"Dream," said the sound gap, "I take back what I said on the mountain, there is indeed a difference in the performance of musical instruments, music as a human creation, not only an ordinary sound, but also a joyful music, depending on the player, there are still different sounds in the things conveyed by music." ”

"If those kids knew you could say that, they would be happy. I sat down on the floor, "What else have you collected besides your dreams?"

"Many, much," the blue light flowing in the moth's wings gradually increased, "the old man has not eaten at the same table with his own child for a long time, the last time the child saw his parents was for the New Year, the middle-aged couple knew each other's favorite food, the two brothers told each other that it was not easy at home and outside, and the young man and his mother talked about the girl he liked." ”

"Everyone is very happy, and we don't usually have much time to get together. ”

"Human time is too short," said the sound gap, "so short that if you don't pay attention, you won't have a chance to enjoy the beauty of the world, you look at that woman, how happy she looks, but the voice in her heart is sadder than everyone present." ”

“... Why?" it says the proprietress of soy milk.

"Her family was killed in the earthquake many years ago, and she was the only one alive with her parents, husband, children, and she was the only one at today's gathering because she had no family to invite. ”

Looking at the proprietress who greeted me warmly every time, my heart pounded.

But she just missed her deceased family very much, and there was a voice in her heart that was as soft and tough as the wicker in spring. ”

"What sound?" I asked.

"Live, live well, for her, this is home, everyone here is family, and she is sad because this street is about to be demolished, and these families will definitely be separated, and she will probably become a person again. ”

"How much can you know by sound?"

"Of course not, I can only collect radio waves in different states of human mind, these are what your friend told me, and through the stories it told me, it is easy for me to discern the cause of the radio waves. "Laughter, sighs, these are superficial sounds, and gratification, longing, love, joy, anticipation, and many other moods also have their own voices, but these voices can only be heard by us." ”

"You all seem to be interested in human emotions," I watched, "and so does my friend." ”

"Because human emotions are really interesting, and the emotional sounds I have collected so far have far exceeded expectations," said the moth's transparent wings, which can already see the obvious blue color, "I will bring these sounds back to my friends to share." ”

"It's good if you're satisfied, after all, you've done me such a big favor. ”

"There's one thing I've always wanted to ask," said Moth, "why go to such great lengths to help that youkai get his wish?"

"Haha, because the ghostwriter is responsive, and besides, Shou is my benefactor and friend. ”

"In that case—" The Gap was silent for a moment, as if considering something, "Lord Yeke, I also heard two voices, which were not originally my purpose for this trip, but when we are nosy, I think I should tell you." ”

Listening to its tone, I don't think it's a very good thing.

"One of the voices, from the middle-aged man in the café, your friend also told me the story of the café not long ago, I don't know if it's because of the notice that the old street is going to be demolished or the attraction of your concert, in short, the middle-aged man has already met the person he wants to see at this moment. ”

"Really!" seems to be good news, and if that were the case, I wouldn't have to go through any trouble to find the girl.

"Well, but the result should not have been satisfactory," it said, "and the man's mood changed from surprise to joy to disappointment, depression, sadness, and helplessness. ”

"Probably, the girl of the year has forgotten him. ”

"I don't know, but your friend's first wish must have been fulfilled. ”

"Well, Mamoru just hopes that the two of them will see each other again, after all, after so many years, everything will happen. I said.

"The second voice...", the gap between voices hesitated, "happy and satisfied, not quite rightly, it felt more like having completed the mission and was going to say goodbye to something." ”

“... Is it the voice of the guard?"

"Well, yes, it's your friend. ”

"I guess it's because the old street is going to be demolished, it's a little reluctant, and then it will leave here and go to the north, and it should never see people on the old street again. ”

"Lord Yeke, your friend, I'm afraid it's not just reluctant. The wings of the Sound Gap have completely turned blue, "I'm sorry I can only tell you this, there are many demon slayers in City A, and the news of our arrival is estimated to have spread, so we can't stay here any longer." ”

Only then did I realize that I didn't know when, all eight sound gaps had come to me.

"What do you mean by more than reluctance?" I asked.

"Ask it yourself, I'm sure it will tell you. The moths flew into the sky en masse, "When the time comes, there will be a chance to say goodbye." ”

"Are you going to fly out of City A like this?" Yu Ping's voice suddenly appeared, "I'm afraid that before you fly out of the old street, you will fall into the trap of the demon slayer one by one." ”

"Professor, when did you come here? I called you and you didn't answer. ”

"It's early, but it's hiding where you can't see it. Yu Ping said, "The nose of the demon killer is too smart, I didn't expect them to get the news so soon, and they are eyeing the gap in sound." ”

"Then I'd better send them back to the mountain. I took out the box from before, "Since I asked for your help, of course I should send you back safely." ”

"I'd better deliver it," Yu Ping took the box from my hand, "You have more important things to do." ”

"They don't trust you at all, how can they agree to you taking them home. "I took the box back.

"Lord Yeke, let your friend send us back," the moths suddenly turned a 180-degree turn towards Ping, "he's not a bad guy. ”

"You—" I was a little confused, "are you sure?"

"Well, no problem, there's no need for Lord Yek to waste precious time for us," the moths flew into the box one by one, "and it's almost the end." ”

Yu Ping took the box away and put it in his bag, "Did you hear it, don't worry, I will send the sound gap back safely." With that, he was ready to leave.

"Wait!" I grabbed Yu Ping, "What's the end? What are you talking about?"

Yu Ping looked at me for a long time, his brows furrowed, "It seems that your friend didn't tell you anything." ”

"Tell me what?"

"There is a kind of yokai that is born for a certain meaning, and when that meaning does not exist, they disappear with it. Yu Ping avoided my gaze, "It's unfortunate that your friend was born in Laojie just to protect it." ”
