[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

"Brother, do you think Lord Qingming is a little strange recently?" The girl looked at Qingming's back with a confused face, and whispered while shaking the boy's wings.

"Which aspect are you referring to?" If it is referring to the aspect of personality, Seimei-sama has indeed smiled a lot more recently than before, and he rarely shows that terrifying expression anymore.

"I always feel that Master Qingming's hair... huh?" Before the girl could finish her sentence, the boy covered her mouth.

The virgin boy bowed respectfully to Seimei who was looking over here, and then quickly dragged the virgin girl away from the courtyard.

Seimei noticed the weird expression on the boy who seemed to be trying to hold back his laughter, stroked the uneven hair on the back of his head, and sighed silently—how could he have believed that Reiko's hair-cutting skills were very superb? ?

That was what happened when he returned to the garden after the battle with Michizane Sugawara.

Reiko looked at Seimei who had changed her clothes again and finished grooming, and took out a pair of scissors from the room, with a rather excited expression on her face: "Come here, I'll help you cut off the scorched hair."

For some reason, seeing Reiko's expression, Seimei had a very ominous premonition.He carefully looked at Reiko's fairly neat long hair, and he was slightly relieved.

Shouldn't be too bad, right?

Seimei, who had promised Reiko to cut his hair in advance, obediently sat under the cherry blossom tree, his freshly washed hair was still dripping with water.The water droplets slowly flowed down Seimei's neck, soaking his collar.

"That's not acceptable!" Reiko brought a towel from somewhere, put it under Qingming's hair, and helped Qingming wipe her hair carefully.

In fact, when Reiko stayed at the Tahara couple's house, she never took the initiative to wipe her hair.Every time after washing her hair, Reiko would sit by the bed, look at the stars, and let the evening wind dry her hair.

But for some reason, seeing Seimei's dripping hair, the scene of Mrs. Tahara wiping her daughter Minako's hair couldn't help appearing in her mind.

It was an extremely warm scene that she had always envied.

Seimei felt Reiko's slender fingers pass through her hair, and gently rubbed her long hair with a dry towel to absorb the moisture on it, and the coolness around her neck was also replaced by warmth.

His brows and eyes could not help softening: "White hair, don't you find it strange?"

"How could it be? It's such a beautiful color." Reiko thought of Madara's soft white fur, and sure enough, sleeping on Madara was the most comfortable. When will Xiaobai grow so big?

Seimei, who perfectly misunderstood Reiko's meaning, looked more gentle: "Is Reiko drying her hair like this every time she washes her hair?"

"Well~ I don't care about such things." Reiko paused while wiping her hair. After she came here, when she was in a good mood, she would sit by the window and wait for her hair to dry as before. Sleep, where do you pay so much attention?

Although Reiko has a good life here, and no one will reject her, but for Reiko, the Heian era is still not her era, and there is no real home here-although "home" is something that Reiko has never seen before. Never had one since I can remember.It's just that in the dead of night, even Reiko will inevitably feel lonely.

No matter how careful Seimei was, he might not be able to notice Reiko's subtle mood.

Seimei turned her head slightly, and saw the flash of loneliness on Reiko's face. No matter how strong Reiko was on the surface, she was only a 17-year-old girl.

"After you wash your hair, ask me to dry it for you. Do you hear me? No... Let the virgins keep an eye on you. If you ask me to come to me, you probably won't come." After two months Seimei got to know Reiko's character more or less.

Reiko is a very contradictory person. She dares to pinch her face unscrupulously when she gets angry, but she is also cautious about some small things, for fear of causing a little trouble to others.

What kind of experience has formed Reiko's character?Seimei felt that she felt sorry for Reiko.

Reiko didn't agree to Seimei's proposal, but she didn't refuse, but as long as she looked at Reiko's face at this moment, she would know how happy she was.

It's great that she also met someone who was willing to wipe her hair for her.

Carefully drying wet hair, although this is a trivial thing, but how many people in this world are willing to do this?

It must be a very, very happy thing to meet someone who is willing to wipe your hair for you, and you are willing to wipe his hair for him.

"Crack", "Click".

Strands of burnt white hair kept falling under Reiko's scissors, slowly covering the courtyard with an extremely thin layer of white, just like light snow falling in winter.

Seimei's hair feels good to the touch, and usually hangs docilely on the back of her head, as smooth as silk.Reiko observed closely at this time and found that such long hair really did not have any split ends. This is an era when there is no shampoo, which is really enviable.

"Crack", "Click".

Reiko was still waving the scissors, but Seimei gradually felt that something was wrong—there were not many hairs cut by lightning, why was there so much more hair cut than imagined?

"Reiko, are you alright?" Seimei couldn't help asking.

"Just finish cutting the ones on the top of the head." Reiko replied casually, her hands quickened again.

overhead?

The bad premonition in Qingming's heart became stronger.

"It's over!" Reiko walked around Seimei, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction.

Qingming was a little stiff and raised his hand to touch his hair, and then felt the two hairs on the top of his head.

People in later generations have a special name for this kind of hair, which is called dull hair.

"Because the scorched places are of different heights, it took a while to pick them out one by one and cut them all off." Reiko explained.

Qingming came to the pond at the back of the courtyard, and saw his long and short hair through the reflection of the water.

He felt that Reiko would never let Reiko cut his hair again.

So, after Seimei tied up her hair according to the previous method, some hairs that were too short to be tied up stood up and fell behind her head like a hedgehog, which looked extremely funny.

At this time, Qingming was extremely thankful that he still wore a hat on his head, otherwise it would have been even worse.

Therefore, apart from going to teach Kagura every day, Seimei tries not to go out if she can.Usually, boys and girls are sent to inquire about nearby monsters to see if there are any monsters suitable for being shikigami.

But when you don't want trouble, trouble will find you.

"Master Qingming, there is a monk holding a Zen stick outside who wants to see you." The virgin flew over to convey the news of the visitor to Qingming.

monk?Could it be...

"Let him in." Qingming held the newly replaced fan and secretly prayed that it would not be the person he thought.

"Qingming Qingming, long time no see, do you miss me?" A monk wearing a bamboo hat and holding a Zen stick rushed towards Qingming in an extremely familiar tone.

Seimei immediately distanced herself from the monk: "Michiman Ashiya, I don't know you well."

"It's really sad to say such cruel words." Ashiya Michizane squatted on the ground, pretending to wipe his tears.

Reiko, who was studying Seimei's Protestant art of enchantment, looked at Michimitsu Ashiya curiously.

Ashiya Michimitsu looks to be about the same age as Seimei, in his early twenties. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there would be such a handsome monk in this world.

When Reiko was looking at Doman, Doman was also observing Reiko, but for some reason, he looked at him with a very heartbroken expression: "I can't believe it, Seimei, the one you like is a woman!"

Reiko was at a loss, isn't it normal for Seimei to like women?

"Master Reiko, this Master Daoman seems to have been...pursuing Master Seimei, so he may do some very strange actions." Xiaobai looked unbearable.

"Uh..." Even Reiko would be speechless in the face of such a monk.

"Although I seem to be a monk, I am also an onmyoji. The result of divination tells me that the only person who is qualified to stand on the same level as me is you—Abe Seimei! So, even if you like It's a woman, and the fate between me and you cannot be broken." Michimitsu Ashiya narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yes, just like Ashiya Doman met Abe Seimei for the first time, when Abe Seimei went to Ashiya Doman for the first time, he knew that this person would become his old enemy in the future-this is the relationship among top onmyojis. A wonderful induction.

And the fact is also true. In history, even though Ashiya Michimitsu is far less famous than Abe Seimei, he is indeed the only existence that can compete with Seimei.

And destined enemies sometimes become sympathetic friends.

"Let's get down to business, Ashiya Michimitsu." Naturally, Seimei would not be like Xiaobai, naively thinking that Ashiya Michimitsu was really pursuing him, and this was just a means of disguising himself.

"It's really boring." Ashiya Michimitsu quickly restrained his expression and became serious, "I heard Seimei that you are looking for a monster called 'Hazy Car' recently. I know where it is."

"Your conditions." Qingming knew that Ashiya Michiman would not tell him the news in vain.

"At the Qijiao Mountain to the west of Ping'an Jing, a human being forged a demon sword there. I want to forge all the information of the demon sword."

Seimei knew that Ashiya Domitsu had been trying to create a sword specially used to kill monsters. It was said that that kind of sword could only hurt monsters, but it was ineffective against humans, so it was understandable that Domitsu was interested in those materials.

only……

"Why don't you go find it yourself?" Qingming was puzzled.

"because……"

Ashiya Michimitsu mouthed a few words to Seimei that he absolutely couldn't ignore, and those words were - Kusanagi Sword!

The author has something to say:

ps: Ashiya Michimitsu adopted the image of Hidemoto Hanakain in "The Grandson of the Slicker", because the setting of Hidemoto Hanakain is the reincarnation of Michimitsu Ashiya.Therefore, the image of Ashiya Michimitsu here is very different from that in the novel "Onmyoji" ps2: As for Ashiya Michimitsu's pursuit of Seimei, there is indeed such a legend in history, and Baidu Encyclopedia describes it as: [Ashiya Michimitsu loves Abe Seimei very much , Many times wanted to take it as his own but failed. ]
