When Sanmu left, he gave me four types of monster cards, saying they could be used to kill time. I stared at the four types of monsters on the cards, and then compared their eight cards, and finally picked out three

Purpose-like cards.

I looked at the three eyes on the card and couldn't help but poke him. There seemed to be some kind of magic spell used on the card to make the sound of the three eyes.

In addition to the three eyes, there are also Yuanjie God's cards. Is it possible that Xiao Yuan has also come here? But she was playing around, maybe she really came here.

The aroma in Nekomata's room was full of fragrance, and cat waiters with three eyes were walking around. My table had been replaced with a glass of water. Through the water, I saw the side of myself that belongs to the monster. My usually blue hair and eyes,

Now it has completely turned white, and the red demonic patterns climbed directly from my neck to my face. I pressed my demonic patterns and could feel the demonic power surge within me.

I was sitting bored and waiting for Sanmu to come back, when a voice came from the entrance behind me——

"One!"

This voice is...

It's really... it's not that enemies don't get together. I lowered my head to collect the cards, stood up and wanted to go out. No matter what, it's safest to hide here. The hatred forged in Dajiangshan cannot be ended here.

I turned around and wanted to pass by them, but the two big monsters didn't intend to miss them.

"Wait a minute." A ghostly hand blocked my face.

I looked up at the monster. Even though the monster was no longer as domineering as before, I could recognize that he was the first big monster I fought against in Oeyama, Ibaraki Doji.

But... where is his other hand?

"May I have your name?"

After thinking about it in my head for a long time, I smiled and said, "My name is Xixia, what's the matter with this gentleman?"

Ibaraki-douji looked at me with a little more confusion, and the red-haired monster behind him also turned his head: "Ibaraki-douji, I'm here to drink. What kind of monster can attract your attention?"

...Shuten-douji. Wasn’t his head beheaded by Onikiri? Why is he still fine now? I looked at Ibaraki-douji who was no longer what he used to be, and I understood something in my heart.

"Nothing..." Ibaraki Doji's eyes shifted to the card in my hand, "The Baiwen card? Just right. Why don't you and I play a game? It just makes my best friend less boring."

"Oh? You want to fight this little monster? Hahahahaha, Ibaraki-douji, I thought you were only interested in fighting me." After hearing this, Shuten-douji burst out laughing, attracting the other monsters to look at him.

.

"So, little youkai, what do you think? I'm in a good mood today, maybe I can help you." Shuten Doji looked at me, as if I was looking at a naturally weak person.

"Thank you sir." I bowed to Shuten Doji, "If this sir insists on playing against me, I will accept it."

Is it because the head was reattached? So you have no impression of me at all?

……fair enough.

"Then come." Ibaraki Doji seemed to no longer worry about my identity. He drove away the little monster eating beside him and called the cat waiter Ichiichi to take care of it.

I have never played Baiwen cards, so after I laid out the cards, Ichijou had already decided who was going first and who was going second.

As if he was sure that he could win, Ibaraki-douji gave me the upper hand.

"Ah! Great! I've caught up!" Panting, Sanmu got in front of me from the surrounding monsters, "My dear guest, it's my fault that I didn't introduce the Baiwen brand to you in advance."

I held the card, looked at the moving monsters inside and said, "No need to explain, I can do it."

"Eh?" Sanmu's eyes widened, "But..."

A hand pulled Sanmu away - it was the cat shopkeeper.

"It's nothing more. Just look at this guest carefully."

I looked down at the cards and finally pushed up the card called Soldiers.

Ibaraki Doji did not hesitate to push a card called Demon Sword Princess.

After going back and forth, I gradually understood what this Baiwen card was about. Four monsters, in various forms, have different functions. Coupled with some cards with attack effects, they can make me have monster powers.

The cards in the hand lose their magic power for three turns, that is, they die for three turns.

Dolls similar to the original body stood in front of us, with the word "30" written on them. I didn't understand what this was for at first. It wasn't until I was attacked by Ibaraki Doji's card that I realized that this doll represented blood.

quantity.

"Sir, the Baiwen card is based on the number of cards and blood volume." Sanmu secretly stood beside me and pointed at the doll and said, "As long as there are no more cards or blood volume, it will become '0'

, we lost."

After knowing this, I no longer hesitated, I just hoped to cripple Ibaraki Doji's doll before the cards ran out.

As Ibaraki Doji and I played cards, the voices of the surrounding monsters also changed, sometimes loudly, sometimes in surprise. The number of cards in hand continued to decrease, and my speed of pushing cards gradually slowed down. The monsters surrounded us.

The water is blocked, and even the voices that mentioned "use that" and "use this" before are gone.

Finally, there was only one card left in my deck, which meant that I only had one chance left. And the opponent Ibaraki Doji's doll only had three drops of blood left.

I hesitated, not knowing what to do for a moment. As time passed, I felt anxious, and the monsters began to whisper.

It was a bit difficult to make a choice, but I still held down a card and wanted to push it forward.

The lights flickered, and the bright interior made it difficult for me to tell whether it was real or fake. Two slender fingers held down the card in front of me, as if they didn't want me to push it out.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard a familiar voice.

"Fool."

I opened my eyes slightly, but found that two fingers gently tapped a card next to me. I was stunned for a moment, and looked up suddenly but saw nothing.

"Sir guest?" Sanmu was the first to notice something strange about me, "What's wrong with you? Do you need to do something else before you play your cards?"

I took my fingers off the card and shook my head.

just……

"No, I won."

Pushing out a card next to it, I saw that the doll in front of Ibaraki Doji was attacked by the monster power on the card, and finally disappeared in front of the monsters.

"Wow! The great monster Ibaraki Doji was defeated by a little monster!" A monster made a very surprised voice.

Ibaraki Doji frowned, and finally said reluctantly: "Humph, you can go."

I bowed slightly to him on the cushion: "Thank you."

I got up and left with Sanmu.

"The innocent little monster."

It's a drunken boy.

I just looked up and saw something like a letter being thrown towards me. I stretched out my hand to catch the thing thrown by Shuten Doji, but I didn't react.

Instead, it’s three eyes——

"Sir guest! This is a top-notch secret volume!" Sanmu looked at me excitedly, then looked at Shuten Doji as if to point out something, "Ah, he is really a generous guest."

A top-notch...secret volume?

He bowed slightly towards Shuten-douji, and then he and Sanme left the Nekomata House.

"Sir! We can go to the Baiwen Pavilion to change cards!" Sanmu said with a wink, then looked at me, "The guests are really amazing! I really didn't expect that last one!"

Seeing Sanmu's excited expression, I couldn't help but smile slightly. When I turned around and looked at Nekomata House again, I suddenly felt extremely friendly.

It's like I'm in the landlady's grocery store...

Ah... By the way, just now...

I suppressed my smile and looked around, but I didn't see a familiar figure.

"Three Eyes, are only monsters able to come to the Mirage Tower?"

I followed Sanmu and walked down the street. The place called the Atrium Square was still lively, but the road Sanmu took me to was very quiet.

"Of course, if it's not a monster, you won't be able to get in even if you have a ticket." Sanmu's ears twitched, "Does the guest suspect that a creature like a monster has come in? That kind of thing is impossible.

After all, even the monsters can tell if the smell is slightly different..."

Sanmu's voice was a little blurry. I stopped, and on a bridge not far from us, a green-haired boy wearing a fox mask was holding a paper umbrella and looking at me.

Brother? But he is not... He is not a half-demon, why is he still here...

When I was in Genji, my brother had already confessed to me that he was no longer a half-demon.

If that's the case... then why can he still...?

"My lord guest? Are you looking at the scenery?" Sanmu also stopped, "Yes, yes, the sky is the most beautiful at this time."

The green-haired boy only stood for a moment and then disappeared. I blinked and heard the sky with three eyes again, so I raised my head and looked up.

In the clear blue sky, the sky lanterns dotted with stars gradually disappeared into the night.

I squeezed the secret scroll in my hand, and then I felt a little bit more real. I don't know why, but my heart was filled with warmth. This place is a paradise different from Heian Kyo.

The Baiwen Pavilion was opened by the great demon named Qing Xingdeng. The light in the Baiwen Pavilion was dim, revealing a mysterious and unknown power.

"welcome."

A clear voice sounded above our heads. I looked up and saw a big monster named Qing Xing Deng leaning on a blanket hanging in the air with his head propped up.

Qing Xing Deng...it turns out to be this one. The monster in front of me is a beautiful woman, with a pair of beautiful eyes looking at me faintly, as if she is seeing something through me.
