"Asuka-chan, how does this feel?"

The girl in the mirror had black curly hair with a natural and beautiful curve that fell naturally to her waist. Her face was framed by small, curled sideburns, and her black hair was decorated with many white pearls and bows.

Asuka could only see the front, but she knew that Ryusei had done an elaborate and beautiful updo on the back.

Asuka with curly hair looks more charming. If her long, straight black hair makes her look like a royal princess from the Heian period who wears a gorgeous twelve-layered kimono, then her curly hair makes her look more like a little devil in a Gothic castle.

He looks like he's full of bad intentions.

"It's so beautiful! Ryusei's craftsmanship is amazing!"

Feiniao's voice is soft and delicate, and when she praises someone, she unconsciously adds a little bit of her voice, making it sound sweet like a soft strawberry cake.

It is extremely fraudulent.

Anyone who has just met Asuka would never think she is a spoiled little girl.

But the willfulness she carries in her bones is a personal mark that can never be washed away, no matter how many reincarnations she goes through.

However, we will still restrain ourselves depending on the situation.

For example, when you need someone's help.

Asuka tugged at Ryusei's clothes and gave him a cute wink.

It's like they're giving each other a secret code.

Ryusei understood immediately, bent down slightly, and brought his head close to her ear.

"Asuka-chan, is there anything you want to say?"

His voice was very soft, perfectly matching Asuka's tone as if he was about to tell a little secret.

"Ryusei, could you wait until I finish filming? Just now, a little kid said he was your friend, and he said his name was Deutzia."

A look of surprise flashed in Ryusei's eyes.

"Asuka-chan, you can see it too, right?"

"Same as Ryusei." Actually, there are some differences; her spiritual power is stronger.

Ryusei seemed to relax completely; he no longer just smiled faintly, and his clear purple eyes curved into crescents.

"So this is a secret between Asuka-chan and me." A look of nostalgia crossed his eyes. "Will I ever see Soo-shu again...?"

The girl confidently replied, "Of course!"

Because of Lord Asuka!

It is indeed not a good thing for ordinary people to possess spiritual power.

They shouldered more responsibility than others.

Young children bear their fears alone, while older adults bear their secrets alone.

Some evil monsters even specifically target and eat ordinary people with spiritual power.

But having spiritual power also means they have the opportunity to make purer friends.

You can gain simpler, more genuine feelings.

"Monobe-san looks so good in this outfit~ Absolutely amazing!"

Kise is like a bee to a blooming flower when he sees Asuka; if he weren't afraid of offending her, he could even cling to her like a puppy to its owner.

"Alright, it's time to go filming." The manager interrupted Kise's unstoppable praise with a bit of helplessness. "This is Mononobe-san's first time filming, so Ryota will have to teach her a few things."

"Leave it to me!" Kise's face flushed again, and he added, trying to cover it up, "Monobe-san told me a lot about yokai in the car just now~"

Manager Suzuki: "..." Ryota Kise, look at the way you're losing money!

Asuka didn't mind Kise's enthusiasm, after all, she had just said in the previous chapter that she liked enthusiastic people.

Only someone as warm as a little sun can warm her cold-bloodedness.

The theme of this shoot is Gothic.

We need to promote the clothes worn by Kise and Asuka.

The photographer first took a few pictures of people standing in normal positions, and then the instructor started to guide them.

"Kise, move a little closer to Mononobe, and lower your head a little more!"

Mononobe looked into Kise's eyes with a cold, indifferent gaze, as if he were looking at a tiny insect!

Kise's heart was pounding so hard, so loudly that he worried the person next to him might hear it. This was the first time he had been so close to his sweetheart.

Asuka-chan's eyesight is amazing; she completely grasped the instructor's ideas.

Those emotionless black eyes were like black holes, and Kise gradually became captivated by them, willingly sinking deeper into them.

But even though they were so close, his reflection wasn't visible inside.

I'm so unwilling to accept this; I don't want to be looked at like that by Asuka...

I long for love...

How can one be loved...?

"Okay! Keep it like that!"

"Kacha——"

The headlights flashed, and Kise felt like he was about to burst into tears from the bright light.

"Both of them are doing very well! Let's take a short rest now—"

"Kise-kun".

Almost the next second, the cold black eyes warmed up, and Kise saw his own reflection in them.

Something thin pressed against my cheek.

The sweet scent of gardenias filled the air.

It was a clean white handkerchief.

"Why are you crying?"

A voice filled with doubt rang in my ears.

Kise stared at the person in front of him, then suddenly burst into a happy laugh.

"I wasn't crying, the flashing lights just irritated my eyes!"

Although Asuka-chan can be willful and occasionally a bit arrogant.

But she is truly a very warm person.

Asuka, who was secretly praised without her knowledge: dT-Tb So I say, this is a strange world.

The subsequent filming went very smoothly, so smoothly that even the supervisor found it unbelievable.

Putting aside the fact that Monobe's sensitivity to the camera and emotional shifts were nothing like those of a freshman filming for the first time, even Kise performed exceptionally well today.

Kise wants to recruit Asuka so that even if she takes leave from school, they can still meet because of work.

But Asuka was only there to redeem a one-day trial voucher for a print modeling job, and she would only do it once.

Actually, another reason is that she found that being an Onmyoji was more profitable (*I`*).

After declining Kise's invitation to ride home together, Asuka changed her clothes and secretly slipped back to the backstage dressing room.

Ryusei was dozing off on the cleaned dressing table.

He turned his head to the side towards the door, a few strands of his loose hair clinging to his face, softening his excessively handsome features and making him look somewhat cute.

Asuka walked lightly to Ryusei's side, but unexpectedly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his closed eyes gradually opened, revealing clear purple eyes that looked as if they had been washed by water.

"Asuka-chan, I accidentally fell asleep just now." He rubbed his eyes, his voice still a little hoarse. "Sorry."

Asuka noticed the bruises under Ryusei's eyes, and the little yokai next to her hopped around and said, "Ryusei has a lot of tasks every day. He's very skilled, and many celebrities want him to work with them. He hardly gets any rest. Being a human is so hard. Luckily, yokai don't have to work."

"It's alright, I woke up as soon as I arrived."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper with a strange pattern drawn on it from her pearl handbag.

Fortunately, the talisman I left with her last Monday is still in my bag.

Birds are naturally full of spiritual energy, and can seal and remove without the help of external forces.

However, modern people have relatively weak spiritual power, and they need to rely on all sorts of tools to achieve their goals.

Ryusei witnessed the most fantastical scene he had ever seen in his life.

Suddenly, glowing blue lines appeared on the talisman paper, drawing incomprehensible patterns as if no one was controlling them. The newly drawn patterns emitted a faint blue light, reflecting on the paper.

The original pattern seemed to have been swallowed up, disappearing without a trace.

The talisman moved without wind, and the bird, with an ordinary expression, let go of its hand, causing it to fall to the ground.

The moment it touched the ground, the entire room burst into a bright blue light, and a huge magic circle appeared on the floor, only to disappear the next second.

"Deutzia..."

The little monster froze for a moment, but then heard Ryusei call out softly in its direction.

"Ryusei...? Can you see me now?"

“You can still get in touch with them~” Asuka chimed in.

I just see that there's no need for something as complicated as a magic circle.

The little monster ran up to Ryusei and tried to touch his clothes.

This time, it wasn't just about passing through; it was about actually touching it.

"Ryusei!" It happily hugged Ryusei, who had crouched down.

The little monster was the size of a child, and Ryusei could just squat down to be level with it.

"Desmo, it's been a long time." Ryusei smiled faintly. "I thought you were still at your hometown and hadn't returned to Tokyo yet."

"I'll be back after a week! I went to Ryusei's studio every day, and I was always hanging around him, but for some reason, he couldn't see me..." The little monster sounded a little down, but quickly cheered up again, "I kept my promise and came back as soon as I finished taking care of things~"

"Deutzia, these things, Tianxin, you've suffered." Ryusei stroked the little demon's long hair, trying his best to comfort her.

"I hope I can see Ryusei again!"

"Actually, I came here to say goodbye, but I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye, so I've been waiting for Ryusei to see me again."

"Ryusei, you are my first human friend, and I will always remember you!"

"I will always, always remember, Dewdrop."

The oath between humans and monsters is both light and solemn.
