Walking out of the guarded forest, the small fishing village is still peaceful on the calm seaside.

"Nanke, do you want to go trampling on tartar sand with us?" Awang pulled Nanke on the path paved with shells and gravel and asked.

Nanke looked at Asase Hibiki in front of him.

"Master will definitely say 'it doesn't matter'."

Asase Hibiki kept walking and didn't look back: "Indeed."

"Then I'll go back too." Nanke stroked his chest.

I finally understand why Shanbing always clung to his heart in the past.

I remembered the last time I woke up from the statue of Taosha, and the stragglers sat next to it and complained.

The pumping of the heartbeat then became warm and lively.

Remind her that she's not at the end of her rope yet.

This is Nanke's only real comfort now.

On the tide line in the distance stood scattered fishermen collecting their nets. Two children of similar ages shook their fishing nets like the parents next to them. I don’t know who noticed it first and turned back to look at them one after another.

Nanke recognized it as Chunxiang's family.

Chunxiang and some other fishermen waved their hands high and shouted: "Miko-sama, have a safe trip!"

But they seem to no longer recognize Nanke, who they met once.

"No need to respond." Asase Hibiki looked straight ahead and said quietly.

Nanke withdrew his gaze and passed by.

The relationship between Kiyora Island and the Inazuma Shogunate was tense, and the only ships sailing there from Narukami Island were warships.

In recent years, Tatarsha, which was once abandoned due to the munitions building incident, has become a secret port for foreign transactions for the residents of Qinglai Island.

The witch secretary Ling is not involved in political affairs, so as to avoid unnecessary complications, the latter is the natural choice.

But the convenience of the introduction and the identity of the miko arranged by Yae Kamiko ends here.

As soon as he landed, all kinds of eyes with different thoughts were cast towards him.

Everyone knew that witches were not easy to deal with, and the few nomads sitting on the roadside stared at them from the time they got off the boat to the time they got on the road, with unkind eyes.

Nanke secretly tensed up his nerves.

"Don't be nervous, Nanke," Awang patted Nanke on the shoulder and smiled relaxedly, "Everyone knows that what we do is a thankless job, and no one will hit us on the knife edge without knowing it."

Tatasha belongs to the archipelago called Kannazuka, located in the far south. They are currently in the last shogunate territory controlled by the Tenlord garrison, the Tenlord Formation House.

This is the northern island that will later be called "Kujo Jinya".

After Asase revealed his identity, the military camp, which had already received notification from the superiors, immediately welcomed him.

"It would be great if we had this kind of troops back then." A Wang sighed as he walked and looked at the tall sentry towers on both sides of the road.

The arsenal would not be desperate and brave the storm to send ships to Narukami Island.

"Haha," the soldier responsible for guiding the way laughed, "We have been on Narukami Island in the past few years. As long as we cheer up in a few years, whether they are evil spirits or rebels, we can annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

The conversation between the two was obviously not on the same channel.

Awang curled his lips, suddenly leaned forward, and cleverly hugged the longbow thrown by Asase Hibiki in front of him.

"I'll rest here tonight. I'll go meet with the local flag leader. You can do as you please and be careful."

Asase Hibiki said the last four words while looking at Awang.

"Okay Master!" Ah Wang smiled like a flower.

After arriving at Guanyi, Awang threw down his luggage, took Nanke and left the garrison camp.

"Don't you need to say hello?"

The sound of military drills behind him gradually faded away, and Nanke couldn't help but ask.

"We are witches. No one can order us except the Eight Great Masters and the General." A Wang pinched out a spell with his other hand, raised it to his lips and blew it into the air. "The ghostly fire is bright, and the true figure appears. Manifest quickly.”

A few rays of light flew out and penetrated into the ground ahead. After a while, a small treasure-hunting ferret emerged from the same position.

"Can you please lead the way?" Awang bent down and touched its ear with his fingertips.

The little treasure-hunting ferret seemed to understand, tilted its head and said "squeak", raised its tail and rushed towards the Tatar sand on the opposite side of the beach.

"Is this a spell learned from the Eightfold Divine Son?" Nanke and Awang followed behind and asked.

"Isn't it magical?" Ah Wang pinched his thumb and middle finger together, and gestured to Nan Ke, "I can sign a temporary contract with the little monster, but it's a pity that my spiritual power is not strong enough, otherwise I might be able to summon There’s a super invincible treasure-hunting ferret out there!”

Awang opened his hands and smiled brightly.

The sun had already set below the horizon, and the purple-red glow reflected the dark shadows of Tatar sand in the distant backlight, spreading silently behind Awang. This scene was vivid and beautiful.

Nanke's heart moved slightly.

Indescribable.

But something seems to have actually emerged from the deserted island and has continued in Awang.

They passed by a few Dendrobium trees with half-closed petals on the side of the road.

We also passed the coastline where broken wooden boats were stranded.

The treasure-hunting ferret led them all the way to the depths of the tar sand.

The roads are overgrown with weeds and are no longer clear. A rickety suspension bridge hangs from the roof of the half-collapsed knife-forging workshop. Under the melted hearth of the furnace, the land where evil spirits accumulate is barren and purple.

Nanke and Awang walked all the way to the deepest part of Tatar Sand, to the unmarked grave where Jianxiong and many martyrs were buried in the past.

"What a rough tomb." A Wang casually pulled two handfuls of weeds beside the tomb, frowning and complaining.

There was no sign of worship in front of the grave. Probably no one came back except them.

"Janexiong," Nanke touched the ground with his knees, leaned over and pressed gently on the grave bag, and whispered, "I went to see your sister Chunxiang. Her husband is gentle and has two children. Now she has passed away. Very happy.”

"I also want to say," Awang knelt down and put his palms on the soil like Nanke, "Master Yuyu has been living a good life in the past few years. His official position has not been moved, but his salary has increased. He even hired Jinjiro. I have been given a good marriage.”

"Awang also became a shrine maiden at Narukami Taisha Shrine, which is amazing."

"Nanke seems to have made a lot of strange friends."

"..."

After missing nearly three years, Nanke was speechless for a while, and Awang was basically isolated from the world. They looked at each other with helpless expressions.

Then he clasped his hands toward the tomb and prayed quietly.

More than just Kaneo.

Nanke said silently in his heart.

There are also Niwa-sama and Katsuragi who don’t even have a grave.

Her time is very long, and one day, when the long time has drowned the fallacies and sinners in history, she will definitely come back and help them build a cemetery.

Also, God bless her for finding the skirmishers.
