[Inuyasha] Miko and Youkai

The setting sun is slanting to the west, which is the time to meet the devil.

Holly is on the way to the shrine.She was wearing the white clothes and scarlet trousers common to witches, holding a finely crafted ceremonial fan in her hand, and a small bag for holding spells tied around her waist. Her back was straight, her limbs were slender, and the hem of her clothes danced slowly with her leisurely steps. with.

Walking along the road, the villagers who were working on both sides of the road put down their work one after another to say hello to her.

"Master Holly."

"Has your lord visited Yingzi again?"

"It's really thanks to Master Dongqing, that brat in my family wants me to thank you on his behalf!"

"Master Holly..."

The villagers expressed their enthusiasm with each other. Dongqing looked at them, nodded with a smile and continued walking towards the shrine.

……

The shrine is built on a mountain. It is more appropriate to say that it is a hill than a mountain.From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain are gray and white stone steps, stretching all the way to the front of the shrine.

Climbing up the stairs, halfway through the walk, Dongqing suddenly raised her head in response, and saw Mao standing against the light a few steps away from her without any surprise.

"Slow to death!" Mao, who was also wearing a red and white priestess costume, lifted her chin slightly, a trace of impatience appeared on her beautiful face, "It took half a day to get rid of a demon."

Holly looked at her with crooked eyebrows and smiled.There are some people who always don't mean what they say, and they come to her because they are worried that she can't solve it alone, but they insist on putting on a haughty look.

Say what's on your mind.If they hadn't seen through her arrogant nature under her haughty appearance, it's not certain whether they could become friends.

"Don't laugh!" Mao always felt that every time Holly smiled at her, she looked gentle and helpless, as if she was tolerating a child who was having a temper, which made her very frustrated.

Holly walked to her side, reached out and touched her head.Even though she was half a head shorter than Mao, this movement was done very smoothly, just like she usually stroked the black cat in the shrine.

"Damn! Don't treat me like a child to comfort you!" Mao complained dissatisfiedly, and slapped the messy hand, "You haven't answered why I've been here for so long!"

Holly still smiled and said nothing.

"Why are you laughing! Talk to me! You can already speak, why are you pretending to be dumb!"

Holly lowered her eyes slightly.It's not that she pretended to be dumb on purpose, it's just that after being dumb for so long, her voice hasn't fully recovered, and it's hard for her to speak complete sentences now.

But knowing that if you continue to remain silent, Maou is about to blow his hair, Holly wrote slowly in the open palm of the other party: "Eiko fell asleep and pulled me to prevent me from leaving, I will stay at Aunt Fujiwara's house for a while for a while."

If Yingzi hadn't held her hand, she didn't want to wake up Yingzi who had been tormented by evil spirits for days and couldn't sleep, and she wouldn't have come back until now.

Mao read her explanation, and snorted lightly: "Little girls are trouble."

Holly said in her heart that you are only thirteen or fourteen years old, and there is no difference between you and the six-year-old Yingzi.But she won't tell Mao if this is the case, lest she become arrogant again, and she has to find a way to smooth her hair.

So she continued to write: "Where is Reiko-sama?"

Reiko was the witch who rescued her back to the village from the monsters, and she is now her and Mao's teacher, responsible for teaching them how to become a qualified witch.It is likely that Mao's appearance here is also at her behest.

"Master Reiko is setting up the barrier... I don't know why, the spiritual power of the barrier has been draining very fast recently, this is the second time it has been repaired this month."

Mao frowned as he spoke, obviously feeling that something was wrong.You must know that Reiko is a witch with very powerful spiritual power, and the barrier she arranged can last for at least half a year, but recently the barrier has become unstable.If Miko Reiko hadn't been tinkering with it, there might have been monsters invading the village long ago.

"Still can't find the reason?" Holly wrote again.

"At first I suspected that it was a monster, but Reiko-sama said that she couldn't sense the monster's energy, and the barrier was unstable because of the loss of spiritual power, and there was no sign of being destroyed."

Mao said and bit her lower lip, which is her habitual action when thinking, "You know, under normal circumstances, spiritual power will also be lost automatically. The current situation seems to be that someone has accelerated time and accelerated the loss of spiritual power. Speed...Master Reiko said that the speed may be even faster in the future, and she needs to set up another barrier within the original barrier, otherwise there may be more monsters like Possessed Yingzi."

After listening to Mao's words, Dongqing also frowned.It turns out that the enchantment is already weak enough to allow monsters to take the opportunity to enter?She thought that the monster on Yingzi's body was caused by her when she slipped out of the village, but she didn't expect the monster to enter the village.That monster had fought her before, and its strength can be said to be very weak, but it is difficult to find them attached to people, and it is not easy to peel them off.

"Don't worry, Reiko-sama will find a solution!" Maou was the first to recover, she patted Holly on the shoulder and comforted her, her voice was full of trust in Reiko Miko, "Let's go."

Holly nodded, walked quickly a few steps to follow Mao back to the shrine.
