[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

During this time, Reiko was a little depressed.

The blue brocade with cherry blossoms had already been made into a kimono by Reiko.

In the past, people always said that she was an ominous person, but Reiko knew that all "ominous" things were brought about by monsters, and had nothing to do with her.

Only this time... Was it really because she went to Zhinu's house that it brought her misfortune?Otherwise, why would Zhinu be killed by robbers as soon as she left?

So, if she continues to live in Seimei's house, will she also bring bad luck here?

"The Zhinu matter has nothing to do with you, it's because I didn't handle it properly." Qingming walked to Lingzi and said lightly.

"What does this have to do with you? Even if you are a very powerful onmyoji, you can't predict the robber's whereabouts, right?" Reiko stretched out her hand to straighten her messy hair, and looked up at Seimei.

A sarcasm flashed in Qingming's eyes: "Do you really think that Zhinu's death was caused by robbers?"

Heian-kyo is the place where the emperor lives. It is heavily guarded, and the city gates are closed every night. How could there be robbers who would dare to kill people in Heian-kyo?Not to mention killing civilians like Zhinu?

"You mean..." Reiko's eyes widened slightly. She has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships since she was a child, and she is by no means a naive little girl living in an ivory tower.Although Reiko had never considered this aspect because of the difference in the times, when Seimei mentioned it, she thought of Ono Sahei's strange behavior at that time.

"That bastard!"

Reiko punched the ground fiercely. If she had thought more carefully and had stronger strength, wouldn't the tragedy of Weaver Girl not have happened?

In this era, nobles are the rulers of the entire Heian capital, and it is unwise to fight against nobles, but there must be things she can do.

"Qingming, I will definitely memorize the book as soon as possible, and then you can teach me onmyoji! You said that onmyoji is a profession that balances the two worlds of yin and yang and serves humans and monsters. I want to help more people like Weaver Girl and Machine Find the same human or monster, next time, I will definitely not let such a thing happen again!"

In the past, Reiko has been very confused. Apart from being dazed at school every day, she would go to the forest to sleep; when she was really bored, she would compete with monsters and take their names away.

She once thought that maybe when she lost sight of the monster one day, she would marry an ordinary man, become an ordinary wife and mother, and then grow old and die.

Just thinking of this kind of life, deep in Reiko's heart, there will always be a strong sense of unwillingness—could it be that those days spent with monsters are just for her to be an ordinary woman?

Zhinu is the first human to say "thank you" and give her a gift after Reiko "meddled her business".After receiving the piece of brocade, Reiko felt the satisfaction she had never had before.

She wants to help humans who are troubled by monsters like her, and also wants to help monsters who are hurt by humans. Although there are some unpleasant guys, most monsters are gentle, and humans are also gentle. .

"Even if you know about Ono Sahei's actions, do you still want to help humans?" Seimei wanted to know what Reiko thought.

"Ono Sahei is certainly a scumbag, but what's wrong with Zhinu and Jixun? If because of a villain, they give up helping other people in need, how hopeless the world will become!" Reiko smiled slightly. After answering Qingming's words, it seems that Qingming's question is very naive.

"You are really a different person, Reiko." Although Seimei doesn't know about Reiko's past, from Reiko's occasional words, he can see that Reiko has always been rejected by humans.Isn't it strange that such a person who has never been treated kindly by mankind is willing to believe in the beauty of the world?

"Ha! Many people say that!" Reiko replied indifferently.

The petals on the tree fell on Reiko's blue kimono, making it difficult to tell whether the petals on the dress were from the cherry blossom tree or the cloth itself.

Although Reiko, who is integrated with the petals, is very beautiful, Seimei feels that cherry blossoms, which are short-lived and fragile, are not suitable for Reiko——Reiko is strong and enthusiastic, and even if she is hurt all over her body, she will continue with a smile People who move forward.

Getting along with such a person will always gain strength without knowing it, Seimei looked at Reiko and thought so.

"Hey, Qingming, it's been so long since I saw you, and you've even settled your lifelong affairs! I thought you'd never find a wife with that ice face!"

A mocking voice came from above, and a man wearing a black hunting suit with loose hair and looking unkempt sat on a big black cat and fell from the sky.

A rare look of helplessness appeared on Qingming's face: "Brother Baoxian, I've said it many times, remember to come in through the gate next time."

When Qingming was learning Yin Yang, he studied under He Mao Zhongxing, and He Mao Baoxian was the eldest son of He Mao Zhongxing and Qingming's senior brother.In terms of yin and yang art, He Mao Zhongxing's talent is not much weaker than Qingming's, but Qingming is good at alchemy and actual combat, while Baoxian focuses on theoretical things such as astronomy and calendar.

Therefore, if Baoxian encounters some entrustment similar to eliminating demons, he will usually try his best to push Qingming to deal with it. Qingming's reputation among Onmyojis is slowly built in this way.

"Don't change the subject. You actually have a woman quietly. I want to see if there is any woman who can stand your character." Baoxian Kamo looked at Reiko curiously, as if wanting to see every strand of hair She said clearly, "She really is a great beauty, as expected of my junior brother, she has vision!"

Reiko looked at Homo Kamo's magnified face and frivolous eyes, and punched him in the face without any warning.

Although Baoxian saw Reiko's punching movement clearly, but he was more inclined to civil servants, and he didn't even have time to open the barrier to protect himself, so he was punched firmly, repeating the tragedy of the imperial court.

"puff!"

Looking at He Mao Baoxian's dumbfounded face, Seimei finally couldn't hold back his previous expression, pressed his fan to his lips, and laughed unceremoniously.

"Well, you Qingming, you still dare to laugh! You dare to have such a pungent woman, one is ice and the other is fire, you are not afraid of being roasted!"

Hearing this, Reiko raised her eyebrows slightly, moved her fingers, and thought about whether to punch again.

"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Baoxian, Reiko and I don't have that kind of relationship, don't affect the girl's reputation." Seimei's explanation saved He Mao Baoxian's face in time.

"That's good. Let me tell you, Qingming, if you want to marry a wife, you have to marry someone as gentle as your sister-in-law..." Baoxian began to persuade Qingming, trying to change his aesthetics.

"Then drive you out of the room to sleep on the roof?" The cat under Baoxian snorted disdainfully, "Also, how long are you going to sit on me?"

"Gentle...like water?" Reiko paused word by word in an extremely suspicious tone, and read out these words.

"Asshole Maoyou, don't tear down my platform! Believe it or not, I won't let you be single forever?"

Then, there was a loud noise as He Mao Baoxian was thrown to the ground again by the cat.

Ka Moo Baoxian, who sat down again, took the ice pack brought by the virgin, and applied it to the half of his face that was swollen by Reiko. The peach blossom eyes that were originally full of infinite charm were squeezed into a slit by the swollen cheeks. , with a rather horrible taste: "Woman, you are too ruthless..."

"My name is Natsume Reiko, you can just call me Reiko. I'm really sorry, because I was often chased by monsters in the past, I would always instinctively fight back when I saw this kind of thing approaching suddenly." Reiko said with some apology, this is not It's a fact that it's flicking Kamo's protection of the constitution. As for whether there are some small emotions of her own, only Reiko knows.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm unlucky this time. Qingming, in order to make up for me, you can't refuse this request." Baoxian is not a small-hearted person, so he exposed the matter to gain some benefits by the way.

"Let's talk about it, which minister's business is it?" This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and Qingming is familiar with it.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with the minister, in fact..." He Mao Baoxian recounted what happened.

Seimei and Reiko looked at each other in dismay after listening to Baoxian's narration.

Help the cat find a mate again?Is this also the job of an onmyoji?

"Let me say it myself."

Mao You, who was as big as a leopard lying beside Bao Xian, said with narrowed eyes.

The cat has smooth and beautiful black fur like silk and satin, and its golden vertical pupils are very bright at night, revealing an unruly wildness.The most characteristic of them is the tail that is forked at the end, which is also the characteristic of cats - two tails.

According to legend, when a cat lives for nine years, it will grow a tail, and after it grows nine tails, it will become a monster called "Nine Lives Cat". come.After growing its ninth tail, Jiumingmao can transform into a human being by living another nine years, that is, "Maoyou".

"The nine-life cat I found is about to become a cat, and now it can turn into a half-human half-demon appearance. Ah, that soft waist, cute pads, provocative cat tail, and playful fangs , How charming! I just glanced at it from a distance, and I fell into it.” The cat talked again, and then entered the self-fantasy.

"Well... In short, the other party doesn't recognize you yet, so you unilaterally regard it as your future spouse?" Xiao Bai couldn't help but complain.

Maoyou's golden pupils glanced at Xiaobai disdainfully: "Does a puppy with two tails dare to question the great Maoyou?"

"Xiaobai is a fox, a fox!"

……

After another round of commotion, the topic returned to the cat again, and it was Reiko who spoke first: "Then how can you be sure that the nine-lived cat is willing to be your spouse?"

"There is no second cat in Heian-kyo. Isn't it a matter of course that it takes a fancy to me? Besides, didn't I ask you to bring it back and develop a relationship with me?" The cat gave Reiko an idiot-like expression again.

Reiko clenched her fist silently, and made another note for the cat.

"You asked me to adopt the Nine-Life Cat as a Shikigami, and then leave it here so that you can come and find it conveniently, but wouldn't it be better for Senior Brother Baoxian to do this kind of thing?" Qingming asked the second question.

The cat raised its head proudly again: "That's my territory, there is absolutely no need for a second cat."

"So, you want to come to Qingming to find Jiumingmao to solve your physical needs when you need it, and pat your butt and leave when you don't need it?" Reiko's tone gradually became unfriendly.

"Isn't this a matter of course? It's the nature of cats."

Male cats will seek out female cats for intercourse when they are in heat.match, pay.After mating, they will leave, and then the mother cat will raise the children alone.Therefore, Maoyou, who is still a cat at heart, doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with his behavior.

Reiko stared at the cat for a while, then smiled: "Okay!"

They will bring the Nine-Life Cat back, but as long as she, Natsume Reiko, is still alive, they will never let the cat get close to the Nine-Life Cat again.

So, wake up, scumbag!
