Chapter 5: Monsters (Part II)

Even if she was ready to be open and honest, the girl was still a little caught off guard at this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

She has always known that Su Mu is a very smart and difficult person, but for his agility, the girl has the most intuitive experience at this time.

A little timid met the young man's eyes, but fortunately there was no guard, no rejection, and the dark eyes were still the same as before, so peaceful that she relaxed unconsciously.

She loved the look.

"It seems that this is the first time Su Mu has called my name~" The girl's face once again filled with a cheerful smile.

"If you want to blame it, blame your surname for being too awkward." Su Mu said angrily.

The girl pursed her lips, obviously dissatisfied with Su Mu's explanation: "But you can call me by my name......"

"Huh?" Su Mu was slightly stunned, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Isn't it true that only close people can call names in your place?" ”

"It's okay between friends~!!"

Friend?

Looking at the girl's bulging face, Su Mu was slightly stunned.

He has always felt that the girl is very troublesome, but he actually doesn't hate getting along with her, and he is even used to always following this guy who is nominally taking care of him, but is actually taken care of by him. Su Mu took all this for granted, but never considered what kind of relationship the two had between them. It has continued to this day.

came back to his senses, but found that the girl had become a little crying because of her hesitation, which made Su Mu couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, he subconsciously raised his hand and put it on the girl's head in a somewhat dull gaze, gently rubbing the soft hair, just like he did to his sister at home.

"I see, Mushi."

"......" the girl glared, as if she couldn't react. When the boy didn't answer, she thought that the boy might continue to play tricks on her, and even laugh at her wishful thinking too much. Although these actions may be sad themselves, the girl is also ready to forgive him.

But I didn't expect this person to respond to him so bluntly.

"Why do you have that expression? Sure enough, I still prefer the term 'cat', right? ”

"Not really!"

The two always seem to go off topic together, and time seems to pass a lot faster than usual. The orange light fell through the window, and the girl's face was flushed, and she knew that it was time to explain the things, even if the person in front of her did not seem to be in a hurry at all.

“…… Su Mu, as you think, I'm not human. ”

After speaking, before the boy could speak, the girl's purple eyes suddenly became brighter than before, and they were still clearly visible even in the glow of the setting sun.

The anomaly lasted only a moment, and the girl was still a girl, but there were some inhuman features on the human appearance, a pair of furry ears, and a tail hanging from the bottom of her skirt.

For the girl's performance of transforming without saying a word, Su Mu only froze for a moment, and then suddenly, pinched the ears that had just grown out of her head in the girl's stunned gaze-

"Woo~~"

"Is it really the real thing?" The warm touch, the slightly trembling body, and the usually stupid face that was already red like a ripe apple, these performances let Su Mu know that this was the real thing.

"Touch, touch, touch~~!"

The girl's voice was low and trembling a little, but Su Mu seemed to hear the smell of anger, which made him subconsciously let go of his hand. And almost at the same time, the girl seemed to be like a frightened little animal and retreated several steps in a row, and then covered the ears on her head and squatted on the ground to stare at Su Mu with a shameful face.

Ignoring the girl's performance at this time, Su Mu, who had already aroused his interest, went straight to the point: "Mu Shi, are you a monster?" ”

“…… Well. As she spoke, the girl seemed to have shifted her attention, and looked at Su Mu a little strangely: "Su Mu, you don't seem to be surprised at all?" ”

Su Mu shook his head and smiled: "No, I'm actually surprised, I didn't expect that I didn't notice a monster around me for so long." ”

The girl laughed: "It's so easy to be found before it's troublesome~ As long as the monster has a certain amount of cultivation, it can turn into a human form, although it may be a little weird at first, but as long as you are in the crowd for a long time, it will be difficult to see the difference~"

Hearing this, Su Mu asked with some surprise: "Mu Shi, how old are you now?" ”

"Huh? It's already 15, what's wrong? ”

“…… It's nothing, because I couldn't see that you were a youkai before, and I thought you had been alive for a long time. ”

"Hey, hey...... Isn't it still visible to you after that? The smile on the girl's face darkened a little: "And I'm not a pure monster, I'm a half-asser no matter what." ”

"Well, I agree with that."

"You're going to comfort me!!"

Su Mu's eyes fell on the girl's tail hidden behind her: "If you let me touch my tail too, I will comfort you." ”

"Don't give it!" The girl blushed again.

"Stingy!"

"Hmm!" The embarrassed girl stopped talking, but in the end she just turned her head to the side, as if to say, 'Ignore you'.

Seeing this, Su Mu smiled and was not ready to continue teasing her.

"So, now that you've introduced yourself, it's time to tell me why you came to me."

“…… Well. The girl nodded slightly.

"Su Mu, as you guessed in the morning, protecting you is indeed one of my tasks, in fact, some people wanted to attack you more than a year ago, but they have more scruples in this place, so they have not taken action until now."

"Just over a year ago? Isn't it because of my dad? Su Mu asked suspiciously.

In response to Su Mu's question, the girl nodded: "Although Su is a big man with a high status, those people want to arrest you not because of him, but because of your own value." ”

"Su Mu, the reason why you were able to recover is not because your body recovers naturally, but because someone gave you something very precious."

"'Holy Spring', it is a kind of person who can be seriously injured and dying in an instant, and it can also make a mediocre person reborn, even if it is ......" said the girl, whose face seemed to turn a little pale because of something, and then her voice became dry:

“…… Even if it has already been taken, as long as you eat the person who has taken it, you can still get most of the effects. ”

After hearing ......this, Su Mu did not panic or be surprised, but calmly looked at the girl in front of him who lowered her head as if she didn't dare to look at her.

"Have you ever been tempted too?"

“…… Well. ”
