4. The moon covers the west, and only flowers appear

Axes, wrenches, screwdrivers, crowbars...... As long as it's a little harder in the store, Kyoko will cast a curious and fanatical gaze like a researcher discovering an unknown mystery, and forced by Kyoko's silent plea, Beidou has to buy everything that can be moved, and what Kyoko fancies. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Although the price is a lot cheaper, but the advantage is to buy a lot of money, such a customer no shopkeeper will be bored, after carefully putting the purchased tools into the bag, made a big deal, the shopkeeper with a spring breeze politely sent these two "distinguished customers" out.

Filled with two bags of "tools", even Beidou, who has a lot more strength, can't help but feel a little heavy when he lifts it, and Kyoko, who is in a very good mood, also showed a real smile for the first time after coming to this world, and at this moment Beidou also felt that it was worth spending money to buy two bags of "arsenal".

Every child is eye-catching when they smile genuinely. Kyoko, who squints her eyes and even walks a lot briskly, looks like a docile cat, although she wants to touch her head again, but Beidou, who is carrying a heavy bag in both hands, can only give Kyoko the most simple smile.

"Are you having fun today?"

"Hmm!" Kyoko's answer was much more crisp than ever, which clearly proved her true love for "weapons", although Kyoko usually suppressed her thoughts, and behaved very silently and cautiously, but she was still a teenager in her bones after all, and frankly expressing her thoughts was the cutest thing about children of this age.

"What do you want to eat when you get home?"

"Meat!"

"Whew...... Sure enough, it's meat. ”

Beidou shook his head with a smile, Kyoko's impulse for meat, although it was not obvious in the past, was still noticed a lot by the keen Beidou. Ripple not only likes to eat meat, but even a little cheeky to grab food with Kyoko, Banyu doesn't seem to be picky about food, but her brother Banyang has a little vegetarian fetish.

It's not so easy to make a dinner that everyone can satisfy, but Beidou has become a lot more proficient after a few attempts, and compared to eating alone and washing dishes, there is still a noisy dinner to be happy.

"Eat more vegetables, or you will have acne on your face. ”

"The soul doesn't get pimples. ”

"Hmm...... Anyway, eat a little bit. Beidou blushed, Kyoko was a lot smarter than he thought.

"Hmm. This time, Kyoko's answer was a little unstraightforward, but she didn't refuse.

It's past seven o'clock, and after putting down the bag in his hand and answering the phone calls from Banyu and Banyang successively, Beidou, who sent them home first, has no worries, and the rest only needs to take Jingzi and her "arsenal" back.

It's just that...... At a certain moment when I don't know if it's Beidou or Kyoko, or if both of them feel something, Kyoko, who has been staring at the "arsenal", suddenly retracts her gaze after a pause in her footsteps, and then reaches out and pulls Beidou's sleeve.

"Brother, let's take a detour, there is a place you want to go. ”

"Well, it's okay, I've asked them to cook first. Where do you want to go?" Beidou lifted the bag in his hand, it was indeed two very heavy cloth bags, but perhaps it was because of this good weight that Beidou's mind became much calmer than before.

"Where there are few people, huh...... A place where you can see the moon. Kyoko naturally grabbed the corner of Beidou's clothes, and her voice was a little quieter, "There are more trees." ”

There are many such places, and what Beidou wants to take Kyoko to is exactly the place that Kyoko described.

"Hmm...... The corner of the street turns around, how about the little pavilion that enjoys the coolness?" Beidou asked, as for whose opinion he was asking, I am afraid that even he himself has been confused.

"Well, there it is. ”

Kyoko nodded, taking the lead in her steps. Maybe it's because it's night, or maybe it's because of something that even Beidou doesn't plan to know, the flow of people around has become less and less with the footsteps of the two, and the street lamps stretch and shorten the shadows of the two, swaying, one tall and one short, and nothing else.

It should have been like this, perhaps, it wasn't from the beginning.

【Whew~】

After the two of them stepped to the end of the street lamp, and the last strand of people around them dried up like a stream without water, a slightly cold night wind blew in their faces. Rolling up are the green leaves that should be evergreen, the petals that should bloom, some kind of ...... You can't find floral scents here.

There is a vague shadow swaying in the dim afterglow of the street lamp, and a soft figure is waiting in the distant flower shadow.

It's like a youkai, maybe an ordinary person would say that, and then run away out of fear. But for Beidou...... That's a monster, and if you learn to run away like an ordinary person here, it's hard to imagine the consequences.

Although I had thought of such a possibility at first, but Xixun, this monster who is a half-yang teacher, really followed the clues and found it? and...... The first person to find it is still himself.

"The response was good, but that's not enough. ”

Xi Xing's figure slowly walked out from the shadow of the flowers, the dark purple kimono, which was dotted with light-colored cherry blossoms that seemed to be blooming, and the waist-length long hair floated slightly because of the night wind, and a few strands of hair crossed her charming cheeks from time to time, perhaps as she showed this, Xi Xing's own elegance, but the dark glow of the knife wrapped in the cloth in her arms silently told that she had more than just elegance.

Maybe Beidou didn't know it when he first met Xixing, but after that, Beidou learned a lot about Xixing and this half-yang monster teacher from Banyukou.

Xixing is indeed a kind of youkai, but the current "she" is the "shape" of the knife in her arms, in other words, the knife wrapped in cloth is actually the "body" of Xixing. Weapons that can be self-aware can be regarded as "gods of the world" in apocryphal history or mythology, and weapons that can be transformed are even more powerful, not to mention how dangerous it is that not only has a "shape", but even a weapon that is elegant and mature in its style that is incomparable to human beings.

Banyu had told him very solemnly before, and when he met Xixun who came to find Banyang, he could hide and run, but judging from the current situation, it was not an occasion to turn around and say goodbye. Xijing seems to be coming for himself.

"Little girl, when did you notice it?"

Xixing, who had a face-to-face with Beidou, didn't make any drastic moves, but just set a soft gaze on Kyoko, who had already been on guard, "It's obviously just the wind." ”

"Don't lie to anyone! And weird scents!"

Kyoko tensed up like a furry wild cat, and her hands clenched into fists. This is the first time Beidou has seen Kyoko so nervous, obviously when he fought to the death with the strong in the gladiatorial arena before, Kyoko did not show this level.

No, it's not so much nervousness as it is ...... Is it panic and fear?

Beidou, who gritted his teeth, also put down the bag in his hand and stared at Xixun's figure tightly, and soon, Rao was not as sensitive as Jingzi, and he also felt a hint of danger.

"I felt it from the beginning!

"Clever kid. Xi Xun smiled, a very soft smile, if it wasn't shown now, I'm afraid even Beidou would look at it twice, but now Beidou feels more and more pressure and tension.

"Is there something wrong......

Taking a deep breath, Beidou took a step forward from Kyoko's hand. Here, he can't be a coward yet, "I should have met you before." ”

"Well, that's true, I have an impression of you and me, very 'clean' young man. Xi Jing's long sleeves hid his face slightly, "I don't want to disturb you if it's okay, although it doesn't hurt for young people to see the world more, but Banyang is still a little immature, so ......"

"I ......"

"Can you tell me ......?"

Before Beidou could open his mouth to defend himself, Xixin untied the cloth bag wrapped in the long knife, the wooden handle and scabbard, which didn't seem to have any characteristics, but what kind of elegant and sharp sharpness was hidden in it, Beidou didn't have time to fully understand.

I don't want to know about it at all.

"Banyang, where are the others now?"
