Chapter 258 I knew it would not go so smoothly

Time: March 3rd, seven o'clock in the evening.

Location: White Emperor Academy.

That's right, the much-anticipated Doll's Day Festival is finally here.

This festival is also called "Doll Festival" or "Peach Blossom Festival", and it is called "Hina Festival" in Japanese.It is a festival to wish girls to grow up healthily. Traditionally, families with girls will put dolls, white wine, water chestnut cakes, peach blossoms, etc. on this day to celebrate.

The origin of this festival is said to be traced back to the Heian period more than 1000 years ago.

At that time, people had the habit of praying for "freedom from disease and disaster" on the first day of March. At this time, people called onmyoji to pray to the gods of heaven and earth, offer seasonal food, and swim in rivers and seas. Paper dolls.Send it to the dummy in the hope of your own bad luck, and take it away with you.

Moreover, the aristocratic girls of that era had the habit of playing with dolls, which was similar to the current "play house". Over time, these two customs gradually overlapped and evolved into today's Girl's Day.

——As for the name "Peach Blossom Festival", it is because the Girl's Day coincides with the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, but this is the original setting.Because Girls' Day was originally on March [-]rd in the lunar calendar, but after the Meiji Restoration in the eleventh district, it was changed to March [-]rd in the Western calendar.

"The scale is really grand..."

From the hillside, overlooking the bustling sea of ​​people everywhere on the campus, the debtor butler in a cloak could not help showing a timid expression.

"There are too many people, it's a challenge." Mu Xiu pointedly pointed out what he was afraid of.

Looking down from the hillside, you can see the endless stream of human heads below, which is completely a large area of ​​darkness.The evergreen trees on both sides of the school road are decorated with lights, and the twinkling lights reflect the colorful balloons.On the slightly open space, colorful flags fluttered, and various business slogans and banners fluttered in the wind beside the booths.

The flow of people is like a tide. From the outside and inside, the business is always busy. I don’t know how many people are enjoying the leisure time of the festival, and all of them are filled with cheerful smiles.

As one of the five major events, the Doll's Day Festival of White Emperor Academy has always been held with great grandeur. It is very famous in Tokyo and even nearby cities, so many people specially come to participate.

"Yeah, with such a huge crowd, it seems like a very difficult task to sneak into the bell tower without being noticed by anyone!" Ayazaki Sa was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes shook violently.

"Not necessarily. Although there are many people in the open space near the clock tower, but because no booths are allowed, the people there will be a little looser than that—come on, boy Ayazaki!"

Mu Xiu said in the tone of "Warrior, I am optimistic about you", then put his hands on the shoulders of the debtor's steward, and patted the latter's frightened eyes twice, as if to encourage him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what's the matter with this kind of title that looks like the protagonist of a hot-blooded manga!" Ayazaki Sa lamented somewhat self-destructively——

"This kind of life-and-death moment, why should I queue up and squeeze the crowd first, can't I just go directly to the boss fight?"

"Because the devil lives in the castle, and the princess is also on the puppet stage. If there are no restrictions, why don't you just ask Daisy to go to Sanzenin's mansion to pretend to have a duel?"

Mu Xiu looked at him with pity, and then comforted him irresponsibly.

"But don't be so pessimistic. Where is the juncture of life and death? Even if you fail, you will just become a womanizer. Everyone can understand and accept it. It's not a big problem..."

"It's a big problem, okay!" The debtor's eyes darkened, but he thought of something again, and asked quickly, "By the way, Mu Xiu, did you find the other person?"

It was as if every time after a holiday, when the students returned to school, they would always pull people around to ask "Have you finished your homework?" Now he also urgently needs a companion.Although the other party may not have the ability to help him, he can give him some psychological comfort.

"No, I can't find anyone, and I haven't heard any news about it. If there is no news when Ms. Yi Cheng comes over later, it's probably because she really can't find that person." Mu Xiu was noncommittal. typical.

He looked at the scenery below with an absent-minded look, and he didn't seem to care much about the other person's problems.

The air froze all of a sudden.

Debt steward: "..." He suddenly had a feeling that he knew each other, was familiar with each other, and had friendship.

"By the way, the Girl's Day Festival is one of the five major events of the White Emperor Academy, and there are bonuses, and because it is not a sports competition, the nature is more relaxed and pleasant, so there are many people participating."

Suddenly thinking of something, Mu Xiu turned his head and said to Ayazaki Sa with good intentions.

"Contrary to Valentine's Day, the theme of this festival is that boys invite girls to dance together and create beautiful memories together... The person who wins the first place will not only get a generous bonus, but also have the privilege of inviting someone to dance the opening dance of the night festival. !"

"Uh, I'm not too interested in dancing or something, student Mu Xiu." The housekeeper who owed debts looked up at the sky without thinking about his own affairs, and just concentrated on waiting for the time to act.

"What dance?" Mu Xiu curled his lips, "The point is to create good memories. This is the last ceremony before the exam, and we need to create the last memories!"

"The last memory?"

"That's right, for those who failed the exam and were expelled, it is the last memory!" The boy said with a malicious smile.

"What a nasty activity!"

The steward in debt was shocked immediately, and his whole body turned gray and white.

At this moment, both of them felt the faint vibration from the ground under their feet at the same time, and at the same time, they sensed a slight omen.It was like the strange tranquility that appeared on the eve of the approaching storm. Suddenly everything was quiet for a moment, and the air seemed to condense.

Although everyone who participated in the festival immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, and then quickly resumed the previous hustle and bustle.

But Ayazaki Sa always had an ominous premonition in his heart, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction——

There seemed to be something "something" leaking out there, and it spread to the entire night sky in an instant, followed by a huge beam of light that soared into the sky, and the thick clouds in the night sky seemed to start to rotate around the beam of light.

"Hey, hey, it's too much, I just want to lift the curse, do I need such a big fight?"

The corners of the butler's eyes twitched and he made an incoherent voice.

"And there was a big accident on the other side of the city yesterday. Although there were not too many casualties, it should be enough!"

"It's normal, this is Tokyo, and the people of New York haven't said anything yet!" Mu Xiu casually said, he saw that the beam of light only appeared for a moment, and then was covered by something, and he was completely overwhelmed. Going back, he raised his eyebrows immediately.

What was leaked just now was spiritual power, but it was not the kind of spiritual power that the exorcist refined from the external energy, but the original spiritual power, the "mana" contained in the atmosphere.

However, it is obviously impossible to condense free energy from the atmosphere of this era to that extent. That kind of phenomenon looks more like the leylines below the city were pierced, and the energy of the leylines flowing inside the planet was vented. look.

However, that phenomenon only appeared for a few seconds, and probably only those who had the ability of spiritual vision and looked in that direction at that time would notice the appearance of this abnormality.

Seeing Ayazaki Sa's tangled expression, Mu Xiu sighed: "You don't need to worry about this matter, first find a way to deal with your own problems, and let me handle this matter—besides, I feel something It smells like a little devil!"

Santuhe and Hong finally showed some clues, and Mu Xiu naturally went to meet him to prevent him from destroying the whole city by the way.Although I don't understand what that guy wants to do, but no matter how he looks at it, it is impossible that he is planning to benefit the general public, and he deliberately chooses to make troubles during this time period...

If it was said that the evil spirit kid didn't deliberately want to avoid him, Mu Xiu would certainly believe it... a ball!
"Wait, Mu Xiu...student..."

He opened his mouth and was about to say something when the debtor steward saw the other party flying towards the black night sky like a cannonball, and disappeared within his sight in the blink of an eye.

"..."

Not sure if it was a little more relaxed, or feeling a little disappointed in herself, after standing blankly for a while, Ayazaki sighed.

Then he turned around, and immediately his view was dominated by a face that was almost directly pasted on it.

"Wow!... Hey, Se, Segawa... why are you here!"

The indebted butler, who was in a state of shock, took a few steps back before he could clearly see Segawa Izumi who appeared in front of his eyes, and suddenly felt that trouble was coming.While searching the surrounding terrain with his eyes, he was drawing up a planned route for escaping later in his mind, while distracting the other party's attention.

"Satai, you are the one, why are you here if you don't go to the festival?" Segawa Izumi looked at him curiously, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, "And this outfit is so strange, what role are you playing? Is it a play game?"

"No! It's not, I'm not hiding anything!" Ayazaki Sa's heart broke out, and she hurriedly grabbed the lead, trying to fool her.

"..."

"..."

"Eh?...Hiding it up?"

Segawa Izumi was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on her face was as subtle as possible, she raised her hands like a little devil and approached: "No, Sata...it's so hot in summer, and she's still wearing a coat... "

"It's only March now, Segawa..." Seeing that the defense was useless, so he didn't do any more useless work, the debtor butler turned around and ran away with a dark face.

"Wait! Show me what's inside the cloak—!!"

"I don't want it, you win for me!!"

……

……

At the same time, when the debtor steward was involved in the unfolding of troubles as usual.

In front of the teaching building, next to a stall for buying barbecue.

"Speaking of which, it's really strange that you would come to a place with so many people!" Gui Daiju sighed as she touched the head of the blond girl with ponytails.

Unhappy, he turned around and knocked off the chairman's palm, Sanqianin Nagi said dissatisfiedly, "Don't make me sound like I'm staying at home without leaving home!"

The smile on Miss Maria's face froze slightly: "Isn't it?"

Pretending not to hear her chief maid's dismantling words, the eldest lady of Sanqianyuan's family put her arms around her arms and said proudly: "Really, in vain I heard that you are going to hold a birthday party here today, so I came here specially join……"

"I'm going to hold a birthday party here?" Daisy Gui's eyes became confused, "I... didn't know there was such a thing..."

"But that's what the student union said—it's strange, Maria, didn't Yisumi say she would wait for us nearby? Did you see her?" The little head looked around, Nagi Sansenin His attention was quickly diverted, and he looked at his maid suspiciously.

"Well, if it's Ms. Yicheng, she might get lost again..."

Maria sighed and said,
