It is the rainy season recently, and now it is raining continuously, so the road to the mountain is inevitably muddy.

Fortunately, before leaving the village, I brought a rainproof coir raincoat and a woven straw hat.

Stepping on the wet soil, if it is a little heavier, it will splash a little bit of mud.

Xue Hui's mood was just like the strength of this deep foot and shallow foot, a little ups and downs.

And what made her even more sad was the sight of the big tengu behind him who was always looking at her.

Even if you can't see it, you can still feel that the other party has been watching you silently.

Banruo didn't notice her uneasiness, but felt that Xue'e seemed a little restless, didn't pay attention to the obstacles in front of her, and was about to hit them straight away.

He frowned, and firmly held Xue'e's arm.

Xuehui almost bumped into the tree trunk, but suddenly there was an external force, she stopped in her tracks, turned around and saw the face of Prajna who was close at hand.

He has long eyelashes, delicate and beautiful facial features like a girl's.

Xuehui's breath was stagnant, and she quickly distanced herself from him.

Banruo seemed a little dissatisfied with her reaction, but she didn't say anything, just tilted her head, and asked sweetly as always: "Sister Xuehui, what are you thinking?"

Xue Hui only felt that the sight behind her seemed to be more intense. She ignored the discomfort all over her body, shook her head lightly, and smiled at him and said, "It's nothing, I was just in a daze just now."

But Hannya didn't believe what she said at the moment, he intuitively felt that it had something to do with the big tengu, for some reason he suddenly felt a little reconciled, maybe it was because the other party was completely unmoved by his charm, or maybe it was because he felt that he was completely It cannot be inserted into the relationship between two people.

Thinking of this, he felt powerless.

As a monster who is afraid of loneliness, the only thing that can fill it up is probably love.

Xuehui didn't know that although she had promised to help Banruo find someone who was truly worth treating, she would not understand that what he longed for now was her love.

Perhaps unconsciously, she has become a substitute for the past that was once unavailable.

Hannya looked at Datengu calmly, but met the other's colder gaze, and he withdrew his gaze disapprovingly.

The other party is obviously more passive than he imagined when it comes to feelings.

... Is he really going to just do this, the so-called protection of the person he believes in for the rest of his life?

However, it was exactly what he wanted.

Gu Huoniao just felt very headache. Although she saw through this relationship, she was also very anxious about this development.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Gu Huo Niao, who originally felt that she was on the sidelines, felt an impulse after a long absence.

Maybe she should do something?

After that, everyone kept silent in a tacit understanding, only the sound of pattering rain could be heard.

Iron Mouse's temple is hidden in the mountains, but it is surprisingly easy to find. Halfway up the mountain, you can see the old and dilapidated temple that seems to have a long history.

The temple shrouded in the misty drizzle is even more quiet and solemn.

The gate of the temple is ajar, and the dusty hall inside can be seen from this angle.

Xuehui stepped forward, took off her coir raincoat and straw hat, gently stretched out her hand, and knocked on the door a few times.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

It was quiet inside, only his own echo could be heard.

Is that monster really in there?

Xue Hui was a little skeptical, but after a few inquiries, she opened the door without hearing a response.

squeak-

A scene that Xuehui did not expect happened.

Countless dense black things rushed towards her like a tide.

It's a mouse.

Because they saw the light for a moment, the mice hiding in the dark seemed a little restless, and they seemed to rush towards one direction impatiently without purpose.

Xue Hui was almost scared out of her wits by this scene. She screamed subconsciously, and then tried to run away. After all, although she didn't have trypophobia, the picture of countless mice was a little too scary.

So much so that the hairs all over his body stood on end.

But the two legs seemed to be nailed in place, and they were still unable to move.

Although the mice seemed to avoid her body deliberately, none of the mice touched her ankles in the dense black tide.

But Xue Hui was still frightened, she felt dizzy for a while, and she didn't show this expression even when facing the ugly ghost.

She subconsciously wanted to cast spells, but although this thing was useful for monsters, it didn't work for these mice at all.

The body leaned back involuntarily, but the next moment the sides of the shoulders seemed to be bound by two different forces, and Yukie raised his head slightly and saw Daitengu and Hannya.

Gu Huo Niao coughed lightly, and then the two monsters let go at the same time, but their eyes occasionally intersected to always generate a crackling electric current.

She finally stood up straight, but by the time she realized it, the flowing rat tide had disappeared.

At this time, Xue Hui only felt that the atmosphere seemed a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

I just saw Gu Huo Niao shaking his head, as if he understood clearly.

She thought about that possibility, but denied it after a while.

After all, she always felt that the relationship between Datengu and Banruo was as simple as children vying for favor and candy, and she couldn't get in touch with her anyway.

As for why Gu Huo Niao had a heartbroken expression on her face, she really didn't understand.

The corners of Yukie's mouth twitched, feeling that she couldn't even guess the minds of the Shikigami, and then looked into the temple.

At this time, because of the light projected from the outside, the scene inside can be seen clearly.

There was no one inside.

Until the three of them searched the main hall and the back of the place, there was no trace of the iron mouse.

Not even a faint trace of evil spirit could be felt.

Xue Hui was a little puzzled, so she turned her head to look at Gu Huo Niao, wanting to ask her for more information, but found that the other party had disappeared suddenly. Just when she was a little surprised, she heard a noise at the door.

Gu Huo Niao grabbed a monster wearing a monk's robe and walked over. Because of her strength, the other party screamed: "Easy——Easy! You will lose the ears of the little monk!"

Gu Huo Niao snorted coldly: "It's still light, you guy tricked me into buying those useless things, I haven't settled with you yet!"

Seeing several people looking at him, Gu Huoniao said: "Master Xuee, this guy used these mice to attract our attention just now, and he took the opportunity to escape. If I didn't know his cunning nature well, I'm afraid I would have been deceived too." .”

Tie Shu had a bitter face, but hugged his burden tightly: "By the way, this master Onmyoji, the little monk has never committed any crimes. He usually just stays in this mountain temple, almost isolated from the world. Why do you want to arrest the little monk for no reason?"

Seeing his expression of bitterness and hatred on his face, Xue Hui suddenly felt a little funny: "I'm not trying to catch you, but I just want to ask you something."

Iron Mouse froze for a moment: "What's the matter?"

Prajna suddenly walked up to him, smiling brightly: "Do you still remember me?"

Tie Shu only felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be smiling sinisterly, and the hairs all over his body stood up: "Why are you...?"

Banruo patted him on the shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone, "You should still remember the scabbard, right?"

Iron Mouse was about to cry: "My little monk, my little monk just wants to raise money to help those poor villagers... Besides, is there something wrong with that scabbard?"

"Based on what I've seen over the years, the scabbard is definitely made by a famous expert. Even if the knife is lost, the craftsmanship of the scabbard is still very valuable for collection..."

This guy must have cheated a lot of people to have such a flustered reaction.

It's just what he said, that he cheated people to collect money in order to help the villagers?

Does this have anything to do with the villagers lying to them...

Thinking of this, Xue Hui interrupted his incoherent words: "Okay, what I want to ask you is about the scabbard."

"The scabbard, where did you get it?"

Iron Mouse said: "The scabbard is from a young monk visiting an old friend some time ago, passing by the river in Hokkaido, and met a bunch of monsters fighting..."

"Those monsters seemed to be fighting for a knife. Although I didn't know what they were called, I didn't know clearly. I thought that more things are worse than few things. When I pretended I didn't see anything and walked away, those monsters were seriously injured because they were evenly matched. One who can stand up."

"The little monk who wanted to pick up a bargain didn't find the knife, but at this moment, the little monk saw the scabbard they left by the river."

The Iron Mouse sighed and said, "Because seeing that the scabbard is something extraordinary, the monk secretly put it away, but after a while I saw that it was useless, and I happened to meet Prajna again, so I simply exchanged it for some." money."

Xue Hui asked, "Where did that knife go?"

Iron Mouse went on to say, "They probably wouldn't throw away such a precious treasure at will, but the knife was definitely not on them. As for where it went, I guess it must have been thrown into the river."

"You said the knife would not be thrown away, but why did you say it would be thrown into the river?"

Iron Mouse's face became more sad: "Those monsters are all dead. I have searched for a long time and there is no knife on them, and there is no trace of a knife in the place where they fought. The only possibility is that they fell into the river..."

Xuehui only felt a headache. If she fell into the river, how would she find the knife?

"It's just that if you can find the master who manages the river, you must be able to know the trace of the knife..."

Ootengu said calmly at this time: "Is the master in the river named the Lord of Arakawa?"

Iron Mouse nodded: "That's right, it's the Master of Arakawa."

"Later, the little monk came back here. As for the others, I don't know."
