Chapter 37

Leaf shook her head and thought of the strangeness of Gui some time ago — after he turned into a tree,

It was as if he had completely lost consciousness.

"My root system,

Can already connect to some small worlds, but I haven't met the world dominated by ninjas as you said. "

He held the girl's hand,

Then signaled for her to close her eyes.

Leaf closed her eyes,

But what she saw was not pitch black.

This should be the empathy of Gui,

She once again saw the empty 'starry sky',

And on some of the 'stars' nearby, she also saw a thin root,

That should be Gui's root system.

"It won't take long." He squeezed her palm. "Don't worry."

Leaf heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and then opened her eyes,

She looked at Gui gratefully.

"How can I thank you?"

This was the second time she asked Gui this question.

But this time, Gui shook his head and gently stroked her head. "I may not be able to accompany you for the rest of your life."

Leaf thought of those 'stars',

And the wish of Gui.

"Do you want to go and take a look?

It will definitely be very interesting, and you will meet more interesting people. "

"You're silly again. I only look at people's faces."

"Then why don't you make friends with Ibaraki?"

"Like repel like."

Gui suddenly thought of the witch called Kikyo. He didn't know if the curse on her body had been lifted, and what was the outcome of her and the little half-demon's fate.

He quite liked that child,

If she was his Shaman, he thought that he wouldn't be so lonely.

Then he fell head first into this little fellow.

Thinking,

Gui's hand moved down a few inches,

He pinched the little fellow's face.

However, there were already too many people around this little fellow. He was afraid that he would do something bad because of this.

But if he stayed away, in her heart, he might always be the most special one.

In the end, they returned to the mountain where Gui was.

However, because he was gone, there was only a huge pit left. Gui Ye did not plan to stay here and be worshipped as a god by humans again, so he took them to the depths of the forest. That was the gathering place of the monsters, so humans did not dare to come here.

Gui Gui found a pleasing place and asked Leaf to place This Pill. He took root at the door of This Pill and began to establish connections with other worlds wholeheartedly.

No matter what was buried under the roots of the trees, over time, it would become their nourishment.

Leaf caresses the rough trunk of the big tree. She feels that after a long time, Gui might be able to unify those small worlds and become a real "World Tree".

His fruit grows in the ground.

Once again returning to her daily life with This Pill, Leaf felt a little absent-minded for a moment.

It was completely different from before.

In the beginning, the swords were busy taking care of her. They wished they could tie her up in the bedroom 24 hours a day and not let her out at all, for fear that she would encounter an accident.

Later, when she knew about the existence of Buru, she was busy preparing for the God slaying. Because of the tight schedule, she did not make full preparations and accidentally lost her name.

Later, she met the Ghost Lantern, found the swords, and left everyone so easily..

According to her memory, even if so many things had happened, it had not even been a year.

But for these children, the first time was 30 years, how many years would it be for the second time?

"My Lord?

What's wrong, is the food not to your taste?

I'll go and make another one for you! "

Everyone was eating in the dining room, and Hasebe, who was in charge of cooking, naturally got the right to sit next to the Lord. It was precisely because of this that he could see that the Lord was absent-minded at a glance, and even tasted a little like chewing wax.

"No, it's delicious, Hasebe. Don't worry, I just thought of something."

She stuffed another piece of broccoli into her mouth, chewed and swallowed it a few times, and started eating the egg pancake next to her.

The egg pancake was drizzled with freshly made meat sauce, and it tasted delicious.

"Wow, what is this!

It's so delicious! "

Tsuru Maru exclaimed exaggeratedly. It was not clear whether he really thought the food was delicious, or if he wanted to break the dull atmosphere in the dining room.

"I know, I know!"

This time, cat-tailed Toshiro was the one who was in a mess. He looked at Leaf with sparkling eyes, as if he wanted to take credit. "This is the egg pancake we picked up yesterday, right?

The meat is the prey that the little tiger brought back! "

As he said this, he even touched the big white tiger beside the Five Tigers Retreat. The white tiger shook its ears and rubbed its head under his palm. It seemed like it liked his touch very much.

"It's a deer, and I also kept the deer's blood to make deer blood wine."

Hasebe interrupted unwillingly. "I heard that deer blood wine has the effect of beautifying and nourishing one's skin. I kept it for my lord to drink slowly."

"If my lord likes it, I, I can ask the little tiger to catch some more deer."

The Five Tigers Retreat said timidly.

Leaf was still biting on the chopsticks in her mouth, savoring the taste of the meat sauce just now. She looked at the Five Tigers Retreat, who seemed as shy as before. She thought that if it was in the past, this child would definitely not say such things.

She could not evaluate whether this kind of growth was good or bad. After all, if she calculated carefully, these changes should actually be her fault.

"I'll go with you next time. Come to think of it, I don't think I've fought side by side with you guys even once."

She smiled guiltily, then lowered her head and started to fight with the egg pancake on her plate.

The only thing she could do now was to clean up the plate of food to show her satisfaction to them.

"My lord..."

Hasebe opened his mouth, but he did not know how to comfort his lord. After all, there was a gap between them. For them, the best way to eliminate it was to see the truth with time.

He hoped that this time, fate would not play tricks on them.

"My lord, I'll add another bowl of soup for you."

"Mm, okay."

However, perhaps fate pitied this house of master and servant who were plagued with misfortune. Not long after lunch, Fox's Assistance brought a piece of news that could satisfy Leaf's wishes.

"Mission!

It's a mission! "

Fox's Assistance stumbled to Leaf's feet and grabbed her calf with its two front paws, looking very anxious.

"I don't know why I still received a mission!

I've already canceled This Pill from the place where missions are accepted! "

After knowing that Leaf really did not die and had returned to replenish the spiritual energy of the swords, Fox's Assistance had already crossed off This Pill's name from the places where grey missions were accepted. Suddenly receiving a mission made it unavoidably panic.

Was This Pill's real location exposed?

If that was the case, then the consequences would be very serious!

Since others could find it!

The Delinquents and the Tracing Army would definitely be able to find it!

After telling Leaf all the drawbacks, Fox's Assistance laid in her arms and could not stop twisting because of its anxiety.

"Don't worry, let me see the mission first."

Hearing this, Fox's Assistance put its little paws between Leaf's eyebrows and explained: "The mission is directly transmitted to my head. Only then can you see it."

Because of Fox's Assistance's shouting, the other swords in This Pill also gathered around Leaf. When Leaf finished reading the mission and opened her eyes, she saw a dozen pairs of eyes staring at her. Some were nervous, some were expectant.

"My lord, what kind of mission is it?"

"Can we accept it?

My lord, are you going to fight with us? "

"Why don't we do it? Other people's main palace is in the back."

"We are not the same as other people."

Leaf hugged Fox and replied with a smile: "This mission is given by Gui, we can accept it."

He felt that the world that Gui Xin connected to was very interesting. He also sensed that Leaf was also looking for opportunities to cultivate relationships with her swords, so he helped them accept a mission and let them complete it. At the same time, he used this as an excuse to avoid the rules of that world.

"But there can't be too many of us, or else we will be rejected by the rules of that world."

"We are not human!"

A Saber shouted, and the Sabers and Swords below also began to discuss noisily, as if they had opened up a chatterbox.

"Why don't we fight? The loser has to return to their original body."

"That's not fair!

Everyone has their own strengths!

And this kind of fight is too harmful to harmony! "

"Then what do we do? Rock, paper, scissors?"

"How about rock, paper, scissors?"

Leaf:...

Can't you guys at least pay attention to me?

But all the swords were immersed in the excitement of going out to fight with their lord. They were afraid that if they looked up, they would see her disapproving face, so none of them looked up.

And by the time they decided who would return to their original body and hang on their brothers' waists, and who would go with Leaf in human form, Leaf had no reason and could not bear to refuse them.

"... We will set off tomorrow, there is no need to return to our original body now."

"My lord, you agree?!"

You didn't give me a chance to refuse, did you!

"However, I still have to ask Gui. There will definitely be many opportunities like this in the future. I don't want you guys to be hurt because of this reason."

Of course, there was also Gui Xin.

"Yes!

We are already very satisfied that you have this intention! "

Leaf looked at their excited expressions, pondered for a moment, and said: "Why don't we go hunting in the afternoon, everyone together?"

This could be considered as giving away the experience of fighting side by side for the first time. If they could not go together for the mission tomorrow, at least it could lessen the regret slightly.

The swords did not refute at all and immediately agreed to this proposal.

In other words, as long as it was a request made by Leaf, there was nothing they would not agree to. They no longer had the domineering attitude they had when they were in the country.

As soon as Leaf made the decision, the swords and swords prepared the hunting tools — they just had to hold their original body firmly.

"This bow was left behind by the first inquisitor. My lord, you can try to use your spiritual power as an arrow. It is a good weapon for hunting or self-defense."

Komusubi came out with the bow and solemnly handed it to Leaf. Then he looked at Yamamochi standing in the corner and could not help but say one more sentence.

"This was given to Yamamochi by the first inquisitor. He has always treasured it."

Leaf took the bow with both hands, tilted her head, and then imitated the witch she saw before. She created an arrow of spiritual power and aimed at Yamamochi's head.

"My lord!"

It was too late to stop it. The arrow pierced through the air and went straight to Yamamochi's head, nailing the white cloth on his head to the wall behind him.

Suddenly losing the cloth, Yamamochi was stunned. He even felt a little cold on the top of his head and could not help but want to reach out and touch it.

"Ah, you are bald, Yamamochi."

The girl's teasing voice came from afar.
