Chapter 247: Amber and Glass
"Get my help?" Nana Hashimoto didn't face Amber's question, and after a moment of silence, he asked her, "How do you need me to help you?" Speak up and listen. Nana Hashimoto did not drink all the wine in the glass in her hand, looked at Amber, and neither agreed nor refused.
Seeing that Nana Hashimoto did not refuse, a smile appeared on Amber's face, and after filling the wine glass for her, she poured herself another glass of wine. Faced with Nanami Hashimoto's question, Amber didn't answer directly, but picked up a wine glass and asked her, "I wonder what adults think of these little monsters?" Don't adults have any thoughts about their suffering and embarrassing lives? ”
"Thoughts? It's nothing more than sympathy and pity, but sympathy and pity don't help them, they don't need sympathy and pity. Nanami Hashimoto seemed to understand the meaning of Amber's words, but she did not respond to Amber's thoughts. For Nanami Hashimoto, she was always a passer-by in this era, and no matter how much she did, it could not affect the future generations that were already destined for her.
However, Amber didn't want to give up convincing Nanami Hashimoto like this, she pointed to the rice balls and copper coins that the little girl put on the table before, and said to Nanami Hashimoto: "These little monsters will be beaten for a rice ball that others don't want to eat, if it weren't for the adults today, this little girl might even be killed, are you really indifferent to this, adults?" Sympathy and pity can't help these little monsters, but your protection can provide a shelter for these little monsters. ”
"My asylum? A shelter from the wind and rain for these little monsters? It turns out that you hit an idea. Nana Hashimoto didn't understand the meaning of Amber's words, but she asked with some puzzlement, "Haven't you already done this?" I can see that these little monsters have been sheltered by you, and as a nine-tailed fox, you can do more than me, right? ”
"If I really were that Tamamo-mae-samae, I could have done more." Amber looked at Nanami Hashimoto with a wry smile on her face, picked up the wine glass and poured the wine into her mouth, letting the wine flow down the corners of her mouth and drip onto her chest: "It's a pity that I'm just a shadow of that Tamamo mae-samae, although I have her breath, but I don't have her strength." What's more, there is still a problem that cannot be avoided when it comes to sheltering these little monsters in Kyoto. ”
Speaking of this, Amber's gaze was focused on Nanami Hashimoto, looking at her with burning eyes. And Nanami Hashimoto also understood what the problem Amber was talking about, but she frowned and asked Amber, "The problem you said refers to Thousand Nights, right?" But Qianye shouldn't care about you sheltering these little monsters, right? I know Qianya, although he guards Kyoto, but he still won't care about you for sheltering little monsters. ”
Hearing Nanami Hashimoto's words, Amber shook his head with a helpless smile on his face: "If I'm just satisfied with taking in some homeless little monsters in Chiyoya, then Mr. Genyi really won't care about me." But if I want to shelter the bullied yokai around Kyoto, I can't avoid Mr. Genyi, who guards Kyoto. That's why I invited adults to come, and I want to shelter the bullied yokai around Kyoto, and I can't do it without the big yokai summoning a hundred kiki. So I hope that adults can gather Hyakki Night Walk in Kyoto and shelter these poor youkai. ”
Hearing Amber say this, Nanami Hashimoto somewhat understood why she was looking for herself. It is undoubtedly impossible to convene a Hyakki Night Walk in Kyoto without Senya's consent. If you want to shelter the youkai of the whole of Kyoto, as Amber said, you need a big youkai to summon a hundred ghosts to walk at night, and at this time, the only youkai that can be found in Kyoto is you, I'm afraid it's only Wakadie.
Thinking of this, Nana Hashimoto suddenly remembered that Senya had told him that the Yuki-Death Group was a big youkai because he couldn't bear to see the weak youkai being bullied, so he gathered them together and formed the Yuki-Death Group, and then entrenched in Kyoto. However, as members of the Snow Death Group, Jiujing and Autumn Rain Pill are both members of their Hundred Ghost Night Walk, so this means that in fact, the big monster Snow Girl who summoned the Snow Death Group five hundred years ago that Jiujing and Qianye said is actually herself?
Nanami Hashimoto, who reacted, finally confirmed what he had been guessing all along, and he was indeed the general of the Yuki-dying group five hundred years ago, the general of the Yuki-dying group who handed over the dying snow to the future Ruri Chiyo and made Akiyumaru wait in the Naruto Strait for five hundred years. Thinking of this, Nanami Hashimoto no longer rejects Amber's thoughts, she has already figured it out, and this is probably what she has to experience.
"If that's the case, I'd rather shelter these poor little monsters." Nana Hashimoto, who had already thought clearly, looked at Amber who was looking at her, and said something that made her excited, but before Amber could speak, Nanami Hashimoto raised his hand to stop her: "But although I agree to convene the Hyakki Night Walk in Kyoto to shelter these bullied little monsters, but the Big Youkai's Hyakki Night Walk should naturally have its due formation, so I have one more request, that is, you must join my Hyakki Night Walk and serve me." This is the premise of my promise to convene the Hyakki Night Walk, and if you don't join my Hyakki Night Walk, I won't be at ease. ”
Hearing Nanami Hashimoto's conditions, Amber was not surprised, in her opinion, if she could exchange her allegiance for Nanami Hashimoto, or even the protection of these bullied little monsters in Kyoto by the thousand nights behind her, it would undoubtedly be a very cost-effective thing. So Amber put down the cigarette stick in her hand, filled the wine glass for Nanami Hashimoto, and sat in front of Nanami Hashimoto and smiled at her and said, "If this is the condition of adults, the little woman is naturally willing to serve the adults as dogs and horses." ”
Seeing that Amber agreed, although Nanami Hashimoto was still a little worried about this monster who claimed to be the shadow of Tamamo, he took off a little guard, looked at the wine glass she had filled for herself, smiled slightly, and then raised his head and drank the wine, which was regarded as accepting Amber's allegiance.
It's just that Nanami Hashimoto is still a little puzzled, she looked at Amber and asked her, "Amber, why are you so obsessed with sheltering these little monsters?" It stands to reason that you are a part of the former Tamamo, even if you say that you are just her shadow, but you should have more or less some memories that belong to the former Tamamo, it stands to reason that you shouldn't care so much about these little monsters, right? ”
"My lord, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about Tamamo." Faced with Nanami Hashimoto's doubts, Amber shook her head and explained, "She wasn't a brutal youkai until she went completely crazy in front of Tamamo and split her soul with the foxtail incarnation method. In fact, Tamamo used to be very fond of small animals, so she always has a sympathy for the little monsters that is different from other monsters. And when Tamamo split her soul in front of her, I happened to inherit this sympathy when my good thoughts as her were separated, so I will treat these little monsters with special favor. ”
"I see, then why did Tamamo split his soul again?" Although Nanami Hashimoto has talked about the incarnation of the fox tail in front of Tamamoo, she doesn't know much about it, so she is particularly curious about the secret that Amber said.
"After being rejected by Tamamo because he liked Mr. Xuanyi, he had an obsession in his heart, and then he was bewitched, intending to split all his emotions in a way that split his soul, leaving only the deepest obsession to gain great power." Speaking of this, Amber's brows also furrowed, although she used to be a part of Tamamo-mae, but she didn't know much about this matter: "I was split out of Tamamo-mae at that time, and soon after the split, the Battle of Nasuno broke out, and Tamamo-mae was wiped out by Mr. Genyi and Harumi-sama, and I don't know what happened after that." ”
"How did you come to Kyoto, Amber, and open such a family...... Whale House's? At this time, Nanami Hashimoto, who finally remembered that the whale house was a place for men to have fun in this era, asked Amber with a shy face on her face.
Looking at Nana Hashimoto's unashamed appearance, Amber couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Why should adults be shy, not to mention that human morality and etiquette are not binding on us monsters, it is normal to have fun in the whale house, so why should adults care?" As for why the little girl appeared in Kyoto, it was because the little girl represented the kindness and love of Tamamo Mae, so she was influenced by Tamamo Mae's love for Mr. Genyi in the depths of her heart and appeared in Kyoto. ”
"Does that Qianye know about this?" Nana Hashimoto didn't hesitate for a moment, but still asked Amber. Although she believes in Chiya very much, Nanami Hashimoto still wants to know if Chiya has something to hide from her.
Amber saw through Nanami Hashimoto's mind at a glance, but she didn't pierce it, but replied honestly: "Mr. Xuanyi knows, and he doesn't know." He knew there was a youkai like me in Kyoto, but he didn't know who I was. My lord, you can rest easy, although the little woman inherited the love she had for Mr. Genyi in front of Tamamo, but the little woman had no intention of doing anything about it, because it was Tamamo's love, not my love. ”
Hearing Amber say this, Nana Hashimoto's face was a little pale, although he didn't believe Amber's words very much, but he didn't talk about this topic anymore, chatting with Amber about other topics, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while, until the little girl who was taken to the bath by the maid came back and interrupted the conversation between the two.
After the little girl washed the dust off her face and changed into clean clothes, she was suddenly completely different from the previous dirty little beggar image, although her small body looked thin because of malnutrition, and her little face was also scarred, but a pair of glass-colored eyes and dark hair still made Nana Hashimoto have a bright feeling, and Amber praised it even more: "What a beauty!" ”
The little girl didn't care about Nanami Hashimoto's gaze and Amber's praise, after coming in from the outside, the first thing she paid attention to was the rice balls and copper coins she had placed on the table before, and when she saw that everything was still in place, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, patted her little chest with confidence, and relaxed her expression.
The little girl's cute performance made Nanami Hashimoto feel immediately happy, and beckoned to her, motioning for her to come to his side. The little girl looked at Nanami Hashimoto waving to her, remembering that it was this samurai who saved her before, so she obediently came to Nanami Hashimoto's side, and thanked Nanami Hashimoto in a somewhat glutinous voice: "Lord Samurai, thank you for saving me before." ”
"No need to thank me for a little thing." Nana Hashimoto touched the little girl's head, surprised by her dark hair, but didn't feel too surprised when she thought that the little girl was a monster, just asked her curiously, "What's your name?" ”
The little girl shook her head, lowered her head in some frustration and said, "I don't have a name. The pitiful appearance made Nanami Hashimoto feel pity, and couldn't help but reach out and hold the little girl in his arms, the good smell on Nanami Hashimoto's body made the little girl show great attachment to her, buried her head in Nanami Hashimoto's arms, and felt the warmth that she had never felt before.
A plate of amber looked at the little girl who was held in Nana Hashimoto's arms, sighed and explained: "Most of the little monsters like this are helpless, many of them don't even have names, the smarter ones may choose a name for themselves, and the ignorant ones may live without a name like this." ”
Hearing Amber say this, Nanami Hashimoto touched the little girl's head in distress and said to her: "In that case, I'll give you a name, your eyes are glaze-colored, so I'll call you glazed, okay?" For some reason, seeing this little girl, Nana Hashimoto naturally thought of the name.
The little girl raised her head and looked at Nanami Hashimoto, her glass-colored eyes were full of disbelief and joy, and then happily threw herself into Nanami Hashimoto's arms and cried bitterly.
Looking at Ruri, who was crying with joy, Nana Hashimoto and Amber glanced at each other, and after sighing helplessly, he gently patted the poor little girl's back and comforted her wordlessly.

Qianye looked at Nanami Hashimoto who was packing up her things, her eyes were full of doubts, and she asked her puzzledly, "Nanamin, what are you doing here?" Why do you have to pack your clothes? ”
"Because I'm going to move out, of course I'll have to pack my bags." Nana Hashimoto looked at Chiya with an indifferent smile on her face, and answered his question easily. At the same time, his hands are non-stop, still sorting his luggage.
"Why move out if you live well? Don't you still be able to accept me, Nanamin, and think that I am not the same person as me in five hundred years? Chiya grabbed Nanami Hashimoto's wrist and looked at her seriously.
