The evil monster Guhuo Niao was adopted as a shikigami by an unknown onmyoji—the news spread throughout Heian-kyo within a few days.

As for why the nobles in the capital knew about this so quickly, it was mostly because of the onmyojis in the onmyoji who were dedicated to serving these nobles. They learned the news from their shikigami, and then said Word of mouth passed on, so that without Xuehui's knowledge, her name had already resounded throughout the capital.

Whether it is among monsters or compared with those onmyojis with some spiritual power, Guhuo Niao's strength can be said to be quite strong, and it is precisely because of this that the fact that she was accepted as a shikigami by Yukie caused such a big controversy. sensation.

An onmyoji born from no name, who never knew it had appeared...

Being able to subdue Guhuo Bird was probably just luck, right?

Most of the onmyojis thought so, they directly denied the possibility that Xue Hui might be exceptionally talented, and blamed all this on her good luck.

However, this alone is already very enviable.

Not every onmyoji can have a shikigami as powerful as Guhuo Niao.

Xue Hui didn't know about this matter, but as the "unknown little onmyoji" that people in Kyoto mentioned every day these days, she was worrying about a very small matter.

...That is, what does the big tengu like to eat? !

She is trying to please him.

Because, after knowing that Datengu Dabai, who was picked up by her, was the target of the hidden mission, her attitude towards him became a little subtle.

Although from the outside, he seems to be just a harmless animal, but she always feels that it is not that simple-although, so far, she has not seen anything special about him.

So even with her attitude, she became cautious.

Every time it's time to eat, the big tengu always walks to the side. He is quiet like an animal. His eyes are a little erratic, as if he has been looking into the distance, and then he maintains such a posture for a whole day. will move.

It's almost like suffering from depression...

Even if Xue'e brought the food directly in front of him, he would not touch it.Therefore, Yukie was very worried about whether he would starve to death directly, but also considered whether the monster needed to eat.

But after seeing Xiao Bai beside him eating happily, she became even more worried.

"By the way, I really want to know what it likes to eat."

After Daitengu rejected the food she brought over for the nth time, Yukie was already very disappointed, and asked questions like Yingcao casually.

Yingcao was stunned for a moment, and her tone was as gentle and weak as ever: "...Master Yukie, you really think of Dabai as an ordinary animal."

At this moment, Yukie didn't pay attention to Yingcao, but noticed that after her care, the whole body seemed to be rounder than before. She looked at the furry ears hidden in the hair, and pinched it with interest. pinched.

And the big tengu lying on the floor didn't pay attention to her movements. During this time, he was very used to treating him like a pet, so he just lay there lazily.

But he was still listening to the conversation between Yukie and Hotaru.

After hearing Yingcao's words, Xuehui frowned in distress: "Actually, I have never believed it. Dabai is a monster..." But at this moment, her movements stopped, "Probably because it looks so real. Is it too harmless?"

That's why she subconsciously treats it as a cute little animal. Although there are weak and beautiful monsters like Yingcao, most of them are very hideous. A puppy-like animal is associated with a monster.

However, Yukie also clearly understood one thing.

Dabai doesn't seem to like him—it doesn't like touching it, and he doesn't like talking to it, and his ice-blue eyes always seem to show impatience.

This fact inevitably made her a little frustrated. After all, even if there was no hidden mission, she still liked the cute little monster in front of her very much.

Of course, Ootengu felt quite complicated after hearing Yukie's evaluation.

What is the difference between saying that he is harmless and saying that he is weak? Such words are used to describe him, a famous big monster, and to a certain extent, he has seriously hurt his self-esteem.

Ever since I met Xue Hui, this guy has been talking about how cute and lovable he is.I hug him like a pillow every day when I have nothing to do, and hardly give him a quiet moment.

To be honest, I haven't had any contact with humans before, but this time, I directly encountered such a troublesome guy, which brought a lot of trouble to Ootengu.

For example, under Xue'e's torture, he felt that his hair loss became more serious.

...No, calm down.

After all, she was also his savior.

"Actually, Master Yukie, many monsters are not used to eating human food." Yingcao said, "Not all monsters are like me, able to adapt to the taste of human food."

"Is that so?" Xuehui asked, "However, I'm always worried that it will starve to death sooner or later." As he spoke, his eyes moved to Datengu.

Yingcao laughed: "Monsters don't die so easily." She continued to explain patiently, "Actually, it doesn't matter if most monsters don't eat. Food is a dispensable thing for us. exist."

Xue'e held her chin, as if she was thinking about something: "So Dabai just doesn't like eating human food, not me, right?"

Hearing this, Otengu opened his eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Xue E, and just met her disappointed face. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to say that he also Didn't hate her that much.

It should be said that he didn't hate her at all.

I don't hate this onmyoji who has no position and is overconfident.

He thought so.

After a few more days, Ootengu felt that his injury seemed to be almost healed. He felt the original lost strength from his body again, and he was able to change into a human form freely, but he still did not appear in front of Yukie In his original form, this might cause unnecessary trouble - he had originally planned to leave Xue Hui's side after he recovered from his injury.

The day he planned to leave was getting closer and closer, and instead, a wave of anxiety surged inside him.

He couldn't describe what that feeling was.

But he still decided to leave, after all, this was not his place in the first place.

But looking at the gentle smile that Xue Hui showed him, he felt that there seemed to be signs of softening somewhere in his heart.

Then, that day came.

It was still night, but the night of this day seemed extraordinarily bleak.

Xuehui was used to sleeping with something in her arms, and she didn't have a pillow by her side, so she just took Ootengu as a substitute.

Although it is difficult to fall asleep, once she falls asleep, nothing can wake her up. Therefore, when the big tengu in her arms leaves the bed, Yukie, who is still asleep, only feels that there is something empty in her arms , but she still didn't respond, she just turned over.

Ootengu, as usual, took his more accustomed human form.

His human form seemed a bit strange, because of the pair of huge black wings on his back, but he was dressed very noblely, and his human youth's face was very delicate and handsome.

You can't tell their age just from their appearance, because unlike humans, they don't age.

After he turned into a human form, he squatted down halfway, and his eyes fell unconsciously on Xue'e's face.

She slept deeply, her breathing was shallow, she seemed to have dreamed of something happy, the corners of her lips curled up, with a satisfied smile.

The content of his time with her during this period quickly flashed through his mind, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of the words Xue'e confided to himself not long ago, on the same night.

Such a naive woman seems to have a kindness that doesn't match her strength. Just by this, one can predict the dangerous situation she may encounter in the future.

...However, these things are about to have nothing to do with him.

He took a last deep look at Xue Hui, and when he was about to step out, he felt a hand tightly grasping his sleeve.

He felt that his beating heart seemed to stop for a moment.

The woman's hand felt warm and soft.

Just when he thought Xue'e woke up, he saw that peaceful sleeping face, as if she just subconsciously reached out and grabbed something at random.

Daitengu was silent for a moment, he stared at Xue'e's hand grabbing his sleeve, keeping such movements motionless.

Then, she seemed to feel uncomfortable in this position, and let go of her hand.

Ootengu couldn't describe where the feeling of loss in his heart came from, but this was indeed the first time he had such a feeling of loss.

But perhaps more because of this, he wanted to get rid of this redundant emotion.

So when the sun was approaching, he finally left.

The consequence of Daitengu leaving without saying a word is probably that Yukie was very angry.

When she fell asleep, she found that the big tengu was gone, and she searched all corners but found no trace of him-although she had a certain premonition when she woke up.

What is angry is not only Ootengu's behavior, but even more angry that she let the task object go without noticing. She decided to stay vigilant even when she was sleeping in the future.

Of course, she was more concerned about that issue——

"Sure enough, Dabai really hates me, right? Otherwise, why would he leave secretly?"

Seeing her somewhat tangled expression, Yingcao comforted her: "Master Yukie, maybe Dabai will be back in a few days...?" Of course, she herself did not believe it.

"I'm very worried, whether it will be bullied by other monsters like that." She sighed.

Xiaobai flicked his tail, although he really wanted to say that although that guy Dabai looked weak, the truth might be different from what they thought.

Of course, she didn't have the heart to worry about the Ootengu anymore, because on this day, she received a letter from Heianjing.
