The next day, Inuyasha and the others set off again. Last night, although Inuyasha fell asleep with Kagome in his arms, he didn't do anything to Kagome, the two of them just used their hearts and felt each other's warmth.

Love, compared to the union of the body, the resonance of the soul is the most important.

As if completely forgetting about Kikyo's return yesterday, Inuyasha and Kagome seem to have returned to their usual and continue their journey to find the Y-Fragment of the Four Souls. The only difference is that after meeting Kikyo, Inuyasha often looks at the distant sky when he is resting, and the time for contemplation has become much longer.

"Kagome, Inuyasha's appearance has become so strange!"

Shippo also sensitively noticed Inuyasha's abnormality, and approached Kagome, who had just washed her face with spring water.

"Hmm!"

Kagome knew what Inuyasha was thinking, and what was she worried about, fifty years, what had happened that made Kikyo have to seal Inuyasha, Tsubaki and Naraku, who were they, and why they were framed. Fifty years later, what will happen between Kikyo and Inuyasha, who has returned, and what will happen to the NV children who fell in love with Inuyasha, including her, and Inuyasha.

These things are piled up in Inuyasha's heart, heavy, and overwhelming.

"Hey, silly!"

It's a pity that these things, Shippo, this iǎ child, will not know, he only knows, jumped out of Kagome's arms, and then, gave Inuyasha a fist in a daze.

"It hurts!"

Of course, it didn't hurt at all, for Inuyasha's perverted body, but he was bothered and needed something else to distract him, so Shippo's fist just gave him an excuse.

With a flick of his head, Inuyasha grabbed Shippo's tail and carried him upside down in front of his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

"You're in a daze, do you still want to collect the Y-Fragments of the Four Souls! Silly dogs! ”

The upside-down Nanapo looked at Inuyasha with disdain and shouted loudly.

"It's annoying, I think about things once in a while!"

was actually despised by an iǎ ghost, and Inuyasha's thoughts were finally retracted.

"That's weird!"

"What did you say!"

Shippo, thank you!

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, who was having a big fight with Shippo, and secretly thanked in her heart. Because of Shippo's interruption, Inuyasha didn't think about those troublesome things anymore, and perhaps, it would be best to just go with the flow.

Kagome walked over to where the bicycle had been parked and stepped on

"Inuyasha, Shippo, don't mess around, let's go!"

And on the other side of them, a mage who was also traveling in search of the Y-Fragment of the Four Souls was also heading in the same direction.

Smack!

Venerable Maitreya looked at the fork in the road in front of him, stood up the Zen staff in his hand, then closed his eyes, put his hands together after letting go, patted it gently, and slowly opened his eyes after hearing the sound of the Zen staff falling to the ground.

The Zen staff fell at the fork in the road on the right!

Is it on the right!

Maitreya walked to the place where the staff had fallen, squatted down, and was about to pick up his staff and continue in the direction indicated by the heavens, when two villagers came from behind him and walked towards the fork in the road on the left, talking as they went.

"There seems to be a young young NV in the tea room in front!"

"I heard that it's an NV kid with white skin and bright eyes!"

"Then my stomach happens to be hungry too, let's go check it out!"

"That's right!"

Maitreya stood up, looked at the backs of the two villagers who were fading away, and gently flicked his toes on the Zen staff, changing its direction. Then he lowered his head and said in a slightly surprised tone.

"Ah, it's on the left!"

(It is indeed for a young NV child with fair skin and bright eyes!) ）

Maitreya, who was sitting on the stool, moved slightly, and his expression was indescribably frustrated and disappointed.

"You've been waiting for a long time!"

The white-skinned, bright-eyed NV child in the villager's mouth came out of the tea room and handed a plate of balls to Maitreya.

(I should have gone to the right!) ）

Maitreya opened his eyes depressedly, glanced at this big boy with white skin and bright eyes, but with three times the body of himself, and quickly took the plate, regretting it in his heart.

"It's just that the legend here is that the princess of the lord seems to have been possessed by something, so she fell ill!"

"This is a big event!"

Just when Maitreya was depressed and eating the balls, the two villagers who had harmed him and chose the wrong path chatted again. Hearing this, Maitreya's ears moved again, and his depressed mood eased a little.

A princess who is bent over by a youkai!

If you are a princess, you must be very beautiful!

Maitreya quickly finished eating the balls, then got up and came to the two chatting villagers, clasped one hand, bowed slightly, and asked:

"Excuse me, where is that lord in your mouth?"

"It's the Mage! Are you going to get rid of the demon! The lord's home, which is not far from the town of Iǎ in front, I heard that as long as someone can cure the princess, he can get a lot of rewards! ”

"Thank you!"

A lot of rewards!

Maitreya took out the money from his bosom, put it on the table, and left the tea room.

As the lord of this area, he must live in the most luxurious house. Maitreya soon found the lord's home, and when he claimed to be a mage with powerful spiritual powers, and came to heal the princess, the butler quickly led him into the lord's mansion and met the lord.

"Mage, if you can't exorcise the monsters and cure the princess, I won't give you a bowl of porridge, understand!"

"Of course, but! In this time of war, you have lived such a luxurious life, I think your people must be very resentful of you! ”

Maitreya, who was sitting in front of the lord, looked around at the furnishings in the room, and then sighed at the lord with a thief's eyebrows.

"Less wordy!"

The lord who didn't look like a good person seemed to be hit by Maitreya, and warned unhappily, if it wasn't for him to exorcise the monsters and save the faint princess, I'm afraid he would directly give Maitreya, the mage who dared to mock him to his face, to the sweeping stick!

Before Maitreya could say something sarcastic, the lord led him to the back room.

"Princess, the mage has come to see you!"

Maitreya, who followed behind the lord, saw at a glance a princess dressed in a pink-kimono lying on a tatami mat. However, Maitreya, who had already learned from the past, did not act rashly this time, but walked to the front with an iǎ heart, lowered his head and checked the princess's appearance.

"Ahh It's so pitiful, my face is swollen like this! ”

Maitreya, who saw the princess's appearance, sighed regretfully, in his opinion, if this princess's appearance could be thinned a little more, no, two circles...... Maybe it's three laps, it should be a beautiful princess. He guessed it might be the princess's illness! Because judging from the lord's thief-eyed appearance, this princess should also be very thin.

"That's how it is, hey! Are you really a mage! ”

The lord behind Maitreya said dissatisfiedly, indeed, seeing his appearance, he couldn't tell that his NV would be such a fat NV child. This is also what has always displeased him, Maitreya, this is the second time to expose his shortcomings.

But Maitreya didn't care about the lord's words at all, since the princess was such a fat NV person, he didn't have any extra thoughts, and began to focus on the matter of eliminating demons. Hawkers,Originally, his commission was to destroy the monsters.。

After putting away the heart, Maitreya immediately revealed the true skills of his self-proclaimed strong mage, and immediately fell into the faint demonic aura attached to the princess's body, and following the direction of that demonic aura, he saw the huge Buddha statue enshrined on the left.

"Excuse me, that Amitabha statue?"

"It came from the hands of the declining nobles, and it is a rare Buddha statue!"

"Hmmm......"

After listening to the lord's words, Maitreya got up and walked to the Buddha statue, stared at the Buddha's eyes for a moment, and then turned back to the lord and said:

"I see, please leave the princess behind, and the rest of the people leave the house!"

"Huh?"

"That's it, you can!"

Maitreya looked at the lord solemnly with an extremely solemn expression, and said slowly word by word.

"No matter what sound you make, don't peek at it, if you don't want to be eaten by youkai!"

"Ah...... Well! ”

Seeing Maitreya's stern and cautious eyes, the lord nodded slowly. At this time, he somewhat believed that Maitreya was indeed a profound mage, and this momentum and sense of oppression had never been felt from those previous mages and monks.

"Then, I'll get rid of the evil spirit of Princess Danger!"

The lord nodded solemnly again and turned to leave the room.

"So!"

After hearing the sound of the room being closed, Maitreya took his attention back, looked at the tall Buddha statue standing, and said in a deep voice:

"If you come out obediently, I will forgive you with mercy!"

Jingle bells!

After speaking, Maitreya pointed the Zen staff at the Buddha statue and waited for the other party's answer.

Boom Boom Boom......

After a while, the huge Buddha statue trembled violently, and an evil demonic aura emerged from its majestic body, and then, the solemn face instantly distorted, becoming hideous and terrifying.

"Won't you agree so meekly?"

Monsters who are truly sensible are actually very rare. Maitreya's extra move is just to see that the other party has not really hurt the lives of innocent people, and to give the other party a chance to mend his ways. But it seems that the other party doesn't appreciate it!

"Roar!"

A huge roar of a beast shook the whole house violently, and the lord and his servants who were guarding outside also felt the shaking of the earth at the same time, and they were even frightened away from the house, let alone peeking, I am afraid they would not even dare to get a little closer.

"Is it a weasel youkai?"

Maitreya looked at the monster that rushed out of the Buddha statue, muttered in confusion, jumped up violently, jumped to the other side, and dodged the monster's attack.

"Roar!"

"That light...... Is it the Y-Fragment of the Four Souls! No wonder an ordinary animal has turned into a youkai that sucks human souls! ”

Seeing the flash of the Four Souls Y-Fragment on the Weasel Monster's forehead, Maitreya knew why this Youkai would suck human souls, but not kill a single person!

Originally, it was just an animal, but it was only because of the magic power of the Y-fragment of the four souls that it would become a monster, although the demon power was there, but the spiritual wisdom was insufficient, so it would suck the soul of a human to enhance the power of its soul. The other party's mind is just an animal, and of course he will not understand his words, let alone obey.

"Roar!"

Since the spirit is only retained at the level of the beast, the weasel monster naturally has only one reaction to Maitreya, that is, kill him and then eat him! With a roar, the weasel monster pounced on Maitreya again.

However, Maitreya, who had already seen through the reality of the other party, how could he be caught by a wild beast, and at the moment when the weasel pounced in front of him, his body suddenly took a step back, and then instantly raised the Zen staff in his hand, which was already full of spiritual power, aimed at the Y-fragment of the four souls on the weasel's forehead, and swung it violently.

"Whew......"

The huge weasel let out a terrible scream, and with a bang, it turned back into its original true big iǎ, and the Y-fragment of the Four Souls on its forehead also detached from its forehead and fell to the floor as it recovered.

"I didn't expect to be able to get a piece of the Y-fragment of the Four Souls, so next, let me collect the reward for slaying the demon!"

Maitreya, who picked up the Y-fragment of the Four Souls, let out a strange laugh as he looked at the various valuable things in the room.

After the sound in the room had completely disappeared, the lord and the others remained outside until the princess's voice came out, and then pulled back into the house. At this time, the mage was gone, and the only people in the room were the princess who had woken up, and a faint m-iǎ weasel rat. Under the princess's statement, everyone knew that it was this weasel monster that had been eating her soul. And the mage who got rid of the monster didn't even leave his name, so he quietly left.

Just as the lord was glad that he was exempt from his payment, the servant's anxious voice came.

"My lord, something is wrong, in the back room!"

"Everything of value has been taken away!"

"And three horses!"

"...... It's been calculated! ”

Looking at the empty room, the lord, who was still happy that he didn't have to pay just now, collapsed weakly on the clean floor.

"So, where do you sell these things?"

In the distance, Maitreya, who was carrying a slow carriage of various items, looked at the ill-gotten gains he had obtained from the lord's family behind him, and muttered to himself. A
