Miss Zashiki

Brother Inugami has been very troubled recently, and the source of this trouble is his dear and lovely little master.

On the premise of not discussing and analyzing it carefully with others, he secretly made such a conjecture—Master, she... seems to have ushered in the legendary "growth and rebellious period"!

Without him, it's just that for several days, Fu Xiaoyue always likes to run alone into the peach blossom forest without anyone, and then stay there for most of the day.

At first, Inugami and Jiumingmao were frightened by the scent and waited outside obediently, but seeing that the situation was still the same on the second and third day, the two who had been haunted by the mother's heart couldn't help but bite the bullet and resigned to their fate. followed in.

But it turned out that after Fu Xiaoyue entered the peach blossom forest, he almost did nothing, just found a pleasing dwarf tree to climb up, just sat on it in a daze, and didn't say a word to them.

Even if they tried their best to find a topic to talk to and coax her, she would always be errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

After a few days, Inugami found that, except for the repeated suffering of his nose, he had no further understanding of his master's condition.To make matters worse, the master didn't seem to want to pour out his troubles to him.

Inugami has heard before that some children do have a period of psychological awkwardness in the process of growing up - when there are unhappy things, they always like to think about it in their hearts instead of telling others - he suspects Will the owner be in such a state right now?

Thinking about it this way, Inugami didn't dare to follow rashly into the Peach Blossom Forest, and at the same time stopped Miss Nine-Life Cat - if that's what he really thought, forcibly disturbing the master's solitude might even arouse her rebellion Not sure about psychology.

——The little master’s baby is awkward, the correct way to deal with it should be to be wise and courageous, to act both hard and soft, to pay equal attention to counseling, and to...

What should I do! ! ?urgent!

No matter how much you think about it, Comrade Inugami only has the only answer in his head for the proposition "what to do if the master is unhappy"... However, the current master doesn't seem to want to eat this set……

The owner of the family has just grown up, but the little brother Inugami is so worried that he lost several hairs on his body in just a few days.

Unable to sleep or eat, he finally couldn't bear it this day, and stretched out his claws to the medicine seller.

-

The drug seller was arranging the bottles and jars in the medicine box, Shen Liang's eyes turned slightly, and the tense and stiff face of the young man standing next to him passed lightly, and he responded with an unclear meaning:

"……Oh?"

Inugami tried his best to hold back the deep sense of shame that surged up in his heart-not only could he not solve the master's problem by himself, but he even came to ask others for help. This is definitely a shame for him!

However, the current situation is that his whole dog is about to run away in a hurry, so he doesn't care about shame or not.

At this point, I have to say that Comrade Inugami still has some self-knowledge.According to his pissing behavior with Jiumingmao, he couldn't even say a serious word in front of Fu Xiaoyue. It's okay to be a fan of brainless calls, but don't even think about being a psychological mentor. ——Maybe leading and leading, there will be a strange branch line like "whoever the master doesn't like, I'll go and kill him right now".

It is also because of this that the dog god at this moment is willing to risk the shame and humiliation (?) to ask the drug seller who is more determined in his position to lend a helping hand.

But at the same time, there was another strange thing in his heart, and he didn't ask it out——

These days, Fu Xiaoyue not only said little to them, but also to the drug seller, but he didn't see any abnormalities in the drug seller himself - he didn't seem to worry about it at all.

Including now.

After listening to his words, the calm expression on the face of the young man in front of him has not changed at all, and the actions of his subordinates to pack the medicine box are still orderly.

After finally closing the drawers of the medicine box one by one, accompanied by a few light thuds, he raised his eyes again.However, what he looked at was not the young man standing stubbornly beside him, frowning, insisting on waiting for the answer, but the direction of the vast peach blossom forest beside the shrine in the distance.

He looked there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, and there was no superfluous emotion on his beautiful and unparalleled face. After a long time, he said slowly:

"Ok."

-

Comrade Fu Xiaoyue, who was at the center of the topic, was lying in a daze in the peach blossom forest just like a few days ago.

Inugami guessed that she had reached the stage of rebellion-this idea of ​​embarrassment is not completely nonsensical.

In fact, Comrade Fu Xiaoyao is currently in a hypocritical state of inexplicable, vexatious, youthful pain and literary sorrow.

The reason for it was probably that a few days ago, when she was returning to leisure, she accidentally thought of a question-then, the whole demon fell into a kind of bewilderment and confusion that could not be explained to outsiders, and it was almost impossible to extricate herself.

To say that this problem is not a big problem, she just thought of it casually-the matter of the killing temple here has come to an end. The demon has served as a priestess, and the crisis at the Shasheng Temple has been at least half over—it seems unreasonable for a few of them outsiders to stay here—in other words, it’s time to say goodbye and leave.

So, where to go next?What are you going to do?

——Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao's whole demon got stuck like this.

It is no exaggeration to say that when she first thought about this question, she found that her mind was completely blank.

After coming to this world, from surviving in the cracks at the beginning, to fleeing together later, to walking hand in hand after getting to know more companions—all the way, she was always in a state of drifting—being chased and going Go forward, follow others when they want to do something, and come back with your companions if they are in trouble...

Thinking about it carefully, every choice she has made so far is fundamentally not based on her original intention.

Before that, Fu Xiaoyue didn't think it was a big deal, after all, it was necessary in special circumstances, but now, she discovered the problem.

Now she no longer has to worry about not being able to support herself, and the troubles of her companions have all been resolved one by one. Even after Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan said that she can help, even the biggest crisis of being wanted can be eliminated in the future——

That is to say, from now on, she can really do whatever she wants, and go where she wants to go.

But the question is, where does she want to go?What do you like to do?

She also discussed a similar question with Inugami not long after she fled Hanamachi - she couldn't come up with a definite answer at the time, and it's still the same now.

Therefore, in the past few days, Fu Xiaoyue's state is that while worrying about this problem, he is also worrying about "I am actually worrying about this kind of problem".

Such a simple matter, why are you so hypocritical? Hey - she couldn't help but ask herself in her heart.

After struggling for a few days, she finally had a vague answer—if she wanted to say why, it was probably because she didn’t know this world at all, and the impression she had of it all came from a one-sided game—— In the final analysis, there is always a lack of a sense of belonging at ease... I guess.

Therefore, once she thinks about the question of "where to go", she instinctively feels uneasy-because no matter where she goes, there is no place for her to return to.

……That's it.

Although it may seem ridiculous to say it, she has to admit that it has been so long since time travel, and now that she has finally settled down and calmed down, it is the first time she has truly experienced the feeling of being out of place as an outsider. .

Fu Xiaoyue had no way to express this strange feeling to any of them, such as Inugami, Nine Lives Cat, or the drug seller.

-

Today's dazed mode is no different from the past——

If it wasn't interrupted suddenly.

Fu Xiaoyue first faintly heard a strange and small sound, which gradually became clear from far to near—it seemed to be a rustling sound of breaking through the air—and finally it was so close that it seemed to be right above his head.

She recovered from the daze, raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound, but only saw layers of dense peach blossom branches, and she could not see through them at all.

In the next second, she felt that the top of the peach tree she was sitting on trembled slightly, as if something was passing by - then, accompanied by that rustling sound, it gradually landed, and it turned out to be a figure, Slowly "floating" down from in front of her.

——Or, instead of "floating", it may be more appropriate to use "fly".

Fu Xiaoyue watched the other party's figure, descending to the same height as the branch he was sitting on, hanging there in the air, with a pair of conspicuous big wings flapping slowly behind him.

"..."

——She seems to have seen some incredible species.

Fu Xiaoyue's gaze moved straight from the pair of wings to the face of the figure in front of him.

The other person's face gave her the feeling that it was somewhere between a teenager and a young man. His facial features were beautiful and handsome, but at the same time he did not lose the heroic spirit of an adult man. With a head of light golden hair, he had the elegance and nobility of Zhilan Yushu.

——Such a face, with a pair of wings behind it...

For a moment, Fu Xiaoyue almost had the illusion that the guy in front of him seemed to be emitting an invisible halo around his head—the last thing was on those wings, the kind that had nothing to do with the light. , The pure black ink color can barely break her inconspicuous fantasy.

This young man who fell from the sky without warning floated in the air in front of her, with a pair of dark eyes, he quickly looked her up and down, and then there was a slight smile in it:

"Zashiki, long time no see."

Fu Xiaoyue looked at him helplessly, and replied in a daze, "...huh?"

"Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, we haven't seen each other for more than 300 years, are you okay here?"

Like his face, his voice is also between the clear boyish voice and the magnetic deep youthful voice, with a slow and gentle smile:

"If you hadn't seen the portraits on the arrest warrants, maybe it would not have been so easy to find you... There were rumors that you were dead—"

When he said this, he paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand, two slender fingers gently grabbed the soft cheeks on her cheeks, "Let me just say, how could the little Fuwa die so easily? Aren't you living a good life?"

"..." Fu Xiaoyao's face was pinched in a daze.

If it weren't for the very real touch on her face, at this moment, she really wanted to blink her eyes a few times to confirm whether she had some strange hallucinations due to too many days of worrying.

However, seeing that she didn't speak, the young man in front of her seemed to have misunderstood something. Youyou withdrew her finger and said softly, "Okay, don't be angry, I won't tease you anymore."

With a slight smile on his face, he was about to say something more, but the next moment, another female voice sounded not far away, interrupted abruptly——

"I said, you two, can you talk less nonsense?"

With the sound of these words, a silver-white figure fell into Fu Xiaoyue's eyes.

It looked like a very young and beautiful woman, her whole body clothing, her waist-length hair, and her pair of crystal pupils were all pure silver white, and the exposed skin was so white that it was almost translucent. immediate sense of sight.

Fu Xiaoyue could clearly feel that the moment this woman appeared beside her, the temperature in this space suddenly dropped by several degrees, almost making her shiver on the spot—as if, in her What falls in front of my eyes is not a figure of a person, but a piece of winter ice and snow.

"Yo."

Unlike the youth who came first, there were no wings behind this woman, but at this moment, she was still strangely floating in front of Fu Xiaoyester out of thin air.

The moment she saw her, the woman raised a pair of slender silver eyebrows slightly, and made a random sound in her mouth, which seemed to be a greeting tone.

She folded her arms lazily, like the young man beside her, with a pair of ice-cold silver eyes, she observed the slender figure sitting on the branch in front of her carefully for a few seconds, and then whistled frivolously. Tsk tsk in a serious manner:

"Tsk tsk tsk... It's been so many years, and you haven't grown any taller... You are really a model for the dwarf world, huh?"

Fu Xiaoyue: "..."
