I, Seimei, can't be an audiophile

"By the way, speaking of it, you just said you heard my name. I wonder if you've heard of Master Seimei?"

It is a good habit to ask whenever you think of it. For King Ma Cangye who can listen to his heart, facing a monster with a bit of a naive personality, asking questions directly is the fastest way for him to obtain information.

Unexpectedly, the monster in women's clothing—let's call him Ibaraki, but Ibaraki stopped and stood there with his arms in his arms, his face livid and shivering!

Ye Wang was taken aback, this was a reaction he had never expected.

"Have you met Lord Seimei?"

"Huh? Ah... Can, can you not mention that man's name? He... I don't like it very much."

Ibaraki smiled weakly.

You may be wondering, if Ibaraki had met Seimei, why didn't he recognize Li Qingming when he saw him?

Ibaraki's intuition is very strong, and it was like this when he was a human being. Perhaps in the eyes of most humans and even monsters, Li Qingming and Abe Seimei have the same appearance and the same color of soul, so they can be regarded as a person.

But in Ibaraki's view, the difference between the two is as huge as piranhas and aquatic plants, and they are not the same thing at a glance.

What's more, for monsters, their vision is not through the optical perception of the naked eye, but "seeing" in a way similar to the sense of breath. Although they can also see some outlines, they only regard it as the second Information.

It's like when humans see a flower and a bottle of perfume, they first notice that they are not the same thing in appearance, and then they notice that they both smell like jasmine.

Monsters have a similar feeling, but the order is reversed, they will pay attention to the breath first, and then look at the appearance.

Even so, Ibaraki was also the first one to tell the difference between Li Qingming and Abe Seimei just by looking at him. He didn't even connect the good person who was eager to help him with the monster that terrified him back then.

Yes, fear, even now recalling his first encounter with Abe Seimei, he still couldn't contain the strong fear.

At first, what he saw was Yuan Boya, Yuan Boya was playing the flute under Rashomon, the music was very melodious and beautiful, even a rough man like Ibaraki felt at ease when he heard it, and all his troubles disappeared with the music.

So Ibaraki couldn't help asking Minamoto to play another piece, and Minamoto played another piece very accommodatingly, without asking who was at Rashomon and asked him to play.

As a thank you, Ibaraki threw the jade flute he got from other places to Yuan Boya. Originally, the intersection between him and Yuan Boya should have ended at this point.

Although Ibaraki likes Minamoto Hiroya's playing, he just likes it. As I said before, he is just a rough guy who just thinks it sounds good.

but……

"Ah, ah, so the ghost of Rashomon is a monster formed by resentful spirits?"

That man, that terrible man appeared!

Wearing a white safari in the night, the man with an unusually fair face and hands is particularly eye-catching at night.

That monster-like man jumped onto the tall Rashomon with a few light steps, and he was even more like a monster than Ibaraki!

The man easily found the bones of Ibaraki when he was a human being above Rashomon.

Yes, life is difficult, and Ibaraki, who can only make a living by robbing passers-by on Rashomon, has a rather short life as a human being.

In order to avoid being chased and killed by officers and soldiers, he has been hiding in the sky for too long, and just in time for the city to be closed due to war, no one travels, and naturally there is no source of food. Ibaraki's bones are on the Rashomon. This is the biggest reason why he lives here. Here It is the birthplace of 'Youkai Ibaraki Doji'.

——By the way, even if you become a monster, if you haven't learned how to fight, it means you haven't learned it. It's not surprising to be beaten by a living person.

But monsters are monsters after all, after Ibaraki learned fighting methods and spells from Shuten, he quickly surpassed all of Shuten's subordinates, even Shuten himself, but Ibaraki himself didn't realize it.

The Shuten in his impression will always be the tall image that holds him down and beats him, and he takes it for granted that Shuten is stronger than himself.

To the point where he becomes a youkai and possesses a physical body that can move away from the bones, Ibaraki no longer relies on his own bones.

For youkai, the bones of their own birth are just the shadow of the past, just like the hatchlings do not miss the eggshell.

But no matter what, it is also a part that is closely related to him. Ibaraki did not touch his own bones, and even for a long time at the beginning, he did not realize that he was dead until he saw Shuten.

Long story short, back to the topic, when the frightening man appeared in front of Ibaraki and easily jumped on Rashomon, Ibaraki felt terrified.

It is an instinct, the stronger the monster, the stronger the instinct for survival, especially Ibaraki was a man whose wild intuition was greater than thinking before he was alive.

Before that, Ibaraki had never heard of Abe Seimei, nor was he afraid of any onmyoji. It was not until he saw that man with his own eyes that he finally realized that there is indeed a so-called "natural enemy" in the world. That terrible man, that unknown The 'something' has invaded his territory.

"Sorry to interrupt, I just want to know, where did you find the flute you gave him? Why did he accept your flute, but rejected the flute I gave you?"

The man asked him with some confusion, no matter the expression, language, or movements were very gentle, but it made Ibaraki feel creepy.

If you want to describe it, it's something that doesn't know what it is, pretending to be a human being and talking to him.

"It's just... a very ordinary flute..."

Thinking about it now, that was the wrong choice and the stupidest answer.

Ibaraki still underestimated how terrifying the man was.

"Is that so..." The monster disguised as a human made a thoughtful expression and movement, and then smiled, "Then just look at the memory. It's great that your bones are intact——"

——Don't, don't, don't, don't!Ah ah ah ah ah! !

The shuddering feeling in the memory runs through Ibaraki, making him tremble!He seems to have returned to the helplessness when he met that man. At that time, his memory, all of his memories, were forcibly extracted from the bones without any privacy. No matter how much he begged and howled, he could not exchange for the slightest bit of pity and sympathy from the other party. .

In the end, I also said that I am very grateful for his help. As a gift, I will process your bones before burying them. This will prevent your bones from being used by warlocks for such purposes next time. It completely broke Ibaraki's spirit!

His bones were taken away by that man, he himself didn't know the whereabouts of the bones, he didn't dare to pursue or ask, Ibaraki didn't want to have anything to do with that monster at all!

—— King Ma Cang Ye frowned slightly.

He can hear other people's thoughts instead of reading their brains, so he doesn't know the finer details.

But he already knew a general idea. Ibaraki had met Seimei-sama before, and was forcibly extracted by Seimei-sama and took away the bones. Therefore, Ibaraki was very afraid of Seimei-sama.

Wait a minute, could it be... Ibaraki is Seimei-sama's shikigami?Just like Doman made the black tengu, Seimei-sama used Ibaraki's bones to make it into a powerful shikigami?Black Tengu was also very afraid of Doman, because Doman had handled his bones.

But after making this guess, Ye Wang himself denied the inference.He still remembered Master Seimei's dissatisfaction with Doman trapping the female ghost, Master Seimei would use the bones to make Ibaraki into a shikigami?Ye Wang didn't believe it.

However, it is undeniable that the Seimei-sama who terrified him in Ibaraki's memories is very different from the Seimei-sama that Wang Ye has come into contact with, both in terms of personality and mode of action, they are like two completely different people.

Ma Cangye Wang was confused, but he finally decided to trust Lord Seimei, there must be some kind of misunderstanding.

Seeing that Ibaraki was so scared, Ye Wang really felt pity for this monster.

Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, Master Qingming was indeed the one who frightened the other party enough. Ye Wang felt that as a subordinate (fan), he should clarify for Master Qingming.

"Please don't be so scared. Master Seimei is a very gentle person. Even he has compassion for monsters and the dead. It's not what many people think."

Ibaraki couldn't help but whispered: "You don't know anything at all!"

At that time, the terrible feeling of memory being extracted, as if he himself had been dissected alive, like crushing him bit by bit and stuffing him into a human-shaped mold, the kind that turned himself into a very small one, formed by memory. The feeling that the particles could blow him away in one breath at any time is really too terrifying!

The existence of youkai itself is strongly related to emotions and memories. It is more accurate to say that it is an intelligence body.

The act of directly reading information from such an information body, replacing it with a human being is equivalent to breaking you down into molecular particle levels for research and then synthesizing them back. You are still conscious during this process, so how can you not be afraid!

Seeing that he was still terrified, King Ye could only sigh, took off his robe and put it on for the other party.Even knowing that this is a big guy in women's clothing, I still feel pitiful enough to be scared like this by my boss.

"Don't be afraid, no matter what happened, it's a thing of the past. It won't happen again. If you meet Master Qingming next time, you can mention my name. I can still speak in front of Master Qingming. .”

Ye Wang's words effectively calmed Ibaraki's fear, and Ibaraki comforted himself.That's right, that's all in the past. It's been so long, and the monster didn't do anything with his bones. It's probably true that he was buried after being treated as he said. He doesn't have to be afraid of encountering similar experiences again.

Ibaraki grasped the coat that was draped over his body, and suddenly realized the smell.

——Wait for me, I'm here to let King Ma Cang Ye relax his vigilance, so that he can be taken away, why does it seem to be comforted by this brat?

Ibaraki looked up at Wang Ye in disbelief, the suspicion that had just arisen in his heart choked back when he saw Wang Ye's concerned expression.

——He probably didn't discover my identity and deliberately let me relax my vigilance, but was really worried about me.

It seems that the brother is right, Ye Wang does prefer mature women.Ah, there is no way, even if I wear women's clothes, I am also a country and a city. A little bit of role-playing is extremely realistic. I act so much that the onmyoji can't help but fall in love. There is really no way.

What should I do, how should I refuse him better?I really don't want to cheat people's feelings.How can I be more tactful in refusing?People are too beautiful to be popular, it is really a helpless thing.

Ye Wang: ...
