cat blues

It's really not difficult to guess that the woman in front of you is Yuzaoqian, whether it's the fox ears on her head, or the word "Yu" in her self-proclaimed name, the big cat Yuji knew Daji in the hell of their world, so contact her It is really not difficult at all to get in touch with Yuzao about the content related to the summoning that the caster said, especially the complicated look on the other side's face after seeing the aromatherapy from Earl d on Yuji's cat. It doesn't mean that the fox-eared witch in front of her is the legendary fox demon.

It's just that this fox demon is a bit far from the hell resident he knows. Even if Mrs. Daji perfectly transforms into a woman, even if she stays in the peaceful place of hell for a long time, she always puts on a lazy look, but The strong sense of danger on his body will never decrease, and it will even give people a more dangerous feeling.

But the person in front of her was different, a little too soft, like a puberty girl.

Edogawa Ranpo guessed that this probably means that a servant is a certain aspect of a heroic spirit. Because it is only a part of an individual, it will show a side that this individual would not normally show, which is not difficult to understand.

Edogawa Ranpo thought so, and took off the black-rimmed glasses on his face, and when he put them back in his pocket, he took out a fruit candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

Big cat Yuji saw him eating candy, and his thoughts flew to nowhere. Suddenly, the big cat stood up from the table, ran to the corner with small steps, and took the two big bags of thick snacks he bought back. Take it over, take it out one by one and put it on the table.

"Mr. Yukichi!" Edogawa Ranbu became happy in an instant, and jumped into Yukichi's big cat's arms with a swoop, "Thank you, Mr. Yukichi!"

After Yuji the big cat was complacent for a while, he finally began to face up to the current situation. The big cat pushed the young man in his arms away, and motioned him to go over there to choose some snacks to eat and play, while he dug out the cat language translator and put it on the table. Then he looked seriously at the fox-eared witch.

Tamazamae is actually quite curious about the current situation. Although she said these words to the two people in front of her, she also thinks her new aster is very interesting, but if she wants to say how willing she is to contribute in this Holy Grail War, That's definitely not to be expected.

It is true that Yuzao Zenkanren prefers to examine the soul of the other party rather than sticking to the other party's appearance, age and gender, but what if the other party is not even a person?Although I like to claim to be wild, but that so-called wildness is relative to human beings, but for a cat... especially for a cat that has been acting muddled since the beginning until now, what else do you want from Yuzao? Loyalty or something, that is an unreasonable force.

This has nothing to do with Tamazamae's disposition, it's just a simple human, or the habitual contempt of other ordinary creatures by humanoid creatures. For human beings, it can't even be regarded as a mistake, not to mention that although there is quite a soft spot in the heart Tamamo, who is still very proud in essence, came forward.

It was precisely because Edogawa Ranpo saw this that he did not hesitate to say the real name that the fox-eared priestess has always avoided saying. At the same time, he also felt a little emotional. It seems that there are no demons in this world. In the case of humans, either even monsters look more in line with human aesthetics, or they look similar to humans, at least the local demons that can be remembered by people are like this.

"It's such a strange world." Edogawa Ranpo couldn't help thinking of the group of weird-looking guys and the large group of animal jailers in hell.

"As for the current situation, I think we need to have a good and serious talk." The big cat Yuji meowed a few times at Yuzaoqian seriously, looking at the text appearing on the cat language translator, Yuzaoqian All of a sudden, he turned pale with shock.

"What? Xiao Yuzao made a big mistake!" Yuzao said with a changed expression, "Aster, do you actually have human thinking?"

"If you think that Mr. Yukichi is just a simple cat in his heart just because Mr. Yukichi is a big cat, then you are very wrong." Said in an indistinct voice.

"No, I also found out that Xiao Yuzao is completely disqualified from Yuzao!" Yuzao knelt down without hesitation, and bowed to the big cat in front of him, "I'm really sorry, as a Caster, yet he did such a disrespectful and presumptuous action without even clarifying what kind of existence his own aster is, such a disqualified Tamazao still wants to be a virtuous wife, what a failure, Hiku Hiku."

Yuzao said before, but even sobbed softly.

"A good wife?" Fukuzawa Yukichi, who felt as if he had heard quite something, couldn't help repeating the other party's words.

"Yes..." Yuzao looked up crying, and said while wiping away tears: "The reason why Xiao Yuzao accepts the summoning is this."

"Isn't it for the Holy Grail...?" Fukuzawa Yukichi, who had just heard about the Holy Grail as a universal wish-granting machine, asked in disbelief.

"That's not it." Yuzao shook her head vigorously, "I don't need the Holy Grail or something. My own wishes and things are only meaningful if I achieve them through my own efforts."

"Yeah, that's right." Edogawa Ranpo had a slight change in his opinion of this fox-eared girl at this time, "Anyone who is only thinking about cheating with props is an idiot!"

"That's it." Tamamo nodded in agreement with Edogawa Ranpo's statement, and then leaned over to look at Yukichi the cat, "Aster, I am really very rude and sorry, please let me introduce myself again, I It's caster Tamamo-mae, a fox shrine maiden whose dream is to become a good wife."

"Ah, hello, I'm Yuji, a cat." The big cat Yuji also quickly bowed and introduced himself quickly.

Yuzao carefully looked at Yuji the big cat, and finally showed an incomprehensible look on his face, "Aster, you are really just a cat..."

This time Yuzao saw it clearly, the cat in front of him and these two people had beautiful souls that were so beautiful that they could be treasured, but his aster was really just a cat.Although the size is a bit unexpected, and there are unexpectedly many magic circuits in the body, but it is really just a cat.

Things like magic circuits have always been regarded as the simulated nerves held by magicians. Although it is in the magic world, non-humans can be considered magicians as long as they have magic circuits, but whether it is from common sense or the knowledge of magicians Look, an ordinary cat with nothing special about it except that it is a little bigger has a magic circuit, and there are a full 45 magic circuits, which is outrageous.

Tamazamae was 100% sure that before summoning him, this large cat had never used these magic circuits at all, so that when he reached out to grab the big cat's furry paws and began to perceive the other's physical condition, the big cat didn't even There was no reaction at all, and when he tried to activate those magic circuits, the big cat frowned as if he had been electrocuted, but he didn't feel the pain that normal people feel when the magic circuits are suddenly activated. It's just as if the fur all over his body has been rubbed by balloons. The hair is a little badly blown, but there is no discomfort.

It's also amazing.

Yu Zaoqian's expression turned serious, "Aster's physique is too special, it must be well protected, otherwise if it is discovered by the current magicians, it might be arrested and dissected!"

After hearing her words, I was just a little confused about what the other party did to make me feel like I was getting an electric shock. The big Yuji cat was completely shocked, and the meows were a little out of tune, "Meow?"

Hearing this, Fukuzawa Yukichi almost wanted to draw his sword. Even Edogawa Ranpo, who was addicted to snacks, couldn't help straightening up, looking at Tamazamo with a serious face.

"But please leave it to me with confidence. Tamamo, I will do my best to protect you!" Tamamo said super seriously, and after she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Fukuzawa Yukichi next to her, "If that's the case, then Let you act as Tamamo's temporary master. You should be a good swordsman, right?"

"Ah..." Fukuzawa Yukichi said with a straight face.

"Then, please give me your hand." Tamamo said before habitually putting on a smiling expression, "If it's the master, it usually has the command spell on the back of the hand, and the aster also has it on the back of the hand. It's just because it's covered by hair, so no one can see it. Since I want you to pretend to be my Master, I need to draw a fake Command Seal on the back of your hand."

This is true, Edogawa Ranpo who is on the side has already grabbed the two cat paws of the big Yukichi cat and carefully looked at the thick hair on the paws, and indeed saw a wonderful red pattern drawn by three strokes , he thought for a while and said to Tamamo, "If possible, can you give the president a pattern that looks like a cat?"

"Huh? Your Excellency likes cats, umm, I like cats very much now." Tamamomae did not refuse, but instead drew the original very simple arc-shaped red mark into a pattern of a galloping cat, "That's fine. Speaking of which, what do you two want to call?"

"Fukuzawa..." Fukuzawa Yukichi hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Edogawa's random voice.

"For the president, you can just call him Master anyway, and for me, he is the best super detective in the world, Edogawa Ranpo!" Edogawa Ranpo proudly puffed out his chest.

"Okay..." Although there is a lot of modern knowledge in the knowledge that the Holy Grail instilled in the summoned servants, it doesn't have much literature content, so Edogawa Ranpo's words didn't make Tamamomae think there was anything wrong , She nodded and said: "In this case, let's leave here first. After all, staying here is very dangerous. Not only will we be in danger, but it will also easily bring danger to the nearby residents."

No one objected to Tamazamae's statement this time. Everyone quickly packed up their belongings. Tamamomae immediately transformed into a spiritual child, turning into an appearance that no one could see. Fukuzawa Yukichi went back After entering the house, he went to the nearby forest under the leadership of Yuji Big Cat.

"I also know that this is not going to work, but there is no other way. I am afraid that the spirit veins of this city have owners, so we can only go to places where there are no people but quiet enough." The voice in front of Yuzao sounded quietly, she After a burst of shattering light, his figure appeared in the eyes of the two and the cat.

The expression of the word Lingmai is very direct and visual, so everyone understood it as soon as they heard it. They followed Yuzao and walked for a while, and unexpectedly saw a small shrine. Although the torii at the entrance of the shrine has long Faded, but the fox statue under the torii is still lifelike.

"Okay, let's settle here for the time being." Tamazamae was satisfied that the location he was looking for was not wrong, there is indeed an abandoned Inari Shrine here, "Aster, let you come and see me for The fruit of the bridal training to become a good wife!"

Then before waiting for 10 minutes, Tamamo found that he could only be a support staff, helping to provide clean water and help light the fire, and all other things were taken care of by his master, the big black cat moved skillfully He tidied up the shrine quickly, without even giving Tamamo a chance to show up.

"Yuzao, a good wife is disqualified." Yuzao, who thought she was already very good at housework, couldn't help but blame herself when she faced the big cat Yuji who was far more powerful than herself.

"Mr. Yukichi is super powerful." Edogawa Ranpo didn't have much resistance to going out to hide. Although there is no comfortable place to rest, it can be regarded as shelter from wind and rain anyway. In special circumstances, he also felt the need to hide for a while, "Can you explain your thoughts now?"

Edogawa Ranpo knew the situation very well, so he took the initiative to ask. Currently, his understanding of the so-called Holy Grail War is limited to seven servants summoned by the seven masters, and the job descriptions of the seven servants are different. Not the same, they need to fight in this city, and the group that survives to the end will get the Holy Grail, the universal wishing machine, as a prize.

To be honest, this so-called Holy Grail War sounds subtle to Edogawa Ranpo's ears, and the fact that the final winner can receive a universal wishing machine as a prize is also full of conspiracy theories in his opinion. After all, this so-called Holy Grail War has been held for the fourth time, but none of them have been successful. If Osamu Dazai were to come here, I'm afraid he would have already planned how to kill the other masters.However, he is actually a little impulsive now. After all, according to Yuzao, as long as there is no ability to act independently, after all, generally speaking, as long as the master dies, the servant will also disappear due to lack of offerings.

However, such a thought only flashed in Edogawa Ranpo's head, and then disappeared instantly. His nature does not care about good and evil, but since he chose to walk with Fukuzawa Yukichi, then he must be walking. On the side of good and justice.

Tamamomae scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly, "What, after all, I am a caster, and what a caster is good at is the creation of formations and the existence of magic. Although I am not good at magic, I am very good at spells."

Yuzao said before raising his hand, as if conjuring a piece of talisman from his fingers, "It's very easy to conjure water and fire just like before, and it can also do many other things ..."

"To put it simply, you are not good at frontal combat. No, it is not accurate to say that you are not good at it. I think from the perspective of your muscular division, it should be easy to hit one or two adult strong men head-on at least. " Edogawa Ranpo said casually as he sat on the tidied mat.

"I'm still a servant anyway, even if my muscle strength is only e, I'm more than five times stronger than an ordinary human being." Tamazamae felt as if he had been humiliated, but the other party actually mentioned his muscle distribution, which is strange Observation!Isn't it really a special magic eye?

Big Mao Yuji felt the complicated mood of his servant, and hurried over to pour her a glass of water and put it in her palm.

Tamazamo felt even more congested in an instant, this feeling that even a woman's power is no match for a cat, it's too much!

Yukichi the big cat looked at her a little puzzled, wondering why Tamazamo seemed to be more depressed.

But soon, Tamazamo recovered, "Aster, you should leave this kind of thing to me..."

Big Cat Yukichi shook his head at her and grunted twice. Ranpo Edogawa who was beside him could guess the meaning of Big Cat Yukichi without even looking at a cat language translator. He shook his head and said, "Anyway, We need to know your plan and your ability, you said that caster is good at formation and magic, so let me understand magic as the spell you mentioned, what is formation?"

"Hmm..." Yuzao showed a painful expression on his face.

"Well, okay, it seems that you are not good at this." Edogawa Ranpo said very positively, "And what about your plan? You can't do nothing, right?"

"No, no, intelligence collection or something should be carried out first." Yuzao shook her head quickly, she now knows what it's like to have a smart person by her side, she said quickly, "I'm still very good at speaking Gathering information."

"Through that mirror of yours?" Edogawa Ranpo estimated how long the pair of snacks he bought would be enough for him to eat, and asked casually.

"Yes, with my spells and my mirror, I think there should be no problem with at least information gathering." Tamazamo hurriedly brought over the mirror that had been floating all the time, "And since the servant came here by summoning People who exist in the history of the world, so abilities and so on will be linked to their own legends..."

"So if we can know the real name in advance, the reason that caused their death in the legend will also become the factor that makes them easy to die now, right?" Edogawa Ranpo estimated a not-so-good date, feeling a little bit in his heart Depressed, he said quickly, "But that should be limited to people with rumors such as "Achilles' heel". Weaknesses or something can only continue to be a legend. "

"Yes..." Yuzao lowered her eyes and wanted to cry, and the ears on her head drooped. Women are not as strong as my aster, and their brains are not as good as the aster's companion. Why do I feel like a failure as a caster?

"Forget it, tell us everything you know." Ranpo Edogawa didn't expect too much, "Also, there should be something wrong with this mirror, right?"

"Mum!" Yuzao let out a cute startled cry.

Edogawa Ranpo did not continue to ask, but began to ask the caster in detail about every item related to the Holy Grail War. Tamazamae said that his mouth was a little dry, but he did not expect that the person in front of him would still have A steady stream of new questions made her want to pull out a copy of the Holy Grail War edition with one hundred thousand whys.At this time, the big cat Yuji had made tea for them very considerately and brought them over, telling them by the way that dinner was ready and ready to eat.

Yuzao turned pale with shock, she still wanted to show off her cooking skills, but she saw on a somewhat crude earthen stove erected over there, Yuji the big cat stuffed rice in bamboo tubes with various fillings Carefully take it off with a clip, and Fukuzawa Yukichi on the side easily splits the bamboo tube into two with a fruit knife. The aroma of the cooked food and the fragrance of bamboo products come to the face immediately.

By the time Yuzao came back to her senses, she had already eaten three servings of rice in bamboo tubes, and the fox-eared maiden bent forward on the ground in frustration. I don't know how many times I was sad in my heart today. What is the strangeness of my aster? For cats of different breeds, the name of a good wife can be used directly on it, okay?She felt that she was not only disqualified by Yuzao, but almost disqualified in the world.

After entering the night that day, the mirror in front of Tamamo suddenly emitted light, and Fukuzawa Yukichi immediately woke up the person and cat who were sleeping together again.I have to say, there was a big cat preparing a simple version of tatami for him, and there was himself as a pillow, and in front of Tamamo who felt that he was too unqualified and set up an enchantment around him to adjust the temperature, Edogawa Ranpo didn't feel sleepy at all. If there is any problem in the dilapidated shrine, he got up from Yukichi big cat in a daze, yawned and looked at the mirror over there.

Tamazamae once again lamented that her aster's partner had a flexible mind. After dinner at night, Edogawa Ranpo asked her to set up surveillance tools in places where the spiritual veins responded strongly. Tamazamae was not good at making positions or props. But her spell level is ex, which means it cannot be estimated.She directly used spells to temporarily make a few small familiars to throw out, and asked the familiars to search for the nearby place where the spirit veins converge, and then she successfully found the Holy Church in Fuyuki City, two very European-style, looking A sort of castle-like house, and in the distance an actual castle on the outskirts of the city, and a very odd temple.

At the gates of these places, Tamazamo has also found familiars of other magicians, but compared with "casters" like her, other magicians are obviously limited in magic power, and the number of familiars released and the ability to hide their whereabouts are lower than that of "casters". Not on her.

But before she told her aster the good news, she found that the big cat had taken Edogawa Ranbu to sleep, and only the silver-haired swordsman in front of her was sitting by the campfire to watch the night.

In front of Tamamo, big failure!

Fortunately, new news was brought to her at night. A group of people saw a little black in the mirror in front of Yuzao trying to sneak into a certain house, and was caught by the guard of the house, a man with golden colors all over his body. The man beat into a sieve.
