Hearing that this eccentric mother-in-law actually said the same, Kagome immediately retorted loudly in annoyance.

However, both Granny Kaede and the villagers once again ignored Kagome's strong protest, and still looked at Kagome with suspicion, whispering non-stop.

And the villager who was standing next to Granny Feng and helping Granny Feng hold the bow also leaned into Granny Feng's ear and whispered.

"Then, could this little girl be a spy sent by other daimyos?"

"Don't talk stupid, what's the benefit of beating our village," waving her hand, Granny Kaede said without worrying about this, "In our village, the food alone is almost not enough......

While speaking, Granny Kaede also lowered her head and began to carefully look at Kagome who was being bound, intending to carefully determine whether this girl was a monster, but when Granny Kaede carefully looked at Kagome's puzzled face, she couldn't help but be stunned.

This, this countenance is......

"Let me see your face again."

Subconsciously, Granny Kaede took a step further, and as she said this, she raised her hand and grabbed Kagome's chin, looked at it carefully, and said with some eagerness.

"Be smart with your expressions."

Oh my God...... What the hell is going on, this strange mother-in-law......

Kagome, who was caught in the face by Granny Kaede and didn't understand the situation at all, was completely confused.

After taking a solemn and careful look at Kagome's appearance, Granny Kaede let go of the hand that was pinching Kagome's chin, and there was a lot of inexplicable meaning in her expression.

"It's too similar...... It's really like Sister Kikyo......"

At night, inside the house where Granny Kaede lives.

Goo-goo......

In the clay pot on the fire, some common vegetables, tofu, and some wild boar meat hunted by the villagers in the mountains and forests to make up for the lack of food in the village are tumbling in the boiling soup, giving off an appetizing taste.

After seeing that the food in the pot was cooked, Granny Kaede picked up a wooden bowl from the side, filled a bowl full of soup with a lot of vegetables and meat with a soup spoon, and handed it to Kagome, who was sitting next to her.

"Alright, come on, let's get something to eat."

"Ah, thank you."

Although it was loosened, her wrist was a little numb, and Kagome, who was moving her wrist, stopped moving her wrist when she saw the soup handed to her by Granny Kaede, and thanked her happily while taking the wooden bowl containing the soup.

"It seems to be delicious, so I'm welcome."

After finishing speaking, Kagome, who was already hungry, picked up the wooden bowl and took a small sip of the soup that was still a little hot.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer a little bit," Granny Kaede slowly explained as she stirred with the charcoal with tongs after seeing Kagome drink the soup, "Because there have been a lot of wars in this area recently, the young people in the village are always a little uneasy and impulsive. ”

"Ah, it's okay...... "After saying that she didn't care, Kagome asked Granny Kaede with some hesitation, "Excuse me, here...... It shouldn't be Tokyo, right? ”

"Tokyo? I haven't heard anything about Tokyo," Granny Kaede asked confusedly after hearing the name of the place Kagome, "Is that your hometown?" ”

"yes...... Well, that," Kagome smiled reluctantly at Granny Kaede's words, "It's not too early, and I should go back." ”

Although she said this, Kagome couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

But how can I go back......

Seeing Kagome's somewhat lost look, Granny Kaede also turned her gaze back to the "crackling" burning charcoal fire, and her aging face also showed a look of memory for a long time.

That was 50 years ago......

Fifty years ago, fragments of memories that were too distant for Granny Kaede slowly surfaced from the depths of her memory.

The flames that burned the whole village, the cold and biting north wind, the heavy snow, the bellflower sister who fell in front of the shrine, and ......

The person who should never betray Sister Kikyo has an indifferent gaze......

Unconsciously, Granny Kaede once again stared at Kagome's very similar face to Kikyo.

Fifty years have passed since then...... The appearance of Sister Kikyo is almost forgotten by me, alas~ It seems that I'm really old, and I can't remember anything anymore......

"That's, that'...... Mother-in-law? ”

Stared at by Granny Kaede's inexplicable eyes, Kagome, who was very puzzled, was about to ask when she was abrupt.

Rumble~!!!

In the village outside the house, there was a loud noise from the collapse of the house, and the ground shook slightly, almost causing Kagome to accidentally throw the wooden bowl in his hand.

"What's going on?!"

And after hearing this loud bang, Granny Feng, who came back to her senses, immediately picked up her bow and arrow, stood up and walked out quickly, shouting loudly.

However, none of the villagers had time to answer him, and in the midst of all the panicked shouts, the villagers scattered in panic.

Kagome also trotted out of the house, and when Kagome saw the situation outside, she couldn't help but be stunned.

In the dark night, in the village, a huge body like the body of a snake was writhing back and forth in the village, sweeping down many houses along the way, and the villagers fled in panic, faintly, someone was shouting "There is a monster coming!" ”。

The huge body wantonly destroyed many houses in the village in the dark night, and many villagers were directly thrown aside by the huge body, and it was at this time that some villagers who had hunted some monsters with Granny Feng also began to counterattack the monsters in the dark in a hurry, and one by one the burning arrows flew towards the body of the monsters in the night.

The light of the flames that ignited on the arrows illuminated the body of the youkai in the night, not a snake-like body, but a hundred-legged centipede-like body with many arthropods.

The light from the flames also illuminated the top of the centipede-like body of the monster, and above the body of this monster was the upper body that resembled a human woman, but had six arms.

Hundred-legged witch.

After seeing Granny Kaede and Kagome running out of the house, the ugly face of the hundred-legged demon woman also showed a happy and hideous smile, manipulating the writhing arthropod body, and suddenly pounced on Kagome, who showed a panicked look, from mid-air, and roared.

"Hurry up and hand over the Jade of the Four Souls!"

PS: This is today's update~ Because of the loss of the manuscript in the first two days, the update in the past few days may be more confusing, please forgive me~ I will try to correct it. The current plot is really difficult to write, not only to take into account the original book, but also to collect the clues and fill in the holes I laid before. (Sigh.)

Hawkers, but please rest assured, I'll try my best to write something interesting in terms of the plot~ If you have anything to say, please tell me in the book review area.

Finally, I still ask for everyone's recommendation ticket support, as well as collection~

Ah,Also,Thank you for the reward of the super university-level の contradictory gentleman.,I didn't notice it two days ago.,I'm sorry~.
