The day when I was favored by my brothers

‌Looking silently at the door in front of him that had been blown away by him and the damaged barrier, his mouth was open and his expression was dumbfounded.

In my ears, I heard the roar of the wind and cranes as the demonic power dissipated, coupled with Ibaraki Doji's loud "Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha" and his loud smile, the whole thing seemed to be singing in chorus with the Yellow River.

She had disbelief written all over her face. She raised her hand cautiously and looked at her two paws. She looked over and over, but she couldn't see anything different from usual.

...But she had no idea that she could become so powerful when she followed Ibaraki Doji's instructions and used her demon power.

"Okay, you are indeed my sister!" Ibaraki Doji was quite satisfied with her performance. He picked up the girl and placed her firmly on his shoulders: "Next, I will take you with me.

It’s good to go to the Humanity Festival.”

I thought I was going to be forced to undergo cruel training like this. Mo Shui Weiwei repeated Ibaraki Douji's words again: "...Visiting a festival?"

The latter raised his eyebrows: "What? Not interested?"

‌Mo shook his head quickly.

Of course she likes the lively and fresh environment, especially when she first came to such a strange environment, she was even more curious when she heard the word festival.

However, she was quite surprised. On the surface, Ibaraki Doji, who looked fierce and hard to talk to, actually offered to take her to play with him, instead of training her until she collapsed from exhaustion.

The armor on the shoulders was a bit awkward, and he couldn't sit still very firmly. He subconsciously grabbed Ibaraki Doji's horns to keep his balance, and suddenly realized something was wrong, as if his hand had been burned.

‌Hurry and let go.

Ibaraki Doji, on the other hand, didn't take her actions seriously, showing his utmost bottom line and tolerance.

In other words... he was actually used to being grabbed by this guy before. She even pulled her own head and hung the whole dog on a swing. She had done such daring things as now.

What's the point of asking her to gently squeeze her horns?

Just as Ibaraki Doji was about to leave, a group of Genji and Onmyoji warriors came out of the mansion.

Genji belongs to the aristocratic and noble Onmyoji sect designated by the Heian Kyo royal family.

Different from advocating the coexistence of monsters and humans, Seimei's philosophy many years ago has been that Genji's method has always been to eliminate all monsters in the world and return the world to humans.

However, in recent years, turmoil has occurred frequently in Heian Kyoto, and even the onmyoji and the monsters have not been allowed to put aside their hatred for each other, and for the time being, they can make peace with each other and work together to defend against foreign enemies.

However, every moment...

The Genji onmyojis each held talismans and set up a heavily guarded formation, watching vigilantly at the legendary demon who kills without blinking an eye - the ghost general Ibaraki Doji from the mountains and rivers.

Even though Ibaraki Doji had already lost an arm and lost his demon power during the retreat of Jiangshan, many things happened in Heian Kyo in the past ten years, even causing Genji and Jiangshan to let go.

The estrangement can be regarded as a temporary armistice agreement.

But they still couldn't completely let down their guard.

Especially the sudden incident today made them even more panicked.

They felt that Ibaraki Doji definitely had a grudge against their Genji and Onmyoji, and was always thinking about how to get revenge. Otherwise, he would not have come up and blown away the door! This is obvious.

‌He's going to come and cause trouble!

"Ibaraki-douji!"

The leader of the Onmyoji drank like a thunderbolt, causing Mo Mo to shrink his head involuntarily.

"Are you planning to declare war on our Genji family again?"

Ibaraki Doji originally planned to walk away, but after hearing the words, he turned around and gave them a cold, golden look.

Just this look of calm and intimidation frightened them to the point where they subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Don't yell so ‌‌." Ibaraki Doji frowned and patted her head on the shoulder: "You ‌ scared her ‌."

Onmyoji: "...?"

No, at first glance, we feel that she is more afraid of you than us.

Of course, I only dared to criticize this in my heart, but did not dare to complain directly.

"Then why did you destroy the barrier at our main entrance? Also demolished our clan gate?"

Ibaraki Doji: "Because I think you are unhappy."

Genji Onmyoji: "???"

Turtle, there is no need to hide or explain anything, just tell the reason directly.

Onmyoji, the leader, had a tic-tac-toe pop up on his forehead. He originally said, "You and I, Genji, have no enmity at all, so why should you want to harm us," but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly said, "Don't go back."

...In this case, Ibaraki Douji actually doesn't have any grievances against them at all. No, in other words, it would be better to say that he has a blood feud.

On the day when Genji retreated from the country, he exterminated countless demon clans and even took the head of the ghost king of the country, Shuten Doji, who was Ibaraki Doji's best friend.

Although Shuten Doji was later resurrected, their operation at that time seemed to be similar to breaking into someone's home, killing people and setting fire to them.

Looking at it this way...it seems that Ibaraki Doji simply demolished the door of their home, not their heads, which is nothing.

So, the leading Onmyoji stammered for a moment, then changed his words and asked: "So, what are you going to do next? Break into my Genji and hurt my people?"

Hearing this, Ibaraki Doji said contemptuously: "Ha".

He stretched out his one arm, and a purple-black demonic flame appeared in the palm of his hand, shaking it at them like a demonstration: "Guess how many seconds it will take for me to crush you to ashes?"

"

Those Onmyojis turned pale in an instant, and each one of them was busy reciting "Emergency is like a law", and slapped themselves with protective shields for word spirits.

As soon as Minamoto Yorimitsu came from the inner room, he saw this scene and was speechless for a moment.

What on earth are they doing! They are Genji Onmyoji, not shrinking bastards! Just an Ibaraki boy who comes to threaten them can scare them like this?

"People of the tribe!" An Onmyoji took the lead and shouted, his tone full of respect and awe.

"People of the tribe!" The other Onmyojis shouted excitedly while blessing their words and spirits, as if they had finally seen their savior.

Minamoto Yorimitsu: ...I always feel a little embarrassed.

‌Mo can notice that when the imposing man, known as the clan ‌‌人‌silver‌, slowly steps forward, the Ibaraki boy next to him suddenly becomes sharp with his demon power.

stand up.

...Brother Ibaraki, it seems that he really, really doesn’t like this person called clan‌‌人‌.

‌Momo was curious and stuck his head out to take a closer look at the person, but Ibaraki Doji pushed his head down again.

"I don't know why the ghost generals are coming here."

Minamoto Yorimitsu's voice is gentle and magnetic, with a hidden edge. He speaks in a mellow official voice. His red eyes stare at the demon in front of him, but his right hand touches the hilt of the sword at his waist.

.

"It's nothing." Ibaraki Doji's sharp demonic aura disappeared in an instant. He replied calmly: "I just came to visit."

The leader of the Onmyoji just now said: "Don't believe him, he just showed that he was being aggressive and said that he demolished the door because he didn't like us..."

When Ibaraki Doji glanced at him like this, he looked as if his tail was being stepped on, and he shrank his neck and hid behind him.

Minamoto Yorimitsu: ...It’s really embarrassing.

He glanced around and saw a silver hair ball being protected by Ibaraki Doji. He was stunned, and then asked: "...your son?"

"No." Ibaraki Doji glared: "My sister."

Minamoto Yorimitsu: "..."

Does the ghost from Rashomon Purgatory have a sister? And, if his eyes are correct, then this guy is actually a dog demon.

He is completely different from Ibaraki Doji.

However... the physique of this cub is obviously different from the ordinary dog ​​demon. Even he has never seen such an aura originating from the dog demon.

interesting.

This is how Minamoto Yoriguang feels in his heart.

"Yes, please remember to tell the other onmyojis in Kyoto that if anyone dares to trick her into making a shikigami, I will pluck off his or her head the next day and use it as a watermelon pat.

broken."

If it is too cruel and threatening, let Minamoto norimitsu twitch the corner of his mouth and hide the snack he just made.

"What benefits can I get from promising you?" He smiled.

Ibaraki Doji looked at Minamoto Yorimitsu with a blank expression, and his face seemed to be full of "Oh my God, are you dreaming and not waking up? You are actually trying to get benefits from me. I didn't tear down your house when I said hello today."

It’s a natural benefit‌”.

The corner of Minamoto Yorimitsu's mouth twitched again, realizing that it was unreasonable to talk to this guy.

‌ Taking advantage of the confrontation between one person and one monster, Mo quietly climbed up on Ibaraki Doji's shoulders again, curiously looking towards the magnificent Genji mansion.

This is compared to the time when the Ogata family had no money at all but had to pretend to have money. The Ogata family looked much richer.

When she looked around, she happened to see a certain young man sitting on the roof.

The young man has three sabers on his waist. They are black. One of them is standing up in a high ponytail, and the other one is hanging down.

‌He has a temperament as gentle as jade, not like a swordsman, but more like a noble and polite son.

As if aware of the unknown gaze, the young man slowly raised his eyes and glanced coldly in the direction where Mo Mo was.

The young man has a good-looking appearance, but his eyes are fierce.

Mo Mo had no choice but to shrink his head back with regret on his face. The ears on his head turned into airplane ears, and he drooled in his heart.

In fact, what she just saw was not the young man, but the three knives on his waist.

I had stayed with my brother for a long time, and he had taught him some ability to identify swords.

That young man has three sabers. No matter which one, they are full of spiritual power. What a good sword!

It's a pity that his eyes were so fierce just now that Mo Mo didn't dare to look at him again.

At the same time, sitting on the roof, the straight young man in black, who was innocently labeled as "violent", still maintained an expressionless posture, staring at his old acquaintance Ibaraki without blinking.

The boy's shoulders are on the young man's shoulders... His ears are on his head.

Because I didn't notice his expression for a long time, and after looking at him for a long time, I even felt that his aura masked his handsomeness.

For a long time, he opened his lips slightly, tilted his head, and a trace of doubt flashed in his golden eyes.

"...Dog?"

On a summer night in Kyoto, the festival is bustling outside.

People coming and going are wearing yukata and even wearing various masks of demon foxes or monsters. At first glance, it looks like a ghost walking in the night.

"No, there are monsters in the festival."

‌Following silently behind Ibaraki Doji, holding him by the hem of his clothes, he looked at the passers-by and suddenly came up with this sentence.

Ibaraki touched her head - this time, he could control his strength well.

"We are just monsters sneaking into the festival."

‌Mo: "Well..."

"There must be some monsters who have the same method as us."

‌ She felt silently that Ibaraki Douji's words ‌‌ made sense. She muttered "So it's like ‌" and nodded frequently.

She held a candy apple in her hand and ate it with relish, happily.

——Ibaraki-dōji just bought it for her. What surprised her was that Ibaraki-dōji paid honestly and honestly like a normal customer.

To be honest, Ibaraki's impression in her mind now is that he used his height advantage to stand in front of the stall owner, and was so fierce that he threatened them to hand over all the apple candies.

Persona.

However, he actually paid the money honestly!

‌ Moreover, when he saw the trembling old lady selling candy, he actually stuffed her with a handful of coins that were far more than the price of apple candy, and then quickly walked away with ‌Mo.

This is not like a bad monster that eats people without spitting out their bones. He is obviously a good person who does good deeds without leaving his name.

This made ‌ silently open his mouth, very ‌ surprised.

"What are you doing?"

Ibaraki Doji smiled a little when he saw this fool with his head raised and his naive look.

"...Mr. Ibaraki."

"Call brother‌."

"...Brother Ibaraki." ‌Mo honestly said: "When did you meet ‌Mo?"

Ibaraki-dōji counted on his fingers. After counting for a long time, he finally answered with great difficulty: "...seven years ago."

It was really difficult for him to ask an illiterate monster to do arithmetic in an upright and dignified manner, but fortunately he was able to figure it out, which was quite reliable.

‌Tilting his head silently‌.

Seven years.

It took exactly seven years for her to be picked up and brought home by Mrs. Ogata, and then to experience everything.

So, what happened seven years ago, and why doesn’t she remember it at all?

The ears on her head drooped again, and the candy apples in her hands didn't even taste sweet.

"how?"

Ibaraki Doji is not a coaxer, but at least he is aware of the emotions of others, especially the emotions of this girl.

Every time she puts on such an expression, it means she is sad.

"...I didn't even remember ‌‌." She apologized: "...I'm sorry."

"If you don't remember ‌, you won't remember ‌‌. I just remember ‌. Why are you so sad?"

Ibaraki Doji obviously heard her voice muffled, as if he was about to cry, and was at a loss for a moment.

So he comforted him in a straight man's way: "I once knew a monster who was killed by an Onmyoji with a thousand swords and suffered amnesia. Later, he used the knife to kill many monsters of the same clan.

He also cut off one of my arms."

Ibaraki Doji's original intention is that at least you have not been brainwashed into doing these irreversible things, so there is no need to feel sad.

After listening to this silently, I cried and cried even more sadly.

"Having your arm chopped off... it must be very painful..."

She was actually trying her best not to cry, but she still cried pitifully until she hiccupped.

"...The pain has stopped for a long time. Please don't cry."

Ibaraki Doji felt that his heart was about to burst into tears.

As a majestic nine-foot monster, he could punch Lei Qilin's head off with one punch, but he made his crying sister not know what to do.

He suddenly remembered that when the girl had acted coquettishly at the temple and asked him to fish for goldfish, he had never fished for her.

Ibaraki Doji kept looking sideways at others as they came and went, even wondering if he was a trafficker. He asked her patiently: "Do you want a goldfish? I'll catch it for you?"

‌ He rubbed his eyes silently and just nodded.

Ibaraki Doji rubbed her head again, rolled up his sleeves, and walked to the side of the goldfish stall to stand in front of the goldfish stall.

The stall owner was frightened by the monster with a fierce and handsome face. His first reaction was that he was here to collect protection money. When he fell to his knees and begged for his life, he suddenly saw

But he threw a handful of money on the table, then picked up a paper fish bag with his index finger and thumb and said pitifully to him, and started fishing for goldfish with difficulty.

What can I say about this scene...it was quite subtle for a moment.

Stall owner: "..."

I thought he was here to cause trouble, but it turned out that he was just a stupid guy with too much money? The money was really too much, and he could have bought the entire goldfish stall plus his life.

.

Ibaraki-dōji was impatient when he couldn't get anything, so he took out a handful of money from his pocket and slapped it hard on the table.

Guests: "..."

Is this a kid from a rich family? The things in his head really cannot be judged in ordinary human dimensions.

The stall owner was completely stupid. He wanted to cry but had no tears. He stammered: "No, no..."

No need, brother, you gave me too much, and he didn’t dare to accept it.

"Isn't that enough?" Ibaraki Dōji frowned, and when he heard this, he slapped a bunch of money on the table: "Hand over all the money!"

Everyone: "..."

Oh God! What is blocking their sight!

It’s money and brilliance!

It's a pity that Ibaraki Doji is only good at the delicate work of using his own hands to twist off the provocateur's head, or use it to set off demonic flames and catch fish, which is really not good for a while.

While he was very involved in the matter of "catching goldfish to make his sister happy", Mo Mo had already adjusted his mood, wiped away his tears, and raised his head again.

The temple was bustling with people coming and going. She looked left and right, but she didn't see Ibaraki Doji.

...It’s over, it’s over‌.

Recalling it carefully, I realized that Ibaraki Doji must have told her just now that she was going to fish for goldfish?

She squeezed into the crowd with difficulty, looked around, and found the place where Ibaraki said to catch goldfish.

However, there were too many people in the temple, and she was tall. People who came and went without noticing her would accidentally knock her down.

‌ Mo fell to the ground and patted himself. Just as Hui was about to stand up, he suddenly saw a furry ‌ fluffy tail wagging in front of him.

...Only the fox tribe has such a tail.

Before she could figure out why there was a fox tribe in this place, she already followed her instinct to say hello with her hands, and pointed her tail at them, raising and lowering her hands.

It's soft and soft, and it feels very good in the hand. Although it's not as good as my brother's velvet tail, it still feels interesting to touch.

The tail was so frightened by her move that it slipped away from her hand.

"Hiss...who is having evil intentions towards ‌生‌ Taitail?"

——It is a male with ‌‌ sound.

‌ Mo quickly apologized: "I'm sorry! But it looks soft and soft. I just didn't care..."

Her voice stopped suddenly.

Because this Mr. Fox Demon, who belongs to the Fox Clan, has already leaned down, took off the mask covering his face, and stared at her without blinking.

His eyes were completely different from those of Qingming, a person with fox clan blood. Mo Mo felt a chill running from head to toe, and even her untransformed tail was shaking with it.

‌A shiver.

If I had to describe that look, it would be like... seeing a grape fox.

The premise is that this fox likes to eat grapes.

"So that's what it is?" Mr. Fox Demon squatted down with a smile, and then nodded slowly, looking at her with interest: "So that's what it is, this lovely person.

‌Sister, you are really a bad boy."

‌Mo was frightened by him and jumped up, turned around and ran away, but was grabbed by the collar and easily lifted up.

"Don't run away." The fox demon's voice was full of joy: "You just touch other people's tails casually, are you just going to walk away like this without looking back?

"

‌Aggrieved silently, he continued to apologize: "Yes, I'm sorry..."

"Hahaha, I don't blame you." Mr. Fox Demon seemed to be smiling even happier.

He said he didn't blame her, but actually he didn't want to let her go at all.

‌Mo puffed up his mouth and turned it into a balloon, she ‌, her mother used to say that the fox clan ‌ the fox demons were cunning ‌evil-minded‌ guys, and she could never play with them in terms of scheming in her life.

Fox tribe, mother is really right.

"...Then, what do you think I can do to compensate you?" Mo Mo asked cautiously.

"Ah...let me." Mr. Fox Demon touched his chin and said with crooked eyes, "How about this sister, how about giving back the heart that was stolen from her?"

‌Mo: “……?”

"To be honest, I fell in love with you...sister ‌ at first sight." He lowered his eyes and raised his tone slightly: "Sister ‌, you stole ‌‌sheng's heart."

‌Mo: “…???”

She recalled the lines in the picture book:

【‌Man! You are the one who stole‌my‌heart!】

[You annoying temptress! Give me your heart back! 】

Gojo Satoru often sighed that these lines were so greasy.

‌Mo originally didn’t quite understand what greasy meant. It wasn’t until today that she saw Mr. Fox Demon speaking these shameless lines in a serious manner that she finally understood what Gojo Satoru had said before.

talk.

‌Struggling silently for two times, she found that she could not escape from Mr. Fox Demon’s hands at all, so she argued with reason and called back Mr. Fox Demon’s conscience, ‌‌ reminded: “But

, Mr. Fox Demon, I’m still young, I’m just a cub.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mr. Fox Demon's eyes flashing and suddenly becoming brighter, with "Wouldn't this be better.jpg" written all over his face?

‌Mo: “…”

It's a perversion.

Mr. Fox Demon is a real pervert, and he is clearly a pervert. He is standing in front of her and wants to take her away.

She was about to shout out and ask for help from Ibaraki Doji, but at that moment, she suddenly heard the sound of a sword piercing the air from behind her.

The hand holding her collar quickly loosened it and retreated, but still a cluster of silver threads was cut off like a demonstration.

The demon fox was still frightened. He took a few steps back and raised his eyes to look at the person coming.

The latter held the stupid child in his arms, and the sharp sword in his hand was still pointed at the demon fox. His brows were condensed, and he expressed his position without saying a word.

‌Mo Zhan raised his head tremblingly, and could only barely see the young man's profile.

It was the handsome brother with three knives on the roof during the day.

There was a tear mole dotted in the corner of his eye, which was almost breathtakingly beautiful. He raised his hand to pat her head. His face seemed cold and handsome to the point of being unworldly, but the words that came out of his mouth were...

…

"Dogs are good."

Ghost cut‌‌‌, added another sentence:

"Don't be afraid, dog."
