[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

16# west of the sun

When Yuro Hanakain arrived at the xx mall, she saw Erica Futekoji chatting with Seijuro Akashi. The girl raised her face, with deep dimples on her cheeks, and a sweet smile.

Youluo stopped in her tracks, wondering whether she should go or not.

Although he and Di Xiaolu Erica are considered friends, Yuluo Huakaiyuan has always been unable to understand this person.

Although she always seems to be smiling, Yuluo has carefully observed that Erica's lips are naturally upturned at the corners of her lips, even if she is not smiling, it seems to be smiling, so if she does not show those dimples, It was hard to tell if she was smiling or not.

Upon discovering this, Yura realizes that although Erika appears innocent and sweet most of the time, it's actually hard to tell if she's really happy.

Plus what happened half a month ago... Youluo felt that he really didn't know this friend at all.

The home economics teacher that day asked everyone to try making cakes. Yuluo saw that the finished products made by Erica were very delicate and lovely, so she wanted to try them.

"Can I have a taste?"

After Yura asked, Erika held up the cake with a smile, and tilted her head cutely.

"No."

"……Eh?"

Before Yuluo could react, Erica had already let go of her hand, letting the plate of cake fall straight down, and hit the kitchen scraps in the trash can, falling to pieces.

And Erika still had an innocent and charming smile on her face.

"Because I'm dirty."

Youluo couldn't help but widen her eyes, seeing the girl in front of her smiling as usual, she felt a chill down her spine for no reason.Erica's eyes moved to the trash can, the dimples on her cheeks deepened, her eyebrows and eyes curved.

"This is where it should go. How can such a dirty thing be eaten by others."

"...where is it dirty..."

Erica tilted her head in confusion, and looked at Yuluo Huakaiyuan in confusion, as if she didn't understand why she would ask such a question.

"Because I made it, it must be dirty."

She smiled and took Yuluo's arm, leaned her head towards it and rubbed it, and elongated the ending sound coquettishly.

"I know there is a great cake shop, let's go together after school ~ let's go together~~~"

……

Yuluo ended the memories.Erika had already seen her, stopped talking with Akashi, and waved her vigorously.

"Pomelo sauce, here, here!"

Akashi Seijuro nodded at Hanakain Yura, and turned to look at Erika Futekoji. On his handsome face, there was a gloomy coolness in the golden and red pupils of different colors.

"Let's stop here today, that matter... I hope you can think about it carefully."

"Don't think about it, Zheng-chan."

Erika smiled without any haze, put her hands behind her back, and winked playfully at Akashi.The immature baby face is sweet and cute, full of childishness.

"The Akashi family should start making preparations now. Within a month, Erica will give you a satisfactory answer."

Akashi Seijuro frowned slightly, his cold and majestic eyes softened a little, he stared at Erica, there were some complicated meanings in his eyes.

"You'd better think about it again, don't do things that you will regret."

"No." Erica smiled and rolled her eyes, "There is nothing to regret. Since Mana's death... I have nothing to be afraid of."

The dimples on her cheeks were deeper, she nodded goodbye to Akashi, turned around and walked towards Yura, and took her arm intimately.

"Let's go, Yuluo sauce."

***

"What did Akashi-san tell you just now?"

"Well, it's a small matter. Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not too difficult to solve."

Erica puts her hands behind her back, jumping up and down on the grid on the sidewalk. She is wearing a Beijing red-dyed yukata today. The iris-patterned Nishijin woven belt is tied into a library knot. Layers of flowers are dyed on the On the light red cloth, it was as exquisite as a fine painting.The yukata in Kyoto is different from the yukata in Tokyo, and is more similar to a formal kimono.Her pink hair was coiled up, and she wore a beautiful silk flower pin.The sleeves fluttered with her movements, like butterfly wings.

The sun shines through the branches and leaves of the street trees, casting light spots of different shapes on her sleeves, making the flowers appear more and more alive as if they are about to fall from the sleeves, dancing with her movements.Youluo couldn't help but be attracted by the sleeves, but Erika stopped suddenly, looking at Youluo in Huakaiyuan with wine red eyes.

"The family of Huakaiyuan is a family of onmyojis, right?"

The sun fell on Erica's face, making her skin almost transparent, but her eyes became darker, and a cold fire ignited in the depths of her eyes, scorching hot.

"So, is there a way to see the dead?"

The flowers bloomed and Yuluo was speechless, and Erika grabbed her shoulders with such force that it hurt her.

"Since you are an onmyoji, Yuluo must know how to call back souls, right?" Erica's eyes lit up surprisingly, "It doesn't matter how much money, whatever the price—please, even if it's a ghost, I want to See her again!"

Youluo was in pain, and broke away from Erica's hand, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head in pain.

"...Sorry, Erica, recalling the dead from beyond is an absolute taboo. Disturbing the peace of the dead...is not allowed."

Erica was still staring at Youluo for a moment, as if confirming from Youluo's expression that the matter was irreversible, her eyes dimmed little by little, she staggered back a step, and clenched her hands handbags.

"I just want to see her again...isn't that okay?"

She gripped so hard that the bracelet hurt her hand.

"Is this not allowed?"

the same moment.

With both hands, he stripped the blue lotus bracelet from the girl's wrist, and threw it into the box casually.The red-haired man forcefully lifted the girl's chin, and began to size her up wantonly.

"This is Nuliang Rikusheng's woman?" His eyes swept across the unconscious girl's body unscrupulously, "She doesn't look very good. The figure is too bad, and the chest is almost flat."

Pushing the girl to the ground casually, the red-haired man sneered at the subordinate who was holding the box.

"Send this thing to the leader of the Nuliang group, and tell him to come here alone if he wants to save his own woman." The man glanced at the strong girl who was tied up with contemptuous eyes, "How dare you fall in love with this girl?" A kind of spirit without any spiritual power... Should I say that the Nuliang family are all lovers, or do they all like to seek their own death?"

"He's not afraid of killing her directly."
