"I'm finally back, Aaron, and I'm really worried to death."

"Sorry, I accidentally went too far."

If you ignore the girl's name and strength, then her delicate appearance is really very cute...... Sure enough, my head is broken somewhere.

Pretending to be curious, Wu Ya pretended to be unclear and asked, "By the way, has the youkai successfully retreated?" ”

"No," Qingming spit out these two words, and there was a bit of gnashing of teeth in his words: "I was rescued by a guy who didn't know where in a way that I didn't know." ”

"Really? I didn't expect her to have reinforcements, what a mistake," I said 10,000 sorry in my heart, and Wu Ye couldn't see any clues on his masked face: "By the way, I just went to the front to take a look, and I didn't find the investigation team, did they go back first?" ”

"That's impossible, and it's normal not to be found."

"Huh? Why? ”

"Because it's all gone, you don't think they'll be able to go back intact when they encounter a big monster, right?"

“......”

Anyway, the topic has unexpectedly become so heavy.

Takeya is not a cold-blooded person, but he has not fully adapted to the concept of life and death in this era, and perhaps if he can let Takeya meet the investigation force before they are completely wiped out, then he may feel a little sad in his heart.

To put it bluntly, there is no sense of reality.

Besides, this is just the death of a group of people who have never met before, and they don't even know their names, why should they feel sorry for them, they are not right to provoke the big monster without permission? Thinking of this, Wu Ye suddenly found in horror -

He seems to be looking more and more like a youkai.

"Don't be in a daze, let's go, Aaron."

"Are you going back?" Three or two steps to catch up with Qingming, who was the first to turn back, Wu Ye asked euphemistically: "Don't you need to help them, can those people who investigate the army deal with the aftermath?" ”

In fact, he really wanted to call Shang Qingming to bury those unlucky people together, but if he said it, he was actually one of the accomplices, the disgusting hypocrisy was blocked in his throat, and the mask of hypocrisy made him unable to say it anyway.

"No need, going will only make the mood worse," Qingming hung his head and walked straight back, "Moreover, it is also troublesome to separate the scattered corpses according to everyone's order." ”

“......”

It's embarrassing, listening to Qingming's words, Wu Ye suddenly wanted to vomit, and the smell of blood in the air that had not completely dissipated stimulated his fragile taste buds.

It was the worst joke he'd ever heard, but he couldn't laugh, he couldn't even complain, and he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would have to run to the side in shame and spit out the breakfast that he hadn't finished spitting up.

Ironically, even I have personally participated in the war, but I have never seen a real corpse, and I am disgusted by the other party's words, which is really embarrassing.

Probably because Qingming was in a bad mood, she wasn't as energetic as when she came back, and the two were silent all the way.

After returning to Kyoto, the old man actually even prepared a banquet, it seems that this guy is very aware of Qingming's combat effectiveness, listening to the conversation between the two, thinking that the master in Qingming's mouth should be him, right?

In terms of Wu Ye's personal opinion, Qingming is not a little stronger than the old man, I really don't know how embarrassed he is to teach his apprentices.

As one of the "heroes", Takeya also attended the banquet as a matter of course, and unlike the previous meetings, this time his position was behind Yuko, so he was a little overwhelmed by Yuko's barrage of questions.

"Hey, this isn't going on an outing, let's figure it out, we're going to work hard, okay?"

"What, it wouldn't be good to tell me, I haven't seen tengu when I'm so old, do they really have wings on their backs?"

"......" Takeya, who had no way to talk to Yuko, had to shut up to dodge.

In addition, due to the close relationship between sitting down, he also listened to a lot of movements on Qingming's side, and it was very inauthentic to eavesdrop on other people's words, but the five senses of the body transformed by demonic power have improved a lot, so this is force majeure.

Wu also heard Qingming tell the old man directly about the news of the total destruction of the investigation force, but the old man just nodded and said nothing more.

So Wu also saw Qingming snatch the wine from the old man's table and ran out alone.

Because the old man announced that this was a long-lost "victory", everyone at the banquet was very lively in pushing glasses and changing lamps, and almost no one noticed that Qingming disappeared from the banquet, except for Takeya, who didn't drink because he was underage.

Holding the trace of guilt in his heart that could not be dissipated, Takeya said hello to Yuko and quietly followed.

Then Wu also saw Qingming drinking alone under the moon, which should have been an extremely beautiful picture, but he couldn't connect the guy who stepped on the railing with one foot and poured wine into his throat with a wine jug and the word beauty.

Alas, it's a pity to have a daughter's body.

"Yo, Aaron, why are you here?" As if hearing Takeya's sigh, Qingming stopped drinking, smiled and handed the jug to Takeya: "Do you want to have some?" The chef's sake is delicious. ”

"I said you, definitely not an adult, right?" Wu Ye stared at Qingming's small body and said, "And girls don't talk about wine and wine every day." ”

"Wow, what a word, Aaron, where are you the old woman?" Qingming shook her hand at Wu Ye in disgust, her cheeks flushed, she shouldn't be drunk.

Seeing that Takeya had an expression of wanting to complain, Qingming stepped on the railing and put it away, and then forcibly stuffed the wine jug to Takeya: "Come, let's drink together." ”

“......”

This time Wu didn't refuse, honestly took the wine jug, but didn't drink it, looking at Qingming's side face, he said, "Actually, you're in a very bad mood, right?" Because of the old man's words. ”

"Huh? What are you talking about? ”

"Your master," Takeya stared into Qingming's eyes, trying to see something from them, "You just said those words to him, just to want him to order you to take revenge, for those who died." ”

Being recalled by Wu Ye bad memories, the smile on Qingming's face gradually faded, she turned her head, and her slightly solemn gaze became as cunning as a prank in an instant.

Smack.

Wu Ye felt a sudden pain in his forehead, it turned out that Qingming had a brain crash on him, isn't this guy? I'm wearing a mask, hey, how hard are you going to do penetrating damage? You mean it, right?

"Hahaha," seeing Wu Ye's stunned reaction, Qingming smiled and leaned back and said, "Ah Long, are you stupid?" Or do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm the kind of guy who has to take revenge when his companion dies? ”

"......" To be honest, Wu also blushed a little, and was nakedly ridiculed, obviously wearing a mask, this guy can still guess his thoughts so easily.

Honestly admitting his immaturity, Wu also paused and said, "I thought you would definitely be sad about the death of those people in the investigation team, it seems that I thought too much." ”

"No, I'm really sad," the smile on Qingming's face did not diminish, but those eyes could make people feel that she was not joking: "It is human beings who die, it is my compatriots, of course I will feel sad." ”

"Then why ......?"

"I'll be sad, I'll be sad, I'll want to avenge them, but I won't say such childish things."

Qingming lay on the railing, holding his crooked head with one hand, his eyes falling on the silent night sky: "It's my responsibility to fight the monsters, and it's my duty to avenge the dead companions, if you can retire the monsters by shouting a few more revenge words, how can they die." ”

"......" Wu didn't speak, and Qingming's mature way of thinking made him speechless.

"Eat and sleep well, and pour out your anger on the youkai in the next battle, the meaning of the living is to remember those who died, but not to be bound by them."

As he spoke, Qingming snatched the wine jug from Takeya's hand and toasted him: "And, ah, with such a fine wine in front of you, wouldn't it be a pity not to drink a glass?" ”

Maybe in the eyes of some people, the girl's words are too open-minded and even a little cold-blooded and ruthless, but Wu Ye unexpectedly feels that she is so dazzling.

"Come, Aaron," Qingming said as he handed the flask to Takeya again, "have a drink." ”

Wu Ye looked down at the flask handed over by Qingming, and the guilt in his heart had disappeared at some point, replaced by the firmness that should have been found a long time ago.

"I'm sorry, Qingming, and thank you."

"Huh? What did you say all of a sudden, Aaron? I'm the one who should say I'm sorry, right? Doubted you today for no reason. ”

"No, that's not what I'm talking about," Wu Ye shook his head seriously and said, "You have your responsibility, and I also have mine, so I must say this, otherwise I may not have a chance in the future." ”

"Inexplicably, you guy."

"Haha, maybe, I must have a bad head today, by the way, and-"

He laughed, and suddenly reached out to take Qingming's wine jug, but he still didn't drink it, and said to Qingming's teaser, which still had a small half, and said:

"Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol, this confiscation."

"W-isn't it?!"
