[Onmyoji] I don't want to be dog food

What is he excited about?

Would fighting make him that happy?I'm not strong enough to understand the thoughts of these big monsters. In short, every time I get along with Ibaraki, it can be said that I have racked my brains and racked my brains.Also be careful everywhere, worrying about angering him by saying or doing wrong things.

Xiao Bai lay on his stomach in the courtyard.

Ibaraki let go of my hand, casually took a reward notice from Xiaobai, put it firmly in my hand, and said, "This is it."

From this point of view, his real purpose is nothing more than to take me out of the courtyard, not to volunteer to help Seimei relieve the burden.Ibaraki is a cunning youkai, as if everything he does doesn't make it easy for others to see his hidden intentions.

In fact, what I want to say is that Ibaraki's approach is really clever.

"Master Ibaraki, don't you take a closer look at the contents above?" I asked knowingly, and opened the contents of this scroll to see that there were not many words on it, and even used simple pictures to express my meaning.

It is possible that the requester is not very literate. Even so, guessing words from pictures is one of my strengths, so I can probably see what is written in it.

"It doesn't matter, I don't want to look at things that can be solved with just one punch." He covered the top of my head with one paw.

I am quite interested in the content of the request letter, but the request letter did not tell us which monster we are dealing with.So he turned his head and asked Xiaobai: "Recently there have been incidents of stealing children one after another... Who is mentioned in the request letter for the reward seal?"

"Xiaobai doesn't know either, you can ask Master Qingming." Xiaobai replied honestly.

"I'm going with Sister Tianxiegui for this mission, so I don't need to inform Qingming." Ibaraki moved his paw away from my head, snatching the letter with the reward seal.

Sister Tianxiegui...

Thank goodness he finally got my name right.People who can call me by my name are all good people in my perception, and Ibaraki once again subverted my prejudice against him.

This is good, even I don't know what I'm thankful for.But...it doesn't conform to the rules to accept the task of offering a reward seal without informing Seimei.

After weighing the pros and cons in my stomach, I tugged on Ibaraki's sleeve and called out to him, "Master Ibaraki."

"What's wrong?" He turned his head to look over.

"It's nothing. My personal suggestion is that it's better to bring a few more partners. I have a hunch that the monster who stole children seems to be very strong." After I finished speaking, I unconsciously dodged his pair of hands golden pupils.

"You doubt my strength?" Ibaraki pinched my chin again with his paw, and brought the face I had just moved away to the right side, getting very close.

I didn't look into his eyes, but looked at his hair, so that I wouldn't be too nervous, and said, "No, it's just that I trust my intuition."

I said it was intuition, but actually I did a fortune-telling before going out, and found that today's fortune is not very good, it is not suitable to go out, and what kind of disasters will be encountered, I can't even come out.

"No need, I haven't figured out your strength yet." Ibaraki's face moved closer, and his voice became a whisper: "That kid punched you that day, but you didn't do anything, I'm sorry curious."

I fell silent.

That's true, that's right, I'm weak in destructive power, but I'm a natural meat shield.It is said that if a person was killed by others before he was alive, he would inadvertently gain high defense and life in order to protect himself after becoming a monster.

That's not a special strength, Ichimulian-sama is much better than me in this respect.So, is it because Ibaraki has been brooding over the fact that he and I lost in the game of guessing and guessing, and wants to find a chance to win and restore his dignity?

"Well... I don't know if it's appropriate to say that. Xiaobai would like to remind you... dating is forbidden in the dormitory. Please don't embarrass Xiaobai, my lords." Xiaobai's words suddenly awakened the dreamer.

Only then did I realize that Ibaraki's current posture is extremely ambiguous.

"Hmph, let's talk outside then, let's go." He dragged me out as if he suddenly lost interest, without turning his head.

I'm not sure if I'm going to do it well for the first time.At least I know that without Qingming, it will be very difficult to complete the task.Fortunately, there is no snow today, so my eyes are brighter.

After that, we walked to a village not far away according to the address described on the reward seal.

It is broad daylight, and every house in this small village is closed, as if hiding from something.The letter of the reward seal said that a monster who stole children was causing trouble, but that monster was only dispatched at night.What is even more unbelievable is that the corpses of the chickens, ducks and geese they raise are lying on the road or in the fields, and the smell is not a foul smell.

This scene shouldn't be a good sign.

In addition, on the hill behind the village, looming black clouds can be seen in the distance.When I reminded Ibaraki to look over, the black cloud dissipated.

What's even more strange is that Ibaraki didn't see the dead chickens, ducks and geese.He said that what he saw was that everything was alive and kicking, and there was no scene.As for the black cloud lingering over the mountain, as long as Ibaraki looks over it, it will disappear.

Should it be my problem?Is everything an illusion because of poor eyesight?But I never doubt that Ibaraki will be wrong, so I can only find the problem in myself.

A thin man poked his head through the crack of the door, and quickly closed the door in panic.

Ibaraki gave me a push and told me to go and have a look.

I entered a fenced yard and stood in front of the wooden house, thinking about how we should communicate our intentions for being here, how we would let them know that we meant no harm.I cleared my voice, lowered my voice, and knocked on the door in as gentle a tone as possible: "Excuse me, is there anyone?"

Sure enough, it worked. This time it was an old man who opened the door. He was staring at me with his mouth wide open.

"Ah——! Close the door! Close the door!" The man just now came from behind, and slammed the door desperately.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Judging from this situation, they probably won't open the door again.

How could Ibaraki wait obediently for others to open the door? He just kicked the door open, and blocked me at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and said to the man, "Hmph! That monster who stole children!" Where?"

The environment inside the house is simple, and the place to cook and the place to sleep are connected together.

The man hurriedly hugged his head and huddled in a corner, trembling, and murmured tremblingly: "Demon, monster... monster..."

"It will definitely be eaten...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" The old man just now buried his head under a mat in fright, exposing his bony feet.

Also, Ibaraki has horns and a ghostly hand, and always shows a fierce look, which naturally makes people imagine the kind of heinous monster.

I came out from the back and took a step forward, but Ibaraki stopped me from moving forward with one hand and did not let me get close to them. I had no choice but to stand still and apologize to them, and explained: "Sorry, we are the shikigami of Ampere Seimei. Those who came to disperse the monsters after receiving the mission were not ordinary monsters."

After listening to my explanation, they breathed a sigh of relief. Once Seimei's name was mentioned, everyone would trust him without reservation.Slowly, they began to greet us, poured tea that had just boiled, and handed it in front of us.Ibaraki grabbed the two teacups with one paw and poured them all into his mouth, preventing me from taking a sip.

All right, let him drink, I'm not very thirsty.

The old man looked at my face, and after thinking hard for a while, he said, "Miss, this looks familiar...isn't it..."

I shook my head: "Maybe I misunderstood the person, I've never been here before."

"No, the old man has poor eyesight, but you came here yesterday to beg for a sip of water to drink, and you also said to drive away the monsters." The old man is older, but he speaks exceptionally fluently, which also proves that he is not old-fashioned. , and his mind is very flexible.

"You mean, there was someone who looked exactly like her and did the same thing as her?" Ibaraki became interested and smiled, "Hmph, interesting."

That would be very bad, no wonder today's fortune shows that it is not suitable to go out, so there are such strange things.

Hearing the word [exactly the same] from Ibaraki, I panicked, and asked his opinion, "Master Ibaraki, let's go back and tell Master Seimei, otherwise..."

"With me here, what are you afraid of?" He put down his teacup, and touched the top of my head again.

Miraculously, I took his paw away: "If Lord Ibaraki insists on going, I will have to go back alone. This matter is not something we can handle. Besides, we haven't asked Lord Seimei for advice. Very appropriate."

This is a very serious matter, and I don't know what the consequences will be if I act without authorization.I pinched my fingers and couldn't figure out what kind of person the person who looked exactly like me was.

Perhaps, it is really necessary to go back and tell Qingming.

If Ibaraki is going to play, let him go, anyway, I dare not act rashly.

However, Ibaraki seemed to ignore what I said on purpose, and asked the old man again: "Did you see her alone yesterday?"

"She's all alone," replied the old man.

"Have you come here secretly?" Ibaraki asked me again.

I shook my head again to prove that I was not there: "No. My eyes are not very good. I stayed in the room yesterday and didn't go out."

He didn't ask any more questions, but suddenly carried me on his own shoulders, walked out the door, and walked towards the hill to the east.
