9. Before Chidorigafuchi
On April 6, the cherry blossoms in Tokyo are full of flowers.
[The world is bustling, the cherry blossoms pass by in a flash, and only in a moment]
[Matsuo Basho's haiku says: Cherry blossom petals fall on the vegetable soup under the tree]
[The flowers bloom for a week and finally bloom. Tokyo has been dyed pink by the blooming cherry blossoms. Take the bento, take the family, and go to the cherry tree for dinner]
[Today we only talk about poetry and flowers]
After reading the news from the Meteorological Agency, Yuan Qingsu put down his mobile phone and held the tennis bag wrapped in the [Polaris] in his hand, taking a deep breath.
On the way to the Shiratsuyama Shrine, he called his mother who was far away in Shikoku.
"Hey hey!" Because of running a hotel, my mother's voice has been very energetic since early in the morning.
"Mom, it's me."
"No money?"
"How is that possible?" Yuan Qingsu regretted it after saying that. He should have taken the opportunity to ask for a little, "Mom, please send me the high school sportswear, can you find it?"
"Everyone is in the cabinet in the attic, I'll look for it later. What do I need for sportswear?"
“I participated in the school’s Kendo Department and wore it during sportswear training.”
"Do you want money? Do you need to buy a kendo uniform, a wooden knife, and an armor?"
"No, there are clubs."
"If you need it, tell your mother."
"I'm definitely not going to be polite."
"It's not easy for your mother to make money. You'd better be polite. You're twenty years old and I'll still let me raise it."
"Don't worry, you have been in medicine for six years, plus this year, you have to support me for another four years!"
"How can you raise such a son!"
The mother and son laughed at the same time.
Yuan Qingsu stopped laughing first, paused for a while, and shouted as if he was back when he was a child: "...Mother".
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Mother's voice softened across the phone.
"That, actually...I plan to skip class today."
"Skip class?"
"Well, skip class and go see the cherry blossoms."
"Is it with a girl-?" The mother's tone was dragging.
"Forget it, yes--, let's do it." Yuan Qingsu said with a smile.
"Remember the photo!" Mother lowered her voice, with promotional laughter.
"Sakura?"
"Girl!"
"It depends on whether they are willing or not. By the way, I received the letter I sent back? There are photos of the new campus in it."
"I received it, they all said they were so arrogant." Hearing his mother's smug laughter.
"Next time you come to Tokyo, I will take you around, try Akamon ramen, and then go and see Tokyo Tower."
"What Tokyo Tower, you don't know how to be afraid of heights."
"Then go to Shinjuku."
"No! I just want to meet the girl who asked my son to skip classes and go to see the cherry blossoms together."
"Oh, I'm just watching cherry blossoms, not even my friends!"
This was the longest time that Yuan Qingsu had spoken with her mother since she came to Tokyo. She kept chatting on the way to the station until the tram drove into the platform.
At this time, I suddenly realized how worthy of nostalgia in life.
The next generation of "Pokemon" is about to be released, and the new movie has not been watched yet, and the delicious food has not been eaten enough.
I want to fish on the breakwater at my door this summer.
At night, I went home with a bucket, went to the barbecue restaurant to eat boiled edamame, and also went to see the fireworks.
Fireworks... I haven't seen it with my girlfriend in a yukata.
The rising fireworks, do you look at it from the bottom? Or from the side?
The tram was shaking, and the white cherry blossoms outside the window were gorgeous and beautiful, which made Yuan Qingsu think of Shen Lin Yuzi.
Giving up the opportunity to survive and choosing to join the fight against monsters. Now, is she full of nostalgia for life like him?
He remembered what she said again:
People who are truly brave are not not afraid of death, but are full of nostalgia for life and still choose to face difficulties.
‘I’m also a truly brave person.’ Yuan Qingsu tightens the “Polaris” in the tennis bag.
The tram was clattering and moving forward without any hesitation on the rails.
Although he was full of nostalgia for life, he never thought of escaping and did not regret meeting Shen Lin Yuzi.
However, he remembered the fact that Shen Lin Yuzi took advantage of him even deeper.
Sooner or later, sooner or later...
"Miss Shenlin, if you go to the beauty pageant today, I promise: as many people in this world, you can get as many votes as you like."
"I can say all this, it seems that I am in good condition."
Shen Lin Yuzi was still wearing a red and white witch suit today, with magnolia flowers painted on her sleeves.
What's different from usual is that she had a silk ribbon between her arms, which was dazzling, as if golden lights were gathering, floating around the Shenlin Yuzi.
The sun shines on her body, and she is pure and beautiful, and she is simply a fairy in the world.
Yuan Qingsu suddenly remembered the weapon that Shen Lin Yuzi mentioned when she was registering in the Onmyoji.
"Is this the God Witch Ling?" He reached out and touched the Ling belt curiously.
The long belt floats, which looks like a condensation of sunlight, but it actually exists when touched.
The touch is very silky. In this cold early spring morning, there is a warm feeling, which is indeed an amazing thing.
"Huh?" Yuan Qingsu looked at Shen Lin Yuzi in confusion, and Shen Lin Yuzi looked at him straight.
"Can't touch it?" Yuan Qingsu touched it twice in the end, withdrew her hand, "Sorry."
"You usually deserve such a beating?" Shen Lin Yuzi looked at him.
"Actually, I am very cold. If you go to school with me the next day, you will know. The main thing is-"
Yuan Qingsu looked at the streamers floating beside her.
"For example, a woman with horns, a woman with wings, and a woman with a tail, don't you want to touch her?"
"Abnormal."
"It's a pervert!"
"It's really a pervert!"
A few small heads emerged from Shen Lin Yuyuzi's hair, and they were the butterflies.
They look smaller than usual, and are hidden invisible in their hair.
"Little Butterfly," Yuan Qingsu looked at them and softened her voice, "After this battle, I will buy you grapes after you get the money."
"Good guy."
"It's a good person!"
"It's really a good person!"
He is a group of Shikigami with a consistent heart and mouth, very cute.
"Where is Bai Zi?" Yuan Qingsu looked around and didn't see the girl in a military uniform.
"Pray for me in this temple." The two of them stood in front of the Gate of God and said, while Miko Kamira took steps and walked along the temple to Torii.
"Although Bai Zi has a little bad temper, she is very loyal. I don't know if I can have such a spirit to be a Shikigami in the future."
Hallao is a downhill stone road with stone lanterns, stone statues of dogs, and Shushui Club on both sides.
This temple road is wrapped in a guarding forest, oak, beech, chestnut trees... lush and green, all of which are undeveloped native forests.
The secret realm of the White Mountain Shrine is built on the mountain.
The two walked down the mountain with the spots of light and shadows overflowing the stone steps.
◇
"The flowers are all in bloom!" The girl rowing in the moat shouted excitedly.
Chidorizumi is one of the moats where the Great Imperial House lives. It is named after the surface of the river resembles the shape of a thousand-feathered bird flapping its wings and about to fly.
Along the winding moat, cherry trees on both sides are endless, with flowers all over the branches, hundreds or thousands of cherry blossoms, piled up, layer by layer, like a sea of clouds.
The coast is covered by the endless flower clouds, and the flower-watching crowds are like swimming in a sea of flowers.
The crimson is red in the rising sun, and the colorful light is overflowing.
This is a 400-meter-long cherry blossom road.
Yuan Qingsu and Shenlin Yuzi stood under a cherry blossom tree. On the river bank in front of you, there were golden rapeseed flowers.
In everyone's sight, they could only see Yuan Qingsu, but they could not see the god Lin Yuzi dressed as a witch.
The crowd would consciously bypass her, and no one found it strange to have a vacant area on the crowded river bank.
Many girls looked here and pretended to take pictures of the flowers, but were actually taking photos of the source Qingsu.
"It seems that you can't take a photo." Yuan Qingsu looked at Shen Lin Yuzi, took out her cell phone, and took a selfie with the river embankment, cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers as the background.
"What, stupid! Haha~" A silver bell-like laughter came over, blocking Yuan Qingsu, looking at the selfie on his phone.
Unlike the fragrance of cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers, it penetrates the nose of the source of the decimonia.
He looked carefully and found that it was Ji Gong Shiliuye's soft and innocent and delicate face.
She wore a gorgeous long-sleeved kimono today and wrapped in a mink shawl, like a girl attending the March 3rd Adult Ceremony.
"Can you not be so close to me?" Yuan Qingsu hid for a while, not wanting to touch this woman who felt very dangerous.
Ji Gong Shiliuye ignored him, snatched his cell phone and pointed it at the two of them.
"Come on, laugh!"
"Crack", she took a photo of the two of them using Yuan Qingsu's mobile phone without authorization.
"It's very photogenic, but it's not as good as me." After saying that, the man took someone else's cell phone and took photos of himself.
Yuan Qingsu thought about it and said that as long as it was a girl, it didn’t matter whose photos it was, so it didn’t take them back.
He looked around the river bank.
A young male man dressed in a samurai taking pictures by the river bank;
Young female eating cherry blossom dumplings on blue tarp under the tree;
The uncle taking pictures of flowers, the middle-aged woman taking pictures of each other;
Middle-aged couple walking side by side, young lovers, same-sex friends;
Tourists in the moat, either shaking paddles or pedaling on swan boats;
Among these ordinary tourists, careful sensing can detect the divine power that stirs their bodies.
Yuan Qingsu looked at the 400-meter cherry blossom road and stood there motionlessly, but her heart was surging.
It's about to start.
"Don't stand stupidly, take a picture of me!"
Ji Gong Shiliuye stuffed his phone into Yuan Qingsu's hand, then raised a round fan to cover his face, stood under the cherry blossom tree, facing the sunshine - he had already put on his shape.
Yuan Qingsu raised his cell phone and pointed it at Shenlin Yuzi who was looking at the river bank from afar.
The camera is empty, without her sacred figure, only the crowd in the distance.
"Hey, are you okay?" Ji Gong Shiliuye kept silencing his face, not looking at this side, as if he was planning to create a sense of shot that he was photographed inadvertently.
"Okay, OK." Yuan Qingsu took a photo.
Ji Gong Shiliuye walked over happily, as if he was very familiar with Yuan Qingsu and looked at his phone.
"Even if I didn't take the time to take pictures, it's still so beautiful!" As if she didn't think it was enough, she added, "Why am I so beautiful!"
After that, she also said to Yuan Qingsu: "Allow you to keep this photo and use it as wallpaper or some erotic things."
“…”
Shen Lin Yuzi looked over, and the butterfly little people also poked their heads out of their hair.
Yuan Qingsu deleted the photos in front of them and showed them the interface.
Shen Lin Yuzi glanced at it and said, "'Recently Deleted'."
“…”
Source Details is turned on 'Recent Delete' and delete it again.
Ji Gong Shiliuye looked back and forth at the two of them and said curiously: "Are you couples?"
The people around who were attracted by her beauty looked at the two of them strangely, and they could not see the god Lin Yuzi.
"Is it possible?" Yuan Qingsu asked.
"Then——, why did you delete my photo?" Ji Gong Shiliuye got very close, so close that Yuan Qingsu could see herself in her eyes clearly.
This seemed like my girlfriend was angry and asked, and I didn't know if the other party's divine power was far superior to him, which made Yuan Qingsu a little creepy.
Just as the world suddenly shrank, he was in a box, with one eye on it, staring at him without blinking.
"I also want to know why I need to delete it." He said, moving away and looking at Shen Lin Yuzi.
Ji Gong Shiliu Ye also looked at Shen Lin Yuzi.
"I will be very troubled if you are suddenly interested in women. Please hold on until after I die."
Yuan Qingsu remembered that this woman came to him because she was not close to women.
"...I hope I can live until that time." He put away his phone and looked at the 400-meter cherry blossom road again, "Why haven't it started yet?"
Shen Lin Yuzi heard his expectations and said, "Excitement can bring strength to people, but it will also give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, pay attention to maintaining a balance between excitement and calmness."
Yuan Qingsu took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then he was a little excited.
"Why are you excited?" Ji Gong Shiliuye stared at Yuan Qingsu curiously.
"You will see the monsters right away."
“So what if I see it?”
"It can increase knowledge and experience, and life can have more possibilities."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid, I'm dying. I called my mother in the morning."
Yuan Qingsu said this, Shen Lin Yuzi and Ji Gong Shiliu Ye both came over.
On that handsome and clear face, you can indeed see your nostalgia for life and your fear of the future.
"But," Yuan Qingsu's eyes flashed, "The more I fear, the more I can temper myself; the more I experience the more I fear, the higher the realm of life. I want to see where I can go in this life and what level I can reach in the end!"
It's not too late to be twenty!
Yuan Qingsu's whole body was full of strength and her face was full of fighting spirit.
He looked at the 400-meter cherry blossom road, as if he was looking at his unpredictable path of life.
The two witches fell silent.
Shen Lin Yuzi remembered Yuan Qingsu's abilities; Ji Gong Shiliuye smiled and looked at Yuan Qingsu with admiration.
"It's not practical to say this now," Yuan Qingsu suddenly changed his mind, "I just want to make money now."
"Do it, get money?" Perhaps the topic was changing too quickly, Ji Gong Shiliuye didn't react at once.
In her concept, what is money?
"Thank you, Miss Shen Lin, I see everyone Fukuzawa Yukiki now, and I can't even see the beauty in my eyes."
Shen Lin Yuzi laughed silently, as beautiful as after the rain, a beam of light leaked out from the dark clouds, shining on the white magnolia flowers wet by the rain.
"Thank her for her blessing? What happened? Tell me quickly!" Ji Gong Shiliuye was very familiar, just like a friend who had not seen each other for many years.
However, the longest time for these three people is to know each other for three days.
Yuan Qingsu was about to accuse Shen Lin Yuzi of his greed when a loud voice suddenly came from a distance.
"Please cut the cake of happiness!" a man dressed in an emcee shouted vigorously.
Looking at the sound, it turned out that someone was holding a wedding.
Many tourists acted as temporary guests, looking at the matching bride and groom blessedly.
"The bride and groom feed each other 'first' ceremony!"
Countless flashes, starry skylights rushing to light up.
"The groom feeds the bride and promises to let you have food and clothing for the rest of your life!"
"The bride feeds the groom and promises to cook delicious food for you in this life!"
"Okay, please share this happiness with everyone here. Let's talk big together, 'Ah--'!"
The emcee talked about the wedding customs that Yuan Qingsu had never heard of.
"I'm so stupid. I will never invite such an emcee when I get married." Ji Gong Shiliuye said to Yuan Qingsu as if instructed.
"You discuss with your husband and tell me what's the use? By the way, the witch's marriage should be in the pre-god style, right? But the witch can get married..."
"The bride's skirt looks pretty good." Ji Miyu Shijiya didn't care about Yuan Qingsu's reaction at all, and said to himself.
Yuan Qingsu looked over and saw that the bride was wearing long wedding gloves on both hands, a silver crown on her head, and a white tulle skirt was high and fluttered.
"It looks good," he said.
Shen Lin Yuzi also looked at the happy wedding scene, not knowing what she was thinking.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came, and the earth shook.
Yuan Qingsu suddenly turned around, and the four hundred meters of cherry blossom road was like a giant python that raised its head, slowly raising itself.
"Here you come!"
"gather!"
"Array!"
Roars come one after another.
A drop of cameras when taking pictures turned into a hand cannon, and three young men immediately gathered behind him;
The last family sitting on the picnic cloth stood up, holding a knife, a gun, and a sword. The last one lifted up the picnic cloth. The picnic cloth "brushed" it and turned into a shield;
The couple on the river jumped into the water, and in a blink of an eye, they were wearing water armor and jumped out of the river again, with gorgeous water-colored magic power all over, standing on the surface of the river.
Regular clothes have become various ancient clothes, including armor, hunting clothes, and single clothes...
"The gods of heaven and earth, the virtuous spirit of the shikigami, come!"
Various divine powers are brilliant, forming a formation!
The three-meter giant with cow horns, the flying man with eagle wings, the python more than ten meters long, the shark that poked his head out of the Qiandou Abyss, and all kinds of strange Shikigamis showed their bodies in the divine light of the formation.
The leisurely scenery of the flowers that originally enjoyed the flowers turned into a country of demons in a blink of an eye.
"hold head high--"
As if it was about to roar down the sky, the giant python composed of the four hundred meters of cherry blossom road opened its mouth and spit it. The pink god's aura soared into the sky, forming a huge pillar of light, and the white clouds were shattered.
"hold head high--"
Another roar.
Yuan Quinsu turned his head and looked. In the direction of Shinjuku Oyuan to the west, a giant bird made of cherry blossoms spread its wings, and the huge beak also ejaculated with pink god aura.
"The bride and groom kiss--" the host shouted loudly as the monster roared.
"hold head high--"
"Kiss one! Kiss one!" The guests cheered and applauded.
"hold head high--"
The beasts roared one after another, and the giant beasts flew across the sky, and the entire Tokyo city became a paradise for monsters.
Countless pink god auras support the heaven and earth, like huge waves spreading out.
