[Comprehensive] It's hard to fall in love

According to the stick figure map drawn by Kagome, the two passed through several villages smoothly, and they would reach their destination after half a day's walk. Ayane felt that the big stone that had weighed on her heart for the past few days was much lighter.

Saiki Kusuo caught a few fish in the stream, and the two of them went to the next Granny Feng's village in one go after lunch.

Ayane grilled the fish on the fire that Qimu lit, Qimu leaned on the tree trunk and watched her silently, the atmosphere was quiet for a while, only the rustling wind and the crackling sound of the flames licking the firewood in the forest.

Not long after, she picked up two skewers of grilled fish and was about to hand them to Qi Mu when a gust of wind blew past her face, and Ayane subconsciously closed her eyes.Then there was a huge roar, and when he opened his eyes again, Saiki Kusuo had already picked her up by the waist and stood in mid-air.

The place where they were just now was swallowed up by black flames, and the air was filled with a depressing and powerful evil spirit.

"Are you the one who hurt my best friend?"

The man in black with silver hair and horns on his forehead laughed loudly and said, "They are just two inferior human beings, so make up your mind! Today is your death day!"

Qi Mu looked solemn, bowed his head and told Ayane: [This monster is not easy to deal with, I will send you to a safe place first. ]

The big monster in red armor on the opposite side sneered disdainfully: "Why, are you discussing how to escape? You really underestimated me, Ibaraki Doji!"

Ayane noticed that one of his sleeves was empty, and when she thought of the legend about the big monster in history, she felt even more disturbed, "Is it really that Ibaraki-dou... Why did he come to trouble us?"

[This guy is supposed to be here for Shuten-douji. ] Saiki protected her from several black flame attacks from Ibaraki, and put her on a big tree at the edge of the forest in a flash.

[Wait for me here, be back soon. ]

Ayane still held the two skewers of grilled fish in her hand. Hearing this, she suppressed the worries in her heart, and instead comforted him, saying: "It's okay, I can summon Xiaomao and I can block it a little bit. Heart."

Saiki Kusuo smiled slightly: [Don't believe me? ]

Before Ayane could answer, Qi Mu quickly teleported back.

There were crashing sounds one after another in the forest, and billows of black smoke rose into the sky. When Ayane was nervously watching the battle over there, she suddenly felt her hair was pulled by something.

She turned her head and saw a red severed hand floating behind her. The severed hand seemed to be alive, and it moved very nimbly. It opened its sharp claws and grabbed her.

Ayane quickly stuffed two skewers of grilled fish into his hands.

The severed hand paused for a moment, as if he didn't know how to react. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Saiki temporarily shook off Ibaraki Doji, teleported over to pick her up, and then stepped on the obtrusive branches , and galloped towards the direction of the bone eating well.

Ibaraki Doji chased after him closely, but Saiki was still faster. The whirring wind and the sound of flames blasting hit their ears. At this critical juncture, the hair of the two entangled, The heartbeat gradually coincided.

The last scene that Ayane saw was the ancient square well covered with green vines in the shade of the trees.

The mouth of the well emitted a dazzling white light, and by the time Ibaraki Doji chased him over, he could no longer sense the breath of Saiki and the two of them.

"Hmph, have you escaped..."

He flung a black flame over to burn the well, but a circle of gentle spiritual power swayed from the seemingly ordinary well and bounced the black flame away.

Ibaraki frowned, knowing that he was doomed to return in vain this time, so he turned around with a grim expression, ready to go back home.

He moved his lips slightly, and uttered a spell to summon back his severed hand, only to see the ultimate weapon named "Hand of Hell" flying towards him, and brought back two skewers of steaming grilled fish.

Ibaraki Doji: "???"

In modern times 500 years later, Saiki Kusuo jumped up from the bottom of the well with Ayane in his arms, and found a shrine outside.Under the god tree, the boy who was doing his homework on the small wooden table heard the movement, raised his head and shouted:

"Sister! Come back..." His voice of surprise stopped abruptly, and he asked after a long pause, "Who are you?"

"You should be the younger brother Kuota-san that Kagome mentioned, right?" Ayane smiled and squatted in front of him, "Hello, we are your sister's friends."

Looking directly at her face from a close distance, Sun Mucao blushed, "Uh...um! I'm Caota, hello big sister!"

"Thanks to her, we came back successfully." She stroked Cao's soft hair and said with a smile, "Next time I see her, please say hello to your sister for us."

After Ayane finished speaking, Saiki Kusuo, who had been trying to locate just now, turned around:

[This is Shizuoka Prefecture, we can teleport back directly. ]

"I'm sorry for your trouble, Qi Mu-jun." Perhaps it was because she was more timid due to the closeness to her hometown, so Ayane began to feel uneasy.

Qi Mu held her hand, [Don't worry, no matter what happens, we will face it together. ]

However, he may have said this sentence a bit early——

Qi Mu thoughtfully took Ayane to the yard of her house first. He had expected about fifty kinds of reactions from his uncle and aunt when they saw them, but when the two opened the door, they saw Ayane's parents, Qi Mu's parents, When Seiichi Yukimura and Kongsuke Saiki looked at the whole room with twelve eyes looking at them, they were still so frightened that their hearts stopped beating.

Ayane: [Steady, steady...it's just a small scene! ]

Qi Mu: [... Is there a joint trial in three courts? ]

Saiki Kongsuke first broke the silence: "Ah~ Look, I just said that Kusuo and the others will come back today."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

In the next second, both mothers ran over crying and hugged their children in their arms.

"Xiao Nan! Even if you want to get married now, your parents won't object! How could you elope with Xiao Ling!?"

Ayane: [... Huh?elopement? ]

"Xiaoling! Why didn't you tell mom about you and this child earlier? Even if dad disagrees, mom will help persuade him. There's no need to run away from home!"

Ayane squeezed out a stiff smile and tried to explain: "Mom, you misunderstood, Qi Mu-kun and I are not..."

"Okay, don't talk about it, as long as you are willing to come back." Ayane's mother interrupted her, and kept stroking her long hair that was dull because of the wind, food, and camping, feeling sore in her heart. Aunt Kurumi also wiped away her tears and took her hand :

"Xiao Ling, don't worry, if our Kusuo dares to treat you badly in the future, Auntie will definitely teach him a lesson for you!"

The smile on Ayane's face froze: "Aunt Kurumi..."

Saiki Kusuo looked at the three of them without changing his face, met his elder brother's interested gaze, and secretly said:

[…With that guy around, I knew it would be like this. ]

The author has something to say:

Hand of Hell (Xi Zizi): Big brother just grilled fish!

Ciqiu (incompetent and furious): I am your father! !
