Chapter 65 Mysterious Character

When the gray domestic car drove on the country road back home, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening. Because they later returned to the izakaya and tasted the cooking of Chef Totsuki again (this time he packed a few sushi for Qingming) before leaving Rinme Village.

Shechuan Yao was driving in a mood that was neither good nor bad. Qingming lay in her pocket thinking about life. As for Natsume Takashi and his drunken cat, they sat in the passenger seat and chatted with her.

"So, can cousin see monsters now?" Natsume asked with a little expectation and a little worry for her.

"Ah... how should I put it? I can only see some small monsters in daily life." Shechuan You turned on the wiper to blow away a small monster that was lying on the glass and blowing wind, blocking his view, and answered casually, "But if you want to see more clearly, you may have to use a deeper power (Eagle Eye)."

"This change won't harm your body."

Qingming suddenly poked his head out of her pocket and answered Natsume-san: "It won't."

"Shut up, Qingming, no matter how you think about it, it's your fault." The girl began to blame him.

"Boss, you are shirking responsibility again..."

"Shut up."

At this time, the cat teacher woke up, saw Qingming's black hat and wanted to stretch out his claws to scratch it, but was carried away by the boy in time.

"How rude, Mr. Cat, don't play with Mr. Qingming's hat casually."

"Ah! Natsume, you are so mean to me for a snotty Onmyoji! Damn it!"

Qingming said politely: "I don't stink... at least not as much as you do."

The calico cat, which was full of alcohol, immediately glared at the hand-made spirit with a fierce look in his eyes: "Nonsense! I will take your snacks when I go back, hehe!"

Qingming & Shechuan Yao: ...

It's a very fierce threat.

 The two got out of the car and walked into the village. Sure enough, the scene they saw before was not fake. At this time, the whole village seemed to be decorated with lights and colors for some kind of celebration. Many villagers were wearing kimonos and yukatas, and running back and forth with various masks on their heads. 

"Cousin, it's so lively here, how can we find a place to stay?" Because the surroundings were too noisy, Natsume had to raise his voice to ask her. 

Unexpectedly, this sentence was heard by several villagers who had been staring at them from the beginning. They surrounded them enthusiastically and asked, "Where are you from? Do you need a place to stay?"

 "These two young people are obviously tourists from other villages. Our local God's Descent Festival has always been very famous."

 Several people chattered, almost poking the animal and ghost masks on their faces directly into Natsume Takashi's nose.

Faced with this scene, the latter turned pale for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
