After Keita lied to Yoko, the big demon fox cleverly and cunningly told a big lie, which can probably be regarded as the biggest lie in it!

He snickered in the dark.

The dog gods fell for him completely, because he was definitely not a character who could be sealed into the enchantment so easily. He found a small but fatal loophole in the enchantment that no one noticed, so he deliberately pretended to be imprisoned. And the time is almost ripe.

One more day—

This is the conclusion reached by the Great Demon Fox.

As long as it takes a day, I will definitely be able to bite through this barrier and jump out of the outer world. That is already an indisputable established fact.

"Dog gods, let's see!"

No one heard this laughter.

"And, Yoko! My lovely daughter! ”

No one heard the call.

However, this statement is true

Reverberates in the deep darkness.

If you're going to run somewhere without telling me—

Even if it's the end of this world,

Or the depths of hell, I will surely seek you.

Because that's all I can do.

So much for.

Although it is the height of summer, it is like the full moon of winter.

The night wind blew endlessly, and the pine leaves swayed from side to side as they made a sound, turning into shadows several times larger and reflected on the ground. The Great Elder Inujin stretched out his hand to warm up from the bonfire that lit the bright red flame, and said in a muffled hoarse voice:

"Oh~~ It's finally here, it's finally here."

I saw a young girl wearing a cooking apron appear in front of the Great Elder and salute him with a dignified demeanor.

"Oops...... There is no need to be so respectful. ”

"Yes...... I just passed by Lord Ye Gua, shouldn't it be to disturb the two of you? ”

"Oh...... I've already told Ye Hexagram everything I need to say, so it's okay. And please don't do that, it's really bothering me that you talk to me with that attitude. ”

The Grand Elder reached out and grabbed his cheek, turning his gaze to the side.

"Hehe......"

The girl smiled and looked up, "But I can't be blamed for this. After all, you are now a veritable Great Elder. ”

Hum!

The Great Elder, who had the appearance of a big dog and sat cross-legged on the ground, puffed out his cheeks like a child, and was casually wearing a gray kimono with a striped belt around his waist. Both the body and face are covered with fluff, the eyes with sticky eye dirt look blurry, and the corners of the mouth are missing several teeth.

"If you really want to talk about age, you are ...... than me"

"What are you looking for me?"

The girl smiled and preemptively stopped the topic.

The Great Elder also noticed that he was so stupid that he brought up the topic of age to "women", so he shrunk his neck slightly:

"Uh-all in all. I'm just eager to talk to you. ”

“…… Do you still want to talk to me? ”

"Don't say that, because things have changed somewhat."

The girl frowned: "What does this mean?" ”

The Great Elder's words made her feel particularly uneasy, and the Great Elder looked around and showed an expression like a naughty child after reconfirming that they were the only ones left on the scene:

"Tell you, I'm probably going to die."

The tone of the words seemed understated.

The girl gasped, and the Great Elder immediately changed his troubled expression:

"No, it's not so much that I used too much spiritual power to trap that big demon fox this time. It's rather, that even I feel like I'm running out of gas. ”

"Is this the end of life?"

"I think so."

Seeing the girl shaking her head sadly, the Great Elder changed his tone to a consoling tone and said:

"Oops, even I can't change this."

The girl looked down at the ground and clasped her hands silently.

"Listen to me first. I'm not sure yet, but I don't think I'm wrong. Hahaha, strange to say, I didn't think I could know when my death would come. Anyway, I haven't mentioned this matter to Ye Gu and Dong yet, so you have to help me keep this little secret? ”

The mysterious-looking Grand Elder stretched out his thick fingers and put them in front of his lips.

The girl sighed deeply. An extraordinarily calm smile immediately appeared on his face, and he looked up at the Great Elder with pity.

“…… Don't you regret it? ”

"Regrets?"

The Great Elder's eyes widened at first, and then he laughed loudly.

"Of course no regrets! I had a great time! ”

So the girl narrowed her eyes: "I think so, now I understand your feelings very well." ”

"Oh?"

This time, the elder looked at the girl's face with great interest:

"Do you love your current master so much?"

"Yes."

The girl nodded and continued:

"I love him from the bottom of my heart."

Inugami hardly has a day to die.

Only by passing on one's spiritual power or basic existence to the next generation will it cause them to grow older and become the only reason for their death.

In other words, to give birth to offspring.

"In this way, I can accompany the original Inugami master again. I don't know where I am now, but I plan to find him and follow him again...... Anyway, there is still a real afterlife waiting for me. ”

Speaking of this, the Great Elder showed a slightly uneasy expression for the first time.

"At that time, I will greet the first master of the dog god on my behalf."

The girl bowed deeply, and the Great Elder frowned.

"I said you......"

"Yes?"

"Are you pregnant?"

"This!?"

The red-faced girl couldn't help but raise her head suddenly, covering her chest with both hands.

"Why, how, why would you suddenly ask me such a question?"

"Ah, no, it's just that you've been talking serious since just now, plus your stomach is ......"

The girl is no longer a virgin, and the great elder who has read countless people can naturally see it at a glance, besides

"My stomach ......"

The girl smiled.

"What's wrong?"

The Great Elder noticed his gaffe again, and immediately panicked.

"Uh, no, no. All in all, it's because of this that I want to let you know. After all...... I might die tomorrow. ”

“……”

"I have to say, I'm still worried about the big demon fox. Because as long as I'm gone. The result will disappear. ”

The Great Elder sighed, his shoulders drooping.

"Although I have taught Ye Gu all the skills I can teach, his natural qualifications are more suitable for attacking spells. To be honest, I'm worried about whether he'll be able to get the most out of his killer weapon against the Great Demon Fox. ”

“”

The girl wanted to say something like not worry, but she didn't know how to say it.

The Great Elder, who seemed to have misunderstood, smiled softly:

"Hmm~~ I'm not going to force you, after all, it's thanks to you that you've been taking care of her that Yoko was able to open her heart and decide to stand on our side."

"No, that's Kai-Tai—"

"Either way, we have other capable people to rely on. For example, the current master and Ye hexagram, as well as other dog gods. As long as you add Kaoru Kawahira, Keita and your master Yang Xi, then even against the enemy of the Great Demon Fox, I believe that you will not fall behind. I'm just saying now that if something happens......"

The Great Elder stretched out his fluffy hand and patted the girl's shoulder:

"I mean just in case. What if something happens...... When the time comes, I have to ask you to stop it without taking your life...... Nadeshiko. ”

The girl Nadeshiko lowered her head and pondered for a while, and then nodded slowly:

"If that gives you peace of mind."

The Great Elder smiled happily: "Great, great, now I can return to heaven with peace of mind." ”

However......

Nadeshiko, who is a dog god, has a completely different possibility in mind.

She couldn't take her eyes off the sky.

A meteor seemed to pierce the dark night sky. Falling from the sky to the ground

Since he was sensible, only that thing was the closest thing to him.

That thing has a rather eerie appearance.

Its head is a transparent crystal ball and a black cloak draped over it. It had no feet, and its long, pale and slender hands extended outward from the gap in its cloak. I don't really remember if it had a body or not. The thing made of crystals, a black cloak, and pale arms was a ghost-like being.

When I was a teenager, I often thought to myself: It's like a sunny day doll.

The thing floated in the air and moved freely through the castle. It is a magical ancient city located on a remote lake that moves with the white mist.

This is where the young boy and the thing live.

The thing is in charge of the education of the teenager, too.

It teaches what a clear and upright heart is. and about the teenager's family.

The teenager had a father and a younger sister, and there seemed to be many blood relatives. However, for some reason, teenagers live here alone.

The thing kept saying the same thing over and over again: 'It won't be long enough.'" Your father will come and meet you. ’

That thing did everything in his power to tell him how important his "family" was and how much to cherish at the same time. Because the boy liked it so much, he always listened intently to it. In addition to this, it talks about the beauty of caring for others and the importance of helping those in need.

Under the guidance of that thing, the young man learned how important it is for a person to live in the world.

The thing makes a high-pitched squeaking sound and doesn't appear to be human.

The boy only noticed it after spending some time with it, but the boy didn't really care. Because for the boy, whatever that thing was, it was still his respected father, his knowledgeable teacher, and his trusted friend.

He didn't feel lonely at all.

It's just that the thing seems to think that the boy who lacks the memory of his family is quite pitiful.,So often in order to comfort the boy.,Deliberately use a lot of dazzling magic in front of him.。

It's just that the boy wasn't very interested in magic. Although in addition to the basic knowledge, that thing also taught the boy several simple magics, but deep down the boy always felt that something was not right, and he thought that there should be a more suitable path for him.

The thing seemed a little disappointed by the boy's reaction.

'Okay, forget it. ’

It hung its shoulders in frustration and said to the boy.

Other than that, though, the boy still had a good relationship with the thing.

Teenagers walk around this intricately constructed and spacious ancient city, sitting in front of the city's platform piano and playing music, or reading heavy books to pass the time. And during this time, the thing was busy concentrating on its own work. I don't know what that thing does, but it seems like a pretty good job.

The castle is rarely visited by guests, but for the most part, visitors are grateful for it. As far as he accidentally overheard, it was either to save the bedridden patient or to help a family living in poverty, so the boy always held this idea in his heart:

"That thing's job is to help people." (To be continued......)
