Chapter Eighty-Eight: An Invitation from a Youkai

"Nanako's cooking is amazing!"

"It's delicious."

"It's really delicious, I didn't expect Nanako to make such a delicious dish."

Dinner was served in a glade not far from the villa.

"Huh? What kind of tree is this, it looks completely different from other trees. ”

Shota, who was full, breathed a sigh of relief and lay down directly on the ground, but as if he had found something strange, he turned his head to look behind him.

"The leaves are so green, they are much greener than other trees, and the branches feel different."

Wen'er, who was sitting next to him, stood up and tore off a leaf.

"Even though the leaves look green, there's no sense that something is wrong."

Hiromi jumped up and looked at the tree.

"I think this, this should be a hanging flower tree."

Hayako, who has always been taciturn, carefully observed for a while, and said in a timid tone.

"Hanging flower trees? Is it used to make osmanthus sweet cakes? ”

Shota looked at everyone curiously.

However, for this kind of stupid question, everyone selectively ignores it.

"I remember my dad saying that it was a golden tree, and that it was here when he was a child, and that every autumn it would produce beautiful osmanthus flowers. It's just that it didn't bloom last year. Nanako said.

"Jin Mu Xi remembers that Jin Mu Xi is the kind of tree that will bloom golden and fragrant small flowers." Hiromi looked at Nanako.

"Well, although I don't know the specifics, in autumn the vicinity of this tree is very beautiful and fragrant."

"Ah~~ It's a pity, it's not the time to bloom yet."

Hiromi regretfully reached out and touched the trunk of the tree.

"It would be nice to come back then, I think it will definitely bloom beautiful and fragrant flowers again." Nanako said with a smile.

"Yes, yes."

"Hey, you should answer me quickly, whether the osmanthus sweet cake is made of osmanthus or not."

Yuzen Hirazawa, whose leaves are greener than any other tree, has a picnic in autumn under the beautiful flowers of the golden tree.

"What's wrong? Where is it uncomfortable? ”

But when she saw Su Shang leaning against a tree, she asked softly.

"No, it's nothing, it's just that I'm a little sleepy when I'm full."

I can't say it's because the monsters around me are staring at me, and it's impossible to believe it.

It's around the picnic, behind the trees, in the grass, and so on.

There is an existence that ordinary people can't see.,It's a youkai.。

From the time they started the picnic, these monsters began to stare at Su Shang, and they became more and more numerous, even if Su Shang didn't care about what others looked at, he would feel embarrassed to be stared at like this all the time.

"That's good."

Yu Hirasawa smiled sweetly, and then saw Hayako Kaze, who was pulled by Shota to be a shield.

I immediately went up to protect the wind and Hayako.

"Children of mankind."

This voice sent a chill down Su Shang's spine.

But it was at this time that the leaves of the golden tree rattled, and the violent shaking caused many of the leaves to fall.

Just when the others looked at Jin Muxi curiously.

The monster that appeared next to Su Sheng was the monster who had been carried up the mountain by him before.

"I'm sorry my friend scared you."

"Is that the golden wood?"

It turns out that plants can also turn into youkai.

"Yes, she's not in a good mood because she's been in a bad mood lately."

"That's right."

It turns out to be a youkai, too.

"It's rude to receive your favor without asking your name."

"Ah, no, it's my rudeness, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Natsume."

"It's a good name, I beg your pardon, because the name of the monster is not convenient to tell humans, so I can't tell you my name, but you can call me the little monk of bluestone."

From Shui Yu, Su Shang has learned that in the world of monsters, the name is equivalent to the existence of the name, it seems that it is because

It is said that if you have been mastered, you will recognize the Lord.

By the way, Chunyin's name was said casually by Su Shang, and then Chunyin said that this was her name.

"Yes, but did you come to me for something?"

"It's not a big deal, because of your kindness to me, and because there are very few people among the human race who can see our existence, I want to invite you to our drinking party tonight."

"Drinking party?"

"Yes. Of course, if you have something to do tonight, there is no choice but to invite you next time. ”

"It's fine, it's just that I don't drink."

"It's a drinking party, but it's not just about drinking, it's also about the juice we brew."

"That's fine, where?"

"It's great that you can say yes, I'll pick you up at your residence tonight."

"Yes, yes."

"By the way, when you come tonight, please wear this, it means to be invited friends, after all, some monsters don't have a good impression of humans."

The little bluestone monk holds a wide kimono in both hands.

It is a light pink kimono with an osmanthus pattern on it.

"If you don't think it's appropriate, even if it's on your body."

The bluestone monk then said, it seems that he knows that human boys have resistance to pink.

"Yes, I see."

"Then I'll take my leave, and please don't close the window tonight."

After that, he bowed slightly to Su Sheng and walked into the grass beside him.

And after the little monk of Qingshi left, the monsters who were originally staring at Su Shang curiously with big eyes also dispersed.

"You've been talking to yourself since the beginning."

Just as Su Shang looked down at the kimono, Yumi and the others looked at him curiously.

Because the kimono belongs to the monster thing, no one else can see it.

"I'm just thinking about why there is no wind, but why this is a sudden shaking of the golden wood."

"It's not big, but it's windy! Please don't say such bad things! Nanako seemed a little scared.

No matter how good her physical strength is, she is still a girl.

"Hehe, just kidding, probably because I accidentally bumped into it."

"But it's really weird, it's clear that this level of wind shouldn't cause that kind of shaking." Hiromi looked at Jin Muxi and said suspiciously.

"Hiromi is enough!"

"Hehe, just kidding, let's pack our things and go back, it's not good if something bad comes out."

"Really!"

……

Su Shang smiled, stood up and helped clean up together, and would also join everyone's words and say a few words to scare Nanako.

However, when leaving, he still glanced at Jin Muxi.

It's a beautiful youkai.

I'm looking forward to tonight's banquet even more.
