“… I'm back..."

There was no one in the room, she just replied habitually.

Kazami Yuka separated shortly after they arrived on Honshu Island, citing that her strength was not strong, and if she faced someone like Kamie, the situation would become extremely tricky.

The day after that conversation, she left alone, leaving only a sunflower, which appeared to be a seedling, reserved for Ellie, and contained this message.

As for Yakumo Zi, because of the excessive overdraft of demon power, the time spent in the past few years was basically used to recover the body, not to mention whether the growth of demon power has surpassed Yuxiang, in short, the overall combat power has declined slightly.

The two still live together, but there is a lot less intersection between them.

After all, one is a demon who goes out all day long to prey on humans, and the other is a youkai who doesn't know when to go out, and the time the two spend together is significantly less than on Iyo Island.

"Purple?"

Back in the house, Erli shouted loudly, but without a response, she took out a bloody piece of flesh from the gap, I don't know where it came from, and I can't tell what it was before.

She was endowed with spatial ability, and only put the Jingyue knife and some reserve dry food and water in that place, and the rest of the things were basically placed in the gap by her.

After all, the space capacity for convenience and speed is limited, and the inside of the gap is quite spacious.

"Isn't it... It's nerve-wracking.

Can the meat of monsters be eaten as a supper? Let's try it first. ”

Shrugged helplessly, going out at night is not quite in line with the habits of this monster Purple, but who knows? Maybe it's an acquired habit that can't be said.,Throw everything to Yakumo Blue.,I have nothing to do.,I choose to sleep.。

"The realm of cold and heat."

The firewood in the fire shone and slowly smoked out, and the smoke was discharged down the chimney.

The cultivation of the realm seems to end here, no matter how much Erli tries to break through, she can't master the power of the realm proficiently, and the most she can do is only this, barely using it in life.

Now, she prefers to complement each other in sword skills and sword skills, and even if she masters the gap, she will only use it for hurrying or as an item inventory.

"Almost..."

He took out a rudimentary iron dagger, played with it, found a large leaf, and I don't know where it came from, and put the meat on it.

Ellie tightened her grip on the dagger and placed it lightly on top of the meat.

Suddenly, a neat piece of the meat was cut off, and she did the same until she cut the piece into small pieces and threaded them little by little on a wooden skewer.

"Still not serious enough... What's going on..."

She muttered to herself as she wore a skewer, as if she wasn't quite happy with her results.

There were more than a dozen scratches on the big leaves, and a few of them even ruined the ground, and the long marks looked very abrupt on the ground.

She also processed a few pieces of uncut meat, as if they were not strong enough, concentrated in the middle and back places.

I wiped the sweat from my head to relieve the fatigue of using this ability just now, and then slowly put on the meat slices, ready to make a barbecue.

"I'm back."

The sound of the gap unfolding came from behind her, and without further ado, it must have been Yakumo Purple who had returned. Erlie didn't look back, and took the last slice of meat on her own.

"Welcome back, Purple."

She licked the blood from her hands, and seemed to be satisfied with the taste, but she didn't realize it herself. The red eyeballs that hadn't been seen clearly in three years, including Purple, flashed for a moment, and then aimed at Purple.

"Why did you go?"

"Nothing, just feeling something."

Purple walked straight to Erlie's side, then sat down casually, and joined the latter in putting the skewers on the fire and baking them.

"What is it? Exorcists of humans? ”

"No, it's a youkai.

I felt that there were eyes staring at me, so I took advantage of the gap to look around, but there was nothing, and I didn't care. But after a while, the feeling came back to me, so I went out to check it out, and when I found it, I didn't see anything. ”

"Are you allergic, Purple?"

When Elle got inside, she didn't feel anything around her looking.

Their house was built in a wood, apparently a noble residence, but it was completely abandoned because of war or some other reason.

The contents inside were emptied, but the whole building had not changed much, it was complete, except for the collapse of a fence made of bamboo, and Purple also used the realm to regrow the bamboo there.

There are not many wild animals, only rabbits, pheasants and wild boars, and the occasional wolf roaming around, but there are no large carnivores.

"No, I can feel the eyes being stared at,

But I didn't see anything but rabbits and birds, and they didn't deliberately spy on us, and they didn't show any signs of demonic control. ”

"Aren't there any strange traces, Purple?"

Ellie frowned and asked her, and Purple shook her head.

"Then let's wait, if there is, let's two look for it."

"It's fine, Liz. But what kind of meat are you? ”

"The meat of the bull demon was about to attack humans when I happened to pass by.

I was going to bring back more, but when the exorcist came, I retreated first, and only brought back one, which looked quite tender. ”

Purple looked at the slices of meat that had been cut by Ellie, thought about it, and speculated.

"It's probably edible, it's still a beast after all, but it has some demonic power.

I guess the taste will be very good, but give it a try. ”

……

……

……

At midnight, Purple covered herself with the power of the realm, and then went to sleep, while Elle carefully sensed the situation around her.

She was right, something was staring at the room, but Erri didn't feel any obvious hostility, no demonic powers or anything else.

There are still a lot of animals in the forest, and they are still busy with their lives, hurrying to eat or move their nests.

It's busy, and no animal stops, deliberately staring at the house of two.

"That's weird..."

She bit her nails, and couldn't think of anything that would be deliberately watching them, and she wouldn't notice it at all?

Could it be a god?

But what are the gods observing themselves?

"I can't figure it out..."

After a long time, she didn't come up with anything, so she had to open the gap again, send herself outside, and observe it carefully.

Walking out of the stars of the universe, bathed in the moonlight and starry sky, the whole of Erli is very suitable for the feeling of the moon, but only the two strands floating in the air, like smoke dissipating endlessly, destroy the overall coordination.

She feels more like a demon in the dark, but with the mystery that silver hair brings to her, it doesn't make Erlie seem so scary.

"Hoo ......"

She took a few breaths repeatedly, calming herself as calmly as she could, letting her senses blend into nature and observing her surroundings.

Nothing was found.

There are no anomalies.

There's nothing wrong with it either.

"Tsk...

Besides Purple, who else has a bad habit of voyeurism... Ibuki... What's going on? Watermelon?

But that's the time for the Hyakki to walk at night... Heian period? Now even Prince Shotoku's reform has not begun... Who would that be? ”

Erlie looked down and thought, wondering who would choose to spy on the two of them.

The surroundings were still very natural, she didn't feel malice, no hostility, and no demonic power displayed by youkai.

"Are there still realm monsters?

But according to the barnyard field Aqiu and Purple, there is no second realm monster..."

The suspicious Erlie still observes her surroundings, and that sense of surveillance appears around her from time to time, and she looks closely, but she can't see anything. All you can see is the vigilance of the animals, and the nocturnal animals that are hurrying by.

"Strange..."

……

……

……

The morning sun had risen, dyeing Ellie gold, and she had watched carefully all night, each time she had to feel what she had observed, but the slightest attention would cause the clues to slip away.

The ground in front of her had a few more pits, which seemed to have been kicked out with brute force. It seems that I am very angry at night, but it is really strange that Zi didn't hear it, and I guess I also blocked the sound outside.

"It's weird...

Could it be that the gods are really not able to pay attention to us? ”

The grumpy Erlie scratched at her hair, unable to figure out why.

"Leigh?"

"Huh? It's hard for you to wake up so early, Purple. ”

Yakumo Murasaki, who looked sleepy, walked out of the house, her hair slightly bent, and her eyes half-squinted. She yawned, then spoke slowly.

"Have you been out all night?

Also, what's going on with the ground in front of you? ”

"Nothing... It's just a little hard. ”

Erlie didn't want to continue to vent her anger because she was angry, and continued.

"It was true that after a night of observation, I found nothing.

Now I wonder if the gods are eyeing us... There's no reason for that...

Compared with those big monsters, the people I killed are not so many, or rather, I don't kill those young people, but I just advance the fate of some dying people.

Is this being targeted by them? ”

"What can the gods be interested in us... I didn't feel any ill will, just a little uncomfortable. But is it really good that you haven't slept all night? ”

"It's fine."

She waved her hand, withdrew the Jingyue knife, and looked around viciously, but found nothing.

"Let's come back and rest first... Hah~~~~~Ahh

Zi yawned again, ready to go and get some sleep again, and then began to cultivate. Ellie chooses to go back to sleep for a while and then go hunting for humans.

"But why are you up so early, Purple?"

"Ahh Well? I felt that there was only something missing in my arms, just a soft little thing. ”

"You...... It's a bad taste. ”

……

A few white rabbits ran up to a young girl, and if Elle had paid close attention and observed, she would have seen them the same rabbits she had repeatedly seen yesterday warning her and running around.

The young girl had a pair of pink and white rabbit ears that drooped where they should have been human ears, and were about the same size as the curly short black hair.

It looks like a rabbit demon, with a fluffy white rabbit tail behind her, and although she is barefoot and only wears a simple dress, there is not a trace of dirt on her feet, and the skirt is as spotless as new.

From the perspective of today's people, this is a strange garment, but it is also a heavenly garment, and no craftsman can make such a beautiful garment.

The rabbits stopped next to her, their crimson eyes looking at each other as if communicating.

"Uh-huh. I see, hard work, everyone. ”

Listening to the rabbits moving their lips slightly, she nodded from time to time, and finally said this, and the rabbits left happily.
