Chapter 31: The Gathering of Spellcasters (3)

The beckoning cat walked off Takashi Natsume's shoulder the moment he entered the banquet hall and ran to a table and poured himself a glass of sake.

"Huh? Who are those two children who haven't seen each other? ”

"Ah, that seems to be Reiko, Reiko Natsume."

"Reiko Natsume? And who is the other one? ”

"I don't know, I haven't seen it."

There was a sound of discussion in his ears, and Takashi Natsume turned his head and searched the crowd.

Who's talking?

Youkai, or human?

The joy on Mako's face gradually disappeared after stepping into the inner circle, and he even frowned slightly.

It's too noisy.

And, too, there are a lot of negative emotions.

"Masa-sama." The Snow Maiden followed closely to the real world, and she spoke out worriedly.

"Natsume, Miss Mayo, do you want to wear a mask?" Natori came over with two white silk masks on Monday, "Everyone here is trying to get some information, but there are still people who don't want to be disturbed, so it doesn't hurt to declare a fake name to the public." ”

"Doesn't Mr. Natori have to wear a mask to disguise?" Takashi Natsume asked.

Because Natori Monday belongs to the third type of person who directly and boldly shows his face.

Natori raised his hand, stroked his black bucket hat, and took it off, revealing a flawless smile, "Me? I can't. Because I'm too shiny. ”

This is the motto of popular artist Natori Monday.

Mayo and Takashi Natsume: "......."

The beckoning cat did not hide the disgust on her face, and the snow girl was silent, looking at Natori Monday's eyes a little colder.

"I don't want a mask. In the face of absolute strength, everything is a floating cloud. "Mayo rejected Natori's kindness, and in the end only Natsume Takashi accepted.

Although his current personality has changed a lot compared to the beginning, the alternative eyes he has received for a long time are destined to make him still a little uncomfortable with the current group.

When Natori helped Natsume tie his mask on Monday, a female voice suddenly sounded behind them-

"Natori."

Everyone turned their heads, and they were greeted by a woman wearing a visit kimono, her hair had turned gray, and she was protected in the middle by two men wearing white silk masks, who were also wearing visit kimonos.

"Lady Nanase." Natori saw the visitor on Monday and gave a detached smile on his face.

Ms. Nanase is also a demon slayer.,Now the female secretary of the field family of the demon slayer.。

"I've heard that you've subdued a new style of god, so I'm here to see your new style of god." Lady Nanase, who was wearing glasses, approached them.

"If Ms. Nanase is here, is Mr. Nanase here too?" Natori smirked.

"The president walked around the venue, and then said that he had found something interesting, so he went straight first." As she talked about something interesting, Ms. Nanase looked at the beckoning cat on the table next to her.

"Interesting, stuff?" Natori also followed Ms. Nanase's gaze on Monday to look at the beckoning cat.

It is rare in the real world that there is no sound, and the Snow Maiden, who has restrained her demonic energy, cannot be accurately controlled by other gods, and she is even more transparent under the overflowing demonic energy.

"Mr. Natori?" Takashi Natsume called out Natori Monday in confusion.

Natori explained on Monday, "This is Ms. Nanase. The person who organized this party was the one who held it. Mr. Toba is a powerful demon slayer, and Ms. Nanase is his secretary. ”

"Is it strong?" Mashi suddenly spoke, and Ms. Nanase looked at Mase, her eyes swept over the beautiful Snow Maiden, and there was inquiry in her eyes.

"Oh, by the way, Lady Nanase, this is my friend Natsume, and this is Miss Mayo and her Shikigami Yukihime. This is Hiiragi, my new-style god. ”

"Shikigami?" Lady Nanase's eyes flashed with surprise, and she looked at the Snow Maiden with some inquiry.

She's actually a youkai?

I don't even feel half of the demonic energy... To be able to collect the demon qi so freely, how strong should this monster called Yukihime be?!

The Snow Maiden looked at Ms. Nanase coldly.

The breath on this woman's body made her dislike.

Receiving the Snow Maiden's unfriendly look, Lady Nanase restrained her eyes a little and diverted the subject: "I've heard, Natori, you've been hunting down that youkai lately. ”

She was referring to the big-headed demon that had devoured the Raven Demon.

"Sort of, after all, there is a lot of money to be gained, of course I'm more tempted?" Natori played Tai Chi with her on Monday.

"Really? But that monster is very strong, and this prize is not easy to get. Ms. Nanase said meaninglessly.

"Of course I do. However, even if you can't get rid of it, at least you can seal it up first so that no one else will be hurt. ”

Lady Nanase glanced at him and threw out a pot with the word "seal" written on it from her sleeve and gave it to Natori, "I'll take this as a gift for you." This is the Demon Sealing Pot, may you use it at a critical time. ”

"Thank you." Natori smiled and accepted the other party's kindness.

"Don't thank me. I just don't want you to lose your own life by then. With that, Ms. Nanase turned around and left with two bodyguards.

"Maso-sama, are you alright?" As the Shikijin of the real world, she naturally felt the emotions on the real world for the first time.

Natori and Natsume Takashi looked at Mayo, and as the one who invited them to this exchange meeting, Natori Mon asked out loud, "Does Miss Mayo think something is wrong?" ”

Mayo didn't refute his words, and lowered his eyes slightly, "It's not what I imagined," or maybe it's different from the Onmyoji party she once attended.

Mayo felt that even the imaginary snake at the Heiankyo banquet five hundred years ago was much better than it is now.

At that time, the other onmyoji were deeply afraid of her brother Qingming, and even if they had other ideas, they would make a choice again, or be cautious, and never hit her with their ideas.

The look in which Ms. Nanase looked at the Snow Girl just now was inexplicably displeasing to her.

Are the current onmyoji all like this?

There was a blank look on Mayo's face.

"If you think it's boring here, how about we walk around?" Eventually, Natori suggested on Monday.

Mayo nodded happily, and they walked out of the hall to take a look elsewhere.

The golden afterglow of the sunset on the horizon indicates that it is getting late.

The real world and the others followed Natori Monday down the promenade, ready to accompany Natsume Takashi to the check-in formalities.

"Are all the current Onmyoji families like this?" Mayo looked at the people around him who were wearing masks and had weak spiritual power, and said softly.

Natori was a little surprised to hear Mayo's address on Monday, "Onmyoji? No, everyone can only be regarded as a demon slayer now. The real Onmyoji is long unheard of now. ”

Mashi's footsteps paused slightly, "Can't you hear? ”

"Ahh Even some of the charms and spells that have been preserved by our Nayako family until now are not many. Some of them are well preserved, but we can't use those yin and yang techniques, let alone communicate with the gods, and so on. Whether you can feel the gods, or hear the voices of the gods, is a question mark. Natori smiled wryly.

Takashi Natsume, who had been in contact with several gods, remained silent.
