[Shaoyin] like a short-lived epiphyllum

I am really careless,

I thought that Ling Shou could be subdued, but I didn't expect that there was a Raksha hidden in Cheng Ya's body. It would be great if I paid more attention to it.However, at least Zhang Zi is safe now, and that is enough.

——"Come back safely."

did something that broke your heart.

I obviously don't want you to worry so much.

The girl who was swallowed by Rakshasa opened her eyes without focus. The golden animal pupils were full of guilt and relief. She felt guilty that she had caused the boy she cherished to be injured and sad, and she was relieved that nothing happened to the girl.The power of Tianhu and the divine power left in her body by Amaterasu, and Lingshou's blood and hair that sneaked into her body, they collided with each other and made her very uncomfortable.

For some unknown reason, Ling Shou's power protected her from being completely devoured by the Raksha bird. It was obviously superfluous, but with her own ability, she was confident enough to let her go back, even if it was a price to pay.

Ahh, it's really hard.

The girl coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her hair gradually began to change.Her long straight hair, which was as black as the night sky, gradually turned white, and there was a fiery red mark looming somewhere under the corner of her eyes, as if she was about to explode with some power, she closed her eyes as she clenched her fists tightly.

At this moment, the blood of the sky fox on his body suddenly calmed down, and the pain on his body disappeared as if it had never existed.The scene she saw when she opened her eyes made the tears she had been holding back flow across the corners of her eyes and drip onto the skirt of her clothes.

Flickering around like a firefly, her hand was gently held, and the fluorescent light began to gather bit by bit, gradually forming a figure, and no matter how many years passed, she would never forget the existence of this figure.Long white hair as pure as snow, ice blue eyes as clear as the sky, and those familiar features are unforgettable.

"Why... are you doing this?"

She didn't speak, just smiled.

"Why……!!"

The girl wept and increased the strength in her hands.The hands that were obviously so warm, but now they were so hot that she was afraid.

"Then, everything I do... is for what?"

She let go of her hands, turned to hold her in her arms, and kept stroking her long hair.It seemed to be telling her, it's okay, it's okay, don't worry.But even if she didn't believe it, the heavy eyelids were telling her, go to sleep, it's over when you wake up.

>>>

Seeing the fluorescent light echoing faintly around, Zhang Zi sighed while lying in the quilt.Her whole body felt like being bitten by something, and it hurt so badly that she couldn't make a sound, but this couldn't be discovered, she had to hold back.He sat up slowly, and when he was about to stand up, he fell back because of dizziness.

"What's wrong?"

Because Xue Ling transformed into the appearance of the official Ayako, she walked in from the corridor naturally.It seems that because too many things have happened recently, she has not changed back to that cute appearance, and has been guarding her nearby in a human form.

"It's nothing, Ayako hasn't come back yet?"

Seeing Xue Ling's dodging eyes, she didn't say anything, but silently asked Xue Ling to call the maid to come in and change her clothes.I can't lie down anymore, if I lie down again, I will find abnormalities on my body, so I have to be patient.At least she doesn't have to endure these pains, at least she has experienced it before, hasn't she?

Deep in her memory, before going to that shrine, she had—

Pain experienced.

After Xue Ling went out, Zhang Zi covered her mouth and coughed, her eyes darkened when she saw the bright red color on her hand.

——"I can give you this technique, but this technique will double your pain. Even so, do you still want to learn it?"

Even so.

The strange monk's voice echoed in his head.That voice was a moan of hatred, a growl of resentment, and a sob of pain.

There is also a growl of joy after achieving something.

"Turn your wishes into reality. 』

"Make it happen. 』

"Stupid, these are the things you want. 』

Shut up, please.

If this wish will make her important person suffer, I don't want it, I don't want to realize it.If this wish is for you to come out, I—

As if never thought of it.

There was never such a wish, it was just your illusion.

Can also be used as...

The person he likes is not me.

"Is it really all right?"

A familiar voice came from next to his ear, and Zhang Zi realized that he was sitting back again. Was he too engrossed in thinking, and he didn't notice it.

"Nothing, just a little dizzy, nothing serious."

Today is the day to summon the Onmyoji, in order to remove the filth from her body.

"How about letting them come back another day?"

"No way."

Because her illness was not fully recovered due to the relationship with the alien, as long as the filth around her was removed, her body would be healthy.Those people all agreed so, so in order not to complicate the situation, she could not refuse the onmyoji who came this time anyway.

Seeing Zhang Zi's firm expression, Xue Ling thought that the reason for her pale skin was that she had not fully recovered from her illness, so she nodded.But it felt like something, the nails on his hands grew unexpectedly fast, becoming sharp and long as if they could cut off anything.

"What are you doing here?"

The veil was lifted, revealing the cowering ghosts, who seemed to feel the threat from Xue Ling trembling.

"I, we originally planned to go to the grandson's house to find His Highness."

"But I was surprised to hear from my grandson that His Highness has returned."

"So let's take a look."

Hearing what the three miscellaneous ghosts said, Xue Ling also withdrew her demon power, and as soon as she withdrew her demon power, her long and sharp nails returned to their original appearance.

"Is it because your highness is not used to living there?"

"No, I'd love to go back, but..."

"Then why didn't His Highness let the princess come?"

"That's right, that's right, the two of them look so much alike."

Hearing what they didn't understand the truth, Xue Ling laughed out loud.

"There are so many crazy ideas, you guys. But this plan has already been tried, so don't even think about it."

"Ok……"

"But, what do you want from me?"

Zhang Zi blinked and asked.

"correct!"

"Because the ape ghost and the one-horned ghost have names, I'm very envious. Give me a name, Your Highness!"

"We are very happy to be able to give us a name. So, if it is convenient for you to enter the palace, please give it a name."

Looking at the expectant eyes of the lizard monster, Zhang Zi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile after thinking for a while.

"Is that so... Since you are a lizard demon, I will call you a dragon ghost."

Hearing this name, as if it had been given something, the three eyes of Dragon Ghost opened wide, and then laughed with a very joyful expression.

"Hahahaha! I also have a name, I am a dragon ghost!"

The ape ghosts and one-horned ghosts on both sides also came to congratulate.

A name is very important, and it must not be told to anyone easily.

When he was a child, he was obviously only one year older than her, but he pulled her to sit in the corridor frowning and said very maturely.That scene seemed to be just yesterday, making Zhang Zi's heart twitch.

"Okay, okay, now that you got the name, let's go back quickly. There will be an onmyoji coming over later, be careful of being taken away."

When the ghosts heard what Xue Ling said, they gave up and jumped up.

"Then, Your Highness, let's go first!"

"Come to play with you another day!"

"If you feel lonely, you can call us!"

It's lonely not being able to hear the noisy voices, Zhang Zi thought so when he watched them go.

"Then I'll go get ready, and call me if you still feel uncomfortable. Anyway, the person hasn't come yet, so let's rest first."

Zhang Zi nodded slightly, and fell back on the mattress unbearably after Xue Ling walked out of the curtain.Clutching his chest, Zhang Zi let out a long breath and almost couldn't help it.

no problem.

Wait for the Onmyoji to come, so you can temporarily buffer it.In this way, even if it enters the inside of one, there will be no problem at all.Touching the agate jewelry on his left wrist, Zhang Zi closed his eyes.

I'm fine.

Because it's an agreement.

So if you can feel at ease, all the better.

>>>

"Sure enough, I fell asleep."

After finishing the matter, Xue Ling smiled helplessly at Zhang Zi, who had his eyes closed and was breathing evenly.

"Obviously you don't have to force yourself so much."

There was a pale pink light shining on the chest, and a cute villain came out from Zhang Zi's skirt. She flapped her wings and flew closer to Zhang Zi, and then began to emit a pale pink light.

"Musakura, how is the injury?"

"Thanks to you, it's almost done. But I was scolded by Brother Yan once inside."

Liu Ying blamed herself and looked at the master who was close in front of her eyes, her pale pink eyes were shining with transparent things.It would have been nice if she recovered her condition earlier that day, so that Mr. Zhang would not have to endure those pains. These were all her faults, and she couldn't do anything.

"...When the onmyoji will come over, you can just make your own."

"Yes."

The summer breeze blows gently.Today is a long-lost sunny day, the sun shines straight down, and the flowers planted for her by the priest outside the courtyard are in full bloom.

By the way, that child seems to have made an agreement like this.

The fireflies in Guichuan will take Zhang Zi to see them.

Will it really happen?

Looking at the three people headed by Dr. Yin Yang who came over, Xue Ling retracted those negative emotions and greeted them with a smile. After saying a few words to the maid on the side, she turned to look at the three people standing by the side, and then made a please Gesture to go in.

"Sure enough, you guys came here."

"Haha, you don't welcome us that much?"

Xue Ling sighed, and patted Cheng Qin's head lightly.

"It's so big, I still don't know how to restrain myself."

"Sorry, forgot."

With those two sentences, Xue Ling didn't know what to say to him.

"Where's the lady next to Nakamiya?"

After all, they are still in the Tuyumen Palace, in case there are other people around, they try not to call out that name here.

"There are some reasons, it's better not to know."

After Xue Ling took them to the opposite side of Yulian, they also prepared to start the prayer ceremony for purification.Xue Ling used her ability to look at Zhang Zi who was sleeping soundly inside the curtain, and exhaled quietly.Then waited for Chang Hao who came over not long after, nodded to him and continued to listen to the purification prayers.

"Aren't you going to see her?"

Now the female officer next to Zhang Zi is someone they are familiar with, so it will be very convenient if they want to go in and have a look.After all, those three people were just putting on a show, and they came here to protect them so that they don't have to worry.

Chang Hao looked at the curtain and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"no need."

He didn't have the face to meet her, he had clearly agreed to protect her, but he let her be arrested that night.Although he knew that the girl who was devoured was not her, the feeling of self-blame couldn't make him speak to her.Because she didn't have time, her most important person replaced her, so she can come back here.

"Besides, if you suddenly appeared, Demon Lord, Zhang Zi might laugh out loud."

"She's not like you."

"what……"

Just when Chang Hao was about to refute the Demon King's words, a sharp cry suddenly reached his ears.

Chang Hao immediately looked up to the sky.

"Just now was that...?"

Xue Ling seemed to sense it too, frowning and looking up.The sun suddenly disappeared, as if it was covered by the shadow of the bird, preventing the married couple who wanted to come out of the house, Xue Ling changed back to her original appearance.

"Don't come out! You continue to protect Zhang Zi!"

Seeing that Changhao didn't bother to put on his shoes, he went into the yard barefoot and pointed to the sky with his hands in seals.Xue Ling also jumped to the roof, looking at the belly of the Raksha bird, she frowned fiercely, and listened to his roar in disgust.

"Ayako, have you...failed?"

The head in the abdomen kept turning, and the resentment of killing the Fujiwara clan came from inside intermittently, Xue Ling said a few words in a low voice.Whether it's for Akiko or Ayako, no one in the Fujiwara clan will be hurt!The number of foxfires in his hands continued to increase, and Xue Ling opened the golden animal pupils.

"Even if it kills you, Ayako."

>>>

Zhang Zi, who was startled awake by the roar of the raksha bird, covered his chest in cold sweat.Ayako was nearby, she clearly felt her presence, seeing Liuying's flustered expression, Zhangzi stretched out his hand to comfort her.

"Master Zhangzi, your body..."

"Shh... don't tell anyone about this."

Sure enough, Xue Ling was still worried while she was asleep.But seeing Liu Ying whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Zhang Zi also felt relieved.

"If Xue Ling asks, just say it's just ordinary fatigue."

"But...that's not...!"

Tiring is so simple!

Zhang Zi stopped what she was going to say next, and let her continue to buffer her some pain. After seeing the young man struggling in the courtyard, she clutched the clothes on her chest.

It's okay, it's okay.

The fluorescence became darker and darker. When Zhang Zi watched the covered sunlight show up again, she knew that the raksha bird that swallowed Ayako had hidden her tracks.I don't know where it is hiding, no matter how I look for it, I can't find its location.

"... Zhangzi, do you still feel unwell?"

Xue Ling, who returned to the dormitory, looked at Zhang Zi who was already sitting on the quilt, and knew that the roar just woke her up in her sleep.

"I said it's fine, and Liuying also said that I'm just ordinary tired. Xueling, you..."

The obviously false smile made Xue Ling frown. She would not expose Zhang Zi's lie, because she would be angry if she did.But it will be impossible for Liu Ying to tell the truth in the future, Zhang Zi must have ordered her not to tell the truth.

"Really, do you want to have a few words with Changhao?"

Zhang Zi blinked, and when he was about to shake his head, Xue Ling had already gone out and asked Chang Hao to come in.

She opened her eyes wide and didn't have time to react, she hasn't said anything yet!

Zhang Zi hurriedly lowered his head, listening to the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, he didn't know what expression to greet him with.

"Are you all right?"

A familiar voice from the opposite side made Zhang Zi close her eyes, she nodded but never dared to look up at him.

Looking at Zhang Zi like this, Chang Hao felt some unspeakable emotions welling up in his heart.That feeling filled his chest, it was very painful, and he had many things to say to the girl in front of him.That was the longing, the pain and his helplessness when she was not around...

"Since there's nothing wrong..."

When Chang Hao was about to stand up, his sleeve was pulled by a light force, and he looked down at Zhang Zi.The agate jewelry on Zhang Zi's wrist faintly made him stunned for a moment, then he half-knelt on the ground and stroked his pale and thin hand.

"It's okay, I'll protect you."

After hearing this sentence, Zhang Zi's breathing stopped suddenly, and a fierce light flickered in his dilated pupils.She clasped that hand back with five fingers crossed, raised her head and smiled, even though warm tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"I... it's fine."

I have heard you say that before, so I have always believed it.

I kept saying silently in my heart, no problem, no problem.

His chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak. After taking a few deep breaths, Changhao desperately squeezed out a response from his throat.

"Well...I will——always protect you..."

The agreement is made, and it will not be changed in the whole life, because this is the agreement made to you by blocking your life.

Pressing his forehead against his, Zhang Zi narrowed his eyes and whispered happily.

"--I trust you."

After saying this, she passed out in his arms like a doll off the thread, which frightened Changhao again, and she couldn't be called no matter how much he called.Xue Ling and Mojun in the corridor were frightened by Chang Hao's cry for help, and hurried back inside the curtain, looking at Zhang Zi who had passed out in Chang Hao's arms.

Xue Ling questioned Liu Ying without saying a word.

"Master Zhang Zi won't let me speak."

"What time is it already, tell me quickly!"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Ying told Xue Ling everything, whether it was the method that Zhang Zi secretly went to the expensive ship to ask Gao Longshen, or the matter of silently bearing all the pain and curse of Ayako alone.

"no, I can not……"

Chang Hao tremblingly caressed Zhang Zi's pale cheek.

Everything Liu Ying said was a lie, right?

Please, wake up and refute, Zhang Zi...

I beg you.

Tears fell on Zhang Zi's cheeks, and Chang Hao cried out in a low voice.He finally let Zhang Zi bear the pain, and the trace of luck that existed in his heart was also wiped out at this moment.

——After praying, I will welcome Zhonggong back to a palace early tomorrow morning.

Xue Ling told him in the courtyard that neither the emperor nor the priest could wait any longer, and he was afraid that there would be another accident if this went on.

So it's finally time for them... parting time, right?Although he had this premonition long ago, he failed to protect her well at this last moment.Same as that time, always catch up half a beat, always catch up when you hurt and hurt.

sorry……

If you can wake up, I will take you back.

Thinking of the room where the Raksha bird was found at that time, and thinking of all the things that happened in the past, Changhao couldn't stop his tears.

No matter what method, as long as you wake up——

I will take you back.

Take you away.
