……

"Huh? Who are you? ……」

There was an unknown person standing in front of the house, and although the words were human, I could clearly feel that the other party was definitely not human. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Hehe, hello! I'm a friend of Swallow, and Swallow should have lived here for the last time, and it has a strong, swallow's breath here."

"Because there's a festival tonight, I'm bringing wine."

The "comer" smiled and took out the wine bag, ready to come over for a drink.

"Festival?"

Does it have anything to do with flooded villages?

"Yes, the village is in a dark and obscure part of the river."

"The comer" said solemnly.

"In the past, once every four years, youkai would gather for a festival. But this is a rare opportunity, so we want to take advantage of the dry season to hold another event."

I see!!

"Yes."

I'm a little happy, it looks like even if it's out of sight, it won't be so boring!!

"Drinking, dancing, running, etc......

The "comer" gestured excitedly, and the wine bag in his hand made a "whoosh" sound with the swing of his body.

"And!! Prizes for the winners of the contest...... It's a magical dress that can be transformed into a human form at night. ……」

The "comer" made a funny waist twisting motion.

"Have fun in the lively atmosphere of the festival."

Smack-

The bag in Doudou's hand fell to the ground, what did he say just now?

"What did you just say?"

Clothes that turn into human beings? That's right, this is it, what can be done for Swallow, what you want to do for her!!

"Have fun ......"

"The comer" re-said, dancing with his hands.

"No, you said you could turn into human clothes!"

"Oh, are you interested?"

The "comer" came up to Doudou.

"Would you like to go and see it, Lady Celestial?"

"Yes!!"

Doudou nodded vigorously.

If she can get that yukata, she will be able to help Tsubame meet Taketanigawa, and she will be very happy.

"Comer" smiled mysteriously, and then dragged Doudou forward without saying anything.

……

「…… Where are you going? Celestial ......"

A water-blue figure suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Then the figure jumped in front of the running Doudou with long flowing aqua blue hair.

"Katier? ……」

Doudou glanced back and sped up to run with the youkai!

"I'm going to the festival in the Yokai Village right now!"

"What?"

Strange, how did you suddenly think of going to that kind of place? It's not for humans.

There are a lot of youkai that don't usually come out, and if you go, it's hard to even come back alive.

"You're going to be eaten if you go to that kind of monster festival, Tianyu!"

Katil's body turned, and she transformed into a goddess dressed in palace clothes and wearing a feather robe, blocking in front of Doudou to stop her.

"What kind of youkai are you? Don't get in the way!"

The youkai who was exposed to the trick revealed its true face and instantly turned into a giant youkai the size of a hill.

"Hey! Stinky monsters! Do you want to take Celestial Whisper to serve snacks to other youkai?!"

"Humph! What's wrong with cannibalism! You're a monster who has developed feelings for humans. What a soft-footed shrimp."

"What are you talking about? Stinky monsters. I'm not a monster, you can tell me clearly, I'm a goddess. Beautiful, gentle, lovely, generous, decent, kind goddess of water!"

"And I am the one who will eat the language of heaven. That's the kind of pact I made with this guy, idiot."

"I didn't make that kind of agreement!"

Doudou couldn't help but retort!

Damn, this goddess of waste wood really doesn't know what she's talking about. What are you going to eat! The devil will make such a promise!!

"But that yukata is real, isn't it? Katir, can you take me there?!"

Tianyu is saying such stupid things again!

"I speak the language of heaven! What the hell are you thinking, that you want to do that stupid thing?!!

The youkai standing next to it was also strange.

How can you take such a risk for the sake of a piece of clothing?

"Why risk it for a piece of clothing? You don't do any good to Lord Tianyu, why?"

Doudou, who was asked, couldn't help but be stunned subconsciously, what to say?

"That's because...... I developed feelings for swallows, and there was something wrong with acting for a friend. Moreover, Yanzi wants to see Mr. Wu so much, but now she is getting weaker and weaker, and she can't see him until she disappears."

「…… Fool, you fool!"

Katier yelled at Doudou angrily!

"Wordy!"

"Hey, youkai, take me to the place where the festival is held!"

Doudou replied to Katier dissatisfied, and finally turned to look at the monster!

But the youkai looked incredible, even though it was a face as big as a small house.

"Wait a minute!"

"What's the matter, Katil, if you still want me to give up, don't say anything."

"Forget it, I see, I won't persuade you anymore, but!!"

Katir shook her head slightly, then looked hard at Doudou and made a heavy sound.

"But ......!?"

"You're trying to help that little youkai named Swallow."

"That's right! Anyway, why do you have to ask such a question now?"

"That's good!"

"What's up!?"

"I'm not going to stop you from helping that little youkai, but I won't allow you to use the power of these stinking youkai to help it."

Katir stretched out her slender hand like white jade and pointed at the monster in front of her, which looked like a small mountain.

"Huh?"

"You are the one who wants to help her, and you are the one who wants to save her, so what else can help her but you."

「……」

"Tianyu, it's up to you to fulfill that little monster's wish. In any case, as a god, I would never allow these monsters to fulfill my wishes."

As she spoke, Katir smiled warmly and looked this way.

「……」

「……」

"I see! I have fulfilled this wish with my own hands."

……

……

…… Where is it? Where's that guy? That person will come today, too?

"Swallow...... Yan...... Wake up, Yan."

In a room covered in silver by the sound of rain and moonlight, the swallow lay by the window and woke up from her dream and opened her eyes.

"Celestial-Whispered ......"

Seeing Tianyu vaguely smiling at himself in a blue glow different from the silver moonlight, the swallow gently propped up his body.

"It's great that you're back so soon."

Then he turned his head to look out the window.

"It's already raining...... Looks like we can't stop tonight."

"Swallow."

Doudou interrupts the swallow that speaks.

"Mr. Wu is attending a festival at a nearby convention."

Then he stretched out his hand, and the rain outside the window flew in and turned into a blue dress in front of the swallow. Hand it to the swallow.

"Wear this, go ahead."

Swallow took the yukata from Doudou's hand, surprised and surprised.

"What is this yukata?"

"Although this dress can make people see your presence, because, Tsubame, your strength is weak, so you won't be able to talk to him. If that's acceptable, go for it."

The expression on Doudou's face seemed to be frozen and could not change at all, but Doudou's blue eyes smiled.

If you can, Yan, your wish can be fulfilled, and this is the best for you.

Swallow looked up at Doudou gratefully, only to notice the solidification on Doudou's face.

"Celestial-Whispered ......"

In my consciousness, I really can't find any words to express my feelings.

"Yan, you said you don't hate humans, thank you."

With a frozen face, Doudou still smiled.

"I like things that are gentle, and I like things that are warm. That's why I like humans!"

Swallow stood up and hugged Doudou, for a while, Doudou didn't know what to do, which may mean that Swallow can thank him for his actions.

"Thank you, Lord Celestial...... Thank you."

Because of you, I was able to meet Mr. Takeyagawa, Lord Tenyu, thank you so much......

Putting on her clothes, the swallow waved goodbye to Tianyu.

"I'm leaving, Lord Tianyu, I'm leaving~~"

Unable to hide his excitement, the swallow ran in the direction of the festival......

Yanzi, I hope you can meet Mr. Wu, I hope you can fulfill your wishes......

As Yan said, it rained in the middle of the night.

A few days later, when Katir passed the dam, the village was submerged in clear water, leaving no trace, as if it had never existed.

"Yan, are you back in the village?"

I couldn't help but ask, worried about the swallow, the swallow who has something to accomplish no matter what, the swallow who smirked when she saw the person in the room, and the swallow who said that she didn't hate humans...... What remains in my heart, the beautiful swallow.

"It's easy for a youkai bound in a certain place to go back there."

Katir still had a completely uninterested and lazy expression, as if most things would not attract her attention.

"Maybe I'll ascend to heaven."

However, there are still occasional nasty jokes or two.

"That would be fine."

Swallow, have you seen that person? Good night, Yan, have a good dream. Yan, when you saw Mr. Wu, you were smiling, right?

……

"Really, Katir, you've put it in the driver's seat."

Sitting on the barricade of the branch bridge with Katier, Doudou is upset about yesterday's events.

Really, in the end, the "divine fire" is still used.

"Well! Don't care, don't care! But Doudou should accompany me to the end, right?"

Katir said with a smile.

Doudou looked up a little embarrassed.

"Do you mean the last thing I can get you out of the house? If that's the case, I'll be with you."

Katir shook her head with a smile.

"Doudou will eventually develop feelings for me, right?"

"What about you?"

I also wonder if Katir will have any feelings for herself. Just like Yan, Mr. Wu.

"Hehe......"

Katir smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, through the gap between the trees, I saw Yuxin walking. By the way, I remember that Yu Xin seems to know Mr. Wu, right!?

Thinking of this, Doudou immediately picked up Katier and ran towards Yuxin.

"Hey! Yuxin!!"

"Huh? It's the language of heaven."

……

……

"A child in a blue dress?"

Yu Xin, who was stopped by Doudou and asked, couldn't help but be puzzled!

"Yes, at a festival around here. Are there any girls with Mr. Wu?"

"Ah, that kid?!"

Yuxin suddenly realized.

"I've seen the picture! Mr. Wu talked to me about it! The girl who wears blue and doesn't like to talk......

It turns out that I saw it, Yan, it's really good, Doudou laughed happily

"yes, that's great."

"By the way, do you want to see it?"

Yu Xin opened the bag in her hand,

"I specially got it from Mr. Wu, and I just washed out the photos from that time. Because Tianyu asked me about Mr. Wu last time, I went to visit him a few more times."

Find a photo and hand it to Doudou.

"Give."

After taking the photo, the swallow on it smiled sweetly, and quietly remembered what the swallow had said, and it must be very happy to see the person I missed for a long time, swallow, right? Tears crept up into his eyes unconsciously......

Yes, I also like it, gentle, warm things, even if those things are very far away from me, but like is like.

Whether this is as a "god" or as a former person.

…… I love their hearts and minds desperately trying to stay alive......
