Chapter Twenty-Six: The Tanuki Father and Son

"Little guy, since you're not afraid of our onmyoji, then tell us what is going on with that demon refiner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Shiro sat on a stone bench and stared at the little tanuki with interest.

"Why should I tell you? Will you help me save my father? The little tanuki looked at Bai with a childish and alert expression.

"Didn't I tell you just now, your father can't still be alive, but all the monsters that fall into the hands of the demon refiner are all dead, and you are the first time I have seen a monster that left alive from the hands of the demon refiner." Bai said lightly, as if he didn't care about the little tanuki's defense.

"I don't care! I'm going to save my father! The tanuki walked out as he spoke, and Kagura and Shiro didn't stop him, but as soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he was shocked back by a powerful spiritual power.

"There's an enchantment here, and if you're not with us, you won't be able to go anywhere." Bai smiled and looked at the little tanuki who hit the wall, "So, it's better for you to talk to us about you and that demon refiner." ”

"You've always gossiped about me, now why do I think you're even more gossip than me?" Kagura smiled and said to the dialogue.

"Who doesn't have a heart for gossip, little one, just sit here and talk to us." Bai stared at the little tanuki with a leisurely face, and the little tanuki also tried several times in a row, and after making sure that the enchantment could not leave at all, he honestly sat on the edge of the stone table.

"Is it any good for me to tell you?" The little tanuki still looked at Shiro cautiously, and he never relaxed his guard against him.

"The benefits? Well, this one is for you. After Bai looked thoughtful, he took out a bean paste bag from his arms and put it in front of the little civet cat, and he kept swallowing saliva after seeing the bean paste bag, and his eyes were shining.

"How long do you hide bean paste buns?" Yan Nai leaned over to Bai's side and whispered, he and Bai have been together, and I didn't see him buy food when I was in Kyoto City, where did this bean paste bun come from?

"I just passed from the cafeteria, and I took two of them." Bai replied in a low voice, with a wicked smile on his face.

"Huh?! It took less than a minute to pass by the cafeteria just now, and you even had the bean paste bun in your arms? Yan Nai looked at him with an incredulous expression.

"It's for this guy, it's going to work." Bai said that his eyes were thrown to the little civet cat, and at this time it was staring intently at the bean paste bun, and its expression seemed to be eager to eat the bun immediately.

"To talk or not to talk? Don't talk about it, I can eat it myself. Bai looked at the little civet cat who had not spoken all this time, but stared at the bean paste bag and swallowed saliva.

"Chat! Somewhat! Give me! As he spoke, the little tanuki snatched the bean paste bun from his white hand and devoured it, probably because he hadn't eaten for too long, and in less than ten seconds he swallowed a fist-sized bean paste bun.

"Anything else?" After the little tanuki finished eating, he still looked at Bai with unfinished eyes.

"Yes, yes, but shouldn't you tell us about you and the demon refiner first?" Shiro stared at the little tanuki with a smile, and after a moment's hesitation, the little tanuki nodded and began to tell the story.

It turns out that the little civet cat and his father have been living in that wood, because of their timid character, so they only dare to sneak while humans are not paying attention, and steal their food, for monsters like them, most humans are not disgusted, and sometimes even deliberately leave something for them to steal.

Because of this, there has always been a delicate peace between them and humans, and some humans will even take the initiative to give them something to eat, although they are too timid to blatantly take it from humans, but if they are placed somewhere in the woods, they will quickly take it and hide it.

"My father and I have never hurt any humans, although we are monsters and don't like humans, but we have always only stolen some human food, I thought that my father and I could live quietly in the woods forever, but I didn't expect that yesterday, the demon alchemist found my father." When the little tanuki said this, he became a little emotional.

"He actually let my father and me into the demon refining pot! In order to protect me, my father grew up with the demon refiner, and then I tried to escape from this forest according to the path my father showed me, but I didn't expect that the demon refiner actually set up an enchantment, no matter how I escaped, I couldn't leave that forest! Later, after he put my father in the demon refining pot, he caught up with me......" The little tanuki told the three of them about what happened in the woods before.

"Later, he thought that his apprentice couldn't accept me, so he did it himself, but his apprentice finally took me into his pocket, and then took me to Kyoto City, and then his apprentice said that he wanted me to escape, and you will know what happened next." The little tanuki spoke with a childish expression, while the listener's expression was a little complicated.

"In other words, he is saving you, so what happens when you have an expression of enmity against him?" Yan Nai asked with some puzzlement after hearing this.

"Because he's a demon alchemist! The demon alchemist is not a good person! He must have had a purpose in letting me escape! The little tanuki insisted that Taiyi had a conspiracy when he let him go.

"I think he just wants to save you, judging from what you just said, when you were in the woods, he persuaded his master to let you go, but his master didn't agree, so after returning to Kyoto City, he will risk being scolded by the master and let you go." Yan Nai spoke his mind, and Shiro and Kagura agreed.

"Humph! Anyway, I won't trust the alchemist! The little tanuki twisted his head and said with an unhappy face.

"What did the alchemist arrest you and your father for? Each monster has a different use for the demon refiner, and you and your father's demonic power is not very strong, if it is just to improve his own strength, he will not find you at all, so, what is there in you that makes him think? Shiro's brows furrowed as he said this, and he looked at the little tanuki with some puzzlement.

"How do I know!" The little tanuki said loudly in a huff, clearly dissatisfied with Shiro's question.

"I also think it's unlikely that it will know, I'm afraid only its father and the demon alchemist will know ......why," Kagura whispered to Haku, who sighed lightly and nodded, "What you should do now is not to go desperately to find that demon alchemist, but to go back to the woods or some other safe place and live well." ”

"But they killed my father! I want revenge! The little tanuki's eyes were determined.

"Then wait until you get stronger! It's not too early, we're going to rest, so you just stay in the courtyard and we'll see you off early tomorrow morning. Bai said in an unquestioning tone, even full of a sense of majesty, not to mention that the little tanuki was so shocked that he couldn't speak, even Kagura and Yan Nai didn't react for a while.
