Chapter XXXVII

The painting took root in the flag house, and Miya lived in it naturally.

Every day, Miya would chat with the painting.

Talking to himself, but smiling.

It looks a little weird.

The rest of the Qimu family was quick to accept the new tenant.

Although Miya was surprised why there were so many youkai in this human home, he was familiar with everyone after coming and going.

After all, there is not much estrangement between youkai and youkai.

In particular, kind-hearted yokai are more likely to accept each other.

And the monsters that can live in Qimu's house are naturally not evil spirits.

And the days passed.

On this day, the branches of the tree in the painting actually extended from the painting and appeared on the surrounding walls.

Tanuki looked at the painting with a solemn expression.

"There seems to be something strange about this painting. It's sucking demonic power. Tanuki whispered.

"Well, and it's sucking my demonic power."

Kakashi didn't know when he appeared behind Tanuki and said with a smile.

"And you're going to keep it here all the time?" Tanuki said angrily.

"Nothing. The demonic power it absorbs is insignificant to me, and there will be more than a little demonic power that will enter my body tomorrow. ”

"And what are you going to do here?"

"I'm a little curious about what this painting is going to do with the magic power. Anyway, if you have nothing to do, there may or may not be a surprise. ”

Seeing this, the raccoon man sighed helplessly and said, "You just do it, what if something happens?" ”

"That's even more fun." Kakashi laughed.

Well, Tanuki found out that this guy wouldn't be afraid of this little painting at all.

But it's no wonder how such a powerful guy could be afraid of this little painting.

Kakashi looked at the dark shadow in the painting, thoughtful.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that the black shadow in the painting seems to have a faint mental power.

And it's constantly growing.

It's not clear for the time being, but Kakashi has time, and this matter can be waited for slowly.

Doorway.

"Excuse me, is Kakashi-sama here?"

The person who came was a middle-aged man, dressed in a black suit, who looked very calm and sophisticated.

Xuan Hecui at the door appeared in shape, and the man was stunned for a moment.

"Are you Kakashi-sama's Shikigami? It's amazing. The middle-aged man laughed.

Xuan and Cui glanced at each other, but they didn't expect this human to be able to see youkai.

At this time, Kakashi also came out of the room.

"Who are you? I don't seem to know you. Kakashi whispered.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Kakashi-sama, I'm from the Iba clan. ”

"The Field?"

Kakashi was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the people of the field clan to find him.

"Yes, I'm sure Kakashi-sama should have heard of the name of the Ban clan." The middle-aged man said with a smile, and there was an inexplicable sense of pride in his words.

But it's no wonder that in today's demon slaying world, the field clan is the most powerful clan.

"Looking for me?"

"That's right, the head of our Ban clan, Shizu Ba, would like to see Kakashi-sama." The middle-aged man said.

"Shizuji?"

When Kakashi heard this, he remembered the boy he had seen before.

I haven't seen him since.

Unexpectedly, now he actually found himself.

What is the purpose?

"What's the matter with him looking for me?" Kakashi asked.

"I don't know about this little one. This is an invitation from Lord Kakashi, please be sure to appreciate your face. ”

The middle-aged man said, handing over a post respectfully.

Kakashi took it and said, "I see." Go back and tell the field, I'll go. ”

"That's great. Then I'll take my leave, Kakashi-sama, goodbye. ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned and left.

Kakashi looked at the invitation in his hand, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong? Kakashi? Tanuki said in a low voice.

"Nothing, I just didn't expect that guy to look for me."

"Shizuji of the field?"

"Well, this guy I met him once when I was a kid and is a man who will stop at nothing for the sake of the end. He must not have done anything good when he came to me. Kakashi chuckled.

"Are you still going?" Tanuki asked.

"Naturally, I'm going. I was curious to see what he wanted me to do. ”

"I think you're too bored and want to do something, right?" Tanuki complained.

"Haha, don't say it. Okay, it's time for me to go to school. ”

Kakashi snorted and went to school.

There is a lot to be done.

The next evening.

Somewhere in the forest.

"Welcome, this guest. The intersection is here. ”

Kakashi looked at the origin of the sound, a small youkai less than thirty centimeters.

"It's really heartfelt."

Kakashi laughed and followed the little youkai.

However, on the way, I met two acquaintances.

"Natsume, Natori, and kittens, you're here too?"

Kakashi looked at the two people and a cat not far away, slightly surprised.

Natsume and Natori also looked surprised when they saw Kakashi.

"Kakashi-sensei? Why are you here. Natsume wondered.

Natori looked at Kakashi and smiled, "Could it be Kakashi, you're also interested in the demon slayer's party?" ”

"A gathering of demon slayers? I don't know. I just got an invitation to the venue, so I came and have a look. ”

"The field?"

Natori was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect the field to appear at this time.

Natsume looked at the two of them and a cat with some strange eyes.

It's not the first time I've heard the name of the field, but I didn't expect Kakashi to have an intersection with this clan.

"Yes, although I don't know what that guy is doing, but since the other party invited me, there is naturally no reason not to come." Kakashi laughed.

"That guy's invitation isn't a good thing." Natori said.

"Then I'm even more curious. Since we met here, let's go over together. ”

So the three of them and one cat formed a team and went to the banquet.

It's a gathering of demon slayers, all of whom can see youkai.

Not long after walking, a huge red building appeared in front of the three of them.

Kakashi was amazed.

"This field family is really rich."

"It's just a small stronghold of the field clan, it's nothing." Natori whispered.

Kakashi shrugged, noncommittal.

"By the way, Natori, what are you bringing Natsume to this demon slayer's party?" Kakashi asked suddenly.

"Well, this involves a task I just received."

"Mission?"

"Recently, there was a youkai who kept eating Shikigami, and it just so happened that Natsume also saw this scene, so I asked Natsume to help me. I also came here to see how it went. Natori explained.

"So, Natsume, haven't you always been reluctant to get involved in this world?" Kakashi asked.

Natsume lowered his head and whispered, "I want to find something I can do." ”

When Kakashi heard this, he immediately laughed, "You guy is still the same. Forget it, sooner or later there will be this day anyway. But for now, I'd suggest you wear a mask to hide your identity. Not all the people here are good people. ”

Kakashi said, and with a flick of the fox mask on his left wrist, it landed on Natsume's face.

In an instant, a white fox mask covered Natsume's entire face.

"It's a lot better that way." Kakashi laughed.

The cat teacher on Natsume's shoulder was stunned, this mask looked so strong.

"You're still as unexpected as ever." Teacher Cat looked at Kakashi and whispered.

"I'll just treat you as a compliment to me." Kakashi laughed.

Natori was also shocked when he saw this.

Although he had known Kakashi for a long time, Natori found that he didn't know anything about Kakashi.

"Alright, let's go inside."

Kakashi was the first to step in, followed by the two and a cat.

The two unknowingly became Kakashi's henchmen.

Entering the building, there are masked people and youkai everywhere.

Natsume couldn't tell which ones were people and which ones were monsters for a while.

"Can all these people see youkai?" Natsume was surprised.

"Naturally. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here. There aren't many people in this world who can see youkai, but there are definitely a lot of them. However, judging from the demonic power, they are all small characters. Kakashi said, looking around.

As a ninja, it is the habit to observe the environment for the first time.

At this time, a gray-haired grandmother came over with two big men.

"You're Mr. Kakashi."

The old woman said as she looked at Kakashi, as if looking at something.

"You are?"

Natori answered, "Kakashi, this is Ms. Nanase, yes, the secretary of the field. ”

"I see."

Nanase looked at Natori and said, "Natori, I didn't expect you to know Mr. Kakashi too. ”

"I met Kakashi with the field, so naturally I didn't know each other."

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such a fate. ”

Nanase said, but her eyes fell on Natsume.

"This is your new Shikigami?"

"No, he's my friend, Natsume." Natori said.

"Natsume?"

Nanase was startled and stepped forward, wanting to lift Natsume's mask.

But an electric current hit, and Nanase took two steps back.

Both Natsume and Natori looked surprised when they saw this.

Kakashi laughed and said, "I'm sorry, this is my protective measure for this child, Nanase Lady, you are a little rude in such an action." ”

Nanase looked at Kakashi with some horror.

"This is his means? It's such a powerful technique, even I can't resist it. No wonder Mr. Field is looking for him. Nanase said secretly in his heart.

"It's okay, I'm too anxious. As soon as I heard the name Natsume, I couldn't help but think of the woman named Reiko. Nanase withdrew his hand and chuckled under his breath.

"Do you know Grandma Reiko?" Natsume asked.

"Grandma? Are you her grandson? No, I don't know her, but I've heard youkai talk about her a lot. It is said that she is also a very beautiful person with strong demonic powers. ”

"That's right." Natsume was slightly disappointed.

"Is she still alive?"

"No, I heard she died at a young age."

"How did you die?" Nanase was a little surprised.

Kakashi said at this time, "Nanase Lady, now is not the time to inquire about this, should you take me to the meeting field?" ”

Nanase also reacted, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kakashi, it's me who lost my temper. Then we'll go to Mr. Field now. ”

"Okay."

Nanase looked at Natori again and said, "Natori, do you want to go to the meeting together?" ”

"No, I don't want to see that guy."

"Really? Forget it, I heard you took that task. ”

"Ah, there's a bounty after all." Name teased.

"That youkai is very strong."

"It's okay, even if there's no way to get rid of it, the seal is still fine."

Nanase smiled and threw a bottle at Natori.

"This is the Demon Sealing Pot, good luck."

After Nanase finished speaking, he was about to leave with Kakashi.

"Natori, Natsume will trouble you to take care of it."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Kakashi glanced at Natsume and smiled, "Natsume, don't take off the mask I gave you, otherwise, it's dangerous here." ”

"I see, Kakashi-sensei."

"Hmm."

The two of them left and went straight to the inner room.

In the room, Shiji was already waiting there.

He wears a black kimono with a white bandage on his right eye.

Seeing Kakashi's arrival, he smiled, stood up, and whispered, "Kakashi-san, long time no see." ”

Kakashi froze, as if something was wrong, but he quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile, "It's really rare that the current head of the dignified field clan still remembers me." ”

"Mr. Kakashi is polite, with your elegance at the beginning, it is really unforgettable. What's more, seven years have passed, and Mr. Kakashi has not changed at all, which is really enviable. He said with a smile, as if he meant something.

"It seems that Mr. Chang is also very concerned about my affairs."

"Of course, the field clan cares about every powerful demon slayer."

"I'm not a demon slayer." Kakashi laughed.

"If Mr. Kakashi-chan is a demon slayer, I'm afraid the field clan will run out of food." chuckled.

"Oh? It's an interesting statement. But I don't know if the owner of the farm called me over this time, is there something wrong? ”

Kakashi also stopped going around in circles with the field and went straight to the point.

Wen Yan smiled and said, "Why don't you sit down and talk about it?" ”

Kakashi was not polite and sat down directly.

Seeing this, he waved his hand at Nanase and signaled to retreat.

Nanase was curious about what the two were going to talk about, but she left with a sense of humor.

After all, no one can refuse the field.

For a moment, only Kakashi and the two of them were left in the room.

The teapot on the table had just boiled and was crumbling.

He put the tea leaves in it, shook it gently, and then handed it to Kakashi.

"Mr. Kakashi, why don't you try this tea first, this year's new tea is very delicious."

Kakashi glanced at the field in a strange way, this guy really likes to sell off-the-scenes.

But since you want to play, I'll play with you once.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Kakashi said, picking up the teacup, blowing softly, and then taking a sip.

"It tastes good, but the person pouring the tea doesn't seem to be in a calm mood."
