"Lord Fengyue, do you know?

The moment I saw you, I thought, this is probably the end of it. ”

When Qiao Xi was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, Mirage suddenly said such words with a smile.

"What ......"

Qiao Xi subconsciously replied, and then fell silent again when he realized the content of his words.

Seeing him like this, the mirage was very calm.

"Well, from the very beginning when I chose to do this, I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, not you and others, but......

So what does it matter? ”

- He has nothing to lose, not even his life.

"Lord Fengyuejin, can I ask you for one thing?"

"When I'm gone, can I ask you to take care of my child for me?"

Qiao Xi: "......"

Qiao Xi: "!! ”

- Wait, what just happened? It's a bit windy at sea, I don't seem to hear clearly?

- Kids?

He looked at the mirage with wide eyes, as if he remembered something, and the smile on his face was suddenly warm and soft.

"My child......

Lord Toyotsuki, did I tell you that later when I was wandering in the world, I fell in love with a human. ”

The mirage spoke of a process that was very gentle...... There is some sad story at the end.

————————————————

Mirage has not been a peaceful youkai since he was a child - this can be seen from the performance of him and Qiao Xi when they first wanted to meet him.

Although he was not yet an adult when he came to the human world, he survived in the human world for decades without incident.

Then one day, decades later, I finally came of age.

Mirage is a relatively rare monster, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one in a thousand miles, and generally such a monster is very high, and the battle of adults is not small.

He was buying food at a shop that day, and he suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and the yokai's innate instinct made him understand that he was about to become an adult, and that it was best to choose a quiet place to spend this period undisturbed.

Unfortunately, he's in the middle of the city.

In all fairness, Mirage is also very calm and bold.

He first bought what he was going to buy, and then calmly went to the courtyard of a human family.

There lived only a maiden and a few servants, whom the mirage had ever seen.

What's more, the girl is an onmyoji.

- Yes, it's the kind of onmyoji who takes it as his mission to subdue demons and eliminate demons (fog).

However, the girl is not like an ordinary onmyoji who shouts and kills when she sees a monster, on the contrary, she is curious and tolerant of everything in this world - this naturally includes youkai.

Knock on the door and go in - originally he wanted to climb over the wall, but the master is also an onmyoji, and the enchantment on the wall is nothing to him in normal times, but it is very troublesome when he is currently using nine-tenths of his mind to suppress the riotous demonic energy used to become an adult.

So he knocked on the door of an onmyoji very heartily, and the first time he was led by the servant to see the girl, he showed a polite and innocent smile to the girl with his twelve-year-old cute face that was still underage:

"Excuse me, I'm about to become an adult, I can't be disturbed during this period, can I ask you to help guard it for a while?"

“……”

Even if she was as open-minded as a girl, she was shocked by his unseen words.

But she soon reacted, and under the disapproving and wary gaze of the servant, she led the mirage to an open area in the courtyard, and attached an enchantment very thoughtfully.

The mirage of adulthood lasted for half a year, and during this small half a year, the girl has been conscientiously following what she promised to do, and always guarding the mirage from being disturbed by others.

Finally, half a year later, the mirage came out of the enchantment.

After that, the relationship between one person and one monster gradually became familiar as a matter of course.

After getting acquainted with it, the mirage also knew that the girl was regarded as an ominous existence because she was a child who could see monsters that others couldn't see, and in the era when the onmyoji had gradually declined, ordinary people didn't know how blessed an existence like a girl who was born to open her spiritual vision, they just felt disgusted and weird.

My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and the so-called stepmother has a stepfather, so after some thought, the man who wrote the father and read it as the stepfather drove the girl out of the house.

When the girl who was still a child left, she took only some clothes and a certain ancestral onmyoji codex with layers of dust in the corner of the attic of the old mansion.

Through this codex, she realized that she was not a monster, but could see things that others could not see.

After a difficult period of wandering and some fame, the maiden settled here.

To Mirage, the maiden was the strangest human he'd ever seen in the human world for so long—not one of them.

In the past, he had not seen humans who were either kind or open-minded, but no matter how kind those humans were, they were always cruel and incredibly cruel when facing monsters that were different from them.

Mirage has never encountered a person like a girl who treats youkai with exactly the same attitude towards humans.

The girl is always curious about everything that is unknown, but limited to the weak human body, it is difficult for her to go to some inaccessible places to see everything described in books or real but not recorded at all.

However, after getting to know Mirage, the demands that were equivalent to ambitions for her before were gradually satisfied.

Mirage thinks that the girl's eyes are shiny and the appearance of observing new things is really very interesting, so he always spares no effort to meet all the requests made by the girl.

Pure summer - is the name of the girl, in exchange, the mirage also gave her the name of his walking world.

Although Xiying was not his real name when he was born, he had already recognized his name, and the girl, as an onmyoji, could naturally perceive the connection between the name and the mirage.

The day she got his name, Junxia was obviously very happy, and she didn't know why she was so happy, but she was also happy because she could make her happy.

Junxia was only fourteen years old when they met, and when she was in her twenties and was gradually instructed by others, Mirage suddenly realized that he had been in this place for nearly ten years.

When he met Chun Xia, Mirage never thought that he would get along with a human for so long, so one day, when the cheeks of Chun Xia's cheeks were flushed when he followed Chun Xia to buy things and witnessed Jun Xia being teased by the aunt who sold things, the mirage who said the words "I marry you" even had a feeling in his heart that he should take it for granted.

Junxia stood on the street with a basket and cried.

Mirage saw her cry for the first time.

In the past, when he deliberately threw her in front of the scary-looking monster, she just gritted her teeth tightly and tried to save herself.
