The long time spent in the pure realm turned into smoke and smoke after returning to reality.
The biggest difference is that the rain has stopped and the clouds have exhausted all their savings, revealing a corner of the moon.
The edges of the close clouds were also stained with a touch of moonlight.
The clear light falls on the earth, blends with the mountain breeze, and soothes the pain that this mountain has suffered.
Qing Keisuke walked alone there, looking for the power left behind by Weiko's white umbrella from the invisible chaos.
At that time, both he and Yamamori Masako deliberately avoided venting their power away from Hoshino and other survivors, so any aftermath could not invade the defensive techniques he had set up in advance.
No matter what happens, there are still white umbrellas providing protection, so there is no need to worry about Hoshino's safety.
Finally, he saw the girl holding an umbrella on the observation deck halfway up Daze Mountain.
At that time, he was walking around a corner and looked across the dense forest to the road covered with reflective paint.
Along the road, I happened to see the scene on the other side.
The girl held a large umbrella that glowed slightly with white light, standing alone on a bench at the edge of the observation deck, with her back to Aoi Keisuke, overlooking the brightly lit Yuzawa in the distance.
This picture looks lonely and beautiful.
It reminds me of poems about fallen leaves.
But at her feet, there was still a group of twisted people lying around, like chickens protected by a hen, which made Qing Keisuke smile again.
Hoshino Fujiko suddenly turned around and looked at Aoi Keisuke.
"Hey, President."
Qing Keisuke's embarrassed and weak voice made Hoshino subconsciously stop his bitter sarcasm.
"What happened?" She got down from the chair and put away her umbrella, her tone as calm as ever.
"Ahem..."
Aoi Keisuke walked over, looked her over, and after confirming that Hoshino Fujiko was not injured in the accident, he smiled easily.
"We have an unexpected guest." He said generally.
He had already subconsciously answered Hoshino's question.
Hoshino suddenly fell silent.
Keisuke Aoi's calm and strong mentality makes people's hearts sway.
"Did you win?" she asked.
"Well..." Qing Keisuke sighed, "I guess I lost and my life was spared, right?"
Seeing that Aoi Keisuke didn't confess to her, Hoshino Fujiko pursed her lips and simply stopped worrying about the detailed process.
"What are we going to do with these unconscious people?"
"Send them back to Hetang."
"that's all?"
"Just let the official people handle it."
Hoshino nodded after hearing this - after all, Ozawa Sonoko was also in this group of people.
Although this middle-aged woman no longer has anything to do with the person she met in the dream, she still wants to ensure the safety of Ozawa Sonoko.
"Oh, I just happened to stop by Heyu Hot Spring to soak in the hot springs. This trip is really tiring."
Qing Keisuke hammered his back and walked forward.
The few remaining spirits lifted up the survivors' bodies and took the lead in following the guidance of the past, sending them back to the place before they were hidden by the gods.
Soon, only Aoi Keisuke and Hoshino were left walking on the dark road.
Hoshino Fujiko hesitated for a while, then opened the white umbrella again, illuminating the path forward for the two of them with a weak white light.
The shadows of the two people were reflected on the asphalt road, extending diagonally to the drainage ditch.
It was very quiet all the way.
Hoshino's face was hidden under the umbrella, and he pursed his lips quietly. For some reason, he felt that he was actually enjoying this moment of respite from the disaster.
"You look like you are stumbling when you walk. Are you pretending to be weak on purpose?"
"Oh, did the president see it?"
"...help me."
"Huh?"
Qing Keisuke turned around to see Hoshino's current expression, but was immediately pushed back by the tilted umbrella.
"Withdraw the preface!"
"President, this is the only thing I don't hear clearly what you are saying."
"..."
So the distant journey returned to calm, only Hoshino's heart was churning, wondering if he was still suffering from the influence of dreams, so much so that he subconsciously mistook the weak Aoi Keisuke next to him for Ozawa Sonoko.
When he finally arrived at Tsuruyu, Aoi Keisuke had exhausted all his energy. His body after experiencing spiritual enlightenment had already exceeded the load. He was able to hold on and walk back from the observation deck because of his own strong will.
"We're here, President." He breathed heavily.
It was quiet in the crane soup, but it had resumed operation strangely. There were bright lights everywhere, and there was no trace of the previous curse or spiritual influence.
"Um...you prepared these?"
"No." Qing Keisuke shook his head and denied.
Hoshino paused just as he was about to step into the crane soup, and then his eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Are you talking nonsense again?"
"President, you have already misunderstood me too deeply."
Qing Keisuke tried his best to smile at her, and then called out the girl who was hiding in the back hall.
"Hanako, why are you here?"
"Lord Qinggui~!"
Hanako No. 7274, who had taken off her sailor uniform and had already put on a Tsuruyu yukata, suddenly flew out from behind the door, and then stabbed Aoi Keisuke in the chest.
"I'm telling you! I'm telling you! The eldest sister is so scary. She picked off my scalp and threw me over here in Yuzawa!
I didn’t expect that I came to see you~ I’m so happy~”
Qing Keisuke staggered when she hit him, and he almost couldn't get up.
"Even if you say so, I won't enlarge your breasts."
"I hate it~ How can you say such indifferent words?"
When Aoi Keisuke silently clenched his fists, Hanako No. 7274 immediately "swooshed" and flew to a place three meters away from him, kneeling down obediently.
"President, can you see her?"
"Okay." Hoshino frowned slightly, let go of Qing Keisuke's hand, and examined the strange thing that suddenly appeared.
She felt vaguely familiar with Hanako No. 7274, and seemed to have heard her voice before, but when she thought about it carefully, she had no impression at all.
"Then let her take you to rest first."
"Her?" Hoshino looked at Qing Keisuke, doubting his own safety.
"Just think of her as an innocent and harmless hamster."
Hanako No. 7274 originally wanted to refute loudly, but when she saw that Aoi Keisuke's fist had not yet been released, she remained silent.
--The wise does not buy rumours.
——And, Qinggui-sama, this carefree idiot, turned into a beautiful girl in her bloom so quickly! She must complain to the miko-sama after she goes back!
Hoshino hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
"good."
Hanako No. 7274 accidentally dispelled her worries with just a few gentle words.
Hanako No. 7274 felt that Hoshino’s eyes seemed to offend her a little!
"Come with me! You sneaky cat!"
"I am Qing Keisuke's leader."
"Nani?!" Hanako was startled and said subconsciously: "Sexual harassment in the workplace?"
Hoshino: "..."
She just wanted to scare this fool!
When following Hanako to the entrance of the corridor, Hoshino turned around, glanced at Aoi Keisuke, and then lowered his head.
After hesitating for a while, she whispered to the Demon King: "Thank you, Qing Keisuke."
She was referring to Qing Keisuke's willingness to accompany her on this dangerous journey.
Qing Keisuke laughed happily: "Thank you too, President."
He was referring to the fact that Hoshino took the initiative to help him come back.
Hanako yelled at the side: "What about me? Where about me?"
She was referring to the fact that she came all the way from Tokyo!
