Chapter 43: Going Out
Ever since Ebisu said that he was going to the market in Takamagahara, Natsume has become very active, urging Ebisu to let him hurry up, Ebisu has a good temper and smiles, "Okay, okay, little fox, I'll be fine right away, don't rush, let's leave immediately." He controlled the flow of water on his body, so that the water automatically fell back into the bath when he climbed the stairs from the bath, and there was no trace of water droplets or moisture on his body, and even the bath towel that had been around his waist was completely dry. Holding Natsume, he walked directly into the previous dressing room, took out a white casual sleeve with blue wavy patterns and sea bream from the closet, and wore it loosely on his body, adding a bohemian color to Ebisu, and his long hair that had just been washed was soft and shiny, and it was not tied up casually, scattered on his shoulders, flowing and very individual. In such a costume, Ebisu hugged the soft and cute Natsume, like a noble son of a great aristocratic family in ancient times, although lazy but full of extravagance.
After changing her clothes, Ebisu will take Natsume out with her, and she will go out with a white purse embroidered with gold thread and hanging it on the belt around her waist. Natsume suddenly remembered when Ebisu tied a purse around his waist, "I have seen this symbol of the great judgment before, and when I was in the demon world, my father said that it was the symbol of the money village Tianshou opened by Ebisu, the god of wealth, no wonder I looked so familiar, and my mother seemed to have said that this Ebisu was my uncle." Will this purse embroidered with a big sentence be related to Ebisu? Wait, purse? Natsume always felt as if he had forgotten something, and he looked down in thought, "Ah, my omamori and my backpack are gone," and struggled from Ebisu's arms to run towards the previous dressing room, and it seemed that they had been put in the dressing room when I took a shower, but I had to get it back, but it contained all my belongings.
Ebisu was also surprised by Natsume's movements, squatted down and put Natsume on the ground, Natsume just ran to the dressing room as soon as he landed, and he never expected that the soles of his feet were smooth marble floors, and the ground near the bathroom was dyed with a layer of moisture, making the marble floor smoother, and the small plum blossom pads on his four feet did not have much friction, but in the blink of an eye, he once again turned into a hair ball and rolled forward, until he hit the luxurious wooden door of the bathroom before stopping. Ebisu walked forward quickly and hugged Natsume, who was bumped into everything, into his arms, feeling distressed: "It's okay, little fox, you can't be pretending to be stupid!" It's okay to pretend to be stupid, I'll raise you. In order to avoid being fooled, Natsume had to endure the dizziness of his head and screamed weakly to prove that he was just a little dizzy and not a fool.
After discovering that Natsume was not a big deal, Ebisu reached out to help Natsume rub his dizzy head and asked, "Say, what do you want to do?" You're here to tell me to help you. Natsume raised his paw and pointed in the direction of the bathroom dressing room, Ebisu immediately raised his long legs and returned to the bathroom dressing room, picking up the omamori and backpack that Natsume had been thinking about, and Natsume nodded with satisfaction.
When he set off again, nothing special happened, pushing open the last gorgeous door of the house, Natsume was shocked again, and walked out of the door, not the imaginary solid land, but the curtain of water, this is a house built on the water like the mansion, the difference is that this is a typical medieval Gothic-style castle, this luxurious castle is built on the water and surrounded by a curtain of water pouring into the sky. This Gothic castle is light and agile, tall and straight, and its tall, straight and pointed shape has a strong upward trend. The towers are mostly pointed, and the skeleton adopts curved rib arches to extend upwards, and then uses pointed arches to make its span free in size. The most unique and charming part of the whole building is that there are almost no walls in the interior of the castle, and between the skeletons of the building are tall and large windows, and the round stained windows and stained glass mosaics are the composition of the windows, making the whole castle almost a transparent body.
The stained glass mosaics on the windows shine through the layers of water curtains of Takamagahara, giving the castle a variety of colored light, and it feels like walking into a rainbow when you walk into the castle on a sunny day. The light passing through the water curtain tends to be soft when the sun is shining, and on dark and deep days, the light of the castle continues to shine through the refraction of the water curtain. The wonderful thing is that the light passes through the water to form a path of light, and the creatures in the water swim freely in it without hindrance, without being affected by the water at all, only to see them swimming slowly and leisurely in it, and when the light enters the stained glass mosaic, there is no expected head-to-head collision, but a ripple on the stained glass mosaic and then disappears. Although Natsume had experienced a lot of winds and waves during this time, and had been changed by the things of the Demon Realm and Takamagahara, he was still surprised by this unusual scene, as if he hadn't seen these fish in that castle before. It's not just surprise but also indulged in it.,No matter what, Natsume is still a child.,The child's curiosity is extremely strong.,Can't stand stretching out his claws to catch a small jellyfish passing by his paw.,The defenseless jellyfish was naturally caught in the claws by Natsume.,Carefully look at it for a moment and silently find that this is really a real jellyfish.。 The jellyfish that had been caught in his claws became impatient, and suddenly stretched his body and slapped it on Natsume's face. Natsume was stunned and stood in place, and the claws that caught the jellyfish were also released, and the jellyfish that was held by Natsume stretched out and disappeared immediately along the light.
If the incoming light is a forest path where water creatures walk, then the rainbow formed by the refraction of the diffuse water vapor is the highway in it. The abundant water vapor and abundant light create countless rainbows around the castle, which are large and small, long and short, wide and narrow, crisscrossing the space to form a complex transportation network. Rainbows and light make up the communication of aquatic life, which is not much different from the human world.
Ebisu smiled at Natsume, who had been stunned, and leaned down to pick up Natsume, "Okay, we're leaving, if you want to see it, we'll let you play with them when we come back later." ”
The place where Natsume now stands is a marble platform extending from the castle, unlike the smooth marble floor in the castle, although it is also paved with marble, this platform still looks rough and uneven, and the worn moss on it reveals the vicissitudes of history.
