Miss Zashiki

"Since the two Highnesses came here from those two regions, it seems that the seven regions on Qiangwei Island should be connected to each other in space."

In the end, they took the two princes on the way home together. While looking for something to say, Fu Xiaoyue quietly thumped his legs, which were a little sore from walking, with his fists.

"Owner--"

Fu Xiaoyue just listened to the beginning, immediately put his hands behind his back, and swayed back secretly and quickly.

Before she was cowardly, she was hugged by Inugami for a while in the illusion, and she would be looked down upon by the drug seller. Now if she is just tired, she will be carried away by others--that is too delicate, maybe the future How can that guy mock her?

Inexplicably feeling the stuffy aura behind him, Fu Xiaoyue could only laugh dryly for a moment: "Uh, is it my illusion... Why do I feel that the way out is much longer than the way in."

There is a drug seller walking in the front, so it is unlikely that she will go the wrong way, so she just mentioned this sentence casually to ease the atmosphere.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, an ice-blue figure in front of her, who had been walking silently, gave an equally calm answer:

"No, illusion."

"……what?"

Fu Xiaoyue watched the other party stop and turn around with the same calm expression as before, so he also stopped, but the whole demon was completely incapable of responding to the answer just now: "Mr. Yaolang? What do you mean?"

The drug seller glanced lightly at the shadow of the tree beside him: "We have passed this place for the third time."

...exm?

Passed by once when entering the island, and passed by the second time when returning, so the third time now refers to——

Fu Xiaoyue thought about it for a while, with a little patience on her face, and finally, she hesitated, tried to make a guess cautiously: "So you, you also... accidentally lost your way."

——What kind of trouble is it to rush to the front without knowing the way! ?

Seeing those slender brows and eyes frowning silently, a certain familiar look in them made Fu Xiaoyue wake up immediately - no, the medicine seller should not be able to do such a disastrous thing... …

"Then, why do we have to walk here for the second time? Is there any mystery in this place?" She honestly proposed another possibility.

The young man's cold eyes moved away from her, and turned to the dense bushes on both sides again. He shook his head slightly, and said in a slow and deep voice: "It's not that there is a mystery here, but that there is no other way."

--why?

Haven't they all already achieved their respective regional recognition?Logically speaking, now you only need to return one by one along the original path when you came, right?

Fu Xiaoyue followed the direction of the other party's gaze, and then looked at the silent forest around him, and suddenly began to feel weak for no reason.

The calm expression on the face of the drug seller in front of him remained unchanged, but he slightly raised his right hand hanging by his side: "There is something chasing us."

On those pale palms, several white gold small balances were silently parked there, tilted one by one, each pointing in several different directions.

Saying this, he paused for a while, then raised his eyes to look behind her again: "—to be precise, he was chasing them."

Fu Xiaoyue's head was empty for two seconds before he could react. He turned around and glared at Inugami and Nine Lives Cat who were following behind——

The two princes in the back are His Royal Highnesses.

-

"Your Highness, by now, you should tell the truth!" Fu Xiaoyue's expression was very serious, and his brows were also tightly frowned: "Have you successfully obtained the approval of the two domains? "

From the looks alone, the two princes seemed to be very surprised by the medicine seller's words, and they didn't seem to be fake.After listening to her questioning, both of them put on a look of jumping feet that had been greatly insulted.

"Bold and arrogant! How dare you question the noble character of this hall!"

"Scholars can be killed and cannot be humiliated! Your idea not only violates the dignity of this hall, but also the face of my majestic future king of Yunshu!"

"Bah! Who gave you the courage to call yourself the future king of Yunshu? Shameless!"

"Hehe, the position of the crown prince must belong to the palace, and you, a rookie, still think that you can be the master?"

"How dare you say it again!"

……

Looking at the two people who are still fighting each other calmly at this moment, Fu Xiaoyue silently shot away the suspicion in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help feeling ashamed of the idea that he had just set up a "scheming boy" for the two of them.

These are just two purebred idiots... Maybe they got into trouble without realizing it.

Tired of letting Inugami and Jiumingmao and Yiyao cover their mouths that chattered as soon as they started to work, Fu Xiaoyester tried hard to continue communicating with them:

"Your Highness, can you figure out the situation? Just now, you also heard from Mr. Yaolang that there are things chasing and killing you. Now is not the time for you to quarrel. When you are ordered to escape from the island, you will be killed. You can argue as long as you want, okay?"

Seeing that the two snorted and were let go, she impatiently asked again: "Okay, now let's talk about it specifically, how did you live in the previous two domains?" ?”

The same displeasure remained on the two similar faces: "...The specific situation is indeed as the hall said before, the two of us have never cheated or concealed anything!"

"The first area was a maple leaf forest. There was a girl in the maple leaf forest. She met us and didn't say anything else. She just asked me to dance with her. After the dance, she told us You can leave."

"The second area is an ordinary town. Before the two of us walked in, I was stopped by another girl. She said her doll was broken and asked us to help her repair it. This hall used to practice in the palace. It took more than two years for the handicraft machinery course, and she thought she had accomplished a little, so she took some time to repair it for her. After that, she told us to leave just like the girl before."

"We walked back along the way we came, but it was strange that the terrain marks in the memory around us seemed to have changed. The two of us fell down a landslide without paying attention, and we were completely lost. I lost my way... Not long after, I bumped into you guys."

In the above big conversation, Fu Xiaoyue only heard half of it, and Fu Xiaoyue faintly felt some weird feelings.

—Maple Leaf?

--doll?

Reminiscent of the bone girl she met, she fell into an inexplicable sense of sight for no reason, and the whole demon was silent for a long time.

It wasn't until the worried voice of Inugami next to her woke her up from her contemplation that she put on a serious expression again: "What does the second girl you mentioned, the doll she asked you to repair, look like? "

"...It's the kind of puppet that is used to perform puppet shows, but it is relatively big, almost the size of an adult man——When the temple helped her repair it, I also wondered how the girl was so petite. Move such a tall puppet?"

Not sure if it was Masaichi or Prince Yuji who recalled it for a few seconds, and added: "The damaged part is the thread lifting device on the elbow. It is entangled by the thread, so it is not difficult to repair. The rest is nothing special. place."

——The girl dancing in the maple forest.

——A string doll as tall as a grown man.

The corner of Fu Xiaoyue's mouth twitched slightly: "I remember you guys said before that these two girls are very good-looking, aren't they?"

"good."

"..."

"Master? Is there something wrong?" Inugami next to her couldn't let go, and knelt down to look at her worriedly.

Fu Xiaoyue looked at him silently for a while, supported his arm, relieved the feeling of weakness in his legs and feet, and then shook his head feebly: "...No."

There was indeed nothing wrong, she just felt that her head had been dizzy, and she couldn't help but give up thinking at the moment, she turned her head back silently, and looked at the drug seller: "Mr. ?"

It is almost certain that after the monsters in the two domains were the ghost girl Hongye and the puppet master, Fu Xiaoyue, who was hit by the shock, no longer had extra brain cells to think about how the two princes, Masaichi and Yuji, fell into this world. Now being chased and killed without knowing it.

Looking at those icy and cold eyes, her dizzy and swollen head felt slightly refreshed, and then, she heard the same cold and indifferent tone, and said unhurriedly: "According to common sense, we are almost After gaining the approval of Baixiangzi, he should also be hunted down by that stone lion."

He only said a little bit, but Fu Xiaoyue understood it very quickly: "Ah...that is to say, the two of them were indeed recognized by monsters, but the one who chased and killed them was actually the same as that stone lion—the guardian Looking at other monsters in those two areas?"

Speaking of something she suddenly thought of, a trace of nervousness appeared in her expression: "The two of them are staying with us now, chasing and killing their monsters, will they even set us as the target of chasing and killing them?"

"For the time being, no." The drug seller raised his finger slightly, and pointed in the direction of the two princes from the air, "The two of them were chased because they received the mark."

—mark?

Fu Xiaoyue hurriedly looked over, and saw that following his movements, two pieces of familiar talisman papers appeared on the shoulders of the two princes respectively—I don’t know when the drug seller put them on. .

Following the appearance of the two talismans, more abnormalities that were not noticed before appeared on the two princes at the same time——

Above the waists of the two of them, there are circles of red paper figures flying out of thin air. Looking carefully, they are clearly human-shaped red maple leaves; Long strips of translucent light, each tangled and jumbled together in the air.

When the two princes saw each other's appearance, they were both terrified. They immediately stretched out their hands, trying to tear those lines and red leaves away from each other, but they soon realized that it was beyond their ability. Physical objects.

"—An outsider who enters the monster's territory without authorization will receive the imprint of the area, which cannot be eliminated by himself. As long as he leaves Rose Island, these things will naturally disappear." The drug seller said calmly.

Seeing the two princes stop trying in vain, Fu Xiaoyue immediately thought of something, and asked him with some hesitation: "Then, what marks did we have before?"

The drug seller looked at her quietly for a while, with a cool expression between her beautiful eyebrows and eyes: "Do you want to see it?"

"..."

Suddenly, a scene full of gray and white eyes appeared in Fu Xiaoyue's mind, and he quickly shook his head with interest.

Is it a circle of small skulls flying around the waist?Or is it the ashes that stick to the clothes and fall all the way?

...No matter what the situation is, she doesn't want to see it.

-

The atmosphere was dull for a while, and the impatient Miss Jiuming Cat suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and softly clicked her tongue in her mouth: "Since something is chasing the two of them, what's the use of us staying here? What to do next What is it, meow!"

Fu Xiaoyue blinked at her a few times, gently grabbed her sleeve and shook it, seeing her snort awkwardly and turn her head away to stop talking, then she turned to the drug seller again:

"Xiao Jiu is right. What are we going to do next? Mr. Yao Lang."

Without waiting for his answer, she first smiled a little embarrassedly: "...you are so smart, you must have noticed something was wrong long ago. You decided to tell us the situation now, and you should have already figured out the next plan. right?"

The other party still didn't answer, so Fu Xiaoyue continued: "Well...then I'll take a guess—"

"You know that those monsters are chasing and killing the two of them, but you didn't object to us taking them before, which means that you want to save them; you have been walking in the front without saying a word, because you want to find someone who can take us out together. found that after taking the two of them, there are fewer and fewer roads to walk, so they decided to tell us the situation, in order to let the three of us escape from the island first, and you stay to deal with those monsters... I guess right?"

Seeing that he was still watching him silently and not speaking, Fu Xiaoyue couldn't help but let out a long sigh, trying to hold back the anger in his heart, but he couldn't hold it back for a long time, and finally had to stare at him in disbelief. hold him—

"Mr. Yaolang, I found out that I was wrong, do you know? I want to take back the words I praised you for being smart just now. You are just as stupid as those two princes!"

"Haven't you figured it out yet? Before you couldn't use the demon-repelling sword, it wasn't because there was no truth in this world, or because there was something wrong with the demon-repelling sword, and it wasn't because you couldn't find the truth...just because there was no truth around you. Me! You need to stay by my side! You can use the demon sword! You idiot!"

"I lost half of my blood for you! Just to make you die for these two idiots now!? You idiot!"
