Chapter Ninety-Seven: Golden Snow

"Is there something going on?"

Su Sheng then asked.

"I just wanted to invite you to tomorrow night's banquet, although it is no different from yesterday's, but it is the last time this month, and some reclusive youkai will also come."

"Yes, yes. I can come. ”

"Thank you so much, everyone said you were there last time, and I felt happier."

"Still, do you know why that guy blooms early? Even if you don't use your own strength, you can wait until autumn to bloom. ”

The little monk of Qingshi looked at Jin Muxi, and said after a long time: "I probably think that this can make me happy, after all, he is a very willful guy." ”

……

When the moon rose in the sky, Su Sheng returned to the villa.

It's just that when I walked into the villa, I saw that everyone in the opera club was in the kitchen, and even Shota and Wen'er were helping to wash the dishes.

Laughter and slapstick filled the kitchen.

"Natsume, you guy, come over here and help! Tonight is the last night of our stay, so let's have a big meal together! ”

When Shota saw Su Shang, he immediately shouted out.

Su Shang smiled and walked towards the kitchen.

Whether it's a human or a youkai, it's always nice to have a companion around.

……

After dinner, Shota and the others gathered around and started playing reversi, and Su Shang sat by the window and looked outside.

The drizzle fell again in the mountains and forests, wetting the green leaves and the windows of the villa, and Su Shang's heart fell into her own thoughts as the raindrops fell.

"Su Shang."

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Kujo Hiromi's voice pulled Su Shang out of his thoughts.

"No, it just feels like you're hiding something. And you've been in bad spirits since the afternoon. ”

"It's fine, it's just a few things that come to mind. It's Hiromi, but you feel like you've changed back. ”

"Really, what do you mean to change back, obviously it hasn't changed, and I'm talking about you. Why do you mention me. ”

"Hiromi."

Su Shang didn't just take Kujo Hiromi's words like this, but just looked at the golden wood outside the window and said, "Can I leave later tomorrow?" ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"It's nothing, I just want to see the golden snow with everyone."

"Golden snow? Do you mean goldenrod blossoms? Are you sleeping stupid today? It's spring. Really, your laziness won't spread to the mind, and the brain will be degraded. ”

"Anyway. Let's leave later tomorrow! ”

Looking at the others, Su Shang said firmly.

If you all work together, that guy won't be angry.

But before he finished speaking, Su Sheng remembered that Qingxia only had an agreement with him.

But this sentence that he suddenly said out loud also attracted the attention of others.

……

By the next morning. Su Sheng got up, and when he saw the quilt in the closet, he knew that Qingxia didn't come back last night.

Maybe it was because it rained yesterday

This morning was colder than usual, probably because of the rain last night.

Although you can only see a little bit, the little golden buds on the branches have been revealed, and the fragrance of the early morning flowers is mixed with the cold air, which looks more tranquil.

"Qingxia."

Su Sheng stood under the golden tree and whispered Qingxia's name.

"Isn't it there?"

After calling a few times, Su Shang, who still didn't see Qing Xia appearing, walked to Jin Muxi and sat down.

Although the ground was very wet because of the rain last night, it was better than the rest of the place.

Look at those golden buds. Su Shang closed his eyes.

"Sleeping here will make you catch a cold."

After a long time, Qingxia's voice reached Su Shang's ears.

After opening his eyes, Su Sheng saw Qingxia standing in front of him.

The female monster still had a smile on her face, and she was holding a golden golden tree in her hand, which was very beautiful.

"This is the Golden Tree, there will be a lot of overgrown trees in a while, and then they will slowly fall, you will be shocked anyway."

"yes, but I'm still curious to know why Qingxia uses her power to bloom early."

The restlessness of the night is precisely because of this problem. And now Su Sheng asked.

Qing Xia was stunned, smiled slightly, and held Su Shang's face with both hands.

"What a curious human child."

In Qingxia's gentle words, what came to Su Shang's mind seemed to be Qingxia's own memory.

……

When you have consciousness. There weren't a lot of trees here, and those trees couldn't have the same consciousness of their own as her, so she was the only one here, blooming alone, falling alone, even if she had the power to transform into a human. When you come to the human village where you always hear laughter, you will always hear laughter. No one could see her, and because of her great strength, none of the youkai dared to play with her.

Obviously it's very cute, it's obvious that it can bloom beautiful flowers, and there will always be the fragrance of golden wood on it, but it's always alone.

Why do you have consciousness, it is better to be an unconscious Jinmuxi. Why do you feel lonely, why do you feel so lonely?

In order to play with other youkai, she starts playing pranks to get them to notice her, but she is always respectfully apologized.

I don't understand why they should apologize when they are wrong.

But there are more and more monsters in the mountains, and suddenly there are monsters who are willing to talk to her, drink and chat together, and laugh and play at the banquet together.

It was the day she bloomed, and every year when she bloomed, she would sit on the branches of the trees and watch the youkai and humans who came to admire her blossoms.

It was an old man who didn't look at the flowers that day, but kept looking at her.

The old man could see her.

Happiness was short-lived, and the old man could not go back to the mountain, even if she went down the mountain to find the old man, she could not find it.

The youkai told her that the old man was a human being, and that the life span of human beings was very short.

But she continued to look for the old man, and finally she found a house not far from her, in which she saw what humans called photographs, and on it she saw the old man.

I also saw a photo of a golden tree and a row of words on the photo.

'It's like golden snow, as beautiful as I am, the flower of the golden tree.' ’

……

It's painful to have a relationship with humans.

Su Sheng thought of the little monk in bluestone. A phrase that ghost crows and other youkai say when they talk about humans.

Looking at Su Shang's face, Xia Qing smiled and said, "I, I want to be a human being." I want to see the golden snow as a human being. ”

He was smiling, but his eyes were very sad. Su Sheng looked at her, and the uneasiness in her heart was realized. It was a long time before he said, "Why? If it's lonely, I'll come every year, and if it's me, I'll be with you all the time. ”

At this moment, Su Shang was about to become a god.

But when I heard Qingxia's words. Paused.

"Because I want to be human."

It's not because I'm lonely, it's not because of the old man, it's just because I want to be human.

"It's really willful, obviously there are so many friends, obviously I feel the joy of having companions after being lonely, but now I want to leave them behind and say that I want to be human."

In a voice that was almost like a low roar, he said to Qingxia.

"So, I want to bloom one last time, and I'm a wayward youkai, aren't I?"

The hair that was originally jet black turned blonde. His eyes turned golden, and his pale blue kimono turned emerald green.

The faint fragrance overshadowed the cold air, and even more so the coolness of the early morning.

"Hehe, it's earlier than I thought."

Realizing that he had turned into a golden Qingxia, he said with a smile.

As she spoke, Su Sheng saw that the buds of the golden tree that had only just emerged had become plump.

And at this moment, a pale golden light flashed on Su Shang's body.

The white and red kimono, the waist-length long hair, and the divine breath.

Su Shang became a god.

If it is stopped now, it will be too late.

Qing Xia looked at Su Shang's appearance. His golden eyes were full of surprise.

After a long time, he spoke, "Is it the god?"

"I'm sorry for hiding this all along."

After finishing speaking, Su Shang's hand gently pressed on Jin Muxi's torso. It is necessary to stop the flowering of the golden tree.

Because if Qingxia wants to become a human, it means giving up the life of a monster, and he doesn't want Qingxia to do it.

"Stupid! Stop. ”

Qing Xia immediately screamed, and there was a trace of pain on her face.

And Su Sheng also felt that his divine power was resisted by Qing Xia.

"I'm going to be a human myself! Even if I am said to be selfish, even if it is very willful, I want to do it myself! Even Natsume, you're a god-sama. Can't stop it either! ”

Qing Xia's face looked painful, and the transparent tears left cold marks on her face.

"Green Summer"

Su Sheng withdrew his divine power, not because of Qingxia's refusal, but because of that strong wish.

"Let me bloom one last time."

Qingxia's voice was very soft, as light as the wind blowing off leaves.

And when the leaves fall on the calm lake, they will ripple, just like the ripples in Su Shang's heart from Qingxia's words.

……

"Qingxia, you're a fool."

Su Sheng and Qing Xia sat on the branch together and said softly.

"Natsume is, even though he's a god, but he still has to be with youkai. But I'm really envious of Natsume, can I be a god and a monster at the same time, is it because of my powerful divine power? ”

"Even if it's just a bud, it's beautiful."

Su Sheng didn't answer Qingxia's words, but looked at the very familiar prosperity and exclaimed.

Although he knew that this might be the last time Qingxia bloomed, to be honest, he had never seen any osmanthus tree so beautiful even if it was just a bud, and the strong aroma emitted by just the bud was like a surge without giving people a chance to breathe.

"You deliberately didn't answer my question, didn't you! And this is my last flower, how can it not be pretty! ”

"Do you really not regret it? If I can still stop it now. ”

"Well, I don't regret it, and I said goodbye to those guys, and I also said goodbye to Natsume, didn't I?"

"Say goodbye or something, you're so selfish."

"Be selfish, be selfish, anyway, both monsters and humans are very selfish, I know a guy who has a lot of gold coins, but he just won't show me! I'm just looking! In my opinion, that's called selfishness. That's the guy! ”

Following Qingxia's index finger, Su Sheng saw a monster standing respectfully in the forest, the monster had four eyes and four hands, and it looked like a spider, but it had a lot fewer eyes and hands than a spider.

However, Su Sheng also saw the reluctance in the four eyes of this monster, as well as the huge cloth bag he was holding in his four hands.

It's not just him, there are already a lot of youkai around Kaneki.

The little monk of bluestone, Mao Changji, and the boy of Cimu are all in the forest.

Whether it was because they felt the sacred aura on Su Shang's body, or because they came to send their friends.

"Natsume."

"Huh?"

"May I pray to you? It's like humans, but I don't know the rituals of human prayers. ”

"Yes, yes."

Qing Xia smiled, then put her hands together and closed her golden eyes.

"Gods, let me become a human, even if I only have the lifespan of a normal human."

"I'll try."

Su Sheng didn't tell Qing Xia that she couldn't say anything about her wishes, but after hearing Qing Xia's wishes, Su Sheng nodded lightly.

……

With the passage of time, the buds began to bloom gradually, the golden stamens became visible, and the golden light of the sun scattered on these golden flowers, and the golden flowers became more beautiful.

PS: The following content is a preview of the existence of the free chapter side story in the future. It's a literary article.,If you like Wen'er, you can look forward to it.。

A soft breeze swept across my cheeks, and I unconsciously looked in the direction the wind was blowing.

From the windows that open about a third of the way, you can see the pastel-colored sprouts on the trees.

It's not like I want to express my feelings, but I love the season when nature is cloned in green.

And, if I could, I would like to go back to this time when cherry blossoms were full

It's not because of the gorgeous pink, but because at this time, I can spend every day happily with everyone.

But the thought that this is a new environment makes me nervous and confused. ”

……

Su Sheng held a brown notebook and whispered the words on it, and read the tens of thousands of words in about half an hour.

This is Wen'er's notebook, and the contents on it are the beginning of the light novel he wrote.

"Wen'er is as powerful as ever."

Shota stood beside Su Shang and let out such an exclamation.

"Well, it's amazing, I think it's beautiful."

Su Sheng raised her head and looked at Wen'er.

"That's good. I thought it would be better to show you before I submitted. ”

"I think it's okay to get the draft, it's very well written."

Su Sheng looked back at the notebook and said. (To be continued.) )xh118
