In this way, Gu Yu temporarily settled down in the mansion of this legendary great Onmyoji.

However, due to her poor physical condition, she has been sleeping for most of the time these days.He spends very little time awake, and sometimes even falls asleep while talking.

Gu Yu who fell asleep was dreaming again.

She dreamed that she was standing in a dark mountain forest.

Surrounded by towering trees that block out the sun, no matter where you look, there is no way out.

Logically speaking, it should be a scene that would make people feel uneasy, but Gu Yu didn't feel that way.

Although it was very mysterious, she always felt that she could vaguely feel the friendliness of this mountain forest to her.

——Even if it is not friendly, it can at least be described as gentle.

So, the girl who had no goal and could not see a way out simply closed her eyes and lay down on the thick grass under her feet.

The light is dim, the surrounding temperature is neither cold nor hot, and the turf under him is fluffy and comfortable... In fact, there is nothing wrong with sleeping in a dream.

It seemed that the sound of a large bird flying by suddenly sounded.

Fluttering, from one side, to the other.

"Hey, get up and let's play together!" The immature voice said in a coquettish tone.

After a few seconds, seeing that Gu Yu didn't respond, the voice sounded again.

"Get up quickly! Get up-bed-la!"

Gu Yu stretched her waist:

"The weather is so nice, why don't we take a nap together?"

Although sleeping in a dream seems to be a ridiculous thing, but if you feel comfortable, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Don't sleep, come and play with me!"

The boy's voice sounded again accompanied by the sound of wings flapping.

This time, the sound seemed to be closer.

But when Gu Yu opened his eyes, the surroundings were still the same, and there was no shadow of the voice owner.

"But you don't let me see you, how can we play together?"

"—"

The real Gu Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

"You're awake, do you want a drink?"

The boy with fluffy natural curly short hair immediately noticed Gu Yu who opened his eyes, and asked softly.

The girl lying on her back on the quilt blinked and stared at the wooden ceiling above in a daze——what did the child in the dream say in the end?

"Master? What's wrong?"

The master who usually always responded quickly did not answer today, and the little boy leaned in front of her worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about the dream I just had."

Gu Yu raised his hand and rubbed the boy's fluffy and soft hair like animal fur.

The teenager who got a 'head-touching kill' was obviously relieved, and smiled softly:

"If only it were a happy dream."

My favorite master, if only I felt happy in my dream.

"Today is retreating to Hepingye, what about the others?"

Gu Yu, who sat up with the help of two short knives, turned his head to look, but did not see the other people in the room.

"Brother Yaoken and Brother Nyuwei went to find the master Onmyoji." Because of what Abe Seimei said before, the short knife boy was reluctant to even mention his name, "The words of Your Excellency Horikawa are in the yard." Dry the quilt."

"The quilt smells like sunshine after it's been dried, and the owner will feel more comfortable covering it up...that's it."

They can't do more things for the master, and now they can only make the master feel more comfortable through such small things.

"Everyone is so capable." The girl let out a heartfelt exclamation, then raised her arm that was still weak and rubbed her cheek, "I also want to be stronger."

I am in good spirits, and my strength has recovered a lot. It is time to cheer up and meet the famous onmyoji——Abe Seimei-sama.

As the master——she is the one who will shelter them from the wind and rain and make a fortune in the world!

With this in mind, Gu Yu once again sat in front of Abe Seimei across the screen.

"You look fine."

"Thanks to you, I took a good rest today." Gu Yu replied with a smile, "Now I can finally have a good chat with you."

"Then, let me be more straightforward—what is your reason for taking us in?"

Although she is not "good" without a reason, even if she has not felt any malice so far, she doesn't think that "Abe Seimei" will be such a "good person".

Otherwise, he wouldn't just leave her, a person who is in urgent need of help, indifferent.But judging from the fact that he didn't drive them out directly, things can still be discussed after all.

"Well... since you said that, I'd better be more blunt." The man behind the screen gave a rare and straightforward answer, "Three things, if you can help me, I will help you." How about you take care of your body?"

"...If you want my children to go with you, please don't say it."

Although he didn't think the other party would bring up this topic again, just in case, Gu Yu brought it up first.

"Although I really want to say that, but since you brought it up...then I have no choice but to give up." The young man sighed in a half-true way.

"Then... the first thing is to borrow some of your blood to help my apprentice adjust the yin and yang energy in his body."

"No problem." Gu Yu agreed very simply.

"The second thing... There is a very cute princess named Fujihime in Minister Zuo's family. For some reason, she needs to leave Heian-kyo temporarily and live in a certain villa in the suburbs."

"Therefore, I also hope that you can take your Fusangshen and move to this annex."

Although he didn't explain what he was going to do, Gu Yu, who had many trading experiences, immediately understood his intentions.

"That is to say, do you want us to protect Princess Fujihime?"

"That's roughly the case—of course, you won't suffer a loss. The mountain spring behind the annex under the name of Minister Zuo is also very beneficial to you."

"The third last thing... I don't know if you have noticed the unclean atmosphere surrounding the entire Heian-kyo?"

"..."

***

When heading to the annex of the Left Minister's house, Gu Yu was still thinking about what Abe Seimei said.

"Ping'an capital is shrouded in unclean air, and the four gods guarding the four directions have been stolen one after another. In response to this, the gods sent down instructions that a "son of god" will appear, and she will snatch back the four gods and summon the dragon god, and restore peace to Ping'an capital. "

"Obviously knowing that something is causing trouble, but waiting for others to solve it...Gods are really capricious. But even if it is God's instruction, as a creature living in this huge capital city, you can't just do everything like this. If you don’t do it, just wait for that ‘Son of God’ to come and save you—are you right?”

The young man who hid his true face behind the screen said this to Gu Yu.

"I always feel that the gain outweighs the loss."

Gu Yu shook his head.

Although it is not the first time to cooperate with anyone, but this time there is a special feeling of 'losing'.

"Eh?"

The boy with a long strand of dull hair on his head turned his head when he heard Gu Yu's words.

"What's not worth the loss?"

"I always feel that it's too hasty to promise him three things like this." The girl pursed her lips and started the self-reflection mode.

Natsuo Toshiro laughed, and he patted the obviously gloomy young master. "The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge - there is always a way. And for us, nothing is more important than getting the master back to health."

"Master." Kunihiro Horikawa, who was sitting outside the bullock cart, opened the curtain and poked his head in: "The annex of Minister Zuo's house has arrived."

When Gu Yu got out of the car, she immediately saw the princess 'Teng Ji' standing at the door to greet her.

That is a girl who is more beautiful than many modern child stars.She doesn't look more than ten years old on the outside, but she is very temperamental, and her every move is as smooth and elegant as flowing clouds and flowing water.

"It's called Fujihime, the daughter of the Minister of the Left. You have already heard from Mr. Abe Seimei about your purpose of coming here. Please treat this place as if it were your own home."

The young girl greeted Gu Yu, a 'guest' who was said to have come from afar, with the air of a host.

In order not to put too much burden on Fujihime, a young child, Abe Seimei did not tell her the real purpose of Gu Yu's visit, but only said that Gu Yu was his honored guest, and because of his health, he wanted to borrow the spring water from the mountain behind the annex, so he came here to rest .

No matter how stable she looks, Fujihime is still just a child full of curiosity about many things.Under the circumstances that Gu Yu intended to express his kindness, he sat with her in the corridor drinking tea and eating snacks in less than a day.

Yakuken Toshiro, who has a great sense of responsibility, took Horikawa Kunihiro, who was also restless, to inspect around.

Hirano Fujishiro stayed in the room to tidy up the things brought by the master—although there was a dedicated maid in the annex, he still felt that tidying up by himself would be more at ease.

Therefore, at this time, the only ones accompanying the master who was sitting with Fujihime in the corridor were Wuhutai and Nanao Toshiro.

The five cubs from the Five Tigers Retirement were lying on Gu Yu's body.

The little tiger with a ribbon around its neck jumped onto Gu Yu's lap first, grabbed Gu Yu's lap carelessly, and pushed the other brothers who wanted to run up.

The one with the ribbon on its tail was even accidentally pushed over.

"It's so cute." Fujiji stared intently at the little tigers who were fighting wits and courage beside Gu Yu.Small exclamations from time to time for their spiritual moves.

Gu Yu reached out and picked up the little tiger that had stumbled and was a little dizzy.Hold it up in front of Fujihime:

"Come on, say hello to Princess Fujihime."

The little tiger opened his mouth and let out a whining sound, as if he was really saying hello.

"Master likes Princess Fujihime very much."

When he happened to walk into the yard, Horikawa Kunihiro sighed when he saw this scene.

"...Master has always wanted to have a younger sister. Probably found the feeling of being an older sister in Princess Fujihime."

Yaken Toshiro supported his body with one hand, and smiled.

"Compared to this... You have noticed it too."

"Well, are they all careless guys, or did they not mean to hide their tracks?" The young man who was asked turned his head, looked at a corner of the yard, and smiled slightly.
