Since ancient times, ghosts have been a symbol of power, and the long wrestling on their heads is probably their basic portrayal.

All in all, this is a race that has nothing to do with elegance, but there are always exceptions to everything.

"Ah, please wait."

The voice was like a young girl singing the praises of youth in the schoolyard, with short pink hair fluttering in the wind, white arms waving high, and small broken steps that were slightly faster but not agitated, this was probably the strangest existence that Wu Ye had ever seen in this city.

She always has a quiet but energetic smile on her face, a red cheongsam tattooed with a dignified peony on her upper body, and a long green skirt painted with willow leaves on her lower body.

If it weren't for the pair of sharp ghost horns on the top of his head, Wu Ye would really think that he had become the protagonist of some kind of love, and he was waiting for his school sister to come home from school together.

"Excuse me, it's Aaron, my lord—right?" Tilting her head slightly, the pink-haired ghost girl's fluttering doubts are like a soft breeze caressing the flower season, warm and penetrating.

But why do you have to add an Azig?

“...... It's me. The mask did a good job of blocking the moment when Takeya was rude, and his momentary hesitation was calm when he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"I've been asked by Suika to come here, and I'm going to attend the Tengu's banquet today, right?"

"That's right," Wu Ye nodded, and then said curiously: "Epika, cough - was asked by Miss Cuixiang?" Could it be that the 'guard' that Miss Zi said yesterday was you? ”

Although he didn't mean to underestimate the other party, but is this slender girl really enough to take on the role of "guard"? It's not that the girl's body is slender, but this character that is incompatible with the ghost clan appears slender.

"Yes."

Even though Wu Ye's words had the meaning of underestimating people, the ghost girl's attitude did not change in the slightest: "Please don't worry, I will definitely protect the safety of Lord Aaron." ”

"You don't need to be an adult or anything, just call me by my name." Wu also waved his hand casually, being called by honorifics or something, he had never been used to it.

"Is that so? Then allow me to be rude. The ghost girl lifted the ends of her hair, and her big eyes were like the little girl next door.

"Well, also, although Miss Zi said 'guard' or something, in fact, you don't need to care, after all, it's just going to a banquet, so there shouldn't be any major incidents." Wu also said things that he didn't believe, which was a comfort to the other party? Or maybe he was comforting himself.

The ghost girl shook her head unexpectedly, frowned as if she thought of something, and muttered softly, "That's not necessarily, after all, it's a tengu." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"Huh? Ah, I'm sorry, that's me talking to myself, please don't care," said the ghost girl, rolling up her sleeves and showing off a zero-exercise arm that was completely unreassuring: "Anyway, I'm also the general of the ghost clan, and I will definitely protect Ah Long." ”

"Oh......." After a few seconds of silence, Takeya made a calm speech without any fluctuations in his heart: "Then please." ”

"Leave it to me." The ghost girl looks confident.

"By the way, I don't know your name yet?"

"Name?" The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, the ghost girl put one hand on her chest, and the other hand slightly lifted the corner of the skirt: "Hua Fan, my name is Hua Fan, please advise me." ”

"Hua Fan...... Well, please advise. ”

At first glance, Wu Ye seems to think that this name is familiar, but he can't always remember where he heard someone talk about it, and his acquaintance in the ghost clan seems to be only Cuixiang and Yongyi, one is a friend who is not familiar with each other for the time being, and the other is an enemy who accidentally provoked him.

Anyway, she was also assigned by Cuixiang, so her strength shouldn't be any worse, right? She herself said that she was a member of the ghost clan...... Well, general, it's probably a stronger ghost clan.

Based on Wu Ye's thinking logic, it can be inferred that the strength of Gensokyo's combat power can be completely linked to his stature, for example, those powerful existences are either airfield girls or chest stars, and there are few outstanding strength in the part of the general compromise.

The same is true of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Ghost Clan, the young girl and the chest star, so this guy can't be the Ghost King no matter how he thinks, right? Anyway, the ghost king of the ghost clan doesn't have such an idle and idle Four Heavenly King, right?

Not to mention that she doesn't look like a ghost at all, well, it's much gentler than that red Yousan and Cuixiang......

So the mask is really a good thing, and Wu Yi came to the Tengu clan station all the way, and no one understood what he was thinking in silence.

The difference can be clearly felt, and compared to the loose oni clan, the Tengu clan's territory has a very distinct sense of order.

It's not easy to talk about being organized, but it always gives people a sense of stability and order, whether it's the white wolf tengu who guards or the crow tengu who delivers news, each tengu in action has its own job.

Hmm-it seems that this is just a simple complaint about the ghost clan doing nothing all day long and drinking heavily......

Although there are occasionally other youkai in Tengu's station, a special combination like Takeya and Hua Fan still attracts the attention of many Tengu at once.

The white wolf tengu on the street gathered behind the two of them in large numbers, but they didn't mean to get any closer.

Faced with such a situation, Wu Ye was stunned at first, and when he found that most of Tengu's eyes were focused on Hua Fan, he probably understood what was going on.

Before the decline of the Oni Clan, the Tengu used to be a subsidiary of the Oni Clan, although the two clans have been separated for a long time, and the Tengu Clan, which has gradually become stronger, has a faint confidence that the Oni Clan can sit on an equal footing, but the Oni is still a Ghost after all.

That fear will not be easily dispelled.

Just when the Tengu stopped what they were doing and began to gather towards Takeya and Hua Fan in large numbers, someone finally stopped the further development of the situation.

"Stand down." The black wings spread out of the Raven Tengu descended from the sky, and the momentum of the big monster coupled with the prestige accumulated on weekdays easily made the Tengu retreat honestly, and to be honest, it was the first time that Takeya had seen Wenwen appear as the Great Youkai Tengu.

"Welcome, Ah Long," Wen Wen greeted Ah Long with a smile, and then his eyes turned, and the smile on his face changed slightly: "Lord Ibaraki, may I ask what you are doing here?" ”

Ibaraki? My lord? Wu Ye looked back at Hua Fan who was still calm in surprise, Wenwen actually called her an adult? Could it be that I guessed wrong? Is she really the king of the four heavens?

"Don't be so nervous, Wenwen, I'm here with Ah Long, and Cui Xiang has asked me to take care of his guards." Hua Fan still had a faint smile on his face, but Wenwen's expression became more and more serious.

Neither of the two spoke, and they stalemate in place for a while, and Wen Wencai was defeated with a complicated expression: "Please follow me...... Two people. ”

Heading straight into the hinterland of the Tengu territory, more and more Tengu cast strange glances at the two, and Takeya's hand wanted to put it on the sword several times, but the fan was still as plain as ever.

The five-minute journey was simply exhausting, and finally arrived at the main hall of the banquet, and the moment Takeya stepped into it, he could hardly feel the powerful aura coming from the front without looking.

Looking up, the one-winged tengu on the main throne, its red and turquoise eyes were staring at the flower fan that came with him......

Although she couldn't see the situation at the Tengu station, Yakumo Murasaki, who was far away from the ghost clan, still showed a pleasant smile, but Suika, who was drinking with her, was full of helplessness.

"Purple, even if you really need a guard, there's no need to let Hua Fan go, right? This will make them think that you are deliberately provocative. ”

"We just did it on purpose, Ibaraki Hua Fan, hehe, it's great to be back at this time, well- it's really curious, what kind of expression will that Heavenly Demon guy show now."

"......" Cuixiang shook her head, just trying to drink the wine dry.

Yes, in fact, to put it mildly, she is also very curious about what kind of situation Hua Fan and Heavenly Demon will meet.

Ibaraki Hua Fan - That is the strongest ghost general under her command, as early as when she was in the name of the drunken boy, the Ibaraki boy was already the terrifying ghost of Rashomon.

However, the most famous thing for Hua Fan among monsters was when the Heavenly Demon proposed to break away from the ghost clan, and one of his wings was torn off by Hua Fan in a duel on the spot......
