From May to June this year, nothing major happened in the world. Wealthy areas struggled for freedom and equality as usual, and war-torn areas were also the same as in the past. They were thinking all day about how to avoid artillery fire and find a job that could feed their families. The young Men and women are falling in love, and patients in the hospital are breathing their last breath.

Kiemon, as an extremely small part of all living beings in this world, shoots videos as usual, but each video will focus on introducing a person.

He called the police, and also found Internet promoters, thinking that even if the police couldn't find them, those enthusiastic netizens might be able to make a little contribution for the sake of money.

But it's a pity.

On the third day of Kurokawa's disappearance, there was still no news of him.

Experienced detectives say the chances of survival are slim.

However, a person who claimed to be Kurokawa's friend came to the door. Although he was polite and courteous, he always looked down from the superior. He repeatedly asked what happened when Kurokawa disappeared.

"Will it disappear in an instant?"

"Disappeared in an instant."

Kiemon was very sure.

After the man named Chilulian left, Kurokawa's homeroom teacher also came to visit, inquiring about the unexplained disappearance of students in recent days, and also brought a group photo taken by everyone during the school trip in May. The homeroom teacher posted the photos On the table: "Hope this helps you."

In just a few days, Kiemon consumed a lot of civet cats and turned them into leaves. He had no choice but to go back to his hometown in Shikoku to visit his foster parents. His furry face rubbed against him, but Kiemon was a little embarrassed, after all, when he left, he swore not to go home until he became Daimyojin.

He asked his parents for a lot of transformed leaves, and his parents thought something happened to him. After knowing that the humans who lived together suddenly disappeared, Tanuki's parents gave him the contact information of the members of the Nuliang group.

"If he disappeared in Tokyo, there must be something I can do to help."

"It works for a big gang."

Although it's embarrassing to still gnaw on the old at such a big age, Kiemon is still very happy to contact this member who is said to be a member of the Nulianggumi through the friendship of his parents, and get the guarantee that "if there is any news, we will let you know". Happy.

After returning home from the four countries, some uninvited guests came suddenly, all of them were fierce and fierce, with swords in their belts.

The leading man has three white eyes, with a cigarette in his mouth, and squinted at him from top to bottom: "Where did the monster come from, did you apply for a temporary residence permit when you entered Tokyo?"

"It's done."

Kiemon rubbed his hands and nodded.

"Are you looking for someone recently?"

"Isn't it because you ate it? It's a pretense of deliberately beating me?"

Those three white eyes were very rude as soon as they opened their mouths.

"I'm a bobtail cat with identification!"

Kiemon akimbo: "If you go too far, I'll sue you at the Animal Protection Association!"

Sanbaiyan scratched at his hair, "I really can't do anything with you shapeshifting animals."

He took out a search warrant: "It's okay to investigate the house."

The other party left after investigating the house.

Kiemon was the only one left in the empty room.

The search for someone he caused on the Internet lasted only a week.

The police, as well as hired private detectives, passed on the news one after another. There was no trace. The chance of survival of the person who had disappeared for a week was very small. It is better to prepare for death first.

"Get ready for the funeral."

a week.

two weeks.

three weeks.

On the last day of the fourth week, Kiemon tied a white strip on his head and cheered himself up: "Come on! Kiemon! You are the best!"

Then he received a letter from a girl on the Internet.

"Hi hi, how are you?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, it's like this, I met a man on Mount Fuji... who looks very similar to the man you're looking for..."

Meow……

yeah!

Kiemon, you are indeed the best!

……

Seeing Kurokawa after a month, Kiemon was very moved. Many people said that he was dead and could not survive, so that seeing this person standing in front of him alive, all the anger on the way here It all disappeared, leaving only the touch of "it's good that he's alive".

But after the reunion, the expected hugging and crying did not happen. Herokawa lowered his head and said something to the girl next to him, surrounded by passing vehicles and backpackers in heavy clothes.

Kurokawa was as calm as if he hadn't been missing for a month at all.

on the car.

The driver hired by Kiemon is a monster from the Nuliang Group, who can turn into a human body and walk among humans. It is called "Ichimoku". The prototype of a monster has only one eye.

The two often talked because of their relationship with the civet cat's parents.

Kiemon was also asked by Kurokawa Misami to find him.

Ichimo drove the car, looking at Kiemon in the rear seat and the long-lost boy from the rearview mirror from time to time.

Kiemon was very angry, the ball stood aside like a big orange, with a tiger face and refused to look at anyone, while the long-lost boy next to him reached out to help him smooth his hair, "I'm sorry."

"It happened quite suddenly."

"Thank you for always looking for me these days."

"Kiemon."

"Give me a chance to apologize."

"I don't know how to say touching sweet words. I still hope that my future actions can show my apology."

Kiemon couldn't help wagging his tail.

"I can't say sweet words, isn't it very good now?"

"Forget it, after all, you didn't do it on purpose."

Kiemon was just a little annoyed... Kurokawa didn't show any signs of being missing for a month?

Happiness, joy, excitement, and the reunion after meeting friends, at least a little bit.

But Kurokawa was plain.

He sat upright on the car seat, and looked out of the window between speeches. The snow top of Mount Fuji was reflected in his eyes, as if reflecting a white sky.

When getting out of the car, Kiemon thanked Ichimoku repeatedly, but the other party waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Kiemon handed the key to Kurokawa, "I have cleaned the floor well this month."

Kurokawa took the keys. This bunch of keys contained house keys, bicycle keys, drawer keys, and other keys of unknown use.

After he took it, he froze for a moment, "Which one is it?"

Have you forgotten this?

Kiemon pointed it out to him, but found that this person even forgot to turn the key left and right, and then opened the door strangely, looking around with a cold look, as if he didn't know this place at all.

What happened during the month Kurokawa disappeared?

Why do you make such an expression?

After entering the room, Kurokawa sat in front of the living room. Kiemon noticed that this is the posture that monks pose when they practice. The left and right feet are on the lap. It is a sitting posture that tests the body's toughness and endurance. It is called lotus sitting. That said, because the reputation of tanuki is often associated with temples, Kiemon has also heard about many monks.

"Tell me what happened to you these days."

There was an eye on the road, and it was hard for him to ask, so he couldn't help asking when he got home.

How could such a big change happen?

His appearance was still the same as when he left, and even the length of his eyebrows hadn't changed.

But the momentum of the whole body has undergone a great change.

"This one."

Kurokawa unhurriedly took out his pipe, a faint blue flame rose from his fingertips, and a puff of fine white smoke rose.

"Where do we start?"

……

"impossible."

After hearing what Kurokawa said about the situation, Kiemon jumped on the windowsill in fright. How could human beings live so long? Kurokawa must be lying to him.

"Are you hiding something?"

"What's there to hide?"

Kurokawa asked back.

"But it's impossible..."

Kiemon walked around the room anxiously, "I am a monster with a wide social network. If there are such humans, I will definitely hear about it."

"But don't talk about you, I've never heard of the other person's name."

Maybe it's because Kurokawa and Xu often change their identities.

However, Kurokawa did not explain this matter himself.

He slowly exhaled the smoke, quietly looking at the mahogany table in front of him, and the old TV set on one side, all of which were very strange. On the way here, those speeding trams and tall buildings made him feel at a loss, although These are all things in memory, but his mouth and nose still seem to be the fireworks of Edo or something farther away, which belongs to the bloody and fighting on the battlefield.

Kurokawa didn't intentionally control the smoke. The white mist spread out irregularly, rising slowly, spreading into a thin cloud and floating on the roof.

"Kiemon."

"It's a pleasure to see you."

Kiemon frowned, and said viciously, "What, why are you saying such things all of a sudden?"

"Just wanted to say it."

"If you mind, take it back."

"Oh--"

"You human being, if you say something and then take it back, you really don't mean it sincerely."

"But it's really nice to see you."

"It's as if a traveler walked through a long desert and saw a spring at the last moment. That kind of happiness cannot be expressed in words, nor can it be controlled by the body. Something like gold gushes out from the heart."

Kiemon tried hard to hold back the corner of his mouth that rose.

Showing a fierce cat expression: "I know, I know, I really can't stand you, and you will say such things as soon as you come back."

He said that he didn't mind what happened during the month when Kurokawa disappeared, but he cared so much to death, probably this is the nature of cats, curiosity killed cats.

He secretly asked in the circle of monster friends if there were any undead people in the world, but he didn't expect a person he had never met before to add him as a friend, saying that he wanted to ask something.

"Hello there!"

"I may have news about the undead, but I still want to ask, why do you want to inquire about this?"

"Just curious."

"Curious..."

The other party has no more text.

Early the next morning, Kiemon heard someone knocking on the door. He stared through the peephole for a while and found that it was Ichimoku, "Why are you here?" Kiemon opened the door to let Ichimoku in.

Ichimoku held a fruit basket and other visiting gifts in his hand, "Come and pay a visit, by the way, this is the third-generation general of our Nuliang team, Nuliang Rikusheng."

A short junior high school student appeared from behind Ichime, wearing big glasses, looking like a young and innocent elementary school student.

"You, hello."

"Um……"

Kiemon didn't know if he would get the chance to overthrow the third general and become the fourth general if he went to the Nuragumi now.

"Is your chief general a human?"

Yimu puffed up his chest and said solemnly: "Please don't say that, the wisdom and martial arts of our three generations of generals cannot be expressed in words!"

"He is the grandson of a first-generation general and the son of a second-generation general."

"A half-demon with a quarter of the blood of a slippery ghost."

"Half-demons are also very strong, Kiemon, you are not allowed to discriminate against species."

Kiemon called the two of them to come in, turned around and went to the living room to make tea for them, "There is nothing good at home, please forgive the poor hospitality, I don't know whether you want tea or fruit juice."

He glanced at Nuliang Rikusheng, "Is milk okay?"

Nuliang Rikuo was still a little uncomfortable being looked at by a bobtail cat like this.

He is a slippery ghost and the third general of the Nuliang group. Since the Edo period, the slippery ghost has the duty of mediating disputes between monsters. Of course, he also has the indispensable factor of strength.

This time, I was entrusted by my grandfather to ask why the current bobtail cat asked about undead people.

Nuliang Rikusheng didn't know what this incident meant, but his grandfather looked very solemn at the time, and said to himself: "Why would someone ask about such a thing?"

As the general of the Nuliang Group, this burden fell on him.

The short-tailed cat in front of me stood up on its hind legs, and opened the refrigerator with its cat's paw very skillfully, "I'm very glad that the two guests can come, but I wonder if we can keep our voice down in the next conversation."

He turned his cat face apologetically, "There are still people resting in the bedroom inside."

While he was talking, the bedroom door opened, and a lazy man with a monk's robe that was skewed and couldn't fall off pulled the door out. He opened his eyes sleepily, and the inside was foggy. He had obviously just woken up. He saw Glancing at all the monsters in the living room, he seemed to be wondering why there were guests at this time, but he reacted very quickly, "There were birds coming to announce the good news when it was still early. I thought something good would happen, but I didn't expect it to be between the two of you." body."

The man turned his head to look at Kiemon: "Where are these two distinguished guests, do you need me to go out and buy something?"
