Saburo was pleasantly surprised.

When Qiao Xi was on the sea, he always had good-looking and delicious snacks, so that Saburo couldn't help but bite off his tongue every time he ate them, and then he learned that these snacks were made by the young lady, and his eyes immediately became earnest when he looked at Yamabuki Otome.

Yamabuki Otome: "......"

She glanced at Qiao Xi silently, then nodded, and her voice was soft and soft: "The concubine body does have a few good things...... If you like it, just go back and make it for you, as the adults said. ”

Saburo couldn't help nodding overjoyed, and asked with great interest about the specific matters that Yamabuki Otome was good at, and one person and two youkai intentionally or unintentionally ignored Taro who wanted them to drink tea and eat snacks several times next to him.

“……”

In the middle of the bustle, there was a sound of footsteps on the wooden staircase.

Several people paused, and all looked towards the staircase.

A monk dressed in gray cloth emerged from that side.

The monk looked very young, but he was in his twenties, and his appearance could be called delicate, but when he came out, he had a somewhat careless look on his face, and he did not have a compassionate temperament as described in the mouths of Nura Koban and Taro.

- Of course, Saburo, who is a human child, didn't notice this, he just felt that this monk's temperament really didn't look like an ordinary person for the first time.

If I have to say it, I feel a little similar to the young lady.

Thinking like this, Saburo couldn't help but feel three points of intimacy in his heart, and sent a big smile to the monk.

The monk casually raised his eyes and glanced at the few people sitting in the attic, and then his gaze paused slightly.

It just so happened that he had reached the last step of the stairs, and he couldn't see it at all from the outside.

It's just that in the next second, his originally somewhat ethereal aura suddenly condensed a little.

Qiao Xi stared at the monk.

- Well, no flaws, no hint of demonic spirit.

- You may not believe it when you say it, but he feels that this person is ...... No, he seems to have seen this monster before.

- Where have you seen it?

Qiao Xi didn't notice the monk's pause, when he looked up, the monk had already walked out of the staircase, where he stood and smiled slightly, he felt that there was a special effect of Buddha's light behind him, and he could flash his blind eyes in an instant.

Because of this, Qiao Xi couldn't react when the monk came.

It wasn't until the monk came up to him and made a gesture of smiling that Qiao Xi came back to his senses and greeted him with a slight smile.

San Lang was directly stunned by the monk's high-minded posture, and looked up at him blankly for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

The monk sat down, and Qiao Xi began to chat.

What kind of background he is, Qiao Xi doesn't know, but for Buddhism, the other party is indeed very studied.

The two of you talked back and forth. Qiao Xi still felt a little unfinished.

When the argument of Buddhism came to an end, Qiao Xi stared at the monk's eyes for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "...... Have you seen it somewhere? ”

The monk paused for a moment, then laughed.

His smile was different from the one he had always had on his face. On the contrary, it is quite pleasant, like a friend who has not seen him for a long time.

The sense of familiarity in Qiao Xi's heart became stronger and stronger, and then he heard the monk chuckle and say, "If you really want to talk about it, you should have seen it." ”

Qiao Xi: "emmm ......"

Right?

What does "bar" mean?

Have you seen it or not?

Thinking like this, Qiao Xi was sure that he had really seen this monster.

It's just that he's seen too many monsters, and after habitually clearing his memories every once in a while, he really can't remember it for a while......

The monster seemed to feel that it had been exposed, so it didn't bother to hide it anymore, so the aura on its body suddenly switched from the compassion just now to the treacherous and mysterious.

Qiao Xi: Ah, this breath feels more familiar......

- This feeling of familiarity and dissonance at the same time.

- Tsk, no matter what, you'll find out anyway.

Qiao Xi thought about it, and the other party really introduced himself.

"The last time we met, I told you my name, this time on the sea, Lord Fengyuejin, please allow me to tell me my real name."

"Lu Tao Qing Fanche, mirage into the city.

Legend has it that there is a water demon in the sea, and it is a mirage when it is breathed.

I am a monster of the sea, and my name is Mirage. ”

Qiao Xi: "......"

Qiao Xi: "??? ”

Qiao Xi: "!! ”

Qiao Xi's mood was greatly affected in just a few seconds.

It took him thirty seconds to react and recall, and finally dug up a certain youkai he had encountered in his memory.

- It turned out to be this guy!

Qiao Xi couldn't help but glance at the delicate-looking young man in front of him with some complicated glances - when he just let go of himself, he had changed from a monk to his original appearance.

His facial features have not changed much, except that his clothes have become gorgeous, and he has hair that grows to his waist.

His hair was light red, and he was very soft and looked very good-looking.

Qiao Xi sighed, and the words he was thinking about in his heart were accidentally said,

"You were a little cub when I met you, and you suddenly grew so big......"

- I feel as if I'm suddenly getting old.

A helpless smile dyed on his lips:

"Anyway, it was a hundred years ago when I met an adult......

Qiao Xi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and when he laughed enough, he looked at Mirage:

"So, what do you do?"

The corners of his mouth were still raised, but the smile in his eyes gradually precipitated.

"What are we going to do?"

He repeated this, the smile on his mirage stiffened slightly, and he lowered his eyes and muttered:

"yes, what are we going to do?"

The smile on his lips suddenly brought a hint of bitterness.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.

He remembered the first time he had seen Mirage, which had used illusion to transform into a stunning woman lying on the ground and touching a wave of porcelain at him.

At that time, the little guy was still a cub, and he was also bold and careful with his unique illusions.

Although the two monsters later met and then went their separate ways, Qiao Xi still felt that he was an interesting enough monster in his heart.

- He's always liked funny people or monsters.

It's just that I didn't expect that meeting again after a hundred years would be such a scene.

The strange but innocent aura on the mirage's body that once made him amusing has been completely stained with blood.

So—

What is he going to do?
