Chapter 12: Dark 2
The brilliant darkness is as if smoke of various colors are mixed together.
The room that didn't know the fire was soon assimilated by the darkness.
I don't know that I have been looking at the unpredictable darkness all the time, and those darkness has gradually begun to sort it regularly.
Chen Beibei and Guan Hu can't see anything now, after all, Chen Beibei and Guan Hu haven't seen the real Liren Pavilion.
But.
It's not the same if you don't know fire.
From Shiranui's eyes, it can be seen that Shiranui is very excited and looking forward to it at the moment.
"I don't know if I'm sure I'll be able to recall the things that correspond to the Pavilion from the approximate distribution of those colors."
Chen Beibei thought secretly.
"Wow, master, a table has appeared next to you!"
Hopping Sister's voice rang out.
Chen Beibei looked at it, and a red table did appear on his right.
The whole table is red and looks very beautiful.
Just as Chen Beibei looked at the table, everything around him began to change rapidly.
High walls, columns, eaves, beams, tiles......
Everything came out one by one.
Shiranui's body trembled slightly, which seemed a little inconsistent with Shiranui's usual very stable character.
"The ...... of the Leaver Pavilion"
In the mouth of the ignorant fire, he muttered softly.
Liren Pavilion is probably the place she is most familiar with for Shiranui.
Everyone who has known Shiranui in his life.
They all met in the Liren Pavilion, including the owner of the Liren Pavilion that she once respected, and the seniors she loved.
After the disappearance of the Leaver Pavilion.
Kamo Yoshishin has become the only one who does not know fire, but human life is too short for youkai.
Yoshishin Kamo soon passed away, and in the days that followed, only one butterfly accompanied Shiranui.
"I don't know the fire, the Liren Pavilion in the future will be the home of you and He Mao Yixin."
Chen Beibei looked at Zhihuo and said to her.
The flaming butterfly stood silently on Shiranui's shoulder, flapping its wings slightly.
It is capable of understanding human speech.
Chen Beibei has always regarded the Flame Butterfly as He Mao's righteous heart, even if there is only a part of He Mao's righteous soul in the body of the Flame Butterfly.
"Thank you, host ......"
Ignorant Fire looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.
After the completion of the construction of the Leaving Pavilion, the darkness was completely unmoving, and it looked as if it was sleeping.
The original darkness like smoke has truly become something else.
Timber.
Stone.
Bamboo.
Minwa ......
Maybe these things are just fake, but they are not something that humans can distinguish.
Neither can youkai!
……
Standing in the bustling and beautiful Pavilion of the Lost People is like being in a beautiful ukiyo-e.
There was a faint aroma wafting through the air.
It was very comfortable to ask, this was a smell that Chen Beibei had never smelled.
It doesn't feel a little repulsive.
It's as if the aroma was part of the air.
"Wow, that's beautiful, isn't it?"
Sister Hopping is bouncing around in the Pavilion of the Leavers, as if she wants to see every place in the Pavilion of the Departures.
The scent in the air gradually became clear, and there seemed to be some ethereal sound in my ears.
It's the sound of the three strings.
It is also accompanied by the singing of the female rao......
On the stage of the hall of the Rijin Pavilion, there was a geisha wearing a kimono in a trance.
The sound of singing and the sound of the three strings came from her.
Subsequently.
The number of people on the stage gradually increased, most of them were women, and among them there were also male workers who helped with the odd jobs.
Looking at the busy people on the stage, it seems that they are also in a juice of enjoyment...
"Woo ......"
Sister Hopping chased her zombie dog, and the zombie dog ran past Chen Beibei's feet.
Chen Beibei felt a shadow flash in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, he only saw the empty stage, as well as the zombie head and the jumping sister who were bouncing around.
"Is it all a hallucination?"
Chen Beibei muttered.
The sound of the three strings disappeared, the singing of the female rao, and the laughter on the stage all disappeared.
Chen Beibei looked at his Shishen.
They seem to be in a very immersed state, probably falling into the same hallucinations as themselves.
Chen Beibei found a place to sit down: "Let them immerse themselves in the hallucination." That's pretty good, isn't it? ”
……
When the Shikigami all came to their senses, it was already evening, and the sky was full of red clouds.
"You saw those Kabuhimes too, right?"
Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and asked them.
"Well, such a woman, I'm afraid it's hard to see now."
Guan Fox Road.
"yes, times are different."
Chen Beibei replied.
Brother Jumping and Brother Jumping should also meet and talk, but for them to come, they shouldn't be able to understand what those Ran Di represent.
"Did those people really exist?"
Jumping Brother asked.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei nodded: "But that was a long, long time ago." ”
"It's really beautiful. Their voices are also very good......"
The younger brother looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.
"Shiranui is the most powerful and beautiful of them all."
North Chenbei Road.
The jumping brother froze for a moment, and then his eyes moved to Shiranui's body.
Ignorant fire.
It's really beautiful, even in normal clothes.
But.
The three brothers and sisters have been living with Shiranui, and this beauty is easy to overlook.
Shiranui looked at his younger brother and showed a shallow smile.
A smile is born.
The jumping brother was stunned for a long time, Chen Beibei didn't know that they were far away, and they still stood stupidly in place.
"Brother, hurry up and go, what's the daze!"
Sister Jumping hit her brother on the head hard, and then said.
The red sky, the bustling Liren Pavilion, and the three brothers and sisters who are jumping and jumping.
"What a beautiful one."
Guan Fox Road.
"Well, but we should go back now. It's already evening, and Chen Yan and the three-tailed fox are estimated to have gone home from work. ”
Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and said to her.
Chen Yan works in the kindergarten and gets off work at half past five in the afternoon.
And the time when the three-tailed fox gets off work is not so fixed.
Sometimes if you are not busy, you may get off work at three or four o'clock, and if you are busy, it is possible to work overtime until ** o'clock in the evening.
"Master, are you going to leave now?"
Sister Hopping jumped to Chen Beibei's side, looking reluctant to let Chen Beibei leave.
"yes, I'll play with you next time."
Chen Beibei looked at his sister, touched her head, and then said.
"Goodbye, master!"
"Goodbye!"
……
Back in reality, Chen Beibei woke up from the bed.
Chen Beibei looked out of the window, the sun was about to set, the time of the real world, and the time of the courtyard in a different dimension. It seems to have started to synchronize gradually.
"Master, what are you thinking?"
Guan Hu looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.
"Nothing. I just feel that the time in the garden is gradually the same as the real time. It wasn't like that in the past. ”
Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and replied to her.
"Maybe the owner has also started to get used to our yokai time."
Guan Fox Road.
The time of the monster is actually different from the time of the human, and the time of the monster is even slower.
But.
Because a youkai can only be a youkai, and a human can only be a human. So at this point, basically no one will notice.
"Hmm."
Chen Beibei nodded a fraction.
When Chen Beibei's consciousness went to the courtyard, perhaps, in a sense, those consciousnesses were already the same existence as monsters.
So.
It's also normal to be able to feel the time of the yokai.
Once upon a time, when Chen Beibei entered the courtyard, he would feel that time had passed for a long, long time.
But in reality, it may only be a few minutes that have passed.
It should be only Chen Beibei's consciousness that has begun to try to leave**, and he still has some connection with **, so the time he feels is only the time in the real world.
"Chen Beibei, I'm back!"
Chen Yan's voice sounded, and the sound should still be outside the door, but the sound was very loud, and it could still be heard clearly.
"Guan Hu, let's go out."
North Chenbei Road.
When Chen Beibei and Guan Hu came to the courtyard together, Chen Yan pushed the door in.
There were also some snowflakes on his clothes and hair.
"Why don't you have an umbrella?"
Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and asked her.
"There was a child in the kindergarten who forgot to bring an umbrella, so I gave it to him."
Chen Yan patted the snow on his clothes with his hand and walked towards Chen Beibei.
"Wait." Chen Beibei finished, stretched out his hand and gently pulled down the snowflakes on Chen Yan's hair: "How is it today?" ”
"It's okay, the children are more sensible now than before, and it's not so difficult to bring."
Chen said tiredly.
"I didn't know anything before, so I should have Yingcao here......"
Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and said slowly.
Yingcao, who was still playing with the snow in the alley at the door, secretly rubbed a snowball and threw it on Chen Beibei's body: "I didn't take those children badly." ”
"Sister Yingcao, have you forgotten about eating children?"
The boy leaned into Yingcao's ear and said in a loud voice.
Chen Beibei didn't go to Li Yingcao and Zashiki Boy, but just chatted with Chen Yan.
After all.
Yingcao and Zashiki are with them almost all the time, and there is no need to play with them all the time.
"Chen Yan, in the days when I was away, did you find a boyfriend duck?"
Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and asked her.
"Huh?"
Chen Yan probably didn't expect Chen Beibei to suddenly ask like this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Chen Beibei, you haven't found a girlfriend either. You're older than me! ”
Chen said tiredly.
"I have so many Shikigami that I don't need a girlfriend ......"
Chen Beibei was playing with the snowy Zashiki boy and Yingcao, and said slowly.
Chen Yan thought for a while, and then said, "Eh...... I have a three-tailed fox with me, and I don't need a boyfriend to ......"
In the days when Chen Beibei was away, it was the three-tailed fox who accompanied Chen Yan all the time.
And.
The three-tailed fox is now more and more like a real human.
Chen Yan will be like this, probably he has already regarded the three-tailed fox as a person who can really rely on each other.
In Qinghe Town, there are not many young boys, and if Chen Yan has been a kindergarten teacher, he will have even less contact.
So.
If you want to find a boyfriend, it should be more difficult.
But.
It may be just, Chen Yan thinks, there is really no need to find a boyfriend.
The sun set silently, the moon appeared in the sky, and the stars emerged one by one.
The moonlight falls on the snow, emitting a bright light.
Even if you don't turn on the lights, everything in the yard is clearly visible.
"Chen Yan, I'm back."
The voice of the three-tailed fox rang out, and then there was a creak, and the door of the courtyard opened.
The three-tailed fox was wearing a blue overalls, and his hair was neatly tied into a bunch, looking a little handsome.
This is the clothes she wears when she works in a shroud shop, because shroud shop is just a very ordinary job. If you're wearing your usual clothes, it's a bit bells and whistles.
That might give the impression of a vase.
In general, working in such a place still requires down-to-earth work.
"The host ,......"
The three-tailed fox seemed a little embarrassed when he saw Chen Beibei looking at him.
I guess I think it's too casual for me to look like this.
After all.
When Chen Beibei first met the three-tailed fox, the three-tailed fox has always been a mature female image that exudes a charming atmosphere.
"Three-tailed fox, this is also very good-looking."
North Chenbei Road.
When the three-tailed fox heard Chen Beibei say this, he also laughed and returned to his previous casual appearance.
Apparently.
In the days when Chen Beibei was away, the three-tailed fox had already taken on the task of protecting Chen Yan.
And.
Seems to be done...... It's even better than Chen Beibei imagined!
"Master, I'll go to the room and change my clothes, and I'll cook for you later."
Three-tailed fox road.
"Don't bother, let's wait and eat outside."
Chen Beibei looked at the three-tailed fox and said to her.
The three-tailed fox is actually quite tired, every time he has to go to work, he has to cook, clean and so on after work.
But.
When the three-tailed fox does this, he is always full of energy, as if he likes to do these things very much.
Probably this is a youkai.
When you give for the person you like, you feel extremely happy.
"Are you going out to eat?"
The three-tailed fox asked.
"Well, you've worked hard these days, so let's go out for a good meal today."
Chen Beibei looked at the three-tailed fox and said slowly.
Chen Yan and the three-tailed fox have very low salaries, and the three-tailed fox also has a penchant for buying beautiful clothes.
So.
On weekdays, the two of them almost cook by themselves and live a frugal life.
As for Chen Beibei, of course, it's about the same.
Chen Beibei relied on selling talismans to make money, and he could afford the rent and daily expenses. But that's about it.
