It's not too far from Kaede Village, but it's not close to a cave where to go.

"Uh-uh"

A low, painful voice came from a man who was almost covered in bandages and emitted a strange smell of herbs mixed with herbs and a rotten stench.

"Kikyo bellflower"

The only intact eye reveals an extreme desire as well, desire. Hope.

His name is Oni Spider, and he is a bandit who has heard the legend of the Jade of the Four Souls but does not believe it, so he instigates his boss to attack Kikyo and Yako - as a result, the boss is directly poked blind in one eye and almost killed.

In the rear, the ghost spider, who thought that the boss was going to die, couldn't wait to take the boss's place, but was retaliated against, and after being burned in the brothel, the "corpse" was also thrown off the cliff.

Although he was lucky not to die, it was obvious that he would not live long in the wilderness if he was seriously injured, but his luck did not run out, and shortly after he was thrown off the cliff, he happened to meet the bellflower who was collecting medicine here, and was then taken to a cave not far away for healing.

How to say that? Kikyo saved him from the instinct of a shrine maiden, but in the eyes of the Oni Spider, it was different - this woman was not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted, and even her whole body exuded a rancid stench to help her.

Apparently, he was obsessed with Kikyo.

But unlike the fascination of ordinary people, the ghost spider was originally a bandit, and he believed that as long as he wanted it, he would just take it - but the tragedy is that he is now a cripple, and the most he can save with the bellflower or the medical skills of this era is basically impossible.

So he hates, he is jealous, he is unwilling.

The feeling of having a rare treasure in front of you and being powerless to reach out is painful and hopeless.

"Kikyo uh-ah!!!"

His vocal cords had been burned and almost completely necrotic, but he still screamed.

And then—

"What a pure evil thought~~"

The sun has set in the west, and the time of the devil has quietly arrived.

“！！？”

"Haha-come on, so pure, so evil, come on, let's become one!!"

"Youkai? Ha, my rotten and foul-smelling body can still attract youkai? ”

Then his bandaged mouth grinned, and the rancid smell on his body was a little more.

"Hey, if we fuse, will my wish come true?"

Perhaps under the influence of the monster, the ghost spider spoke unusually smoothly at this time, but there was a strong evil aura in his tone.

"If there is integration, then what cannot be achieved?"

In the cave, under the faint candlelight, the black shadows cast by the monsters on the cave walls were extremely distorted.

"In that case"

The suddenly widened one-eyed eye was bloodshot and full of madness.

At the same time, a drop of inky black viscous liquid condensed into the void - tick!

It dripped on the forehead of the ghost spider, and then penetrated deeply.

"Come on, youkai!!"

Crazy gluttony--The spider-shaped scar on his back shimmered with an unusual light in the faint candlelight.

But in the end, no monsters, including the ghost spider himself, found the black liquid.

It's not careless, it's just not qualified.

But the only thing that can be determined, although not powerful, but full of evil intent and full of ominous sense of demonic energy pulsating slightly in the cave proves that a monster that stirs up wind and rain has been born

"Oh, I always feel a chill behind my back-"

Su Mo shuddered suddenly.

"Hey, is it really okay for you to be so brazen and dare to wander away from my seat?"

The voice of the slippery scoop was a little helpless.

"Huh? The law says it's your seat? ”

Hearing Slippery Scoop's words, Su Mo raised his eyebrows, and immediately ignored the slight unhappiness just now, and then looked down with a mocking face-"If you have the ability, you will rob it!" Whoever wins the battle counts. ”

Full of provocations.

"You-!"

Slippery clenched her fists, glared at him through gritted teeth, and then turned around and sat down on the porch!

"Hey, you're stupid to me."

Pick up the pastry brought by a little monster next to you and taste it slowly.

"Boring."

Su Mo shrugged, then relaxed and leaned against the trunk.

――There is a huge cherry blossom tree in the middle of the courtyard of the main house of the Nura Gumi, and its thick branches are perfect for sitting on it. It's just that the people who usually dare to sit on it are just Slippery Scoop and Su Mo.

And the two guys have fought over it more than once because of this seat, well, every time Su Mo wins.

"By the way, Slippery Scoop, I'll ask you something."

Su Mo looked at the stars in the sky, thinking in his heart that this was another new moon, and Yezi had become a human again, and his mouth called out the slippery scoop that was venting towards the snack because he was in an unhappy mood.

"What?"

"What do you think of the future life of the carp companion?"

"Huh?"

"Carp companion, half-demon - do you want him to live a human life, or a monster?"

Su Mo thought of Yezi again, who was also a half-demon but had always been full of entanglements in his bloodline.

"Well, look at the kid's own."

Slippery Scoop took out the cigarette stick and smoked it with a click.

"After all, even though I've been injured like that, it's okay to live for hundreds of years."

"That's right, the carp companion is much luckier than the boy in the night. Because her father died before she was born, and her mother died early and was bullied in her childhood, although she has always covered it up, I can see that she is actually eager to become a complete monster. ”

There was a slight sigh in his voice.

The carp companion is completely different from Yoko in this regard, he has enjoyed the caress of his parents and the protection of the entire slave group since he was a child, and he has never had the slightest doubt about his half-human and half-demon bloodline, and he is happy as if he is soaking in a honey pot.

"So I'll let that kid choose, and I'll support him no matter what."

The slippery scoop was propped up on his knees, and his whole body was almost blocked by the smoke that swirled around, but the emotion full of longing and joy for the future could not be stopped.

"That's fine, oh yes, didn't I go to look for Yako before? That kid has changed a lot. ”

Su Mo's mood became high again.

"Oh?"

"All I can say is that the power of love is really great."

"Yako is looking for a man?"

Slippery Scoop became interested.

"That man dares to beat the night and pay attention to me and kill him."

Su Mo showed a kind smile: "Of course it's a girl." ”

"What?!!"

Slippery Scoop said that Su Mo's words frightened him so much that his cigarette sticks fell to the ground.

"Well, don't worry about it, Lily is the most loving, isn't it?"

Su Mo waved his hand and looked indifferent: "I only know that the current Yezi has been changed a lot by that child." ”

"I'm looking forward to the future." (To be continued.) )
