Chapter 136 Meeting a Celebrity
After finding out about the Moon Festival at Misumi-yama last night and knowing that the festival would be held the day after tomorrow, Yu Bai bought a train ticket to Misumi-yama that very night.
The morning sunlight pierced through the curtains. Yu Bai woke up early and discussed things with the tsukumogami in the citadel before taking Shinano Toushirou, who had already returned to his original body, out the door.
Because the Saniwa-sama is always being summoned or transported to other worlds, the Touken Mugen (spirits) discussed it with Yu Bai and decided that whenever Yu Bai wanted to go on a long trip, he should bring a short sword that had reverted to its original form.
The short sword is the most suitable type of sword to be hidden on one's person because of its overall blade and purpose. This way, even if the lord accidentally travels through time again, at least Yu Bai will have a short sword by his side.
Most importantly, the combat power displayed by Imaizumi after its ultimate form instantly made the short swords in the citadel shine.
During this period, Yu Bai was also kept waiting to have them line up one by one to undergo polarization.
The short swords that had returned to polarization had become the fathers of short swords in the citadel. Their speed, their lethality, and the fact that they could fight in certain maps at night all told everyone in the citadel that the era of the short swords had arrived!
……
"Phew~ We've finally arrived. But this was a real blunder. I didn't expect the terrain around Misumi-yama to change after the two worlds merged. According to the map, it will take several hours to drive from the station to the vicinity of Misumi-yama. It'll be evening by then."
After getting off the bus, Yu Bai took a deep breath of the fresh air outside and then used his phone to search for the route from the station to Sanyu Mountain.
To his surprise, the terrain here had changed so drastically, and there were no direct buses from the station to Sanyu Mountain. Therefore, he would have to find a way to get a taxi. If it weren't for the fact that it was daytime and there were still many people around, he would have almost used his extraordinary lightness skill to fly there.
Yu Bai closed his eyes and tried to sense the location of Tianyin Feimeng. The festival had not yet started, and he planned to go to Sanyu Mountain to retrieve his zither first.
I thought that after the two worlds merged, I would be able to find my weapon quickly, but I didn't expect that the connection between me and Tianyin Feimeng would be a bit intermittent, like the bad signal of an old television.
As he was thinking this, a man wearing a hat, followed by a shikigami, hurried past him. Yu Bai noticed that the man had a gecko pattern on his neck, the same one he had seen on television before.
Natori Shuichi?
Perhaps because Yu Bai made no attempt to conceal himself and was openly staring at Natori Shuichi, the person being watched quickly became aware of his gaze.
"Ok?"
Natori Shuichi turned around and looked in the direction he felt the gaze. Hiiragi, who was beside him, also looked over. Then, their gazes both settled on the silver-haired boy standing in front of the station, bathed in sunlight.
He stood there, smiling at them, like a character who had stepped straight out of a comic book, exuding a dreamlike aura. A gentle breeze blew by, causing his silver hair to flutter slowly, shimmering with a dazzling and captivating luster.
When Natori Shuichi met those dazzling golden eyes, he felt as if he had been completely seen through, as if all the secrets deep in his heart had been laid bare. Those golden eyes were deep and warm, like a vast golden ocean, making him involuntarily intoxicated by them, even having the illusion that he was about to drown in that gentleness and profundity.
So dangerous!
Realizing he had momentarily lost his focus, Natori Shuichi abruptly closed his eyes, calmed himself down, and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
That boy is too dangerous.
Having spent his days in the entertainment industry, he considered himself to have seen plenty of handsome men and beautiful women. Even as a demon exorcist, he had encountered some powerful demons with exceptional looks, but he had never seen anyone as...divine as this young man.
"Hello, I am Natori Shuichi, this is my shikigami, you can... see her, right?"
Seeing that the boy's gaze not only lingered on him but also swept over the shikigami Hiiragi, who was invisible to ordinary people, Natori Shuichi instantly knew that the boy before him also possessed spiritual power.
However, just at this moment, a young man with spiritual power came here, which made him think a little.
Is this young man also here for the Moon Festival at Misumi Mountain? Is he an Onmyoji or an exorcist?
Since he was confused, Shuichi Natori, whose personality is actually quite eccentric in some ways, decided to take the initiative.
"Hello, Mr. Natori, I often see you on TV. If you're referring to the beautiful lady beside you, I can see her." Yu Bai's voice was gentle and clear, like a mountain spring.
Upon closer inspection, one can clearly see the boy's exquisitely perfect face, and his voice sounds very gentle.
Natori Shuichi reached out and gently shook hands with the boy. Feeling the warm touch of his hand, he couldn't help but sigh. This boy must be very popular at school. He could even become an instant star in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, this gentle feeling reminded Natori Shuichi of his friend: Natsume Takashi.
Speaking of which, Natsume's house doesn't seem to be too far from here. Why don't we go and play with little Natsume after we finish our business?
"Haha, hello hello, looks like I'm pretty popular lately. You really do have spiritual power."
Just as the two shook hands, the black gecko on Natori Shuichi's body suddenly crawled from his sleeve onto the back of his hand. Seeing Yu Bai staring intently at the black gecko, Natori Shuichi said this.
"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Yu Bai, from China. Mr. Natori, please just call me by my full name. I never expected to run into a big star here. Where are you headed, Mr. Natori?"
"Hahaha, I've come for the Misumi-yama Moon Festival. I wonder what you are, Yu Bai..."
"What a coincidence! I'm also here to attend the Moon Festival at Misumi Mt. I heard from some little youkai that the Moon Festival is held at Misumi Mt. every ten years, and tomorrow is the new festival. So, I thought I'd take advantage of my summer vacation to come and check it out."
Hearing Yu Bai's answer, Natori Shuichi understood. Sure enough, this young man had also come for the Moon Festival; he just didn't know whether he was from the Onmyodo or the exorcism side.
"I see. Speaking of which, you also possess spiritual power. I am an exorcist, and so is Yu Bai?" Natori Shuichi asked tentatively.
Yu Bai smiled slightly, a sly glint in his eyes: "I suppose I'm an Onmyoji? Since we're all here for the Moon Festival, shall we travel together?"
After thinking about it, he felt that if he really wanted to say it, he should be considered part of the Shinto side, but he couldn't just say that out loud.
Considering that he had studied Yin-Yang techniques with Abe no Seimei in the past, and that he usually used Yin-Yang techniques in front of outsiders, it was perfectly reasonable for him to call himself an Onmyoji.
After exchanging names and learning that their purpose was the same—the festival on Mount Misumi—Yu Bai and Natori Shuichi hit it off immediately and decided to travel together.
