Hanako came back so quickly and calmly, which was simply beyond Yanhime's expectations.

"I haven't seen you in days, Lady Yanhime. I'm here to make an appointment. ”

- A human named Hanako wants to dedicate his soul to Yanhime.

This agreement, she came.

Yan Ji paused for a long time before squinting her eyes slightly.

"Oh, concubine, remember, that promise is your soul after death, right?"

- Although when she made the agreement, she thought that in a month, she would go to Hanako and kill her.

Hanako was silent for a long time about Yanhime's reaction, then smiled softly and turned around and went down the mountain.

Yan Ji had a complicated mood as she watched the slender girl leave step by step, and then disappeared into the smoke.

- Well, forget it, for the sake of her providing herself with some fun, it's not impossible to just let her go.

Yanhime told herself this in her heart, and then she was surprised to find that Hanako hadn't left the mountain.

When she came, she was wearing very ordinary clothes, and covered her face with mud, and then she dug up some wild vegetables in the mountains, collected some firewood, and carried them to the town below the mountain to sell.

Hanako just lived at the foot of Yunwu Mountain, and she lived here for more than forty years.

Hanako never saw the beautiful female youkai again, but she always remembered her.

She remembered that she deliberately shook all the fruit of a tree to the ground when she climbed up the tree to pick the fruit, and when she picked it up on the ground, she let the wind blow them around, and when she saw that she was lost, she blew them over again.

She remembered that she had deliberately chased them all away when she had worked so hard in the creek, and had let them jump out of the stream on their own when she was tired and panting and hungry.

She remembers many ......

Obviously, she and she have only lived together for less than a month, but she has remembered it for a lifetime.

- What a pity.

I can't see Smoke-sama again.

- Even though she's a monster, she's also a very gentle big sister.

Hanako was lying on the creaking bed, and the wind outside shook the leaves, sometimes mixed with the sound of dripping.

She moved her fingers, trying to sit up and glance out the door.

- This sound, it's raining, right?

This cloudy mountain is filled with thick fog all day long, and it is rare for it to rain once.

Hanako thought like this, and the regret in her heart grew.

- I don't have the strength to get up and take a look.

"Want to see it?"

"It's raining outside."

- Ah, is that youkai sister?

Hanako struggled to control the corners of her mouth and showed a gentle smile, the wrinkles on her face made her expression look less soft than she expected.

"You're here, Yanhime."

She whispered Smoke's name.

It was the first time she had called it — probably the last time.

Yan Ji was silent, then nodded in response, and unexpectedly did not use her demon power, but leaned down and hugged the skinny Hanako.

The moment she picked it up, Yan Ji was a little stunned.

- Humans, is it so light?

Smoke Ji placed the flower on an oblique branch, and there were fine and dense rains falling from the sky, and the fog of the entire Cloud Mountain seemed to be washed away, making the sky brighter.

Hanako looked up at the sky, and her eyes were bent.

"Gray-blue, sky, I see it."

The rain silk was controlled and did not fall on Hanako, her silver-gray hair was neatly combed, and she was wearing a gift from Yanji in the half month when she lived with one person and one monster many years ago.

Gorgeous flowers bloomed on the purple kimono, and Hanako shivered, and took out a hairpin from her bosom - a very ordinary hairpin, which Hanako had bought and wanted to give to Yanhime as a gift in return.

- It's just that she didn't send it out at the time.

Smoke Hime looked down at Hanako's trembling hands and the hairpin.

Hanako gasped and smiled, "I'm going to die, look, my soul, is it still what you want?" ”

Yanhime looked at Hanako's soul seriously and did not speak.

"Or is it?"

Seeing that Yanji didn't speak, Hanako was a little anxious, and she asked again as if she was urging.

Smoke just suddenly felt a little uncomfortable—unexplained discomfort.

Hanako thinks she hasn't seen Yanhime since then.

Not really.

Smoke Hime kept an eye on her.

How long she lived under the mountain, Yan Ji watched her.

In the early morning, the mist in the mountains and forests is steaming and the clouds are her, and the mist floating on the water of the stream at dusk is also her, she is a monster born from the smoke, and where the smoke arrives, it is as if she exists.

When Hanako got up early this morning and struggled to take out the purple kimono from the cabinet, Yanhime saw it.

Then she silently watched Hanako support washed herself with the water she had drawn yesterday at a very slow pace, changed into the kimono, and used a comb to straighten her hair, and finally lay down on the bed weakly.

Suddenly it rained in the Cloud Mountain.

In fact, it never rained in Yunwu Mountain.

Because of the presence of the smoke hime, the thick fog blocks almost all the weather from the clouds, and the change of the seasons can only be reflected in the temperature.

But it suddenly rained in Yunwu Mountain today.

Yan Ji heard many little monsters scattered on the mountain in panic, and she heard a little monster ask her companion why Yan Ji was unhappy.

She was a little angry.

This little monster is really bold.

When was she unhappy?

- It's just a little monster, and he even speculates about her thoughts.

Yanhime, who was thinking like this, finally couldn't hold back her words when she saw Hanako trembling and wanted to get up and look at the door.

"Want to see it? It's raining outside. ”

- Hanako has never seen rain in Yunwu Mountain, so she must be happy to see it before she dies, so her soul will definitely become more dazzling.

Yanhime told herself, and then walked into the room and picked up Hanako.

- She just wanted to fulfill Hanako's last wish before she died, so that she could willingly give her soul to herself.

——————————————

"Smoke-sama, can you help me put it on?"

Hanako's silence made Hanako feel a little disappointed, but soon she raised her arm and tried to put the hairpin in her hand and smiled at Yanhime.

"Just think of it as my last wish before I die."

Smoke Hime picked up the hairpin from Hanako's hand and inserted it between Hanako's hair.

In fact, Hanako's hair was already very thin, and such a hairpin couldn't be inserted at all, so Yanhime had to use her demonic power to fix it there, like a moth struggling to fall.

Seeing that Yanhime's hand was gone, Hanako smiled.

"Is it pretty?"

Yan Ji opened her mouth and replied with a smile: "Well, it's quite elegant." ”

"It's so gentle...... Smoke-sama. ”

Hanako's voice is soft.

"Being so gentle all the time makes people ......"
