After a moment of commotion, the guests, who probably figured out what had happened, returned to the pavilion.
Yukino Riho hugged Kitagawa Ryoko behind her and whispered a few words of comfort. In the lake outside the pavilion, Takenaka Akihiro, who had been dazed for a while, woke up and started flopping in the water. He pointed upward, his whole face
Twisted Qilai: "You, you, you..."
Fujiwara Izaya looked down and asked word by word: "What am I?"
Takenaka Akihi had a ferocious expression on his face and was about to say something. At this time, Yaeko suddenly intervened and forcibly interrupted the confrontation: "I'm sorry, this ghost tribe has a brain problem. Please ask Fujiwara-kun for the sake of the mountain god to spare him this time."
Bar."
The Mountain God Festival is a festive day.
Making trouble on such a day is indeed disrespectful to the mountain god.
Yaeko's reason was impeccable, and Fujiwara Izaya would not embarrass himself in public. Takenaka Akihi climbed up to the shore of the lake, half of his face was swollen, and left without saying a word.
A small conflict quickly subsided.
The woman playing the piano on the other side also continued to play.
Kawashima Miji and Natsuki Li walked into the pavilion and stood together with Yukino Riho.
Yaeko's eyes accidentally glanced at Kawashima Miki's face, and then returned to Fujiwara Izaya.
"Yes. Fujiwara-kun, you are very powerful." She said with a warm smile, "First there was the bride, and then there was the snow girl. They are all devoted to you. By the way, are you still a member of the ninth class?"
Fujiwara Izaya shrugged his shoulders: "Although I haven't been to class for a day, I am indeed a member of the ninth class."
Yaeko couldn't help laughing loudly: "I said, you are a law enforcer. How can you fall in love with a criminal?"
"Is there any problem?" Fujiwara Izaya asked.
"No problem, I like it too." Yaeko said, snapping her fingers, "It's like a Hollywood movie, police and female criminals, bundles of money and shotguns. I like this look."
"like?"
"As far as personal preference is concerned, it is like this." Yaeko said with a smile, "The forbidden love of two opposing camps is more attractive this way. I am a criminal, but I prefer justice.
What about you, don’t you think this is cool?”
"Are you a criminal?"
"Yes, he and I are both." Yaezi shook his head and pointed at Takenaka Akira.
"Criminals and criminals are not bad either." Fujiwara Izaya thought for a while and continued, "You know "The Mandarin Duck," Steve McQueen's movie. In addition to banknotes and shotguns, there is also a way to escape.
.”
"Looking forward to escaping with Fujiwara-kun, bye"
Yaezi waved his hand, turned and left.
The back view was the same as the one I saw at Shinjuku Station, with long and straight legs.
You can repay the money you owe me with your soul... Fujiwara Izaya thought about his future plan, then turned back to look at the women.
The conflict dissipated as quickly as it started. Yukino Riho and Kitagawa Ryoko were not affected at all, but the girl still had an angry look on her face. When she saw Fujiwara Izaya turned around and came back, she muttered "Thank you."
…”.
The sound was very small. If Fujiwara Izaya hadn't had good hearing, he would not have heard it.
"I can't hear you." He said with a smile.
Kitagawa Ryoko hummed and turned her face to the side.
The girl was not yet seventeen years old at this time. Although she was not as exquisite as Asuka, she was still quite cute.
Thinking of his schoolgirl far away in Tokyo, Fujiwara Izaya couldn't help but laugh and asked her: "What happened just now?"
Kitagawa Ryoko looked up from Riho Yukino's arms and said angrily: "That guy just rushed in and said he wanted Sister Yukino to go with him. What an inexplicable bastard... That guy's head was made to make him look tall enough.
Didn't he just grow up? Don't you see that Sister Xueye is very annoying to him? It's shameless to stalk him. I will leave it to you to deal with this kind of person in the future. It's best not to wait until his mother comes home for dinner tomorrow!
"
"This is too fucking cruel! ...and why did I do it?"
"Sister Xueye is your girlfriend!"
"But didn't you say you want fair competition?" Fujiwara Izaya deliberately teased her.
Kitagawa Ryoko said confidently: "Sister Yukino is your girlfriend when something goes wrong, and it's fair competition when nothing goes wrong."
Judging from this dynamic adjustment of competition, the girl may have thrown away her moral integrity. She is really a cute little girl who knows the current affairs.
"Fujiwara, stop teasing her." Yukino Riho said something and naturally took Fujiwara Izaya's arm, "There was nothing important just now. Don't let it disturb your mood. Let's find a quiet place for a walk."
Her character is so quiet and elegant, and she doesn't like fighting.
Just as Fujiwara Rin thought, he liked her not just because of her beauty.
The group of people left the pavilion and walked towards the lake.
It was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sunlight had begun to fade.
The cherry blossom forest by the lake is very dense. There are two streams connecting the lake and the river. The streams reflect the sunlight and are blurry and dazzling. Walking among the trees with fresh air, you can occasionally hear the sound of shamisen playing, and the sweet sound of silk and bamboo.
, and a female silver bell-like laughter.
At the end of the field of vision, a green space appeared beside the creek, which was the source of the sound.
There was a stage for Noh and Kabuki performances, and there were many seats arranged. A maid dressed as a geisha danced leisurely in front of the guests. After waiting for her to finish her dance, a group of men applauded desperately.
Fujiwara Izaya and his group walked over there chatting and laughing.
The topic of conversation is Yaeko.
"Do you think those hateful men and women are a couple?" Kitagawa Ryoko asked seriously.
"It should just be a partner, right?" Riho Yukino said uncertainly.
"I think they are in the same group. The scumbag bitch is a perfect match!" Kitagawa Ryoko said, and then spoke to Fujiwara Izaya in the same contemptuous tone, "G, scumbag man, you go pick her up.
"
"Um?"
The three people following behind, Kawashima Miji, stared at her at the same time.
For a moment, Kitagawa Ryoko felt a chill inexplicably and couldn't help but shiver.
"Are we going to break them up?" Fujiwara Izaya looked thoughtful.
"That's right,...is that okay?" Ryoko Kitagawa thought about that scene and felt a little expectant.
"It should be no problem. I'm handsome, have a sweet mouth, and am very powerful..."
"Well, pick her up! Train her in front of that Zhuzhong, and then abandon her after she is completely devoted to you, and then abandon her as revenge! She will definitely not be able to leave you at this time, so just let her
She went to work in Kabukicho to earn money to support you."
"What an evil girl..."
"Tch, Liangzi has seen many more evil things than this, without blinking an eye."
"Why don't you do it without blinking?"
"I told you that Liangzi has seen a lot, but you asked me if my eyes are dry?"
Yukino Riho, who was holding Fujiwara Izaya's hand all the way, looked at the two innocent minors with a helpless expression. She could naturally tell that Fujiwara Izaya was having fun with Ryoko all the way, but maybe Ryoko wanted to come.
Really. When she heard Ryoko asking Fujiwara Izaya to pick up the fox, she subconsciously squeezed his palm, implicitly signaling that he couldn't do that.
After Fujiwara Izaya returned her a "reassuring" look, she calmly turned her attention to the performance venue.
The three of them walked to the stream, still thirty meters away from the performance stage, and couldn't stop.
Kitagawa Ryoko squatted down and washed her hands, muttering something like, "That woman must be interested in you or she wouldn't talk to you." When she was so happy, she picked up water from the stream and poured it towards Fujiwara Izaya.
The distance is relatively far, so the water will naturally not be able to splash onto Fujiwara Izaya.
Yukino Riho smiled and pulled Fujiwara Izaya away, scolding the girl with a slightly straight face: "What should I do if my clothes get wet?"
Kitagawa Ryoko stuck out her tongue.
"Let's rest here too." Fujiwara Izaya sat down by the stream.
In the gurgling stream, trays containing wine flow down the stream from time to time, and guests who see it can enjoy it as they please.
This kind of banquet is called Qushui Banquet, which was an elegant entertainment for nobles in ancient dynasties.
People write poems and paintings by the river. The wine glass floats across the river. When it floats in front of them, they pick up the wine glass and drink it down in one gulp, and then continue to write poems and paintings.
Yukino Riho tried the bend and found that the stream was clear and cool.
The weather was still very hot in the afternoon, and the snow girl's body couldn't stand the heat. Soon she carefully took off her shoes and socks, held the skirt of the kimono with both hands and stretched out her legs. Under the bright sunshine, her bare bare feet and white skin were shining brightly.
The slender calves had a charming sheen, as beautiful as withered ice. Before Fujiwara Izaya had enough, she put her feet into the stream.
"Hmm"
Yukino Riho narrowed her eyes and rested her head on Fujiwara Izaya's shoulder.
That expression of enjoyment is particularly cute, like a well-behaved puppy.
"Do you like it here?" Fujiwara Izaya gently hugged her waist.
"I like it very much. There are streams, cherry blossoms, and performances to watch. What do you think?"
“I like it especially this year.”
"Isn't it like this in previous years?"
"You weren't here last year." Fujiwara Lin lay down on the lawn with his hands folded behind his head.
Yukino Riho lowered her head and looked at him: "I will be here every year from now on."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
A little further away by the river, Kitagawa Ryoko's little hands were playing in the water.
Listening to what the two people said, I glanced over from time to time, and my mouth was filled with tears. I felt a little lonely and abandoned in my heart, and a distant song came to my ears along the wind, gentle and beautiful. Kitagawa Ryoko thought of Furukawa.
The companions in the guild hall turned around and walked back the way they came, alone.
"Ah, Ryoko..."
"Let her go back first. You can go find her in the evening."
"That's fine. And don't tease her all the time. She's a very pitiful little girl..."
"Okay, okay."
The sunlight dappled between the shadows of the trees. There was the fragrance of soil and the fragrance of cherry blossoms in the forest. They whispered love words under the cherry blossoms, and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. In the sunshine that gradually became twilight, they lived a beautiful life.
painting.
A few minutes later, Kawashima Meiji and three others also came over.
On the stage among the trees, the performance continues.
There were six or seven geishas dancing in kimonos, and someone was playing a taiko drum next to them. The scene was very elegant, and through the gaps in the green leaves of the cherry trees, you could see the setting sun.
"Keep an eye on Xiaolin tonight," Xia Xili said to the two ladies.
"Why?" Kasahara Fuka-Eri has not yet adapted to her new identity.
"He won't just give up." Kawashima Miji laughed, feeling a little helpless but also a little satisfied. "On the surface, he looks amiable, but privately he is ruthless. The last time the members of the Black Spider Group were wiped out overnight.
Isn’t that enough...I bet he will take action tonight."
When she said this, Kawashima Miji felt very confident.
Because she has experienced it deeply herself.
Back then, she just demolished his shrine, but he imprisoned her and asked her to use her own body to compensate... It was really too bad and too petty.
"That's not possible!" Kasahara Fuka-Eri said, "The fox clan and the ghost clan's joint conspiracy have not yet been investigated clearly. How can we let him kill the suspect?"
"So I need you to keep an eye on him." Xia Xili hinted at her, "As long as you hold him back tonight and don't let him out of the room, he won't have the chance to kill anyone."
Kasahara Fuka-Eri frowned and realized that Xia Xili was tricking her again.
The view in the cherry forest was wide, and when the three girls approached the water's edge, they saw Fujiwara Izaya and Yukino Riho resting on the lawn. They were bathing in the sunshine and talking quietly.
They had lived together for a while and had in-depth exchanges. The relationship between the two was so good that they were about to melt together. Yukino Riho was soaking her legs in the water, enjoying this leisure time and chatting casually: "Today's things can't be tolerated."
Just give it a second, don’t be impulsive."
"Am I trying to endure it?" Fujiwara Izaya squinted his eyes, looking like he was sleeping.
"You obviously look like you want to kill him now, who are you kidding?" Riho Yukino smiled, a very gentle smile. Then she also lay down, her body slightly pressed against Fujiwara Izaya, "Me neither
Holy Mother and so on... It's just that he is a drunkard behind his back. Just listen to me and let him go for now. Anyway, I am yours and I can't run away..."
Fujiwara Izaya turned over and looked into her dark and bright eyes.
These eyes were shining with love, although she didn't understand what love was yet.
"I'm worried that you will be pestered by him endlessly." Fujiwara Izaya gently stroked her cheek, which was a little hot from the sun.
Yukino Riho squinted her eyes, moved her head slightly to find a comfortable position near his shoulders, then closed her eyes and said softly: "I have seen many bastard men in the club over the years. I have experienced this a long time ago."
I have been entangled in the past, I can deal with it. You don’t have to worry about this. If I follow you, I won’t change. No one will get close to Yuki Onna except you. Fujiwara... I am with you now.
I have a surname, and when I think about it, I feel happy...is this considered love?"
Her tone was calm and gentle, with her usual optimism and ignorance.
In addition to her ice-like appearance, she also has many, many things worth caring for in a lifetime. Fujiwara Izaya ran his fingers around her lips, feeling its warmth and softness.
Yukino Riho opened her eyes with a smile: "Itchy."
"But I still want him not to survive today." Fujiwara Izaya said seriously.
"...I won't let you go tonight." Yukino Riho hugged her arm tightly.
Fujiwara Izaya asked with great interest: "Why don't you let me go?"
"You asked knowingly." Yukino Riho's face turned red, and she gently tapped his arm with her forehead.
"What will Ryoko do tonight?" Fujiwara Izaya asked funnyly.
This topic of "how to spread the flower protector so that you can eat me", Yukino Riho would not discuss with him given his personality. She just rested her head on Fujiwara Izaya's shoulder and breathed comfortably.
He smelled his body odor and murmured: "Anyway, I won't let you go tonight..."
The grass is dotted with wild flowers, and the singing voice on the stage is melodious.
Fujiwara Izaya lay down and looked at the sky.
A group of crows flew across the treetops, and the fattest and blackest one among them sat on the branch. Fujiwara Izaya looked at the crows and asked him to arrange the plan for tonight and choose a place to bury the body.
Let Takenaka Akihi go on his own territory?
What a joke.
Letting him die quickly tonight is the greatest mercy of the Mountain God.
As for the conspiracy behind him, there is nothing to worry about. After the death of Takenaka Akihi, isn't there still a Yaeko?
Fujiwara Izaya didn't believe that after killing Akira Takenaka, any organization would cease operations.
"What did you say to Murkrow?"
Hearing his aunt's words, Fujiwara Izaya turned his head and winked at his aunt.
Among so many women, the only one he couldn't hide was his aunt, but her aunt doted on him the most, so he didn't need to explain anything at all.
Xia Xili raised her head and glared at Dark Crow.
The fat crow shivered on the spot, fell from the branch, and splashed into the water with a thud.
In Dark Crow's heart, the young master is the most powerful and greatest, and the young master's aunt is the one who cannot be offended. If he offends the young master, he will at most be expelled from Shenyin Town; if he offends the young master's aunt, he will be expelled from Shenyin Town at most.
It will really turn into a delicious roasted crow.
"Quack--"
Two crows cawed.
After that, Dark Crow, who was loyal to the young master, fled for his life.
Kasahara Fukaeri walked over and looked at Fujiwara Izaya who was lying down. He was wearing a white shirt, his hair was a little messy, and his eyelashes were closed, he looked like a childish boy... No, he was a boy. Kasahara Fukae
He bent down and sat down, not looking at him from the front again.
Kawashima Miji sat down on the other side.
Fujiwara Izaya opened his eyes and looked at her: "The grass is so hard, it gives me a headache when I sleep on it."
Kawashima Miji changed to a kneeling position and patted her thigh: "Come up."
"Oh, I like Mrs. Meiji so much." Fujiwara Lin immediately rested his head on her soft thigh.
Kawashima Meiji narrowed her eyes slightly, reached out and pinched his nose, with a beautiful smile on her face.
There is a bit of naughtiness in the beauty, and there is also a bit of a woman's small-mindedness, a smile that makes people want to hold her tightly in their arms. But Fujiwara Izaya, who can enjoy this smile to himself, just closed his eyes and said: "I
If you're dead, don't talk to me."
"Don't pretend like this." Kawashima Miji pinched his nose hard and asked, "What's going on with Yaeko?"
"What's going on?"
"Are you familiar with her?"
"Not familiar..."
"Then you still chatted so affectionately with her?"
"Where are you making out?"
"If I say make out, make out!"
"...This is the first time she and I have met. Can you please be reasonable?"
"I'm here to marry you, not to reason with you."
"..."
Seeing Fujiwara Izaya's handsome face being kneaded into various shapes by Kawashima Miki like dough, looking aggrieved but afraid to speak, Kasahara Fuka-Eri couldn't help but laugh.
good!
This is how you should be unreasonable when dealing with scumbags.
The light and shadow of the tall trees are moving, and evening is approaching.
The performance over there ended, and many of the guests and the maids who performed kabuki were walking in the cherry trees, and their gorgeous clothes could be vaguely seen through the leaves.
"Should we go have fun?" Fujiwara Izaya stared at the stage and talked to Kawashima Miki.
"Go." Xia Xili took the lead and walked over.
Kawashima Meiji thought for a while and followed.
Of course she knew what Fujiwara Izaya was thinking, he just wanted to see her dance.
Although there will be a grander performance tonight, as the lady of the mountain god, she is naturally not suitable to perform in person, and Fujiwara Izaya has been craving for her to dance for a long time. Anyway, her body will be given to him, so I will take this opportunity to dance.
It's not impossible to show it.
"My wife is becoming more and more gentle!" Fujiwara Izaya ran to the bottom of the stage with excitement on his face.
Riho Yukino picked up the shamisen: "Let me help with the music."
Xia Xili picked up the taiko drum.
"Satsukazekai?" Kawashima Meiji asked.
"Yes."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Kasahara Fukaeri had nothing to do, so she looked around and had no choice but to sit down next to Fujiwara Izaya.
Amidst the gentle classical melody of the shamisen, Miki Kawashima appeared from the side of the stage.
She was wearing a light kimono with a plain base. She had long hair that reached down to her waist, and two white flowers were fixed with ribbons in her hair. This dress neither seemed kitsch nor unsophisticated; she was approachable yet elegant, but her eyes revealed a
A little bit more charming.
"The waves surged to the sky,"
"On the shore of Suma Coast."
"If the moon has love, the moon will also grow old."
"The long sleeves are wet with tears."
In the very quiet and clear singing voice, Kawashima Miji slowly raised her hands and danced Shikoku's "Wind Dance."
The red sun hangs over the cherry trees, the flowing clouds are torn into thin threads by the wind, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the orange sunset shines into the forest, like a psychedelic mist shrouding the sky and the earth.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone in the forest.
The beautiful light illuminates the stage board smoothly and brightly.
Kawashima Miki stepped to the edge of the stage with a graceful dance, and her soft smiling face turned around in front of Fujiwara Izaya. The soft sunset shone on her face, adding a poetic touch. The wrinkles on her kimono,
It was illuminated brightly, as if there was light coming from within.
"To whom will my love and thoughts entrust my desires?"
"The autumn wind knows my heart."
"Don't worry about the seas separating you,"
"You live up to my love."
In the clear and melodious voice of the song, Miss Mei Ke transformed into an infatuated woman. Such words and phrases, enhanced by her beautiful dancing posture and slender waist, made the artistic conception so beautiful that one could even forget to breathe.
As his eyes moved along with her body, Fujiwara Izaya could not help but feel an indescribable sense of elegance. It was as if he were standing in a corner of the royal palace that had been abandoned for a long time, and he could clearly see the buildings that were being beaten by the wind and rain.
Elegantly peeling pieces.
On the stage, Miji Kawashima also put herself into the role.
The floor was smooth and bright under the setting sun, making the golden threads between her blue kimono and red inner skirt shine brightly. Her face was also covered with a layer of beautiful gauze that was like fire, making people enchanted.
.
The sound of the shamisen and taiko drums is like a cheerful stream, flowing continuously.
"Lift up your eyes to the world,"
"It is extremely difficult to endure hardship."
"It's really sad."
"Admiring the bright moon hanging in the sky,"
"The clear light spreads across the world."
"Let's hope the tide arrives soon,"
"Drawing water under the bright moon."
The words and phrases sung by Miji Kawashima tug at the heartstrings of the listener.
Like bursts of drizzle falling on the silent sea, at this moment, an unknown tremor hit the audience. The tips of her toes in white stockings were like seagulls that were not good at walking, and they probed little by little towards her lover.
come over.
Fujiwara Izaya would like to call this: walking beauty.
The figures singing and swaying on the stage are the embodiment of beauty, extremely elegant and sultry.
"With deep love, there is Yuejun,"
"Come with me to return home."
"The moon has half a pair,"
"One pair for each person."
The end of the dance.
Kawashima Miji closed her eyes, and the sunlight reflected her long eyelashes on her cheeks.
She is recalling her past.
From the novelty of the world in the form of a young spider, to the joy of transforming into an adult for the first time; from the endless boredom of learning how to become a human in those years in Shikoku, to the confusion about the future after becoming the empress in Tokyo.
28 years is too short for generalization, but too long for detailed study.
She opened her eyes and looked at Fujiwara Izaya.
There is a sweet and warm emotion in my heart.
In the gentle and intimate atmosphere, Kawashima Meiji threw herself into the boy's arms like her radiant beauty on a clear morning after snow.
※※※※※
Yushan was shrouded in dusk.
Yukino Riho went to find the students of the Furukawa Kaikan to prepare for the evening performance. Natsuki Li led the two ladies back to the inner courtyard of the palace to change clothes.uu Reading www.uukanshu.com Fujiwara Izaya was walking alone in the forest, planning to talk to him
The Dark Crows discuss plans for the evening.
The brightly colored cherry blossom forest gradually melts into the shadows.
Only the slopes near the lake still retain the afterglow of the setting sun.
Fujiwara Izaya was walking when he suddenly stopped.
In front of his sight, there was a woman who seemed to be waiting for someone.
Bright orange flowers bloomed under her feet, and beautiful blue butterflies danced around her.
There is a white deer beside her.
The angle was wrong, and the woman's appearance could not be seen clearly. Fujiwara Izaya could only see the white deer lowering its head to drink water by the lake, while the woman patted the white deer's back gently.
Take a closer look.
She was wearing a crimson kimono with narrow sleeves and her hair was tied into a bun.
A silver hairpin passes through the middle of the bun, and the hanging tassels sway slightly like half a butterfly.
A little closer.
I noticed that her sleeves and the thin belt protruding from her culottes were also red, and her sleeves were very wide. In the evening breeze, the sleeves trembled slightly as if they were flying.
Isn't this Lady Tokiwa in the parade... Fujiwara Izaya walked past her strangely. At this time, Lady Gozen suddenly turned around and said to him: "Come over to me."
Fujiwara Izaya saw clearly her extremely noble and delicate face bathed in the sunset.
This moment.
He felt triple joy.
The setting dusk, the gentle evening breeze, the beautiful woman... Fujiwara Izaya walked over, put his nose close to her ear, smelled and said: "The royal lady smells so good, the butterflies and white deer must be attracted to you.
Yes, right?"
The royal lady gently raised one hand.
Fujiwara Izaya subconsciously held her girl-like tender hand and walked with her under the sunset.
