[Comprehensive] Strategy game of self-delusion

"Huh, this is the last word."

Xiaoya Tengu clenched the pen holder tightly, straightened his back, and finished the word stroke by stroke. This was the punishment for stealing wine from the palace before and being caught by Qingming face to face.

There is a thick stack of papers, all written by her in the past few days.

According to Qingming's request, the characters should be about the same size, exactly the same as the characters in that book, and there should be no typos.

She put the paper full of words in front of her with two corners, carefully dried the ink stains, and then put it on top of the stack of written papers. When Qingming came back, she would hand in Check him out.

After washing the brushes, she sat in the corridor and waited for Seimei to come back.

It was not Seimei who was waiting to come back first, but Otengu.

Recently, Ootengu's attitude towards her has improved a lot, at least he doesn't pick her up casually as he did when they first met. In this regard, he is better than Shuten-douji.

In addition, now Koya Tengu's favorite monster is Ibaraki Doji.

The second is Shuten Doji, and the third is Miss Aoyuto and Daitengu.

Ms. Qing Xingdeng can tell a lot of interesting stories, although most of them are scary, but people will definitely keep listening without opening their eyes, and she will kindly stop when she is afraid, saying that she can wait until tomorrow .

Then the next day, Qingming will be called to accompany her to listen to it, so that even when she is afraid, she will have courage knowing that Qingming is by her side.

But Seimei often only hears half of the story, which makes Koyatengu feel very guilty.

Because I was afraid, Seimei specially spared time to listen to the story with me. Sure enough, I like Seimei the most.

Adding all humans and monsters together, I also like Seimei the most.

"So, when will Qingming come back?" She looked into the distance and murmured.

The big tengu took a step to the right, blocking her view, and at the same time allowing himself to appear in her sight. Before the little monster asked questions, he asked first, "Do you want to learn how to fly?"

At this time, his shadow finally appeared in the empty eyes of the little monster who always didn't know what he was thinking, "Da Tengu, do you want to teach me?"

The little crow tengu cast its eyes on the wings of the big tengu. The dark blue wings are close to black, which is also the color closest to the night sky. It is wide and powerful, and it seems to cover the sky if it is unfolded.

And her wings feebly didn't seem to grow on her body, but a prop for decoration.

When she was asleep, she once stretched her hands behind her back to make sure that the pair of wings were growing well on her back. The flesh and blood were connected to the roots of the wings. If she used force at the connection, it would hurt both sides.

But Koya Tengu frowned and smiled, 【If you feel pain, then it should still work. 】

If it was Ootengu, he might be able to teach her how to use her wings to fly.

Koya Tengu jumped down from the corridor and looked at the powerful humanoid monster, "Please teach me."

No matter how much effort she puts in, she wants to learn to fly.

As a Yatengu, she must learn to fly.

But even though I have made such a determination, I mustered up the courage to jump off the bottomless cliff. I was too scared to close my eyes the first time, but I was able to try to open them the second time. ...But every time after that, the result was that she couldn't flap her wings, and she could only fall helplessly.

Then I was carried to the original position on the cliff by the big tengu that flew down from above, and continued to practice.

In the last practice, the little crow tengu fell with her back to the bottom of the cliff. She opened her arms and looked at the sky, which was gradually approaching the color of the big tengu's wings.

The sky is rejecting her.

Deny her touch, her approach, her flight.

He stretched his arms forward in vain, but what he touched was air, which couldn't be called the sky at all.

When she was about to fall to the ground at the bottom of the cliff, she was caught by the big tengu. She wrapped her arms around the big monster's neck, and said softly, "Hey, let's go back, big tengu, come back tomorrow, okay?"

The big monster's firm and powerful arms wrapped around her waist, and his voice was as low and gentle as the night sky, "Yeah."

***

Qing Xingdeng came to Qingming House again tonight, it is rare to have a monster who likes to listen to her stories, even if the other party is a little monster so weak that a wisp of will-o'-the-wisp can burn to death, she is also willing to tell stories to the other party.

Even willing to accommodate her to stop at the most terrible place and talk about it next time.

She will sit on her blue palace lantern and control the palace lantern to fly in front of the little monster. The little monster wears a red tengu mask and claims to be a little crow tengu.

"What kind of story do you want to hear today, Koya Tengu?"

The little crow tengu who was sitting as usual raised his head, and the long tengu nose pointed at her, "Miss Qing Xingdeng, do you know any stories about monsters learning to fly?"

Qing Xingdeng changed to sit cross-legged, closed his eyes and supported his face for a while, then told her, "There is no such thing in the stories I know, why, are you learning to fly?"

Xiaoya Tengu told Qing Xingdeng how she learned to fly with Da Tengu today, but failed until the end.

Qingxing Dengdao, who has restored his previous elegant posture, "The method used by the big tengu is not wrong."

"Yes." She replied, took off the Tengu mask, patted her face, "Cheer up." With a lot of strength, her white skin immediately turned red, Xiao Ya Tengu smiled at Qing Xingdeng He nodded, and then put on the Tengu mask, "Then let's continue with the story I told today, about the fox demon falling in love with the witch."

Qing Xingdeng covered his face with his cuffs, covering the smile on his lips, "Then please continue listening."

……

The fox demon knew that she fell in love with the witch, and the witch also knew that it was a fox demon who fell in love with her. As a family member serving the gods, she knew what would happen to her if she continued.

However, the increasingly intense love made people willing to lose their minds, and she finally did something that could never be forgiven by the gods.

She is pregnant.

The shrine maiden is pregnant with a youkai's child.

The witch and the monster fled to the deep forest together, and successfully gave birth to a child of humans and monsters. But on that day, the witch was punished by God. At the cost of her life, the monster and the two newborn children survived. down.

Koya Tengu asked nervously, "What about after that?"

"I don't know what happened after that." Qing Xingdeng shook the palace lantern and flew to the window, "That's all for today's story, I'll tell you a good story next time, Koya Tengu."

"See you next time, Qing Xingdeng."

And Qing Xingdeng, who left Qingming's house, looked in one direction, with a smile in his voice, "The story is only here, and I don't know what the follow-up will be."

***

When the moon was rising to the zenith, Qingming, who smelled like alcohol, finally arrived. Xiaoya Tengu sniffed, "Qingming, I drank a lot of wine today."

The clear-eyed Onmyouji looked at Koya Tengu under the moonlight, and smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry I'm late." He sat next to Koya Tengu, "Why are you waiting for me today?"

Xiaoya Tengu said, "I finally finished writing those words and wrote them down." She broke off her bent little finger, thought for a while and then broke off another finger. Down count another thing.

"I learned to fly with the big tengu today, but I haven't learned it yet." This is the third thing.

"Miss Qing Xingdeng's story today is not scary, so I've heard all the stories without Qingming." She said, "It's not finished, because Miss Qing Xingdeng doesn't know the rest of the story."

With one raised thumb left, Koya Tengu said, "I also waited for Seimei here today."

Finally, the palms that were originally spread out turned into a clenched fist.

This is the daily routine in recent times.

Seimei is also used to listening to Koya Tengu tell him what he did.

Until a few days later, the little crow tengu sitting next to him took off his mask and put it on the floor beside him, then gently hugged his arm, "Seimei, I told the big tengu today that I will never learn to fly again. gone."

"Every night, I will make sure that my wings are growing on my back, but no matter how I try, it won't flap even once."

She finally couldn't help choking up, and then burst into tears, "Qingming, why, I can't fly?"

Xiao Yatengu was crying with tears in his eyes, a huge ghost hand was placed on her head, and the heat smelled of wine and the sound of flapping wings came from beside her.

"I told you not to teach her." Shuten Doji complained to the big tengu, "Look, it made her cry again."

It was rare for the big tengu not to refute. He looked at the little crow tengu who was wiping away the tears with his hands. His snow-white cheeks were soaked with tears and turned crimson, and hot tears welled up in his golden eyes. Her posture was like this lovable.

But like a phantom, the lines around his body began to blur.

Ibaraki Doji touched her, but his arm is still clear, this is the proof of existence in this world.

Ibaraki Doji carefully pushed aside her hair, which was still as long as when they first met, with his ghostly hands, preventing her from getting it into her eyes.

"Useless work." Big Tengu crossed his arms and said.

In the end, Seimei's words stopped her constant crying, "You are not a monster."

His icy blue eyes are as quiet as a lake, and he can see clearly to the bottom, "You are not from this world."

"What are you talking about..." Koya Tengu moved his hands away from his face, but saw the outline of his body that had begun to blur. The strange thing was that she didn't feel scared, but she couldn't understand what Qingming said , "... Seimei."

Shuten-douji wiped away the tears on her cheeks with his fingers, "The time you can last has reached the limit, little monster, you have to go back to where you should be."

"You are the projection of a power that you cannot contain. If you return to yourself, it means that your power will gradually become uncontrollable and start to get out of control." He touched her cheek, "Be careful, people who don't know your real name."

Ibaraki Doji withdrew his hand, stared at her who was still confused, and her wings had dissipated, "Only in a world that is not in you can block your ability."

The tengu mask she put aside also dissipated half, and the big tengu picked up the mask.

There are tiny spots of light surrounding this small courtyard, creating a dreamlike scene, but neither humans nor monsters at the scene have the heart to watch.

The whole body of Koya Tengu in the center of the light spot has completely dissipated. She doesn't know what Seimei and the big monsters said until now, but she knows what she should do now.

She slowly closed those pupils that were like bright spots of light, "Goodbye, everyone."

The mask on Daitengu's hand dissipated, he lowered his hand, and then clenched it tightly.

The palm is empty.

Qing Xingdeng appeared in the courtyard at some time, and the blue palace lantern under her seemed to be filled with materials.As the burning flame grew brighter, she whispered, "That's a good story, too."

The author has something to say: Good night.

In fact, you don’t have to worry too much about the ending, I will try my best to write clearly.
