The banquet was held smoothly and lively.

Almost all of them mingle happily with the youkai.

Everyone mixed together to eat and drink, and there was talk and laughter on their shoulders.

Young men and women are talking and laughing, and the sparks of mutual affection are very enviable.

Of course, during this period, there were also funny scenes of being slapped in the face or rejected on the spot after a failed collision.

The foreign appearances of the monsters after getting drunk are even more endless at this time, which can be described as full of jokes.

The children's giggling, chasing, and slapping game scenes can be seen everywhere, and at the same time, they are also busy taking care of their families.

Especially the full-time nanny of no man and no woman, who were made by the naughty children and lacked skills, they worked hard and felt very satisfied!

At present, the joyful atmosphere has swept away all the shadows in everyone's hearts.

Instead, a bright smile was shining on everyone's face.

Except for the two masters and apprentices, the Great Witch and Tsuiko......

"Master, shall we go and talk about it?"

Somewhere in front of a bonfire, Tsuiko pulled the sleeve of the great witch, and the expression on her face was very hesitant.

She secretly observed someone who was surrounded by ministers not far away, pushing cups and changing lamps, and laughing heartily.

The Great Witch took a deep breath a little nervously, let out a long breath and said, "Let's wait a little longer, Cuizi, the situation may not be as bad as we thought......"

Looking around, the great witch who is in this sea of joy at this moment really can't do such a disappointing thing as pouring cold water.

Leaving aside whether she would upset anyone by doing so, one thing is for sure, others will definitely be unhappy!

"Sister Tsuiko!!"

Just when the great witch was distracted, Fujiwara Kazumi walked over with her son Fujiwara Yu in her arms.

The little guy was very excited when he saw Tsuiko, broke free from his mother's arms and jumped off, and then a rocket mallet threw himself into Tsuiko's arms and began to be coquettish.

Kazumi Fujiwara looked at the interaction between her son and Tsuiko with a smile, and she felt like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law.

"The Great Witch, I don't know what's going on? What's the trouble? ”

Fujiwara and Mimoto, who were escorted by several dog demons behind them, were going to visit Douya to toast a drink.

Passing through here, I accidentally met the big witch, and my son Xiaoyou made a lot of trouble when he saw Cuizi.

Kazumi Fujiwara, who couldn't do anything about his son, temporarily changed his plan and came over to say hello.

The great witch didn't dare to snub Fujiwara Kazumi, and quickly got up to greet the other party and sat down on the clean tatami mats.

After sending a glass of turbid wine, the big witch did not rush to say what was on her mind, but pulled up the parents.

Mrs. Fujiwara smiled, and she was a little relieved about a little thing...... Anyway, why didn't you see Mr. Fujiwara? ”

"You said he's probably still busy now......"

Picking up the wine glass and drinking it all, Kazumi Fujiwara pouted with some subtlety, which was quite cute.

"That's true, I just said that I wanted to come and toast to Lord Douya, but that guy was good, and he was called away by Shinnosuke without a word."

"Oh? I wonder what matters so much? The great witch poured Fujiwara Kazumi full of wine, and naturally answered.

In this regard, Kazumi Fujiwara, who was playing with the wine glass, tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "It seems to be a problem with the property in the village, but I don't know the details." ”

The Great Witch nodded, then diverted the subject.

——

——

In front of the Fujiwara Mansion, which has become a ruin.

Kazuya Fujiwara, who was accompanied by his own servants, hurried with Shinnosuke.

Kazuya Fujiwara, who didn't even breathe, shouted at the dog demons who were digging a pit on the ruins somewhere.

"Hey! Taro! How's it going? Have you found everything? ”

On the ruins, the captain of the inu, named 'Taro', hears the voice of Kazuya Fujiwara.

He turned his head to look at the other party, and then ordered the other canines to continue digging, and he jumped over with a light body.

"Unfortunately, the contents of the three warehouses are gone."

As soon as he landed, Taro, who was not smiling, gave Kazuya Fujiwara a big blow.

"What!" Fujiwara, whose face turned pale instantly, was also a little panicked, and his whole body was trembling.

As I said earlier, Kazuya Fujiwara is in charge of the money bags of the entire Inugami Village.

And now the ruins that are being searched and sorted out by the dog demons are the warehouses that Fujiwara Kazuya usually uses to store his belongings!

Over the past decade, Kazuya Fujiwara has improved the economy of Inugami Village as a whole through his business acumen and at the same time leading the people of the village.

It can be said that almost all the villagers of Inugami Village are working for him! And since you want people to work, then you have to pay the salary, right?

If there is still some money in the warehouse, no matter how much or how little, Fujiwara Kazuya can accept it.

But right now, in the three large warehouses, after careful inspection by the dog demons, inside and out, I learned it.

Be neat and tidy! Not even a single hair!

There was not a penny in the warehouse, which made Fujiwara Kazusome unacceptable.

At this moment, Fujiwara Kazuya believes that he can give the salary in the past now, and everyone will not ask for it, but they will return the money to themselves.

Why?

Because what everyone wants now is not money, but food!

Previously, Kazuya Fujiwara and Shinnosuke had already confirmed the food in the village.

All nine granaries were destroyed, and the food collected now was only enough for a few days.

Therefore, someone will be able to take money from the warehouse and go to other countries to exchange for food, and try to survive the difficult situation.

But now, looking at the empty warehouse, Fujiwara Kazuya deeply feels what it means to despair......

"How so...... Even if other possessions were to be destroyed by fire, what about silver and gold? Is it also burned to ashes! What a joke! ”

Fujiwara Kazuya, who was a little out of control, wanted to rush into the warehouse to find it himself, but fortunately he was pressed by the quick-eyed Taro.

"Calm down, Lord Fujiwara, it's still very dangerous inside, and if you run in like this, it will be easy to cause a landslide!"

"Damn—I want to calm down now! But how do you calm me down! ”

Kazuya Fujiwara, who was red-eyed, stretched out his hand and roared in the direction of the campfire behind him.

"There are thousands of people out there waiting for me to come out with the money, and now! How much do you think my life is worth? And how much grain can be exchanged? ”

Taro grabbed Fujiwara Kazuya's shoulders tightly and said solemnly: "Although the money is gone, the situation is not what you think!" ”

"Listen to me, although the fire did burn some of the belongings."

"But real money will never be burned to ashes, they will be taken away!"

As soon as these words came out, they were shocked!

Fujiwara also looked at Taro with a dull expression.

"You say...... What the? ”

"I said, someone took all the money after we died!"

Taro, who was categorical, pointed to his nose and said, "I am a dog demon, and distinguishing scents is a basic ability for us. ”

"In the process of inspecting the warehouse, not only me, but also my team members, everyone smelled a lot of strange smells that were not from the village."

"There's one of the smells left behind by the guy who followed Lord Douya, and I won't be mistaken......

As he spoke, Taro turned his head to look in the direction of the campfire.

"Let's go, let's go and confront him, maybe we can recover those missing belongings!"

"So what are you waiting for! Come on! ”
