Chapter Twenty-Six: The Feast
"Me? Love Fragrance? Ha ha...... I didn't expect you to have a talent for telling jokes. Yongyi."
After hearing Yongyi's words, Na Zhiwuliu's face suddenly distorted, and after enduring it for a long time, he finally laughed.
However, listening to the laughter of Na Zhiwuliu, who was amused as if he had heard some big joke, Yongyi's expression did not change at all. She didn't react at all, just looked at Zhiwuliu with an extremely calm look.
This indifference has played a role in the end. The tengu, bored by Yuyi's reaction, abruptly stopped laughing.
"Cut...... Your reaction is really boring. Yongyi."
"That's what I should say to you, and your reaction is boring to a certain extent, Nachi."
"Hah...... It looks like we're both half-hearted."
With a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth, Na Zhi summed up the conversation between the two with the usual chic attitude. Then, his tone changed and the topic was turned in another direction.
"But to be honest, I didn't expect Yongyi to be such a gossip ...... you."
Not to mention, it's a bit unexpected. This is indeed the case for that Zhiwuliu.
He didn't expect that his words and deeds could be said to be majestic and courageous, and he actually cared so much about the emotional condition of others. Should I say that she is not the same as she is?
"Leave me alone, just answer me honestlyββββ do you dare to deny that what I just said is not true at all?"
Nachi wanted to change the subjectββββ and he didn't succeed in doing so blatantly.
Although Yongyi, who is straightforward and does not deceive people, can indeed be said to be a typical ghost, this does not mean that she is a stupid person. Being fooled by such a straightforward way of transferring, Yongyi can only feel that his IQ has been insulted. She couldn't allow that to happen, and she still chased after Na Zhiwuliu.
Looking at the ghost girl who swore not to give up without getting a clear answer, Tengu hesitated for a moment. The real answer was also spoken.
γβ¦β¦β¦β¦ Don't dare."
If it is ridiculous, it is indeed ridiculous, and it is true that Tomumuru himself cannot assert that he does not like Ibuki Aka at all. Perhaps, as Yuyi said, he himself didn't even realize that he was liking Ibuki Sanka.
If you want to say that they are friends, then the answer is undoubtedly yes, if you want to say that they are comrades-in-arms, he and Cuixiang have also gone through the bloody storm on the battlefield together. But only this thing that Zhiwuliu is not sure.
And ββββ Nachi couldn't help but think that maybe his jealousy and suspicion of Yakumo Purple was only because this sudden youkai obviously had a place in Suika's heart...... And most likely far better than themselves.
"To be exact, I don't know."
There is actually another sentence that has not been spoken. In the end, there is only one thing that Nachi can be sure of, and that is that Suika does not have feelings for him above that of a friend.
Hey, it's sad to think so.
Thinking of this, Na Zhiwuliu couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
However, after hearing his words, Yongyi, who smacked his tongue in disgust, did not have much time to fall into contemplation.
"Hey, noββββ some people don't see their hearts until the end of their lives. You can't be that kind of guy, right?"
Although beautiful, the golden eyebrows, which are slightly stronger than women, have been wrinkled together, which shows the mood of the owner very well.
"What if I were?"
"Of course it's not goodββββ it's just that that kind of guy usually ends up with regrets...... I hate that kind of thing."
Yes, as it literally is. Yongyi hates that kind of thing.
I didn't recognize my heart until the end, so that I could die without being confused. But he still dies with regrets...... What's the point of realizing what you want at the end of your life?
If anything, it is to let yourself leave this world with regret.
For ghosts, there is nothing more disgusting than this way of exiting. When you live, you live simply, and you should die freely. This is a way of life that conforms to the values of ghosts.
"Hahaha...... I don't think I'm going to end up like that...... Probably."
Regarding Yongyi's worries, Na Zhi just said this in a soothing tone. But the two words at the end of him clearly express his uncertainty about himself.
"Hey! What kind of unproductive answer are yours! Even if it's to reassure others, you have to give a firm answer."
Yongyi, who could almost be said to be roaring, did not show any anger from her face. Sure enough, this sentence is still mostly ridiculous.
"Don't say that...... Anyway, I really can't be sure now, even if I say so, it doesn't make sense."
Because, at this momentββββ
"I want to keep the image in front of me more than that."
As if looking at a fleeting phantom, Na Zhiwuliu looked at everyone at the banquet with an emotional look.
Whether it's Suika who is with Yakumo Purple, Tsukara who drinks with Jingming and Lord Heavenly Demon, Ibaraki, Orochimaru, who doesn't know what to say on the side, Hao Ghost, or Unbounded............ Even if one of them had any suspicions, Zhiwuliu didn't want to care about that kind of thing at the moment.
Because he just wants to imprint the scene of everyone drinking and talking deeply in his heart. For him, who is going to the battlefield tomorrow, maybe some people just can't see it anymore. Maybe he was the same.
Since it's the Last Supper for everyone, let's have a laugh. Living in this not-so-gentle world, at least when you die, you hope that you can die with a smile.
"Then again, Yongyi......
The look of emotion disappeared.
On a whim, Zhiwuliu thought of a question. One that doesn't matter, just a matter of curiosity.
"Don't just talk about me. What about you?"
"What am I?"
Obviously, the oni failed to understand what the tengu meant. But it wasn't a big deal, and Nachi explained it to her kindly.
"If you're looking for a man...... What type will it be?"
"Ha ββββ"
It's a tricky question. Although it didn't stump Yongyi, she still felt a little difficult to speak when she looked at the Zhiwu Liu who was staring at her from the side.
"Well, I don't have a favorite object yet......
"So I asked you what type."
That Zhiwuliu stared at Yongyi with burning eyes, and he was chasing after this question, and it seemed that he would not stop until he took out some important information from Yongyi. It's probably impossible to fool the past by saying anything.
Yongyi, who realized this, sighed softly.
"Okay...... It doesn't hurt to tell you. If I'm looking for a man...... If I look at it, it must be a man who is stronger than me."
Stronger than her, stronger than Xingxiong Yongyi...... This condition alone can brush down 99% of male youkai. Even among the big monsters, there are definitely not many who are stronger than her, no, it should be said that there are very few.
"And it has to be overwhelmingly strong enough to terrify my heartββββ that kind of terror that can make me afraid."
"Hey, hey, hey! Could that exist?!"
The first sentence is fine, but the second sentence is a fantasy! That Zhiwuliu said.
He also knows the strength of Xingxiong Yongyi very well, there must be male monsters stronger than her, but can they be strong enough to make this strong, resolute and brave big monster fearful............
"If you meet that guy that day, be sure to tell me."
All in all, although it was still an unacceptable expression. But Na Zhiwuliu still didn't argue about it.
"Ahh Then again...... We've been off topic for too long, haven't we?"
"Huh?"
"The Meaning of Banquets...... It's just to make people drink."
While saying this with a hearty smile, Yongyi poured Nazhi's cup full of wine.
"Hey, are you still drinking? I can't do it anymore."
"What? Do you want to admit defeat at this level? You kid...... She can drink more than I do, and you'll be looked down upon by her."
"Don't you get involved with the incense? I don't want to go to war tomorrow and have a hangover!"
"Ugh...... You're so boring...... The banquet is still going on, how can you do it without drinking?"
ββββ Zhiwuliu, who sternly refused no matter what, forgot two things.
One, ghosts have special drinking skills...... It can be said that they are born with a talent.
Second, as Xingxiong Yongyi said, this banquet is still long.
