Chapter 18: 'Stories'

"His Highness Mo......"

"Ink."

"Huh!?" , Yuyuko, who was interrupted, was stunned.

"Hmm......", Mo reached out and scratched his forehead, it seemed a little difficult to speak, but in the end he still raised his head to look at the other party.

"Don't you think the title 'Your Highness' sounds a bit too raw......

Seeing that the other party still didn't seem to understand, Mo tangled for a moment, and finally looked at the other party and explained: "To be honest, I hope you can just call my name, Your Highness or something, it's really ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he shook his head with a wry smile......

"This ......", Yuyuko hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and finally the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but they were fleeting, "Then I might as well be respectful." ”

Then the words changed, looked at Mo and said, "But on the other hand, you can't continue to use honorifics." ”

"Forehead ......", Mo was stunned, then nodded: "That's natural." ”

"So, continuing with the topic just now, Modian...... Mo, the last time you mentioned that you encountered a 'zombie' in that canyon of death, and that was the first time you encountered an existence like the Necromantic Nether, did you say that you had never been commissioned to do so before? ”

Ink nodded, "Well, that's true. In fact, part of the reason for this is because of our family's inheritance method. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Youyouzi ......", well, it will still be a little ...... to call him by his name like this, Mo couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then his thoughts moved, and the slightest embarrassment and other emotions that rose in his heart were quickly smoothed out, and his tone returned to calm and indifferent:

"You should also know, our Usami family has been a kendo family for generations. And compared to most tangible and qualitative monsters, when dealing with intangible and qualitative existences such as ghosts, but in the eyes of the world, I am afraid that it is still a more mysterious onmyoji, and the first-class mage will come ......"

Ah, indeed...... Hearing this, Yuyuko opened her mouth slightly, and then nodded in agreement.

"Well, although the cultivation is deep, in fact, the two are on the same path in a sense. Even if it is a tangible blade, it can cut off the invisible spirit, but after all, it is indeed a specialty, so not only are outsiders less likely to entrust us with this kind of problem, but even most of us don't really want to accept this kind of commission......"

"Over time, this kind of 'existence' rarely appears in our commission, and I, naturally, have not had much opportunity to come into contact with this kind of 'existence'......"

Yuyuko nodded clearly, such an explanation is quite reasonable.

Mo shook his head silently in his heart, although this was indeed part of the reason. But in fact, the bigger reason is that there are indeed very few 'dead souls' in this world.

Obviously, this is a world full of all kinds of legendary ghosts and monsters, but for some reason, those 'resentful ghosts' who can really harm the world are rarely present.

Even if he went out of his way to investigate, he didn't get much. It can only be said that the existence of the 'underworld' in this world may really manage people, and on the side of death, it has a strict and powerful ruling power.

Of course, there is no need to say these to the other party, after all, it is just some speculation of his own, and there is no way to verify the facts, "Then let's continue, in fact, there is a karma ...... about the encounter with the 'zombie general'."

When Mo slowly talked about the man-eating 'Cherry Blossom Demon Tree', Yuyuko's figure shook suddenly, and Mo, who was sitting opposite, naturally noticed this scene.

But soon after that, she regained her composure again, and said nothing about it, seeing this, Mo is thoughts turned in her heart, and she couldn't understand it, so she ignored it for the time being and continued to talk......

“…… In the end, after I was completely sure that the other party had already lost his soul, and there was no longer any 'personality' except for the deepest obsession, I could only take action and bury the other party completely......"

It wasn't until Mo Jiang finished saying this that the figure sitting opposite didn't say a word, and was silent for a long time, before he slowly sighed softly, "Is this really a very sad story......?"

"yes......", Mo nodded, "but it's also a very 'stupid' story." ”

"Stupid ......", Yuyuko raised her head and looked at Mo.

"The stupid two, choose a stupid way of life, die stupidly, and then stupidly turn into an ignorant and unconscious 'monster', even if the last trace of obsession can be achieved, but at that time they are no longer 'themselves', and they can't even feel a sigh of affection, they are really stupid and can't be stupid anymore......"

Yuyuko was silent for a moment, then sighed quietly, "Indeed, this is a very 'stupid' story......

"But I don't hate ...... for such 'stupidity,'" Mo continued.

"Huh!?" Yuyuko looked up in surprise.

Mo's eyelids closed slightly, looking at the wisps of hot tea on the table,

"They are indeed 'stupid' and cannot live freely or die peacefully. But at least, they carried out their will, insisted on their choice, and even after a hundred years of time, their last obsession was still achieved, and I don't hate such a 'stupid' choice......"

"......", Yuyuko opened her mouth slightly, her pink eyes surging with complex and incomprehensible emotions, and finally, she regained her calm, stood up, and saluted to Mo:

"Thank you, Ink."

"Huh?!" In the face of this sudden thanks, Mo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Yuyuko shook her head and didn't explain much, "It's dark at night, so let's stop here tonight." I'm sorry to bother you for so long......"

"Where, I'm bothered a lot." , Mo stood up, "Well, in fact, my 'story' has been told almost now, and then, there is only the story about the 'Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord'......"

Hearing this, Yuyuko's eyes lit up, and then nodded and smiled: "Then this is really exciting......

"Huh...... It's good if you like it......", Mo nodded, then thought about it sideways, "By the way, after my 'story', I don't know if you can tell me about your 'story'......"

Yuyuko was stunned, her thin cherry lips opened slightly, and finally she pursed it and turned into silence.

"Ah, I'm sorry, but I was abrupt, if you don't want to......"

"No......", Yuyuko interrupted Mo with her head shaken, "Actually, I just think my own 'story' is too boring. Compared to the magnificent 'world' you have experienced, my 'trivial things' are really difficult to handle. ”

"......", Mo opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, Yuyuko nodded and turned to leave.

…… To be continued......
