Chapter 35 The City of Fireworks (Part 2)

Harumei frowned slightly, as if thinking about who I am. I looked at Xiang Kagura and said, "By the way, I just saw something very beautiful. I think it is very suitable for you. Now I will give it to you."

As I said that, I took out the goldfish wood carving.

"you--"

Genboya reached out and wanted to grab it, but I hung it on Kagura's neck faster.

I withdrew my hand and Kagura looked down at the goldfish woodcarving, a little confused.

"This is a very rare goldfish, so you must protect it. This time, don't lose it again."

This time, don't lose it again, Brother Boya.

"She is right. You should keep precious things in your heart and protect them well." The fortune teller who was walking with Qingming said with a smile.

Yuan Boya's eyes stayed on me for a long time. Seeing that I didn't look at him, he lowered his head to look at the goldfish wood carving.

Harui's eyes were stuck on my face for a while before asking, "Who are you a lady in Kyoto?"

"Did Lord Qingming forget it? You just met my mother." I said, and then looked at Xiaobai beside Qingming, "Compared to this... I like this little fox very much. Can I let me play with it for a while?"

Qingming looked at Xiaobai, and Xiaobai jumped up: "Since someone knows that Xiaobai is a fox! Lord Qingming, Xiaobai just needs to accompany this adult around!"

Qingming hesitated for a moment, and the fortune teller said, "Mr. Qingming, I'll be with this adult too."

Staying away from the three of Seimei and the others, the fortune teller smiled and said, "You should be the Zi Ji of Genji, I am the Eight Hundred Bhikkhun."

"Speaking of this, if Lord Qingming could remember something, he might agree with your statement. So, what's the matter with me?"

The Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni looked at me and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that you look like an old friend I know. But it's strange that that old friend is not a Genji."

My heart was beating, how could so many people look like each other?

"May I ask, what is your old friend's name?" I stopped and asked.

"Oh, my old friend Xixia has been dead for many years. If she saw you, she might be very happy." The Eight hundred bhikkhuni looked at the lights in front of her, "I had rowed out to sea with her and met some cute little monsters. If they saw you, they would be as surprised as me."

"That's a pity. I'll leave Kyoto soon." I raised my voice slightly and said, "I'll come to Kyoto again if I have time in the future."

The eight hundred bhikkhun's eyes fluttered, and they settled on my face again. Without saying much, they said goodbye to me and left.

Xiaobai followed me without saying anything. After seeing the eight hundred bhikkhuni leave, he suddenly turned into a human form and stood in front of me. His eyes were filled with water vapor, his claws were placed on my shoulders, and his tail kept shaking for two days.

"Sniff... Xiaobai will never admit his mistake. You are A Zi, the little girl at the beginning!" Xiaobai said in a nasal voice.

"...If you know, let go of me." I reached out to take Xiaobai's paws away, "You'd better not tell Qingming about this. However, he doesn't seem to remember me."

Xiaobai lowered his ears: "After you left that day, a lot of things happened. When I saw Lord Qingming again, he had lost his previous memory. I originally wanted to go find you, but you didn't tell us where you were. I always wanted to find you, but later I found a guy who looked very similar to you."

"That guy is my brother, you didn't treat him as me." I rubbed Xiaobai's head hard, "Actually, I have been a maid in Yuan Boya's mansion."

"Hey?! That's why you know Lord Boya and the others?" Xiaobai asked with wide eyes, "But... But Lord Boya said you were missing?"

I stopped under a tree and looked up at the sky among the leaves: "A lot happened in the middle, in short, I met Boya and Kagura."

"What's going on?" Xiaobai turned into a human form with a "pop" and asked anxiously, "Why do you still know Lord Kagura?"

I didn't answer him anymore. Xiaobai felt a little uncomfortable when I saw him, and his ears trembled: "What, what's wrong?"

"nothing."

"...So that's how it is." Xiaobai said hesitantly, with a little caution.

"Well... I'll leave Kyoto soon, come and say hello to you." I turned around and looked at Xiaobai and said.

"Leave? Where are you going? Where are you living now? If you don't have a place to live, you can live with us." Xiaobai opened his eyes wide and looked at me, eager to get an answer from me.

Xiaobai's ears trembled slightly with his questions, and I couldn't help but rub his head again: "Xiaobai, do you think I am happier now, or am happier at that time?"

"It looks like you're happier now." Xiaobai blinked and said, "So you aren't planning to be with us anymore?"

"Um."

Xiaobai didn't ask any more, but suddenly his claws were placed on my shoulders again, and his ears rubbed my neck a little itchy.

"Xiaobai will wait for you to come back." He seemed worried, "Of course! There is also Lord Qingming!"

I reached out and hugged him: "When I come back, I will explain all this clearly."

"Wow..." Xiaobai suddenly shouted, "I forgot... you are already... a girl!"

Xiaobai said, then took a few steps back, with a little more blush on his face, and it was a little weird under the dim shadow of the tree.

"That...that, I'll leave first! There will be a period of time later!" Xiaobai ran away in panic.

After walking a few steps, he quietly turned around. I smiled at him, hoping that he could bring the news to Qingming.

Speaking of which, Xiaobai's hair is as soft as Master Tamamomae's tail...

"I'm still giggling when I'm leaving." My brother's voice appeared beside me at the right time.

I turned to look at my brother: "I didn't touch it a few more times just now, and I feel a little regretful. Oh, by the way, Xiaobai's tail... I will definitely not let him turn into a human form when I come back next time!"

“…”

"But...will you feel no guilt when you send me to that kind of place?"

"You have been wiped out by you now." The brother said expressionlessly.

"Then-catching it!"

I screamed and rushed directly into my brother's direction. I only opened my eyes after feeling the warm embrace. This was the first time in two years that I have been so close to my brother.

Under the light, you can see the blue blood vessels under the transparent skin, and the scars that cross the entire face also appear softer.

"Stand up after seeing enough," the brother said coldly, "I haven't seen enough and go back to look in the mirror."

"Brother really doesn't understand the fun of looking at his own face or looking at other people's faces, especially when the two look very similar."

"How boring is that kind of fun to come up with?"

I pushed him away, a little angry: "Yes, yes, yes, you just think it's interesting to go out and deal with monsters every day."

"…Fujiwara Dotun is not far away. You can see him by walking straight. I'll go back first."

"Yeah." I didn't look back.

But I still feel reluctant to leave...

"Brother--" I turned around after walking a few steps.

But I didn't expect that he was still in the same place. But his deliberately avoided eyes seemed to be telling me that he was discovered by me...

"...Is there anything else?" He was a little helpless.

I don't know how long it will take to go to Akabara this time. After all, he arranged it for me, so I don't want to refuse. Just like two years ago, he arranged for me to go to Tamamomae. He didn't say it, and I didn't ask. If one day he was willing to tell me, I would listen.

When my brother came to Fengmozhiyuan to see me for the first time, he brought a few hibiscus flowers. I put them all in the book and made them into specimens. When I sent my brother away, I gave him one or two flowers.

I don't know if he lost it or gave it to someone else.

None of this matters anymore.

If there are any changes in Kyoto, Genji or Harumaki will be involved. The so-called fate is not unreasonable. If I just send me to another place and can escape my fate, why should I return to this world?

If you want to escape, the Sagima is the best place to go. My brother doesn't understand this. He feels that as long as I am not in Kyoto, I can spend those days that seem calm but are actually undercurrents.

"Sure enough, I still like my brother the most."

After saying this, I felt relieved. So I turned around and the last fireworks of the temple fair lit up behind me. In the long darkness, I kept walking forward.

"It's been a long time since I was gone, Zi Ji."

"I've been missing for a long time, Lord." I bowed to him according to my politeness.

Yuan Laiguang was wearing a bathrobe. I thought it was just aroused, and I met me occasionally. However, whether this happened to me was arranged by my brother, it needs to be considered.

"I haven't seen each other for a few years, my personality has become docile." Yuan Lai Guang looked at me and said.

I walked up to him and said with a smile: "I am not as good as you in terms of hypocrisy. You should just talk about it directly and see me for the purpose of coming to see me."

As long as it is valuable and can be used for maximum use, this is Yuan Lai Guang. I believe that when he abandoned Guijie, he weighed the value that Guijie would bring; when he abandoned me, he weighed the losses that would bring to save me.

Although I had known for a long time that he might abandon me, I stood on the altar and looked at him without any disturbances, and I knew that I had been abandoned. It would be impossible for him to come this time without a purpose.

"Xingyuan has a legend of a big monster, I wonder if you have heard of it."

"Big monster?" I raised my eyes slightly, "I haven't heard of it. I think the big monster that can be remembered by Genji is also quite powerful. However, I am not interested in knowing what Genji is going to do, so I will naturally not investigate."

Yuan Lai Guang turned around and said, "So I'm here to discuss the deal with you."

"Trading? Trading requires trust from both parties. I dare not expect any more of the previous transactions." I still smiled.

"Zi Ji, I know what you want."

“… Then why do you know I will make this deal?”

"Isn't this the best proof for the news about Guiqi?" Yuan Lai Guang's mouth slightly raised, "If there is any news about him, I don't think you should be here now."

“…”

"Zi Ji, you feel guilty about Gui Qi, it doesn't mean I have it. What do you think of this deal?"

The one who knows me best is not myself or my brother, but the man in front of me who always controls everything. I asked my brother about Guiqi, but only once.

With just one question and understanding of my past, I can accurately know what I really want.

"For you, it is very easy for you to investigate that big monster when you live in Akabara. But I must know more about Guiqi than you."

Every time I meet Yuan Lai Guang, I will compete, and this time I lose.

"So, what is the name of the big monster?"

"People call her unfire."
