On the degree of compatibility between Guardian Egg and Yokohama

After treating the wound on the ghost spider, Kikyo took him to a cave to recuperate, but did not leave him at home.

Kikyo spread the hay on the ground and put the man on it.Because of the serious injury, he has been in a state of unconsciousness.

"If he doesn't have a fever, he should wake up tomorrow." Kikyo gambled on the hole, turned to look at Suzuki Aoi, "You seem to be very hostile to him."

"Is it someone you know?"

Suzuki Aoi was not surprised that Kikyo found this out, she shook her head slightly, "I haven't seen it, but...he is not a good person."

After hearing Suzuki Aoi's words, Kikyo walked to her side, "I know."

She knew that the people in the cave were not good people. This was the intuition of spiritual practitioners. The aura on the ghost spider was chaotic and evil.So she didn't intend to take the man back to the village, but put him in this cave.but...

"He's incapacitated." Incapacitated makes it impossible to do evil.It was also because of this, that man would definitely die if he left it alone.

Suzuki Aoi was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes and looked at Kikyo, "You will save whoever faints in front of you." Just like her, and like a ghost spider.

Kikyo didn't answer right away.

"I don't know." She said, "If I see a person hurting others to satisfy his own selfish desires, and regard human life as nothing, I will not save him."

Immediately, she focused her eyes on the hole blocked by the stone, as if looking through it at the man lying inside, "But I don't know his past, so he is just a person in need of help in front of me. "

Even if the other party is heinous, she has the ability to make the other party unable to do evil again in this life.

After that, the two returned to the cabin in silence.

Seeing Kikyo who was preparing the wound medicine for tomorrow, Suzuki Aoi suddenly said, "Let me deal with that man's wound."

"In return for taking me in for so long."

Kikyo paused for a moment before asking, "Are you planning to leave?"

"Yeah." Suzuki Aoi didn't deny it, "I'll leave when that man's wound heals." Before that, she will solve the hidden danger of ghost spiders from the root.

"Okay, if this is what you want." Looking away, Kikyo continued to grind the herbs.She believed that Suzuki Aoi would not take action against that man - even if the man was not a good person.

Then, she asked: "After leaving, are you looking for pieces of the jade of the four souls?"

Suzuki Aoi shook her head, "It's a waste of time." She has stayed in this village long enough, and it is impractical to collect pieces of the Four Soul Jade piece by piece.

Although she doesn't know whether the time flow in this world is the same as her original world, but...she hopes to go back quickly—to become stronger quickly, and then reawaken Mitsuba.

She needs to find something that can make the body stronger than the jade of the four souls.

......

The next day

Suzuki Aoi brought the medicine and food prepared by Kikyo to yesterday's cave.

The stone at the entrance was removed, and daylight shone into the cave.The ghost spider lying on the dry grass had regained consciousness, its only eye was stung by the sunlight, and it narrowed slightly.

But only for a moment, the stone was blocked by someone again at the entrance of the cave, blocking more than half of the sunlight.Instead, the light from the oil lamp in the hands of the visitor was not dazzling.The flickering candles will reflect the figures of future people on the stone walls of the cave.

The ghost spider watched the people who had walked in front of him.His whole body was tightly wrapped, and his face was covered by a hood, making it impossible to guess his gender for a while.

Aoi Suzuki put the bamboo basket containing the wound medicine and food aside, scooped up the ointment with a flat wooden stick and applied it to the ghost spider's wound.

"Don't touch me." As a robber who did all kinds of evil, the ghost spider couldn't accept the fact that he was completely disabled.

But Suzuki Aoi ignored the ghost spider's words and just continued to move silently.

No longer staring at Suzuki Aoi's completely covered face, Ghost Spider closed his eyes and sniffed carefully, but only smelled the fragrance of medicinal herbs.Then he opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on the hands that were applying medicine for him.

The fingers are white and slender, and there is a thin layer of calluses on the tiger's mouth.

A hint of interest flashed in Ghost Spider's eyes, as if he wasn't worried about his current situation at all, he said in an extremely hoarse voice, "You are a woman, right?"

Hearing this, Suzuki Aoi's movements froze slightly, and her brows frowned slightly.But she didn't pay attention to the meaning of the ghost spider, and continued to apply the medicine without saying a word.

Suzuki Aoi wanted to ignore the ghost spider, but this man didn't want her to.A hoarse and piercing voice sounded intermittently in the cave, and he did not intend to hide all the dark thoughts in his heart, that is, he is now controlled by others and has no power to resist.

Suzuki Aoi didn't give any reaction, she seemed to feel that the other party was too noisy, so she directly cast a curse.

The ghost spider was surprised to find that he couldn't make a sound, and then realized that the woman in front of him was not an ordinary person, but a witch or a magician.

However, his harassment didn't stop because he couldn't speak, and instead stared at her with his only remaining one eye.

"If you don't want to lose the remaining eye, then stop looking at me like that." Ghost Spider heard her voice as he wished, and his eyes narrowed a lot.

After treating the man's wounds, Suzuki Aoi stood up and did not intend to feed him the food herself - the medicine just now was the limit of what she could bear.

After thinking for a moment, Suzuki Aoi pulled out the paper shikigami that had not been used for a long time from her sleeve.Although Shikigami is not competent for more delicate things like feeding medicine, there is no problem in entrusting the mechanical action of feeding to Shikigami.

After giving Shikigami an order, Suzuki Aoi walked out of the cave and carefully observed the surrounding environment—there was no ghost around, so the ghost spider would not sell itself to the monster.

Naraku will not appear.

But just to be on the safe side, Suzuki Aoi still left a temporary barrier around, enough to prevent some weak monsters from entering the cave.

If the ghost spider couldn't turn into Naraku, then it would be a punishment if he could only lie in this cave for the rest of his life, unable to move and rely on others for his survival.

夜晚

A spider monster with six eyes came out of this cave smelling of decay.The cave contains his favorite food - the completely blackened souls of humans.

It wanted to push the stone away into the hole, but it was blocked by the barrier that suddenly appeared, and it couldn't get close at all.

Then, a sharp arrow pierced its head.

When it was about to disappear, it saw a human in a veiled hat, holding a bow and arrow in her hand.

Confirming that the monster was dead, Suzuki Aoi put away her bow and arrow, and walked towards the cabin.

The next day

After breakfast, Aoi Suzuki was about to bid farewell to Kikyo and Maple.

"Although I already knew that there would be such a day..." Kikyo smiled at her, "I hope to see you again."

"Yes." Suzuki Aoi looked up at the endless blue sky, and the breeze blew up the white gauze on the veil, "I will see you again." At least before leaving this world, she will bid farewell to Kikyo.

"About the ghost spider..." Suzuki Aoi set her eyes on Kikyo again, "A brother and sister are seeking revenge on him."

"The bandits headed by the ghost spider once robbed their village. Their mother was captured by these bandits and was brutally killed soon after."

Pausing for a moment, meeting Kikyo's eyes, Suzuki Aoi continued: "I told them the clue of the ghost spider."

inside the cave

The ghost spider watched as the stone at the entrance of the cave was removed, but it was not the familiar figure that greeted him.

A pair of brother and sister looked down at him with hatred and hatred in their eyes.

......

"Sorry, Kikyo." Suzuki Aoi stopped looking at the young miko, "I'm not as kind as you."

Hearing this, Kikyo just shook her head lightly and said: "This is the price for his evil deeds." She is not a person who doesn't discriminate between right and wrong.

After listening to Kikyo's answer, the corners of Suzuki Aoi's mouth curled up, and then she stepped up the path ahead, "Then... goodbye, Kikyo, Maple."

"Goodbye." Her...friend.

Although neither of them ever brought it up, a friendship did remain between them - Aoi Suzuki, the young shrine maiden's... first friend in this world.
