Perhaps it was because the tossing and tossing was a little too much the night before, the little girl who was still very energetic had slept soundly almost the whole day, and when she fully woke up, it was almost dusk.

The distant glow burned the entire sky into orange red, just like the color on the cheeks of a young girl when she is shy.The door leading to the edge side was ajar, so the sky also burned into the room where the two of them were.At that time, Tong Mo was crouching at the end of the shadow of the sun, looking at the confused person beside the bed with great interest, poking or pinching her with his fingers curiously from time to time.

"Hmm...Master Tong Mo? What time is it now..."

When Xiaosaki spoke, she still had a nasal voice when she first woke up, and her voice seemed to be subtly hoarse compared to usual.

"It's already dusk. In less than three or ten minutes, it will be completely dark." Tong Mo replied.

"ah!"

Only then did the girl seem to have come to her senses, and she sat up abruptly, so her gaze was instantly higher than Tong Mo who was lying on the edge of the bed.

"I agreed to go to the festival tonight!"

"It's not evening yet, eat something first, and you can go out after dark." Tong Mo also straightened up a little, and raised his hand to pat the girl's messy sleeping hair.

"But I have to prepare before the festival! After all, it's a rare festival, and I want to dress nicely." The little guy's cheeks puffed up: "Anyway, there will be food stalls at the festival. I'm not hungry yet, so it doesn't matter if I eat a little later."

"But Xiaosaki looks good even if she doesn't deliberately dress up." Tong Mo blinked, speaking very naturally, not flattering or flattering, but just expressing the most instinctive thoughts in her mind .

The girl was slightly stunned after hearing this, and immediately a thin layer of crimson appeared on the base of her ears.She turned her whole face away, her cheeks were still bulging, and she said in an angry way: "Even if you say that, I...I still want to wear a beautiful bathrobe."

"It's already this time, and I don't even have time to choose it carefully, but the yukata with cherry blossom pattern that I cut earlier is very good... Oh, cherry blossoms are not called summer, and it is still the one with platycodon pattern... But that one is not as good-looking. The headband comes with..."

Most girls' wardrobes are always so unsatisfactory, so the dress for travel will always be particularly troublesome.But because the destination is really pleasing, even if it is troubled, the little girl still has an unconcealable smile on her face.

And the smile on her face turned into surprise when Tong Mo took out a brand new tsubaki-patterned bathrobe: "Eh? This..."

"It was prepared in advance." Tong Mo unfolded the clothes and showed them to Xiaosaki as if showing off.

As a result, the little haze that had been condensed between the girl's eyebrows dissipated instantly, and the whole expression became brighter.

All kinds of shops are set up along the banks of the Sumida River, and people who come to experience the festival are bustling, each with a happy face.Tong Mo, who was mixed in the crowd, held his little girl's hand tightly, while Xiao Saki stuck to his side every step of the way, as if she was afraid that if she didn't pay attention, she would be scattered by the crowd.

Surrounded by the atmosphere of the festival, the two people seem to find everything new. They are noisy all the way, and their steps are always much lighter than other people passing by. They look like elementary school students who have run out of the school - looking innocent and innocent. innocent.

It was the first time for Xiaosaki to experience such a strong festival atmosphere. While looking around, she kept talking to Tong Mo about what she had read in books or imagined in her mind about the festival. A pair of eyes fell on the jumping little guy beside him from the beginning to the end.

——It seems that every moment is cuter than the previous one, and every moment is more vivid than the previous one. This little girl who belongs to him has long surpassed all the scenery in the world.

A large group of fireworks bloomed in the sky over the center of the river, and the gorgeous light and shadow swayed the lights in front of various stalls on the ground, and sprinkled a burst of flickering mottled on the faces of people with their heads up.When Huahuo lifted into the sky, Tong Mo reached out and scooped up the little guy, as if holding a child, let her sit in his arms, and lifted up the little girl who was not tall enough to see the whole picture clearly. stand up.

The exclamation was lost behind the explosion of fireworks, and Xiaosaki who was suddenly lifted up seemed to have forgotten to look up at the fleeting fireworks. She lowered her head slightly and looked at the familiar face close at hand.

"Stop watching fireworks?" Tong Mo asked.

"I'm watching." Xiaosaki frowned and smiled slyly.She raised her hand and lightly touched Tong Mo's eyes: "I'm looking at the firework in Master Tong Mo's eyes and me, it's more beautiful than the firework in the sky."

A series of fireworks rose into the sky and dissipated, and finally returned to calm.So the colorful lights and shadows reflected in the river gradually dissipated.It was time for the floating painting boat to return to its voyage, and the tourists on both sides of the strait withdrew little by little like a tide. After a while, the stall owners who supported the stalls also began to pack their bags, preparing to return to Get a good night's sleep at home.

Just like all tangible things will eventually dissipate, whether it is beautiful fireworks or lively festivals, they only exist at this moment. They are just silhouettes deposited in memory.

——For human beings, the festival has ended here, but the night is still very long, and the night that belongs to "ghosts" can travel freely is still very long.

In fact, two streets away, Tong Mo could smell the smell of blood wafting in the air.Although it has been washed very lightly, Tong Mo, who has experienced many battles, can easily imagine how tragic the scene that can emit this smell is.

It was a ghost whose strength was far inferior to Twelve Ghost Moon's, and it was hunting, relying on such crude methods in an attempt to keep itself alive.

Tong Mo didn't appreciate that kind of hunting, but he was one of the ghosts after all, so naturally he wouldn't go out of his way to ridicule or stop him - right now he has more important things to do.

Kosaki.He had to send her back safely first.

For a long time, they seem to have avoided the question about people and ghosts in a tacit understanding. Xiaosaki didn't ask, and Tong Mo wouldn't deliberately bring it up, let alone let her experience what a real ghost hunt looks like. , or in other words, what does his hunting look like——

He feeds on humans, and she is, after all, a human.

Such a problem will not become non-existent because of their avoidance, and both of them are well aware of this, but even so, they are still avoiding this problem.

Tong Mo didn't intend to disturb the hunting of other ghosts, and he didn't want Xiaosaki to see such a scene, so before turning into that intersection, Tong Mo adjusted his direction first.

It's just that he didn't expect that when fate wants to play tricks on people, people will always be able to avoid it, as if he took Xiaosaki into a dark alley and saw a pair of girls wearing butterfly hairpins unexpectedly——

He's a member of the Ghost Killing Squad.
