Chapter 17 I really deserve to die
Because of the worry in her heart, Chinatsu left before the sun's rays gradually sank into the Inazuma Sea.
She picked up the black umbrella that she had not used for many days, avoided the wanton invasion of the sun, and climbed down the Shadow Mountain where Narukami Grand Shrine is located under the half-laughing gaze of Yae Kamiko.
Before leaving, she first went to Inazuma City, found the shop where she had met the pink-furred fox, walked in, and went straight to the boss.
Because of Qianxia's unusual appearance, the boss recognized her at a glance: "Guest, it's you. What can I do?"
Chinatsu took out a money bag and handed it to him.
The boss took it and took a look, and was almost dazzled by the shiny Mora inside.
"What... what are you doing, guest?" The unexpected fortune only made this honest boss feel flustered.
Qianxia asked: "Boss, is the money I give you enough to feed you one meal of fried tofu every day for a month?"
The boss was confused for a moment, but then realized that it was not what he thought, so he breathed a sigh of relief and began to count.
After a while, he raised his head: "Enough, that's enough, there's a lot more."
"That's good, the extra bosses can keep it as well, just treat it as travel expenses." She explained, "Please make fried tofu for a month, once a day, send it to Kage Mukagami Narukami Grand Shrine and give it to the Yae Miko. May I?"
After the negotiation was settled, Qianxia set off back to Tatarsha.
When I went back, I thought of the doll again for no reason, so I couldn't help but quicken my pace.
The clinker actually heard it...
*
Chinatsu never told Qinqi Zhe that the Vampires are a race with good hearing.
Her pointed ears are so keen that she can clearly hear the chirping of insects thousands of meters away. Relying on this, she escaped many blood hunts.
Because the forging industry in Tatarsha is prosperous, the sound of forging is always heard.
However, Qianxia lives in the underworld and doesn't have much time to rest, and she likes to rest during the day.
Although she lived in a relatively remote part of the village... it was inevitable that she still didn't sleep well. It's a minor obsession.
Because she would inevitably be worried if she told Qingqi about this matter, in order to make her friend less worried about it, Chinatsu chose to hide it.
Anyway - the faces of the vampires have not been exposed to light all year round. They are already pale, and you can't see any difference.
But what did she hear?
Because Qingqi Zhe was not at home, Qianxia followed several places he might go to in his memory to look for him. Then, before he saw anyone, he heard the conversation between Niyu and Qingqi Zhe.
Their conversation started with Uncle Kondo at the entrance of the village, who was so ambitious and lost everything in the end, and talked about the topic of "missing".
I only heard Niyu say: "...Irrecoverable longing will be unforgettable, but you are different."
"If you like it, don't miss it."
Chinatsu's footsteps stopped in place.
——Wait, you like it?
She was confused for a moment.
like!
Do you have someone you like? ! Who does he like?
Before she could think about it for long, Niyu's eyes finally caught her, and she seemed a little surprised.
The Qingqi turned around following Niyu's gaze and saw her, and then the meandering face shone instantly.
When Qianxia was looked at like that, her previous thoughts were instantly forgotten. Her heart suddenly softened, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously: "I'm back."
Then--
Then the little doll, which he hadn't seen for eight days, rushed over and hugged him.
The usually shy doll suddenly became bold.
She was confused again.
Under Niyu's smiling gaze, the little doll had not yet stood up. She was holding the black umbrella and standing under the not-so-strong sun, feeling a little embarrassed as the clothes on the doll were warmed by the sun. There was a loud explosion——
Wait, the person he likes...couldn't it be her?
The doll said dullly: "Chinatsu, I miss you so much."
After finally successfully receiving this sentence, her expression went blank, and she murmured unconsciously: "...It seems to be true."
The puppet raised its head in confusion.
Qianxia thought: But she doesn’t seem to be...not rejecting it?
Looking at the innocent-looking Qinqi Zhe, her eyes were still confused by her confusing words just now. Even her liking seemed ignorant and naive.
Chinatsu thought again that it had only been a few years since he came out of the Borrowing Hall.
Suddenly, my conscience pangs.
What are the advantages in her that make him like her?
Looking back at the memories of the past, could it be because I occasionally forgot to restrain myself from frivolous behavior?
What have you done!
Touching the head, kissing, and...the blood sucked on that dark night.
Now, her mind was filled with a sentence that she didn't know where she heard, but that could somehow express her inner feelings, with half regret, half annoyance, and ninefold complexity——
She said: "...I really deserve to die."
