Desperate to meet a dog

Back at the youkai mansion, Ootengu's stomach growled with hunger.

Arama shook his head with a smile, and went into the kitchen to wash his hands and cook. He cooked a big pot of curry and vegetable soup to accompany the rice. As usual, he shared half with the neighbors, and then filled a big bowl for himself and Ootengu.In addition, he had some leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap and placed on the cooking table.

Big Tengu asked strangely after seeing it: "What is this for? Tomorrow's lunch?"

"No, this is reserved for Gu Huo Niao."

"For aunt?" Big Tengu was surprised for a while, "Will she accept it?"

"You'll know when you get there, let's eat quickly." Huang urged, and brushed off the curry sticking to the corner of Daitengu's mouth, he naturally licked off the sauce on his fingertips.

The big tengu who was "suddenly attacked" was stunned for a while, and forgot to eat for a while.It wasn't until Huang urged him again and again that he realized that he had been staring at Huang for too long, trying to cover up his food with all his might.

After eating and drinking enough, Huang washed the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the prepared curry rice, greeted the big tengu, and walked out of the room together. They came to the door of Gu Huo Niao's room and knocked on the door politely: "Excuse me, I It's Ogiwara, Otengu and I have something to ask you for."

After a while, the paper door opened a crack, revealing the white gauze covering Guhuo Niao's face: "Why are you here?"

"I just made this, and I'll give you a copy too."

"This is the first time you think of giving it to me." Gu Huo Niao said with emotion, and she didn't know whether it was a complaint or a touch. Contrary to Da Tengu's expectation, she accepted Huang's gift.After taking the bowl, Gu Huoniao immediately opened the door and said, "Come in."

Gu Huo Niao's room is as simple as Huang's apartment, but Huang's apartment looks more modern, while Gu Huo Niao's room is more traditional.Back in the room, Gu Huo Niao put the curry rice on the table and poured Huang a cup of tea: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Huang sat upright on his knees, nodded slightly and said, "Jiushijiuan needs to repair the house in the past few days. Datengu and I don't have to go there for the time being, so we want to take this opportunity to go back to the human world."

"You want to go back?" Kuhuo Niao was not surprised, and said bluntly, "I just want to go back. If it's because I don't know the route back to the world, I can ask Zashiki Ware to guide you."

"We don't just go back to visit friends, we want to go to Rashomon."

"Are you going to Rashomon?" Gu Huo Niao unconsciously raised her voice, and asked hastily, "What are you doing there? That city gate has long since been wiped out, don't you know?"

"I know, I just want to investigate something I'm concerned about. It seems that the monster who attacked the big tengu before will show up there."

The white gauze in front of Gu Huo Niao swayed a few times, unintentionally leaking anxious emotions: "You want to track down the monster who attacked the big tengu? Isn't that very dangerous? Have you considered this?"

"I thought about it, that's why I came to discuss with you," Huang said frankly, "We need your help, if you can't take care of the monster mansion, please introduce us to a reliable helper, so that we can act It’s more grounded.”

"After a long time, are you here to bribe me?" Gu Huo Niao turned her head, her eyes fell lightly on the curry rice through the white gauze, and she quietly took it back.There is a saying that cannibals have short mouths.

"I hope you can give us some advice." Huang bowed deeply, his inexplicably respectful attitude gave Gu Huo Niao the illusion that someone in a high position had solemnly entrusted him, so he had to obey.

Gu Huo Niao rubbed her eyebrows, pondered for a while and said: "Well, I really can't leave the monster's mansion. I miss every kid here. Even if I go with you, I will be distracted by them." , so... I will introduce you to a reliable bodyguard."

"Thank you for your help."

"Don't thank me too early," Gu Huo Niao said in embarrassment, "that guy... is very capricious, and he admires power very much. I'm worried that you won't be able to arouse his interest by appearing in front of him like this, but except him Besides, I can't think of a better candidate for now."

Huang and Ootengu looked at each other and asked, "Who is he?"

Gu Huo Niao said loudly: "The ghost of Rashomon, after thinking about it, he is the most suitable, and as far as I know, he is very free recently, so he should be able to match your time."

"How do we contact him?"

"You can't find him, unless he becomes interested in you, he won't show up." Guhuo Niao stood up, walked to the wooden cabinet, opened the cabinet door, took out something carefully wrapped in silk, She put the thing on the table and slowly unwrapped it. It was a gourd the size of half a palm.

Huang picked up the gourd and weighed it, the weight was heavier than expected, he shook it lightly twice, and could vaguely hear the sound of water.Gu Huo Niao said: "Take this with you, and then go for a few laps at the eating and drinking shops in the shopping center in Xijiujo, and he will show up by himself."

"Is this lure/bait?"

"Forget it, this is what he wants the most from what I have kept at hand." Gu Huo Niao's voice revealed a trace of helplessness, "He should appear after smelling this smell, but... the negotiation after that will be up to you .”

As a familiar big monster in the past, when he met a monster with the same big name, the big tengu reflexively repelled him, and snorted unhappily: "Hmph, what a stinky guy, he has a really big temper."

"You may not be kinder than him after you recover your demon power." Gu Huo Niao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Anyway, that's all I can help you with."

"Your help has helped us solve a big problem." Huang picked up the gourd and thanked him. "Ah, by the way, the temperature of the curry rice should be just right now. If it feels cold, I can reheat it for you."

"Don't bother me, I'm more familiar with the kitchen in the mansion than you," Gu Huo Niao said, holding the bowl in front of her with her wings, "tell me in advance when you are about to leave, do you understand?"

"I understand, then let's take our leave." Huang thanked Gu Huo Niao while holding the big tengu's head, and then stood up.The big tengu had knelt for too long and his knees felt numb. When he went out, he staggered unconsciously. Huang Yanji quickly grabbed him, reached out and rubbed his knees, and finally he gave up the idea of ​​letting the big tengu go back by himself. He took it into his arms.

How do you feel... This human being loves the big tengu even more than before?

Gu Huo Niao, who had witnessed the whole process, thought about taking off her veil. She peeled off the plastic wrap on the curry rice, scooped some up with a spoon, tasted it, and couldn't help pursing her lips: "This guy, cooking is really delicious. .”

With the help of Gu Huo Niao and the gift of the gourd, Huang began to plan the schedule of returning to the human world, because the old apartment has been rented out, and he has no income in exchange for money from working in the demon world. It would be best if you can stay overnight.And his savings can cover the cost of meals and transportation, but save money.

Daitengu sat obediently on Huang's lap, watching his pen write calculations on the paper intently, until Huang put down the pen and came to an end, he raised his face and asked, "When are we going to leave?"

Huang lowered his eyes and met the gaze of the big tengu. He habitually stroked the blond hair of the big tengu and said, "I'm leaving in two days. I'll stay there for a while this time. Do you mind?"

"It doesn't matter to me! Well... I will try my best not to hold you back." The previous sentence was still imposing, but the latter sentence seemed to lack confidence. It seems that Daitengu still has a heart for Yan Mo's words.

Huang smiled, pinched his cheek and said, "Don't worry about it, just let nature take its course."

The big tengu who was being appeased unconsciously flapped his wings slightly, he bent the corners of his eyes, and his beautiful pupils revealed a jewel-like brilliance.

After finalizing the time and itinerary, Huang notified Gu Huo Niao one day in advance, and the next day, the two of them left the monster mansion after the little monsters reluctantly saw them off.Zashiki-douji was leading the way for them according to the order of Gushoutiao. Zashiki-douji was much more stable than the mountain rabbit whose mind was only thinking about racing, but she was too shy and would blush when faced with Huang.

Seeing her behavior like this, Ootengu, who originally thought he could monopolize the wilderness, was very unhappy, but his anxiety subsided when he thought that Zashiki Warji just brought them to the junction of the two worlds.

After walking for a long time, a white stone torii gate appeared in the mist. Zashiki Doji stopped and stammered shyly: "There, there. This is the passage to the world, just pass through."

Araka touched Zashiki-douji's head equally and said, "Thank you for your hard work, is it okay to go back alone?"

Zashiki-douji raised her face and stared at him intently, she took a few deep breaths, and then mustered up the courage to say: "I, can I go to the human world with you?"

"What did you say?" Before Huang could answer, the big tengu flying in mid-air exploded, and he swooped in front of Zashiki Doji and asked in surprise, "Why are you going to the world? Do you want to be caught? Do you have any?" Ability to protect yourself?"

"I, I can become like an ordinary child..." Zashiki Doji avoids the big tengu, and looks at Arara pleadingly, "I, I want to go to the human world to have a look, I won't cause you any trouble."

"You are already a big trouble to us now!" The big tengu flapped its wings angrily, posing as a little adult to reprimand, "Go back!"

"I'm not going back! This is my only chance!"

"you--"

Seeing the two little guys fighting each other, Ara rubbed his temples. He took the lead in embracing the excited big tengu, and wrapped the little boy fluttering in mid-air into his arms to comfort him, and then asked Zashiki Doji: "Why do you want to go to the human world?" ?”

"I am a youkai who was born in a mansion. Before I went to the mansion of youkai, I was living in the human world," Zashiki Doji slowly calmed down, and said clearly and fluently, "I am very concerned about the place I lived in before." The current situation of the family, I want to go and see them."

After listening to her story, Huang didn't blame her, he said gently: "It turns out that you are a good boy, but you have to report to Gu Huo Niao about leaving the monster's mansion, understand?"

Zashiki Boy said in frustration: "If I tell my aunt, she won't let me out. She is very repulsive."

Huang recalled the occasion when Gu Huo Niao appeared in the human world that time. At that time, she was like a statue exuding negative energy, rejecting everything around her. This is probably the expression of her rejection of the human world.But it seems that not all monsters hate the world, at least the Zashiki warji in front of him is not.

Huang thought for a while, then promised: "Okay, I can take you out this time, but don't you know if I'm not an example?"

Zashiki Doji was overjoyed, and before she could say anything grateful, Otengu suddenly pulled Arara's face and asked dumbfounded, "Why did you agree!"

Huang followed the big tengu's movements, looked down at him and replied: "If you don't bring her with you, I'm worried that she will sneak out with us by herself, and it will be troublesome then."

"That's enough trouble now!" Big Tengu pursed his lips, turned his head awkwardly and said nothing.

What about the promised two-person world, big liar!

Zashiki Warouji, who had just obtained approval, became trembling again and looked at Arara helplessly.

Huang looked at her, then at the angry Ootengu, and sighed helplessly.

This trip is more worrying.

The author has something to say: Big Tengu: We can send her back!

Huang: Good boy, we need fire.
