[Comprehensive] Winter Feast

It wasn't until seeing the decline of the Ichimuren Shrine with his own eyes that Yae knew why when Abe Seimei summoned the god general, Ichimuren only protected her and didn't protect Ugly.

It wasn't because of any bullshit intimacy, it was entirely because Yimulian's strength was only enough for him to protect one person, and it was Yae who was pulling the hem of his clothes at that time.

The bullock cart was moving smoothly, with only a slight sway. Abe Seimei looked at the delicate young female monster with his chin propped up, and said slowly: "The little girl needs to smile more to look good, Miss Yae, don't show such a sad expression."

"I'm not happy but I have to hide it, isn't this the really sad thing?" Yae said so, Kacha took another bite of the apple candy.

"Then let's talk about something happy." The bullock cart stopped, Seimei got up first, and after getting out of the cart, he opened the curtain and extended a hand to the short-handed and short-legged Yae, "You can ask that samurai yourself , where did the female monster disappear?"

As Abe Seimei said this, a voice came from a distance: "Seimei, when will you—"

The male voice who made no secret of his anxiety stopped suddenly when he got close. Yuan Boya saw the tall Liuhe, and realized that there were more than the shikigami he was familiar with beside his friend.

Yuan Boya is a rare psychic, and his spiritual power is quite strong. Although Abe Seimei did not say it clearly, he can feel the difference between the twelve gods and other shikigami. So relaxed in front of other shikigami.

"Huh?" Yuan Boya also saw a small figure emerging from the bullock cart.

The ox cart has a high floor, and Yae has a child's figure, with short legs that can't reach the ground. It's not a lady who is inconvenient to move because of her skirt, and the hand of an onmyoji is useless at all.

Liuhe sighed silently, stretched out his hands to support Yae's creaking nest, and hugged her down.

Yae: "..."

The little Yae standing on the ground, in the eyes of Yuan Boya, is just a soft and tender little dumpling.

Tender little balls are terrifying creatures that cry at every turn—whether they're humans or monsters.

Yuan Boya was under great pressure: "Qingming, are you stealing someone's child?"

Then he saw Xiaotuanzi's pink and tender face clearly, and his whole body froze suddenly: "You are... Yae?"

Yae recalled it carefully, but couldn't think of where he met Yuan Boya: "You know me?"

"I, I am..." Yuan Boya gave a name, which was the baby name he used when he was a child.

Yae has lived two lifetimes, and she still remembers clearly when she was a child: "So it was you." They played together when they were young, and she didn't know that the kid at that time was Yuan Boya, but Yuan Boya still remembered her.

Yuan Boya's face was ugly, Yae just smiled: "What are you afraid of, I won't eat you again."

Abe Seimei changed the topic with a smile: "Boya, did the female figure you saw in Ouchi disappear in the sword room?"

Yuan Boya withdrew his attention from Yae, and thought for a while: "Yes, it is near the sword room."

"Sure enough." Abe Seimei murmured.

Yuan Boya asked eagerly: "Qingming, is it really a monster? Do you have a solution?"

Two incidents occurred within half a day, and the night watchmen were panicked, and they had to settle the matter before the gossip reached the emperor's ears.

Yuan Boya has a stubborn personality, thinking about the things in the palace, he forgot about Yae for the time being.

But unfortunately, Abe Seimei turned his gaze away: "Miss Yae?"

The shikigami who took care of Abe Seimei's daily life appeared at some point, and set up wagashi refreshments on the wooden corridor to entertain Yae. Yae had a half-eaten apple candy in one hand, and in the other hand Delicate pastry with a pinch and a bite.

Being watched by the two men, Yae, who had sweets in both hands, blushed, then stuffed wagashi into his mouth, covered his mouth with the wide cuff of his kimono, chewed and swallowed it quickly.

Although he was embarrassed by being caught looking at his gluttonous appearance, Yae did not forget the previous exchange condition: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"When this matter is over, I will tell you what to do." Abe Seimei gave a clear reply.

Yae believed in the character of Onmyoji, so he stopped being a fool, and asked Yuan Boya: "The sword room..." The familiar title appeared in an era that should not have appeared, Yae paused, and then continued as if nothing had happened, "In the sword room... , is there a demon sword that can confuse people's minds?"

"That knife is about this long." Yae stretched out his hand and made a gesture higher than his own height, "The blade is black and gold, it looks pretty."

Although he is a nobleman, it is impossible for Yuan Boya to be clear about the royal treasures, especially the existence of "confusing people's minds", which sounds extremely strange-they should not be collected in the imperial palace.

"I don't know what you guys call it, but in the stories I heard," Yae took another bite of the candy apple, "her name is Demon Sword Fairy."

The time to go to the palace is naturally at night, but now it is only in the morning, and the time to kill is a long whole day.

Yae decided to go to the palace with Abe Seimei to have a look at the sword room at night, so he stayed in his mansion, which was overgrown with wild grass and had a unique wild charm.

No matter how human beings judge Seimei's residence, as a cherry blossom monster, Yae undoubtedly likes this earthy courtyard.

The two men were drinking on the wooden porch, and Yae was telling stories to honey bugs in the shade of the tree, from the cute and kind young lady of Yaodao Ji, to the cute and cute girl of ugly time, to Ibaraki Doji's fanatical pursuit of Shuten Doji.

The stories followed one after another, and the audience also increased from one to several. First, the shikigami Aya who took care of Abe Seimei’s daily life with the honey insect quietly appeared and sat down beside the honey insect, and then the young one among the twelve gods Taiyin also landed on the tree behind Yae full of curiosity, and in the end, a capable female with short and medium hair also appeared.

"Wow, there are so many people," Yae let out a small exclamation, and smiled with the corners of her eyes bent, the sunlight shining through the leaves gathered into bright spots in her pupils, "It's time for the girls' meeting."

Tai Yin asked excitedly: "What will a woman be?"

So Yae told the story about the women's association.

On the wooden porch, Minamoto looked at the courtyard from time to time. Although he tried his best to conceal it, Abe Seimei knew who he was looking at.

"Bo Ya." Onmyoji called out to his best friend.

"Huh?" Yuan Boya took a sip from the wine cup, and uttered a questioning syllable.

"Tell me a story about Yae." Although Abe Seimei's tone was an invitation, it was persuasive and persuasive, revealing a firmness that could not be refused.

Yuan Boya, who possesses superb music literacy, is proficient in bow skills. He is a warrior of noble origin. People at the time commented on his noble temperament and noble conduct. fact.

"Qingming... Can she hear me when I speak now?" Yuan Boya's words were not so much hesitation as a gesture.

Abe Seimei raised two fingers and pressed them to his lips, and then made a "go" gesture, and his spiritual power spread out, forming an enchantment: "Okay, I can't hear you now."

Yuan Boya then began to talk: "Yae and I are indeed childhood playmates, but I recognized her at a glance, not from the long-term memory of my childhood."

"Qingming, do you know this family?" Yuan Boya gave a rather distinguished surname.

Abe Seimei replied yes, of course he had heard of it: "It's a very low-key nobleman."

"Yae is the daughter of this family." Yuan Boya lowered his eyes, the breeze blew, and ripples appeared in the wine cup.

Family members with distinguished surnames only participate in the most high-class banquets, rarely walk on the streets, and there are not many eclectic stories to spread.The names of many of them, to most people, are mysterious because of their nobility.The women with that surname are even more unknown.

But in certain circles, there are always people who have seen those women.

"It's a rumor I heard five or six years ago—"

Yuan Boya was also eligible to participate in the banquet attended by the Yae family, but he did not see Yae directly at the banquet, but heard rumors about her.

It is said that she caught the attention of the master of the palace at a certain banquet. The young emperor who was restrained and seldom made personal comments recited poems for her for the first time and praised her beauty.

Everyone thought that she would enter the imperial palace in the near future, gather all the honors and favors, and add another brilliance to her family.

However, what came next was not the news that she was favored by the emperor, but the news that she died of a sudden illness, and another girl in the family who was similar to her age entered the court and was favored by the emperor.

Minamoto Hiroya is not a storyteller, so he ended his narration dryly with a few words, and Abe Seimei spit out the tone of exclamation: "Hey," he said, "Woman, it's really scary."

Yuan Boya took a sip of wine silently, and did not refute his friend's guess. What the so-called "severe illness" is, the truth has actually been revealed during the secret investigation by everyone. This kind of thing is very common, and some people involved will even treat it as Merit is ostentatious, but also because it is so common, the culprits are usually not held accountable.

Yae is just a sad victim, a loser.

Onmyoji turned to look at Yae who looked like a child in the courtyard, she was telling the story vividly, the smile on her face was not hazy.

"Bo Ya, do you think Yae knows?"

"She knows." Yuan Boya replied.

"The woman who entered the palace instead of Yae has gone mad."

Before going crazy, the girl said that she would wake up for no reason every night, and then saw Yae standing beside her when she was a child, looking down at her eeriely.

Seimei propped his chin with one hand, and brought the wine cup to his lips with the other hand.He looked at Yae, swallowed the wine slowly, and sighed without praise: "Woman, it's really scary."
