Although Zhu Yue looks like a child, the incredible thing is that her smile is far from innocent.
Is this also because he is not an ordinary person?
"Then why did you suddenly come out again?"
"I hate it. My existence has been exposed. I don't need to be sneaky anymore, right?"
So decided to come out as I wanted. This is what Zhu Yue said.
Needless to say, Theon held his head.
"Well, that's the kind of person you are..."
"Hey, don't beg me like this again from now on!"
"No, what are you talking about! It definitely won't work!"
Zhu Yue said lightly, but Chun Ma was the first to take a bite.
"Can't you?"
"Of course! There's a problem with Theon alone. If he also wanders around other than unknown places, it will be troublesome!"
Zhu Yue's expression was as awkward as that of an innocent child, but this kind of deception against Haru Jian would not work.
"Speaking of which, Theon! Shouldn't you be the one to stop it here?"
"...Because it's about ghosts, even if I stop him, he won't listen."
"Sass is Master Xion! You really understand me!"
"Don't give up︎"
Hjalmar grabbed Theon's collar and shook his head vigorously, but Theon smiled calmly and optimistically.
Zhu Yue burst out laughing when she saw this scene, and this unspeakable situation was formed.
"…Crap. It's like Theon increased to two."
"Is there anything more troublesome than this?"
"Hahaha……"
Xion alone has already tormented Natsumi and the others a lot, but this willful existence that even Xion wanted to give up has recently joined this "ecstasy soup".
"(And, it seems like I'm playing...)"
Natsumi always felt that. This ghost named Akatsuki seems to enjoy the reactions of Haruma, Natsumi and other people around him.
I think Xion also teased opponents like Natsumi who reacted well... I always felt that it was not surprising that two similar people would do similar things.
"(This may be the guy who Xiaojing and her brother will suffer again...)"
Natsumi could only smile dryly when she thought about the future of her brother who was not here.
The noisy conversation between Xi En, Chun Ma, and Zhu Yue also ended in one way or another. The exhausted Chun Ma suddenly collapsed on the sofa and exhaled a long breath.
"Do I have to face these two people in the future..."
"The monk in Spring is so stupid. He becomes like this just because he takes people like us seriously."
"Okay, okay, Zhu Yue, shut up."
Zhu Yue giggled, and Theon quickly stuffed the cookie into his mouth. But Zhu Yue's words seemed to reach Chun Ma's ears, and she received Chun Ma's stern gaze.
"No matter who the other person is, you can treat them well. I think this is an advantage."
"Even if you say it here, I won't accept it obediently..."
Facing Xion's suspicious smile, Haruma seemed not to even be angry anymore. He took a sip of coffee silently and suddenly looked at Zhu Yue again as if he remembered something.
"Speaking of which, what exactly is Zhu Yue?"
"What did you say?"
"It's said to be a ghost sealed by 'Yuesha', but what happened to being sealed by a sword?"
In this way, Natsumi and the others knew nothing about Zhu Yue except for Xion's rather rough explanation.
Leaving aside the fact that Natsumi and Haruma were born in Turtle Country, Les and Lina probably don’t understand the concept of “ghosts” at all.
"Ah...it's just an explanation, but I don't know the specific situation."
"Are you an accomplice to someone like that?"
"Let nature take its course. Although I am an accomplice, this guy probably only thinks of me as someone who can give him magic power."
"Hey, don't I look like a waste?"
"Are you right? To put it more simply, it's a rope, a rope."
This kind of joking conversation seems casual, but in fact, Xion is quite serious when he calls Zhu Yue a pretty boy.
In Natsumi's opinion, Aster and Zhu Yue have quite similar personalities, words and deeds, but their relationship may not be very good.
"Is the relationship between the two worse than we thought?"
"The relationship is not very good, but the ideas and rules are very consistent."
“Because we’re in a relationship that exploits each other, and I like that.”
Regarding Lina's direct question, both of them gave the same answer. Both of them asserted that "although they don't hate each other, they can't be good friends", which sounds really incredible.
"Are you the kind of person who hates your own kind?"
"Don't you think so?"
In response to Chunma's question, Xien tilted his head, while Zhu Yue leisurely drank the green tea that had been prepared for some time.
"No, 'Sons of God' and 'Ghosts' cannot be of the same race. Our one is that one."
Zhu Yue hesitated, not knowing what to say, and pointed at Xion.
"It's just because both of us are convinced that 'this man will betray me one day', so we don't dare to take it lightly."
"Ah, indeed."
"go……?"
The two parties involved had happy expressions on their faces, but the people listening could not understand them at all.
"Because I'm convinced you're going to betray me? I won't forgive you. Are you getting your act together?"
"Calm down Lacey. ...It's not just you, we don't know too much."
It's easy to understand that Leith's shoulders were in confusion, and Haruma shook her shoulders, but in fact Haruma must also be in confusion. The same goes for Natsumi and Lina.
"Well, everyone may not understand, but we are really just interested."
"The fate between two people will be broken as soon as it ends. However, I don't want to kill the other person when the fate is broken."
Natsumi thought, was this kind of relationship really good, but they were both calm and didn't seem to have any particular doubts.
At this point, even though I knew I couldn't point fingers at Natsumi and the others, I still couldn't help it.
Natsumi's confusion seemed to be written on her face, and Xion scratched his head in confusion.
"... To be honest, you may not know that Zhu Yue is a 'ghost'. He is the easiest to understand 'bad thing' in the Turtle Kingdom, and it is fundamentally different from human ethics."
As Xion spoke, he pointed at Zhu Yue as if guiding Natsumi and the others’ gaze.
"With this seemingly harmless appearance at first glance, a ghost is a ghost. It eats people, destroys villages, steals treasures, and spreads diseases. But that's basically not considered a bad thing."
What Natsumi thought was unimaginable, Xion said as a matter of course.
Zhu Yue, who was now considered a dangerous existence, did not deny it, but just smiled.
"So I don't believe him because I don't know what will happen if I believe him accidentally."
"Even so, I will not let Master Xion see my flaws. Faced with such a brat, I know that he will kill before being killed, and I also know that he will be indifferent to people he doesn't like. He who hesitates to kill.”
"…If Theon believes in you, will you also believe in Theon?"
Zhu Yue's words also sounded like he was saying that Xion might kill Zhu Yue so he wouldn't reveal any flaws.
So Natsumi thought, if it were the other way around, Zhu Yue's answer would also change. Hearing Natsumi's question, Zhu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed with a unique sound.
"If Master Xion was so full of loopholes, he would have been eaten long ago..."
Laughing, Zhu Yue boldly grabbed a piece of cookie and put it into her mouth, making a loud noise while chewing it.
That savage behavior coupled with what he just said aroused Natsumi's fear.
"Natsumi's daughter, I won't say I'm sorry to you. You can't confide in a ghost easily. A beauty like you will be scolded soon."
Zhu Yue, who was still smiling, spoke as easily as a joke.
The crimson pupils exposed between the narrowed eyes hide the sharpness of a predator that preys on the weak.
Natsumi couldn't move like a frog stared at by a snake, and Akatsuki stared at her.
The tension of almost forgetting to breathe was interrupted when Xion's hand covered Zhu Yue's eyes.
"Zhu Yue, your threat is a bit too much."
He gushed out these words more out of helplessness than anger.
"What's going on? It's what Xion planned to tell you later, right?"
"Even so, don't you need a declaration like "I want to eat you"?"
Zhu Yue seemed to be a little dissatisfied and grabbed Xion's hand, and then let go of his hand. The atmosphere at this time was far from the terrifying atmosphere just now. The relaxed atmosphere when chatting with Xion returned.
