Chapter 19: The Sage and the Ghost King
At the beginning, Takeya had a question in his heart, but he never had a chance to ask, that is, why Yuko and Youji were able to come to Kyoto so easily, knowing that she originally lived in the north.
Also, when Yuko misunderstands that she is a youkai, her first reaction is not worry but doubt.
But if the youkai sage Yakumo Murasaki and Yuko are friends, then everything is easy to explain.
Although Youji hides his identity as a youkai, with his current strength, it is definitely not enough to escort Yuko out of the territory of youkai alone...... Unless someone is secretly helping.
And that is Yakumo Murasaki, with the help of this monster sage, let alone leaving the north safely, even if he lives in the north with a swagger, there will be no danger.
Therefore, when we first met, it was not surprising that Yuuko brought out the order of the yokai sage "do not approach Kyoto", because it was not a warning, but a hint.
"However, this is still a big joke, the daughter of the hope of mankind, Yuko Saiyuki, and the leader of the monster alliance, the Yokai Sage Yakumo Murasaki, are childhood sweethearts." Wu also sighed, wanting to laugh but couldn't laugh.
"Hey, hey." Like a child who has been poked out of a prank, Yuko sticks out her tongue in embarrassment.
Looking at Yuko's heartless smile, thinking of his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance just now, Wu also felt a burst of shame, and he deliberately squeezed out: "Hey, it's a shame that you can still laugh, and you're about to face your friends with swords, aren't you sad?" ”
"Swords against each other? Why? I'm not going to do that kind of thing. ”
"Have you forgotten? You're the daughter of a westward mage, so don't you still want to stay out of it? ”
"It's not that you stay out of the matter, but there's no need to fight," Yuko's shining eyes stared at Takeya and said, "Didn't you just say Takeya, the way to let everyone live in peace." ”
“...... Are you serious? ”
Wu wasn't joking, but if he said something like that, it was called a fool's dream, but if Yuko said something like this, it would be an embarrassment.
emmmmmmm...... Isn't that a bit too much to say about the two of them?
But you can't blame Wu Ye for talking about people like this.,The supreme spiritual leader of the human race and the supreme power leader of the monster are actually good friends of childhood sweethearts.,This premise alone is enough to make people surprised.。
If the person who listened to Yuko say this today was not Wu Ye, but someone else, then what he had to do next must be to cry three times, and then kill Yuko and then commit suicide.
Humans in this era have a black-and-white dualism towards youkai, and there is no room for negotiation, even if it is a sober character like Qingming, he is only calmly hostile to youkai, and will never want to live in peace with them.
Speaking of which,It's strange that Yuko should be right.,She's lived with youkai since she was a child.,Her values have long been different from ordinary humans.。
But then her words really surprised Wu Ye a little.
"It's not just me, she thinks the same way as me."
It's really not shocking, but the more unbelievable part is still to come, only to hear Yuko continue: "What about Zi her, although she looks cold, but in fact, she is very kind-hearted, although her personality is a little worse, but when she cares about people, she is very gentle, beautiful, and knows how to take care of people, if anyone marries her, it will be——"
"It's better to live than to die."
"Really! Takeya, what are you talking about! ”
"Hehe, it's okay, it was just me talking to myself just now, don't you care......"
Can there be such a big gap between people's perceptions? Even when Wu Ye was young and ignorant, he never put the words kindness and gentleness on Yakumo Zi, as for beauty-
The relationship between the appearance of the monster and the age was originally very ambiguous, so I won't talk about it, anyway, she will still be like that in another thousand years.
......
......
At this moment, in a city in the north.
"Ahh Ahh Ahh ”
"Hey, what's wrong, you guy, you shouldn't have a cold, right? It's obviously a big monster. ”
"We don't know, I want to sneeze all of a sudden, is it a new type of curse?"
"Hahaha - such an inconspicuous curse, weak."
In the huge castle tower, only the two of them were enjoying the food and wine that was originally used for worship, and although one of the blonde girls had a very similar appearance to humans, her purple eyes were faintly inhuman.
The other was a girl of no more than ten years old, but she had a pair of huge horns on her head.
This is the largest city in the north, and it has long fallen to the hands of youkai, and it is self-evident that they can drink and talk here.
One of them is the leader of the Yokai Alliance, the Yokai Sage Yakumo Murasaki, and the other is her biggest supporter, the Oni Clan's Oni King Wine Swallowing Boy.
Of course, she usually doesn't call each other by such a formal name, and few people know that the wine swallowing boy also has the name Ibuki Suika.
Cui Xiang poured wine into her bowl with a wine gourd in one hand, and her half-drunk and half-awake eyes did not show the depth: "There is news from Tengu's side, it seems that there is a little accident." ”
"A little accident?" Yakumo Zi snorted lightly and said, "In other words, is there finally any movement there from the human race?" Something to be expected. ”
"No, it's a little different from what we expected, Wenwen was defeated."
"Wenwen? Who's that? ”
"I mean, you, at least remember the names of your companions, right?" Suika said helplessly: "Shooting Pill Wen, the right-hand man of the Great Tengu. ”
After listening, Yakumo Zi tried hard to recall, and then found the other party's appearance from the corner of memory: "It's her, let's remember, the little crow who followed the big tengu in the last meeting, if we remember correctly, she's also a big monster, right?" ”
"That's right."
Yakumo Zi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Interesting, did you repel all the big monsters?" There are quite capable people among humans. ”
Hearing the contempt in Yakumo's tone, Suika had to add: "I'm afraid it's not just funny, Wenwen was not only defeated, but also caught by them." ”
"Oh? So she died? Yakumo Zi showed a disgusted expression: "It's really troublesome, so that the big tengu guy is going to come to our ears again, right?" ”
"Don't worry, it's not that bad, it's back."
Cui Xiang picked up the wine bowl and looked at the ripples in it until they calmed down: "There are two pieces of news that Wenwen brought back, one of which is that there is an onmyoji in the human race who needs special attention, and his name is Abe Harumi. ”
"Onmyoji, it's indeed a group of annoying existences, but it's a pity that this time is different, this time they will definitely die a miserable death."
"That's right." Suika raised her glass to Yakumo and smiled knowingly.
Once, Onmyoji was the biggest threat to youkai, not because Onmyoji was more powerful than youkai, but because Onmyoji always appeared in groups compared to lone youkai.
And now that the youkai have gathered to form a combined army, the advantage of the Onmyoji is gone.
Not only in terms of quality, but also in terms of quantity, the monster completely crushed the Onmyoji.
"By the way, what about the other news?"
"Hmm, another one......"
For some reason, when she talked about this, the originally straightforward Suika suddenly became twisted, and her strange expression made Yakumo Zi uncomfortable.
