Yae Ji licked her chapped lips and swallowed subconsciously, but she didn't have any sweetness to moisten her throat.

A female ...... with ear-length pink hair The boy looked at the highest spot on the hillside, and his blue and purple eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

"Also, the water in the river is dry, and if the cherry blossom trees can still bloom, then hell."

The delicate boy muttered quietly, and from time to time he glanced up at the hillside, as if he wanted to wait for a miracle to come.

"What do you say to Rin? When the cherry blossoms bloomed the year before last...... I seem to be sleeping under a tree? Yaeji reminisced carefully, and soon came to the top of the hillside.

As far as the eye can see, there is a bare tree branch, and the ground under your feet has cracked in some places, not to mention the cherry blossoms in the sky, not even a petal can be seen. Yaeji had a bitter little face and looked at the ground pitifully.

Yae Ji touched the small bag he was carrying, he had promised Rin before to fill a small bag of cherry blossoms and bring it back, and now this plan can be said to be completely ruined.

"Click~"

The slender branches have lost their former toughness and can easily break when they are broken.

withered. If there is moisture and you want to break these branches, Yaeji is afraid that you will have to use all your strength.

The sun was high in the sky, and the cherry blossom season was far from so hot, but without the supply of water, a layer of fine sweat had already broken out on Yaeji's white forehead.

The cherry blossom trees on the hillside are almost always like this, and the mountain is full of bare branches, without any life, and it looks very desolate.

Yaeji found a stone and sat down, touched the small bag tied around his waist, supported his cheeks with both hands, and his little face was full of sorrow.

"How do you explain it to Rin?"

The cherry blossom trees planted in the shrine did not bloom, and he promised his sister, who was seriously ill at home, that he would definitely return with cherry blossoms on the mountain.

"Ah~"

The little hands frantically scratched and rubbed their hair, making a mess of a beautiful pink hair.

"Ahhh ——”

Yae Ji was stunned, he didn't scream so loudly. The little face was full of vigilance, and I don't know when it began, more and more fierce beasts roamed outside the village, and every time he walked out of the village, he would carry a special sachet made in the shrine to cover up his smell.

'Who is so careless?' ’

Yae Ji glanced at the village below the mountain, discerned the source of the scream, gritted his teeth, and cautiously dived towards the source of the scream.

The hillside is too far away from the village, and when he runs over to inform his father, the villagers will be done! As a member of the village who served the gods, he naturally had to take on the responsibility of protecting the village. This is the idea that his father has instilled in him since he was a child.

Of course...... Seeing that the form is wrong, he will not be stupid to go up.

Holding the training wooden knife on his waist with his left hand, Yae Ji hunched his waist and heard the sound all the way.

Through the bare cherry blossom trees and other withered plants, Yaeki poked out half of her small head and looked down the mountain.

A huge, bear-like beast bit the young man's upper body and shook wildly!

Yaeji's pupils constricted.

The limbs of the bear have obvious purple crystals, and when the sun shines, those crystals faintly reflect pink light, which is particularly beautiful.

Yae Ji doesn't think so.

That's a monster! The villagers of Yae Village call them 'yokai'! These monsters are infinitely powerful, and the witch who guarded the village in the last session died under the claws of the monsters.

Yae Ji's little face turned slightly pale, he thought it was an ordinary fierce beast, how could he have thought that it was such a monster! This hillside is close to the village, and if the village patrol finds a monster, they notify the shrine to deal with it.

However, around the village, there are generally no monsters, and there are quite a few fierce beasts that are slightly larger, and if they have a sharp blade in their hands, they dare to come forward and fight.

But youkai .......

Yae Ji vaguely remembers the first time the village killed a youkai, and the people happily carried the body back to the village. In this era, meat was rarely eaten, and the fierce beasts that appeared outside the village from time to time were a rare delicacy.

People only think that the monster is a larger beast, and after the barbecue and food...... Some villagers turned their bodies into gray and turned into monsters that only attack people! There are also some villagers who have a slightly stronger constitution, but after using too much meat, they will still turn into monsters.

Monsters have no consciousness and only attack humans, and my father said that it was the hatred of the dead youkai.

Yae Ji didn't know whether it was true or not, and he couldn't tell what it was.

According to common sense, he should return to the village as soon as possible and tell his father that he should lead Qingzhuang to kill the monsters.

But Yaju Ji didn't dare to move, and his pupils constricted to the extreme! This is the first time he has seen a monster eat a man!

The smell of blood easily covered up the smell of dust, and the corpse lying on the ground remained motionless, and the monster swallowed the man in just a few bites.

After the monster left, it took another ten minutes before Yae Ji dared to get up.

When he arrived, the bear-shaped monster was biting the man's upper body and frantically flailing, as if something had flown out of his pocket and smashed to the side.

And...... He could only understand what the man said except for screaming.

Even the poor man was wearing clothes that were very different from theirs.

"How could a stranger come here?"

Yae Ji walked towards the pool of blood, and there was not a single bone residue left at the scene except for the torn fragments of his clothes.

The blood droplets splattered in the blood beach and elsewhere always reminded Yae Ji of the ferocity of the youkai devouring people. Holding back the discomfort in his stomach, Yae Ji sought out the black shadow that was thrown away.

Not far away, Yae Ji found a "black shadow" under a dead tree. It was a strange rectangular thing, and it must have been thrown out of the man's pocket and hit the trunk of a tree before falling.

Yae Ji saw some familiar images from the rectangular ancient monster body above.

"Roar! ——”

The roar of a ferocious beast was heard in the distance, and Yae Ji immediately stuffed the strange rectangular item into a small bag and turned back from the mountain road from which he came. Don't think about it, it looks like the smell of blood will attract a lot of fierce beasts.

All the way back to the top of the mountain, you can see the scene of the village from above, and Yae Ji calms down. Take out that rectangular quirky item from the pouch.

"Huh?!"

One side of the strange rectangle is shining, and the people on the picture are ......

"Sakura?! How could Sakura be inside? ”

Yaeji's little face was shocked, this is not much better than seeing the scene of youkai eating people?

"Sakura won't be sealed inside by this evil box, will she?!"

"That's not right!" Yae Ji took a few deep breaths and looked carefully at the evil long box in his hand.

Sakura is his younger sister and has lived together since she was a child, how could he not know him?

Although the girl who was sealed in the evil long box was eight points similar to Sakura, Sakura was significantly smaller than her!

What's even more bizarre is that the "Sakura" sealed in the evil long box actually has a pair of pink donkey ears!

The girl "Sakura" wears the costume of a shrine maiden at Yaemura Shrine, which makes Yae Ji surprised and delighted.

"You're Sakura?"

"Why don't you speak?"

"Are you sealed inside?"

"If you're sealed inside, blink your eyes, and I'll find a way to get you out!"

The "Sakura" in the evil long box still didn't speak, and Yae Ji was in a hurry, and his little hand suddenly touched some button.

Suddenly a wonderful music erupts from the wicked crate!

Yae Ji's little hand shook, and he almost threw out the evil long box.

Yaeki suddenly remembered the legends of various yokai in the shrine, could it be that the "Sakura" in the evil long box was actually changed by demagogic yokai?

Yae Ji glanced at the evil long box with jealousy, and stretched out his little hand to "touch" the pair of "donkey ears".

"Huh?"

The girl "Sakura" in the picture suddenly changed her posture, and the expression on her pretty face also changed to disgust, standing sideways with her hands clasped to her chest, and ominous black gas came out of her body!

"The captain's supply is fully guaranteed, and the captain's copy has zero drops."
