Survival: King Picking Game

That's all.As long as she gets acquainted with it for a while, she will understand that these hideous monsters are just little monsters that can be wiped out by her gestures.

...but therein lies the problem.

Her playmate, Tsuchimikado Harutora, has no power to see demons. ——To be precise, it was sealed with a spell on purpose.

From his point of view, he clearly saw nothing.

Therefore, for the first time, Harutora thought that Natsume was a little too scared.Moreover, I am still afraid of something that does not exist.

The child was outspoken, and Chunhu thought that his side was the right one, so he called Natsume a coward and a crybaby, and finally scolded Natsume.

"If you're that scared, you might as well go back to the adults. It's better to ask Brother Pingan, or I can play alone."

When Harutora said this, Natsume was about to cry, but Natsume didn't cry in the end, but held back.With a reluctant smile, Harutora continued to play.

...But, no matter what, the gap between the two remained.

After that, Natsume no longer took the initiative to ask Harutora to play, and on the other hand, Harutora did not come over to invite him specially like before.

Li Pingan knew that even the cheerful and outgoing Chunhu had been depressed in recent days, not to mention the relatively introverted Xiao Natsume.Besides, unlike Harutora, Natsume who grew up in the mansion of the Tsuchimikado family did not have many friends.One can imagine how lonely and sad the young heart was.

……

After listening to the little girl's narration, Li Pingan pretended to think for a while, and then said in a sincere tone.

"...That's right. But, you also know that Chunhu didn't do it on purpose, right?"

The little girl nodded silently.

"...I knew that the clever little Natsume must have discovered the real reason for the misunderstanding between you two."

"—That is, you and Harutora are fundamentally different."

Xiao Xiamu's body trembled imperceptibly.

"...Although the two of you seem to be of the same age, you usually have a lot of fun together... But Xiao Natsume, you should have already discovered it?" Li Pingan sighed and said softly, "You are Tsuchimikado The son of the main family will inherit the heir of the thousand-year-old Onmyoji family in the future. This is your glorious mission, but it is also an unimaginable burden... For the current little Natsume, this may still be a little far away, but there are some things , from now on, you should be enlightened."

——"Because, from the moment you were born, you were doomed to bear a heavy fate that ordinary people can't imagine; from the beginning, you were doomed not to be able to live the life of ordinary people."

"But Chunhu is different. He is just an ordinary child right now? So, if you want to get along well, you have to be considerate of this and understand the differences between the two of you, and then you can get along more harmoniously. I believe that Chunhu Side, too."

"If I'm not mistaken, Chunhu must come over and apologize immediately after he finds out about your situation. Because he is a very serious and honest child." Li Pingan said with a smile.

The little girl's expression seemed to relax a little.But soon, a worried look appeared on her little face again.

"...Then, what should I do...to eliminate this gap between me and Harutora-kun?"

"...Well..." Li Pingan scratched his chin, showing an ambiguous expression, "...Maybe only God knows."

...

Chapter 391 The Cultivation of Initial Results T

—Of course, most of the above words are deceptive.

It's okay for others to say, after all, the Tuyumen family has worked hard to keep their own secrets, but as a player, Li Ping'an naturally knows the truth.

Tsuchimikado Harutora is not the so-called "ordinary person" in his mouth at all, on the contrary, he is the person who was born to stand in the center of the world's stage - the strongest onmyoji ever, the genius of onmyoji, The reincarnation of Tuyumen Yeguang possesses the memory and spell power of Yeguang.

...Of course, knowing and speaking out are two different things. If a few parents of Tsuchiyamen's family find out that an outsider knows this kind of secret, it will probably be very troublesome.

……

In short, the general situation did not exceed expectations, and Harutora Tsuchimikado, who had already vaguely noticed that Natsume was different from himself, did sincerely apologize to Natsume, and the little girl forgave him not unexpectedly.

Afterwards, the two played together again every day—even so, the influence of this matter has not completely disappeared, and the two can no longer be as close as before—there is an irreparable relationship between them crack.

This kind of emotion is actually not unfamiliarity and indifference, on the contrary, it is caused by two immature and pure hearts, hoping to understand each other.

According to the original development, after Tsuchimikado Harutora apologized, Xiao Natsume would make a childhood agreement with him: let him be her shikigami, so that she will always be by her side and protect her.

But now, Tsuchimikado Natsume realized one thing: Harutora-kun, as an ordinary person, might have been able to live a peaceful daily life, and spend this life in a calm and ordinary way.

But if you want to be with yourself all the time... you will definitely be involved in some incidents that ordinary people can't deal with, right?

Would that kind of life be what Harutora-kun wanted?

As the fate of an onmyoji, he must bear the responsibility of exorcising demons and eliminating demons and taking on the responsibility of the family... These things are hard enough to bear alone, so there is no need to involve Chunhu-kun, right?

Little Natsume, who is kind by nature, immediately changed his original thoughts after realizing this.

...Big brother is right, she and Chunhu-kun...are different after all.

Wouldn't it be too much to involve the innocent Harutora-kun because of his willfulness?

……so.

So, leave it to yourself.

Even if it would cause him to be separated from Mr. Chunhu.Maybe it will become a stranger in the future.

...It's sad, but it's... something that can't be helped.

So, the girl made up her mind——

"...Then, it doesn't matter to me." Li Pingan said to the little girl solemnly, "Because I am also a person with power beyond ordinary people, and I understand the world you have to face... I can understand your troubles."

"...So, if there is anything that bothers you, Natsume, please feel free to tell me."
