"Reporting to Senior Brother Ozou, we haven't been able to find Miss Hoshino yet."
"I understand, you can move directly to guard the passage to and from Daze Mountain."
"yes!"
Ozang Taku hung up the phone, pondered for a moment, and continued to sit down anywhere on the edge of Osawa Mountain.
He had personally explored the mountain before, but was unable to determine the location of the Pure Domain.
Because the spirituality in Daze Mountain was too treacherous, he withdrew again when it was getting dark.
The only thing he knows clearly is that there will definitely be changes in Daze Mountain in the near future.
"Ms. Hoshino, what do you know?"
He murmured to himself, always feeling the compassion condensed in Daze Mountain, so that the sword in his arms trembled.
At this moment, he still didn't know what he should cut as a swordsman.
But Ye Yingzhe, who went to the dojo to seek treatment, was not a weakling. When the target appeared, it was still unknown whether he could cut it off.
Dusk gradually enveloped the mountains, wilderness, and the wind blowing down the mountains suddenly became much colder. There was no life in Daze Mountain, and no birds could be heard chirping and insects, giving people the terrifying pressure of death.
Just standing here, Ozang Taku felt this majestic "power", which was extremely precious nutrients for his sword.
He knew very well that Shantong Sword Master wanted him to come out to see the world.
Daze Mountain is the world where you can break away from your shackles!
"Tick-tock——"
Fine white raindrops fell from the sky, and then gradually connected into one piece, soaking into the grass blades and soil.
…
"It's raining!" Hoshino Fujiko suddenly became excited.
At this time, the four of them had just finished taking a bath and were sitting in the lobby of the hotel enjoying the cool air.
Hoshino ran to the door of the store and looked at the night - the falling raindrops would only show up next to the light, and eventually wet the cement floor, leaving dark traces.
It's raining!
Hoshino wanted to cheer, but the last voice only stayed in his heart.
She turned to look at Qing Keisuke, the meaning was self-evident.
Qing Keisuke nodded slightly, and heard Tsukishima interrupt: "Oh, why is it raining again!
Didn’t the organizer of the music festival just issue an announcement saying that they had put up a rain shelter urgently?”
She was worried about the music festival tomorrow night, worried that she would have to wear a raincoat to watch the concert, which would be very annoying.
As a result, this complaining tone attracted Miss Hoshino's cold gaze, leaving her confused.
Is it because Hoshino Fujiko likes rainy days?
The mature female teacher quickly came to a reasonable conclusion and changed the topic rationally: "By the way, do you want to have supper tonight?"
"this……"
Shiraishi's eyes rolled. She actually wanted to go out with Qing Keisuke to find Weizi, so she said: "Oh, I have almost gained weight from eating these days, and I am planning to control my diet!"
This is really a complete lie. It is obvious that this person who is trying to lose weight just ate matcha cake this afternoon.
Tsukishima rolled his eyes when he heard this and said "ha" mockingly.
"Don't eat and get sick, go to bed early and recharge your batteries."
It's rainy and gloomy in Yuzawa, which is annoying.
She stood up and prepared to go back to the room. When Shiraishi saw this, he quietly stuck out his tongue and signaled with his eyes that Qing Keisuke would wait for her to come back.
She also stood up and stuck to Tsukishima like a dog-skin plaster, teasing her best friend with a sweet voice.
"You're not angry anymore, are you, dear?"
"Why are you angry? Stop hanging around my neck and beating you! Oops!"
"You're so soft~ You sinful guy!"
"So annoying!"
There was a charming movement between the two people, which made people blush and heartbeat.
Hoshino watched Aoi Keisuke silently, like a proud and lonely cat, with his head held high and his eyes bright and stern, quietly waiting to be fed.
"Let's go and find Weizi." Qing Keisuke smiled.
"Why don't you wait for Miss Shiraishi?" Hoshino asked.
"is not……"
Qing Keisuke paused for a moment, and then said meaningfully: "Something worth being happy about."
Hoshino pursed her lips, and a bone-chilling coldness penetrated her heart.
Because she heard—
This declaration was so calm, and it revealed the cold truth.
Qing Keisuke had no intention of bringing Shiraishi with him to let her feel the sourness.
Moreover, after zero o'clock, the pure area of Daze Mountain will be opened. In view of the danger inside, he currently does not have the ability to protect so many people.
In the realm involving gods, mortals are simply too weak.
Even if you want Shiraishi to understand the mysterious side of the world, you should do it step by step.
As for Hoshino?
After all, she is the president of the company, so Aoi Keisuke should put in some effort to protect her - to put it nicely, this is it.
In fact, Aoi Keisuke is looking forward to his own Hoshino play.
She set up a stage, applied makeup and powder on herself, and walked up to the stage in gorgeous clothes. How could anyone resist pushing her?
"Let's go, President."
"……Um."
Hoshino lowered his head and gently pulled the hair beside his face.
They borrowed umbrellas from the front desk and wandered into the cool rainy night, heading towards the darkness.
Hoshino stared at the ground and saw her legs swinging back and forth regularly. Other than that, she could no longer concentrate.
The pair of shoes under my feet are obviously a pair that I like very much. Why do I look so disgusted now?
Is it because it is like a clock, reminding her little by little that there is not much time left?
The sounds of people and rain around her gradually became distorted and sharp, pouring into her eardrums, causing even greater pain.
The rain seemed to have swallowed her up, leaving her unable to breathe.
"President...President!"
She didn't know where she was going, and she woke up suddenly when Qing Keisuke grabbed her right hand and dodged the speeding car.
"ah!"
The umbrella fell, was run over by a wheel, and cold rain fell on Hoshino's face.
Hoshino subconsciously raised his head and let the rain soak his face.
Qing Keisuke stared at her expression at this time. The poignant picture of the ice flower about to break made him feel as if he had entered the world of "Snow Country", turning haziness into tangible beauty.
"President." Qing Keisuke's voice softened and he covered her with his umbrella: "What's wrong with you?"
"Wei Zi...will die?"
"Did you guess it because of my words? Or because of the spiritual reminder?"
Qing Keisuke let go of Hoshino's hand, leaned close to her, and wiped the rain from her eyes.
The car that almost hit Hoshino came to a sudden stop, completely crushing her umbrella. The dazzling red taillights illuminated Aoi Keisuke's back and side face.
“Idiot, you don’t understand—!”
The Lord Demon King didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and he suddenly clenched the rain in his hand, and then there was a majestic spiritual surge, turning the rain lines into cold and hard, pulling the car forward.
In the blink of an eye, the car lost control and continued to speed away. The owner's scoldings immediately turned into screams. After a long time, a loud collision was heard in the distance.
"It's really noisy." Qing Keisuke laughed and said, "Let's go on, President."
"Save her, Aoi Keisuke." Hoshino begged him helplessly.
"I?"
Qing Keisuke paused, stood still, and asked with interest: "Weeping son, I just want to go home. Does the president want to kill even this wish?"
"Yes! Even so, please save her!"
Qing Keisuke answered her gently: "But, President, I refuse."
In the midsummer of July, on a rainy night in Yuzawa, Aoi Keisuke seemed to hear the sound of breaking snowflakes.
