The ghosts of the good-for-nothing miko

After landing, Kawako said goodbye to the two sharks. He had no regrets anymore.

Ponyo was a little sad, and her tears turned into a big pearl. She put a piece of yarn through the pearl. The clothes made of that yarn were as light as feathers, but a single piece could pass through knitting.

Ponyo personally hung the pearls around Kawako's neck as a parting gift.

Kawako promised her that he would come to see her in three months, and he would definitely bring many new stories by then~

He has always been the most honest person, so he counted the days, passed through forests, rivers, mountains and rivers, and arrived at the Bimeng Lake. He couldn't wait to tell Ponyo about the interesting things he had seen during this time.

But before it got close to the island, it already smelled a rotten and moldy smell, and the creatures living on the shore had disappeared. The surroundings were frighteningly quiet, and the flowers and plants were either withered or charred. turned into a pile of black slag~

Maybe there is still wind, carrying these dilapidated smells, so that a deep black mist emerges from the inside to the outside of Biemeng Lake, undulating on the water surface...

Kawako didn't know where he got the courage, so he held his nose and swam towards the island in the center.

The smell of the water was extremely fishy, ​​and the disc on top of the head stung.

But he didn't give up. He promised to see you again in three months, but he couldn't break his promise~

After finally arriving on the island, the giant shirt seemed to have been split by something. Only half of the trunk was left, charred and lifeless.

Kawako stood on the boulder and shouted loudly into the lake:

"Ponyo~Ponyo~I am Kawako from the other side of the mountain, I'm here to see you~"

"Ponyo~Ponyo~"

Fortunately, a figure appeared in the black mist~

But the person who came was not Ponyo, but the male shark. He was holding a red carp in his arms. The scales of the fish fell off in several places, revealing the burnt dark red flesh underneath. It was extremely pitiful.

And the male shark was not much better, looking even more miserable.

Kawako looked around, but there was no Ponyo anymore, so he started to get worried~

The carp spoke, just like what Ponyo said, with those thick lips and chirping mouth...

"Wow, yeah! Kawako on the other side of the mountain, please help the monsters here! A big-tailed black dog monster ran out of the mountain. It bites living creatures when it sees it, and it can also spit fire. It will destroy this dream. It was destroyed, and the singing female shark was captured, and she went to who knows where~"

After it finished saying this, it gasped for air, and the male mermaid put it into the water.

The water was very fishy, ​​but the carp had no choice but to spit out small bubbles and roll its eyes.

He was fished out of the water by the male shark again.

"Kawako on the other side of the mountain, you are the bravest traveler. Can you find a witch for us in the world? Only a powerful human can subdue this big dog monster... Gulu Gulu... You bring the tears of the shark with you , Money is their favorite...GuluGulu...Please help us save the singer in the water..."

The shark handed the cloth bags to Kawako one by one.

Inside are round pearls.

"Okay, I will definitely find it."

Kawako was very sad, but he had no time to be sad. He said goodbye to the sharks and traveled over the mountains and ridges, but every little monster he met couldn't tell how to find the human witch.

It kept walking and kept walking, even its straw sandals were scratched by stones. These are the straw sandals that grandpa knitted for it as a road traveler. They are the most tenacious~

Finally, a talking black crow showed it the way, and in return was the big pearl hanging on its chest.

So it chanted the words of the Crow Cult:

"What you wish for is achieved" ~ "What you wish for is achieved" ~

After passing through forest after forest, we finally came to this mountain.

Fortunately, there was a water seller at the foot of the mountain, but Kawako had no money, so he exchanged his pearls for the bag of water.

It missed the water in its hometown and said it wanted spring water in the mountains. The old man didn't know why. His water station only had water in various plastic bottles. Where there was spring water, he pointed to the advertising sign: We don't produce water. Just a porter of nature.

Kawako finally finished his story in one breath, took out another bottle of mineral water, and poured it into the disc above his head. He felt much better now.

It is so meticulous and must clearly explain all the causes and consequences.

Kawako buried her head and took out the pearl from her chest pocket.

He said that he had spent one, and he was really sorry. He could repay the favor by doing housework or telling stories~

Lin Yi took two more pearls from the pocket and placed them on his broad palm.

"You still want to tell me the difference between those waters, it's a labor fee~"

Kawako felt that Lin Yiyi's smile was really beautiful, completely different from the evil spirit in the legend.

"Then the miko-sama, did you accept this prayer?"

"Of course, I will accept all your pearls~"

Kawako was very happy, he finally completed the shark's commission.

That night, Kawako was arranged to sleep in Yumori's room. Anyway, the wild fox probably slept on the roof.

Kawako was exhausted. She slept on this soft bed that she had never seen before. It was much more comfortable than the thatched mats in her hometown. She soon began to snore~

I don’t know what I encountered in my dream. From time to time I called Ponyo, Tao Niu, and Grandpa~

In the hall, Bai Zexuan frowned slightly and rubbed his slender fingertips on the yellowed page of the demon book.

Fight~

It looks like a dog and is covered in black. It likes to eat fire and can breathe fire. Even its poop is a burning dung ball.

This kind of monster can only be born when a pregnant female monster dog is hit by a meteor fragment.

"It's interesting~"

Yusen yawned and said with a smile:

"It's actually a monster that plays with fire. It's a big black dog. I'll go and catch it. This Sanyuan Hall just needs a gatekeeper~"

"Yo~"

Bai Zexuan's eyes flashed with light. When did this wild fox become so enthusiastic?

But it's okay, he is the originator of playing with fire and is the most suitable candidate.

Lin Yiyi protested unhappily, saying that she could go to the demon world to wander around and gain knowledge. This was also her duty as a master witch. How could she push such tiring work to her subordinates?

And why shouldn’t we do all the knitting for that bag with all our heart and soul?

She said sadly that she was definitely not afraid of the announcement of her academic results tomorrow, absolutely not! ! !

Yu Sen was too lazy to pay attention to Lin Yiyi's quibbles. He just turned his eyes and said to Bai Zexuan:

"That's it, I'll take Kawako and set off tomorrow~"

Yawning, he went to sleep.

Uh!?(?_?;? Uh!

So, can I have a fever tomorrow?

Or a headache?

Is your waist a little sore today?

Did you stumble on the road?

Bai Zexuan closed the demon book:

"Good night master."

Uh!?(?_?;? Uh!
