Miss Planeswalker, are you free for romance?

Chihiro looked at this charming and elegant elder sister with confusion - a sense of intimacy for an unknown reason slowly grew in the girl's heart.

Mori Yuesha said: "It's nothing. Don't worry too much. Your parents are just under a spell. Chihiro, the important thing now is how to survive here."

Mori Yuesha saw that there were still traces of tears on Chihiro's face, and she wiped them with her dirty hands, until her whole face was black.

She helplessly held onto Mori Yuesha's hand tightly, and could still feel a faint tremor on her arm.

"Don't worry, sister is here." Mori Yuesa patted Chihiro's arm.

If the gloves knitted by Zeniba were not transferable, Mori Tsukisa would have put them on Chihiro long ago. After all, she has a "job" and it doesn't belong to the category of a bathhouse.

In the boiler room, the smell of burning coals and herbs hit me.

The old man named Boiler Grandpa was busy making a fire, without any sign of slowness due to his age.

A long, thick beard grew on his chin, with only the upper part of his face exposed—not only that, he even wore a pair of round black sunglasses on his eyes.

He has many hands, and he is very skillful in shaking fire, grinding medicine, and taking materials. Each hand has a clear division of labor.

This reminded Mori Yuesa of a spider.

Chihiro was obviously frightened.

"Don't be afraid." Mori Yuesha hugged Chihiro, rubbed her head gently, and took her into the boiler room: "Here, you will slowly meet all kinds of interesting guys."

"Grandpa Boiler!" Mori Yuesha did not hesitate and directly called out Bai Long's banner: "Grandpa Boiler! Bai Long wants me to convey something to you!"

Boiler Grandpa seemed to be concentrating on grinding the medicine. After Mori Yuesha called him three or four times, he turned his head and looked at the two girls at the door.

"Ah...Haku. I know, I know. What's the matter?"

There was fatigue in the old voice. Although he answered Mori Yuesa's words, his hands could not stop and continued to work.

"Help this girl find a job! Let her work here with you, okay?" Mori Yuesa's hand gently tapped Chihiro behind her back. The girl understood and took a step forward.

"My name is Qianxun, please let me work here!"

Chihiro bowed and looked at the boiler grandfather who was working non-stop. The furnace was still opening and closing with a clanging sound, and the old man turned his face with sunglasses on.

He looked Chihiro up and down.

"I don't need any help here. I have as much coal as you want. No need, no need." He finally freed up a hand and waved at the two girls, then pointed to the row of small black holes in front of them.

Entrance?

The two girls walked over hand in hand, bent down, and found a group of small black creatures.

They huddled together, their little eyes blinking and staring at the two of them from inside, like stars in the night sky.

Mori Yuesha took a few steps forward and discovered that there were small coal-like creatures inside, chirping and jumping around in the cave.

It's quite cute.

"You guys go find Yubaba, I don't need any help here." Boiler Grandpa said again.

Chihiro looked at Mori Yuesa helplessly, and suddenly, there was a knock on the door from the other side.

dong dong dong.

Under the wall, a small square wooden door was opened from the outside, and a thin-faced girl struggled to crawl out of the small square frame.

"Ah, it's Ling." Boiler Grandpa greeted without turning his head.

"It's time to eat! What's going on? Are you arguing again?" The thin-faced woman struggled to get in through the cubicle, turned around, and brought out the steaming food, holding a light brown wooden barrel in her right hand.

"Come on, come on! Come and eat!"

She handed the food to the boiler grandfather and then squatted in front of the coals.

"Come out quickly! It's time to eat!" The woman poured out candies of various colors from the wooden barrel and threw them at the entrance of the cave, attracting the coal slag to jump and gather over.

The five-pointed star-shaped candies and the little coals were jumping on the ground together, and their chirping sounds sounded very happy.

“Really? Stop arguing with grandpa every day. You guys always—Aaaaaah! Humans!!”

The girl named Ling turned around and saw Chihiro and Mori Yuesa leaning against the wall, staring at her in a daze.

"Oh no! There's a huge commotion upstairs! Yubaba is asking Haku and Frog to lead people around to look for someone!"

Chihiro was at a loss, Mori Yuesa grabbed her hand and stood in front of her.

"This girl is my granddaughter."

Boiler Grandpa carried dishes and rice with four hands, stepped on the fire wheel, and said slowly: "She said she wanted to work, but I don't have enough people here. Please take her to Tangbaba, and let her do the rest by herself."

Ling immediately refused: "I don't want to! I'll be killed by Yubaba!"

"How about this for you?"

Boiler Grandpa stretched out his long hand in front of Ling, spanning four or five meters.

He was holding the tail of a small, charred animal.

"The grilled salamander is top quality." After saying that, he turned the grilled salamander that looked like charcoal with his hands.

Is food so scarce?

Mori Yuesha bent down slightly, ready to go.

The thin-faced woman didn't pay any attention to this. Although she looked dissatisfied, she still drooped her eyes, nodded reluctantly, and reached out to take the black charcoal-grilled salamander.

Boiler Grandpa said meaningfully: "Everyone who works here must sign a contract with Yubaba. You can try your luck 'on your own'."

Chihiro looked at Boiler Grandpa in confusion, while Mori Yuesha understood what he meant.

"Hey, Chihiro, you'll have to go up by yourself in a while. Don't mention me and Mr. Haku. Do you understand?"

She whispered to the girl holding her arm: "You must firmly say that you want to work. No matter how much we persuade you, you must say that you want to work. Now, tell me your full name."

Mori Yuesha's gentle touch and the whispered advice in her ear worked. Chihiro's distracted eyes gradually became clear, and she finally made up her mind.

Some roads are destined to be walked alone.

"Don't worry, Sister Yuesha." She gritted her teeth, bowed to Sen Yuesha, and whispered in her ear: "Thank you very much for your and Mr. Bailong's help!"

"Hey! Human over there, stop muttering. Come with me!" Ling impatiently turned the wooden barrel upside down, and a large amount of colorful star candies fell on the coal slag. This group of black guys ate more happily.

Mori Tsukisa licked her lips. It looked delicious.

"Go ahead." She smiled, patted the back of Chihiro's hand and encouraged him, "Come on, Chihiro."

This child who has never left his parents' home on his own now has to face the most terrifying witch in the bathhouse station alone.

"You are--" Ling looked at Mori Yuesha and sniffed her nose strangely: "God... No, monster?"

Mori Yuesa bowed, smiling without saying a word.

"Ramen... No, Kusayasuke? That doesn't look like it..." Ling scratched his head, "What's the name of this monster? It's so strange. It's the first time I've seen it."

Mori Yuesha waved goodbye to Chihiro, and Kan Ling took Chihiro to open the small wooden door, and the two of them crawled through crookedly.

"Hey! Are all humans so rude?" Halfway through the climb, Ling in front suddenly turned around, stretched out her finger, and poked Chihiro's forehead, "Say thank you to Grandpa Boiler!"

boom!

The girl hurriedly looked up and forgot the width of the small wooden door. She bumped her head against the wooden beam. She turned around with a sad face, covering her head, and bowed deeply to the boiler grandfather.

So that's it, have you discovered it long ago? Mori Yuesha looked at Ling's leaving figure, a little surprised. She is a kind-hearted girl.

However, after watching the two people crawl away, Sen Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief - he was so tired.

Meanwhile, Ling, who was carefully taking Chihiro up the stairs, kept muttering, "What kind of monster is this...it looks so charming, it must be a fox demon, fox demon, fox demon."

"strangeness…"

Chapter 15 Napping with Parents

I saw Chihiro again the next afternoon.

In the flower field to the right of the bathhouse, the tall grass and flowers formed a wall, dotted with unknown flowers. Mori Yuesha and Haku agreed to wait for Chihiro here.

Mori Yuesha leaned against the flower wall with a few buttons of her shirt open and a few strands of black hair hanging quietly inside.

The girl was closing her eyes, sniffing the fragrance of flowers coming from all directions.

At these moments, she felt like she was back in her mother's arms, as if she was in another world: there were mountains surrounded by mist for years, winding valleys and deafening waterfalls.

During the day, the towering and majestic spire greets the sun, magnificent and splendid; in the evening, the quiet and peaceful valley embraces the moonlight, mysterious and calm.

Pine, beech and oak trees grow in groups on the high slopes, standing guard diligently like loyal guards. A clear icy spring flows by, and you can scoop up a handful and drink it, which is cool and sweet in your mouth.

Looking up, I saw my mother standing on the other side of the stream, looking at me with tenderness and affection.

The feeling of being loved transcends time and space.

Although, she had never seen her.

Bailong came in a hurry, and the sound of his footsteps interrupted Mori Yuesha's dozing dream.

He walked around the flower wall, looking exhausted, as if he had just returned from somewhere. Before he could even say hello, he bowed solemnly to Mori Yuesha: "Yuesha, thank you."

Mori Yuesha slowly opened her eyes, tucked her hair behind her ears, and looked curious: "Thank you for what?"

Bai Long lowered his head and walked to her side, saying solemnly: "Thank you for helping Chihiro yesterday. If you were not here, I would probably be in a mess. But in this way, even you will offend Yupo..."

At this point, he suddenly choked up: "That's right, I have already offended you..."

Mori Yuesha rolled her eyes: "You are too gentle, Bai Longjun, what is your relationship with Chihiro..."

I smell sweet dog food.

"First of all," he held up a finger, "you two ladies are children compared to my age."

Then, he raised the second one: "Secondly, you are not much older than Chihiro, don't speak in that old man's tone, Xiaosha..."

Except when Bailong is serious, it is hard to imagine that he is hundreds or even thousands of years old, because from his appearance, he is a beautiful boy no matter how you look at him.

However, Mori Yuesa felt that he looked a little lonely.

"How did we meet? Ha, I don't even remember..." Bai Long's words were a little sad, and his eyelashes drooped. He had forgotten everything, who he was, who Chihiro was. Only this name, only this name he remembered.

"Ok?"

"Mr. Bai, Sister Yuesha, I'm here!"

Mori Yuesa pursed her lips and ended the topic.

She straightened up from the grass wall, put on a smile, and greeted Chihiro who was running towards her.

"Hey, Chihiro seems to be adapting a lot today."

Bai Long also laughed: "You did it."

"Here." After Chihiro stood still, Mori Yuesha reached out and took out a package from the grass wall: "This is the food I made at Granny Zeni's house, try it."

"Eh?"

Qianxun's eyes sparkled, "How did Sister Yuesha know? I'm starving to death."

Mori Tsukisa pointed at her eyes, "Of course I saw it. I paid special attention to it yesterday. The food was so bad. The meat dumplings last time were actually given to the guests? Where does Yubaba spend all the money she earns?"

After a pause, Mori Yuesha answered herself and said, "Yeah, that's right. Anyway, it can't be used on employees."

Chihiro walked over with a smirk and pinched Mori Yuesha's little hand.

The three of them carefully opened the packages and spread them on the grass. The food boxes were layered, and some even had crushed ice in order to keep them fresh.

After sharing the chopsticks, the three of them sat on the ground.

Like Haku, Chihiro was also wearing a rough Jinbei suit. The light pink color had turned white due to its oldness. One could tell at a glance that it was an old suit that had been worn countless times.

She took a big rice ball, took a small bite, then picked up a piece of tender sashimi and put it on top, sniffed it, and ate it with a satisfied look on her face, looking full of energy.

“It’s really delicious!”

Chihiro puffed her lips in satisfaction, and unknowingly, tears mixed in with them, tasting bitter on the tip of her tongue.

The two people looked at Chihiro who was eating and crying, and didn't know what to say.

Quietly, Mori Yuesha had already filled Chihiro's small plate with food: "What are your plans?"

Bai Long knew that Mori Yuesha was asking about him, so he put down the cup and said, "Xiaosha, you can't be exposed. Zeniba and Yubaba are sworn enemies. If you intervene openly, I think Yubaba will be even more unwilling to let Chihiro and her parents leave."
