Miss Zashiki

"...Oh, again, you want to give the dog medicine, right?"

This sentence is poisonous.

Fu Xiaoyue stared blankly at the guy in front of him who took ten seconds to say ten words, speechless.

After the initial excitement passed, she slowly realized a problem: this is not a game.

Here, monsters can only be divided into strengths and weaknesses, and there is no such thing as "rare species"-but when it comes to strength...

She couldn't help recalling the time when she unlocked the biography of the Shikigami [Selling Medicine Man], and she had the experience of losing points and segments in free falling postures all the way.

In addition, what poured even more cold water on reality was that she remembered a setting about the guy in front of her:

The medicine seller, it seems, has always regarded himself as a "human being", and the sword that slays demons lying in his medicine box is still used to kill monsters.

So here comes the problem, if she remembers correctly, she is a monster now, at present, right now.

Unfortunately, Zashiki Doji is still a combat power of minus five.

...This tm is very embarrassing.

——After the above-mentioned long and roundabout reflex arc, Fu Xiaoyao, who finally returned to reality, was shocked by the stupidity of his own operation of sending Baba to his door!

In the end, with a chill in her chest, she simply shook her head, decided to break the can, and forcibly selectively forgot herself who was enthusiastically flirting with others a minute ago. When she spoke the next sentence, she resolutely and innocently changed the topic It comes to the original intention of "buying medicine" that has been forgotten for 1 years.

However, to her surprise, Mr. Yaolang followed her and changed the subject without any sign of being surprised or uncomfortable—if one ignores the snarky sentence.

On the verge of death, Fu Xiaoyue could only comfort herself forcibly—the other party probably hadn't discovered her identity as a monster yet.

And immediately decided that before she figured out the big boss's attitude, it was better for her to focus on her current situation, keep a low profile as a human (monster), and save her life.

But then again, what do you mean by "'again' is medicine for dogs"?Do people often buy medicine for dogs from him or something?

Although she felt that the words in these words were rather weird, but because she was very guilty at the moment, she finally held the idea of ​​saying too many mistakes, so she didn't have the courage to ask further.

After taking the small jar that the other party took out from the medicine box, Fu Xiaoyue paid the money conveniently, and then ran away from the place of right and wrong with short legs.

Looking at the slender back of the other party as if fleeing away, the drug seller still sat quietly. After a long time, he withdrew his unclear gaze and looked down at the tip of his right index finger.

I don't know when, a small golden balance with exquisite material and delicate workmanship was standing there quietly.The trays on both sides were empty, and the scale itself tipped over to one side—

The slanted side is exactly in the direction where Fu Xiaoyue fled.

The gaze in the slender eyes did not fluctuate, and the drug seller continued to look at it expressionlessly.

After a long while, the small balance, which was originally tilted steadily in one direction, suddenly trembled, as if it was disturbed by some external force, and swayed from side to side at an extremely fast frequency.

Xiuzhi frowned slightly, and the drug seller quickly took out something from the medicine box beside him, spread his right hand on it, wiped it with his fingers together, and saw five more small balances that were exactly the same as before. , standing in a row in the white palm.

This time the little balances did not swing from side to side, but steadily and accurately tilted towards another direction that was completely different from before, the movements were unified, and even the light and crisp bells sounded almost as one.

From then on, the slender eyelashes slowly lifted up, and there was a touch of ice and snow in his eyes, which were as quiet as a deep pool.

"here we go."

-

Cowarded in the grass in the backyard for a long time, Fu Xiaoyao, who felt that she had escaped from death, secretly subsided the fear in her heart. She patted her chest and stood up straight. She couldn't help but sighed to the sky.

I thought it was a sr, but it turned out to be an ordinary dog ​​with half of its body already in a coffin; I was sure it was an ssr, and it was also a master who always took demons and demons as his mission.

——Why is her fate so unfavorable?

After staring at the sky like this for a few minutes, she remembered the medicine jar she was holding in her hand.

So, how to use this thing?Topical or internal?She hadn't thought of asking the last question at all.Unscrew the lid of the jar, and the bitter fragrance of herbs is faintly exuded.

While thinking about it, Fu Xiaoyao raised his foot and walked towards the firewood room where the "God of Dogs" was locked.

Yesterday, she fought with it two by two for half an hour, but in the end she was still in a bad physical condition and completely lost consciousness, so she was able to muster up the courage to approach and clean the blood-stained body.

With her current stature, although Inugami is not a breed of giant dog, it is enough to imagine the arduousness of this whole project.It is not an exaggeration to say that it took her almost an entire afternoon.

"Hmm... Let's wipe the wound first and look outside, in case something goes wrong after eating, it will be difficult." She muttered softly, and pushed open the door of the firewood room.

According to Oikawa, this room is an extra waste room, used to store sundries. When Inugami is closed, only the servants will come to deliver the leftovers once in the evening on weekdays, and no one cares about it at other times.

Because of this, when he opened the door and saw another figure inside, Fu Xiaoyue was almost startled.

She recognized him as the servant who was following Oikawa, his name was Tokuji, he was a tall and strong man with a taciturn face and rough face.

Deci's body paused when he heard the sound of the door opening, and he continued to fiddle with something in his hand, until there was a light knock sound, and he looked up:

"...Little yesterday girl."

Fu Xiaoyue saw clearly that what he was holding in his hand was a palm-wide doll, shaped like a tumbler. The colored glaze looked very beautiful, and there was a cute smiling face of a fat doll painted on it.

He seemed to be putting something inside just now, and the clicking sound should be the sound of closing the lid.

Uh……

Does such a tall man go to the utility room to find dolls?

Fu Xiaoyue was a little amused by his conjecture, and boasted with a smile: "This doll is pretty pretty."

Tokuji looked at her silently for a while, did not speak, nodded slightly, put the doll into a drawer of a long cabinet on the side wall, and then walked past her to the door without saying a word.

Fu Xiaoyue thought that this person would not speak anymore, but when he walked outside the door, he seemed to think of something, turned around and said again——

"Miss Xiaoyao, please don't touch the things in this room casually."

"……Okay, I get it now."

Seeing the person walking away completely, Fu Xiaoyue finally couldn't help curling her lips angrily.

what?Isn't it just a doll? If you like it so much, you can take it away now. Do you think she will snatch it from him?

However, when she lowered her head and saw her child's body in the next second, she finally had to admit that the other party's suspicion was not without reason...

Sighing, Fu Xiaoyue held the medicine pot in his hand and a short wooden branch that he had just picked up and washed in the yard, and went into the house, ready to give the dog god medicine.

Unexpectedly, when she walked around the long cabinets that lined the entire wall and saw the Inugami on the ground in the corner behind which was still locked by thick iron chains, she was shocked by its appearance.

The jet-black hair that was cleaned by her just yesterday afternoon was once again stained with blood and tangled into a mess. It seemed that after a very violent struggle earlier, the wounds all over the body were torn open, and the torso and limbs were twitching abnormally. The sharp claws in the middle opened completely ferociously, and sharp scratches were drawn on the stone slab. His face was buried on the ground, and there were intermittent and difficult "drinking" panting from below.

How is this going?When she left yesterday, it was barely able to eat something. How could it be like this after one night?

"Hey! What's wrong with you!? Inugami? Inugami!"

Calling it several times in succession did not respond. In desperation, Fu Xiaoyue put down the things in his hand and tried to approach it.

She wasn't sure if the other person was conscious now, if she passed out completely, in this position, it might even be suffocated to death by the tongue stuck in its throat.

However, when she got close to it and was two meters away, she was suddenly stopped by a biting chill that hit her in front of her.

It was a feeling that was a bit colder than the icy water in midwinter, with a vaguely ominous aura, as if it could penetrate the bones into the marrow and soul, and it made her shiver all of a sudden.

If she felt right, the chill was coming from the dog.

"Dog, God?" She called out again with some uncertainty.

This time, the other party finally had a reaction. He lay on the ground, moved his head, and slowly raised it towards her.

"Back!" / "Back!"

Fu Xiaoyue was staring at it intently, when two shouts suddenly sounded in his ears, before his body could move in time, a burning sensation suddenly appeared on his back.Then, she felt that she was attracted by some invisible force field, and her body moved backwards involuntarily, and quickly retreated nearly five meters——

She recognized the two voices just now.

One is Comrade "Goldfinger" who will speak in her head from time to time, and the other is...

Fu Xiaoyue stiffened her body, turned her head mechanically, and as expected (not) saw the figure carrying the medicine box outside the door——

In just an instant, the expression on Fu Xiaoyue's small face became uglier than crying, and his voice was as thin as a moaning mosquito, and he was so cowardly:

"Yao, Mr. Yaolang, it's you... What are you doing here?"

—Wow!What else can you do?It's not just to see the dog, is it?It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over... The fact that she is a monster is probably exposed!

What?Why don't you continue to see what's wrong with Inugami?joke!Never mind a dog! ?In the current situation, she is likely to die faster than it, okay? ?

Fu Xiaoyue looked at him pitifully, praying silently in his heart with his last hope:

What if, what if they just got lost?

Outside the door, under the clear and bright sunlight, the slender eye corners of the medicine seller's beautiful makeup were cast a small neat shadow by the slender eyelashes.

He lightly looked down at the crying girl in the room, and was slightly opened by the light purple arc of the mouth, and through the delicate shell-colored teeth, there was a deep and cool tone, like the sound of a mellow piano hitting the in the air—

"Little monster, you are so brave, son."

--OK.

——It's not in case.

Fu Xiaoyester... Fu Xiaoyester has no time to complain about the other party's sentence segmentation skills.

She now has only two letters left in her head:

gg.
