I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

At noon on the second day after escaping from "White Wing Lord", Shinji, who was injured and exhausted, finally couldn't hold on any longer and could only drift while sleeping with his face facing the sky and his back against the water. Of course, before going to bed, he didn't forget to set up the concealment and alert magic in advance.

He slept peacefully from noon to evening. The sun was about to set. Just when Shenji opened his eyes and prepared to stretch his muscles, he found that there was a black cat on his body. At that time, the black cat was Bite his right hand.

Shenji was stunned, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.

Where did this guy come from? How did he get through the protection and come to me?

No, that’s not what we should be concerned about. We must first determine whether it is Ottenrose’s familiar. An ordinary black cat would not run into the middle of the Po River and bite my right hand.

Right hand, right hand!

curse! ! !

Damn it, if the curse gets worse—

Uh. Uh.

It doesn't seem to be getting worse, it's getting a little better, is it an illusion?

No, it's not an illusion. It has indeed been relieved. Could it be that something happened to the relic while I was asleep? Or was he eaten by a black cat?

Thinking of this, Shenji himself laughed.

Having inherited the Scathach legacy, I am well-informed, but I have never heard of a cat that can eat curses. Besides, even if there was, it shouldn't have happened to him by chance. It was the day after he was cursed.

But soon, he overturned his original idea - the black cat that suddenly appeared did have the ability to swallow curses. Every once in a while, it would bite Shinji's right hand and swallow up some of the curses.

And this move also dispels the doubt that it is the familiar of Otten Rose. Otten Rose will not be so boring. He will first curse you and then send a familiar that can swallow the curse to your door.

So, what exactly is this black cat? And why does it appear here?

With such doubts in mind, Shinji began to interact with the black cat.

"Come, tell me, where are you from and how did you find me?"

"." Black Cat glanced at Shenji without any response.

"Are you hungry? Let me catch you a fish to eat?"

"." The black cat lay down.

"Well, at least make some noise."

"." The black cat closed his eyes.

"So cold." Shen Er felt helpless.

But he didn't give up. Whether it was a coincidence or someone deliberately sent the black cat to him, he planned to keep the black cat by his side. He had not yet made a demon, and this extraordinary black cat was so appealing to him.

So the protracted war began.

During the day, he slept and played with the cats, and at night he was very energetic, half of which was used to escape and the other half to fight against the curse.

The curse of Ottenrose is very strange. It becomes extremely active every night, and there will be an outbreak from time to time, which makes Shenji miserable.

In this state, Shenji could only hide in the Po River like a savage, eating raw fish when he was hungry and drinking water from the Po River when he was thirsty. This lasted for more than half a month. In other words, he was physically strong and protected by relics, but others would have been unable to bear it long ago and became a floating corpse in the Po River.

Until one day, a quarter of the curse entwined on his right arm was swallowed by a black cat. Shinji was able to devote some of his energy and magic power to other things, and one person and one cat ended their life in the water.

Shinji's hair and eyebrows also fell out during this period. Although Ottenrose's curse was suppressed by the Buddha's light, this suppression was not complete. During the struggle, small curses would occasionally break through the blockade and spread to whole body.

Because it was only a small part, it did not cause substantial damage to Shinji's strong body, and was quickly expelled by the body's immune system and magic power - through the pores.

When the curse was expelled, the neglected and relatively fragile hair was affected and became necrotic and fell off. As a result, as Lorelaia and Sakura saw, their heads were shiny and bald.

"——In other words, you still don't know what it is?"

After listening to Shinji's narration, Lorelaia said this.

"As you said." Shen Er nodded and shook his head, "But it doesn't matter what it is. What's important is that it helped me, so I have to keep it. As long as it is willing to follow me, I will keep it for the rest of my life."

"Aren't you worried about what dangers are hidden behind it?" Lorelaiya reminded.

"I have survived the most dangerous ten days, so there is nothing to worry about." Shenji smiled confidently, "If there is any danger, just come over."

"You seem to be a little different?" A strange light flashed in Lorelaia's eyes.

"People always change, let alone what happened after something like this."

In the past, Shenji always believed that he was not strong enough and had to be cautious. Even being cowardly was better than losing his life. But after escaping from "White Wing Duke", Shen Er found that his strength did not seem to be that weak, and he had a little more confidence when facing danger.

Of course, it's one thing for him to have confidence, but it's another thing for his family to be worried.

"You're not worried. Your mother and I are still worried." Father Heye was the first to speak. "You haven't heard from you for a month. Your mother and I are worried to death. Can you think about it for us?"

"Yes, yes." Kariya spoke for the second time, "Although the Matou family is not a famous family, it is still a small and powerful family, and we are very satisfied. Compared with the development of the family, those of us who are the elders I hope you guys can be safe and sound, and you don’t want Ying to worry about you, right?”

"Brother--" Sakura took Shinji's hand and launched a direct eye attack.

"There's really nothing we can do about you." Shen Er's face showed a hint of helplessness, happy helplessness, "I will pay attention to it in the future and won't let you worry anymore. But after all, Lian saved me, I will definitely raise him, and so will you. You don’t want me to be an ungrateful person.”

"That's true." He thought for a while and said.

"Is it called Lian?" Sakura lowered her head and cautiously brought her face closer, "It's a really cute name. I'll prepare some cat food for it."

"No need." Shenji waved his hand to his sister, "It has no need for food in the conventional sense. I fed it fish before, and it would only eat a few bites when it was in a good mood."

"This is so weird." Sakura blinked at Ren.

Behind her, Yan Ye said thoughtfully: "It seems like we should really investigate its origin."

Just when Kariya was contemplating whether to go into the underground library to look for information, a cold voice came from above, and a woman with long silver hair walked down the stairs.

"No need to look it up, I know what it is."

Shenji raised his head and faced a face that was too delicate to look like a human: "Justeza, you are here."

"Welcome back, Shenji." There was obvious softness on the cold face.

"Ah, I'm back." Shen'er's mouth also curved in a gentle arc, "By the way, you said you know what it is?"

"Well, I know, it's a dream demon."

When the word "succubus" came out, the black cat suddenly opened its eyes and bared its teeth at Justice.

Shenji gently patted the black cat on the back, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became wider and wider.

"It seems that the name 'Lian' is really correct."
