The end result is not a fairy tale-like ending.

After Kondo-kun and Snow Maiden lived in that village for just a few days, their souls dissipated, and the fragile human body simply did not allow him to live with a youkai like Snow Maiden for a long time.

At that time, at the same time, there was also the Snow Maiden who had lived alone on the snowy mountain for hundreds of years.

"Why?"

- That level of dissipation is completely controllable as a youkai.

As long as she returns to the snowy mountain, the Snow Maiden's body will return to its most perfect state.

Why?

Why stay here, Kondo-kun has already dissipated, hasn't it?

"Because...... It's so lonely. ”

When he said this, the youkai born from the ice and snow had gradually revealed a form that was more inclined to be a youkai due to the passage of demonic energy.

Little by little, the girl's silver hair turned into beautiful snowflakes, and then melted into the air.

"Living alone on a snowy mountain, far from all living things, all the time, all the time, all the way there was only icy snow.

Occasionally, I want to go down the mountain to have a look, but I am expelled by terrified humans.

When Kondo-kun appeared, I was thinking, ah, what a strange human being......"

"Even though he is only a human being, he seems to have no fear of anything in the world."

"What a strange human."

The Snow Maiden smiled slightly, and repeated it again in confidence, and the sound that had always been covered with ice and snow seemed to become soft.

"For the first time, I knew that the human heart was such a warm thing."

- Kondo-kun has a pair of eyes that can see the soul, so everything in his eyes almost shows his true meaning.

"It's a very beautiful color."

Kondo-kun, who was about to die, looked at the Snow Maiden and smiled and said what he said when he first met the Snow Maiden.

"He's so warm when he says that...... It's warm, and once you touch it, you don't want to let go of it again. ”

That was the first time that Qiao Xi clearly realized that he had indeed become a completely different being from humans.

His life was stretched almost indefinitely, and the emotions belonging to human beings were gradually annihilated by the long river of time.

What's left in the end?

A monster with great power but no heart?

Or will they realize this before they become monsters and choose to dissipate themselves.

Qiao Xi suddenly smiled slightly.

At that time, I really had such thoughts.

But......

He looked up at the swords in the courtyard who were playing or watching, as well as the monsters who had been waiting for him from beginning to end, and he couldn't help but feel a very special feeling in his heart, as soft and sweet as cotton candy in the human world.

"That's nice......"

"yes, that's good, that's the ending."

The young man next to him, Liu Shengxin, heard Qiao Xi's exclamation and unconsciously answered.

Qiao Xi was slightly stunned - although his exclamation was not talking about this, but ......

Well, it's not bad.

His story is not short, and after the onlookers of the visible sword men and the invisible little monsters finished expressing their feelings one by one, the sky gradually darkened, so Qiao Xi clapped his hands and said in a long voice: "Okay-"

"It's time to say goodnight - that's it, right?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Imaken, and then a group of small short knives cheered and ran away with Natsume and Yanagi Shin.

Qiao Xi: "......"

Does he still have a little bit of majesty as the head of the family?!

The young man quickly became acquainted with Natsume, albeit in a misunderstanding between the two parties.

However, in view of their special ability to make them separate from the crowd, the two people who are consciously able to have the scars in each other's hearts and have gentle elements in their personalities have a very tacit understanding that they did not mention this matter in front of each other, so they got along for a while, and the two of them were still-

One thinks that the other party can see the monster just like himself.

The other thinks that the other person can see the future of others just as much as they do.

For this, Qiao Xi can only say...... This is the misunderstanding caused by gentleness.

There were too many warm days in his daily life, and Qiao Xi almost forgot that he still had a profession as a god inquisitor who needed to travel through various worlds - if it weren't for Kitsunosuke crying and wanting to hold his leg and beg him to go back to Honmaru to do the task.

Although Qiao Xi's biological tolerance for plush is generally quite high, this Kitsunosuke is crying too ugly, and the hair on his body is wet and tangled with snot and tears, which makes it look a little difficult to look at.

So Qiao Xi quickly moved two steps to the side, and the galloping Kitsunosuke hit the steps directly, and the miserable cry was choked in his throat.

"Well, don't be so excited."

Qiao Xi pressed Kitsunosuke's head with a fan to watch it flutter in place, and Hasebe was very keenly aware of his master's dislike.

His expression was grim, and he stepped forward to pick up Kitsunosuke with one hand, and said to Qiao: "Kitsunosuke wants to take a bath, please wait for a while, master." ”

Kitsunosuke: "......"

Qiao Xi: "......"

It didn't take long for Kitsunosuke, who appeared in front of Qiao Xi again, to be a glamorous and good fox again.

"That's reliable, Hasebe."

Ignoring the expression of the fox no-suke, Qiao Xi scanned the letter sent by the government, nodded his chin to the Hasebe next to him, and said, "Since that's the case, let's go back to Honmaru and go and prepare." ”

"Yes."

Since the speed of time in each world is not the same, Qiao Xi is not sure about the length of time in this world during his mission, so after thinking about it, he told Natsume's children that he was going to go far away, and the return date was uncertain.

Natsume's children's wet eyes instantly became even wetter.

Qiao Xi: "......"

Although I think that the child looks a little pitiful, but he has been absent from work for so long, although the contract was originally loose, but it is not a matter of always being in such a pension state.

As for the matter of the government of time and the God Inquisitor, Qiao Xi can't say it directly to Natsume because of the rules, but it's actually okay to hint a little - just like when he hinted that his brother was not the moon god.

- Well, I just don't know how old Natsume's children are to understand whether they can hear or not......

Cough.

Before leaving, Qiao Xi was really a little worried.

- But then he remembered that he had seen Natsume's child after he came out of a space-time portal called the Well of Bone Eating - no, Takashi was already a teenager at that time.

And at that time, the child seemed to be holding a fat cat in his hand?

emmm……

So before you leave, take the time to talk to that fat cat about life.

and Friends' Accounts——?

Qiao Xi thought about it, and scattered all the monsters and sword men under his command, and collectively inquired about a fat cat and the so-called "friend account".
