I kicked it with my foot, but it didn't move, so it shouldn't come back to life for a while, right?

"It didn't hit you, did it?"

"Nope." I introduced this monster to Phantom, "This is a hundred-legged demon woman, a monster that can perceive power, and as long as the Jade of the Four Souls is around, it can always be resurrected." ”

The auditory hallucinations told me to move away from it, "Then you're still so close to it?!" ”

"It's okay, I've found that as long as the bracelet is on its head, it won't move anymore."

"Huh? Didn't you just say that the bracelet didn't work? ”

"I'm also strange, the bracelet can't cover the breath of the Four Souls Jade on my body, but I can't feel it when I put it on it."

I don't think it's reliable, and I think too. But things in this world are inherently strange and cannot be explained by science, and there is no law to follow. If you insist on asking for a reason, you are just asking for trouble.

"Why don't you try it?"

Phantom suggested that I take the bracelet off and look at it, and I said to it, "Then be alert, if it attacks or escapes, you can do it." ”

"Okay, don't worry."

I crouched down in front of its head, and was about to fetch it, when I suddenly realized that I was not in a good position. As soon as it woke up, it saw me and made it easy for it to attack. I walked around to it, no, it was easy to turn around.

Eventually I went behind it and woke up and it couldn't see me. I sat on its back to keep it in check, and if it got up, I could push it down.

I picked up the bracelet a little bit, and I put it down as soon as it moved.

"Quack." A frog jumps over and does not respond.

Is it not enough distance? I was about to mention it a little more, when it suddenly opened its eyes and looked up with its fangs, and I was so frightened that the hand holding the bracelet slapped directly on its celestial lid.

The youkai fell back and didn't move.

I patted my chest, and it was a little scary. A great man said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Now I can be sure.

Phantom also understood: "It seems that if you want to get rid of it, you can only put his skeleton and bracelet together." ”

"No, I can't. The bracelet was left to me by Tsuiko, how can I let it be buried with a youkai? ”

"If we don't do this, it will harass us two or three times a day in the future, and we won't be able to get by?"

I thought about it for a moment and asked, "Is it okay to burn its skeleton with fire?" ”

If you burn to ashes, you can't resurrect it.

"No, ordinary fire can't burn the bones of a youkai."

Also, if it were that simple, there wouldn't be so many monster bones stranded in the world.

"By the way, is there any samadhi fire in this world?"

In mythology, it is a magic weapon for defeating monsters.

"I haven't heard of it."

Well, maybe the spell didn't come over. "There is no choice but to find the bone eating well."

"What bone-eating well?"

Phantom doesn't seem to know?

I described it as "a well that looks like a dry well on the outside, and if you throw the bones of a youkai into it, they will disappear." ”

“…… Is there such a well? ”

The attitude of denying the fantasy without thinking about it makes me wonder if there is no bone eating well at this time?

"I remember three hundred years from now."

"I haven't heard of it anyway, maybe not now."

Didn't you? So how did it come out? Was it created by someone?

Phantom climbed onto the monster's skull and said, "We'll talk about this well later, let's think about it first, where are these bones put tonight?" ”

yes, you can't just leave it here, and if the bracelet is taken away by something, it will be troublesome.

I suggested, "As long as the bracelet is there, it shouldn't be in danger, so let's move them to the shrine." ”

"Well, you can tell me about the characteristics of that well after you finish moving, and I'll ask a few monsters to ask around."

Phantom didn't think it was good that I was talking nonsense, "Thank you." ”

"Thank you, you should think about it now, how can you move so many skeletons over?"

Well, I looked at the long, white bones on the ground, and I couldn't do it without tools.

Phantom said, "I'm going to ask Asu for help." ”

"Eh, let him rest more, he's been through so much."

"Don't worry, my bad memories have all been changed by me, and now he must be in better spirits than you."

“…… All right. "I was going to see him tomorrow.

I stayed alone to look at the bones, and I thought, what if there is really no bone eating well? You can't really let my bracelet stay with it for the rest of your life.

Why don't you throw the corpse into the stalactite hole? Anyway, it was the grave of the youkai before.

Well...... Still no, that's where the Jade of the Four Souls was born, and throwing it there doesn't give it a chance to resurrect?

"Rain!"

Just as he was thinking about it, Asu brought a few people and came over with torches and carts.

Coming so soon?

"I'm here!" I waved at him.

Asu looked at the bones on the ground and asked them to be packed up before walking to me. I saw them moving the monster's head, and said:

"The bracelet on it is something to suppress the youkai, you must not get rid of it. Otherwise, it will be resurrected. ”

As soon as they heard that the bracelet was so important, they quickly added someone to hold the bracelet.

"Rain-sama, is this okay?"

Afraid of being mistaken, they asked for my opinion. I felt awkward when I heard what they called me.

"I'm not an adult, just call me by my name."

They looked at each other, "But you're a shrine maiden." ”

"Yes, you protect the village, we should respect you, how can we call your name directly."

All of a sudden, my status has improved so much, I'm a little resistant, and I didn't say what I'm going to do, why did I automatically push me to this position?

"Alright, you guys move things around."

Ah Su looked embarrassed and took the initiative to help me out of the siege. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright?" Asu was worried about my appearance.

"Huh? It's okay. ”

Why did he look at me like that? I didn't miss arms or legs, and I was fine.

"I know, Mizuko-sama...... Well, after you know about her, it will be very painful, I don't know how to comfort you, but with us, we will definitely get better and better. ”

I don't think he's feeling good himself, I guess he hasn't vented his emotions since he woke up, and he's suppressing his feelings and enlightening others.

His affection for Tsuiko is no less than mine.

"Hmm." I hugged him gently and let go: "It's hard work." ”

Ah Su nodded silently, walked into the darkness and wiped his face, and went to help. With them, the corpses were quickly assembled, and I was not at ease and specifically advised that the bracelet must not leave the corpses.

Finally I drew another sigil on them, but I don't know if it would work, because it was my first time using it, and I hadn't practiced it.

"You push the car into the shrine, and the corpses are just left there, and you don't have to move them down. As soon as there is a disturbance, I will immediately notify ...... "I have a look at Asu," and inform Asu. ”

I still don't want to be pushed into that position.

"Yes, Rain-sama."

They shouted loudly, and the cart was gone. Leave me in the mess, don't they realize that I don't want them to call me that?! I didn't plan to be a shrine maiden!

"There's no way around it." Asu explained to me, "You used to be by Tsuiko's side, so it was natural for everyone to think that you would inherit her mantle. And if you dress like this today, even if people who don't know you, they will respect you as a shrine maiden. ”

Forget the mantle or something, I can fish pond. I'll go change tomorrow!

When I got home, I habitually made the bed, and after making it, I realized that I had also made the emerald seeds. Phantom Eye is quick and crawls inside.

"From now on, the nest next to you will be mine."

I knew what it meant, and joked, "Aren't you afraid of being squashed by me?" ”

"Squash it, squash it, sleep and sleep."

Yokai doesn't have to sleep, it's just there for me. I touched the Jade of the Four Souls, Cuizi, you see, I can live well without your first night.

I tilted my head to look to the side and silently said, good night.
