[Noragami] I was not there

The wind hole is wide open, and the monsters spurt out along with the foul wind, descending on the world to wreak havoc.

And the only god closest to this place is Xiaofu, the poor god is not a martial god, and the only artifact, Dahei, is not an offensive weapon. At this time, it must not be a good thing to encounter a relatively powerful demon They didn't know the identity of the man Yato called his father at all?What about strength?

Fortunately, he didn't seem to have any plans to fight them.

"Xiaofu?" Dahei who turned into a fan asked the master in a low voice. They have been on guard against this person for long enough. Seeing that there are more and more monsters leaving Huangquan from the wind cave, they can't wait here for too long.

Xiaofu thought about it carefully, then looked at the crying woman lying on the side, and had to agree with Dahei's thoughts: "Well, in short, get her back first, and then we can think of a way."

Dahei broke away from Xiaofu's hand and turned into a human form. With one hand, he knocked away a few monsters that were about to pounce on him. He covered his mouth and nose and walked for a while before reaching the woman's side. He shouted to her, "Hey, are you okay?!"

Honma Qihai was just crying in a low voice, chanting non-stop, as if she didn't hear Dahei's voice at all, her eyes just stared blankly at Li Linrun who was not far away, that look As if to kill him: "Obviously I have done so many things for you, obviously I have lost time and life for you, how can you do this to me?! How can you do this to me?!"

Speaking of the excitement, Honma Nanami suddenly stood up, staggered to rush towards Li Linjun, but was knocked unconscious by Dahei behind him before taking two steps.

"It's really troublesome." Dahei was speechless. After driving away the demon attached to the woman, he carried her on his shoulder and threw her into the car. What are you going to do.

In fact, Li Linjun was just in a daze. He poked half of his chopsticks on the ground to pick up sand and played, thinking about what tricks he should think of in the future before sneaking into the underworld to find Izanami to get a new word from underworld.

"Ah, it's so troublesome." He scratched his hair annoyedly, decided not to think about it anymore, and turned to Nora, "Hey, Chi, let's go home, I'm so tired."

"But what about Yato?" Nora still smiled faintly, but she was indeed a little worried about Yato, it would be very dangerous to rely on that little boy in Huangquan without her.

"Don't worry, that kid will be fine." Li Linjun stood up and patted the dust on his body, but when he was about to leave, he found Yato's god friend who seemed unwilling to give way, the burly artifact blocking the way He was looking at himself unhappily, "Oh, what a terrible look, but if I really want to leave, what can you do?"

Dahei blocked the way of Li Linjun and Nora. Although he was not sure that he could deal with him, it didn't mean he just watched the culprit leave so frankly. He turned his head slightly and asked the opinion of his goddess behind him: "Hey , Xiaofu, what should I do?"

"..." Xiaofu looked at the man not far away. She really didn't know what kind of power he had, but if he is the one who has been imprisoning Yato, then he must be an ordinary human being...so let him Leaving is the safest way?

Li Linjun looked at the pink-haired poor god and her artifact. To be honest, he really didn't want to confront the god head-on right now, but he was in a bad mood right now. He stretched out his hand, crooked He lowered his head and called softly: "Come here, Chiqi."

As soon as the words fell, Nora disappeared instantly, and the man had a Zen stick in his hand, and he pointed it at the artifact that blocked his way.

"I'm really sorry, there is only one artifact." Li Linjun covered his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, "But I will lose it immediately."

Xiaofu felt ominous in her heart, the man's expression was really dangerous, she hurriedly shouted to Dahei: "Aheihei! Get out of the way!"

It's just that the man's voice has already moved before falling, and Dahei didn't even see the opponent's movement clearly, the Zen stick was only a finger's width away from him——

Tch, is it too late?

And at this moment, a knife suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slashed at the Zen staff fiercely, blocking the man's movements in a flash.

"...!!" Dahei opened his eyes wide, looking at the person who rescued him in disbelief, and the goddess behind him had already called out his name for him——

"Night fight!!"

The young god in sportswear blocked the backhand and gave the man another blow, forcing him to step back a few steps before closing his knife and landing firmly. It was indeed the Yato they were familiar with.

"I knew you would come back." Li Linjun was not surprised at all, but smiled very relieved on the contrary.

"Ah." Yeto looked coldly at the man who actually moved his hands towards the gods, raised his hand and pointed the snow weapon at him, and said flatly, "Crawled back from the bottom of the underworld."

"That's right, I also want to ask, where did you hide my words of the underworld?" The man said and cast his gaze behind the young god. The appearance of a girl who looked like a human really surprised him Disappointed, "Hey, my lovely Axi? Or, Jiuyin?"

Kanahi's expression remained unchanged, and now she will no longer be shaken by this kind of language estrangement, but speaking of it, she really accidentally brought out the language of the underworld that he wanted.

"It seems that you really want that thing." Kanaki also suddenly raised a smiling face, regardless of whether it looks good or not, she quickly teleported to the edge of Fengxue before Li Linjun answered, so she can do it now It was impossible for Kuribayashi Jun to keep up with his full speed.

Li Linjun was taken aback for a moment, but quickly smiled calmly: "Yes, I really want it very much, that's why I was so angry when I found out that Axi made a move."

Kanaki took out the brand-new "Huang Quan Zhi Yu" from his arms, and then obviously saw the slight change in Kuribayashi Jun's complexion. It couldn't be better.

"I'm really curious, what kind of power does the language of the underworld have that can fascinate you so much? It seems that it's not as simple as communicating with monsters."

"Ah, if Ah Xi wants to know, of course I can tell you slowly." Li Linjun stretched out his hand to her and asked for it, and then continued, "As long as Ah Xi can return the words of hell to me."

"That would be great, but—"

Kanaki paused, and looked at such a small pen in her hand. She really couldn't imagine that this thing would have such a great magic power, but it didn't matter, because she had already made a decision, "I don't want to hear it."

After saying this, Kanaki casually tossed the words of Huangquan in his hand to the wind point behind him, as if he was throwing a finished milk Tetra Pak.

Li Linrun's eyes widened, and he ran to the entrance of the wind cave at high speed, but it was too late. The language of Huang Quan, which he tried so hard to bring out of Huang Quan, was thrown out of the wind cave, and was instantly swallowed up by the darkness below.

"..."

The hypocritical mask of his smile finally completely shattered at this moment. He looked at the girl who was still calm and composed, his narrow eyes revealed a dangerous light, and his voice was so cold that there was no warmth——

"In this case, let's show Axi a little bit, the power of the words of the underworld."

The man's anger was unstoppable, he couldn't get what he wanted and was hindered by Kanaki one after another, he no longer planned to continue this game.He took out his own language of the underworld, waved it casually a few times, and several charms appeared in the air, firmly pinning the monsters gushing out of the wind cave. The monsters landed beside him in an instant, roaring and roaring at Kanaki one after another.

Seeing this, Yetou turned around and said to Xiaofu and Dahei, "You guys go first! Find a nearby shrine! The wind cave here must have attracted their attention! Leave it to us first!"

Xiaofu hesitated a bit, but thought that there was a human being in the car, and knew that this was the best way, so he followed Dahei and got into the car together——

"Yatoudou! Axixi! And Xiaoxueyin! You have to be careful!"

Yato held Xueyin tightly, and said softly: "You really have to be careful, Xueyin, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xueyin responded, although it was difficult to overcome the fear of the dark, but at this time, I can only fight desperately.

However, having said that, Yato never thought of actually fighting with his father. After all, he was a god born in his wish. If he disappeared, it would probably affect his own existence, and the other A more important reason is that he is not the opponent of the old man at all.

Yato killed many monsters with Yuki's voice, but he couldn't get close to Kuribayashi Jun at all. He could only watch him holding the Zen staff from a distance, with an annoying smile like watching a play.

But what if it's really close? ...If Xue Yin was poked by Nora, the memory of her death would be completely liberated, and the result would be disastrous.

……In the end how to do?

Kuribayashi Jun looked at Yato with satisfaction, he knew what he was worried about, he just knew his son too well, but——

"Hey, Chi, the child in Yato's hand now seems to be interesting."

He is obviously a kid who has only recently become an artifact, yet he has such a talent.

"Put away your curiosity a little bit, but your performance is really wonderful."

Li Linrun was taken aback for a moment, when the all-too-familiar female voice sounded from behind him.

"Unfortunately, you seem to have forgotten one thing."

"...!!" Li Linrun's eyes widened suddenly, and when he turned around, he saw the girl clinging to him at some point. This was the first time he showed a shocked expression.

--Oops!

He was about to break her away with his technique, but the fingers and wrists he had just stretched out felt a heart-pounding pain, and the scene in front of him was splashed with warm blood red, dotted across his face.

The girl who was close at hand continued to speak indifferently: "I am also a demon."

Immediately there was a murderous aura coming from ahead, and the moment he came back to his senses, what caught his eyes was the blue sky and white clouds that were unexpectedly good except for the monsters running around all over the sky, and among them was the young man who held up his divine weapon and slashed at him. God, indifferent expression and cold eyes...

"Father," Nora anxiously called Kuribin Jun, and the smile like a doll finally disappeared.

It will be cut off with a single knife.

Kuribayashi Jun curled the corners of his mouth, and chose to close his eyes at this moment, and the head-on knife wind swept the hair on his forehead.

He suddenly remembered a long, long time ago, when Yato was still a little child, and when he was held in his arms and held high, he would still show a sweet smile.

Ah, I really miss that time...

Li Linrun opened his eyes, the little child was standing in front of him now, he suddenly smiled: "It seems that you are just a child, Yebu."

At his feet was the Yumi Yuki cut in two, and Yato's knife did not cut at him after all.

The girl behind him had already left him, and there was a glaring charm on her neck, and the illusion beside the wind cave in the distance also disappeared.He really didn't expect that she not only remembered the past, but also regained her demon body, and even used his demon-controlling technique to cling to his back and sneak attack. It's a pity that his words of the underworld have been damaged to the point where she lost control of her demon body power up.

He shook his head with some regret, and had to say——well done.

"Father, I won't really do anything to you." Yato raised his snow weapon and pointed it at Li Linjun's neck with a stern face. He said resolutely, "It is true that I was born because of you, but that doesn't mean , my future life must also be controlled by you."

"..." Li Linrun still smiled without saying a word, just listening silently.

"So..." Yato held Yukine tightly in his hands, and shouted out what was in his heart, "I want to live as myself! A god who brings happiness to those around me!"

Kuribayashi Jun still had that expression, and Yato's words would not bring him any impact or influence at all. After pretending to think for a while, he said: "I really have a pursuit, Yabu, it's just in my wish The God of Misfortune who was born, but wants to become the God of Fortune."

"..." Yato suddenly opened his eyes wide, but he really had no words to refute, and even Xue Yin could feel the slight tremor in his hand.

"So what? As long as you are sincerely helping humans, so what if it was born in your wish?" Kanaki walked over, she grabbed Yato's trembling hand firmly, and gave him a gift while looking into his eyes. Firm confidence, "He will definitely be remembered and wished among different human beings again. One day, Yato will become a god who is famous all over the world and stands at the apex of Japan, with 2000 million believers."

Yato was shocked by Kanaki's words, he took a while to laugh, but his voice was hoarse and low with a faint cry: "So it's so embarrassing to listen to my own lines."

But he didn't tremble any more, he clenched Kanaki's hand - that's right, he would no longer live for the man in front of him, he wanted to become... a real god!

"That's it..." Li Linrun covered his eyes and paused for a moment, then suddenly raised a smile in the next second, even if he patted his forearm after losing his right hand, he would applaud him, and took the opportunity to talk and started to walk, " I have to praise you for your lofty ambitions. As a father, I am sad and contradictory when I see my children want to disobey their parents. But since you have said so, it seems a bit too much if I hit your self-confidence again. It's unreasonable, but—”

Li Linrun stopped suddenly, raised his toes and tapped the ground lightly, and the purpose spell appeared on the ground, and a giant bird with a head and a face rose up in the dim light, with its five-meter-long wings spread and flapping, sending out A shrill cry.

Yato stretched out his hand to block the wind and sand blown up by the giant bird's wings, and subconsciously protected Kanagi behind him. He had never figured out what kind of strength the man he called his father possessed.

He was already ready to fight with it, but what he didn't expect was that after the giant bird appeared, Li Linjun just jumped up and sat down firmly, and Nora on the side also stepped on the back of the giant bird. .

The giant bird screamed into the sky, and its feet were about to fly off the ground. The man said to Yetou on the ground: "But it is said that the tired bird returns to the forest at dusk. Yebu, you will still answer me as a father after all." .”

"..."

"Ah, but next time we meet again, it won't be this face again. In order not to leave any regrets, let's take a photo together." Li Linrun leaned down half of his body in a good mood, but obviously the other party didn't like it. After accepting this suggestion, he had no choice but to come back awkwardly, "It seems that you are not in the mood anymore."

It took Yato a lot of effort to control his face from twitching, he was really clueless about this man!

"Then goodbye, Yebu, Xueyin... and Axi."

Li Linjun smiled and waved at them, and smiled even brighter when his eyes moved to the girl. Unfortunately, his stupid son blocked his sight in the next second, but——

"Forget it." Li Linjun patted the head of the giant bird, signaling to leave.

After flying to the highest point, Nora, who had been silent all this time, leaned on Li Linrun's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Father, are you leaving like this?"

"It's okay, I have to give my son in the rebellious period some sweetness in life." Li Linrun stretched his waist, tugged at the back of his neck, which was a little overworked, and accidentally pulled the severed hand, gasping for breath in pain Angry, "Also, I have to find a new body soon. Warlocks who can't use their hands sound inferior."

"What about Jiu Yin? Don't you care?"

"Jiuyin..." Li Linrun narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "It's a pity, but even if I get Jiuyin now, it will be a bit troublesome, after all, there are no new words of hell, and I don't want to Now I'm going to meet that one, but this also relieved my doubts a little bit, why Jiuyin was able to return to the present world from the underworld... She is really a girl who is favored by "Heaven" in the true sense, but this time she can still It’s hard to say if you can’t continue to be favored.”

"..." Nora stopped talking after hearing these words, her father's decision was not wrong, she lowered her head and smiled, and replied lightly, "Yes, my lord father."

Kuribayashi Jun readily took out a writing brush from his pocket and played with it. It turned out to be the language of Huangquan that had been chopped off and fell to the ground just now. He also learned a little bit of the same trick from Kanaki, but this old one After all, Huang Quan's language is only available for a limited time, it seems that he has to think of a new way.

Li Linjun scratched his hair in distress, propped his chin and looked at the girl beside him: "Chi, how about I find a high school student full of vigor for my body this time?"

"...?"

"Long live youth, of course!"

<<

Yato finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Kuribayashi Jun and Nora had really left, and actually said that to such a terrible father.

... He was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

He wiped his sore eyes hard, maybe everything could really be over, his life finally began to become meaningful at this moment!

"Axi!" He turned excitedly and looked at the girl beside him. He had a lot to say to her, but when he met her gaze, he was completely stunned, and he was instantly swallowed up by great fear, "... A Xi."

Half of the girl's body has been completely demonized, with black hard scales covering her feet to her shoulders, her short hair reaching to the ground, the veins on her forehead bursting out, and the pupil on her right constantly changing between golden and black. struggle.

"Ye, Yetou..." She raised her hand to cover her face helplessly, and then she saw her current self in the eyes facing him, a self like a ghost, "How could this be..."

"Axi, Axi is the concubine of the country! Don't be afraid!"

"Who is this?! It's not me!" Kanaki grabbed her face fiercely, her bright red sharp nails tore the skin on her face.

Ye Dou took her hand to prevent her from hurting herself again: "Axi, calm down!"

But the wound on her face didn't last long at all. Something protruded from her wound, and after wriggling a few times, it quickly repaired the damage, and it healed perfectly in just an instant. She could even feel that thing was in the wound The ins and outs of her face, she looked at her hands, her voice trembling: "...I became a monster?"

Yato stretched out his arms to hug Kanaki, not letting her look at him: "It's okay, Axi."

"No... I was originally a monster." Kanaki grabbed Yato's clothes in pain, she could feel that she was slowly changing, and even her mind began to gradually blur, and the familiar feeling returned, " Yato, I'm so scared... I don't want to become a monster, I don't want... I don't want to kill people again."

Yukine changed back into a human form from Yato's hand. He looked anxiously at Kanaki's gradually changing body, but he didn't know what to do, so he yelled at Yato: "How could this happen?! Didn't Aki have changed? Are you back?! Why is this happening again?!"

Yato frowned, what he didn't want to say was the cruel fact.

"Because I'm already a demon, and once I cross the limit, I can't go back." Kanaki broke away from Yato's embrace, and took a few steps back, "You guys leave me quickly...I have, already... ..."

——I can't help but want to eat you all.

Kanagi knew clearly that she was dying, and the only thing to be thankful for was that the contract between her and Yato was broken by Jun Kuribayashi just now, and he would not be stabbed again, but she also accelerated her speed. Without the speed of demonization, what she does after losing her mind will definitely be the same as that of the fallen demon queen. Maybe it's endless slaughter, maybe it's wandering forever in the dark night. She doesn't want that kind of ending, not at all... …In that case, she would rather simply—

"Yato, Yukine..." When the other half of the human body gradually turned into a demon, she whispered their names, probably the last and most important request in life, "I beg you—"

"Axi! Don't say it!" Yetou hastily interrupted her, he already knew what kind of request she would make.

"Please kill me..."

"Are you kidding me, Axi!" Xueyin rushed forward excitedly, and shouted loudly at Kannaki, "How could I attack you?! Absolutely impossible!"

"Axue is right, let's think of other ways, shall we? Let's go to Xiaofu, let's go to Yukaya, there must be other ways." Yeto suppressed the grief and pulled the corners of his mouth. Everyone knew that once the demon fell, he couldn't turn back, but he no longer wanted... really didn't want to end the life of the most important person by himself, there was nothing more cruel than this.

Kanaki shed tears in pain during the great physical and mental torture. She could no longer control her hands and feet. Just suppressing the desire for the gods and artifacts in front of her had exhausted all her strength. She bit herself hard. She felt sick at the taste of blood on her lower lip.

"Sorry, Yato, I'm afraid I'm going to make you do something nasty again."

"A Xi……"

"A Xi!!"

There was no other choice, she closed her eyes, death might be the best ending for Kanaki as a monster, but at the end she heard the familiar female voice again——

"There is still a way."

Uno Sanqian suddenly appeared in front of the three of them at this time, she looked embarrassed, but still said with certainty: "Really, there is still a way."
