At the moment of severing the pillar of aura, Chunhu seemed to see something.

It was a sight he had never seen before, but it was all too familiar.

The bright and beautiful moonlight hangs in the night sky.

A man sitting in the corridor of the mansion drinking alone on the other side of the moon.

and Shikigami, who hides in the darkness behind the man and can't see his face clearly.

Just when Chunhu was trying to see the familiar scene-

“バン、ウン、タラク、キリク、アク！ The five elements are in a row, and the urgency is like a law! ”

Natsume shouted a spell.

Five fluttering spells swirled above the Spring Tiger's head, and there was a light connection between the spells and the charms, drawing a pentagram in the air, forming a solid barrier.

The barrier blocked the light pouring down from the sky, pulling Spring Tiger's consciousness back to the present world.

Suzuka had lost consciousness, and his brother was lying there motionless because the aura pillar had been cut off.

"Stupid human, hurry up and bow your head, that's not something you can see."

Yakumo's voice suddenly came.

"If you don't want your soul to be taken away, get down on my stomach."

Haruto's body is knocked down by Natsume, who rushes over.

Natsume, who knocked the spring tiger down, was tightly held in his arms by the head of the spring tiger facing the sky.

"Natsu, Natsume!?"

"Don't look! Just like the monster brother said, if humans see it, their souls will be taken away! ”

The barrier formed by the pentagram connects the altar to the side of the sky.

However, even so, fluctuations in power can still be transmitted and clearly perceived.

In the face of the unknown, all the young Onmyoji girl and his Shikijin can do is hug each other and bow their heads.

◇

Yakumo looked up and squinted at the sky.

A rich divinity came from the other side of the sky.

It's just that it's different from the divinity that Yakumo felt from Yasaka Kanako. The divinity coming from the other side of the sky was extremely unstable.

"Ah, is it a god who doesn't have a conscious mind yet?"

With divinity and divine power, but without self-awareness, they are like puppets, mechanically carrying out their own priesthood. and at the same time to respond to the prayers of humanity.

"Taishan Mansion Jun...... That's the name, right? ”

"It's a pity, there is no sense of autonomy, and the plan seems to have failed......"

Seeing that although it was blocked by the pentagram barrier, there was still a trace of aura that was absorbed by himself, Yakumo showed a distressed look.

"Hey, this damn seal is really strong."

Gradually, the pressure of the aura disappeared.

The sky has regained its calm.

Haruka and Natsume looked at each other for a while. The two then parted in a panic, both blushing with shame.

The pentagram's barrier is gone, and the otherworldly feeling is gone.

On the mountain, it has become a beautiful and tranquil sea of flowers again.

Moonlight poured over the altar.

Under the altar, Suzuka had already regained consciousness, but sat there with her hands on her calves, burying her head deep in her face, unable to see her face clearly.

My brother died......

It's really dead. Can't be resurrected......

Chunhu held the magic sword and first looked at Suzuka with a complicated expression. Then he turned his gaze to Yakumo Mo, who was still nailed to the tree by sharp arrows.

Now, this youkai is the biggest problem.

"Yo? What's wrong stupid human? Want to slay demons? ”

Looking at the spring tiger walking towards him with a magic sword in his hand, Yakumo chuckled.

"Stupid, stupid tiger!"

Natsume behind him made a worried voice.

"Don't worry, Natsume."

Chunhu turned his head and smiled at Natsume, and then walked in front of Yakumo Mo.

Looking at Yakumo carefully, Chunhu suddenly spoke: "That." You haven't really broken the seal yet, have you? ”

"How so? Didn't I wake up? ”

Yakumo showed an interested expression.

Chunhu pointed to the sharp arrow on Yakumo's chest.

"If the seal had been completely lifted, you should have pulled out this arrow long ago."

Yakumo Mo's face froze.

"......Shh

With his head down, he snorted.

"Be careful, stupid human, if you're so close. Even if it's like this, it's easy for me to kill you. ”

"Haha, you said so, naturally you won't do it!"

Chunhu suddenly put away his magic sword, touched the back of his head and laughed stupidly.

Yakumo suddenly had a good impression of the guy in front of him.

Natsume cautiously walked in front of Yakumo Mo.

"That, youkai brother......

"Oh, it's you little girl......"

"Huh?"

Natsume and Haruka glanced at each other.

"You...... Know me? ”

"I don't know."

Yakumo admitted very dryly.

"It's just that although I didn't wake up before, I could hear the outside world. You girl seems to have called me that since I was a child, right? In that case—"

Turning his head, Yakumo stared at Chunhu with a smile.

"--This stupid human is the one who once made a pact with you to be your god?"

The two young men and women were suddenly a little embarrassed.

Yakumo looked at Chunhu with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

The young man in front of him has a very interesting mouth......

Obviously, the kind of spiritual power in his body that is unique to the onmyoji and annoying is abnormal-far more than the girl who is the master next to him-but it seems to have been sealed by something.

Someone did something to the teenager, and it looks like the guy himself doesn't know about it.

[Well, it's none of my business—]

"Hey, how about helping me unplug this pesky thing?"

Yakumo looked down at the sharp arrow on his chest.

"Uh...... I'm sorry, no......"

Natsume shook his head, this seal was a seal that was completed by gathering the entire Tuyumen clan back then, and the legend says that this gentle monster brother is actually a very terrifying monster, once something happens after the seal is lifted, Natsume will definitely not accept it.

"Do you really not unplug it? I won't get pregnant if I pull it out......"

"No, no, no!"

Natsume shook his head repeatedly.

Yakumo turned his gaze to Chunhu again.

Chunhu also immediately shook his head in refusal.

"It's boring......"

Yakumo was suddenly disappointed.

Judging from the fact that he has been sealed for so many years and his sister has not appeared, the speed of time between this world and Gensokyo is definitely different.

Maybe it's been a few decades here, and Gensokyo has only been there for a few days.

And before leaving, my sister seemed to be asleep......

"Oh, I'm not a dangerous person."

Yakumo tried to persuade the two young men and women in front of him to help him break the seal.

"Well, you help me unplug this thing, and I'll give it to you...... Hmmm......"

Yakumo thought about what he could use as a bargaining chip.

“…… That's right! How about I give each of you an elf!! ”

"Elves?"

As the King of the Dark Elves, it was too simple for him to command two dark elves and humans to make a contract.

"Elves can make a pact with you and then fight for you, a bit like a Shikigami, how about it?"

Natsume and Haruhu were very excited.

Subsequently, it was still refused.

Ten words that still refuse to move......

Yakumo was completely speechless.

"Huh!?"

Suddenly, Yakumo looked at the mountain with a frown.

There, a man was running towards the mountain at great speed.

After Natsume saw the person clearly, he covered his mouth and exclaimed.

"Father, father!?" (To be continued......)
