"Hey, I'm a little embarrassed to say that..." Pamon scratched his cheek shyly.

When the topic reached this point, the two of them stopped talking. The atmosphere was not silent, but very quiet, but their eyes couldn't help but turn to the spirit lying between them.

Under the silver gauze woven for him by the stars and moon shadows, the boy turned sideways and curled up slightly. His long silky hair spread behind him and shone beautifully. His eyelashes, which were as beautiful as his hair color, were long and dense, like a long Just looking at the green grass by the river makes you feel relaxed.

It seems that because he didn't sleep well, even though the clothes on his body were so big for his small body, he still exposed his white belly and slender waist.

"I really want to hug him..." Paimon suddenly said.

Ying glanced at her dumbfounded, and was about to say something. Suddenly, there was a noise in the bushes not far away. Ying instantly stood up, looking there with a long sword in her hand.

After a while, a squirrel emerged from inside.

"Huh... I was scared to death. I thought it was the samurai from the shogunate army coming..." Paimon, who had just floated in front of the sleeping spirit and blocked him behind him, breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying's shoulders also relaxed, but before she could put away her sword, a slightly charming and familiar voice rang out from behind her: "Yeah, it's a good thing you're not a samurai from the shogunate army, otherwise I would be very It’s embarrassing~”

"!!!"

Chapter 18 Sold?

Ying and Paimon turned around almost at the same time, and saw a cherry-colored figure appearing beside Ling at some point. She leaned over and scooped up Ling, and Ling fell into her arms.

"Ah! It's the palace minister from Narukami Taisha Shrine!" Paimon exclaimed.

Yae Shenzi smiled slightly, disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he had distanced himself from the two of them.

"Give me your spirit back!" Ying assumed an offensive stance, and the elemental power of wind and thunder began to surge around her body. Her pretty face was full of anger and vigilance.

"That's right! Return the spirit to us quickly!" Paimon clenched his two small fists and glared at Yae Shenzi, and then echoed.

"Oh, little guy, don't be so eager to get angry~" Shenzi smiled, then pointed at Ling who was still sleeping in his arms, and said with a smile: "I am on the same side as him, so I won't hurt him~"

"Give me back your spirit!" Ying narrowed her eyes and repeated, holding the sword hilt tightly in her hand, as if she would rush out in the next second.

"Oh my god, even though I know that your relationship may be a little deeper than I thought, you are still so stubborn~" Shenzi sighed, and then said: "But unfortunately, I can't let you lead him to resist. Army camp——"

"Desolate Star!" Ying shouted loudly, and a meteorite-like stone pier appeared out of thin air and hit the Son of God's back.

However, Shenzi's figure flashed again, easily dodging Huang Xing's attack, and appeared behind Ying. She put a hand on Ying's shoulder, her smile still bright: "I told you not to be so angry~"

"Wow! So fast!" Paimon exclaimed.

"!" Ying was also startled and immediately jumped away.

But before she could take action again, Shenzi's words made her freeze in place.

"Didn't you notice? There was such a big movement, but this little thing showed no sign of waking up?"

Ying was stunned for a moment, then reason returned, yes, there was obviously a lot of movement, why didn't Ling show any intention of waking up?Also before, I tried to wake him up without success. I originally thought it was because he was too sleepy, but now when he heard what he said, it seemed... something was really abnormal?

"Huh? Isn't it because I was too tired that I fell into a very deep sleep?" Paimon, who was floating aside, asked in surprise.

"Haha." Shenzi smiled slightly, raised his left hand and pulled down the loose clothes on Ling's upper body.

Paimon and Ying immediately widened their eyes. As far as they could see, three ferocious rivets were engulfed in the heart, lower abdomen and right arm of the spirit. Such a scene on such a flawless and delicate body was absolutely worthy of praise. The above is shocking!

"That... what is that?" Paimon's voice trembled slightly: "It feels... so weird, a feeling similar to that filthy reversed statue..."

"What's going on? Who did that?!" Ying gritted his teeth, anger almost overflowing from his eyes.

"This has nothing to do with me." Shenzi said slowly: "And if you know him, you should know something about his death 500 years ago, right?"

"...Could it be..."

"Yes, that's true. He did die once."

"Do you want to say that the current spirit is him after resurrection? That's why he lost his memory?" Ying asked with a frown.

"Almost, but when it comes to resurrection... haha, at most it can be regarded as forcibly nailing the soul to the body, and then relying on some secret method to regain temporary vitality."

"Nail the soul into the body? Those nails..."

"Yes, it is these nails that are used to nail his soul. However, these nails not only nailed his soul and vitality, they also sealed his strength and memory."

"Then...then if the nails are removed..." Ying's expression was dull.

Shenzi's smile suddenly turned playful: "Haha, you are quite smart, little guy. That's right. Every time a nail is pulled out, one-seventh of the strength and memory will be restored, and similarly, one-seventh will be restored." His soul escaped from his body. Put it this way, you can understand why I said that your relationship is deeper than I thought, right? He still gave up one-seventh of his life to save you even though he didn’t remember you at all. You~"

"...How...why is this..." Paimon looked sad and looked at Ying who was completely stunned, not knowing how to comfort him.

"So... the spirit has become smaller, behaves hollowly and dullly as if it has no soul, and is now lethargic. Is this all because the soul has really escaped?" Ying murmured in a daze.

"Hmm~ At least half of it is because of this." Shenzi said with a meaningful smile.

The sword in her hand fell to the ground at some point. Ying lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. After a moment, she suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Yae Shenzi: "You can save him, right?"

"Haha, I don't have the ability to bring back the soul that has disappeared, but at least it will be no problem for him to wake up~" Shenzi said with a smile.

"..." Ying's petite fists clenched and unclenched several times. After a long time, her voice said firmly: "I will pick him up!"

"Well~ a wise choice, then, see you soon, little one~" Shenzi smiled charmingly, and his figure completely disappeared from the sight of Ying and Paimon.

"Ying..." Paimon stretched out his hand to Ying.

"... Huh... I'm fine." Ying picked up the edgeless sword from the grass, looked up at the night sky, and then said: "Let's keep going, Paimon."

Paimon was stunned for a moment, then immediately made an encouraging gesture: "Well! Let's go! We can definitely overturn the Eye Hunting Order! We will definitely return to Narukami Island to bring the spirit back!"

......

Ling opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

He blinked in confusion, still a little confused when he sat up.

"Are you awake? Little one, is your sister's bed still comfortable?" A charming voice came from the side.

Lingxun looked around and saw a beautiful pink-haired woman looking at him with a weird smile on her face.

Subconsciously looking around, he didn't see any familiar people or things. He didn't understand why he would appear in a completely unfamiliar place every time he opened his eyes.

"Are you looking for that blond traveler?" Shenzi asked with a smile.

Ling blinked and nodded blankly, admitting that although they had only been together for a short period of time, he would indeed feel a sense of security when he was by that person's side...

"Humph, she has already sold you fifty molars per catty to me."

The son of God smiled with his eyebrows creasing.

When Ling heard this, he turned his head blankly, his voice and eyes were equally blank: "Sold... off..."

"Yes, oh, it's so pitiful. You were sold to others at a young age... But my sister takes pity on you and gives you a chance to regain your freedom~"

Ling was still immersed in the words of the Son of God just now and did not react. He just followed the words of the Son of God blankly and asked, "Opportunity... chance?"

"Humph, of course I'm going to use money to redeem myself. Do you have money?"

Ling shook his head.

"Do you have any valuable treasures?"

Ling shook his head again.

"Then do you have any special money-making skills?"

Ling still shook his head.

"Oh, it's a bit difficult to do it when you don't have anything~" Shenzi said as if he was very distressed, paused, and then seemed to suddenly think of something: "Yes~ It just so happens that my sister is the palace minister of the shrine, in charge of the affairs of the shrine. , how about you work as a miko in a shrine?"

"Wiz... female..." Ling murmured blankly, then shook his head mechanically.

"I know, you want to say that you are a boy, right? It doesn't matter, you look like this, put on the witch costume, even if you tell the guests that you are a boy, others won't believe it~" Shenzi smiled kindly. : "Think about it? Work at a shrine to make money to redeem yourself, or serve me tea and water and be a servant for the rest of your life?"

......

"Oh my! This is really..."

Yae Shenzi looked at the spirit in front of him who had put on the red and white miko uniform with his "help". He covered his mouth slightly, with an abnormal blush on his face, and the smile in his eyes almost turned into substance: "It's very suitable. !”

The wide white sleeves hang down on both sides, and the waist is tied up with a red belt, which makes it look particularly slender. Shenzi has tied her long silver hair into several thin braids on both sides, and more long hair hangs down on the back of her head. With her hair tied at the end, Ling stood there blankly, staring blankly at the sky outside the shrine.

Shenzi knelt down in front of him and rubbed his hair with a smile: "Oh, it's so cute."

There was no response from the spirit.

"Haha~ Anyway, the work clothes are in place, so let's talk about your work~ Let me think about it..." Shenzi nodded his chin, then smiled and said: "Your job in the future is to follow me every step of the way. , when I am thirsty, you must bring tea immediately, when I go out, you must wait on me, when I take a shower, you must prepare hot water in advance, when I rest, you must read light novels next to me..."

The Son of God spoke more and more, but the Spirit remained silent.

"Finally - remember to call me Sister Shenzi from now on~ Do you understand?" Shenzi asked with a smile.

The spirit did not respond.

Shenzi smiled and didn't care. Finally, he pinched Ling's cheek before getting up and walking out of the house: "Okay, you have to work from now on. Follow me."

The spirit obeyed obediently.

......

——"Oh! The fried tofu here tastes really good. Come on, little one, open your mouth, ah——"

——"Yeah~ I'm a little full. Come over here, little one. You can help me eat the rest."

——"Little one~ The bath water is a little cold, come here and add some hot water."

——"Is your throat uncomfortable? Are you reading so quietly?"

——"Oh, why are you blushing just after you wipe your sister's back? Are you shy?"

——"Aren't you told to call me Sister Shenzi from now on? Why have you never called me that once? Come on, little thing, call me now and listen. If you call me, I will give you a day off~"

——"I'm so sleepy, let me hold my sister for a nap~"

——"Well, my hair is a little messy. Little one, come over and help me comb it."

……

Everything comes from the instructions of the Son of God, and the spirit is like an artificial intelligence that receives the instructions. Although it does things in a dull manner, it is very obedient.

——"Little one, clean the inside and outside of the shrine."

——"Little one, go down the mountain and pack a portion of fried tofu for me. By the way, bring some fried skewers."
