"Companion?" Ibaraki Doji chewed the word carefully, a proud smile appeared in his eyes, "You are a human being who can talk."

Tachibana looked at him calmly, noncommittal.

After a short rest, Tachibana continued to run. Due to her unhealed injury, Tachibana’s walking speed was very slow. Ibaraki Doji walked a hundred meters away and she was still dawdling on the spot. The place is only three meters away, and the speed has improved, but it is only half a step faster than the snail next to it.

Ibaraki Doji: "..."

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Tachibana, and finally couldn't wait any longer, so he simply walked back and picked her up by the back collar, turned around and left.

"I can go by myself!"

"I'm impatient to wait for you to crawl over."

"I still have a wound on my neck!"

"Be patient."

Ibaraki Doji always does what he says, and letting the other party endure will not make the other party comfortable. Tachibana also understood this clearly from the fact that her neck was about to be strangled. In desperation, she had no choice but to stick her fingers into the collar Hold on, to prevent breathlessness.

The next day, the distant mountains changed from hazy black to Dai Qing, and the morning light was light and moist.

In addition to trying to adjust her posture more comfortably along the way, Tachibana also thought carefully for a while how to escape from the sight of Ibaraki Doji and run smoothly. Unlike the muddleheaded one at the beginning, she has now roughly sketched the road map in her mind Come out, the judgment of the surrounding terrain, the analysis of the blind spot of the monster's vision, all these factors must be taken into consideration, and there must be no sloppy.

While thinking, Ibaraki Doji suddenly dropped her.

"There is the breath of a close friend around here." He said so, but Tachibana knew that this was not for himself.

"Then go find your best friend. I'll go to the stream to wash my face. The corners of my eyes are sticky and uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Ibaraki Doji looked sideways at her, with a condescending expression in his thoughtful expression. After a while, this thoughtful expression turned into undisguised contempt, but he didn't say much , just sneered, and jumped back with a flick of his sleeves.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Tachibana vaguely felt a bit of killing intent.

She shook her head, then walked to the bank of the gurgling stream next to her, bent down to scoop up a handful of water, and washed the sweat and dust off her face.Of course, she didn't have enough time for these things to run back and forth, so Tachibana thought for a while, untied the bundle of paper, twisted the black hair into strands and dipped it into the stream, then straightened up a little, and combed the wet hair carefully , quietly waiting for the arrival of Ibaraki Doji.

"Hmph, are you still here?"

After half a quarter of an hour passed, a familiar deep voice sounded from the side.

Tachibana pulled the wet hair dry and tied it up with a bundle of paper.

"I thought you had escaped without knowing your life."

She wanted to run away, but she didn't say anything.

"I'm not that stupid yet," Tachibana asked, holding on to the roots of the tree, "Is there any gain?"

Ibaraki Doji gave her a very unhappy look.

It seems not.

"Then should we move on or ask the surrounding villagers, or..."

Before the words fell, a rabbit ran out from the grass. It carried a little demonic power. It should be an unformed monster still in the process of cultivation. It was not a big deal at first, just a quick glance will pass. , but what happened next was far beyond Tachibana's expectations—a silver-haired boy with downy rabbit ears suddenly stood up from the haystack, with a panicked expression on his face that seemed to indicate that he wanted to stop the unsuspecting animal. The formed monster ran out, but there was no time in the future.

"Where did you come from?" Ibaraki Doji frowned slightly, and the overflowing demon power became stronger and stronger, "How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation?"

Tuwan had never faced a person with such powerful demon power. His hand holding the bamboo stick was a little tighter, his knuckles were faintly white, and his crimson eyes were full of panic and fear, but his gaze remained on the ground just running. On the white rabbit who came out of the grass, the panic in his eyes weakened slightly after the latter jumped into the cave and disappeared completely.

Tachibana was a bit puzzled, but when she caught the radish pendant on the sleeve of the other party, the doubts in her heart were cleared up immediately.Her body reacted one step faster than her mind, and she rushed to hold Ibaraki Doji's ghost claw tightly, suppressing his killing intent.

Facing Ibaraki Doji's impatient and stern gaze, Tachibana did not show timidity. She collected herself and said, "The Rabbit Demon is very capable of finding out information."

The rabbit demon's sense of hearing is twice that of ordinary humans. As a great demon, Ibaraki Doji knows this somewhat, but he has never heard of such a thing as "the ability to inquire about information is very strong", so his brows became more and more furrowed , the mood gradually became worse, Tachibana quickly added: "Let me ask him about your best friend!"

Before Ibaraki Doji could answer, she moved in front of Usagimaru and winked at Usagimaru with her back. Usagimaru was in a great panic and didn't understand her meaning for a moment, and it took a long time before he hesitated I hummed.

"Have you seen a red-haired, handsome monster with a wine gourd on his back, a very powerful monster?"

If Ibaraki-douji heard this question that contained great praise for his best friend, he probably wouldn't care too much about Usagimaru.

"No..." Tumaru just spit out this word, and was frightened back by Tachibana's sudden anxious expression, "See, I've seen."

"Then where did he go?"

Tachibana repeated the word "village" twice with her mouth.

"Next to a village..."

"Is it far from here?"

"It's a bit far, but he may not be in the village now. Besides, I saw him here yesterday, and he went to the right."

The second half of the sentence was said by Tuwan himself, which is very authentic.Tachibana considered the words for a while, then limped back to Ibaraki Doji, and repeated the question just now: "The specific direction has been asked, let's go."

If the prediction is correct, the monster who gave her radish and water five days ago is the same as Usagimaru, and now it is the end of the repayment, and there will be no debt from each other from now on.It's a pity that no matter how good the wishful thinking is, it can't match the sentence of the final sanctioner, "Since the rabbit monster is good at inquiring about news, let's take him to find my friend together."

Tachibana: "..."

Welcome to a world without human rights, Usagimaru.

Although he did not escape, this ending is much better than death.

"Is that rabbit just now your friend?" Tachibana asked, "You seem to care about it."

Tumaru hesitated for a while, and there was a little anxiety in his round voice: "Well... I rescued him from the wooden cage, and I want him to go to a safe place, so that he won't be caught for lunch again."

Lihua saw that he hadn't fully adapted to the current situation, so she didn't intend to ask more questions, and just walked forward at a constant speed with a cane, and was speechless for a while.After the ordeal just now, she has mastered the basic skills of walking on crutches, and it is no problem to maintain the same speed as normal walking for a short period of time, so she does not need Ibaraki's overbearing and murderous support.

However, the journey alone on crutches was difficult. At the end of the day, Tachibana's strength decreased significantly, and once she lost her crutches and almost fell to the ground, fortunately, Tumaru next to her helped her in time.

"You look seriously injured, even if your condition is stable, you shouldn't mess around," Tumaru suggested with some worry, "How about I carry you behind my back?"

Even if Yasha wasn't there, Tachibana couldn't be so bold as to let a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth walk behind his back, she waved her hands again and again, then pointed to her miserable calf and said, "I can walk by myself, don't worry! "

"...Okay, let me know if you can't hold on, so I can help you."

"Ok!"

At the end of the conversation, Tachibana started the difficult and lonely journey again. She stroked the crutch that depended on each other, as gentle as if she was treating her first love.

——Suddenly miss Yasha so much.

Looking at the boundless blue sky, the white clouds floating in the sky are like yakshas, ​​and the birds flying by are like yakshas. When you lower your head, the wild star anise on the side of the road looks like yakshas, ​​and even the ladybug lying on it to bask in the sun and sterilize looks like the twin brothers of yakshas. For a moment, the lovesickness in Tachibana's heart seemed to be rising and burning irresistibly, threatening to become a prairie fire.

Tumaru: "Don't you really want to take a break, your state seems to be very unstable."

"Cough," the lovesick girl cleared her throat, "it's okay."

If the fire continued, her skull would be gone.

Ibaraki Doji: "What the hell are you doing dilly-dallying!"

The two said in unison: "Yes, I'm sorry!"

In the next seven days, Tachibana obeyed the precautions given by the owner all the time. If she could not move, she would not touch it, and if she could not touch it, she would not touch it. Before, she was worried that Ibaraki would order her to use a pair of lame legs to go around to find information. Now it seems that It's too much to worry about, because the route they took is so sparsely populated that there is not even ash in the pot, let alone a village.

"Here," Tumaru handed the radish to Tachibana, "this time it's cooked."

Ibaraki and Usagimaru are both monsters, eating is optional, but Tachibana is different. The long-standing habit of eating meals cannot be easily changed. Ibaraki is too lazy to care about these small things, so for the past seven days, Usagimaru has been managing Tachibana Occasionally radishes, sometimes vegetables, and sometimes wild fruits, Tachibana knows that he has a pure heart and can't bear to hurt those living animals, so he has to live a period of time without meat.

This afternoon, Tuwan, who came back from exploring the road, asked, "There are two forked roads ahead, which way should we go?"

"Both ways," Ibaraki replied without hesitation.

Tumaru thought that he meant to let himself and Tachibana go to one side to take care of each other, and he went to the other side, and then returned to gather at that time, but when he arrived at the fork, Ibaraki said: "Humans, you go to the right .”

"What?!" Tumaru was surprised, "She's injured!"

After finishing speaking, I saw Ibaraki's complexion darkened, and his tone was a bit unhappy: "Does the little bug that lives in spring and dies in autumn also have the right to resist?"

"I'm fine," Tachibana patted Usagi on the shoulder, "Just come back early and pick me up."

Ibaraki will definitely not have time to take care of her this time around, and she can finally carry out her plan with confidence.

The road on the right leads to the human town. Although the buildings are a bit old, it is not difficult to see that the residents here are still living comfortably, and there is no sign of being infested by monsters.

If you have not been infested by monsters, there must be an Onmyoji.

Thinking of this, Tachibana resolutely hid the crutches in the bushes beside the entrance of the town, and removed the cloth belt and wooden boards and put them away together, then walked into the town openly, after several inquiries, he came to a In front of the gate of Yinyang, she looked at the torii gate for a while, and then called Uncle Zhiding who was cleaning the yard, and smiled: "Please tell your president, I want to kick the gate."
