Beside Tsukasa Kurihara, an old man in a casual casual casual dress was looking at Tsukasa Kurihara with interest.

He is not tall, more than half a head shorter than Kurihara Division, but his face is kind and elegant, and he has two mustaches on his upper lip, and he has no obscene meaning but is a little calm.

Tsukasa Kurihara didn't know him, but Qiu who was one position behind next to him still recognized him, and Kitayashi was half a position behind him, and there was a faint sense of protection by this person's side.

"Long... Elderly! ”

The head of the family has seen the world and recognized the amiable old man in front of him as the protector of Qingqiu, and the only few remaining helmsmen after the catastrophe - Beichang.

The elders dressed casually during the Edo period, the Hokuzen wore a samurai suit for mobility during the Meiji period, and the Aki was a contemporary professional woman's outfit with her hair tied into a simple ponytail and a secretary-like look.

Three foxes in three periods, quite novel.

After the shout of the master, everyone around noticed this, and the square was noisy and panicked for a while. A few low-ranking people who were similar to the masters had already knelt down on one knee, and those humanoid foxes also stopped and bowed their heads.

Only Tsukasa Kurihara alone is not unusual, but has become an alien.

"Since it's a grand ceremony, you don't have to be like this, you can do what you have to do." The elder spoke loudly, bursting out in a volume that was extremely inconsistent with his appearance, and looked at the owner, "This is your stall?" Come to think of it, you're called the master, right? Seafood for the event? People are old, and their memory is not very good. ”

"The elders can be familiar with each other, and the small ones are convinced." The panicked response of the head of the house but did not face the panic of the elders, with a little joy and sincerity, and even with a spring breeze on his face, he said what he had explained to Tsukasa Kurihara before.

No one talked to Tsukasa Kurihara while the elder was talking, and it seemed that he was giving Tsukasa Kurihara a horse, only Akizai's eyes fluctuated a little when he first saw him and the owner.

Tsukasa Kurihara didn't care too much, he played with the shells in his hand and looked at the novelties on the stall, allowing the Hokwanaga to have a condolence conversation.

Half of the elder's attention is always left on this half-way "Onmyoji". He said that he was an onmyoji, but he hadn't figured out exactly what was going on, and he was suspicious of the identity of Tsukasa Kurihara.

He doesn't have the spell abilities that are common to onmyoji, and he hasn't seen him summon a god-hairball that he always carries with him, and so does Akane. The second Onmyoji has been inherited in that catastrophe, and even if there is, it is on the other side of the world.

But the person in front of him came to Qingqiu to find a way to talk about the world.

Strange, really strange, there must be something in it that he didn't know.

However, the shackles from the contract on Akane's body are so strong, someone must have done it, and only Kuri Hara was the only one in his vision.

In the usual way, the elder will definitely let people get rid of this person who dares to do something to Akane, as long as the main party dies, the power of the contract will naturally disappear, and the onmyoji's subjugation is probably like this.

But the contract attached to Akane is very vicious, and the death of the master and the subordinate will also be martyred. But only Akane was eligible for sacrifice·······

Thinking that the upset elder stopped to greet the vendors around him, and thought that it was almost time for the dismount to Tsukasa Kurihara, he smiled and picked up the previous words: "Mr. Kurihara is used to staying with me?" ”

Maybe it's because he has been in Aogaoka for too long, and the elder speaks in the style of the Edo period, which sounds very awkward to Tsukasa Kurihara, but he replied without showing his face, "It's good." Looks like you've been busy lately. ”

Listening to Tsukasa Kurihara's casual tone, the elder had not yet reacted Bei Zen on the side raised his eyebrows coldly, It looked like he was going to eat people. But the elder spread his hands and pressed it, and responded with a smile: "It's over." I think Mr. saw the preparations for the ceremony. Just wait for the time to come. ”

Tsukasa Kurihara looked around, and finally landed his gaze in the middle of the square: "That stage is where Akane wants to dance?" ”

"Huh?" The elder frowned, how could this person explain Akane's role in the grand ceremony so clearly.

"Gala dance, isn't it? Now that Akane is back, the forgotten parts of the festival should be re-enacted one by one, I think. ”

"Haha." The elder laughed twice, "Sir, it's good to deduce, yes, Akane will appear at the grand ceremony at that time." ”

After the chief admitted this, there was a whisper all around, although it was rumored that there would be a grand dance, but everyone could only discuss it in private. Now I am very excited to get the confirmation of the elders.

But Qiu on the side noticed another point, and said crisply: "The elders have been preparing for the grand ceremony in the past two days, if you snub you, sir, I hope you don't be surprised." Maoqiu-san's injuries have largely healed, and he is now recuperating from his injuries at the treatment center. Is the gentleman going to visit? ”

After listening to Aki's words, Tsukasa Kurihara immediately realized that the other party couldn't hold his breath and took the initiative to find him. It seems that his guess is correct, and the contract on Akane is more tricky than his business.

He nodded, "Please." ”

Autumn broke away from behind the elder and walked in front of Tsukasa Kurihara, raised his hand in invitation, and Tsukasa Kurihara stepped forward.

The head of the house subconsciously wanted to keep up, but was stopped by Beishan, and the elder said kindly: "The head of the house, is the business good recently?" ”

The head of the house understood, and retracted his feet and replied respectfully: "Thanks to the blessings of the adults, this spring's coastal harvest is much better than last year's, and the condition is also good. ”

On the other side, Tsukasa Kurihara and Aki walked wordlessly on the stone path.

This is a wealthy area, lined with single-family buildings, a few department stores scattered on the street, and many vehicles are parked, but pedestrians are rare.

The head of the house can't bring Tsukasa Kurihara to a place like this. Although Tsukasa Kurihara has this privilege, it takes a lot of money to explain to the guards at the entrance of the street, and the head of the house does not mention that Tsukasa Kurihara does not take the initiative to go this way. He also wanted to see the true face of Qingqiu, not like now-

After all, there are only a few people who can transform into shapes, and although the house has been repaired here, the occupancy rate is obviously not high. Looking at the parked vehicles, Tsukasa Kurihara guessed that the head of several houses should be the same person. In his previous conjecture, Qingqiu was like a paradise, not to mention that everyone is equal, but it should not be the current semi-feudal and semi-capitalist appearance.

In the nearly 100 years since it was cut off from the world, it seems that Qingqiu has not developed at all······

Also, there are no external worries and internal troubles, why is Fei Na so vigorous in reform. Kurihara Tsukasa saw the current situation, Qingqiu had not reached the peak of mourning, and although there was some oppression, it was within the range of the people's tolerance, and he would not rebel.

It's a pity, it's a

Tsukasa Kurihara shook his head slightly, and this change also fell in Qiu's eyes, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr.?" ”

"Did you get to the sanatorium?" Tsukasa Kurihara took up a different story.

"Just go around the corner in front of you."

"Hmm."

Tsukasa Kurihara didn't say much, and Aki, who was full of eyesight, didn't ask any more, and the two came to the sanatorium.
