Shuten-douji fell in love with a human woman.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, when he thought of that girl's face, it was as if he had met his favorite fine wine, and the blood in his whole body boiled instantly.

He followed the girl in a strange way, because he subconsciously hid, the girl who was obviously in a good mood didn't notice him hiding not far away, so she hummed along the way and walked briskly back home.

"Hongye, why did you come back so late?"

"I'm sorry, my lord..."

He could no longer hear the following words, he only knew that he had heard the name of the human woman.

Her name is Hongye.

What a beautiful name!Just like herself, she is blooming enthusiastically, burning with endless vitality.

Red leaves, red leaves...

He murmured the name silently in his heart, as if he would be satisfied just by doing so.

He leaned against the tree, quietly watching the misty moonlight, and drank all night.

I used to be alone, but I never felt lonely, but on this night, Shuten-douji felt the kind of loneliness that went deep into the bone marrow for the first time in a long time.

It is not the loneliness of being invincible in height and invincible, but the loneliness of suddenly discovering that one is always alone, walking alone, and has never had a person who can accompany him.

Once you have tasted this taste, you will never want to have it again.

Then the next day, he still followed Hongye as if possessed by a demon. Although he felt that his behavior was very unbearable, he did not give up.

But he only dared to look at her from a distance, did not dare to do anything, and did not dare to take a step closer to her.

Shuten-doji, who had the courage to go anywhere, suddenly felt like a coward. He couldn't even strike up a conversation even though his beloved woman was right in front of him.

Obviously he has done this kind of thing thousands of times before, so he should be very familiar with it, but when he met those bright eyes, he couldn't say anything.

He wandered around the door of Hongye's hairpin shop boredly, with an irritable and depressed expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking of. He raised his foot angrily and kicked towards the big tree at the door. The passing civilians saw this The young man behaved a little strangely, and they all muttered something in their mouths, consciously distanced themselves from this person.

Jiu Tun directly ignored the sick eyes of the people around him, frowned tightly, and secretly made a decision.

At some point in his hand, a maple leaf appeared—in this late spring, the leaves of the maple tree had not yet started to turn red.But the maple leaf in his hand was as gorgeous as fresh blood.

This is what he condensed with demon power.

For some reason, he felt that giving red leaves any precious gold and silver jewelry seemed very unsuitable. That clean and beautiful girl seemed to be matched only by beautiful red maple leaves, a product of nature.

The bright red maple leaf was held tightly in his hand, as if realizing that he was using too much force, he relaxed a little.But my heart still kept beating.

Such a self is really stupid.

He said sarcastically in his heart, he mustered up his courage, and finally approached that beautiful girl.

Hongye raised her head and saw this handsome young man, she wondered why when he suddenly ran in, the other party had a tense face and forced something to her.

"...This maple leaf is very similar to you, Miss Hongye."

Hongye's eyes widened, but in the blink of an eye, the boy disappeared.She spread out her palm in doubt, but saw a maple leaf as red as a flame.

She has liked maple leaves since she was a child, because in autumn, the beautiful and burning colors flying all over the sky are very touching.Sometimes, she feels that she is as free as the red maple fluttering in the wind, without any worries, and nothing can restrain her.

Probably some boy who admired her.

Hongye is used to this kind of thing, but when she was about to put it in a random place, she couldn't help but glance at it.

The red maple leaf lay quietly in the palm of the hand, its red color seemed to be full of vitality, and this unusual maple leaf was actually shining with light.

very special.

Hongye thought about it, so she put it away carefully.

Shuten is still following Hongye, he seems to have not found a way to further his relationship with this girl, but he has been thinking about this problem very distressed all day long.

But an uninvited guest came and broke his stalking career. This guy is Ibaraki Doji.

This little monster with horns on its head...

He gritted his teeth and looked at Ibaraki Doji in front of him, and said very displeasedly: "Hey, you guy, what do you want to do with me?"

Ibaraki-douji didn't care about his bad attitude at all, but asked very seriously, "Are you Shuten-douji?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone that made Jiu Tun laugh instead of anger, folded his arms and said, "That's right, my uncle is Jiu Tun-douji."

Immediately, Ibaraki Doji felt the powerful coercion on the opponent, which made him excited, his eyes lit up and said: "Finally found you!"

Jiu Tun-douji looked confused: "Huh? What did you say?"

"Shuten-douji, the king of the ghost clan—" Ibaraki-douji subconsciously raised his voice with a turbulent fighting spirit all over his body. "Let me feel whether you are as strong as the legend!"

"..."

Faced with such a straightforward provocation, Shuten-douji would naturally not refuse, but he was a little uneasy, as if he had gotten into some trouble.

And the most important thing is that because of this guy who was pestering him, he lost Hongye!

...It's really disgusting, Ibaraki-douji.

But fortunately, Hongye didn't throw away the maple leaf he gave away, because that maple leaf is equivalent to a brand, as long as there is it, Shuten Doji can feel the exact location of Hongye at all times.

This relieved him a little.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, with a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes, and looked at Ibaraki Doji who had a strong fighting spirit in front of him.

But before that, he had to take care of this ignorant guy.

And on the third day in Qingming Mansion, Xue Hui saw the red leaves again.

Because of his more tactful request, Qingming kindly kept her. During this time, Yukie and Qingming learned a lot of onmyoji, and their understanding of spells became more profound.

Of course, these are not the only harvests, but the more I get along with Qingming, the more I feel that this man is really flawless.

In him, there doesn't seem to be a trace of human flaws, he is as peaceful as the sea, and his heart seems to be able to accommodate everything.

However, Seimei sometimes goes out because of the affairs of Yinyangliao, and Yukie, who has no actual position, has nothing to do. When she is bored, besides chatting with Ootengu, Seimei just looks for Seimei's cute shikigami.

However, chatting with Ootengu is purely talking to himself, Ootengu is as taciturn as Yaodao Ji, but unexpectedly he likes to hear her say things he doesn't understand by herself.

When he looked at her quietly with those blue eyes, Xue E always felt that her heartbeat missed a beat, so she always ended the topic hastily, and ran away as if to escape.

... Sure enough, there is still a little difference between Daitengu and Dabai.

Just when she walked to the door, she bumped into Hongye unexpectedly.

She saw that Hongye was still holding the basket she brought a few days ago, and instantly understood why she came, and smiled at her: "Miss Hongye, did you bring anything for Master Qingming today?"

Although Hongye is not the introverted and shy type, when Seimei is mentioned, she still blushes involuntarily: "It's some pastries I made recently."

But when she found that Qingming didn't seem to be there, she was a little disappointed. She pulled herself together and handed the basket in her hand to Xue'e, begging, "Miss Xue'e, please excuse me."

Yukie nodded with a smile, Hongye thanked her very sincerely and left Seimei's mansion.

It's just that when walking towards the inner room, something seemed to fall to the ground.

Xue Hui squatted down, but saw a maple leaf.

There is actually a line of poetry on the maple leaf - this heart is not seen by you, but you are willing to follow you forever.

Very beautiful waka.

Hongye probably wants to use this poem to express her affection for Seimei.

Xue Hui didn't know why, but suddenly wanted to sigh.

At this time, Seimei just came back from the outside.

It was drizzling outside today, so Seimei was also covered in damp moisture, and there were still tiny drops of rain on her snow-white hair.

Today, he didn't look relaxed and comfortable like before, but looked a little serious, and sat straight on the mat, and a waiter transformed into a shikigami who appeared from nowhere brought tea and put it on the table.

Xuehui was a little strange. Just as she was about to mention Hongye's visit, she heard Qingming say, "A big event happened in Beijing."

"what's up?"

"Minister Zuo's son died last night." Qingming said, "It wasn't an ordinary death, but he was deliberately stripped of his face and hung on the door beam."

"Not only that, but there are countless small cuts on his body. It must be because of this that he bleeds to death."

"Is this man-made?" Xue E shuddered, and felt the cruelty of the murderer just by hearing the way of death.

"If it's artificial, we can find clues." Qingming rubbed his temples with his hands. Although his expression was still calm, his helplessness could be felt from his tone. "This time, I'm afraid it's a monster again."

Xue Hui heard this and sat down next to him: "Even Master, you can't find the trace of that monster?"

Qingming sighed: "No, it's not that there is no trace, but that the monster is very cunning and cautious, and there is no trace of his aura left behind."

"However, although he deliberately erased all the traces, he didn't want the onmyojis to find him. But I always feel that this guy should appear again."

As soon as the two monsters, Youdao Ji and Daitengu, walked in, they saw Seimei and Yukie not talking, and the atmosphere was dignified.

It was the first time for Qingming to see a big tengu. He looked at the big monster with a calm expression. What surprised him was that this monster didn't have a trace of violence, but was very upright and peaceful.

When he saw Yaodao Ji for the first time, he was deeply impressed by the soaring murderous aura on the other party - most of such powerful monsters grew up from countless battles.

The big tengu, however, seemed a bit special.

And at this time, he finally discovered what was in the basket that Hongye brought.

Seeing Seimei holding the maple leaf, Yukie seemed to have a slightly moved expression on his face, sighed in his heart, turned around and saw Ootengu's eyes.

He was still looking at himself, his eyes were very focused, as if he couldn't see anything else in his eyes.

Time froze.

For some reason, Xuehui suddenly thought of the poem on the maple leaf——

You don't see this heart, willing to follow you forever.
