Hundred Ghosts x Inexplicable Chapter 4

The wind is light and the clouds are light, and there are no waves on the water.

The Bone Girl leaned alone on the edge of the bridge, thoughtful.

"Today, that little ghost from the Ampere family won't come. The Bone Maiden looked at the sky.

There was a ripple on the surface of the water, and the corners of the woman's mouth that suddenly appeared on the bridge rose, and a trace of sadness was revealed in her eyes: "Probably, I won't come back in the future." ”

The bone girl was still looking at the sky, and did not make a move because of the sudden arrival of the woman. After a moment of silence, the Bone Maiden spoke first, "I thought you'd at least go to his bar mig. Li. ”

"Haha-. Hashihime laughed maniacally, "How is that possible." Aren't I going to die? Besides, what qualifications do we have? ”

"This kind of posture is not what the legendary Princess Li should have. The Bone Girl teased.

"Crazy!" Hashihime stopped smiling, her eyes cold.

Knowing that she had touched the taboo of Hashihime, the bone girl didn't speak again.

"Perhaps, the next time we meet, it will be the enemy. Hashihime's expression was downcast.

"We're rivals with Onmyoji. ”

The moonlight is scattered on the water, but the mirror-like water cannot reflect the surrounding reflections.

The fire in the mountains was bright, and large shadows moved with the torches. But in the eyes of people outside the mountain, it is peaceful.

"The time has come, and the feast is about to begin. ”

There were more people of the same kind gathered at the water's edge, and the tables, chairs, wine, and meat had been set out at some point, and the fire was bright, but the banquet was not as lively as it should be, and even though the conversation and laughter continued, the atmosphere was a little strange.

"Woo, I don't want to be an enemy with my inexplicable brother. There was a coquettish voice from the little fox next to him.

"It's noisy, little ghost. The Bone Girl frowned, but glanced at Hashihime again.

"But, but......" The little fox couldn't hold back the tears, it was too small to shape. Among the youkai, only babies can be counted. The happiest time the little fox can remember is spent with Ampere inexplicably.

"Crazy, why should you. Uncle Utengu joined the conversation.

"There is no such thing as a feast in the world. Hashihime was immersed in her own thoughts.

The banquet was still going on, and the powerful demonic energy was also condensed in the mountain air for emanation. Even if they were discovered by the Ampere family, they didn't have time to pay attention, today is an important day. Light snow began to fall in the sky, and there should be no snow this season. It seems that the Snow Maiden is here.

On the other side of the mountain, the moon is thick. The ceremony is also in full swing.

The night of eleven years ago.

It's still at the water's edge, and since the disappearance of the slippery head ghost, the hundred ghosts have no leader.

The youkai held a banquet and debated who would lead the next Hyakki Night Walk. After all, it's been too long since the slippery head disappeared.

The lights are bright, the wine and meat are singing and dancing, so lively.

Hashihime held up the wine glass and drank alone, a move that shouldn't belong to her now, and a hint of blush appeared on her cold face. Suddenly, Hashihime raised an eyebrow, "Who's there, come out!"

Everyone stopped arguing and focused their eyes on the big banyan tree. Behind the tree slowly walked a boy of about 5 years old, with a beautiful face and big innocent eyes that looked a little timid but curious.

"Human children?"

"Smack-"

"Haha, there's a delicious food delivered to the door!" The ghosts were amused, and no one noticed that the wine glass in Hashihime's hand suddenly slipped off.

The little boy was a little overwhelmed and looked extra cute.

Qiao Ji was stunned, and shook his head again, it seemed that he was a little drunk and stepped forward: "Little ghost, you came alone, do you know who we are?"

"Li, why are you talking so much nonsense, just eat it. The Bone Girl smiled and walked over.

"Yes, this is a place where youkai gather, and you are all youkai!" the little boy blinked.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and the laughter stopped.

"Little ghost, since you know, aren't you afraid? ”

"Why be afraid?"

The bone girl was interested, squinting her slender eyes, approaching the little boy, and the corners of her mouth were hooked on her bewitching face, looking bewitching and weird.

"Crazy!" the bone girl ignored Hashihime, she felt that there was something unusual about Hashihime today.

Suddenly, the face of the bone girl came to the little boy, and she tore it from her neck with sharp fingers, and the amazing face fell off completely, and the little boy saw the white bones in front of him, and the empty eye frame was black to the depths of his brain.

The monsters looked at the frightened boy with wide eyes and slightly open mouth with a good show, and the bone girl was a little proud.

"Wow! I saw a living Bone Girl!!" the boy exclaimed, looking at the Bone Girl. This time it was the turn of the ghosts to open their mouths wide, and the living bone girl ...... If the bone girl was a human, she must have a cross on her head at this time.

"Who the hell are you. Hashihime looked at the boy.

"I, my name is Ampere!"

Qiao Ji was completely stunned, and the bone girl was also stunned for a moment, and glanced back at Qiao Ji behind her.

"Are you the Onmyoji of the Ampere family?" Hashihime asked.

"No, I am the third son of my family, to be precise, the future onmyoji. In fact, the boy has a good impression of this Hashihime, who doesn't look much older than him, after all, Hashihime is only eleven or twelve years old now.

My family...... Hashihime pondered. The memory seemed to drift far away, so long that Hashihime thought she would never remember it again. That memory should be buried with history and disappear. But ah, that person's back, no matter how long it takes, can't forget it, it's always far away in the dream, no matter what, I can't catch it.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

In the 27th year of Zhaoyue, the Huai'an Empire was celebrated by the whole country. The first child of the king and queen was born, and she was named Princess of the Sixteen Nights, with the single name Li.

"Your Highness, the king has asked you to prepare to go to the study to meet him. The maid sent a message to Her Royal Highness the 6-year-old Princess.

Li Ji was flying a kite in the garden at this time, and was a little dissatisfied when she was interrupted, and pouted, "Got it, is there something my father is looking for me?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the slave doesn't know, it seems that the head of the Ampere family brought a few young sons into the palace. The maid replied as she helped Li Ji arrange her clothes.

"Father!" Li Ji did not wait for the maid to announce, and threw herself into the king's arms.

"My little princess, it's really rude!" Wang smiled and caught Li Ji and held it in his arms. "Hehe, let Mr. Ampere smile. ”

"Where, where, His Royal Highness is so lively and lovely, it is also a blessing for my country. ”

In the face of the praise of the man known as Ampere, Li Ji was a little proud, but she still got down from the king's arms reservedly, "What is the matter with my father calling his sons?"

"Li'er, didn't you say a few days ago that you would find a friend to study and play with you, no, these children of the Ampere family, you can choose one of them as your companion. ”

Li Ji pursed her lips, and casually mentioned to her father a few days ago that she was also lonely in the palace, but she didn't expect her father to really find someone for herself. It was only then that Li Ji noticed that there were 7 or 8 boys behind Mr. Ampere, who were older than herself.

"If any of these children can grow up with His Royal Highness, it will be his honor. The man named Ampere laughed.

Li Ji looked at the boys, the oldest was no more than 10 years old, and each had his own characteristics; "Your Highness!" they all smiled and greeted Li Ji, who knew that this must have been trained in advance.

Suddenly, Li Ji shifted her gaze to the shortest child on the very edge, her big eyes were a little cowardly, as if she wanted to hide her presence.

Li Ji became interested, "What's your name?" Li Ji took the initiative to speak to the boy.

"Ah, back to Your Highness, the name of the little people is Anpei inexplicable. The boy obviously didn't expect Liji to talk to him.

"Inexplicable, such a strange name, it's funny, I don't like the title of 'Your Highness', so in the future, we will just use 'you' and 'I' between us. "The king already knew that Li Ji had chosen her little friend.

"Mr. Ampere, look ......"

"Wang, but this child is not from his own family, but just a small branch of the family......"

"Eh, Li'er likes it. ”

"Alas, inexplicably, not without gratitude. ”

"Ampere, thank you for your majesty's love and your highness!"

"Hurry up!" Li Ji pulled Amp up inexplicably, "Father, that kid will retire first." With that, he pulled Ampere out of the study inexplicably.

"This kid ...... There are no rules at all......"

The remaining children left with Mr. Ampere, either happy or disappointed.
