warning, and then the billowing flames exploded, and a huge fire demon appeared from the air, with long arms hanging down to the ground, which seemed to be almost as high as several floors.

Bright flames burn in the body, gradually changing from crimson to golden, and the lines covering the body glow slightly with the flowing flames. The fire elf standing on the shore looks like a colossus made of lava, extremely beautiful and at the same time It is extremely dangerous.

Shen Du raised her head, if she didn't raise her head, she couldn't see the whole picture of Huo Ling clearly.

"...It feels a bit like a combination of Digimon and Gundam."

The fire spirit, which looks like a combination of Digimon and Gundam, raised a bonfire by the seaside when night fell.

After skillfully doing this, the fire elf retreated behind Ma Canghao, his huge body formed a rock wall to block the sea wind, and his long arms came in handy at this time, becoming the best windshield.

The sound of the wind died down, and the bright campfire crackled and burned, casting flickering lights on the surrounding ground.

"It was Otopo Chiyo who first taught me how to make a fire." Asakura's voice sounded from beside him without warning.

Shen Du remembered the name Otopo Chiyo. Asakura Ye Wang mentioned before that Otopo Chiyo was a ghost who lived for a hundred years in the Heian era, and he was also his only friend in childhood.

She wasn't quite sure why he brought it up all of a sudden.

"I didn't have the ability of spiritual vision from the beginning."

Shen Du paused, then suddenly turned his head.

"This ability was passed on to me by Yipo Chiyo. At that time, I was thinking of avenging my mother, but I failed to control my own power."

Asakura laughed amusedly: "After that, Otopo Chiyo disappeared."

King Ma Cangye never told her how his mother died, and her previous understanding of Otopo Chiyo was limited to the fact that he disappeared suddenly after being with Maya Doji for a while.

"...What is revenge?"

Thousands of years ago, in the Heian era, the mother of Asahiba was regarded as a monster by the villagers because of her ability to see spirits. They found the method of exorcising demons from a mage, and set fire to Asahiba who was trapped in the house at that time. .

After that, the young Asaba Doji wandered the streets, and met a ghost named Otopo Chiyo in Heiankyo. Otopo Chiyo was born in the era 200 years ago, and lived in a low status by watching people's faces. Can hear what other people are thinking, and become a ghost after death also inherits this ability.

Asanoba Doji and Otopo Chiyo became friends, but the good times didn't last long. The mage who killed Asanoha heard the strange talk about the child who could talk to the air alone, and came to him again.

"That was my first time killing people." Ma Canghao's voice was very calm.

Ma Yedouzi killed his enemy and lost his only friend in the same day.

Otopo Chiyo disappeared, but it retained the ability of spiritual vision and became a part of Maya Doji.

"..."

"Are you wondering what the hell is the ability of spiritual vision?"

Ma Canghao raised his head: "It's actually very simple. The biggest reason for the ability to read minds is loneliness."

Because I'm lonely, I wonder what other people are thinking.

Because of loneliness, it is necessary to understand the inner being of others on a deeper level.

The stronger the desire to know what the other person is thinking, the stronger the ability to read minds.

"In fact, everyone has this ability more or less, because people are creatures that constantly speculate on each other's thoughts, but people with too strong thoughts will have a stronger ability to see through others, and eventually form the so-called spiritual vision."

The flames flickered on the ground, and she hadn't heard the sound of the sea breeze blowing for a long time.

Shen Du looked away.

The Milky Way passes through the night sky on the calm sea, the darkness sets off the distant starlight, shimmering like the white sand of the coast.

She said, "You have always had vision."

During those ten years, Ma Cang Ye Wang's spiritual vision did not disappear, but instead increased year by year, and its scope became wider and wider.

Asakura did not answer directly.

"I put coordinates on you." He seemed to change the subject, "Now, when time and space overlap, I can cross the barrier between the two worlds."

Ma Cang paused, then added with a smile: "Although the consumption of witch power is very huge."

She didn't speak, and sad emotions welled up in her heart, almost making her fingertips numb.

"After becoming the Shaman King, I will be able to solve these two prerequisites."

Asakura: "That's something I couldn't do 1000 years ago."

In the blank silence, the heartbeat stopped abruptly, and Shen Du looked at him.

The moon is invisible in the night sky tonight, the night sky is filled with brilliant stars, and the dark sea stretches as far as the eye can see, like a mirror polished by starlight.

"At that time, the longer we were together, the stronger the idea of ​​not wanting to separate."

During those ten years, the time on her body has not changed.

But maybe one day the frozen time will flow again, and the misplaced world will return to its original track.

……

"What if one day I have to make a choice?"

Choose between the modern era and the Heian era.

It seemed to be a conversation they had before leaving Heiankyo for Izumo many years ago.

With light snow falling outside the eaves and warm charcoal burning in the mansion, he said at the time: "Then don't make a choice."

"..."

"Why can I only choose one side?"

"...Is it possible to do something like that?"

……

She had forgotten that she thought it was just his words to comfort her.

"I can fulfill the agreement now." Asakura said with a smile, "I am no longer the same as I was at that time."

"..."

"—But even if you say that, you won't be happy now."

Ma Canghao looked at the night sky: "What you like has always been the gentle Ma Cang Yewang thousands of years ago."

"..."

"So I tried," he said, "after the quarrel, trying to save the insensitive people and the greedy and pedantic aristocrats as my gentle me would have done before."

Is that an apology?

Not sure.

But at least, after that they'll make up, the rift won't have a chance to widen, and they'll still be together.

None of these things happened.

The blazing fire, no, it was humans who ruined it all.

"Your heart is too soft." Ma Cang said with a smile, "You may not hate people back then, but I am different."

He said, I am different.

"Your thinking is too naive."

The stars came out, and the soft starlight illuminated the deep night.

Ma Canghao: "So I will prove to you that the human species is hopelessly inferior."

"..."

"After becoming the Shaman King, I will let you understand that human beings are not worth saving and cannot be saved."

He seemed to say something else afterward.

The wind was silent, and the burning bonfire seemed to be getting smaller.In a distant place, the sea water slowly rises, overflowing to the shore with the starlight.

Ma Canghao's voice suddenly stagnated.

When I came back to my senses, tears had already welled up in my eyes.

Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and the thing that blocked her was painful and hot, so hot that her vision was blurred.

"...at that time," she tried, "at that time..."

1000 years ago, the Great Onmyoji who said that he wanted to destroy human beings seemed to be going to a far away place, but she couldn't go there.

She can't go.

After enduring it for a long time, the tears that should have flowed a thousand years ago finally burst out uncontrollably.

I couldn't tell whether it was great sadness or joy, the hole in my heart was finally broken, and everything flowed out with tears, so the tears wiped more and more, and kept rolling down my cheeks.

"You said I was always keeping a distance, but you weren't the one who kept the distance first."

She didn't cry at that time, but now she suddenly couldn't stop crying like a child.

"How did you die later?"

How come he only lived a few years after her and died 1000 years ago.

He stayed in hell for 900 years, reincarnated three times in the world, how could he live for 100 years in total.

She didn't like to cry in front of others, and she didn't like to show her weak side, she tried to cover her face, but Asakura stretched out her hand and wiped away the teardrops from the end of her eyes with her fingertips.

"……It's ok."

His eyes are a light brown, like amber that has been formed after the curing of resin for thousands of years, exactly as it was a thousand years ago.

She couldn't stop crying.

"It's okay," Asakura said with a gentle look in his eyes, smiling, "Because she's cute even when she's crying."
