"Know him......

Shotimaru said in an indescribable tone.

It's hard to describe———— there is simply no more appropriate adjective than this.

At least based on Youmeng's experience, he couldn't tell Tengu's tone.

Is that a lament? No, it's too clear compared to sadness.

So, is it happy? No, it's too low compared to joy.

It's not a well-defined emotion.,It's too deep a secret for the current demon dream.。

But this kind of embarrassment did not last long, and soon Wen returned to his usual bright smile.

"The man...... It's easy to define."

To define something, you have to understand its essence. Since Wen dared to say this, then she must have an extraordinary understanding of the eight meanings.

At the very least, she has definitely spent more time with this man than Youmeng. Because of this, her understanding of Feili is also deeper than that of Demon Dreams.

"Peerless liar...... That man is a peerless liar."

However, the words that come out of the tengu's mouth are not flattering———— and probably no one will think that being called a "liar" is a compliment

Even a peerless liar has no honor to speak of.

But this is not a harsh rebuke, there is no anger or resentment in Wen's eyes, if he has been deceived, he will not be so calm at all.

Now the demon dream finally understood, Shooting Pill Wen was not belittling the man of Bayi Feili, she was just simply narrating the facts———— at least for her, absolutely true facts.

But looking at the quiet Shooting Pill Bun, Youmeng felt more and more unacceptable.

Driven by this wonderful feeling, she couldn't help but pick up the teacup again.

However, the excessively light weight of the teacup made Youmeng realize that the tea had already been drunk, and the half-spirit girl could only put down what she was holding with a little embarrassment.

「…… Hehe......"

Taking in the movements of Youmu's subconscious, a low laugh erupted from Tengu's throat. The smile on her beautiful face is always extinguished, only the light under her eyes appears and disappears, giving people an elusive feeling.

"You don't seem to agree with what I'm saying, Youmu."

Although Youmeng didn't open his mouth to refute it, Wen still asserted it. Because the girl's actions speak for themselves.

The series of actions made out of anxiety is the best proof of the girl's inner disagreement with her words.

I don't agree with it but can't find any reason to refute it.,This contradictory situation caused the girl's anxiety.。

Generally speaking, irritability is caused by suppressed desires, and it is usually the most irritable for people who are overly serious and easily stimulated by words. In other words, the upright girl of the soul demon dream may often suffer from mental fatigue.

「…… Yes."

After a little hesitation, Youmeng still nodded with a resolute look.

"I don't think Mr. Fei Li is what you say."

"Yes......

There was no trace of annoyance on Wen's face that was refuted, but a smile that became more and more cheerful.

What a dazzling girl, who believes in someone from the bottom of her heart, even though she may not be mature enough as a person, but from the perspective of a young person, this is undoubtedly a very cute quality.

Shotimaru doesn't hate such guys.

The child is quite similar in personality to her friend Inugo. However, since they are similar, there must be differences as well, and Shotimaru can detect the difference in the personalities of the two.

The flaws that the soul demon dream has, and the flaws that the tsunaki does not have.

"So, what is your basis?"

As an elder, she shouldn't have made things so difficult for girls. However, seeing Youmeng's serious look, Wen still couldn't control his heart of mischief from the heart.

However, to her great surprise, the half-spirit girl replied without hesitation.

"Because the Mr. Fei Li I know is not a liar."

There is neither a high momentum nor a heavy tone, and only the firm will of Youmu exists in this sentence.

She believed that the noble martial artist she had seen was absolutely true.

It is precisely because of this belief that Youmu can show this extraordinary calmness.

This time———— it was the turn of the shooting pill to be speechless.

"I ......! Cut, that guy is still as good at disguise as before......

Wen couldn't deny the simple will of Youmeng, all she could do was sigh with a smile.

「…… Okay, so let's get a little bit off the hook, but let's go a little further."

With a clapping of his hands, the tengu, who seemed to be refreshed in an instant, regained his calm look.

It seems that she has made up her mind to argue with Youmeng to the end?

…… Not really.

"You've read my newspaper, haven't you? Little Demon Dream."

Completely unrelated to the previous issue.

Youmeng frowned, she was really a little difficult to accept the name of Little Youmeng———— there are enough people in this world who call her such a Yuyuko!

However, the innocent girl still answered Wen's question.

"Yes, I did. I kind of watch a lot during the break."

"So, what do you think of what I wrote? News?"

The looming problem is coming towards the demon dream...... At this point, even those who are sluggish can find that the question of the text is definitely with ulterior motives; It's like a series of temptations and inducements before a boxer swings his decisive punch.

But even so, Youmeng still didn't refuse to answer.

"Hmm...... Written...... It's fun......

The appearance of carefully considering the words is really cute.,Compared to the demon dream.,It's much more straightforward for my own work.。

"It's gossip, isn't it?"

"Uh......"

It is indeed an indefensible fact, and even the demon dream can't help but be speechless for a while.

Very gossip, full of all kinds of subjective speculation, and very inducing, it should be said that it is completely written to satisfy one's own bad taste.

…… Of course, it's interesting, and it's true.

"I know it myself...... But extreme articles sell well———— besides, I think you're having a lot of fun reading them."

As he spoke, Wen winked at the demon dream.

"But what...... So, what do you think I should be when I write this kind of work?"

「……」

Youmu didn't speak. Because there is no need for this, Tengu's question is not actually trying to pursue her answer after all.

"So, after talking to me, what do you think I am?"

If you've read Wenwen News, you'll think that Wen is a woman full of obscenity.

However, after actual contact, this is not the case.

The personality is sunny and cheerful, although there is a kind of hidden toughness, but there is no lack of respect for others...... All in all, it's a far cry from the original impression.

…… I always feel like this guy is going to say something nasty next.

Youmeng's nerves began to give warning. But she remained silent in the end...... Because she found her flaws.

"I guess the answer before and after this should be different———— but which one is the real Shotmaruwen?"

「…… I don't know."

Yes———— that's the ultimate answer.

There is no room for rebuttal. Shotimaru is well aware of this. So she showed that cheerful smile again———— not a smile, but a pure bright smile. But I don't know if it's an illusion, there seems to be a kind of sadism hidden in this smile.

"yes, of course you don't."

snapped his fingers, Wen said.

"However, since you don't know which one is the real me———— can you be sure which one is the real one? You know, I've known him for a lot longer than you."

Such a correct remark, the nod that Youmeng should have agreed with is right...... But she didn't.

She just tightened her teeth and responded with a wordless silence.

"Oh, don't have such a heavy expression...... I'm just telling you the truth of life, you have been deceived."

Tengu didn't care too much about the half-spirit girl's expression, and continued.

"People are disguised. People have different masks at different times, and this is true not only for Fei Li, me, but for everyone, and your master will be no exception."

Well...... It's really off topic and running out of the clouds.

With a sigh, Shotimaru got up from his chair.

"Thank you for accompanying me for tea, then, it's time for me to leave...... Of course, before parting, I have one more thing to say———— the eight meanings you know are not necessarily completely false, but they are not necessarily completely true either. So, don't take my words too seriously, just look at everything with the same attitude as before."

…… What's the use of all of that now?

Maybe she didn't even know about Shotimaru herself, but she said it anyway.

As she said, the heartiness, calmness, and gentleness shown by Bayi Feili cannot be said to be false, but he did not show the dark fire in his heart———— only showed his brightest side. What a deception.

But...... Shotimaru likes this about him.

"Bye-bye, then. Little Demon Dream."

With a chic wave of goodbye, the tengu's figure fluttered its wings and disappeared into the sky.

It's really free and easy.

But Youmeng couldn't be so free, and she still couldn't let go.

She does understand that people have an unknown side, which is also helpless. But she had a hard time believing it...... Because according to the text, Yuyuko will also disguise her heart to deceive herself.

It shouldn't be possible.

————No, there's nothing to doubt about at all.

Yuyuko-sama is Yuyuko-sama, and as long as you understand this, nothing will change.

Maybe Wen's words made Youmeng's heart have a little doubt, but the bond between the half-spirit girl and the undead princess will not change.

Regaining his awe-inspiring posture, Youmeng packed his bags and prepared to return to the White Jade Tower.

…… But......

"What's the matter?"

"That...... Guests?"

The owner of the teahouse said in a helpless tone to the girl who looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"You and that young lady haven't paid for tea yet."

「………………」
