Xiao Qing sat quietly on the lantern, following behind the Snow Woman. When the Snow Woman saw her, she stopped beside her and asked, "Why haven't you grown up yet?"
"Gui Gui and Big Black Brother didn't take me out to play, they only took Ichimokuren."
It was clearly a complaint, but it wasn't spoken in a complaining tone; it was very quiet.
"Wait a little longer. Father wants Ichimokuren to grow up and protect us. When we fight, the injuries hurt a lot, but with Ichimokuren, the pain is gone."
"Um."
Xiao Qing, the lantern girl, nodded obediently.
Ichimokuren is the wind god, able to summon wind spirits to protect them, and is also a warm-hearted and gentle older brother.
Upon reaching the shrine, a group of Onmyoji were inside paying their respects. A shikigami emerged from the shrine beaming and said to its companions:
"I drew the best luck! Today is going to be a lucky day!"
"Sigh, I only have Xiao Ji."
Another shikigami chimed in.
"Let's draw lots too."
Qiu Shuiyi went to the shrine to get the fortune-telling tube and had each person draw a fortune stick.
"I am from Zhongji."
He spoke first.
"I'm Daikichi!"
The firefly was very happy.
"?"
How do you interpret this?
Little Hundred Ghosts asked the Demon Musician.
"Look at it from the inside out."
The musician took her fortune slip, which read "Bad luck".
What is it?
Little Hundred Ghosts asked expectantly, though she couldn't read.
"It's very auspicious."
The musician said with a smile.
"Great! Awesome!"
"The shrine is empty! Everyone, go in and pray for peace!"
Qiu Shuiyi led a group of shikigami in to pay their respects, while Jue, Yaoqinshi, and Futakuchi-onna led the little ones in their prayers.
From afar, she saw a robust Ibaraki-doji, with a familiar sorcerer beside him. Qiu Shuiyi went up to greet him.
"Traveler, you've come too?"
When Tian Ma Xingke saw the group of kids behind her, his lips twitched.
"It's very strange that a monster came to worship a god!"
"It's nothing, just for good luck."
"Father, I got this!"
Jumping Sister hopped over, holding a snapdragon in her hand, while a listless red goldfish swayed on the green grass.
What a bizarre art style.
Huh? Where did it come from?
"This was given to me by the gentleman next to me."
Ghost... ghost lamp?
Not far away, under a tree, there was a large patch of snapdragons. The Onmyoji who was carrying snapdragons to give away in front of Hozuki looked like he was about to cry...
A blue figure flashed by.
That is...
"Yuki-onna! Quick! Ame-onna has run off with another Onmyoji!"
"Is the Rain Woman's face blindness acting up again?"
Yuki-onna put down the Juzu she was holding and handed her to Futakuchi-onna, then went with the Hair-Eating Demon to chase after the lost Ameonna.
"Oh, thank you~ But, could you put me down?"
Beneath the seashell lay a gaping maw, and Jiao Tu, sweating profusely, stopped fanning herself with her fan.
"Huh? Where are you, Jiao Tu?"
Futakuchi-onna looked on in confusion, her hands on either side of her hair raised up the juzu, seemingly looking for the right opportunity to swallow it...
"Hey, help Jiao Tu!"
The hair-eating demon arrived.
Qiu Shuiyi was sweating bullets when she turned around and found that only three or four of the group of kids were left standing there, and the little peach blossom fairy was running to the side, holding her skirt.
"Wake up! The little peach blossom fairy has run away! Don't run around! Come back!"
In the blink of an eye, the little ones disappeared without a trace, leaving only Ichimokuren, Aoandon, and Jorogumo standing obediently in place.
"Well……"
What a lively New Year celebration!
There were too many Onmyoji, each followed by a Shikigami. The same faces appeared endlessly before their eyes. Even Ibaraki from the Tamashii family came to help them find their little Shikigami.
Is this it?
Ibaraki lifted up a little bouncy girl, who struggled in his hands, crying, "Brothers, save me!"
Not far away, the furious older brother and the bewildered younger brother were approaching.
"Father...is this from our dormitory?"
Pointing to a poisonous bird eating candied apples, even the hair-eating ghost got confused.
"We can't find them anywhere! Could they have been kidnapped by bad guys?!" Yingcao exclaimed in terror.
"How about we raise a flag that says—'The Beauty by the Autumn Waters'?"
"good!"
Qiu Shuiyiren agreed to the suggestion.
A piece of cloth was torn off and the words "Autumn Water Beauty" were written on it. The tallest hair-eating demon held the flag and waved it in the air.
Soon, the lost little shikigami saw that the chess pieces had indeed returned on their own, only to be greeted by the hair-eating demon and the black-faced demon with a good beating.
"Where did you all go? Disobeying me?!"
The little ones cried a few times, feeling wronged.
The shrine was thrown into chaos. Onmyoji (exorcists) gathered around, pointing and gossiping. It's estimated that from today onwards, everyone in Heian-kyo will know him.
After finally finishing their prayers at the shrine, the chickens and dogs, along with their large entourage of shikigami, made their way to a secluded spot when their phone suddenly started ringing incessantly with message notifications.
Qiu Shuiyi stopped to check the information, followed by Xue Nu, Gui Gui, and Da Hei, and then Yao Qinshi...
Not paying attention to what was happening in front, the little ones suddenly pounced on the person in front as soon as they stopped, bounced backward, and then fell down like dominoes.
"Ouch!"
"pain!"
You stepped on me!
"Waaah..."
Suddenly, a cacophony erupted behind her. Qiu Shuiyi froze, rubbing her ears. Could they really start arguing over something as simple as walking? Couldn't they at least be a little more considerate?
It's all because of the ten-pull gacha! I summoned so many shikigami that I can't afford to raise them all. They're all so young that it's driving me crazy!
Monsters are destructive, each with powerful magic. They don't hold back when they fight, just like when Gui Gui was a naughty child, he was beaten almost every day, and now he has become a filial son.
While comforting the shikigami who had fallen behind, she opened her messages, which contained a group message from Sister Qiao.
[There's a Yin-Yang Bureau that looks easy to bully, like a high-class retirement home. It's pretty easy to beat up, everyone hurry up and come claim your spots!]
[Okay, I'll be there soon.]
After replying to the message, she checked the system notification to see the name of the guild she was supposed to attack. Seeing the guild name, she felt a surge of desire to attack!
[Go ahead and hit me if you dare]
"Only someone with a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) would choose a name like that, right?"
She was speechless.
With a mission in hand, she arranged for the Hair-Eating Demon to escort the Radish Heads home, while she led the Box Girl, Yuki-onna, Juzu, and Oni-meta-gumi, along with Ichimokuren and Hannya, toward the [Go ahead and hit me if you dare] guild.
"Father, where are we going?"
"This time we're going to..."
Ichimokuren and Prajna asked her at the same time.
"Go kill someone."
She put it simply and clearly.
"Hmm? That's great! Haha~"
"Isn't this a bad idea?"
...
An Onmyoji, flanked by two shikigami: Ichimokuren on the left and Hannya on the right. One loves to protect humans, the other seeks revenge. One is forgotten, the other has been deceived...
Qiu Shuiyi felt her head was about to explode from the constant noise coming from all sides.
"Hold on, stay calm..."
She silently repeated it three times in her mind, then interrupted Little Prajna, who was telling her how treacherous humans were, and carefully explained what they were about to do.
