"Okay, I'm not your servant, I can deal with the monsters on the way, but if you want me to do other things for you on the way, it's that you're thinking too much, and I won't take care of you," Tsubaki said to Xia Ruo in a cold tone.

"I see," Xia Ruo nodded, and the only thing he found difficult was the monsters.

……

For the witch, wandering is a spiritual experience in itself.

Of course, the process of having a capable shrine maiden helping people eradicate evil monsters is very difficult, and it is not uncommon for a shrine maiden who is not strong enough to die in a foreign land during a wandering.

Of course Tsubaki is different, she has been gifted since she was a child and has strong strength, and ordinary youkai are not her opponents at all. However, looking at the oil bottle behind him, Tsubaki still frowned, he was actually entangled by such a person.

Judging from the speech and demeanor of the young man behind him, it should be a young man who has not suffered hardship, running out of the family, and his hands are very white and delicate, and there is no trace of holding a sword, not like a powerful samurai.

Tsubaki doesn't care, if that boy can't stand it and complains to himself, he is not a kind enough person to take care of him all the time.

Such a person, it is estimated that he will follow himself to get rid of the demon, and if he doesn't take care of him, he will not be able to stand it and give up in less than three days, I really want to see him crying and begging him to send him back.

"My name is Xia Ruo, may I ask what is the name of the shrine maiden?"

On the way, Xia Ruo looked at Tsubaki's very cold appearance and didn't speak, so he took the initiative to start talking.

"Tsubaki."

"Oh, I don't think it's good that I've been calling you Mikomi-sama, so I'll call you Miss Tsubaki from now on."

Tsubaki didn't say anything, she found that this teenager was different from others, ordinary people, whether they were nobles or commoners, after seeing themselves, they had a kind of respect and awe from the bottom of their hearts, but this teenager didn't.

His attitude towards himself is very different, just like chatting with his usual life, and he only feels this way when he talks to his master.

"So you're out on a tour? With a cat? ”

Tsubaki curiously glanced at Tom in Xia Ruo's arms, unlike the fierce monsters he usually killed, Tom Cat was still very cute.

"Yes, its name is Tom, and it is a very, very powerful cat," Xia Ruo praised Tom and smoothed Tom's fur soothingly, "What, do you like it?" It's okay to give you a touch. ”

"Meow."

Tom screamed at the right time.

After Tsubaki heard Xia Ruo's words, a trace of intention flashed in his eyes, but he instantly changed back to a cold posture, "I'm not an ordinary woman, and I don't have any interest in this cute creature." ”

"That's right."

Since people don't like it, Xia Ruo didn't force others to touch it, but Xia Ruo found that the road that Tsubaki took seemed to be wrong, and he kept moving towards the depths of the mountain, and he had no intention of going down the mountain at all.

The surrounding woods are getting denser and denser, and the top of the mountain doesn't look like it's inhabited by humans, and the sky is slowly getting darker, this mountain is very big, and Xia Ruo doesn't know what is hidden in the mountain at night.

Just want to go camping in the wilderness, is it so exciting?

"Miss Tsubaki, are you taking the wrong path, what are we doing up the mountain?" Xia Ruo raised this question in time.

Tsubaki didn't turn his head back, "That's right, I'm chasing a very difficult youkai, I already know its location, it's to get around this mountain, but it's too time-consuming to detour, so it's better to go over it directly." ”

Is it faster to climb a mountain than to take a detour? Xia Ruo roughly estimated the size of the mountain under his feet, and it seemed that this was really the case.

"So that's the case, then let's hurry up," Xia Ruo's physical fitness has doubled, and he didn't have the slightest breath after walking such a long way.

Tsubaki was a little surprised when she saw that Xia Ruo could keep up with her pace, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

Luckily, there were no youkai along the way, but before the two reached the top of the mountain, it turned dark.

Unlike modern cities, there are street lamps and other light sources even late at night, but there is really no light in the mountains at night, and the moonlight is the only light source, and if the moon is covered by dark clouds, then you will understand what it means to reach out and not see your fingers, in that case, you can't continue to walk at all.

The line of sight has been lowered to the point where it is impossible to see things three meters away, and the roar of unknown beasts or youkai can be heard from the depths of the forest, and at night the youkai also become active, and the entire deep mountain seems to become another world at night.

Tsubaki was a little curious, the environment had become like this, and the young man behind him still looked as usual.

"Aren't you afraid of youkai?" Tsubaki asked.

Afraid?

I'm sure I'm scared.

In this kind of forest surrounded by monsters, it is dark all around, and there will be monsters at any time, how can Xia Ruo not be afraid, but if he retreats now, goes down the mountain or goes home, Xia Ruo dares to guarantee that when the system is recorded as an animation, it will definitely become a stain on his character, and it is impossible to play it. If you don't play, you don't have prestige income, and your efforts are not in vain.

But if you resist it, you can just establish a brave character image here.

Therefore, Xia Ruo's expression was as calm as ever.

"I'm afraid."

"Then why are you still so calm?"

"Because Miss Tsubaki said that she would deal with the youkai, I have heard of Miss Tsubaki, you are a very powerful and famous shrine maiden, I think that with you, I will not be hurt by the monster to the slightest hair," Xia Ruo's tone was very serious.

"......" Tsubaki suddenly fell silent.

She stopped, turned around and looked directly at Xia Ruo, without saying a word, just watching, at night, Tsubaki's black eyes looked very scary.

Xia Ruo looked at Tsubaki for a long time and didn't speak, staring at herself like this, a little puzzled, thinking that she was angry.

"What's wrong, did I say the wrong thing?"

"Whew-"

Tsubaki exhaled, then shook his head again, the expression on his face softened slightly, "It's nothing, I just think ...... It turns out that I still like people to say good things about me. ”

"Didn't anyone praise Miss Tsubaki before?" Xia Ruo asked curiously.

"Those people prefer Kikyo," Tsubaki's expression turned cold at the mention of this, "Okay, it's so dark, let's rest here, it's good there." ”

Tsubaki pointed in a direction with her white fingers, it was a large tree, and next to the old looking tree, there happened to be a slightly flat place.

"Huh? Right there? Xia Ruo's eyebrows raised, and then stared at Tsubaki's face, "Then won't the place where we sleep be ......?"

"Of course you sleep against a tree, you don't think there's a hut for you to live in in this kind of wilderness," Tsubaki's voice was as cold as ever.
