Chapter 189: Hot Spring Night Talk, Irin's Quenching Spring
After opening the wooden door, I went in and looked around, because the mist was rising, but I couldn't see it really. The only thing that was quiet in the hot springs was the "ticking" sound of water droplets. Kamisten looked up and found that it was actually an open-air hot spring. After pulling the door open, Woe Tian walked straight into the pool and sat down to enjoy the temperature.
Because it's night, it's a woman.
"The excitement is gone...... "Calamity sighed with great regret.
"Is it a pity?" a familiar voice sounded behind Calamity.
As soon as Kamisten turned his head, he saw Irin in full clothes.
"Huh, aren't you soaking?"
Somewhat disappointed......
"Hmph, the mood is all written on my face. Irin smiled slightly, "Here's the benefit for you, Shigebei." ”
The blonde beauty called the lower guard hugged Yakumo Purple in.
"Where's Yuxiang?"
"In the rest, the Quenching Spring is not for her. Irin sat down on a random rock.
Shimobei carefully placed Yakumo's body on a shallow stone that was not deep in water.
Disaster Heaven looked at the friction between Shimibei and Yakumo Purple's snow-white **, and his mind was full of charm, but it was difficult for his face to change color.
"Quenching the Spirit Spring, the spring water that refines the soul. "You can probably guess a little bit from the name alone.
"No, it's just to make the soul more comfortable. Irin touched his sleeve and unbuttoned his clothes when he found it wet.
Woe Tian looked at the petite body, and was silent for a while before saying, "Aren't you not soaking?"
"The mist got my clothes wet. "Irin didn't think much about it, it was straightforward.
Anyway, the clothes are wet, so just take a bath.
"You're really simple and straightforward. Calamity looked at Irin a little strangely.
"Nothing...... I've lived for a long time, and I'm tired of twisting and turning. I'm not Yakumo Murasaki. In the last sentence, Irin glanced at Yakumo Purple over there with deep meaning.
"I've been through so much. Yakumo Purple is good at hiding, Yuka can only vent, and I ...... I just want to sit quietly, watch the sun set, and grow old peacefully. "Irin didn't have that kind of strength at all, but there was a kind of peace that returned to the smoke.
"Just kidding. Irin himself smiled first and patted Kamisten on the back.
"You're such a strange fellow. "Woe Tian repeats it again.
It's really weird.
Sometimes I can feel the unreliability and a trace of malice of the guy in front of me, but there is no false place in the slightest about this wantless Irin in front of me.
"Well, because I can only ...... in the Quenching Spring," Irin said, leaning on Calamity's shoulder and falling asleep.
Calamity looked at the quiet Irin and didn't make any extra moves, as if he was afraid of waking Irin up. Seeing Irin sleeping like that, Shimibei smiled warmly and bowed deeply to Calamity. Although the scenery is unique, there are no evil thoughts in the calamity.
Irin's hair spread out in the water, like a free circle of ribbons. Calamity lifted a wisp with his hand through the water, and the dark color of the ends of his hair was still clearly visible. In the eyes of Calamity, the dark ends of the hair have a very familiar feeling, which is the smell of ...... "demon".
"Heavenly Demon...... "Calamity said to himself.
"Yes, oh, the demon king who replaces honor with stigma and replaces love with hatred. Shimibei didn't mind telling Calamity.
"Stigma, Irin is a great tengu, so he should be very respected. "Calamity is guessing all the possibilities.
"Yes, but Rin-sama is half-blood. The guards helped Irin brush the strands of hair that were stuck to his eyes.
"A half-breed of a crow tengu and a white wolf tengu. There was silence for a moment before the guard continued.
"I see, it's ......" There was no superfluous explanation, but Woe Tian saw a little bit of the bitterness in the slightly slanted corners of the lower guard's mouth.
"Is it stigmatized......"
One can imagine how Irin's exclusion and white eyes were at that time, and he was not accepted by Raven Tengu or White Wolf Tengu.
"Tengu is also a youkai, but after all, they live in groups, so the lack of compassion for youkai has not completely disappeared. Irin-sama struggled in the cracks for a long, long time......" Shimibei only vaguely summarized, but the tone between his words was reminiscent of a lonely figure wandering alone in the forest.
"What about the other tengu?"
Does Woe Tian mean that there are other tengu who accept Irin?
Tengu is not the only one with the Raven Tengu and the White Wolf Tengu, although these two groups are the largest.
"The other tengus are just subordinates, and the scumbags who tend to be attached to the flames are not just the monopoly of humans. Shibei's indifferent tone showed that she had seen those despicable people who tended to be inflammatory.
I can't pretend I didn't hear that, but I don't disagree. Kaoten looked at Shimibei with a smile, not caring about the typical tengu line.
Xia Bingwei seemed to remember the identity of the calamity at this time, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for using such impolite words. ”
Calamity waved his hand, looked up at the moonlit sky, and muttered, "That day, it was connected to nothingness." ”
The lower guards also looked up at the bright moon along with the calamity.
"Did you say that there really are stars in the sky of Gensokyo?" said to him, causing Shimibei to smile slightly.
"You're a human sage, you shouldn't have asked me about this monster. Shibei smiled and pushed down the question that she couldn't answer.
"Well, I'm thinking too much. Do you have any wine here?" Woe Tian dissipated the boring thought and turned his head to look at the lower guard.
"Just some sake, you know we don't farm. The guards got up and got their wines.
Of course, Kaoto knows that youkai don't farm anymore. The rice used to make wine is also exchanged with people, using some precious medicinal materials from the monster mountain.
Kamise carefully leaned the fulcrum of Irin's body against the rock behind him, then chuckled at the motionless guy over there.
"You're awake, eavesdropping for so long. Kamisten sat down next to Yakumo Murasaki and rested his elbows on Yakumo's smooth back.
"Either help with the massage or just take your elbows off. It's rare to be able to enter Irin's Quenching Spring, and I have to enjoy it. The debunked Yakumo Zi didn't know how polite he was, and rolled his eyes.
"Is it hard to get in here?" said Calamity, a little surprised.
"As you can see, the Quenching Spirit Spring here is for Irin to suppress demonic nature. Normally, it is not open at all, but after a single bath, the spring water turns into ordinary water, and it takes a hundred years to accumulate a pool. Yakumo Zi didn't bother to move anymore after feeling that Calamity was using her as a pillow.
"Isn't it good to soak in buckets?
"A bucket of spirituality is not enough to counteract the demonic nature, but it will make the demonic manic to a certain extent. Yakumo Murasaki stirred the spring with her hands.
"Then doesn't it affect the spirituality that we soak together?"
"It's nothing, the two of us may not be able to absorb a year's spirituality in one night, the main thing is to use this spiritual environment to nourish the soul. "Yakumo doesn't care much.
The sound of the door opening.
"Here comes the wine. Shimobei carried a tray with four bottles of sake and two empty glasses.
"Two cups?" asked with a smile.
"There's also a cup for Yakumo-sama. The guards placed the tray on the edge of the pool and bowed down.
"Looks like you've already been exposed. Kamten also stopped pressing Yakumo's back and poured himself a glass of sake.
"You don't pour me a glass. Yakumo Zi, who turned over, also complained when he saw that he drank it alone when he saw the calamity.
The two of them were silent, only the sound of water dripping.
The two of them, who were full of thoughts, didn't say anything about what happened before.
"Harvest Offering, you will come. It took a long time for the silence to break.
"It's coming. "Some red-faced Yakumo Murasaki doesn't know if he was drunk or soaked in spring water.
"The Dream......
The sound of steady breathing interrupted Kaoten's next words, as Yakumo Murasaki had already fallen asleep. It's not pretending to be asleep before, but really falling asleep.
"Why always pick this time. Wo Tian also looked helpless, and the people on the left and right had already fallen asleep. If you do something, no one will know, but the heavy thinking of the calamity has long since lost this mind.
Thinking about some things, Calamity could only look up at the eternal white jade plate.
