After listening to Liu and Natsume's speculation, Katori showed a helpless expression. "Even if you say it's my fault …"

No, wait, it seemed to make sense. Katori stopped talking and made a contemplative expression.

Xiao Bai seemed to have said that some Spirit-branded Retainers lived in seclusion in the modern world. Combined with the current information, it was possible that they were here for her. So what was the point of all this?

Was it revenge for her leaving in the past?

She didn't want to admit it!

But if she followed this train of thought …

Crap, she couldn't think of anyone who would do this.

Katori looked up at the two boys with an innocent expression.

Liu could guess what was going on when he saw Katori's expression. He sighed helplessly. "Forget it, if that's the case, at least we won't be in danger."

"But we're not sure yet …" Katori struggled to reply in a small voice, but Liu ignored her.

"Although this is the most likely guess, it doesn't mean there won't be any danger. I can't go with you, so I'll leave Katori to you." Liu looked at Natsume with a serious expression.

Natsume also nodded seriously. "I will."

'What are these two doing … their conversation is so strange.'

Katori complained in her mind as she looked at the map. There were a few simple lines on it, marking the locations of Countess (Yukimura) and Caterpillar (Liu). Then, a large and thick red line pointed to the edge of the paper and broke off, as if it was afraid that others wouldn't know that it was the main point.

This level of drawing was comparable to when she was in elementary school … No, it wasn't even as good as when she was in elementary school.

Katori's mouth twitched as she rubbed her temples as she looked at the obvious tear marks on the map.

So the next step was to follow this line to find the other half of the map?

How should she put it … Although it was very considerate of its low difficulty, it wasn't anything new.

After silently acknowledging that this demon was her former Spirit-branded Retainer, Katori couldn't help but become arrogant and picky.

I'm with you. You're going to get beat up, really.

After saying goodbye to Willow, Katori and Natsume followed the path on the map without any obstructions for quite a while. Although they were hindered by all sorts of strange things and wasted a lot of time, they still managed to reach their destination in the end. At the same time, they also saw two familiar figures.

"Yo, Yuji, Yue Ren, I saw you guys standing here from afar."

Katori smiled and said hello to her partner, who was wearing the same outfit. She quickened her pace under Sunrise's urging.

"Yo, Katori." This was Ren Zu, who was still relatively calm.

Sunrise, on the other hand, was not as patient. He could not help but complain before and after Katori arrived, "You're too slow!

The Nin Of Gojoseon arrived a long time ago! "

"Hey, Jaji has already been here."

Katori forgot that the Nin Of Gojoseon could also move freely, but they were too unlucky to have not encountered one for so long.

"But why are you standing here? There's nothing to see here. You can't be giving us directions, right?"

Ren Zu and Sunrise were standing at a fork in the road. Katori looked around and didn't see any signs, so she couldn't help but joke.

Ren Zu and Sunrise instantly fell silent.

Katori slowly stopped smiling. She didn't expect that she would be able to guess the truth just by saying something.

Couldn't this kind of thing just be done by putting up a road sign?

She felt that the development of this matter was like a superfluous character, and the author forced something to do.

"Well, we don't want to." In the end, it was Ren Zu who spoke first. He helplessly pushed up his glasses and explained, "We can't leave this place."

"… This place refers to this fork in the road?"

Katori, who received an affirmative answer, could not help but show a sympathetic look.

It was too miserable, even more miserable than Yukimura and Liu Zilang.

Sunrise, who had been mocked by the Nin Of Gojoseon not long ago, clicked his tongue. He looked at Natsume, who couldn't get a word in, and said angrily, "Hey, Katori, who's this guy?"

Under the gaze of Ren Zu and Sunrise, Katori subconsciously turned sideways and shielded Natsume behind her. Ren Zu and Sunrise's expressions instantly became subtle.

Katori also couldn't explain the meaning of her move. She only thought about it for two seconds before she gave up on the meaningless question.

"Boys will always be embarrassed when they're forced to wear skirts. Don't stare at him."

How could such a subconscious protection be for such a simple reason?!

Sunrise didn't believe it at all. He believed that Ren Zu had the same idea as him.

But now wasn't the time to dwell on this issue. After a simple self-introduction, Katori directly asked them where the two roads led to.

"Mine leads to the rabbit hole," Ren Zu pointed to the road beside him. "Yue Ren's road leads to Crazy Afternoon Tea."

"By the way, the Nin Of Gojoseon takes mine," Sunrise added in annoyance.

"What a simple and crude way of naming," Katori complained in her heart. She thought for two seconds and said to Natsume, "Then let's go to the rabbit hole first."

"According to the original story, shouldn't we be going to Crazy Afternoon Tea?" Ren Zu was puzzled.

"Yeah, if it's the white rabbit … Aren't you here?

Why are we going to the rabbit hole? "Natsume was a little confused.

"You can't run around in a skirt, right?

You can go to the rabbit hole to see if there are any suitable clothes, "Katori patiently explained to him.

Natsume was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. "Thank you."

After Katori and Natsume left, Sunrise couldn't help but poke Ren Zu's waist and tease, "Yuji, do you think Katori is interested in that guy?"

Ren Zu pushed his glasses up with a blank expression. "Don't talk nonsense."

"Tsk."

After being bored for a long time, Sunrise finally found something to talk about. But before he could say anything, he was rejected. He squatted down angrily and pulled at the grass. Bastard Yuji, he was going to break up with him for ten minutes!

Although Katori thought that the rabbit hole was her territory and that it was fine to change into a new set of clothes, the fantasy did not take this into consideration at all.

Katori looked at the empty cupboard and thought for a moment, then suggested, "Why don't we exchange clothes?"

She was a girl anyway, so wearing a skirt was fine.

"Huh?"

Natsume paused for two seconds before he reacted. He thought of something and took two steps back in a panic. His face was flushed. "No, no need."

Xiamu stuttered as he looked out of the window. The sun shone on the side of his face, and his red earlobes looked particularly clear under the sunlight.

Katori was a little confused by his reaction. "What's wrong?"

Natsume still didn't say anything. He was a little annoyed that Katori didn't care, but he couldn't directly tell her what he cared about.

Katori didn't feel embarrassed at all about the exchange of underwear. She looked at Natsume who looked like he wanted to run out of the room. She shrugged and pushed his back to the door. "Okay, okay. If you don't want to change, then don't change. As long as you don't mind wearing women's clothes."

She was afraid that he would be shy. After all, he didn't know anyone outside. Being forced to wear women's clothes in public would be a huge shock to Natsume's personality.

"I'm the only one who can see you in women's clothes," Katori whispered.

Natsume, who was walking out with Katori's help, didn't hear what she said. He asked subconsciously, "What did you just say?"
