Kikyo, who had just finished a battle, had no time to look for a village to settle down. They could only set up temporary camp in the nearby mountains and forests. "Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall." Nanxing acted quickly. Without any need for Kikyo to signal, a temporary shelter made of earth and stones was built in an instant. ——Thanks to Kikyo, he became more and more proficient in using the Earth Flow Wall. "I think it makes sense that Kakashi, who ran out of mana, could still carve a dog head on the earth wall." As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Long-term use has enabled his body to develop muscle memory. As a result, whenever he used the ninjutsu [Earth Flow Wall], walls would appear on all four sides. But of course.
Since it is impossible to create walls out of thin air, this shelter has no roof. Fortunately, the weather is good today. If you look up a little, you can see the bright starry sky. And that pretty face that is several times more peaceful than the moon. "Kikyo." Looking at the witch leaning against the wall with her eyes closed and resting, Nanxing called out subconsciously. However, when Kikyo opened her eyes in confusion after hearing the call, he felt a little regretful. He didn't even know what to say to Kikyo. ——If you think about it carefully, apart from defeating monsters, he and Kikyo don’t even have any common topics. No, that's not right. Actually there is one. "If I said I could see you die, would you believe me?" After hesitating for a very long time, Nanxing finally made up his mind. The identity of the time traveler is indeed a secret, but if the other party is Kikyo... Nanxing feels that there should be nothing that cannot be said. If even Kikyo is not trustworthy, then there should be no one in this world who is trustworthy. Nanxing thought silently in his heart. The idea gradually became firmer. No matter what the outcome, he would tell Kikyo what he knew. To repay her for saving him from the group of monsters. However, what Nanxing didn't expect was.
"Are you finally willing to tell the truth?" In response to his statement, Kikyo made this response. Nanxing looked up in disbelief. A smile came into his eyes. Tell a ghost story: Kikyo smiled. She actually laughed! "I thought you would hold out a little longer." She spoke softly, leaning forward and sitting up from the blazing campfire. "Then please start your story, Mr. Mysterious Ninja." Chapter 6 She Stopped Talking Kikyo realized very early on that something was wrong with Nanxing. After all, before she met Nanxing, she had never heard that ninjas also had the ability to exorcise monsters. ——This is clearly the job of an Onmyoji, a shrine maiden, or an exorcist. At the same time, the various strange things displayed by Nanxing made Kikyo certain that he was definitely not an ordinary person. “Perhaps, there is also some kind of [Destiny] in him?” Faced with this unusual young man, Kikyo made such a judgment. But after that, she did not express the doubts in her heart. She believes in fate, and even more in destiny. If Nanxing is willing to talk to her, she is willing to listen. If Nanxing doesn't want to talk to her, she won't force him. Just, now. Looking at Nanxing, who finally couldn't bear the secret in his heart anymore and wanted to find someone to talk to. Although Kikyo didn't care in her heart, she finally revealed a faint smile. ——She still cares. …… Kikyo's eyes gradually softened. But unfortunately, Nanxing now has no time to guess the changes in Kikyo's inner emotions.
He was organizing his thoughts as quickly as possible. "Pick up the important ones." After a moment, he spoke. "Do you know the Four Souls Jade?" Nanxing asked. Kikyo nodded slightly. The Four Souls Jade created by the shrine maiden Tsuiko is considered a legendary treasure in their shrine world. There was no reason for her not to know. But what Kikyo didn't expect was that her "destiny" would eventually be fulfilled by that precious jade. "In the future, you will become a [Jade-guarding Miko]." "Many monsters coveted the precious jade, but you killed them all one by one." "However, there are two monsters that are somewhat special." Nanxing said bluntly. He talked about Inuyasha, and the spider demon. He also talked about Naraku's design, and the reincarnation from five hundred years later, Higurashi Kagome. Kikyo listened quietly to Nanxing's story. She knew that Nanxing was stating her fate. But from her perspective, this is telling the story of another girl. It’s just that the girl also happened to be called “Kikyo” and she also happened to be a shrine maiden. And at the very end, when Nanxing told Kikyo that her soul finally returned to the earth. "That's good." "The dead shouldn't be wandering around in this world." She said thankfully. Be thankful for the shrine maiden who is also named "Kikyo". I am also grateful for who I am now. "Thank you for telling me so many things." Facing Nanxing, who was a little thirsty after just telling a story, Kikyo thanked her from the bottom of her heart. For her. The "destiny" that was originally vague has now become clear.
"Four Souls Jade...huh?" …… This was definitely an impressive night for Nanxing. He and Kikyo have known each other for a long time. But if we were to ask when their relationship changed for the better, it was probably tonight. "Yes, the Four Souls Jade." Nanxing spoke out all his thoughts at once and continued what Kikyo had said. "So, what are you going to do?" "For example, killing that ghost spider in advance or something." he asked tentatively. This is also the usual thinking of time travelers. It is absolutely the right thing to do to nip the danger in the bud. But Kikyo doesn't seem to think so. "Do not." She shook her head and answered very firmly. "Ghost Spider is Ghost Spider, and Naraku is Naraku." She can tell the difference very clearly. Spider Demon is a human and Naraku is a monster. It is always the case that the spider ghost will degenerate into a monster because of his selfish desires in the future. But she will not implicate the current Spider Demon because of the future Naraku. ——She is a witch, and her duty is to exorcise demons, not to judge humans. "That's right." Nanxing felt a little regretful. However, it doesn’t matter anymore. He already knew Kikyo's personality - cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and that was exactly the kind of person she was talking about. In fact, if Nanxing guessed correctly, Kikyo might have already reached the level of "half-step saint". She no longer considers herself a human being. In her eyes, she is the guardian of order and the mediator between humans and monsters.
As the leader of the contemporary witch world and the undisputed leader among the folk exorcists, she cannot have too many personal feelings. Otherwise, it will be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. It is also for this reason that she deliberately distances herself from her own sister Feng. Because she has more important things to shoulder, she cannot focus on personal desires. ——This is what Kikyo thought. "So what if I help you get rid of that ghost spider?" Nanxing asked very seriously.
