Early in the morning, Kikyo left the village with a dazed Ling.

The sky was slightly bright, and he found a mountain stream and ravine, woke up Ling, and after washing it with cold river water, he simply collected some mountain fruits and dealt with them hastily.

The fruit was a little sour, and Ling's little face wrinkled together, but she still finished eating.

Kikyo discerns the lower position, and is still in the Tokyo metropolitan area, close to a remote and undeveloped area.

Along the way, there were no people, and when the scattered dead soul worms returned, the trimmed Kikyo took Ling on the road again.

Some long hikes...

Rei sat on the dead soul worm, and Kikyo walked forward, taking in the scenery along the way, and in addition, it was to look for traces of youkai.

It's hard to detect from the air, but if you're on the ground, it's rewarding to observe carefully.

The faint demonic aura left behind when the monster passed by...

It was about nine o'clock in the morning.

With a new discovery...

It is still a large number of demonic qi gathered, just in the mountains and forests.

Summoning the Dead Soul Worm and carrying it into the mountain.

Walking through the trees, Ling chuckled happily during the somewhat fast and exciting flight.

Look, Kikyo found something, a little monster.

Shhhhh

Slowly approaching from behind.

"Wow!" Ling yelled at Kikyo's side.

Immediately after, a bigger exclamation came from the mouth of the little monster, and the figure of pouting and moving stones to find insects to eat sat unsteadily on the ground.

Ling grabbed Kikyo's trouser leg and giggled.

Kikyo looked at the naughty Ling with some amusement, and turned to look at the little monster.

It doesn't look big, the actual age may be older than himself, less than a meter tall, wearing a sackcloth, with two white rabbit ears on his head, when he turned his head, the little monster's blood-red eyes looked innocently at the bellflower, half loud, quickly filled with teardrops and mist.

It's a girl...

"Don't cry yet, little one, what are you doing?"

"Looking for breakfast...", the rabbit spirit said with a sniffle, looking at the bellflower with a strong cringe.

It's a shrine maiden...

It's dead this time...

As everyone said, it will become the trophy of the witch-sama's demon slaying, and the head will be cut off and placed on the table for viewing, and the fur will be stripped off and draped over the body...

As he thought about it, the little guy shuddered fiercely.

"Haven't you eaten yet? Aren't you a graze? "Kikyo is a little surprised, and most of the herbivorous animal monsters are very docile and not aggressive.

"Occasionally, I want to change the taste..."The little guy stood in place, not daring to move, his fingers nervously twisting the corners of his clothes.

"Looking for bugs?"

The little guy nodded obediently and looked at the bellflower nervously.

"Ling, let's share some of her food." Kikyo bowed his head and smiled softly.

Hearing this, Ling took off the schoolbag behind her, with a bright smile on her face, ran to the little rabbit, grabbed a handful of colorful candy wrappers and took out the little rabbit's hand, and put it in the palm of her hand.

The little rabbit was a little confused, looking at Ling's smiling face, and unconsciously, a smirk smile rose on his face.

"Let's eat~ It's all delicious..."

Saying that, afraid that the little rabbit would not know how to unpack, he demonstrated peeling off the sugar coating, throwing a candy into his mouth, and squinting with a happy expression on his face.

The little monster was still disassembled and thrown into his mouth, and in an instant, his eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Ling in a daze.

"Delicious, right?" Ling asked with a smile.

The little rabbit shook its head up and down, its cheeks bulged, and the candy rolled on the tip of its tongue.

The bellflower who watched quietly smiled, and it looked like he had been successfully bought.

"What's your name?"

"Bunny." The little rabbit monster said, his face didn't feel inappropriate, his cute little face puffed out his cheeks, and his big blood-red eyes blinked at the bellflower, and the hostility was gone.

That's no name...

I probably know, but let's ask.

"Where's your father?"

"It's been eaten...", blinking his big innocent eyes, the little rabbit had no sadness on his face, and told the terrifying truth.

The law of the jungle is always the main theme in the monster society, and the red fruit is cold.

"Hmm...," Kikyo nodded knowingly.

If the person concerned does not feel sad, there is no need to show a sympathetic expression, otherwise, it will make the person concerned at a loss.

Continue to ask, "How long have you been living here?" ”

The little rabbit was stunned...

Stopped by this question!

Frowning and thinking for a long time, the bellflower was not in a hurry, and waited quietly.

In the middle of the sound, the little rabbit began to count his fingers, sat down with a butt, counted his toes, counted back and forth many times, and then fainted...

The little body crooked and fell to the ground...

Kikyo twitched the corners of his mouth a little weakly.

"If you don't know, you don't want to..."Kikyo said weakly.

Ling looked at the little rabbit and said with a smile: "You are so stupid, you can't count, I can count to 100 now!" "Proudly showing off the results of Kikyo's teaching.

The little rabbit sat up straight, blinked and looked at the bellflower, a little anxious, and a little wanted to cry, and said, "Sister Witch, it's been a long, long time anyway!" ”

"Winter has come so many times, every time I am hungry to death, and spring is coming again, I am so happy, so happy!"

How the hell did this little guy survive?

"When my father and mother died, I was very scared, so I came here, and everyone in the mountains was very good, so I stayed."

The little rabbit began to say as he poured the beans into the bamboo tube.

What a bird sister, a pig brother, a flower sister's...

Judging by the description, they are all a group of kind monsters, and the mountain god in the mountain is an immovable mountain that shelters them here...

It is a pure land in troubled times.

Kikyo is a little clear and has found the wrong place by himself.

However, you still have to check it out for yourself.

"Little guy, where is everyone?"

"Well, everybody's in the nest." The little rabbit said dryly.

It's really a lazy daily life, and when you're hungry, you come out to find food, right?

"Are there any fierce youkai?"

The little rabbit nodded and said, "There is a big one-eyed black bear, and I always walk around him, but he usually fishes in the river." ”

It's not this kind of fierceness!

It's called ruthlessness and kindness...

Kikyo touched the rabbit's head, and sighed inexplicably in the rabbit's somewhat shy and obedient expression.

After chatting about other things, Kikyo asked the little rabbit to lead the way to the mountain god.

This land, too, the mountain god may have a little knowledge...

This kind of god who is willing to protect the weak monster is generally very kind and easy to negotiate.

The two little ones chattered and walked in front, and when they held hands, they had quickly established a simple friendship, each with a lollipop, and when they licked happily, they did not forget to hum a ballad.

One teaches and sings, and the other learns out of tune...

Inexplicably, the bellflower is relaxed, and his mind is not very urgent...

In the quiet mountain forest, the sun is just right, the branches on the trees, and the sparrows in the mountains stand in rows, curiously looking at the three people passing by the grass and flowers.

Occasional small animals, not afraid of raw speed running by.
