Chapter 16 It's Not a Tanuki, It's a Raccoon

A bundle of firewood may not be able to change this oppressed life, but it is enough to feed the family today.

Therefore, even if they know that there are many evil spirits in the mountains and forests, some young people will still take their not-so-sharp hatchets and walk in the wilderness.

It's all about making a living.

In addition to firewood, there are occasionally some special harvests, such as those wooden barrels and boxes displayed under the trees.

Of course ordinary people would not place these things in the wilderness. Most of them are food and drinking water collected by Qiuqiu people.

Although it may only be simple vegetables such as guava, sunflower seeds or cabbage, it is still a big harvest for the poor family of Inazuma.

It would be great if we could find some more molas or shiny jewelry.

This is what the young man who came to chop wood today thought.

He heard that there was a gathering place for Qiuqiu people nearby, so he wanted to try his luck there.

It’s hard to say whether this is a gathering place for Qiuqiu people, because although there are traces nearby, they don’t look like traces of Qiuqiu people.

Because even Qiuqiu people know that violet melon needs to be peeled and boiled to be delicious.

Eating a pansy melon...which kind of warrior is this?

But apart from these traces, young people really have what they want.

This is a more delicate wooden barrel than ordinary wooden barrels.

Although it looks a bit small, it doesn't look like the craftsmanship of the Qiuqiu people. Instead, it looks like a wine barrel.

"I...I'm about to be transferred?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then ran over excitedly and tried to knock on the barrel.

Because if this is really a wine barrel, so much wine must be worth a lot of molas.

As he knocked, the barrel made a dull thumping sound. It didn't sound like it was filled with liquid, but rather like it was filled with something real.

No matter what, it must contain good stuff.

When he tried to brush off the fallen leaves on the barrel, he noticed that one of the leaves seemed to be stuck to the barrel and could not be removed no matter how hard he pulled it.

"strangeness......"

When he tried to pick it off again, he only heard a bang, and after a burst of smoke dissipated, a big tail actually appeared next to the barrel.

"Raccoon...Raccoon cat!!!!"

When the young man saw this, his expression suddenly changed. He couldn't care about anything else and ran away in fright.

The mountains and forests are rich in raccoon demons, and he knows this.

Although this kind of little thing is not lethal, monsters represent ominous things everywhere.

Especially civet cats.

Unlike Tengu, the monsters that protect the mountains and forests, tanukis often transform into various strange appearances to play tricks on passing humans.

This also gives them a bad reputation among humans, and there is even a strange saying that seeing a raccoon demon will bring bad luck.

And this method of transformation with leaves on the head is exactly the rumored magic of civet cats.

"It's not a civet cat... it's a raccoon dog!"

The wooden barrel was completely gone, replaced by a small figure dressed as a ninja.

She stretched out and rubbed her head with confusion on her face.

She always felt as if someone had knocked her on the head while she was sleeping.

"Senior, now...ugh!?"

After recovering from her drowsiness, she originally wanted to ask her senior, who was also a ninja in the final chapter, for the time, but she found that her companions were no longer in the forest, and she was the only one left.

"Am I being given up again?"

After being stunned for a few seconds, she realized that she seemed to have been given up by her companions because she was sleepy again.

"It seems...there's nothing bad about it."

Yawning again, Zaoyu said to himself slightly sleepily.

Last night, I was originally ordered to go to the room of the senior executive of the Fool to find out information, but I didn't expect that I was discovered.

Even if she was discovered, the guy still persisted in chasing her for so long.

If the tengu hadn't appeared in time, interrupting the other party's tracking.

Hayao couldn't even imagine what he would go through after being caught.

It is said that those fools would skin and cramp the captured civet cats and make the thick fur into a fur cloak... No! Hayato is a raccoon dog! Not a civet cat!

Yes, it's all that fool's fault!

If he hadn't been chasing her for so long, she wouldn't have fallen asleep during the mission due to sleepiness.

He won't be abandoned by his teammates because of this.

Hmm... speaking of it, my mission seems to be...

"Ugh——"

As if he remembered something, Zaoyou's eyes, which were almost too sleepy to open, suddenly opened as wide as light bulbs.

"Oops! It's too late!"

She finally realized why she had been abandoned.

It's not that senior left her here to continue sleeping in order to take care of her.

It's just that she has a new mission.

She must go see the woman before noon.

Otherwise...otherwise...

I think of the ghost who had to eat ramen with soy products even though he was allergic, and was almost sent away in the end.

Zao You was shocked again.

It is said that the ghost clan lay in bed for a month before recovering.

To be able to make a ghost who is allergic to soy products do this, that woman...that woman is too scary, don't mess with her! You must not mess with her! Go to the appointment quickly!

Thinking like this, her tiredness completely disappeared.

Wuhu flow? The wind is hidden and advancing rapidly!

After forming the seal, Zayou jumped high into the sky, and the full wind element could even be seen with the naked eye.

After she hugged her legs, the wind element also completely enveloped her.

And she herself was like a wheel, rolling in the mountains and forests.

Speaking of which, although this ninjutsu is very useful, it also has serious side effects.

It's like spinning like a wheel, which will inevitably make you dizzy.

Even though Hayao is a specially trained ninja, she still can't maintain it for too long. If it takes too long...

But now she doesn't care so much.

She was more afraid of that woman than the whole world was spinning because of dizziness.

Relying on the blessing of the wind element, Zaoyou actually arrived at Inazuma Castle earlier than Shiro even though he started late.

"So...so dizzy..."

After arriving outside Inazuma Castle, Hayao finally reached his limit.

Amidst the barking of an Akita dog, she held on to the cherry blossom tree outside the city and almost vomited out what she ate last night.

No...she seemed to have eaten a violet melon last night.

This thing is violet melon. If the pulp is used to make soup, it will definitely be a delicacy.

But if you chew it raw, it’s hard to explain.

Well, now is not the time to think about that.

After driving away the barking vicious dog, Zaoyou came to the waterwheel, picked up a clear spring water, and slapped it on his face.

The cold spring water alleviated the dizziness caused by her rolling.

After glancing around to make sure there was no strange person following him, Hayao wandered into Inazuma Castle.

Inazuma Castle was not very lively at noon.

Even though most ordinary people don't have such a thing as the Eye of God, the Eye Hunting Order is still like a huge boulder, making them somewhat breathless.

Rather than being interrogated by Tianling followers on the street, most of them would rather stay at home.

If it is not necessary, not many people would be willing to go out.

"Oops...you're going to be late!"

After looking at the sun in the sky and making some mental calculations, Zaoyu's face turned even darker.

If her calculations were correct, even if she rushed to Wu Youting with all her strength, she would still be late by at least three minutes.

"Ugh...that woman will never let me go!"

"That woman?"

Just when she was dejected, a playful voice suddenly came from her ears.
Chapter completed!
