Qin Heqing waved his hand, and the Oiran youkai that he had captured before took advantage of the chaos reappeared in Suzume's foothold in the interior of Settsu Kokushocho.

"Bang."

"In the end, you still can't escape...... "Oiran who stood up again looked around, and when she saw that it was a strange room and strange people, she sighed a little frustrated and lost.

"You seem to have misunderstood something, I am not one of those people who want to capture you, but a third party that you don't know exists." When Qin Heqing heard this, he instantly understood the idea of the Oiran Monster, smiled lightly, and patiently explained.

"Third party presence?" Oiran looked at him in surprise.

"Yes." Qin Heqing nodded.

"So what? In the end, the goal is not to capture me and make me your personal possession. Oiran pouted.

"I don't deny that I have this idea, but it's an item...... It's a little too much. Qin Heqing shook his head slightly and retorted.

"And what should I say?" Oiran asked rhetorically with a sneer.

"Personally, I think the word companion is more correct." Qin Heqing explained.

"Companions? And people like me? Oiran confirmed with some surprise and amusement.

"Yes." Qin Heqing continued to nod.

"Are you crazy, or did I hear it wrong? Be a companion with me? You must have forgotten who I am. Oiran questioned incredulously.

"To be honest, I don't really know." Qin Heqing said embarrassedly.

"Huh?"

"Because today's event was just happening at the right time, and I didn't even expect it at the beginning, and I would encounter this kind of thing when I came out to relax, coupled with your performance, I moved my mind to bring you back." Qin Heqing explained.

“…… That's a coincidence. The corners of Oiran's mouth twitched.

"But I'm curious, as a youkai, why do you care so much about human life, even if you are pushed to the extreme, you only use spells to intimidate them, not take their lives." Qin Heqing said curiously.

"That's probably because I never thought of myself as a monster......" Oiran glanced at Qin Heqing, then turned his head to look outside the house, and was silent for a while before speaking slowly.

"Why?" Qin and Qing were surprised.

"You believe what I say?" Oiran turned his head, looked at Qin Heqing, who had nothing unusual on his face, and asked rhetorically.

"I probably wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen how you behaved when you were being hunted before, but after that, I'm willing to believe it." Qin Heqing stared at the crimson pupils that were somewhat similar to amber and said seriously.

"Well, since you want to hear it, then I'll tell you." Oiran was silent for a moment, then looked away again and said slowly, "I think I'm a human because I was raised by humans......"

Then, I don't know if I want to vent my emotions, or what, Oiran slowly told her life experience.

It's not complicated, it's completely similar to the experience of the orphaned protagonist in the later TV series-

That is, he lost his family when he was still young, and was picked up and raised by well-wishers until he grew up. Then the kind life finally died, and he became a lonely Oiran again - that is, Ah Li began to leave his hometown and went out to make a living alone, and met Kazuku's mother San-san by mistake, and was attracted by her, recruited into Wale Ju for training, and then there was a song and dance Oiran who is now quite famous in Awaji Country, Settsu Country, and even around Izumi Country - Shiranui Ah Li.

So she is very grateful to humans, and she has always considered herself a human, and she is not willing to fight against humans for some reason.

Even if their own lives are threatened, it is the same.

"I see." Qin Heqing said suddenly. After a pause, he said curiously, "So, your monster race just doesn't know the fire?" ”

"Probably. After all, I was still young when I was picked up by my mother-in-law, only about two or three years old, and I don't remember what happened at that time. Plus, I do seem to have some feelings about the term Shiranui, so even if it's not Shiranui, I guess it's some kind of fire-based youkai. Ah Li replied indifferently.

I'm really not interested in my origins.

"And what are you going to do next?" In this regard, Qin Heqing didn't bother, nodded, looked at Ah Li and asked again.

"That's the kind of thing I should ask, right? After all, I was captured by you, and what you want to do with me will naturally follow your thoughts, but I want to explain in advance, you don't expect me to become your private property, even if I die, I won't do anything I don't want to do! Ah Li said firmly.

"Then stay, anyway, there is no shortage of chopsticks for you at home." Qin Heqing said simply. After a pause, he turned his head to the bell girl who was listening quietly and asked, "By the way, there is still an extra spare room at home, right?" ”

"Then should I say yes or no." Suzume blinked and asked rhetorically with a smile.

"If you have it, give it to Ah Li." Qin He looked at her innocently, and commanded a little angrily.

"Yes."

Then Suzumi got up and left the room where Qin Heqing was with Ah Li.

"Is it a youkai with a human heart...... It's really a complicated existence. And after the bell girl and Ah Li left, Yue'er, who had re-revealed her figure, muttered in a low voice with a sigh on her face.

……

Although Qin Heqing left behind a monster suspected to be the embodiment of the natural phenomenon on the coast of the island country, Shiranui Ah Li, Qin Heqing did not pay much attention to her, or carried out special strategies, but treated her like an ordinary guest who came to the house, carried out general hospitality and conversation, or took her to wander around the shopping town that was no longer new, browsing the novelties in the shops.

Of course, it is not excluded to be kind enough to buy two for her.

After all, her money has disappeared with the fall of Heleju, and now she is a penniless weak female streamer, if she doesn't rely on Qin Heqing to pay the money, she may not even be able to eat a full meal.

So although Qin Heqing's performance was very ordinary, Ah Li's feeling for him was getting better and better, and he was no longer like when he first met, he always had a gun and a stick when he spoke.

"I'm ready to leave, do you want to come along?" On this day, Qin Heqing suddenly asked Zhihuo Ah Li.

"Leave? Where to? Ah Li wondered.

"Harima, Izumo, Zhou Fangguo, Kyushu and Shikoku regions, finally back here." Qin and Qingdao.

"Are you going to travel around the world?" Ah Li said in surprise.

"Pretty much so." Qin Heqing thought about it, his actions really seemed to be traveling around the world.

If you use a horse-drawn carriage to move the whole time.

"Then I'll act with you." Ah Li, who heard Qin Heqing's reply, immediately said, "I have long wanted to walk around the country and take a look, but I have been tired of work before, but now that I have regained my freedom, I can realize my wish." ”
