Miss Zashiki

"So, you actually fell in love with her younger sister when you came here for the first time, and this time you were desperate to find her again, but unexpectedly, you were put in a big black pot as soon as you came... In the end, even the younger sister's face I didn’t even see it, and I was kicked out in a desperate way—is it like this?”

Seeing the half of the other party's stiff face under the mask, which rarely faded from the smile, Fu Xiaoyue tried hard to hold back a smile, and couldn't help gloating.

After being silent for a while, Kuroba Akito raised a smirk at the corner of his mouth: "... A girl who is too gossip is not so cute, I hope you know."

"—Okay, I know, I know."

Accept it when you see it, she agreed repeatedly, stopped watching his jokes, and turned to the drug seller: "Mr. Yao Lang, then we will follow him into the enchantment, what do you think?"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the drug seller hadn't commented yet, but Kuroba Akito on the other side had already firmly refused: "Wait a minute!"

--what happened again?

Facing the puzzled expressions of the monsters, the young scholar slightly turned his face away and cleared his throat: "Xiaosheng... Xiaosheng hasn't considered it properly yet."

"What else do you want to think about, meow? Momojiji!"

Squeezing the impatient Nine Lives Cat's shoulder comfortingly, Fu Xiaoyue saw the other party's hesitation, and a guess gradually floated in his heart.

"Since you have just entered the enchantment, you have only seen two brothers, but not your younger sister... Does your younger sister also think that Tomato has been killed by you?"

The look in the young scholar's eyes was rather complicated. After staring at her, he turned away again and shook his head: "She doesn't know yet. Her two brothers have been coaxing her, and the dog is just hiding and following her." She played hide-and-seek...but after all, it has been so long, I am afraid that it will not be able to hide it for a long time after all."

emmmmm——

Fu Xiaoyue heard it thoughtfully: "So, in the end, you are afraid. After seeing her, she will also blame Tomato's death on you——and then hate you completely and never want to see you. Never forgive you again. Right?"

"...!"

At first, Kuroba Akito wanted to subconsciously deny it, but when he heard the subsequent misunderstandings, his face turned green and pale for a while.

"What? Before you met us, you pretended to be wandering around here, were you worried about this problem?"

Seeing his gnawing appearance, Fu Xiaoyue felt very relieved, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hi! Didn't I tell you everything, can I help you?"

Hearing this, not only the eyes of Akito Kuroba on the opposite side were full of doubts, but even the Inugami and Jiumingmao beside him were also surprised.

"Master? Could it be that you have a way to find that dog? But... doesn't it mean that it is dead?"

Fu Xiaoyue mysteriously put up a finger and put it in front of his lips, while blinking at him a few times: "Temporary secrecy."

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked expectantly at the drug seller who had been silent all along: "By the way, Mr. Yao Lang, do you have any good ideas? For example, use a spell to conjure an identical dog --some type of."

The drug seller didn't say a word, just looked at her indifferently.

"...Well, pretend I didn't say it." Fu Xiaoyue's shoulders slumped almost imperceptibly, and he sighed slightly: "There will always be a way."

-

"..." The corners of Kuroba Akito's mouth trembled in confusion, and there was a little patience in the eyes behind the mask: "If, the 'method' you mentioned refers to this—"

Fu Xiaoyue turned a deaf ear to the voice in his ears, and only focused on teasing the black cat in his arms.Seeing it squinting its eyes comfortably under her fingers, she couldn't help smiling, and then moved closer, and whispered to it:

"Xiao Jiu, be good. Wait a minute, when another young lady touches you, you must not bite her!"

Hearing her words clearly, the black cat's ears trembled slightly, its proud and bright cat eyes quickly glanced over her face, and it meowed reluctantly.

Seeing the harmonious interaction between her and the black cat, Kuroba Akito took a deep breath, "... If you have to find a substitute, shouldn't another member of your team take on this task , would it be much more suitable? Xiaosheng remembers, at least he is also a dog demon, right?"

Understanding that he was referring to Inugami, Fu Xiaoyue looked back at him innocently: "It's not impossible to let Inugami come. But the problem is, Inugami is too big, I really can't hold it."

"..." The young scholar suddenly choked.

The dog god boy next to him immediately lowered his head silently and solemnly, and quickly began to reflect on himself three times a day: it turned out that the owner thought he was too big.

——Why does he have to be so big?

—What a mistake!

……

Following Kuroba Akito into the barrier, after a while, the whole team was stopped by a figure jumping out in front——

"stop!"

Several monsters stopped after this loud shout, and at the same time cautiously looked at the figure in front of them.

Kuroba Akito raised the folding fan in his hand to half cover his mouth, and said in a low voice, "This is the second elder brother among the three siblings."

——Ah, that’s Brother Tiaotiao.

In Fu Xiaoyue's impression, among the three brothers and sisters in the Tiaotiao family, the younger brother Tiaotiao should be the only IQ responsible for the daily brain circuit online, and communication should not be so difficult.

The monster in front of him didn't look much different from an ordinary [-]- or [-]-year-old human boy—except for his skin that was as pale as paper and without a trace of blood.

The young man frowned, and turned his eyes seriously to several of them one by one. When he saw Akito Kuroba, his eyes widened suddenly: "It's you again, the villain!"

As he said that, he took a step back slightly, and put on a defensive posture, "Okay! He even brought a helper to break in again—why, don't you stop killing Tomato, and insist on driving us brothers and sisters to death? Can't you!?"

Under his aggressive accusations and questioning, the young scholar, who used to be full of coquettish and unrestrained style, had disappeared at this time. He was full of depression but couldn't help it, so he could only remain silent on the spot with a cold face.

Looking at the young fox demon who only dared to suffer in front of his future brother-in-law, Fu Xiaoyue couldn't help shaking his head silently angrily, and interrupted that side's one-sided criticism: "Okay, okay, please!" Calm down first. The few of us who came to this enchantment didn't want to find fault."

The other party obviously did not believe this statement, and continued to stare at them angrily.

Fu Xiaoyue didn't mind his attitude. He thought for a while and continued: "The few of us are from Kuroba Akito...uh, friends. This time he came here to return the tomato to you. But you seem to have misunderstood him a bit, so we came in together and wanted to explain it for him."

"...What do you mean? Give us back the tomato?" The young man frowned slightly: "It's full of lies! The tomato is obviously dead!"

"Who said it was dead? We all brought it!"

Seeing her swearing appearance, the young man couldn't help but have some doubts: "...Where is it?"

"Isn't it right here!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fu Xiaoyao stretched out his hand confidently and pointed directly at the black cat in his arms.

"..."

Miss Nine Lives Cat stared at the tiny white finger that was close to the tip of her nose, her beard fluttered a few times.

After a tangled battle in her mind to lick or not to lick, she stuck out her tongue dismissively.

After licking, she raised her eyes arrogantly, and met all the complex gazes with different expressions around her.

-

"You guys, if you dare to lie to me—" the young man led the way ahead, thinking about the threatening words sternly.

Although his brain is a little more active, he is still only a ten-year-old boy after all, and he can't say any substantive cruel words even if he turns upside down.

Fu Xiaoyue didn't take those words to heart during the whole process, and he didn't pay attention to Akito Kuroba who kept making eye contact with him and asking for advice.

Compared with the previous two enchantments, the space in this enchantment is very small, and it seems that it is only within the range of a medium-sized manor house.

With Tiaotiao's younger brother leading the way, after a while, they crossed a small path and stood at the door of a certain independent log cabin in the manor.

Before reaching out to push the door, the young man still hesitated, turned his head to emphasize something, but when he met Fu Xiaozhang's smiling eyes, his words were stuck in his throat for no reason.

Pausing for a moment, he pushed the door open.

"No this! I want a tomato - woo woo..."

As soon as the door was pushed open, a clear and crying cry came out.

This room seems to be a space for storing sundries. At first glance, there are many old toys and utensils, stacked in half the room.In the open space in the center of the room, two figures sat facing each other.

Facing them was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, with a handsome face, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the boy who opened the door, his complexion was also unhealthy pale, and his expression was a little bewildered. Moe means.

He was scratching an old rattle in his hand, and when he heard the sound, he seemed to be relieved immediately, and looked up to this side: "Brother, you finally returned—huh?"

Sitting in front of him was a petite girl, her back was facing them at this moment, she couldn't see her face, only the two long ponytails were hanging limply on the ground.

Xu Shi saw the stunned expression of the young man in front of him, the girl's previous cry was slightly stagnated, and she turned her head to look at it with some sobs, and the two long ponytails flicked out a very lively and agile arc in the air.

Touching several figures at the door, the girl's red eyes like rabbits suddenly opened slightly. Apart from the messy tear stains all over her face, the few teardrops on the eyelashes were also about to fall.

For a moment, they looked at each other in blank dismay.
