As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

"It is said that there was a wandering warrior who was walking through the woods at night and suddenly found that the familiar scenery in front of him began to look strange."

I have to say that Ayaka's voice is really suitable for telling stories, especially in this kind of atmosphere... and the gentle tone of the other party made her listen carefully subconsciously, without feeling noisy or bored.

"Then he stopped and found that he seemed to be in another world, with strange, non-humanoid objects all looking at him..."

The other party deliberately maintained a mysterious tone... and became softer by the last few words.

"...Like these trees in front of you?"

She gestured to the twisted tree trunks in front of her, which really looked like monsters.

"Well...I wanted to deepen the atmosphere during this period, but I didn't realize it was a bit much."

Seeing this, Linghua became a little nervous... and subconsciously leaned closer to her.

"Afraid?"

After she felt the slight touch of the other person's body, she couldn't help asking warmly.

"...Some, but it's okay."

Ayaka frankly admitted that she would not be like this if she were in front of outsiders, but the general is not an outsider, and sometimes exposing one's vulnerability to the one he loves is also a way to deepen the bond.

"If you're afraid, pull me behind you...I'll walk in front."

she suggested.

"Um…"

Ayaka obediently came to the back of her shoulder and gently held her hand. Her white bare hands joined each other, and a sense of security spread throughout her body.

“…///”

Ayaka unfolded the folding fan with her other hand to cover her reddish face, and held the general's hand tightly again. Perhaps this was the purpose of her participation in this event today?

Although this forest looks a little dim from the outside, once you enter, you can feel the moonlight and see the road ahead clearly, not to mention the fluorescent grass and fireflies around it. beautiful.

The two of them were walking along the forest path one behind the other...

"Master General..."

Linghua, who was holding her hand behind her, called her gently at this moment.

"Ok?"

She turned her head and looked at the girl walking behind her.

"There seems to be movement ahead...there..."

Ayaka pointed carefully at the grass in front of her... I don't know if it was an illusion, but she felt the branches and leaves moving.

That is the only way for them to pass, so they will definitely pass by... I wanted to push away the grass, but the next second——

Snapped! ×N

Suddenly there was a dazzling light and a few sudden sounds of firecrackers.

"——! It's so dazzling..."

Ayaka may have been frightened by this, her body trembled, and she subconsciously put her face on her shoulder and exclaimed...

After the sound and light completely dissipated, the two of them saw the debris on the ground clearly.

"Are these...fireworks?"

Ayaka knelt down and picked up a piece of fireworks confetti.

"It should be some kind of trap..."

She also picked up a piece and looked at it.

"call…"

Ayaka was slightly relieved.

"Need to slow down?"

She knelt down and looked at the girl beside her, and asked softly.

"It's okay...if you stop moving forward at this time, you may be chased by others."

Ayaka shook her head and said she didn't need it.

"Um…"

The other party stood up again and pulled her forward, and soon she saw the first treasure box. It was placed near the grass on the edge, with a wooden sign with an X on it.

"Is that it?"

Ayaka saw it with sharp eyes and signaled.

"... Let's go and have a look."

But she didn't think it was really... dumpling milk, after all, it was so easy to find.

The two walked to the box, and she raised her hand to open it. However, there were only a few cabbages and radishes inside. She picked it up and weighed it a few times, and found that they were all real. She could feel the weight as she knew how to cook. Quite big.

"It doesn't seem like this..."

Ayaka sighed.

pat...

After covering it again, he was about to leave when he heard a slight noise somewhere.

"..."×2

The two of them looked at each other and winked in understanding. They slowly moved over and looked behind the cover of the trees, and found that they were two teenagers.

She has an impression of this young man with animal ears... he seems to be a general under Xinhai, and his name seems to be Wulang, and the other one is even more impressive to her.

"Maplehara...?"

Ayaka murmured softly after recognizing it.

The Maplehara family and the Kamisato family used to have a superior-subordinate relationship, so she knew each other.

"Is he here too..."

She spoke somewhat complicatedly.

"...? General, what do you and Feng Yuan have..."

Ayaka saw that the general's tone at this moment seemed to have a story, so she asked curiously.

"...There was some connection. At that time, when the hunting order was about, he and the rebels rushed to the gate of the castle tower to hinder me, and took a knife from me for the traveler."

she recalled,

"... took... a knife?"

Ayaka was taken aback.

"That's right, but it was only for a moment. I could feel that it was already his full strength. After that, he was injured by me, and there was no news after that."

"...I see. No wonder there were such rumors among the people before."

Ayaka understood.

"Rumour? What rumour?"

She is curious.

"Since then, there has been an exaggerated rumor among the people that there is a young man named Maplehara Manyo who withstood your 'Wu Xiang Yi Dao' without even getting hurt.'"

Ayaka said.

However, when she heard it, she felt helpless immediately. Those people would believe such rumors without any definite truth. Is it really just public opinion?

"How is it possible? Moreover, that stabbing was not without thinking. They thought too much."

She rolled her eyes and was speechless. Why did such nonsense come out?Is it true that each person has one opinion?

"Let's go...Ignore them, it's more important to find 'Dumpling Milk'."

After looking at the two teenagers opposite her, she exhaled and turned around to propose to Ayaka.

"Um…"

Ayaka followed her obediently and left. The trees may have moved slightly in the process.

"...?"

Maplehara Manyo was keenly aware of something, and subconsciously turned around to look over and found that there was no one else there.

"Manyo? What's wrong?"

Goro looked at his old friend.

"Someone was looking at us just now."

Wan Ye said in a deep voice.

"Ah? Really? Don't scare me... Phew, are there really ambushes everywhere in this forest? That fox woman really has no good intentions~!"

Wulang's face turned pale, and he immediately became vigilant. Some useful strategies that Lord Coral Palace had told him immediately came to his mind, and he even began to carry the tips he had memorized before.

"No, I don't think they have any plans, they just took a look, but..."

He was very concerned...

The young man held his chin and his eyes became serious. He could feel that the aura was not ordinary.

There is a forked road ahead, with three intersections in total. The arrow on the left leads to the stream along the road, while the arrow in the center leads to the hills, and to the right is the deeper area in the forest.

Choose one of the three, but they must all test it. After all, they don't know where the 'Duango Milk' is. It stands to reason that there should be three boxes, and one of them is correct, but no one can guarantee the unexpected situation. After all, this is Items prepared by Narukami Taisha Shrine.

"Go to the left..."

Seeing that Linghua was also hesitating, she made a direct and decisive proposal.

"it is good…"

Ayaka completely agreed and just listened to the general. She didn't want to refute anything.

In this way, the two of them walked along the stream on the left, holding hands with each other across the narrower river through the downstream area, and entered a place similar to a shrine, except that the shrine leaning against the big stone was not a standard one. The style is similar to that made of stone, chubby, and he also wears a straw raincoat and a straw hat. It seems like nothing, but in fact it is very obvious in this area, and there is even a decent candle next to it.
