Big Sky in Yokohama

Not long after Christmas is the New Year. Even a chaotic city like Yokohama will have a moment of peace during this time. During the period when the port mafia is on duty, Lan Tang, who is rich and powerful, directly pays someone to help him take over the shift, while he himself is comfortable. Clothes nest at home cat winter.

"Mr. Lantang, do you really want to go out with me?" Youni looked at Lantang in surprise.

The thickly dressed young man put a scarf around his neck, carefully arranged the clothes on his body, showed a light smile, and said slowly: "It is also the first time for me to visit the shrine in the first month. I never thought about going out at this time."

For the previous five years, he had lived in a muddle. He was immersed in the road of searching for memories every day, and he didn't care much about many things. Even the New Year in Yokohama never cared, he just went out numbly to find sporadic and incomplete information.

Even though the cold wind froze his body, and the unstoppable chill surged up, Lan Tang would always search numbly because of the feeling of emptiness and loneliness in his heart all the time.

This winter when Youni came, except for necessary work, Lan Tang would choose to stay at home Mao Dong, obviously he was also afraid of the cold before, but he never stayed at home as if to escape.

Perhaps home is really a term that can make people relax and lazy. Lan Tang has not given up on searching for memories, but he has not forgotten to search for them. Even if he does not go home every night, he will tell Youni.

The slightly cold golden-green pupils fell on Youni's body with a little warmth, "Go and ask for a healthy guardian."

Zhongyuan Zhongya had already told him the results of Uni's examination last time, and even Lan Tang paid great attention to Uni's living habits during this time. Malnutrition needs to be recuperated slowly, but fatigue can be recuperated through rest.

By the time of the second checkup, Yoni had only a diagnosis of malnutrition left.

"..." This made Lan Tang very surprised. This child, Youni, is not picky eaters, doesn't like to make troubles, goes to bed early and gets up early, and his living habits are not bad. Why the malnutrition has not improved in the slightest compared to the last inspection.

Faced with Youni's cute smile, Lan Tang could only attribute it to her inherently weak constitution.

"Mr. Lantang, do you want to wear a hat?" Youni saw Lantang take out the thick woolen hat she gave her for Christmas.

Lan Tang nodded, put on a hat to cover his ears carefully, and exhaled lightly, "It looks so cold outside, it would be better to wear this."

For Lan Tang, autumn is already the time to wear plush earmuffs. In the colder winter, the equipment for protecting sensitive ears should be upgraded. The thick woolen hat that Uni gave is just right.

……

It wasn't too early for Lantang and Yuni to arrive at the shrine. The shrine was crowded with worshipers. Lantang looked at it and suddenly said, "I forgot to prepare a kimono for you."

His blue eyes swept across the girls in beautiful kimonos in the shrine, Yoni raised his eyebrows, it turned out that Mr. Rantang was concerned about this, "For me, Mr. Rantang is willing to come out to worship with me, I am very happy. "

Mr. Lantang, who is so afraid of the cold, afraid that the food at home will almost run out, and insists that he will go out after the winter is over, is willing to go out with her on the first day of the first lunar month, isn't that enough to show his care and concern?

After passing through the tall torii gates, after cleaning their hands at Temizuya, they lined up in front of the altar. Two people who had never visited before imitated the previous ones and invested five yen to ring the divine bell.

"Papa—" Pingping clapped his hands together, and Youni bowed his head and prayed silently.

I hope everyone will be safe and sound in the new year, with good health and no disease or disaster.

"Did Mr. Lantang make a wish?" Youni raised his head and asked Lantang with a smile.

After visiting the shrine, you can go to the temple in the shrine to draw lots and go through a whole set of procedures. This first attainment is the end for two non-Japanese people.

Lan Tang nodded thoughtfully, looking down at Youni, "Does Youni believe that there are gods in the world?"

Youni froze for a moment, showing a bright smile, "... yes, God."

"But it's probably not the same as what Mr. Lantang thinks." She tilted her head after thinking about it for a while and said, "A person with a powerful and benevolent heart of a god was called a god in the past."

She had seen that god in another time and space, ordinary yet extraordinary, possessing special and powerful abilities compared to those selected by the third power of seven, but she would not abuse them recklessly, she just wanted to be an ordinary god.

"This point is probably the same now." Youni frowned, flipped his hand and showed the Daji he had just drawn, "The new year will probably go well."

Lan Tang looked down at Sueji in his hand, and then at the people who tied the lottery to the wooden frame inside the temple because they got lucky, in order to sweep away bad luck.

He sighed softly, "Better than the top, more than the bottom."

Blinking his blue eyes, Youni smiled and put the Daji in Lantang's palm: "Lend my good luck to Mr. Lantang."

Lan Tang smiled helplessly, rubbed the top of Youni's hair, his eyebrows softened, "Thank you, Youni."

……

Perhaps it was the fate of Daikichi and Suekichi who couldn't hold back their work together. Lan Tang was about to go to the stall near the shrine with Yuni when he was summoned back to the port mafia.

Hanging up the phone with a sleepy look, Lan Tang turned his head and told Youni: "Go back early, don't go shopping too late."

Yoni nodded obediently.

"Put the omamori you asked for next to you, and don't throw it away casually." Like an old woman, Lan Tang couldn't help worrying, always hearing from people in the office that the children at home didn't value the omamori begged for by the shrine, Even if Youni has always been well-behaved, he couldn't help asking again and again.

Youni couldn't help laughing, "I'll put the guard away, don't worry, Mr. Lan Tang."

Lan Tang's pale face was full of boredom, but he still had to go back to the port office.

After Lantang left, only Youni was left alone in the crowd. Seeing that most of the people coming and going were walking together, she raised her hand and rubbed her face, trying to pull herself together.

"Let's see if there is anything nearby that is suitable to buy back as a Christmas gift." Youni muttered softly, and soon a bright smile appeared on his face.

"...Is it Yoni?"

Youni followed the sound and looked back. A black-haired boy in plain white short-sleeves was standing in the crowd with a dazed expression. His low voice should not have been noticed by Youni, but she just heard it.

"Mr. Xia You?" As soon as Youni saw him, he wanted to push against the crowd to find him, but he didn't want to be crushed by the crowd and almost fell.

The slippery and slightly cool touch supported her behind her, and Yoni shouted out the name of the dog she had touched in surprise, "Pi Zai, Lu Zai!"

After the dog named Pilu became a curse spirit, the names were separated, one was Pizai and the other was Luzai.

Xia Youjie came along with the flow of people, supported her through Youni's thick coat, and looked down at her with a somewhat unpredictable expression, "It really is Youni, I thought I was wrong."

After standing still, Youni carefully looked at Xia Youjie's tired expression, and reached out to touch the temperature of his exposed skin, but the boy avoided him sensitively like an electric shock.

Facing Youni's worried expression, the boy with loose black hair hooked his mouth reluctantly, "What's wrong?"

Ordinary people, this world is full of ordinary people, but they don't produce magic spirits, and they don't have magic power.

Youni pursed his lips and shook his head, and for the first time pulled Xia Youjie's hand a bit forcefully. The boy frowned and tried to avoid Youni's hand again, but she stopped him.

"Please don't be willful. Today's temperature is below freezing. If you wear short sleeves outside, you will get frostbite."

Xia Youjie froze, and was dragged to the shrine by Youni in a daze. He asked the witch to borrow a thick blanket to cover his body. When he was pushed to the fire, he still hadn't recovered.

Her semi-wet hair was frozen to the point of icy scum in the cold outdoor weather. When she was pressed to sit by the fire, the ice on her hair gradually melted and dripped down.

"...Yuni, aren't you scared?"

Youni, who was taking off his scarf, blinked in confusion. For Xia Youjie, the temperature was warm enough, but for Youni who was wearing warm clothes, it was a bit hot.She shook her head and folded the scarf neatly, "Don't be afraid."

Although Xia Youjie asked endless questions, Youni understood what he wanted to say.

"Mr. Xia You has been protecting us, hasn't he?" The girl frowned and showed a bright smile.

Xia Youjie was wearing a heavy blanket, holding hot tea in his hands, staring blankly at the tea soup in the cup with his purple eyes, "But most people don't think so."

The curse is caused by the negative emotions of ordinary people. The conjurer is responsible for expelling the curse spirit and protecting ordinary people. Before that incident, he had never questioned the correctness that the conjurer should protect ordinary people.

The long and narrow phoenix eyes whispered out of focus, "... ugly, stupid monkey."

The young man raised his handsome face, and the exhausted color weighed heavily on him, "Yuni also possesses a power different from ordinary people, just like sending us back last time."

I don't know if he is looking for a sense of approval or an answer, he asked Yoni.

There are special powers in both worlds, but compared to his magic spell, Yoni's ability should be more special.

Youni rolled up her skirt and sat down next to Xia Youjie with her knees hugged, "Yes, but this probably belongs to my family's inherited ability."

"Family? It's the same as Wu." Talking about his close friends, Xia Youjie's expression was a little relaxed, and his tone was not so sharp.

Dakong’s pacifier was inherited from his mother, Alia, and the curse of the pacifier on Alcbareno was also inherited. The flame exists in everyone’s body in their world, except that most people need a medium to use it, and very few bodies Or human beings whose abilities have been developed to the extreme do not need it.

And those people are the top players who are most likely to be selected to become Alcobaleno.

"Should people with special powers protect ordinary people?"

"Wu always says he hates my theories. Whenever I say that magicians should protect ordinary people and protect the weak, he will refute me." Xia Youjie couldn't help laughing at himself as he spoke. .

"In the end we would always fight over this issue, and after being punished by Teacher Ye Moth, we would reconcile naturally." Speaking of the time in the first and second grades, the boy's brows were slightly relaxed and softened.

Youni quietly hugged his knees and listened to Xia Youjie's ramblings, and tilted his head on his knees to look at him.

"Sorry, you can't understand what I'm saying now." Xia Youjie shook his head, and unconsciously confided in the little girl, people who pour out negative energy on children are really bad.
