After a pleasant exchange, Qiao Xi said goodbye, saying that he would go back and prepare, and then get rid of the curse.

The two brothers who received Qiao Xi's affirmative reply have to be said to be very surprised.

Takahashi Jiro was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

It's hard to imagine that the young man's smile is still sunny without haze: "Ahh ”

Qiao Xi glanced at him, smiled slightly and accepted his thanks and walked out.

Shuichiro Takahashi followed behind Qiao Xi, maintaining a look of desire to stop on the way through the courtyard, but Qiao Xi consciously ignored it.

Until he walked to the door, Shuiichiro Takahashi finally didn't say anything, and watched Qiao Xi leave.

Qiao Xi didn't make a reminder, but when he turned from the corner of the street, he couldn't help but glance back at the Takahashi family's house, feeling a little pity.

Such an emotion flashed from the bottom of his heart, Qiao Xi looked at the time, and it was almost time for Natsume's children to get out of school, so he sat down in the coffee shop opposite the school very casually.

Under normal circumstances, as a monster, Qiao Xi's sense of existence is not high - it should be said that all monsters will not let their sense of existence be too high when they live in human society.

- Except for a few special enthusiasts.

Qiao Xi is no exception, when he is not speaking, ordinary people will always ignore him naturally, but when he is noticed, he is always very dazzling.

So when Qiao Xi, who was originally eating a small cake in a low-key manner, was stopped by a girl with long blue hair, the two of them suddenly became the focus of attention in the entire store.

Qiao Xi: "......"

"Hmm...... I want to say that I haven't seen you for a long time, but sure enough, forget it......"

For this big monster who can quietly remind himself but has to pretend to talk to him in a human way, Qiao Xi is also a little speechless.

The girl on the other side covered her mouth and laughed softly when she heard this.

The girl's appearance is also too delicate in the eyes of humans, with long blue hair scattered behind her, pinned with very small and delicate lantern decorations, and wearing a short blue kimono, which looks completely different from the style of other people's paintings, but it does not look abrupt at all.

Her slender legs were folded together, and she covered her mouth sideways and smiled slightly, which was very elegant.

"Ahh

"Well......"

Qiao Xi lazily and unconsciously responded, pushed the small cake in his hand that he had not touched to the opposite side, and then accurately called out the girl's name:

"I haven't seen it for a long time, but Qingxing Dengsang is a little surprised by his enthusiasm."

The girl, who was called "Qingxing Lantern", looked like a human being, but was actually a big monster, covered her mouth and laughed again.

The two of them didn't talk for long, Natsume's children were out of school, as a responsible guardian, Qiao Xi naturally took Natsume Takashi's little hand home, which made the onlookers can't help but be a little surprised.

- Based on the impression of the Heian period, she thought that this Toyogetsu God was the kind of youkai who looked gentle but was actually quite indifferent, could it be that she hadn't seen this lord for so long, and she had changed her personality?

Qing Xing covered his mouth and chuckled and followed behind Qiao Xi, blinking at Natsume's children when they looked at him curiously, showing him a meaningful smile.

Natsume's reaction was to turn his head in fright, and then quietly approached Qiao Xi.

Qingxing Lantern: "......"

- Should I say that I am worthy of being a human raised by Lord Toyotsuki himself?

This reaction...... Is it the so-called intuition or the sixth sense or something.

No matter what it was, it made Qingxingdeng's heart rise with an irrepressible desire to watch.

- She is a green lantern, a monster born from self-blame talks, and her favorite is interesting stories.

She seemed to have foreseen this interesting story about humans and monsters.

- If the story between a human with spiritual power and resistance to youkai and the powerful youkai who raised this human is interesting enough, let her witness it for herself.

———————————————

Qiao Xi didn't express any opinion on Qingxingdeng's natural request to stay overnight, how to say that he was always tolerant enough for people he hadn't seen for a long time.

So Qingxing Lantern unceremoniously found a room to live in.

In view of the personality and preferences of the human cub named "Natsume Takashi" mentioned by Qiao Xi in the coffee shop before, Qingxing Lantern showed himself like an authentic human nobleman very calmly.

Natsume Takashi, who was still a child, didn't find any flaws - it may also be due to his trust in Qiao Xi, in short, in the days of Qingxing Lantern onlookers, one person and one monster got along quite harmoniously.

And with the Qingxing lantern there, Qiao Xi just took off his hand and concentrated on dealing with the affairs of the Takahashi family.

Everything was as Qiao Xi guessed when he first met Shuichiro Takahashi, and there was no surprise.

Shuiichiro Takahashi is a figure who can be called sparkling in the eyes of ordinary humans.

He has a good looks, a long personality, and is good at dancing, and any human who knows him can't help but admire him when they mention him, as if all the positive words in the world can be used to describe this human being.

However, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people are not perfect.

Shuiichiro Takahashi, who is perfect on the outside, has secrets that cannot be said in his heart.

Jiro Takahashi is the younger brother of Shuiichiro Takahashi, different from the radiant brother, except for the casual personality, he can be instantly submerged if he is thrown into the crowd.

But this is such a person, but he has always been jealous of his brother who has a perfect appearance.

Jiro Takahashi seems to know, but he seems to know nothing.

Shuiichiro Takahashi sometimes thinks that he has grown up and studied well, but he is also very hardworking and obedient in the eyes of adults, and it stands to reason that there is no need to be jealous of others.

- Not to mention jealousy of a person who is inferior to himself in every way.

But jealousy is a real emotion.

He was jealous that Jiro Takahashi could smile happily whenever he wanted, he was jealous that Jiro Takahashi could get the favor of his parents without having to work hard, and he was jealous that Jiro Takahashi would not feel sad even if he didn't do his best.

It seems that everything Jiro Takahashi does can make him feel jealous.

From the moment he realized this, he thought and thought, staring at Jiro Takahashi all the time, and couldn't figure out why he was jealous.

It wasn't until not long ago that he brought his girlfriend home for dinner and his girlfriend had a good conversation with Jiro Takahashi, that he finally understood his complicated feelings for Jiro Takahashi.

- He seems to have some emotions that he shouldn't have for his blood brother.

- The kind of attention that gradually derives from jealousy, and the emotion that gradually deteriorates from attention.
