I don't want to be a heroic spirit

“…”

Gui Yifayan blinked blankly, tilting his head for a long while.

“Well, have we been fooled? We are a big monster, but we are fooled by a little guy like you? We will beat your little drum!”

“Ah!”

Qianhua turned her head and wanted to run, but before she took the first step, Gui Yifayan grabbed the back of her neck.

“Are you still naughty? Are you still not obedient?”

“Qianhua is not disobedient, Qianhua is very obedient.”

Even though she was caught by Gui Yifayan, Qianhua was still confident, “Didn’t you say it just now, sister? No matter what I call you, you won’t care, so even if I call you Angel Sister, it shouldn’t matter.”

“…I think I did say that just now.”

Gui Yifayan held Qianhua in one hand and touched his chin with the other hand, thinking for a moment.

"Well... since it's not me who said it, there's nothing we can do. Okay, I'll let you go."

As she said that, she put Qianhua down.

Being fooled by a child who is much younger than herself, most people might feel ashamed and angry, but Guiyi Fayan is different.

As long as it makes her feel interesting and adds some fun to her long life, she will laugh it off even if she loses face a little.

Being found a loophole in the language by a child who is much younger than herself and being counterattacked, what a fun thing! Hahaha!

"But, is this okay? Take us home." Unlike the carefree Gui Yifayan, Sha Luo felt a little uncomfortable, "Don't you need your family's consent? After all, this is the first time we meet, right?"

"Well? It's okay, it's okay." Qianhua shook her head, "Aren't we friends? If I bring friends to play at home, my parents will be very happy."

"... When did we become friends?"

"Well? What a strange question, didn't we call each other by name?" Qianhua tilted her head and looked at Sha Luo in confusion, "Since we have called each other by name, aren't we very good friends?"

Friends...Friends?

Sha Luo's golden eyes were filled with ripples.

She stared at Qianhua's brilliant smile and opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

Although they walked on two legs instead of flying with wings, the village was not far away, so the three people who walked together soon arrived at the village.

"Hey~~~~, Qianhua, your father is the village chief of this village?"

"Yeah! That's right! So, Qianhua, I know everyone in the village." Qianhua proudly put her hands on her waist, and then looked at Sha Luo and Gui Yi Fa Yan in confusion, "But, I have never seen Sister Sha Luo and Sister Tianshi. Could it be that the two sisters came from the 'outside'?"

When Sha Luo heard the word "outside", his eyes moved.

"Qianhua, what about you? Are you from the outside too? And your parents, and everyone in the village..."

Sha Luo has been wondering why there are people in this sealed space? And it seems that a village of considerable size has been formed.

Then, under Sha Luo's particularly concerned gaze, Qianhua nodded gently.

"That's right, everyone in the village came from the 'outside'... But..." Qianhua pouted and frowned, "But... That was a long time ago, Qianhua no longer remembers the things 'outside'... Hey! Sister Sha Luo, Angel Sister, can you tell Qianhua about the things 'outside'? Qianhua is really~~ curious!"

"Of course."

Sha Luo agreed without thinking, after all, telling stories is not a big deal... Then she remembered that she had been living in the forest since she could remember, and she only had a vague understanding of the outside world, which seemed to be not much different from Qianhua?

But a promise made is like water spilled, so Sha Luo subconsciously cast a look of help to the ghost Yi Fa Yan beside him.

Although her master said that he always stayed in the deep mountains and forests and didn't often contact people, he must have had a few experiences of going out of the mountains in the past thousand years, right? It's better than her, right?

Before, when she was picked up by Oniichi Hōgen and flew in the sky, Sara had seen this village from afar.

It was normal for a village of this size to have hundreds of people, so Sara thought they would meet many villagers before entering the village.

However, Sara didn't see anyone along the way. She was still thinking that maybe they were afraid of the black monsters so they all hid in the village, but when they really walked into the village...

No one.

In such a big village, she didn't even see half a shadow.

The silence was a little scary.

"Chika... Where are the people in the village?"

On the way here, Chika told Oniichi Hōgen and Sara many things about the people in the village.

The old man named Shimono Takahiro seemed to be a samurai loyal to the shogunate when he was young. He always liked to sit on a small chair and tell stories about his youth on the battlefield.

A man and a woman named Serika and Shinbei, almost everyone in the village knew that they liked each other, but neither of them confessed to each other, even though they created various "chance encounters" every day.

Ms. Mami and her husband sell fruit. The fruits they sell are big, sweet and juicy. They also have a teenage son. Their family is very harmonious and happy.

Under Qianhua's narration, Sanluo had a general impression of this village as "harmonious and beautiful".

So when he came to the village and found that there was no one there, Sanluo was even more puzzled.

Was Qianhua deceiving them before? impossible.

That tone and look at that time...if it was a made-up story, he would never show that look.

"Um?"

After hearing this, Qianhua turned around and shook her flaxen braid behind her head.

"Everyone in the village? They've all gone out. What's wrong?"

Chapter 122 Qianhua’s Home

"Everyone is out?"

Where have you gone?

Didn't it mean that it was very dangerous outside the village, with many dangerous monsters wandering around, and that one had to return to the village after dark?

And why are you all out?

Sanluo keenly felt that what Qianhua said was strange, but he didn't know what to say, as if the truth was hidden in a thick fog.

"Qianhua..."

Shan Luo may not have noticed, but her expression gradually became serious.

"'Get out'...what does it mean?"

"Why does Sanluo always ask strange questions?" The doubt in Qianhua's tone did not sound like he was faking it. "'Go out' means 'go out'. Can there be other meanings?"

Something was wrong...very wrong.

Just when Shan Luo opened her mouth to ask something more, a hand suddenly pressed on her head.

"Xiao Qianhua, you said you wanted to take us to your home... By the way, which home is your home?"

"Humph! My father is the mayor of this village, so of course my family is the biggest and most conspicuous."

Qianhua continued to lead the way, while Gui Yifayan and Sanluo followed behind.

This village is not like the city. The so-called "roads" are made by people. There are no built roads.

Of course, Gui Yifayan and Shan Luo are not ordinary people, so this path is not difficult for them.

The false moon and false stars hang in the sky, and the quiet night falls.

The inexplicable atmosphere tortured Sanluo's heart, and the intangible and intangible weirdness made her feel tormented every moment, which made her subconsciously want to seek help from the person she trusted most.

"master……"

"Shh-"

Ghost Yifayan raised an index finger in front of his mouth and smiled slightly.

"Suan Luo, you also noticed something unusual, right? But don't forget the purpose of our coming here." Gui Yifayan reminded in a low voice: "We are just here to clean up the monsters and prevent them from causing trouble to the world after they go out. As for this The anomalies inside actually have nothing to do with us and can be ignored completely. "

"But……"

What to do with Qianhua?

Facing this innocent little girl who suddenly became his friend, Sanluo couldn't let her go.

However, what the master said was...

"Of course, this is just our idea. For you, this is just a reminder that it is you who really decides what choice to make."

Suddenly, there was an extra hand on Shan Luo's head.

"We monsters are extremely willful existences, because only by believing in something can you hold on to yourself under the wear and tear of time... Maybe these words are too early for you, but don't forget - do what you should do, go Do what you want, do what you can."

Shanluo, who was still young, could not understand what Gui Yifayan said, but she kept it firmly in her heart.

"We're here! This is my home."

A house stood there quietly. None of the buildings Gui Yifayan and Shan Luo had seen along the way were as good as the one above.

Under Qianhua's excited invitation, Sanluo walked inside, only to find Gui Yifanyan standing there, feeling confused.

"master?"

"Huh? Oh, it's coming."

This house...or rather, the owner of this house is unusual.

Before entering the village, Gui Yifayan felt the traces of Yin Yang, and now, on the house in front of her, she also felt the same traces of Yin Yang.

The huge onmyoji formation that covers the entire village is probably used for protection, so the bleeding dogs wandering around cannot get close.

Then there is the house in front of you, which seems to be the formation eye guarding the formation?

It's set up very discreetly...

"Wow! What is this?"

Shan Luo's exclamations came from inside the house.

What caused this situation were two things in the house.

The shape is very similar to a human, with a head and limbs, and the size is about the same as a human, but from the side it is only a thin piece, with red patterns written all over the body in white.

After entering the house and seeing these two "paper figures", the ghost was immediately clear to him.

"Okay, okay, this is just a shikigami, don't be so panicked."

Oni Yifayan held down Sanluo's shoulders to prevent her from taking out her bow and arrow to attack the two shikigami.

"Shikigami?"

Shan Luo repeated this novel vocabulary and was very surprised.

"Wow! Sister Angel is so amazing." Qianhua looked at Ghost with eyes twinkling with little stars, "Although my father has told me several times, I can never remember their names, so I always call them Taro and Jiro’s.”

"What a random name."

"No way! I thought about it seriously for three nights!"

Then, Oni Yifayan and Sanluo knew why Qianhua had two paper shikigami in her home.

I saw that the shikigami whom Chika called Taro was very skillful in wiping the table and setting the dishes, while the one Chika called Jiro was busy in the kitchen, and soon came over with three plates of food.

Although Gui Yifanyan frowned when he saw the dishes on the table - they were all vegetarian, not a single meat dish.

However, Sanluo and Qianhua enjoyed their meal very much.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten around the table with other people.”

Chika showed a satisfied and even happy smile, not because the food cooked by Shikigami was so delicious, but because of the addition of two people, Oni Ippogan and Sanra.

Shanluo, who was already full, couldn't hold back and asked directly: "Qianhua, where are your parents?"

"They're all out."

Qianhua answered as if it was a matter of course, and there was no abnormality in her expression.

But this is precisely the biggest anomaly.

"If you went out...where did you go?"

"Where are you going...are you just going out?"

Shan Luo felt very tired.

This world, this village, and Qianhua... It seemed that everything around her was abnormal, but she was unable to get relevant clues from Qianhua through verbal communication.
