The life of monsters is too long, which is different from that of humans.

She is a monster transformed from a fox in the mountains. After a long and tedious practice and fighting with other monsters, she has transformed from an ordinary fox into a more powerful three-tailed fox, but her goal is not limited to this— —

Finally, she walked from the mountains to the world. Although she is no longer as weak as she was at the beginning, she can only be regarded as a little fox who has just hardened and formed. She is still young in the world and has little experience.

In the beginning, the three-tailed fox, who didn't use demonic power to hide its ears and tail, and didn't understand human beings, was naturally driven out of the village by the panicked people, and even invited onmyoji, monks, and people with spiritual power to come. Destroy her who is a youkai.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to save herself from danger every time.But after experiencing this, she also understands that in the eyes of human beings, monsters are an evil existence that must be eliminated.

The pursuit of strength sometimes does not have other purposes, but just wants to survive better in this cruel world.

In order to become more powerful, she began to practice seduction—the kind of spell that can confuse people's hearts, and gradually knew how to conquer people's hearts, but even so, she didn't understand what people mean by "love" feeling.

Love that can be easily spoken out must not be a good thing, right?

until that day.

The cherry blossoms in March were as beautiful as a dream, one she would never forget.

It can be seen from a distance, there is a witch standing under the cherry blossom tree, the red and white clothes only make her extremely noble and refined, she is arranging her medicine basket with her head down, her movements are slow, the petals of the cherry blossoms fall with the wind, one day The petals floated to her hair, and she picked up the petals casually, with a slight smile on her lips, giving people a cool and gentle feeling.

It was such a smile that instantly captured the heart of the newly born Three-Tailed Fox.

She tried her best to get close to the flower of Gaoling, and became acquainted with the witch in human form, and gradually became acquainted, from a stranger to a sister.

During that time, she forgot her identity as a monster, and kept company with the witch all day long, so happy that she couldn't control herself.

The witch's gentleness is silent like a stream, flowing into her heart like this. She never asks about the life experience of the three-tailed fox, nor where she comes from, what is her purpose, but only smiles and says to her: "Can you accompany me more?" You'll be fine for a while, no matter what."

While saying this, Miko's eyes made people's heart move, so she also believed this sentence.

"If only we could be together forever."

How far is forever?

Is it a year, ten years, or a hundred years.

She thought that she could accompany the witch until she went from tangled black hair to gray hair, and watched her die of old age. At that time, her strength would definitely not be as weak as it is now, and then she went to find the reincarnation of the witch.

After the death of a human being, the soul is under the control of Yan Mo-sama and her subordinates in the underworld. As long as she finds a way to make a mark before reincarnation, she will be able to find her reincarnation correctly.

She had thought about everything and their future, but she didn't expect that the world was unpredictable.

Her demonic power is not enough to last a whole day. After a long time, the hidden tail and ears will automatically appear. That day she and the witch went to the mountains to collect medicine. In the evening, she felt that she was about to remain unsatisfactory. If you lose your human form, you will find an excuse to leave.

This situation was not just this time, almost every time she left at this time, she subconsciously didn't want the witch to know that she was a monster.

"Why are you leaving at this time?" the witch asked her.

"I..." She couldn't think of an answer, but said, "I can't stay here anymore."

"Do you have any reason?" The witch sighed, and sat down beside her with a cold and gentle expression. "Can you tell me?"

The three-tailed fox was silent, she could tell the witch anything, except that she was a monster.

"I've always found it strange that everything about you is like a mystery..." the witch said, "You know everything about me, but I don't understand you at all. I thought I didn't care before because I felt that I could be with you." Together, I am very happy."

"But you haven't told me anything for so long..."

It's not that I don't want to tell, it's just that I can't.

She couldn't imagine how the witch would react when she found out that she was a monster. She must think that she was deliberately trying to get close to her.

The three-tailed fox didn't speak, she knew that if she didn't explain clearly today, it would not be good for the relationship between the two of them, but just when she lost her mind, the standard of a monster appeared behind her.

Three tails, this is not what humans should have.

"..." The witch opened her eyes a little when she saw it, but she seemed to have expected this result and was not very surprised, she just said, "I see."

The three-tailed fox came back to her senses, and saw the witch staring blankly behind her, a little strange, but a bad premonition rose in her heart, she turned her head, but saw her own tail revealed at some point , no matter how hard she tried to cover it up, it couldn't be undone.

For a moment, it was like falling into an ice cellar, her whole body was cold and she could hardly move, and then she said almost desperately: "This is the truth, do you mind?"

...Do you care that I'm a monster?

Will you leave me because of this?

The witch just smiled: "No, even if you are a monster, I will always be with you."

The three-tailed fox looked up, saw the sincerity in her eyes, and couldn't believe it: "But... they all said that no human would be with a monster."

The fact that I have been lying to you and concealing it all the time is just because I don't want to hurt the person who is very important to me, because once I get it, I don't want to lose it anymore.

"Even monsters have feelings." The witch said, "What's the difference between a monster with feelings and a human? ... And." She leaned closer to her face, and that beautiful face was especially vivid under the setting sun. "I trust you and won't hurt me."

When the witch said these words, the three-tailed fox felt her heart beating fast for the first time. She couldn't describe this feeling. Probably, at this moment, she wanted to give up her identity as a monster and become a human.

Is this the "love" those people said to her?

The witch was not afraid of her, but just asked her to come here again the next day according to the prescribed time.

Monsters don't need to sleep. That night, she watched the moon all night, but she never realized that the moon is so beautiful. Although it is out of reach, it gives people a peaceful and quiet feeling.

As a result, when she saw the witch again, she only got a cold response.

"Please don't come here again."

Three-tailed fox stared at her indifferent expression, she was no different from when we first met, the only difference was that the smile on her face turned into ice, making her look even more unapproachable.

"……why?"

It was her turn to say this, and she begged bitterly, but only got a colder stare from the witch: "Because, I now realize that monsters and humans are actually different."

She eventually ran away, fled in despair.

She didn't understand what happened. Miko's attitude would completely change after one night. What she said was that monsters are like human beings and that they have emotions, is it really a lie?

No one would like a monster, and she, who knew how to love, was hurt by this word after all.

During the time when she was away from the witch, the three-tailed fox drifted as if she had completely lost her soul, but once it was the dead of night, she couldn't help but think of the witch.

Her red and white clothes, her shallow smile, her indifferent expression, and the caring words she involuntarily said to herself, the scent of flowers and medicine mixed together on her body...

In the end, after an unknown amount of time, she still returned to the cherry tree, but the witch in her memory was gone, only the short mound under the cherry tree seemed to be laughing at the monster who had lost everything.

Human life is as short as cherry blossoms, but she did not expect that the maiden had already died. She thought that she could see the maiden grow old, but this has become a luxury. The maiden passed away quietly at her best age.

So she can only recall the first time she saw her.

It was March again, the cherry blossoms were blooming, and she was no longer the little fox who came under the cherry blossom tree again.Later, she also learned that that night, a fox demon that she had never seen before attacked the village. It was also a three-tailed fox, and the witch who protected the village died in the battle with this monster.

She finally understood why the miko said that.

"I didn't mean to hurt humans..."

Facing this onmyoji, he said what he hadn't said to the witch before, but it was too late.

Back under the cherry tree, I hope to see that familiar figure again, but it is impossible.

Xue Hui saw a tear falling down the beautiful face of the three-tailed fox. For some reason, she also felt a little heartache. Perhaps this grief was so strong that others couldn't help but be touched.

"If it's not for this, then what are you for?"

Yuki said.

"I'm just here to commemorate an old friend." The three-tailed fox took out a bunch of garlands from his arms, placed them in front of the grave, and kept his eyes fixed on it. "It doesn't make any sense to me to live anymore, just kill if you want to kill."

Living alone in the world is the loneliest thing. The witch has been reincarnated for so long, and she doesn't even know the day she died. It is almost impossible to find her reincarnation. The soul entered another body, and she was no longer the one she knew.

Xue Nu looked at the three-tailed fox, a little puzzled, but also a little understanding, she seemed to understand something, but she was not sure, just kept silent.

Xuehui smiled bitterly, always feeling that the other party seemed to have misunderstood her meaning. In fact, she was not interested in slaying demons at all, but had to face these demons in order to complete the task. , A monster who has no killing spirit, no matter what, he can't do it.

"Let's go. When you come to pay homage to the deceased in the future, it's better to transform into a human form."

The three-tailed fox did not move when she heard this sentence: "I don't know where to go, maybe my destination is to die with her." She turned her face slightly and said: "Onmyoji, you know that the connection between the world and the Messenger of the underworld? Existence of extraterrestrials called souls."

Xue Hui froze for a moment: "You mean..."

"Their mission is to lead those souls who stay in the human world to the underworld. I'm thinking that she has not reincarnated at all." Sanweihu said, "Perhaps, she is still in the human world...but this is just my guess. But as soon as I find those two, I can figure it out."

Speaking of this, she looked at Xue Hui: "But they will only appear when the soul is extradited, so I haven't seen their traces so far, but I heard that onmyoji can summon shikigami through onmyoji, which has great power Your onmyoji can summon them."

Xue Hui didn't want to hide it from her: "I'm just a weak onmyoji, so I might not be able to help you."

Hearing this, the three-tailed fox looked at Xuenv who was beside her: "Your strength is indeed not very good, but you have tamed such a powerful monster."

... Xuenv, it can be regarded as an accident, at most she can summon a little monster like sister Tiaotiao, and she can subdue Xuenv, even she herself can't believe it.

"I don't want to be the shikigami of those onmyoji who use monsters as tools, they won't listen to what I say." The three-tailed fox said very firmly, "I have a hunch that your strength will become very powerful soon. ..."

"So please let me be your shikigami."

The purpose of the three-tailed fox is to use her power to help her find the extraditor of the soul, but from her description, it is known that the condition for being able to summon them is that she must be very strong, but she has no confidence. Knowing why the three-tailed fox believed in her so much, and wanted to become her shikigami on a whim, but in terms of strength, having the three-tailed fox would only be beneficial to her, so after hesitating for a while, she He opened his mouth and agreed.

The three-tailed fox became her fourth shikigami, but unlike Yingcao, the three-tailed fox left after becoming her shikigami. Although she hoped to use her strength to find the messenger connecting the world and the underworld, the three-tailed fox Fox still did not give up on his own to find their traces.

But the three-tailed fox will still appear during the battle, and her main force has changed from Xuenv to one more, which can be regarded as an improvement.

Seeing that she was not in any danger, Xuenv went back to the snowfield and stayed there. She said that spring and summer made her very uncomfortable.

After solving the matter of the three-tailed fox, on the way back from the shrine, she heard a sudden noise. She looked in the direction of the sound, but saw several children from the village gathered together, using a branch to touch a furry child on the ground. s things.

When the children saw her coming, they didn't salute like the adults in the village, but continued with their movements with great interest.

"What are you doing?" She couldn't help but yelled out. She glanced forward and was attracted by the white ball on the ground.

The white fluffy animal that looks like a puppy is curled up in a ball, but there is a lot of blood on the body of such a weak animal. If you look closely, its blood is not red, but dark blue, which is very unusual. , and this animal that looks like a puppy does not look exactly like a dog, but a bit like a fox.

Neither a dog nor a fox...

This is a monster, right?

But judging from the appearance, it should be a little monster that has not yet formed. The demonic aura on its body is so weak that it can hardly be felt. .

The child smiled and said, "We are destroying monsters." After speaking, he poked the wounded place of the little animal with a dry branch, and with his movement, the white ball on the ground twitched slightly.

Several other children followed his example and tortured the poor little monster together. They showed no mercy at all, as if this was what it should have been.

Children's world is black and white, there is no distinction between right and wrong, only likes and dislikes, they just think it's funny, and they don't understand how painful their actions will bring them.

Xuehui couldn't stand it anymore, and squatted down to stop the leading child from poking deeper and deeper: "Okay, don't continue."

The child also knew that she was respected by the adults in the village, so he obediently obeyed, but he couldn't understand: "Why did the adults save it?"

"Because it's not a monster, it's just a poor little animal."

"How can any animal grow up like this?" Another child yelled, "It's neither a dog nor a fox, and the blood that bleeds is still blue, so it's obviously a monster."

Hearing this sentence, the white ball on the ground opened its eyes. Its eyes were ice blue, clear and bright, but they carried a human emotion, indifferent and arrogant, as if a god looked at him and surrendered to him. of all sentient beings.

"...Well, it's just what you think, but it's really not a monster." Xuehui lightly picked up the small animal on the ground, it was already dying, and it couldn't even move.

The children originally wanted to drag her to continue questioning, but they were called back by the adults who followed behind them. The adults all looked at her with apologetic faces, thinking that their own children had offended her, Xue Hui just smiled and shook her head .

Looking at the little animal in her arms, she guessed that there was firefly grass, which should be able to cure it, and let it go when the time comes.
