[Comprehensive] Notes on Cat Raising by Benmaru

Qian Xun soon understood why the drug seller told her to keep the truth in mind, because in this dream woven from the heart, it really seemed to hide countless sugar-coated shells.

She watched the life trajectory built according to her heart with cold eyes, and suddenly felt a little boring.

Unable to follow the planned route, even her shortcomings are her strengths.Therefore, Chihiro felt bored in this dream where she could completely imagine what would happen next, and she suddenly remembered what Tsurumaru often said.

"Life still needs some shocks. If there are all predictable things, the heart will die first."

Only now did she feel that this sentence was unexpectedly reasonable. She looked at the deadly costume on her body, and looked at the somewhat fake blue sky above Jingling Court, and gave a soft snort.

Leaving aside the issue of whether the unchanging life in front of her is a bit boring, the fact that the Soul Sealing Stone, which was originally used to strengthen the spirit body, wants to use her as a host makes her feel very angry.

It's better to wake up quickly and have a good and friendly communication with the things in my body.

She kept chanting silently like a repeater until she felt a little tired.

Then, as if he finally understood that the sugar-coated cannonballs in front of him could not impress Chihiro, the familiar Jinglingting slowly faded away, and then, under the towering buildings that sprung up like mushrooms after rain, there was a bustling street scene.

Haven't given up yet... Chihiro sighed secretly in her heart, she walked forward at a leisurely pace with the bell given to her by the drug seller in her hand, as long as she had this bell, she would not be completely overwhelmed by the dream. devour.

It must have just rained, and there were faint traces of dampness after the misty rain on the gray ancient building. Her eyes flicked past the pedestrians, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This is the Heian era.

What a careless thought, she sighed, but her forward steps stopped involuntarily. Meeting old friends is probably something that makes people feel happy, but meeting in a dream makes people feel a little bit I have a headache.

She looked down at the wooden clogs under her feet. The white socks were splashed with water at some point, and the shallow water marks were still wet.

She raised her hand and tugged at the neckline, and finally walked towards the Luocheng Gate with a feeling that she should always be unable to escape.

Although she had guessed what she would meet, she was still taken aback when she saw Abe Seimei in a white hunting suit in front of Luocheng Gate.

The onmyoji who tapped his palm lightly with the bat fan showed a smile on his lips, and he opened the bat fan to cover the corners of his lips.

"It's been a long time, Chihiro, do you want to eat sweetfish at my house?"

Chihiro really wants to go, but when chatting with Abe Seimei, no matter whether he understands what the other party is saying or not, he can always chat from dawn to late night.At that time, maybe you really can't leave.

She heaved a long sigh, the moist water vapor accumulated in the air stained her body, she pulled the outermost Tang clothes with some discomfort, and there seemed to be a little melancholy hidden in her eyebrows and eyes.

"Let's forget it, I'm really tired from today, I'd better wait until next time to eat sweetfish."

She also has a lot of things she wants to talk to Abe Seimei. During those days when she lived in Abe’s house, although she seemed to be sitting on the porch every day to bully Yuan Boya, and occasionally went to the street to see which nobles encountered ghosts and monsters again, but she was very happy. interesting.

She still remembers the stars in the night sky in Heian-kyo, and the chirping of summer insects from the desolate courtyard that was overgrown with weeds.

She took a deep breath, like when she talked to Abe Seimei countless times, showing a slightly complaining look, "Anyway, as long as I chat with you, I will definitely talk about curses, right?"

Abe Seimei's expression is gentle, his slightly raised eyes seem to have a slightly sly look, the elegant son of the white fox, his white hunting clothes look very bright under the dark Luocheng gate.

Even though she knew that this was a dream, Chihiro's mood improved a little. "Anyway, I know the coordinates of Heian-kyo. Next time I want to drink with you, I just need to communicate with the government."

Although she said it lightly, if the government is here at this moment, she will definitely complain endlessly. After all, this young lady who advocates the settlement of disputes by force will definitely not talk to them calmly, let alone when they say no. Give up neatly.

The Government of Time was unaware of the impending catastrophe, but Abe Seimei in front of him sighed slightly as if he had already glimpsed the future.

"Then, let's talk about it another day." He didn't say anything else, which surprised Chihiro, but she soon understood that even if it was a dream created to keep herself behind, the dream in the dream But people are still shaped according to the image in their memory.

Abe Seimei would not be obsessed with her refusal, he would just smile calmly, and then watch her leave with eyes that he would never understand.

She felt inexplicably relieved.

So she smiled slightly, her blue eyes were as clear as the sky, she took a step forward, the corners of the dark Tang clothes fluttered with her movements, and in the corner of her vision, the other party's snow-white hunting clothes were dyed with warm sun. color.

She suddenly had an extremely absurd idea, as if at this moment, she abandoned the Zanpakuto she had been obsessed with and the past that made her a little bit reluctant, and chose the Honmaru with the Qushui Red Bridge.

Is that right?

Her heart suddenly suffocated, she felt that she had just chosen the present world, as long as she could escape from the dream, it didn't seem to matter where the exit of the present world was.

But is this really the case?

At this moment, she had doubts about her choice.

The warm light of the sun was bright and dazzling, she couldn't help closing her eyes, the images deep in her memory quickly disappeared, and her mind went blank for a moment.

The golden light of the Soul-Sealing Stone seemed to flash before her eyes, and then, the golden light exploded in an instant, and fragments of the stone fell down one after another.

She felt a huge spiritual power rushing into her body in an instant, and then, this spiritual power softened in an instant, flowing slowly to the limbs like warm water...

Chihiro slept for a long time, and when she woke up, the bright sky had already darkened slightly. She looked at the empty house except for the drug seller, and felt a certain kind of surprise.

She had expected everyone else to be there.

Probably seeing Qianxun's doubts, the drug seller slightly lowered his head, "I told them to go out first, because I want the Soul Sealing Stone to reintegrate with you, and a place with an open environment is safer."

"Oh..." Chihiro nodded, she blinked, and then realized something was wrong "Wait? Are you saying that the stone has already fused with me?"

Yaolang nodded, thinking that Chihiro was worried about something, and he explained, "Your spirit body doesn't look very stable. If you don't have the Soul-Sealing Stone, there is a danger of collapsing at any time."

"No, I didn't mean that..." Chihiro said with a gloomy face, "I mean, I was going to give a good lesson to the stone that pulled me into the dream, but now it has merged with me, what should I do? alone?"

"..." She seemed to be thinking about this question seriously, but it was because of her seriousness that the drug seller didn't know what to answer.

He simply ignored what he had just heard, and continued to explain to Qianxun about the Soul-Sealing Stone, "Actually, even if you fail to fuse with the Soul-Sealing Stone, there is no danger of becoming the other party's host, but your spiritual power is too special. "

It was the first time that someone said that she had special spiritual power, Qianxun couldn't help but raised her head curiously, staring at the drug seller, urging him to continue talking with her eyes.

"Your spiritual power can awaken the sleeping desires of objects, and make objects with spirits reveal their appearance. It is probably because you have been with you for a long time, and the soul-sealing stone that originally possessed a certain spirituality was awakened by you, so it appeared. what happened today”

"..." Chihiro remembered that Abe Seimei had told her before that many people's spiritual powers have their own characteristics, but she never thought of her own spiritual power as something special.

Awakening the sleepy thoughts of utensils is simply a natural judge of the gods. It seems that the government of the time asked her to be the judge of the gods not just because she can become a cat.

Her mood suddenly became subtle.

The drug seller glanced at her, and finally comforted her, "However, the Soul Sealing Stone is no longer a threat to you. It is now a part of your body."

He picked up the medicine box that had been placed on the ground, and gently carried it on his back.

"Now that the matter has been resolved, I will take my leave first."

"Eh?" Chihiro's expression was blank for a second, "Are you leaving like this? I haven't expressed my thanks..." Her words suddenly stopped when she met the calm eyes of the drug seller.

"Is that so... You are very similar to an onmyoji I know."

The mysterious man who came here purely to solve the incident, in a sense, like Abe Seimei, does not intentionally make friends with others. He just observed the abnormality that happened to Chihiro as a bystander and solved it. It's all.

Qianxun struggled to sit up from the bed, she seemed to have a smile on her face, and looked at the medicine seller more gently and steadily than usual, "Thank you very, very much for this incident. "

The drug seller still had a slightly indifferent expression on his face, "It's not something that deserves special thanks. I just came to solve the abnormality of the items I sold."

Although his words were a bit cold, Chihiro didn't feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, she felt at ease with the current distance.

She stood up, and didn't ask where the other party was going next, but lowered her head slightly to express her gratitude to the other party again, and then watched the other party open the door of the room with her back turned to her.

She lowered her head slightly, and after the sunlight was blocked from the door again, she walked to the drawer where the contract was placed. She reached out and opened the drawer, trying to remove the contract stuck on top of the drawer, but she couldn't find it after fumbling for a long time. No contract found.

Chihiro's face immediately turned ugly, she remembered very clearly that she had indeed placed the contract here.

Was it taken away?

She pursed her lips slightly, then closed the drawer silently.

There were brisk footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock, and the door was suddenly pushed open.Shinano yelled "General!" and rushed towards Chihiro like a whirlwind.

In order to catch him, Chihiro subconsciously squatted down and was knocked down.

Silently, Chihiro holding the dagger wanted to reach out and rub her hurt back, but Shinano in front of her hugged her tightly.

Not only him, but Akita and Maeda who came in later, and even Hotaru who was following Dagger also rushed forward at the same time.

"I thought you, my lord, would never wake up again." Akita was sobbing as if he had been crying, his eyes were red and he looked very pitiful.

Chihiro felt a subtle sense of guilt, she reached out and stroked the daggers' hair, her voice softened, "I'm fine, you see, am I fine now?"

There seemed to be Yingwan's soft coquettish voice next to her ear, she turned her head slightly, feeling that she was about to be overwhelmed and out of breath.

So she had no choice but to raise her hand and pat Shinano, signaling to him that if he doesn't get up again, something will happen to his general.

Only then did Shinano realize that something was wrong, he hurriedly got up and left Chihiro, dragging Maeda and Akita down by the way.

Now only Hotaru is sticking to Chihiro's body, Chihiro has nothing to do with this big sword, she touches the other's hair helplessly, and comforts him softly, "Sorry, sorry, did you scare me? "

Shinano, who was the first to get up, was dissatisfied. As a general, his caring knife did not receive such treatment, so he was a little dissatisfied.

So he immediately squeezed over, intending to continue to pounce on Qianxun, but fortunately, Yaoken who entered the room stopped him in time.

Seeing Yaken coming in, Hotaru also climbed off Chihiro's body, blinking his big green eyes, looking at Yaken obediently.

Knowing that Hotaru wanted to check Chihiro's condition, Yaken nodded, he walked to Chihiro's side, looked at Chihiro who was pulling his crumpled clothes, and asked in a soft voice, "Little Chihiro , are you okay? Is there any discomfort?"

Chihiro shook her head, but Yaken, who was still a little worried, still put her hand on her forehead.

"The fever seems to have subsided..." He breathed a sigh of relief.

Chihiro sat on the bed and looked up at Yaken, his face was dark, as if holding back something, in order to ease the atmosphere, Chihiro stretched out her hand with a smile, she tilted her head, her voice was light and lively, "Yakuken, you Want a hug too?"

"..." Yaoken was silent, he stared at Qianxun for a long time, then curled up his fingers and flicked Qianxun's forehead lightly.

"Why did you flick my forehead..." Chihiro murmured extremely dissatisfied, she covered her forehead with her hands, and looked at Yaoken with her head tilted, but suddenly, she smiled softly, and then she was full of tears. Narrowly asked, "Do you really not need me to hug you and comfort you? Yaoyan?"

She has never been a serious person, and if she shows too serious attitude towards Yaoyan now, I am afraid it will make him worry. , after staring at her complicatedly for a long time, he finally opened his arms and hugged her.

Huh?Chihiro inadvertently opened her eyes wide, and then, she heard Yaoken's extremely low voice, like a sigh, "It's great that you're fine... General... General..."

Chihiro was stunned, in this pill, except for the short knives she forged, everyone else always called her Xiaoqian.She didn't care much about addressing this kind of thing, so she kept calling after them, but this was the first time she heard such a formal address from other fusangshen, and Chihiro didn't know how to react for a moment.

Obviously, what happened this time made Chihiro face up to her heart again, and it also changed something for the Fusangshen who were waiting for her.

Although they once hated the government's re-appointment of god judges to Honmaru, they even seriously considered whether to prevent Chihiro from entering Honmaru when she first arrived in Honmaru.

But now, whether it is Yaoken or other Fusangshen, they finally realized in front of the Sleeping Beauty who fell into a deep sleep and seemed to never wake up——

They cannot leave her.

However, Chihiro, who was accepted as a member of Honmaru without her knowing it, once again cast her eyes on the drawer where the contract was placed. She pursed her lips slightly, but in the end she still didn't say anything. , just silently raised his hand, and buried his head in Yaken's arms.
