"It's been a long time, and it's really disturbing to come suddenly."

Su Sheng greeted the two dogs.

"It's our honor that you can come to visit, but Lord Toyokuni is out today, but he is not here, and I ask for your forgiveness."

"Isn't it there? Can you say when he will come back? ”

"I'm going to Hokkaido to find Nabu Mora-sama, so I'm afraid I won't be back until more than a month."

"More than a month?"

Su Shang looked back and saw Lu Hua's face showing a hint of disappointment.

"Is there anything important to you? The younger two are willing to do everything for you. ”

The two canine envoys once again fell to their knees on one knee.

Su Sheng hesitated for a moment, and then told the two of them his purpose.

After listening to Su Shang's words, the two looked at Chunyin and Lu Hua.

Probably because of the divine light on Su Shang's body before, the two of them didn't notice the true identities of Chunyin and Luhua, and just regarded them as Su Shang's subordinates.

Now that Su Sheng spoke, the two of them noticed.

was glared at by the two dogs, Chunyin was fine, but it made Lu Hua beat a spirit.

"If it's a person who becomes a Buddha in the vicinity, we will record it, but if it's a person who becomes a Buddha outside the area of the shrine, the little ones can't do anything."

"I see, so let's take a look."

Although Lu Hua also said that the person who was associated with him died more than a year ago, considering that people do not become Buddhas immediately after death, Su Sheng planned to let them check it out under the luck mentality.

Although he was still afraid, probably because of his desire for a friend, he forced the fear in his heart, and Lu Hua walked up to the two dogs and told them everything he knew about the friend.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the dog, everyone entered the residence of the great god of Toyokuni.

Compared with the ordinary furniture of Su Shang, the appearance of the great god of Toyokuni is closer to the ancient Japanese style, and even most of the portraits of military generals and war scrolls are hung on the walls.

Directly in front of it, there is a brown crescent armor.

It is armor equipment that can only be worn by military generals during the Warring States period.

After a long time. Lu Hua returned to Su Sheng with the two dogs.

Did you find it?

Looking at Lu Hua's happy appearance, Su Sheng thought so.

Unexpectedly, I saw Lu Hua jump on the flat table, and immediately said respectfully to Su Shang, "Lord Natsume." With the help of the two divine envoys, I already know where my friend is buried, and the villain will surely repay you for your kindness. ”

"Do you want to go alone?"

"Yes, after all, we already know where. So even if you go alone, it's fine. ”

Even if it's a youkai, but with such a small body, it will be very hard to go anywhere, forget it, anyway, it's all here, so let's go with him.

Su Sheng rubbed her head, and secretly said in her heart that it was troublesome.

"I don't have anything to do, let's go together."

As he spoke, Su Sheng stood up and looked at the two dogs.

It was only then that he realized that he had forgotten to ask their names.

"I'm sorry, I don't know your names yet."

"Ah, it's our rudeness to forget something so important. I beg your pardon as well, under the wood, he is called Mujo. ”

"That's it, hehe, I remember, thank you so much for this, and let you do this kind of thing when you're busy."

"It's our pleasure to serve you."

Although it was such politeness, Su Shang's gratitude was from the heart, after all, he knew very well how busy the work of the shrine was. Although Toyokuni Shrine is not as prosperous as Inari Shrine, it is crowded with worshippers.

After saying goodbye to Kinoshita and Mutiao, Su Shang said goodbye to Chunyin. Lu Hua walked towards the grave together.

Although it is also in a large cemetery, the location is very remote, and it is a part of the way from Toyokuni Shrine.

Even Su Sheng flew for a while to come to this cemetery.

When he came to the cemetery, without a moment's pause, Lu Hua began his friend's grave.

Ultimately. He stood in front of a tombstone that was not very different from the others, but was intended to be very clean.

Tsukasa Hojo

Su Shang saw the names of the deceased carved on the tombstones.

It's a man.

That's what I thought in my head.

Lu Hua stood in front of the tombstone, and after a moment, took out a small wine cup and flask from his arms.

After filling it for Tsukasa Hojo, he poured it for himself.

"You're still dead, that's why you guys are really like fireflies, and they disappear after one night."

After saying this, Lu Hua did not say a word.

Just pour wine, drink.

The silver-white moonlight fell like snowflakes on the tomb and his small body, very gentle, very light.

……

On the way back, Su Sheng didn't speak, just listened to Lu Hua.

A faint smell of wine came from his body, and then a breeze passed into Su Shang's nose.

The wine was very light, with a taste of loneliness and memories.

……

"That guy used to be a very lonely guy, obviously he was always bullied by humans, but he still wanted to make human friends, and he kept saying that he couldn't see us, so it would be good to be friends with us."

"And that guy is an orphan, and he has always been disliked by the owner of the house where he lives, but that guy always has a smile on his face, and it's funny to say now."

"That's right, that's right, when we followed that guy and planned to play a prank on him, we always heard him say that he can't see it, and that youkai are not bad things, but if they are different from humans, hahaha, the more he says that, the more we prank him."

……

It's probably because the long-term separation from friends is finally unbearable under the stone tablet and alcohol just now.

On the way back, Lu Hua kept talking about his friend.

Su Sheng would occasionally interject and ask a few words, and Lu Hua would not feel like an explanation.

Until he said goodbye to Su Shang, Lu Hua was still talking about that person.

It's a very strong relationship.

Looking at Lu Hua's small back, Su Sheng thought so in her heart.

However, when the deceased was still alive, what kind of attitude did he have towards the world?

You can see youkai, probably no one around him can see it except him.

Therefore, it will definitely be looked at by other people with strange eyes, and if you call it, you will definitely be called a bad name like 'liar'.

Although it is not entirely someone else's fault, it is not his fault. The 'visible' and the 'invisible' are inherently an unbridgeable chasm.

But, he has a lot of grievances like this.

No one to believe, no one to confide in

You can only communicate with youkai and be friends.

Then, gradually, he began to stay away from humans and had close contact with youkai.

Although it is better for humans not to have much to do with youkai, in that kind of life, only youkai can be true friends.

"Yuan, it's amazing."

Su Sheng rubbed her hair, and after giving such an emotion, she turned around and walked towards the shrine. (To be continued.) )
