Chapter 42: Let's go to see the cherry blossoms
Every beast that can be called a "demon" will have this kind of crystallization on its body to a greater or lesser extent. Some crystals are crystal clear, while others are pink and purple, which is beautiful.
Yae Ji put Daisuke's body aside, pulled out Sakurabuki, and pointed the tip of Sakura's white knife at the strange crystal on the boar demon's body.
No response.
Swing the knife!
"Click~"
The crystals shatter and fall off the monster's corpse.
Yae Ji thought about it, tore off a strip of cloth from Daisuke's black robe, wrapped his right hand, and touched it towards the shattered crystal.
"Receive."
The fragments were gone.
Yae Ji stared, and a blue panel appeared in front of him, and in the material bar, the icon of a broken crystal had already appeared.
Introduction: In the beautiful crystal, there is a faint Honkai energy.
"Honkai energy?" Yaeji wondered, "That's the source of turning the fierce beasts of the mountains and fields into monsters?" ”
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Yae Ji swung his knife and split all the crystals on the monster's body and put them in the equipment backpack.
Fifteen wild boar demons, two wolf demons, and two blood-colored wolf demons provided a total of twenty-one fragmented crystals.
Among them, the boar demon and the ordinary wolf demon only provide one copy each, and the blood wolf demon provides two copies.
Although I don't know what this thing is for, Yae Ji still collects them to prevent any more fierce beasts from eating and turning into monsters and harming the four directions!
Whether or not this is possible, Yae Ji thinks it is necessary to take them with him.
Yaeji, who spent a lot of physical strength to kill the youkai and carried the thin corpse of Daisuke behind him, was faintly overwhelmed in terms of physical strength.
This time, he didn't use the extremely physically exhausting [Instantaneous Step], the so-called [Instantaneous Step] was realized by him in the instantaneous flashing power technique, and he was able to burst out with a speed far beyond ordinary people in a short period of time.
As for the name, it pops up in his head, and Yae Ji has long been surprised by the strange terms that pop up in his head from time to time.
Carrying Daisuke's thin corpse all the way to the back mountain, he put it behind the tombstone in the cold. Yae Ji touched his waist, he can't use Sakura to blow snow to dig the soil, right?
From the back mountain to the shrine, Yaeki wears a maiden costume stained with a mixture of demon blood and human blood.
I walked to the warehouse and took a shovel, and with a move of my mind, the shovel was put into my backpack.
Description: The shovel at Yae Shrine is made of stone concentrate and cedar wood, and comes from the skilled blacksmiths of Yae Village.
Yaeji groped around the warehouse, and he collected some of almost everything.
Fir wood, pine wood, camphor wood.
Stone concentrate, hematite, silver pyroxene.
Royal herbs, prunella grass, rush grass.
...... The material slot in the backpack immediately became full.
After playing enough, Yaeji realized that there was still Daisuke's corpse waiting for him to dispose of in the back mountain.
Walking out of the warehouse, Yaeji glanced at the Divine Temple, and he faintly heard someone arguing about something in the council hall behind the temple.
Without asking, Yaeki walked towards the shrine gate, and after passing by the side room where people lived, he heard Rin coughing again.
The thin eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and Yaeji, who was about to walk to the door of the shrine, turned around and walked towards the house.
"Rin!"
Sitting in the middle of the bunk, Yae Rin, whose eyes were blank, looked up at Yae Ji, and there was a bloodshot on the corner of his mouth.
The handkerchief spread out in his hand had long been stained with black blood, which was particularly eye-catching.
"Brother...... Brother. You, how do you ......"
Going to the back mountain alone to explore the source, Yae Ji only told his father and Sakura, and Rin didn't know about it.
Seeing Yae Ji walk into the house covered in blood, it startled Rin.
This frightened, his chest was stuffy again, he coughed one after another, and Rin hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Ahem! Ahem, ahem! ”
Yae Ji wanted to step forward, but he was afraid that the smell of blood would irritate Rin. With a move in his heart, Yae Ji took out the Sakurabuki in his backpack.
Rin was still coughing, not seeing.
Drawing the blade, a faint scent of cherry blossoms wafted out.
I don't know if it's the effect of the fragrance of the spirit knife, Rin's cough gradually weakened.
Yae Ji put Sakura Fukiyuki next to Rin's shop, and the scent of cherry blossoms neutralized the pungent smell of blood on his body.
"I went out and killed a few demons, and nothing happened. What about Sakura? Why didn't she take care of you? ”
Yae Rin's eyes slowly focused, and he coughed lightly a few times, and said, "Sister went to the council hall." ”
"Still there?" Yae Ji raised an eyebrow, he had eliminated the source in the valley...... Glancing at the sky, it may have been that he went early.
Yae Ji was not entangled, he knew that the so-called assembly must be another quarrel about the sacrifice.
But who would dare to fight Rin's idea...... A sinister aura flashed on Yaeji's still immature little face.
Carefully stretched out his hand, took the handkerchief, and gently wiped the blood from the corner of Rin's mouth.
"Brother." Rin suddenly said, "Can my illness be cured?" ”
Yae Ji's hand trembled, and he took it back without moving.
Laughing: "Stupid, don't think nonsense. Rin is a good boy, and the gods will protect you. ”
A smile appeared on Rin's little face.
Yae Ji carefully let Rin lie down in the bunk, then stood up.
"When your illness is cured, let's go to the mountain to see the cherry blossoms together."
"Hmm." Rin nodded her little head and smiled healingly: "A word is a certainty." ”
"It's a deal."
"Okay, I still have something to do when I go to the back mountain, let Sakura Fukiyuki accompany you here. Don't touch the blade~"
"Got it!"
Yae Ji thought about it, put down the scabbard and walked out of the room alone.
At the door, he turned around: "Wait for me to come back and decoct the medicine for you." ”
"Good~"
Yae Ji smiled at Rin again and turned to leave.
The moment he turned around, his smile narrowed, and his whole person became gloomy.
When he saw Daisuke before, Daisuke was also like Rin, coughing all the time, and his whole person was skinny.
And Daisuke, most likely, was affected by that strange crystal. After Sakura Fukiyuki absorbed the crystals, except that his power had weakened, there was nothing abnormal, and he dared to put the blade next to Rin.
As I gazed, a blue panel reappeared in front of my eyes.
Material bar.
Fragmentation crystallization
"Honkai can ...... Honkai Energy ...... If you get a little dirty, you will become a corpse. And what about Rin? ”
Yae Ji gritted his teeth, he seemed to know the reason for Rin's illness. He desperately wanted to know how to cure the "Honkai" thing.
......
At the same time, the controversy in the council behind the Yae-Shrine also entered a white-hot stage.
Yae Sakura, dressed as an alternate shrine maiden, knelt beside the Yae Divine Lord very obediently, bowing her head slightly, and never expressed her opinion.
"Lord God! It hasn't rained in three months! Please hold another festival! ”
"Didn't you just have a sacrifice a month ago? Why hasn't it rained yet? ”
"Mother-in-law! You should say something.,After Daisuke broke in to explain the situation a month ago.,But you went to inspect the offerings.。 ”
......
