[Inuyasha] Miko and Youkai

Miko Reiko is a kind and beautiful woman.Anyone who has met her will feel that way.

She was wearing white clothes and scarlet trousers, her knee-length black hair was draped softly behind her, and her gentle and bright eyes seemed to be shining with stars when she smiled.Just being watched by her will give her the urge to tell her everything.

And at this moment, she was looking at Holly with such eyes.His eyes are gentle and quiet.

Reiko was not in a hurry to speak, and Dongqing was not in a hurry either.It must not be a trivial matter that can embarrass Miko Reiko, she never likes trouble.

"Holly." Reiko said apologetically, "I want to ask you for help with something, I don't know if you would like to."

"It is Dongqing's honor to be able to help Master Lingzi." Dongqing wrote stroke by stroke on the paper.She still has a lot of respect for this witch who saved her life and worked hard to heal her. If she could, she would not refuse.

"It's because of me." Reiko smiled. "The witch in the neighboring village passed away not long ago, but the successor witch has low spiritual power and can't protect the villagers well. There are monsters attacking their village recently, and they really can't do anything about it." , had no choice but to ask me for help. I agreed, but..."

"It's impossible for you to leave the village. If you leave, no one will maintain the barrier, and the village will be attacked by a large number of monsters..." Dongqing guessed the reason for Lingzi's hesitation in a second.

"Yes, I have already planned to let Maou go, she is capable enough to handle this matter. It's just that Maou is not as stable as you, I really don't feel relieved to let her go alone, so..." Reiko hesitated to speak.She also felt that such an arrangement was unreasonable. After all, Dongqing had only been a witch for less than a year, and it was difficult to protect herself in case of danger. It was really difficult for her to take care of others in her spare time.

"I will go with Mao, please rest assured." Dongqing agreed without thinking.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Reiko looked at the answer written on the paper, hesitated, and said, "I read the ancient books and prepared a new medicine. You can try it when you come back."

Reiko has always felt guilty for not being able to cure Holly's voice.

Dongqing touched the faint scar on her neck, smiled and nodded.

Although it is difficult for her to utter a single word now, it is much better than losing her voice completely. At least she can see the hope of recovery.

……

Before leaving, Miko Reiko gave Dongqing a stack of talismans made by herself, and Dongqing carefully put the talismans in the pouch around her waist.

It hasn't been long since she became a witch, so far she has only learned how to use spells, not to mention that her archery skills are still very bad, and her accuracy is so poor that she can't distinguish between enemy and friend, so she doesn't envy Mao at all. What she got was the magic-breaking arrow with special power branch.

Although it is a neighboring village, Maple Village is actually not close at all.It took half a day just to pass

"It's so far away." Mao's face showed a tired look. , "How long will it take to arrive?"

"It should be here soon." Dongqing wrote slowly in the palm of her hand.In fact, she herself was not much better, but her constitution was rather cold, and the scorching sun didn't affect her too much, so she didn't feel irritable like Mao.

"I don't know why I always have a bad premonition, but I hope it's just my illusion... Ah, is it that village?" Maou suddenly pointed out, Dongqing looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a village like It was shrouded in white mist, and only a rough outline was vaguely revealed.

It does look like something is wrong.Holly thought.

……

It wasn't until the two of them reached the village that things in the village became clear.

Mao stood at the entrance of the village and sorted out the somewhat messy maiden clothes, tied up her long hair with a white rope, put on a different noble posture than usual, and then walked in.

"Being a witch naturally has to look like a witch." Every time Holly was surprised by her contrast, she always explained this way.It's a pity that Dongqing hasn't learned her ability to change roles at will.

"Miko-sama." The long-awaited old village chief came forward, "Please help us..." His voice stopped abruptly when he saw Mao's face clearly.Obviously he didn't expect that it was not Reiko but such a young miko who came, and there were two of them.

Maou has always hated people doubting her ability because of her young age, so she raised her chin and snorted softly, "I was entrusted by Reiko-sama to get rid of demons, do you have any dissatisfaction?"

Even if you are really dissatisfied, you won't say it, let alone when you still have something to ask for.After all, no matter how young the witch is, she is also a witch, right?

The old village chief has been a human spirit all his life, so he still has a good eye for seeing people. Knowing that Maou is not happy, he immediately said with a tactful smile: "Master Miko is kind-hearted, and we are very grateful for coming to help us." , how could you be dissatisfied! Miko-sama..."

"You don't have to flatter, tell me how the situation is now."

Mao interrupted him.

When it came to business, the old village chief's face suddenly became serious.He said: "Since the monsters attacked our village last time, many villagers have fallen into a coma for some reason. After waking up, they seem to lose their minds and attack their relatives. It seems that they are possessed by some evil thing... ..."

"Where are those problematic villagers now?" Mao asked after listening to his narration.

"They were locked up in the shrine in the village."

"Let's go and see their situation first and then make specific plans." Maou said after pondering for a while, "Holly, what do you think?" She turned her head to look at Holly, who nodded to her.

"Village chief, lead the way."

The old village chief smiled, made a "follow up" gesture, and took the lead in turning around and walking towards the shrine in the center of the village.

"holly?"

After walking for a while, he found that Dongqing didn't keep up. Mao turned around and saw that she was still standing there in a daze, and immediately shouted angrily: "Holly!"

Now even the village chief turned his head and looked over.

Strange, is she wrong?Was that black shadow just her hallucination?

Holly murmured in her heart, stared suspiciously at the village chief's face for a few times, but saw nothing, so she could only look away silently, and walked to Mao's side at a faster pace.

"What's wrong with you?" Mao gently poked her with his elbow.

Shaking her head silently, Dongqing took her hand and wrote two words gently and solemnly on her palm: Be careful.
