[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

Not long after the hair-eating ghost left, the goblins returned to Reiko with the bewildered white wolf and Yingcao who hid behind the white wolf and was embarrassed to look up.

I just don't know why, it seems that those monsters look at Yingcao in a strange way?

The leading monster looked like he was about to cry, and knelt respectfully in front of Reiko: "My lords, please take that firefly away as soon as possible, it's too, too scary!"

Yingcao flinched when she heard the words, with a crying voice: "Yes, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean it! It's just... your hairstyle is so weird, it looks so good! I... I just 'lightly 'Yes, it's just a 'ding'!"

Reiko, Yaodaoji and Jiumingmao were all silent when they heard the words, especially Jiumingmao, who had been unfortunately "stinged" by the firefly grass, turned around unlovingly, pointed her butt at the firefly grass, It looks like the eyes are pure.

Meow, isn't Yingcao a healing monster?God knows why she is more violent than Reiko!

"Ahem." White Wolf coughed a few times in embarrassment, breaking the silence at this moment.

Although Yingcao's fighting power is a bit...beyond imagination, the consistent sense of justice still cannot make the white wolf ignore this Yingcao who keeps saying that he wants to follow her.

"I don't know why this lord is looking for me and Yingcao?"

Reiko waved her hand to let the little monsters who were already on pins and needles leave: "Do you still remember Abe Seimei?"

The white wolf was stunned for a moment: "Qingming, my lord... are you talking about that famous big □□□?"

"Sure enough, I forgot!" Reiko rubbed her head with a headache, "Then is there anything you still remember?"

"I'm practicing archery in order to catch up with Master Boya." White Wolf suddenly thought of something, frowned, and asked hesitantly, "My lord, for some reason you gave me a familiar feeling. I don’t know if we’ve met before?”

Yingcao also poked her head out: "I, I have the same feeling."

Reiko looked at the two heads, one big and one small in front of her, and the scene when they met appeared in her mind.

White Wolf and Firefly...they are different from Yaodao Ji and Nine Lives Cat.

When we met for the first time, Yaodao Ji had no memory of the past, Jiuming cat lost its former owner, and they were all homeless, so Reiko stretched out her hands to them and became their continuation reason to live.

Therefore, in the hearts of Nine Lives Cat and Yaodao Ji, Reiko is an irreplaceable existence.

However, White Wolf and Yingcao are different.

They became Seimei's shikigami, but they just wanted to become stronger, and the contract they made was more like an exchange.

Although they developed a deep friendship with each other in the process of getting along, it is not irreplaceable.

Since they have forgotten, why force them to remember?Compared with the turbulent undercurrent in Heian-kyo, Qijiao Mountain is obviously much safer.

"Your feeling is wrong. This is the first time we met. Since you don't know Abe Seimei, then I probably found the wrong person. Let me leave." Reiko turned and left decisively after finishing speaking.

Yao Dao Ji glanced at Reiko, then picked up the Nine Lives Cat, who was still confused about the situation, and followed Reiko. "Please wait!" When the white wolf came back to his senses, he blurted out the words to stop him, "May I ask your name?"

Reiko turned her head, looked at White Wolf's serious expression, and couldn't help laughing: "What a surprise, in the past, it seemed that I always took the initiative to ask people's names."

"Remember, my name is Reiko, Natsume Reiko."

The voice with a smile was like a gust of wind, blowing past the white wolf's ears.

The white wolf seems to have caught something, but it seems to have caught nothing.

But what does it matter?

Lost memories can be recreated; broken bonds can be reconnected.

"Master Reiko...I remember it!" White Wolf repeated the name several times, then looked into Reiko's eyes, "Master Reiko, please allow me to follow you temporarily!"

"Oh?"

"At first, I felt that I seemed to have forgotten something, but the arrival of Master Reiko made me more sure of this." At this point, White Wolf paused, as if he was preparing for words.

"I have always wanted to follow in Boya-sama's footsteps and become an upright and brave existence like Boya-sama. I don't know what I forgot, but I must have known Reiko-sama and Seimei-sama—because just listening to The name has a very familiar feeling."

"Master Reiko came to see me, there must be something that needs help. So, please let me follow you, Master Reiko!"

"Hmm...can I keep following?" Yingcao slowly walked out from behind the white wolf, "Although I am weak, if you are injured, I can come in handy."

"What if I refuse?" Reiko didn't immediately agree.

"Then, I will also follow Reiko-sama." White Wolf replied unswervingly, and Yingcao also stood beside White Wolf and kept nodding.

Reiko was moved and funny at the same time, monsters are always such one-sided creatures.

If you hate someone, you will take revenge by all means, even if you completely destroy yourself; if you love someone, you will wait and follow unswervingly, even if that person has become a dead bone in the grave.

"Even if I'm going to a scary place?" Reiko thought of the location of the Kusanagi sword fragments that Hei Seimei gave, and couldn't help joking, "Maybe it's haunted there."

"Yes, no matter where, I will follow." The white wolf did not hesitate at all.

Yingcao shrank her neck, but seeing the calm look of the white wolf, she mustered up the courage to make a promise: "Yingcao will be brave too!"

"That's right..." Reiko curled her lips, "Don't worry, I'm just joking, and I'm just going to an abandoned house to find something, I will protect you!"

"Well then, welcome back, my partner."

.

Two days later.

Looking at the gloomy house in front of her, Reiko couldn't help wondering if she was possessed by some crow monster.

It is not the first time for Reiko to see ghosts, especially with a beautiful ghost like Zuowei in front of her, Reiko has long since lost her respect for ghosts.

But... what happened to this house that looked like a haunted house?

"Bai, Master Bailang, are we really going in?" Yingcao hugged Bailang's thigh, looking like she was about to cry.

"This is also part of the practice!" White Wolf said calmly—well, of course, this "calmness" was without looking at her ears that stood up instantly.

Reiko sighed helplessly as she looked at the Nine-Life Cat whose hair stood up one by one but said "I'm not afraid at all", and the Yaodao Ji who silently took two steps closer to her.

In other words, why are monsters still afraid of ghosts?

Obviously some monsters look scarier than ghosts, okay?

"You guys stay outside, I'll go in and have a look alone." Finally, seeing the group of monsters who hadn't moved for a long time, Reiko made such a decision.

"How is this possible!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Ben Meow disagrees!"

Yaodao Ji, White Wolf and Nine Lives Cat said in unison.

"It's decided like that!" Reiko didn't give them a chance to refute.

"But...you're more afraid if you stay outside, right?" Yingcao said weakly.

As if to increase the persuasiveness of the firefly grass, a gust of wind happened to blow by, the branches danced wildly, and the wooden house in front of them made a "creaking" sound, and the coolness instantly climbed up the backs of the monsters.

Reiko looked at the four partners who were shrinking their bodies and trying to raise their heads to show that they were not afraid, and sighed again.

So, why are monsters afraid of ghosts?It's still this kind of ghost that can't be sure whether it really exists.

.

"Squeak ~ creak ~"

With the long sound of opening the door, Reiko stepped into the abandoned house, followed by four monsters who were a little too cautious.

"Crackling ~"

The old floorboards were emitting smoke continuously under Reiko's feet, smoke and dust were flying all around, and it was pitch black—it was still dusk outside, but it was almost impossible to see inside the room.

"Ling, Master Reiko, I'm afraid!" Yingcao's trembling voice came from behind, she wanted to pull Lingzi's clothes in fear, but she touched a fluffy thing, and then... a pair of glowing Beast pupil suddenly appeared in front of Yingcao.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

……

"Ding ding ding ding!"

"what happened?"

"What happened?!"

……

The people behind were turned on their backs. When Reiko was startled and reacted, she only saw the Nine Lives Cat who was fainted on the ground by "ding" and Yingcao who was holding a glowing dandelion and crying "嘤嘤嘤", and holding a dandelion. Dao and Zhang Gong were obviously in shock, Yao Dao Ji and Bai Lang.

Reiko didn't know why, but she suddenly had the idea of ​​beating them all unconscious, and then rubbing her arm to get on herself.

"A cat's eyes glow at night, so after Yingcao accidentally caught Xiaojiu's paw, Xiaojiu looked back at her. The glowing eyes made Yingcao think it was something like a ghost, so she knocked Xiaojiu out , Is that so?" Reiko concluded after finally understanding the situation.

"Yes... yes." Yingcao shrank her head and replied with a voice the size of a mosquito.

Reiko looked at the dandelion that was emitting a faint light at this moment, but said nothing.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot that my dandelion can glow." Yingcao apologized weakly.

"Don't mind." Reiko hugged the unconscious Nine Lives Cat, and then used her spiritual power to condense a ball of light, "Because I forgot too."

Demon Sword Girl & White Wolf: "..."

"Ahem, let's keep going." Reiko coughed a few times, "Let's find out what is playing tricks."

With the light on, the "haunted house" doesn't look so scary.

Although the old wooden floor is still making a "creaking" sound and the air is filled with a decaying smell, the general layout of the house can already be seen clearly.

Reiko used the light ball in her hand to open the doors one after another. Most of them were just some abandoned furniture, and soon there was only the last room that had not been checked.

But just when Reiko touched the door with her hand and was about to push back, an ethereal singing sound came from inside.

……

Brother, I have a box

did you send it

It's full of gifts from you

brother i have a secret

do you want to hear

guess what's in the box

severed palm

The restored head

don't throw around

Be careful and keep it close

……

Accompanied by the singing, the door in front of Reiko "creaked" and opened inward by itself.

A girl with white hair hugging her knees was sitting on a huge box at this moment, singing a song while casting curious eyes at Reiko and the others.

……

talk to me

do not leave Me

talk to me

do not leave Me

If so, make you into a doll

Are you going to stay forever?

……

"Music box monster?" Reiko asked curiously, tilting her head.

The singing stopped abruptly.
