Miss Zashiki

After Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan's words, there was a sound of water breaking in the direction of the deep pool, followed by another frivolous male voice:

"But I see you are good at dancing with sleeves, flickering one after another, playing with a group of little monsters between applause, isn't it very happy?"

Fu Xiaoyue, who was originally sullen and didn't intend to look at anything, couldn't help being curious at this moment, and turned his gaze towards the direction of movement and stillness.

The figure that leaped out of the pool looked like a young man, tall, with a deep red robe dripping water on his body, outlining his texture clearly, his face was quite Aggressively handsome, with demon lines at the corners of his eyes, and a head of light golden long hair flauntingly floating in the air——

Different from the elegant and soft beauty of Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan, the man in front of him exudes a haughty and evil demeanor.

Fu Xiaoyue just stared at the figure eagerly, blinked, and blinked again——

That's amazing my brother, even though he is soaked all over his body, he still has such a cool hairstyle without any mess, how did he do it?

and many more.

This sharp yet stylish, eye-catching and self-defining hairstyle...why does it look familiar?

Fu Xiaoyue fell into deep thought.

——By the way, what did Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan call him just now?

——Nu Liangjun.

——Nura... Nura Lusheng!

She immediately took a deep breath, causing the medicine sellers who were watching the moonlight to look slightly sideways.

Fu Xiaoyue couldn't suppress her excitement at all - besides the drug seller, this was the second live SSR she saw with her own eyes!

Especially when she was surrounded by a lot of colorful, grotesque, gray n-card monsters, she almost had an illusion, as if the other party was surrounded by an invisible golden light...

If there is an announcement channel in this world, at this moment, she has to go up and watch the frequency—"God! Fu Xiao successfully smuggled out of the country yesterday! He will leave Africa and enter Europe from now on! I'm really envious of others!"—No.

But in fact, facing the cold gaze of the drug seller, Fu Xiaoyue just sneaked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Yaolang, who is this monster?"

Seeing the expression of joy that couldn't be concealed, the drug seller was silent for a while, and finally answered, with a deep and flat voice:

"The big monster who has recently arrived in Kyoto, Nura Yuba."

"Oh... Huh?" Fu Xiaoyue just wanted to nod his head in a pretentious manner, but the next second, the happy expression on his face froze.

--what?

...Slider?

——Isn’t it Nura Rikusheng?

-

Seeing his companion reappeared, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan ignored the other party's ridicule, turned to smile again and looked at the girl with beads, and said softly:

"What you said earlier is very reasonable. With my own strength, it is really difficult to escape from so many monsters. To be on the safe side, I called this companion to come with me. It's a joke."

When Shuzhu saw the figure coming out of the water, his complexion sank unsightly in an instant, and he almost gritted his teeth: "Slippery ghost...you actually want to join forces with Yin and Yang masters, and fight against my Shasheng Temple?"

Hearing this, Nuliang Huapiao on the other side glanced at her indifferently, and leaned on the side lazily with her arms folded: "As a girl, why are you so yelling and barking your teeth and claws, you are really unrefined .”

Seeing that the other party was suddenly more angry, he smiled, raised his index finger and waved lazily at her:

"Please don't get me wrong, I have no interest in the grievances and hatred between you. It's just that what I want to do, happens to lead to the same goal with this guy, so this is just a temporary alliance."

The counting bead girl stared at them, and said tauntingly: "What you are going to do by different routes, do you mean sneaking into my temple to steal chickens and dogs in the middle of the night? I specially picked the current period of turmoil in the temple. If you say that you don't have ulterior motives, idiots will not believe it!"

In the face of her accusation, one person and one monster stopped commenting, as if they only treated her as an ignorant little girl playing with temper, and they didn't mean to get angry.

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan turned her eyes to look at her monster companion, and suddenly asked for no reason:

"How's it going?"

Nuliang Huapiao slightly raised his chin toward the pool, shook his head and replied:

"It won't work. The guy inside has already recognized the Lord, and he is very determined, and he refuses to submit to my 'fear'."

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan pondered for a few seconds after hearing the words, and then sighed softly with regret: "...From this point of view, there is really no other way."

……

Listening to the two of them talking like no one else (demon), the group of little monsters realized something, and the trembling at first gradually turned into a blank look at each other.

The little monk Iron Mouse blinked, and cautiously whispered to the girl next to him: "Senior sister, they seem to... want to help us and solve the earthquake catastrophe..."

Shu Zhu frowned and reprimanded loudly: "Shut up!"

This conversation was short and light, but Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan could hear it clearly, and he looked over with a smile.

"I say I'm helping you, but I'm also helping myself. To be honest, I'm going to prepare a work, and the final key to its completion lies in this Inari Shrine - I will seal the earthquake cat into the barrier, and use its demonic power to gather in the knot The boundary itself. But as the eye of the formation, the monster power of the earthquake catfish itself is too weak, and it needs the blessing and protection of external power to make the formation more stable and durable."

All the little monsters were half puzzled, but most of them just understood that he wanted to help solve the earthquake catfish's troubles, so they listened intently.

The counting bead girl's complexion was so dark that she almost dripped water. After a long silence, she asked in a stiff tone, "What does the so-called external strength refer to?"

Seeing that she finally put on a little bit of condescension, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan sighed, with a look of helplessness:

"My original plan was to ask God Inari to help me with divine power, but unexpectedly she is missing now... Yakuro-kun later suggested to me to untie the seal of the Two-Faced Buddha and ask him for help, but with my current spirit Power, this is really out of my reach... I am now the next best thing to do, and I want to borrow the "power of fear" of the Lord Nuliang, because it inherits the power of awe from the land god, although it is not pure and powerful than the pure power of the real god, but It is also very impressive, but unfortunately, the earthquake catfish can't cooperate with it..."

Hearing him put forward several proposals one after another and reject them one after another, the moods of a bunch of little monsters couldn't help being tossed up and down.

The little monk Iron Mouse was anxious, and couldn't help but boldly said: "Then don't think about using external power for now, just seal it, and last as long as the barrier can last, think about it when you have time." Is there no other way?"

"Um--"

Under a bunch of piercing and honest gazes, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan slightly dragged his tone, and replied with a smile: "No way. For me, incomplete works, don't worry about it. After confirming the completion of the work Before the method of the world, I will not seal the earthquake catfish."

"you--!"

The little monsters all forgot his title as a great yin and yang master for a while, glared at him, and felt that they had been completely tricked by him.

——How can this onmyoji be so annoying!

The counting bead girl also gritted her teeth, and scoffed coldly: "After talking for a long time, it turned out to be nonsense!"

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan raised her eyebrows indifferently, and said in a manly voice: "How can it be nonsense? If there are many choices, naturally we have to choose the best. But as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not yet possible to settle for the second best—— So, I have no choice but to take another step back."

Shuzhu stared at him for a while, pursed the corners of her mouth unwillingly, and finally said: "You mean...do you have other ways?"

When Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan heard the words, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was quite mysterious, and he whispered softly:

"I said before that I came here to resolve the old grievances, but I need your cooperation... In fact, the root of the grievances between us lies neither with the yin-yang teacher nor with the fox. clan, not to mention the people in the Shasheng Temple, but—”

The counting bead girl listened to his words, she was a little confused at first, but after hearing it, she had a little unbelievable expression.

With some inexplicable sense of panic, she interrupted him anxiously: "You, you...how dare you!? You are so daring!"

As expected, Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan stopped talking, lowered her eyes slightly, but smiled without saying a word.

-

After the conversation that made outsiders sound cloudy, Shuzhu's expression became sombre, and he and Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan left the open space behind the mountain to "take a step to talk"—the latter took the slave by the way. Liang Huapiao and the drug seller were also taken away.

The rest of the little monsters were ordered fiercely to go back to their respective rooms to sleep.

Although the onlookers were confused, most of the monsters obediently obeyed their senior sister's words and left.

Only the little monk Iron Mouse, who couldn't let go, and Comrade Fu Xiaoyao, who was scratched by curiosity, sneaked up and wanted to eavesdrop.

Inugami and Jiumingmao had no choice but to stick behind her obediently with sleepy eyes.

——Of course, their eavesdropping plan did not succeed.

Those guys turned into a room, and then closed the door tightly, even if they put their ears on the door, they couldn't hear the slightest sound from inside.

Little Monk Tieshu saw that she was going to try in different ways, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "My benefactor yesterday, forget it, it's useless...Sister Shuzhu has cast the spell."

"what?"

In the blink of an eye, Fu Xiaoyue followed the direction of his fingers, and saw a few afterimages of Buddhist beads floating on the door in front of him.

"..."

She couldn't help letting out a sigh of frustration.

——Does it need to be so mysterious?Then why didn't you hide and say it secretly in the first place?It also saves her from hearing half of the information now, and the information is scattered, and she is so uncomfortable to death!

——Go back to the room like this, how can you still sleep! ?

Thinking so angrily, when she lowered her head, she saw the two beside her, unable to resist the drowsiness, both turned into the form of black dog and black cat, nestled at her feet and fell asleep.

... So, it would be better if she simply held back her curiosity and didn't listen to it from the beginning?

Unable to repent, she could only lower her voice and ask for help from the little monk Iron Mouse beside her:

"Little Master Iron Mouse, you should try to guess what they are going to say? Like the Yin-Yang master said just now, the source of the hatred is not the fox clan, the Yin-Yang master, or the monsters in the Shasheng Temple. ...What the hell is that? What kind of enmity is there between you?"

After the little monk heard this question, a bit of unspeakable distress suddenly appeared on Zhengtai's serious face.

He cautiously peeked at the direction of the door, then looked at Fu Xiaoyao, who had a pitiful face full of thirst for knowledge, struggled to grit his teeth slightly, and said in a softer voice than her:

"In our temple, this is an absolutely taboo topic... If the little monk guessed correctly, what he wanted to say should be... yes, Miko-sama..."

Almost at the same time he heard the word clearly, Fu Xiaoyue wanted to exclaim on the spot, but thinking of the two sleeping on the ground, he subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands.

— Miko!Was it the kind of miko she knew?

The little monk looked at her staring eyes, and nodded slightly: "In my Sacrificing Temple, there have been three generations of witches serving the gods... But there are rumors that the three generations of witches are all related to the fox clan and Yin-Yang masters. Entanglement, doing things that go against the will of the gods, will not end well on their own, and will cause a lot of evil results outside, so that each other has deep hatred and draws each other into old enemies..."

Speaking of this, with some kind of heavy sigh, the little monk clasped his hands together and said softly: "I think now, the Sassei Temple has been in existence for hundreds of years, and there has never been a fourth generation of shrine maidens stationed in the shrine... Amitabha."

Fu Xiaoyue listened in a daze: "Whether there is a witch...does it make any difference?"

There was a bit of obvious frustration between the eyebrows of the little monk Iron Mouse: "Master Miko serves the gods with all sincerity, with no distractions, is loyal and sincere, shares the heavy burden for the gods, inherits the power of faith, and upholds the will of God when necessary." , to pray and take refuge for the people of one side... If there are still priestesses stationed in the shrine, even if Lord Inari leaves temporarily, it will not have such a big impact."

Fu Xiao fell into silence slightly yesterday.

--I see.

From this point of view, the purpose of Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan mentioning this incident at this time is almost inseparable, that is, to let Killing Temple provide another witch.

In fact, thinking about it from another angle, could it be that because of the absence of the maiden, Mizutsu could not bear the burden of responsibility and chose to escape from the shrine?Once upon a time, the two-faced Buddha and the maiden who assisted her have disappeared, so after living alone for hundreds of years, she does not know when, she will also want to disappear...

Being blinded like this, she couldn't help being a little lost in thought.

——and ah...

As far as she can think of the game settings, witches, foxes, onmyojis—there are not many related plots that can connect these words.

Then, could the grievances and entanglements among the three parties have something to do with a certain nine-tailed fox demon with the title of "Peerless Demon"...?
