[Onmyoji] Deep Sea Girl

Hearing his words, the atmosphere between Arara and Ibaraki eased a lot, but the two still did not back down.

Ibaraki's golden pupils glanced at a certain monster that was hiding in the grove and observed secretly, and said softly, "It was Hoshikuma-douji who reported the news to you, right? He ran really fast."

"I didn't intend to start a fight. It was he who insisted on obstructing me." Ibaraki raised his chin slightly, and said in a cold but firm tone, "I'm repeating, whether Qiong Lang refuses is her decision, and others are not qualified. call the shots."

Huang narrowed his eyes slightly, and replied gloomyly: "Are you going to go your own way?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense, Big Tengu twitched his eyelids, then raised his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to quarrel."

"Ibaraki." Datengu looked at him, his azure blue eyes reflected his stubborn and indifferent figure, "No matter what you do, it is absolutely impossible for Qiong Lang to leave Rakshahai as you wish."

"I know, I never said that I want her to agree to me immediately." Ibaraki turned his head and ignored Huang, he was already prepared to be rejected by Qiong Lang.

"No matter what Qiong Lang will do, I just want her to know my intentions, that's all."

They Dajiangshan monsters, once they like someone, they will never hide in their hearts shyly and hesitantly.

This answer did not soften Huang's face, on the contrary, it became even more ugly. Hearing this, Da Tiangou folded his arms, closed his eyes and said, "You can't wait for that day, Qiong Lang is absolutely impossible... "

"Why do you think I can't wait for that day?" Ibaraki's eyes were slightly cold, and he interrupted him unceremoniously, "Our monsters have such a long lifespan, what's the difference between one day and ten years."

He had the patience to wait.

Hearing this sentence, Ootengu paused, it seems that this opponent is more difficult than expected...

"No reason, we only know that Qiong Lang will never agree to your request."

Ibaraki chuckled lightly, with a hint of coldness on his lips, "Then what does this have to do with my showing my heart to her?"

"Do you still need to ask? If you do this, you will embarrass Qiong Lang." Da Tiangou opened his eyes, and his eyes gradually turned cold, but he smiled without showing any emotion. It's not good for you either."

His voice sounded gentle and full of patience, and he slowly advised, "Qiong Lang is a person who attaches great importance to feelings. You have only known her for two months, but she has devoted 80 years of affection to Luochahai. These 80 years The year is a chasm that you can't cross no matter what."

"Besides, Qiong Lang has always been delicate and introverted about feelings. If you show love to her, she may be troubled by it. In terms of her character, if you do this, she will only try to draw a line with you."

Through getting along with each other these days, he couldn't be more clear about Qiong Lang's temperament.This girl has her own way of getting along with everyone, and she never goes beyond the slightest bit.

Although he is gentle on the surface, he actually distinguishes between distant and close relatives very clearly, and he is not a person who can be easily moved.

Huang nodded in agreement, "That's right, Qiong Lang's heart is full of Rakshahai, I don't want you to add trouble and distress to her because of this kind of thing."

Looking at the silent Ibaraki, Ootengu slowly uttered the last sentence, "Is this result... what you want?"

Even though Ibaraki is his competitor, Datengu never thinks that the other party will pose any threat. He lacks too much understanding of Qiong Lang, so he is bound to lose.

Thinking of Qiong Lang's unfamiliar attitude towards him, Ibaraki was finally shaken by hesitation.

On the morning when he was looking for her in Dajiang Mountain, even though he had already regarded her as a close friend like Jiu Tun, it could be seen that Qiong Lang's words had a faint hint of refusal.In Qiong Lang's eyes, he was more like an ordinary friend and ally.

So Ibaraki didn't doubt Daitengu's words at all, which made his chest feel tight.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Huang finally heaved a sigh of relief, while Dai Tengu smiled at him and secretly gave him a comforting look.

Ara's gaze at Ootengu suddenly softened a lot, and his eyes were full of trust, which was completely different from when he looked at Ibaraki.

After a while, Ibaraki finally spoke again, his awkward tone was less indifferent, but more frustrated, "Why would Qiong Lang try his best to draw a line with me? That zombie just proposed to her the first time we met, didn't she Did nothing."

Could it be that he can't even compare to a zombie he met for the first time?

Big Tengu twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling an urge to slap him with a wind blade, but he still had to smile patiently and said: "So you see, didn't Qiong Lang reject him?"

"Besides, Brother Tiao doesn't really admire Qiong Lang, it's just out of ordinary people's liking. To put it bluntly, he simply wants to find someone who can take care of his younger siblings."

Glancing at Ibaraki, Daitengu lowered his eyes and said softly, "Just like you."

Hearing this sentence, Ibaraki immediately raised his eyebrows, and stared at him displeasedly, "What do you mean, do you doubt my sincerity towards Qiong Lang? I'm not the same as that zombie..."

"Isn't it?" Da Tiangou's tone was a little positive, "I know that you monsters in Dajiangshan have always loved to chase the footsteps of the strong, Qiong Lang is very good, I am not surprised that you will do this. "

"I don't deny that there is a reason why I like her, but..." But that is definitely not the whole of this relationship.

"In that case, why didn't you choose to stay in Rakshahai?" Da Tiangou suddenly interrupted him, and looked straight at him, "Instead of letting Qionglang go back to Dajiangshan with you, why don't you stay in Rakshahai?" Isn't it better?"

"Ibaraki, if you were asked to choose between Shuten and Qionglang, what would you do?"

This sentence was more direct than any reason, and it hit Ibaraki's heart like a huge rock, knocking back all the words he wanted to say.

During the frozen silence, Datengu spoke again, and he said seriously: "No need to answer, I think we should all know the answer to this question, right?"

He guarantees with the righteousness he pursues, that Ibaraki will never give up his best friend who has been with him day and night for 200 years for the sake of Qiong Lang, whom he has only known for two months.

"From Qiong Lang's point of view, you should know why she will never agree to you."

Luo Chahai's position in Qiong Lang's heart is like Jiu Tun's position in his heart.

"So, from this point of view, in fact..." Big Tengu crossed his arms, with an invisible glimmer of light in his eyes, and said calmly, "You don't like Qiong Lang that much at all, or ...you don't really like her at all."

These words shocked Ibaraki's heart, his face turned pale, and his hands holding the bouquet also became stiff.

During the silence, a trace of confusion and entanglement flashed in his eyes.

He has never been in love with any banshee, and he doesn't know what it's like to really like. He only knows that Qiong Lang's feelings for him are different from anyone he's ever known.

But in other words, Qiong Lang is the only banshee he has encountered with a demon power higher than his own.

So... is it really like what the big tengu said?

Seeing Ibaraki pursing his lips and frowning to reveal his confusion, Otengu secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

In fact, the first half of what he said was true, but the second half was false.Ibaraki really liked Qiong Lang, but this love was not very deep.

But... Even if Ibaraki couldn't capture Qiong Lang's heart, he would extinguish the flame in Ibaraki's heart immediately.

No one should try to snatch Qiong Lang from under his wings.

"What Ootengu said is what I want to say, don't you still not understand?" Araki's tense body relaxed a lot, and after listening to Ootengu, he didn't feel that Ibaraki was threatening any more.

After a while, Ibaraki said softly: "I won't make it difficult for her."

Hearing this, the corners of the mouths of the two monsters next to him showed a relaxed smile, and the big tengu patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

After the matter was settled, Arara and Ootengu left side by side, leaving Ibaraki alone sitting on a big rock beside the lush forest, fiddling with the bouquet in his hand in a daze.

After a while, he came back to his senses, glanced at the bushes behind him lightly from the corner of his eye, "How long do you want to hide?"

The air froze for a few seconds, and there was a rustling sound from the grass, Hoshikuma Boy stared at the leaves without saying a word, walked over and sat down beside him.

"Usually dawdle when you're asked to work, but run fast when you're making small reports." Ibaraki glanced at him in disgust, "You're so brave, aren't you afraid I'll beat you up?"

Xingxiong boy shrank his neck, and then said bravely: "You can fight if you want to. Anyway, even if you give me a hundred more chances to choose, I will still do it!"

It was rare for Ibaraki not to get angry and beat him, but he just glanced at the beach covered with waves, and asked: "You are always honest and stupid."

The brothers who have been with each other for many years are not in a normal mood at the moment, Xingxiong boy is not messing around anymore, he is silent for a while, and comforts him: "Don't think about Qiong Lang anymore, that is simply impossible."

"Even you think she will never agree to me?" Ibaraki glanced at him with a somewhat inexplicable tone.

"I don't know." Boy Xingxiong sighed, staring blankly at Yunjuan Yunshu in the sky, "Although I'm afraid of Qionglang, I also like her very much. She has a gentle temper and a good personality. It's not as good as it is, and it's delicious to cook..."

"Then you are still so afraid that I will bring her back to Dajiangshan?"

Xingxiong Boy was silent for a while, and then replied abruptly: "But, I am more worried that you will be so dazzled by her that you don't know where you are."

"I don't want the two of us to come to Raksha Sea together, but only one person returns to Jiu Tun's side in the end."

The gulls in the sky flew over and drew an arc, and accompanied by the sound of clear singing, the two monsters sat side by side on the stone, looking at the ebb and flow of the beach in a trance, the flowers and branches swaying in the wind.

After a long time, Ibaraki stood up and walked towards the distance, "That's enough, you don't have to stay with me anymore."

"Where are you going?" Xingxiong Boy was taken aback.

"Give it to Qiong Lang before the flowers wither." Ibaraki replied calmly, and gagged Xingxiong Boy, "Don't be afraid, I know what to do."

Then, in the silent air, holding a bouquet of flowers, he walked slowly towards the place Yebisu used to fish.

There are two small chairs in a small corner of Raksha Island. Qiong Lang accompanies Yebisu to go fishing here after dealing with the matters in the kindergarten. He can chat with the old man while relaxing.

Now Yebisu left halfway back to the small pond in the forest to feed the goldfish, and Qiong Lang was left lying on the homemade rocking chair holding a fishing rod to help Yebisu guard the fish basket.

There was no one around, she was leisurely closing her eyes, singing unknown songs loudly, her two delicate long legs swaying very rhythmically, she looked relaxed and cheerful, and very excited.

Maybe it was Raksha Island that made her feel so at ease, now that Ibaraki restrained his demonic aura, she didn't vigilantly notice his coming.

"He said that this little pain in the wind and rain is nothing... wipe away the tears and don't be afraid at least we still have dreams..."

"What are you singing? Why can't I understand a word, have you lost your tune so much?"

"Ahem——" Hearing this familiar voice, Qiong Lang was so frightened that he almost choked on his saliva, and the singing stopped abruptly.

She sang the classic old songs that her father loved most in her previous life, and every word was in Chinese. The monsters in the archipelago would be ghosts only if they could understand them.

Qiong Lang quickly stopped shaking his legs, straightened up and sat upright, returning to his usual elegant posture, but his face was still full of shame and embarrassment.

Today, I finally don’t have to take care of the cubs, and I don’t have to hold meetings with the big dog Shuweng and others, and I don’t have to work overtime in the palace. It’s a rare leisure time...

"Why did you come here..." Qiong Lang asked with a bit of bewilderment, turned around and saw Ibaraki and was stunned.

"You don't have to be so reserved when you see me."

Ibaraki didn't understand her embarrassment, and only thought that Qiong Lang subconsciously made such a gesture when he saw him. Although he was used to it for a long time, he still felt a sense of loss in his heart.

He walked over, handed a large bouquet to Qiong Lang, and said in a low voice, "This is for you."

Qiong Lang didn't reply right away, nor did she reach out to pick him up, she just opened her eyes slightly to look at him, the petals that were very close brushed the tip of her nose, and the breeze blew up a faint fragrance.

Seeing this, Ibaraki maintained the posture of handing flowers, and turned his head slightly, "Thank you for taking care of us in Luochahai these days, that bastard Hoshiguma makes big and small troubles every day, and often does not help, here is your Trouble."

"...I heard you said in the morning that you like being given flowers." After a pause, he continued softly, "This bouquet of flowers will be my thank you for the hospitality these days."

After hearing this, Qiong Lang relaxed after confirming that the other party's behavior was not what she expected, and took the bouquet with a smile, "That's it...then I will accept your wish."

While receiving the bouquet, Qiong Lang quietly heaved a sigh of relief, she was really surprised by Brother Tiao's sudden coquettish operation, and thought that Ibaraki would also do the same.

She stretched out her hand to stroke her hair, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I just said something casually, so I'm bothering you."

Qiong Lang was a little surprised, he really couldn't tell that this rough monster would have such a delicate and normal side.

Why is Ibaraki also a guest, she was busy with this and that, and kept spinning like a spinning top every day, and she subconsciously ignored him. Looking back, it seems that she did not treat him well...

Seeing her holding the bouquet in her arms, Ibaraki heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart was complicated.Big Tengu was right, if he really showed his love, Qiong Lang would definitely not accept the bouquet of flowers.

"You are the second person who sent me flowers, thank you, they are very beautiful." Qiong Lang fiddled with this colorful bouquet, looked up and smiled at him, "I will take it back and put it in a vase."

Seeing the delicate petals swaying in the wind, and hearing Qiong Lang's words, Ibaraki's mood also inexplicably improved.

A smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his voice slightly: "You said that we are friends, right?"

"Of course." Qiong Lang raised his head, his expression was unclear so he nodded.

"Since we are friends... can you stop avoiding me all the time? I admit that when I was in Dajiangshan, I didn't do very well..."

Today's Ibaraki looks different from usual, but he can't tell, Qiong Lang feels that he has become like a normal person.

"Nothing! I'm sorry..." Qiong Lang interrupted him with a broken smile, and said slowly, "I never cared about the appointment. I was the one who entertained you before, so don't take it to heart."

Hearing this sentence, Ibaraki's eyes lit up, "Then, dear friend, you won't avoid me anymore, will you?"

The corner of Qiong Lang's mouth twitched, and he suddenly became abnormal again, "No... I'm just too busy, cough... that... can you just call me by my name..."

"You really don't like me calling you that..." Ibaraki sighed slightly, then smiled slowly, "Well, it's just a title after all... Qiong Lang."

It's just a title, Qiong Lang doesn't like his overly eager look, so he should learn from the big tengu.

What the big tengu said made him no longer able to tell what this feeling was, but he couldn't answer that question right now, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.

After all, the bouquet was sent out, even though the reason for speaking was completely different from the original intention.

But as long as Qiong Lang accepts it and doesn't contradict him anymore, and the two can get along as close and happy as others, that's enough, isn't it?
