Miss Zashiki

After a while, they walked into a thin rain curtain.When the rain falls on the umbrella surface, it is not like falling water droplets, but like silk flocks, floating down softly.Surrounded by dense fog.

The drug seller didn't mean to stop, nor did he say where he was going.

Before entering the island, several other people asked Kaifangzhu about the time it would take. They only brought dry food and water to wrap their stomachs in their packages, and they didn't think about bringing umbrellas and other utensils.

Inugami and Nine Lives Cat each have demonic body protection, and ordinary wind, rain, thunder and lightning cannot get close to their bodies.But the two princes are unavoidably unlucky and will suffer a lot.However, the two of them have strong temperaments and have a good face. Facing the drizzle as small as silk, they don't take it seriously at all.

Fu Xiao looked back a few times yesterday, and saw that the situation of the whole team was normal, so he was a little relieved.

However, just when she thought that because of the sudden and untimely leisurely mood of a certain gentleman beside her, they would go on walking in silence all the time, the other party himself suddenly made a sound.

"...What?" Fu Xiaoyue was distracted for a while, but didn't hear his words clearly.

The medicine seller's usually cold eyebrows and eyes were deceptively soft due to the halo of yellow light reflected by the umbrella above his head.He asked again: "Why, angry."

Fu Xiaoyue heard it clearly this time, but was a little surprised, and subconsciously gave the same answer as before: "What...?"

The drug seller glanced sideways at her slightly, and then asked, "Why are you crying?"

"..."

Fu Xiaoyue was a little confused for a while. After pondering his expression for a while, he finally gave up, but instead of answering his question, he asked instead: "Why are you asking again?"

"do not know."

——I don’t know why I have to ask?

Fu Xiaoyue was stunned for a while before he realized what he meant——I didn't know why she was angry or crying, so I asked.

"Really or fake, I really don't know or pretend I don't know..." She couldn't help muttering in a low voice, struggling slightly in her heart, and said with difficulty: "How should I put it... I am willing to lose half of it for you. Blood is one thing, but if you want me to consume half of the remaining blood, that's another thing..."

As she spoke, she began to feel sad again, and her voice trembled a little, so she stopped for a while, lowered her eyes and stopped looking at him, and then continued in a low, muffled voice: "I'm angry because you didn't ask for my opinion at all. made such a decision.”

The drug seller was silent for a long time without saying a word, and continued to walk forward, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he asked another sentence: "So, why, don't be angry anymore."

Fu Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief: "...because I'm so useless."

Without waiting for the other party to comment on this answer, she continued on her own: "I made a wrong decision to involve Inugami and Jiumingmao, but I have no ability to take them out safely. I have to ask you for help... But, if I force myself to beg you while I'm angry with you, wouldn't it make me look even more useless? So don't be angry at all..."

After she finished speaking, she was quiet for a while, with obvious frustration in her expression: "I actually have such self-deceiving thoughts, it seems that I am really useless..."

Seeing that she answered well, and inexplicably entered the mode of self-examination, the drug seller replied lightly: "No."

"...What?" Fu Xiaoyue responded in a daze of incompetence.

"Overall, apart from being a little stupid, most of the other aspects," he calmly commented, "are doing very well."

--real or fake! ?

Fu Xiaoyue automatically ignored the content of the first sentence, almost flattered.

The drug seller nodded slightly, and added: "At least it's much more useful than the last four."

"..."

She suddenly raised her head and looked a little worried - is the sound insulation effect of this umbrella reliable?

Of course, she didn't want to wait until she opened the umbrella and asked the people behind if they heard the conversation just now, but suddenly thought of something, and stared at him with some dissatisfaction: "...then you still want to drag me to death ?”

Outlining the corners of the eyes with crimson makeup lines, she lightly swept the cool corner of her eyes and said, "I, no, yes."

"You don't? How dare you say you don't!? You obviously—" Fu Xiaoyue was half filled with righteous indignation, and suddenly stopped talking.

She suddenly remembered a question.

The previous conclusion about whether he intends to go to the Seven Realms in a row seems to be just his own guess, and I haven't had time to verify it with him... It will never end, she just pissed herself off in vain, right?In fact, the drug seller has other plans?

"You, don't you... so you want to break through the remaining barriers?" She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed while speaking.

"I really want to do this, there's nothing wrong with that."

Already silently preparing for an apology, when he suddenly realized what he just answered, Fu Xiaoyue went blank for a few seconds again: "...you're fucking playing with me again! You——"

In the middle of scolding, she suddenly stopped talking again.

She suddenly thought of another question.

If you only want to gain the approval of the monsters in the enchantment, and not for the purpose of killing monsters, it seems that you are not very good at using the Demon Repelling Sword... Then it seems that the medicine seller is willing to take the two princes on the road together, Could it be that it is not to save them, but because the two of them have already crossed two domains, and they can save two barriers by teaming up with them?

Realizing that his previous train of thought might have gone astray, Fu Xiaoyue once again felt guilty: "Then, you entered the current enchantment just to gain the approval of monsters, right?"

"No."

"..."

The draft apology that was half-typed was blown away again.Fu Xiaoyue endured it again and again, and almost could not help but pounce on him and bite him.

The drug seller turned a deaf ear to the gnashing of teeth in his ears, and his voice was still indifferent as usual: "There are no monsters in this enchantment."

Oh, if you believe in you, you will be a ghost.

"...What!?" Fu Xiaoyue's sneer froze at the corner of his mouth, and he finally understood what he said slowly.

-

No monsters.

Fu Xiao pondered these words back and forth many times yesterday, and the question that popped up in his mind was not—why are there no seven regions and seven kinds of monsters in this enchantment?Rather—what was her fear before?

When she finally recovered from that subtle sense of gap, another unprecedented sense of shame quickly swept through Fu Xiaoyue's mind—her face flushed red again at a speed visible to the naked eye , opened his mouth in a daze, and the whole demon stared at the drug seller in front of him completely in a daze.

- He definitely did it on purpose.

——She had been genuinely sad for so long before, honestly and thoroughly dissected her own mental journey, and he just listened silently, and then didn't tell her anything.

After being stared at for a long time, the drug seller seemed to finally notice something, and turned to look at her: "——Why does he seem to be angry again?"

"..."

As if thinking of something, he nodded slightly: "Idiot. Scoundrel. Bastard. What are you going to scold this time?"

"..."

Fu Xiao was so angry that he gasped a little yesterday, but because he held his breath for too long, he made a sound similar to choking and sobbing.

"I'm going to cry again. Why this time." The drug seller looked calm as before, looking at the rain in front of him lightly: "If it's still because of me, I can apologize again."

"..."

After being bullied endlessly, Fu Xiaoyue finally couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed forward and bit the wrist of the hand holding the umbrella.

-

Looking at the two rows of distinct teeth marks on the white wrist, Fu Xiaoyue nodded in satisfaction, finally feeling that the anger in his heart has been relieved a lot.

She decided to skip the previous topic and try to save her respect: "Then what, the Nine Lives Cat said earlier, it seems that something is staring at us..."

The drug seller looked at the row of tooth marks on his wrist that were still stained with saliva, and replied quietly: "Even if there are, they are not monsters, just ordinary weak monsters."

"That's a monster anyway, how weak can it be?"

"It's just, a little, stronger than yours." The cold gaze moved away from the row of teeth marks, and turned to look at her lips with a little inquiring meaning, "It shouldn't be possible to use such a primitive ways to attack people.”

Fu Xiaoyue felt guilty after being watched, she subconsciously pursed her lips until the other party turned her eyes back to the front, and then she tried again, trying to grab the last straw: "But you yourself said before, this The evil spirit in the direction is the strongest... If it is really a weak monster, how can it produce such a strong evil spirit?"

The drug seller shook his head lightly: "The monster energy in this enchantment does not come from the monster itself, but from the rain here."

"……rain?"

Fu Xiao was stunned when he heard the words yesterday, and quickly raised his eyes to look at the continuous rain in front of him, and heard him continue:

"This rain contains demon power, which will absorb the energy of those who are exposed to the rain."

It turned out to be like this... Fortunately, he brought an umbrella.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyue suddenly realized something was wrong, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed his skirt: "Wait a minute!"

The drug seller stopped in cooperation, and looked at her with clear eyes.

Fu Xiaoyue didn't look at him.She suddenly felt that her neck seemed to be a little stiff, and at this moment, hesitantly, cautiously, little by little, she turned her head - she passed the dry hair of Inugami and Nine Lives Cat, and faced Shangluo directly. At the back, the whole body was drenched by the rain, and their faces were both ugly and blue--the two princes.

The whole team stopped at this point.

Seeing the two princes obviously strenuously struggling to breathe heavily, it didn't take long before they almost had a tendency to stand unsteadily——Fu Xiaoyue looked at the drug seller again with a tangled expression, and lowered his voice Asking him with a guilty conscience: "...why didn't you say it earlier?"

The drug seller followed the direction she was looking at before, and quietly looked over from under the umbrella with his cold eyes, his expression still calm: "They, don't they, understand now, do they?"

"..."

—He made a good point.I was speechless.

Seeing the two princes in that room knelt down on the ground with pale complexions, what Fu Xiaoyue thought in his heart was not to worry about their situation, but——

——She is not a human (demon) being bullied.

——At least the world is not as cruel and ruthless as imagined.
