[Comprehensive] Onmyoji raised by Cuckoo bird

Shi Yu was sitting by the edge, clutching a pale golden amulet in his hand, looking lazily at the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard with his head propped up.

The guard of the shrine is time-limited, and the blessings bestowed by the gods on it will expire after one year.The guard in her room is updated every year, and the one in her hand is already the seventh generation.

Monsters basically don't have a concept of time, they don't celebrate their birthdays, and they don't have any festivals during the New Year, so as time goes by, Shigure has gradually become too lazy to record the date every day, and he doesn't even pay attention to his own birthday.

Not long after the conversation between the two monsters that day, Shi Yu, who was obediently nesting in the study and practicing calligraphy, was dragged into his house by the big tengu with a confused face.

Gu Huo Niao seemed to have some important business to attend to.She went out frequently, and when she came to visit Shi Yu occasionally, she seemed to be in a hurry.

Shi Yu intuited that this had something to do with their conversation that day.But no matter how she inquired about the big tengu, she tried everything she could to act coquettishly, but the result was always unsatisfactory.

After a long time, I can only gradually let go of this matter and keep my doubts in my heart.

Taking a lesson from Shigure's random outing last time, Daitengu created a barrier around his residence.She is not allowed to go out a step, and the monsters next to her are not allowed to come in.

Except for occasionally being able to accompany him to go out and meet his little friends when he is free, most of the time, Shiyu can only stay alone on the top of the empty and lonely mountain.

My daily life is to eat, eat, sleep and sleep in a normal way. When I am bored, I will sit by the edge and look at the flowers and the sky. When the big tengu is free, I will watch it with her. Occasionally, I will play a song when the mood comes. .

The appearance of him playing the flute with his eyes closed under the moonlight does not seem to be human at all, just like a god sitting among the clouds, exuding a solemn and solemn beauty.

At times like this, Shi Yu would put aside his dissatisfaction and resentment towards him, and immerse himself in his superb musical accomplishments wholeheartedly, so as to wash away the distracting thoughts and worries in his heart.

But he doesn't have much free time.

Since the battle with the Nuragumi led by the slippery ghost, Ootengu seems to have changed a lot.In the past, he didn't pay much attention to many things and rejected the allegiance of many monsters, and he also began to formally form his own forces.

Presumably, it won't be long before Mori no Sato will change from the original monster paradise to the territory directly under the big monster Otengu.

As time went by, Shigure gradually grew up in the overly closed protection of Ootengu, and slowly took care of his body, but his heart became more and more bored and empty.

Gu Huo Niao only visited her once every few months.Even though his expression towards her was still gentle and concerned, Shi Yu still began to feel uneasy uncontrollably.

——Did she not want her? !Because she is growing up and is no longer a child?

Did she start picking up cubs outside again and bring them home?Is most of your energy betting on other children?

Ah, but if that's the case, isn't it normal?Because this is exactly the nature of a monster like Gu Huo Niao.

It is precisely this kind of warm nature that allowed Shi Yu to be saved and reborn in his infancy, but it is also precisely because of Gu Huo Niao's almost obsessive nature of raising cubs that Shi Yu gained happiness and warmth in his childhood. At the same time, I often feel uneasy and worry about gains and losses.

The reason couldn't be simpler. She is a human being, and she will grow up in at most ten years. At that time, will Gu Huo Niao still regard her as her center, care about her, take care of her, and love her deeply like a mother? ?

Reason told her that it was impossible.

One day, she will leave Shigu completely, look for a new child who needs to be taken care of, then leave again, look for it again...the cycle repeats.

She is the existence that has the deepest bond with Shi Yu in this world.Thinking of the inevitable separation in the future, Shi Yu felt at a loss.

There are also mountain rabbits, firefly grasses, carp spirits, etc... Human lifespan is at most a short hundred years, and this time may only allow them to grow up a little bit for the monsters who have already left the cub stage.

It has been seven years since Shi Yu was brought to his residence by the big tengu, and she really felt that she had spent a very long time.But maybe that's not the case for monsters?

Otherwise, how to explain that Mountain Rabbit Yingcao and the others, whose intimacy has reached the full value, never took the initiative to come to her?Could it be that their feelings for her are not as great as their fear of the big tengu?

Obviously...she misses them so much.

Monsters... are truly incomprehensible creatures.Simpler than human beings, crueler than human beings, extreme than human beings, and more out of reach than human beings.

However, if you really want them to be by her side forever...

Shi Yu thought, maybe, it's not impossible.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Shi Yu knew that Daitengu probably wouldn't come back today.

Recently, many monsters from outside came to seek refuge on their own initiative. The big tengu needs to make certain tests and screenings according to the situation, and often does not return at night.

Shi Yu stood up slowly supporting the floor, turned around and walked into the room.

Three meals a day are prepared by a little monster called natto monk.But Shigure only listened to Daitengu mention it a little bit.

Because this little monster seems to be very timid.Basically, Shigure can't see it.I just occasionally see some sticky natto falling on the ground in the corridor...

Hmm... that smell is really nasty.

The game panel shows that its level is an N-level monster, that is to say, it is at the same level as the lantern ghost.The intimacy is very low, probably because they never met formally.

Shigure also didn't intend to attack this little monster.

When she returned to her room, there were all kinds of food on the desk.She finished it slowly, and then picked up a chopstick of fish, but suddenly found that it was a whole saury suddenly missing half of its body.

"... Nuliang slippery cup!" Shi Yu yelled suddenly, not knowing whether to be angry or happy.

The air beside her fluctuated, like a shattered mirror, and a figure appeared from it.

A certain big monster with half a fish in its mouth was sitting on the ground like an old man. It was covered with red feathers, and its long hair intertwined with gold and black was raised wildly. Its golden eyes shone brightly under the light of the candlelight. Hui.

He tilted his head, raised a flamboyant and cunning smile towards Shi Yu, and said lazily, "Yo~"

"Hey, you're big!" Shi Yu couldn't help laughing at him, "He's a famous big monster after all, and you don't think it's embarrassing to come to snatch children's dinner again?"

"I'm a cunning ghost!" Nuliang Huapiao took it for granted, and seemed to be quite proud of it.

Shi Yu was suddenly powerless.

In the evening, you enter other people's homes as if entering your own, and eat and drink as a matter of course-this is a slick ghost.

Shi Yu saw this passage later in the introduction of the Hundred Ghosts Illustrated Book.She couldn't imagine that this kind of monster who sounded so rascal could actually become the master of monsters!

"Well, don't be angry." Nuliang Huapiao looked at her with a smile, put one hand lazily into his sleeve, and looked at Shiyu with a smile, "I came here specially to find you...don't you welcome me?"

"..." Shi Yu pouted and stopped talking.

She wouldn't say no against her will, but she also didn't want to make that guy too proud.

After meeting the slippery ghost that time, although she moved to the big tengu's house soon, the big monster still haunts her every now and then.

Unlike the strict and self-disciplined big tengu, the slippery ghost is not at all the kind of leader who can command all ghosts in Shi Yu's impression.He is lazy, good wine, and occasionally likes to pull some ironic pranks.

But Shi Yu was beside him like this, and felt a long-lost sense of relaxation and happiness... Just like playing with her friends before time travel, she can say whatever she wants, without worrying about being restrained and scolded, and occasionally If you go too far, you will definitely be tolerated.

Shigure was forced to live with Ootengu for a long time due to some reason that even she didn't know, but in the first few years, because of the surprises brought by slippery ghosts from time to time, she didn't even feel that time was too late. How hard it is.

Later, when the Nuliang group withdrew from the foot of the Mori no Sato mountain, and Nuliang Yubai began to prepare for a new expedition, he gradually reduced the frequency of visiting her.

This year is his first time here.

"Has the matter over at the Nuliang Group come to an end?" Shi Yu asked him.

"Ah, the side of Moyan Mountain is already our territory." Mentioning this incident, Nuliang Huapiao's mood became obviously better, and he smiled smugly, "I found a very capable guy , and made him my family."

"Is it a very strong monster?" Shi Yu was a little curious.

"Hmm... the bull ghost is not only very strong, but also has a good brain!" The slippery ghost spoke highly of the opponent, "I fought against him for three days and three nights before I defeated him."

"Hey~" Shi Yu sighed.At that time, the slippery ghost and the big tengu also fought for several days and nights, and they didn't know who the holy bull ghost was.

After talking with the slippery ghost, Shigure felt a little hungry, so he started to eat again.

Nuliang Huapiao didn't tease her any more, and sat cross-legged on one side with her hands on her cheeks, her eyes fell on the girl unconsciously.

The human body grows really fast.Compared with when we first met, the girl now has grown up like a tree without knowing it, with a slender figure and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Although she is still young, she is also like a budding flower, blooming with her own elegant demeanor.

However, compared with her appearance, the changes in her temperament are even more impressive.The slippery ghost didn't know what Shigure had experienced during the time he was away. The corners of the girl's eyes and brows were full of sadness and even gloomy emotions. This kind of negative emotion was especially reflected when she was eating alone. obvious.

Shi Yu only felt as if he had been hungry for a long time, and this meal was particularly delicious.After she put down the bowl and wiped it off with the folded handkerchief beside her, she happily ran to the slippery ghost, looked at him expectantly, and asked, "What gift did you bring this time?"

Slick Ghost looked at her quietly for a while, until Shi Yu felt a little uneasy, then smiled lightly, took out a delicate cypress fan from his sleeve, and handed it over.

Shi Yu took it over, sized it up curiously, and slowly unfolded it.On the fan made of silk, a group of monsters are depicted with extremely exaggerated brushwork. Due to the abstract style of the painting, Shigure can only see that the monsters have wings on their backs, hold various weapons, and have a lot of power. long beak.

"What is this?" she asked suspiciously.

"This...it's the Tengu picture." Nuliang Huapiao smiled and explained, "It's a pattern that's been popular in Heian-kyo recently, and it's said that it can drive away evil spirits."

Shi Yu's eyes widened, and he looked at the pattern on the fan, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"...Why did you give this to me?" She laughed and complained, "I always feel that something terrible will happen if the big tengu sees it?"

"When I went to Heian-kyo today, I saw the 'Yuanfu Ceremony' being held there." The slippery ghost looked at her, and suddenly started a topic that had nothing to do with the previous one, "It is said that human women aged 13 to 15, Participating in this ceremony is considered an adult."

"13 years old?" Shi Yu froze for a moment, with a surprised expression on his face.She herself still habitually follows the habits of her previous life, thinking that women are considered adults.

"...Sure enough, you don't even know this." The slippery ghost sighed lowly, he lowered his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but think of the little girl with persistent eyes who was pulling the corner of his clothes again in his mind... She Do you really know what kind of wish you made?

"According to the agreement, I'm here to pick you up." He stood up and appeared in front of Shi Yu in an instant, bent slightly, and raised her chin with his fingertips.

Looking at those slightly confused black pupils, Nuliang Huapiao looked solemnly, and asked in a low voice: "Ask again. Have you decided to become my family?"
