Zongman: I was a ninja in the age of monsters

Four days later.

There are less than twelve hours left before the arrival of the [Day of Trial].

This was the last time, and there should have been plenty of rest and resupply.

Kikyo suggested going out for a walk.

Of course, it didn’t go far.

The Ghost Festival is approaching, and the demon qi gradually covers the heavens and the earth.

In this case, even as a living god, it is difficult for her to leave the village too far.

“Right here.”

She took the South Star to a rocky platform.

The raised rock platform seems to be a natural observation deck. Standing on it, you can overlook the beautiful natural scenery below the mountain.

Nanxing stood beside Kikyo while looking.

What appeared in front of him was an emerald green forest.

A river meanders, like a white jade ribbon running across the emerald curtain.

Surrounded by mountains and waters, the Tibetan wind gathers qi.

From a feng shui point of view, this is probably a feng shui treasure land.

“So, did you pick me a good place to bury my bones?”

Nanxing smiled and said something unlucky towards Kirito.

Kikyo didn’t care.

She swore that she would not let Nanxing die here.

At least, definitely not to die in front of her eyes.

“It’s away from the village and the terrain is complicated. Even the ghost clan can’t exert its full strength here. ”

“The river next to it will be covered by river lights tonight – that’s the only light, maybe it can help you a little.”

This is the preparation of Kikyo.

Although she didn’t know what kind of enemy Nanxing was going to face, since she was going to fight, she couldn’t fight an unprepared battle.

The so-called time and place are favorable to people – in the case of not having the advantage of time and time, if you do not occupy the advantage of geographical advantage, it is inevitable that you do not take your life too seriously.

At the same time, Kikyo is preparing for the Southern Star, and even more than that.

“This is what I do these days.”

“Maybe you can use it.”

She reached into her arms and pulled out a thick wad of rune paper that had already been opened.

Or rather, spells.

There are many types of spells – charms that lure youkai, heartless charms that confuse youkai, lightning charms that expel youkai… Again shocked by Kikyo’s erudition.

“Then you’re welcome.”

“When I come back, please eat.”

Nanxing did not be polite with Kikyo and pocketed these charms.

In the face of that dangerous trial task, every additional strength will give one more hope of survival.

Kirito, on the other hand, frowned slightly.

Lilac-like resentment – when Nanxing saw the expression on Kirito’s face, he could suddenly understand what kind of mood Dai Wangshu wrote “Rain Alley”.

“It doesn’t seem too late, please, right?”

She whispered.

The sound is soft.

With the help of the breeze, it was just enough to be heard by the South Star.

……

In this era of extremely underdeveloped productivity, it is not easy to make something delicious.

Especially for this isolated village. A rice ball made with wild vegetables can already be called a good meal.

But Nanxing still managed to make a big meal for Kikyo.

Anyway, there is no shortage of fish in the river. Although there is less meat, it is not nothing.

As for the other ingredients, most of them came from the other days, and the bellflower gave people free river lanterns in return.

——Saying that it is distributed for free, those people will not be blind to see empty hands.

“Meat can be fried in oil.”

“There is no shortage of salt and soy sauce.”

“Kelp… This thing is good and can be used for freshness. ”

“If you have chili peppers, use dogwood instead.”

It was a patchwork dinner.

Even Nanxing himself did not expect that after he racked his brains, he could really forcibly spell out a meal that looked good.

And with that, it’s more important.

The meal was served with wine.

Although it is only a very low-grade plum wine, it is not much stronger than fruity drinks.

But that faint smell of alcohol still made Nanxing’s mood become excited.

“Kikyo.”

He raised his head and looked at Kikyo and had many things he wanted to say to her.

But when he really opened his mouth, he found that he couldn’t say anything.

——This trial is very dangerous, and Nanxing himself is not sure that he will pass.

So, he couldn’t promise anything to Kikyo at all.

The meal in front of him was already the only thing he could do for Kirito.

And at the same time, on the other side.

The delicate Kratom also found Nanxing’s desire to speak.

“Kaede.”

She suddenly put down the chopsticks in her hand and called her sister’s name.

“It’s too deserted.”

“You come and sing a song, liven up.”

“？？？”

……

Kaede was already cursing.

She knew that this meal was not so delicious.

But she didn’t expect that her sister would pit her like this.

“Sing as you want.”

“Why do you want me to sing.”

She slandered in her heart.

Of course, it is impossible to say it.

Don’t even dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Kikyo asked her to sing, and she could only put down her chopsticks helplessly. Stand up and sing to the man and woman in front of you.

– It was a somewhat sad song.

The music of this country is like this, always with some inexplicable sorrow.

But Nanxing listened with arrogance.

He picked up the clay bowl in his hand and drank the last half of the drink.

“Wait for me to come back.”

He put down his chopsticks and left the room, throwing himself into the boundless darkness.

“Eh…”

Kaede’s singing voice suddenly paused.

She looked up and found that Kikyo had also risen from her seat.

However, she did not leave the room in a hurry, but walked towards the inner room.

“Keep singing.”

She said.

Kaede had no choice but to continue singing.

Kikyo went into his bedroom and removed the longbow hanging from the wall.

It has its own name.

【Azusa Spirit Bow】.

She picked up the spirit bow and thought about it. He took out a red ribbon from the cabinet, replaced the original white strip of cloth, and tied it in the center of the longbow.

“Sister…”

Looking at this looking Kirito, Kaede subconsciously stretched out his hand and wanted to block it.

It’s Zhongyuan night!

Under the night walk of a hundred ghosts, even the gods must temporarily avoid the edge.

But she couldn’t stop Kikyo’s determination in the end.

“You eat first.”

“I’ll go back.”
