Chapter 15: The Night Maiden is missing

The sun had already set, and in a dense wooded area near the foot of the mountain, a heavy black tin pot was hot on the bonfire, and the hot water in it was bubbling, and the flames jumped and jumped, reflecting the faces of the three people who were surrounding the bonfire under the trees.

"Wow...... Angry! As a result, because of your relationship, I really want to sleep in the wilderness, sleeping in the wilderness, I couldn't think of it before, and I followed a strange woman......"

Shiina Yuya angrily poked the burning bonfire with a stick, pulling the ashes of the burned wooden strips out from under the bonfire, but her mouth was still chattering, and she glanced angrily at Izumo Akuni, who had come up again at some point.

"I'm sorry......" On the other side, Kyoshiro, who was resting under the tree, scratched his head when he heard this, he looked at the Yuya girl who was constantly complaining, and said with some embarrassment.

"I forgot to tell you that, as far as I know, the hiding place and treasure of the outcasts must be near this forest...... I'm so scared! ”

Izumo Akuni, who was on the side, suddenly spoke, her face couldn't help but show a touch of sadness, one hand was clenched into a fist and placed to her mouth, it seemed to be a little timid, and her big eyes were watery and full of worry.

"There is treasure...... ...... nearby"

Shiina Yuya's eyes lit up when she heard the word treasure, and she consciously ignored other insignificant things.

"Displaced ......?!"

Kyoshiro reacted in the exact opposite way to Yuya Girl, his hair exploded when he heard the word homeless, and he also heard what the villagers in the town had said about how homeless people did evil.

"By the Night Maiden! Let's run away and get out of here! ”

The more Kyoshiro thought about it, the more scared he became, so he quickly stood up and hugged Yuya Shiina's arm, who couldn't extricate himself from the money's eyes, and said while shaking.

"But that's okay!"

Just when Kyoshiro wanted to discuss how to escape with Yuya Girl, Izumo Akuni suddenly turned around and said with a smile.

"Master Jing, you'll protect me, right?"

Izumo Akuni stood up, and she walked over to Kyoshiro, holding her beautiful face with both hands, and looked at him with a look of adoration, her big eyes full of hope and adoration.

"What? I...... I...... Are you sure? ”

Kyoshiro was directly stunned in place, he pointed at himself with some suspicion, but clearly saw Izumo Akuni nodding shyly.

"That's right, it's you, Master Jing, the slave family needs your protection......"

Kyoshiro suddenly felt his arm tighten, and Izumo Akuni couldn't help but pull him into his arms, grabbed Kyoshiro's hand and put it on his round and full chest, raised his head to look at him and said pitifully.

"All...... I'll take care of it all! I'll always be awake, so you two can sleep in peace! ”

Two hot breaths erupted from Kyoshiro's nostrils, and the soft and plump feeling from his hands also spread along the veins to his heart, like a cheerful little demon drilling into his heart, clamoring and jumping, Kyoshiro only felt that there seemed to be endless energy all over his body, and hurriedly agreed.

"This idiot ......" Shiina Yuya on the side closed his eyes and was simply out of sight and out of mind, and rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart, Cut, it's just a beauty trick......

……

Late at night, the moon and stars are sparse, and the wind is light and cloudy.

"What! I obviously said that I was going to let the wind out for us, but I slept so peacefully and comfortably, and I still showed such a happy sleeping face......"

When Shiina Yuki woke up in the middle of the night, he found that Kyoshiro was already asleep, he was lying on his back on the grass and was asleep, his mouth opening and closing widely, and from time to time a bubble appeared from his nostrils that grew larger and smaller with his breathing.

"You big slacker!"

'Smack! ’

Shiina Yuya picked up a pebble from under the tree next to him, and smashed it into Kyoshiro's nose, although it hit the red heart firmly, but it didn't affect Kyoshiro's sleeping Yaxing at all, and only a slight snoring was heard and continued to rise and fall.

"By ...... ...... by the Night Maiden"

Izumo Akuni had also woken up at this time, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, but she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw Shiina Yuya constantly holding a small stone and smashing it at Kyoshiro, who was sleeping without the slightest reaction.

"Miss Akuni, I really can't figure it out, you should go all the way to follow such a dead pig-like guy......" Yuya Shiina saw that Izumo Akuni was woken up by herself, so she quickly stopped and 'destroyed' Kyoshiro, she asked curiously.

"For the sake of Jing Ye, it is appropriate to work tirelessly, but it is the first time I have seen Jing Ye's sleeping expression, wow, so cute!"

Izumo Akuni whispered from where she was, she lowered her head and looked carefully at Kyoshiro, who was falling into a deep sleep, and after looking at it for a while, she put her hand to her mouth and whispered an exclamation, her eyes full of stars.

"Akuni girl," Shiina Yuya suddenly leaned over at this time and asked, "What kind of person is Kyoshiro you know?" ”

As long as you can learn more about the weaknesses of the Devil's Eye Crazy Knife, you can get closer to a million taels (plus a hundred wen), Shiina Yuya secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"The Jingye I know...... A cold, terrifying, and cruel samurai who lives only to kill! And ......"

Yuya Shiina looked up with some curiosity and waited for her next step.

“…… Is...... Radiant! ”

Izumo Akuni suddenly hugged her arms and lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, her face was filled with emotion, and those bright eyes contained extreme tenderness and admiration.

“……”

Shiina Yuya looked at the look on the face of the girl of Akuni, and she really didn't know what to say, she pointed to Kyoshiro, who was still asleep, and said angrily: "A man like this who can't wake up, where can he be heroic?!" ”

"Hehehe...... It seems that you are even more childish than I thought,"

The corners of Izumo Aguo's mouth curled slightly, and her pupils were suddenly filled with a layer of mist like a new rain in an empty mountain, which made people a little unreal.

"You don't even know how charming he is......"

"What does that mean?" Shiina Yuya asked.

"Whew~ I want to sleep......" Izumo Akuni stretched out his hand and yawned, rubbed his already tired eyes again, and walked back to the place where he had just slept.

"That'...... Late...... Good night! Yuya Shiina was reluctant to let her curiosity be interrupted like this, but she forced a smile to say goodnight.

After the Akuni girl fell asleep, Shiina Yuya lowered her head and quietly looked at Kyoshiro who opened his mouth wide and exhaled, and she found that she was really unable to see through this man now.

In the end, the docile and kind Kyoshiro in front of him, and the ruthless ghost-eyed mad knife, which one is the real Kyoshiro?

“…… Next," Shiina Yuya suddenly turned his head with a treacherous smile on his face, "while these two people are sleeping, I'll go and receive the wealth of the homeless!" ”

"When the treasure is in hand, tie up all the prisoners with ropes and take them to the nearby official office, and the rewards will be mine!"

The more Yuya thought about it, the more he felt that he was a genius, clapping his hands with a longing expression, and even his steps became lighter.

"How many?"

Yuya Shiina was so preoccupied with treasure that she scurried towards the dense forest in front of her, not noticing that a pair of bloodshot eyes were staring at her on the trunk above her.

"Huh?"

Shiina Yuya's feet rustled on the leaves that had accumulated over the years, but she seemed to hear something else, and the sound was so intermittent that it was hard to tell what it was.

From time to time, a faint halo of light suddenly appeared in the distance in the dense shade and disappeared mysteriously, and Shiina Yuya's heart suddenly became nervous, in such a strange environment, even if she had a weapon in her hand, she had to be cautious.

Gradually, the sound of unknown movement from a distance drowned out the sound of the wind blowing the treetops, like a pair of hands, firmly grasping her heartstrings, and Shiina Yuya had to stop and listen carefully.

At the moment when Shiina Yuya stood still, a long howl that seemed to have been suppressed suddenly sounded from her right side, and a pair of eyes that emitted a faint green halo emerged from the darkness, a large area of green and faint, extremely permeable.

"Wow, ahhhh

In the next moment, Shiina Yuya watched several gray wolves pounce on him with their teeth and claws, and they had already opened their bloody mouths with a fishy smell, as if they wanted to devour someone.

"Why haven't you heard of wolves......" Shiina ran away in fright by the night, miserable, it seems that he is more than auspicious now.

The sturdy hind legs of the gray wolf in front of him kicked out violently on the thick leafy earth, and its body rushed straight forward like a lightning bolt towards Shiina Yuya.

Shiina didn't have time to dodge in the night's panic, as soon as she took out her pistol, she felt a strong force coming from behind, and the whole person was like a kite that had taken off the string, flying out, and then smashed into the towering tree in the distance that several people couldn't hold, and her head touched the hard trunk and fainted directly.

The wolves finally emerged from the darkness at this time, and there were more than a dozen wolves, their heads lowered and let out a low howl, as they slowly approached Yuya Shiina, who had passed out to the ground.

The gray wolf that had pounced on Shiina Yuya was the first to come to her, and it first circled around Shiina Yuya a few times to make sure that she was really unconscious, and then stepped forward, sniffed vigorously at her body, licked the snow-white neck that was very tempting to it with its slender tongue, and then opened its bloody mouth.

At this moment, several people in black armor suddenly jumped down from the tree above, and one of them aimed at a gray wolf, and the moment they jumped from the tree, they plunged the knife in their hands into the gray wolf's head, and the movement was both crisp and neat.

Just in the blink of an eye, the last gray wolf was buried under the swords of these people, they held blood-stained swords in their hands, and took one last look at Shiina Yuya, who was still unconscious under the tree, and at the signal of the leader, a strong man carried Shiina Yuya and put it on his shoulder.

The group of people with mysterious origin did not stay for long, they came and went in a hurry, dragging the corpse of the gray wolf to the depths of the forest.
