[Comprehensive] Neighbors are saviors

In the middle of the night, two outsiders from another world were awakened by the flickering candles and rustling noises outside the window.The girl in light sleep suddenly opened her eyes, and reached out to grab the knife placed beside her.Not far from her, the boy carefully leaned against the bed, observing the situation outside.

"What happened?" Amano Tachibana asked softly.

"Not sure. Shh, someone is coming." Li Xiang replied in a low voice, and walked to the door on tiptoe very lightly.He was still holding the branches that he hadn't thrown away yesterday, with a serious expression on his face.

A burst of noise gradually sounded from far to near, Tachibana put his hand on the handle of the knife, waiting for something to be wrong, then pre-emptive strikes, anyway, it is the best way to take the initiative in your own hands.

"Master Onmyoji... are you awake?" A mottled figure stood in front of the door, and the bonfire flickered.The people outside the door were cautious, with a hint of panic that couldn't be concealed.The two people in the door looked at each other, and the girl nodded slightly, signaling the boy to respond.

Fujimaru Tatsuka coughed, cleared his throat and replied, "Awake, what's the matter?"

The villagers outside the door breathed a sigh of relief, and the rustling of clothes sounded. He held the bonfire in fear and knelt down at the door.

"My lord, please help us!"

The current situation is extremely weird, Tachibana frowned and found that things are not simple.Li Xiang, who was kneeling directly over there, stood up in panic, scratching his face with a embarrassed expression.Tachibana waved to him, letting him make up his mind.

The recent relationship between the two made Tachibana discover the fault of the savior. It's not that the black-haired boy has no ideas of his own, but that he cares too much about her.Tachibana felt that her ideas might not be all right, and she didn't want to put the decision-making power on herself.

Of course, Tachibana also felt that such a Tachibana was a bit strange...why did she have such a respectful attitude towards her?As if she was afraid that she would be angry in the next second...

The orange-haired girl touched her face and tilted her head in confusion.

Could it be that she looks too scary?

"Let's talk about what's going on first." Fujimaru Tatsuka lowered her voice, pretending to be a calm adult.When he was serious, his expression was quite handsome, Tachibana pursed his lips and smiled, and gave a thumbs up to Lixiang who was looking over.

The black-haired boy smiled back, and once again turned his attention to the villagers at the door.He didn't agree to it outright, but judged the difficulty of the matter first.They don't know what onmyojis can do in this day and age, but people are self-aware, and it's okay for two people to kill monsters. As for other things...

The villagers breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and explained the current situation to the young Onmyoji inside.

It turned out that the youngest son of the Orion family at the entrance of the village had disappeared, and someone saw the monster taking the child away.The people in the village organized a few people to go to the forest, but they were afraid of the monsters in the mountains, so they sent people to ask the onmyoji for help.

"We won't let Master Onmyoji do his work for nothing!" The villagers bowed and asked, "We will definitely give you a satisfactory reward!"

Speaking of this, if you don't do it, you won't meet the setting of "Onmyoji".The two discussed it and decided to take over the job.Regardless of whether the missing child can be found or not, it is a living life anyway.

It is not the style that a savior should have.

The two of them didn't take off their clothes to rest, and directly stuffed the thin blanket into the hiking bag.The mountain road at night is not easy to walk, and carrying a backpack might be a burden, so Tachibana took a knife, Tachibana took a torch and a climbing pick, and the two walked out of the room.

There was only one villager outside the door. He bowed in gratitude to Dade and led the way with a bonfire.In the village, only the barking of wolf dogs was heard, and lights were lit in front of every house, and some village women stretched their necks to look out, their black eyes full of worry and fear.

Along the way, under the inquiry of Fujimaru Tatsuka, the villagers carefully talked about the situation of the nearest nearby city.In that city, there is a very famous Ji Jun, who is said to be the reincarnation of a goddess who can cure various difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

"Having such divine power, don't you find it strange?" Li Xiang asked suddenly.

The villagers smiled, and their faces were more relaxed than before: "It doesn't matter if it's strange or not, anyway, we people can't see it." He shrugged like self-deprecating, and then realized, "But Master Onmyoji Maybe I can go to meet him, I heard that Ji Jun is a rare beauty!"

"Heh, heh, is it..." Lixiang smiled awkwardly, turned her head and took a sneaky look at Lihua.The orange-haired girl was wearing the blue sun protection shirt with a hood, and her expression could not be seen from the side.

Seeing the young Onmyoji looking at his shikigami, the villagers belatedly praised: "Of course, your shikigami is also very beautiful, my lord!"

Of course the person he likes is pretty!She is prettier than anyone in this world!

Ke Lixiang couldn't say that, he could only respond more embarrassingly.Fortunately, the distance was not too long, and they soon joined up with the large army at the entrance of the village.Some people took their dogs into the forest, leaving a group of older or younger people standing in the cold wind, shivering and holding a bonfire as a beacon.

Lixiang also found a fading charm in front of them, and the charm was stuck on a tree stump.

Tachibana walked up to him, stretched out his hand to tug on his sleeve, and pointed to the night sky above his head.The black-haired boy followed her fingers to look up, and a layer of hard-to-find blue transparent cover enveloped the entire village. It looked quite fragile, as if it would disappear in the next second.

"What's that?" he asked quietly.

"It should be the barrier," Tachibana replied. "I heard a villager say that I want you to strengthen the barrier. I think it should be this."

"Yes, but I can't..." Lixiang was at a loss.

"It's okay, I will." Tachibana said something quite concerned as if nothing had happened.

"……Eh?"

Amano Tachibana, as the type who is born to see monsters, can still live safely, of course there is some means.It is impossible for her to beat the crap out of the approaching monsters and ghosts only by brute force, and she needs to inject spiritual power into the weapon to drive the monsters away.

It's just that she is not good at learning, and she didn't learn any powerful moves, so she can only use her spiritual power simply.

The so-called strengthening of the enchantment is nothing more than inputting spiritual power into the spell, which Tachibana can still do.

The village chief was an elderly man, and he didn't seem easy to fool around, so Li Xiang could only put on the calm expression before, and had a serious chat with him.He waved "Shikigami" Tachibana to strengthen the barrier, and the village head showed a strange expression.

"Shikigami...can you do such a thing?" Looking at the young girl Shikigami who is no doubt a real person, the village head couldn't help feeling a little suspicious. It's true that their village has never visited an onmyoji, but the passing witches still received them. , There has never been a witch with such abilities.

"Are you doubting me?" The young onmyoji asked in a low voice, with a little anger mixed in that hoarse voice.The village chief stopped thinking about it, but bowed down respectfully and apologized in fear.

"Don't be afraid, old man," the black-haired boy said with a smile, "the world is big and full of wonders."

"Y-yes..."

While they were chatting, Amano Tachibana had finished strengthening the barrier, and returned to Lixiang seriously.The two stopped procrastinating, rejected the villagers' offer to go together, and walked straight into the forest at night.

After walking almost far, Lixiang took out the flashlight from his arms and turned it on.They didn't ask the big ones to look for them separately. Even mobile phones can't be used in this day and age. If they get lost, it will not be worth the loss.

"How do I find Kurataro next?" Kurataro is the name of the lost Orion child, and Lixiang only knows the name, but nothing else.

Tachibana smiled, quite relaxed.

"It's okay, we'll find it soon."

The beautiful girl with a cute smile searched here and there, and finally pulled out an unhidden monster in a bush.Tachibana grabbed the monster's long ears and narrowed her eyes like a ghost.

"Excuse me, do you know which monster nearby has captured a child?"

The long-eared monster was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, opened his eyes tremblingly and pointed at the position behind him, his trembling voice sounded a little cute: "Yes, it's a ghost..."

"where is it?"

An inquiry that did not use any violence but was more terrifying than violence ended. Tachibana did not let the long-eared monster leave immediately, but asked the other party to lead the way to find it.The little monster struggled, but Tachibana grabbed his ear, and he could only jump weakly in the air.

Lixiang: "...it seems to be suffering."

"It's no problem, monsters are pretty tough." Tachibana waved his hand indifferently, and the long-eared monster shed tears.

There is still a little distance from the place where Oniichiguchi is, and Tachibana begins to explain the characteristics of this monster to Tachika.

Ghost mouth is a kind of monster that can deceive people. It has a beautiful woman on its tongue. It often appears at night to deceive travelers passing by to rescue them.

"You're wrong," the long-eared monster pricked up his ears to listen to the explanation. After being fascinated, he forgot all about the situation he was in, and retorted, "It's not that there is a beautiful woman on her tongue, but her tongue There's a monster growing on it."

Tachibana raised an eyebrow with interest.

"Then how does it eat people? No matter how big a beauty's mouth is, it can't swallow a human being, right?"

The long-eared monster murmured: "The current monsters have long stopped eating people!"

"...Then why arrest people?"

The little monster showed its sharp teeth and smiled ferociously.

"—Because we eat liver!"
