The target has been jumping from tree to treetop like Tarzan of the Apes.

Kazuma was worried that he wouldn't be able to exert his strength in the woods, but he jumped a few trees and found out that he didn't have to worry.

He held the wooden knife in his mouth, like Zoro in One Piece, and mobilized his free hands and feet to leap between the treetops.

He gradually closed the distance between him and the guy.

Now he could see the details of the man's back.

Messy long white hair that feels like Inuyasha.

Of course, the gray hair alone can't conclude that the one he is chasing must be a monster, and he may be an albino.

Now he could only see through the moonlight, and he couldn't tell whether the white hair of the guy in front of him was as white as snow or the gray color of an albinist.

Whatever, you'll know what's going on when you catch it.

The distance was getting closer, and the other man looked back at Kazuma, and then sped up his jump from treetop to treetop.

However, the distance is still shortening, and sure enough, this kind of "parkour" Jack Chen is very strong, maybe only those masters in Assassin's Creed can compare to him.

Suddenly, the other party suddenly turned 90 degrees.

Kazuma naturally followed, but dozens of seconds later, the target led Kazuma out of the mountains and forests and galloped in the field.

After entering the flat ground without obstacles, the speed of Kazuma increased significantly.

But the speed of the enemies has also increased significantly! The speed of the horse is not as great as that of the other party, so the speed of the two approaching is reduced!

Although the approach speed has decreased, the distance is still shortening!

The other party looked back again, and then he decided-

Run like a beast on all fours!

The distance between the two began to widen immediately.

"Nima's!" And the horse scolded, "It's not fair to have two more feet than me!" You don't talk about martial arts! ”

The wooden knife in his hand, without a scabbard, he couldn't use his only long-range attack move, he picked up a few stones and threw them out, Mao didn't use it, and people were not willing to hide.

The action of picking up stones slows down the running speed and further increases the distance.

Just then, the two of them passed a cottage on the side of a country road, with lights on and a bicycle in the doorway.

There is no lock at all in this car, it may be that it is difficult to change the lock in the countryside, and the villagers in the big hometown know each other, so the lock is broken and they are too lazy to continue to install.

Whatever it was, he braked sharply with the horse, turned back to the door of the hut, picked up his bicycle and stepped on it.

- Can you run on four legs, more than two wheels?

He galloped on the country road, and the distance between him and the target was quickly shortened.

The other party may have heard the voice, and as soon as he turned his head to meet Kazuma's gaze, at that moment Kazuma always felt that he saw a surprised look on the other party's face.

The next moment, the other party turned and rushed into the paddy field next to the dirt road.

Kazuma also slammed the front of the car and rushed towards the paddy field.

Naturally, the bicycle can't go down the paddy field, but you can run on the ridge!

Kazuma also saw that the other party wanted to enter the woods again and force himself to give up the bicycle.

When he threw his bicycle and ran some distance through the woods, the other party came out of the woods and ran on the ground, so that he had nothing to do.

"You want to be beautiful!"

He redoubled his efforts to pedal wildly, intending to intercept each other on the last ridge before entering the forest!

He did it!

But the other jumped up and leaped like a real beast.

Kazuma looked up at the target that swept into his field of vision, and swung the wooden knife in his hand.

The wooden knife hit the thigh, directly destroying the opponent's aerial posture, causing it to fall directly into the field when it landed, and rolled several times with a grunt.

But when they were rolling the last lap, they stood up, glanced at the horse, and then turned and ran towards the woods.

He got off his bike and ran on his shoulders.

Damn, I've chased it here, so I have to hold on until I run out of energy!

Shoulder-mounted bicycles with horses rush through the last paddy fields that stand in front of the forest.

After rushing into the forest, the bicycle on his shoulder caused more trouble than Kazuma expected.

One of the biggest troubles is that one of the horses has to carry the cart and cannot be used.

As a result, he couldn't climb the trees, and he couldn't jump and parkour from treetops like he used to, but this time he could only run on the ground in the woods.

And this forest is a natural forest, the ground is uneven, full of intertwined rhizomes, and several times I almost tripped over the horse.

Kazuma felt that his physical strength was passing rapidly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to chase for long.

So he decided to take a final gamble.

He threw his bike as a thrower at the target!

Although the accuracy is not very good, this time the "projectile" is large, which can make up for the lack of accuracy!

However, the kinetic energy provided by a horse's throw is almost constant, since the maximum output of the arm muscles and the possible work distance are fixed.

The greater the mass of the object with a certain kinetic energy, the lower the velocity, simple physics common sense.

The speed at which the bicycle was thrown was much lower than Kazuma's prediction, causing a problem with his predicted position, and he was still lonely.

"Fuck you!" Kazuma scolded and threw out the wooden knife, this time the wooden knife hit the target, but it didn't work.

He chased after him and picked up the wooden knife that had fallen to the ground, and he didn't care about the bicycle anymore, and continued to chase the enemy.

The enemy turned back again, and when he saw that Kazuma no longer had a bicycle with him, he immediately turned again—apparently he was leaving the forest.

There was nothing he could do about it, but he had chased all the way here, so he could only continue to chase with one heart.

The other man came out of the woods, and began to run on the flat ground again with his hands and feet like a beast.

He Ma also came out of the woods, and this time there were no lights around, and there was not even a street lamp on the country road on the other side of Hei Ma Ma.

He couldn't expect any more vehicles to pop up on the side of the road that could be taken immediately, and Kazuma could only watch as the other party got farther and farther away, and the silhouette of his figure became smaller and smaller.

Jack Chen, Jack Chen, you can only exert one-tenth of your strength without props and terrain!

Finally, Kazuma saw a street lamp, which was the only one at the intersection of two country roads.

He paused in the light of the streetlamp, gasping for air.

The target stopped at a distance, resuming his stance and turning to look at Kazuma.

He Ma took off the wooden knife in his mouth and held it in his hand, pointed at the other party and scolded: "Bad seed, don't run if you have the ability, fight with me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the other party turned around and left.

"Fuck." He scolded the horse.

Then he began to think seriously about two things:

First of all, what the hell is the other party?

He had just approached Ma very closely, and he was sure that the other party had no entry.

Powerful humans generally have an entry.

The other party has this kind of non-human mobility, and there is no entry, so sure enough, it should be the same as Tamamo, a monster that has survived to modern times.

According to Tamamo, those who can survive to modern times should be big monsters, and theoretically the big monsters Tamamo should all know it.

So what the hell is going on with this guy?

He Ma thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason.

So he turned his attention to the second thing: Where the am I now?

He was now standing under the only street lamp as far as the eye could see, and it was pitch black all around.

It seems like it's impossible to know where you are.

But there are street lights here, and there are street lights that mean there are wires—

He Ma simply looked for it, and sure enough, he found that the pole of the power transmission line was not far from the street lamp.

Then he Ma found that the two intersecting country roads had power transmission lines built along the roads.

He identified it and found that the telephone poles on the north-south rural road were obviously newer, and this should be the line that sent electricity to the hot spring street—in order to ensure the power supply for tourism development, the power transmission line must have been renovated.

The pursuit just now was basically running north, so he and the horse took a step and walked south along the north-south country road.

About an hour later, Kazuma ran into a search party with a flashlight.

"Is it Kiryu and Ma-sensei?" At the same time as the flashlight came over, someone asked loudly.

"I am!" And the horse replied.

The flashlight immediately turned away, and several uncles wearing armbands of the Hot Spring Street Tourism Promotion Association greeted them: "Is Kiryu-sensei okay?" Did you catch the voyeur? ”

And the horse shook his head.

At this time, he felt unusually thirsty, so he asked the gang, "Water, is there water?" ”

"Yes, yes!" One of the members of the promotion association immediately took out the mineral water from his backpack, unscrewed the bottle cap, and handed it to Kazuma.

At the same time as Ma Gu Dong was pouring water, another uncle of the promotion association shouted with something like a walkie-talkie: "I'm Sakura, and we found Kiryu Sensei." ”

After drinking the water, Hema just wanted to return the remaining half of the mineral water bottle to the original owner, but he felt thirsty again.

He immediately remembered that Akanishi Kaede had said that on the day Watanabe-kun died, she was also very thirsty and kept drinking water.

Could it be that thirst is not caused by psychological factors?

But Hema did sweat a lot, and now his thirst may also be due to a lack of water in his body, and only half a bottle of mineral water is not enough.

He silently memorized this in his mind, and then drank the remaining half bottle of mineral water.

"Do you want more?" The man who handed the water took the empty bottle, immediately took out another bottle of unopened mineral water, and asked, "I see that you are sweating a lot, and your yukata is completely soaked." ”

Kazuma then remembered that he was still wearing a hotel yukata, and hurriedly looked down.

Sure enough, the pockets of the yukata had long since come loose during the run, and now the whole yukata looks more like a mantle for a horse.

When he was chasing people just now, he was running with only a pair of pants and a cloak.

Yes, it's Superman!

No, Superman doesn't have to run, just fly.

Yes, it's Sparta!

Kazuma was thinking in his heart, a van came from a distance, stopped in front of him, and it was Mikako who jumped out first.

"And horses!" Mikako shouted, "I didn't expect it, I was the first to greet you!" Ahh

Qingliu pushed Mikako out of the car: "Don't get in the way, you fat woman!" How about horses...... Wow! ”

Kazuma said to Haruyu, whose mouth was open in an O-shape, "Why are you so surprised, didn't you just have a swimsuit party?" You've seen abs or something, right? ”

Mikako: "This one is different from that, you're tired of seeing our swimsuits and horses, aren't you?" But when you see underwear, you still feel 'wow', right? ”

That's right.

As she spoke, Tamamo also got out of the car, and she walked up to Kazuma without saying anything, and leaned over her nose to smell something.

Mikako shouted, "Honami, come down quickly, the eggs are eaten alone!" ”

Tamamo ignored Mikako, and she leaned closer, sniffing carefully like a dog.

And the horse asked, "It's a wolf, right?" ”

The figure he had just seen was too similar to Inuyasha, and with the wolf howl he had heard earlier, Kazuma came to such an inference.

Tamamo didn't say anything, she reached out and gently pinched Kazuma's yukata to pinch a strand of white hair that was almost undetectable.

"Damn, you found it by smelling?" Kazuma was so surprised that he almost said it out loud, but fortunately he finally suppressed his voice.

Honami was originally walking this way with a curious face, but when she saw that Kazuma was talking so quietly, she stopped directly, and by the way, stopped Mikako, who was also going this way.

Tamamo takes a closer look at the hair.

"It's human hair." She whispered.

"Humans? How could it be, that guy was running like a beast with his hands on the ground. Kazuma also whispered in response.

"Humans raised by wild beasts do the same."

Kazuma frowned: "Are you serious?" Now 2...... 1981 yay. ”

It's so dangerous, I almost said "now in the 21st century".

"yes, maybe this is the last generation of humans to be raised by wild beasts." Tamamo whispered, and then hummed directly, "The bison herd has no trace from the grassland......

And Ma: "Does it know that humans are coming?" ”

Mikako: "What the hell? Suddenly singing Canadian folk songs? ”

Qingliu looked at her in surprise: "You actually know this song?" ”

"How is my English department, our speaking teacher likes to speak the ethnic groups of the English-speaking region and sing folk songs to us."

Kazuma glanced at Mikako, didn't join the conversation over there, he looked back at Tamamo and whispered, "Come to my room later." ”

"Won't it bother you and Haruyu?" Tamamo laughed.

"You know all about it, huh? No, she's too small. ”

"yes, only ribs."

"I'm talking about age! Anyway, when you come here, I always think that we have a ...... Well? It seems that there is nothing extra to ask for other than this wild and mysterious character? ”

"That's right, I think I'd better wait until tomorrow to ask Grandma Noda and see if I can get some new information." Tamamo said.

Kazuma nodded: "There is also the question of the god and see what he said to Watanabe-kun." ”

"Well, then, get some rest tonight. But I think you should take a new shower, and you see that your yukata is full of salt stains formed after the sweat has dried up. ”

The Japanese have a tradition of sweating after taking a bath, and the ping-pong table outside the bathhouse is set up for this purpose.

But apparently the amount of sweat that Kazuma sweated was more than the Japanese could bear.

By the way, Hema, as a Chinese, naturally tends to wash off the sweat in a clean bed.

Especially now, when Kazuma himself looks down, he can smell a smell of sweat, and he will definitely feel uncomfortable lying in bed without taking a bath.

"Let's go, go back." Talking to the horse, he took the lead towards the van.

Honami: "Done talking? ”

Kazuma nodded: "Yes." ”

"So the eggs will sleep in your room tonight?"

"No, it won't." And the horse shook his head.

"Qingliu must be here!" Mikako shouted.

"I won't be there! I just have insomnia to go chatting! But now that I know that this dog thing can be chased and beaten by humans, I can sleep peacefully! He'll come and see me and kill him! ”

"Hey, it turns out that Harukuru is afraid of what he and Ma just chased."

"Don't be afraid!"

Mikako reached out to hug Haruku, and was about to rub her cheeks: "Haruku is so cute!" ”

"You're dead! Fat woman! Haruru put her hand against Mikako's head to prevent her from rubbing over.

Kazuma looked at this scene and suddenly wanted to change positions with Haruku and enjoy the fat woman's hug.

**

The next day, after eating breakfast with Wama and Egg, and Haruu, he went to the hot spring town to find Grandma Noda, only to be told that Grandma Noda had gone to the town bus early in the morning to meet the old sisters.

It's obviously an old lady who needs to push a wheelchair to walk, but I didn't expect it to be quite active.

There's no way.,And the horse and his party went to the shrine.。

After climbing the long stone steps, Tamamo looked like he was about to melt away: "I've had enough, this stone staircase is so long." ”

Qingliu looked at Yuzao with her hands on her hips: "Are you also the senior sister of Kiryu Dojo?" ”

"Actually, you can think of me as the club manager of the dojo." Tamamo said.

"In this way, after I finish practicing, I can ask you to take water and a towel to wipe your sweat?" Haruru said with her hands on her hips.

Kazuma thought to himself, "I advise you not to", but he didn't say it, mainly because he really wanted to see Tamamo bullying Haruyu.

At this time, Hiroko, a part-time witch with a broom, came behind Wama and said, "Kiryu-sensei, the Lord of the Gods has been waiting for you since the morning. ”

Kazuma raised his eyebrows: "From the morning?" ”

"Yes, he has already gone into the mountains to collect medicine at this time, but today he has no intention of setting off at all."

Kazuma nodded: "Okay, I'll go over now." ”

With that, he walked to the social office.

**

The priest was waiting for him in the office of the social office.

It is said to be an office, but in fact there is no desk or sofa for guests, it is a six-and-a-half-sized room with a low table and a few cushions.

After all, it's a shrine, so it can't be too Westernized.

The god Ota sat on the largest cushion and was reading a book.

The door was completely open, so he was not polite, knocked on the door directly, and came in and sat down.

"You're here." The god put down the book, raised his eyes and glanced at Kazuma, then picked up the teapot and tea set that had been placed on the table, and poured tea for Kazuma.

Kazuma: "Since the Lord is waiting for us right here, that is, you know what I'm going to ask, right?" ”

"It's just to ask what I said to Watanabe-kun that day." Lord Ota put down the teapot and looked at Kazuma, "Did you see clearly what you were chasing yesterday?" ”

"A gray-haired man." And the horse replied in the affirmative.

"That's not a person in the strict sense." "What I'm about to say next, you may have a hard time believing it, after all, modern society is a society in which the light of science replaces the grace of God...... The mystery is also fading under the progress of science......"

"Say it, believe it or not, I'll judge." And the horse replied.

The god lord took a deep breath: "Listen, what you chased yesterday should be the heir of the mountain god, a human child who was adopted by the mountain god. ”

At this time, Tamamo spoke: "I've never heard of a mountain god around here, this legend should not have been born for a long time, right?" ”

The god lord looked at Tamamo with a stunned face.
