――――――――――――――

Recall sitting in front of the computer at the time:

The quiet night, the shadows that swayed with the change of light and shadow on the screen, and the pair of colorful eyes that were reflected because of fantasy.

It's like a world away, but it's really two worlds.

As a reference party (pseudo), Zhibei saw the story of Tamamo when he learned about the background of the blue. This nine-tailed fox is much more famous than Lan, but of course, after all, legend has it that she incarnated as Daji to cause trouble in China, and then crossed the sea to Japan, first adopted by Sakabe Yukitsuna, and later met the emperor, and was deeply loved by the emperor. Eventually, because the emperor had a strange illness, she was discovered by the Onmyoji, so she was chased and fled all the way to Nasuno, where she turned into the famous Killing Stone - a vicious stone that can make the surrounding plants and trees live and die.

However, according to Zhibei's experience, these legends are good to listen to - at most as a reference, in this Eastern world, everything will be re-enacted in a different way.

For example, the little Lori in front of me, she is the daughter of Sakabe Yuzuna, but she is not adopted, her name is Wakazao - exactly the same name as Tamamo before, but she is not a youkai, but a human.

So, how will her story be interpreted? Zhibei's heart couldn't help but gush out of curiosity, he seemed to have been caught in a huge and complicated drama, the fate of countless people will be entangled, they will cry or laugh, or happy or sad, with their unique life to reveal the various forms of the world.

How wonderful would that drama be? A screen popped up in front of Zhibei's eyes, and the flickering boxes on it attracted his attention-

[Main Story: The Fate of the Nine-Tailed Fox] Is it to be taken? Yes/No

At this time, Zhibei suddenly had a premonition: the first protagonist of this wonderful drama appeared, symbolizing the official opening of its curtain. It was as if a strong wind had come from the west, blowing all beings into a chaotic cloud.

So, how can this drama be without me knowing the north?

After reading the brief description of the mission, Zhibei nodded yes with a smile.

――――The dividing line of perspective transformation――――

Nasuno is a beautiful place!

She has lush mountains and streams that are as clear as a mirror. Every morning, when the morning sun rises, the mist will shroud the mountains, and from a distance, it looks like a delicate girl covered with a veil.

Wakazao really liked this place, not only the kind people, but also the living treasures hidden in the mountains: the pretty and cute foxes, the scary-looking but unexpectedly cowardly and kind Raven Tengu, and, of course, the cloud monster who likes to drink alone in the mountains and forests - an unexpectedly nagging guy......

She often plays with foxes by the waterfall, or goes to the shrine to be a shrine maiden and greet people who come to worship, so she lives a carefree and happy life.

So, Nasuno is the most beautiful place in the world!

However, her beauty is also her boredom, for Wakamo, the daily routine is still too mundane, and even the tourists who come to worship are mostly boring people who are full of fear and awe, and have long been polished by fate. She longs for different changes, she craves exciting super-everyday events, in short, this petite but brave and kind little adventurer cries out in her heart:

I'm going to take a risk!!

And so, fate answered herβ€”at least that's what she thought. Because she heard from her father that there was a wandering onmyoji in their house.

Her eyes were like jewels illuminated by the sun, shining with excitement, and her small pink lips were grinning into a wonderful arc, like a crescent moon, telling the joy and expectation in her heart.

She jumped open the wooden door of the room where the Onmyoji was temporarily staying, and in the pouring sunlight, the man fell asleep as if he were unconscious.

I don't know if it was her illusion, the moment she opened the door, she seemed to see the familiar figure of the white fox flash away in a halo like water.

Well...... Anyway, the curvature of the corners of his mouth rose more and more, and Wakazao thought in his heart, since he is an onmyoji, then there must be an interesting reaction to Wakazao's special service!

For this rare and extraordinary experience, she made up her mind.

"Get up!" Shouting, Wakamo's petite body rushed out and jumped high.

Then, he straddled the chest of the onmyoji with his feet apart......

"Huh?" Groaning suspiciously, Wakazao realized that her invincible trick had no effect, and the man was still asleep, even with a satisfied smile on his face......

Hum! It's worthy of being an onmyoji!

Case...... Then she had no choice but to use her trick two, her white skin reflected a watery glow, and her two little arms were ready to exercise for a while, and Wakaza's face showed a smug smile.

[Su Sheng suffocated] !!

That is, pinching the nose.

This time, the man's face finally showed a painful expression, huh...... It may not just be painful, but more of a sadness that has been planted for a year only to be burned at the end of the harvest.

What kind of dreams did you have? Wakazao couldn't help but be curious, but before she could start thinking, the man woke up.

"Get up, get up...... I'm up, heroine spare my life, stop pinching my nose! ”

This reaction is the first time I've seen Wakamo, but it's because of the novelty that it's also very interesting. She couldn't help but admire her decisive decision.

Hee-hee, what is a woman? Also, there is no such exaggeration as wanting to spare your life!

Afterwards, the man did not chase her away in annoyance, as the other travelers did, or kindly silence her head, but asked for her name as a matter of course, and then, having a look of great surprise when he learned her name......

How to describe it? It was like seeing some big celebrity or legend.

What the hell is this? Did she herself become a big celebrity when she didn't know it?

"Why are you looking at me like that!!" Wakazao asked curiously, "Also, what's your name, big brother!" Are you really an onmyoji? ”

"Ah...... Ha ha! The man smiled awkwardly, his eyes glanced to the side, his voice was young and full of neutrality, but there was always a little jumpy, "My name is Zhibei, and I am indeed an onmyoji...... Wait a minute! ”

The onmyoji named Zhibei's face suddenly became a little serious, and his hand twisted a white hair on his quilt, "What is this?" ”

Wakazao's gaze couldn't help but focus on the white hair, "This! She smiled smugly, "This is obviously the white fox's hair!" Yes...... How can there be fox fur here? Didn't clean it? ”

"No, maybe not that's the reason, algae!" The man looked at the ceiling above and sighed, "Is that the dream real?" ”

"Dreams? What dreams? Wakazao's curiosity intensified, and she asked curiously, but the man didn't answer her.

At this moment, a third person's voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"Of course it's true, brother!"

Wakazao followed the ethereal and graceful voice to look into the air, and she saw a figure that she would never forget in her life.

A simple and mysterious purple robe, coupled with a beautiful and proud face, and blonde hair as bright as the sun. The woman, no, the youkai sat sideways in the black gap in the air, smiling flawlessly all the time, as if the gods were looking down on the ant-like beings. She shook the fan lightly with her sideways, and a meaningful light flowed in her pupils.

Good......

So handsome!!

(Recently, I watched April is your lie, and my heart was full of positive energy!! Well! Right...... οΌ‰
