To the eternal you

"Master Qi, please taste this excellent winter firefly honey."

Lingle handed a cup of still steaming honey water to the girl, and also prepared a small bowl for the little raccoon to make it easier for it to eat.

This little demon raccoon looks quite spiritual, and if you think about the solution to the problem that the girl said, then the reason why Qi is not in the caravan is already obvious.

So it is a little hero that I and Qi can meet, and it is okay to treat it a little bit kindly, and it can also show the image of liking the raccoon in the eyes of the other party, and Ai Wu and Wu Xia can also talk to me more intimately.

All kinds of skills, this is tea art.

"Ah, thank you Ms. Suzuki for your hospitality, please call me Qi, and I feel a little bit out of place, sir."

The subconsciously polite girl froze after receiving the honey water.

Didn't my remarks just now seem like I really wanted to increase my relationship with Ms. Suzuraki!Sure enough, as soon as she looked up, she saw the eldest lady showing a fox-like sly smile.

But in the blink of an eye, he returned to the quiet and calm look just now.

"Then, it's better to be respectful than obedient, please also call me Suzura or 楽."

Ms. Kamisato sat upright, like an egret standing still overlooking the mountains, but Qi always felt that if she had a fox tail, she might have started to turn.

"Of course, if you have any nickname you like—"

"Ahem! Suzuki is very good, it's a very nice name."

I feel that if I continue this kind of topic, I will be led into strange routines, and I like to call this kind of thing, which sounds very suspicious at first sight.

For example, when keeping pets, cats, dogs, tortoises, etc. are too close. It’s better to say that once you use this naming method, it’s strange to say that you are my beloved little turtle.

Suzuki had no objection. While tasting the honey water, she also ordered the three raccoon ninjas who rushed over to make some snacks.

As punishment for their dereliction of duty, by the way, the ingredients include the rice grown in Maci's hard-working small field, the white sugar cubes that Jiazi finally bought with savings, and the scarlet hydrangeas that Lang picked outside.

Scarlet cherry cake, quite a wagashi with rice wife characteristics.

However, wagashi must not be eaten as a meal, and there are other preparations for Suzuki for dinner, so the girl must eat fragrant and full.

As the saying goes, if you want to grab your lover's heart, you need to grab his stomach first.

Regardless of men and women, as long as you conquer the other person's stomach, you can slowly make the other person depend on you, and eventually become a useless person who can't take care of himself.

And Lingle has a little bit of knowledge about her cooking skills, just like the tea art.

"Speaking of which, is there any progress regarding Suzukura-sama Gobazo-sama?"

"[Baosheng Sizheng] Lord Wubaizang hid, no matter how hard we searched, we couldn't find a trace. When we finally came to its shrine to enshrine, it reluctantly responded."

Suzuki squeezed her throat lightly, and said in a slightly serious voice.

"Hey! You human boys leave quickly. If you want my comb, then find the stinky fox!"

"Or—come and find me. I am hiding in the guarded forest. If you can find me, it is not impossible to hand over the comb to you, although this is something that can only happen in dreams! Ha-ha-ha-"

The haha ​​she deliberately pretended to be a little cute, but judging from this information, it may not be so easy for Qi to find Wubaizang.

The girl looked at the little demon fox thoughtfully, and then asked, "Zhengcheng, do you know where Lord Wubaizang is hiding?"

With a frustrated face, Zhengcheng shook his head: "Hey... Hey..."

"You said you could still feel it at the beginning, but since you entered the Kamisato Yashiki, you have completely blocked the induction between the little foxes?"

"Hey hey~" the little fox nodded.

It seems that he and Suzuraku-san met together, and then entered the Kamisato House together with Zhengcheng, which was discovered by Wu Baizang.

"It's Suzuki's lack of consideration. I didn't expect such a thing. I'm sorry..." Suzuki showed an apologetic expression. With her intelligence, it's not hard to figure out why Zhengcheng couldn't sense it.

"It doesn't matter, since it's the assessment of Lord Wubaizang, I'm sure he won't allow me to rely on the evidence to find it without authorization."

Qi comforted the other party, and always felt that according to past experience, even if he saw the other party, he might be scared by him first, and now it would be even more troublesome if he wanted to hide.

As for the stinky fox mentioned by Wu Baizang, there is no doubt that it can only be Lord Huzhai Palace, but Lord Huzhai Palace has already passed away, so how could he come to look for it.

Probably because of this, Ms. Suzuki didn't talk about looking for Mr. Hu Zhaigong.

Coupled with the guarding forest as the opponent's home field, it is not easy for human beings to find a little fox who can move freely in the forest, especially a little fox whose blindness is recognized by the master of Huzhai Palace.

Even if it is to find the past inch by inch, the manpower consumed is not acceptable to the Shenli family, let alone cheating like that, wouldn't Wubaizang hide outside?

"It looks like we've entered a dead end." Lingle got up and poured some more for the little fox who had already drunk the honey water, and then sat back down again, gently brushing the hair from her temples, her eyes drooping in thought.

The way the bad woman thinks seriously doesn't look so bad anymore, Qi secretly thought after taking a sneak peek.

At this time, there was a light knocking sound outside the door.

"Miss, the Scarlet Cake is ready, may I come in?"

It was Ma Ci. After getting the promise, she pushed open the door. She was dressed as a cook and bowed slightly, then walked in with a wooden dinner plate.

First serve two cups of cold brewed tea, the next wagashi would be too sweet if mixed with honey water.

Two sakura cakes are quietly placed on the left and right sides of the dinner plate, surrounded by the faint aroma of sakura. The thin red coat wraps the beautifully shaped soft snacks, and the dark green leaves add a sense of layering to the overall warm color. At the same time, those who are convenient to eat have a place to take it without hurting this beauty like a work of art.

But this moment is not the most beautiful moment for this dish, Ma Ci solemnly put down the cherry blossom cake, and looked at the small plate with a few petals of scarlet cherry.

She stretched out her hand, bent her arms slightly, gently twisted the cherry petals with her index finger and thumb, every effort was just right, without damaging the delicate petals of Scarlet Sakura.

Straighten the arms, raise the arms, press down the wrists, the hand twisting the petals of the cherry blossoms looks like a Z, and then release it gently, as if letting the wind slip through the fingers.

The cherry petals slid down along the arc of the arm, and finally landed on the cherry cake, which became the finishing touch.

Sublimated from a dead work of art, the cooker's concept of the fleeting beauty is sealed inside, and it is like a moment of silence. Just take a sip, it seems to return to the moment when the scarlet cherry blossoms are falling. .

Ma Ci's expression was very focused. After doing this for the second time, she took back the plate, and finally retreated step by step to the door, bending down again.

"Please use it slowly - I will take my leave first."

She gently closed the door and retreated slowly.

"..."

How should I put it, does that unreliable ninja big sister also have such a powerful side?

Looking forward to the Scarlet Cake in front of me, I thought it was just a simple dessert before dinner, but I didn't expect there to be so many ways.

However, it would be too wasteful to just watch it.

Suzuki gently picked up the scarlet pancake, as if observing the cooking and looking at the girl's expression.

"She is a servant I trust very much. Although she looks very unprofessional in the professional area, she is perfect in the non-professional areas."

"Okay, please enjoy it. If you don't eat the Crimson Cherry Cake in time, it will wither like a flower on a happy occasion. The delicacy contained in it and the effort put into it by the maker will also wear out with time. Please don't be reluctant Mouth."

After all, she took the lead in biting the corner of Feiying Cake lightly.

The expression on his face has also become much more frank. It is the satisfied look shared by people when enjoying delicious food.

Qi also grabbed the scarlet cake and tore off half of it for the little demon fox, and laughed a little at the way the other party was holding half of it himself.

Life like this seems to be good, Qi can feel that the current atmosphere is very good, drinking appropriate tea and enjoying wagashi.

Even the originally troubled thoughts seemed to be much more active.

Looking at the light cherry blossoms on the crimson cherry blossoms, Qi suddenly remembered the witch lady in her dream who was standing next to Thunder Seed and wearing a cat face mask.

A strange intuition told her that the other party might have a way.

It's like when I found Mitsuyo and Iwazura by following my intuition when I was in Kagekoyama.

But... where is she? In that dark and humid place, even in the dream, only the clear moon-like light enters in at the end.

There are too many suspicious targets in the dark and humid environment. I am afraid that there are quite a few that meet this condition on Narugami Island, but if there is a place with light like that, you can filter out most of the caves that do not match. river course.

What could it be, the round moonlight?

A dilapidated, dilapidated house built in a remote place?

No, I vaguely remember that it is composed of stone walls, and there are a lot of moss and algae.

In addition, the thunder seed standing there abnormally should have drifted in by accident...

The girl chewed the scarlet cherry cake carefully, her frown matched her charming face, she hit the strike zone of a young lady perfectly, and made her pink and tender toes sitting cross-legged under the kotatsu twitch restlessly She moved, trying to cover up the cute screams in her heart with a calm expression.

Qi picked up the cup of cold-brewed tea, looked at the upside-down tea leaves, his frowning brows relaxed a bit, and then he took a sip.

I can feel that the tea is very good, but the girl doesn't know much about it, but she can feel that it seems to have a calming and tranquil effect, and even the water used to make the tea should be a high-end product.

Inspiration flashed by.

"Suzuru, may I ask what water you use to make this tea?"

Qi puts down the teacup, and can see his own shadow reflected in the cool tea in the cup.

"It's the well water that the ancestors of the Shenli family have been using until now. Because the water quality is quite clear and sweet, I use well water every time I make cold tea."

Suzuki was a little confused, but still answered it.

"So that's the case, I think there may be a way."

Qi raised his face, with a relaxed look on his face. If he were to be screened with such conditions, according to his vague memory, he could vaguely remember that he was near Ganjin Island, and finally flowed into the earth veins, but what is certain is that the memory was Precipitates are stored instead of being transferred to unknown locations, so target wells for screening.

Wells can only be found in areas where people live. There is no such need in the White Fox Field. This is the original residence of sky foxes and ground foxes. There may be many shrines, but there are no deserted wells.

Ganjin Island is also an area where people go to festivals, and there are no crops. In addition, it is located outside the island, even if you dig a well, you will only get sea water, so there is no habit of using wells.

Then the most likely area to appear is only Konta Village.

To narrow down the condition a bit more, and use the unavailable water well as the condition, we can get the answer of the moonlight reflecting at the bottom of the well.

And it just so happened that when the girl went to Konta Village, she visited the village chief's house, and if I remember correctly.

There is a deserted well in the backyard of the village head, but I remember that it seems to be covered with something, but no matter what, it is a goal to look for it, and then ask the village head, maybe you can find it.

The well where the shrine maiden with the cat face mask resides.

And just happened to be able to visit Iwazura by the way, and after making up his mind, Qi drank all the tea in one go and stuffed the remaining scarlet pancakes into his mouth, his bulging cheeks looked like squirrels.

Ms. Suzura looked a little dazed.

What happened to such a bold way of eating all of a sudden?

"Thank you for your hospitality. Qi suddenly remembered an important matter that needs to be dealt with. It is in Yantian Village. I will go back as soon as I go!"

"Eh?! Wait a minute—?"

I was thinking about what to do for dinner and how to lure Miss Suzuraki into the boudoir.

Looking at the girl who disappeared all of a sudden, I felt broken for the first time.

She held her forehead in a daze, why did the good night she had booked suddenly dissipate like a dream.

PS: She is in a hurry, she is in a hurry.

Regarding the update, this book is written based on the author's personal experience in Tivat, so how many updates will be made depends on how fast the author arrives at the plot point. Now that he has left the house of Kamisato, he will probably be able to reach Konta Village tomorrow.

So the best way to urge updates is to send an anchor point to the author and insert it in Dao's wife to speed up the journey. (?)
