In the mountains.

A silver-haired masked boy walks with a young girl.

They walked through the mountains and forests, they crossed the creeks.

The girl laughed and was cheerful.

They are like couples who have just fallen in love.

The ignorance and tranquility of the first love, the cheeks that seem to be red when their eyes meet.

There are not too many distractions, there are just enjoyment.

Of course, this enjoyment will be further desired.

They wanted a hug, but they didn't get it.

Because of that curse-like constitution.

"Ah Yin, do you think we will be together forever?"

Hotaru looked at the babbling river, and suddenly felt a little scared in her heart.

How long will these days last?

Will such a teenager disappear?

Every day, she's been here for eight years now.

Looking at Hotaru, who showed a scared appearance, Ah Yin's heart ached slightly.

But the answer to this question, he himself does not know.

"Yes."

Ah Yin didn't think much about it, and then said the answer.

Whether or not that will be the case in the future, at least that's what I think in my heart right now.

Those promises, regardless of whether they can be kept in the future or not.

But at the moment of speaking, it is extremely sincere and sacred.

That is the most sincere heart of a young man.

Hotaru looked at Ah Yin, but the face under the somewhat cold mask was not visible at all.

"Ah Yin, in fact, when I can't see you, I miss you. It doesn't matter if it's autumn, or winter, or spring. Ah Yin, don't forget me, don't forget. ”

Ah Yin looked at Hotaru, and there was no expression on the mask.

Hotaru didn't know what kind of expression she had under Ah Yin's mask.

Like yourself, with a hint of redness?

"Ah Yin, maybe time will separate us one day, but until then, we will all have to be together."

Ah Yin looked at the smiling young man, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and nodded.

"Hmm."

The white clouds in the sky drifted slowly.

The warm sunlight reflects on the stream.

Birds chirping in the trees.

The sound of cicadas chirping, the wind gusting.

"Ah Yin, we seem to be dating."

"Stupid, we're dating."

Ah Yin's unprepared words made Hotaru's face blush like fire.

Seeing Hotaru's cute appearance, Ah Yin suddenly wanted to pinch her cheek.

It's just that......

"Hotaru, will you be able to sneak out tonight?" Ah Yin asked suddenly.

"Tonight? What's wrong? Hotaru said curiously.

"There's a yokai festival at night, and I've always wanted to go there. It's just that Hotaru was still young before, so I'm afraid you'll be afraid. ”

"Hmmm! I want to go! ”

"Then I'll see you at the old place at eight o'clock in the evening."

Hotaru thought for a moment and said, "But it's all youkai, I'll be scared." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

Ah Yin said, revealing half of his face under the mask.

The delicate face made Hotaru's cheeks red.

"That being said, I'm probably scared to throw myself into your arms."

The mask was closed again, and Ah Yin seemed to be indifferent and said, "Then pounce on it, I can't ask for it." ”

Hotaru was stunned for a moment, but did not speak again.

Does it really matter?

Will it go away?

But......

I really want to hug Silver's body and feel the temperature on his body.

Mountains.

Kakashi looked at the two from afar, a slight smile.

"It's good to be young, and there is such ignorance."

Kakashi couldn't help but sigh.

Emotional things are sometimes like that.

First love is always ignorant and pure, and it is more about feeling traction.

Blushing at the slightest physical contact, and shy at a few little ambiguous words.

These are the best things that love looks like in the first place.

And after this love passed, that touch disappeared.

I won't blush at some words, and I won't be shy at some small touch.

Even if it is a physical collision, it may lose the original passion.

So people will miss the original beauty from time to time.

But this kind of thing is like brushing up experience points, once the level goes up, even if you miss the feeling of being a rookie, it's completely different.

Because love is sometimes a process of upgrading.

Those nice love words are also slowly learned.

It's just that when I learn to learn it again, I don't know how much affection there is.

The kind of love that can be seen in the eyes is also difficult to meet again.

Kakashi shook his head and began his practice again.

Although the cultivation of these days has been quite effective, the feeling of the demonic power being absorbed in the body has not disappeared.

Seeing Yasaka's shadow hasn't sucked enough.

It's just that there is still a sense at such a distance, and that painting is really not simple.

"I'm a little sleepy again, forget it, let's get some sleep first."

At night, the stars are shining.

Summer fireworks shine in the mountains.

"Is this the summer festival of youkai? It's like a human being. ”

"It's a festival that mimics human beings. There is also a special enchantment here, so as long as you enter, even ordinary people without demonic power can see youkai. ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"Maybe it's to get lost humans involved." Ah Yin said with a smile.

"I see, it's really sweet."

"Let's go, but before we do, we'll put this on."

Ah Yin said, took out a white cloth and tied it to the wrists of the two.

"That way you won't get lost."

"Hmm."

The way the two get along like a couple makes their heartbeats speed up a lot.

The yokai summer festival is even more lively than the human one.

The two are like a couple in the middle of the festival.

And at this time, Kakashi and the little fox also came to this festival.

"Brother Kakashi, there are a lot more shows for this year's summer festival."

The little fox looked around curiously as he ate the takoyaki Kakashi had bought for him.

"Well, youkai are really getting better at playing now."

"Kakashi-go, look! Over there, it's Ah Yin and Sister Ying! ”

The little fox pointed to the two people not far away.

Kakashi heard this, and sure enough, it was them.

That sweet look made Kakashi a little envious.

"I don't know what happened to Hades."

Kakashi turned on the daily wife thinking mode.

"Brother Kakashi, is the sister you often call your wife?"

"Hmm."

"Where is she? How come you've never seen her? ”

"She's far away. Maybe after a while, I'll be able to go back to her. Kakashi laughed.

"Far away? Wouldn't Brother Kakashi be going for a long time? I'm going to miss Brother Kakashi. The little fox said with some concern.

Kakashi squatted down, gently scratched the tip of the little fox's nose, and said, "Don't worry, even if I leave, I'll come back to see the little fox." ”

"Really? Brother Kakashi, don't lie to me. ”

"No, it won't."

"Then we'll pull the hook."

"Okay."

The little fingers of the two people's right hands are hooked together, and the thumbs are printed together.

Under the stars, small agreements are formed.

The summer festival is very lively, but no matter how lively the festival is, there will be an end to it.

Ah Yin took Hotaru on the way back.

"Hotaru, I probably won't be able to wait for the next summer. Every time you leave, I want to go to you. Even if it's through a sea of people, I want to hug you. ”

"Ah Yin ......"

Ah Yin's sudden words made Hotaru feel uneasy in addition to being moved.

But at this time, Ah Yin suddenly took off the mask on his face and put it on Hotaru's face.

Before Hotaru could react, she felt a warm sensation coming from her mask.

Ah Yin's face leaned over and kissed the mask.

Through the eyes of the mask, Ah Yin's delicate face was smiling.

"I'll give you this mask, you can keep it."

"Hmm!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion from behind.

Two children, a man and a woman, are chasing.

"Wait for me!"

The two passed by Ah Yin, and the little boy behind them suddenly tripped.

Ah Yin subconsciously grabbed the little boy.

"Are you alright?"

"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”

Hotaru came over and said, "Be careful when you walk." ”

"Well, I see, thank you, big sister."

With that, the two ran out again.

Ah Yin looked at the right hand he had just touched the boy, and suddenly a sharp pain came.

Starlight slowly appeared on his fingertips.

The right hand seemed to be dissolving.

Ah Yin looked at his right hand in shock.

Hotaru also noticed the light in Ah Yin's hand, and under the mask, he was full of panic.

"Could it be...... Could it be that the child just now is human? ”

It's just that such a discovery, too late.

Ah Yin suppressed the surprise on his face and opened his arms.

"Hotaru, come here, I can finally touch you."

There was a smile on his face, and he couldn't see the pain that was about to disappear.

"Ah Yin ......"

In the pupils of the mask, Ah Yin's smile seemed to become the last beauty.

Is it the last time?

Hotaru took off her mask and ran wildly towards Ah Yin.

"Ah Yin!"

The light became more and more shining, and the moment Hotaru hugged Ah Yin, it became the most intense.

But after that moment, Ah Yin disappeared without a trace.

The rest is just the kimono.

And the residual temperature in Hotaru's hands.

"Ah Yin ......"

Hotaru hugged the remaining clothes and knelt on the ground.

The face was completely buried in the clothes, and it seemed that only in this way could he feel the rest of Ah Yin's breath.

The body was twitching, but no tears were pouring out.

"Is this finally the moment?"

Kakashi's voice suddenly rang out, and Hotaru slowly raised her head.

The silver hair in front of him looked familiar.

It's just that the countenance is completely different.

The starlight in Kakashi's right hand caught Hotaru's attention.

"Who are you?"

Kakashi didn't answer, but flicked the starlight in his hand and landed on the clothes in Hotaru's hand.

The hands were regularly turned up and down, as if to follow some kind of seal.

"Yin and Yang escape! Creation regeneration! ”

The starlight continues to expand, gradually condensing into a human form.

And that familiar appearance is none other than Ah Yin, who has just disappeared.

Ah Yin looked at his newborn body with a shocked face at this time, and the light gradually dissipated.

"Ah Yin!"

Hotaru exclaimed excitedly, as if she couldn't believe what was in front of her.

I couldn't believe it even more that the person I was holding was Ah Yin, who had just dispersed as a starlight.

"What's going on?"

Agin's face was full of doubt, and his gaze fell on Kakashi's body.

He knew that this kind of thing would happen, and it must have been caused by this mysterious man.

Kakashi's face turned pale, not half bloody.

The whole person looked very haggard.

"Ah Yin, I promised you that I would cure your sequelae. It's just that I just came up with this method not long ago. Now that you're completely human, don't worry about enjoying your time as a human. ”

Kakashi smiled, only looking more haggard.

Ah Yin was overjoyed when he heard this, but when he saw Kakashi's appearance, he couldn't help but worry.

"Kakashi, are you alright? The technique you just used won't hurt you much, right? ”

Kakashi smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay, just rest for a while. Okay, let's send Hotaru back, it's late. ”

After Kakashi finished speaking, he disappeared in front of the two of them.

"Kakashi!"

Ah Yin screamed again, but it was too late.

"Ah Yin, it's great that you're okay!"

Hotaru hugged Ah Yin in her arms tightly, for fear that he would disappear again.

It was as if it was a dream.

The transition between joy and sorrow was so sudden that she almost didn't react.

Feeling the body temperature in front of her, Hotaru knew that all this was true.

Seeing this, Ah Yin gently stroked Hotaru's hair.

In the moonlight, the two snuggled up to each other quietly.

At that moment, it seemed like a long time.

Shrine.

Kakashi sat cross-legged, his face even paler.

The ninjutsu just now not only consumed a lot of chakra, but also used the huge pupil power of the reincarnation eye.

The consumption of Kakashi is not small.

After all, it's a ninjutsu that brings the dead back to life.

Although it is not the forbidden technique that consumes life from reincarnation, it is not far off.

Originally, because of the lack of demonic power, Kakashi was a little weak.

Now that a huge amount of chakra and pupil power have been consumed, Kakashi's current state can be said to be very bad.

"It's really a disaster, it's okay now, the time for cultivation is going to be postponed."

Kakashi smiled helplessly, but he didn't regret anything.

To be able to save Ah Yin, it was all worth it.

A small loss can still be bearable.

It's just that I've been injured a lot lately.

I didn't expect this world with mediocre forces to have so many doorways.

On the other hand, Natsume also ran into a problem in order to find the Demon Spirit Grass for Kakashi.

"Stupid Natsume, is there really a demon spirit grass in this place?"

"Yes, C said, there was a plant in this place a hundred years ago."

"Stupid Natsume! That was all a hundred years ago, how can it still be now! ”

"You have to try it to find out."

"What a big idiot! I wouldn't have told you if I had known! ”

"Teacher Cat, if you have time to complain, why don't you help me find it quickly."

"How can my noble body do such a thing!"

Suddenly, there was a scream in the woods.

"Ahh

Natsume was taken aback.

"What sound?"

"It's like the screams of youkai."

"Let's go over and see."

Natsume said and ran over.

"Stupid! It's going to be trouble again. ”

The cat teacher complained, but still followed.
