People see the city and the city lord's mansion.
"The city lord is mine~~"
With a loud and high-pitched cry, the one-armed Ibaraki boy screamed and opened the bedroom door.
The new castle lord, Kiryu Ichizu, who was catching up on sleep because he stayed up late, was awakened by a demon with high mental power, and his unhappiness turned into anger on the spot.
"Ibaraki!
"
"Help, Kikyo-san!"
Ibaraki rushed to the yard and saw the miko Kikyo sitting under a tree. He immediately rushed over. His figure, which was originally taller than Kikyo, shrank into a ball as much as possible, with only his head sticking out from Kikyo's shoulders.
At Tenjin Elementary School, after researching for a while, Ibaraki discovered that there were two people who could save him from the angry Kiryu Ichito, one was Busujima Saeko and the other was Yamamura Sadako.
However, Busujima Saeko adheres to "women's reserve" and rarely refutes the decisions made by Kiryu Ichizu.
As for Yamamura Sadako, if being cute can really stop the angry Kiryu Ichizu... Ibaraki Dōji raised his head and looked at the highest roof of Hitomi Castle. The little girl in a white robe was facing the mountain wind, her mouth wide open.
Her black hair was blown by the wind like a carp streamer, and she got her wish and made a trembling sound of "Awa awa awa awa~" in the wind.
...Oh, it's just too silly and cute, so much so that it's more silly than cute. I don't know when, Sadako started to like this kind of strange behavior.
As a "ghost", although Ibaraki doesn't understand people, he can easily discover the small weaknesses of people's hearts. Just like now, Ibaraki discovered that Kiryu Yiyi admired and respected the miko Kikyo very much, so after getting into trouble, Ibaraki decisively asked Kikyo for help.
Kiryu Yishi was still wearing pajamas, holding Hajime's Zanpakutō, and came after him with monstrous flames: "I'm going to kill you!"
"Bikyou-san!
"
Faced with Ibaraki's request for help, Kikyo was helpless, but she was not someone who liked to interfere in other people's family affairs, so she said: "I have been working hard to purify the Shikon Jade, but the evil power has never dissipated."
When Kikyo changed the subject, Kiryu Yishi really gave Kikyo some face, but he just glared at Ibaraki and put away his sword.
"It doesn't matter, I have a way that can definitely purify the Four Souls Jade!" Kiryu Yiyi looked like he had everything under his control. Although Kikyo was curious, he didn't ask further.
The white-haired Sanmu girl Kannaya, who was holding a mirror, ran over in small steps and handed a coat to Kiryu Ichiru.
After Kagura dealt with Naraku, she turned into a gust of wind and disappeared. Wandering aimlessly was more suitable for her, but Kanna was not suitable for that kind of life, so she stayed in Shinjinjian Castle and became the lord of Shinjinmi Castle, Kiryu Ichizu. maid.
"That Four Souls Jade is nothing special at all. Those who need that kind of thing are just little monsters."
After realizing that he was not in danger, Ibaraki stood up and said eloquently: "Even if you put it in front of me, I will never be moved!"
"I believe you."
"I am indeed a ghost, or an evil ghost!" Ibaraki quickly pointed to the ghost horns on his forehead, trying to prove his identity.
"What are you going to do next...?" Kiryu looked at Kikyo.
Will it just disappear, or will it stay in this world forcibly?
"It's better to stay!"
Ibaraki immediately advised, "Live again in Kiryu Castle."
"What Kiryu Castle?"
"The name was just changed!" Ibaraki said proudly, "Suzuo and I found someone to change it overnight."
"...Yeah" Kikyo nodded slightly: "Maybe I can..."
"Then welcome!"
Kiryu Yiyi said: "There are a lot of youkai here, and they don't obey discipline. By the way, Kikyo, are you interested in joining Tenjin Elementary School? I think you are very suitable to be a teacher."
"I?"
"Yes, if any monster is disobedient, just shoot it with an arrow!" Kiryu gestured: "They must be very obedient."
"Sounds good," Kikyo smiled.
"I'm going over there to see how the wine is going," Kiryu Yiyi said, "I won't disturb your rest."
As soon as he turned around and took no more than two steps, Ibaraki immediately poked his head out from behind Kikyo, made faces at Kiryu, and stuck out his long tongue. As one of the most famous "ghosts" in the history of Japanese monsters, Ibaraki can be said to be the best at making faces. Say second.
"Sir," Kanna, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. She slightly raised the mirror in her arms and motioned for Kiryu to take a look.
Kikyo, Ibaraki Doji, and Kiryu Ichizu all saw Ibaraki making faces at Kiryu Ichizu in Kanna's mirror.
"Ibaraki!" Kiryu rushed towards Ibaraki Doji, raised his hand and punched him.
"ah!"
In addition to a pair of ghost horns, Ibaraki also had a bunch of buns on his head. He lowered his head and followed Kiryu Ichizu obediently. But if you look closely at his face, you will find that he is staring at the Mirror Demon God with a resentful look on his face. Wu was cursing the other party with lip language: "Report, puppy legs! puppy legs!"
"First Evolution"
"
Kikyo from behind looked at this scene and also smiled.
Watching Kiryu Yiyi leave with the two monsters, she had a strong feeling: "Probably, only he can make the monsters live in such harmony."
Without Kiryu Ichiru, Ibaraki Doji is still the murderer, and Kanna will still cause trouble in all directions just like following Naraku.
Monster Nue probably won't feed on monsters, but on humans.
The current harmonious and peaceful life is all because of Kiryu's first-rate presence.
The strength of these monsters is very terrifying, most of them are no less than Naraku, like the young boy Suzuo, who is an existence that Kikyo cannot see at all, and he is very respectful to Kiryu.
If something happens to Kiryu Yiichi one day, these monsters will definitely be out of control, even the gentle girl named Busujima Saeko, so... Kikyo decides to stay. If that day comes, she will risk her life Kill the out-of-control monsters.
The biggest possibility is that that day will never come, and I, who has become a monster, can probably live well with the monsters.
Every room in the City Lord's Mansion is now occupied by people. The residents who have been trapped in Tianshen Elementary School for too long are having fun after they come out.
He did not impose any restrictions. Busujima Saeko has already carried a sword to challenge the master swordsman of this era. Yuko, a slug girl, is very keen on delivering delicious food. Akuma... She slipped away as early as the first time, not knowing what she was doing. , probably being able to leave this highly involved monster team is a rare and precious opportunity for her to take a breather.
Suzuo is helping Kiryu to tame seven fantasy monsters.
Ebisu, a member of the fox demon clan, began to pretend to be the God of Inari and bring back a lot of tribute every day.
Kiryu Yiyi followed the scent of wine and found the location of the sake master monsters.
Shuten-Douji's gain buff can directly increase and multiply his strength, so good wine is indispensable. The Shuxian monsters are also developing new wine, trying to make it more delicious, more efficient, and longer-lasting.
This world can bring him not only fine wine, but also countless monsters.
Monsters = materials = forged weapons = recycled equipment = learning points!
Probably omitting the middle process, that is: monster = learning point.
Not just monsters, there are quite a few demons and monsters following him now, and all of them have the world's best appetites.
Busujima Saeko, who was once a big stomach eater, is now one of the most average eaters. People like Nue and Ibaraki can eat one or two cows without feeling full.
Under the expectant gazes of the brewmasters and monsters, Kiryu took the cup and took a sip of the wine brewed by the monsters.
"Not bad" he nodded.
The taste is sweet and the alcohol content is not high, but the alcohol content grows very fast, which is by no means comparable to wine blended with modern industrialized alcohol.
After receiving Kiryu's first-class praise, the Shuxian monsters danced excitedly.
Kiryu Yiyi said: "If you need anything else, tell me and I will find it for you."
When leaving the brewing place of the Brewmaster Yokai, Kiryu Ichizu held a long list.
"So many wild fruits? It seems that they are not available in modern society."
"Why don't we just activate the monsters to find them?"
The fox demon clan is the cheapest labor force.
That day, the foxes were let out and came back in the afternoon with various wild fruits in their mouths. However, Kiryu Yishi looked at the colorful fruits, some of which were poisonous at a glance, and there was even a corpse of a toad with its head chewed off among them.
He sighed, his hopes for the monsters were too high.
However, with his sharp eyes, among the pile of poisons, he saw a wild fruit, which was exactly what the list needed.
"Who found this fruit?" Kiryu asked as he picked up the wild fruit.
Ordinary wild fruits will definitely not grow just one, so this native wild fruit called "Yaoluo" has at least one tree full of fruits.
The foxes raised their heads, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally a familiar fox figure said: "I found it."
She was the fox bride that Kiryu first came into contact with.
"I exchanged it with Shanxia."
"Humans!" A flash of light flashed in Kiryu Yiyi's heart: "The only thing cheaper than monster labor is people!"
He immediately made a judgment: "You all dress up like humans and hide your tails, go to villages, towns and other places to buy the wild fruits on the list... Just open a shop and buy them for a long time!"
Naraku robbed Hitomi Castle, but he didn't need gold and silver, and the lowest level monsters didn't like gold and silver, so piles of gold and silver were piled up in the treasure house. Yesterday, when Kiryu Yiichi went to check, he found that the treasure house was empty. The door was broken, and there wasn't even a little monster standing guard at the door.
He couldn't get the money back to the main world, but he could use it in this world.
"Shop? How to open it?" The fox demons were confused.
"You guys... forget it, I'll teach you!"
Kiryu Yiyi waved his hand: "Before we do this, we must divide into groups and transform into people one by one. I will first take a look at your basic skills in sorcery."
…
Renjian City has appeared in many places, and will soon disappear without a trace, leaving only mirage-like legends.
There is a village here where various medicinal herbs are grown.
A strong and tall figure carried a huge hoe, making a loud "winter" sound with every step he took, and walked towards the field.
"The monster is coming!"
Two farmers carrying hoes chatting in the field saw the huge figure and lowered their voices to discuss.
When the huge figure approached, they forced out a smile: "Oh, it's Di Nian'er!"
"Hello," Di Nian'er responded with a smile, but the expression on his half-demon face looked too scary and ugly.
When the half-demon Di Nian'er walked away, the two gathered together and chatted quietly: "If it weren't for that terrifying half-demon, who would be chatting with this monster?"
"that is!"
People's rejection of aliens is more terrifying than imagined. Even if there is a misunderstanding and the misunderstanding is solved, people will not accept an alien.
People who gossip about others behind their backs have never disappeared for thousands of years.
Di Nian'er's ears were very sensitive, but he didn't make a sound. He was very satisfied that everyone was willing to pretend to be friendly in front of him.
"A merchant is here to purchase medicinal materials!"
On the ridge of the field, someone shouted.
Behind him, a carriage was approaching across the field.
A man and a woman, they look like a couple.
The clothes the two of them wore were very gorgeous. They were made of legendary and precious silk, which reflected light in the sun. I couldn't imagine how soft it would be when worn on their bodies.
But the walking posture of these two people was a bit strange. They seemed to be walking with their legs crossed, as if something would fall out if they opened their legs.
"I heard there are a lot of medicinal herbs here." The man cleared his throat and pinched his goatee unnaturally and said, "As long as you can take out the medicines on my list, I can accept them no matter how much they are."
The woman whispered in his ear: "Have you forgotten the master's special instructions?"
"Oh, I almost forgot!" The man was startled and said quickly: "Is there anyone who knows herbal medicine? I can give you a piece of gold and hire him to buy medicinal materials for me in the village."
If Kiryu Yiichi were here and saw two half-hearted monsters squandering their gold without any idea, he would definitely pull out the Ryukenwaka and try roasting the fox.
"Gold?"
"What, gold!"
"Are you kidding me?"
"I, I know all kinds of herbs!"
"I'm the one who really knows you!"
After a short period of admiration, the farmers who gathered around began to rush to recommend themselves.
That's gold!
Seeing that everyone was about to fight, the man clapped his hands: "Then let's have a competition and I will test you."
Although he doesn't understand currency trade in the human world, as a fox demon, he is not stupid.
It is not difficult to find a truly capable person among a group of people.
He kept circling in the field, and in a short time he had folded a lot of various medicines.
"Come and identify what these medicines are. Whoever says the most is correct will be hired."
The fox demon doesn't understand pharmacology, but he only needs to use the elimination method and observe people's expressions to get rid of a batch of useless ones.
This is also true. At the beginning of the medicine identification activity, 26 of the 30 medicine farmers gathered around were thrown away because the fox had to be very smart and hold a medicine plant, stop beside everyone, and ask them to whisper to themselves Give the name of the medicine and its efficacy.
Only 4 people gave the same answer.
The remaining four people did have some skills, and they all answered three medicines in a row. When it came to the fourth medicine, some people started to hesitate, and they all stumbled over their answers.
“This is a pill that treats redness and swelling!”
"This is medicine for fever"
"This is the medicine for men!"
Everyone present had no impression of this medicine. If it was grown here, someone should know it, but the result was that no one knew it.
When the fourth person arrived, the half-demon Di Nian'er said: "Those seem to be the branches and leaves of Yao Luo, not medicine."
"bingo!"
The only thing the fox demon knows is Yao Luo, because this thing was scolded by Kiryu Yiyi.
Under everyone's envious gaze, Di Nian'er got a piece of gold as big as a child's hand, and the half-demon Di Nian'er also took on the responsibility of identifying herbs.
It only took half a day for Di Nian'er to become the half-demon that everyone avoided, and became a favorite in everyone's eyes. Everyone had already figured out that the rich couple didn't know anything about medicinal materials and only needed Di Nian'er. Nian'er nodded. Ordinary medicinal materials can be sold at a good price, and the price can double!
"Di Nian'er, do you want a wife or not?"
"Di Nian'er, my family caught a pheasant tonight, and it was crowing just because of it. Are you going to eat chicken at my house?"
"Di Nian'er..."
"Di Nian'er..."
But no matter what this group of people said, Di Nian'er did his duty faithfully. He didn't let anyone take advantage of him, but he didn't let anyone suffer either.
Di Nian'er, who had been dazed by everyone's praises all day long, went home with a bag of money. He grew the best herbs and sold the most.
After returning home, Di Nian'er looked at her elderly mother: "Mother~"
"Why, are you being bullied again?" The old mother turned around and grabbed the stick beside her: "I'll go find those bastards!"
"no!"
Di Nian'er shook his head and quickly told his mother what happened today.
"Those are a pair of great benevolent people," the old mother said, "Di Nian'er, you must collect the medicine for those two adults well, and you must not let them down."
"Yes, they are businessmen from Kiryu City."
"Kiryu Castle?"
Similar scenes were constantly staged in various places during the Warring States Period.
