[Comprehensive] Onmyoji raised by Cuckoo bird

The heavy rain poured down, rustling the branches and leaves all over the forest, and the rain spread wantonly along the ground, washing the soil on the ground over and over again.

Under this kind of weather, except for a few kinds of monsters who are naturally close to water, no creatures are willing to come out to move.

Even a youkai of Ootengu's level will stop for a while because he doesn't want the rain to wet his feathers.

He stood silently in the mountain hut where he temporarily stayed, looking at the increasingly dark sky through the small and simple window.After a long time, without looking back, he said: "Rainwater will take away a lot of things."

Including the breath left between a person's actions.

Behind him, the young man who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes.

He was wearing a refined riding and archery suit, with high hair and a heroic look in his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, the expression in his eyes was as bright as the rising sun.

But for such a young man, when he heard the words of the big tengu, his eyes were dimmed for a moment, and he said with some regret: "Is it... It seems that it will take more time to catch up with Senior Sister Shiyu." Energized."

"Compared to this, I would like to know why you are so attached to that woman, Boya?" Datengu sighed lightly, turned his head, and seriously looked at the human being whose shoulders were straight and loose even when he was kneeling. Boy, "In name, Shigure is your senior sister, so it's what you should do to follow the instructions she left in the letter."

Was it because he was annoyed at the girl's behavior of leaving without saying goodbye after dropping a letter?Or was your self-esteem hurt because you were underestimated?

These two guesses didn't even turn around in my mind before they were thrown aside by the big tengu.After getting along with the boy day and night during this period, Ootengu is very clear about the boy's behavior. Although he is not mature enough, he is deeply impressed by his open mind and amazing speech.

He was not such a narrow-minded human being at all.

"Persistence..." Boya recalled the comment of Daitengu a little strangely, and couldn't help but curled his lips, "I can't help it either. After realizing the fact that she left alone, the body spontaneously started Moved."

"Is it because you don't even know about it?" Big Tengu said indifferently, "Could it be some kind of curse?"

"Maybe." Boya looked at Datengu with some surprise on his face, and then replied calmly, "But if it's really a curse, it must be a curse I cast for myself..."

Ootengu rarely showed a somewhat confused look.He originally had such a character, he didn't appreciate everything.Only those who are truly in his eyes will arouse his attention and exploration.Out of admiration for the boy, he paid special attention to the various abnormalities that appeared on him.

"Datengu, although you are a monster, these days I feel that getting along with you is very speculative." Boya said, "But sure enough, there is one thing that you can't understand no matter what."

When the young man said these words, the beautiful and peaceful face couldn't help appearing in his mind - it was the appearance of the girl who was deeply imprinted in his heart.

Although that person looks thin and weak, he has a heart stronger than anyone else.He can play with monsters, and is merciless when necessary. Even because of his family, Boya, who grew up under the care of many women, has never seen such a woman.

When they first met, she was just a symbol to Boya, representing the status of the only closed disciple of King Ma Cang Ye.But as the interaction between each other deepened, this childish girl at the time almost completely shattered Boya's patchwork and understanding of the concept of women, so that for a long time, Boya had to put Ping Anjing The women and Shigure are treated as two completely different types.

When exactly did he start to care more about her, even Boya himself couldn't tell.

Maybe it was when I had to shoulder more and more responsibilities in order to protect something after having an extra sister.

When you want to gain something, you will lose something.

Boya was able to abandon everything when he was young, and pestered King Ma Cangye to seek apprenticeship purely for the sake of becoming stronger. But when he grew up, he gradually realized the responsibilities and shackles brought by his family background and identity, and he was ready to accept it. preparation.

He always knew exactly what he was doing.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he has a different feeling for the woman who has never changed, and has even become more unscrupulous.

Maybe it's yearning, maybe it's admiration, or other more complicated emotions, Boya didn't bother to think too much.Training, becoming stronger, taking care of my sister, accepting my father's training... There are too many things to do on a daily basis, so this kind of feeling can only occupy a small corner of my heart.

Only when facing Shigu, this feeling will ferment quickly, making Boya always behave in a bewildering way that is inconsistent with his usual behavior.

It's the same this time.

It wasn't that he felt underestimated, and it wasn't all because of her refusal to get angry, what really drove him to chase after him non-stop, was just——

"Out of concern for the woman I secretly admire in my heart."

"...What?" Datengu didn't react for a while, his blue eyes widened slightly, and he looked inexplicably dazed.

"That's why I have been looking for her. Even if she may be stronger than me, it doesn't matter if she is said to be ignorant of self-awareness. I just want to protect her." The language in my heart that I never poured out is so frank After saying it, Boya himself was a little surprised, but apart from that, he also felt a burst of relief and relief, "It's really not out of the question to call this an attachment."

After these words fell, there was a long period of silence in the wooden house.

Daitengu's expression seemed to be numb.

Boya waited for a while, guessing that monsters might not understand human feelings, so he shrugged slightly, and changed the subject with a smile: "Speaking of it, big tengu, why did you follow me out? It's different from me, you But the king of Forest Village, right?"
