The sun was blazing, and the air seemed to be distorted by the heat. The three companions were all clamoring for water. A red apple rolled over and stopped only when it touched Fu Jiang's leg.

Hoshikuma Doji and Kamo Garuya came around, and the three of them squatted together and looked at the apple.

"Are there apples this season?" Kamo Garu asked Tomie next to him in confusion.

"Although the nobles can keep such fruits until winter, there will be water loss, and it's almost summer." The fruit in front of me was very juicy, as if it had just been picked from the tree.

"You can't think it's summer just because Shikoku is hotter." Kamo Garu corrected Tomie.

Tomi Jiang shook his head indifferently, "The season is not important, what is important is why the fruit appeared just after I said I was thirsty."

"So, it must be a trap." Hoshikuma Doji pointed at the direction where the apple was rolling.

If you look closely at the shrubs and grass there, you can see a pair of small round ears.

The little fool over there didn't realize that he had been discovered. He didn't see the three people taking away the apple and throwing another fruit over.

Fujiang took a closer look and saw that it was a persimmon, or a hard and crisp persimmon.

Fujiang glanced at it and showed little interest. It was also an out-of-season fruit.

Seeing that the little civet cat still couldn't get a reaction from them, an orange rolled over.

"What a stupid tanuki." Hoshikuma Doji reached out and picked it up.

Fu Jiang looked at him.

Hoshikuma Doji started wiping the fruit with his sleeve, wiping off all the magic on it, and then handed it to Tomie, "Do you want to eat it?"

Tomie took it.

There was a little sound coming from the bushes. Looking over, the little civet cat had stood up excitedly to observe them.

It seems that they are indeed waiting for them to pick up these fruits.

"Ah!" The round little raccoon cat was suddenly picked up.

It struggled desperately but couldn't move, so it was carried to the three of them.

It looked carefully and saw that the one who caught him was the tallest of the three people, and there were only two people squatting on the ground. When did the strange people come over?

Tomie opened the orange in a good mood, "We've arrived in Shikoku."

You can even meet the mischievous little raccoon cat.

"Well, we're in Shikoku." Hoshikama Doji nodded, glanced at the oranges Tomie was peeling, and then quickly looked away at the little tanuki being carried by Kamo.

Judging from the coat color, body shape and appearance, it should have something to do with the general civet cat.

Fujiang peeled off the orange peel and began to tear the orange's tendons.

"Why can you peel it off!" The little civet cat didn't care about being caught. Instead, he cared about why the magic he put on the orange didn't work.

Tomie had just finished peeling half of the orange tendons. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Hoshikuma Doji in confusion.

"The magic on the orange peel is a bit like an illusion. It's probably like making people unable to peel off the orange peel no matter what." Hoshikuma Doji explained, reaching out and taking away the half of the clean orange in his hand.

Tomie looked at the half-complete orange in his hand, and then looked at Hoshikuma Doji silently. He always felt that this scene seemed familiar.

Star Bear Boy smiled while stuffing oranges into his mouth one by one: "Let me help you try to see if it's sweet or not."

Fu Jiang rolled his eyes, lifted the curtain hat a little, and stuffed the remaining half of the orange into his mouth.

Seeing these two people eating the oranges, the little civet cat struggled even harder. "Why are you okay after eating it!"

Tomie looked at Hoshikuma Doji, waiting for his response.

"There's something like a reverse magic on the orange flesh. The sweeter the orange itself, the more bitter it tastes." Xing Xiong explained to him.

This kind of black magic is not so much used to bully people as it is used to play pranks. The civet cat really has a bad mind, squatting in a place like this just to play pranks on humans?

When Tomie saw Hoshikuma Doji's expression, he knew he was trying to play a prank again, so he cooperated and said, "But, it's obviously very sweet."

"Impossible! Dad said this is the sweetest orange!" the little civet cat shouted in disbelief.

Fu Jiang shook his head. It was indeed very sweet. Such a sweet orange was actually willing to be used for pranks.

Xing Xiong handed over the remaining orange segment in his hand, "Would you like to try it?"

The little raccoon cat looked at Tomie who was still chewing, and then at the smiling Hoshikuma Doji. He really couldn't see the pain of eating a bitter orange, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth and swallow the orange that was placed next to his mouth.

As soon as he moved his mouth, his chubby, furry face instantly twisted into a ball. It opened its mouth and spit out the half-chewed orange. The entire civet cat was petrified with pain.

Hoshikuma Doji burst out laughing, and Tomie couldn't help laughing too.

Hoshikuma Doji could tell what kind of magic had been unlocked, so he could naturally put it back in place intact.

"Are you two so happy bullying children?" Kamo Garu put the little tanuki on the ground. Although cleaning up the naughty children is a very happy thing, it can't hide that the two laughing children next to them are also naughty children.

Tomie approached the little raccoon cat, who was still speechless in shock from the bitter bite, and asked, "Where do you live?"

The little raccoon cat covered its mouth and finally realized what was happening. Big tears fell down. He has been bullying humans all his life, but this time he was bullied by humans!

The little raccoon cat was enveloped in great grievance, and let go of the hand covering its mouth and cried loudly.

Kamo Garu stared at them, who will coax them!

Tomie looked at Star Bear Doji, come here.

Hoshikuma Doji reached out and threw something into his mouth. The sweet taste spread in his mouth, and the little civet cat looked at him with tearful eyes.

Hoshikuma Doji asked him: "Which of the eighty-eight movies are you a tanuki from?"

The little tanuki sobbed and replied: "Twenty-seven of Chiharu-sama's men."

Shikoku is a country of civet cats. There is only one strong man, the civet cat general, who divided the civet cats under him into eighty-eight parts. They imitated the ghosts and walked at night to gain fear.

And Chiharu was the beauty of the civet cat who poured wine for Shuten Doji in the Midnight Road, and she was one of the few female cadres in the civet general's hands.

Tomie immediately began to look at the little tanuki carefully. Fortunately, it was not the unlucky tanuki that he and Hoshikuma Doji bullied back then.

Star Bear Boy smiled and pushed the little raccoon cat, "Go back, I'll let you go."

The little raccoon cat looked at him secretly, and ran a few tentative steps forward. When he saw that no one was trying to stop him, he ran away crying "Wow!"

"Just let him go?" Kamo Garu looked at the two of them curiously.

Along the way, these two people obviously had a treasure-hunting attitude, and they were there to help humans deal with monsters, cursed spirits, and the like that were causing trouble. More often than not, these two people were obviously more interested in some treasures that had been stolen by monsters.

Asking monsters about monsters has become the norm.

"It doesn't matter," Hoshikuma Doji smiled and stood up, "tanuki has a strong desire for revenge."

So sooner or later you will come to them again.

Tomie nodded. After he and Hoshikuma Doji defeated the little raccoon cat, the raccoon cat came to trouble them several times, but always failed miserably.

"We're almost at the beach," Kamoga-ryu asked Tomie.

Tomie looked at Hoshikuma Doji.

Star Bear Doji nodded helplessly, "Well, we're almost there."

I originally expected Kamo Ga-ryu to know the way, but time has proven that that guy has a better sense of direction than Ayu. Tomie has never traveled far, so the three of them can only rely on Hoshikuma Douji when they go out.

"Ah, then you can eat sea fish, right?" Fu Jiang's mood improved a lot.

Star Bear Doji stretched out his hand to pull him up, "Yes, yes, a lot of fish."

After coming out of the mountain forest where Pu Xianweng was, Fu Jiang and the other three headed towards Shikoku as originally planned.

They also experienced several stories about the symbiosis of humans and ghosts along the way, but those were not important. What was important was that they finally reached the territory of Shikoku.

Fujiang feels quite satisfied that he has completed the sign-in and punch-in achievement and is about to complete it.

"Ah, I forgot to ask that tanuki if there is a village nearby." I walked a few steps after Hoshikama Doji and Kamo patted my forehead in annoyance.

After being out for so long, these few people are not rich owners. Compared to sleeping in the wild, it is of course better to live in a human village.

"The tanuki will definitely not live with humans, so we can rule out the direction of his escape." Hoshikuma Doji walked in front and analyzed slowly.

Kamo nodded lingeringly, and then eliminated the direction in which they came, leaving only two general directions to choose from. He was about to listen to Hoshikuma Doji's advice when he heard him say.

"Then, does Tomie want to live in the mountains tonight, or in a human village?"

Fujiang replied instantly: "In the village!"

Star Bear Boy laughed: "Then leave it to fate. It is certain that the gods will not treat their beloved son lightly."

"Huh?" Kamoga said in disbelief.

No matter how much fuss was going on here, the little civet cat on the other side had already run back to the cave where its own tribe was, crying.

"What's wrong?" The civet cat who was slightly larger than him and was responsible for guarding the door stopped him.

Seeing the tears on the little raccoon cat's face, he began to worry, "What's wrong, who bullied you!"

He looked at the little civet cat anxiously, the hair all over his body was blowing up, and he looked particularly angry.

"It's a human being." The little raccoon cat's eyes were filled with tears, and big tears fell down. "It seems to be an Onmyoji."

The older civet cat didn't think of teaching the younger civet cat a lesson about his dangerous behavior. His first reaction was to help him get revenge. He asked, "Where did they go?"

The little raccoon cat shook his head aggrievedly. "have no idea."

The civet cat changed its mind: "Then what do they look like?"

The little raccoon cat became more and more sad as he thought about it, crying so hard that he could not speak clearly, "Two men and one woman. The woman cannot be seen, but she is very beautiful. One man is tall and big, and the other one has white hair and no eyes."

The civet cat couldn't help but frown, "Were you bullied by the blind man?"

The little raccoon cat responded aggrievedly, "Yeah."

"Baga!" The civet cat punched him on the head angrily, really hating that iron could not turn into steel.

"These two rooms are interconnected. Just close the door when you sleep at night." The proprietress of the hotel introduced the structure of the room to the three of them.

Fu Jiang nodded repeatedly.

The charming proprietress looked at Kamo Garu, who appeared to be the oldest among the three, and asked, "Do you want to dine in the restaurant tonight?"

Kamo Ga-ryu looked at Tomie and Hoshi. Hoshi was fine and still looked energetic, but Tomie already looked like he wanted to lie down. It would be impossible to take him out to find food.

So he said, "Oh, please."

Seeing Fu Jiang covering his mouth and yawning in his hat, he asked again: "Are there any fish?"

The landlady nodded, "Yes."

Kamo Gaoliu nodded, "Then please make a dish with fish."

With Kamo Ga Ryu in charge of communicating with the landlady, Tomie began to look at the room they were about to stay in. The landlady arranged for them to be on the second floor. In addition, the hotel is located on a relatively high ground. When you open the window, you can see the coastline in the distance, and you can also see a There is a small pool in the small courtyard of the building.

The small pond reflects the light into the room under the sunlight, and the scenery is beautiful regardless of the distance.

"It's a pity that it's not a hot spring hotel." Tomie sighed softly.

Because he is in the period of changing his voice, Fu Jiang hardly speaks or lowers his voice in front of outsiders.

Hoshikuma Doji tilted his head and asked, "Do you want to soak in the hot springs?"

Tomie nodded, "It's a pleasure to soak in a hot spring after a long journey."

Hoshikuma Doji smiled and said, "We know a monster hot spring. Let's go together next time."

"I can go to the hot spring hotel in Uyashiki."

Tomie was talking about the hotel where Hoshikuma Doji and Ayu sent him back to Kyoto.

Based on his relationship with Master Ubuyashiki, (although Tomie thought it was very subtle), he should be able to go to the Ubuyashiki family's private bath to take a bath. Moreover, it was very close to Kyoto, so it was easy to get there.

Hoshikuma Doji leaned into his ear and whispered: "The hot spring we are talking about is a hotel run by monsters, and it is a hotel dedicated to entertaining gods."

Tomie looked at him expressionlessly and silently conveyed: How can a monster like you enter a hot spring that entertains gods?

Hoshikuma Doji looked at Kamo Ga-ryu and the landlady over there, and after making sure there was no one else nearby, he whispered: "As long as you can afford the price, the landlady doesn't care who comes over."

Hoshikuma Doji told him some of the differences between the hot spring hotel and human residence.

Fu Jiang suddenly became interested in his description, "Okay, let's go and see it together if we have the chance."

"Then, if you have any instructions, you can come to me at the front desk." After explaining the precautions, the landlady left quickly.

"While it's still early, I'll go out and have a look." Kamo Gaishu still had energy, so he was ready to stroll around the town.

After they all left, Hoshikuma Doji opened the 'door' and said, "Then let's go back to Dajiangshan and come back tomorrow morning. If Brother Kamo asks, you'd better tell us to go find out the news."

Tomie was left alone in the hotel, and the lively environment just now was completely quiet.

Tomi Jiang took off his curtain hat and put it aside. He pretended to be a woman and wore a pot costume. It was really inconvenient to do things. He knelt down in front of the closet.

He was thinking about whether he should make the bed and go to sleep right now. It was a bit troublesome to put on and take off his clothes, and whether he might have to go out.

"Boom!" A heavy sound suddenly hit the tatami behind him.

Fu Jiang looked at it in surprise.

A chubby raccoon cat looked at him blankly, with a blush on its face.
