[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

This is a room with only a small skylight inside. Except that the servants will deliver meals at a fixed time, and Miyake comes in with a smiling face to pluck feathers, the rest of the time is tightly closed.

That palm-sized skylight became the only connection between boys and girls and the outside world.

Tonight's night is fairly clear, a wisp of silver gray shines through the skylight, reflecting a small square on the ground.If the weather is cloudy and rainy, boys and girls can only hug each other tightly in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, and spend that difficult night shivering.

The virgin lowered her bare wings and leaned against the virgin boy weakly, her eyes filled with numbness of resignation.

She didn't know how long she had been here, maybe a month, maybe a year, or maybe ten years.She only knew that when the feathers grew, Miyake would use the most cruel method to pluck them one by one, and then admired the cry of the virgin and the eyes of the virgin full of hatred and anger .

Obviously you can use scissors, can't you?Obviously, cutting feathers with scissors will grow faster, right?Why use such a cruel way?

"Brother, we can't go out again, right?" The virgin's voice no longer had the vitality, and the long-term crying made her voice low and hoarse.

The virgin boy wanted to touch the virgin girl's head, but after looking at his own bare wings, he finally let go of this idea: "I will go out, I will."

"I don't believe it, my brother has said this countless times." The virgin wanted to give the boy a cheerful smile like before, but after trying to hook the corners of her mouth, she found that the corners of her mouth became very heavy. , she no longer had the strength to manipulate the expression on her face into a smile.

The formation encountered when stepping into this house sealed all the monster power of the boys and girls. Now they are like ordinary human children, locked in this cell by a thin chain, and there is no way out. ability.

"Save your energy and go to sleep, at least you are safe until the feathers grow again." Zashiki Doji, who was sitting in the corner with his knees hugged, said in an almost indifferent tone.

Zashiki warji is a youkai who was imprisoned here before the arrival of boys and girls.

It is said that good luck will happen in the house where Zashiki Doji stays.

The Miyake father and son built a rich family business by relying on the "luck" brought by Zashiki Doji.

However, wealth brings only intensified greed. One Zashiki warji can bring so much good luck, so what if there are more Zashiki warji?

Therefore, the boy did not show any fear of monsters from the beginning to the end, and would show wolf-like eyes after discovering the special abilities of boys and girls.

Because, in his impression, the "monster" was their "trophy"!

"It's so cold." Hearing Zashiki Warji's words, the virgin complained in a low voice.

"It's just getting used to it." Zashiki Doji sighed, "Speaking of which, you are indeed more unlucky than me. As long as I stay in this house, I can let those two bastards enjoy good luck; and you must use something as a exchange."

This is undoubtedly a self-deprecating.

Zashiki Doji has been captured and imprisoned by humans continuously since birth.Jin, Miyake wasn't the first human to treat him like that, and certainly won't be the last.

"Why are we such monsters? We are so weak and powerless. If we had great power, we could kill those humans directly."

"All human beings are greedy and disgusting guys. It would be great if one day we could kill all human beings."

Hearing Zashiki Warji's words, the virgin trembled twice in the virgin boy's arms.Despite being treated like this, the virgin felt that she still had no way to kill.

The boy rubbed the girl's head to comfort him, lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, in a cloudy and rainy weather, the door opened again.

A girl curled up in a huge bamboo knot was brought into this room, a chain was looped around the girl's neck, and then locked with a "click".

"What are you doing? Didn't you tell me that the flute player is here?" The girl shouted in panic, just like a virgin who just came here.

A wretched servant couldn't help touching the girl's beautiful face, but was kicked to the ground by Miyake who came in afterwards: "This is the stunner I found, not something trash like you can move."

Miyake had the usual kind smile on his face, and he looked at the girl appreciatively: "Your name is Kaguya Hime, right? It's really a good name. Don't worry, among those nobles in the big cities, which one can't?" Playing the flute? I will give you to them in exchange for power and glory."

There are always some people who never know how to be satisfied.

After having enough wealth, Miyake wants to gain more power.Maybe when he has enough power one day, he will pursue something new.

So there was a new member in the room.

Kaguya Hime is a small piece of bamboo living in the bamboo forest. In the long years, there is always such a gentle flute sound that accompanies her to sleep and wakes her up again.

But one day, the flute sound suddenly disappeared.

In order to find that moving voice again, Kaguya Hime came to the human world, and was tricked here by Miyake.

"Are you all locked up? How can this be? It's too much!" Kaguya Ji covered her mouth and looked at the bald wings of the boys and girls, which were still oozing blood, with a look of unbearable expression.

The virgin looked at Kaguya Hime's sincere eyes, squirmed her mouth twice, and wanted to say "I'm fine", but in the end she didn't say anything.

How could it be all right?How could it be all right!Obviously, even the tears have been cried dry.

The treatment Kaguya Ji received was completely different from that of boys and girls. She enjoyed exquisite food every day, and every day there would be maids to help Kaguya Ji dress up beautifully.

Perhaps Kaguya Hime has a special purpose for Miyake, or Miyake wants to make the monsters in this cell jealous of each other.

Some people always like to put that ugly feeling on others, and think that others are as ugly as themselves.

After the food delivery person left, Kaguya Hime would distribute the rich food to the Zashiki Boys and Boys and Girls, and they would gradually talk about their own stories and get to know each other better.

"Your feathers have grown, so beautiful!"

When Kaguya Hime admired those relatively soft fluffs like this, even the boy boy couldn't help showing a look of fear.

When Kaguya Ji arrived, the boys and girls had just been plucked, so she hadn't seen that extremely cruel scene.

Boys and girls would rather, they never had the wings they were once so proud of.

New feathers grow and are plucked; new feathers grow and are plucked again...

Boys and girls thought they would spend the rest of their days in this way.

If anyone can get them out...no matter who, as long as they can get them out...they are willing to give their all.

Boys and girls pray like this every day.

And then that day, one sunny afternoon, did come.

A white-haired young man wearing a blue safari suit, a black hat, and holding a fan smashed the solid prison door with a green dragon, and broke in with sunshine all over his body.

The boy who had become an adult and Miyake, who could no longer laugh, were thrown to the ground by the dragon, showing a look of embarrassment that boys and girls had never seen before.

The white-haired young man glanced at the dark cell, and after pausing for a few seconds on the boys and girls, he showed an extremely disgusted look at the Miyake father and son: "I am Abe Seimei, the onmyoji, and I will remove the restraints on you. and the chains, and then you go away."

Onmyoji, Seimei Abe.

When they heard such a name, boys and girls knew that they might never forget the four words "Abe Seimei" for the rest of their lives.

Qingming used his finger as a brush in the air, drew mysterious runes one by one and then punched them into the bodies of boys and girls. Something shattered instantly, and then the long-lost power surged up.

An air blade composed of spiritual power slashed across their necks, and the chain was immediately cut neatly into a plane, and then fell to the ground.

They are free.

The virgin looked at the chains on the ground stupidly, hugged the boy and cried, it seemed that the dry tears returned to the girl's body along with the demon power, and the boy thought confusedly while hugging the girl: They are free , but where can they go?

"I want to go back to the bamboo forest where I was born and raised. Maybe that moving voice will continue to appear in the bamboo forest." Kaguya Ji said after thanking Qingming.

"I can go wherever I want, anyway, I don't want to enter the world of humans again." Zashiki Doji doesn't trust any humans, including Abe Seimei who saved him.

So, should he also take his sister to a place far away from humans?

After Kaguya Hime and Zashiki Warji left, the boys and girls still sat there blankly.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Abe Seimei's stern breath softened a little after meeting the gazes of boys and girls.

"Can I... follow Master Qingming?" the virgin said timidly.

"Virgin!" The virgin shouted uncontrollably, why did my sister choose to believe in a human being after being tortured for so long!

"I made an oath, if someone comes to save us, I will definitely repay him. And... Lord Seimei is not a bad person."

Seimei found all this very interesting.

He was obviously trembling with fear, but he kept saying that he wanted to follow him.Such a simple monster, no wonder it ended up in such a field.

All monsters, as long as they pretend to be vicious and roar twice in front of humans, they will kneel down in front of the onmyoji, and ask for their help.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, this is human beings.

"How do you know I'm not a bad person?" Qingming narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the virgin.

"I don't want to hate humans, I really don't want to!" The virgin cried again, "If I escape like this, these days will haunt me forever like a nightmare. After that, I will definitely hate humans, I can't help it Go kill them...I don't want to become like this, so, I want to believe again...for the last time!"

Virgins are very simple, but simple people are often more able to see the essence of things.

When hatred dominates the mind, then the person is left with nothing but emptiness.

Seimei tapped his palms rhythmically with his fan, which was a movement he would unconsciously make when he was thinking about a problem.

"I just need two gatekeepers. If you are willing, you can sign a contract and be my shikigami. Of course, if you want to leave one day, I will let you go."

Qingming stretched out his hand to the boys and girls, waiting for their choice.

The virgin's fluffy wings raised and lowered, raised again, and lowered again.After repeating it several times, he put it into Seimei's palm tremblingly.

The boy on the side was vigilant against Seimei, and after confirming that Seimei was not in danger, he covered his wings over the wings of the virgin.

The virgin's trembling gradually stopped, and she felt a very warm breath.

The elder brother's wings are very warm, Mr. Qingming's palm is very warm, and the sun outside is also very warm.

"In this way, my brother and I have become Lord Seimei's shikigami until now." The maiden had escaped from the nightmare and leaned quietly on Reiko.

"Master Seimei is a good person, and Reiko-sama is also a good person. There are also Kamo Hosen-sama, Ashiya Michiman-sama...they are all good people. It's really good that they didn't hate human beings because of those one or two bad guys. Because That way, I won't be able to meet you."

Lingzi hugged the virgin gently, never thought that the virgin who has always been heartless would have such a past.

"Well, it is indeed a very happy thing that we can meet."

The virgin boy listened quietly to the virgin's story outside, the sun cast a deep shadow on his body.

The story of the virgin actually has a follow-up.

It was still the cell, but the prisoners in the cell were replaced by Miyake and his son.

The virgin boy stood in front of the prison cell, his expression on his face was dark and unclear.

Qingming threw a knife at the boy's feet: "This is a blunt knife. If you want to use this knife to cut off a person's flesh piece by piece, you have to repeatedly use force. That kind of pain, absolutely Much stronger than plucking out every feather."

"Why did you give me this?" The expression on the boy's face was completely unmatched for his age.

"I just think you need it. Of course, it's up to you to choose whether you need it or not." Qingming said calmly, as if what he was talking about with the boy was not how to brutally kill a person, but what to have for breakfast tomorrow. .

"Master Qingming is also a human being, won't this kind of behavior make you feel uncomfortable?" The boy said with a low eyebrow, but there was a thorn in his words.

Qingming laughed, ironically: "Human? The more such humans die, the more comfortable I will feel."

Tong Nan felt that he was meeting Qingming for the first time, and he began to wonder if it was really right for him and his sister to sign a contract with this person?

Qingming clearly saw Tong Nan's doubts: "I said, you can leave at any time."

The boy remembered how the girl looked very relieved after she signed the contract, pulling Seimei by the hem of her clothes.

Forget it, as long as my sister likes it, it doesn't matter.

The boy walked into the cell with a knife, and the Miyake father and son let out a heart-piercing cry that only the boy could hear in the barrier Seimei set up.

That sound continued all night.

Yao Dao Ji opened the bamboo curtain and came out: "I'll drive the car for you."

The boy handed the rope to Yaodao Ji, opened the curtain, and caught the girl who threw herself into his arms.

"Brother, what do you think happened to those bad guys in the end?"

"...Who knows."
