Days after the robbers attacked the village.

In the village chief's house in good condition.

"Inugami-sama, I wonder if we are satisfied with the hospitality?"

The old village chief who knelt in front of him could be said to have put his posture to the lowest, and even to the point of being humble.

Even when he spoke, he was respectful and cautious, for fear that he would accidentally offend the person in front of him.

Although the other party was a great benefactor who saved their entire village, they ......

They're youkai!!

"It's okay, it's good, thank you for your hard work."

Put down the dishes and chopsticks, and lick off a grain of raw rice from the corner of his mouth.

It is said that after saving this village that was attacked by bandits, Douya and Ling Yue Xianji did not rush to leave, but stayed.

Of course, this was requested by Douya, and Ling Yue Immortal Ji didn't care. Anyway, for Xian Ji, she is where the fighting teeth are.

The fighting teeth that stayed behind relied on their brute strength to save people and help rebuild in the past few days.

Inside and outside the entire village, you can almost see the figure of Douya.

Ling Yue Immortal Ji didn't understand this, but she didn't want to think about it either.

Anyway, in her heart, her man's actions must have his deep meaning.

As long as you stand behind him silently and support him, don't meddle and drag him back to disturb him.

In this way, Douya and Lingyue Xianji, who only have the name of husband and wife but have no husband and wife.

With each other's tacit knowledge, the relationship quietly went further.

Congratulations!

Back to the point.

Spent four or five days busy fighting teeth in the village.

Today, I've finally done everything I can.

No, as soon as it was over, the old village chief brought a group of people to invite Douya and Ling Yue Xianji.

Although there is no need to eat anymore, even the gods will inevitably have a time when they are hungry.

Coupled with the fact that an old village chief and the others are so enthusiastic, it doesn't matter if Ling Yue Xianji eats it or not, anyway, Douya is to save face.

Although it was not a delicacy on the table, at least it was the greatest wish of the people of the village.

After a coarse meal of tea and light meal, the old village chief chatted with Douya.

"Inugami-sama! On behalf of the surviving villagers, I am very grateful to the adults for saving their lives! ”

After the women to be served have removed all the scraps and dishes.

Douya looked at the old village chief whose head was tightly attached to the tatami mat and his rickety body trembled slightly, and he always had a strange feeling in his heart.

He obviously didn't do anything, why would this old man be afraid of being like this?

Could it be that my efforts these days have been completely useless?

Youkai are no strangers to the neon people of the Warring States period.

From an early age, their parents would instill in them such basic fears as 'youkai are scary', 'youkai are cannibals', 'you must run if you encounter a youkai or you will die', and so on. Therefore, the neon people who have carved the fear of monsters into their souls, no matter how close and harmless they are, they can't completely dilute and disintegrate the fear of monsters in the hearts of the villagers in just one day or two.

There is a way to be; It is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God.

Although the old village chief has never read a book, he can't read a few big characters.

But a person who can live to his age in the Warring States period.

Basically, he has figured out a set of consciousness of his own.

Robbers and bandits, as ruthless as they kill and set fires, at least they will grab their things and leave.

But what about the monsters? Who can figure out the character of the monster?

Therefore, the old village chief was very worried that Douya's stay in the village to help was a superficial cover-up.

There may be some terrible plan hidden behind the scenes.

No matter how terrible the robber is, he is human after all, and at least there will be a bottom line.

But the monster acts, and you tell the bottom line with it? I'm afraid it's not that my brain has been eaten up by the soul sucking monster!

"I'll take it thanks to you—but isn't there something wrong with your village, why are there so few men?"

Douya, who deliberately changed the topic, didn't notice the old village chief's slightly stiff body movements.

Hearing someone talk about the problem of population, many terrible thoughts suddenly jumped into the old village chief's mind.

However, the old village chief, who couldn't refuse to answer, was full of bitterness at the moment.

"Returning to Lord Inushen, I hope you are magnanimous, recently the lord said that there was going to be a war, so he sent someone to take away all the strong men in the village, leaving only us lonely children, so ...... Therefore, if Inugami-sama insists on a sacrifice, then ...... the old man's life."

"Wait... Wait a minute! Slow me down! ”

When Douya heard the old village chief say that he was going to sacrifice for life, the whole person was not good.

"-Who said I was going to have a living sacrifice!?"

What is a life sacrifice?

A living sacrifice is a sacrifice of a living person!

In this chaotic Warring States era, the neon people can't survive anymore and are desperate.

They often go to the doctor in a hurry, and engage in some ignorant, ridiculous, and pitiful priestly activities everywhere.

Taking a living person for a life sacrifice ceremony is not just a neon specialty.

Evil rituals like this have existed in the history of almost every country!

Most of the time, people sacrifice to heaven and earth, or to ethereal gods.

But here, the neon of the Warring States Period, the object of the people's life sacrifice, nine out of ten are evil monsters that eat people!

Because human beings are the only primates in this world, the protagonists between heaven and earth.

Therefore, as soon as a human being born from his mother's womb, the flesh and blood in his body are pregnant with aura.

Those evil monsters are precisely because of the weakness of human beings and the great replenishment of flesh and blood.

will break into the human world at every turn, use life and death as a threat, and force human beings to sacrifice to them.

After all, youkai are not stupid, it is better to eat up a village in one go and then run to the next place.

If this infinite cycle continues, youkai will be tired......

So, they learned how humans kept animals in captivity, and they did the opposite and started captive humans.

In this way, youkai will be able to eat more than one person every year!

Back to the point.

Covering his face, Douya felt like he couldn't cry or laugh at the moment.

I feel that I have been busy in the village for so many days.

Far from improving the villagers' favorability of themselves.

Instead, there was a situation where an evil monster pretended to be kind and finally had bad intentions?

"Village chief, you misunderstanding, hehe, it's really big......"

"Please calm your anger! If you don't like the old man alone, then add the cheapness—"

"Enough!"

Interrupted the old village chief's terrible words when he heard it.

Let this old man continue to speak, Douya feels that he is really going to become those heinous villain monsters.

After realizing that the human means of communication he used were completely useless.

Douya began to reflect on his mistakes, and he was now a youkai.

Therefore, no matter how close and friendly you are to humans, the other party will never see you as a human being.

In this case, if the soft one doesn't work, then go straight to the hard one!

Anyway, I'm a monster, so let's abandon the human set.

It may be more effective to face humans with the attitude of a youkai.

"Listen up to humanity! - I'm not the evil youkai you think I am, so I don't need a sacrifice! No, you don't! ”

The old village chief stood up as soon as he saw Douya, and his tone and attitude became extremely majestic, and the whole person suddenly turned pale with fright, and his head was close to the ground.

"Yes! Okay - please ask Inugami-sama for your orders! ”

Note that the old village chief's attitude towards himself is more awe-inspiring, and while Douya is satisfied, he is also a little embarrassed.

After all, he severed the last trace of his relationship with humans......

"Listen up! From today on, this village will be my dog god cover! ”
