They entered the house at the same time.

--them.Aphra's familiar companion, and a strange man who claims to be a "drug seller".

As Afra walked, she couldn't help but focus her eyes on the medicine seller.

The strangely dressed young man did not speak.Except for the chance meeting at the door—Aphra didn't think it was a "coincidence", he opened his mouth abruptly and said his name, and he just let others look at him.Whether it's Afra's surprise and curiosity, or the vigilance of other fusangshen and monsters, it seems that they can't move him.

However, when Afra got Kagome's acquiescence and walked into the house, the medicine seller also came in naturally.

Around this young man, it seemed that even the atmosphere became slightly drunk involuntarily.

Aphra couldn't describe that feeling well.But the presence of this man is indeed very strong.Even if he doesn't speak - you can't ignore him.

The two groups of people got together and introduced each other very naturally.

And, as you can imagine, Maitreya, who is always talkative, took the initiative and affectionately to hold Aphra's hand, and his classic lines came out of his mouth:

"Beautiful lady, please give birth to me—uh poo!"

The flying bones of the coral, with precision, speed...and force, stuck to Maitreya's head.

Aphra: Indifference.gif

She silently withdrew her hand, and at the same time moved two steps to the side, a little further away from Maitreya, lest the fusangshen who were eager to try and put their hands on the scabbard behind them would really pull out their bodies.

In real life, Aphra actually noticed it too.

The friends around her were eager and trying to escape at the same time, that kind of contradictory attitude.

Aphra didn't know what behavior to use to reassure them.The experience of being congenitally weak, lying on the hospital bed for many years, and passing by the god of death many times did not make the little girl develop a gloomy and irritable character, but made her deeply understand the truth: happiness is Fleeting.

Life is short, and it's not anyone's fault.However, those loves and warmth that make people can't help but want to cry, if they are not cherished desperately, then they will soon escape.

— there is no way to catch it.

So Aphra took every person she met and every little bit of kindness she received in her heart.However, she didn't know that there were some things that she could take the initiative to reach out.

Someone will grant her request.Someone has been longing for her hands.

"Need me." "Let me help you." "Say to me—'Stay with me, don't leave'."

There is only one-sided giving, but letting the other party go. This is like a chain that runs through the canyon, but is tied to the edge with a cotton thread. Not only is there no sense of security, it makes people feel like walking in mid-air all the time. .

Aphra never knew this.She was taken away by the god of death before she got the chance to ask for it.

...what a fool.

"What an idiot." That night, when Bawei returned to Aphra in a rage, and he was so angry that he was half dead, Jiro Tachi put his hands on his cheeks and said slowly.

Taro Taidao remained silent, but gently adjusted the direction of the big sword in his arms.

"Master and youkai are so stupid~" Jiro Tachi smiled softly, "Obviously, as long as you get used to it, it will be fine."

Since they don't have the consciousness to actively approach, let them come.

Let Aphra get used to living with them little by little, and invade Aphra's pace step by step.This kind of thing, so far, has not been done very smoothly.

Everything was too natural, hidden under the thought of "wanting to treat her better" and "wanting to take good care of her", even the fox demon himself didn't realize what he was doing.

...If, one day, the master can never leave them again, that would be great.

Jiro Tachi lazily stretched out his hand and dialed the wine jar, listening to its empty echo.

"Obviously I'm already doing this, but I have to tell the truth. It's impossible for the master to treat the fox as an envoy of God. How stupid. What exactly are you expecting?"

Odachi muttered.

There was a hint of unnoticed, imperceptible envy in his voice.

Monsters can become angels.so good.

In this case, it is a "contract".

Although I was bound like this, I was no longer as free and unscrupulous as I am now.

——However, master, he is also "bound".

Ahh, the thought of being able to bind the master with such a contract makes my whole body feel hot.

Aphra can no longer leave their perception and go to other places that they cannot perceive.will not disappear.Will not abandon the sword, let them once again, alone, dead, sleeping in the dark.

However, the current owner will not realize this.

In the heart of the gods, they must be regarded as "friends".

"friend".Equal, intimate, caring.In Aphra's heart, the sword Fusangshen is on an equal footing with the gods.

How could she accept it and restrain her friends, how could she be willing to tie a long rope around the neck of the unrestrained fox demon and pull off the sharp horns of the evil Luo king, so that they can restrain their nature?

Don't even think about it.Aphra absolutely refused.

That's why I said Ba Wei is an idiot.

Protesting against Afra's stocking in such a cryptic way, how could Afra understand it.

Even if you understand it, it is absolutely impossible to accept it.

Jiro Tachi turned around with a smirk, and poked the elder brother beside him.

"Hey, big brother," he said dreamily, the oiran makeup on his head was already loose between movements. "We have made the Excalibur for thousands of years and listened to the prayers of countless people—"

Isn't it, it's too sad.

Familiar with human nature to this extent, one can see through the owner's heart that is clearer than a clear spring at a glance, but let himself approach without hesitation.

"...No." Taro Tachi replied in a deep voice.He pulled his brother up from the ground with his scabbard, motioning him to look up.

Standing next to Bawei, whose anger had dissipated, and who turned his face awkwardly, Aphra, the little girl favored by the gods, smiled brightly at them as if she had sensed the sight from this side.

Jiro Tachi was stunned for a moment, smoothed his temples with his fingers, and couldn't help but also smiled.

……

"So, is this the reason why you don't like the dog demon?"

As Taro Tachi asked, he couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at his younger brother.

Jiro Tachi innocently opened his eyes wide, and at the same time deliberately showed his side face slightly, so that the beautiful eye ends with eyeliner were reflected in the candlelight.

They have entered the courtyard.

From the outside it looks like a courtyard of an old residence, but once you walk in, you will find the difference.

Just like the routine of haunted houses, let’s not mention the routine of walking in and not getting out, this place is like a clock whose alarm has been set in advance, and when the fixed time comes, it will shine again.

"Light up the brilliance".Not in a metaphorical sense, but literally, shining from the inside out.

In addition to the unattended lamps that float automatically, the lanterns that are hung all over the corridor, in addition to the courtyard covered with fine gravel and dotted with green shrubs, even the pillars of the main hall, the screens that are both decorative and sheltering, and the delicately painted The shadow wall of the lotus also emits a faint gleam.

It's not that kind of pretentious little trick, this light is not dazzling, only when you stare intently can you discover the mystery, otherwise you will definitely think that this light is someone lighting a lantern behind the wall.However, just such a little brilliance makes the residence, which is not inferior, reflect a noble and dusty atmosphere.

"It's so beautiful!" Aphra praised sincerely, "I always feel that when this kind of light is on, it seems that the style comes up in an instant. Uwah, Bawei? Xiaohuwan?" She turned her head and asked for the most The opinion of the two who started to discover the mansion, "Doesn't this look like a haunted house?"

In the beginning, Aphra was always used to addressing others with honorific titles——because Aphra knew that everyone she met was older than her! ——However, for everyone else, even if they don't regard her as their master like Touken Fusangshin, for Bawei and King Eluo, Aphra is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

With such majestic spiritual power, who else would think that their sense of existence is thin, except for the idiot Afra?

Therefore, Afra's address to others was finally forcibly changed.

And the only grandfather Pinganchao who accepted the honorific title with peace of mind, while laughing hahaha, gambled on the dignity of Wuhua Taidao, and kept his most beautiful handsome face in the world in the (not) martial arts arena.

But at this moment, Xiaohumaru couldn't help laughing when Afra asked him this question.

"Since the master said so," the white-haired and red-eyed Taidao looked at the little girl, tilted his head with a smile, "then let this house no longer be a haunted house, wouldn't it be fine."

"Just kidding. How can there be such a saying." Bawei crossed his arms indifferently, and stabbed Xiaohuwan, "—Hey, don't listen to what this knife says," he turned his head to Afu La said, frowning slightly, impatiently, "Don't go to something harmless just because it looks harmless. Those who are really harmful will not tell you in a big way."

"Is that so? I'm sorry, I almost believed it." Aphra admitted her mistake honestly, and while following everyone inside, she joked with the two of them: "Xiaohuwan and Bawei really have a very good relationship." Well."

"Who has a good relationship with that monster?!"

"Who has a good relationship with that knife?!"

As expected, the two retorted in unison, and at the same time gave a cold "hum".

Aphra covered her mouth and snickered.

Although it always seems to be tit-for-tat, and I can't help bickering from time to time, but it probably has something to do with the little fox who forged himself. In short, before Xiaohumaru realized it, he Involuntarily walked to the side of Bawei.

The two handsome young men with the same silver-white long hair looked at each other and narrowed their eyes in displeasure.

Beside Afra, Kagome Higurashi couldn't help laughing, and quickly blocked it with the back of her hand.

no way.It seems that in this god—although she doesn't know who it is, but looking at the pair of light wings that are obviously not owned by humans and monsters, and the spiritual power that belongs to nature, besides gods, there are What could it be? ——Anyway, beside Afra, it seems that even a little bit of nervousness can't be left behind.

It's not that he's so rough that he doesn't care about anything, but because he is extremely confident in his own strength and firmly believes that he can protect the people he values, so he doesn't care.

……so good.

Kagome sighed softly.

Just watching their conversation, it seems to be infected by the relaxed atmosphere.

It was as if the exhaustion of looking for the Jade of the Four Souls these days had been evaporated, making people feel from the bottom of their hearts that "here is safe" and "rest to the fullest".

...Then, when Kagome didn't pay attention, Inuyasha came over with a bad complexion.

"Hey!" the dog demon said in a rough voice, and even his ears were pricked up, "You bastard, don't just add trouble by relying on your status as a god!"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome hurriedly stopped him, "What nonsense are you talking about! Aphra didn't—"

"Who said there is no such thing!" The dog demon gritted his teeth in displeasure, "Just now, didn't you ask a particularly idiotic question! And, look at this indifferent attitude, hey!" He widened his eyes annoyed , growled fiercely at Aphra, "Do you know what we are here for! Idiot! If you are not careful, you will die!"

Aphra was scolded blankly, and looked up at him blankly.

...Being watched pitifully by the little girl, thanks to Inuyasha who was able to maintain a fierce look, he stared back without giving in at all.

"...Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Kagome tugged on his fire mouse fur, but he broke away with all his strength.The reincarnated witch was also a little annoyed, and couldn't help but take a deep breath:

"Sit! Sit! Sit—!!"

……

Bang, clang, clang.

After three loud bangs, a deep pit immediately appeared on the path in the courtyard.

Restrained by the rosary beads around his neck, Inuyasha smashed into the ground in disgrace, revealing an angry head.

"What are you doing—! Damn woman!" Inuyasha growled angrily.

"What are you doing!" Kagome squirted back louder than Inuyasha, "Aphra obviously has her own things to do, and she promised to help us, what's causing the trouble! You're the one doing it! What kind of temper tantrum! If you bully a girl casually like this again, I will not be polite!"

"Why are you being polite!" Inuyasha's head was throbbing with blue veins, "Knock me to the ground with a word of speech - why are you being so polite!" He was furious, and jumped out of the artificially formed pit in an instant, "I said it all Be careful! And make such a loud noise!"

"It's not like what you said," Kagome looked at him with raised eyebrows, "You never said 'be careful', Inuyasha, and——you are the loudest one?!"

"Ha-ah? Are you kidding me!" Inuyasha jumped, "How could I-"

"...Hello," at this moment Mitreya cleared his throat.He carefully observed the distance between Fusangshin and the monster behind Afra, and stretched out his hand to pull Inuyasha aside, then lowered his voice, and asked a bit guilty:

"Could it be, Inuyasha, you..." He glanced at the cute little girl again from the corner of his eye, thinking it was a matter of course: "...are you concerned about Aphra?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" But the dog demon just frowned angrily, "Who cares about the gods? I just think she's in the way! She has nothing to do and makes trouble everywhere!"

Maitreya: "..."

You really still care about her? ?

Maitreya didn't want to talk to the one-headed dog demon, and threw a dozen wind points.

"...Anyway, you offended her companion very badly." Mitreya muttered to himself, and then glanced at the group of people with dark faces, and those who were surrounded in the middle. Although he was still a little dazed, it was obvious that The little girl who is not angry about it.He silently raised his hand and patted Inuyasha on the shoulder, turned around and left in a bleak manner.

Inuyasha didn't know why, but he still persistently expressed his disdain for the god before stepping over the threshold.

And inside the gate, startled by the sound of a guest coming to the door—or rather, the host who was startled by the earth-shattering quarrel just now, is waiting for the evil guest with a smile.

People appeared in the originally empty courtyard, which should have been a frightening thing.

However, just like this suddenly lit courtyard.Because the luster is too beautiful, it makes people lose the power of fear, leaving only the instinct to appreciate beauty.

——The woman sitting in the front seat looks like this.

Black hair like satin, eyes as dazzling as stars.

The luxurious twelve single clothes are printed and dyed with blooming lotus patterns.

"Although the cherry blossoms are beautiful, they will eventually fall, and the beauty will never come back. My life has been wasted, and the rain is endless."

Can this waka by Ono Komachi, a famous beauty in the Heian Dynasty, roughly describe her beauty?

Those smiling eyes lifted up slightly, and after staring at everyone one by one, they landed on Aphra accurately.

"I am the daughter of the guilty minister." She spoke, even her voice was gentle. "Please call me, Lian Ji."

I don't know where the sound of clapping palms came from.The paper door leading to the inside opened silently, and well-trained attendants came out one by one.

They carried lanterns in their hands.Use lanterns instead of candles from unknown sources to illuminate the interior.

The moment the light came on, Aphra blinked in confusion.

……what.

The quiet fragrance came from the corner.It was an exquisite incense burner, probably just finished, reflecting a new metallic luster.

This is... a lotus flower, isn't it?

Her gaze couldn't help but stay on the decoration of the incense burner.

"..."

The sound of the hem of the clothes rubbing against the ground sounded from the side.

Aphra came back to her senses, and immediately felt embarrassed for her untimely distraction.

She pursed her lips a little shyly, and showed a small smile to the hostess who was always smiling and staring at her.

"Mrs. Lian Ji...?" Aphra tilted her head hesitantly, "Thank you for letting us stay overnight."

She looked back at the sky outside the courtyard, which was becoming more and more gloomy because it was about to rain: "Ah, if it weren't for Mrs. Lian Ji, I'm afraid we would be drenched in the rain."

Lian Ji smiled softly, "Then, your companion—"

Aphra looked back, feeling a little dazed.

"Yes, my companion." She was thinking, and poked her cheek with her finger, "Well, I remember,...me and companion, my, companion..."

The faint fragrance spread.Bright shimmer.candlelight.starlight.Lotus incense burner.Brown pancakes.shine.patio.patio.patio--

"—I am, her companion."

said a voice.

The drug seller who carried the rattan box put down his package.

Leaden hair hung down his cheeks.The gray-blue eyes scanned around slowly, and met Afra's.

The man spoke with a wonderful rhythm.He opened his mouth, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, leisurely, but also with the strength to do what he said.

He stared straight at Aphra and whispered:

"I am, your...companion."
