Chapter 101
"Fly slower on the way back, I'm almost freezing to death." Qingxi followed the three people on the ground in the sky all the way until they safely walked out of the mountains, and then she let Jiro take her back. However, going back was not as fast as coming here, so she said to Jiro.
The moon was very round tonight. When I sat on Jiro's back and looked down, I could see many scenes clearly unless it was a dense forest.
Jiro flew slowly, and Qingxi's sleepiness had disappeared completely after a few tries. Suddenly, she had nothing to do, so she simply lowered her head to look at the scenery below. As she looked, she saw a small black shadow flying quickly below.
She lowered her head again out of curiosity, but the other party was too fast, and it turned here and there while running. Even if she squinted her eyes into a line, she still couldn't make out what it was.
Perhaps Qingxi's gaze was too scorching, the running little black shadow on the road stopped, and the silvery moonlight completely exposed the little black shadow's figure when he raised his head.
hiss--
Qingxi gasped.
Hey! That little black shadow turned out to be Xing Ming.
She retracted her neck to look down, and lay on Jiro's back, grabbing a feather on its back and pulling it at an extremely high frequency.
What are you daydreaming about? You should just fly away now. Are you waiting to be caught and punished?
But she knew that no matter how easy it was to talk to Beimingyu Xingming in normal times, he would become very difficult to talk to when it came to some things.
For example, the children at home are disobedient, disobedient and disobedient.
Regarding this point, you can recall how he treated the "disobedient" Youta, Sho, and Airi when she first came into this world.
Cold profiteering shouldn't be this bad.jpg
Well, of course, he would also get stuck in a dead end, and he would do it without saying a word.
Realizing that the girl on his back was eager to leave, Jiro made a noise and was about to speed up, but just as he made his noise, he was angrily slapped on the head by the girl.
Are you stupid? Didn't you give it all away by yelling?
What do you think Xingming’s ears are used for?
Having lost the ability to see the world with his eyes, all he can rely on are the sounds of the world brought to him by his ears.
Yes, the calls of the crows are pretty much the same, and someone who is not familiar with them might be fooled, but they definitely do not include Xingming from Beiming Island.
"Aki, are you being carried in the sky by Jiro?" The man's steady voice sounded, and the tone of his statement even indicated that even if he couldn't see it, he had noticed it.
In the sky, the girl who was angry at Jiro's sudden disconnection froze as she slapped her head, and even her breathing stopped.
She decided not to give up and kept silent, hoping to see if she could dispel the other party's suspicion.
However, the clapping noises suddenly stopped, and Jiro just hovered there without moving, which completely told him that he was trying to cover up his mistake.
"Come down." Xingming of Beiming Island ordered the man and crow in the sky in a serious tone.
Realizing that the other party was really angry, both the man and the crow backed off.
Whether in terms of force or as the head of the family, they can only obey orders.
Without her saying anything, Jiro carried her slowly down to the ground.
Less than five meters from the ground, Qingxi unbuckled all the safety belts on his body and threw himself towards the people below.
She planned very well. If she couldn't avoid this matter, she would take the initiative.
Noticing the girl's actions, the tall young man, who had a tense face and was already thinking about how to educate the only girl in the family who had no fighting skills, stretched out his hands to catch the girl falling from the sky.
"Xingming, listen to my explanation." After being caught by Beiming Island Xingming, Qingxi put her arms around his neck and started talking, "I was sleeping well in the house, but then I went to the bathroom. When I came back, Jiro suddenly came back and told me that a ghost hunter was seriously injured, but it would take some time for the Anbu people to get there. I was worried that the treatment would not be urgent, so I asked Jiro to drive me over to see him.
This was my first time out at night (out loud). I’d never done that before.”
The girl spoke quickly and hurriedly, as if the misunderstanding would only get bigger if she didn't explain herself quickly.
Even though he knew the reason why Qingxi ran out at night, Beimingyu Xingming still didn't intend to let it go. He said silently, "There are only zero and countless times when someone runs out at night."
She was considering whether she should act like other children and act like a spoiled brat towards Xingming if explaining herself still didn't make the other party move on. She even considered whether the other party might dislike her because of her real age. But Xingming, who asked her to rely on him during the New Year, shouldn't dislike her... When she faced this question, she didn't expect him to say that.
For a moment, all the coquettishness was forgotten.
Qingxi's blue eyes widened and his face was filled with disbelief.
"Xingming, you plagiarized my words!"
Beiming Island Xingming tried hard to ignore the girl's accusations. He coughed lightly and said, "You were the one who told me this, Ah Xi. Now, how can I trust your promise to me?"
Qingxi felt a lump in his throat, and the breath was stuck in his chest, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
It's just... so awful.
Satisfied that the girl finally fell into his hands, Beiming Island Xingmei turned his head and "looked" in the direction of Jiro with his blind eyes.
Obviously, the other party didn't have any intention of punishing him, but Jiro, who was so big, was still stared at so hard that the feathers on his body stood up.
Note that it really exploded all over, from a handsome crow to a mochi ball.
It was the first time for Qingxi to see a crow with its fur standing on end, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
It’s a little dark, but it looks really fun.
She dared to guarantee that if the five kittens in her house saw it, they would definitely fall in love with it at first sight.
Realizing that the person in his arms had lost her mind, Beiming Island Xingming put her back on Jiro's back and let her sit down again.
"I still have to go on patrol. We'll talk about the rest after I get back." He patted Jiro on the back and said, "Take Axi back. Don't stay... So far, I haven't encountered any flying ghosts. If they can fly in the sky, I can still rest assured when you go back."
He seemed to be talking to the man and the crow, but also seemed to be talking to himself, "But, just in case, you should take Ah Xi to fly higher. Also, pay more attention to the situation below, and don't get shot by ghosts."
Jiro knew the situation and let out a squeak. He spread his wings and flew away with the girl towards the mansion.
How could it not know the current situation? Although it is still working for the Demon Slayer Corps, it is different from other crows. It is raised by Qingxi.
In other words, it is now a domestic crow, bringing its owner, who has little fighting ability, out in the middle of the night. Even though its original intention was good, it was still blamed by the adults in the family.
Yu Xingming listened to the wailing sounds on the ground for a while. From a distance, he could still hear the girl's dissatisfied protests to Jiro.
"Ah, I haven't even spoken to Xingming yet, why did you fly away?"
After making sure that the man and the crow were in good spirits, he lowered his head and continued to shuttle between the mountain paths, but his running speed was even faster than before.
A faint fish belly white appeared on the eastern horizon. Qingxi was brought back by Beilang at this time.
The cold wind blew all the way back, and when she unbuckled her seat belt, her hands were shaking.
In the corridor, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was waiting outside, saw the man and the crow come back, then he silently stepped down from the eaves. Then, when the girl climbed down from Jiro, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the back of her collar and lifted her in front of him.
"Master~"
Suddenly, she was grabbed by the collar from behind. Qingxi's body stiffened for a moment. After seeing who was there, she pounced again, "Let me hold you for a while. You're freezing."
Feeling touched by such a cold little face, Tsurumaru Kuninaga couldn't help but shiver. He even temporarily put aside the things he had originally planned to do to educate his master.
"Why is it so cold? There must be a blanket in your gourmet backpack, why don't you take it out and wrap it up." As he spoke, Tsurumaru Kuninaga was about to carry the person back to the house, but when he walked into the corridor, he finally smelled a hint of blood among the fragrance of wisteria flowers in the air.
He paused, "Master, are you hurt?"
"No," Qingxi denied. "The Anbu personnel couldn't make it, so Jiro sent me to rescue him. The blood got there when I was giving him first aid. I covered him with a blanket, but when I came back, Xingming grabbed me again. Then, that coward Jiro rushed back with me."
Master, are you sure you are not afraid of Beiming Island?
If Jiro is really just a coward as you say, then why didn't you wrap yourself in more clothes when you came back?
Didn’t you forget it because you were a coward?
Tsurumaru Kuninaga listened to the explanation patiently, but felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
He took her to wash the blood off her hands, and then carried her back to her own room.
"Master, the haori you are wearing is also stained with blood, so I took it away and will wash it when the day breaks." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said as he stuffed the person into the backpack.
He touched Qingxi's face, which had curled up into a ball, and grinned, "It's still very cold. I hope you're catching a cold."
"Don't be such a pessimist," Qingxi said dissatisfiedly. "When the bed warms up later, I'll be warm too."
"You should go back to your room and sleep." She yawned, "I need to catch up on my sleep."
"Oh right..." Qingxi opened her eyes suddenly after closing them. She wanted to sit up, but the quilt was too tight around her. She couldn't do it, so she just kept looking at him expectantly, as if she was about to struggle. "If I'm still sleeping when Xingming comes back, don't wake me up. I don't need breakfast or lunch. I can take care of it in my room by myself."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga was silent for a moment, his tone full of sympathy, "Master, struggling is useless."
Qingxi lay down with the quilt covering most of her face, "I don't want to listen to Xingming's lecture."
"The sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said in a serious tone, "And—" he stretched out his voice, "If you don't listen to Beiming Island's preaching to you, then why don't you listen to mine?"
"Why are you here too?" aggrieved voice.
"I have to come." Tsurumaru Kuninaga replied in a voice even more aggrieved than hers. "Master, do you know you're a worthless fighter now? You left with Jiro without saying a word. If I hadn't sensed something was wrong and came out to check, I wouldn't even know when you left.
You went to save someone, and you came back unharmed this time, but what about next time? And the next time? And the next time?
Some things only have zero and countless times.
I don't believe the master can still endure it after experiencing Jiro carrying him out to save someone in the middle of the night.
So, what are your plans for your own personal safety?"
Qingxi, who was speechless twice in a row by two different people with their own words, turned over and turned her back to the other person, choosing to remain silent.
Looking at Qingxi like this, Tsurumaru Kuninaga felt that her personality was developing more and more towards that of a child. Otherwise, just look at her last year. She seemed to get along well with everyone in the clinic and was very open to talk to. But in the end, after all, she was only concerned about Beimeiyu, the three children that neither he nor Yakuken had ever seen, and Harada Shinnosuke who was killed by a demon.
Sitting cross-legged on the tatami without any image, Tsurumaru Kunizai poked Qingxi's back, who was wrapped in a blanket and facing him. She leaned forward due to inertia. Seeing that she ignored him, he reached out and stroked her head, saying, "Master, in addition to the amulet control, let's add a summoning class."
