He wandered his gaze around the rows of bookshelves and casually asked, "Now, has there been anything difficult to solve recently?" ”

Shiraka shook his head very obediently: "No, no." ”

Qiao Xi smiled, didn't ask anything more, took a random book on the bookshelf by himself, and then sat down on the corridor again.

When he went back to the place, Buyue was lying on the floor as if he had slept.

He couldn't help but smile and shook his head, then sat down quietly.

- Well, how to say it, in fact, after so many years in this world, he has already had such an awareness.

Qiao Xi smiled unconsciously.

Although he felt a little lost, he glanced at the little monsters running around and playing in the yard.

- He's not alone.

Buyue slept for months, and after waking up, he suddenly said that there was nothing left to challenge the monsters around him, so he was going to wander the world.

"-Anyway,I want to go to Okawayama to see.,Although I've seen the wine swallowing boy but I haven't fought him yet.,I've heard that the Ibaraki boy is also very powerful.,Ah,And the big tengu of Kurama Mountain...... Oh yes, and the desolation of the North Sea...... Oh, there are a lot of powerful monsters! Visit them all! ”

Buyue opened her bright eyes and was full of interest.

Qiao Xi was silent.

- Visit? It would be more appropriate to say that it was a provocation, right?

Buyue nagged and recited the names of many big monsters famous for their powerful force value, and then clapped his palms: "It's decided!" Head north from here! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Xi, blinked his eyes, and then reached out and scooped him into his arms and rubbed him, and exclaimed: "Ah~ Such a cute Oudoudou will never be seen in the future!" ”

“……”

Qiao Ximu pushed him away with a face: "No...... It's not like I won't come back. ”

Buyue's eyes flashed slightly, and she let go of her hand like a stream: "That's what you said~ Na, will you wait for me here?" ”

As he spoke, he bent down slightly to look at Qiao Xi's eyes, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were surprisingly serious.

Qiao Xi paused, then raised his head and looked at Buyue fixedly.

After a long while, he chuckled softly: "Ah, I'll be waiting for you here, always." ”

Buyue bent her eyes and laughed softly.

This smile seems indescribably gentle, but it is rare to smile like this.

His smile is mostly arrogant and wanton, with occasional cold and mocking laughter, and other laughs of all kinds, but it never matches gentleness.

Qiao Xi raised his head, the bright sunlight sprinkled in the courtyard, illuminating the courtyard very brightly, and he bent over and stood in front of him with his back to the sun and smiled slightly.

- I felt that my heart unconsciously softened.

Qiao Xi thought about it, tilted his head, closed the book in his hand with a "snap", and said with a smile: "Sa, you have to keep your eyes open and look at it, and come back and tell me." ”

Buyue squinted her eyes and patted her chest, swearing: "No problem." ”

"So—goodbye."

"Ah, goodbye."

————————————————

Futsuki really left the shrine and never came back for a hundred years.

However, at this time, Qiao Xi didn't expect that Buyue would be away for so long, and he was still sitting cross-legged in the corridor at this time, thinking about what entertainment he would add in the future.

He didn't like to go out very much, and every time he came back when he wasn't there, he would grab him and tell him what he saw and heard outside, and Qiao Xi was quite interesting to listen to.

However, now that Buyue is gone, there is one less activity in his life to pass the time.

- Well, it looks like it's time to get out and about.

Qiao Xi touched his chin and announced to the group of monsters in the shrine.

The youkai unanimously expressed their shock.

"Really?"

"Lord Fengyue God is finally willing to go out!"

"Quick! Tell the youkai in the neighborhood! ”

……

Qiao Xi: "......"

He silently wiped the sweat on his forehead: "That...... No matter what, don't be so exaggerated......"

"Lord Fengyuejin, you can't say that. I've been at the shrine for decades, and I've never seen you go out! Woo woo~ I finally saw it today! My lord! I was so impressed!! ”

“……”

Qiao Xi held his forehead, indicating that he was speechless.

It's a lantern ghost who stayed at the shrine a long time ago.,It's a very weak youkai.,But because you've been in the human world for many years.,So the character is unexpected among the youkai...... Lively.

Lord Fengyue God had a rare time going out, and the little monsters were very conscientious and prepared a lot of things for Qiao Xi, such as human clothing, food, money, and the like.

By the time Qiao Xi was pushed out of the shrine gate, he had a big burden in his hand inexplicably.

He stood in the doorway, and stretched out weakly.

"That...... I say...... I don't mean to go now......"

A gust of wind whipped up a few fallen leaves.

Qiao Xi choked, glanced at the big burden in his hand, and scratched his cheek helplessly: "Well~ Forget it, so be it." Thereupon...... Where to go first? ”

He touched his chin and stood in place, pondering.

After a long time, he clenched his right hand into a fist and gently hammered it in his left palm.

"By the way, let's go find Qingming!"

"Very good, let's go—to Kyoto!"

He booked a place to go, and like an ordinary human traveler, he set out in the direction of Kyoto with his baggage.

Qiao Xi has never been out of such a far gate in this world, and in fact, he doesn't know how to get to Kyoto, but only knows a general location.

When he hadn't found the right path after a day of walking, he couldn't help but stop.

Suddenly, he turned his head and said, as if he was talking to someone, "Now, do you know how to get around Kyoto?" ”

There was silence in the air for a few moments, and a shadow suddenly emerged from the void.

- It's a youkai in the shrine, Philip.

Speaking of which, this youkai is also a well-known youkai, with a bit of a raccoon look, a white tail, and a mane similar to a horse's mane on its neck, but it is very large - much bigger than Qiao Xi anyway.

It is more famous among human beings, I heard that raising it can relieve sorrows, Qiao Xi also found that Philip's luck is inexplicably good, there is no reason at all, it is unreasonable good luck.

- I didn't expect those youkai to let it come out with me.

Qiao Xi asked, and Philip had no choice but to appear, thought for a long time, and said, "Then, let me send the adults to the neighboring towns." ”
