No matter which country the ghost-slaying family exists in, their duty is to slay ghosts and maintain balance.
In this world, the most powerful ghost-slaying force is undoubtedly the country of China. There is no doubt that it is the ancient civilization with the longest history in the world today.
Only the old ghost-slaying families can participate in this exchange meeting, but the down-and-out families are an exception. Even if they were once powerful, they will no longer be eligible to be invited.
This exchange meeting is held every three years. The last time the Himeno family came here, it was Himeno Suzu's two sisters, but no one from the Fujino family came.
This time Fujino Miyuki was not invited, she just accompanied Himeno Suzu. However, as the head of the aristocratic family, she will also be treated with courtesy.
After a general understanding, Chu Xiaotian asked: "Will the head of the Akaza family come?"
The head of the Akaza family in Saitama Prefecture is also from a down-and-out demon-slayer family, but his power is completely different from other demon-slayers.
Fujino Miyuki and Hime Suzu looked at each other, then shook their heads at the young man.
"Brother Minghuo probably wasn't invited."
After all, they are a down-and-out ghost-slayer family. The number of ghost-slayers in the Akaza family can probably be counted on two hands.
Fujino Miyuki said: "But Brother Minghuo attended the exchange meeting last time."
Chu Xiaotian was startled and asked, "Are you invited?"
Fujino Mixue shook his head and explained: "No, I seem to be curious and came here to take a look."
It's so casual.
At this time, there was movement upstairs, and Chu Xiaotian also stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."
After a simple wash, I met Chiba.
"Where's Yoko?"
"I already have a headache and go to bed."
Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm really bad at drinking."
"yes."
Even though Chiba had never drank alcohol, she didn't think she would be down after just two glasses.
Chu Xiaotian asked: "Don't you live in the same room as Yangzi?"
Qianye shook his head and said: "Her breath smells like alcohol now. I feel like I won't be able to sleep. And looking at her like this, she will definitely be in a bad state of sleep!"
"That makes sense."
Chiba sighed: "I guess she will definitely go to the toilet in the middle of the night. I hope she can find her way back to the room."
"Not that much."
Chu Xiaotian blinked his eyes, feeling a little unsure.
Chiba went back to his room to rest.
At this time, Qingshan Ruyue ran over, still holding the chess in her hand. She asked with a smile: "Senior! Do you want to come and play chess?"
Chu Xiaotian asked: "Aren't you sleepy?"
"This place is too big, I'm not used to it, so I don't feel sleepy..." Qingshan Ruyue looked at the big house shyly.
It seems that he doesn't adapt well to the environment.
Chu Xiaotian went to Qingshan Ruyue's room, and the two played chess. In terms of chess skills, the boy was better, but his successive defeats made Qingshan Ruyue doubt himself.
"Senior is so awesome..."
Chess is also one of Aoyama Kisaragi's hobbies. As a student and amateur chess player, she is quite good, at least she has never lost in school.
But when facing Chu Xiaotian, he was crushed and defeated.
But this is normal. After all, the two people have different expectations for the situation. Every move of Qingshan Ruyue is under Chu Xiaotian's control.
It's almost midnight.
Chu Xiaotian said: "Okay, let's go down here."
"Thank you, senior, for your advice!"
Qingshan Ruyue still has a certain talent in playing chess, and coupled with Chu Xiaotian's guidance, just more than an hour is enough for her to improve.
Return to the room.
The room where Chu Xiaotian slept was very large.
No, it should be said that all the rooms in this villa are very large, so large that Chiba and the others may not be used to sleeping there.
In addition to a large bed, half of the walls of his room were replaced by glass, allowing him to see the starry sky and distant mountain peaks.
The scenery is very good.
Chu Xiaotian didn't close the curtains and lay down on the bed to sleep.
But in the early morning, Chu Xiaotian woke up.
There is only one reason. Someone is pressing on him. After all, he is in a foreign country. Even if he is too wary, he is more sensitive than in a familiar place.
Chu Xiaotian glanced at the girl leaning on his chest. It turned out to be Yoko, who was still giggling in her sleep.
Two drinks and you’re like this? Can you still walk into the wrong room?
Chu Xiaotian gently pushed Yangzi away. He sat up and sighed. He glanced at the girl's sleepy eyes. His expression was a little complicated.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Xiaotian lay down on his side, and he reached out his hand to tease the girl's hair.
"Really, this is already the second time."
He didn't even have the slightest warning about the auras of Yoko and Chiba, and he was really hopeless.
The young man looked at the girl with a gentle expression, but there was also some helplessness in his eyes. He said softly: "Aren't you afraid that I will do something? You idiot."
When his identity was revealed, he thought he was done with them.
But in the end, it was reversed. Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, does he still have some weight in their hearts now?
He had gradually discovered the girl's feelings before, but he was unable to face it because of his identity.
Now...
Chu Xiaotian touched the girl's head and said helplessly: "You all know that I am not him anymore, so don't do something that can easily misunderstand me."
Sometimes a girl's small and inadvertent actions can easily make his heart flutter, but he just doesn't show it.
It doesn’t matter when the sun is smiling, or when it is naughty and cute.
Chu Xiaotian still couldn't be sure that all those good things were revealed to him.
Although it was said at the time that it was a new understanding, was it really possible?
Occasionally, there is an idea that maybe he is more likely to be regarded as a substitute.
With the same memory, the same face, the same voice, the same emotion.
If this is a substitute, it may be enough to replace the real thing.
He is indeed a little distressed sometimes, but now he is lucky enough that we can still talk to each other and travel together, which is already very good.
In his memory as a monk, there was a spell in that world that could separate souls, but he didn't know how to do it.
Precisely because he didn't know, he felt a little lucky.
It would be really bad if he could.
After all, if he separates the two memories, where should he go?
That's fine now.
Chu Xiaotian got up from the bed and let Yangzi rest in this room, while he slipped into the latter's room.
When he woke up the next day, he was discovered by Qianye. Chu Xiaotian didn't explain anything and took Qianye to his room. When he saw the girl still sleeping on the bed, nothing needed to be explained.
