School ends at three o'clock in the afternoon, and during the following club activities, the so-called sweat of youth is swayed here.
But whether it was Ye You, Qiong or Kato, they all went home. They said goodbye at the station. When Ye You returned home, she picked up her phone from the window and asked Nagato,
Aozora: Did you find anything
Big Meng God: There is no suspicious person, but there is a little snake.
Little snake
Ye You thought of the shrine on New Year's Eve. He saved a little snake next to the offering box under the rope.
Aozora: Cyan
Big Meng God: Yeah.
Aozora: Where are you now
Big Cutie God: Behind the telephone pole.
telephone pole
Ye You remembers that the sight was felt from that direction.
But since it is it, there shouldn't be any malicious intent.
But if he didn't know the intention of targeting his guy, Ye You was always worried about it, and he felt that it was necessary to make contact.
After thanking Nagato, Ye You waited quietly.
At night, the alleys in the residential area are very quiet. A few scattered street lights cast a white light, dispersing the rich darkness.
A vague black shadow appeared next to the black pillar.
"Come out."
The person who came was Ye You, he said in the direction of the telephone pole.
After finishing speaking, a black shadow snaked out. In the darkness, Amber's pupils radiated golden light, and the small corners on her forehead became more obvious than before.
The little snake circled onto the pole, and its eyes were just level with Ye You's.
"As expected of you, sir. Have you noticed my presence a long time ago?"
Can you actually talk to people? And it’s a very light-hearted female voice.
The first time he heard animals talking, Ye You's face was still expressionless, and he just said coldly: "Why are you following me?"
"Ah, if you want to ask why, it's because my natural skill is tracking." The little snake shook his head and said.
"I'm asking about your purpose."
"I want to follow your lord. To repay your kindness."
The little snake's eyes were sincere.
Ye Youze still has doubts. Are all monsters so innocent
However, the Yonglin medicine seems to be really good. Not only did the little snake get rid of its weak state, but its breath even became stronger.
Kaguya also said that the reason why Eirin's medicine has side effects on humans is because her medicine was originally given to monsters, although monsters also have side effects after taking it.
The little green snake in front of me is probably... a monster
"follow me?"
Ye You hesitated.
He doesn't know much about the habits of monsters in this world. He just heard from hearsay that monsters need to absorb the fear of humans.
It is still unknown whether there will be any hidden dangers if you carry it with you.
You can consult Yakumo Murasaki on this point, she is an expert on monsters.
Seeing Ye You's silence, the little snake's eyes became panicked, and it said: "I am very powerful and can help adults fight."
The little snake said anxiously, wanting to express himself very much.
In an instant, its surface fluoresced, electricity shot out, and penetrated the cement wall behind the electric pole.
Ye You's pupils shrank, and the wall, which was about 20 centimeters thick, was pierced through, leaving a hole the size of an egg.
Ye You approached the wall, touched the hole with his hand, and found that the opening was as bright as a mirror, without the roughness of cement at all, and there was also a slight feeling of heat.
Not penetrated, but melted
The fluorescence on the body just now was actually a flame
Ye You looked at the tip of his hand blankly. It seemed a bit fierce. What is the melting point of cement? About 1400 degrees Celsius.
If it is there, it can be used as Qiong's free bodyguard.
The little snake twisted around leisurely, with hope in its eyes: "Is it okay? Sir."
"Huh? It's okay."
Ye You said calmly.
"Then come with me."
Ye You returned home with the little snake, and the hole left on the wall was discovered the next day. Because of its regular round shape and smooth drill hole, astronomy enthusiasts suspected that there were aliens last night. They fought near here with laser guns, but their memories were erased by the men in black. Soon it became one of the many urban legends like stars.
Sakurasou, in the living room, Qiong looked at the little green snake with interest.
She was originally most afraid of snakes and insects, but this little snake has graceful curves, small crystal bone horns on both sides of its forehead, and its lively eyes are very cute.
She was very curious about small animals that could talk. She squatted in front of the coffee table and asked, "My name is Kasugano Qiong, what's yours?"
"Qing Ji."
The little snake said his name, which made Ye You, who had just come out of the refrigerator with a drink, almost stumble and fall to the ground.
What a yandere!
"What?"
Ye You's reaction was such that both Qiong and Qingji twisted their necks to look over.
"Uh... It's nothing. You said your name is Qing Ji?" Ye You placed the drink in front of Qiong and Qing Ji. Although he didn't know whether the little snake drank the drink, he prepared three cups for the time being.
Qing Ji nodded.
"The Qingji from "The Scroll of the Lost Ghosts of the Present and Past"?"
The little snake nodded again, then shook his head.
"The Qing Ji in "The Scroll of the Lost Ghosts of the Past and Present" is my mother." Qing Ji explained.
"Then who is your father? An Zhen?"
"I don't have a father."
The little snake's answer made Ye You even more confused.
Kiyohime has a specific persistence, and she will value the people she admires more than herself, but because of this persistence, she cannot tolerate lies.
In "The Scroll of the Lost Ghosts of the Present and Past", there is a very handsome man named An Zhen. Qing Ji fell in love with him at first sight and had strong admiration for him. But Anzhen was very afraid of her twisted obsession and lied to avoid it. Later, he was found by Qingji and burned to death in the bell with the fire of anger.
"Although there are some discrepancies in the details, this is roughly what happened in the books."
The little snake said: "I was born from my mother's pure 'love'. It's not love for someone or something, but the longing itself. I am an existence born for love."
"You don't understand? But it feels so romantic." Qiong said, tilting his head.
"It's the crystallization of longing." Qingji seemed to have limited language organization ability and could only explain to this extent.
Ye You remembers that Qingji herself has the blood of a dragon. She transformed into a dragon purely out of her endless persistence for the person she was passionately in love with, and she transformed into a dragon just by relying on her "persistence". In other words, Qingji here is the manifestation of her persistence.
Although she was born out of Qing Ji, she is not the previous Qing Ji, so she calls the original Qing Ji her mother.
However, this is not important.
Kiyohime is a mythical character in Japanese folklore, and is referenced in many works. fgo, Onmyoji.
But the little green snake, dragon attributes, flames, and tracking skills are obviously the attributes of Qingji in the Xingyue world.
Ye You knew that he was in a two-dimensional world.
But he always thought it was a daily episode, but then a ghost appeared, and it was at best a fantasy episode.
But now Kiyohime appears...
"It's probably just a coincidence. The characters are the same but the world view is different. It's normal."
This is by no means some parallel world of Xingyue. Because there is no Fuyuki City here, and there have been almost no gas leaks or gas explosions.
And more importantly, now Ye You has also entered the other world. He was able to assert that there was no 'Great Source' here, the basis for the existence of the magician in the Xingyue World.
