Chapter Seventy-Three: The Great Witch, Tsuiko, and the Cat

Boom β€”β€”!

The sudden explosion shook the pebbles on the ground.

Cuizi, who was walking on the street, was suddenly startled, and subconsciously reached out to touch the arrows in the quiver on her back.

"Relax Tsuiko, control your heart, don't be surprised, there will be no danger in this village."

The Great Witch pressed Tsuiko's emaciated shoulders and reminded her.

Tsuiko, who came back to her senses, put down her arm and found that the passers-by on the street really didn't think much of the explosion just now.

It's as if they have listened too much, and after listening to it for a long time, they naturally get used to this kind of thing happening.

Confused, Tsuiko followed closely behind the Great Witch and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on the conversations of passers-by.

"Oops, is it again? Youxiang's girl, it's really not reassuring, hahaha! ”

"Yes, yes, it's good to let someone marry her as soon as possible, let her stay at home obediently with her husband and children, and save yourself from blowing up all over the village."

"That slippery scoop too, knowing that Yuxiang has a bad personality and always provokes her, one day it really becomes fertilizer, I guess I won't be surprised."

"Hahahaβ€”β€”!" x3

Holding the hand of the great witch, Tsuiko eavesdropped as she walked.

When the two of them were about to arrive at their destination, Tsuiko also scraped together and barely sorted out the clue.

"Yuxiang, and Slippery Scoop? Is it a youkai? Everyone is talking about the two of them, and the explosion just now, could it be that they ......?"

"What's wrong, Tsuiko? When we arrived, what were we thinking? ”

The Great Witch smiled kindly, raised her hand and touched Tsuiko's little head.

Coming to her senses from her wandering, Cuizi cheered up and shook her head, and said obediently: "There is no master, have we arrived?" ”

"Well, here, let's go inside, remember, don't be rude."

The Great Witch tidied up Tsuiko's dress, and then led Tsuiko into the mansion in front of her.

Before entering the door, Tsuiko subconsciously looked up and observed the door number, and the word 'Fujiwara' was written on it.

Because the door is open, there is no step to knock.

As soon as the master and apprentice entered the front yard, a sweeping servant spotted them.

"You are...... Yes! It's a shrine maiden-sama.,Please come in, please come inβ€”"

The servant greeted the pair of witches and apprentices with a warm attitude, and it seemed that they still knew each other.

Seeing this, the Great Witch smiled humbly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to trouble you again." ”

"Where, where is the witch lady's heart is kind to the people, this little thing is not enough to worry about, please come with me."

The great witch was not too modest, and while nodding with a smile, she waved her hand and motioned for Tsuiko, who was distracted by the scenery in the courtyard, to follow.

When the three of them came to the parlor, the servant ordered the hand to bring refreshments and snacks, and after saying a few words of please, he turned around and went out to inform his master.

Tsuiko sat obediently and quietly beside the great witch, sometimes observing the environment in the room, sometimes looking down at the refreshments in front of her.

After all, he is still a child, and he does not have much resistance to the temptation of good food.

The Great Witch noticed this, and said with a touch of tenderness on her face, "Cuizi, eat as much as you want." ”

"Ahh - Thank you, master! I'm moving! ”

Tsuiko, who got the consent, was pleasantly surprised, and she couldn't help it with saliva for a long time.

Sweets, especially dumplings, are Tsuiko's favorite.

Just when the master and apprentice were drinking tea and waiting for dumplings.

In the corridor outside the house, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near.

The great witch put down the teacup in her hand and said lightly: "Cuizi, don't eat it, remember the etiquette." ”

Cuizi was startled, hurriedly swallowed the dough in her mouth, and hurriedly wiped the powdered sugar from the corner of her mouth a few times, but unfortunately she didn't wipe it clean.

The door slammed open!

Kazuya Fujiwara, who is nearly forty years old, is no longer as frizzy as he was ten years ago.

He is now one of Douya's retainers, and he is also in charge of the commercial economy of the entire Inugami Village.

The temperament of self-confidence and success is always by his side.

In addition, Cuizi can't see the ugly face of the landlord Lao Cai on him at all.

On the contrary, Tsuiko sees nothing but gentleness and humility in Kazuya Fujiwara.

It seems that his every move is showing the four words politeness.

"Hahaha! The magpie was calling from the branches this morning, and I knew there must be a guest in the house. ”

"I didn't expect it to be the Great Witch! Welcome, welcome! As soon as Kazuya Fujiwara spoke, he was very comfortable to hear.

"Hehe, Mr. Fujiwara is still in style and in good health, so I'm relieved."

Before the topic began, the Great Shrine Maiden and Fujiwara Kazuya greeted each other.

Tsuiko wasn't very interested in the polite words between these adults, rather than wasting saliva here.

On the contrary, she was more concerned about the demonic spirit in this room......

Although Tsuiko is only ten years old, it has only been a few years since she stepped into the ranks of shrine maidens.

But Tsuiko's talent is very high, high enough to make her master and great witch look at it!

No matter what spell Tsuiko learns, she can learn it in the fastest time and draw inferences!

Her eyes flashed with the brilliance of her aura, and Tsuiko, who had turned on her spiritual vision, could clearly see that there was a faint demonic aura lingering in this room.

And in addition, Tsuiko also saw a parasitic demonic power in Fujiwara Kazuya's body that was about to take shape!

What makes Tsuiko feel strange is that, in general, humans are parasitized by demonic powers.

Isn't it going to be empty, sluggish, and sick all day long?

This is just a person who is entangled by the demonic power of an ordinary little monster.

Tsuiko looked at the demonic power on Fujiwara Kazuya, and it was about to take shape!

This is obviously the demonic power of a high-level monster, not to mention this situation on ordinary people.

Even if it is put on the bodies of cultivators like them, they will not be able to bear it for a few days, and they will die in Huangquan!

On the other side, Kazuya Fujiwara, who was chatting and laughing with the Great Shrine Maiden, noticed Tsuiko's presence.

He couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "Lord Witch, may I ask who this is?" ”

"Don't hide it from Mr. Fujiwara, this girl is a disciple I accepted two years ago, and she is not yet a weapon, and bringing her here today can be regarded as seeing the world."

The great shrine maiden glanced at Tsuiko and said, "Tsuiko, why don't you come and meet Mr. Fujiwara." ”

"This lord is a great good man who provided food during the famine in our Anyi country, and he is not allowed to be rude."

Cuizi, who was called by her name, was suddenly startled, and hurriedly leaned over to greet her: "Little girl Cuizi! I've seen Mr. Fujiwara! ”

"Hahaha! It turned out to be a cuizi witch, worthy of being a disciple of the great witch, not only is she cute, but she also has a special aura, which is very good. ”

Cuizi, who was praised, was a little shy, and her little face was flushed, she was almost cute.

"Oh, yes! I don't have any gifts to give when we meet for the first time, so I'll give you this bracelet. ”

Kazuya Fujiwara took out a red string bracelet from his sleeve and handed it to Tsuiko.

Cuizi didn't know whether to take it or not, and turned her head to look at the master on the side.

The Great Witch nodded with a smile and said, "Since it is Mr. Fujiwara's kindness, Tsuiko, don't hurry up and take it." ”

"-Thank you!"

After receiving the red string bracelet, Tsuiko found that there was a glass bead the size of a soybean on the bracelet.

Girls,There's usually no resistance to pretty things.。

Tsuiko took the bracelet and happily put it on her left wrist.

This greeting is also over, and the greeting gift is also given, and Fujiwara Kazuya begins to cut to the chase.

"Lord Great Witch, this time, is there any chaos in Anyi's country?"

"Alas...... To tell you the truth, youkai have been wreaking havoc and destroying the village lately. ”

"In addition, the weather has been dry for a long time and there is no rain, which has led to many people complaining about the lack of harvest at home."

After the Great Witch talked about business, the smile on her face disappeared, and she was replaced by a sad frown.

"For this reason, the lord of the country and the lords of various places have sent us out many times to suppress and exterminate demons."

"But how can I control the whole situation with my meager strength?"

"Now there is a catastrophe and chaos of the resurgence of famine in the country, in order to prevent the tragic situation of starvation all over the country again."

"I came to Mr. Fujiwara on my own initiative and asked Mr. Fujiwara to give me food to save the lives of my people!"

As she spoke, the great witch who knelt down and continued to say: "Of course, I don't want Mr. to give alms for free, if Mr. is willing to promise to lend a hand, I will return to China and ask the lord of the country to open up trade routes and let everyone trade in currency, please!" ”

Although Tsuiko is young, she is mentally precocious, and she can understand how much worse the environment she lives in is than here in Inugami Village.

It can be described as a heaven and an earth. In her village, I don't know how many people were starved to death.

But look at it here, everyone is full of energy, their faces are still full of smiles, and the children are very happy.

This beautiful and peaceful scene has never appeared in Tsuiko's memory!

Therefore, while the Great Witch bowed down, Tsuiko also bowed down and pleaded.

Seeing this, Fujiwara Kazuya did not immediately open his mouth and agreed to take responsibility.

After all, there has been a similar plot once before.

A few years ago, An Yiguo was also in a famine.

He reported the problem to Douya, suggesting that he could use the opportunity to buy and sell grain to open up trade routes to neighboring countries.

But who knows, the grain was delivered, and when the famine in Anyi Country passed, this trade route was still not established.

Later, Fujiwara Kazuya learned that it was the lord of Aki Province who refused to establish a trade route because he was unwilling to trade with a group of guys who were in the company of monsters.

After learning about this, Fujiwara Kazuya smiled and didn't pay attention to it, after all, he couldn't force this kind of thing, right?

Besides, Douya knew about it, so he didn't have to care, don't look at the neon island country is small, but there are many countries hidden in it!

In the future, there will be more countries that lack food and want to establish trade routes with them, and we will not miss it as a family.

After thinking about it for a long time, Fujiwara Kazuya felt that he still couldn't make up his mind.

"Well, you two might as well stay with me first, and then give an answer after I go to report to my lord?"

The Great Witch thought for a moment and nodded.

Anyway, just when the adults were discussing things, Tsuiko suddenly found it on the fence outside the house.

Squatting is a petite and cute, wagging two tails of a cat and a monster.

Tsuiko tilted her head when she looked at the cat again, and the cat on the wall also tilted her head.

At that moment, Tsuiko seemed to like this cute little monster.
