Rewind the clock to a day ago......

"Your Excellency..."

"Your Excellency..."

Otomo Ruojia looked at his subordinates, and he didn't know if it was lucky, or if the other party hadn't put him in his eyes yet, and no one was hurt under his hands.

It's just that the uncle's tooth was badly injured, and it seemed that several ribs were broken, and one of them was pierced into the lungs.

The old man of the Ghost Mountain helped him connect the bones as much as he could, and used runes to help him heal his wounds. However, in any case, the back half of Shuya's body is definitely not able to do this. If he is lucky, he can barely take care of himself; But with bad luck, it won't be long before you die.

“… How's Uncle's Tooth..."

Hearing Ruojia's voice, Oniyama breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would be killed by Yakumo Zi's demon woman. Now watching him come back slowly, it seems that the danger is lifted.

“… It's hard to say, Lord Ruojia. I can't help him clean up the broken bones now, and one of them has even pierced his lungs..."

"Can it be saved?"

Otomo Wakaya sat next to the ghost mountain, but instead of sitting, it was better to fall down.

"Look at whether his life is hard or not... You need to recuperate for a few months, otherwise it won't be useful to call a doctor..."

He took his eyes off his uncle's body, and only then did he notice the wound on Otomo Ruojia's body, and the sword was gone.

"Your Excellency, what are you?"

"It's been a hard fight... That witch suddenly unleashed such a strong demonic power... It's a blessing that I'm going to survive... OK... Got rid of that little monster. ”

He rubbed his neck, and the feeling of being wet was really not good.

“… What luck... Let that little one go down... We're all going to die here today..."

"The old man is incompetent, and he actually let the seal of that witch be unlocked, please confess your guilt."

Oniyama knelt on the ground, waiting for the fate of the Otomo family. The latter just looked at him lazily, and then spoke slowly

"Uncle Ghost Mountain... I have to thank you... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to come back alive...

And, that's kind of a little bit of a realization for me... I'm not as strong as I thought... The sword my dad gave me was ruined... I saved my life."

Ghost Mountain raised his head, and the expression of the big companion Ruojia was very helpless, he was helpless that his strength was really not enough, and he needed the help of others to do whatever he came out.

“… That's it... That's it... Let's go back first, this time I finally killed a monster that is not weak. Yakumo Purple let her escape..."

"yes... After all, I killed one, and the strength of that witch grew too fast..."

"We're going to have to expand our team... It's good to have a few more people... Now let's go back and report back. ”

"If you are a family... That dead youkai..."

"I left the body there... But it should have been taken away by Yakumo Murasaki... It seems that the two of them have a good relationship... Take a hand, Uncle Can't just die.

You all remember that this matter must not be finished.

I'm going to kill that witch of Yakumo with my own hands! ”

……

……

……

"Hmm......"

Erlie fell asleep, and now the light from outside went into the cave and fell on the burning fire.

There was a clump of hay underneath, which was uncomfortable. But it's still very warm, and you can still put your head in a soft place, and it's like a pillow in front of you, so you can bury your face in it.

There's some wind on your head... There is also a faint fragrance.

……

Wait a minute?

Pillow?

Only then did Ellie come to her senses, and she found herself holding Purple in her arms, her face facing her slowly undulating chest.

And Purple's legs are also wrapped around Ellie, as if she is holding a big doll. Her blonde and silver hair were intertwined, and one of her hands was still on Ellie's face, as if to comfort her to sleep.

“……”

What did I do???

My face suddenly burned, which was too much...

No way!

I've got to get up first!

Erli wanted to get up, but she was pressed by purple and couldn't move. What embarrassed her even more was that Purple also woke up because of her movements.

“……… Is it dawn? … Ah, good morning...... Beautiful......? Why is your face so red..."

"No... Nothing..."

Yakumo noticed her posture at this time, but instead of parting, she pressed Erli even more into her chest.

"Looks like I'm sick... Gotta keep warm..."

Pretending to be confused and worried, he bullied Erlie again.

"Purple, you don't want to mm!!"

The face was pressed into Yakumo again, but this time the posture was a little strange, covering Erli's face. She covered her face, making her breathing a little uncomfortable.

"Don't make a fuss, Leigh. You can't mess around when you're sick."

Erri kept struggling, but Purple didn't let her go, but watched her struggle with a wicked smile.

"Mmmm Hmmm! ”

(Who's sick!) Let me go! ）

"Allahala... Looks like Rei likes the taste. ”

"Uh-huh! Mmmm ”

(Not really!) I'm going to suffocate! ）

Elle picked up her fist and hit Yakumo in the back, not too hard, for fear of accidentally hurting her.

Purple also knew how to take a pinch of proportion, so she let go of Erli, whose face was flushed into a tomato.

"Alright, alright... Don't make a fuss, get up. ”

The two got up, straightened their clothes, and straightened each other's hair.

"By the way, are your injuries healed? Beautiful? ”

Yakumo didn't know where she got the comb, so she combed Ellie's hair. I asked while combing.

Erlie wanted to touch yesterday's wound, but she couldn't touch anything but her delicate skin.

There is no pain or itching on the body. Apart from the memories of yesterday, there is not the slightest trace of wounds.

"It should be... All right? ”

"Really? Don't move, Leigh.

The realm of the real and the unreal. ”

Elle felt that something had changed, but she didn't know what had changed, so she had to wait for Purple and ask her what she was doing.

Yakumo just looked left and right, which made Erli a little hairy.

Fortunately, it only took a while for Yakumo to stop and let out a long breath.

"What do you see, purple"

Elle watched her stop, then asked.

Zi thought about it and said with some concern:

"The injury is indeed healed, but is it at any cost, Leigh?"

The cost of recovery?

Indeed, I am not from Penglai, and there should be no Penglai immortal medicine circulating for a while, so this kind of recovery should still have a price.

Suddenly, that consciousness broke into her brain again, and she said emotionlessly:

"There is no price, demon.

Being limited is just your will.

Of course, there are requirements for recovery, and you can't be beaten into slag.

You've been beaten to slag, and I can't help it.

Your will determines that after you recover,

Can you not be knocked down by the pain.

Once you are defeated by pain, then you are no different from death.

You don't want to die, do you?

So don't send them to death. ”

Hearing this, Erli was also relieved that she would not put herself to death because of any side effects.

"There should be no price, I don't feel anything now, and I don't feel anything physically."

After thinking for a while, Elle said to Yakumo Purple seriously.

The latter finally laughed, and then became excited.

"That's good... But what exactly are you? I've never seen a youkai like you with such a strong recovery ability."

Now Purple is as curious as a child seeing a superhero for the first time, and her eyes are almost shining with stars.

“…… I really don't know... Maybe I'm not a monster here..."

Irri was afraid that she would expose the letter, so she said half-truths.

She said before that she had amnesia, and Yakumo Zi tried to help her, so naturally it was useless. Now that she heard this, she nodded.

"Yes...... Haven't remembered yet? ”

“… Maybe I'm a youkai from the west... The people there look a little like me..."

"Really? Then I'm going to look there in the future and see if I can help you recover your memory. ”

Yakumo said solemnly to Erli that she was genuinely thinking about this friend.

"Hmm..."

Erlie was a little embarrassed to lie to her by treating a friend who was sincere to her.

“… The old man and grandmother's house has not been taken care of there..."

Suddenly asked, Zi fell silent.

“… Purple... Take me there... I want them to go. ”

Ellie whispered, but Purple shook her head

"Leigh, the exorcist might be there..."

"I know... I want to go over..."

“…………”

"Please..."

……

……

……

The house had been burned to rubble, still emitting green smoke, and what was left had turned into a pile of garbage.

There seemed to be a few dried fish outside, and it seemed that a few were taken by birds, and the nets were broken during the battle and turned into useless nets.

Hara, and Sasawa were lying inside, and the remains that had turned black had begun to emit a pungent smell.

Yakumo sent Irri over, wanting to help Elle, but the latter refused. She had no choice but to send her here, and then stood behind her, silently watching her.

"I'm sorry... Old man, grandma. I didn't get you off properly... I didn't have time to say goodbye to my parents, but I didn't expect this life to be the same..."

She muttered to the ruins in a voice she could hear.

"I've got to get you on this journey...... I am afraid that I will not be able to repay the kindness that I have not been able to repay again..."

Jing Yue's knife was pulled out of the space by her, and she silently used the knife to dig the soil. If you are met by someone who values knives, you will definitely go crazy, such a good knife, but she uses it to dig the earth.

She just repeated a few actions: inserted the knife into the soil, pulled it out, inserted it again, pulled it out again, then put the knife down, dug out the soil with her hands, and repeatedly dug a pit.

She didn't know how many times she had repeated it, she didn't know how many times she had wiped her sweat, and she didn't know how many times her nails had cracked and regrown, she just kept digging. After three or four hours, Ellie dug a big hole.

She gently put them in and let them lie down, and then little by little, she buried the mound of earth that had been dug up.

After another three hours, a grave bag was erected, and Elle found some more stones and circled the foundation of the grave bag.

The dirt on his body even became like mud and stuck to his hands. The knife was also stained with a lot of dirt, and she threw it aside.

But she didn't care, just knelt in front of the grave and silently kowtowed three times.

There was some dirt on his forehead, and some of it was mixed in his hair.

“…… I'm sorry, old man, grandma. That's the best I can do..."

Yakumo Zi kept looking at her, watching her prepare for the humble aftermath for the two of them little by little.

She didn't say anything, just looked at Erlie and whispered.

"Otomo Ruojia... We're definitely not done! ”
