deep clouds and thick fog

It is said that raising an apprentice is like raising a son, of course, except for Ribeen, who has the same pattern of raising apprentices, pets, and lovers (...).

... far away.

In order to have a few fights with the big monster, Rin worked tirelessly to take over the dog monster named "killing life". He knew what kind of aptitude this kid had, so he didn't hesitate, and directly defined it as an "enemy (unknown)" Growth)" version, and then began hellish training (torture?).

Running around the world with underage dog monsters, leaving little boys and monsters behind from time to time (please use the group as the unit of quantity) to fight alone. And then beat him down—half a year later, both his ability and his psychological Sesshomaru had risen sharply, his level of paralyzed face from the air-conditioning had gone up, and he had even grown from being knocked down by Rin's slap to knocked down by ten strokes.

It's really gratifying to congratulate (roll).

"That's why I won't kill you." A certain silver-haired monster said in a regretful tone, with its tail curled up against the dog monster he had just beaten up, and he shook it, Sesshomaru's veins were violent, but he had no choice but to have insufficient force to break free That bone tail.

I've had enough fun, the little dog demon's sulking face is really interesting.Rin let go of his tail in mid-air, and Sesshomaru made a beautiful somersault. After landing on the ground, he swung his whip and rushed towards him——was pulled away by Rin's tail.

"Sesshomaru, it's time for the petty fights to end." The young man yawned casually, although the days of playing with the children are interesting, they are actually quite boring.Sesshomaru was taken aback, these are just small troubles?

But when he thought about it, it was true. The monster-slaying figure in that moonlit night was still as vivid as what he saw last night. If it was that kind of strength, it would not be an exaggeration to call his current behavior a joke.

But, still unwilling.

Rin looked at the fighting spirit in Sesshomaru's eyes with satisfaction, very good, that's it, he worked hard to become stronger, and then he was defeated by me.He flicked his tail again and slapped it on the nearby stone. The moment of contact, the originally hard stone turned into ashes and turned into powder, which was blown away by the breeze.

This is Rin's true power—the materialization of fog, the multiplication of clouds, and the decomposition of Lan. No one is more skilled at combining these three different powers than him.However, because the last attribute is too against the sky, unless it is a group battle, Rin basically does not add it to the attack in one-on-one.

What he wants is not only victory, but also the joy of fighting, the collision of the strong one after another.

"Get ready for stronger training. This time it's [-] tricks, and the time limit is half a year. If you can't survive it, I'll kill you."

Rin kindly reminded him, but the result was that the black cloud over the dog demon's head became thicker.Just as he was thinking whether to scratch his face or get rid of that annoying tail, there was a strange fluctuation in the air, and Sesshomaru saw a strange spirit approaching.

It is the guy who is in charge of the destination of all the lost souls in this world, known as the "Grim Reaper".

General Inu had said something to Sesshomaru, so the dog demon still understood, but Rin didn't know it at all. Jun regarded that stupid guy as an enemy, pulled out the bone knife, and the blue eyes showed awe-inspiring fighting spirit.

"Hey……"

Just about to speak, but it was too late, Sesshomaru could only watch the silver-haired monster step forward and slash the Shinigami away.

...Don't be so violent, hey.

Pale bone color fluttered, and the young man in battle seemed to be shining, with a dazzling brilliance.

The overthrown god of death became furious and shouted something like "what's wrong with being arrogant", but was stepped down by Rin's foot, and the bone knife pierced the heart directly.

Clean, merciless, and without the slightest excess of action.

This is Rin's way of fighting.

The little dog demon was deeply confused by what he saw in front of him, but he saw the god of death turned into flying ash, and then the purple star glow flashed on the master's hand.

Rin looked serious.

Strange, it's only been half a year, Mare's charge has recovered so quickly?

No matter how bad the Mare ring is, it will not be enough for Rin to wear it and play casually. The first time Rin opened the gate to another world, it took five years to recharge, and the second time it came back, it took three years. , and now, so short...

Rin twirled Mare's ring, which had been dimmed half a minute ago, and raised her eyebrows to watch the purple flame burn more vigorously on the jewel.Knowing what would happen next, he curled his tail and threw the Sesshomaru far away.

"Sorry, but the training is over, let's go to the dog general." The flames in his hands condensed, his figure began to become transparent, and there was a trace of regret in his voice, "Also tell him that the five owed to me will be changed to three, and I will turn around." find him."

...Can you stop being so obsessed with it, you bastard!

Just when the silver-haired youth was about to disappear, the dog demon jumped up and grabbed the tail.

"There is still half a year."

The child said coldly.

*************

In the pale snow, a cluster of purple flames ignited, and two figures, one big and one small, fell out of it. Rin was holding the collar of the dog demon with an unfavorable expression.

This stinky boy!

He acted recklessly and didn't think about the consequences at all, which caused him to lead people through time and lose all his strength!

Although it is not impossible to recover, the key is the current situation...

Bone-wrapped hands blocked the blow of the red-haired general, and the long bone tail slapped the opponent hard to the ground. Rin folded his hands and held a condescending look with a cold expression.

"Enough trouble, Teng Snake, don't think I dare not kill you."

Surprise flashed across Sesshomaru's eyes, if he didn't feel wrong, this man was full of air...

God?How strange.

Teng Snake was full of murderous aura, but he didn't let out his hell flame. He stared at the bone monster and gritted his teeth.

"You monster!"

"I know my species, I don't need you to say more."

The white bones faded, and the silver-haired young man regained his human posture. That was his appearance in this world. To be honest, he was not as free and comfortable as the white bones.Teng Snake watched his change, the veins on his forehead popped.

"What are you pretending to be, you monster!"

Rin didn't want to talk to him anymore, and turned his eyes to the back of the general. The black-haired onmyoji looked at the scene with a smile. That way, he was clearly watching a play.

"Abe Seimei, take care of your general."

When he used Mare for the first time, he met Abe Seimei in this world. The onmyoji thought that Rin, a monster, was not an indiscriminate killer, which made Rin look at him differently.

A very interesting person, although not very strong, but there is a lot of power hidden inside.

Abe Seimei, who was much older than the last time I saw him, smiled and signaled Teng Snake not to provoke the bad-tempered youkai anymore.He looked at the little dog demon behind Rin, thoughtful.

"Is this from your world?"

"Huh." Speaking of this, Rin's expression became even worse, and he glanced at Sesshomaru, the dog demon still had a straight face, looking bored.He simply took the dog demon and walked into the distance.

"Training continues. Although this world is not as dangerous as that one, there are still some good opponents."

"Also, it's still five times, don't remember wrongly."

...Who did you remember wrongly?

The heavy snow was falling, and Rin sat under the tree and watched the apprentice and the monster fight. The intensity of the battle did not arouse his interest, so he simply closed his eyes and rested, but after a while, he felt something approaching him.

His breath was weak, so he didn't care.The thing paused beside him for a moment, then jumped onto his lap.

==?

Rin opened his eyes, and it was a small squirrel with gray-brown fur and a big tail.The black bean-like eyes stared at Rin and looked again, and then like going up steps, the little guy jumped from his knees to his arms, then his shoulders, and finally to the top of his head.

Stretching out his paw, he tapped Rin's forehead.

……what is this.

The little squirrel seemed to have heard something, blinked its eyes and stretched its limbs on Rin's head before lying down. Rin grabbed its tail, and the little squirrel flicked Rin's fingers away.

Rin curled her lips, funny little thing.

So, when Sesshomaru finished off his opponent, what he saw was his master with a squirrel on his head, looking at him expressionlessly.

Sesshomaru, who still doesn't know what contrast is cute, is subtly delighted.

********

The little squirrel named Pine Cone by Rin has an ordinary appearance, but also... ordinary inside.

But it is a bit special, every time I see a stranger, I will run to knock on the head in a flash, rub it twice if I like it, and immediately dislike it if I don't like it.

By the way, Rin is classified as a favorite in the eyes of Song Guo, and Sesshomaru, after a tap of Song Guo, ran to the master before the opponent's paw swung, and has never looked at Sesshomaru since then.

Maybe it means you don't like it?

Rin once seriously thought about the method of classifying pine cones, and what the so-called head knocking does, and finally realized it after seeing pine cones eating pine cones (eh).

The industrious little squirrel gnaws on pine cones every day, and knocks them before gnawing, keeping the good ones and throwing away the bad ones.

So Rin, your head is put in a good place by your pine cone, are you happy?

Anyway, Sesshomaru kept his face dark all day long, silently whipping away some monsters without eyes.

Probably when spring was about to start, Rin finished Sesshomaru's field practice and took him to Abe Seimei's house instead.

"Not only do you have to get used to fighting with your own kind, but your natural enemies are even more so."

Although the silver-haired monster speaks so righteously, Sesshomaru understands that this guy just wants to see him in distress. The monster and the general are old enemies. Let the monsters get restless.Sesshomaru's opponent was the so-called Teng Snake among the twelve god generals under Abe Seimei, who was the guy whose master slapped his tail on the ground that day.

Damn it, his target is that bony monster!What is a mere god general!

The little dog demon began to work hard.

On the other side, someone he regarded as his target held a pine cone, leisurely drinking tea from Abe Seimei.

Influenced by his master, although his love for tea is not strong, he can do it well. He looked at the general who was fighting desperately with his apprentice, and his eyes fell on the golden crown on his forehead.

"what is that?"

The generals behind Abe Seimei tensed up, but the onmyoji answered calmly with a faint smile.

"It's nothing."

Rin didn't ask any further questions, he took a sip of tea and changed the subject.

"Where's Taishang?"

The shikigami with light grass hair is a steady person. Rin was helped once by him, so I recorded it.

A good helper.Maybe you can take it back to share things with Moira?

——Someone is so wicked.

So this time it's the Onmyoji's turn to put on a straight face.

"Rin, don't try to think about my Shikigami, hey!"

"I didn't have the idea of ​​playing Shikigami."

"... Taishang is my shikigami, bastard."

"is it?"

"……Go to hell."

"Ah sorry it's dead."

……

Great Onmyoji Abe Seimei doesn't want to talk to him anymore.

You're obviously a middle school sophomore, so don't talk too much, obediently make your face paralyzed, and talk back isn't for you, you bastard!
