"What the hell is doing here?"

Yakumo Zi half-lowered her eyelids and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of the martial god with an unfriendly gaze.

Needless to say, the "ghost" in the mouth of the monster sage will naturally not be anyone else except Xingxiong Yongyi.

Since just now, she has been watching the situation with the excitement, to be honest, it really made her watch a good thing, in terms of fun, it is good to use it to relieve boredom.

But when Xingxiong Yongyi appeared, she didn't feel any fun - instead she was puzzled.

If you want to talk about the actions of that tengu and the maid, Yakumo Murasaki can still understand it. Then Xingxiong Yongyi's behavior surprised Yakumo Zi very much.

Did she forget how many ghosts died on the battlefield - or at the hands of that man? That even included her friend Kinara.

This should be regarded as a deep hatred, right? Xingxiong Yongyi will definitely hate the man of Eight Wills Feili, no matter who thinks so, because if it is according to the truth that the world hates, the ghost should hate the people of that month.

But looking at Xingxiong Yongyi's current performance, it seems that not only does he have no hatred, but he also likes Bayi Feili.

said that it is like, but it is actually just a euphemism, and it is okay to understand it directly as liking. At least that's how the youkai sage understands it.

But what is the reason for all this?

"Oops, Zi, your expression isn't very good-looking now."

"Huh?"

For the sudden sigh of Yuyuko in Xixing Temple, Zi only came and raised a question.

As Yuyuko said, Yakumo Zi's frowning expression did make her whole person look a lot gloomy, and it really damaged her ladylike beauty.

But this is also relatively speaking, in fact, no matter what, Yakumo Purple is also a very high-level beauty, even if her face is gloomy, it has a special charm - but the reminder of the undead princess still helped.

"Is my expression so obvious?"

As he spoke, the monster sage's brows had already relaxed, and he had returned to his usual temperament.

"Pretty obvious."

Yuyuko's voice was rather indistinct, most likely because she was chewing on the rice cake in her mouth.

The undead princess, who drunk her family teacher and made her behavior very abnormal, has also been paying attention to Yakumo's expression. Purple wasn't surprised at all by this kind of thing.

Although she has a floating style, she is familiar with Yuyuko's personality, and she knows the personality of her best friend very well. Rather than describing her with deep intentions, it is more appropriate to hide it deeply.

"What do you seem to be bothered about? If you can, you might as well come and hear it with me."

Maybe I can help you, but I haven't said it, but this is undoubtedly the subtext of Yuyuko in Saigyoji.

"Well, I just think that ghost is a bit of an eyesore."

Ibuki Suika is a friend of the youkai sage, so the so-called ghost is naturally the star bear Yuyi -- a certain fake immortal is not counted among them.

Hearing Zi's words, the undead princess's gaze also looked at Xingxiong Yongyi, and then showed a clear expression.

It's just that because the cheeks are bulging because they are full of food, the expression that should be in the hands of Zhizhu looks a little funny at this moment.

"She's gone to find the Valkyrie, so you're angry, right?"

"No! Why do you think that?!"

For Yuyuko's question, the surprised monster sage couldn't help but immediately lose his voice and asked.

Why did you get involved with that guy?

――No, strictly speaking, there is a deep relationship.

is worthy of being a sage, and without waiting for Yuyuko to ask back, she reacted almost instantly. However, the culprit who made her lose her temper is undoubtedly Yuyuko of Xixing Temple.

Because of that question, it's clear that there are some problems.

"Am I wrong? You didn't have any thoughts about that ghost before, but it doesn't seem wrong to express your dissatisfaction immediately after seeing her run to the Valkyrie."

Yuyuko's words are really reasonable.

And in essence, there is nothing wrong with it. But for Purple, it's not that there's nothing to blame.

"Yes, that's right. It's true that the star bear Yongyi guy ran to find Feili and I was a little confused--but that's not the point. Yuyuko, isn't there a problem with your question?"

How do you say that you seem to have a crush on that guy?

This is what makes Purple unacceptable.

Absolutely not.

"Hey, I see, I'm sorry, Ah Zi."

Hearing this, Yuyuko tilted her head and smiled apologetically at the monster sage.

If it weren't for the fact that the undead princess was always chewing food, maybe Purple would have been fooled by this smile.

However, she didn't continue to chase after her friend, and forcibly suppressed the urge to shout, Yakumo Zi continued with her eyes closed.

"I'm not angry! It's a little confused, that ghost's attitude towards that guy, and the fool can see it."

Let's not say anything about good feelings, love, just talk about the simplest, it is not difficult to find that Xingxiong Yongyi has a certain degree of goodwill towards him, or anyone can see it. What is certain is that she at least wants to have a good relationship with Feili.

But――――

"It's not scientific."

Yakumo Zi let out such an emotion. Even though I don't see any of the distress caused by incomprehension, the doubts that seep out of my eyes are so obvious.

"Oh, I see."

Although Purple didn't say anything, as a friend who has known the monster sage for nearly a thousand years, Yuyuko of Xixing Temple has already understood what she means.

"If you want to know why, I can name two reasons."

That's right, two reasons that are extremely obvious in Yuyuko's opinion.

Hearing this, Zi suddenly lifted his spirits.

She didn't speak, but the eagerness of the gaze spoke for itself.

"Ah Zi, what you mean by "unscientific" means ethics in general, but the ghost's outlook on life is not necessarily like this."

His friend was killed, and he should have a hatred for his attacker.

If your fellow people are killed on the battlefield, you should have a grudge against them.

-- However, this is just a human, a value in the general sense.

But it may not match the ghost.

Even if you are still a drinker today, tomorrow you will become enemies for unknown reasons -- if you face such a tragic fate, no matter what kind of guy will hesitate.

But ghosts don't.

Even if you know each other, you can fight without hesitation when you meet on the battlefield.

Even though I was sad afterwards, I didn't hesitate.

This is both the so-called heroic, heroic, and the so-called ghosts, most of them are such characters. Even if you usher in a tragic ending at the last moment, if you just bear it yourself, you can face the end with a smile.

It doesn't get much more heroic than that.

So, for that ghost, that Star Bear Yongyi, it's not unbelievable to throw all the anger and hatred on the battlefield together.

Don't be surprised by this, because the values of oni are quite peculiar, and although they have strong shoulders, they do not carry too many troubles on their backs like humans. It should be said that they live more refreshingly and happily than anyone else.

"I see."

After pondering for a while, the monster sage also understood his mistake.

That's stupid. Her delicate cherry lips pursed, and she whispered words that seemed sarcastic and self-deprecating.

"But that's one of the reasons. What is the second reason?"

"Reason No. 2"

Murasaki's question made Yuyuko pause strangely for some reason.

Strange to say, although she has been eating, the undead princess's pronunciation has always been understandable, maybe this is a unique secret she has practiced.

"Are you sure you want to know? Ah Zi."

"Ah, don't buy it when it comes to this, tell me quickly."

Looking at Yuyuko, Purple squinted her eyes and complained in a tone that was close to resentment.

"Probably, because he's a good man."

"I'm sorry, what did you say? Yuyuko, I don't think I heard clearly."

The sentence blurted out from the undead princess was not very long, but it took Yakumo Zi a long time to react. And after reacting, she also asked again in a subtle tone.

Since his good friend didn't hear it clearly, then of course Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple didn't mind repeating it.

"The second reason, I say, is because he's a good man, an attractive man."

"Are you kidding?!"

This time, Purple, who finally couldn't deceive herself, looked at Yuyuko with an unbelievable look.

The first reason can be said to be convincing -- but what is this?!

But the monster sage's rhetorical question didn't make the undead princess's expression change in the slightest, and what existed on Yuyuko's face was still without the slightest boldness, making people feel a fluttering smile.

"I'm not kidding."

To be honest, Purple still hopes that Yuyuko is making fun of her, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"What?! Do you like him too?"

If that's the case, it would be really devastating for Purple.

-- But the heavens actually still favor the monster sage, and things are not as she thinks.

"Don't you like him?"

"Isn't that nonsense?!"

How could it be liked?

If he really has a so-called lifelong enemy, then Yakumo Zi dares to assert that that person will only be the man who is flying with eight intentions.

This is by no means a shyness that you don't want to admit, but a genuine malice.

"So, you hate him?"

"That's right."

"Heartfelt disgust?"

"Do you need to talk about that?"

"From the bottom of my heart, I think he's a disgraceful guy?"

「」

A series of questions and answers, obviously the first few can be answered without hesitation, but in the face of the last Yakumo Zi, there is a rare hesitation.

"Look."

The corners of Yuyuko's mouth still have a fluttering smile on the corner of her mouth when she says this, but I don't know if it's an illusion, compared to Fang Cai, it seems to be a little more mysterious.

"You may hate him, but you don't agree with the idea that he's a bad man."

Sekyuka's words silenced the youkai sage.

"If I had to choose between hating that man or liking that man, I would definitely choose the latter. You can be hated, you can be hated, but that man is not a guy to be despised - I would love to be friends with him if I put my position aside."

"You're right."

After being silent for a while, Purple also agreed with Yuyuko's statement.

No matter how disgusted she was with Fei Li, she had to admit that this was not a person who could be sarcastic.

Because he has consciousness, the will to move forward, and the strength to maintain his dignity, it is no problem if such a guy is attractive.

However, I always feel that if I admit it, I will lose wherever I am.

It seemed that she had seen through Yakumo's thoughts, Yuyuko was extremely rare, and sighed imperceptibly.

Her friends did regard Feili as an enemy and had malicious intentions, and it was true.

For Yakumo Murasaki, Feili is not just an enemy that must be eliminated in the way, but is treated as an old enemy.

That's not good.

It may seem strange to say this, but Feili is a unique existence for Yakumo Murasaki, even if it is unique in a negative sense.

Caring too much about that man, too much attention to figuring out his intentions -- this might one day turn into Yakumo's fatal wound.

What's even more regrettable is that Yuyuko can't say this sentence to her friends now.

I can only hope that she will realize it by herself one day.

Yuyuko of Saigyoji, who hid her sigh deep in her heart and returned to the frivolous undead princess she usually had, began to focus on food again

Leaving the monster sage on the side, still tangled.
