Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 652

The girls in the Shuchiin Academy started discussing their families' financial situations.

Consort Zhen's eyelids twitched as she listened; she longed to leave this world!

What happened to my former friends, classmates, and alumni...?

A girl who had temporarily sought refuge with Long Yuanxiang and come to inquire about information was now completely frustrated.

She didn't come here to listen to people flaunt their wealth!

After listening for a while, she had no choice but to leave.

As I left, I vaguely heard a mocking laugh, but I didn't know if it was related to her.

"Why must we suffer so much just to come into this world?"

The girl, Ibuki Mio, was very anxious.

Knowing that she had to suppress this anxiety in order to survive, she had no choice but to endure it.

Endure to the limit, and continue to endure!

If one day I can't hold back anymore, the only option is "death".

Being mocked, bullied, and beaten is something I have to endure. It's infuriating!

Ibuki Mio walked quickly with her head down.

He ignored the increasingly loud laughter behind him.

They've already gone far away!

Ibuki Mio walked even faster and suddenly bumped into something. She felt a warm, soft sensation on her face and a faint, pleasant fragrance wafted to her nose.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Ibuki Mio quickly leaned back to steady herself, her mouth speaking reflexively, her body automatically bowing her head and bending over.

"Hey, is it because you can't see the road ahead?"

"..."

A soft voice flowed by, and Ibuki Mio unconsciously looked up at the person who had asked the question.

She has a graceful figure, a charming and beautiful face, and is youthful and radiant.

The person Ibuki Mio bumped into was a stunningly beautiful woman.

She was more beautiful than many of the women Mio Ibuki had ever seen.

But her body was tense, and the flow of blood in her body seemed to gradually slow down, then stop, stop!

"I don't know how to eat people."

The red spider lily smiled.

She frowned slightly as soon as she finished speaking.

Why has her way of speaking become so strange?

It seems I can't keep chatting with that man.

This is what is meant by "being influenced by what one sees and hears".

"Sorry……"

Ibuki Mio left in a hurry, more like she was running away.

The spider lily turned gently to look at Ibuki Mio's disappearing figure, and smiled softly.

More and more people are feeling lost.

If we could go to the mortal realm, there would probably be many surprises, right?

"Miss Red Flower, could you please stop trying to seduce other people?"

Hikigaya, who had been following behind the spider lily, appeared helplessly and spoke.

The red spider lily smiled and shook its head: "No, you can't."

"Is there no other way?"

"You might as well fulfill their wishes yourself."

"..." Hachiman remained silent.

He discovered that there was little to say about the red spider lily.

These days, everyone knows that the red spider lily can grant wishes through soul transactions.

It would be impossible to say that no one was tempted.

Fortunately, none of them were idiots.

It seems that no one wants to believe such a thing, or rather, only if someone's wish is fulfilled by the red spider lily would they take action.

Hachiman had to thank these people for their caution.

Otherwise, who knows how chaotic things would get?

"That's enough, don't bother me anymore~" The spider lily left.

She had seen many people like Hachiman.

While she wasn't exactly mediocre, she still found it quite boring.

Therefore, even chatting feels like a waste of time.

Call ~

Seeing the spider lilies growing higher up the hill, Hikigaya finally relaxed.

He had a vague feeling that even if he joined forces with others, he would not be a match for the other shore flower.

Furthermore, conflict is the last thing that should happen.

If possible, it's best to prevent this from happening in the first place.

When Hachiman returned to meet up with the others, he found that a meeting was already in progress.

"What happened?" Hachiman asked hastily.

Ayanokouji waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, nothing happened, we're just gathered together to discuss something."

Hikigaya immediately relaxed.

Ayanokouji saw this and was quite annoyed.

"The mission has reached a stalemate. Ah Ba, do you have any ideas?"

"I can't think of it. But I have a general idea—it's probably because we prematurely stopped the preconditions for many tragedies, which is like losing the main plot..."

Hachiman spoke slowly.

Most love stories require various foreshadowing elements.

Currently, due to their actions of saving Kiyohime's mother and Anchin, who was gathering herbs for Kiyohime's mother, certain plot points have undergone significant changes.

Similar to the story of Romeo and Juliet, it lacks the element of the two families intervening.

This makes it difficult for the story to become tragic or moving.

Ayanokouji listened quietly with a strange expression. Seeing that Shijo Tei and Horikita Manabu next to him didn't seem surprised at all, he suddenly felt like he was being too stupid.

Did they all guess this just like Hachiman?

"Now all we can do is wait. I think we can wait for Mr. Cao's results."

After Hikigaya finished speaking, Shijo Tei also expressed his opinion.

Horikita Manabu echoed in agreement: "Mr. Kusa probably has his own ideas. Why don't we try to trust him for now?"

"...Then that's settled."

Ayanokouji had no objection.

The minority should submit to the majority. He may be weak in thinking, so let's listen to everyone else.

Another day passed.

Today, Aohime took the initiative to find Kousaka Kyosuke.

With her back to Kyosuke Kosaka, she stood at the highest point of the hill, arms outstretched, welcoming the wind and waves.

Against the backdrop of bright sunshine, Qing Ji could be said to be the most dazzling presence.

What is love?

"That's a question for you to ask yourself."

"...Such cunning words again."

The trembling words clearly reached Kyosuke Kousaka's ears.

Kyosuke Kosaka's expression remained calm.

"If you want to experience it, then you have to truly experience it."

"...How exactly do you experience it?"

"That's a question for you to ask yourself."
