ps: Happy New Year~ A certain author wishes the New Year to all readers~ (Ragnar: What about the red envelopes that are good!

Ragnar returned to the Red Devil Pavilion as fast as he could, but the cat demon next to him couldn't stand the speed faster than the rocket, and turned into a humanoid and vomited.

"Sakurayuki...... Sorry, I seem to be too fast. Ragnar said apologetically with a wry smile.

"It's okay...... That's what I have to over. Sakura took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped the stains from the corners of her mouth.

Ragnar was still a little uneasy, so he turned on the "Ideal Mechanism" and touched Sakura's head.

Sakura felt a surge of warmth welling up in her stomach, and the feeling of vomiting disappeared without a trace, and there was a very reassuring mysterious power supporting her.

"Is it better?" Ragnar asked again.

"Well, it's a lot better, it's really troublesome Brother Ragnar. Sakura bowed.

Ragnar looked at Sakura's movements a little uncomfortable, so he stopped her and said, "Sakurayuki, that ...... You don't have to be like this, you can also treat me as family, so please be willful, it's okay to be coquettish......"

Sakura Xue heard the word family for the first time, and while she was dumbfounded, her previous memories came to her mind.

Forest of Mist.

In this forest full of mist, there are dangers everywhere, and in this world of the jungle, the gentle character of the youkai has also changed.

And somewhere, there is a yellow kitten being chased by a giant bear, this kitten is the former Sakurayuki.

(What to do...... What to do...... If I continue like this, I'm going to die...... Sakurayuki ran away thinking about how to get rid of the giant bear.

"Roar!"

The roar of the giant bear shows that it is very strong, and its claws can kill Sakurayuki with one blow, but because it has the psychology of playing with Sakurayuki a little, it deliberately only chases and does not catch, and then slowly weakens Sakurayuki's physical strength, and then eats Sakurayuki without any bones left.

Sakurayuki's body is very weak, she hasn't eaten in two days, and the physical exertion is also a matter of time.

(Damn...... Is this the end?)" Sakurayuki's limbs began to weaken, and she fell to the ground on her stomach, waiting for the next second of death.

“……”

The giant bear stopped, testing to see if Sakurayuki was tired.

Sakurayuki's body was motionless, only heavy gasps, which meant that Sakurayuki could no longer escape.

"Hey, hey, hey...... I thought you could let me enjoy it a little longer, but since you're no longer good, let me eat you, little kitten. ”

The giant bear spoke, and in the world of Gensokyo, as long as it was a youkai, it could communicate verbally, but unfortunately, Sakurayuki didn't respond to it.

"Woo......"

Sakura Xue tried her best to escape from here, because she didn't want to die yet, and she didn't want to be eaten here.

"Hah!" the giant bear pounced, its fierce expression showing its evil side.

Faced with such a situation, Sakura Xue could only quietly wait for the end of her life, and at this time, a sudden chirp made the life of this little cat demon continue again.

Whoosh -

Like a blast of wind, the voice is crisp, and when Sakurayuki slowly opens her eyes, the giant bear has already fallen.

"Huh, what is this?"

Sakurayuki spotted an arrow made of wood and iron on the bear's head, and a woman was watching in front of her.

Average-looking, human-looking, with long black hair, wearing a leather coat made of animal fur, unlike other humans, she has a knife mark on the left side of her face, carrying a bundle of arrows on her back, holding a bow in her left hand, and reaching out in front of Sakurayuki with her right hand, and said:

"Are you alright? ”

Sakura Xue didn't understand why the human in front of her wanted to save her, a monster like her would die sooner or later, either killed by humans, or eaten by other monsters stronger than her, but just this sentence saved her life, which was not worth it.

"I didn't ...... It's okay...... Thank you......" Sakurayuki left these thoughts behind her, lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at the woman.

"Really, that's great, there are a lot of monsters here, how could you pass by here? It's too dangerous. ”

It seems that this woman doesn't care about Sakurayuki's identity as a youkai, but just treats her as a "person".

"I ...... I just wanted to find something to eat. Sakurayuki remembered the mushrooms she had just picked from next to a big tree, and she wanted to eat them directly, but at this time, she met a giant bear who had come to look for food.

"Hmm...... You look very hungry, my name is Tsuruko, Nishikawa Tsuruko, what's your name?"

The woman named Tsuruko Nishikawa smiled and helped up the weak Sakurayuki, and while introducing herself, her face was full of smiles.

"My name is Sakurayuki......" Sakurayuki has always been very shy about people and things, and she is very afraid of humans, but I don't know why, as soon as she sees the smile of the crane, she has a reassuring feeling in her heart, which is very warm.

"Sakurayuki, then I'll call you Sakura! ”

“…… Whatever. ”

"This giant bear looks very delicious, why don't we just bake it here, and I'll take you to my house later~" Tsuruko said while drooling, it seems that she is also a foodie.

"There's a lot of wood here, so I'm sorry for you, Sister Tsuruko. Sakurayuki plucked up the courage to say the name of the crane, which made the crane very happy.

"Haha~ You're finally willing to say my name, and you're shy, so I'll go chop wood first, and you wait here." Tsuruko took out a firewood knife from his waist, turned around and walked towards a large tree.

Soon, the firewood can be made with little effort, and then there is the scene that is not suitable for children, Sakurayuki covers her eyes in fear, and Tsuruko just smiles, and then plunges into the bloody slaughter.

Girl's barbecue.

"Well~ Sure enough, the meat roasted in the wild is the best~" Tsuruko learned the attitude of a gourmand and slowly tasted the bear meat in his hand. (A certain author: Readers don't imitate it~ After all, the bears in Gensokyo are monsters, and the bears here must be protected~)

"Are you a hunter?" Sakurayuki asked.

The hunter profession is rare in Gensokyo, after all, all humans live in the human world, and the Forest of Fog is a dangerous place, and generally no human will die hunting.

"Yes, because there are no acquaintances in the world, I can only live in the Forest of Fog, heh! This bear meat tastes so good~" After the crane finished speaking, he gulped down the meat.

"......" Sakurayuki didn't say anything, just lowered her head and ate the meat.

The girl is enjoying it.

"Well, meat is the best delicacy!" Tsuruko licked her lips as she spoke, but it looked cute.

"Sister Tsuruko...... Then I'll go first......" Sakurayuki didn't want others to be affected, so she turned around and left.

"Hey, don't go, I haven't taken you to my house yet. Tsuruko hurriedly grabbed Sakurayuki's hand.

"I don't want you to be killed by youkai......"

Sakurayuki has seen the world clearly in the morning, and if one person suffers and others help, then the same misfortune will be obtained.

"My house is safe, don't worry, I can protect you even if there are youkai. ”

"......" Sakura Xue stopped talking.

"Sakura-chan, let's go. ”

In this way, Tsuruko took Sakuraki to the so-called "home" she said, what kind of encounter awaits them?
