[Natsume] A place that only wings can reach

The beauty of boundaries.

However, in the later stages of the 'Dance of the Demon God', more demonic power would be consumed, and this was not a one-time consumption. With the demonic power he sensed from her just now, it was indeed very difficult to complete it.

"Yusha, what will you do?" Natori Yiyi muttered to himself, suddenly caught a glimpse of a black dot approaching her quickly, regardless of the warning Yusha gave him just now, shouted, "Yusha!! Be careful!!!"

The great consumption of demon power had already caused cold sweat to break out on Yu Sha's forehead, but she felt the familiar demon power behind Yinhu rushing towards her.

The light on her body was so strong that it overwhelmed the vivid formations on the ground, intersecting one after another in the ground, surrounding most of the forest, and the monsters on the ground were stunned to find anything , only a few monster leaders lowered their heads and moved.

【silver!what are you up to? ! ! 】

The silver fox made seals with both hands, and the chains formed by the condensed demon power jumped out of the circular formation in the air, tightly binding the feather yarn in the air so that it could not move.

[Let you survive. 】

In an instant, the first thing Natori Monday felt was not the malice from the big monsters around him, but the monster power from his body was sucked away like a tide, and then all of them poured into the red makeup girl in the forest.

The strange thing is that the monsters looked at the direction of the feather yarn in the air without moving, and the music between their eyebrows reflected golden runes. Only the human beings were only drained of part of the monster power, and did not lose consciousness.

The natural barrier formed by the thick demon power above the forest trees was suddenly broken, and a demon and a person appeared in the sky indistinctly.

little redemption

"Son, do you know the legend of 'Dance of the Demon God'?"

The humanoid fox demon, which is half taller than the silver fox, is sitting by the stream, with century-old knee-length silver hair scattered in the cool spring water, wearing a simple and solemn kimono, if not for the pair of fox ears and tail, it looks like a human being young woman.

"I don't know oh, what kind of a story is that, mother?"

The little silver fox lay obediently in the arms of the fox demon, with the quilt brushing its hair one by one, squinting its eyes comfortably, listening to the soft voice of its gentle mother.

"Demon God, literally means the god of monsters, who can control all monsters. Long, long ago, there was such a big monster leader, but after a long time, other monsters gradually felt unfair, so they worked together to eliminate The leader of the big monster has been lost."

The curious baby raised his head and tilted his head, "Will you be killed even though you are already a demon god?"

"That's a good question! The reason why monsters can become demon gods is because they have extremely huge demon power, and second...the so-called gods are formed by gathering the power of belief from others—so once the belief disappears, Naturally, the demon god no longer possesses the body of a god." She paused, then smiled slightly, "The demon god is also the guardian of justice, so probably any monster will never be able to become a demon god."

"Then...'Dance of the Demon God' has completely lost its meaning! Anyway, there will be no more demon gods!"

"That's not entirely true. The 'Dance of the Demon God' is a magic formula composed of ancient monsters such as tigers and leopards that have been passed down from the era of the demon gods, and then the fox demon. It can achieve the same effect as the demon god in a short time."

"Hey - it's so amazing! Can't this effect last forever?"

The fox demon obviously didn't expect that the little silver fox would ask such a question, and was a little taken aback, then smiled and wanted to say something.

Suddenly there was the steady and regular sound of clogs on the ground behind him, accompanied by the rustling of bamboo leaves, the fox demon took the little silver fox into his arms, and glanced back vigilantly.

"Meiji, it's almost time to start."

The little silver fox obviously felt that the arms tightly hugging him loosened, and the fox demon called "Mei Ji" suddenly relaxed.

"Miss Yu, don't scare me."

"This yard is not allowed to allow other monsters to step in. Those who violate it will be killed without mercy." Hearing this, the little silver fox bared her teeth and looked over her shoulder, but was pushed back by her mother, only to hear the cold and immature The girl's voice, "Even if it is related to you, the monster in your arms will not be spared."

Immediately, Meiji carried the little silver fox to another section of the stream, the entrance of the forest, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Damn humans!How dare you be so arrogant!

The little silver fox glared at the little girl viciously, and in return gave him a nonchalant glance without any emotion, and just swept across his fur as if looking at an object.

Human children also have such a hollow appearance...

The little silver fox, who was curious about her, subconsciously took a step outside, and a scratch with flames appeared on the front lawn immediately. Through the distorted air at the top of the flame, it was Meiji begging the girl in panic and the girl's green onion. A talisman pointed at him between the fingers.

A cold voice sounded directly from the bottom of my heart.

[Try a step closer here. 】

His mother shook her head at him with tears in her eyes. The little silver fox was unwilling to pounce on and bite the humans in the mansion, but knew that she was not capable enough, so she had to go back to the forest step by step, watching from a distance. My own mother was captured by humans to "serve" a little girl!

"Miss Yu, thank you for your kindness of not killing the dog!" In the corridor of the antique mansion, the beautiful fox demon suddenly knelt down on the little girl who stopped in front of the mountain, with his forehead pressed against the ground , "I know that to spare a monster in this place is really..."

"Don't get me wrong." The girl lowered her head and said calmly, "I don't care whether I kill it or not. Anyway, if it grows up to have bad luck, other members of my family will take care of it."

The fists hidden under the wide sleeves were tightly clenched, and the fox demon trembled a little.

"Miss Yu thinks that human beings kill monsters for no reason and use them like slaves. Are these all correct?"

"Hmm...it really can't be said to be correct."

Miki met those eyes that made her shiver with cold but were so beautiful.

"However, I don't think there is anything wrong. Besides, Meiji, your ambition is too obvious. I can turn a blind eye to it, but if I let my brother know..."

……

patter

……

Like a drop of water rippling on the water surface, Natsume snapped back to his senses on Madara's back. They had escaped from the sky and came to the protective circle that Natori Monday had drawn in the distance. The cat teacher turned back into a cat lay beside him.Natsume barely stood up with his head propped up.

"Yo, Natsume~" Natori Monday greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Famous Song? Why are you here... um!"

"Well, Yusha sauce and I are old acquaintances. But you, why did you suddenly faint, are you okay?"

With the huge demon power close by, Natsume frowned worriedly as he looked at the glowing feather veil floating in the sky.

"I saw the memory, but the girl inside is completely different from the current Yusha."

Natori Monday thought for a while, then smiled cheerfully: "It's probably Yusha's childhood memory. After all, there was an accident, and even I couldn't recognize it at that time."

"……ACCIDENT?"

"If it's Yu Shachan's childhood memory, then you should also know Meiji, that fox demon."

Natsume nodded, and Teacher Cat raised her head suddenly when she heard the name.

"The previous 'Dance of the Demon God' was actually in the North Forest, but during the first 'Dance of the Demon God' ten years ago, her family took advantage of its ability to gather and control monsters. All the monsters have been slaughtered."

"But!" Natori Monday interrupted what Natsume was about to say with a smile, "Where's that fox, Miki—I wanted to borrow the power of Yusha's "Dance of the Demon God" to become a demon god by myself, but all the monsters were suppressed by Yusha. Her family has been wiped out, and the insufficient monster power has to be taken from Yusha herself, so...well, you are not suitable to listen to what she did to Yusha. It is always her family who finally captures the leader of the sea clam. , took away the 'source of life' in front of her to save her demonic power and life."

"Yusha-chan is actually very painful, not only because of the blatant cruelty of humans, but also the fact that she realized that 'youkai themselves have their own emotions just like humans'."

Natsume was stunned for a moment, clenched his fist unconsciously, turned around and ran towards Yusha's place.

brush--

The face of the silver fox suddenly appeared in front of Natsume, and he turned over to avoid the attack of the silver fox, "Silver! What are you going to do?! Miki is your mother, right? Revenge?!"

Seeing that the move didn't stop him, Yinhu stepped on the air and immediately returned to Natsume, staring at him coldly.

"Revenge? How is it possible! How can you, who broke into Miss Yu's life halfway, understand my feelings for Miss!!!"

Well, it turned out to be a rival in love.

Natori sat on the sidelines, waving his fan and watching the play.

"Indeed, it's only been a few months since I met Yusha, and even the time I've been friends with monsters is just over half a year. It can't be compared with you and Yusha, who have been dealing with monsters since a very early age." Natsume took a step forward without looking sideways, and grabbed the skirt of the silver fox, "But if you impose your own thoughts on Yusha, will she be happy? She knows that monsters have more delicate emotions than humans. , hurt many monsters because of your selfishness, it will only increase the pain!"

"like
