He repeated this sentence again. The smile on Mirage's face froze slightly, and he lowered his eyes and murmured:
"Yes, what should we do?"
The smile on his lips suddenly took on a hint of bitterness.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
He remembered that when he first saw the mirage, the mirage used illusion magic to transform into a stunningly beautiful woman lying on the ground and touching him.
At that time, the little guy was still a cub, and relying on his unique illusion skills, he was also bold and careful, and he was one of the most promiscuous.
Although the two monsters later met by chance and went their separate ways, Qiao Xi still felt that he was an interesting enough monster in her heart.
——He has always liked interesting people or monsters.
I just didn't expect that when we meet again after a hundred years, it will be like this.
The strange but innocent aura on the mirage that once amused me has been completely stained with blood.
So--
What is he going to do?
"Lord Fengyue God, do you know?
The moment I saw you, I thought, this is probably the end of it."
When Qiao Xi was still feeling a little uncomfortable, Mirage suddenly said this with a smile.
"What……"
Qiao Xi replied subconsciously, and then fell silent again when she realized the content of his words.
Seeing him like this, Mirage felt very calm.
"Now, from the very beginning when I chose to do this, I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, not only for you but also for others, but...
So what does it matter?”
——He has nothing to lose, not even his life.
"Lord Fengyue God, can I ask you something?"
"After I dissipate, can I ask you to take care of my child for me?"
Qiao Xi: "..."
Qiao Xi: “!!!”
——Wait a minute, what just happened? The wind on the sea was a bit strong and I didn’t seem to hear clearly?
--child?
He opened his eyes and looked at Mirage. Mirage seemed to have remembered something, and the smile on his face suddenly felt warm and gentle.
"my child……
Lord Fengyue God, have I ever told you that later when I was wandering around the world, I fell in love with a human being."
Mirage told a story with a very gentle process and a somewhat sad ending.
———————————————
Mirage has not been a peaceful monster since he was a child - this can be seen from his behavior when he and Qiao Xi first met.
Although he was not yet an adult when he came to the human world, he still lived in the human world safely for decades thanks to his outstanding illusion that could be mistaken for reality.
Then one day, decades later, he finally came of age.
Mirage is a relatively rare monster, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unique. Generally, monsters like this have very high abilities, and their adult battles are not small.
He was buying food in a shop that day, and he was caught off guard and felt that something was wrong. The monster's innate intuition made him understand that he was about to become an adult, and it was best to choose a quiet place to spend this time without being disturbed.
a period of time.
Unfortunately, he is currently in a busy city.
To be fair, Mirage is also very calm and bold.
He first bought what he wanted to buy, and then came to a human courtyard very calmly.
Only a young girl and a few servants lived here, which Mirage had seen before.
More importantly, the girl is an onmyoji.
——Yes, it’s the kind of Onmyoji whose mission is to subjugate demons (dense fog).
However, the girl is not like an ordinary onmyoji who screams and kills monsters when she sees them. On the contrary, she is curious and tolerant of everything in the world - and this naturally includes monsters.
Mirage knocked on the door and went in - originally he wanted to climb over the wall, but the owner was also an onmyoji after all, and the barrier on the wall was nothing to him at ordinary times, but for him who was currently using nine-tenths of his concentration to
It will be very troublesome when suppressing the rioting demonic energy used to reach adulthood.
So he knocked on the door of an onmyoji with great heart, and when he was led by the servant to see the girl, he showed his face to the girl with his cute twelve-year-old face that was not yet underage.
A polite and innocent smile:
"Excuse me, I am about to reach adulthood and cannot be disturbed during this period. Can you please help guard me for a while?"
"..."
Even a girl as open-minded as a girl was shocked to the spot by his uncompromising words.
But she quickly realized what she was doing, and under the disapproving and wary gazes of the servants, she took the mirage to an open area in the yard, and thoughtfully attached a barrier.
Mirage's adulthood lasted for a full half a year. During this half year, the girl had been conscientiously doing what she had promised, and always guarded Mirage from being disturbed by others.
Finally, half a year later, the mirage came out of the barrier.
After that, the relationship between one person and one monster naturally became familiar.
After getting familiar with it, Mirage also understood that girls were regarded as unknown existences because they could see monsters that others could not see since they were young. In an era when Onmyoji was gradually declining, ordinary people did not know that girls like girls were born with the ability to
Beings who have opened their spiritual vision are so uniquely blessed, but they just feel disgusted and weird.
Her biological mother died in childbirth when she was born. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. So after some thinking, the man who wrote "biological father" and read "stepfather" drove the girl out of the house.
When the girl who was still a child left, she only took away some clothes and the notebooks of an ancestor onmyoji that had accumulated layers of dust in the corner of the attic of the old house.
Through this handbook, she realized that she was not a monster, but could only see things that others could not.
After experiencing a difficult wandering and gaining some fame, the girl settled here.
For Mirage, the girl is the strangest human being he has ever seen in his long wandering in the human world - bar none.
It's not like he hasn't seen kind or open-minded humans in the past, but no matter how kind those humans are, they are always incredibly cruel when facing monsters that are different from them.
Mirage has never met anyone like the girl who treats monsters and humans with exactly the same attitude.
The girl is always curious about all the unknown things, but limited by the weak human body, it is difficult for her to go to some inaccessible places and see everything described in books or that is real but not recorded at all.
However, after getting to know Mirage, what used to be an ambition for her was gradually satisfied.
Mirage found the way the girl observed new things with her bright eyes very interesting, so he always spared no effort to satisfy all the girl's requests.
