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

"This place...seems...very evil."

Ayaka was not good at this kind of thing, so she stuck behind her cutely and spoke muffledly.

"Well, it does."

Although she didn't feel any demonic aura, she still cooperated with the other party and answered in a low voice.

"Eh? Really, really? I-I was just saying it casually, but I didn't expect it to be... effective."

When Linghua saw her saying the same thing, she felt even more guilty. She squeezed her hand even more tightly and shrank back.

"Of course not, I lied to you."

She suppressed a smile and turned back to the girl to clarify mischievously.

"Um...Sir General, please, please don't tease me, Ayaka...it's too much to bear///"

Ayaka blushed slightly, lowered her eyes with a soft tone and raised her hand to gently poke her waist. Fortunately, this was in front of the general. If outsiders saw this scene, it would really shame the family. .

"...You have teased me so many times before, and now I can just repay you once, and now you are even more reasonable, phew~!"

She was not angry but turned her head away pretending to be dissatisfied, like a little girlfriend who was having an quarrel.

"Although it is inappropriate to say this, please General, please find another way to retaliate against me. Apart from this...anything will do. Of course, that kind of thing is also possible. Ayaka has no objection///"

Ayaka deliberately brought up a strange topic, and she even blushed, and her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a sound of shame. Of course, the protagonist was even more serious.

"...///Say, what are you talking about... As a white egret princess, how can you say such filthy words? You are not good."

Her face was even redder than Linghua's, and she immediately blushed, bulging her face cutely and complaining softly.

"But...doesn't the General know that too?"

Ayaka asked back while suppressing a smile in her heart.

"You——///, stupid, stupid question, this, this person doesn't understand everything, uh... that's all, I can't say you..."

She looked away speechlessly.

puff~

Sure enough, this kind of topic is the weakness of her general. As long as he pokes it, he will be particularly cute and pure... At this moment, the other party's pretty rosy face is the proof. The already beautiful face is matched with the shy rosiness. Even more exciting, this is the most certain conclusion she has come to after knowing each other for so many years.

"I~hate~so~!"

At this time, a groan of resentment came from nowhere, but to the general's ears, this guy's tone was completely unreflective, without any sense of presence at all, and even the pretended tone was a bit funny.

"Ah...he, who--"

But Ayaka was different. The girl who was a little troublesome to her immediately became smart, took her arm, and put her face against her body. Her ice-colored beauty now had a little extra look. Fear, of course, this kind of fear does not allow him to activate elemental power. After all, this is just a game activity, but he knows it is fake, but he is still afraid.

"General, did you hear something?"

Ayaka asked softly.

"Shh~"

She made a gesture of silence, and Linghua nodded silently.

"I hate it so much - I want to drag people passing by to stay with me -"

The funny voice came out again, and this time they actually heard it clearly.

"Could it be...the resentful spirit still lingering...here?"

Ayaka's voice trembled, and she felt helpless for a moment. It was the first time that she saw a girl who had taken the initiative in front of her show such a pitiful look. She had never seen such a pitiful look even when Hana Dai died when she was a child.

But she wouldn't take advantage of this moment to add fuel to the fire again. She was not that kind of person. On the contrary, she felt a little distressed.

"Huh...wait a moment, I'll go over and take a look."

She patted the back of Linghua's hand and comforted her warmly.

"Don't... please don't... stay too far away from me..."

Ayaka immediately grabbed her furisode and said pitifully.

"Don't worry, I'll be over there, less than three meters away, how about that?"

She discussed patiently, but after all, she couldn't let the other party face him.

"Well...be careful on the road."

Ayaka also went out of her way to take care of her.

"Um…"

She left the other party and wanted to let go of the other party's hand, but maybe it was the other party's subconscious action. At the moment when the two palms separated, the girl reluctantly hooked her thumb with her index finger, and when she recovered, she let go awkwardly.

She smiled reassuringly at the girl and walked directly towards the source of the sound. However, she thought about it and did not approach from the front. Instead, she took a detour and appeared from the other side of the shrine. What caught her eyes was that she was completely unaware of it. The young man was squatting in the grass covered with grass blades and "hunting" comically.

"..."

She narrowed her eyes speechlessly, and then smiled inwardly.

"I hate it so much~ I hate it so much... I want to make you all——"

at this time--

Who knew that a hand gently touched his shoulder,

"Don't move around."

And suddenly there was a deliberately low voice of 'Thunder and Lightning General State'.

"Ahhh-!!!"

This time, the other party immediately screamed in embarrassment, but fortunately, he was more dedicated and immediately covered his mouth at that moment, and slowly turned around to see the purple-haired woman.

"What happened? Why, why is there a cry?!"

Ayaka in the distance asked worriedly

"nothing…"

She stood up to comfort him...

"(Is that Miss Kamisato?!)"

When the young man heard Linghua's iconic voice, his face immediately turned pale and he asked her in a low voice with some fear.

"It's her, what's the matter?"

She was puzzled.

"Hush! Please, please don't make a sound, otherwise Miss Kamisato will find out that I am incompetent and my salary may be deducted."

The young man quickly made a gesture of silence.

"incompetent?"

"Yes, of course the ghost whose true identity was discovered is incompetent. Alas... please don't tell Miss Kamisato, please~!"

the young man begged.

Moreover, what should I do if I scare Miss Kamisato into a bad mood and fire her directly in front of her?It’s a must!

"Huh... OK, I understand, but next time I'll find a more private location."

After she understood, she turned around and left, returning to Linghua as if she hadn't seen anything.

Even so, even if Ayaka knew it, she wouldn't do it. After all, if the girl really had that kind of character, she wouldn't be Kamisato Ayaka.

"How is it? General, did you see anything?"

Ayaka asked with concern.

"Huh...no clues, maybe he ran away."

She shook her head and told a little lie.

"But...um...well..."

Ayaka wanted to ask about the scream just now, but after thinking about it, she didn't want to go any further. After all, she didn't want to ask for a fright.

Chapter of Akitsu ~ Time passes easily, life is like dew: Chapter 23 Dango Milk that heals everything

Click!

The two opened the second box, and what they saw were still the piles of vegetables, such as cabbage, potatoes and even tomatoes. They had nothing to do with the so-called dango milk, which meant that they had found the wrong one again.

"Still not found...it seems like you are not lucky..."

Ayaka murmured.

"It doesn't matter, just keep looking for it."

She didn't pay attention to this. There were no signs of being opened on these boxes, which meant that other groups did not search this area and they still had a chance.

"Yeah, that's right... let's go back to the other side of the road, General."

Ayaka suggested.

Returning to the original fork in the road, this time they were going to the opposite route. Different from the road near the stream, this time it was the road up the mountain. There was a fox statue on the right, and behind it were stone steps on both sides. Signs pointing the way.

She has already chosen two out of the three. If there is no result this time, it will really be like Ayaka said, 'bad luck', but it shouldn't be that exaggerated. Her intuition tells her that this time it must be the right path!

The two of them walked up the stone steps to the upper hill of the Guarded Forest...but when they stood still and didn't wait to look around——

puff! ! !

A burst of thick smoke suddenly erupted in front of their eyes, obscuring their sight and making them unable to see their surroundings clearly.

"...What, can't see clearly, seems like something is moving?"

Seeing this, Ayaka was no longer as panicked as before. Maybe she was used to it, but she still subconsciously hid behind her.

"...?"

moving?

She narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and then looked at a shadow in the smoke. It looked like the outline of some four-legged creature. It was very bloated. During this period, it was swaying magically from side to side in the silhouette of the smoke -

Moo~!

There was even a funny cow cry during the process.

What is this?
