Chapter 9: In Front of Qianbird Abyss
Yuan Qingsu raised his phone, aiming it at the divine forest on the riverbank.
Countless pink divine energies supported between heaven and earth, spreading like giant waves, and in an instant, the sky turned pink
Alright, alright. Yuan Qingsu took a photo.
This is truly abnormal
On that handsome and clear face, one can indeed see a lingering attachment to life and a fear of the future
Ji Gong Shiliu Ye handed her phone to Yuan Qingsu, then raised a round fan to cover her face, standing under the cherry blossom tree, her face turned towards the sunlight—she had already struck a pose
is a good person
Yuan Qingsu took a deep breath, calming herself while feeling a slight thrill
It is perverse
How do fireworks appear when viewed from below? Or how do they look when viewed from the side?
You have suddenly become interested in women, which troubles me greatly; please hold on until after my death
Is this the divine witch Ling? He curiously reached out to touch the ribbon.
Hello! Due to the operation of the inn, my mother's voice has been lively since early morning
"Can you not stand so close?" Yuan Qingsu dodged slightly, not wanting to come into contact with this woman who felt very dangerous.
The common attire transforms into various ancient garments, including armor, hunting clothes, and single-layer garments
The sunlight shone upon her, illuminating her ethereal beauty, as if she were a fairy descended to the mortal realm
... ...
Qianbird Bay is one of the moats surrounding the residence of the Grand Duke, named for its surface resembling a thousand birds flapping their wings, ready to take flight
It seems that the condition is quite good, as you can still say these things
The bride's dress is quite beautiful. Jiguang Shiliuye did not care at all about Yuan Qingsu's reaction and spoke to herself.
"Thanks to her? What happened? Hurry up and tell me!" Ji Gong Shiliuye was very familiar, as if they were friends who had not seen each other for many years
It was as if the world had suddenly shrunk; he was inside a box, with an eye pressed against the box, staring at him without blinking
In the evening, carrying a water bucket home, eating boiled edamame at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, and also planning to watch the fireworks display
"Please let the newcomers cut the cake of happiness!" shouted a person dressed as a master of ceremonies with great enthusiasm
The secret realm of Baishan Shrine is built on the mountain
Open 'Recently Deleted' and delete again
Miss Shenlin, if you participate in the beauty pageant today, I guarantee that you will receive as many votes as there are people in this world
Come, smile!
On the way to the Baishan Shrine, he made a phone call to his mother who was far away in Shikoku
However, "the source of clarity in my eyes flickers; the more I fear something, the more it can sharpen me; the more I experience fearful things, the higher the realm of life becomes. I want to see how far I can go in this lifetime and what kind of realm I can ultimately reach"
After a week of blooming, the cherry blossoms in Tokyo have finally reached full bloom, painting the city in shades of pink. Grab a bento, bring your family, and enjoy a meal under the cherry trees
He is truly a good person
Hey, are you ready! Ji Gong Shiliuye has been posing, her face not looking this way, seemingly intending to create a candid shot effect.
In the moat, there are tourists either rowing or pedaling swan boats
"It is impractical to discuss these matters now," Yuan Qingsu suddenly changed the subject, "I only want to make money at this moment"
Next time you come to Tokyo, I will take you around, let you try Akamon Ramen, and then we can go see Tokyo Tower
He surveyed the riverbank all around.
I hope I can live to see that time. He put away his phone and looked again at the 400-meter cherry blossom avenue, "Why hasn't it started yet?"
They are a group of shikigami whose words and actions are in perfect harmony, very adorable
Middle-aged couples walking side by side, young lovers, and same-sex friends
I would like to go fishing on the breakwater at my doorstep this summer
Is it with a girl? The mother's tone was drawn out for a long time
You will soon be able to see the monster
Under the morning sun, the vast expanse is dyed crimson, overflowing with colorful radiance.
No need, the organization has everything.
"You can't touch?" Yuan Qingsu touched it twice before retracting his hand, "I apologize"
Do not be anxious, six years of medical school, plus this year, you will still have to support me for four more years
Shenlin Yuko recalled the temperament of Minamoto Kiyosumi; Himegumi Tokisaki looked at Minamoto Kiyosumi with a smile, seemingly in admiration.
The two priestesses fell into silence.
Finished, she also said to Yuan Qingsu: "You are allowed to keep this photo, use it as wallpaper, or for some colorful matters."
Unlike usual, she draped a ribbon in the crook of her arm, the ribbon shimmering brilliantly, as if golden rays were gathering, floating around the divine forest princess
"Click," she took the liberty of using Yuan Qingsu's phone to take a group photo of the two of them
This is abnormal
Are you not afraid of death
How could you raise such a son!
Jigong Shiliuye approached cheerfully, as if she were quite familiar with Minamoto Kiyosumi, leaning in to look at the phone.
"Are you always this infuriating?" Shendai Yuko looked at him
I am terrified, so scared that I could die, and I even called my mother this morning
Set
The two individuals descended the mountain, treading upon the mottled light and shadow that filled the stone steps
昂ーー
The texture is exceptionally smooth, and on this cold early spring morning, there is also a sense of warmth, truly an extraordinary thing
I joined the school's kendo club and wear sportswear during training
He gazed at the 400-meter cherry blossom avenue, as if surveying the path of life that he could not foresee.
Yuan Qingsu and Shenlin Yuko stood under a cherry blossom tree, and before them, on the riverbank, were fields of golden rapeseed flowers
Matsuo Basho's haiku states: Beneath the tree, vegetable soup is served, as cherry blossom petals drift down
On April 6, the cherry blossoms in Tokyo reached full bloom
"Huh?" Yuan Qingsu looked at Shenlin Yuzi with confusion, while Shenlin Yuzi looked straight at him with a raised eyebrow.
昂ーー
The originally leisurely scene of flower viewing has, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a realm of demons.
He remembered what she had said again.
Although he is full of nostalgia for life, he never thought of running away, and he has no regrets about meeting Shinrin Yuzi.
Well, actually... I plan to skip class today
Someday, someday...
Is it possible?" Yuan Qingsu retorted.
Following the sound, it turned out that someone was holding a wedding ceremony
Then let's go to Shinjuku
Countless flashes, twinkling stars competing to light up.
The lens is empty, without her sacred figure, only the crowd in the distance.
At that moment, a deafening roar suddenly echoed, shaking the earth and mountains
A three-meter giant with bull horns, a flying man with eagle wings, a more than ten-meter-long python, a shark poking its head out of the Qian Bird Abyss, and various strange shikigami appeared in the divine light of the formation.
A middle-aged woman taking a photo with an uncle who is taking pictures of flowers.
They are all in the cabinet in the attic, I will go look for them later. What do you need the sportswear for
In her conception, what is money?
Yuan Qingsu glanced at the ribbon floating beside her.
Thanks to Miss Shenlin's blessing, now I see everyone as a sign of good fortune. I can't even see beautiful women with my eyes anymore.
I also want to know why it needs to be deleted he said while stepping aside and looking at Shinrin Yuko
No! I just want to meet the girl who made my son skip class to go see the cherry blossoms together
Yuan Qingsu thought for a moment, as long as it is a girl, it does not matter whose photo it is, it cannot be taken back
Various divine powers are resplendent, forming a formation
This was the longest conversation since Yuan Qingsu came to Tokyo, chatting with her mother all the way to the station until the train arrived at the platform
Little butterfly, "Yuan Qingsu looked at them and spoke softly, "After this battle, once I have the money, I will buy you grapes."
Along the winding moat, cherry trees stretch endlessly on both banks, their branches laden with blossoms, with hundreds and thousands of cherry blossoms, piled and layered, resembling a sea of clouds
If you need anything, tell your mother
The world is bustling, the cherry blossoms fleeting in an instant, yet in this moment, we are together.
The sky is filled with cherry blossoms swirling in the air, once again a scene of cherry blossom blizzard
"I received it, and they all said it was very impressive." I heard my mother's proud laughter
For instance, a woman with horns, a woman with wings, a woman with a tail, don't you want to touch them and see for yourself
Jigong Shiliuye also looked towards Shenlin Yuko
This seems like a questioning from a girlfriend who is angry, and perhaps it is due to the other party's powers far exceeding his own, which makes Yuan Qingsu feel somewhat eerie
Arrived
The roars rise and fall.
Heaven and Earth deities, illustrious and powerful spirits, come forth!
Array formation
A young woman eating sakura dumplings under a blue waterproof cloth
Upon closer inspection, it was the delicate and innocent exquisite little face of Jiguang Shiliuye.
"It looks good," he said
Mom, it's me
"Then, why did you delete my photo?" Himegami Shizuku leaned in very close, so close that Minamoto Kiyosumi could see himself in her eyes
Shenlin Yuko discerned his anticipation and said: "Excitement can provide one with strength, but it can also present opportunities for the enemy. Be mindful to maintain a balance between excitement and calmness"
"Well, let's say it's considered so," Yuan Qingsu said with a smile.
Sitting on the picnic blanket, the whole family stood up one after another, holding knives, guns, and swords. The last person lifted the picnic blanket, and with a "swish," it turned into a shield.
People around them, attracted by her beauty, looked at them strangely, unable to see Shen Lin Yuzi.
Yuan Qingsu remembered it. This woman approached him precisely because he was not interested in women.
I will certainly not be polite
Fireworks Display... I have not yet had the opportunity to go and watch it hand in hand with my girlfriend wearing a yukata.
Yuan Qing looked over, the bride wore long wedding gloves on both hands, a silver crown on her head, and a high, fluffy white gauze skirt.
Yuan Qingsu was about to accuse Shenlin Yuko of greed when a loud voice suddenly came from a distance
Yuan Qingsu suddenly turned around, and the four-hundred-meter cherry blossom road was like a giant python lifting its head, slowly raising its upper body.
What Tokyo Tower, you know I'm afraid of heights, don't you?
Well, now let us all present here share this happiness together. Let us open our mouths wide and say, "Ahーー!"
That depends on whether they are willing or not. By the way, did you receive the letter I sent back? There are photos of the new campus inside.
Twenty years old is not too late
Although Bai Zi has a bit of a bad temper, he is very loyal. I wonder if in the future, I will be able to have such a spirit as my shikigami.
Ji Gong Shiliu Ye disregarded him, snatched his phone, and aimed it at the two of them
At this moment, suddenly realizing how much life is worth cherishing.
After watching the news from the Meteorological Department, Yuan Qingsu put down her phone, picked up the tennis bag with "Polaris" on it, and took a deep breath.
Many tourists act as temporary guests, watching the well-matched bride and groom with blessings.
Ji Gong Shiliuyue looked back and forth at the two, curiously asking: "Are you a couple?"
The next generation of Pokémon is about to be released, I haven't watched the new movie yet, and I haven't had enough of the delicious food.
"You look quite photogenic, but not as good as I do." After saying this, the person took someone else's phone and started taking selfies for themselves.
Shenlin Yuko smiled silently, beautiful like after the rain, as a beam of light broke through the dark clouds, illuminating the pure white magnolia flowers drenched by the rain
"Why are you excited?" Jiguang Shiliuye curiously stared at Yuan Qingsu
Is it cherry blossoms
It can enhance knowledge and insight, allowing life to possess more possibilities
Skipping class
What is it, silly! Haha~ A laughter like silver bells, a head with jet-black hair leaned over, blocking Yuan Qingsu's view as she looked at her selfie on the phone
Turning her head, Yuan Qingsu looked towards the direction of Shinjuku Gyoen in the west. A giant bird made of cherry blossoms spread its wings, and from its huge beak, it also spewed out the pink divine energy.
Among these ordinary tourists, with careful observation, one can perceive the divine power resonating within their bodies
Well, skipping class to see the cherry blossoms
Hmm? What is it?" On the other end of the phone, my mother's voice softened as well
"Where is Bai Zi?" Yuan Qingsu looked around but did not see the girl in military uniform
Yuan Qingsu deleted the photo in front of them and then showed them the interface
Shenlin Yuko looked over, and the little butterfly people also peeked out from her hair
I am also a truly brave person, right? Yuan Qingsu tightly clutched the "Polaris" in the tennis bag.
This is a 400-meter long cherry blossom road
Today, Shenlin Yuko is still wearing the red and white miko outfit, with magnolia flowers depicted on the sleeves
"So foolish, I absolutely will not invite such a host for my wedding in the future," Jiguang Shiliuye advised Yuan Qingsu.
It is about to begin
A young man dressed as a samurai taking photos by the riverbank
A good person
Out of money?
In fact, I am quite aloof. If you walk with me around the school another day, you will understand. The main reason is—
From the hair of Shenlin Yuko, several small heads emerged, which were none other than the butterfly little people
Many girls are looking this way, pretending to take pictures of the flowers, but in fact, they are photographing Yuan Qingsu.
They appear smaller than usual, hidden within the hair and invisible.
In the eyes of the crowd, only Yuan Qingsu is visible, while the shrine maiden dressed as Shinrin Miko remains unseen
Yuan Qingsu stood motionless, gazing at the 400-meter cherry blossom avenue, yet his heart was surging with emotions
◇
Do you need money? Do you need to buy a kendo uniform, as well as a wooden sword and protective gear?
Unlike the fragrances of cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers, it penetrates into Yuanqing's nose
The crowd instinctively avoids her, and on the crowded riverbank, it is not considered strange that a space has been left empty.
Even without putting in effort, I still look so good! It seems that wasn't enough, so she added another remark, How can I be so good-looking!
昂ーー
The approach is a downhill stone path, flanked by stone lanterns, guardian lion statues, and a water purification pavilion
Once again, there was a roar
Yuan Qingsu suddenly recalled the weapon mentioned by Kamishiro Miko during the registration at the Yin-Yang Lodge
The coastline is shrouded in this boundless sea of flowers, and the crowd of flower admirers within it seems to be swimming in a floral ocean
昂ーー
The beast roars one after another, colossal monsters appear in succession, turning the entire Tokyo into a paradise of monsters
The host spoke of wedding customs that Yuan Qingsu had never heard of before
Giving up the chance to live, choosing to participate in the expedition against monsters, now, does she share the same deep attachment to life as he does
Oh dear, it's just looking at the cherry blossoms, not even with friends!
The tram swayed, and the magnificent white cherry blossoms outside reminded Yuan Qingsu of Kamiyama Miko
The flowers are in full bloom!" shouted the girl rowing in the moat excitedly
A truly courageous person is not one who is unafraid of death, but rather one who is filled with a deep affection for life and still chooses to face challenges head-on
Yuan Qingsu said this, and both Shenlin Yuko and Himegami Tokiya turned to look.
Fool, don't just stand there foolishly, hurry up and take a picture for me
Today, she wore a vibrant long-sleeved kimono, wrapped in a mink shawl, resembling a girl attending the March 3rd coming-of-age ceremony
Shenlin Yuko glanced and said: "Recently deleted."
However, Shinrin Yuko utilized his affairs, and he remembered them more deeply
The groom and bride kiss—" Amidst the roar of the monstrous beasts, the officiant shouted loudly
"Pray for me in this temple." The two stood in front of the divine gate, conversing, as Shinrin no Miko stepped forward and walked along the approach towards the torii gate
What use is it for you to discuss it with your husband and then tell me? By the way, a shrine maiden's marriage should be a ceremony before the gods, right? However, shrine maidens can marry...
"What do you mean by 'messing around' and 'making money'?" Perhaps the topic shifted too quickly, and Ji Gong Shiliuye was momentarily taken aback.
However, the longest they have known each other is just three days
The groom feeds the bride, promising to provide for her without worry for a lifetime
It seems that a group photo cannot be taken. Yuan Qingsu glanced at Shenlin Yuko, took out her phone, and took a selfie with the riverbank, cherry blossoms, and rapeseed flowers as the background
Yuan Qingsu paused his laughter, and after a moment of silence, it was as if he had returned to his childhood, calling out: "... Mother"
Shenlin Yuko also gazed at the joyful wedding scene, lost in thought.
The long, flowing strands appear to be a condensation of sunlight, yet they exist in reality when touched
The mother and child both smiled at the same time
As if the heavens were about to roar down, the giant python formed by the 400-meter cherry blossom avenue opened its mouth and unleashed a surge of pink divine energy that soared into the sky, creating a massive beam of light that shattered the white clouds
Kiss one! Kiss one! The guests cheered and applauded
Girl
A discarded camera transformed into a handheld cannon, and three young individuals immediately gathered behind him
The groom and bride feed each other the first bite ceremony
It is not easy for your mother to earn money, so you should be a bit more polite to me. You are already twenty years old, yet you still expect me to support you
The tram clattered along, advancing on the tracks without the slightest hesitation
... ...
"How is that possible?" After saying this, Yuan Qingsu regretted it; he should have taken the opportunity to ask for a little something. "Mom, can you help me send over my high school gym uniform? You can still find it, right?"
Today we only speak of poetry and flowers
Yuan Qingsu was filled with strength all over, and his face was full of fighting spirit
The couple on the river jumped into the water, and in the blink of an eye, they emerged wearing armor of water's hue, once again leaping out of the river, their bodies radiant with the divine power of water, standing upon the surface of the river
This path is enveloped by a protective forest, featuring oak trees, beech trees, chestnut trees, and so on. It is lush and verdant, entirely composed of undeveloped primary forest
The bride feeds the groom, promising to prepare delicious meals for you in this life and the next
What does it matter if we meet again
Remember the photo! Mother lowered her voice, accompanied by a sly laugh
