August 13th, Saturday.

Not long after school started, Yusheng Aikawa ushered in his first long holiday - because of the Bon Festival.

Bon Festival is actually the Ghost Festival. It was introduced to the island country from China during the Asuka Era. Over time, it has gradually become the second largest festival in the island country, second only to the New Year.

Islanders attach great importance to this holiday. People in businesses and companies usually take about a week off, which is called a holiday.

The school is no exception. Mingchuan will be on vacation until the 17th this time and will not start school until the 18th.

"I originally came to play with you, but I never expected that I would help you with a day's work." On the way home, Aikawa Yusheng said to Ying Kongfeng.

"You could have just watched from the sidelines." As if she didn't feel his emotions, the miko lady said unceremoniously.

"How could I just watch my friend suffer alone? How dangerous it is for a girl to go under the knife."

"Oh, thank you." Shangying Kongfeng thanked her very perfunctorily.

"Next time before thanking you, please remove the disdainful 'haha' in front of you."

"Ha." Kamizakura Kongfeng had no intention of 'correcting his mistakes', and even 'provoked' Aikawa Yusheng.

Is it tolerable? Tolerable.

"Is your 'Elf Horse' really usable? Can it bring back the souls of the dead?" Yusei Aikawa asked as we walked home from the tram.

The two of them just returned from Qingming Shrine. During the Bon Festival, whether it is a temple or a shrine, the flow of people will increase greatly and there will be corresponding activities. Qingming Shrine is naturally no exception.

Aikawa Yusheng originally went to find Arc Yue Jingxue, but by chance, she happened to be practicing. When Aikawa Yusheng entered the training ground, he directly triggered Arc Yue Jing Yuxita and left it to him as soon as he entered.

The protective barrier—the entire training ground was trembling.

The miko-sama was originally going to stop practicing and accompany Aikawa Yusheng, but seeing that she seemed to be filled with excitement in her eyebrows and eyes, it seemed that she had made great progress in deducing the technique. Aikawa Yusheng could feel that she was not ready to leave here.

She was a little reluctant to leave.

——A very rare gesture. In the past, such an expression would only be shown to herself, but Aikawa Yusheng was very generous and did not feel jealous of the training platform, and even allowed her to continue practicing.

I am truly a good man.

However, looking at the power of Arc Yue Jingxue's spell, it seems that it has surpassed the last time he [awakened].

It would be bad if he couldn't defeat her at some point.

Anyway, the vacation was still long, so Aikawa Yuo no longer disturbed the miko-sama... so he went to disturb the miko-san.

Shang Yingkongfeng was making an elf horse with some people at that time - a cucumber was cut into a suitable shape, and four bamboo sticks were inserted underneath to serve as legs.

So Aikawa Yusheng stepped forward to help. During the process, he noticed that a priest and witch was performing spells on these elf horses, and the elf horses were the mounts used to take the "dead" home, so he made this inquiry.

"People can't be resurrected after death, and it won't have the effect you said." Shangying Kongfeng shook his head.

"Then why do you need to perform magic?"

"The ones without spells are for tourists, and the ones with spells are for monsters who come to worship." At this point, Kamizakura Kongfeng paused, "There are many monsters imprisoned in the shrine, and the Bon Bon Society

During this period, the monster's descendants or friends can use these elf horses to pick up their souls."

"The co-author is for monsters to visit the prison?" Aikawa Yusheng described it in a dumbfounded way.

Even the physical body still has to be imprisoned.

"almost."

"Can you go upstairs? Do me a favor." When passing by the fourth floor where Aikawa Yusheng lived, Kamizakura Kongfeng said.

"Which one of us will follow whom? Even if I jump from here for you, I won't frown." Aikawa Yusheng immediately put away the key to open the door and followed her upstairs, while pointing to the window in the corridor,

said.

"By the way, what are you busy with?"

"Help me feed Gudong the medicine."

"?"

"You can just wait for me at the door."

At the door of the fifth floor, Shang Yingkongfeng left the door ajar and walked into the room.

Gudong heard the sound and rushed out. He hesitated for a second between master and enemy, and then immediately rushed towards Aikawa Yusheng's shoelaces.

Aikawa Yusheng, who was already prepared, grabbed the back of the neck and hung it in the air.

"Let it go."

"Then what do I feed him?"

"Here you go, Gudong refuses to take it." The girl spread out her palm, with a pill on it.

"Then I'll help you feed it?" Aikawa Yusheng was even more puzzled.

"It refuses to eat. If you pretend to want to eat, then if you drop it on the ground, Gudong will grab the food," the girl explained seriously, "because Gudong always likes to fight with you for food."

"..."

Aikawa Yusheng felt insulted.

Shangying Kongfeng cannot do whatever he wants just because she is his friend.

Is it tolerable? Tolerable.

More importantly, when the pill 'accidentally' slipped from his hand, Gudong snatched it away and ate it instantly.

This once again made Aikawa Yusheng feel insulted!

"Thank you." Shangying Kongfeng said sincerely with a little smile.

"Haha." Aikawa Yusheng said with a cold face.

"Are you angry?" Shangying Kongfeng looked at Aikawa Yusheng in this posture, frowned, and after hesitating for a moment, he bent down slightly: "I'm sorry, I thought you wouldn't be angry, and it wasn't intentional, I just thought

This will be useful. I feed Gudong Gudong and he refuses to eat. I won’t do it next time..."

"No, I just want to experience the feeling of saying 'haha'. Don't say it, it feels pretty good." Aikawa Yusheng immediately put on a playful smile, interrupted the girl's serious apology, and said.

"How could a person like me get angry over something like this? My belly is big enough to support the entire earth." Aikawa Yusheng patted his belly and said with a smile.

Shang Yingkongfeng first sighed, and the worry on the corner of his eyebrows disappeared, and changed into a troubled posture: "Haha."

"Haha." Aikawa Yusheng responded.

"Ah."

"hehe……"

"Goodbye, kuang——" Before Aikawa Yusheng's final voice could finish, there was the sound of closing the door and a girl's voice in front of him.

◇

Lying in his bedroom, preparing for the first monthly test of the second semester, Aikawa Yusheng noticed that the street outside seemed a bit noisy.

Putting down the textbook in his hand, he walked to the edge of the window with some curiosity, opened the curtains and windows, and looked for the source.

It was night time, the moonlight was like cold water, filling the sky, and the street lights on both sides of the road were shining the opposite, warm yellow light.

The source was not difficult to find. At the far end of the road, there was a group of strangely dressed people walking along the road laughing and laughing.

In the front and back of the team, there were people playing musical instruments.

When a child approaches out of curiosity, people in the team will throw out candies and biscuits, and passers-by will also stop to admire or take photos.

As the team gradually approached, Yusheng Aikawa could see more clearly that they were acting as various ghosts.

Classic ghosts such as the Slit-mouthed Girl and the Hundred-Eyed Ghost can still be recognized at a glance.

Some people in the team even openly held up red umbrellas.

A light suddenly lit up below, attracting Aikawa Yusheng's attention. Looking down, he saw Tianhe Xia Li's delicate profile, her snow-white neck slightly exposed, and her beauty reflected in the moonlight.

Seeing that Aikawa Yusheng noticed him, Tianhe Xia Li waved his hand, and the mobile phone with the flashlight function in his hand also shook.

"Don't drop your phone. There are so many people now, it's easy to drop it." Aikawa Yusheng blocked the slightly dazzling light with his hand and said with a smile.

"It's okay, I turned on airplane mode." The girl responded mischievously, put her phone back in the window, and pointed at the team below, "They are parading."

"Yeah, why, you want to go too?" Looking back at the team, Aikawa Yusheng joked with a smile.

Tianhe Xia Li said nothing, looked up at Aikawa Yusheng, blinked, and then retracted into the room.

"..."

Aikawa Yusheng blinked, then sighed, returned to the living room, opened the door ajar, returned to the bedroom, and continued to watch the parade.

After more than ten minutes, the parade was almost gone. Aikawa Yusheng was still thinking about whether there was something wrong with his prediction this time. When he wanted to ask online, there was a sound of the door being opened.

.

"Why didn't you close the door? Why don't you thank me for helping you discover this~" Such a voice came from the entrance while the girl was changing her shoes.

"Thank you." Aikawa Yusheng shouted outside perfunctorily. After thinking for a while, he added a laugh: "Haha."

“Next time before thanking you, remove the disdainful ‘haha’ at the end.”

Hearing this familiar answer, Aikawa Yusheng's lips curved into a genuine smile.

"Can I come into your boudoir?" There were footsteps approaching from outside, and then Tianhe Xia Li said at the door.

"Can't."

"Okay." The door was pushed open directly, and Tianhe Xia Li walked in leisurely, looked around casually, and finally sat down on the bed without ceremony.

It's not the overly attractive translucent pajamas, but a wide short-sleeved shirt, paired with a pair of women's loose shorts, and the snow-white skin generously reveals its charm.

Aikawa Yusheng turned his head, looked at the girl who was flipping over her bed wantonly, shook his head helplessly, and then looked into Tianhe Xia Li's eyes: "What, do you want to inform me of something again?"

"The day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, come with me to participate in the Hundred Demons Night Tour." Not finding anything interesting around, Tianhe Xia Li stopped flipping, raised his head and looked at Aikawa Yusheng, and really used the tone of notification.

, said with a smile.

"Is it like those people who just walked by? This is called Hyakki Night Tour?" Aikawa Yusheng pointed to the position of the window and confirmed.

"Yes, I just checked about this event. It is held by the village here. It will last until next Friday. As long as you sign up and wear ghost makeup, you can participate.

Let’s go have some fun, it’s not interesting to be at home during this holiday anyway, I’m going to be bored to death~”

"Then why not just tomorrow night?" Aikawa Yusheng nodded and asked without any intention of refusing.

"Idiot, you said you were going to play a ghost. I just placed an order for clothes. Although it's a rush order from Tokyo, it's not sure whether it will arrive tomorrow. Even if it does, it will have to be adjusted, so it won't work tomorrow night, too

It’s not fun to be anxious.”

"Have you even decided what to play?" Aikawa Yusheng blinked and pointed to his chest: "First tell me what kind of monster you are playing."

"You're not a monster, of course I want you to play god!" The bright smile on the girl's face gave Aikawa Yusheng a bad premonition.

"I really want to thank you, but let me confirm first, what god?"

"Inugami." After finishing speaking quietly, Tianhe Xari obediently waited for Aikawa Yusheng's feedback.

"...I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I seemed a little busy those nights, so I probably won't be able to participate in this event."

Aikawa Yusheng rolled his eyes and said sincerely, what happened tonight, he and Gudong were in trouble, right?

"What are you busy with?" There was a smile in the girl's voice.

"Probably busy...busy...probably I will get seriously ill during those nights and have to rest at home."

"Okay, no, you'll know in a few days, it won't be that bad!" The girl's smile looked like she had succeeded in a prank, so white and round that she could be mistaken for a jade foot, hanging gently on the bed.

Side shaking.

"'It can't be that bad.' Your description is already bad enough." His eyes stayed on the girl's legs for a few more seconds, Aikawa Yusheng said.

"By the way, then should we call Miyazawa-san and Takamatsu?" Aikawa Yusheng suddenly thought of this and said.

I haven't forgotten about him at this time, so I must tell him properly. If Takamatsu Junshan was more sensible, he would treat me to snacks for a month.

"Miyazawa went back to her hometown to worship her ancestors. Why would she come back to play like this? Otherwise, I wouldn't be so bored."

In the island country, the Bon Festival also plays a role similar to the Qingming Festival. Because the Bon Festival is closed, many people have the opportunity to go home and choose to worship their ancestors at this time.

Rest in peace Takamatsu, there is nothing I can do.

"That's it, okay." Aikawa Yusheng nodded, "Then choose the night of the 15th or the 17th. I will go to Qingming Shrine on the 16th. I have already agreed with Arc Moon Mirror before."

"Okay, then it depends on when the clothes and props will arrive. If it's early, it will be on the 15th, if it's late, it will be on the 17th." Tianhe Xia Li nodded.

"Um."

The last trace of the queue outside the window also disappeared at the end of the road, and the noisy sounds gradually disappeared. There was nothing to see anymore. Aikawa Yusheng closed the curtains and looked at the person who was already lying on his bed. He took out his mobile phone and started playing.

Tianhe Xia Li raised his eyebrows:

"What are you doing."

"Are you stupid? You're just playing with your phone." Miss Youkai didn't even want to give Aikawa Yusheng a serious look. She shook her legs casually and shook the slippers on her feet to the ground.

"The beds you boys have are actually very soft. I've never heard of them before. They all sleep on beds like stones."

Then the whole person moved to the position where Aikawa Yusheng was just now - there was an upright pillow behind his back, and he leaned on it comfortably.

"I heard it's very good. I'd better not hear about it again in the future."

What was not ladylike at all was that Tianhe Xia Li crossed her legs and swayed up and down as if doing nothing.

It is inevitable that people will focus on her feet again.

The feet are slim and delicate, smooth and white, the toes are slightly tilted, the instep is white and almost transparent, and the cyan blood vessels on it are clearly visible.

I always feel that...such feet, whether covered with black silk or white silk, can only be called embellishments.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm afraid your feet are too smelly and will pollute my bed."

"Go to hell!"

"My feet! They smell so good!"
