"How's it going, Natsu? Do you smell demons? ”

In this kind of situation when faced with multiple roads and not knowing how to go, it is Natsu's turn to come into play.

Natsu sniffed in front of each passage and came back and proposed, "It seems that there is a demon smell in every passage, why don't we go separately!" ”

"Split up? It's not impossible......" Elusa looked down and pondered the possible combat power and possible situations.

"Yo Si! Harpy, let's go! ”

"Hey!"

Before Elusa could give the order, Natsu led the Harpy into the middle passage.

"Natsu! Wait...... Really, this guy always acts without listening! ”

"Forget it, you didn't know him on the first day, he's just that. The guild really needs such reckless people to be energetic! ”

Hot-blooded teenagers, no matter where they are, they can eat openly, and they may be angry when they get along, but they will definitely not be resentful.

"Gray, please go with Natsu!"

Elusa's idea is very simple, there are three roads, there are four people here, and there must be one of them to take two.

In terms of strength, Natsu and Gray are relatively weak, and they don't have the upper hand when they encounter demons that can transform into elements alone, so it's best to go together; And she and Kira are a little stronger, and they have a better chance of winning when they encounter demons alone, so they go one by one.

"I see!" Gray also knew that the two in front of him didn't have to worry about him, so he quickly agreed, and turned to chase after the passage Natsu entered.

"Then, the enemy of the other passage will be handed over to you!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

After saying hello, Elusa turned and walked towards the passage on the left, leaving Kira standing still.

One second...... Two seconds......

"It's okay, it's okay, let's get started, move all the things here hahaha......"

After everyone left, Kira finally revealed her true form, and then pulled out a backpack from her body, and kept filling the gems and crystals on the wall.

"One, two......"

The backpack didn't look big, but it was very capable, and Kira didn't fill it up after ten minutes of dismantling it, but it still looked deflated.

Of course, because this backpack is cast with a space transfer magic, and the other end is connected to the underground treasure vault of Kira's house, which can be regarded as a treasure trove to carry around.

Of course, no one but himself can activate the magic of spatial transmission, and can only be used as an ordinary backpack.

"What are you doing?"

The sudden, crisp sound echoed through the hollow, almost scaring the porters who were working half to death.

At some point, the girl Winter quietly followed behind them, and she was looking at Kira with a puzzled expression.

"Uh...... I'm creating wealth with my labor! ”

Kira still feels a little embarrassed when the little girl sees her like this, but it's chilling to make money!

"You said yesterday that adults have special fetishes, is that what you mean?"

Although the family runs a tavern, Winter is still young and has always lived in the snowy mountains where this kind of bird does not come, so he has no concept of money, and he does not understand Kira's behavior very well, but thinks he has a hobby of collecting things.

Ah, what fetish? Did I say anything in front of her yesterday?

In other words, this little girl would say such simple words, is it a broken person? I always thought she was a very mature person......

Kira decided not to dwell on these things anymore, and asked directly, "Why are you here?" ”

After returning to the normal topic, Winter visibly reverted to his original tone: "It is the responsibility of the Issinus clan to deal with demons, I don't want to rely on you all, I have to fight together!" ”

Clear! At such a young age, the ideological consciousness is really high!

"It's dangerous!" Kira half-crouched down and looked at her levelly, "You didn't inherit the Demon Extermination Method, and you suffered a lot against those guys who have lived for dozens or hundreds of years!" ”

"I received the power of a demon, even if I can't help too much, I won't be a burden!" The girl's attitude was firm, "On the day my father died, I promised him that even if I didn't inherit that magic, I could take on the responsibility of the Ehisaeus family!" ”

Kira got up and continued the carrying work in her hands, asking without looking back, "Is this your father's request before he died, or is it your own attitude?" ”

Winter didn't know what Kira wanted to say, but replied truthfully: "It's what I want to do!" ”

"Well...... "Well," Kira asked, after a moment's thought, "but perhaps your father didn't want you to inherit these responsibilities at all?" ”

"I know! Because the Ice Demon Slayer Law can only be inherited if the person is willing! ”

What? And what's going on?

Kira looked back with some surprise: "So ......"

"Yes, it's a secret that only those who receive the inheritance know, and even my uncle doesn't know," Winter said a secret that he had never told anyone else, "In the first place, the magic of the Ehisneus was not stolen, but my father gave it to him voluntarily!" ”

"No wonder you don't have much hostility towards the man who took away the magic, then your father's death ......"

"When I was very young, my father said that those who hunt demons will eventually be devoured by demons. I didn't understand it at the time, but later I learned that most of his consciousness had been swallowed up by demonic power! ”

Winter tells Kira his story word by word, while Kira eats melons in silence.

In the snow, there were two figures, one large and one small.

"Father, how can your body be like this?"

"Those who hunt demons will eventually be devoured by demons, is that what it means......

The man looked at most of his pitch-black body, crouched down and said to his daughter, "Winter, this is the responsibility that our people must bear, and if you can, I hope you will never have to accept this power." ”

……

In the small shop, two men sit opposite each other.

"You say you want this magic? This is the power that devours people's will! ”

"I need to use it against more powerful demons, please lend me it! Before I die, I will return this power to your daughter! ”

"No...... It would be nice if you were willing to accept it! Although the elders of the clan have always said that it is used to protect against some powerful demon, no one has seen it for a long time, and many people have died because of this magic.

It's better to pass the magic out like that, at least to make it work as it should. In the future, you don't have to deliberately return the magic to my daughter, you just need to find a suitable person to pass it on! ”

"Thank you very much!"

Where they couldn't see, Winter listened silently as the two men talked.

……

On the snowy mountain, demons and wolves surrounded the father and daughter.

"Damn...... I didn't expect to encounter the legendary demon just after teaching the magic, what a bad luck! ”

"Father!"

When the man dies, the man who has been taught magic comes to his aid......

"You ...... Is it the legendary demon? Go to hell! ”

……

At the grave, men and girls bow down.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen because of my arrival!"

"It's not your fault that my father passed on the magic for me! I'll prove to my father that I can live well without this magic! You can still take on the responsibilities of the Ehisners! ”

……

Inside the cave, Winter unfolds his memories and tells Kira about his past.

"The Ice Demon Slayer Method, on the surface, seems to be the glory of the Isisnius, but in fact, only those who inherit it know that it is not glory at all, but a force that will put us in danger.

In order to prevent me from being consumed by demonic powers, and to prevent me from taking on the responsibilities of the clan, my father passed on the magic to the man who happened to be here, hoping to put an end to the nightmare of the Isisnius!

I didn't expect to be attacked by water demons after that, and although the man later avenged my father, I still wanted to end it with my own hands, these demons who had cursed the Ehisnius for hundreds of years! ”

It's interesting and interesting, I didn't expect such an unfolding......

Kira listened to Winter's memories as she ate the stockpiled snacks she had brought with her.

"So, for my father to rest in peace, and for future generations not to have to shoulder the same responsibilities again, I want to personally solve the culprit that has dragged the Ehisnius for hundreds of years!"

"I see your determination!" Wiping her hands, Kira said, "But, this is likely to die!" ”

"I'm not afraid!"

Kira laughed, "But I'm afraid!" ”
