It's Auntie Benmaru!

#54

Across the corridor, Tianqing took Natsume Takashi to the relatively small Japanese room in Honmaru for receiving guests.

Candlestick Kiri quickly helped to serve suitable tea and snacks, and the news of Natsume's sudden visit to Honmaru spread in Honmaru——

Speaking of which, at first no one wanted to tell Onikiri, but it turned out that Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who claimed to be Onikiri's close friend, went to the back mountain to tell Onikiri who was exercising the news.

At first, Onikiri couldn't remember who this Natsume was, but when he heard Tsurumaru say "Genki's friend, a man", he put down the big stone for exercise, left Tsurumaru in a hurry and went back.

After all, Onikiri always feels that Yuanhui's good friends are the kind who don't know what's good and what's wrong.

Intuitively, he felt that he needed to be there to watch.

But when he arrived and saw Natsume's gentle aura, he shut up.

It seems that he is really far from Yuanhui, he is the kind of person who only realized Yuanhui after doing bad things in his previous life.

(Yuanhui:?)

only……

Onikiri noticed Tianqing's cute and cute look towards Natsume. Although he agreed with Natsume that he was a good person, his mood suddenly changed. His face darkened, and when he folded his hands, he let out a murderous look. aura.

This made Tianqing and Natsume in the room feel it sensitively—after all, both of them are people with abundant spiritual power, so they naturally felt the resentment of Onikiri, which was almost miasma. be keen...

Feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt, the little hand that had originally handed it out to give Natsume a snack took it back.

Lower back onto your knees with the pressure low.

But Natsume didn't know why, and only thought that Onikiri was one of Tianqing's guards, so he invited him in with a smile: "This... is Miss Tianqing's guard, Mr. Youkai? Shall we invite him in to listen together? "

"Ah, this..." Tianqing blinked, and didn't know how to explain Onikiri's identity, he had just come up inexplicably: "I'm not a monster guard, but I'd rather obey than be respectful."

Then, she actually took off her shoes, walked to Tianqing's side with a very serious expression, and sat down solemnly.

After all, Onigiri was taller and slightly stronger than Natsume. When he deliberately exuded that sense of oppression, he really looked like the most respected samurai in the Edo period, which made Natsume inexplicably serious.

Tianqing had no choice but to pinch Onikiri's hand behind her back, telling him to show some respect.

"What's wrong?" Guiqie glanced at her sideways, with a confident look.

"..." Tianqing felt a little helpless, for Onikiri who suddenly started to compete with Natsume, she had no choice but to lose: "Well, I can't hide this matter from you anyway..."

After finishing speaking, she opened the letter Natsume brought with her spiritual power, and the font written by Yuanhui appeared inside, revealing lines of vigorous and powerful fonts.

Tian Qing watched from the side, her face becoming more serious.

And Onikiri saw Tianqing's brows drawn closer to the center of his eyebrows, glanced from the side, and roughly figured out what was going on.

"It's about your family."

"Can you understand human writing?"

"I have followed the former master to learn various etiquette and cultural matters."

Onikiri's tone made everything ordinary, but Tianqing was still surprised—among her many monster shikigami, there are not a few who know how to be romantic. Understand a few human characters.

After all, the difference between monster characters and human characters is too far. Originally, human characters will vary according to different regions. On the contrary, monster characters are the mainstream language recognized by monsters, so there are really not many monsters who can learn human characters—— Not an easy task.

But Onikiri actually said that he could understand, which surprised Tianqing quite a bit.

After knowing it, Tianqing's impression of Onikiri suddenly changed from a samurai idiot who only knew how to fight to a decathlon all-around valet who goes out at home, and his image became taller.

She stared blankly at Onikiri, making him a little embarrassed: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, but you surprised me quite a bit. I almost forgot the content of the letter."

"...I'll read it for you." It happened to check the content of Yuanhui's letter to her - Onikiri frowned and took the paper in her hand, and after reading a few sentences, Onikiri's expression became more and more serious.

... what does this mean? ? ?

He actually said that it was because there was a problem with Shiratori's house in the real world, which caused serious monster disturbances, so Natsume was entrusted to live in Honmaru temporarily?

Onikiri raised his head, and immediately wanted to say something that he disagreed with.

Tianqing also realized that Onikiri was not very satisfied with the letter written by Yuanhui, and she didn't realize where Onikiri was angry, so she just took back the text in Onikiri's hand, and said to Natsume with a helpless smile: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I agree with this matter, the place in Honmaru is big and comfortable, if the ghosts in this world will harass Mr. Natsume, then it is indeed the most reasonable to put you here with me."

"...that's unreasonable." Onikiri next to him interjected, frowning.

Tianqing twitched the corner of her mouth, and had no choice but to cover Onikiri's unforgiving mouth with her hand, and apologized to Natsume repeatedly: "Sorry, this is not my shikigami, so he is usually rude."

Natsume also had no choice but to smile helplessly: "No, I also understand that this request is quite abrupt, and I myself don't want to disturb you suddenly, and you are not very familiar with Miss Tianqing...but I know, if I don't agree to Hui's Ask, and he'll be bothered for me."

"Hui has been taking care of me since we met. He is actually a very warm-hearted and kind person."

"Although you often say that Hui met me because he was lucky, the truth should be the other way around."

"I've always wanted to thank him...so in this matter, in order not to trouble Hui, I chose to nag you, because Hui is really important to me..."

Having said that, Natsume bent down and saluted Tianqing.

"I will trouble you, Miss Tianqing."

Tianqing's eyes were dazed, and seeing Natsume's appearance, she shook her head hurriedly: "No, no, this is really not such a troublesome thing..." She went to help Natsume up: "How long are you going to stay here? That's fine too."

"Mr. Natsume, don't worry about this matter. I'll take you around Honmaru right now, okay? I'll let everyone arrange a room for you."

She arranged with a smile, while Natsume was startled, and nodded gratefully.

"Thank you."

……

Forcibly leaving Onikiri in the hall to clean the room and the tableware and refreshments they used, Tenharu personally took Natsume around the facility in Honmaru.

At the beginning, Natsume was amazed to see the scene of the symbiosis of swords and monsters in Honmaru. After all, although he sucked monsters in his life-he had never seen monsters appearing in front of him like Hyakki Yaxing, and lived as if nothing had happened.

"This child is called Izu Shinten. She is very shy of strangers, but she also likes to interact with people... Before she saw Kuritaguchi's children playing by the water and almost fell into the fish pond, she would immediately rush to rescue them. "

"The Mao prostitute over there is in labor reform...Mr. Natsume, you must not be seduced by Mao prostitute. Although her spiritual power has been weakened by me now, she will still make the whole arm of the seduced man grow like a gorilla hair!"

"That's right, those two are rain girls. One of them was brought back by me in Heian town in the Edo period. I don't have a bad nature. I knew that when I was unconscious, I was used by ghosts to take away many children. So far I'll cry with self-reproach."

"By the way, have you seen the tree in our Honmaru? That tree is actually a human face tree... He was eroded by the miasma before, and his soul was overwhelmed and almost lost his soul, but I still kept him back, although I can't talk to others yet, but I seem to be quite happy staying in Honmaru."

She introduced to Natsume the suspicious-looking monsters in Honmaru one by one, and Natsume listened very carefully, and stopped in front of the fish pond to see the kappa and mermaid emerging from the fish pond .

The corner of his mouth suddenly evoked a very gentle smile.

"Miss Tianqing and Hui are really two completely different people."

Tian Qing was startled: "Although this sentence is correct, why?"

"Because I've never seen that person tell me about monsters in such a happy manner." Xia Mu lowered her eyebrows, and her short brown hair swayed gently in the wind: "That person has always hated monsters."

When Tianqing thought of this, her heart skipped a beat.

Ah yes...Because Yuanhui asked her to arrange Shikigami to take care of Natsume before, and seeing how he accepted it, she also tacitly agreed that Natsume should be a person who likes monsters.

She thinks that Natsume is not the kind of person who hates monsters like Yuanhui, so she said so much to him unprepared.

It's just that Natsume and Yuanhui have such a good relationship, could it be that he also hates monsters?

The key is that Natsume has always been harassed by monsters...

She suddenly felt guilty: "Mr. Natsume, do you actually... hate monsters too?"

Natsume looked at Tianqing's cautious look, his clear brown eyes did not waver at all, he just smiled and shook his head, then turned around and looked at the vast field of Honmaru with an extremely gentle expression.

"No, I am different from Hui... Although I am often teased by monsters, I still feel that most monsters are cute and pure." Natsume lowered her eyes halfway: "I don't think we can divide them by type , even if we are all human beings, there are many unkind people among them... isn't it?"

He said the last sentence very lightly, but Tianqing was inexplicably able to understand Natsume's meaning.

She herself was the one treated in the cruelest way by her human family.

"It's better to say that monsters are my companions."

"It's better to say that monsters are more worthy of my trust."

Tianqing and Natsume said almost in unison, then looked at each other stupidly, and laughed helplessly.

"I understand Mr. Natsume."

"I also understand Miss Tianqing."

Tianqing laughed and looked at Natsume: "Then from now on, Mr. Natsume will be my friend too, is that okay? I am your companion who likes monsters."

"Of course, I'm very happy."

……

#55

Natsume lived in Honmaru for a week.

But apart from the first day and every meal time, Tianqing actually didn’t have time to accompany Natsume—she spent almost every day in the dormitory dealing with the Honmaru affairs that Foxunosuke asked her to handle. After a week like this, she finally She was willing to come out of the house and announce one more thing.

"...Everyone, next, I'm going back to the Edo period."

She deliberately used the word "go back". Standing by the table, her expression was a little dignified that she didn't usually have. It was no longer the look of being able to do everything with ease, which naturally made the swordsmen see the clue.

"...Admiral, what are you planning to do in the Edo period?"

At this time, Atsuto Shiro, who was about to serve Tianqing, blinked his eyes and asked.

Natsume, who was sitting not far from Tianqing, also raised her eyes, and together with the young little tengu who already knew what her master was thinking, quietly waited for her to speak.

Tianqing, dressed in elegant feathers, stood in the center of the hall, watching the two rows of tall and short Token Fusangshin sitting neatly—they were different from the monsters who had signed a soul contract with her, were they not Everyone knows her past memories, so they don't know her thoughts on many things.

So in the short six months she lived in Honmaru, they learned to look for clues from the monster's face to understand Tianqing's mood at the moment.

Seeing Shiranui, Yukidouji and other monsters next to him drooping their eyes and not speaking, even Kuritaguchi's daggers also sensed that "going back" this time was different from Tianqing's previous decision.

Not long after the five tigers returned, they couldn't help moistening their eyes: "Master...is he going to do something dangerous?"

In the first phase, he raised his hand and touched his younger brother's head, and looked at Tianqing with mature and worried eyes.

She folded her hands on her thighs, her posture was very dignified and elegant, and she didn't think of how to explain it for a long time.

"Can't you take us back with you this time? General."

Yao Yan also frowned, staring straight at Tianqing with her purple eyes.

She saw the worried eyes of the swordsmen who didn't dare to trouble her. She felt a sore nose and shook her head.

"Everyone don't need to be so serious... I just went back to my original era and dealt with a little monster riot. It's just that I consider that this matter is dangerous and can't be completed in a short time, so I want to tell everyone solemnly. In the next month, I don't think I will come back to Honmaru."

She said "one month" in one breath, a period of time that she has never left since she took office, which naturally made many swords gasp.

Some of them even looked at Honosuke, the agent of the Shizhi government in Honmaru, and they wanted to know, did Honosuke know about the fact that the god judge had left Honmaru for such a long time?

Feeling the doubtful eyes of the swordsmen looking at him, Foxnosuke looked back, and then looked at the slim girl in front of him.

It has known her for half a year since it broke into her room covered in rain.

She has grown from the little girl with nothing back then to the reliable look she is now—— Foxosuke knew that although the mansion made Tianqing feel painful and lonely, because she escaped, one day, she had to... go back.

Foxnosuke then kicked with his hind feet, jumped onto the table nimbly, and raised his furry head.

"It's okay, you can go, God judge."

There was a trusting smile on Foxosuke's face, and Tianqing's face was reflected in her dark eyes, she seemed to feel a little bit surprised.

After all, Honosuke just heard about the decision to leave for a month-she had been discussing with it for half a month.

She looked at Foxnosuke and felt... Sure enough, she and Foxnosuke had experienced a lot of things.

She squatted down with her eyes downcast, stroked Fox's head, and smiled helplessly at the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you," she said in a low voice, "you understand, after all, this is my own family's business, and I can't handle it, and I can't leave it to my friends in this world to help me."

The Swordsmen listened beside them, seeing that this was the most difficult decision the God Judge had ever made, so they couldn't help but remain silent.

"However, I've learned to behave myself," she added with downcast eyes, "I know that everyone will be worried if I don't bring my attendants. In fact, I plan to find the traces of the static naginata along the way, so this time... I will Go forward with Baishan Jiguang."

Baishan Yoshimitsu got up from the row and nodded, indicating that he understood what Tianqing meant.

She ticked the corner of her mouth and smiled at everyone gently: "Then it's decided like this. During my absence, we all have to work hard."

"Mr. Natsume, please take care of everyone first."

"Understood, be careful on the road."

……

After solemnly notifying Touken of her decision, Tenharu set off from Honmaru with Hakuyama Yoshimitsu and Onikiri the next morning.

With the assistance of Hakuyama Yoshimitsu, who is like an emissary of the government at the same time, the time travel device was activated normally. After the glare disappeared, they appeared again in front of the Daidaiji family in Heian Town in the Edo period.

The other party had been waiting for them for a long time, and upon receiving her news, the door of the four-person high door was opened from left to right, and there were still domestic servants in neat and tidy kimonos inside. Tianqing walked in with Onikiri and Hakuyama Yoshimitsu, and no one was required to lead the way this time. No, she went directly to the room where Zhishi met the guests.

Of course, Yuan Hui also sat on the side, seeing Tianqing coming in with a serious face, he didn't tease him casually like before, but said very seriously: "You helped me take care of Natsume this week, I really trouble you. "

"It's all right, but Mr. Natsume seemed a little disturbed, so in order to make him feel more comfortable, I arranged some work for him as a god judge."

"You did a good job, that guy is just too gentle and not used to troubling others."

Yuanhui said this, looked at Tianqing, and suddenly couldn't chat freely like before.

After all, they still need to get to the point after they know the pleasantries and the brief account of the recent situation.

Zhiyo also sensitively sensed that Yuanhui and Tianqing were not in the mood of reminiscing about the old days, so he took a deep breath and began to speak by himself.

"I believe Miss Tianqing, you have already heard the little tengu tell you... the actual situation."

"Well, what you're talking about is that many adult humans have disappeared from the hills near Shiratori's house, and suspicious 'spell' traces were found at the scene."

Tianqing sat straight on the arranged cushion, and when she mentioned this lightly, even Onikiri behind her was surprised for a moment.

——Isn’t it just a youkai riot?He thought it was the Shiratori family who did something bad for youkai, but he didn't expect it to be humans.

Why is there a new version?

"... Very good, it seems that the tengu has passed the matter to you very well."

Yuan Hui put his hands on his knees, noticed Onikiri's expression behind him, and simply explained to him directly.

"I didn't write it in the letter on purpose. After all, if Natsume knew that the victims were all humans with spiritual power, it would make him very uneasy, and he would worry about me and this guy who are dealing with the incident."

After Yuanhui said this, Onikiri finally understood, and then looked at Tianqing thoughtfully.

She could have explained it to him earlier - it turned out to be a vicious incident involving spells, no wonder she was frowning all week.

Tianqing didn't answer, Yuanhui and Zhishi explained the details of the investigation.

"During this period, I also asked my shikigami to check, and the onmyoji living nearby, the information I collected was very scattered..." Yuan Hui said as he dug out a wooden box from his pocket. The wooden box is covered with seal symbols in black and white characters, which is not auspicious at first glance.

He got up and brought the things to Tianqing.

"But at least I can be sure that the things in this box should not be things that appear in ordinary villages."

He placed the wooden box on the floor of Daodaosi's house with one hand, and Tianqing took a look at the outer box, and then tore apart the seals one by one, revealing the contents inside——

At first glance, it looked like a piece of calligraphy paper with only one corner left, but the words on it were written with blood.

Taro Tamura...

Squinting her eyes, she confirmed that the slightly melted text on it was a male name.

"You can pick up this piece of paper and have a look."

Yuanhui reminded from the side, while Onikiri watched from behind, because he was worried that the things in the box would be dangerous to Tianqing, he deliberately walked up to her from behind: "If something goes wrong, I'll help you first... "

"No need." Tianqing shook her head, then lowered her head and picked up the yellowed calligraphy paper from the box: "I know what Mr. Hui wants to say, this piece of paper is cursed, and the remaining curse power on the paper... …even enough to be distilled.”

"It is conceivable that this small corner of paper comes from a complete piece of paper, even a book... the whole book is a complete cursed object."

"I have heard of cursed objects in Shiratori's house, and I have secretly studied them, and I have touched many cursed objects... This cursed object is definitely not an ordinary item."

She explained seriously, Yuan Hui was startled, and then smiled helplessly: "If I had known that you could even appraise spells, I wouldn't have had to desperately seek help from a trustworthy spellcaster a few days ago... But it's okay, If you can see it, that's fine."

"Anyway, as you can see, it is impossible for a cursed item of this level to be abandoned at the 'scene of the incident' at will."

"The scene?"

"Yes..." Yuan Hui said here, his blue eyes slightly rounded, the seriousness and concentration written in it made Tianqing and Zhishi couldn't help holding their breath, until Yuan Hui explained what he had investigated: "'Taro Tamura' written on that piece of paper..."

"It just happened to be one of the farmers who disappeared recently, with the ability of yin and yang... According to his wife, he not only disappeared but... turned into a strange monster in front of his wife, and then rushed into the white bird The hilltop of home disappeared."

"That old lady, so far it is difficult to be sure whether what she has seen is a dream or reality."

"But I'm sure..."

"That's the truth."

Yuanhui told the cruel facts in a cold tone, imagining the bad news that happened near his hometown, Tianqing's heart sank instantly.

……

...

in the dark.

'Need more mana...'

'Need more mana, as long as I can get that mantra fully alive...'

'I can be counted as the successor of that lord...'

'Need more...more...'

In the darkness, a hoarse voice came from the end. Wearing a thin robe, Tianqing stood at the foot of the space. She could see a little muddy substance floating everywhere in this dark space. She raised her hand to touch...

Those turbid substances turned into oil-like substances, adhering to her hands, and dyed her hands black, which couldn't be rubbed off no matter how much she rubbed.

Tianqing anxiously wiped her hands on her body, but she didn't know if it was because she was a little anxious in the space. The more she wiped, the more dirt she rubbed. Much noise.

'It hurts...it hurts. '

'Achievement, achievement, achievement...'

'Painful life...'

'I need more mana...'

'Spell power spell power spell power spell power...'

'Kamo-sama, Kamo-sama, Kamo-sama...! '

"The book of truth, letters, spells, spells, human sacrifices, stupid chess pieces..."

'The magic power...'

The owner of the hoarse voice was repeating similar words, and she could no longer hear the following sentences clearly. It felt like a hungry ghost with a mouth full of mud talking, and because she didn't know the purpose, it was even more disturbing.

She wished she could wipe off the black mud on her hands and leave this dream immediately, but the voice of the hunched figure in the distance suddenly stopped, and even the sound of breathing stopped, replaced by the sound of extraordinarily rapid footsteps.

'I feel the energy, I feel a huge energy, great material...'

'Spell power, spell power, spell power——! '

Tianqing intuitively felt that the other person was talking about herself, she took a step back in panic, but the black shadow seemed to have come right in front of her.

She was clearly in the dark place, but she saw the strange appearance of the other party strangely.

I saw a scar that divided the center of the scalp in two on the other's sparse black hair. The man tilted his head and raised his head, revealing two cloudy eyes like dead fish. purple black...

Looking at her, he giggled unexpectedly.

'Sure enough, it's a big prey. '

'Locked on you—'

She seemed to hear the wet and greasy sound of someone licking her lips with a tongue. The next second, a sense of weightlessness came, and the place she was standing under suddenly turned into liquid, and her body "plopped" into the turbid and heavy water. in the water.

Those things like oil and rare earth poured into her skirt, quickly covered her neck, and were about to pour into her mouth, depriving her of the chance to call for help...

save……

save……

……

...

"help me!"

A tingling sensation came from her arm, causing Tianqing to open her eyes immediately. She got up and looked at her wrist, and saw the little snake biting her wrist let go, and then grinned at her on the ground.

It also took a few seconds for her to understand what happened just now: "Thank you, Yamata no Orochi."

"You fell into this dream. It should be because your body automatically absorbed part of the spell power that came into contact with the spell object today, but the muddy spell power is different from the miasma you usually absorb. It is attached to the strong obsession of the former master..."

Yamata no Orochi's voice came from the mouth of the incarnation of the little snake, and then dissipated little by little during the speech.

'You are undoubtedly being targeted, be careful in every way...'

The lingering rhyme of the voice gradually merged with the cool night air. Tianqing looked at the dark room, at the two small wounds on her wrist that the two Yamata no Orochi had made on her hand in desperation to save her...

The feeling of being pulled into the abyss by the black mud just now was too real, and even now, she felt a little confused - she didn't know whether the black substance attached to her hands had been cleaned or not.

It was impossible for her to be in the mood to go back to sleep, so she had to put on a haori and pushed the door open a little to let the moonlight leak into the room.

The dream just now was really terrible.

The emotion is also very real, if Yamata no Orochi came a little later, she might have already...

Tianqing pulled her skirts together, and her long black hair spread out on the floor. She curled herself into a ball, wishing to knead her weak emotions into small balls that no one could find, and hide them forever. Deep down.

She doesn't want to be known by anyone.

I don't want to be known, even if she regains her current appearance, has a Honmaru and trustworthy friends and shikigami, she still dare not face the surname above her name.

She actually didn't want to care about everything that happened in Bainiao Mountain.

Yamata no Orochi didn't finish her sentence just now—but she knew that the reason why the remnants of the mantra affected her but not Yuanhui was because she was already emotionally unstable.

She doesn't want to be discovered by anyone.

Don't want to be seen by anyone.

In fact, I really wanted to hide myself——

"What are you doing sitting here? You'll catch a cold."

But at this moment, a helpless voice sounded from above her head.

It was a deep and hoarse voice that she was not familiar with. She foolishly held her knees and raised her head. Looking at the handsome warrior monster in front of her with a pair of clear eyes, she suddenly lost her voice.

I saw him in white clothes standing against the moonlight, the dim moonlight only traced his outline in front of him, Tianqing looked at his figure, and suddenly, his chest felt sore.

She had no choice but to raise her hand tremblingly, and then held Onikichi's fingers that were much warmer than hers.

The samurai monster also seemed to be startled by Tianqing's sudden touch - but the next second, what made him feel even more nervous was her cold sweaty palm, the cold body temperature made her look so different from usual , So Onikiri plopped and knelt down in front of Tianqing on one knee.

He raised his hand unceremoniously to check the temperature of her cheeks and neck, and then ignored her action of pulling his fingers, went back to her room domineeringly, moved her quilt out and lifted her thin body wrapped inside.

And all these actions were not rejected by her in the slightest, Onikiri felt a little strange.

"you……"

"Onikiri, hug me."

She interrupted him suddenly, and stretched out two slender hands from under the quilt.

The samurai man with purple blue hair was taken aback by her request. He was going to refuse, but when he saw the moist light flickering in her eye sockets, he was thrown into a mess.

How could he hug her suddenly?It was he who took the initiative to hold her in his arms.

He didn't move for a long time, and his first reaction was even some excuses: "What's wrong with you? How could I suddenly..."

"Onikiri!" She interrupted him willfully, seeming a little angry, looking at Onikiri with a pretty face, as if she wanted to scold him for being so useless at a critical moment, but the feeling of grievance still stepped forward first, making more Tears welled up in my eyes: "You... you... woo..."

Then, she threw herself into Onikir's arms, and buried her face deeply in Onikiri's chest.

He could feel her whole body against his without reservation, and her thin shoulders were trembling, which made him finally understand how she felt at the moment.

His tense body finally relaxed, and in turn, he took her hands off his body, tucked her in the quilt again, and hugged her tightly even the quilt.

"...you don't need to be afraid."

"I made a promise with you."

He said lightly, and the scorching breath hit Tianqing's head, while she rested her head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat—shrunk, but did not respond.

Now she thought, how could she know to be afraid.

It seems that since Onikiri appeared, she only wanted to act like a baby to him, and she didn't even remember what she was worried about.

She really doesn't want to be discovered by anyone, but it seems that Onikiri is not anyone to her.

Shiratori's family always thought she was a monster and a monster, but Yuanhui thought she was human.

Only Onikiri thinks she is her...

The moonlight sprinkled on Tianqing and Onikiri's bodies, she closed her eyes in his arms, and finally, the restlessness dissipated little by little.

……

After two days of rest at Daodaoji's house, they sorted out all kinds of information, and on the third day, they set off for Binyi Town, where Shiratori's house is located, through the gap between the demon world.

They chose to take the route between the demon world, not because the road between the demon world is safer than ordinary roads, but because Tianqing and Yuanhui think it is necessary to collect information from the direction of monsters to understand "becoming a monster" Have you ever witnessed such a strange event among monsters?

"If you said it was '咻', and the whole head became as scary as the big head...someone in our Youkai Town has indeed witnessed it."

"Are you talking about the previous evil incident? We are afraid to go near Minyi Town. There was an obscurity car that saw the monster appearing before, and it was too scared to take us back and forth between the gap and hell!"

"The main reason is that the miasma in this world is too heavy. We are not high-level monsters, and those who get close are fools."

In the tavern between the demon world, Catwoman and Shoumo talked openly about the situation of Binyicho to Tianqing, Onikiri and Hakuyama Yoshimitsu, while the rest of the monsters sitting in the tavern heard about Binyicho, and some took the initiative come closer...

"Are you talking about Binyi Town? I've also heard some things..."

"Okay, okay, tell me one by one, don't scare my Lord Chao!"

At this time, when a kappa was about to approach Tianqing, before Onikiri could make a move, Kaguya Hime, who was sitting on the bamboo, flew over angrily and stopped between Tianqing and the youkai and Tenqing.

She said the name "Master Chao", and the monsters in the tavern were quiet for a second, and then exploded——

"Is this Lord Onmyoji in front of you the Lord Chao who solved many troubles for us a while ago?!"

"Ah! I didn't have time to deliver the letter to Kaguya Hime before, but I also have something to ask Master Chao for help..."

"It turns out that this is the onmyoji who will help everyone regardless of the commission..."

The compliments of "Onmyoji with Buddha Heart" fell on Tianqing's head one after another, and Kaguya Ji, who was in charge of entrusting the letter, heard that her small breasts were getting taller and taller, as if she was the one who praised her, and Tianqing smiled helplessly. Laughing, he raised his hand again to stop everyone.

"Let's put aside what everyone entrusted for now. I will listen to it after the Binyi Town incident is dealt with. It's just... I want to know more information about Binyi Town. Which of you lived near there?"

"Yes, go and ask Baibaiye, Baibaiye originally lived in Binyi Town, and he has been back for a while."

I don't know who said that suddenly, and then pulled the other monsters away, so that Tianqing could catch a glimpse of the short old man with a cane sitting in the corner of the hotel.

"... Bai Baiye!"
