I, the young onmyoji

However, Chang Ran's routine cannot be used on all Onmyojis. After all, other Onmyojis will not dual-wield melee archers like him.

So, Chang Ran, who was looking for fireflies, came to a hillside facing the wind.

This is the windward side and is relatively flat, so the hillside is covered with all kinds of wild grasses and flowers.

"This place should be able to be found."

There are no signs of human walking in the entire range, because if humans often pass by here, they will form habitual roads, and the flowers and plants on the roads will be trampled to death and exposed on the ground. There are no traces here, but there are some other footprints here. , obviously not human, then it can only be from animals or monsters.

However, because he was a human and fully armed, he considered that showing up like this might scare the other party, so Changran walked to the woods not far from the hillside, jumped onto the tree, and used the cover of the leaves to observe. situation in this area.

Taking this opportunity, Changran can also conduct another experiment.

That is to use spiritual power to bless your eyes, just like how you used spiritual power to bless your body that night to greatly improve your physical abilities.

His eyes glowed with light blue due to the blessing of spiritual power, but it also allowed Changran's eyes to see more carefully, and he could see the insects crawling on the grass below very clearly.

"It seems like it can really be used like this."

While happy, Changran began to wait.

The appearance of monsters is random. You may wait for a day and still not find a monster, or you may wait for a while and a bunch of monsters will appear. Because this is the wild, the monsters basically have no fixed space for activities. Wander around.

Changran was not sure that he would be able to meet the firefly he was looking for here.

Staring at the grassy area below, I kept waiting like this, and then waited until night...

"I think I forgot to bring some rice balls... I didn't expect to have to wait so long..."

Holding his stomach, Changran frowned and smiled bitterly.

"What a miscalculation, but I don't want to go back just like this..."

People always have a mentality that the next one might win!Then he kept pumping again and again, unable to stop. Changran was in this state now, thinking that his first shikigami might appear here, so he wanted to keep waiting, even if he was hungry now. Even if he screamed, he didn't want to go back, what if he met him!

In the morning, I didn't eat anything in order to prepare for the Yuanfu ceremony. Afterwards, I didn't want to entertain the guests during the banquet at noon, so I ran out with Masahiro. In the afternoon, I went to Minamoto no Yorimitsu and got two famous swords, and then I came here and squatted. It's been dark...I haven't eaten all day, which is really uncomfortable.

He changed his position from squatting on the tree trunk to leaning on the tree trunk to make himself more comfortable. Then he kept rubbing his belly with his hands, hoping to alleviate some of his hunger.

"I was a little hungry at noon, but the excitement of getting two knives dissipated the hunger. Now it's back again, and it's more serious. It's troublesome."

Look at the dark grass and woods below, and then look at Heian Kyoto in the distance where the lights have just fallen.

Changran couldn't help but wanted to go back for dinner.

But at this moment, there was movement on the grass below.

Foreign monsters: 8. A little firefly gets it!

"What? I thought a monster appeared."

The movement on the grass below made Changran surprised at first, and then very disappointed.

Because the noise was not caused by any monster, but by a group of wild boars. To be precise, it was a big wild boar leading a group of small wild boars. This was a sow bringing her cubs out to find something to eat.

Chang Ran, who was very disappointed by this, let out a long sigh. It was so disappointing that the news that finally came was just like this.

But it just so happened that I was hungry too. I hadn’t eaten wild boar meat in such a long time.

He took out an arrow from his back, put it on the bow, and drew the long bow to aim at the big wild boar.

"As long as we kill the big ones, the small ones probably don't know how to run away, so we can take care of them all at once."

But when he was about to shoot out, Changran hesitated again.

"Forget it, let's shoot the small ones. The wild boar is a bit big, and if there are so many small ones, even if we eat them in one pot, we won't be able to take them back."

The arrow was aimed at the little wild boar at the very back.

But it happened unexpectedly.

A huge gray wolf rushed out of the woods, pounced on Chang Ran's surprised eyes, and bit the little wild boar at the back to death.

"I go!"

Changran screamed in surprise at this, while the wild boar mother ran away frantically with the other little wild boars, and disappeared into the nearby woods in the blink of an eye.

The gray wolf was left there and began to eat the killed wild boar.

Changran loosened his bowstring and held his forehead speechlessly.

"This wolf...well, it's a Japanese wolf. I know this, but why does it appear at this time? Really, making such a big noise all at once is scarier than me."

But even if the gray wolf didn't appear, if Chang Ran shot the little wild boar, the wild boar mother would be frightened and run away immediately, so there would be no difference.

"This gave me the impression that this was a novice monster. Unfortunately, it didn't have any demonic energy. I was also thinking that this wolf might be a wind-attributed wolf monster, but it turned out not to be..."

Judging from his memory, this scene is really like the scenes he knows about novice monsters in time travel.

"No matter what, we've already made such a big noise anyway, let's attack this wolf."

He drew the bowstring again, but this time he aimed at the gray wolf.

But the accident happened again.

The gray wolf suddenly stopped eating and stared at the grass to the right of his body.

Changran looked to the right with some doubts, and found that there was nothing on the grass, and there was no evil spirit. Looking further away, there seemed to be nothing in the woods.

So what is this wolf looking at?

"Hey!"

"Go away!"

"Ding!"

"Go away!"

"Ding!"

Changran heard the voices of some people talking in his ears. The voices were very small, not loud at all, and they seemed very far away.

But by identifying the direction, Changran discovered that the sound did not come from a far away place, but rather came from the grass a few meters to the right of the gray wolf.

"Oh?"

Changran was a little surprised, because after receiving the blessing of spiritual power, he could see clearly who made the sound.

It was a black-haired little girl wearing green clothes. The little girl grabbed a dandelion in her hand and was waving the dandelion very nervously, throwing the seeds from it and hitting the gray wolf in the face.

That "ding! ding!" sound was the sound she made when the seeds she threw hit the gray wolf's face.

But why didn't Changran see her just now? That's because...she was too young!

How big is a dandelion?So how big can a person be who can hold onto a dandelion that is bigger than her body, or even make the dandelion fly with the person when the wind blows?

That's right, this little girl is not as big as one of Changran's hands!

At this time, she was standing in the grass, waving dandelions to attack, while retreating nervously and fearfully.

The gray wolf, after being "stung" by her a few times, was approaching her angrily.

Changran almost laughed out loud when he saw this.

"It really took no effort to get it. I originally thought I couldn't find the fireweed, but I didn't expect to find it under such circumstances. No wonder I haven't seen it. It turns out it's only so small, and it's so different from what I remembered. "I thought it was as big as a human being. It's so big and hidden in the grass. If there was no sound, I wouldn't be able to find it."

That's right, this little girl, who is not a little bigger and is the same size as a figure, is the monster Changran is looking for - Yingcao.

Changran can probably figure out what is going on.

This firefly should be a monster living in the grass. You can guess it by looking at the dandelion in her hand. Therefore, Changran never found it during the day because the disguise was too good and the monster aura was almost gone. .She had always lived peacefully here, and then the wild boar came and had no effect on her. But when the gray wolf came, it scared her, so she planned to sneak away, but the gray wolf discovered it, so she attacked in panic. Just step back, it's really unlucky.

After throwing several seeds at Gray Wolf's face and saying "Ding!" to no avail, Yingcao seemed to have given up on attacking, and instead chose to turn around and run away!

The gray wolf immediately started to move and pursue him. Because there was only a few meters away, the gray wolf only took one or two steps to catch up.

He opened his big mouth, which was stained with blood from killing the little wild boar, and bit directly at the firefly.

Yingcao was so frightened that she closed her eyes, squatted down, held her head, and shouted.

"Yah!!"

Indole——

The sound of an arrow piercing the skull and nailing it to the ground was heard.

After holding her head and squatting on guard for a long time, Yingcao found that nothing happened. She opened her eyes and raised her head, and found that the 'giant wolf' was lying in front of her with its big mouth open, and there was still a plug in its head. A piece of wood.

"Hey?"

Yingcao's expression changed to 0.0, and she looked at the scene in front of her in confusion.

"Don't be confused, I killed this guy."

Changran appeared behind Yingcao at the right time and looked down at Yingcao.

Yingcao turned around and looked up with the help of the moonlight to see a grinning, sinisterly smiling human being who was fully armed.

Then...

"Hey! Help!!!"

He let out a more pitiful cry than before.

A little firefly gets!

Foreign monsters: 9. Intimidation and no inducement

My name is Yingcao, I am a little monster, yes, a very small one. I have always lived in the wilderness where I was born, and I live in peace with everything. The same is true for the animals in the forest. Whether it’s mice, wild boars or deer, especially the wild boar mother and baby wild boar, they often come to play with me.

But recently a big bad wolf appeared here. It seemed to have come from the north. It started killing animals in the woods. It scared everyone so much that they didn't dare to come out during the day. They could only wait until the gray wolf might go to bed at night before they dared to come out. Find something to eat.

But today, the gray wolf actually came out at night and killed the baby wild boar, right where I live.

I was frightened and wanted to escape secretly, but it was discovered by it. Just when it was about to bite me to death, it was killed by a human.

That human was so scary. After killing the gray wolf, he also captured me and brought me here...

"What the hell is this place!"

Yingcao shouted as she grasped the huge wooden fence that closed her.

"Help! Is there anyone...no, is there an animal?"

"Is Uncle Eagle there? Is Mother Wild Boar there? Is Brother Squirrel there? Everyone is fine, please help me!"

He called out to his former neighbors, but unfortunately, no one responded to him.

"What the hell is this place..."

Yingcao is currently in Chang Hao's room. There is a small cage specially customized for her. It is actually a birdcage. Because Yingcao is too small, Changran simply catches her and stuffs her inside. In my own birdcage, the fireweed was too weak to break the stick, so I could only grab a stick beside the cage and yell like this.

"What should I do? I've been caught by humans. Are I going to be eaten like the wild boar mother said?"

After no one responded, Yingcao began to imagine some horrible things. She didn't understand humans. The information she learned about humans from her animal friends was that they must not be caught. If they are caught, they will be eaten (animal perspective) ).

And she herself is now captured by humans and locked in a cage.

"No, I'm still young, and the world is so big. I still want to ride the wind and go out for a walk. I don't want to be eaten."

Just as he was shouting, the door to the room was pushed open.

"Oh? Where is it? Let me take a look."

A small white animal walked in. It was a snake, but in this form it should be said that it was a monster.

"I put it on the table."

Following in was Chang Ran, who had returned from catching fireflies.

"However, Changran, you really caught me. It's really surprising."

Behind Chang Ran is Chang Hao, who looks exactly like him.

The three of them entered the house one after another and appeared in front of Yingcao.

"It's over, humans are here, come to eat me! And there are two of them!"

Seeing the two people who were arresting her, Yingcao was so frightened that she found a corner in the cage and squatted with her head in her arms, as if she wanted to reduce her sense of existence, but the dandelion she was holding exposed her.

"Is this the little guy?"

While Yingcao was hiding, the little monster had already arrived at the edge of the cage and was looking curiously at the little guy who was crouching in defense with his head in his hands.
