How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

Moreover... the Chun she knew was indeed somewhat different from the person Paper Dance described... Chapter 777 Chun is a good person

Actually, the era of Kami-mai predates that of Takiyasha-hime. At that time, she was still a child and hadn't grown up, so she didn't know much about it.

However, when she grew up, she went there by chance and discovered the presence of Paper Dance. Only then did she learn about these unknown things from Paper Dance.

However, she was not mature at that time and her view of things was very one-sided. She directly regarded Chun as a fickle person.

He deceived Paper Dance's feelings on one hand, and deceived the feelings of other girls on the other.

Therefore, she naturally overlooked the people's opinion of Chun at that time...

"I remember when I learned about the paper dance incident, my subconscious reaction made me ignore what the people around me were saying, and I simply assumed that Jun was the bad guy. But now, thinking about it carefully, it seems that things aren't like that at all..."

Although the surrounding villagers lamented Zhiwu's infatuation, not one of them spoke ill of Chun.

They didn't seem to know whether Chun was really a womanizer and wanted to just leave, but in fact, they didn't believe Chun would do such a thing.

—The facts are almost right in front of us, yet we still can't believe he did it.

Given Chun's personality, there's no room for them to have too many doubts.

"...I don't have much to say. I just vaguely remember that the villagers all liked Chun very much, and Chun often took care of them in their daily lives."

"Chun... should be a good person."

As Takiyasha-hime recalled what was in her mind, she said this.

"Should he be a good person... Hmm, that's enough."

"Thank you, Takiyasha-hime."

Shimizu Asahi's eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

He seems to have obtained the information he wanted.

"Then, we'll take our leave now, Princess Takiyasha."

Having asked his questions, the young man stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and prepared to leave.

However, Takiyasha-hime called out to him in time.

"Wait, Mr. Shimizu."

"Is this kind of information sufficient?"

Aren't you going to ask any more questions?

The girl's eyes were filled with doubt. If Shimizu Asahi wanted to bring Paper Dance onto the warship, then he would need to persuade Paper Dance how to let go of her past memories.

But now, Shimizu Asahi only briefly learned about Jun's situation, yet he has the confidence to let Paper Dance join?

Is it really not necessary to make any other preparations?

"This is enough for me. Thank you for your help, Takiyasha-hime."

With a slight smile and a gentle nod, without saying anything else, Shimizu Asahi led the girls away after finishing her speech.

Watching their departing figures, Takiyasha-hime blinked silently.

Is that... all there is to it?

"...I hope you succeed."

She sighed silently, as if letting out a sigh, and finally, gently closed her eyes...

------

After leaving the room, the six of them returned to Shimizu Asahi's room.

Shimizu Asahi stretched lazily and said with a smile, "Alright, let's call it a day for today. Tomorrow, we'll go find Kami-mai first, and after that, we'll go find Ashiya Doman."

"Tomorrow is likely to be a tough battle, so we need to get some rest."

"That's not a problem. We're always ready for battle. But... Chaoyang, are you really sure this will convince Paper Dance?"

Reiko had the same question in her mind, and it wasn't just her; other girls besides Ibuki probably had the same thought.

"Don't worry, I won't make a futile effort."

With a reassuring smile, the young man said softly, "You'll find out tomorrow."

"...Since you put it that way...then we won't ask any further questions."

The girls exchanged glances, then chuckled and didn't pursue the question any further.

------

The next morning, everyone got up very early.

After finishing breakfast, they left the watchtower and went to the village to the east... to the house of Paper Dance.

“I have made myself perfectly clear: I will not join you. No matter how many times you come, it will be of no use.”

Before Qingshui Chaoyang and the others could speak, Paper Dance emerged from the paper on its own initiative.

She looked at the six people, her tone relatively friendly, indicating that she wasn't disgusted by their sudden appearance.

“I know, but I didn’t come here just like that.”

“After I got back yesterday, I specifically asked Takiyasha-hime… also known as You-hime, about Jun-san. So, I think we still have something to talk about.”

Shimizu Asahi got straight to the point, and before Paper Dance could even raise any questions, he took the initiative to state the possibility he believed in.

"Does Miss Paper Dance think that Mr. Chun likes you?"

"Ok?"

A simple sentence left Paper Dance, who was about to say something, frozen in place. Her face didn't change, but the atmosphere around her changed completely.

Just like when a girl is asked questions like "Do you have someone you like?" or "Who is your crush?", the atmosphere around Paper Dance suddenly becomes very shy.

However, this feeling did not last long, disappearing in just two or three seconds.

“I made it very clear yesterday that Chun likes another girl in another city, not me.”

As if sighing, the atmosphere of the paper dance returned to its original tranquility.

"If this is all you've come here to say, I think you can leave now,"

Although the atmosphere was calm, the female monster was probably already enraged.

Even after eight hundred years, Paper Dance still remembers Chun. Therefore, she still harbors some resentment for not becoming the person Chun liked. And Shimizu Asahi's words undoubtedly stepped on a landmine.

"Don't be angry, Miss Paper Dance."

The boy wasn't too excited; he smiled, his eyes showing no sign of wavering.

After a slight pause, Shimizu Asahi continued.

"Although Ms. Paper Dance always thought that Mr. Chun liked a girl from another city, I felt that the person Mr. Chun liked had always been Ms. Paper Dance."

"Don't talk nonsense. Chun left here because of that girl from the next city!"

"Several years... since he left for the City of the Sun and was sealed off by Queen Himiko, five years... he hasn't returned for five years!"

"But if that's really the case, then why did Mr. Chun say those things before he left?" Chapter 778 (Chapter 775): A Companion Left Behind

"The person that Ms. Paper Dance likes must be a very outstanding person, right? With such an outstanding person, does Ms. Paper Dance really think that Mr. Chun is fickle?"

The boy chuckled softly, his dark eyes carrying a serene smile.

He seemed to be calmly discussing Jun's affairs with Shimizu Asahi, but for some reason, the girls always had a feeling... there was a hint of cunning in Shimizu Asahi's dark eyes.

It's like a hunter digging a pit, waiting for its prey to fall in.

'The sunrise...that's quite a rare sight indeed.'

Almost everyone had this thought in their mind.

Just as they were all focused on Shimizu Asahi, the sound of Paper Dance rang out.

"...Chun, he's definitely not that kind of person!"

"Since Ms. Paper Dance thinks that's not the case, then why do you think that Mr. Chun likes another girl instead of you? Or did Mr. Chun say that he likes that girl?"

As the boy posed his questions one by one, the smile on his face eased somewhat.

However, Paper Dance was unaware of Shimizu Asahi's thoughts; her emotions were completely stirred by Shimizu Asahi's question.

"No, no, Chun...he..."

Paper Dance seemed to want to say 'Jun said that,' but when she recalled all her memories with Jun, she couldn't find a single sentence like 'I like that girl.'

In front of her... Jun never said anything about liking anyone else!

Could it be...?

At this moment, her emotions became tense. Although she did not have a human body, Paper Dance felt as if her heart was beating, and her body and consciousness were rejoicing at the thought that had appeared in her mind!

"It seems I've gotten the answer I wanted."

Atmosphere can tell people what they want to hear. Feeling the atmosphere around the paper dance, Shimizu Asahi breathed a subtle sigh of relief. Although there was an element of gambling involved, fortunately, he won the gamble.

So the next step is to make paper dance their partner.

"..."

Taking a deep breath, the boy reorganized his thoughts and then spoke softly.

“I learned from Takiyasha-hime that Mr. Jun is a very kind person to the villagers and is well loved by them. Although I have never met Mr. Jun, he has such a good reputation in the Sun Wheel City where everyone treats people kindly. So I think Mr. Jun must not be a bad person.”

"Besides, if Mr. Chun were really a bad person, Ms. Paper Dance wouldn't have fallen for him."

"Although I cannot explain why Mr. Chun went to another city to find another girl, the fact that Mr. Chun said those words means that you are always on his mind."

"His departure was probably just an accident."

"So...would you like to come with us, Ms. Paper Dance?"

"Liberate this city, let the people here, let the city that Mr. Chun loved return to its proper historical track."

"Then, leave this place and find out why Mr. Chun left back then and why he never came back!"

The young man, with a faint smile, finally revealed his true colors, like a hidden dagger.
