The fiery red sun slowly blended into the streets, leaving only red residues, curled up tirelessly on the horizon.

Azusa Kawa Takashi carried Jiang Yuanshen to Jinghai's house.

Without even pulling out the key to the locomotive, he stepped out of the car and rang the doorbell in extreme nervousness.

The door was immediately opened, and the deep moon of the sea like a pure white flower appeared in front of the two of them, she was wearing a white dress, and her hair was slightly wet.

The pure white without a trace of stain complements the long black hair.

"Shenyue, what's wrong with her?" Azusa Kawa Takaku couldn't wait to ask.

However, Jinghai Shenyue, who looked calm, glanced at his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Jiang Yuanshen behind him and said:

"Jiang Yuan, did you go to the Zhiniao Shrine today?"

Jiang Yuanshen was stopped by her unexpected question, and seeing her serious expression, he faintly had an intuition-

Seeing the disappearance of the tree at night, it has something to do with the fact that he went to the shrine.

But what does it actually have to do with it? In any case, Jiang Yuanshen couldn't figure it out.

Just when he was in confusion, Masato Shizumi, who was in the living room, caught a glimpse of Azusa Takaku at the door.

The wings of his nose twitched slightly, he raised his hand to untie his tie, and walked over quickly and shouted:

"Azusagawa! I didn't allow you to come back! Did you sneak in and hide the Huntsman?! ”

His tone was far less gentle than that of Bai Ri, and the emotions that came out of his mouth at this time were mixed with full disgust.

Azusa Kawa Koku suddenly glared at him viciously, so angry that his ears turned red.

"You guy! It's not good to look at the search for the oak to pull my head! If something happens to her again! I won't be able to spare you! ”

"Why can't you spare me! Azusa Kawa Takaku! At what angle do you dare to talk back to me! ”

"Then where is Xun Yu now!"

"I should have asked you about this!"

The two middle-aged men completely disregarded their image and accused each other at the door.

Jinghai Shenyue didn't seem to put the conversation between the two people into her heart at all, but looked at Jiang Yuanshen.

Without the slightest hesitation, she reached out and took his arm, saying:

"Follow me."

Jing Hai Yaren's face suddenly became embarrassed, and a heavy and shocking voice fell into his ears:

"Deep Moon! Where are you going too?! ”

Jinghai Shenyue's expression was still unmoving, and she walked out with Jiang Yuan cautiously, her back looked a little more reliable than usual.

Finally, he couldn't contain it completely, the venous sinus on the right side of his throat became a piercing bulge, and his face turned red and muttered loudly:

"Why can't you understand my feelings until now! She suddenly disappeared, do you want to do the same! How much I pay for you! ”

His voice was, "Aren't you cruel to me?"

Jinghai Shenyue did not stop, which made Jinghai Yaren more anxious.

He was not in a hurry when the girl in front of him left the island, because her mother was by his side.

But now, the sudden disappearance of the night saw the search for the oak, causing some kind of burning substance to be born in the brain of Jinghai Masato, making his emotions begin to sway from side to side, and the thoughts and reason floating in the heat flow parted ways.

"Please, you can't go any further!" Jinghai Yaren opened his mouth wide and walked quickly towards Jinghai Shenyue, "I'll go with you to find Xunyu!" These people are simply unreliable! ”

Jinghai Shenyue looked at Jiang Yuanshen, and just opened her mouth shallowly and said:

"Classmate Jiang Yuan, please stop him, if that person wants to follow, he can't do it."

Whenever she made a request, Jiang Yuanshen felt as if she had become an accomplice with Jinghai Shenyue.

Jiang Yuanshen turned around and met his gaze with Jinghai Yaren who stepped forward, and could feel that the depths of his pupils seemed to be flashing with anxious feelings.

"Jiang Yuan, I'm already very good to you, do you want to be like that bad boy in Zichuan and snatch important people from me?"

As if realizing that it might not be the opponent of the boy in front of him, Masato Shizumi's voice sounded a little bitter, and it sounded as if he was about to cry.

Jiang Yuanshen looked at Azusa Chuan Xiaokong who was squatting on the ground and holding his head from a distance, he was the "that person" in Jinghai Shenyue's mouth.

He then whispered to Masato Jinghai:

"Can you come along?"

Perhaps it was Jiang Yuanshen's excessively gentle tone that made Jinghai Masato show an extremely surprised expression, and the two met their eyes in the ultramarine evening.

"I graduated from Waseda, but I still come back here to look for the oak, and I don't know where I lost compared to some people."

His tone was very lonely, as if to say, "I'm no worse than others."

"Maybe the person you like doesn't happen to be you." Jiang Yuan glanced at him cautiously, turned around and followed Jinghai Shenyue.

Jinghai Yaren stared straight at the two of them gradually dissolving into the space, her lips closed one by one, and she was speechless after all.

He obviously lives with the two queens, but the three of them seem to live in different houses, and even the scenery they see is not the same.

◇

In the street canals, there are slowly rippling turbid currents, and the crows that occasionally pass in the air are chirping above the heads of the two of them.

"Jinghai-san, I went to the shrine, does it have anything to do with the disappearance of the queen at night?"

The headlights of the car are like stars that have been taken off, and like a young child, winking at the incoming car.

The eyes of the deep moon in the still sea sparkled in the light of the headlights, and the white moon appeared dimly in the sky.

The surface of Lake Kamo is breathtakingly beautiful.

"Jiang Yuan, my mother is actually dead."

Jinghai Shenyue's expression was cold, but there were still a few childish soft outlines on his face.

Her words and tone were too indifferent, not at all like the posture that she should have when she said this, it was obvious that a big living person had disappeared, but it could be said that it was painless.

Jiang Yuanshen almost slowed down to understand the meaning of this sentence, but he still asked suspiciously.

"What is death to you?"

"The soul is gone."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help frowning cautiously:

"Soul? You say your mother has no soul? But the flesh is still there? ”

Jinghai Shenyue's face finally appeared uneasy, and she looked at Jiang Yuanshen's face with a solemn expression and said:

"My mother died on the day of the earthquake, and the person who was with me was not my mother."

“.”

I don't understand, I can't understand it even more.

Jiang Yuanshen's thoughts were like a crumpled ball of waste paper, no matter how open and stretched, it could never become smooth.

"You should have heard that when you went to the shrine today, once you become the queen, you will be the carrier of the chick doll god"

- "The queen is no longer herself, but the 'human god' of the gods."

Igarashi's words of stealing paper are like a shell buried in the dirt, revealing its true form as the waves overturn.

The suffocating silence came, and the murmuring of the water in the canal sounded inexplicably lonely at the moment.

Jiang Yuanshen tightened his face and said:

"Your mother survived because the soul in that body was a chick god?"

He couldn't help but look at the deep moon in the quiet sea, her gaze was so straightforward, and the long hair fluttering in the wind was like a gossamer in the night.

"You understand very quickly-" Jinghai Shenyue nodded, her breathing seemed to slow down by half a beat, "My mother is gone, it's just an empty shell that has been robbed of her soul, and she is pretending to be gentle these days, playing the role of my mother. ”

Jiang Yuanshen's heart was beating wildly in an extremely uneasy way, and he felt that the air was like molten glass, viscous.

- Is it a god?

But why? Why is it only now that the night is gone? And why don't you let the deep moon of the quiet sea come out of the island?

For the gods, leaving a queen, the islanders will elect one, why cling to her?

Jiang Yuanshen suddenly felt a sign of caressing the soles of his shoes, and shivered slowly climbed up from under his feet, and he realized that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

The chirping of the surrounding insects had stopped, and only the dry noise of the tires echoed inappropriately in the strange silence.

"She's probably at Chitori Shrine right now." Jinghai Shenyue said suddenly.

"Why do you think so?" Jiang Yuanshen looked at her.

"Because she doesn't have to pretend to be my mother anymore."

Jinghai Shenyue's obsidian-like eyes stared straight at him, and from the black hair draped over her shoulders, she could see that her delicate snow-white neck had slightly swollen red marks, which had been bitten by insects.

"Why is it not necessary?" Jiang Yuanshen still couldn't understand.

Jinghai Shenyue's voice became deeper and lower: "Jiang Yuan, the development of the situation is a little out of control, do you want to leave?" ”

Jiang Yuanshen was stunned, he didn't expect her to say these words.

"I just went to Chitori Shrine today and met with Mr. Igarashi, and I didn't do anything superfluous." He reiterated in as calm a tone as he could.

Jinghai Shenyue was still silent, and then, her voice was heard, which was like a bubble suddenly floating from the bottom of the sea.

"I think Jiang Yuan, it's good for you to leave now."

"Me?"

"Because there is no point anymore, I have made plans to stay, and I will choose to try the money you recommended, but you still have a chance, and now she will be very happy to go to Tokyo to reunite with Kurosawa."

- It turns out that Jinghai Shenyue is worried about herself? Are you sure?

But if she thinks about it carefully, if she was really worried about herself, she would have said it before, and she would not wait until now, the truth of this statement is untenable.

There is only one possibility, if you don't listen to her now, I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave the island again.

After comprehending this for a short time, Jiang Yuanshen's fingers pinched into the flesh, and subconsciously tied a dead knot between his eyebrows:

"If I go to the shrine with you now, can I still leave Chitori Island?"

Jinghai Shenyue quietly lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on the weeds swaying in the wind on the side of the street.

At the right time, the street lamps that were already shrouded in the night around were lit up one by one, like nodes in the starry sky.

"I'm just guessing, not absolutely." Her shadow stretched straight out from under the street lamp, capturing Jiang Yuanshen's figure.

"What?"

Jinghai Shenyue looked at him, her expression was a little bitter, what does this mean?

"On Zhitori Island, there may already be your Hina puppet."

“.”

Jiang Yuanshen looked at Jinghai Shenyue with a stunned expression for a moment, her long hair like night was scattered on her chest, and her white dress and bow tie were submerged in the black hair.

"Wait, what do you mean by my chick doll?"

He couldn't understand the words.

Jinghai Shenyue raised her hand thoughtfully, rubbed her chin and said:

"Literally, the Hina Doll made by Chitori Island especially for you has been born, and it is today."

The lukewarm wind blew between the two, and her words made Jiang Yuanshen's body stiffen.

What she said made Jiang Yuanshen resist even imagination, and fell into a feeling as if reality had been distorted.

"But why. Will you go to make my chick doll? Jiang Yuanshen had a wry smile on his face, but his voice was trembling,

Jinghai Shenyue hugged her arms with one hand, turned her face away slightly, and her voice was slightly low:

"I don't know. But my soul is connected to Chitorijima, and I can feel the abrupt presence of another chick. ”

"It doesn't have to be me, does it?" In the depths of Jiang Yuanshen's heart, he suddenly began to boil little by little, "And who is it?"

His words came to an abrupt end, and Igarashi's paper-stealing smile couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

Don't

"So I let you go, and before I'm sure, I'm going to destroy your chick alone."

Her little face was very solemn, not a joke at all.

Jiang Yuan couldn't move, and Zhitori Island actually created his chick puppet.

In other words, he can have the same ability as Jinghai Shenyue and the previous queen

But if you get the ability, that is.

Yourself, can't you go out of the island in the future? Like the deep moon in the quiet sea?

"It's better to leave now, there is still a chance."

It was the voice of Jinghai Shenyue, which made Jiang Yuanshen quickly regain consciousness in surprise, and he hurriedly shook his head.

For a moment, Jiang Yuanshen felt severely dizzy, and his entire body seemed to be made of heavy clay.

Even if you tried to make a sound, it was just a little air that passed through your throat in vain.

"Are you alright?" Shizumi Shenyue asked worriedly.

"Let's go together."

"You're not leaving?" Jinghai Shenyue looked at him with some surprise.

Jiang Yuan carefully rubbed his temples, and the corners of his mouth barely squeezed out a smile and said:

"Do you have the key to the main shrine? I'm going to tear down all the Hina-figurines in front of them. ”

However, Jinghai Shenyue was not infected by his "bold words", but showed a more sad look on his small face.

"Jiang Yuan, have you thought about the consequences?"

She sighed deeply, more than confused, the helpless sigh that kept piling up in the depths of her body.

Jiang Yuanshen hesitated a little, but he was always captured by a dark emotion of "not knowing the true face of Lushan", and pretended to say casually:

"Before it happens, I don't think about the consequences."

Jinghai Shenyue knew that he was prevaricating, but in the end she didn't say much, because she knew that it was useless to say more.

"If something happens, I'll take you back to yesterday."

The light of the street lamp shone on the delicate snow-white fingers of the deep moon in the still sea, and the pink nails were neatly trimmed.

Jiang Yuanshen grinned: "If you can, don't use it." ”

"Of course there's no way to do that," his words caused Jinghai Shenyue to sigh dumbfoundedly.

"But I'm so good, I even have a hina doll."

"Men also have chick dolls, but because the theme of the Daughter's Day is a chick girl, everyone thinks it should be a woman."

"Maybe the young girl is more attractive."

"Will it?"

"Well, I can feel an aura."

"Really."

After Jiang Yuanshen said this, Jinghai Shenyue just tilted her head slightly in confusion, she never felt the charm between herself and the young girl.
