Accompanying the tengu girl to solve the problem, Purple tried to steal things three times but failed, so she had to honestly quarrel with the helpless De under the gaze of the disgusted Erlie.

As a result, the two of them got into an even bigger mess.

"Twenty demon stones... Come on... This is the minimum acceptance condition under the order..."

"Allah, that's fine... I don't want to bargain with you anymore

You guys... Two? ”

Exhausted, Purple looked at the two monsters who hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Whew~~~~~ whew~~~~~"

Lying on a pile of clothes, Ira fell asleep on her stomach, while Erri covered the tengu girl's wings and curled up in a small group to read.

"Rei~"

"Huh? Ah, Purple, are you done? ”

"Uh... How long have I been fighting with him? ”

Looking back, De was gone, and walked back on crutches, muttering the words "drink water, thirsty" as he went.

"About an hour... I didn't pay much attention.

Vain? It's time to wake up. ”

He took the book back, and then shoved the tengu girl, telling her to get up.

"Ah...... Yakumo Murasaki... Whew~ Are you done? ”

While stretching her waist, she grabbed her naginata, and then helped those packages behind her back, it was a little difficult to come alone, so Erli helped to put it on.

"It's done... This human being is really rigid.

Leigh, where's your mask? ”

"It's in the gap, are you leaving?"

"Hmm."

As soon as she put the book back and took out the mask, Tak walked out with a package.

“… Are the three still there?

At least, the little lady is still there... It seems that it is, have you already put on a mask? ”

"Roar—(They're all there.) ）”

"That's good... I'd like to ask you for a favor.

It's not a big deal, and there shouldn't be any danger. ”

"What's the busy?"

Purple also put on a mask, so Tokumi turned his head directly and aimed at Yakumo Murasaki.

"Something has fallen in my house... Or something found below.

Can it be handed over to the official? At least let's say that benevolence and righteousness are exhausted, and after doing this in the end, it has nothing to do with the family. ”

After taking the package, Purple opened it and saw that it was just some ordinary clothes and not very eye-catching decorations.

"Relic?"

"Definitely. I can help with it, and I'm willing to do a favor under it, although I don't know if you will send it to Miss..."

"Why was it sent to the official's family, not to the exorcist... You know, they don't move relics. ”

Exorcists attach great importance to the relics of their fellow practitioners, and they will properly handle the ownership of these relics, send them back to their home or get a well-dressed tomb or something.

"This dead man isn't very kind to exorcists...

He killed a lot of exorcists, and it is estimated that if he handed them over, he would be burned to ashes...

It's easier to leave it to the officials, at least they can tell their own family about it. ”

"Hmm~ (I'll deal with it...) ）

Boom! (But how can you help me?) ）”

With a human body's body and abilities, what can I do to help her (me) in a youkai?

The three demons thought at the same time, and De shook his head.

"What can be helped, for example, the strange body structure of the little lady.

Please take the liberty of saying that you used to be human, right? ”

"What?!"

Erli felt a little confused, she hadn't told a few people about this matter, and it was impossible for Yuka and Yakumo to betray her; The stables won't find this place; Yan is not like a gossip reporter like Wenwen, so how does this human know?

However, the most surprising thing was Yan, who didn't expect that this Western monster with the potential of a big monster was actually a human before. Tak has no interest in deception, and usually tells the truth unless necessary.

Yakumo Zi didn't expect that this human would be able to tell Erli's true identity, so he asked coldly.

“… How do you know? ”

"False and true... And the words and deeds of the little lady, it's as simple as that...

I feel that the little lady's body is not quite in line with the situation of the possessed monster... It's hard for this to happen... The human body and the power of the youkai are not very well matched.

I can provide some ideas below for the little lady's reference. What do you think? ”

“……”

Ellie pondered.

Do you need to take this commission?

After all, I don't believe that this human being can do anything, the creator seems to be parasitic on the body, is there anyone who knows more about the existence of his own creation than the creator?

Even if there is... It's not something that this human being can do.

But, what if?

What if this human could point out some shortcuts for my reference?

“… Boom (...) I'll think about it. ）”

"Well, I'll be waiting below."

I didn't feel the surprise, but I just took a cane and pestle the ground. Purple frowned, feeling that this human's attitude was not very pleasant.

“… It's time for us to go. ”

Pulling up Ellie, Purple goes out with her. In Toku's eyes, Yakumo gave him a meaningful look before leaving.

"Well, shopkeeper, I'll bother you next time."

Yan said hello and followed the two monsters.

“… Not frank little lady. ”

De felt that the three demons were leaving, so he said to the empty crypt, and the voice echoed in the dark and deep cave**, for a long time.

……

"Well, I'll go back first, you two.

After all, it's about our survival. ”

"Roar! (Come on!) ）”

"Liz said I wish you success, and so do I, it's not good to have fewer allies."

"See you next time!"

Yan spread his wings and flew straight back to Tengu Village,

“… Let's go too. ”

"Roar~ (also good)"

The gap opened, the gap closed, and the two left the place.

“……”

Wakayama Ha, who used the rune stone to hide his body, hid behind the stone and watched the place where the two monsters left.

After looking for a long time, I was just about to come to Zhongchende here to learn more about the news of the Sword Splitting Blood Girl, and when I came out, I actually met two monsters who were chased and lost.

The blonde youkai, which opens a black hole with red eyes, moves with the infamous Knife Splitting Girl.

It is more in line with the news of Ruojia.

Trouble.

Alice disappeared first, and then the Knife Splitting Blood Girl became famous, and the latter was very powerful in knife skills.

Possessed Youkai... That body... No, the corpse, it's Alice's...

Damn it...

……

……

……

"Lord Prince, Ono Chen is so high."

"Let him in."

The maid went down and led a low-key young man in.

"Your Excellency, Prince."

“… Go down, all of you. ”

With a wave of his hand, the stableman told all the servants around him to go down, leaving two people alone.

"Lord Prince?"

After everyone had gone down, Ono slowly asked the stableman if he had any tasks or important things to entrust to him.

"I am going to issue an edict in the name of the king to promote Buddhism, and I have called you here to discuss something with you.

But I want to know a little first, can you keep it a secret? ”

Knowing Onoto's loyalty and ability, the stable asked this sentence just to go through the motions, and of course, he replied solemnly.

"Under the jurisdiction of the crown prince, you also saved my life, if you can't keep it a secret, I voluntarily give up my status as a nobleman and accept the punishment of you and the great god."

"Those things aren't necessary..."

After understanding Onotomi's thoughts, and confirming that the loyal retainers he had cultivated would not go against his wishes, the stables also straightened themselves up and said slowly.

"I want you to go to Sui and bring back the Dharma.

After all, our Dharma here is not systematic and perfect, and I hope that you can bring back a more complete Buddhist thought so that it can suit us.

This is the task given to you by the Regent, understand? ”

"Understood."

Since it is an official task, then naturally the crown prince still has his own ideas, but there is no need to talk about it himself now.

Onotomi thought so, and after listening to the answer, the stable man nodded.

"Now is not the time to send an envoy, have a good exchange with the people from the Sui Kingdom, learn their language and etiquette, and then I will naturally let you send an envoy to the Sui Kingdom.

But that's not what I'm going to say, I want you to bring Buddhism and bring back Taoist books for me in private, or invite Taoists to come here as regent to spread religion. Do you understand? ”

"I understand, it's just that the prince needs Taoist things to do?"

"Don't worry about that... Don't tell anyone, especially the last one.

It's only something that can be brought up when we're together, and when there's someone else, I'll just think you're bringing it up. ”

"Thank you for your trust, and keep it in mind."

Onotomi saluted the stables again, who knocked on the floor and motioned for him to stop.

"Thank you for your trust, and I'll talk about it later.

I haven't discussed it with the officials this time, after all, I don't have trustworthy subordinates like you, so I naturally won't send servants, these people are likely to do bad things.

So, I'm going to have to let you meet someone first. ”

"Is it your cronies, Lord Prince?"

"No, it's just like-minded people."

He was a little puzzled, and the stable didn't say much, and said towards the room inside.

"Come out."

The door opened, and a girl dressed in a fine dress and wearing an official hat walked in. With a non-existent smile, she slowly walked to the side of the crown prince, sat down gracefully, and politely saluted the Ono minister in front of her.

I don't know who this is, but Onochen immediately returned the salute, for fear of being rude. The stableman smiled and said slowly.

"Don't be so nervous, because it's high.

You'll be surprised by who she is, but she's not going to be anyone else. ”

"No, Prince.

The... Madame, I haven't seen it. I don't know, my lord, this is..."

The corners of the girl's mouth twitched, and the stableman covered her face with her hand, as if trying to block her expression.

"No, no... You are mistaken. ”

"It's... Is it...

Sorry, that's rude..."

There was a little embarrassment, he hurriedly made amends, and the girl didn't dwell too much, just smiled back, and stood beside the prince.

"Because of the height, don't be too impulsive... This is also the task I gave you.

Otherwise, when you go to the Sui Kingdom, I'm afraid you will cause a lot of trouble. ”

“… Please also ask the prince to forgive me

So... Lord Prince, this is..."
