[Comprehensive] Peach blossoms are not cherry blossoms!

After Tao left the imperial city, she first went to Master Qingming's mansion, but...

"Damn it, this is the courtyard that Lord Qingming is most proud of. If he sees it, he will definitely be angry!" Looking at the messy courtyard in front of him that was ruined by monsters, Tao muttered angrily, then raised her hand and used her spirit Trying to bring back the flowers, trees and plants in the courtyard to life... but for other things, there is no other way for the time being——

Sighing helplessly, she glanced at the sky and disappeared again.

The next place she went to was a cherry blossom forest not far from the outskirts of the city. It used to be a famous scenic spot in Heian-kyo. Whenever spring comes, the cherry blossoms here bloom beautiful flowers. That is any beautiful scenery. An incomparable dream-like picture.

At that time, Sakura will dance here, her dancing figure is very, very beautiful, when Tao looks at her, she will think, maybe being mistaken for Sakura is not such a bad thing.

Every cherry tree in the cherry blossom forest has life like the cherry blossoms. Because of the miasma, the place is still a bit gloomy, but Tao found her friend at a glance.

When she just returned to this time and space, she had already completely remembered what happened before, so she also knew clearly that Sakura was sleeping, and she probably wouldn't know that she had been here.

But it doesn't matter, even if we can't see each other, it's okay, she just wants to say goodbye to her.

"I can't accompany you to wait for your husband as agreed." Putting her palm against the tree trunk lightly, Tao closed her eyes, "Because in another world, there are people waiting for me."

There was a wind blowing, and the branches and leaves made a low rustling sound. It seemed that the beautiful flower demon was whispering something softly in a trance.

"Let me tell you, don't sleep too long, what if you miss the person you are waiting for?" Tao raised her head, looked at the shaking branches, and said awkwardly, "Ah, I can I'm not caring about you, I'm just reminding you~"

"Okay, I can't tell you any more, this time I really have to leave!"

Looking back again, the gently swaying branches seemed to be waving goodbye to her, Tao whispered, "Sakura, I can't accompany you, but I must be happy!"

……

Because of the Shikigami contract, Tao quickly found Seimei who was walking with Boya and the others in the mountains not far away. When she suddenly appeared in front of them, several people were stunned.

"Huh? Peach Blossom Demon?" Boya pointed at her in surprise, "Aren't you guarding the palace, why are you here?"

Tao curled her lips, "It's all right over there. After the big snake was sealed, all the monsters ran away."

"Where are those weird men in black?"

"They, my sword will take care of it~" Tao waved her hand nonchalantly.

"Peach Blossom Demon..." The puppy-like fox had a mask slanted on its head, it tilted its head, jumped over and sniffed around her, "It really smells like a Peach Blossom Demon , but it seems to be a little different..."

"Where did Tao go before?" The little girl holding a Tang umbrella came forward and asked with concern, "I haven't seen you since I came back from Mount Heiye. I'm worried."

"That..." Momo, who has a good impression of Kagura, scratched her head, "A lot of things happened, but I don't have time to talk—"

"No time?" Kagura blinked.

"Well... I have to go back before sunset." She said so, and then turned her eyes to the young man who was holding a folding fan and smiling at her, "Master Seimei..."

Facing that familiar figure, she was suddenly at a loss for words.

——Oops, I don’t know what to say all of a sudden...

She blinked her eyes, "That..."

Seeing her wandering eyes, the handsome young man in black hat and hunting clothes smiled even deeper, and he tapped his palm with a folding fan, "Is Fu Sangshen who helped us in the city earlier a friend of Tao's?" ?”

"Eh?" Tao was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously nodded, "Mmm, um..."

"That kid, keep surrounding me and ask 'Are you the lord's lord'?" The corners of his lips raised slightly, as if he couldn't help laughing.

"That must be Hotaru." Tao nodded, and she could completely imagine him asking this question with his head raised and his beautiful eyes blinking.

"Oh, is that kid with the big sword called Hotaru?" The fox shikigami called Shiro grinned, "He's so powerful!"

"Of course~" Tao raised her chin as a matter of course and said, "They are all my swords, and they are all powerful!"

Seeing her triumphant look, Qingming chuckled and stepped forward, "It seems that Tao has gained a lot during the time she has been away."

His voice was gentle and calm, with a slight smile and understanding.

"Yeah!" Looking up at him, Tao nodded vigorously.

"If the Peach Blossom Demon comes back, then we will have many helpers again, that's great, Lord Qingming!" Xiao Bai jumped up and down, the fox grinned and looked extremely excited.

But hearing what it said, Tao's eyes darkened. She lowered her head and said with some frustration, "I'm sorry, Master Qingming, I..."

Before she finished speaking, she already felt a hand pat on the top of her head through the thin fabric of the hood.

"It's okay." Qingming's voice was calm and gentle, "Go do what you want to do, don't you have important things to do?"

Peach opened her eyes slightly.

Facing her bewildered and astonished eyes, Qingming smiled, raised his hand to perform a spell, and then whispered a few spells.

Tao was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of something breaking.

When she realized what it was, her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the young man in front of her with a somewhat eager expression.

Qingming smiled reassuringly at her, "In this way, you will be more free."

"But!" Tao bit her lip, "I'm still willing to be Seimei-sama's shikigami!"

Why, to cancel the contract...

In that case, the last bond between her and this world will be gone...

"Tao is already a god," Qingming said, not paying attention to the surprised looks of the others behind him, "There are so many companions following you, I can't be sure what the future will be like, even if it is my descendants, if someone If you take advantage of this contract, it will be very bad for you—”

"Even in this world..." He seemed to have thought of something, and his brows were stained with gloom, "Hei Qingming and I were originally the same person. If so, it would be better to be less restrained."

Hearing his explanation, Tao understood, but felt a little sad. She lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then suddenly turned her head and stared at the bird that was blinking and curiously looking at Qingming and then at her. Fox Shikigami, "Hey puppy, I tell you, if I'm not around in the future, you have to protect Master Seimei!"

"Xiaobai is a fox, not a dog!" It jumped up and down angrily, and then shook its two long tails, "Xiaobai is the shikigami of Master Seimei, of course he will protect him~ "

"Okay, let's go quickly." Qingming knocked on the fan again, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that you have to go back before sunset, if you don't hurry up, it will be too late."

Only then did Tao realize it. She glanced at the already flushed sky and was startled.

"Then, Master Qingming, I'm leaving—" She bit her lip, and looked at this magnificent onmyoji again with some reluctance.

"Yeah." He nodded gently, "Take care."

……

The evening before sunset, the time when people call the devil, is the last scene Tao saw in the world where she was born and raised. The setting sun dyed the huge capital red, and the miasma has not completely dissipated, and there is still a gloomy feeling. , but she believes that in a short time, this place will definitely return to its former bustling scene.

——Because this is a world guarded by Seimei-sama.

From a distance, I saw the group of fusangshen guarding in front of the time-space passage in different postures. Tao fell down a little panting, and turned her head a little guilty in the face of the oncoming accusing gaze.

"Really, I almost thought you weren't coming back!" California Qingguang complained, "Don't scare us casually in the future!"

"That's right, the sun will disappear in a while, and we can't help but separate to find you." Yamato Shou Anding sighed.

As for Wuhu Tui and Luan Zao, the first time they saw her, they ran forward and grabbed her sleeves from left to right, with a look of fear.

"I'm sorry..." Tao puffed her cheeks and said sullenly, "I didn't expect Master Qingming and the others to go so far..."

"Okay, okay," Candlestick cut clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Since the lord is back, let's go."

"Yoshi, I'm home, I'm home~" Izumi Mori Kanesada stretched.

"Is everyone here?" Tao looked around worriedly.

"Please don't worry," said Yiqi with a smile, "Candlestick Qiedian and I have already counted the number of people."

Tsurumaru quietly walked up behind her on his feet, facing Yiqi's suspicious eyes, he stretched out his hand to make a silent gesture, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed her on the back.

Tao was startled, and staggered, one foot had already stepped in first.

"Tsuraru, you guys are here again!" Before turning around, he knew that this guy who was keen to make trouble must have done it, Momo turned around with black lines and gave him a look.

"Okay, let's all go in with the lord~" Yiqi Yizhen gently pushed his younger brothers, and urged with a smile.

"Oh~ go home~"
