Crown Master

People and ghosts go hand in hand, no matter how many mountains and rivers are sent down, there will always be an end to the journey.

It's just that before reaching the legendary ending, neither of the two parties showed any special performance.

And before entering the divergence point of history, such an incident happened the night of staying in the ruined temple.

Maybe it's because Gu Dazi really took care of the strange woman he carried with him, and even warmed the bag of roasted sweet rice he bought on the fire, and gave it away directly.

The woman traveling with her thanked her, picked up the roasted sweet rice wrapped in dried bamboo leaves, and put it in her mouth in a strange way.

Big monsters generally do not eat human food, because it is unpalatable.

But this bag of baked sweet rice tastes surprisingly good, sweet.

Gu Dazi was on the opposite side of the fire, watching him with a smile and concentrating on eating. After watching for a while, he felt that he was worthy of being the same "Ibaraki Doji" and also loved sweets.

After eating half of it, Ibaraki Doji, who noticed something strange in her eyesight, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Dazi shook his head: "Rest early, we have to hurry tomorrow."

Ibaraki Doji: "Oh." He didn't put down the bag of roasted sweet rice.

Gudazi thought: Well, it’s kinda cute←v←

Afterwards, the fire burned all night, and the sound of birds chirping in the morning came from outside the temple. The coolness of the dew accompanied by moisture reverberated under the nose, and the sleeping people woke up one by two.

Gu Dazi yawned and went to open the door or something, hurriedly stood there with the dew on his sleeves, wiped his face with the dew, and set off with the woman again.

Along the way, Gudazi carefully found that the woman's spirit was not very good, and asked her why, but she didn't say anything, but the bag of roasted sweet rice seemed to be eaten completely.

Gudazi wondered, could something have happened?

After thinking like this, he didn't turn his head to look at the "beautiful woman" who was staring at his back fiercely.

Gudazi: ←_← What happened?

In fact, last night, Ibaraki Doji considered a night attack, but because it was implemented, it became a secret.

At that time, while Gudazi was sleeping soundly, the woman lying on her side in the dark opened her green eyes, and when her slender fingers reached for the spiritual knife at the waist of her companion, the shadow cast on the wall turned into sharp claws After a while, even his figure was blurred into a tall ghost.

Seeing that Higakiri was about to fall into Ibaraki Doji's hands, the bag of roasted sweet rice hidden in his sleeve rolled out in bewilderment.

Rolled slowly to Gudazi's side.

Ibaraki Doji: "..."

Although there was no change in breath, the shadow on the wall gradually lost its ferocious posture.

As the price for the failure of the night attack, Ibaraki Doji ate up the bag of roasted sweet rice viciously!

Gudazi didn't see it, but it didn't mean Ibaraki Doji wasn't depressed, so early in the morning, his resentful pupils never left her back, which made Gudazi baffled.

Ibaraki Doji couldn't figure out why he would voluntarily give up such a good opportunity.

After the mood became complicated, Ibaraki and Gudazi also began to feel restless along the way.

The first existence they arrived together was also the village where Ibaraki Doji was supposed to complete the vest-cutting with her and fight a lot. Because of Gudazi's acquaintance, the two are still in a team state.

But team formation is team formation, and the master of Chaldea has no reason to worry about not getting rid of demons if there are more ghosts in the team, right?

According to her old habit, when she arrived in the village, she asked seriously if there was any monster harming people nearby. Usually, when people saw her holding a knife and looking like a handsome samurai, she would almost always tell her recent troubles, and she was not vague. After opening the gates of those monsters, almost every time I go out, I have to add a few more halos to the name Tsuna Watanabe.

This time too, the old man she questioned looked sallow, and although the house looked not solid, it was self-sufficient, and no one would starve to death, but it was gloomy and gloomy.

A village is shrouded in this range, and Gu Dazi narrowed his eyes: "But is there a monster?"

The old man raised his head, showing timidity when he saw a nobleman, and sorrow for his own misfortune.

Seeing this, Gu Dazi squatted down and asked patiently: "Old man, if there is anything difficult to say, I won't ask, but I want to know, are there many people like you in this village? Are you Not bothered by the same thing?"

The old man looked at her complicatedly, then nodded imperceptibly.

"Thank you old man." Gudazi thanked softly.

After seeing him return, Ibaraki Doji asked in surprise, "Why did you come back?"

Gu Dazi was stunned, and said with a smile: "I have asked all I can ask, why can't I come back?"

Ibaraki Doji frowned: "You already know what monsters are here?"

Gu Dazi nodded: "Obviously."

Ibaraki Doji: "..."

Gudazi smiled and said, "You don't believe it?"

Ibaraki Doji looked away from her, and his eyes fell on this unremarkable village.

However, there are more than [-] households and ordinary mortal villages. Such places are not worth visiting by big monsters. Most of them are small monsters, but if they are small monsters, these mortals will not keep their mouths shut. Talk, as if saying one more sentence will usher in a catastrophe...

Ibaraki Doji knew the real body of the monster from the monster's aura almost as soon as he stepped into the village, but he didn't believe that this person could judge the truth from the few words just now.

In short, he doesn't believe it!

Gudazi shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just tell you."

Ibaraki Doji looked over subconsciously.

Gu Dazi said seriously: "Didn't you realize that there are very few children in the village?"

Ibaraki Doji is expressionless, does it matter to me whether there are more or less human cubs?

His indifference did not prevent Gu Dazi from raising his chin in one direction.

"Just now I saw the children in the house through the window somewhere. Unlike my impression, they were held in the arms of their mother very quietly. This is an obvious gesture of protection and vigilance. Explain that this village is designated as a territory The yokai is most likely a yokai who preys on young children, or is related to young children."

Ibaraki Doji also saw the narrow window under her instructions, but he asked back: "Is this alone? It doesn't seem convincing enough."

Gu Dazi shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know if you noticed? Although these villagers are wary of outsiders, they don't show the misery of being oppressed. If the monsters who do evil here are cruel and inhumane, then this small village would have been destroyed long ago. , and won’t have the energy to wait until we come over.”

Surprise flashed in Ibaraki Doji's eyes, as if he had just realized that she had such an IQ.

Seeing from his expression, Gu Dazi couldn't laugh or cry: "Hey, I heard the sound of heartbreaking, did you hear it?"

Then he was blindsided.

It's not possible to play with the big monster, so Gudazi can only start working cautiously.

For Ibaraki Doji, it is not difficult to search for the evil spirit and find the monster that left behind the evil spirit, but he wants to see how Watanabe Tsuna deals with the monster, after all—seeing is believing!

Gu Dazi didn't disappoint him either. Although she couldn't feel the specific location of the monster, she just entered the village and walked around, as if she had determined her target, and took him to the outside of the village overnight.

She said: "There is a lake two miles away, which is usually the source of drinking water for the villagers. Since the monsters have kidnapped so many children, water has become an indispensable resource, and it hasn't rained recently. Grab her by the horse's feet!"

Ibaraki Doji unknowingly let go of the speed to catch up with Gudazi, who was running fast, and asked in a low voice: "You have already noticed the identity of the other party, and even determined the plan to capture her, but what's the point of this? Since You have realized what her purpose is, which means that the village is doing it for itself, so do you want to get rid of her?"

Gu Dazi laughed unrecognizably: "The village may have done it for itself, but that's not the reason for her to take away other people's children. If she just abandons her biological mother just because she is left out in the cold, the relationship between mother and child in the world is too indifferent. Besides... she is a monster."

Ibaraki Doji's eyes sank, and he said coldly, "I'm sure now that you really know her identity."

Gu Dazi restrained his expression, and said lightly: "Well, isn't she just a girl?"

If any family neglects their child, a monster will take the child away and raise it himself. It sounds like a very maternal monster, but the care of a monster is actually a disaster for human cubs.

Because monsters judge "indifferent" standards are often different from human beings, no one can guarantee that children who grow up in the hands of monsters can return to human society, or just spend their lives like this.

All in all, the result seemed terrible to Gudazi. Although she herself was raised by a group of inhuman creatures, she didn't think it was necessary for other children to accept this kind of treatment.

"I don't discriminate against the motherhood of monsters," Gudazi could only explain to Ibaraki Doji in this way: "But I am worried about the child's future."

Ibaraki Doji looked at Gudazi with a complicated expression, and didn't even realize that his performance at this time was almost as good as a horse.

How could Gudazi, who was running at high speed, be able to keep up with a weak woman?

Gudazi sighed in his heart: =—= pretend not to see it.

Because they went straight to the right goal at the beginning, when they reached the destination, a black crow feather floating in the water was pushed to the shore by the water waves.

Seeing this, Ibaraki Doji pursed his lips into a straight line.

Gu Dazi was keenly aware of the change in his expression, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Ibaraki Doji didn't answer, but he felt that the atmosphere beside the lake was very chaotic. If you want to talk about what's going on... it feels like a close friend just had a battle with someone =_=

Strange, is it that I miss the smell of my best friend so much, so I have an illusion?

Wiggling his nose again, Ibaraki Doji wanted to cover his face: No, I can still smell it. Sure enough, I had an illusion. It is impossible for my best friend to take the initiative to find me.

If Gu Dazi could enter his inner world, he might be shocked by his self-knowledge.

After all, Shuten-douji really bothered him.

Ibaraki Doji smelled the smell of his best friend for a long time, and wanted to let go and shouted "Best friend~~~", but considering the task Shuten gave him when he set off, he had to endure the excitement in his heart, and his dark eyes fell To Gudazi.

Gudazi: ...

"I think I can already determine in which direction Guhuo Bird fled. Although there are no traces of fighting here, we must be prepared to confront the two big monsters later." Gudazi said here, with worried eyes It fell on Ibaraki Doji, "Girl, you can stay this time."

Ibaraki Doji: "Okay!" He was very straightforward, and he didn't mean to shirk at all.

↑This person is very excited. If his best friend is here, he can take this opportunity to change back to his original appearance and drink a sip of wine to enjoy himself!

He missed his best friend very much after not seeing him for so many days.

Gudazi: =V= Well, you have your plan, and I have mine.

The two hit it off immediately, and split up when they said they would part ways.

It's just poor Jiu Tun.

The author has something to say:

Shuten-douji: ...Who will explain to me, what does the last sentence mean?
