Meow meow meow?

That's right!

This lord opened the bird ww

Fortunately, the fire department arrived in time.

Other than the Midori, there were no other casualties among the rehearsals.

However, the lively school festival had also cooled down by more than half because of this.

The explosion of the ceiling lamp was too strange, and even if it was overheated, it was difficult to burn the fire curtain.

Not to mention that it was completely burned.

Coupled with the strange power outage and the sudden fever of the patient,

Akashiji had a feeling that the school festival seemed to be targeted by something.

"Shintaro is injured?"

Hearing this news, Kanai panicked.

She hurriedly held the phone and asked, "Where is he hurt?

Where is he now?

Is there anything else? "

"Please don't worry, Miss Hyuga," Akashiji gently comforted Kanai.

"Shintaro only scalded his arm. He's currently being bandaged in the infirmary."

"Okay." Kanai bit her lower lip.

"I'll be right there."

She put down the phone.

Kanai hastily tucked her hair behind her ear.

She was still wearing the white witch outfit she wore when she received Ghost Lantern during the day. With a serious expression, she threw out a blue talisman. The instant explosion of spiritual power caused Ibaraki and Kendo to rush to the backyard.

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhen, Zhenzhe, are, all, listed, in front!

Gui Nu Red Leaf — Come to my side! "

She was still chasing stars on set.

Red Leaf, who was flirting with the little star, responded to the summon in the next second. She walked out of the gorgeous Red Leaf. Just as she was about to act coquettishly, she was shocked by her master's rare serious gaze. The incomparably clever banshee immediately swallowed her coquettish words and bowed respectfully to Kanai.

"Gui Nu Red Leaf.

Before Master's summon. "

"Sorry to disturb Red Leaf."

Kanai nodded at Red Leaf.

Only then did he look at Ibaraki and Kendo. "Ibaraki, Red Leaf, follow me to Teiguang. If you find any traces of evil demons, kill them without mercy."

Miko-sama was expressionless, but a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Kendo, guard the Sunset Shrine. If Lord Ghost Lantern comes again, you must contact me. If a demon invades, destroy it at all costs!"

Kendo immediately knelt down on one knee to receive the order. Red Leaf and Ibaraki looked at each other and lowered their heads.

"Yes!

Yes, Master! "

After giving her instructions, Kanai turned to look at Huang Se. "Don't worry, it's probably caused by the Guardian Boa of Hell. You can stay at the shrine." She then turned to leave.

"Little, little Hyuga!"

Huang Se, who was frightened by Kanai's cold aura, almost grabbed Kanai's sleeve. "Take me with you?

I'm very familiar with Teiguang. I also want to see how the little Midori's injuries are. "

Kanai paused and nodded. "Alright, let Ibaraki fly you there. I'll go with Red Leaf."

Huang Se: … Is it too late to say no now?

"Alright, time is of the essence. Let's go."

At Kanai's command, Red Leaf picked up Kanai without hesitation and jumped into the sky. The two figures, one red and one white, quickly became a tiny dot in the sky.

Ibaraki clicked his tongue and grabbed Huang Se's collar with one hand. "Let's go, boy."

Huang Se: "Wait, wait — let me prepare myself, just a moment — Ahhhhh!!!"

"What the hell is Akashiji thinking?"

At the same time, in Teiguang, Daigetsu Aofeng glanced at Akashiji, who was on the phone in the distance. He played with a basketball in one hand and walked around the basketball court in annoyance.

"Didn't the captain of the fire department already tell the principal that it was an accident?

Could it be that he really believes in those crazy swindlers? "

"Ada, you're so rude," May, Peach Well, glared at Qingfeng. "I already said that it's Xiaohuang's friend. Since Akashiji has already admitted it, what are you still arguing about?"

"As for Qing Feng-kun, he probably just doesn't want to admit that there really are monsters in this world." Hei Zizhe also mercilessly exposed his partner.

"Hey, A Zhe!"

The tall boy with wheat-colored skin rushed up and tried to cover Sunspot's mouth. After being deftly dodged, he explained in a loud voice, "It's not just me!

Just based on what Huang Se said, would you believe it?

Do you think May will believe it? "

"What long-haired witch that appeared in an instant? What big monster Gui Nu Red Leaf from the Pingan Jing period? What big blue enchantment? What big monster ghoul murderer? Who would believe it!

If Huang Se is so capable, why didn't he say that the little girl fell from the sky?

Why didn't he say that she also brought an Ibaraki Doji? "

"Me."

"I believe it."

Completely ignoring Qingfeng's stuttering explanation, Sunspot and Peach Well replied to their friends at the same time.

Qingfeng: …

Qingfeng was furious, "May is fine, but A Zhe, what's wrong with you?

Do you have to slap me in the face like this?

Do you really believe Huang Se that much? "

"Speaking of which, I don't believe Kun Hwang."

Sunspot explained calmly, "But if Midori Kun and Akashiji both said so, there should be no possibility of a scam."

"Yeah, Ada, just admit it. You're just afraid of ghosts." Peach Well made a face at Qingfeng.

"May!" Qingfeng's face turned green. "Do I look scared?"

"If you don't believe me, let's make a bet!"

Qingfeng slammed the basketball in his hand in front of his two friends. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "There are absolutely no monsters in this world!

Therefore, that witch is definitely, definitely a liar! "

"If it's true, I'll eat this basketball!"

"On the contrary, if it's fake, May, you're not allowed to complain to my mother in the future. Zhe Ye, you'll cooperate with me obediently. You're not allowed to fight with Huang Se!"

Peach Well and Sunspot were speechless.

Why didn't you just admit that you were afraid of ghosts? Why did you have to court death?

Peach Well was furious. She deliberately raised her chin and said, "Let's make a bet. Compared to you, I believe in Akashiji."

Sunspot: "In that case, actually I also … believe in Akashiji more."

"Let's make a bet."

Before Qingfeng could yell at his two friends, Akashiji, who had been sitting on the other side of the basketball court and staring at something in the sky, suddenly stood up and walked toward the side door where Qingfeng and the others were.

Qingfeng and the others curiously followed Akashiji out of the side door. The first thing they heard was Huang Se's screams in the distance. Then, they saw a silver-haired man wearing ancient warrior armor appear in the sky from afar. He was carrying a familiar figure who was constantly struggling. After a few leaps, he landed in front of Akashiji.

He put the pale-faced Huang Se on the ground, ignored Akashiji, and retreated to the side.

Just as he took a few steps away, a gust of wind blew by. Amidst the fluttering Red Leaf, a girl wearing a white witch costume with a ponytail gently descended from the sky. The moment she landed, she rushed to Akashiji without hesitation and asked Akashiji with a worried and nervous expression,

"… Are you Akashiji?

Has Shintaro finished bandaging his wounds?

Is he okay? "

Peach Well, Sunspot, and Qingfeng: … My friends and I were stunned.

"… Ada."

With great difficulty, Momoi shifted his gaze from the extremely beautiful Miss Miko to Qing Feng. He slowly swallowed his saliva, wanting to say something, but hesitated.

"Lord Qingfeng."

Sunspot turned his head and brought the basketball in front of Qingfeng. With an innocent look on his face, he said, "The basketball is here. How are you going to eat it?"

As a disciple of an aristocratic family, Akashiji had participated in the Shinto New Year's Sacrifice when he was very young.

He followed behind his father and dealt with the patriarchs and heirs of the various great families.

Under the praises of others and his father's gratified gaze, he sat in the seat belonging to Akashiji's family without a change in expression, smiling at everyone who came.

The organizer of the New Year's Sacrifice seemed to be a high priest of the Fujiwara clan from the Ise Shrine. The middle-aged man, who was wearing a complicated ceremonial robe, looked at the aristocratic families with an inexplicable sense of contempt and indifference. Many of the patriarchs, including his father, still bowed respectfully to the priest.

However, that person just waved his hand perfunctorily and didn't even look at his father.

… He disliked that man very much.

He disliked the arrogant Ise Shrine very much.

The smile on the young Akashiji's face gradually disappeared. He stopped smiling and stared expressionlessly at the priest sitting at the head of the table and the people of the Ise Shrine around him.

The child didn't know how to control his emotions. The obvious disgust and annoyance made the surrounding guards and priests, as well as some of the Shinto clans, look unfriendly.

Akashiji Seijuro, who was still a child, felt like he was sitting on pins and needles when he was surrounded by malicious gazes and obvious contempt.

What made him feel even more embarrassed were the whispers of some strangers.

"He's just a nouveau riche."

"Oh, it's that child. Fujiwara-sama saved his life before …"

"He's just a foolish and ignorant child."

"Why don't you think about who's protecting these families …"

Even the man sitting at the head of the table, who was said to be the patriarch of a family of Onmyojis, turned his head as if he was looking at something dirty. He reminded his father of a few words in a neutral tone.

"Fujiwara-sama has a good temper, but the Ise Shrine isn't easy to deal with."

"Akashiji's family, you should remember your place."

The cold and ruthless reminders instantly shattered the child's dignity in his heart. The young master, who had never been insulted and disrespected like this, had his eyes slightly red.

He didn't want his proud father to suffer because of him. Akashiji Seijuro gritted his teeth and endured the extreme shame and humiliation. He planned to stand up and apologize to the Ise Shrine and ask for forgiveness.

"Akashiji Seijuro?"

A gentle female voice suddenly passed through the hall. Like a crisp wind, it blew away all the insults and taunts.

The entire hall suddenly fell silent for a moment. Even the eyes of the Fujiwara sitting at the head of the table moved slightly.

Raising his head with difficulty, Akashiji saw a witch with a high ponytail and a sharp aura smiling at him. He couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"What a good child." The witch sighed sincerely.

With the witch's praise, the whispers around suddenly disappeared without a trace. The people who had just mocked Akashiji and his father seemed to have changed their expressions. They all praised Akashiji with the witch.

Because of a witch's words, he was blessed. The child, who didn't know what to feel, only felt that these people's praise made him feel disgusted. He pursed his lips and forced a smile.

"You seem to be about the same age as my Kanai."

The witch seemed to have noticed his discomfort. As she spoke casually, she pushed a little girl about the same age as Akashiji from behind.

This black-haired and black-eyed little girl was also dressed as a witch. Her somewhat messy hair was tied into a high ponytail. She glanced at Akashiji with a blushing face. Without saying anything, she weakly hugged the witch and went behind her.

"Oh, I thought you didn't like this kind of occasion?"

The witch smiled and pulled the little girl in front of her. "Go out and play with Akashiji's child."

As soon as she said this, the people around her changed the topic and began to pretend to be concerned. They said, "Children will definitely be bored in such a serious occasion." They also recommended their heirs and their clansmen waiting outside the door to the little girl as playmates and so on.

"Father, the witch over there is …?"

While the people around them swarmed over to praise the little girl, the curious Akashiji couldn't help but quietly ask his father.

"…" Akashiji's father looked at the witch with a complicated expression. He turned his head and said coldly to his son, "That's not something you should ask now."

"… Yes."
