Ibaraki is a monster whose gender is still doubtful in human rumors. This rumor is not without basis in reality. For example, now, he disguises himself as a woman and enters Kabukicho, which is really quite comfortable.
His appearance was originally exquisite, but after dressing up as a woman, his height and contours were adjusted to be softer. In the eyes of ordinary people, his face could be described as "national beauty and heavenly fragrance."
Fortunately, he himself is a man, and he has a very clear understanding of men's thoughts, and he has experience in the past. As he was walking on the street, from time to time, young people came holding jewelry and wanted to invite Ibaraki to tea.
chat.
Ibaraki only had to smile, and those people were fascinated for a while. Not to mention that Ibaraki just wanted something external, even if Ibaraki wanted more, some idiots would give it to them with both hands.
cough.
Not to mention that Ibaraki had a good time there, Qiao Xi parted ways with him and walked slowly along the streets of Kyoto.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered for no reason. He didn't know where he had seen it before. It was said to be a poem written by an envoy from his country to a woman in Chang'an. He just sighed lightly, and the cherry blossoms in Kyoto were blooming.
, endless mixed emotions spread from the sigh.
——Looking at the people coming and going in front of him, and the various buildings in the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Qiao Xi only felt that the people in this country were very reserved and elegant.
The delicate young man had a smile in his eyes, and his gaze swept across the terraces and pavilions, finally stopping in front of a teahouse.
——Well, I heard that when Shuten Douji and the ghost girl Momiji met for the first time, it was in this teahouse. He was browsing the "places of interest".
Qiao Xi thought to herself, then entered the teahouse with a smile and found a seat to sit down.
Not long after he sat down, a handsome young man sat opposite Qiao Xi with everyone watching in awe. Qiao Xi raised her head, and the young man smiled and knocked the folding fan on the table and said, "Here you are."
Qiao Xi glanced at the young man, her focus involuntarily tilted, and she was filled with resentment in her heart.
——You said, it was okay for everyone to be 1.3 meters tall in the beginning, but now, why is he the only one who still hangs around at 1.4 meters tall and refuses to grow taller?
Seeing the unhappiness on Qiao Xi's face, the smile on the young man's face became even stronger. He casually held the black ceramic tea cup on the table and took a sip. His simple act of drinking water was heard.
He did it very gracefully and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, but the style of Fengyue Palace remains the same."
Qiao Xi: "..."
——Qiao Xi looked at him faintly, maybe because she cared too much, she always felt that this man was complaining that she was still so tall after not seeing him for so many years.
After a long while, he smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but Qingming-kun is even more charming than before."
The young people - that is, Qingming and Qiao Xi looked at each other.
He couldn't remember how many years he hadn't seen this god, more than ten years, or even decades.
After such a long time, he himself has firmly controlled the Onmyoji in Kyoto. He is called the only "Great Onmyoji" by the people in Kyoto in ancient times. The monsters around Kyoto do not dare to do so due to his fright.
Offend again.
——And Fengyue, compared to decades ago, still looks like such an ignorant young boy.
Qingming stared at Qiao Xi who was munching on the delicate snacks, and suddenly a very complicated and somewhat emotional smile appeared on her face.
Qiao Xi glanced at the end of his eyes and caught the other person's smile that he didn't have time to take back. He couldn't help but tilted his head and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Qingming was slightly startled, the smile on his face was indescribably elegant, but when it fell into Qiao Xi's eyes, there was a slight hint of narrowness.
"Well, I just remembered some interesting things."
When these words were spoken, Qingming even felt a very touching emotion inexplicably in her heart.
Yes, even though a long time has passed, in Qingming's mind, the memory of meeting this unique god is still very clear.
——So much so that he can still remember Qiao Xi’s rather perfunctory words when they first met.
Qingming clearly understood that if it weren't for this young man, he wouldn't be like this now - if he hadn't met Fengyue God, he might even be a half-demon that is terrifying and disgusting to monsters.
body.
This assumption may sound a bit presumptuous, because Qingming's character and talents are destined to be extraordinary, but he is still grateful to this young-looking god for this reason.
Qingming had a light smile on her face, but she was filled with emotion in her heart.
Qiao Xike didn't know the extremely complicated emotions in Qingming's heart. He didn't go out often before, he knew very few people or monsters, and even fewer people he could talk to.
There is no doubt that Qingming is someone who can be considered a friend with him. Although the two of them don't get along for a long time, Qiao Xi actually likes this person's character quite a lot.
——Qingming has a free and easy nature, and knows how to behave well when dealing with others, which is also good for herself.
Of course, he is also strong enough. Such strength puts the two of them on an equal footing when they get along.
Although Qiao Xi's friendship has nothing to do with whether the other person is strong, it is undeniable that people with unequal abilities generally have less harmonious personalities.
——The ability here probably does not refer to ability in the general sense.
While Qiao Xi was eating snacks, he enthusiastically described to Qingming what he had seen and heard while traveling in the human world in the past two years.
Qingming propped up her chin and watched him listen carefully.
As she listened, Qingming couldn't help but laugh.
It's also strange. They haven't seen each other for so many years, but there is no unfamiliarity between the two. This god still trusts him as always.
It's so innocently cute.
Qingming thought about it, and couldn't stop the smile on her face.
He was very lucky that at an age when his thoughts were most easily guided, he met a gentle god like Fengyue.
In the years that followed, the more gods or monsters Seimei encountered, the more grateful she felt for the fact that she had met Fengyue.
Qiao Xi was eating as she spoke. When she looked up and saw the smile on Qingming's face, she started laughing too for some reason.
"I wanted to come see you a long time ago, but I never set out."
Qingming held her chin up and said lazily: "If you delay for a few more decades, you might not be able to see me anymore."
After he said this, Qiao Xi remembered that Bu Yue seemed to have said before that Qingming had turned himself into a completely human being.
The smile on Qiao Xi's face couldn't help but froze slightly, but Qingming obviously didn't take what he just said to heart. He glanced at Qiao Xi and then motioned for him to look into the yard.
