Chapter 34

At that time..,

Leaf was in the courtyard of Ibaraki's palace, sitting on a branch of the tree and reading a book.

Today, she was in the appearance of Wavy Leaf.

Ibaraki's palace was very far from the gathering place of the other demons, so..,

As a result, Leaf did not hear the movements of the monsters immediately. By the time she knew that the Great Mountain was about to be broken through by the Gods of Saber, Sword, and Death, even Ubutoro, who usually took care of her the most, was seriously injured.

Leaf hurriedly supported the Ubutori who had fainted after seeing her,

With a flip of her wrist, the huge green snapdragon Leaf flashed in her hand. She shook the Leaf, and a faint red demonic power surged out from it, enveloping the Ubutori completely,

Then, it quickly disappeared.

The entire process lasted for half a quarter of an hour before it ended,

Under this gentle and high-intensity treatment..,

The Ubutori's life was saved, but her body was still very weak,

She could not wake up from her coma either.

Leaf handed her over to the little demons and looked at the group of little demons,

She found that the most mischievous ones were gone.

"Where... Where are they?"

"..."

No little demon answered her question,

But some little demons started crying. In this way, Leaf instantly knew what was going on.

She looked at the group of Gods of Death who did not dare to come forward from afar,

She saw the ecstasy in their eyes slowly turn into confusion,

Even emptiness and numbness,

She opened her mouth,

But it was as if she had lost her voice.

They looked at each other without saying anything. This was supposed to be a comedic meeting, but it had the opposite result of "What should have been".

She did not know how to explain all of this, because no matter how she explained, she could not erase a fact.

During the period when she turned into a snapdragon and lost her memory, although she would be happy that she had some impressions of these Gods of Death, the origin of this joy was more that she had finally obtained some memories.

To her, they could not be compared to Ghost Lantern and Gui.

Although she had been thinking about going back after coming to this world, she hadn't done anything substantial so far.

After regaining her memories, she thought that sooner or later, she would have to return to the place where her real family was, the place where Wave Wind Minato was.

Moreover, in her subconscious mind, although the Swords and Blades had submitted to her, they were merely employees of the Government of the Hour.

Just like her, although she belongs to one of Konoha's Anbu teams and follows the command of the captain, but in fact, they are all Konoha's ninjas.

She could leave the Dark Department, and the swords could also leave her.

In fact, she had secretly asked the Government of the Hour's mouthpiece, Little Fox. Fox's Assistance said that the Government of the Hour would not break the blades of those who had not fallen.

After no one was willing to take This Pill, the swords and Blades of This Pill would be scattered to other This Pill, and there would be gentle Divine Inquisitors who would be willing to appease the hearts of these swords and Blades.

Therefore, even if she finally obtained her memories, she did not immediately go to the Yellow Springs to find a way to go back, but stayed in the mountains.

Perhaps time will wear away everything, she thought.

Perhaps if she went back a little later, they would be completely disappointed in her?

A Divine Inquisitor who was determined to leave should not be pitied by the Gods.

But time and time again, they would always let her wish fall through.

Perhaps now the facts were telling her that the relationship between the Swords and the Divine Inquisitors was not the same as the relationship between her and the Anbu team captain.

Wavy Leaf is a scum.

She chanted it over and over in her heart.

Her eyes were a little hot.

But before she could shed tears, another group of monsters rushed over from behind the Swords of Death.

The leader was Onmyoji's Spirit-branded Retainer, Headless. Behind him were the small monsters that Leaf was familiar with. At the end of the group, Onmyoji was holding the dying Demon Fox in his arms.

The Swords of Death quickly fought with the group of Spirit-branded Retainers.

Wavy Leaf was no longer in the mood to cry. She rubbed her eyes and flew forward as fast as she could. She threw away her big Leaf and hugged the twins, dodging the mountain children's attack. Then she made a big meatball with one hand and threw it on the ground. With a loud bang, the entire battlefield quieted down.

Leaf did not speak. She desperately suppressed the urge to cry and knelt down in front of the Gods of Death who were covered in blood and broken swords.

"I …"

"Milord."

The one who spoke was Jiazhou Qingguang. After he called her "Milord", he slowly walked in front of her, knelt down, and hugged her.

"Milord, you said last time that you would never leave us again. But this time, you failed to keep your promise."

"This is the last time. Next time, if you leave without saying goodbye again … I will kill you."

"After that, the Spirit-branded Retainer will no longer have any value. Everyone will accompany you and disappear completely, okay?

This way, you will belong to us forever, and no one will disturb us anymore. "

Jiazhou Qingguang said to himself. Leaf knew that their relationship had changed.

From the beginning, they were testing each other. After losing their memories, they were in a hurry and became cautious. Now, all that was left was to give up everything.

But she always felt that this seemingly dangerous relationship was perhaps the closest they had ever been to each other.

"Jiazhou Qingguang …"

She hugged the young man back, her hands tightly gripping the fabric on his back. Her fingers even went through his clothes and touched his cold back.

Jiazhou Qingguang loved to dress up. When he was not in the mood, he would tidy himself up.

Leaf's hands tightened.

"Are you afraid?

So, can you be nicer to us?

If you really want to leave, if you really despise us, use your hands to break all of us, okay? "

"That would be much better than rotting alone in the dark."

Leaf looked up and saw that the eyes of the other Spirit-branded Retainers were deep, but in the deepest part of their eyes, she could see a trace of caution.

She had always been doted on by them.

This doting filled her with strength and made her arrogant.

"Can I? Wherever I go, you guys go too."

She asked.

"Isn't that natural? The Spirit-branded Retainer and the Master are inseparable."

The one who said this was the Komusubi.

And his words were almost the same as the words of all the Spirit-branded Retainers.

Leaf felt even more guilty.

However, in this situation, it was not a good time for them to continue chatting.

First, Ye pacified the group of humans and demon immortals. Then, he ran to the battlefield outside and unleashed his demon power, saving the lives of a group of dying demons and imps.

By the time she was done, she had already lost half of her life. Her face was pale as she leaned on Tsurimaru, who had cleverly moved to stand behind her. Tsurimaru then began to resolve the problems and misunderstandings between the various factions.

"So, you saw the Demon Fox holding my handkerchief, and then you forced him to tell you where I was. He didn't tell you, so you beat him up like this?"

Leaf thought for a moment. On the first night she met the Demon Fox, he cried for no reason. Then, she handed him a handkerchief. The handkerchief even had the peach-shaped pattern exclusive to the Ghost Lantern.

What a coincidence.

"In the end, he told us. But when we were about to reach our destination, he was taken away by that group of people."

One of the Spirit-branded Retainers pointed at Onmyoji's group.

"Haruaki, didn't you go back to Pingan City?"

"We were helping Nairo collect spirits on the way, so we were a little late. Are these your servants?"

If that's the case, it's not difficult to explain why there's a faint divine power in her body, and that divine power is obviously not hers.

She's actually the master of a dozen Spirit-branded Retainers? She's really …

At this time, Ubutori woke up. She first looked behind her, and after seeing the dead demons standing there, she immediately picked them up. Then, she suddenly looked at Tsuru Maru who was holding Leaf.

She didn't want to be threatened at all.

"Did you lead them here?"

"I'm sorry, auntie."

"…" Ubutori's face gradually turned cold, but she looked at the demons in her arms and then looked at the pale girl. In the end, she didn't want to hurt them.

"Go, leave this place. The Empire doesn't welcome you."

"… Yes."

Although they were told to leave the Empire, but when Leaf went back to Ibaraki's palace to pack up her things, Firefly Grass, who usually plays with Leaf, came over with a bowl.

"Leaf, this, this is the medicine that auntie specially made for you."

"Thank you, Little Mi."

"Auntie is actually very worried about you, but those people are more important to you."

Firefly Grass just saw with her own eyes that her friends were killed by the Spirit-branded Retainers. Although Leaf explained their identities and saved her friends, Firefly Grass still didn't like them.

But she never had any bad feelings towards Leaf, and the same goes for the other demons.

"Anyway, we'll still be good friends, right?"

"Little Mi … Of course, we'll always be good friends."

Little Ye Zuo Wen frowned. His hand reached for the hilt of his blade. He wanted to stab the demon that was badmouthing them, but he was stopped by Zong San Zuo Wen.

Delta Ophiuchi shook his head at his younger brother: "Little Ye, be good."

Delta Ophiuchi also wanted to stab the demon, but he knew that if he really did that, their relationship with His Majesty would definitely worsen.

It was already very dangerous now. His Majesty had finally opened his heart to them. If something were to go wrong now, they would all perish together.

"We won't meet again in the future. Bear with it and listen to your brother."

"Okay."

When Firefly Grass touched the bowl and came out, she saw the Spirit-branded Retainers in the courtyard staring at her fiercely. Especially the shortest one, Firefly Grass could clearly see that his sword was halfway through.

"Oh ya ya ~ What's going on ~"

At this moment, a clear and pleasant male voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

Komusubi felt the tree he was leaning against suddenly become soft, and then he was carried up horizontally by someone.

It was the first time in his life that he was carried up like this, so he didn't bother to struggle and was stunned on the spot.

Did he become old?

His vigilance became so bad?

"A fox with smooth fur, good fox. What's your relationship with Leaf, hm?"

That person continued to ask.

This time, he didn't care about Firefly Grass anymore.

He just chased away a group of demons, and now a great demon came. How much did their Master like to flirt with people?!
