Chaoying raised an onmyoji

In fact, Tony has always been a man who is not good at stripping his heart too much and sharing his feelings and thoughts with others.

He always felt that there was nothing to say about those words, as if as long as he opened his mouth, he was admitting defeat and betraying misery.He has always been this kind of person, accused by rumors of 'no heart', 'no evil, no deeds, no benevolence', he can also show an arrogant smile in front of the camera, and put all the expressions he doesn't want to show in his heart to fight against the golden red steel under clothes.

But fortunately, although Tony is not good at pouring out his heart, Gummy is a very qualified listener.

Children born of monsters and humans have an innate strong affinity since birth.Monsters and gods both pay a lot of attention to her, and subconsciously want to get close to her.

Under Sophia's quiet gaze, Tony, who was originally reluctant to speak, suddenly said a lot.He talked about his bad childhood; about his parents who died early, and about the box he got from Fury today.

"While he was alive, he never said he loved me;" Tony shrugged, pretending to be indifferent. "Of course, I didn't, either. I never said I loved him."

The relationship between father and son is always a big problem in the history of people's relationship.

After ending the natural adoration of their parents in childhood, many young people will fall into a long period of rebellion, constantly challenging the authority of their parents.

Maybe after this period of rebellion ends, the relationship between father and son can reach a reconciliation and tend to a calm state.

--'Maybe'.

After all, Tony has long since had no chance to experience and feel whether this guess is correct.There is no more chance.

"But it wasn't until today that I suddenly realized that he also once regarded me as proud."

— how ridiculous.

After Tony finished the long story, Sophia didn't speak for a long time.The studio fell into a long silence, only the sound of Tony and Little Gummy's heartbeat and breathing echoed in the room.

"Actually, I never knew what kind of people my parents were." After an unknown amount of time, Little Gummy's soft voice rang in Tony's ears.

"In Heianjing, falling in love between a human and a demon is a taboo that violates the destiny and cannot end well." Sophia said, rubbing her little head on Tony's shoulder, her long hair falling down gently across Tony's ear. "So not long after I was born, my parents passed away one after another because they violated the destiny."

The word 'Mandate of Heaven' sounds illusory, almost like a story deliberately made up by adults to deceive children.But in Heianjing, this word is the shackles that firmly imprison and restrain everyone and demons.

How many powerful demon spirits that were not born in the world have fallen because of a single fate.

Hearing what Sophia said, Tony was silent for a moment, and then asked hoarsely: "...Do you have any impression of them?"

"Actually, there is still a little." Little Gummy tilted his head and recalled it for a while before answering, "When I was very young, I grew up with the elders of my father's Onmyoji family. He once told me There are stories about my father."

——What Sophia didn't say is: Those stories are really only "some".

After Sophia's natural and powerful strength was discovered by the patriarch of the Onmyoji family, she lost her qualifications as a child forever, and instead became a...powerful 'secret weapon' carefully cultivated by the Onmyoji family.Weapons should have no feelings, let alone childhood.

It wasn't until the family had internal strife and Sophia was brought out by the girl who accidentally found her that she was able to escape from those pasts.

Although Sophia didn't say the cruelest things, the childhood experiences she told were enough to make Tony feel distressed.

Tony lowered his head and rubbed his chin against the furry top of Gummy's head.He sighed and softly called Sophia's name.Gently, over and over again, as if hoping that these voices could be transmitted to the past, to the ears of the little girl who was once lonely and suffering, and bring some comfort to Little Gummy.

"I don't want you to feel sorry for me, Tony." After feeling the sadness of her own human shikigami, Sophia turned around and raised her little arm, rubbed Tony's cheeks, and tried to pull Tony's face. With a smile, "I just want to tell you that when people are sad, they should express it."

"It seems that many humans feel that expressing emotions is something shameful and shameful," Sophia said while shaking her head seriously, "but I don't think so."

Gummy, who grew up in the world of monsters, like her family members with different personalities, has rich emotions and is good at expressing her feelings unabashedly.

"When I was young, the gods in charge of the night and hell once told me that although my parents have passed away, they have become little stars in the sky, looking at me in the sky."

"Hmm..." After saying this, Sophia wrinkled her nose in distress, "But now I'm in another time and space, and I don't know if my father and mother have come with me." —— What if the stars in the sky in this world are already full, and the two stars belonging to her parents can't stay in the sky.As Sophia thought about it, she decided in her heart that she had the opportunity to ask the Lord God this question.

Hearing Gummy's childish statement, Tony couldn't help but smile, "Do you believe this statement?"

——It seems that even if the times and countries change, there is no big difference in the skills of adults to coax children.Even the stories they make up are pretty much the same.Who will become a star after death, what lying child will be punished...

"I believe." Little Gummy replied firmly, "Even if they don't stay on the stars, they will definitely stay somewhere else to watch us."

Sophia lowered the hand that was originally on Tony's cheeks, and held Tony's hand instead. She continued softly, "Besides them, there are also many people watching us."

"Friends, lovers, and other family members."

"Family?" After hearing this word, Tony suddenly remembered the question he and Ethan asked him when they were still trapped in the cave.

That's when Ethan asked himself, 'Do you have family? ’ And he replied, ‘No. ’ So I also got the other party’s evaluation of ‘you have everything, but you have nothing’.

As if seeing what Tony was thinking, Sophia who was sitting in Tony's arms suddenly straightened up, looked at Tony seriously and said, "Yes, family."

"Just like me, it's your family."

Little Gummy's voice was still soft and sweet.The naturally good-natured little girl always seemed to be like this when she spoke, speaking in a slow voice, with sweetness and tenderness.But such a soft sentence made Tony feel deafened.

Tony looked at the little jellybean beside him, counted the other's peaceful breathing, and suddenly felt his heart stop beating for a moment.

——But it's just a 'feeling'.

Because in the next moment, the smart housekeeper broke the peace very disruptively, "Sir, I must remind you that your heartbeat is too fast now, far exceeding the level of normal healthy people. I suggest you control it."

"...Shut up!" Tony, who was so excited by Sophia's words that his heart beat faster, yelled at the smart housekeeper angrily after being exposed.

Seeing Tony's angry expression, Sophia pursed her lips, but finally couldn't hold back her laughter, "...Poof, hehe."

"...Don't laugh too!" Tony, who was so moved by the other party's words just now, pinched Little Gummy's face angrily, "Little villain!"

"Tony," the obedient Little Gummy would not resist being pinched by Tony.She maintained this posture, looking at each other with bright eyes, "We will always be family members."

Looking at the bright eyes of Little Gummy, Tony felt his heart become extremely soft in an instant.Tony felt that even if Little Gummy said that he wanted the stars and the moon in the sky, he would agree without hesitation.

"Of course, always will be."

Hearing Tony's answer, Sophia smiled even more happily, "Yeah!"

The little onmyoji didn't leave after enlightening his own human shikigami. Instead, he sat on a small children's chair in the workshop and watched the other party discover a new element that was more suitable for him than the palladium element according to his father Howard's prompt. .And by the way, he made improvements to the micro-reactor in his heart.

Although Sophia has temporarily calmed Tony's mood, Little Gummy still can't help worrying that the other party's emotions will be affected by what happened today again.

Her human shikigami are very fragile and must be cared for carefully.

With concern and concern for Tony, that night, Sophia and the smart housekeeper made an in-depth discussion and research on the issue of 'where do humans go when they are in a bad mood'.

A young half-demon and an intelligent AI - not normal human beings in any case - the result of them getting together to discuss 'human behavior' is:

"Tony! Steve! Let's go to the tech fair!"

After hearing Sophia's proposal at breakfast time, Tony almost couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes on the spot.

Sometimes he really can't understand the brain circuit of his own little gummy.

'... What kind of science and technology exhibition do you see? Are the people at the science and technology exhibition as good as me? '

Tony, who stood at the top of the industry and stood out from the crowd, Stark answered Sophia the second he finished complaining in his heart, "The one that will be held next Monday? Yes."

Slap on the face.
