"That's right." Ye Men added with a smile, "Besides, you are not very good-looking, and there is still a certain gap between you and Kagome and Kikyo. You don't need to have too much psychological pressure."

Tongzi clenched her fists unconsciously, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

Does this mean that I think too highly of myself and have no self-awareness?

Seeing this, Kagome couldn't help but laugh and interjected:

"Although I appreciate your high praise, it's too much to say that. I think Miss Hitomi is also very beautiful, right?"

"Hair is disheveled and looks like he never takes care of himself, minus one point; his face always has an expression as if someone owes him money, minus another point..."

Hearing this, Kagome quickly covered Yemen's mouth and said unhappily:

"Just pretend I didn't ask! Really, when facing people you're not interested in, you always say something super discouraging."

"Haha...it seems that you agree with me."

"No, I object!"

Feeling the countless strange gazes around her, Tongzi inexplicably had the urge to go home immediately, look in the mirror, and wash up carefully.

Asshole! If there hadn't been someone causing trouble at the entrance of the village early in the morning, would I have just walked out like this?

As for expressions, who can smile when they are angry?

"I don't think I agreed to your request." Tongzi forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart and tried to keep a calm expression as much as possible.

"So, are you going to lead the villagers in violent resistance against the law?"

Glancing at the villagers beside her who had all taken a few steps back and were deliberately keeping a distance from her, Ye Men asked with a smile:

"Or is this just your idea?"

Seeing this, Tongzi's mind sank to the bottom.

The sun had clearly risen into the sky, baking the earth with a bit of heat and humidity, but she inexplicably felt an unprecedented chill.

I was awakened by the village chief this morning before I even woke up. He said that the lord had sent samurai and monsters to collect taxes.

Because no one in the village wanted to let those people in, she had been maintaining the barrier to isolate the inside and outside of the village. The two sides had been arguing across the barrier from morning until now.

Unexpectedly, in the end, this actually became my own idea?

what is this?

When monsters attack, I am the shrine maiden in everyone's eyes, but when monsters don't appear for a long time, I am just a pupil.

"If you defeat me, I'll do whatever you want!"

Hitomi lightly waved the Kagura bell in her hand, and two invisible wind blades instantly attacked Ye Men's arms.

It hit the barrier, causing ripples that then disappeared.

"Why do you make yourself look like a victim? Wouldn't that make me look like a bully who raped a woman?"

Ye Men sighed helplessly and walked forward slowly step by step.

"Is not it?"

Hitomi continued to wave the Kagura bell, and the invisible and intangible attack continued to hit the barrier, detonating the air and producing a continuous light sound.

However, no matter what she did, Ye Men's footsteps never stopped.

Watching the distance between the two sides slowly shrinking, her inner self-esteem made her stand still and refuse to retreat.

He exploded all his spiritual power, forming a blue light around his body, but even so, it had no effect at all.

Ye Men slowly walked in front of Tongzi, stretched out his right hand, pierced through the barrier outside Tongzi's body without any hindrance, and tapped her forehead lightly.

"Well...I win."

Hitomi put down the Kagura bell in her hand dejectedly and sighed softly.

"Since you have such strong spiritual power, why do you want to collude with monsters?"

"Why is it collusion, not subjugation?"

"Is there any difference? A demon is a demon."

"So what do you think we should do? We can't really eliminate all the monsters, right?"

"Why not? You obviously have the ability."

“…I didn’t expect you to be an extremist.”

"I just don't understand why you would do this."

"There are many reasons, but I don't need to explain them to you. Pack your bags, it's time to go."

"Ah."

Tongzi responded softly, without much resistance in her heart.

As early as the moment the villagers sacrificed themselves, it had become difficult for them to continue staying in this village.

Maybe, she just wanted a step.

Kagome looked at her apologetically. She was obviously only there to solve a problem, but she acted like a bad guy who was forcing the beautiful girl to submit.

It's all Ye Men's fault. He should have explained it a little more. Is it because you were in a hurry to go back for lunch and didn't want to stay here any longer?

……

How could a monster be so obedient?

Moreover, he actually looked kind and benevolent.

In Edo Castle, on a busy street, Hitomi stared at the passers-by monsters that kept walking past her.

This was her second day in this city, but even so, she still couldn't adapt to everything in this city.

"Mom, I want to eat takoyaki."

"Okay, manager, please give us some takoyaki."

"Mom, don't you want to eat?"

"Anyway, I'm sure Zizhi won't be able to finish it, right? Mommy will just eat what you leave."

"Hey hey... sorry."

Zizhi smiled embarrassedly, and when she turned around, she suddenly found a priestess exuding a sacred aura next to her, staring at her, and she was frightened for a moment.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask:

"Sister, do you want to eat too? The takoyaki in this restaurant is delicious."

"Half-demon?"

"Yes, I'm a half-demon. Are you the new miko? I haven't seen you in this city before."

How could a half-demon laugh so happily? And not feel inferior at all, how did he do it?

Tongzi looked Zizhi up and down, as if thinking about something.

"I just came yesterday, how about you guys?"

"About half a month, um... now that I think about it, it's not been that long, but it feels like I've lived here for several years."

As she spoke, Shiori took the takoyaki handed to her by the store manager, skewered one on a bamboo stick, and handed it to Hitomi.

"Sister Miko, shall we eat together?"

"No, I just had dinner."

"I see. Sorry... I am being nosy."

Seeing this, Zizhi didn't care and asked:

"Sister, are you a wandering witch, or did you settle here? I heard that wizards and witches from all over the country were invited here to study magic together. Dad also participated a few times."

"Sister, are you here for the meeting as well? I wonder what kind of magic you are researching?"

“All kinds.”

Thinking about the two seminars held yesterday afternoon and this morning, Tongzi fell into deep thought again.

Although the main focus of the discussion was on methods of inducing plant growth, how to quickly cultivate land, quickly build houses, how to reduce the cost of spiritual power or demonic power storage devices, how to create fans and lamps that use spiritual power as kinetic energy, etc. were also within the scope of discussion.

At the meeting, everyone spoke freely, even the monsters talked eloquently, but Hitomi herself remained silent.

Come to think of it, Tongzi, who only knows some magic to eliminate demons, has no inspiration at all.

Therefore, after the two meetings, I lost all confidence and had the inexplicable illusion that I was just a knife.

In order to restore some confidence and to prove that I am still useful, I went out to relax.

Unexpectedly, I became more and more discouraged the further I walked.

Everyone is living a good life, whether they are humans or monsters, but I am the only one who can do nothing. To be honest, even monsters are more useful than me.

Noticing that Hitomi was still in a daze, Shiori turned around and said:

"No matter what's on your mind, it's better to talk to a friend. It's hard to hold it in alone."

"We're leaving first. Goodbye, sister."

After walking a little further away, Zizhi spoke again:

"Mom, when will dad come back?"

"Dad has gone on the expedition with Lord Seshomaru. It will take at least ten days or half a month."

"Is Dad going to be okay?"

"No, the Fifth Legion is very strong. Besides, Dad brought blood jade coral before he went to the battle, so his safety will definitely be no problem."

"Hmm... let's go to Yato Shrine and pray for daddy, shall we?"

"Okay."

Listening to the two people chatting, Tongzi lowered her head and walked silently on the street, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

After an unknown amount of time, a demonic aura suddenly appeared behind him.

If it were in the past, she would have already started using her spiritual power to exorcise the demon.

But at this moment, he just looked back woodenly.

"Miko Hitomi, Lady Kikyo is looking for you. Please follow me."

"Oh."

Tongzi followed the little monster silently, through the streets and alleys, and came to the door of a brick and stone house.

Looking at the neatly planned buildings around her, Tongzi felt increasingly depressed.

This kind of house has a small courtyard in the front and back and is made entirely of stones. It is said that it only takes half a day to build each one. This is undoubtedly the power of the monster.

It is difficult for humans to do this alone.

Entering the backyard, Kagome and Kikyo, who were practicing archery, came into view at the same time.

"Lord Kikyo, the Hitomi Miko has been brought here."

"Thanks a lot."

"You're welcome. I'll be patrolling in the sky. If you need anything else, please feel free to call me."

After the little monster flew away, Kikyo turned her gaze to Hitomi and spoke slowly:

"I heard that there is a witch on the street who keeps staring at everyone who passes by with scary eyes. Many children are frightened and cry."

Me? Scary?

Tongzi was slightly startled, subconsciously touched her cheek, and muttered to herself:
