[Ootengu, I've finally found him! I want to be with him, I want to stay by his side and take care of him forever.]
...
[Our guild has its first six-star member! It's Guigui, congratulations! I hope he becomes even stronger; I really hope that day comes soon.]
[Lady Muxue has come to deliver a gift. It turns out today is Father's birthday, and we all need to prepare a present for him.]
...
[The new SSR is difficult to get along with; I'll have to teach him a lesson with Ichimokuren tomorrow. There are too many people at home; I've been very busy lately.]
[The dormitory gate had a large pit carved out by those evil spirits in the wilderness, and the little paper figures always complained about how difficult it was to clean. Today, Lord Tamamo-no-Mae actually saw it and took the initiative to repair the gate; he is truly a kind lord.]
[I used to look forward to having a Tamamo-no-Mae come to our house, but now I can't bear to part with this gentle gentleman.]
...
[Tomorrow is Tanabata (the seventh day of the seventh lunar month), and Kosode sewed me a new outfit. My relationship with Ootengu shouldn't be far off.]
[I'm really looking forward to the wedding day. Will Dad be sad if I can't be by his side?]
[Ghost and Ibaraki-dōji are arguing again in front of everyone; both have fiery tempers and never seem to learn to control themselves.]
...
As she read through the pages, images of her time in the dormitory flashed before her eyes. Looking at the clothes hanging to the side, Qiu Shui felt a lump in her throat.
She always made excuses, always telling her to upgrade other shikigami first, but in the end, she was still only a five-star shikigami...
My Yuki-onna, my first child, will never come back...
Two tears streamed down her cheeks. From the corner of her eye, a small, colorful figure slowly crawled out and crawled right up to her.
Menreiki looked up at her, her short fingers twitching the hem of her clothes, her innocent eyes meeting hers.
"Father, why are you crying?"
"No."
Qiu Shui wiped away the tears from her eyes, turned her face away, and bent down to hug her.
"Where did everyone go? Where did Brother Fox Demon go?" Menreiki looked around, searching for a familiar figure.
"The fox spirit is down there... perhaps in Heian-kyo. He'll be back tonight."
Qiu Shui wiped the corners of her eyes and said.
"What about Brother Great Tengu?"
Menreiki asked again, and after asking, she muttered to herself:
"Big Tengu must have gone to see Big Fox again. He's always worried about Big Fox. Ugh, no one's playing with me anymore."
Menreiki pouted and said.
"I'm going to find Brother Ootengu."
She floated in the air, drifting downstairs.
"etc!"
Qiu Shui called out to her.
The Great Tengu...
The spirit floated back and gently landed beside her. "Father, you're crying again."
She caught Qiu Shui's tears, put them in her mouth, and frowned.
"It's bitter."
"A kind of spirit."
Looking at the bewildered two-star little guy in front of her, Qiu Shui said in a hoarse voice, "Da Tengu will never come back."
"Huh? Where did he go?"
The little girl's face scrunched up, and she raised her little fist, asking angrily.
"He left."
Mian Lingqi still didn't understand. She stared blankly at Qiu Shui, "What does 'leave' mean?"
"He will never come back, which means you will never see each other again."
At this point, Qiu Shui choked up.
She will never see the children who left this place again. She watched them grow up little by little, day by day, and now how could it have turned out like this!
"Snow Woman, Aqin..."
Qiu Shui hugged Mian Lingqi and cried.
After a long time, Qiu Shui wiped away the tears on her face and regained her composure.
Carrying Menreiki, who was still unaware of what had happened, downstairs, an uninvited guest stood quietly in the courtyard.
Qiu Shui walked up to her, and the hair-eating demon gave her a cruel smile. "Lady A Zi, I don't want to fight you. My goal is very clear: I want to get back what belongs to the Snow Maiden!"
"What is that?"
Qiu Shui walked up to them.
She stared coldly at Xu Zi, never expecting that Xu Zi would have the audacity to enter Heian-kyo and even dare to appear in front of her. Today, she would definitely not let her off!
Xu Zi coldly watched the hair-eating demon holding her hostage with its sharp, knife-like hair, uttering a disdainful sound as a dangerous atmosphere quietly brewed in the courtyard.
A few minutes later, Xu Zi revealed a mocking smile, pointing her fingertips at the hair-eating demon.
"You actually dare to take me hostage? Aren't you afraid of ending up like the Snow Woman?"
Upon hearing her words, Qiu Shui saw a scene before her eyes, her five fingers clenched tightly.
"You took the Snow Woman away using despicable means, and now you dare to show your face in front of me? Die!"
A mechanical gun appeared out of thin air. Qiu Shui looked coldly at Xu Zi. This gun was a prop for virtual practice, and killing people was no problem for it.
With a machine gun pointed at her, Xu Zi's lips twitched slightly. "Just this one gun, and you think you're..."
When her finger touched the muzzle of the gun, Xu Zi's expression changed drastically. She withdrew her finger in terror and backed away.
"You...you actually..."
"Go to hell!"
Qiu Shui opened the safety lock, and Xu Zi's face turned even paler. She raised her hand and looked at Qiu Shui in disbelief.
"I thought you were a crazy mechanic, but I never imagined you were a madman! You actually want to kill me for a few fake, gimmicky things here!"
"Shut up!"
Qiu Shui let out a hoarse roar, raised the muzzle of his gun, and glared at her hatefully.
"They're not objects, they're my babies who've been with me for two hundred days! If you take them away, I will never let you get away with it!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zi trembled uncontrollably, muttering, "Hurting others will only hurt yourself. If you dare to fire, you'll go to hell with me!"
The hair-eating demon closest to her stiffened slightly.
With a sudden press of her finger, the Hair-Eating Demon suddenly stood in front of Xu Zi, facing Qiu Shui.
"Guigui, step back!"
The hair-eating demon did not move, and a white silk cloth covered his eyes.
"I'll handle this!"
Qiu Shui's fingers trembled as she raised the gun again.
In just one second, these electromagnetic waves will flow into Xu Zi's body, filling her central nervous system and causing her brain cells to stop working abruptly!
"Father..."
The hair-eating demon sighed softly.
"If you're not here, we have no reason to exist."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shui's fingers stiffened slightly, then began to tremble.
What are you saying?
“I don’t want to shake your wishes, but you are Shusui, not Abe no Seimei…”
The hair-eating demon turned around and looked at Xu Zi, who was stunned behind him.
"Neither do you."
He lowered his head and sighed.
“I am not Seimei… but I am your father, I am…” Qiushui said anxiously.
“You are a player, and our world is virtual,” the hair-eating demon calmly stated, stating a fact he had known all along.
Autumn Water was speechless. Her gun barrel slowly lowered. "That's right, I am a player of Onmyoji. My name is Luo Autumn Water."
"Sir? What are you talking about?"
"We're virtual? How could that be! Sir..."
"What nonsense are you spouting, Gui Gui?!"
An uproar erupted around them.
