[Comprehensive] Onmyoji raised by Cuckoo bird

Clean, empty, quiet room.

Lit by a candle, two shadows that were very close together appeared on the white paper door.

There is a viscous and stagnant feeling in the air, which can even bring a strange sense of oppression.

The scorching heat was transmitted from the slender fingertips, Shi Yu lowered his eyes, a little puzzled by the seriousness of the slippery ghost.She lost and said: "...I have already decided. But, do you want to go back on your word?"

The girl unconsciously tugged on his sleeve while speaking, and looked up at him, with the innocence and dependence of her childhood still vaguely remaining.

Nuliang Huapiao couldn't help laughing, he treated the little girl rescued by him with an almost tolerant attitude.Withdrawing his hand, under her anxious sight, he bent down and hugged her.

"A slippery ghost always walks the talk."

Still in the posture of holding a child, Shiyu sat on his strong arms, with one arm wrapped around his neck.He didn't wear the white wolf fur scarf today, and his unruly long golden and black hair was tied up at the end casually, shaking slightly with his movements, Shi Yu couldn't help but want to grab it.

"Are you going to take me away?" The slippery ghost who noticed her little trick shifted to the other side of his arms cunningly, Shi Yu was a little bored, but she quickly regained her energy and asked enthusiastically.

Nuliang glanced at her with his golden eyes, and noticed that the little girl's emotions were extremely high from the moment he agreed.

He narrowed his eyes knowingly.

Sensitively capturing the slight sound of footsteps outside the door, he quickly jumped out of the open door with Shi Yu in his arms, and disappeared into the air in an instant.

Little Monk Natto slowly appeared from the other end of the corridor with a tray in his hand.It first shrank by the door, poked out a big watery eye in the middle of the straw head, and glanced tentatively inside. After finding that Shiyu was not there, it ran in with relief and removed the leftovers from the table. .

Because of the fear of Shi Yu's return, the little monster immediately scrambled and ran away after cleaning. It was so fast that it seemed that something terrifying was chasing after it.

But at this end, Shi Yu was sitting in the arms of Slick Ghost, and he was leading him to gallop in the night.

The scenery flashing by all around, and the wind blowing quickly on his face... This long-lost feeling made Shi Yu a little intoxicated.

Soon, they reached the edge of the enchantment established by the big tengu.

Shi Yu's eyes widened, ready to watch how the slippery ghost would break the barrier of the big tengu, but...

The big monster kept walking, holding her in his arms and passing by, as relaxed as if there had never been such a thing as an enchantment in that place... just passed by.

"It's amazing..." Shi Yu couldn't help but marvel.Although I have known for a long time that the ability of the slippery ghost is not limited to being able to hide himself, but he can turn a blind eye to this level of enchantment. Is there any place in the world that he can't go to?

Hearing the subconscious praise from the little girl in his arms, the slippery ghost laughed heartily.

"This is nothing." He laughed so hard that he bent his waist, and his golden eyes sparkled, "I'll let you see something even more powerful later! How about it?"

"En!" Shi Yu nodded heavily, his smile full of anticipation.However, her expression soon became weird again.

"Wait! Stop!" Shi Yu suddenly yelled while clutching Slick Ghost's hair.

They were in a forest not far from the Otengu's mansion at the moment. Out of respect for the leader, there were no monsters in this area.

"What's the matter?" The slippery ghost stopped in doubt, looked around, and held Shiyu's hand helplessly, saving his hair from her hand.

Shi Yu pursed his lips and did not answer, but the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

Two clusters of orange flames suddenly lit up from the darkness, and then drifted towards their direction.

When it was about to approach, the flames blazed up, and there was a sound like popping beans, and a big fiery red tongue licked it over: "Aww!!"

"Hahaha, Lantern Ghost, don't lick it!" Shi Yu avoided its tongue in disgust, and pulled the Lantern Ghost's body to hug her. Two groups of warm and not burning flames surrounded her. Being by her side warmed her heart.

Nuliang Huapiao raised his eyebrows, his eyes wandered between Lantern Ghost and Shigure, and asked, "Do you know this little monster?"

"Yeah!" Shi Yu nodded vigorously, "The Lantern Ghost is my partner!"

The barrier of the big tengu cut off the induction of the contract.

But the Lantern Ghost found him according to the contract as soon as Shi Yu left the barrier.

Does this mean that it has been waiting for her, has never given up looking for her...?

Shi Yu's hands holding the Lantern Ghost began to tremble unconsciously, and he didn't quite understand what the feeling of fullness in his heart was at this moment...

Nuliang Huabao quietly stared at her with lowered eyes.

Since this encounter, the little girl's eyes were full of vitality for the first time, and the bright flames danced in her eyes, making her whole being alive.

He vaguely and suddenly understood what kind of existence this girl had been looking for in her heart, the "family" she had been looking for at the expense of the monsters and hometown that raised her.

"Hey, Hua Piao..." Shi Yu tugged on Nuliang Hua Piao's collar, as if he had returned to his childhood, with a flattering smile and a natural coquetry at him, "Let's go on - take the Lantern Ghost with you." Let's go, okay?"

Ootengu felt a little tired after a long absence.

He was born noble.Since he was a child, he has seen countless palace strife, conspiracy and power tactics, and he is very tired of it.

Originally thought that after transforming into a monster, he would no longer need to fall into such a vortex. However, the existence and challenges of the slippery ghost made him realize... Sometimes it is not enough to rely on one's own strength to protect justice.

Although the Hyakki Night Walk spontaneously held by the monsters in the Forest Village that day was only a semi-finished product, the "fear" it brought provided him with a powerful increase in power. This unusually powerful feeling... could make any monster want to stop.

He began to intervene in the specific affairs of the village of Mori, subdued his subordinates, frightened the prying eyes, and showed his strength... Step by step, he created his own real Hyakki Yako.

In order to protect his righteousness, he needs strength, and in order to gain strength, he must give up something.

He became more ruthless and decisive, and more and more awed by his subordinates.

Occasionally, however, Ootengu still feels a little restless...and inexplicably exhausted.

After finishing today's affairs, Ootengu glanced at the sky outside the window and found that it was almost midnight.

At this time... a certain human being should have fallen asleep early.

When I am so busy, I have a guy beside me who eats and sleeps every day for comparison. Even a big tengu sometimes has some bad intentions.

For example, deliberately making noises to wake her up, explaining natto to make her nasty food, teaching her the difficult flute and then laughing at her stupidity... and so on.Looking at the frantic anger on that idiot-like face, he would feel an unspeakable sense of relief and joy in his heart.

When he was about to leave, Datengu suddenly caught a glimpse of a green grass demon timidly poking its head out from the corner, looking at him hesitantly.

It was a little monster called Yingcao, which had a good healing ability and had a good reputation among monsters.

"What's the matter?" Big Tengu asked coldly.

"That, that..." Yingcao looked at the big tengu with dim eyes, already filled with tears.Well, so scary!Ahhh I'm so scared! !

"That, when..." After a long while, she managed to shake out a word, and when she looked up, the big tengu had already disappeared.

The pitch-black wings melted into the night, silently and quickly landed in front of the garden on the top of the mountain.

As soon as the big tengu stood firm and folded its wings, he saw the natto little monk greeted him with tears in his eyes...
