If this matter could be explained so easily, Ibaraki-douji would not be that Ibaraki-douji.

Shuten-douji picked up the runaway Ibaraki-douji and beat him by hanging. Halfway through the beating, he felt that his strength had not recovered, and he felt very tired, so he threw him away and lay back to sleep again.

Ibaraki-douji was full of depression, but he didn't dare to disturb Shuten-douji in his sleep, so he could only sit cross-legged on the edge of the bed, thinking about how to explain Shuten-douji so that he could believe it.Recalling what happened in the past few days, he felt that this matter might be a bit outrageous, and he had to invite Hong Ye, the person involved, to explain it.

Ibaraki Doji sat on the ground in a daze for half the night, and then fell asleep sitting up without knowing it.

In the early morning, Shuten-douji, who had a good night's sleep, opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Ibaraki-douji, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and sleeping with his neck tilted.

Shuten-douji stretched his muscles, lightly laid him flat on the ground, covered him with the quilt, and then opened the door and walked out of the guest room.

It was still early, and the morning light of the sunrise was still hidden in the mountains, with only sporadic corners showing through. Most of the people and demons in the Nuliang group were still asleep.

Shuten-douji glanced around in the corridor, and saw a little old man sitting not far away, holding a curled up little fox in his arms.

The little old man, the first general of the Nuliang Group, the slippery ghost Nuliang Huapiao.

Nuliang Huapiao heard the movement, turned his head, looked at Shuten-douji with a smile, and nodded slightly to him.

When Shuten-douji first came to Ukiyo-e Town, he also came to the Nuragumi to say hello. In this respect, he knew the rules and greetings better than Izuki-douji.

"I heard you didn't get what you wanted?" Nuliang Huapiao was afraid of waking Fox Nosuke in his arms, and spoke very softly, "I'll ask Lu Sheng to help find out."

Shuten-douji sat down cross-legged beside Nura Yu-ho, and asked, "Ukiyo-e Town, are there any youkai that suck the evil spirit?"

"There are no wonders in the world." Nuliang Huapiao laughed, "I guess there are."

Jiu Tun Tong paused, looked at Nu Liang Hua Piao's old side face, and asked, "Do you know Yuyi Fox?"

Nuliang Huapiao was obviously stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Where did you hear this name?"

"When Painted Skin Ghost tricked me into his lair." Shuten-douji crossed his legs and put his hands on his knees. His posture and tone were obviously relaxed, but it made people feel inexplicably coercive.

"The Painted Skin Ghost's attitude is very arrogant, thinking that he has restrained me, he said, 'When Lord Yuyihu comes, your skin will be mine'." Jiu Tun Tong raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, is he a troublesome person? "

Nuliang Huapiao sighed, shook his head and said: "If the feather fox is involved, things will be a little tricky."

Jiu Tun-douji didn't ask any further questions, he nodded and said, "Don't interfere too much between different capitals, the demon pill is for repaying kindness, if it's too dangerous to take it back, it won't matter to me." Pointless."

Nuliang Huapiao nodded and said, "I will tell Lu Sheng."

Neither of the two spoke again, they sat quietly until the sun rose, the morning mist cleared, people's voices could be faintly heard on the street, Ibaraki-douji also woke up from his sleep, looked around the room and found that Shuten-douji had disappeared, a shock came. He opened the quilt, opened the door abruptly, and shouted: "Best friend!"

Foxnosuke, who had spent the whole night in the corridor, was frightened out of his wits by the roar from the ground, and subconsciously wanted to run away with his tail between his legs, but was pushed back by Nuliang Huapiao with a smile: "Oh, oh, Little fox, don't panic, grandpa is here."

Foxunosuke slowed down and saw Shuten-douji sitting next to him at a glance. He immediately entered the working state, took out a pen and paper and handed it over: "Shuten-douji, I am Foxunosuke of the International Committee of God Examiners. Deal with your disappearance in Ukiyo-e Town. According to the reports of Ichishin and Tsurumaru Kuninaga, for some reason, you did not return on time and damaged your pass. Although there is no penalty, it will reduce your credit index, and you will not be able to apply for a pass next time. So easy. If you have no objection, please sign it."

"Okay." Shuten-douji took the pen and paper, and was about to sign, when Ibaraki-douji walked over quickly from the door of the guest room, sat down beside him, and patted him on the back.

"Best friend! Why don't you call me when you wake up!"

Shuten-douji was suddenly pushed, and the tip of the pen that was halfway through the signature "whoosh" drew a black line upwards, running through the entire report paper.

Shuten-douji was silent for two seconds, then looked up at Foxunosuke.

Foxnosuke looked at Shuten Doji with a confused face, and then showed an expression of wanting to cry without tears, and said in despair: "I wrote a report all night!!"

There was noise one after another, and not long after, Ichiki Ikshin and Tsurumaru Kuninaga also came out of the room.

"You guys are so energetic early in the morning." Tsurumaru Kuninaga yawned, sat next to Foxnosuke, and asked in confusion, "Hey, why are you still writing the report."

With tears in his eyes, Foxosuke held a pen between his little paws, and while feeling sorry for himself, he wrote vigorously. He said indignantly, "I won't go on missions with you in the future."

It is obviously not the first time Tsurumaru Kuninaga has heard such words. He chuckled lightly, disapprovingly: "Do you want to go with that pair of brothers or those two from the Hijikata family? Now there are only three teams in the two-person team. The rest are five-person teams, the mission is too dangerous, without a tow bottle... Or do you want to go back to Honmaru for remote assistance?"

Foxnosuke said angrily, "I'm not an oil bottle."

"Okay, okay, don't be so sad." Tsurumaru Kuninaga smiled and lay down on the ground, "Come on, give me the pen, and I'll write the report for you."

"No need, I wrote so much with great difficulty, in case you give me..."

Before Foxosuke could finish his words, Tsurumaru Kuninaga had already pulled out a pen from his paw, and drew a Q version of a fox with simple strokes on the signature column, and drew a dialog box beside it, writing: "I , Foxnosuke, going on strike."

Fox's help: "..."

Foxnosuke: "Master Tsurumaru!!"

"Okay, don't waste time." Yiqi Yizhen came over, he raised Tsurumaru Kuninaga in one hand, threw it aside casually, took the pen and paper in the other hand, and said, "Let me do it."

A quarter of an hour later, Foxanosuke finally got the complete report signed by Shuten Doji.

Foxnosuke carefully put away the report and said, "Then, it's time to return to Heian-kyo."

Under the watchful eye of Nuliang Yupiao, Foxnosuke opened the portal.

Ibaraki-douji chattered after Shuten-douji, still explaining what happened to the maple leaf last night.

When he passed through the portal, he had a vague feeling that he had forgotten something, but compared to Shuten-douji, it was really insignificant.This thought disappeared into Ibaraki Doji's mind like a puff of smoke as the portal closed.

The teleportation gate opened at the Metropolitan Assembly in Heian-kyo. Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji were about to return to Oeyama, and Foxnosuke had to ask Abe Seimei to sign. The two groups bid farewell and parted ways.

Shuten-douji was walking on the bustling streets of the capital, and Ibaraki-douji followed behind him step by step like a pickled radish.

"How about the Cherry Blossom Festival?"

"It's going well."

"Who is the guest performer?"

"Hongye." Ibaraki Doji felt a little headache when he mentioned this name, "Didn't you write the plan?"

Shuten Doji nodded and said, "She didn't agree at first, I thought she wouldn't come."

"I didn't see that she wasn't happy." Ibaraki Doji said angrily, "The day I came to Dajiangshan to discuss, I lost my soul."

"..." Shuten-douji said speechlessly, "Yimulian is Hongye's fan, you have been against him every year, and you didn't investigate this matter?"

Ibaraki Doji never moves his hands or speaks, let alone grabbing pigtails behind his back. He held back for a long time before saying: "None of my business."

Shuten-douji saw the long journey, so in order to prevent Ibaraki-douji from yelling and explaining about Hongye, he found a topic to chat with him.Hearing that he was so annoyed by this matter, he couldn't help being curious: "What do you think of Hongye?"

Ibaraki Doji immediately confessed: "I thought you fell in love with her. It was the first time you were so interested in a banshee when the game selected the heroine. I am going to eliminate dissidents according to the usual practice."

Shutendouji paused.

By convention?

Shutendouji was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at him, and asked suddenly: "Did you poison the cherry blossom demon last year?"

Ibaraki Doji: "..."

Ibaraki Doji laughed dryly: "Of course not."

Jiu Tun Tong couldn't see any emotion, and said indifferently: "You didn't do it, you let Zhen do it."

Ibaraki-douji was about to explain, but Shuten-douji raised his hand and interrupted: "I am a little curious, why did you attack the banshee who approached me?"

What a great question!

Ibaraki Doji immediately expressed his heart: "Because I like you."

The phrase "I like you", said from the mouth of a person who is not good at expressing emotions, is a love story that can make people's heart beat, but it is said from the mouth of a person who is passionate and unrestrained and confesses twice in three days, just like "Today's weather Nice" sounds about the same.

Shutendouji didn't respond, and even nodded as if nothing had happened, and asked again: "Besides Hongye and Sakura Demon, who else have you attacked?"

Ibaraki Doji's expression was indescribable, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and said frankly: "Recently, there is the Peach Blossom Demon, and the others... can't remember clearly."

"It doesn't have to be like this in the future." Shuten-douji didn't mean to blame, but nodded and said, "If this kind of problem happens in the future, just tell me."

Although Ibaraki Doji didn't understand why he had to tell the person directly about it, but after all, he was guilty of being a thief, so he nodded his head: "No problem."

The corner of Jiu Tuntong's mouth curled up, and before they knew it, the two had reached the foot of Dajiang Mountain, and they heard shouts from afar.He continued: "You should already know that Hongye is the banshee who prevented Painted Skin Ghost from taking your skin back then. Although she was reckless, it didn't help much, but after all, there were so many monsters present at that time, she was the only one who stood up. Now she Losing the demon core, I can only survive as a shikigami, and because of her intentions back then, I decided to find the demon core for her."

Ibaraki-douji frowned, as if thinking of something, he said in surprise, "Shikigami? Seimei's?"

"Yes." Jiu Tundoji nodded and said, "Ping'an capital was not peaceful back then, there were constant conflicts between humans and monsters, and there was an incident of painted skin ghosts. I received the God-inspector and handed over the demon bones of Hongye to me. She lost her After I got the demon pill and the skin bag, my soul should return to the underworld. It happened that I had a lot of contact with Qingming during that time. After he heard about it, he took Hongye as a shikigami. It’s just that shikigami rely on the magic power of an onmyoji to survive, and human life is short. Once something happens to the onmyoji who provided her with mana, she will die immediately. After that, Hongye stayed in Seimei’s shrine to cultivate her body. Afterwards, many things happened, and I gradually forgot about it until Met a few days ago."

Ibaraki Doji suddenly said: "She seems to have changed, I didn't recognize it at all."

"Of course the re-cultivated physical body looks different." Shuten-douji glanced at Ibaraki-douji and said, "But Seimei dismissed all the shikigami around him a few years ago, and you can guess it just based on this."

Ibaraki Doji shrugged: "I didn't know she became a shikigami again."

Shuten Doji doubted, "Can you tell the difference between a monster and a shikigami?"

"Of course I can." Ibaraki Doji felt that the IQ of the big monster was being questioned. He snorted softly and said, "One uses monster power and the other uses magic power. You can tell the difference by looking at the monster pill. But now is a peaceful age, such a weak monster Not worth my watch."

Shuten Doji also snorted, "You never cared about that banshee who saved you back then?"

"The skin and the demon pill were taken away in front of me, of course I thought I was dead." Ibaraki Doji sighed, "In that case, didn't you get the demon pill back from the painted skin ghost? Do you want me to go to Ukiyo-e again? Town trip?"

"No need." Jiu Tun-douji said, "This matter involves too much and the danger is too high, so we will hand it over to the Nuliang team, and it is inconvenient for us to take action."

Ibaraki Doji was taken aback when he heard the words, he thought Shuten Doji's words were intended to provoke him to find a demon pill for Hongye, but he didn't expect such a turning point.

In fact, Ibaraki Doji really brooded about the Painted Skin Ghost back then for a while.

When the accident first happened, Ibaraki Doji still felt that he was powerful as a monster, and the Painted Skin Ghost couldn't take his skin away. Hongye was meddling in his own business, and it didn't matter to him if he died.But after calming down, he realized that the Painted Skin Ghost was a monster from Yidu after all, and his purpose was to snatch the skin and the demon pill. Whether there will be other accidents, no one can say for sure.

Hongye was the only one who jumped out of all the monsters. Although she was very weak, even weaker than Painted Skin Ghost, that trembling and firm figure was still vaguely remembered in Ibaraki Doji's mind.

More than ten years have passed, Ibaraki Doji originally thought that the banshee had already died, but what he remembered in his mind was that there was such an incident back then, there was such an overconfident banshee.

But now Hongye is still alive, but she has become a shikigami, and she has to die if Abe Seimei dies.

Although I don't know what's hidden behind the Painted Skin Ghost, but since Shuten-douji said such a thing, it's likely to endanger his life if he investigates further.That's why he will come to the right conclusion at the right time, without losing his mind and living up to his kindness.

Most of the time, Shuten-douji's style of dealing with things is calm and decisive, with a clear distinction between likes and dislikes, and dealing with things and not people.In fact, compared to the vigorous and resolute behavior in the past, after the harmony of the monsters, he is still a little more gentle and gentle, and he values ​​friendship more, but the ruthlessness in his bones will still be faintly revealed.

It was just a small talk, but Shuten-douji never expected that Ibaraki-douji would have so many feelings, and he even put on an expression of wanting to stop, making him get goosebumps from the disgust.

The two walked up Mt. Oe, and went all the way to the cherry blossom forest. There was a noisy crowd not far away. Shuten-douji asked the last question: "How did you find me in Ukiyo-e Town by yourself?"

Ibaraki Doji said, "I went with Daitengu."

Shuten-douji was taken aback for a moment, in fact, since he woke up and fainted and then woke up again, he never saw Daitengu in his sight.

Suddenly hearing a name that came out of nowhere, Shuten-douji couldn't help but wonder: "What about the big tengu?"

Ibaraki Doji was also taken aback: "I don't know."

Shuten-douji: "..."

This matter is actually quite irrelevant, Jiu Tun-douji also asked casually, and soon the two of them tacitly put the matter behind them.

The author has something to say:

I didn’t have time to post it yesterday and wrote a little more today =v=
