Miss Zashiki

After completing the day trip, Fu Xiaoyue raised his head again, facing the cold and cruel reality, he took a long breath to hide his tears: "Let's get out of the barrier as soon as possible."

——Quickly leave this stinky sad place, the air here can't exude the fragrance of a single dog at all.

No one raised any objections, and after a little reorganization, the whole team set off efficiently.

However, before leaving the barrier, after a brief discussion, they unanimously decided to temporarily keep the two princes in the barrier.

It's not that they dislike the fact that these two people's physical condition has not yet fully recovered, and they will hold back the team or something.It's just that, considering that the group of monsters outside are following the demonic imprint on them, staying here will be safer for the two brothers—and of course for the few of them.

For now, the whole team still needs to go to the remaining three enchantments, and the Rose Castle located in the center of the island has to be the last to go, and Yan is in the remaining two enchantments. Not surprisingly, they should be able to Run into the pair of black feather "brothers".

The ideal situation is that they can form an alliance with Kuroba Akito and Kuroba Hideki, then these two barriers can be broken without attacking. At that time, they only need to come back here to meet the two princes, and they can fight together. Go to Rose Castle.

After listening to their plan, the two princes agreed after thinking about it——according to what Yu Nu said before, it would take at least one to two days for the confinement power of this enchantment to dissipate completely. The two monsters didn't hold any malice towards them, and it was indeed safe for them to stay here.

In the end, seeing that the clothes on the two of them were completely wet, considering that they would have to wait here for a while, the monsters evened out some food and water from their bags and distributed them to them—although, fundamentally speaking, These things were originally searched from Prince Yuer's ship...

-

After leaving the barrier, the little Tianpings went online again to point out a wave of directions, and the whole team hurried towards another direction with the strongest monster aura.

Forced by time, and taking into account his ability to act in a hurry, Fu Xiaoyue didn't show any pretense, and continued to be carried forward obediently.

At that time when he just escaped from Hanamachi, Fu Xiaoyue never felt embarrassed while sitting on the back of Inugami and running forward for several days and nights.However, at this moment, looking at the seemingly calm face of the drug seller in front of her, she was inexplicably hesitant.

You know, ever since we met, Fu Xiaoyue has always subconsciously regarded the drug seller as a human being—so, it’s really not that she deliberately looked down on him, but—since she is a human being, her physical strength is limited after all, right? ?

After all, before entering the enchantment that imprisoned Youyu, this gentleman had been holding her for a long time; after entering the enchantment, he only put her down for nearly 3 minutes; and until now, he He didn't even change the hands holding her.

——Is this hand really not sore? ?

——Is it better to let Inugami hug him?

She faintly felt that these words would look a bit ky, but she couldn't restrain herself from not caring about this issue at all...

So she struggled all the way to herself: Hi!Does the drug seller feel embarrassed, so he is holding back?If she said it, would it hurt his self-esteem?

"...Then what..." Fu Xiaoyue held the packed bamboo umbrella in her arms, struggling with thoughts in her mind for a while, and finally, she decided to cut into the topic tactfully.

She cleared her throat cautiously: "Mr. Yaolang, are you, are your hands tired?"

——Otherwise, I'd better let Inugami hug me.

The drug seller kept on stepping, looked sideways slightly, and gave her a cool look: "I'm not tired."

Under those two cold, fleeting gazes, Fu Xiaoyue had a sense of intuition like a small animal before it was in danger for no reason.

She instinctively cut off the next half of the sentence before she had time to say it, and just responded dryly: "...Oh."

Afterwards, the whole monster silently looked away with some lingering fear: Then you are so awesome...

-

The speed of meeting the Heiyu brothers and sisters was much faster than Fu Xiaoyue imagined.

Before entering the next barrier, they ran into Kuroba Akito.

The figure of a young scholar with a half mask on his face appeared not far in front of him, pacing back and forth in a small open space in a leisurely manner, slowly shaking the folding fan in his hand.

When they approached and saw their faces clearly, the other party seemed very surprised: "Huh? It's you...how did you appear here?"

……

"Oh--?"

Hearing what they said, Kuroba Akito prolonged his tone with a half-smile: "A, alliance?"

This pretentious manner is almost similar to the young man transformed from the frog monster before. Miss Nine Lives Cat couldn't help twisting her expression just by taking a look at it——she really wanted to scratch this group of people You bastard who plays tricks, meow!

Fu Xiaoyester stretched out his hand silently, held her body that was about to move, and at the same time expressed his attitude as calmly as possible, looking directly at the other party: "Now the spatial structure of the entire Qiangwei Island has changed, and some places may still be full of water. There are monsters, we have already tried - it is almost impossible to find a way out by ourselves."

"In addition, we have already formed an alliance with Prince Yayi and Prince Yuer, and just broke through another area, so now as long as you and your sister are added, and everyone works together to pass the last Rose Castle, we can leave the island safely... ...You should be able to figure it out after a little thought, and you will not suffer from an alliance with us."

Kuroba Akito curled the corners of his lips with a smile, and tapped his palm with the folding fan in his hand: "Well... there are reasons and evidences, and Xiaosheng's heart is moved."

"..."

Looking at him like this, Fu Xiaoyue had some bad premonitions for no reason. Sure enough, in the next second, several people heard him continue, "It's just a pity that Xiaosheng can't form an alliance with you yet."

Although he was mentally prepared that it would not go so smoothly, Fu Xiaoyue still couldn't help but feel a little stuffy when he heard the rejection with his own ears.

She gritted her teeth secretly, and still didn't want to give up for a while: "Please, please think again... For now, this should be the best choice for all of us, isn't it?"

"Well, please don't get me wrong." The young man murmured and tilted his head slightly, "How could Xiaosheng have the heart to refuse such an invitation from such a lovely girl? It's just that Xiaosheng really doesn't have the skills to communicate with you at the moment. It's just a condition of alliance."

……What's the meaning?

The few monsters quickly fell into a state of logical confusion again.

Trying to think according to his words for a while, the dog god boy sized him up from head to toe, and then tentatively said: "Your Excellency, do you mean that you have not yet obtained the approval of a domain?"

After hearing this kind of speculation, the expression on Nine Lives Cat's face suddenly became doubly disgusted: "No way? It's been so long since you've been here, yet you haven't found the entrance to a domain yet? Didn't you come here once? Can you get lost, meow?"

Fu Xiaoyue didn't have time to stop it for a moment, and the series of questioning tone in Jiumingmao's words already carried tons of sarcasm, and stabbed straight at the young scholar opposite.

Through the mask, they couldn't tell whether the other party's expression had changed, but the corner of the mouth had a smile arc that had not changed for thousands of years, but it remained motionless: "Of course not. Xiaosheng has entered the enchantment before, and now he has come out again." .”

"Then you still say—?"

"You guys don't know, although Xiaosheng has left the barrier, he has never been recognized by the monsters in the domain," the young scholar said with a soft smile and gentle voice, "Xiaosheng was kicked out."

"..."

The other party turned a blind eye to the choked expressions on their faces, seemed to recall some scenes, and sighed leisurely again: "...Ah, that is really barbaric and rude."

Obviously the smile in his voice never diminished, but Fu Xiaoyue inexplicably heard a bit of gnashing of teeth.

-

According to Kuroba Akito, the last time he entered Rose Island, he also entered this enchantment. At that time, he obtained the approval of the monsters in it and successfully left the island.

This time back, the monsters in the enchantment are still the same few.However, their attitude towards him has completely changed from the previous one. When they saw him, they swear at him, and before he could say a few words, they drove him out of the barrier.

Nine Lives Cat felt a little puzzled when he heard it, and whispered: "...Are you sure they still remember you? Will they mistake you for a demon?"

"Ah, Xiaosheng still has this kind of confidence." Akito Kuroba smiled slightly, "Although prefixes such as 'bastard' and 'thief' were added for no reason, their names are called Xiaosheng. , but never called a mistake."

Fu Xiaoyue was also at a loss—could it be that during the time when Akito Kuroba left, something happened in this barrier that changed the temperament of the monster inside?

However, thinking of something immediately, she frowned slightly: "But although they treated you badly, they only drove you out of the barrier, and did not kill you... From this point of view, their hostility towards you It doesn't seem that heavy, does it?"

Hearing this, the smile on Heiyu Akito's mouth suddenly faded, and he turned his eyes sideways and hummed softly: "If you want to kill someone, let's see if they have the guts first... It's just to make Xiaosheng unhappy... In the end, it's just because of such an inexplicable dead dog."

Fu Xiaoyue was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to run along the hair of the dog god boy beside him: "Ah? What kind of dog?"

——It turned out that after Kuroba Akito obtained the approval of the monsters in the domain last time, a dog of unknown origin chased after him.

According to his account, the dog, for some reason, had a rather strong hostility towards him, pursued him persistently, and kept trying to attack him.What's even weirder is that even if he counterattacks, it seems that he can't cause substantial damage to it.In the end, it was he who found his way out of the island and was able to barely escape the dog.

... unable to cause substantial damage?

Fu Xiaoyue suddenly had some subtle sense of sight in her heart, and just about to say it, she heard Kuroba Akito himself confirming her guess:

"If Xiaosheng didn't expect it, that dog should be the 'monster' mentioned by Mr. Yao Lang."

--really.

From this point of view, the dog monster should be the same as the monsters that chased and killed the two princes before, it should have gone out from the barrier with Kuroba Akito.

...But, what does this have to do with the drastic change in the attitude of the monsters in the barrier towards him?

Seeming to see their doubts, the smile on the corner of Kuroba Akito's mouth became a little mocking: "Xiaosheng came back this time, and they told me that the dog is their family pet. Since the last time I followed Xiaosheng out of the enchantment, it They never came back...so they firmly believed that the dog must have died at the hands of Xiaosheng."

——Please allow me to be sad.

The whole reasoning logic is so empty, Fu Xiaoyue twitched the corner of his mouth silently: "Maybe, it just lost its way elsewhere on the island, how can you be sure that it is dead?"

"There should be nothing wrong with dying..." Kuroba Akito shook his head slightly: "Their family seems to be concerned about the safety of the individual members of the family, and they can have a certain sense of each other. Judging from the sensed information, The dog was indeed dead."

— But isn’t that dog a monster?How could he die so easily without the medicine seller's sword to banish demons?Could it be that during the time it left the barrier, it resolved its grievances by itself?

Fu Xiao still felt a little strange when he thought about it yesterday. After being puzzled, he noticed the words mentioned in his words: "A family... Is there a whole family of monsters in this enchantment?"

"It is said that it is a whole family, but in fact, the whole family is almost dead. Now there are only three brothers and sisters left."

As he said that, Akito Kuroba added a bit of muffled resentment to his words: "The two brothers who are so brutal and rude, no matter how innocent and cute the girl is, they stay by their side for many years... Tsk."

——Three brothers and sisters?

——Have a dog?

At this time, Fu Xiaoyue once again remembered the strange word that the young man in front of him had mentioned before entering the island: living dead.

Emmmm......

After a long silence, she asked with a wooden face, "Do you know what that dog's name is?"

Akito Kuroba had a look of disgust on his face, "It seems to be called Tomato... What a stupid name, isn't it."

"..."

After being confused for a while, Fu Xiaoyue raised his eyes again to look at the young scholar, and suddenly showed a bit of a fierce look: "If I remember correctly, you seem to be a fox demon, right? ?”

Facing the tone of the girl in front of him who shoveled the crests and troughs for no reason, Kuroba Akito couldn't help being a little dazed: "...Yes."

Inugami and Nine Lives Cat next to her saw that she suddenly looked angry again, and they were quite puzzled, so they saw her continue to stare at each other: "What are you going to do when you come to Qiangwei Island this time?"

The young scholar, who was always smiling, suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he heard the words: "...What's the matter, Qianqing?"

Seeing that stupid dodging gaze, Fu Xiaoyue couldn't help but sneer: "I'm afraid not, I'm looking for some kind of destined bride."

"...!" Kuroba Akito seemed a little tongue-tied, and under the half of the mask, one could even see faintly flushed cheeks.

Fu Xiaoyue rolled his eyes slightly, and under the surprised eyes of the audience, he said in a rough voice impatiently: "Forget it, it's settled like this, we will form an alliance immediately, you can enter the barrier again as soon as possible, and start over again." To get the approval of the monster inside."

It seems that from just now, Kuroba Akito couldn't understand her sudden change of attitude: "...Why do you all think that Xiaosheng will agree to help you?"

"It's not helping us, it's a win-win cooperation of mutual benefit."

The eyes behind the young scholar's mask suddenly narrowed slightly: "Why do you know? Can you provide Xiaosheng with any benefits?"

--Humph.

Fu Xiaoyue held his head high and straightened his chest, looking straight at him confidently, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth:

"I can help you marry a wife, are you afraid?"
