Miss Zashiki

"Mr. Yaolang, how have you been doing during this time?"

"I heard from Inugami that the cabinet was moved by a stranger before. After you chased it out, did you encounter anything?"

"...Then what, it's such a coincidence to meet you here, haha——"

"Uh...just now, thank you for helping me."

……

Fu Xiaoyue searched for all the topics he could find, but a certain flower in the high mountains remained unmoved from the beginning to the end.In the end, she couldn't continue the one-sided awkward chat, so she had to silently crawl out of the medicine box.

What's the matter with this guy?I haven't seen you for a month, why can't I chat anymore...

Halfway through her slander, she suddenly felt that her sleeves were heavy. When she looked down, she found that it was a group of friends she was quite familiar with——

A series of delicate golden small balances were lined up in a row at some point, adorned on her sleeves, and as she climbed out of the medicine box, they swayed vigorously there like a swing.

Dazed to see a bit of mischievousness like a child begging for attention, Fu Xiaoyue glanced at the drug seller next to Gu Zi with a concave shape, and talked to them seriously: "Oh, so it is like this—he I don’t want to talk to you either, do I?”

She had just mentioned it casually as a joke, but she didn't expect that as soon as the words fell, the whole series of small balances were like a bullied child who finally found someone to sue, the swings stopped swinging, and they were lined up Team, dong dong dong jumped up along her arms, and finally formed a neat circle in front of her eyes.

Seeing this group of little guys being all over the place, twisting, jumping and circling - if they could make a sound, Fu Xiaoyue had no doubt that his ears would also be full of chattering - he was stunned for a long time, Only then did she react with some uncertainty: the current operation... is it a small report in person?

She took a look at the medicine seller who still didn't pay attention to him, and finally couldn't help feeling a little weird in her heart.

So, did this gentleman quarrel with his little Tianping?

Thinking about it this way, these little balances had just come out of the medicine box with her—couldn't they have been in it all the time before, locked up in confinement...

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyue then realized something was wrong - when she hid in the medicine box after listening to the medicine seller, she didn't think much about it in desperation, but now she looked back and found a problem - the whole Why is the medicine box empty?

You know, at that time, she had a deep memory of the variety of goods in this big box, from all kinds of strange medicines, to messy craft objects and small toys, and even——

Fu Xiaoyue still firmly remembers that when he was still in the Lanxing Building, one day he was in Huage and saw Mr. Medicine Seller holding a book of eclectic sex palaces in one hand and a bottle of 18xx medicine in the other. With an unearthly ascetic fairy face, when he was talking softly to the girls around him to promote sales—that kind of ridiculous mood.

——Why now, everything inside has been emptied?It's not that the business is too hot, they are all sold out...

What's more, as far as she knew, the drug seller's sword for expelling demons was also placed in this box, and she didn't seem to see it just now.

Surrounded by a circle of small scales like this, Fu Xiaoyue silently sat on the big medicine box behind her with her knees in her arms, raised her head, and silently watched the figure beside her.

Not sure if it was her delusion, she always felt that although the face with beautiful makeup in front of her was still familiar with indifference and calmness, it seemed to be a little more indifferent than in her memory.

Inexplicably having such an idea, Fu Xiaoyue couldn't help but slightly frowned, and after a long time, he spoke softly again:

"Mr. Yaolang, it seems that you are not in a good mood today."

-

Although the medicine seller looked like he didn't really want to communicate with others, after Fu Xiaoyue climbed out of the medicine box, he still insisted on staying where he was and did not leave.

without him.She just felt that staying by his side should be the safest choice for her current self.Compared with saving one's life, one must be thick-skinned... She secretly made up her mind that before reuniting with Inugami, she would have to stick by the drug seller's side no matter what, and he would not be able to shake her off!

However, the medicine seller did not show any intention of getting rid of her.

In fact, since the initial greeting with unknown meaning, since the reunion, he has not spoken a second word to her, and he just stood there motionless throughout the whole process, and did not respond to her muttering at all. As if she didn't exist.

While Fu Xiaoyue talked about the topic until he ran out of words, he couldn't help thinking deeply—something was indeed wrong.In her impression, how can a drug seller be such a "Buddha"?Should I have pissed her off?

However, just chatting one-sidedly like this, Fu Xiaoyue did think of a serious matter: "By the way, Mr. Yaolang," she asked a question that has been on her mind for a while, " After we parted in Hanamachi, have you...have you encountered monsters in other places?"

——The reason for asking this is because she thought of one thing before.

The drug seller didn't sign a contract with her, because he didn't use his big move around her—and his big move was to see through the "shape, truth, and reason" of the monster, pull out the demon sword, and kill it. .

In other words, in the "rule" setting of this world, the drug seller wants to kill monsters, in addition to gathering the opponent's shape, truth, and reason——

He also needs will-o'-the-wisps.

Therefore, if during this period of time, he encounters monsters again—it’s fine if he can’t find the truth of the other party—but if he finds them all, he may still face the problem of not being able to pull out the Demon Repelling Sword, or even An embarrassing situation in which it can't be effective even if it is pulled out.

Moreover, after thinking about it from this point of view, she even came to such a conclusion - before that, it was very likely that the medicine seller had never actually used the Demon Exorcism Sword.

——Of course, all of this is based on her assumption that in this world, the drug seller really needs to follow the game skill settings to kill monsters. As for whether it is accurate or not, she needs to confirm it with him.

And this room heard her question, and the medicine seller who had been acting nonchalantly finally responded.He turned his head to look at her, and the indifferent light in his slender eyes paused slightly: "——what?"

Seeing that he finally paid attention to him yesterday, Fu Xiao felt a little pleasantly surprised. He was about to repeat the question, but his voice was interrupted by a mighty horn sounding through the air.

A "Woo—" dragged on for more than ten seconds, almost spreading throughout the entire area.

Fu Xiaoyao, who was in a state of being in a state of war, suddenly jumped up in fright, and almost wondered if it was a new movement made by someone who wanted to arrest him.

At the same time, the drug seller who had been quietly leaning against the wall also moved his feet.

"Oh? You're leaving...?" Seeing him walking towards the medicine box behind her, Fu Xiaoyue panicked for a moment, and quickly stretched out her hand to block him: "Don't leave! No—— Take, take me with you!"

The other party stopped and looked down at her expressionlessly, without answering.Fu Xiaoyue hurriedly begged and said: "I promise to stay in the box obediently, and I will never disturb you again!"

As she said this, she took a step back tentatively, seeing that he did not express any obvious rejection intentions, she quickly turned around against the clock, opened the drawer and was about to drill in, but ended up meeting a pair of bright black men who were about to breathe fire. Liang Maoyan looked at each other squarely.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned around, and added sincerely with straight eyes: "This cat demon is my companion! I promise I won't let her cause trouble!"

Quietly watching the other party get into the box as if escaping, a circle of Xiao Tianping also jumped in lively and cheerfully, and the drug seller half-hid his eyes.

There was a slight frown between his brows, and a bit of indescribable unpredictability added to his cold expression. After a long time, he repeated word by word: "... cat, demon."

-

After Fu Xiaoyue escaped into the box, he couldn't help covering his face like an ostrich, and waited on the spot in fear—until he felt that the whole box was lifted up on his back, and he walked with his steps, and there was a slight sense of shaking. In the box, she was slightly relieved.

— was not driven down.

After regaining her breath, she turned her head to face a certain black cat that had been staring at her from just now, and she couldn't help being a little embarrassed: "Xiao Jiu...why has he been staying Don't go out inside..." She was patronizing and "hooking up" with the drug seller before, but she didn't think about it.

The black cat's eyeballs are still shining brightly in the opaque box, and the snow-white fangs can still be vaguely seen in its mouth.

In the shape of a cat, it uttered a human voice directly, and the clear tone was full of passion and anger: "—I just want to see it! You heartless little bastard! How long will it take! Remind me of the great existence of meow!"

Fu Xiaoyue: "..."

——Why is it that every time a critical moment comes, the focus of these bastards around her is always easy to be distorted?

——In this way, as long as you put it in the purse with gold coins, Comrade Iron Rat can quietly meditate and chant sutras all the time, it's so easy!

Resisting the black cat who was speechless and blowing its hair for no reason, Fu Xiaoyue lightly buckled the box wall in front of him, and asked cautiously: "—by the way, Mr. Yaolang, what are we going to do?" ah?"

The usual cold tone pierces through the solid wood, which sounds a bit distorted and soft:

"Get on board."

"......what?"
