24. "Alive" Nogi Hime

The ...... boy was still sitting on the stool as if he had been enchanted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Nogihime, who was on the side, watched the young man's actions and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

It's just that in a place where Nogi Hime's eyes can't be seen.

The back of the boy was completely wet with sweat.

【My God...... It's terrible......] The young man who pretended to be a demon thought to himself.

That's right, in fact, the moment the boy stepped into the wooden house, the boy had completely returned to normal.

If nothing else, the demonic aura that is so thick that it almost suffocates the teenager is the best awakening agent.

Just when the boy was about to be frightened by such a terrifying demonic aura and pulled out the knife, the ensuing Nogi Ji made him completely give up the urge to pull out the knife.

Terror.

In the boy's perception, he is not facing Nogi Hime, but an indescribable youkai.

The youkai dressed in the human skin of a beautiful woman, in the perception of the young man, can even see the rotten skeleton body under the human skin it wears.

As long as he keeps facing Nogi Hime, the young man's back is like being cut through thousands of cold knives, and it hurts from the cold.

It's not the half-bucket of water of Prajna's resentful spirit, but it's real

【Centennial Demon】

"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind? Nogi Ji said to the boy charmingly holding her chin, which made the boy shudder even more.

"Sister Nogi is so beautiful." The boy resisted his stomach as he spoke words of praise to the human-skinned skeleton.

Now that he has fallen into the home of this century-old demon, as long as Nogi Ji moves a thought, the boy will fall into an extreme life and death crisis.

The boy estimated that in this demonic wooden house, the odds of Nogi Ji and the boy were about 99:1

In other words, as soon as the boy showed the slightest sign that he was out of control, he was dead.

[You can only stabilize it first...... Steady ......] The young man said silently in his heart.

Nogi looked at the boy with a smile.

"Now, Mr. Smoke. Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you afraid that the monsters will catch you and eat you? Could it be that there is something important? Nogi Hime smiled and said the most terrifying words for the boy.

That letter about the bloody war between humans and ghosts!

[Exposed? The boy suddenly became nervous.

If the contents of this letter are detected by Nogi Hime...... Then not only is his life at risk. And more than 30 million living beings in Izumo will also be buried for him. At that time, the whole of Izumo will become a world of youkai......

The boy must find a way to fool around this.

[What to do......! Pregnant! The boy had a flash of inspiration.

The young man thought about it again and again, and finally replied out loud: "If Sister Nogi really wants to know, it's not impossible to ......."

"I'm helping a friend of mine deliver a letter to my family, and the content of this letter is very urgent. In order to be delivered in time, I had to risk walking at night......"

Sometimes, mixed truths and false words are more deceptive.

But words are not enough to deceive Nogi Hime.

So the boy made a more risky decision, and he took out the letter from his backpack about the bloody battle between humans and ghosts.

"This is a letter from my friend, and I promised him that it must be delivered to ...... within a month."

The boy is gambling, betting that Nogihime is not interested in such goosebumps.

Nogi Ji looked at the letter in the young man's hand, and said with interest: "Forget it, Sister Nogi, I'm not very interested in other people's family affairs. ”

【Success!】 The boy was relieved in his heart, but on the surface it still looked normal, and in a way, the boy was also very powerful.

"Home...... Is it? Nogi kept chewing on the word, muttering wistfully.

The lie of the young man just now evoked the memories of Nogi Hime.

The boy looked at Nogihime, not knowing what to say.

Wraiths are terrible. But if there is no tragedy in the world, where is the resentful spirit?

Hundred-year-old wraith, what a terrible name.

What kind of resentment will make Nogi Ji hate for a hundred years, and finally enter the realm of a hundred-year-old demon?

Nogi Ji held her chin with her hand and asked the boy, "Smoke-kun, how is your home?" ”

The boy was interrupted by Nogi Hime's cold words. The young man who came back to his senses said to Nogi Hime, "Home...... I don't have a home anymore. ”

Yes, the teenager is already homeless.

Nogi Ji was stunned, this was the first gaffe since I saw the boy.

"No home?" Nogi-hime's tone changed slightly.

The boy affirmed, "Yes, there is no home. My family is now ...... in a different world"

Nogi Hime mistakenly thinks that the boy's family has all passed away. In fact, the teenager's family is still alive, but what is the difference between it and leaving the world?

Two worlds apart, never to see each other again.

For the first time, I felt so tired.

Nogi Ji was a little surprised by the boy's answer, so she asked another question: "So, Fumi-kun." What kind of people do you think your parents were? ”

When the boy heard this, he shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Nogi Hime, who received an unexpected answer again, asked in surprise, "I don't know?" What does that mean? ”

Today's teenager has brought her a little more accidents than the previous decades combined.

The boy smiled bitterly: "I have amnesia." Now I don't even know what my parents look like or what their names are. ”

[Do you have to expose your scars......] The young man smiled bitterly.

It's lonely to live alone, without one......

Nogi Ji sighed, and before she knew it, Nogi Ji's killing intent towards the boy had also decreased a lot.

"You're strong. Even if it's a person, you have to live. No matter how lonely it is......" Nogi looked at the boy.

She said to the boy, "But aren't you tired of living like this?" Haven't you ever thought about dying? ”

When the boy heard this, he smiled.

"It's really tiring...... But I would never choose to die! The boy dismissed Nogihime's doubts with a positive attitude.

"No matter what situation you are in, you must not give up on survival! It's a matter of respect for yourself. That's what my parents want to see, too! ”

Nogi Hime was completely silent.

With Nogihime's silence, the boy felt that the feeling of being inserted into his back before was gone.

The demonic aura also slowly faded.

The cabin became quiet.

After a long time, Nogi Hime said loudly, "I used to be very similar to you. ”

"However, my choice may be a little different from you."

The boy chose to live strongly, while Nogi chose an easier way to escape - death.

Hate? Nogi doesn't know what she hates. Is it the parents who have driven themselves to their deaths? Or is it excessive doting on siblings?

No, none of these are any. Nogi loves her family very much. Her parents are also for her good, and there is nothing wrong with the love of her brothers and sisters.

Then, I guess I hate [my own escape]. Hating himself chose to run away.

Because of the escape, he turned into a monster in agony.

Because of the evasion, the parents also lost their daughter painfully.

Because of evasion......

But none of this has anything to do with Nogi Hime. A hundred years have passed, and all traces of the [Nogi Hime] who was once a human have been erased by time.

What is still alive now is the ferocious hundred-year-old spirit of Nogi Hime.

[Really...... I was disturbed to eat......] Nogi thought to herself.

She decided to give the teenager a chance, but also to herself.

"Well, Mr. Fumi. Do you think I'm pretty? Nogi Hime smiled brightly. Unlike the weird smile just now, Nogi Hime's smile now looks like the smile of a lively girl.

The decaying skeleton that could be faintly seen through the human skin just now is no longer visible. Nogi Ji has changed back to the [Nogi Hime] when she was still a human a hundred years ago

Although there was still a gap in his heart about this, the boy still said his praise to Nogi Ji for the last time: "Sister Nogi, it's beautiful. ”

Nogihime was very satisfied with the boy's words, so she smiled and said to the boy, "Then, please go out and pick a night lavender for me." I want to see how the lavender behaves at night. ”

The boy listened to Nogi Hime's plea, a little silent.

Finally, the boy bowed to Nogihime: "I'll pick it now." ”

"Go and come back, there are a lot of monsters outside at night." Nogi said to the boy.

The boy walked to the door of the cabin and gently pushed it open with his hand.

The door that had been locked was gently pushed open by the young man at this moment.

The young man sighed silently in his heart and walked slowly and resolutely outward.

After walking more than a dozen steps, the boy's pace became faster and faster, and finally the boy ran wildly.

The boy ran out of the woods

The running boy looked back at the cabin that he could no longer see, but he knew everything in his heart.

There weren't any night-time lavender in the area, and Nogi decided to let the boy go.

The boy could finally let out a long sigh.

Eventually, the boy escaped from the cabin and the hand of Nogihime, a hundred-year-old spirit that lived in the cabin......

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Through the window of the cabin, Nogi Hime looked at the boy who kept running.

However, Nogi still didn't make any moves. In fact, just now, as long as she wanted, she could pinch the boy to death at any time.

But instead of doing so, she gave the boy a chance.

Because it's so similar, the boy is just like Nogi Ji back then.

Nogi Hime couldn't see the boy anymore, but she still murmured to the boy as he left, "Smoke-kun...... I chose to die, you choose to live. So how far can you go......"

In the spirit of such curiosity, Nogi Hime let the boy go. Nogi Hime wants to see how long this [Living Nogi Hime] can live.

Nogihime stepped out of the cabin and looked at the dark night sky.

"Mom...... Did I really do something wrong......" Nogi Hime muttered to herself.
