[Inuyasha] Spider Silk

A heavy snowfall fell in the mountains, dyeing the world white with silver.

Sazhi walked through the bare birch forest with her quiver on her back. There was no sound of other living things in the silent forest, only the slightly sunken footsteps echoed in the clear and cold air.

——"Is there anything you want?"

--"……Yes, I have."

--"you."

Arriving at the marked spot, Shazhi brushed away the cover on the ground. The traps set up a few days ago were empty, and the surrounding snow was flat and clean. Obviously, no living things had ever visited.

……

She sighed in no surprise.

The scene of that day appeared in front of her eyes. The monster in human skin stood in the forest where the red maple was falling, showing a strange expression that she couldn't understand for a moment.

...Probably shy.

Judging by the other party's reaction, it seemed that this was the first time they encountered such a direct courtship.

Would it be better to be more tactful next time?

After staying in the Warring States Period for a long time, she was accidentally influenced by the local customs, and she almost forgot that not all creatures like this simple and rude way.

On a clear winter day, shimmering on the branches of the birch tree, Saori readjusted the trap and replaced it with fresher bait. When she turned around with her quiver on her back and walked back, she suddenly felt something behind her.

Drawn by a strange intuition, she turned her head and saw a lone bee silently vibrating its wings, not far behind her under the cover of the birch tree.

Recently, she has vaguely felt that there is a line of sight sticking to her body all the time, as long as she goes out, whether she is hunting or beating monsters, that breath seems to linger behind her back.

At first, he thought that the other party was coming for the fragments of the jade of the four souls, but later found that this was not the case.These days, the other party has been standing still, just observing her every move in secret, not exuding murderous aura, nor feeling any malice.

...Since the other party didn't seem to be looking for trouble, Saori let the other party go before.

Saori jumped in the snow, shortening the distance in an instant, reached out and grabbed the strange bug before it escaped, and easily grabbed it and lifted it up.

"Are you alone?"

In this cold season, bees should stay in the hive to keep warm through the winter.

Vibrating its translucent wings quickly, the worm monster tried to fly out of her hand like a hummingbird. Saori observed carefully and found that if it was a bee, the opponent's body was obviously too huge, and it was full of her body from head to tail. The palms are so long, the red eyes are six-legged, the yellow body has black stripes horizontally, and there is a circle near the head...purple fur? ? ?

Saori thought she had made a mistake, but when she looked closely again, there was indeed a circle of purple fur growing around the neck of the worm monster, which looked a little like a lady's scarf.

Unable to resist the temptation, Saori poked at the circle of purple fur and found that it felt unexpectedly soft, so she couldn't help stretching out her fingers to scratch it again.

The worm demon's body froze, as if someone had poked a strange acupuncture point, and suddenly fell limply into her hands, its wings drooping.

When Shazhi returned to the house, she found that Yin Dao was the same as usual, sitting by the fireside and staring at the puppet lying in the embers.

"Yindao, Yindao," she shook off the snow on her body, hung the bamboo hat by the door, and handed the insect monster that looked like a bee to him as if offering a treasure, "I brought you a pet back .”

As if she was afraid that the other party would not be interested, she stretched out her finger and scratched the most fierce fur. The most fierce lying in her palm shook its wings and narrowed its eyes in comfort, as if it didn't want to move at all. .

"..." After seeing clearly what she was holding in her hand, Yin Dao's face seemed to twitch slightly, and his expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

"Really." He said slowly, his eyes fell on the fiercest one, "You brought a... pet back."

When he mentioned the word pet, he casually emphasized his tone, and the worm demon, who seemed to be completely unwilling to move, suddenly trembled, flapped his wings extraordinarily quickly, and flew away from her palm.

"What do you think of the name Rhubarb?" Saori asked enthusiastically.

Yin Dao glanced at her, looking...not very happy.

Ever since what happened in Fenglin, he has acted a little bit wrong, he has lost his gentle and refined pretense, and has become eccentric.

Saori feels that this is the real appearance of the other party, so she feels that the other party's yin and yang is also very cute, which is simply lovable.

"Then call it Xiao Huang." She simply backed down.

Grabbing in the air casually, she brought the worm demon, who looked very guilty and seemed to have wilted in an instant, to Yin Dao, and put it in his palm.

Touching the cold and pale palm, the fiercest one trembled suddenly, curled up its six legs obediently, and lay motionless in Yindao's hand as if pretending to be dead.

"You two should get along well." Saori said happily.

Yin Dao lowered his eyes, looking at the most fierce victory in his hand with some playfulness.

"Stop acting like a baby?"

The fiercest win played very hard.

Saori: "You need to scratch the purple fur around its neck."

"Oh?" Yin Dao moved his fingers.

Zhi Mengsheng, who was lying in his hands, seemed about to be stressed, but fortunately, Sazhi finally left the stove and went to cook by the earthen stove.

The mountains were covered by heavy snow, and the peaceful days passed away like flowing water. Saori heard that the warriors in the city liked to hold winter hunting in the season when they were not fighting. She bought a horse from somewhere and brought it to the open space behind the house. He raised it, and brought a large bundle of straw.

Yin Dao doesn't go out very much, but whether it's a human or a monster, it needs to move its body occasionally.

"Let me teach you how to hunt."

With a quiver on her back, Saori happily led the horse and walked ahead, and brought the Yin knife to the open space where she used to practice archery.A crude archery target hangs from a tree branch not far away, and a round target is painted with dark paint mixed with grass juice.

With long dark curly hair tied up, Yin Dao stood on the snow in the forest, the dappled sunlight cast shadows, making his whole body seem to be glowing, and the side face with bow and arrow was as elegant and smooth as jade.

"Raise your elbows a little more, keep your cheeks a little further away from the bowstring, and be careful not to get scratched—"

With a clear whistling sound, the sharp arrow left the string, and ruthlessly but steadily... pierced into the tree trunk below the bull's-eye.

After several arrows in succession, the other party deviated beautifully and perfectly from the bull's-eye hanging under the branch.

...was it the inability to concentrate?It doesn't look like it.

Saori whispered in her heart.

Yin Dao put away his longbow, his expression couldn't distinguish between happiness and anger.

"Sorry, I'm not very good at using a bow."

"...It's okay." Saori coughed a few times, and couldn't help but look up at him, and then at him again, "How about I teach you how to set a trap today?"

Yin Dao seemed to bend the corner of his mouth: "Very good."

Sha Zhi took him to the place where the trap was laid. The winter snow covered the dead branches and fallen leaves. She chose the only way for the deer in the mountains to find water. In the past few years, it always worked, but this year it suffered from Waterloo.

The sunny valley was empty and lonely, and the sun reflected on the snow, reflecting a dazzling white light.

When Saori felt the vibration of the ground, her first reaction was to push the Yin knife to the side, and the ground under her feet cracked in the next instant, and the monster lurking in the ground burst out with a deafening sound, opening the huge mouth of the abyss, The black miasma surged in.

The overwhelming miasma engulfed the forest in an instant, like dark clouds falling to the ground.

"...Hand over the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls—!!"

The monster twisted its ugly, huge head. It clearly had a human-shaped face, but the cracked mouth was full of dense inverted teeth, round and round, until deep in the throat, which looked like a hole in the mouth. To the abyss of hell.

"It's so loud, you illiterate people who repeat lines!" Saori stabbed the monster without hurting its vitals. The monster hid too quickly, and its body protruding from the ground was as flexible as a snake, twisting and turning. Barely brushed past her blade.

She took the opportunity to put the pale knife on the horse's back, and cut off the rope tied to the tree with one knife: "Go!"

The painful horse neighed, raised its front hooves, and galloped like crazy after landing.

"Don't try to run—!"

The human-faced monster opened its mouth and spit out billowing miasma. Saori jumped onto the tree trunk and kicked it with force, and directly slashed at the opponent's mouth with a knife.

There was the sound of bones cracking and teeth shattering, the loud bang of falling to the ground, and the splashed blood of the monster fell on her face, which was so hot that it almost smoked, and the sound of oil sizzling could almost be heard when it fell into the pot.

Saori's expression remained the same, she stepped on the monster's head, pointed the knife down, and stabbed down suddenly, splitting the flesh and bones, and the blade went straight through the mouth that could only spit miasma, nailing it in place .

The painful monster screamed, and its snake-like body rolled violently, slapping the ground continuously, throwing up countless pieces of snow and gravel.

"Be honest." Saori turned the handle of the knife.

The monster lying on the ground suddenly laughed: "...hahahahaha...hahahahahaha..."

The voice was mixed with flesh and blood, and while it was giggling with that human-like face, it made strange vibrations from its throat.

An ominous premonition ran up the back along with the chill, Saori turned her gaze, and another head buried under the ground suddenly burst out through the snow, chasing the direction of Yindao's departure and opened a huge mouth full of sharp teeth.

The brain is blank, the head of the monster is extremely fast, and although the horse is running wildly, the distance between death and death is constantly shortening. Seeing that the huge mouth of the abyss is about to swallow the knife and the horse together, he As if he had a premonition of something, he suddenly turned around——

With a click, like the loud noise of tree trunks breaking and rocks shattering, the door of the city rumbled down, and the wind of death blew the long-haired robe, and at the moment when it was about to wrap around his body, a force suddenly pushed him away. out.

The feeling of weightlessness, the pause of time, the roar of the snow, the dazzling white sun in the sky, Saori arrived dangerously at the last moment, sliced ​​open the face of the monster, hot blood swirled out with the blade, and the horse He groaned and fell to the ground, and the icy snow rushed to his face like sea water.

"...Hey, it seems a bit, it's bad." Wet blood overflowed from between the fingers, Saori stuck the knife in the snow, covered her abdomen with her hands, and her vision began to dim and tilt.

Then she heard a thump—the world was completely dark.

……

……

Saori felt as if she had passed out.

Consciousness was ups and downs, sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, as if she had returned to the house, she could smell the ashes of the charcoal fire in the fireplace.

An extremely disgusting feeling surrounded the front and back of the house, and she vaguely heard someone talking, the voice was low, cold, tinged with a slight mockery, as if laughing, but it sounded a little bit different. Very familiar feeling.

"...Do you want to take this opportunity to snatch the Jade of the Four Souls?"

Who are the people outside talking to...to what?

"……Unfortunately……"

"That's my thing."

The sound of the wind suddenly sounded like a torrential rain hitting the ridge of the roof, and the ground cracked and trembled. Countless monsters wailed or roared, and the chaotic and harsh sounds frantically rushed to the same place. Then, the hurricane stopped suddenly, and all the sounds It was calm for a moment, so quiet that it was almost eerie.

...It should be hallucinations caused by excessive blood loss.

Saori was thinking in a daze, after an unknown amount of time, the wooden door slid open, and the chill of the night flooded into the room for a short time, as if someone had walked in.

Her eyelids were glued together by a heavy sense of fatigue, she opened a gap slightly, in the dark room, the firelight in the fireplace was inlaid with a gold border, the approaching figure covered the light, and her body carried the coldness of the outside.

"……are you awake."

The pain sensation has not yet recovered, and the vague consciousness can't distinguish whether it is reality or a dream. Saori raised her eyes, and the familiar but unfamiliar face of Yindao was reflected in the briefly clear vision.

……

It turned out to be fine.

Sitting next to her in good condition, he looked unscathed, not even a hair missing.

She's still pretty good.

The person watching her seemed to frown slightly, Saori stretched out her hand, waving her fingers in the air a few times, and finally grabbed the soft fabric that seemed to be the placket.

……

...It might be a dream anyway.

Fingers stuck in the warm soft fabric, Saori grabbed the other's clothes, raised her face and kissed him dazedly.

The author has something to say:

Combat power is S+, but defense and life are C-
