Chapter 34 The City of Fireworks (Part 1)(1/2)

I woke up from my nap in the summer dusk, and the long and distant flute sound played in front of Tamamo reached my ears with the wind.

"woke up?"

I turned around and saw that my brother was sitting on the edge, with a piece of clothing draped over him. In the dusk, his thin body was outlined.

I looked at the clothes covering myself, stretched out my hand to rub my forehead, and said in an overly soft voice, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"There is a fireworks festival in Kyoto tonight, do you want to go and see it?" My brother turned his head and looked at me. The scars on his face had faded a lot.

I turned over and looked at him: "Brother, what is your purpose? Can I help you?"

My brother stood up and put the clothes in his hands in front of me: "There is no purpose."

"Lie - people -" I lengthened my voice.

My brother didn't look at me, and sat back on the edge: "Let's go, love."

I don’t know where my brother borrowed the peach blossom demon and cherry blossom demon. Now I am becoming more and more like those noble ladies in Kyoto. Tamamo Mae often said that girls are naturally the best when they are fragrant and soft.

There is no way. If I live here in Tamamo, I have to listen to him. If I am found not to do what he wants, I will be thrown out of the house in the middle of the night. Although I can beat those little monsters, no one dares to take him in.

Me, no one bullies me and someone taking me in are completely different things.

I closed the door, changed my clothes, dressed up briefly, and then opened the door.

"Well, it's not bad." Tamamo-sama, who was dressed as a woman, commented simply, "Let's have some fun tonight."

"...Sir, are you going too?" I looked at his outfit again.

"What? Are you afraid that I will disturb you?" Tamamo Mae asked with a smile.

"Even if you want to disturb me, I don't mind." I immediately became well-behaved.

"Haha, I've been to Kyoto so many times, and I always want to meet that kid Seimei." Tamamo-mae turned around and walked towards the car parked in the yard.

Seimei... this name sounds a little strange now. My brother said that Seimei is now the most famous onmyoji in Kyoto. He is gentle and polite, with a cool and elegant appearance. Naturally, many people come to make friends with him.

But I am quite curious about the relationship between Tamamozen and Seimei. From what Tamamozen said, it seems that Seimei must be very familiar with him.

In the past two years, I seem to have experienced a different feeling, a kind of freedom similar to home. The existence of Tamamo-mae is undoubtedly a kind of constraint for me. However, it is precisely because of this existence that I

You can do whatever you want.

Every time I come to Kyoto, I always feel like I'm in a dream. I easily jumped out of the car and followed my brother. The place I wanted to go this time was a place I hadn't been able to go at that time. Although it was different from the place I thought before.

Too much the same, but not much different.

Brother...maybe he brought me to meet the Onmyoji from another family? I wanted to do this a few years ago, but I just found the opportunity now...

Eh? Found an opportunity?...If that's the case, will anything happen?

My brother walked into an izakaya, went upstairs, and found a seat by the window. From there, he could see both sides of the Kyoto Bridge. The river flowed through the illuminated bridge, and the shimmering waves reflected the city of Kyoto.

prosperous.

"In the bright sunshine, the feeling of spring is in full swing. Don't worry, nothing will happen. The cherry blossoms are rustling." Seeing this scenery, I couldn't help but recite the Japanese song I once read at Minamoto's house, "Kyoto is really beautiful."

"Beautiful things are like clouds and will eventually dissipate."

A voice came from across from me. I turned around and saw a young man wearing glasses and a green onmyoji costume.

The elder brother bowed slightly to him: "Brother Fujiwara."

The young man patted his brother on the shoulder, sat across from us, looked at me and said, "I am Fujiwara Michizuna, the onmyoji of the Fujiwara family, and I have known Xi for several years."

I put on a perfect smile: "I am Azi, thank you for taking care of my brother these past few years."

"It doesn't matter, we are taking care of each other. I have heard of the reputation of Genji Murasaki." Fujiwara Michizuna smiled, then turned to his brother and said, "By the way, what do you want to see me for this time?"

At this time, the dishes were already placed on the table.

My brother thought for a while, then looked at me unexpectedly and said, "I'm here to inquire about the news about Liren Pavilion."

"Riren Pavilion." Fujiwara Michizuna repeated, looking at his brother in surprise, and then looking at me, "You don't want to send your sister to Xingyuan, right?"

I reached out and took a chopstick of vegetables and put it into my mouth.

"...Yes." My brother replied.

The bitter taste spread on my tongue. I endured the discomfort and shuddered, and then immediately put down the chopsticks.

"The Rijin Pavilion is on an island near Xingyuan, far away from Kyoto. Why are you asking about this? Did you predict something when you sent her to Xingyuan?" Fujiwara Michizuna poured himself a cup of tea and asked.

Predicted...what?

While fighting the bitter taste in my mouth, I slightly raised my head and glanced at my brother. There was no wave in his green eyes. When he saw me looking at him, he just tilted his head slightly, and then looked at Fujiwara Michizuna.

"Kyoto is not suitable for her." My brother said this. After a pause, he also picked up the chopsticks and reached for the bowl of food I had picked up before. "She has such an appearance and can be well cultivated there to be able to have no worries about food and clothing."

A singer."

??!!Did I hear something amazing? Diva?

I couldn't help but open my eyes wide, but my brother completely ignored me.

But what surprises me even more is that Xingyuan is actually a place like that?!

...No, the question is why should I be sent to such a place?

Is my brother trying to hide something? He didn't control me, and he didn't want to take advantage of me. He said anything about training, of course it was to cover up...

But what is it to cover up?

"It's okay if you just send her to be a singer, but are you sure your sister won't make a big fuss in Xingyuan?" Fujiwara Michizuna was a little embarrassed, "If she makes a big fuss..."

The elder brother put the dish into his mouth and ate it without changing his expression. After a while, he continued: "Brother Fujiwara doesn't need to worry about this. If there is any loss, it will naturally be borne by Genji and has nothing to do with brother Fujiwara."

How did he eat such bitter food...?

Ah, but if you want to send me to a certain place, you won't let me mess around... Are you going to seal my demonic power again?

...Now I finally know why I was sent to Tamamo-mae in the first place. Tamamo-mae, who has lived in the palace for several years, will naturally teach me how to become a qualified and elegant woman. Next, when I go to Anbara, in addition to being

Is there anything else besides training? I can't think of anything else.

"Well, I'm going to go there soon anyway, so let's go." Fujiwara Michizuna hesitated for a long time before saying, "As for the news about Riren Pavilion, I really don't have any. You might as well ask the Yin and Yang of the Kamo family.

Master. Many years ago, their family seemed to have investigated Liren Pavilion."

My brother didn't answer and continued to pick up a chopstick of vegetables.

Fujiwara Michizuna seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Not all Kamo's family are like that. You can always find out something if you listen around...Ah, by the way, you can treat me to this meal."

After finishing the meal and saying goodbye to Fujiwara Michizuna, my brother took me to the bridge. The cherry blossoms by the river were in bloom, falling in the wind, and there were lights floating on the river.

"Don't you want to ask me something?" My brother was walking in the shadows, and I couldn't see his expression clearly. I could only imagine that he still had a cold face.

I held the bridge and stood still and said, "Don't ask."

In the past, I would definitely ask.

"Sir, don't you ask me why?" I asked for a bunch of Hagoromo and Aika's things, then looked at Tamamo Mae and said.

Tamamo-mae patted my head with a fan: "Take it if you want. If it makes me happy, then that's fine. If it doesn't work, I'll kick you out for a month."

Tamamo-mae never asked me what I was doing, even if he wanted to bring his children’s old toys. Hyakumeki once told me about his memories of loving flowers. After listening to this, I silently placed the prepared umbrella in Tamamo-mae’s room. I used those

It was made from a toy, and the names of Hagoromo and Aika were specially written on the umbrella handle.

"Speaking of which, I will be thirteen in three months!" I smiled, "What gift are you planning to give me this year?"

"I remember last year it was a bag of hydrangea seeds, and the year before that it was a hibiscus specimen. I'm really looking forward to this year's gift!"

As soon as I finished speaking, fireworks lit up in the sky. It illuminated the entire river, and also illuminated the dark place where my brother was. In those green-glazed eyes, there were fireworks lighting up in the sky, and there was also a kind of

The long-lost gentle light.

I was about to walk over to get a better look, but I saw a rather familiar blue figure under the bridge. Where the lights were flickering and the lights were flickering, his face had matured a lot, completely losing the childlike look I had seen back then.

Next to him was a girl in a pink kimono, with a faint smile on her face.

That's...

Ah, there is also Yuan Boya...he has grown up too. Xiaobai followed a fortune teller in white kimono, jumping very excitedly.

"Want to go there?" My brother asked standing behind me.

I raised my eyes and looked into the distance, and a familiar figure broke into my eyes.

"That's... Mr. Tamamoae?" I turned around and asked my brother, "What is the relationship between him and Seimei?"

"Seimei's mother, Kuzuha, is a good friend of Tamamo-mae. She probably wants to take care of Seimei."

My heart moved, and I turned back to look at my brother: "I know what my brother is worried about."

My brother frowned slightly and looked at me: "Did you use that again?"

I stuck out my tongue: "My brother accidentally revealed it to me. You can't blame me. My brother is so worried about me, but I am a little worried about him."

The greatest benefit of twins is the spiritual connection, but this is only one-sided. After all, I hide my thoughts very deeply. I won't be like my brother who has thoughts spilling out of my head at every turn.

"...I don't need you to worry." My brother rejected me as always.

"...Actually, my brother is quite happy." I didn't care about my brother's expression and jumped onto the bridge railing, "Since we are going to meet, let's create some surprises."
To be continued...
