Crossover Anime: Randomly Setting Up a Stall with Binchotan Charcoal

"Grandma, have you met the Dew God? It seems the Dew God likes you very much," Reiko said with a smile.

"You silly child..." The old woman chuckled, "I was so young back then. The Dew God must have loved every child. But..."

The old woman sighed and continued, "Now no other children come to worship the Dew God. The Dew God must be very lonely."

"With the old woman around, the Dew God will never be lonely."

"Hehe, you're so good with words, here, take all these peaches."

The old lady was so happy that she gave all the peaches in the basket to Lingzi.

Lingzi was taken aback, then reached out and took it.

"Eat these if you're hungry. Don't take the offerings from the Dew Goddess. Grandma is going back now."

"Thank you, Grandma. Goodbye, Grandma."

"Okay. I'm leaving."

After watching the old woman leave, Lingzi looked at the Dew Goddess beside her.

Without faith, deities like the Dew God will dissipate. She encountered the Dew God decades ago; back then, he was as tall as an adult, but now, having lost his power, he is only ten centimeters tall.

"I've been telling you to go somewhere else for ages, why are you doing this?"

"So it really is Reiko? You're still alive?"

“I’m alive and well, but you’re almost gone. She’s the last one to offer sacrifices to you, isn’t she?”

“Yes…” Lu Shen nodded, looking in the direction the old woman had left, her tone filled with reluctance: “Hanako’s condition is also very bad. When she passes away, I will probably disappear as well.”

"Little Natsume really meant well but did something wrong. If the Book of Friends contract were still in place, at least you could still absorb my power to survive."

“Little Natsume is much gentler than you,” Dew Goddess chuckled. “But Reiko, you really don’t take the Book of Friends seriously. There’s even a grain of rice stuck to my precious name; I almost couldn’t tear it…”

“Uh…” Lingzi’s face stiffened, and she was too guilty to speak.

"Do you want to move to a different place? I have a way to replenish your demonic power. We can find an unclaimed shrine to worship you."

Dew Goddess paused for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, "No need, this place is fine."

"The bond between humans and demons is just too painful," Reiko sighed.

"No..." After taking a bite of the peach, Dew Goddess smiled and said, "It is precisely because of our connection that we fell in love. You should understand this now, Reiko."

Reiko was taken aback. Yes, I already understand...

Having traveled through time, I cannot bear to part with Xia Jun.

Even the goddess Ryushin can't bear to part with Hanako.

Even if they've only met once.

"I don't care about you anymore. If you want to go with Hanako, then go ahead. But you have to come with me to a party today. There are a lot of monsters there. Come with me first."

"Haha, Reiko, you've finally accepted the monsters! Looks like you've met a really good person."

Reiko smiled without saying a word, happily pulling Hishigaki and Rukami to the next stop.

I am Hidaka.

A bird-like monster.

I originally lived in a valley where spring was warm and flowers bloomed, and there were many small animals, making it lively and bustling.

Flowers, birds, monsters, humans—so many things! I love lively scenes the most.

Later, there was a period of severe drought, and the river changed its course.

The vegetation in the valley had all withered and died, and everyone in the valley gradually moved away.

I was also packing my bags to leave,

But on that day, a human child came.

Her name is Lingzi.

She likes being around people, just like me, but no humans play with her.

There are no other monsters in the valley to play with me now.

"Come and play, human child."

"Sure, I'm pretty free anyway."

So I invited Reiko to play a game, and Reiko agreed.

"I want to play a game between humans," Reiko thought for a while, and then we started playing kicking stones.

This is so much fun!

We played from dawn until dusk.

In the end, I lost the name. Actually, Reiko also said that she didn't quite understand the rules.

But it doesn't matter, I had a lot of fun.

The valley became lively because of Lingzi's laughter, and I like liveliness.

Lingzi said she would come back to visit again in the future.

It's a date!

I will wait for you forever.

Fifty years have passed.

Lingzi didn't come, but her grandson did.

· ·Requesting flowers··· ·······

Let's go catch fish, snakes, and lizards together.

The valley became lively again.

But I'm not happy. Reiko's grandson said Reiko is dead.

So,

So, it turns out that Reiko is never coming?

This silent valley will never hear Reiko's laughter again!

Now that I can get my name back, it's time for me to leave and find other lively valleys. I like liveliness.

One last look, it's time to set off...

"Hidaka, Hidaka~ Are you still there, Hidaka!"

Reiko's voice?

Hidaka looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar figure; Reiko had arrived with her friend.

"Lingzi, Lingzi, you're here to play again. I'm so happy."

"Reiko, shall we play kicking pebbles again?"

Reiko looked at the desolate valley, where the rocks had been weathered and the decaying trees had turned into dust, and there was not a trace of green to be seen.

Reiko looked at the monster who had been waiting for her for fifty years, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Hidaka loves lively places, yet he waited for her for so long in such an environment.

"I'm sorry, Hidaka, for making you wait so long." Reiko couldn't help but hug Hidaka.

"Reiko, it's so good to see you here! There are so many people here, let's play together!" Hidaka happily pulled Reiko around in circles.

"Wait, Hidaka, we're not playing here today. Come with me to a party. Lots and lots of yokai, the kind of lively party you love."

"I'm so happy, such happy sounds! I love lively atmospheres!"

"Hey, let's go!"

#@#@

The last rays of the sun disappeared below the horizon, and night quietly fell.

"boom!"

When the fireworks exploded, the entire night sky seemed to be lit up. The colorful lights intertwined, like a dreamlike painting unfolding across the horizon.

The monsters on the ground shouted excitedly; they had truly drunk their way through the night. All the monsters that Yatsura knew Natsume had come.

"So beautiful!" Zili held Duogui's hand and looked up to admire the fireworks.

Natsume looked around at everyone. His father was helping to grill fish, his mother was fanning the fire, Natsume was scolding the mischievous Aqua, and his grandmother Reiko and Hidaka were playing drinking games.

Hidaka must be very happy; it loves excitement, especially at night.

The cat teacher is already drunk.

There's also Bing, who tried to hug Lingzi but got beaten up again; Sanxiao; Zhongji; Kappa Mustache; Tanuma; Hotaru; Lingheng; Rukami; and Kifumi...

How lively and wonderful!

We are of the same ethnicity, but we share beautiful memories.

The colorful western sky

They were genuinely laughing and joking with each other.

Memories of that summer! (Little one)

Chapter 138 Charcoal Teaches the Little Fox How to Drive

That evening, I learned that Xia Tian was going back to Tokyo the next day.

He was ambushed by Duogui.

After leaving behind a bowl of chicken soup and the Soul-Slaying Blade, he was immediately kicked out by Reiko.

Reiko still wants to stay in Yahara; she has many promises to keep, and it's perfect that she lives next door to Takaki for company.

Hotaru also stayed in Hachihara. At several gatherings, she also enjoyed the silly atmosphere with Chuga and the others. Anyway, Xia Tian could fly with divine thunder, so she could just call him back whenever she missed him.

In the end, he only took Xiao Qingyu and the little fox with him.

The two yokai happily followed Natsume and Aqua onto the bus, completely unaware that Ayako had already completed their school registration. Their yokai elementary school days had begun!

Tenshukaku Villa

Little Binchotan was playing in her specially made children's tricycle.

The little guy took the lead, with the much larger dog chasing behind.

Little Chishou, White Maria, and Little Wild Grass also came to play at our house. The girls ran around the yard, their laughter never ceasing.

"Tantan!"

The first thing I saw when I got home in the summer was them. The little ones had all gained weight in just a few days, especially Little Wild Grass. Her little face was chubby, and her dry, yellow hair had become black and smooth.

After watching for a while, he finally called out to Xiao Beichangtan.

Upon hearing Xia Tian's voice, Xiao Beichangtan was startled. "Brother!"

The moment he turned around, the little guy flew off the tricycle and burst into flames, leaping into Xia Tian's arms.

"Mmm!" Xia Tian reached out and hugged her.

"Brother, you're back! I missed you so much." In Xia Tian's arms, Xiao Beichangtan's eyes were red; she hadn't seen her brother for several days.

"Sweetie, your brother missed you too. Have you been eating well these days?" Xia Tian weighed the little guy in her hand; he was quite heavy.

Little Binchotan patted his belly and smiled broadly: "Yes, I eat my fill every day when I get to school, and the instant noodles that Sister Chi makes are also very delicious."

"......" Xia Tian was speechless. Is this what you guys eat at home?

"Brother, are you not going out again this time? Tan Tan wants to see you every day." Little Captain Tan asked expectantly.

I always feel empty when I wake up every day and don't see my brother.
