Miss Zashiki

"The dog demon is a monster that is extremely easy to go astray."

The beautiful young man in an ice blue robe was kneeling on the mat, his long light brown hair was quietly scattered from his temples on his chest, and his white wrists were slightly exposed outside his sleeves when he raised his arms——

Even though it was just a simple act of pouring tea, he did it with an indescribably pleasing calmness.It almost makes people feel that this place is like an elegant landscape, not a place of fireworks.

The deep tone is soaked in the light tea fragrance, slowly enveloping with the rising white mist.

"When they were still beasts, their brains were occupied by an irrational instinct of loyalty. After falling into a demon, this instinct that was no longer satisfied also intensified, and their cruel and violent nature—once exploited intentionally, it would turn into a disaster The danger of chaos exists."

Fu Xiao lay on the opposite side of the desk and watched his movements: "You mean, they are born with a certain... er, should I say service consciousness? Or dedication?"

"More precisely, to protect the needs." The clear tea slowly accumulated in the cup, and the fingers between the handles were as long as jade, and the movements flowed smoothly without shaking or stopping.

When the stone-colored cup was filled to eighty percent full, and the exquisitely crafted sand pot was put aside, the drooping eyelashes finally quietly lifted up and looked towards the opposite side. The voice was soft, almost showing an illusion come gently:

"So, did your little bird plan fail?"

Fu Xiaoyue suddenly felt a heat on his face.I'm not sure if it's because she has a guilty conscience, so she made a bit of sarcasm from the other party's obviously innocent tone.

Seeing the person lying on his arm with a blushing face and muttering nothing, the medicine seller didn't ask any more questions, he just took a sip of tea and continued:

"The more you are pushed to the brink of death, the more pure and unique the dog's will will be, and even have the determination to die for it. If according to your statement, it is now for the sake of its master and refuses to fall into a demon, then it is even more unwilling Might be willing to divide that will among other things."

Fu Xiaoyue flattened her mouth when she heard this, and felt a little resentful: "So, you actually knew from the beginning that this method was useless, right?"

"do not know."

Through the shallow water mist, the drug seller looked at her calmly: "My purpose is to kill monsters, and I am not interested in thinking about why a dog refuses to fall into a demon."

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake yesterday, Fu Xiao did not mean to see that his work was useless, so he sighed like an adult: "All right. But when it comes to monsters, I forgot to mention them when I met you yesterday. Find out how the grudge in that cabinet came about."

"......Oh?"

-

"...Is it the resentment of the unborn child?" The drug seller looked down at the light water in the teacup, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were a bit thoughtful.

"Well, if you think about it this way, this is a brothel, and the number of children who are forced to die before they are born is probably too large." Fu Xiaoxue recalled what the kiln sisters said yesterday, and felt a little bit sad: "That's why this obsession is so strong."

After a long while, seeing that the other party still didn't make a sound, Fu Xiaoyue asked him directly: "Hey, now that I know its origin and cause and effect, is there no other way to make it appear besides attaching it to the dog god's body?" Shape' coming?"

The drug seller shook his head when he heard the words: "A stillborn baby has not yet had time to contact the outside world, and the resentment they generate is also the purest. If someone is willing to give birth to them, the corresponding resentment can be carried along with the fetus. They are born and eliminated naturally. Even if they become monsters in the end, they can still be solved simply by using the same logic.”

However, Mingming said "simple", but his brows were slightly furrowed, a bit suspicious.

Fu Xiaoyue quickly understood what he meant. The simplest condition of "birth" turned out to be even more difficult in this place.

From this point of view, those grievances are not only huge in number, but each of them may have been "abandoned" more than once——

Every time the woman she chooses and wants her to be her own mother, she will always give up voluntarily or forcedly in the end. Day after day, it will eventually become a vicious cycle...

"Then, what should we do?" She wrinkled her face in distress: "Either... how about we steal that cabinet outside? After getting out of here, there are always many people who want to conceive and have children." Women who can abort, right? And they just want to be born, won't harm the mother's body, right?"

Speaking of this, she didn't wait for the other party's answer, and quickly shook her head to veto this method: "...No, this is just a temporary solution, not the root cause. As long as this brothel is still there, it will continue to continue There are babies who die young...and that way, without the oppression of obsession, it is even more impossible for Inugami to have the chance to fall into a demon...With its current aging body state, even if it does not die In the arena, sooner or later he will be beaten to death by Tsukada..."

As she kept chanting, suddenly she thought of something, and a little bit of trance appeared on her delicate white face——

In this way, there is more than one brothel in the world, and how many babies die in the womb halfway?

The whole air was stagnant for a while.

When he spoke again, the originally tender and crisp voice was a bit dull: "Mr. Yaolang, if things go on like this, if no one is willing to give birth to them, there will always be no monsters nearby who can possess them." , what will happen? After all, they can only entangle monsters and have no influence on humans, so can we just let this grievance grow more and more?"

The drug seller was silent for a long time, and the tea in the cups between his fingers had turned cold, before he finally opened his mouth: "If things go on like this, one day, with enough karma, they can become monsters by themselves, or— — monsters."

——At that time, you can deal with humans as you like.

Fu Xiaoyue understood the unspoken subtext in his words, and for a moment seemed to feel that this space seemed to have become much duller, almost making her a little out of breath.

The two were silent for a long time, Fu Xiaozhang took a deep breath, leaned over, snatched the cup between his fingers, and swung it with a sigh of relief.

The cool tea that flowed down her throat made her brain a little lighter, and the unspeakable oppression in her chest was also relieved a lot.

Putting down the teacup with a bang, and wiping his mouth, he saw the drug seller who had been robbed of his tea looking at her expressionlessly.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little better, and her tone of voice raised a little, and she forcibly shifted away from the previous topic: "By the way, Mr. Yaolang, do you know that, actually, I haven't really used that little sparrow yet. I tried it at Inugami."

Although she lifted the birdcage yesterday, Inugami has been in a state of unconsciousness and lethargy, and she was never given a chance to experiment.After waiting for a whole day in vain, she finally calmed down from her original impulsiveness—after all, this dog god can't even understand her words, can it really be expected that it will make friends with a sparrow?

The drug seller didn't respond, and continued to look at her calmly.

Fu Xiaoyue's enthusiasm for speaking was not dampened, and he continued to tell people the little chicken soup story: "I also knew a dog demon before... He used to have a bad temper and always liked to use violence to solve all problems, but later He met a little squirrel and became a close friend with it. Through this friendship, he has since reformed himself and vowed not to use his strength to destroy, but to protect what he cherishes."

The drug seller remained silent and kept his face expressionless.

...Don't you feel anything?Will you chat?What's the use of working alone to save the atmosphere?

After a while, when she couldn't help but began to complain silently, the other party finally opened his mouth slowly:

"So, you think that all the vicious dogs in the world lack a bird that can instantly influence them... Yes, it's a very creative idea."

"...Hi!" Fu Xiaoyue stared at him speechlessly.

——This time, she definitely wasn't thinking too much, this person is definitely making fun of him!

Ignoring the accusation cast from the opposite side, the drug seller slightly lowered his head, his long eyelashes drooping silently: "This."

"what?"

She followed the direction of that gaze, and lowered her eyes, but saw that he was looking at the teacup she had just put down after drinking tea.

"I, drank it."

......

A longer and more complete silence than before.

When she spoke again, Fu Xiaoyue's tone was still relaxed, and Yuzhi's slender facial features were also innocent and well-behaved. She nodded slightly, as if what she heard was something unusual.

"Oh, that's really cheap for you."

According to the etiquette learned by Chuan’s mother Sang personally supervised her these days, Fu Xiaoyao stood up from the table dignifiedly, turned around calmly, walked lightly, and walked out of the small cubicle without haste. go out.

Go out, turn around, close the door without looking sideways, and run wildly!

—When did he drink it? ?She clearly remembered watching him carry it all the time!Didn't lift it to the mouth at all!By the way, what did she say before she slipped out?My mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything... She shouldn't be swearing at people! ?

-

The pharmacist in the room quietly watched the other party go out with his red ears dripping blood. He heard the sound of footsteps rushing around in a panic after closing the door. Shake your head.

Just like the beginning of this conversation, he stretched out his hand to hold the sand pot again, and gracefully tilted his wrist at an angle, and the light tea poured from the spout into the cup without haste.Still full, she gently put down the teapot, held the cup between her slender fingers, lifted it to her lips, and took a sip.

——The tea in the pot is still warm, and it moistens the throat well.

After thinking so lightly, he suddenly paused when he raised his hand, lowered his eyes quietly, and stared at the cup he was holding quite seriously.
