"Lady Yanhime, do you know that this hairpin is actually a gift that Hanako wants to give you, but after buying it, I don't know how to see you."

"You probably don't want to see me, do you?"

"Actually, Hanako found out that every time I go up the mountain, the mountains and forests are always very docile, and there are no wild beasts."

"It's Yanhime-sama......"

"Really...... Hanako is actually really greedy......"

"Smoke-sama is always so gentle—"

"Yanhime-sama, you haven't answered me yet, Hanako's soul, or what you want...... Is it? ”

The silver-haired old man leaned against the trunk of the tree and chattered softly, as if in a dream.

It was obviously a very inappropriate color for the old man, but Yan Ji saw the bright girl shyly and cheerfully smiling at herself.

"Yes. Hanako's soul is beautiful, just like the morning glow in the morning. ”

Smoke Ji said.

"Ah, that's nice."

"If Smoke-sama likes it, that's great."

- I like it a lot.

- Hanako's soul is my favorite color.

Smoke Hime watched as dazzling dots of light floated out of Hanako's body.

Those points of light circled around Yan Ji as if they were in love, and then gradually dissipated into the air.

The weather in Cloud Mountain is back to its normal.

Smoggy.

——————————————

"That girl, and Hanako......"

Yan Ji said, and suddenly paused again.

- Not at all.

Hanako is such a unique and dazzling existence, and Mako Sato is just like thousands of other beautiful and confident girls.

- Hanako is only one.

Yan Ji smiled, but suddenly raised her hand to cover her eyes.

"It's not Hanako......"

- Hanako doesn't exist for a long time.

In the end, Yanji did not get Hanako's soul as agreed, but let her go to the other world.

Although Hanako's soul is more dazzling than when she was younger.

Until now, Yan Ji has not regretted her choice at that time.

- No regrets, she's just a little lonely.

- It's just lonely.

So lonely that I suddenly met a girl with the same surname and a little similar in appearance, so I wishfully believed that it was Hanako and helped her.

But in fact, she herself knows that that girl is not at all similar to Hanako's breath.

- She's not Hanako.

No one is Hanako.

———————————————

Qiao Xi brought Mako Sato back to Sato's house, hiding the fact that she was living in Cloud Mountain for the past few days - after all, for humans, youkai are always a mysterious existence.

And Mako Sato was kidnapped by the monster, and she was also frightened in Yunwu Mountain, but after coming back, she was much more settled, and she didn't make any other moths.

Qiao Xi's breath was not relieved, and he turned his head to look for the movements of the old man of the Sato family again.

Mako Sato ran out by herself, but Old Man Sato disappeared passively.

After inquiring about the little monsters around, Qiao Xi came to the stone bridge where Old Man Sato appeared last.

This stone bridge is a little familiar.

However, Qiao Xi didn't think about it for too long.

- He's wandered around here a lot, maybe he's forgotten about it.

The handsome boy was wearing a solid-colored yukata with clogs under his feet, and although his long light blonde hair was neatly tied, there was still a mischievous breeze sweeping out a few of them, and it shimmered more and more in the sun.

In the depths of the pool, a monster with long blue hair like seaweed hid behind a stone, looking up at the boy standing on the bridge through the turquoise pool for a long time.

Qiao Xi circled around the stone bridge a few times, but found nothing.

He couldn't help but hold his chin.

According to what those little monsters said, the old man of the Sato family did disappear near this stone bridge.

- He believed that the little monsters had not yet had the courage to deceive themselves.

- So he's missing something?

Qiao Xi pondered as he put his hand on the pergola and looked around.

The stone bridge looks fairly new, with a weeping willow growing on the side of the bridge, and the water in the pool under the bridge is green and clear, so you can see it almost at a glance.

There were a few fallen leaves floating on the water, and there were piles of stones in the depths of the Tan.

It is surrounded by lush shrubs, which gradually spread into tall trees in the distance.

The air is filled with the sounds of birds, insects, and monsters, and the yellow sunlight shines down from the sky, staining the entire space in red, which is very beautiful to look at.

Qiao Xi looked at it and couldn't help laughing.

- If there are really youkai living by this stone bridge, it can be regarded as very elegant.

He walked under the willow tree and reached out and knocked on it.

The soft branches of the willow tree swayed in the air, and after a while, the whole tree vibrated and stretched like a human stretching its waist, and then a branch converged in front of Qiao Xi's eyes, gradually condensing into the image of a human face.

The eyes on the person's face looked at Qiao Xi, and his mouth squirmed for a moment, before he said slowly: "Ah, it's Master Qiao." Can I help you? ”

Qiao Xi looked at the big face in front of him, and his eyebrows couldn't help jumping.

- This youkai is still as lazy as ever, and it doesn't even have a human body.

Before Qiao Xi could speak, Liu Zhi's big face moved, and he spoke again:

"It's not like I'm lazy that I didn't condense my human body."

Qiao Xi: "......"

He was speechless for a moment and said, "Xiao Sheng didn't say anything." ”

Willow Branch snorted with a big face: "Human beings are hypocritical and evil creatures. ”

Qiao Xi smacked his lips and wisely decided to bypass the topic.

- Speaking of which, this monster can talk about the inferiority and hypocrisy of human beings for days and nights.

"Don't talk about this, Xiaosheng has something I want to ask you."

"Hmm, what's the matter?"

Liu Zhi knew that Qiao Xi actually liked human beings, and he didn't dwell on this topic any more, so he simply asked Qiao Xi about his intentions.

Qiao Xi pondered for a moment, and then went straight to the point: "Have you ever seen a human old man here a few days ago?" Probably dressed in brown. ”

The willow branches scattered and gathered again, and only after a long time did he reply with some hesitation: "It seems that there is such a human being, standing on the stone bridge at dusk and shouting a name." ”

As it spoke, it sneered: "Hmph, these humans dare to come out at dusk." What, did something happen to him?

It's also, but it's normal for a human being to be captured by a monster somewhere. ”

Qiao Xi: "......"

- Okay.

I have to say that the old man Sato ran to this kind of place alone when he was in a demon, and he did it himself.

But in the end, he promised Mr. Sato that he would find the person back, even if the other party was killed by himself, he should still find it.

Qiao Xi asked the willow monster for some details, and he was very helpless.
