Revive it!Wenhao Press

Kyoto, the head of the Buddhist monastery.

As soon as Zenyuan Naoya walked into the Japanese room, he saw a news program on TV.And his father, the current head of the Chanyuan family, Zenyuan Zhipiren, sat quietly in front of the TV with his back to the door of the Japanese room.

Zenyuan Naoya frowned and glanced at the TV.

The reporter on the TV was describing the current situation of Hoshinosha. Cooperating with the reporter's commentary, the TV began to show the scene of Hualijun standing at the door of Hoshinosha in the morning.

Seeing Hualichun's face clearly on TV, Zenyuan Naoya's pupils suddenly constricted.

——Why is this guy on TV?And the old man was actually watching her show!

His mind went blank, Zenyuan Naoya couldn't help but subconsciously took a few steps towards the TV, walked around in front of Zenyuan Zhibiren, and said bluntly: "That..."

Chanyuan Naoya's words stopped in his throat before he finished speaking.

After walking around in front of Zenyuan Zhipiren, he finally saw his father's expression - Zenyuan Zhipiren was staring blankly at Hualichun's face on the TV, and even opened his mouth.It is rare for the usually majestic Patriarch to have such a gaffe.

Hearing Zenyuan Naozai's words, the Zenyuan Zhibi came back to his senses.He subconsciously looked at Zenyuan Naoya, and the shocked eyes of the father and son met in the air.

But soon, the person directly next to the Zenyuan laughed suddenly.

"So that's how it is, that's how it is..."

The healthy old man in a kimono propped his palms on the floor, stood up, and walked towards the outside.Seeing this, Chanyuan Naozai's bewildered heart tightened again.

Could it be that what happened back then has been exposed...?

"What are you going to do?" He didn't care to hide it, and turned to the back of the person directly next to the Buddhist monastery and asked, "Do you know this person on TV?"

The pace of people directly next to the Zen courtyard stopped.

"Know him?" He turned around and smiled at his son, with the two white beards on his lips pointing up, "This kid looks very similar to Misaki."

"Misaki?" Zenyuan Naoya repeated the name, and suddenly found something from his memory, "You mean that..."

"That's right. It's the Zenyuan Misaki who eloped with outside men more than ten years ago, escaped from the Zenyuan family, and founded Hoshinosha."

Under the astonished eyes of Zenyuan Naoya, the Zenyuan Zhibi raised his hand and stroked his beard, and said to himself: "I really didn't expect that she had a daughter... I don't know how many things she has hidden."

"There are still Misaki's things in the warehouse. Anyway, let's use the spirit seance to bring down the memory information first. Misaki's daughter seems to be useful, so I'll bring her back later."

Zenyuan Zhipiren turned and left, leaving only Zenyuan Zhiya standing in the Japanese room in a daze.

The reporter's commentary still came from the TV behind it that was not turned off.Zenyuan Naoya raised his hand subconsciously and put it on his hair.

After a while, he put down his hand and looked down at his palm blankly.

In his palm lay a few strands of black hair.

Staring down at his hair, Zenin Naoya's dull expression gradually disappeared.His eyes were gradually stained with rage, the whites of his eyes were streaked with red blood, and veins of blood vessels bulged on his forehead.

"It turned out to be the daughter of a traitor..." Chanyuan Naoya's originally handsome face twisted into a devil-like complexion, and he let out a deep growl from between his teeth, "You have been lying to me..."

Looking back, Zenyuan Naoya stared at the address of Hoshinosha displayed on the TV for a long time.Finally, he looked away and walked out.

***

"This is the location of the publishing house Hoshinosha. Famous writers Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya... as well as the writer Oda Sakunosuke, who won the highest award at the New Arts and Culture Awards not long ago, are all signed writers of this publishing house... ..."

"We are standing at the gate of Hoshinosha. According to reports, the president of Hoshinosha is actually an active female high school student who is studying at the private Wisteria High School in Tokyo..."

"Ever since appearing on the third TV station's New Year's program live broadcast at [-] o'clock in the morning, until now, the president of Hoshino Club Huali Jun has not appeared again..."

The entrance of Hoshinosha, which is usually quiet, was surrounded by reporters from various media until nightfall.Many TV stations have already started the 24-hour webcast of Hoshinosha.

The photography vehicles were parked at the intersection, cameras and microphones were set up one after another, and the reporters were explaining to their own cameras.As long as you watch the live broadcast of one of the TV stations, you can often hear the commentary of another media reporter not far away.

But even so, Hoshinosha's doors were still closed, and the curtains were pulled up, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

"Until now, there is still a faint glimmer of light in the Hoshino Club." A reporter explained to the camera, "The president of Hoshino Club is probably considering a plan to deal with the media, and you can feel the tension inside the club from the outside..."

At this moment, inside the Hoshino Club.

A crisp dog barking sounded: "Wow, woof, woof, woof, woof!"

"Does this feel better?" Hui asked.

Sitting on the sofa, Hualichun had glasses on the bridge of her nose from her generous uncle, and was walking on her lap with two little puppies wagging their tails, one black and one white. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at him blankly: " ..."

"This is my technique." Hui explained, "My technique is to manipulate shadow shikigami. The two of them are jade dogs. Although they haven't grown up yet, they are the only shikigami I can mobilize now. Lend it to you to play."

Following Hui's explanation, the two jade dogs raised their paws to climb up Hualichun's clothes, and licked her face affectionately.Seeing this scene, Kei rubbed her hands a little uncomfortably.

Under Yugou's kiss, Hualichun's glasses were constantly tilted, and his expression gradually became dull: "...ah, um."

After staying for a while, Hualichun suddenly remembered something, raised her hand and pulled the two Shikigami puppies off her shoulders.She adjusted her glasses, hugged the jade dog in her arms, and asked a little worriedly: "But I heard Gojo Satoru said that using spells will consume mana power. Are you really okay?"

"Yeah." Wheaton paused, and looked away, "Because you haven't spoken or eaten, just sitting here, staring at the report on the Hoshino Club on TV without moving, so I borrowed Jade Dog For you."

He already understood what happened in Hoshino Club.

After hesitating for a moment, Hui turned his head again, looked at Hua Lichun and asked, "What will happen next?"

"no problem."

Hualichun opened his mouth, not knowing whether he was answering Hui, or saying to himself: "The facilities built by the handheld are still there. Although any operation will prompt the system to be upgraded, the list of Hoshinosha writers has not changed. , the names of the teachers are still on it. So although the teachers are no longer here, there should be no danger."

"Teachers... They must have no problem. Because they have become writers who can go on and reach no matter where they are, even if they are alone, even if they are not in Hoshinosha."

"For this reason, I must stay here and wait for them to come back."

"but……"

Silence lasted for a while.Sensing the strange atmosphere, the two jade dogs raised their heads to see Hualichun's face, but were suddenly hugged by her forcefully.

"But, I..." She lowered her head, buried her face in the soft fur of the jade dog, and said with a sob, "I miss them so much... I don't understand why they suddenly disappeared, and I don't know where to go if I want to find them Where can I find..."

"Where are they now? Have they had enough to eat? Is it cold? Is there a place to sleep?"

"What should I do if I never see them again..."

The jade dog couldn't move, and could only wag its tail in Hualichun's arms in vain.Hui froze for a moment, and just about to say something, a low voice suddenly came from behind: "Are you crying?"

Hui's body froze, and subconsciously took the jade dog back, feeling a bit bad in his heart.And Hualichun, who had her head down, was also taken aback, and straightened up abruptly, with tears still in the corners of her eyes.

Zenyuan Shier leaned against the wall, raised his hand and greeted casually: "Yo."

"Why are you here?" Hualichun asked in astonishment, "The media is still outside..."

"Didn't you say that if I want to read a book, I can read any book in the Hoshinosha library?" Zenyuan Shier looked around, "So I came to borrow books."

"Don't worry, your courtyard here is so big, I found a blind corner of the media and sneaked in." He laughed again, "But you also know that there are media reporters around outside. Staying here and holding my son's dog in a daze, it's not like Your style."

"However, if I hadn't heard what you said just now, I would have never thought that those murderous beasts would be the writers who wrote those masterpieces... What is this, supernatural? Even in the magic world, there is no such thing..."

Hearing Zenyuan Shier's self-conscious sigh, Hualichun was stunned, opened his mouth, and couldn't say anything for a while.

After a while, she finally asked: "Shi Er, you never really asked me for books. You didn't come here today to borrow books, did you?"

The smile on Zenyuan Shier's face faded a little.He glanced at Hualichun's glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "Your news is such a big deal, it's been reported all over the country, and the Buddhist monastery in Kyoto must also know about it."

Hualichun's eyes froze.

Her mind was always full of things about Mr. Dog and the publishing house, and she completely forgot about the Chanyuan family.

"Although I once fooled that brat Naozai of Zenyuan, the old man Zhipiren of Zenyuan must recognize your face." Zenyuan Shier explained, "There is a magic world that can obtain the body of the dead, Personality or memory information is called spiritualism. Your parents should be worried that your memory will be squeezed out, so they sent you to a place they don't know."

"The old man must have started to act now, maybe he has already sent down Misaki's memory. What's more, that kid Naoya Zenyuan still has a grudge against you, and he will definitely do it after discovering your true identity. Even if the media is watching, it may not be blocked. Hold the conjurer."

"There are a few little ghosts on the street corner who have been hiding there. It seems that they have been guarding for a long time. They should be your friends, right? If that's the case, you and Hui will go to your friend's house today." He turned towards Huali without any explanation. Chun came, "I can take you out without disturbing the media."

The amount of information spit out by Zenyuan Shier was too much, Hualichun was stunned, and then subconsciously said: "But Hoshinosha..."

"In an extraordinary time, I will take care of this place for the time being. It just so happens that you still have a lot of books in your library that I haven't read, which can be used to pass the time."

The man said with a smile, but his movements were not as gentle as the usual misleading smile on his face. One by one, he roughly picked up his son and niece by the back collars, carried them on his shoulders, turned and walked towards the courtyard.

After taking two steps, he subconsciously stopped, and involuntarily weighed Huihui: "...it's a bit heavier."

Later, Zenyuan Shier said to Hualichun with some approval: "You are quite good at raising. When I raised this kid, this kid was skinny."

"..." Hui suddenly lost his expression and remained motionless, like a corpse.

Hualichun was tightly bound by Zenyuan Shier's arms like a weak and helpless cat, but she still tried to struggle: "Wait a minute, Shier, I..."

"Didn't you say that when we met outside the bookstore? Because I escaped from the Zenyuan family, I should live more freely. You think that if you still live in the shadow of the Zenyuan family, then you have left the Zenyuan family." Where I eat people, I still lose, right?"

Hualichun was interrupted by Zenyuan Shier's words.He walked out of the small building of Hoshino Club and looked up into the distance.

"Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, anyway, someone from the Chanyuan family will definitely come. Although I don't know who will come, but I must stay here." He said, "You are right. I want to make a good end with the past. .Only by doing this will I be truly free."

"As for your task, let me think about it..." The man dragged his voice, and finally exhaled, and said casually, "Family affairs are handled by adults, so you just make sure that I can have good articles to read next." Yes, niece."

He stuck out his tongue and licked the uneven scar at the corner of his dry mouth: "After all, life without books is too boring."

This is the first time that Zenyuan Shier has the appearance of an elder, or an adult.

Hualichun lay on Shier's shoulders in the Zen garden, with his hands down, silent, looking at the ground: "..."

Her mission...

Zenyuan Shier easily led the two of them out from the blind corner of the media camera as they did when they came.After dumping Jun Hanagi and Megumi to Tanjiro Kamado who had been waiting at the street corner, who was stunned when he saw them, he turned around and disappeared again.

After returning to the Hoshinosha small building, Zenyuan Shier turned off all the lights, confirmed that all doors and windows were closed and the curtains were drawn tightly, then dragged a chair from the office area and placed it in the center of the first floor.

Afterwards, he sat down on the chair and spread his long legs.In the darkness, the sorcerer killer's pitch-black silhouette looked like a fierce god sitting in a guard.

He murmured to himself: "Come on."

……

Shinkansen Tokyo Station, a bullet train slowly enters the station.

The door opened, and the passengers came out in a file. Only when the train door was sparsely populated did a teenage black-haired boy in a kimono with a gloomy face appear at the train door.

On a cold winter night, Zenyuan Naoya opened his lips slightly and exhaled a mouthful of white mist.Then he stepped up and walked towards the exit of the station.

After a year, today is the time for him to end his relationship with Hualichun.
