When she said this, Jiu Tunji's tone was very cold and hard, the gentle feeling when she just woke up disappeared completely, and all that was left was the decisive king in front of her.

The Lord of Arakawa's footsteps paused, and he quietly watched Jiu Tun Ji.This impersonal feeling came back, just like the first time he saw her, although she was very idle at that time, in fact, there was a sense of oppression and coldness that could not be ignored deep down.And after seeing her a few times later, that is, on the way she decided to go to the central part, her attitude finally gradually changed and became full of humanity. She seemed to have unloaded all the burdens in her heart and began to truly use One of the most relaxed postures to observe the world.But now everything is back to square one.

In fact, this guy is fine no matter what, and he doesn't need to devote much energy to her, but he still wants to see what kind of existence this king of another world is. She defended the palace, rushed to Ping'an capital without stopping, and arrived at the king's city at the critical moment - if she just let it go like this, it would really be a deal that lost money, after all, he had already invested so much ah.

So, Lord Arakawa, who was supposed to walk out of her room, closed the door neatly, and he sat opposite her again. His attitude was very calm, so even if Jiu Tunhime felt that his behavior was very inexplicable, it was still in his natural He accepted the fact that he turned back with a low attitude.

"Have you always been like this when you were in your world?" Lord Arakawa asked in a flat tone.

"How?"

The Lord of Arakawa twitched the corners of his mouth, "Arbitrary, exclusive, never explaining the reasons for his actions." Jiu Tunhime's hands on her knees were clenched tightly, and the Lord of Arakawa squinted his eyes to see her small movements and nodded clearly Said: "Sure enough."

After a long time, Jiu Tunji said in a low voice: "...It's terrible." Her tone was full of mockery.

The Lord of Arakawa glanced at her, "It seems that you have noticed it too." The tone was indescribably indifferent, but also very slapped, that's how Jiu Tunhime felt at this time.

But as expected, it was more... novelty.Someone in another world who dared to speak to her like this, would have been cut into pieces by others without her doing it herself?

"When I first came here, I always thought that time had gone backwards, because I had done many irreversible things, so the gods gave me a chance to repent..." Her voice was very soft. In the end, even her I couldn't help laughing, "Stupid, right? But, that's what I thought at that time." The only thing she was favored by the gods was probably the never-fading cherry tree in her garden.

"And then you wake up from your dream." The Lord of Arakawa concluded.

Shutenji nodded briskly, "But it's not completely awakened, because everything here is completely different from that side." There is Ibaraki Doji here, although his personality is completely deviant; is he blinded by hatred here? Although the little deer boy didn't even touch his horns; then... Jiu Tunji's heart sank slightly, there was also a big tengu who was in the same camp as her, but in the end he still became an enemy with her.

The existence of the big tengu is really special. He first let her see a new possibility, and then told her with his own actions. The world has entered a nearly identical future because of her appearance.She once thought that she was living in a brand new future, but all of this revealed the cruelest truth after the big tengu's betrayal-where did so many differences come from, and she has been walking on her old path.

"Then tell him the dangers of the rift in the underworld, tell him why you didn't save human beings, and let him know the specific reasons behind your series of actions."

"He won't listen."

The Lord of Arakawa paused while shaking the folding fan, "I don't know if he can hear it or not," he closed the folding fan, and tapped it lightly in his palm, "I only know that this is you At present, the only way to save him. For many things, if you don’t try and just give it the ending you expected, it is the essential reason why you can never change your situation.”

Jiu Tunji pursed her lips and laughed, "Betrayal is the most unforgivable thing, no matter what the reason is."

The Lord of Arakawa twitched the corners of his mouth noncommittally—wait until you really stabbed that guy through the heart before saying such things to him. Then, he changed the subject, "Are you feeling better?"

Jiu Tunji was stunned, she looked at him with a weird face, but she nodded truthfully, this guy, when did he become so considerate?

The Lord of Arakawa nodded in satisfaction, "In return, don't come to me for anything these days." As he spoke, he seriously warned: "Especially don't leave the Two-faced Buddha to me next time."

Jiu Tunji: "..."

After the Lord of Arakawa left, Shuten Hime got up and opened another door in the house. Behind this door was a long corridor, and outside was the inner courtyard. Shuten Hime took a deep breath and walked into the courtyard In the middle, before her feet were about to touch the mud, thick-soled clogs produced by demonic power appeared on her feet, and she walked into the yard.The sky had already darkened, and the sun had completely disappeared below the horizon. She took a deep breath and began to think about the next thing.

At this moment, there was a sound behind her, and when she looked back, she saw Ibaraki Doji standing on the corridor looking at her.

"Are you awake?" Ibaraki Doji came out from the shadows. Just now he gave Jiu Tunji a gloomy aura, but when he stood completely in front of Jiu Tunji, his face There was only a touch of joy left.

Shutenhime smiled and nodded, she raised her foot and walked towards Ibaraki-douji, but due to the previous injury, she staggered. Before she could adjust her balance, Ibaraki-douji had already arrived in front of her in an instant, his left hand Hold her firmly.

"I'm ashamed that I let you see my ineffective appearance," Jiu Tunji said helplessly, "I really wanted to come out to breathe some fresh air, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, several vines had already broken out from the ground. They made up the shape of a chair, came docilely behind Jiu Tunji, and even lowered the height considerately, just waiting for her to sit on it.

Shuten Hime thanked her, and simply sat on it. The chair made of vines rose slowly, her feet were completely suspended in the air, and the clogs on her left foot slipped off her feet.Jiu Tunji glanced at it casually, but ignored it, it was something condensed by demon power anyway.

However, Ibaraki Doji bent down and picked up her clogs. He knelt down in front of Shutonhime, and held the clogs to her feet.

"...It's okay, Ibaraki-douji, you don't need to do this kind of thing." Jiu Tunji refused to put it on. In her opinion, this kind of behavior should not be done by him, a big monster.

"As long as it can help you, I'm willing to do anything." Ibaraki Doji raised his head and looked at Jiu Tunhime. His eyes were as hot as usual, but there were some other things added. , she stretched out her left foot and put on the clogs in his hand.While she was putting on the clogs, a vine protruded from the sole of her feet, allowing Shutenhime's feet to step on it.

After doing all this, he didn't intend to get up, and still knelt in front of her on one knee, letting her sit on a high place and look at him.

"I--"

"I'm sorry, Shutenhime-sama."

The two spoke at the same time, but Jiu Tunhime stopped after making a sound, while Ibaraki Doji continued in one breath.

"I'm sorry, I failed to protect you." He hung his head, straightened his back, and put one hand on his knee, "I'm too conceited, I thought, no matter what I face In such a situation, even if I give up everything, I can protect you, but..." But the reality didn't even give him the chance to give up everything.

"Did you know what I was going to say, so you didn't want me to say it on purpose?" Jiu Tunji asked amusedly.

Ibaraki Doji raised his head in doubt, he saw Shuten Hime smiling at him, her smile was very gentle, she raised her hand to hold his left arm, exerting a little force in her hand, trying to pull him off the ground Getting up, Ibaraki Doji immediately stood up after realizing that it was her injured right arm, "Your hand—"

"It doesn't matter." Jiu Tunji shook her head, she let go of her hand, and after a while, she said solemnly: "Sorry, Ibaraki Doji, I made a mistake this time." She looked down at her fingers, "However, I promise, I will come to the top of the demon world again to meet your expectations." She looked up at him and made a promise.

Ibaraki Doji opened his mouth, but no sound came out.This should be what he was looking forward to the most, but he couldn't respond.why?

Probably he saw Jiu Tun Ji again under her status as king.Becoming a king means that her weak shoulders carry the future of the entire monster race. The invisible shackles will strangle her to death, and she will be replaced by a cold and arbitrary king on the battlefield who will smile gently.He can see the pain under her calm appearance when the big tengu betrayed her, and there will be more and more times when she needs to swallow these sad things alone, because she is the king, so she can't show any weakness , she will bear more and more burdens - if so, he really hopes that she will always be a monster named Jiu Tun Ji.

Ibaraki Doji's heart was full of struggles, he realized what he had been expecting all along, but he didn't feel a little bit of happiness.He should have told her about Seimei's anomalies earlier, and he should have told her about that guy bewitching Daitengu little by little. In that case, even if she didn't realize her carelessness, she would still Not as sad as before.He obviously should protect her from the wind and rain, but he still watched her fall into the mud for her king's road.

"...I'm sorry, Shuten Hime-sama." Ibaraki Doji's painful words were blown away by the wind.Jiu Tunji looked suspiciously at the big monster who suddenly apologized, and he knelt down in front of her again. He took her right hand and pressed it to his forehead, "But I will always be with you side."
