"Miss Ritsuko, I always think that the second little guy in that shop is a little strange."

After entering the room, Lu Li sat straight on the log table, dangling his legs, but frowned rarely.

"What's so strange?"

Ritsuko lifted the teapot, the tea was warm, smelled fragrant, and it was about a short time to be replaced.

His expression ......"

"Expressions?"

"It's not just him, it's the whole inn is weird, and I smell something that doesn't belong to a human being."

Lu Li looked at the bell on his ankle, and his brow tightened.

"A taste that doesn't belong to humanity? Mo is not your own? Ritsuko couldn't help but quip, "After all, you're the only one living here and you're not human, right?" ”

Lu Li didn't care about Ritsuko's expression, he just shook his head to himself, "The taste of the cloud ghost who has eaten people is still very different from that of the cloud ghost who has never eaten a person. ”

"So, what you smell is the smell of clouds and ghosts that have eaten people?"

"Exactly, that's why I think it's a little weird."

"I don't think so, maybe it's because I can't smell the smell you say, although the shopkeeper has some bad taste and likes to be scary, he still took us in, and he should be a good person."

"It's not that the shopkeeper isn't human, but I always feel hairy."

"Didn't you say before that the cloud ghost has no heart? Why do you have a heart? ”

"Of course, I still have blood, because I'm not that low-level cloud ghost, and I'm always very different from them." Yu Li looked at Ritsuko dissatisfied.

It seems to be protesting to her, don't always tease him like a child.

The appearance made her chuckle.

It's really cute.

"Yes, yes, you're not, but I guess it was you who inhaled the so-called mist to get this weird feeling, right? Don't you see I don't feel anything? Don't think about it. ”

"I hope so...... But Ritsuko-sama still has to be careful. ”

Faintly, Lu Li always felt that the strange feeling in his heart was aggravated.

This inn was strange, more strange than any inn I'd stayed in before.

"I'm going to trouble you to keep vigil tonight."

"It's natural, the cloud ghost doesn't need to sleep in the first place."

"The cloud ghost is really good, if you are in a hurry to come to the capital, wouldn't you be able to rush at night."

"If Miss Ritsuko also wants to be a cloud ghost, you can tell me, as long as you drink my blood, we will be the same race, and you don't have to drag the body of a human so easily to get tired."

Yu Li's eyes suddenly became shining, could it be that Miss Ritsuko finally changed her mind?

Looking at her expression again, it was not a particularly serious look, but more like a joke.

Some...... Lose.

"Your blood still works like this?"

“…… That's natural, after all, I'm different from those low-level cloud ghosts, I always have to have some special abilities. ”

Yu Li's eyes slipped and looked out the window at the rustling of leaves.

It's only a little bit away, and it's time for him to tell the identity of his ghost king again.

That's not what Ritsuko needs to know right now......

At least, now he is afraid, she will hate and fear herself because of her identity.

The cloud ghost is hateful to her.

But she still treated him so equally, remembering that he was different from the monster who killed him, and kept him by her side.

After all, all those killing powers were given by him......

"There is also this saying......" A cup of tea was down, Ritsuko actually felt a little sleepy, yawning one after another, and even the corners of his eyes seemed to be soaked with tears, "Yu Li, I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go to rest first, if you want to leave, remember to put out the candle." ”

"I'm right outside the house, Miss Ritsuko can call me if there's anything."

"Know ......"

By the time he quietly blew out the candle, Ritsuko's breathing had calmed down, and he couldn't see his red eyes in the night.

He checked the windows of the house again and locked them tightly. There was no suspicious smell around.

Lu Li stared at Ritsuko's turned back for a long time, and sighed lightly before leaving the room and closing the door tightly.

The hallway was dark without candlelight, except for the stars seeping through the other rooms, and the moonlight from the window at the end of the hallway was slightly darkened.

Outside the window, the sky was already clear, and the fog had cleared when we came.

With a light touch on his toes, he jumped out of the window, and went up to the roof of the inn in three or two clicks.

The moon is round and bright tonight.

In the moonlight, it was the mournful howl of a wild wolf.
