Chapter 18: Going to the Feast

His steps were light, as light and graceful as dancing, and Yagami Qi climbed the stairs, and the vermilion railings and cyan tiled buildings were getting closer and closer to him.

"Patriarch Otsuki, I'll ...... this time" Yagamiki, who was parallel to the patriarch of Otsuki, was about to speak, but Otsuki immediately stretched out his hand.

"Hey~" he said with a smile, "Today is the day of victory for our Great Barrel Wood Sect, and we will have a big banquet tonight." Wait until tomorrow for all matters. Our moon specialty, the silver moon fish. When it floats in the water, it resembles a moving crescent moon, hence the name. The sashimi made of its meat is extremely fresh, the meat is white, crystal like snow, and melts in your mouth, you are in a good mood!"

"Oh, and that ......"

Yagamiki's side, Otsuki Hazuki said enthusiastically. Yagami knew that he wanted to dry himself for a while. So, he put on a helpless face with a wry smile.

In the enthusiastic introduction of Otsuki Hasu, they quickly stepped up the stone steps and came to the threshold of the vermilion paint. Yagamiki estimated that it would take them about five minutes to complete the volley of stone steps.

"Someone!" With the greeting of Otsuki Hazuki, two girls who were about sixteen or seventeen years old walked in front of Yagamiki. They were dressed in plain white kimono robes with large barrels of wood, with long black hair draped over their shoulders and white brocade wrapped around their foreheads.

It is said that women should be pretty and filial, but the plain white kimono reflects the picturesque eyebrows and eyes of the girls, but it looks more and more pure.

It's the people who split up, and the white cloth wrapped around the heads of the two girls let Yagami know their identities. This war between the clan and the clan ended in a great victory for the clan due to his intervention, and the children of these clans will probably be slaves and maidservants for several generations.

"You bring Sasuke-sama to the guest room and serve it well. After speaking, the big barrel Mu Yuqi turned around and smiled apologetically: "The war has just ended, and there are still many affairs on the battlefield that I need to deal with." Sasuke, I'm out of company first. ”

After saying that, Otsuki Hasu walked down the steps he had just stepped on again. Yagamiki turned around and watched as he reached the middle of the stairs, the sleeves of his white kimono dancing in the wind.

"Let's go, take me to my room. Turning around, he said softly to the two maids who had been silent.

So, the two women lowered their eyes slightly, and after bowing their legs slightly, they slowly walked in front of Yagamiki. Yagami followed them, admiring with interest the openwork carvings on the wooden windows.

"How long have the Otsuki clan lived on the moon?" asked Yagamiki softly.

"One thousand three hundred and sixty-four and one hundred and twenty-three days, my lord. A woman in front of Yagami replied in a low voice.

"How do you remember so clearly?"

"Because our almanac began when our ancestors stepped on the moon"

"Oh? That's funny. And what about your festivals, will you celebrate the festivals of the earth?"

"Obon is celebrated, but we don't celebrate any other festival on earth. But there are festivals of our own on the moon, such as the Rain Festival, which commemorates the first rain on the moon. ”

Then the two girls whispered to Yagamiki about the festival on the moon. And after Yagamiki arrived in the room, he asked the two girls who had separated from the family to chat with him. Basically, he asked, and the girl who separated from the family answered.

And when Yagami Qi talks about the customs and customs of the earth, the white eyes of the two girls will twinkle.

It is the light that only flickers when the caged bird looks up at the blue sky.

Soon, the lantern at the door was lit by a tiptoeer, and the red light filled the room with the antique hollow carved windows.

Yagami Ki heard the faint sound of music coming from a distance, it was an instrument that Yagami had never heard before, and the timbre of one of the instruments was very similar to Xun, melodious, ethereal, but full of melancholy.

I forgot where I heard that phrase. Each instrument is born with its own destiny and character, like the erhu, whose melancholy and melancholy can only be understood by those who have suffered from the weather.

"Uchiha-sama, the banquet has begun. The patriarch wants the old slave to welcome you over," said the black shadow of the bowed floor in the red light.

Yagami stood up and looked at the two smiling girls in front of him.

"Aren't you going?"

The banquet didn't seem like a good thing for them. They raised their heads, barely smiled, their eyes hazy, and slowly shook their heads.

Yagami understood what was going on after a moment's thought. In normal times, these two girls from the divided family have a lower status at most, and may be required to sleep, but today is the day when the war between the clan and the clan is over, and no one knows what the people of the clan will do in the joy of hatred and victory.

"Stay in my room and tidy up for me. Do you have tea here, prepare a pot of strong tea for me, and probably drink a lot of wine tonight?"

"Yes!" the two girls lowered their heads, and in the shadow of their long hair, there was a relieved smile.

Although they got along for a short time, they felt that the handsome young man who was always smiling was a gentle person.
