The night gradually came.
After nightfall, the entire Izanagi clan began to hold a banquet in the brightly lit house.
Plates of piping hot, luxurious dishes and bottles of fine wine were constantly sent into the hall of the mansion, gradually filling up the space on the tables.
The music played by the ancient instruments reverberated in the hall.
The lively atmosphere was stirred up again.
When the Akabane clan was invited to the hall, the atmosphere of the banquet had reached its peak. After everyone sat down, it was extremely lively.
Rozen and Raishin also came here. Although they sat only one step away from the head of the table, not many people paid attention to them.
The adults were chatting with each other, some with warm smiles, some with false faces, some competing with each other in words, and some passing the time in a false show of civility and sincerity.
On the surface, these people seemed to have a good relationship with each other, but in reality, there were so many conflicts in the dark that it made people feel irritated.
In the face of this scene, the younger generation of children did not notice it at all. They gathered together and also laughed and played. From time to time, they stared at the direction of Rozen and Raishin. They looked like they wanted to find trouble with them, but they were much cuter than those hypocritical adults.
Raishin sat next to Rozen, and he was not aware of the secret competition between the adults. He was just a little unhappy to bear the angry eyes of the Izanagi clan kids, as if he turned his grief and anger into appetite, and he kept eating.
Rozen looked at this scene, while feeling that this kind of undercurrent surging atmosphere was quite annoying, he also glanced in the direction of the head of the table.
There, Tumen Qiluo sat alone, looking down at the adults fighting and the kids throwing tantrums. She had a smile on her face as if she was watching a good show. It was easy to imagine how bad her character was.
"Sigh …"
Rozen could only sigh and sigh.
"The adults are really complicated."
Rozen completely forgot that if he counted his age in Chaldea, he was almost thirty years old.
However, Rozen had very little life experience. After coming to this world, he had also been immersed in magic. In addition, his body became smaller, and his mental state seemed to be quite in line with his appearance. In terms of personality, he did not mature much.
Of course, he didn't mature that much, but he couldn't make Rozen stare at each other like those little brats.
So, Rozen could only ignore the behavior of those kids, and looked at the wine in the hands of the adults with some curious eyes.
Obviously, Rozen was a little curious about these wines, and he wanted to taste them.
In his two lives, Rozen had never tasted the taste of wine. How could he not be curious?
From this point of view, Rozen was also worthy of his childish personality.
Rozen also did not notice that in the group of Izanagi Clan children, Kamo Subaru and Gongshou Rozen were also staring at him. Domon Hinowa, who was surrounded by the crowd, also glanced at him from time to time. Looking at him like this, she was a little skeptical about whether Rozen's witty appearance during the day was real or not.
The banquet went on in such a situation.
After three rounds of wine, Tumen Qiluo finally stood up.
"— — —"
The noisy banquet immediately became silent as if it had been arranged beforehand.
Domon Kiran nodded with satisfaction, and her voice rang through the audience.
"Today is the day of marriage between the Izanagi Clan and the Akabane Clan. My granddaughter, Domon Hina, will be engaged to a direct descendant of the Akabane Clan today. This is a good thing."
When Domon Kiran's voice fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Rozen, Raishin, and Domon Hinowa.
In this regard, Raishin felt a little uncomfortable, and Domon Hinowa shrunk her body into a ball. Kamo Subaru and Gongshou Rozen were also unhappy.
Only Rozen, as if it had nothing to do with him, continued to think about how to steal some wine to taste.
Under such circumstances, the situation entered the next stage.
"There is only one person who can be engaged to my granddaughter."
Domon Kiran pointed to the direction of Rozen and Raishin.
"One of them is the second son of the Akabane Clan's Patriarch, who has inherited the Crimson Wing's Blood. The other is the adopted son of the Akabane Clan's Patriarch, whose talent is enough to match the title of Child Prodigy."
Domon Kiran glanced at Rozen and Raishin, and then continued to speak.
"I will choose one of these two to become the son-in-law of the Domon Clan, and let him be engaged to my granddaughter."
After that, Domon Kiran turned her eyes to Akabane Kuukan, who was sitting below the head of the table.
"Patriarch Akabane, do you have any objection?"
Tumen Qiiluo asked this question.
"Of course not." Akabane Kuukan immediately responded, but he also asked, "It's just, I don't know which one of these two are you going to choose?"
That was the theme of tonight's banquet.
Everyone immediately focused their attention.
Even Rozen finally withdrew his gaze from the wine and looked at Raishin, and they both saw the same sentence from each other's eyes.
"It's definitely not me."
That was what the two of them were trying to convey.
Unfortunately, the development of the situation did not go as they wished.
Tumen Qiluo suddenly laughed.
"Both of these two have their merits, and I can't make a clear decision for a while." Domon Kiran announced, "In view of this, I decided to give these two a trial."
A trial?
Everyone present was collectively stunned.
Even Rozen and Raishin showed a stunned expression at the same time, and they didn't know what was going on.
Tumen Qiluo smiled and explained the so-called trial.
"In the back mountain of Tengu Mountain, there is a forbidden place for the Izanagi clan to train the young generation of Onmyoji."
"There are all kinds of Shikigami set up there, all over the mountains, and they will expel those who enter the forbidden place."
"Now, I will open this place to the two sons of the Akabane Clan in the name of Izanagi Clan."
Hearing this, Rozen knew what the content of the trial was.
And Domon Kiran's next words also confirmed Rozen's thoughts.
"I have placed a token somewhere in the forbidden place."
Domon Kiran's eyes swept from Rozen and Raishin.
"As long as one of you brings the token out, then he will be the husband of Hinowa."
In this way, Rozen ushered in the so-called trial.
