Those years when I was looking for my father in Yokohama

The night in the city is lively, especially the Flower Street, which is brightly lit and overcrowded.There are countless pleasure-seekers, and from time to time there are drunken people who leave together.

A few youths who had just drank flower wine were lingering in the smell of alcohol, smiling silly all the way, staggering on the way home, and habitually walked into a dark alley to take a shortcut.

So, in this dark alley that cannot be illuminated by lights, a scene of ghosts and ghosts cannibalism was staged——

Floating in the air, the monster with a huge body showed its ferocious fangs to the drunkards who strayed into the alley and ran in panic, but ran out anyway.

Swah——

The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and the afterimage of cold light flashed, and the monster that was about to eat people in mid-air was instantly beheaded to the ground.

Accompanied by the booming sound of the monster's corpse falling to the ground, a thin figure also fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

At the same time, the drunkards who couldn't leave this alley, as if they had encountered a ghost hitting a wall, found that the invisible resistance disappeared.

After encountering such a thing, their panic caused most of their drunkenness to wake up.After discovering that the barrier that prevented them from leaving disappeared, even the people who saved them forgot to pay attention and thank them, and rushed to escape the alley.

With that terrified appearance, I am afraid that he will never want to walk this way again in his life.

And the short figure who saved them also revealed his appearance in the faint light gradually approaching behind him.

It was a young boy of ** years old with neatly tied sleeves.

He has black and red half-length hair, which is tied into a simple and neat high ponytail at the back of his head, and the flame-like markings on the exposed left forehead are more conspicuous.

He turned around, and the sunflower flower paper earrings on both ears swayed beautifully.Putting away the saber, he smiled at the person behind him.

"Brother Wu Yan, I have solved it."

The young man is exactly Yuan Yi who has grown a lot taller.

Behind him was the undisappeared corpse of an unknown monster.

The one who came was Wu Yan who was carrying a flower-shaped lantern.

"Well, let's go when it's settled."

At this moment, Wu Yan's interest was in the lantern she just got, so she responded a bit perfunctorily.

Yuan Yi didn't take it seriously, and followed Wu Yan out of the alley.

This was the first relatively prosperous city they arrived at after walking for several days after they left the small village.

Even small remote villages are haunted by ghosts, and even more prosperous cities cannot escape the palms of ghosts.

It can even be said that because there are more and more prosperous humans in this city, the ghost branches here are also more diverse and complex.

There are ordinary little monsters born in the city, there are vengeful spirits born because of the evil thoughts of the people, there are evil ghosts who eat people for a living, and there are even monsters who live among humans and so on.

In short, the seemingly prosperous human city is actually a paradise for ghosts.

While humans fear them, they are also empowered by fear.

The monster that can trap people between the walls just now is not the first monster killed by Yuan Yi, who just arrived.

It is said that monsters come out of barren mountains and wild mountains, but in comparison, there are more monsters in places where humans gather.

Along the way, Yuanyi and Wuyan met only a handful of monsters who would attack them.But as soon as I arrived in the city tonight, I ran into many incidents of ghosts and cannibals in a short period of time.

This is only what they discovered when they first arrived. Before they arrived, how many people would become food for ghosts every day?

Yuan Yi, who was following Wu Yan, couldn't help thinking, the immature face was unspeakably complicated.

Like anger, like sadness.

"What are you thinking?" A hand suddenly appeared on his head.

As soon as Yuan raised his head slightly, he saw Wu Yan beside him kept touching his head with one hand, continued to stare at the beautiful lantern in his other hand, and said casually at the same time.

"Don't think too much, you can't save everyone. People who died before you came, that is the other party's doomed disaster."

Having said this, he stopped, turned his head and smiled at Yuan Yi: "You are not a god, don't be too arrogant, Yuan Yi."

The words that seemed casual and percussive made Yuan feel at ease in an instant.

"Well, I see." Yuan, who was gently comforted, nodded, showing a soft and bright smile.

Wu Yan watched, put down her hand touching his head, quickened her pace and walked in front.

The evil ghosts following behind him laughed around Yuanyi, or made funny expressions, making Yuanyi laugh until he could not help laughing, and then followed him with a smile.

Yuan Yi, who was comforted by many people, walked much more lightly, and quickly caught up with Wu Yan. The two, one tall and one short, accompanied by several shorter figures, quickly disappeared into the night market. The speed was so fast that the drunkard passersby thought is the degree of hallucination.

***

In the bustling city at night, not only humans come and go, but it is also the time for monsters to go out.

Because they have lived with humans for many years, many monsters have also learned many human life skills and assimilated some human habits.

The most obvious thing is that monsters imitate humans and open a street at night.

Everything on the street is like the epitome of a human street, everything that can be bought on a human street can be bought here, and everything that is not available on a human street is available here, and it is even more prosperous than a human street.

For example, in the human city, there is the flower street with the most traffic at night, and in the monster street, it is also the place with the largest traffic.

In some respects, apart from the fact that humans and monsters are different in race, there are great overlaps in many places.

In other words, they all have similar human natures, and some aspects are terrifyingly similar.

This is not Yuanyi's first visit to the Monster Bazaar, but because of the different state of mind from the first visit, the two experiences are also completely different.

When I first came to the Youkai Market, Yuanyi who didn’t know the existence of monsters was more confused and curious; but now that he has understood the harm of monsters to human beings, Yuanyi’s mood is not as happy as the first time Curious, but feel heavy because of all kinds of monsters on the street.

These monsters in the market look so enthusiastic at this time, but once they leave here, they are likely to point their ferocious fangs at humans...

Wu Yan didn't know that Yuanyi was worried about the country and the people at a young age, compared to the unscrupulous first time he entered the monster market, this time he deliberately restrained his aura that was too scary for other monsters.After covering himself and Yuanyi with an unnoticed illusion, he naturally blended into it, and began to concentrate on finding the person he wanted to find.

It was the Heavenly Evil Ghosts who were always paying attention to Yuanyi that looked at Yuanyi worriedly, but they were all perfunctorily dismissed by Yuanyi with a smile, and caught up with Wu Yan in front again.

In the end, Wu Yan took Yuan Yi into an izakaya, and the few evil spirits were left outside to wait.

A faint look looked at the fox demon proprietress who came to entertain him with pointed fox ears. Amidst the other party's stiff body and smile, Wu Yan left a sentence to find someone, and then walked towards a box with a clear goal.

Facing the closed shoji door, Wu Yan stretched out her hand and saw a group of playful monsters inside, and the most conspicuous Nuliang slipper among them was the most conspicuous.

Immediately, the monsters inside also looked towards the door.

Wu Yan didn't realize it, her eyes fixed on Nuliang Huapiao, and she smiled sweetly at him.

Nuliang Huapiao was stunned for a moment, then showed joy, put down the plate of wine and said in surprise: "You are back, Wu Yan!"

Wu Yan nodded with a smile, and heard Nuliang Hua Piao call him over to sit with him, and he resolutely brought Yuan Yi over.

Putting the lantern in his hand aside, Wu Yan asked Nuliang Huapiao who was pouring wine for him, "Is there any news about finding someone?"

Nu Liang's hand that was pouring the wine paused, then put down the bottle, with a wry smile on his handsome face, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Yan, my subordinates have tried their best to find... but there is no news."

Hearing this, Wu Yan nodded calmly: "It's just right, I came in a hurry, and I forgot to bring the wine."

One didn't find the news, and the other forgot to promise the good wine, which happened to be half a catty.

Nuliang Huapiao immediately couldn't tell whether he should be happy or disappointed, and said helplessly, "That's not how it works!"

Tangled and depressed for a moment, the handsome big monster gave up entanglement, picked up the wine plate and smiled at Wu Yan, and said boldly: "Let's not mention these, long time no see, let's have a drink together Yan Jun!"

Seeing this, Wu Yan also raised the wine dish in front of her slightly, imitating Nu Liang's smooth-boiled appearance, and drank it with her head up.

The taste of this drink is as light as water when you first drink it, but after you swallow it, it becomes sweet and slightly spicy, which is an indescribably strange taste.

In short, it doesn't taste as good as fruit juice and happy water.

Wu Yan put down the wine plate as usual, her eyes were as clear as ever, and it was not at all obvious that this was his first time drinking.

Nuliang Huapiao admired his performance very much, and waved to let the Xuenv Xueli, who was pouring wine beside him, also fill up Wuyan again, and warmly greeted Wuyan to continue, as if she was not drunk and would not return.

Because she felt that the wine was not good, Wu Yan was not interested in it, so she drank a few dishes with Nuliang Huapiao, and felt that it was enough to give him face, so she used his incense fan to block Xueli from pouring wine.

"I have something to look for you."

He stared at the opposite half leaning on the floor, dressed disheveledly, with a heroic posture, Nu Liang Hua Piao, with a red glow that appeared at some time on his face, which made his too fair little face a little more angry.

"Do you know the sun wheel knife?"

Nuliang Huapiao admired the beauty of the beauty, and casually continued: "Sunlun Saber? Yan Jun wants a weapon?"

Well, a beauty is a beauty, even when she is smaller, she is still so pleasing to the eye, but of course she looks better when she is older.

"It's not me." For some reason, Wu Yan felt a little lazy and couldn't get up, stretched out a hand to support half of his face on the table, he looked at the well-behaved Yuan Yi beside him, and said lazily: "Yes Yuanyi, he needs the Sun Wheel Knife to kill ghosts."

As soon as the word "killing ghosts" was uttered, the entire private room became as quiet as a chicken for a moment.Xueli, who had been kneeling beside Nuliang Huapiao and pouring wine for the two of them meekly, suddenly burst into a rage, and the ground on the table was immediately covered with a thick layer of frost.

"Are you provoking our Nuragumi!"

With a head of white-black hair that faded from top to bottom, and eyes as red as blood circles, the beautiful Xue Nu put her hands on the table and glared at Wu Yan.

The stamina of the sake began to kick in, and Wu Yan, who was a little slow to react, didn't realize Xueli's meaning, and stared blankly at her: "Is there?"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help brushing his face with his sleeve, yawned, and continued to Nuliang, "It's the sun wheel knife. I heard that you can kill ghosts directly with that, and you don't need to let them bask in the sun so much." Trouble...do you even know?"

Seeing Wu Yan who was completely unthreatening, and could even be said to ignore her at all, and was still talking to herself, Xueli was even more angry.

Seeing this, Nuliang pulled Xueli away from the low table with his long arm, and at the same time prevented Xueli from bursting out.

"Yan Jun is talking about the ghost that has appeared in large numbers recently, claims to be a ghost, feeds on humans, and is extremely difficult to kill?"

Nuliang Huapiao understood what Wu Yan meant and fell into deep thought.

"They are indeed arrogant recently. They are not strong but can regenerate continuously. They are difficult opponents."

As soon as these words came out, the condensed atmosphere in the box suddenly eased a bit.

"Yeah, it's very annoying." Wu Yan agreed, and suggested: "So the Sun Knife is necessary, let your subordinates look up the information of the Sun Knife."

Then he can pick the fruit directly.

Wu Yan, who was already slightly drunk, felt that she was extremely smart.

Looking at Wu Yan who was already slightly drunk and didn't know it, Nu Liang Hua Piao responded with a smile, and Fu started pouring wine for him again.

Well, beauties are so pretty when they're drunk.
