Protagonist:

Zang Ye

……………

"Kagome, here."

Shippo took a waterskin and handed it to Kagome, saying somewhat doubtfully,

"This girl, why does she hate yokai so much!?"

Kagome took the waterskin and replied, "Perhaps it's because she was attacked by yokai and suffered some injury."

"Come, drink some water!"

The girl's expression looked slightly pained, and only after a moment did she open her eyes, "Thank you!"

After drinking two sips of water, the girl regained some of her spirits and sat up.

"You're welcome."

"Oh, right, what was it that attacked you just now!?"

The girl glanced at Inuyasha and Zang Ye, and upon discovering there was no danger, she said, "That was... a Spider-Head Yokai!"

"Starting this spring, it has been occupying this mountain, and has already attacked several villages in a row. It builds its nest in corpses and lives by eating people. It is a very despicable and lowly yokai."

Kagome understood, "Oh, I see. I say, Zang Ye, Inuyasha, help her, okay!?"

Zang Ye had actually been pricking up his ears to listen ever since the girl woke up.

"This kind of thing, leave it to Zang Ye, sir."

Zang Ye patted his chest and sat down beside the girl, "It's just a small yokai, no need to worry too much."

"May I ask, how old are you this year?"

Seeing Zang Ye so close, the girl's expression changed slightly, and she reluctantly pulled back a bit of distance.

"Rogue!"

Kagome laughed awkwardly, "This guy is just like this. However, he is very strong and can be considered a reliable person; dealing with ordinary yokai is no problem for him."

Kagome was very angry in her heart (This Zang Ye, getting so close, surely wants to take advantage again.)

The girl looked at Zang Ye with some doubt, and upon seeing Zang Ye's lewd appearance, her face stiffened slightly, then after a moment she recovered, "You're not a yokai, are you!?"

"Just now, it seemed like something saved me."

Hearing this, Zang Ye curled the corners of his mouth into a smile, touched his hair, and then put on an innocent face, "In your eyes, am I just a yokai!? That is truly heartbreaking."

Although it looked very fake, this girl believed it.

Seeing Zang Ye's aggrieved appearance, the girl hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."

Shippo's mouth twitched, (This Zang Ye guy, when he acts innocent, ordinary people really can't tell. If it weren't for having gotten along with him for so long, they would also be deceived by his surface.)

Myoga sat on Inuyasha's shoulder, looking amazed, "Zang Ye, you really understand girls."

Inuyasha made a cutting sound, "This guy's mouth, can you believe it? Surely he wants to take advantage."

Kagome: (Indeed, he's good at lying.)

Thinking of being taken advantage of by Zang Ye, Kagome's face turned black.

"Zang Ye, move away a bit. Speak properly, don't get too close."

It turned out that when the girl apologized, Zang Ye had moved closer again, his body almost pressed against the girl's, and the girl's expression flashed with embarrassment, but she didn't know what to say.

Zang Ye was thrilled in his heart.

But, being exposed by Kagome, Zang Ye backed off a bit, coughed twice to conceal his embarrassment, and said, "Kagome, I actually wanted to check if she was injured. After all, many yokai are poisonous, and it's not good if it gets on a wound. Treatment must be timely."

(Damn it, Kagome, ruining my fun again. However, this girl is really innocent.)

Kagome looked at him with a doubtful expression, "Really!?"

"Getting so close, isn't it to take advantage of her!?"

The girl lowered her head and silently moved away.

Zang Ye glanced at her, then understood.

"Then let's go, let's see just how strong that so-called Spider-Head Yokai is."

Spider-Head Yokai, Zang Ye touched his head, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't recall such a yokai.

(Probably just an ordinary small yokai, so there's no impression in my mind. However, I should be able to sign in, right!? Anyway, there's no danger.)

…………………Boundary Line………………

"The temple is ahead."

The girl pointed to a temple on the mountain ahead, only to see incense smoke swirling above it.

"We're here..." Kagome saw the temple on the mountain and discovered there was still a long way to go, with an expression of exhaustion.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the temple, and the one who came out to welcome them was an old monk, with a kind expression.

"Xiao Lian, who are these people!?"

Facing the old monk's question, Xiao Lian ran to him, "Master!"

"I originally wanted to pick flowers to offer at the grave, but ended up being attacked by the Spider-Head Yokai. They saved me, and even promised to come here to help eliminate the Spider-Head Yokai."

The old monk nodded, "Oh, so you've come to eliminate the Spider-Head Yokai."

"You are very welcome, stay here overnight tonight!"

Kagome and Shippo both looked delighted.

"That's great."

This is much better than sleeping rough in the wilderness.

Although with Inuyasha and Zang Ye around there's no need to worry about safety, I still prefer staying in a house.

Zang Ye frowned slightly, sensing a hidden demonic aura from the old monk's body.

But the system surprisingly didn't give a sign-in prompt, which made him feel very strange.

Inuyasha noticed Zang Ye's odd expression, walked over and asked, "Zang Ye, did you find something?"

Zang Ye raised his head, just about to speak, when he saw the old monk's gaze sweep over; he said with a smile, "Inuyasha, when you look at a girl, do you look at her chest first, or her butt, or maybe her face?"

Inuyasha's face darkened, "You bastard, thinking about such boring things again!"

"Thought you had actually found something."

Seeing the two bickering, the old monk smiled meaningfully.

"Xiao Lian, go prepare a meal to entertain the guests."

After hearing this, Xiao Lian replied, "Okay~"

Old Monk: "This child Xiao Lian is very pitiful. Her parents died miserably at the hands of the Spider Head Yokai; ever since then I've been taking care of her."

Kagome: "Excuse me, are there a lot of Spider Head Yokai in this area!?"

Old Monk: "Maybe because of the war chaos, with so many dead, the Spider Head Yokai have also become more numerous, and they move in packs!"

Kagome's face changed drastically, "Move in packs..."

Zang Ye: "That's really trouble. Should we leave here first?"

Inuyasha: "Good idea, Kagome, let's leave here first."

Because tonight is the New Moon Night, Inuyasha really doesn't want to stay here, in danger.

Old Monk: "Better not leave yet. It's already dark; traveling at night makes it very easy to run into Spider Head Yokai, far more dangerous than daytime."

Kagome and Shippo, hearing the old monk say this, hastily nodded.

"Then let's stay one night first, talk tomorrow; traveling at night is too dangerous."

"Right! Right! Let's go tomorrow."

In the end, the group agreed to spend the night at the temple.
