"Hiss......"

When I woke up, my head was stuffed with cotton, and I still had a needle hidden, and I couldn't think normally after waking up with my eyes open for a long time, and I didn't know how to do it last night, and I dreamed of Inuyasha all night. Cuizi didn't know where to go again, the futon was still there, and the mica was nowhere to be seen, so it wouldn't be that she had packed up the monster again, and she didn't even have time to fold the quilt.

I took care of the house and sat for a while, but I really had nothing to do or decided to go out for a walk, since I was going to live here, I had to know something, otherwise I would feel like I was eating and drinking for nothing.

Some of the people in the village were doing farm work, and some were chatting on the side, which seemed to be a very peaceful scene, but it was just ...... Why did everyone walk away with serious expressions as soon as I walked around! There are also a few little ghosts hiding in the corner to look at me secretly, I can't even move my legs in this weird atmosphere, damn it, I'm not a demon and a monster, it's half a ghost to die, what's the matter with this defensive look? Not to mention talking to them, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get close, so I had to turn back, and I saw Ah Su again on the way.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Mistress Tsuiko." This guy is still thinking about apprenticeship.

"Tsuiko isn't here, I'm looking for her too."

"Well, I'll wait."

"Tsuiko just fought with youkai yesterday, you ......"

"Mizuko-sama is injured?!" Asu interrupted me nervously.

"That's not ......"

"Whew, that's good."

Looks like I care more about Tsuiko than I do? This Asu is simply Cuizi's fan brother, and the attitude of those villagers is completely different, it's really strange to think about the people in the village, who are both respectful and a little distant from Cuizi, what's going on?

"Are you from another village?"

"Ah, yes, I was rescued by Cuizi."

"No wonder you're talking weird."

Is the "......" so obvious? One or two said so.

"I don't know your name yet."

"Rain."

"Rain, I'll come to find Tsuiko in a few days, goodbye."

"Wait, why the hell are you learning to slay demons?" I don't believe in anything, just to go wherever I want.

Asu turned his head and whispered, "I want to lighten Mizuko-sama's burden. ”

After saying that, Ah Su ran away, leaving me alone in the same place, this is Cuizi's true love fan, absolutely! Tsuiko must be glad to know that such a child adores her and thinks about her, and I have to tell her quickly.

I didn't dare to go out of the village to look for it, so I wandered around for a long time, and finally found Cuizi and mica on a grassy slope.

"Tsuiko~" I ran towards her.

Tsuiko turned her head when she heard my voice, and wow! I was stunned by her face, how could it be as if she hadn't slept for days and nights, worse than yesterday when I was besieged by youkai.

"Cuizi, what's wrong with you, were you injured yesterday?"

"Nope." It's not good, even the voice is weak.

"I'm really worried about you like this, is there anything you can't tell me?"

"Nothing, just thinking about something, I'm sorry to worry you."

Cuizi has a slightly apologetic expression on her face, but her tone is thousands of miles away, I can't help but feel a pain in my heart, I thought that after all the things of yesterday, our relationship should be closer, although I still have something to hide, it is also difficult to speak. I simply didn't ask, and sat on the grass far away from Cuizi.

Mica sensed something, jumped into my arms, arched my palm with her head, my heart warmed, gently stroked Mica's fur, I also knew what Mica meant, but I couldn't guess Cuizi's thoughts, I glanced at Cuizi, she was also sitting, her back had always been straight, her eyes looked at the village, nothing was reflected, I suddenly remembered the last sentence that Asu said, is it a burden? Tsuiko has to fight youkai, heal the villagers, and often patrol the area around the barrier...... Uh, now there is one more thing, to take care of me, in this way, it will indeed be very tiring, it is actually normal to make a little awkwardness, not to mention that I haven't been here for a few days, she is not guarded and unscientific, what am I trying to do? After successfully convincing myself, I sat next to Tsuiko again, mica puffed up and lay behind us, just to lean on, Tsuiko touched Mica's head, and finally had a real smile on her face, for Tsuiko, mica is more important than anyone else, no one in the village is close to her, except for Asu...... By the way, I almost forgot about business.

"Cuizi, there is a child who wants to worship you as a teacher."

“？”

"He adores you and cares about you, and wants to fight with you."

"The kid...... Let's call it Aju. ”

"Well, you already knew?"

"The path I take will not end well, you should understand, just like the shrine maiden named Kikyo, this is our fate, I don't want to implicate other people."

"Everyone will die, but because of weakness, some people can only end miserably."

"Yes, I want to protect the life in this village, humans are too fragile compared to powerful monsters."

"I'm also weak, but I don't want to be protected all the time, I want to learn how to fight against monsters, even if I don't have spiritual power, I still have weapons, there is always a way to become stronger. The fate you are talking about is only heavy with so many lives, if we can all protect ourselves, you don't have to hold it alone, then you can also live an ordinary life. ”

Tsuiko listened to my words and laughed slowly, I was a little embarrassed, made a joke?

"If people can think like this, we cultivators will be much more relaxed."

"Naa Su ......"

"Even if he wanted to, his relatives might not agree."

Tsuiko relaxed, leaned on the mica, and stopped talking about the topic.

"What's your world like?"

"There are no monsters, no spells, just ordinary humans."

"Then I'd love to see it."

"......" Cuizi, when you say this, do you dare to show a little yearning expression!

"Rain, have you ever wondered why you're here?"

"Uh, no."

"Perhaps, the world will change in some way because of your arrival, such as ......" Tsuiko turned her head to look at me with a certain forbearance.

"What, what?"

"Change a person's tragic end!"

My heart shook, Tsuiko she, did she know something?! I didn't say anything last night, did I?

"If you show up three hundred years from now, you will definitely save that shrine maiden."

"Kikyo?" It turned out to be her.

"I can see you like her a lot."

"Aang, I like you too."

"Oh, but you don't have me in your story."

"That's hundreds of years later, how can I live that long, the important thing is that I met you, not someone else."

Cuizi wanted to speak and stopped: "Your body ......"

"I know I'm a child, but my soul is not a child, I'm an adult, and I'll remember what I said in the future." I grabbed Tsuiko's hand. "You are my savior, and you are also my sister, ah no, it is my sister, no matter what problems you encounter, I will always be with you like mica."

"I didn't mean that, but thank you for your kindness." Tsuiko also squeezed my hand.

We talked a lot about my world, her world, and three hundred years later, of course, avoiding the Jade of the Four Souls, but I underestimated the weight of this promise, so later, she was not injured in the jade, and I guarded her day and night. I accompanied her, shared three hundred years of desolation, and finally found the purpose of my visit.
