Chapter 141: Dig it out
"Is everything going well?"
Sesshomaru carefully scanned Natsume's body up and down. Although he didn't smell blood and knew that Natsume was probably uninjured, he still couldn't help but confirm.
"Well, it went very well."
Natsume nodded, feeling very good:
"This herb is just for the purpose of protecting itself, and it forms a layer of secretions on the outside that is toxic to creatures other than humans. I They are humans, so they are not in any danger at all."
Natsume didn't mention the beasts he encountered, because they were not even monsters. They were very powerful for ordinary people, but they were completely incompetent in front of Natsume. He even It only took a few small spells to destroy them all, which was why Sesshomaru didn't smell blood.
This is what is called killing without blood.
"In the future, if you get injured, there will be herbs with better effects. Although I hope you will never be injured!" Natsume said to Sesshomaru while packing the herbs. Because his back was to Sesshomaru, there was
no Seeing Sesshomaru's eyes softened in an instant because of his words.
As they spoke, the sky was slowly getting brighter, and there was already the sound of maids cleaning outside. However, because they didn't know Natsume and Sesshomaru's schedule, they didn't dare to come in and disturb their sleep. Natsume and Sesshomaru took the initiative to open the door. After going out, they carefully brought the toiletries.
Breakfast was still eaten with the village chief. In fact, the village chief really wanted the maid to send breakfast to Natsume and Sesshomaru's room for them to eat by themselves. Unfortunately, after much deliberation, he did not dare to do so. Once those two saw it, What if the powerful monster feels that he has neglected them and eats him in a rage?
Therefore, even though he couldn't eat anything in front of the two monsters, the village chief still forced a smile and accompanied Natsume and Sesshomaru to have a tasteless breakfast.
After finishing the meal, the village chief was racking his brains to think about whether he should break up the room by asking the two monsters whether they slept well last night and whether they were satisfied with their service. With a dull breath of embarrassment, a piece of good news instantly made him lose his worries and even made him excited -
the tailor who delivered the clothes had arrived!
The village chief didn't even bother to say a word of gratitude to the tailor who had worked so hard to deliver the clothes. He quickly took all the clothes and carefully placed them in front of Natsume and Sesshomaru: "Two adults, all the clothes
The clothes are all here, please see if you are satisfied."
As he asked, the village chief's heart was actually very high and he could not relax at all.
Previously, he hoped that the clothes would be delivered soon so that he could get rid of these two monsters with a strong sense of presence. But now that the clothes have been delivered, the village chief is worried that the two monsters will be dissatisfied and take it out on him.
As the head of a village, this village head has also gone out to see the world. Not to mention the young monster, but the older and very cold monster. The fabric of the clothes he wears is definitely not ordinary, and the pattern and style Quite exquisite too!
Therefore, although the village chief chose the best fabrics for the clothes he bought for his son, he was still afraid that these two monsters, who seemed to have extraordinary backgrounds, would not look down on them.
Sesshomaru took the lead in opening the box of clothes, then picked up the top piece and touched it, and then his beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly. The village chief was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees - no
Well, do these two monsters really dislike the clothes they bought? What to do, what to do, what to do!
The village chief was all lost.
At this moment, the village chief was very regretful, and he shouldn't have been reluctant to part with this family fortune. Moreover, seeing that Natsume and Sesshomaru had never killed anyone, he was lucky enough not to escape last night!
Now, even if you want to run away, you can't run away!
——
"What's wrong, Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru's emotional changes can even be felt by the village chief of an ordinary human village, let alone Natsume, who is more sensitive and has been with Sesshomaru for so long.
Are those clothes bad?
Natsume glanced at Sesshomaru's shaken clothes. They looked pretty good. Although it was a kimono style that he didn't often wear, compared to the coarse cloth clothes worn by the villagers, this one was better in both style and fabric. Much better, right?
"It's too rough."
Sesshomaru's frowned brows still showed no intention of relaxing. Because he was too dissatisfied, his fingers were about to move, and the sharp nails were about to pop out.
"Calm down, Sesshomaru!"
Natsume, who saw the change in Sesshomaru, quickly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the back of Sesshomaru's hand to stop the nails from popping up:
"This fabric is made of different material from your body. When your nails come out, it will definitely It will be scrapped."
How sharp Sesshomaru's nails are. Apart from Sesshomaru and the enemies he killed, probably only Natsume knows best. He has seen Sesshomaru just scratching lightly with his nails more than once. , the huge monster had its throat cut off and died.
The monster's tough skin couldn't stop Sesshomaru's nails, so how could a mere ordinary piece of clothing?
"If it's ruined, it's ruined. This kind of clothes
is not worthy of you." This is what Sesshomaru said, but the impatient movement of his fingertips has stopped. It seems that the clothes have been saved, but he is still very dissatisfied in his heart. .
Not to mention the clothes he was wearing, they were the clothes Natsume had worn from his own era. Which of them was made of such rough material?
Don't forget, although Sesshomaru is a monster, if monsters also have society and class stratification, he can definitely be ranked in the first column, belong to the aristocratic class, and naturally have the best food and clothing.
——
"Just wear it, it's better than what I'm wearing, isn't it?"
Natsume compared the clothes he was wearing, which had become even more tattered after running around all night, and showed a shallow smile to Sesshomaru. :
"I can't wait to put on new clothes."
The craftsmanship of that dress is naturally not as good as modern clothes that have become countless times more advanced after hundreds of years of tempering, but Natsume is already very satisfied. He is not too picky. Man, besides, these clothes are indeed better than the best, but better than the worst.
"Let's go change clothes."
Originally, Sesshomaru was still struggling with the material of the clothes, but when he noticed Natsume's fair skin exposed from the gaps in his broken clothes, his eyes turned cold and all his persistence disappeared. What should I do if I suddenly want to dig out the eyes of everyone around me?
Chapter 142: Unintentional intervention
Natsume took the clothes and glanced at Sesshomaru strangely. He didn't understand where his inexplicable murderous intention came from. Although Sesshomaru had always been very indifferent to life, he usually did not have such a strong murderous intention, so Only Natsume would find it strange.
"What's wrong, Sesshomaru?"
Natsume asked Sesshomaru in a low voice, trying to find out if something happened that he had ignored.
"It's okay."
Sesshomaru said calmly, the cold murderous aura had been withdrawn, as if nothing had happened. Of course, he was the only one who knew best. In fact, it had already happened, but it was just suppressed in the deepest part of his heart. Always waiting to burst out.
"Really?"
Natsume raised an eyebrow, knowing that Sesshomaru didn't tell the truth, but it wasn't a big deal, so Natsume didn't continue to ask questions and went straight back to the room to change clothes.
It wasn't until one day later, when the relationship between Natsume and Sesshomaru had changed into another form, and thinking about what happened that day, Natsume vaguely realized the reason why Sesshomaru showed murderous intent at that time.
Of course, that's all for later. Both Natsume and Sesshomaru now think that the relationship between the two of them will remain as it is now, until one of them goes to the underworld or the Soul Society first.
Natsume is not a woman who likes to dress up, and a man's kimono is much easier to wear than a woman's, so Natsume didn't let Sesshomaru wait long and soon came out wearing new clothes.
Looking at Natsume who reappeared in front of him, wearing blue bottoms with white clouds, something flashed through Sesshomaru's eyes quickly, but the speed was so fast that even Natsume, who had sharp facial features, did not notice it.
"The size is just right."
Natsume raised his arm and said with satisfaction to Sesshomaru.
Due to Natsume's habits in her previous life, she almost always wore casual clothes that were convenient for movement when she came to this world. Therefore, even though she has known Sesshomaru for so many years, Sesshomaru has really never seen Natsume wearing traditional Japanese clothing like now. apparel.
I don't know why, but he was still the same person, just with a change of clothes, but his temperament seemed to have changed slightly. Seeing it in Sesshomaru's eyes actually made his heart beat faster for a moment.
That trace of strangeness was quickly suppressed by Sesshomaru's powerful self-control ability. He didn't think deeply about the reason why he had such strange emotions. Maybe Natsume had caused his mood swings too many times, so Sesshomaru Maru ignored that the situation this time seemed a little different from before.
Because of Sesshomaru's deliberate suppression and Natsume's ignorance, the relationship between man and monster remained the same as before, seemingly unchanged.
But, has nothing really changed? Only Sesshomaru himself knows.
Since the clothes were of the right size, Sesshomaru unceremoniously packed up the remaining new clothes together. From the beginning to the end, the village chief smiled and showed no sign of resistance.
What a joke, if the two monsters could be dispatched with just a few clothes, the village chief would be too late to be excited, so how could he be angry?
Natsume here saw that after Sesshomaru had put away all his clothes, he reached into Sesshomaru's arms and took out a bag of coins and threw it in front of the village chief. Although his legal awareness was weak, the village chief was still a human being after all. Natsume still couldn't do something like robbing other people's things by force.
——
"Money to buy clothes."
Natsume said calmly, and then left side by side with Sesshomaru without looking back.
"Don't... don't..."
Looking at the bag of coins in front of him, the village chief was stunned for a moment, and then quickly jumped up as if he was clicked. He picked up the bag of money and walked towards the man who had walked away. Natsume and Sesshomaru chased after him:
"I owe those clothes to you two adults. You two adults should take the money back!"
Want the monster's money?
Thinking about it makes the village chief tremble all over. What if one day those two monsters regret and kill him? Just take a few pieces of clothing and take them away. What kind of money do you have to pay?
It's a pity that, not to mention that the village leader is just an ordinary old man, even ordinary monsters can't catch up with the speed of Natsume and Sesshomaru. In a few breaths, the village leader's sight is empty.
"This money... this money..."
The village chief held the money bag as if he was holding a hot potato. He could neither throw it away nor take it back. Natsume's move gave the village chief a big problem. Hana Youkai The money given? The village chief is not so courageous, he is afraid of being cursed! But when he returned, he couldn't find anyone, no, he couldn't find the demon. The village chief felt so worried that his head ached.
In the end, it was the village chief's son, whose clothes were robbed by Natsume and Sesshomaru, who gave his father an idea - to
pay the money!
Yes, you read that right, they offer it like a Buddha statue, and give some tributes on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Firstly, for peace of mind, and secondly, there is an explanation for the two monsters once they come back.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or if the monster’s money is really a bit evil. After that, this small village suddenly became lucky. Not only did it have good weather for many years, but the war never affected this place, making this small village richer and richer, and its population also increased. It quickly grew in size and slowly turned into a large village.
People in this era are very feudal. Anyway, the village chief believed that this was the good luck brought by the bag of money, so he became more and more respectful to the bag of money, and the offering changed from the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar month. It's done every day.
Natsume and Sesshomaru, who had already left, didn't know about these things, but even if they knew about them, they would quickly forget about them, and they would become nothing more than a joke.
Now Natsume and Sesshomaru are still on the road to collect the four soul fragments. No, or to be more precise, a certain monster is offering a treasure to the human boy.
——Looking
at the handsome horse in front of him, which was all white except for the mane and tail that were brown, Natsume's eyes were shocked at first, and then slowly turned into love.
Men have a natural love for horses and luxury cars, and this naturally includes Natsume. He had known before that Sesshomaru was secretly preparing a mount for him. He didn't want to let Sesshomaru's kindness down, although he felt it was not necessary. But he always pretended not to know, and even cooperated with him secretly.
Regarding the monster mount, to be honest, Natsume didn't really have much feeling or expectation before, but the monster horse in front of him made Natsume change his mind instantly, and suddenly felt that having a monster mount seemed to be a very good thing!
