"I finally brought it back."
In the afternoon, after school, Gu Yun was entrusted by Sanae to prepare textbooks for the new semester, and the reward was the bread that was not delicious.
Gu Yun refused and expressed his willingness to work for free.
Then Sanae looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Xiao Guyun, don't you like the bread made by the teacher?" '
The pitiful expression is not only not pretentious at all, but is actually so cute!
If he hadn't known that Sanae didn't have any tea skills, Gu Yun would have suspected that she was a master of tea skills.
"Long wait, Nao-san."
"Are you helping the teacher?"
"Um."
Hayasaka Nao now not only sends Gu Yun to school, but also takes him home.
As a steward, cultivating heirs is a top priority and cannot be neglected.
In many things, when it comes to Gu Yun, Hayasaka Nao almost does it personally, striving to achieve perfection.
"That, Nao-san."
Gu Yun took a look at the sky. The sun was setting in the west, and the dusk glow dyed the sky red. It was what the Japanese call the time to encounter a demon.
"Master?"
“I don’t want to go home just yet.”
At this time, coupled with Gu Yun's age, Hayasaka Nao was a little confused and didn't know where he was going.
"Suddenly, I want to take a look at this year's maple leaves."
"Master, it's March now."
"Three points of maple leaves," Gu Yun looked into Hayasaka Nao's eyes through the rearview mirror: "Don't you think it's also very artistic?"
“…..”
Hayasaka Nao sighed and started to drive off: "I'll just take you with me, young master. Please don't say anything weird again."
"That's right, haha."
Gu Yun scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Just kidding, take me to the nearest park with maple leaves, Sister Nao."
Hope Park is lined with red maples and the sunset gives it a unique feel.
The only problem is that it's a little too quiet.
There was nothing that could be done about it, because Gu Yun always walked to places with fewer people, and before he knew it, there were only the two of them left around.
"Master, there have been bad rumors around recently. If possible, we should go home early."
Hayasaka Nao is not only full of knowledge, but also received a lot of physical training.
Not only that, she was actually equipped with a firearm.
But that so-called rumor really made Hayasaka Nao a little confused.
"Bad rumors?"
"It seems like a human trafficker."
Whether in his past life or this life, Gu Yun has zero tolerance for human traffickers who specialize in abducting children.
"The other party hid his identity and traces, pretended to be a crack girl, and abducted and harmed nearby primary school students."
"Slit girl?"
The Slit Girl is an urban legend in Japan. She looks like a woman wearing a big coat, a scarf, a pair of scissors, long hair, and a mask.
She would ask children coming home from school: “Am I beautiful?”
If the answer is 'beautiful', she will take off the mask and ask again: "What about this?"
If the child answers "not beautiful", she will kill the child with a sickle or scissors; if the child answers "not beautiful", she will cut the child's mouth open to make him as beautiful as herself.
No matter what choice you make, the children who meet the cleft girl will be harmed.
"With the recent economic downturn, some people are desperate. It's not surprising that they choose such crooked ways."
Hayasaka Nao doesn't believe in things like monsters and ghosts. She thinks this is someone abducting children rather than monsters causing trouble.
'The cracked woman sounds like a demon. '
Grandpa gave Gu Yun a book that recorded a large number of monsters.
Relying on his photographic memory, Gu Yun memorized the entire book. When he heard about the cracked girl, the record of this kind of monster immediately appeared in his mind.
The legend of the slit girl first appeared in Japan during the Kansho period (1460-1466). It is a ghost story in the Shinjuku area of Edo.
Books record that the head of the Daikokuya on Kojimachi 12-chome Street had a servant named Gonsuke.
One day, his master sent him out, and when he came back, it was almost dark, and the trouble was that it started to rain heavily again.
Kwonsuke hurriedly stepped up his pace, and suddenly saw a woman walking in front of him who was all wet.
'If you don't mind, let's take an umbrella and go together. '
Kwon's assistant came forward to talk to her, but he saw that the woman was disheveled and had a bloody mouth on her face that was split to her ear. He was so frightened that he fled in a hurry.
"Prajna."
Gu Yun summoned Prajna in his heart, and saw the young man wearing a ghost mask walking out of the shadow. He felt the power of the curse in the air: "There is indeed a lot of resentment around here."
"Master, look."
Prajna raised his hand and covered one eye.
At the same time, Gu Yun's right eye instantly turned from pitch black to blood red.
Within his sight, there were strips of red mist in the sky. They floated over everyone's heads and converged somewhere.
"The red spell, this doesn't look like a curse, but..."
"A weird story?"
Strange tales and curses are two different things. The former is born from human speech, while the latter is the product of resentment.
Although they are all energy generated after emotional fluctuations, compared to curses, strange stories have small profits but quick turnover, and sometimes the total will exceed the curse.
But that's nothing.
The really difficult thing about Kaitan is its immortality and infinite rebirth.
Even if you can kill a demon spawned by a kaidan, as long as the kaidan itself still exists, such demons will continue to be born, making it almost impossible to completely eliminate them.
"Master?"
Hayasaka Nao couldn't see Hannya and couldn't hear his voice.
So all she saw was that Gu Yun suddenly became still, and his expression changed from lazy and casual to more solemn.
"Sister Nao, you are also my family."
"Ah, oh."
Hayasaka Nao didn't understand the meaning of Gu Yun's words.
Suddenly sensational?
Or is this a confession?
In other words, Maple Leaf Forest, sunset, two people, specially looking for a place to be alone...
'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. '
Hayasaka Nao's expression was calm and natural, but there was a huge wave in her heart: 'I, I am so much older than the young master, how could I...'
But if Gu Yun insisted, she seemed unable to refuse.
No matter how much I could repay Tamaki Iijima's kindness to her, it would never be too much.
It is her honor to be liked by the young master despite her humble body.
Moreover, the love affair between the young master and the head maid is not uncommon in the circle of wealthy people. It can even be said that it is a common phenomenon.
'But if you do something like this, what will your wife do? '
Hayasaka Nao naturally likes Tani Yun very much, but she is already 17 years old, almost ten years older than Tani Yun.
If something happened, Iijima Tamaki would definitely think that she was the one seducing Gu Yun.
'No, absolutely not! '
'I can't be sorry ma'am! ! ! '
Well, just like that, Hayasaka Nao secretly made a decision. If Gu Yun confessed to her next, she would politely refuse and said that she only wanted to be Gu Yun's sister for the rest of her life.
"Nao-san?"
Gu Yun noticed that Hayasaka Nao's eyes were flickering, obviously thinking about something.
"I'm sorry, Master, but please think more about this matter. Madam will not agree!"
"Aha?"
Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Hayasaka Nao meant.
In fact, the reason why Gu Yun said that Hayasaka Nao was his family was to show her the world of monsters.
As the manager of the Iijima family, Hayasaka Nao is the person Tan Yun and Iijima Tamaki trust most.
Sooner or later she would learn of the demon's existence.
Instead of scaring the other person then, it's better to confess now.
"Well, I think mother will agree."
"!!!"
Gu Yun's words made Hayasaka Nao feel like she was struck by lightning. The usually calm girl's cheeks turned red, and even her voice began to become erratic: "But, Master, you are still so young."
"so small?"
Gu Yun's eyes twitched, and he realized that the other party must have misunderstood: "Wait a minute, Sister Nao, please calm down first, I think we may have a misunderstanding."
"Why?"
Hayasaka Nao was also stunned, she was just too excited just now.
After calming down, the girl realized how absurd and shameless her previous thoughts were.
At this moment, the girl's eyes became hollow, and her eyes fell into deathly silence.
'It's over. '
'The young master must think that I am a shameless woman. '
"It's so interesting, young lady."
"who?!"
Hayasaka Nao's expression changed, and she almost instinctively protected Gu Yun behind her.
She followed the sound and saw a strange and beautiful boy wearing a kimono and a ghost mask, who didn't know when he appeared aside.
The weird dress, is he a child from a nearby family?
"Don't be nervous, Nao-san."
Gu Yun introduced: "This is Prajna, and it is also my family."
"A child from a relative's family?"
When hearing about his family, Hayasaka Nao only thought that the other party was a relative of the Iijima family, and could it be that Gu Yun came here just to play with him?
"Ah, no, no, Prajna, it's a monster."
"Aha?"
Hayasaka Nao looked at Gu Yun inexplicably.
In this era, there was no such thing as chuunibyou, so she only regarded Gu Yun's words as a joke.
Monsters or something, how could such a thing exist in this world.
"How to prove it?"
"Prajna, can you float?"
Prajna can control the power of curses, but this energy is invisible to people without the ability to see ghosts.
Various spells and rays of spiritual power are also included here.
It is obviously a bit troublesome to let Hayasaka Nao see the supernatural world through these.
So Gu Yun chose the simplest way, letting Prajna use the curse to lift himself up and make him float in mid-air.
"this!"
Such a strange scene was indeed beyond Hayasaka Nao's expectation.
"Etc., etc."
The girl held her forehead. She felt that her world view had been impacted: "This is magic, right? This kid is actually a magician."
"It's not magic, Nao-san."
After Gu Yun finished speaking, Prajna waved his sleeves and released a huge power of curse towards the trees nearby.
In an instant, the thick black mist condensed and turned into a terrifying storm. They rolled up a rock, causing it to roll and rotate in the air.
"Boom!"
Prajna clenched his right hand, and the rock in mid-air shattered.
"this…"
Hayasaka Nao was stunned. The scene in front of her completely subverted her views.
The girl could not see the dark power of the spell, so in her eyes, the rocks rose into the air under invisible force, and then shattered under unknown pressure.
"Monster, are there really monsters?"
"noob."
Gu Yun smiled slightly and called out Xiaobai.
"Xiaobai is here!"
The white fox jumped out of Tan Yun's shadow. Hayasaka Nao's eyes widened: "It, it, it, did it speak?"
"Yes, Xiaobai can talk."
"monster…"
Hayasaka Nao now believes it, but what she can't understand is why Gu Yun has such power.
"Master, are you an onmyoji, or are you a monster too?"
Although monsters and other things are a bit scary, the young master is the young master.
Even if you are a monster, Hayasaka Nao will serve you loyally.
"How could I be a monster?" Gu Yun couldn't laugh or cry: "I am a human being, but not an Onmyoji."
Modern people always associate onmyoji with shikigami and spirit removers, but in this world, onmyoji is a capitalist who specializes in divination and stands at the top of mankind.
"The Iijima family actually has such a secret!"
After Tani Yun's explanation, Hayasaka Nao learned some of the deeds of Iijima Tamaki and Tani Yun, including the spiritual power in the Iijima family's bloodline.
Hayasaka Nao was already surprised, but when she heard that the Iijima family was actually a family of supernatural beings, she was immediately excited.
This kind of development is like a fantasy novel, even a girl who has always been calm and wise can't help but think about it.
'Could it be that the young master and his wife are spiritual masters hidden among the people? '
'In order to protect the world of ordinary people from infringement, I fight monsters. '
'Could it be that Madam actually has ghosts coming out every night? '
Hayasaka Nao already admired and was grateful to Tamaki Iijima, and with this thought, she admired him even more.
"It's not that exaggerated. Besides, mother can only see monsters, she can't do magic."
Hayasaka Nao is the closest person to Gu Yun and her mother. To her, just tell the truth: "But my spiritual power is relatively strong, so I can use shikigami."
"And the reason why I came here today is to prepare to summon a new shikigami."
"New shikigami? Youkai?"
Hayasaka Nao is now obsessed with the Iijima family's settings, and is looking forward to the shikigami that Tan Yun will summon.
"Nao-san, have you ever heard of Momiji? It's the Momiji Hunter."
Legend has it that in ancient Japan, there was a couple who had no heirs in their old age. They often went to the temple to pray for a child, but they never got their wish.
The old couple who were so eager to have a child even went so far as to pray to the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, the highest heaven in the Desire Realm, Mojisura.
Soon, the old woman became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, named Wu Ye, who was transformed into the devil's daughter.
When Wu Ye grew up, he not only had unparalleled beauty, but was also proficient in music, singing and dancing, and was fascinated by many men nearby.
A man from a wealthy family used his power to force his second elder to marry Wu Ye to him. In desperation, Wu Ye turned to the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven for help.
The Demon King bestowed upon Wu Ye the magical power, and she used a maple leaf as a substitute to marry into a wealthy family. She and the old couple moved to Heianjing, taking the pseudonym Hongye.
Soon, word of Momiji's beauty and talent spread throughout the capital, and suitors came in droves. Finally, Mutsu garrison general Minamoto no Sueki took Momiji into his palace as his concubine.
Momiji was not willing to be just a concubine. She regarded Gen Sui Kei's first wife as a thorn in her side and wanted to replace her. For this reason, she cursed Tachibana Gozen at night to make her seriously ill.
Minamoto no Sui Kei's son became suspicious and invited the great onmyoji Kamo Tadayuki.
Kamo Tadayuki finally discovered Momiji's identity and expelled the demon girl to Togakushi.
The expelled Hongye was unwilling to fail. She was determined to take revenge, so she gathered bandits and bandits to cause chaos everywhere.
After the imperial court learned of the incident, it sent General Ping Wei Mao to pacify it.
As a result of the initial confrontation, the army was defeated by Hong Ye's magic.
In order to fight against the red leaves, Ping Weimao fasted and practiced hard for seventeen days. Finally, Hachiman Bodhisattva sent an envoy to give Ping Weimao a sword.
In this way, Ping Weimao chopped off Hongye's head with his divine sword. As soon as Hongye died, all the bandits under his command were wiped out.
Hundreds of years later, in order to avenge his daughter, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven reincarnated as Oda Nobunaga and became an enemy of the Buddha.
"Homiyakari is a very scary monster, isn't it?"
The knowledgeable Hayasaka Nao has naturally heard the story of Momiji, and in that legend, Momiji does not sound like a good person.
"Ah, no, no."
Gu Yun waved his hands repeatedly and explained: "What I want to summon is not the red leaf from thousands of years ago."
"Although the names are the same, they are not the same person. If I must say it, they should be of the same race."
The monsters Gu Yun awakened from the shikigami scrolls were all brand new individuals.
Just like the three-tailed fox and Xiaobai, it was Gu Yun who gave them life and created them in this world.
"But..."
Gu Yun recalled the character of the ghost girl Hongye in the game. She should be a yandere and very dangerous.
"Anyway, I will protect you, Nao-san."
With such assurance, Gu Yun opened the picture scroll in his heart, then faced the maple leaf forest in front of him and called out in an extremely gentle tone: "I love you, Hongye."
"Huh~~"
"Clatter, crash, crash."
As Gu Yun's words fell, the maple leaves swayed, and the dim sunset seemed to cast a shadow, making Hayasaka Nao feel a little depressed.
"Ah, Lord Gu Yun, you called me."
"I'm so happy, Hongye is really happy."
"Hongyehui will always, always love Lord Gu Yun deeply..."
The soft voice echoed in the shadow of the mottled maple leaves. Hongye's voice was a little shy, but also carried deep dependence and infatuation.
"Finally, I meet you again."
The next moment, a white, tender and slender hand slowly stretched out from behind Gu Yun's neck, and then gently turned the boy's face to her.
The red leaves are beautiful, but they are different from the SR ghost girl Red Leaves in the game.
The figure that appeared in front of Gu Yun was clearly the state of Hongye after she had completely awakened——SP heart hunter ghost girl Hongye.
She was born as a pawn to revitalize the family. She was blindly suppressed and submissive, but in exchange she was abandoned by her loved ones in the red leaf forest.
Maybe her life should have ended like this, but she had an obsession that could not be eliminated, and she eventually turned into a demon.
The gates of the Six Paths are opened, and evil spirits permeate the world, causing chaos in the world.
Faced with a desperate situation, Hongye was forced to bite the evil demon, but in the end he was eroded by the evil spirit and his body quickly decayed.
"How cute, my Lord Gu Yun."
Hongye hugged Gu Yun tenderly, and the two of them floated in mid-air, with countless red leaves flying around them.
Although Gu Yun is only eight or nine years old, this does not hinder Hong Ye's love for him.
Hongye didn't know why Gu Yun became like this.
In her memory, she was abandoned, but Gu Yun appeared in front of her and saved her.
The connection between Shikigami and Onmyoji closely connects the soul and the heart.
So Hongye would not admit her mistake. The cute boy in front of her was exactly the master she was waiting for, loved, and wanted to repay.
"It's really scary, this level of demonic power."
Hannya stood aside gracefully. He looked at the red leaves and at the same time sensed the huge demonic power in the woman's body.
In this state, Momiji's pure monster power level is already comparable to that of the big monster.
The only difference is that the Daiyoukai has its own Hyakki, while Momiji does not.
"But your condition shouldn't last long, right?"
"Is it Master's other shikigami?"
Hongye looked at Prajna, and then glanced at Xiaobai on the ground: "You are Prajna, and you, Bai Zangzhu?"
Instantly identifying the identities of the two monsters, Hongye showed a coquettish smile, and at the same time hugged Gu Yun tighter.
"Um?"
Prajna frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Master is not yours alone. Put Master Gu Yun down quickly!"
"That's right, let go of the master quickly!"
For Shikigami, who wouldn't want to monopolize Gu Yun and enjoy his care and companionship.
But whether it is Prajna, Xiaobai, or Three-tailed Fox, they all have their own sense of proportion and will never do anything to make Gu Yun unhappy.
However, the red leaves are a little different.
In other words, her current state is different from the red leaves under normal circumstances.
The red leaves of Heart Hunter represent collapse and decay.
It is a bit like the scarlet corruption of the Valkyrie in the old ring. Although it has gained huge power, it will also make Hongye's body and spirit constantly polluted.
Therefore, Hongye’s heart hunting mode has no time limit.
Before she went completely crazy, Hongye was able to maintain her current state, possessing a powerful combat power comparable to that of a big monster.
"This, is this your new shikigami, Master?"
"so beautiful."
There is a kind of enchanting beauty in the red leaves, and even Hayasaka Nao was dazzled by this special charm.
"Humanity?"
Momiji has been focusing on Gu Yun, but she didn't notice Hayasaka Nao until now.
She thought that what Gu Yun was carrying around were all his shikigami.
Unexpectedly, there was a human being.
"Hongye, this is my sister."
"This is our first meeting, Miss Momiji," the girl said, "My name is Hayasaka Nao, please give me your advice."
Gu Yun quickly introduced the two to each other. Hongye's character was a bit yandere and could go crazy at any time.
Moreover, she was jealous by nature and looked down upon other women hanging around Gu Yun, fearing that the one she loved would be taken away by others.
"What a pretty face."
Hongye looked into Hayasaka Nao's eyes, and then retracted her hand: "If you are such a beauty, I will allow you to serve Lord Tananyun."
She is indeed a bit yandere and arrogant, but she is not irrational.
When calm, Hongye is very smart and responsible, and can do his best to protect one party.
However, her mood is not stable, and sometimes she can be very crazy and cold.
"Lord Gu Yun, I can't maintain this posture for too long, I'm worried that I might lose control."
"Well, you can just keep to normal."
"But in that case," Hongye said with some worry: "Hongye's strength is not enough. He only has the ability of a superior monster. I'm afraid he won't be able to protect you."
"It's okay, it's okay. There are not so many dangers in the world today."
At this point, Gu Yun still needs Prajna and Three-Tailed Fox to educate Hongye about science.
Today is not the Heianjing of thousands of years ago, and there are not so many monsters and ghosts that cause harm to one side.
Even if there are powerful demons, they will hide in the dark. As long as Gu Yun and ordinary people don't take the initiative to step into them, it is basically impossible to come into contact with them.
"Then, Hongye understands."
The demon power dissipated little by little, the tattoos decorated with maple leaves began to disappear, and the clothes on his body turned into a decent and conservative blue-purple kimono.
"Hehe, Master Gu Yun, do the red leaves like this suit your wishes?"
Hong Ye turned around in front of Gu Yun, and then the boy was less than ten years old. With his current body, he could only think that the girl was pretty.
For things like love, we have to wait until he becomes a teenager.
"Ah, is that so?"
"The human body is such an inconvenient thing."
After Hongye's summoning was completed, Gu Yun asked Hayasaka Nao to take him back.
Among the shikigami, Momiji entered the second world and rode with Tananyun, but ordinary people like Hayasaka Nao could not see her or touch her.
Xiaobai once again slipped into Gu Yun's shadow, while Prajna and Yingcao returned to the courtyard space brought by the picture scroll, silently guarding their master's heart.
