Yuanyi runs along the memory, under the starry sky and in the moonlight, going back to the place where everything has not yet begun.

He felt guilty for sixty years and let go for two hundred years. Finally, he waited for the opportunity to redeem each other this year. He wanted to take a look and see her safe and happy, and he wanted her to be happy. He would not intervene in her life again, but she

He will help her achieve whatever she wants.

[Why did you catch the tadpoles and put them back again?]

[My relatives have all passed away, and I want them to stay with me. But taking them away from my family is too cruel.]

【...Don't you have any family? Then let me go home with you.】

It was he who rushed towards her and walked home. It was also his negligence that caused her to die at the mouth of an evil spirit. Shi was a kind and gentle girl who had never done anything wrong. The biggest misfortune in her life was just meeting him.

There is a soft "pop" sound, which is the sound of dead wood being broken by clogs.

As soon as Yuanyi landed on the edge of a familiar yet unfamiliar paddy field, he saw the moonlight fluctuating in the pond, and saw insects and frogs jumping around, but no girl. He knew that he had come too early; but he also came late, and he knew it.

In this way, he stood on the field ridge with his hands folded, waiting from late at night until dawn.

When the sun began to set and everything revived, the farmer who got up early came to the field with a hoe on his back. He still stood motionless, showing no intention of moving away.

On the other hand, the farmers were frightened when they saw his half-demon appearance. They confronted him one-sidedly and trembled for a long time, but found that Yuanyi had no intention of attacking.

He came to wait for someone, not to make a grudge.

"Monster, monster!" Someone took courage, "You, what are you doing here? Are you trying to steal our food? I'm warning you, if you dare to touch the villagers' food rations, I, I will make you pay the price!"

"Pay the price! Pay the price!" the farmers protested loudly.

Yuanyi:……

To this day, he understands why his brother always says that famous line. If he had to be greeted like this by humans every time he passed by the paddy fields, he couldn't help but want to find this excuse.

"I don't eat human food." He said.

The farmers' cries stopped abruptly.

"I have no ill intentions, I'm just waiting for someone." Yuanyi said calmly, "They don't have last names, so it's not convenient for me to find them. If you know of a six-year-old girl named 'Shi', can you tell me where she lives?

?"

He had been to the place where Shi lived in his previous life, but there was no wooden house there.

Reminiscent of the hunger and wars during the Warring States Period, he thought that Shi's family must have moved several times. This village was located in a mountain valley with fertile soil and fertile fields. They would eventually come here.

All he had to do was wait. It could take anywhere from a few months to two years, and they would eventually meet again.

"Waiting for someone?" The farmer wondered, "Shi? There is no little girl named Shi in our village...Wait a minute, why are you, a monster, looking for a child? Are you trying to catch him and eat him?"

Yuanyi:……

No wonder my brother prefers to stay in Inuyama and Maple Village. Humans in these two places are the only ones who don't ask this kind of question.

"I don't eat people."

"Then what do you eat?" The farmer argued, "The livestock in the village?"

Yuanyi moved his five fingers lightly, making a clicking sound of bones. He raised his hand and said expressionlessly: "Do your job, human. If you talk too much, I will kill you."

There was dead silence for three seconds, and the farmers immediately dispersed. They originally wanted to invite a mage to drive Yuanyi away, but it was too heartbreaking to think about the rice and grain they would have to pay for the mage!

"What should I do? Do I need to find a mage?"

"It's too expensive to afford! How about doing some work first to see if he really has no appetite for human flesh as he said?"

"There are eight of us, what are we afraid of? He must be scaring us, as long as we join forces..."

"That's a monster. I think it's better to find a mage."

The conversation fell into an endless loop.

In the end, the belief in having enough food defeated the fear of monsters. They grabbed their hoes and worked on the farm as quietly as chickens, forgetting Yuanyi's existence as they worked.

It wasn't until the sun rose high that they decided to put down their hoes and eat some brown rice balls, only to find that Yuanyi was still standing at the edge of the field, unmoving.

"Strange monster..."

Dusk is approaching, and the farmers return home before the time of encountering monsters. Before leaving, they look back at the paddy fields. Although they have reduced their fear of monsters, their worries remain. After all, it is too close to the village. There will be monsters tonight.

When I fall asleep, I always feel a chill down my spine.

Or hire a mage?

"I heard that there is a wandering mage near Musashi Country named 'Misatsuno'. He is very good at exorcising demons. Apart from charging a higher price and being lecherous, he has no other shortcomings."

"These two shortcomings are already fatal..."

The farmer disappeared behind the mountain. As soon as Yuan heard the words, he finally disappeared into the forest with a few ups and downs. In fact, he could have left earlier and waited in a more secluded place, but he was too worried about revisiting his old place, and he accidentally

I was in a daze for a day, which actually scared them.

Maybe when they come back tomorrow morning and see that he's not here, they won't need to ask for the mage.

It is a pity that human beings are always the first in terms of action in "eliminating dissidents". The farmers did not come to work in the fields for three days and focused on guarding the surroundings of the village. When they came back, they had brought the mage Mi Matsuno with them.

He was a very young boy, at least twenty years old. He had black hair and black eyes, a handsome profile, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a smile on his lips. Maybe he was well-fed. He was a head taller than the average Dashima man, although he was dressed in black.

He is wearing a monk's robe, but his body looks very strong.

He has spiritual power, but his strength is not strong. He can deal with some bastards, but if he wants to deal with white dogs... huh? Something is wrong.

Where the shadows of the trees intersected, Yuanyi turned his head slightly. The transparent world was locked on the mage's right hand, and he "saw" a black hole that had only been seen in the underworld.

There is a black hole in the right hand of this mage. It is sealed by a spell and makes a whistling sound. It seems to want to absorb everything, as if it wants to swallow everything - even the mage himself is not spared.

It has terrifying power, enough to enable the mage who possesses it to defeat the great demon. But it is also a lord-killing curse, and as it slowly spreads in the mage's palm, sooner or later he will be sucked into it.

The stronger is the stronger, but those who hold it, such as the cursed Ubuyashiki clan, will probably not live past thirty.

Yuanyi was sitting on a tree, and his eyes through the shadow of the tree met the gaze of the mage. When the farmers exclaimed "Hey, where is the monster" and "Where is the monster", the mage gently raised his hand to signal them to be quiet.

, and then slowly walked towards the dense forest.

"I see you." He seemed to like to laugh, even when talking to the "enemy" with a smile, "How long do you want to stay in the tree? Why don't you come down and have a chat?"

There was no malice, and even a friendly attitude. The other party didn't seem to want to be his enemy.

The wise choice is to know that you can't fight, so...

"My name is Misatsuno, what's your name, beauty?" As soon as the mage said this, both the farmer behind him and Yuanyi on the tree were all shocked.

"Don't be afraid, as soon as I see your face, I know that beauty is not a bad monster."

The farmers were collectively shocked to the point of losing their voices.

What a beauty! You can call monsters beautiful, but have you noticed the species and gender clearly? Are you a slut? Oh no, do you tell whether someone is good or bad by their face? Ah!

Yuanyi:……

Wangwanggou was shocked! He had never met such a shameless person in his two lifetimes!

"F, Master Mage, what are you doing..." Ah, you took the rice to do something, right? But what are you doing? Although we also admit that this monster is good-looking, but - uh, wait,

This monster is indeed too good-looking.

The human's attention was completely distorted. They all looked up at Yuanyi and fell into a long silence. At first, they were shouting and shouting to kill, but now they all took the wrong direction and started to praise each other. There is nothing weirder about human beings than this.

Could it be that just relying on face can turn conflicts into friendship? If this is the case, then my brother can use his face to unify the big island.

Yuanyi sighed softly and turned down from the tree.

As soon as he landed, he put his hands into his sleeves and said calmly: "Human, I don't want to cause trouble, I'm just waiting for someone."

After all, Enichi has a better temper than Sesshomaru. Even if he is provoked, he will subconsciously start a conversation with the purpose of "ending the war." If the brothers were exchanged, human beings would be bloodied by now.

Misatsuno: "Who are you waiting for? Are you seeking revenge or repaying a favor? You see, the people in this village are very nervous."

Yuanyi: "...to repay the favor, I'm waiting for a girl."

There was silence all around, and Misatsuno suddenly put his hands together and said sincerely: "Is it for women? It turns out we are the same people!" He unilaterally declared that Yuanyi is a friend.

Yuanyi: Did you misunderstand what I said?

The misunderstanding here is huge, and Kami Matsuno opened his mouth and arranged a sentence without beginning or end into thirty episodes of Yamato romance drama, which made the listeners sad and the listeners shed tears.

"That girl must have given you a favor in the past life, which you will remember forever. However, human life is short, and you can't repay her in the past life, so you can only wait until now, wait for her to appear in the next life, and then repay her."

Misatsuno suddenly turned around, opened his arms, and said with tears in his eyes: "Everyone! This is a good monster! He is sincere to the human girl. He is waiting for her only to repay his kindness and will never do anything to harm humans."

"He just wants to repay the favor!"

The farmers were shocked at first, then had an epiphany, and then were filled with emotion. For a moment, their eyes looked at Yuanyi with much gentleness. Some people with strong empathy even sighed several times, thinking that monsters also have such strong feelings.

Yuanyi:……

He suspected that they were bullying him for being stupid, but he couldn't provide any evidence. However, to a certain extent, the mage was right.

He and poetry are indeed the debts and repayments of past and present lives.

The farmers scattered with hoes in hand, and the mage turned to look at Yuanyi. It turned out that this guy was very scheming. He made up a story to drive away the farmers to prevent them from delaying the battle, and he also wanted to use the story to test the temperament of the monster.

"It seems that you really have no hostility." Misatsuno said, "Even if I turned my back to you to arrange for you, you would not take action."

Yuanyi: "If I take action, you will be dead."
