"This is the wife of the Minister of the Monobu Budu, the Minister of the Island, Su I Mazi."

"So-sama's wife? …

Ah, it was rude just now. ”

The oolong that just made a fuss, and now with the identity... It's even more embarrassing to think about, and Onotomi hurriedly apologized again.

"No, it's fine.

Lord Prince, is this the diplomat you need to train? ”

Buduki didn't care much about these things, but just changed the subject. The stable owner also knew that he couldn't dig any deeper, so he continued.

"Yes, he has to know the language of the people who came to the country, including those from Sui and Silla.

As for etiquette, he has a lot to learn..."

"Trouble... The prince and the Monobe-sama are gone. ”

"Budu, Onotomi will hand it over to you because of his high level, he has a lot of things to bear..."

"I see, Prince."

She bowed slightly, and the stable also asked her to take Onochen down because of the heights. In the empty palace, only the back of a person was left in contemplation.

"Next, we have to find a superficial monk.

It's a real nuisance, who are you looking for..."

"Now is not the time to think about these things."

When she realized that there was no one, she pulled open the gap hidden in the wall and let herself out.

The stableman didn't have any expression, just turned her head lightly, as if she felt that this was normal, but the slight trembling body still revealed her excitement.

“… Sister Ellie? So what do you think you should do? ”

"Now, let's talk about it after consolidating your strength, it's impossible for the Su family to let you live alone for too long.

It's not very safe to work with smart people, and once the situation is a lot more stable, it's better to control it than a puppet. ”

"Do you think Su Ma Zi will attack me?"

"I don't think it's a must.

That human wouldn't let a regent like you mess around... As for your aunt, she's pretty cunning... Play a balance between you and the Su family, and don't cause trouble. ”

"Clever aunt... It's obviously a two-headed slip, but there is nothing we can do to stop it.

I also have to worry about whether she will run to the other side, although the Su family and I have united the front, but when Buddhism spreads, I am afraid that the interests in it will be ruined and the relationship between us will be easily destroyed. ”

She stood up and rubbed her stomach, the effect of the elixir was not very good, although her body felt a lot refreshed, but the side effect was severe stomach pain.

In the last few days, the stables have been relieved, and they have not been to the point of fainting or rolling around.

However, Erli could still see the abnormal movements of the stables, after all, kneeling the stomach was not a common habit.

"What did you do?"

"The elixir you refined yourself... It still looks like something is missing, and the side effects are huge.

But I'm getting through it now... Don't worry, Sister Ellie. ”

She smiled, and Erri couldn't deny it, just shook her head

"Don't be in such a hurry... Otherwise, you will really become an immortal and go.

When are you going to send Ono Chen to the Sui Kingdom? ”

"Certainly not now... He's still too immature... Coupled with the call for the revival of Ren Na, the attitude towards the Sui State is not so good.

If they don't suffer a big loss from Silla, they will never recognize the power of the Sui State.

I need an opportunity, an opportunity for the official family to lose, to get rid of the constraints of the Su family. ”

"Thousands of lives in exchange for chips... You've grown a lot, stableman.

However, does Monobe Fu know about this? ”

"She knew, but it was impossible to tell Su about my family.

After all, her brother and most of her relatives died at the hands of Su I's family, and how much desire she has for immortality, the greater the probability that I can hit Su I's family. ”

"Is it..."

Ellie tilted her head and looked to the other side of the door, frowning.

The stables looked too, and there was no one in sight or figure, and she asked Ellie.

"Sister Ellie?"

He didn't care about the owner's inquiry, but just said coldly.

"Monobu Budu, as well as the Su I knife since ancient times.

I don't know where you got the Runestone, but it didn't work for me. ”

“… Was it discovered? ”

The door opened suddenly, but there was nothing but the sound of feet on the planks.

"Don't doubt my identity, Budu.

I don't have any interest in your path to immortality. ”

When the door was closed again, the two of them appeared, Bu Du squinted, staring thoughtfully at Erli, and the knife only felt that his scalp was numb since ancient times, and this monster actually found himself, and it was estimated that he would suffer a little bitterly.

"It doesn't matter...

… I don't know, what is your relationship with the Crown Prince? My knife has been afraid of you since ancient times, but I don't want to tell me who you are. ”

“… Yours'? She doesn't seem to be related to you, does she? ”

"Relationally yes."

Although the words of the two were polite, the irrepressible hostility was revealed between the words of the two.

"Stable, can I trust her?

After all... What this human is doing is not very reassuring to me. ”

"Humans?"

Looking at Erli, who was also silver-haired, she didn't guess Erli's true identity, but she just felt that this person had more to do with a cultivated Taoist.

"Except for the knife since ancient times, she doesn't have a good impression of everyone in Su I's family.

As for whether or not she can keep a secret, I can guarantee that she is only a little worse than Onotomi. ”

"Really... However, where was Onochen taken by you? ”

"My servant took it away, and as a mother, I naturally want to come and see the knife since ancient times.

Well, it looks like I've hit a terrible immortal now."

"Immortals? …… I have nothing to do with them.

However, I am not human. ”

She did not deny the fact that she was not human, and Budu also knew that even if she was human, she would never sneak into the prince's bedroom without being discovered by any of the guards.

The humans who can immediately detect the rune stones are all old exorcists, and she herself still knows who those people are, and there is not a silver-haired girl in it.

As for the youkai, the prince is not so stupid and will work with the youkai.

Since she doesn't want to admit herself, she doesn't need to puncture this layer. After all, it has a relationship with the prince, and the prince thinks that there is no problem, so this girl is naturally no problem.

“…… Well, that's it.

We've known each other for a long time, Budu. ”

"Oh, it looks like you're in good condition.

If you only look good, you will only think that you are a little girl. ”

A compliment was given to Erli's appearance, but the voice heard by the stableman, Budu's thoughts were full of longing.

Where did she get her Immortal Technique?

It's not a young beauty made of pills, that hair is natural.

She has been with the prince since she was a child, and the prince is now thirty years old.

So this ...... People, at least as old as me.

You can still look like this without makeup......

Who else but the immortals could do it?

"Little girl, I don't have to, I should be about your age, or older than you.

As for maintenance... I don't need to use the pill yet. ”

After all, it is to feed one's own growth with one's life, so it's better not to say this sentence.

By the way, how old are you now? Fifty-six?

Isn't purple fifty-seven?

Erli, who died silently in her heart, was not like that in Budu's eyes.

What will be the method? Could it be that the pill is a very poor choice?

“… That's it...

Tell me about the situation, stable. I haven't been out much lately to gather information. ”

Seeing the contemplative Monobe Budu, she turned her head to the stable with a different smile, wanting to know the news of the official family.

……

……

……

"Ruojia!"

Ruoshan Yu rushed to the interior surrounded by rune stones, and a group of people blocked in front of him, thinking that he was an exorcist who was not used to the behavior of "half-demons".

"Get out of the way, I'm my apprentice, Ruoshan Yu!

I'm looking for him! ”

"Tsk... I haven't seen you like this for ten years? ”

The eldest companion Ruojia walked out, and the whole person was a lot tired, so his face was even more unkind.

The surrounding exorcists saw such a half-demon, and immediately left, after all, if the two know each other, then they shouldn't stay here for a long time, and the ancestor who is in a bad mood is right about the name "half-demon".

"Can you tell me more about the Knife Splitting Blood Girl?"

“… Did you meet her? ”

As soon as he heard this, the exhaustion disappeared immediately, and instead he seemed to be well-rested, and asked directly about Erli's situation. Ruoshan Yu didn't talk nonsense, and directly told his own situation.

"That demon... Yakumo Purple you also met?

And the two of them are real people? ”

Summing up the appearance of the two of them, Otomo Ruojia frowned, which felt different from his own feelings.

"It's indeed the real body, which is very much in line with the appearance of the slaughter of the knife-splitting blood girl."

"Alice's body?

I've fought with Leigh before... It's this knife-splitting blood girl, and she looks like a little girl for a while......"

"Forty years, youkai can't be nothing change..."

"But... After Alice disappeared, the reputation of the Knife Splitter Girl spread.

Alice became famous two years after I thought I had killed it...

According to your description... It's kind of weird... You say she resembles Alice's figure? ”

"Do you think... Alice is the Knife Splitting Girl? ”

"It's just speculation... What if it's a possessed youkai that can twist corpses?

With so many monsters to be defeated over the years, there are always things we can't imagine. ”

Ruojia patted Ruoshan Yu's shoulder rarely, a little low.

"And... Alice's code of conduct is completely different from that of the Bloodbreaker.

One protects us, the other kills and eats people every day... And, what I do know is that the latter has to do it every day, or else you won't be able to sustain yourself. ”

“……”

If Yamaha doesn't believe that Alice and Erlie are the same person, in addition to the code of conduct, there is also a certain blind belief in Alice, because Alice is somewhat similar to him, preferring the village's commission, and preferring to help the people.

He would rather believe that Alice is dead than that Alice is a Knife Girl.

“… Tengu is a place to start..."

And Otomo Wakaya muttered to himself, the frenzy in his eyes swallowing everything in his vision.
