Chapter 18: Goodbye, Friends

When I got home, I collapsed on the floor at the door, and I was empty. After lighting the lamp, he crawled over and kicked me again: "Go and get your hands right." ”

I struggled to sit up and untied the bandage, the gash on it getting longer. Phantom put a jar of medicine next to me and said:

"Are you going to stay here forever, or do you want to leave?"

I didn't react, why did I suddenly say this, "Why are you asking me this question?" ”

"Now that the problems of the village are almost solved, if you don't think about your own affairs, do you want to be the same as Cuizi here?"

"No ......"

Is it here for the rest of your life? But Tsuiko is no longer there, and I have to find a way to get out the Jade of the Four Souls, and last time it rejected me.

If you've been here, you're bound to have a stumbling block.

Phantom also told me that if I stayed here, it would be a danger to the village. "You said that many monsters will rob the Jade of the Four Souls, and there will be no more peace in the village."

So, it really is.

"In other words, I can't stay in any place in the future, otherwise, it will bring disaster."

In that case, am I a veritable disaster?

"That's pretty much it. So you must take care of your body first, you still have a lot of trouble in the future. ”

As he spoke, someone came outside.

"Rain-sama."

I told them many times not to call me that, but they didn't listen, so I let them go.

"What's the matter?"

As soon as I answered, Phantom motioned for me to leave it alone. Well, we'll have to see if it's serious.

"The monster of the shrine ......" The villagers were hesitant, and I opened the curtain and asked:

"What's wrong with it?!"

When he saw my appearance, he was surprised and said, "My lord, are you hurt?" ”

"It's okay, what's wrong with the hundred-legged demon woman?"

The villager took out a child from behind, "The child was naughty, and when he saw that the bracelet on the monster's head was beautiful, he took it to the field to play with ......"

Speaking of this, he looked at my bad face, pressed the child's head and said, "Don't apologize to Lord Yu yet!" ”

I ignored him and asked, "Where's the bracelet!" ”

"Drop, drop."

"What?!"

When the child heard me raise his voice, he was so frightened that he hid behind him. This kid must have never been beaten, and he even dared to take things from the shrine.

"What happened to the bones of the youkai in there?"

I asked as I picked up the guy.

"There's no movement yet."

Now that it's not coming soon, this group of people is really uncomfortable.

"Transfer all the people who are close to the shrine, and then tell the demon slayer to get ready, and everyone else will go to the field to find the bracelet for me."

"Yes, yes."

The villager nodded in fear, and before leaving, I quietly glared at the unlucky child, and scared him into tears before I ran away.

I heard that the villagers had been teaching the child a lesson.

"After such a catastrophe, I still have a face to cry!"

"Get out of here and lead the way, where did you go with the holy relics?!"

……

I went to the shrine, and sure enough, the bracelet was gone. Seeing that the bones were still lying quietly, I approached step by step with my sword, and was about to pierce its head and seal it for the time being, when it suddenly opened its eyes and woke up.

"Jade ...... of the Four Souls"

It smacked me with its head, then burst through the roof and flew into the air. The wood chips that fell from it fell on me, and the first thing I thought was that I was glad I didn't change my clothes.

It also wanted to crush the house and bury me inside. I ran out of the house and watched where it was.

It floated above and stared at me, "The Jade of the Four Souls." ”

I guess it was my proximity that brought it back to life.

"Rain!"

"Rain-sama!"

Xiaohui and everyone else came over and confronted it with me. Seeing this situation, the monster did not dare to come back and fled to a high place.

"I will definitely come to snatch the Jade of the Four Souls again!"

It's really endless, and we have to find the bone eating well as soon as possible.

"It says the Jade of the Four Souls, do you know what it is?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Like, what the hell is it talking about?"

……

The villagers are talking, they still don't know what the Jade of the Four Souls is, if they know it's in my body, what will they think of me?

…… Forget it, don't want to know.

I stepped forward and said, "Did you find the bracelet?" ”

"Not yet."

"Keep looking!" I feel like I should be speaking in a rather stern tone.

"But now it's dark, and the youkai are gone."

I glared at the man who said this, and he shrank his head, and the atmosphere was momentarily awkward.

The village chief came out to adjust, "The bracelet is a holy relic, it can't be lost, light the torch and look for it." ”

Everyone dispersed, and Xiaohui came over to comfort me, "Rain, don't worry about them." ”

"It's fine." I looked at her right hand, "How are you?" ”

"I'm fine, too."

Xiaohui is quite open-minded, and sighs again, good girl.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that someone found the bracelet in the ditch, and then the village chief told everyone to go back to sleep.

"Rain-sama." The village chief walked over and said, "Don't be angry with them. ”

I touched the bracelet and shook my head, "I'm not angry, and the village chief, you are an elder, so you don't need to use honorifics on me." ”

The village chief smiled, "Hehe, that's good, Xiaohui, they grew up with you, tell them if you have any worries." ”

The village chief really cared about me, and when everyone thought I was going to die, he left me a good tomb.

I smiled at him, "Thank you, village chief." ”

"Okay, let's go and rest."

The village chief walked away with his hands behind his back. I didn't feel sleepy and walked up the hill to sit. This is the place where Grandma Asu died, and I never dared to come before, every time I would hallucinate, but now I don't feel anything.

Is this considered to be seen through? em…… It could also be thick-skinned.

Phantom silently stayed by my side and said, "You haven't played the flute in a long time, have you?" ”

"Don't you always say that I don't blow well?"

"It's a long time since I've heard it."

I took out my flute, didn't think about anything, didn't listen to anything, and played whatever music came to my head for the first time.

I didn't know what I was blowing, and watched as the torches in the village went to the houses and then went out. Some houses were destroyed and had to live in temporary places. Everyone was busy, and finally calmed down.

In the back, what I played was no longer the song that Ah Su taught me, it was all the mood at this time.

When the first rays of the sun shone on my head, Asu came over, and he sat beside me and listened for a while, and then when I stopped, he said:

"When did you learn a new tune?"

"No, it's a brag."

Asu rubbed his foot against the grass and said, "I know you're upset. ”

"Megumi told you that?"

"Well, Tsuiko-sama hasn't let you participate in these trivial matters before, in fact, it's good to get used to it, and we're all on your side."

“…… Well. ”

I watched as the rising sun illuminated the ruined part of the village. My heart was pounding, and I wanted to tell him about my decision now.

"Asu, I'm leaving."

"Why?" Ah Su sat across from me, "This is where you grew up, are you willing to leave us?" ”

I pointed to my chest, "The Jade of the Four Souls is inside, and in the near future, all youkai and people will come and snatch it." ”

"Then you can't go! We've got you covered! ”

I immediately asked, "Do you want to put everyone in danger in order to protect me?" ”

Asu hesitated, and I added, "I still have to find a way to make the jade disappear, so I have to go." ”

"So, will you come back?"

"Hmm."

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow."

……

I packed my baggage, grabbed my sword, and stood in the distance watching Asu instruct the villagers to move things.

Phantom asked, "Is it okay for you to lie to him like this?" I'm going to leave now. ”

"I don't want to make it too sad, I've said everything I need to say anyway."

I asked Asu to find a place to make a cottage, and now this place is too flat, there is no obstruction around, and now there is no barrier, and the enemy is like no man's land.

I also told him that if there is a person who asks people to see the Yin Sword to hire a demon slayer in the future, he must not agree.

There is also the Jade of the Four Souls, which must not be touched or collected.

Having said that, whether the ending will change depends on the providence of cao (one sound) and dan (four sounds).

"What about mica? Do you usually like it so much that you don't take it with you? ”

"Take it to suffering? It can also help them if it stays here. ”

"Huh...... Woman. ”

“……”

I walked out, and when I got to the woods, something was hanging from my trouser leg, and I stopped to see that it was mica.

I picked it up, "Why did you come out with you?" ”

The mica struggled to meow at me, and I was distressed to hear its voice, it was a loyal youkai. I crouched down and stroked its head.

"Mica, you can't come with me, you have to stay and help me protect Asu and them, and everything in the village."

The mica whimpered, her eyes were so sad that they were not round, wrinkled into a aggrieved appearance, and there were tears in her eyes. It is the most affectionate and the most neglected one, and no one would have thought that it also needs comfort.

"Mica, if I succeed, I'll bring Tsuiko back, and we'll be together again."

I don't look at it anymore, and I step back and separate it with an enchantment. It watched me scratch the barrier.

"I'm sorry."

I turned and ran away.

Phantom said: "Don't you go to see the stalactite cave?" ”

"No, I'll wait until I find a way."

Wait for the Jade of the Four Souls to be taken out, if there is really such a day, I hope I can take Cuizi home.
