The heroines want to talk

"It's too dangerous! Ibaraki Douji is not an ordinary monster. You want me to fight her, especially a violent one. You're putting it too difficult for me." Yakumo Yukari's lazy voice came from the kotatsu.

"But..." Xia Shi looked embarrassed.

This story begins when I just came back.

One night, Xia Shi felt a very strong oppressive force that was unique to big monsters, mixed with a strong and uncomfortable evil spirit, and that evil spirit actually encompassed the entire range of Oeyama.

Later, Xia Shi asked Suika during the day and found out that because Ibaraki Hanasu's right arm was inhabited by a demon, she would occasionally fall into a state of rampage. Every time this happened, she would seal herself in a special dungeon.

"That arm must be cut off in a violent state in order to seal the ghost, and I can't do it. I don't have a sharp weapon and I don't know how to use a sword. At most, I can trap her for a moment." Yakumo Yukari certainly had a way to deal with it, but she was too lazy to do it.

If what Xia Shi wants to do is a small matter that does not involve risk, Yakumo Yukari can help her, but I want her to rush to the front line. Sorry, there is not enough money.

In other words.

Need more money!

"Forget it, I'll think of another way." Xia Shi didn't want to add more money. He recalled the legend of Ibaraki Douji.

The person who cut off Ibaraki Douji's arm seemed to be Watanabe Tsuna, one of Minamoto no Raikou's retainers. The sword in his hand was therefore named Onikiri.

Perhaps we should think of a solution from this perspective.

If all else fails, kidnap the children of a high-ranking official.

Chapter 302 Mission Completed

After autumn, everything becomes lifeless.

A month later.

In the peach forest, except for the peach blossom in the middle, the rest are left with only bare branches. Xia Shi seems to understand what the concept of mono no aware is in the island culture.

…Okay, he didn’t understand.

"Hiss, it's getting colder." This was the only thought in Xia Shi's mind.

It feels like the effect of the breakthrough in his martial arts is completely useless. His martial arts had been enhanced shortly after he entered the dungeon. What a pity, it's still just as cold.

【Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Meditation Method】

[Introduction: According to legend, this technique was created by a supreme being. You can become stronger just by breathing. Note: The effect of practicing while sleeping is tripled.]

[Current number of floors: three (a total of nine floors)]

[Current attribute blessing: Intelligence +4 (↑2) Physical strength +4 (↑2)]

[Currently activated auxiliary spells: Object Control, Breath Control, Cleansing, Wind Calling, Rain Calling, Small Wish, Transfiguration. ]

There is a new spell in the spell column, which can change the body's appearance at will. However, due to lack of proficiency, Xia Shi can only change his face at most, and it is still a bit difficult to change his body. The growth rate of attributes has also increased a lot. In short, the future is promising.

"We have to go check out the fields." Xia Shi, wearing a sweater and scarf, hunched his neck, and went around the peach forest to the farmland behind the mountain. These fields have expanded a little in recent months, all thanks to Suixiang's help. Her ability to change the density of things is very convenient for plowing the fields.

Cows also have two horns, and ghosts also have two horns, no wonder. Xia Shi seemed to have discovered the reason why Suika plowed the land so quickly.

Standing on the ridge of the field, Xia Shi observed the situation in the field.

really not bad.

Even in such a cold day, there are many monsters working hard to create surplus value.

It would be nice for a monster to not be afraid of the cold!

Monsters like Aunt Zi who are afraid of the cold are simply weird.

Curling up in the kotatsu every day, is this something a monster should do?

Thinking of this, Xia Shi clenched his fists.

It's sad, so sad.

How can it be possible for a monster tenant to not think about the landlord and just think about how to slack off every day!

"Hiss~" Xia Shi suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if a cold hand touched him.

He looked around suspiciously, but saw nothing.

……

Inside the wooden house in Taolin.

Eriri is drinking hot tea.

She is almost getting used to the slow life now.

Even the painter's job that had been bothering her was forgotten by her.

What Inushiro Sakiya, what black cat Rin, they have nothing to do with me anymore!

Summer comic? What is that?

It's autumn now~

"Xiao San~ bring me something to eat~" Ying Lili commanded the umbrella monster who was scaring Xiao Ming.

It turns out that the big stupid guy's secretary is not as capable as himself.

"I'll be right there!" Xiaosan looked at Xiaoming, who was trembling with fear, with a look of joy on her face.

She had lived for so long and had never frightened anyone. This was shameful for a monster!

It was not until the day she met Xia Shi that Xiao San encountered the first guy whom even she could bully.

On the side, Yakumo Yukari hid in the kotatsu with a faint smile on her lips.

My hands are still quite cold. The landlord should know his own power.

Judging from his expression just now, he must be making up stories about himself in his mind again.

"The kotatsu is so comfortable~" Yakumo Yukari yawned.

Pity.

This kind of life will no longer exist in a while.

I heard that the Onmyoji in Heian-kyo seems to be preparing to find a reason to come to Oeyama to fight against monsters.

I can't tolerate such a big threat next to my bed.

Besides, these two leaders had robbed the homes of the powerful and wealthy many times before. This time, it can only be said that every wrong has its perpetrator. Even if they have restrained themselves a lot recently, those Onmyoji will not think that Oeyama has given up his covetousness for Heian-kyo.

It is better to strike first. If it were Yakumo Yukari, she would feel that she would do the same thing if she encountered a threat.

Nip the threat in the bud.

"It's time to move in spring~" Yakumo Yukari murmured softly.

Eriri heard her and chit-chatted, "Sister Zi, will the Tengu of Youkai Mountain agree to so many people living there?"

Yakumo Yukari looked at her strangely. Normally, Eriri rarely talked to her.

She only shows a jealous expression when Xia Shi and I are close, and then takes advantage of her status to show off her affection to me.

"If they don't agree, then use force to make them agree. Two big monsters are stronger than one big monster. The leader of the Tengu can't fight two opponents of the same strength at the same time." And I will help when the time comes. Yakumo Yukari didn't say this.

As for why the retreat site was chosen to be at Yokai Mountain, one reason was that it was far away from Heian-kyo, and the other was that there was a passage connecting to hell which could be used as a retreat route for the next time.

By the way, the news that Onmyoji would come to exterminate the enemy in the spring was not something that Yakumo Yukari heard from her... no, she heard it from someone else. Instead, it was something that Natsumi got when he chatted with an Onmyoji who came to the store to buy wine when he went to Heian-kyō to deliver goods last time.

As for who that person is...

Well, one called Qingming.

……

"Is this completed?" Xia Shi looked at the first round of tasks shown as completed in the task bar.

[You have completed the first step in establishing the Monster Kingdom. ]

[Already joined: 69 ghosts, 368 tengu, 2 big monsters, 5 monster kings]

My goodness, the Tengu have not even met the demon clan, but they have been automatically classified as members?

They are so hospitable! Xia Shi touched his chin.

He suddenly remembered the Tengu he encountered in the second copy.

The name seems to be Reimu Maru Bun, and I don’t know if that copy is related to this world.

Probably not.

Otherwise, Xia Shi would feel embarrassed to send a bunch of ghosts to occupy the Tengu tribe’s hometown.

There are no other monster species from Oeyama among the members who have joined. Maybe there are too few of them? So they are not counted?

As for Yakumo Yukari, well, she doesn't seem like someone who could be easily lured into a chariot.

If possible, Xia Shi actually wanted to go find Suwako, but unfortunately it was too late.

[Host please note, the maximum remaining stay time is: 6 months]

This is a prompt given by the system.

I have been searching for Suwako aimlessly for half a year. This is not very reliable. I think she must have listened to my advice and found a place to hide.

"Suwa Myojin? I have never met him. Do you think too highly of me? I am not omniscient and omnipotent." This is how Yakumo Yukari answered Xia Shi's question.

Xia Shi was suddenly disappointed.

He thought that this great monster who had existed since Pangu created the world would know some information.

It seems there is no hope.

After working as a supervisor on the ridge of the field for a while, Xia Shi was ready to go home.

Originally, this job would not have fallen on his head. Unfortunately, the peach blossom demon Yaoyao has fallen into a semi-sleeping state recently, and it seems inconvenient for her to show her human form in autumn and winter.

Chapter 303 Winter

Living in the mountains has good air, but there is a fatal flaw.

When winter comes, it is extremely cold.

As a southerner, Xia Shi used to look forward to snow. Every time it snowed, he would run to the small courtyard to relax.

"When will the snow stop?" Xia Shi looked at the continuous snow outside the window and felt that something was wrong.

You tell me, if the snow only reaches people's feet, we can still build snowmen or something.

But how to deal with the snow that is so high that it almost reaches the waist? If you step into it, you can't even see your head if you are Xiaoling's height.

If it's Eriri...

Almost half of the body is exposed.

"I saw you were quite happy a few days ago. How come you changed your mind after such a short period of time?" Yakumo Yukari said to Xia Shi who was standing by the window.

"No matter how good something is, if you have too much of it, it will not be any better!" Xia Shi withdrew his gaze.

Looked towards the living room.

There, a group of monsters were gathering together to play cards.

'It feels like I'm going back to my hometown to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year.'

All the aunts and uncles gathered together to play mahjong.

Then I'll ask about your current situation. Are you married? Do you have children? If you don't have any of these, then have you bought a car? Have you bought a house?

A series of soul-searching questions can basically penetrate the armor of any man.

"If you eat too much delicious food, you will get tired of it. If there are too many monsters, the space in the house will become smaller." Xia Shi sat on the sofa and picked up a book.

"If you want to say that we are in the way here, you can just say it directly." Ibaraki Hana smiled and looked at Xia Shi.

"Two of a kind." Suika took the opportunity to play her cards and threw a pair of three onto the table.

“……” The tea demon Xiao Ming blinked and pretended not to see it.

Xia Shi didn't dare to say that, "It's good to have more people, at least it's warmer."

Ying Lili chuckled a few times when she heard this.

This is the speed of giving in.
