[Noragami] I was not there

Bishamon was undoubtedly a little tired when she returned to Gao Tianyuan's mansion, but she would not show this emotion, especially in front of her own artifact, she always had to be stronger than anyone else.

The wind cave in the distance suddenly opened, and the number of monsters surged up from the depths of the underworld, and many undead were affected around it. On the way to clean the wind cave, Bishamon has received many new artifacts. But for her who already has many artifacts, one more artifact is an extra burden on her body, and before she knows it, she already needs to rely on external objects to relieve her temporary fatigue.

But Bishamonten is the strongest warrior and the master of all artifacts, so no matter how hard she tries, she will continue to persevere and save more undead who are haunted and persecuted by demons.

"Weina, please stop pushing yourself so hard."

A familiar male voice came from next to his ear, and Bishamon, who had just introduced the newly received artifact to everyone, paused slightly, only that he could not hide anything in front of him.

"I didn't force myself." She opened her slightly closed eyes and said without hesitation, "I am also very aware of my physical condition."

"Did you mean relying on Lu Ba's medicine and divine water?!" Zhao Ma couldn't help but raise her voice, and then she felt that something was wrong when the words came out. She lifted her glasses and lowered her voice, "... …Feel sorry."

"It's okay." Bishamon understood that Zhaoma was just in a hurry, and he didn't mean to blame him, and even his expression of strength softened, "Saving those lives that can't be saved in this world is the duty of our gods."

"But what about after that?... What they need is not just being rescued like that." Zhao Ma covered her eyes and looked a little lonely, "Are you really laughing? How long has it been since you told them well, Wei Na? Have you ever said that? Have you really thought about what will happen after you save them?... As a named parent, shouldn't you be a little self-conscious?"

"Enough." Bishamon said softly, but with a firm tone, "I want to be alone, Zhaoma, you don't have to follow me anymore."

Zhao Ma opened her mouth to say something more, but finally gave up: "... yes."

He withdrew from the posture of the ear studs and recovered his human form, and stood behind Bishamon on the right and bowed to her. He saw her walking away and stopped again, and the adult's steady voice came from the front. ——

"I will not repeat the mistakes of Xunma again, and such things will never happen again."

"..."

"Soon, everything will pass soon." Bishamon looked ahead calmly, the emotion in his eyes was slowly frozen by hatred, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, "As long as that person dies."

I don't know how long the person in front of me walked, Zhao Ma straightened her bent back slowly, and said slowly after a long silence: "Weina, as a beacon, can I really guide you correctly?"

As if thinking of something, he turned his eyes to a certain direction behind him. Maybe he should complete what he promised to that person, but he didn't lift up his footsteps to turn around and leave. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Bishamon The direction to go -

that is……?

That's right, it was indeed him, but why did he appear there?

Zhao Ma frowned and hurried towards the direction of the bathing pool.

--coming.

Yato, who was hiding at the bottom of the pool again, noticed it the moment Bishamon entered. He was holding on to the wooden stick produced by Ugaya that Kanaki gave him, plus the enchantment that was only effective for 6 minutes against the gods. He could only quietly observe the situation at the moment and wait patiently for the most suitable time to make a move.

Yes, this is Dongzeliao's plan.

Only at this time is the strongest warrior whose clothes are artifacts, the most defenseless, and even his physical condition is at the lowest point. This is the only chance for Yato, who has no artifacts, to compete with her.

A god without an artifact can do nothing, and that applies to all gods.

But as for what Yato can do, it is up to him. As long as Kanaki and Tozawa Ryo can find Yukine and successfully bring it out, their plan will be considered a success.

"Why didn't you drag Bishamon? Ah Xi and I went to find Xue Yin!" Yato was also quite upset about this issue, and he had a big opinion on the fact that these two people were out of his sight.

Dong Zeliao just shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "If you think it's better for you who don't even know the way to find Xueyin, then I can only silently bless you."

"..." Yedou choked.

"Ah, maybe I'll go alone, it sounds good to let Axi stay and fight with you."

"..." Yedou choked again, and in the end he could only grit his teeth and beat the poisonous tongue a hundred times in his heart, because he had to admit that what he said was indeed very reasonable, so he could only turn to the side pitifully. Kanaki, who started to prepare for exercise, said, "Axi, you must not run away with this kid."

Kanaki paused, couldn't help but hold his forehead, and gave Yato a hug: "Don't worry, I can't run away, I will definitely find Yukine."

"Well, you have to be careful." Yato rubbed her hair in satisfaction, and by the way gave a provocative glance at Dong Zeliao who was acting as if he couldn't bear to look any longer.

But even though I said that, can the development of things really go as smoothly as planned?

Kanaki, who was hiding above the entrance, also silently watched Bishamon take off his coat and slowly walk into the bath filled with divine water. Although it was a bit out of date, she really wanted to praise her good figure.

...Wait, from this angle, isn't Yato who is waiting at the bottom of the water just right enough to see clearly? !

Kanaki's face darkened, and she didn't see the black-haired boy next to her sticking out his tongue as if gloating.

Yato under the water was indeed as Kanaki expected. He couldn't help blinking his eyes several times when he looked up. He didn't know if it was an illusion. I could hold it in my hand, and I was so surprised that my mouth opened up stupidly, and I didn't cover my mouth until I was poured a big mouthful of water.

But the air has been unable to avoid rising up, causing the water surface that was originally calm due to Bishamon's light sleep to be suddenly disturbed. Although it is only a slight change, it can be perceived in an instant by a god like Bishamon. , she opened her eyes suddenly and raised her voice, "Who?!"

Tsk, that's bad.

Yato frowned, knowing that his existence had been exposed, he reached out and grabbed the long golden hair that was just dangling in front of his eyes, and pulled it down forcefully.

Bishamon was taken aback, he never thought that he would be caught by the hair, so he slipped his feet and fell into the water.

And Yato, who was originally underwater, jumped to the surface of the water with his strength, raised his head and said sharply to Kanaki and Dongzawa Ryo who were hiding above: "Let's go!"

Things developed so suddenly, before Kanagi could recover, Dongzawa Liao grabbed his wrist and jumped off the eaves. Before hearing her footsteps, she hurriedly turned her head to look at Yato, only to see that the blond woman had disappeared from the eaves. Jumping out of the water, wrapped in a yukata, he reached out to twist Yato who was still looking at her.

"be careful!"

Yato was startled, but the wind was passing behind him, he turned sharply to resist Bishamon's attack, but he was also pressed against his body, and the opponent firmly stopped his arm without retreating half a step.

Bishamon saw the face of the person below him clearly, and it turned out to be the God of Misfortune who was supposed to be waiting in the dungeon for punishment from heaven. Her rationality was completely burnt out by the anger, and she almost gritted her teeth and said sharply: "Why are you here?!"

"I miss you." Ye Dou laughed indifferently, but his subordinates did not relax for a moment, thinking that they would hold her back no matter what.

Bishamon raised his head and looked in the direction of Kanaki, and recognized her back at a glance. It was the human being who was with Yato at the Kishimo Shrine. Sure enough, they were in the same group, so she would not let her go. It's the second time.

She lifted her leg up, aimed at Yato's abdomen, and kicked him fiercely, kicking him several meters hard and hitting the wall, then turned around and ran towards the door, easily catching up with him and still not running far Kanaki, as long as you reach out, you can grab her back.

"..."

In a momentary loss of consciousness, Bishamon's raised hand actually waved away. She was stunned for a moment and then looked forward. The woman who was able to catch it a second ago had already run away in just a moment, and her vision appeared absolute. deviation, but this kind of thing is definitely not something a human or a half-demon can do.

"This ability is..."

Bishamon froze for the moment, completely forgetting that there was still an opponent behind her. She just looked at the direction in which the girl was leaving in disbelief. Big, because the last thing she saw was the back that she was familiar with——

"It's really you."

Betrayed, she was betrayed by her artifact...betrayed.

Kanaki successfully escaped Bishamon's pursuit, which was undoubtedly due to Tozawa Ryo's help at the end, but he also said before that he couldn't really take a shot at Bishamon who almost gave him another life, but in the end Or choose to save Shen Naxi first.

"Sorry, Mr. Thief." She looked at Dong Zeliao with some unease, and the latter's expression was also more ugly than ever.

Dong Zeliao knew very well that as long as he did it himself, Bishamon, who was familiar with his abilities, would definitely notice him, but at that time he had no choice but to think too much.

"It's okay." As if he had made up his mind, Dong Zeliao's eyes sank, "If something like that happens again, it's useless to avoid it."

"...Huh?" Kanaki didn't understand what Dong Zeliao was referring to, but just about to ask him, a young man suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

Dong Zeliao also stopped, watching someone call out his name: "...Zhaoma."

"I didn't expect you to betray Wei Na." Zhao Ma looked coldly at the young man who had only been with him for a few months. He heard Bishamen praise his outstanding ability more than once, but the more he was like this, the more he felt Unable to accept the facts before them.

"If it is said that I betrayed the eldest lady, wouldn't Mrs. Zhaoma do the same?" Dong Zeliao did not back down, but counterattacked Zhaoma somewhat naturally.

Zhaoma's face changed slightly, realizing that the agreement between himself and Yato might have been known by the boy in front of him. He turned to look at Kanaki on the other side. Although there was a relationship, the other party was himself who had never seen a human form at all. Yes, the eyes looking at him at the moment are both curious and defensive, he can probably guess what's going on, but as a human being, he doesn't hesitate to become a half-demon to come here to save a god, he doesn't know what to say To say admiration is to curse stupidity.

He withdrew his gaze, and continued to walk quickly towards the bathtub, leaving only one sentence: "He is in Wei Na's room."

Kanagi looked at the back of the person leaving, compared to walking around mindlessly, locking the position saved a lot of time, she couldn't help but said to the person in a volume that could just be heard: "Thank you!"

Fortunately, due to the addition of new members, most of the artifacts are in the lobby, and with the cover of Dong Zeliao along the way, Kanaki arrived at Bishamon's room as quickly as possible, which is where Xueyin was placed after being brought back .

She only saw Xueyin who was trapped by the rope at a glance. He still kept the shape of a knife, no matter how much he shouted, he did not respond.

"He took Lu Ba's medicine and was given a spell, so he won't be able to wake up for a while." Dong Zeliao explained to the anxious girl, "But it should be fine in the hands of the master."

"Then let's go and bring Yukino back to Yato!" Kanaki recalled the brief fight by the bathing pool just now, even though neither of them had a magic weapon, Yato still couldn't get anything cheap, the other party was the last one after all. Strong Valkyrie.

As Kannaki said, she was about to pick up the sleeping Xueyin, but she didn't expect to be grabbed by the wrist by someone else, and after taking a few steps away, she looked at him with some confusion: "...Mr. Thief? "

"You should be relieved when you see that Xueyin is fine, so leave the rest to me. I will bring Xueyin back to God Yedou. With the artifact, you don't have to worry about whether he can escape Gao Tianyuan." Dong Zeliao looked at Kanaki seriously, there was no room for negotiation in his words, and he put what he really wanted to express in the last sentence, "So Axi, you should leave quickly, even if it is only for a moment, please Don't stay in this place anymore."

Kanagi looked at Dong Zeliao and did not respond. She might be looking for something in his expression, and she might have found it in the end. She only said one word: "Okay."
