Chapter 153: There is only one bottle, it seems not enough to drink
After the summer solstice, the daytime hours become shorter and shorter.
As evening approached, I went to the Zen temple's house and Shen'er was already waiting for me in the courtyard.
"You're taking so long." He sat on the broken stone bridge, one foot propped up and the other foot barely touching the water, gently wiping the cursed tool that he had lost and found - Youyun.
"Yes," I said, "it takes time to say goodbye."
In the end, I didn't find where Gojo Satoru was.
Mingming said he could give me a crow so that I could exchange money-making experiences with myself in another world after I passed away.
Knowing the truth, I refused.
The singer regretted that after I left, no one beat up Gojo Satoru anymore.
I suggested that she rely more on Geto and Yoga, but she just shook her head in annoyance and said, "Teacher Zenin, you don't understand."
I really don't understand.
Nanami said reliably that she would continue to practice and would definitely not let me down.
Hui Yuanyuan said with full energy: "Teacher Zenyuan, even if you live in another world, you must be happy."
In the end, I talked to Nishiko for a long time, and it was probably more than an hour.
I was a little drunk, and the details of what we talked about are very vague, as if I were in a dream.
"Teacher Zenin." Before leaving, she tilted her head and said, "Can you help me pass a message to Jiaru Nizoko in the other world?"
"If you can, quit smoking."
"That's all you have to say." I asked, "Can't you say a little more?"
"No." She shook her head decisively. "I have a clear understanding of my future. Perhaps this is the only blessing."
As she spoke, she pulled out a lady's cigarette from her pocket, put it in her lips, and fumbled for the lighter in her pocket.
"Huh?" I was stunned and asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you wanted to quit smoking? Why did you start smoking again?"
"It's the last time." She smiled at me calmly, "Besides, it feels cool to light the fire in front of the teacher."

There is a full moon tonight.
Shen'er and I had a great fight, and in the end, both of us were exhausted and leaned against a tree trunk lying across the yard to rest.
I originally thought this thing was very abrupt, but after looking at it for a long time, I actually found it pleasing to the eye.
"It's so beautiful." I looked up at the sky.
The bright moonlight shines in the courtyard and on the small pond under the stone bridge, creating silver ripples like fish scales.
Countless stars are twinkling in the sky, each one is so bright that it seems to be within reach in the endless sky.
However, only when you really reach out your hand, will you realize that it is hundreds of thousands of light years away and is something so far away that you will never be able to obtain it in your lifetime.
In the next ten years, urban light pollution will be serious, and it will be rare to see such a beautiful night sky.
"Can you drink?" Shen'er suddenly asked me.
"Yeah." I nodded, "I can drink a lot."
Without saying a word, he walked to the refrigerator, took out two bottles of wine, and handed one to me.
I took it and sniffed it gently, it had the fragrance of osmanthus.
"Osmanthus wine is really suitable for the occasion." I sighed, "It would be even better if it were autumn."
"Who told you to leave now?" Shen Er said, "You won't stay until autumn."
I touched his cup with the mouth of the pot and said softly, "Here's to you."
"What are you respecting me for?" He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do I have to respect?"
"Cheers to you..." I thought for a while, "Cheers to you for finally getting rid of my bondage."
"Humph." Shen Er snorted coldly, "I think you are eager to leave."
"Hey~ I don't have any." I raised my hand and took a big gulp of the wine, "Ahem... why is it so strong?"
"Didn't you say you could drink?" he said coldly, "Then drink more."
“Drink as much as you want.” I said nonchalantly, “I can’t get drunk in this body anyway.”
Hearing this, he was silent for a moment and asked me, "Don't you think this is a curse?"
"A curse?" I murmured. "Well, it is a curse."
The sober person is always the one who suffers the most.
"Where are Meegumi and Tsumeiki?" After drinking half a pot of wine, I looked around and found that they were nowhere to be seen.
"He fell asleep." Shen'er said, "He cried himself to sleep."
"Ah... I made them cry again..."
I stared at the moon with a sense of loss, and suddenly the words of Gojo Satoru during the day came to my mind: "If you were leaving, why did you come here in the first place?"
"Seriously," I asked him, "Do you think it would be better if I didn't show up?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Because..." I paused and finally didn't ask.
He glanced at me sideways, picked up the wine and swallowed it, and said, "Since you asked, I will answer it."
"No one blames you for showing up," he said. "If anyone is to blame, it probably isn't because of this."
"Oh..." I sighed softly, summoned out the ugly treasure and placed it in front of him.
"I guess your original ugly one won't come back, so I'll leave this one for you."
The Soul-Releasing Sword was given to Nanami, Yuyun was given to Haibara, and the Tenshoku was finally left by me to Jie.
The only thing I can give him is this cursed spirit.
Hiss...it really sounds like he is making arrangements for his final affairs.
"It." He glanced at the ugly baby who was still calling "Mom" after being abandoned, and said lightly, "You can't really use it at all."
"Yeah." I lazily brought out the same excuse I used before, "After I go back, I'm going to retire from the underworld."
"Tsk." He took a big sip and said, "You don't say a word of truth."
I:"........"
"You don't have to think about making it up." He tapped my head a little hard, "Like I said before, I don't care about this."
"............" After a moment of silence, I said, "I didn't retreat from the puppet."
"That guy said that the money has been paid and there will be no refunds."
"Trickster."
"Isn't it!" I said excitedly, "He is an even more cunning businessman than Kong Shiyu!"
"The doll is behind your refrigerator." I said almost to myself, "I know you don't dare to see her at this time."
"Then let's wait until Baagumi grows up."
I looked at him and said, "At that time, it won't be you who goes to see her, but she who comes to see you. How about that?"
".......Did you understand what I said at that time?"
"What do you think?" I laughed. "What? You coward."
He also raised the corners of his lips, "Well, I am a coward, so what? It's like I'm very brave."
I immediately retorted: "It is because the world is full of cowards that brave people are so precious."
"If you don't disagree, I'll take it as your consent."
"........Yeah." He paused, and finally agreed, "Even if I didn't promise you, I probably wouldn't do that in the future."
"That's good."
After the laughter stopped, the courtyard returned to silence.
".......Are you leaving?"
"Yes." I stood up and pointed at the door that finally appeared, which was made up of flowing colorful lights.
With the naked eye, one can see that the light is getting dimmer little by little as its energy disappears.
I said, "If you don't leave now, you may not be able to leave."
"Goodbye, Shir," I said.
"Well." He drank the last drop of wine in the bottle, raised the bottle and said, "I toast to you too, for finally getting rid of my shackles."
"Goodbye." He said, "If there is ever a day when we meet again, please bring me an extra bottle of osmanthus wine."
"If there is only one bottle, it seems not enough."
