As shikigami, Butterfly and Asuka were not far behind Kikyo, each guarding a spot.

In the quiet atmosphere, Kikyo slightly opened her eyes, slid her fingers across her clothes, and took out a piece of something from inside. The plastic packaging shell showed that it was not from this world.

The sweets called chocolate that Qibao gave her before she left were also one of the souvenirs that A Li had prepared for her.

Kikyo asked the shikigami to put away the souvenirs given by Kagome. She had seen the things inside, including combs, hair accessories, and some decorative items for her daughter's home.

Now she couldn't use them, and it was too conspicuous to carry them with her, so she packed them up. Only the sweets given by Qibao were not put into the souvenir box, but she chose to put them close to her clothes.

Kikyo tapped the bag twice, tore it open along the jagged edge of the bag, revealing the black hard block inside.

As soon as it was opened, a strong and strange fragrance came to her nose. Kikyo hesitated to observe this black stone-like thing. Sweets in Ah Li's world are really strange. How can there be food that is unpalatable except for the taste?

The friction of the plastic bag made a small rustling sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

The strange sound attracted butterflies and birds to look in Kikyo's direction. From the sound, it seemed to be something that Ah Li sent in the morning. There was nothing strange. They turned their heads again and didn't pay much attention.

Kikyo raised her hand, smelled it in front of the chocolate, frowned and looked at it for a long time, and her hand couldn't control a little force.

"Click." It broke with a crisp sound.

Kikyo froze, her eyes slowly widened, and she distanced herself from the chocolate. Her expression was hard to describe.

Broken?

I didn't pay attention and used a little force, and the result... broke.

Fortunately, the broken piece was not big. Kikyo held the broken piece. Her fingertips were cold. If her body temperature was normal, the chocolate would melt and her fingers would be smeared. Kagome would definitely urge Kikyo to put it in her mouth quickly.

When the chocolate was sent to her mouth and the tip of her tongue touched the overbearing sweetness, Kikyo was glad that she had only eaten a small piece.

Too sweet.

Very sweet.

She swallowed the chocolate in her mouth and put the rest beside her. The rich chocolate taste in her mouth did not dissipate for a long time. Kikyo felt that her whole body was marinated by this taste.

After kneeling and enduring for a while, Kikyo stood up silently.

Butterfly and Asuka opened their eyes, and the red hakama passed by them. In a flash, Kikyo had already taken a long step forward.

She hurriedly flew to catch up.

"Go to the river."

Asuka and Butterfly were confused. What were they doing at the river? They responded in their mouths.

"Yes."

"Lord Kikyo, do you want to take a bath?"

If we go to the river, this is the only possibility.

"...No, find some water to drink."

Kikyo licked her lips, sweet.

Asuka tilted her head slightly, "If you are thirsty, we can find it, no need--eh?"

Shocked, Asuka hurriedly took the thing Kikyo threw over, which was a wrapped black "stone", and a sweet smell went straight into her nose.

What is it? The smell is so overbearing?

"Asuka, pack it up."

"Yes." It doesn't matter what it is, Kikyo asked to keep it safe, and Asuka did it.

A few seconds later.

"...Be careful, it's easy to break."

"Huh? Yes."

On the other side, Kagome didn't know that the chocolate she left for Shippo was given to Kikyo by Shippo, and Kikyo tasted it and was so sweet that her tongue was numb.

In the supermarket.

He grabbed a handful of chocolate and put it in the bag, leaning on his hips and squinting his eyes, thinking, "Is this enough? Inuyasha and Shippo both like it, and Kikyo hasn't tried it yet... Put more, chocolate is very effective in replenishing energy."

He took a few more bags of chocolate and stuffed them into the bag. He usually likes to eat chocolate, but it's a pity that it's easy to gain weight, so he eats it carefully. Now that he has become a male body, his physical energy consumption is huge, and he doesn't have as much concerns about eating chocolate as before.

But it's better to eat less sweet things, which is not good for teeth.

"Teeth, teeth, yes, and some toothpaste..."

Kagome shuttled through the supermarket like a little bee. Kusata held Higurashi's mother's hand and watched Kagome running up and down with half-open eyes.

I couldn't help but complain, "Is my brother crazy because of the exam? Did he buy so much to buy goods in the supermarket?" His house is a shrine, and he doesn't want it to become a daily necessities grocery store.

"Souta, don't say that." Higurashi's mother smiled and reminded him, "Don't forget that Kagome has another group of friends."

"Uh." Forgot.

Souta rubbed his head. He was busy with exams these days. There were several times when he got up to go to the bathroom at night and could see the light coming through the gap in Kagome's room.

This time, his brother came back longer than before. He almost forgot that his brother had a mission in another world.

His brother is so awesome. If he were himRunning back and forth, fighting monsters, there is absolutely no time to focus on studying.

Kusata sighed, and took the basket from Higurashi's mother, "Mom, you go buy vegetables, I'll carry the basket, Grandpa said he wants to buy tea, the wine at home is all gone..."

"Eh? Finished? Dad secretly drank again?"

"Really... I have to go to the hospital for a check-up this week, I can't keep my mouth shut like this..."

-

After picking and sorting out the necessary supplies, Kagome returned home with a large plastic bag in one hand while checking out at the cashier.

Waiting for the next day to come.

The next day.

Kagome got up early, packed her luggage, and her backpack was bulging. When she was carrying it, she stumbled and almost fell. With the help of Higurashi's mother, she was carried to the ancestral hall.

"One, two, three--"

"Bang." Throw it into the bone-eating well.

Kagome clapped her hands, leaned on the edge of the well and looked down.

Higurashi's mother looked reluctant, and took two steps lightly, "Do you really have to hurry... It's not too late to leave after lunch."

"Mom."

Kagome shook her head at Higurashi's mother's request, her eyes full of apology, "I'm sorry, Mom, the matter over there has not been resolved. Steel Fang... The young master of the demon wolf tribe has eight pieces of the Four Souls Jade in his hands, and we must get them."

"Besides, the time agreed by my friends and I is two days late, and they are still waiting for me."

Higurashi's mother's disappointment was fleeting, and she quickly sorted out her mood, opened her arms and hugged him, "Be careful."

Taking a deep breath, Kagome hugged back. He was one section taller than her and now needed to bend his body slightly to knock his chin on the neck and shoulder of his mother.

"Well, I know."

During the short separation, Grandpa stood at the door of the ancestral hall and looked at the mother and son hugging each other, his expression was trance, and the scene brought back tears to Grandpa's face, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears and snot.

"Wow, wow, the little guy has grown up..."

"Grandpa, that's too much..." Kagome's eyebrows twitched, as if helplessness spread in her eyes, "and I'll be back in a while."

It made him look like he was going on a long trip, uh, going to the Warring States was going on a long trip.

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing." Shaking her head to get rid of her messy thoughts, Kagome stood up straight and said seriously, "Mom, the test results will come out in a few days, please help me pack up the test papers, I want to see the results as soon as I come back."

Hopefully, the results will still be within her expected range. After two junior high school years, Kagome is very confident in herself, but she is a little nervous, just in case no one can tell.

Higurashi's mother nodded, everyone in the family can feel how much Kagome values ​​this exam.

"And if Hojo-kun comes home, tell him I'm sorry for me..." Kagome stopped talking, and he shook his head violently, "No, I'll do it myself."

Last time I misunderstood Hojo-kun and got angry at him. After that day, I don't know if Hojo-kun is sick. I've never seen him after school.

"Yeah." Higurashi's mother didn't ask any more questions. This was Kagome's own problem. He could solve it however he wanted. When he wanted to tell her, Kagome would tell him naturally.

All that should be said was over. Kusata panted and supported his legs, "Brother, you put all your things in. Is it really okay? How can you carry so many things up there by yourself?"

"No problem."

Kagome didn't care. He sat by the well, his eyebrows curved, and smiled, "Besides, who said I'm the only one."

"Hmph." Kusata pouted and wrinkled his nose. He really couldn't stand his brother's silly smile after falling in love. Is he so happy when someone is waiting for him?

Mother Higurashi raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them with a half-smile, which made Kagome startled and quickly put away her big teeth that were baring their smiles.

"I'm really leaving."

After saying the last sentence, Kagome jumped from the edge of the well. Her feet touched the solid ground, and in an instant, her feet lost the feeling of being on the ground and her body was in the air.

Stars flew past her body quickly, and the psychedelic passage in the well only existed for a moment.

Kagome looked up, and the dazzling sunlight was blocked outside the well.

The sunlight could not reach the bottom of the well, but the white head at the well mouth was so bright under the reflection of the sunlight that people could not open their eyes.

"Hmm." Kagome opened her palms to block in front of her, and her eyes narrowed into a slit.

What?
