'Meow~'
After eating the dried fish, the little white cat licked the corners of its mouth and purred with satisfaction.
After confirming that the boy in front of him had nothing else to report, he immediately jumped onto the window sill and disappeared.
Being able to temporarily bring the cats in the Cat Castle under his command really made him get information much faster.
After withdrawing his gaze, Araya began to review his next plan.
At the moment, he has two routes to solve.
One is in the country of Tang.
This one is a beautiful country adjacent to the Land of Fire, with its own Ninja Village, Yugakure Village.
However, after the war, their combat power began to shrink due to various reasons, and they gradually became known as the "village that forgot the war" and advocated peace.
By the way, there is also a famous hot spring street there.
Shuzhu would probably like it there.
Huang suddenly remembered that his promise to a certain little monster had not yet been fulfilled.
The little guy also said to himself:
'Please don't lie to her. '
The other place is on the sea, more precisely on an island called Psychic Island.
The triggering opportunity should come from Katori and Korin.
[Instant Mission·Desperate Girl]
Mission description: Far away on a forgotten island, a group of researchers began to create psychic beasts that could satisfy ninjas.
At the same time, in order to control the ultimate psychic beast that was about to be conceived, they found a whirlpool survivor who was good at sealing.
However, what these researchers don't know is that the monster that fuses and swallows various psychic beasts has surpassed their imagination, and a catastrophe created by them is approaching!
Conditions to be met: Save the Uzumaki girl Honoka who suffered a disaster.
Mission reward: The blessing of the Uzumaki clan.
Task status: not completed
Time remaining: 57 days and 14 hours
(Ps: With the blessing of the Uzumaki clan, the upper limit of the host's chakra is permanently doubled. The degree of improvement is affected by the host's current state.)
The Uzumaki survivors who have mastered the power of the seal, plus the rewards that are enough to make up for their chakra shortcomings, if a mission appears, it would be a lie to say that they are not excited.
Of course, even those with no bonus rewards would choose to go.
Regarding the shortcomings in chakra, it has actually been solved with the emergence of a shikigami.
Summoning mission: [Blessings and misfortunes·Zashiki Warashi]
Description of the monster: A little monster that can bring good luck to people. She likes to hide under the floor. Coins, glass beads and other small shiny objects are inexplicably attracted to her.
However, while she brought wealth and luck to people, she also suffered injustice and suffering caused by human greed.
There is little laughter on its lovely cheeks.
I hope that one day, I can truly find someone who treats her sincerely.
Level: Mountain and Wild Monsters
Psychic conditions: Obtained approval from Xianglin (achieved)
[Where is the home where I can stay? 】
So, here comes Zashiki Warashi.
A little blue flame bloomed quietly in the house. Different from the strange and frightening cursed fire when the daughter of the ugly time came, the flame that fell into the field of vision had an inexplicable sense of peace.
At the same time, a petite figure quietly appeared.
She seemed to have not yet woken up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes with her fleshy little hands, and after silently inspecting the simple hut, she slowly said:
"Do you also want to gain wealth, Onmyoji?"
The little guy's voice is a little stiff and mechanical.
It seemed that she had repeated this many times.
"No."
"I need your strength."
"In exchange, I will grant you one wish."
Huang stared at the little girl in front of him and slowly denied.
"oh?"
"strength."
"It's really a novel statement."
Zashiki Warashi's eyes were still dull.
Looking at this humble residence, all the other person wants is money.
strength.
Wouldn’t one’s own strength bring wealth?
"Then, just let me go."
The little guy raised his eyes slightly and looked at the young man in front of him silently without any hesitation.
"This is my only wish."
she added.
This sentence caused Huang to fall into a brief silence.
"no."
Undoubted rejection was the answer after silence.
Take a look.
She knew it would be like this.
Human beings just want to imprison themselves and bring them wealth.
That's all.
However, Zashiki Warashi didn't say anything more, he just sat quietly on the wooden board, crossed his knees and stood still.
"But I won't imprison you here."
"Except when I need to borrow your power, you can go wherever you want."
Looking at the lost little monster, Huang said softly.
As soon as he said this, Zashiki Warashi's dull eyes trembled quietly, and he raised his eyes again to look at the onmyoji in front of him.
There were some doubts in his eyes, but more of them were scrutiny.
She has met many humans.
There are those who show greed without hesitation, there are those who are kind and kind on the outside but hypocritical in their hearts, there are those who complain bitterly and pray for sympathy...
But there is no doubt that they all just want to imprison themselves, bind themselves, and bring them wealth and luck forever and ever.
No.
Zashiki Warashi also met a kind old woman.
The old man never asked for anything, never made a wish for anything, and he never wanted to force her to stay. The only thing he actively asked him to do was to hammer her sore back.
only.
That person is no longer here.
It can bring wealth and luck, but it cannot cure illness.
"real?"
There was a slight wave in Zashiki Warashi's eyes.
For some reason, even though he has seen all kinds of human beings, he still has an inexplicable desire in his heart to find a real 'home' where he can stay.
Perhaps it was because the old woman had planted the seeds of hope in her.
"Um."
Huang nodded and lowered his body so that his eyes were level with him.
"I promise, please believe me."
He stretched out the back of his right hand and activated his power, and different monster marks appeared one after another.
This is a symbol of the contract.
However, Zashiki Warashi didn't pay attention to such a mark. He only glanced briefly and then withdrew his gaze, staring at the young man who was close to him.
Because what really made her feel sincere was that the onmyoji in front of her actually lowered her body to talk to her. In the past, those humans looked condescending.
This seemed to be an experience he had never had before.
After all, even those who are well-pretended to be kind and kind often reveal flaws in inadvertent details.
"Then I'll just trust you for once."
Zashiki Warashi turned away his eyes slightly and whispered.
At the same time, a group of clear blue flame marks slowly disappeared on the back of Huang's hand.
The contract was concluded successfully.
