Chapter 20 Wish

The two walked up the mountain. It was almost dark at this time, and the surrounding trees were faintly shadowed, which was inexplicably gloomy.

Ibaraki held Chu Zhou's hand tightly. Just now he was desperately wishing to kill those humans, but now he was feeling a little happier, and he said briskly: "Brother, there is an abandoned temple on the top of the mountain. We can use it in the future." Live there."

Seeing that Ibaraki was no longer as sad as before, Chu Zhou also felt a little relieved, and asked casually, "Oh? How did you know?"

"..." Ibaraki paused for a moment, hesitating for a while, "Uh... Well, when my brother went out before, I would come to meet the little monsters here, brother, you won't be angry, right?"

Of course Chu Zhou would not be angry, he just said with emotion: "You have grown up." He was worried that Ibaraki seldom gets along with others and is too dependent on him. Now the other party finally has other friends, but he didn't expect to hide it from him. Looking at him, is this the rebellious period of a child?

"I didn't tell my brother because they are all monsters. Aren't humans afraid of monsters? I'm afraid that if my brother finds out, he won't want me." Although Chu Zhou said he wasn't angry, Ibaraki finally explained the reason with some worry. .

The tree shadows on the side of the road shook for a while, as if to cheer him up.

"No," Chu Zhou looked at him seriously, "Aren't you the strongest among these monsters? I'm not afraid of you, so why would I be afraid of other monsters?"

Ibaraki looked a little shy from his focused eyes, and dodged his eyes for a while, "Does brother think so? Then I will definitely become the most powerful monster."

Chu Zhou said with a smile: "Well, I believe you."

While talking, they had reached the top of the mountain.

The moonlight was clear and light, and the temple not far away could only faintly see a layer of outline, a dark mass, standing there like a giant.

Chu Zhou was thinking about how to make a fire in this wilderness, when Ibaraki raised his hand, and a ball of fire burst out from the trees by the roadside.

Chu Zhou: ...Why are there lantern ghosts everywhere?

Following the bright light, he walked straight into the temple, and as soon as he entered the main hall, before he could clearly see the layout inside, the lantern ghost quickly floated out of the door: "Izu, Ibaraki Doji, I will retreat first."

"Wait." Ibaraki called him, and lit a fire with his fire, ignoring the fading light from the other party's fright, and ordered with a paralyzed face, "Bring a few more lantern ghosts over here."

"Oh... yes, my lord." The Lantern Ghost uttered a strange syllable and left in a hurry.

Chu Zhou looked at Ibaraki with interest, he had never seen Ibaraki like this before.

Ibaraki coughed uncomfortably, turned his face away, his earlobe was slightly red.

"Brother, brother, I'm going to find something to eat."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went out. Hearing the chuckle behind him, he couldn't help walking even faster.

Not long after Ibaraki left, a group of lantern ghosts had already arrived.

Chu Zhou watched them drift quietly to every corner, only the occasional "whoosh" sound when the fire was burning.

With the light they emitted and the fires lit, the layout of the entire temple was clearly revealed.

On both sides of the main entrance middle road are the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, and next to it may be the monk's house and the Zhaitang. The wooden piles of these buildings have been eroded by time, and some of the skins have peeled off, making them look very dilapidated.

And the main hall where he was waiting was covered with dust and cobwebs, the Buddha statues were incomplete, and the murals were mottled and blurred.

Chu Zhou was sitting by the fire and waiting for Ibaraki to come back when there was a faint sound coming from the corner.

"Are we really going to fight him?"

"Brother Ichitaro, you said that you can become a big shot after challenging him. Although I think we can't beat him."

"Stupid Santaro! We have an invincible skill passed down from our ancestors - brother fusion!"

"After all, it's just an ordinary neck ride, and why am I at the bottom?"

"Santaro, we will succeed!"

"Hey, don't ignore me!"

Chu Zhou walked over, and all he saw were three pairs of eyes under a piece of clothing. He stretched out his hand and lifted up the clothing, revealing the three brothers inside.

"Oops, oops, it was discovered."

"Brother Ichitaro, this seems to be human."

"Hey, yeah, it's great that it's not that big monster. Nitaro, calm down and don't move!"

"Then switch places for me."

Chu Zhou looked at a sickle weasel riding on the other neck, and asked with some amusement, "Are you here to look for Ibaraki?"

"Okay, it seems to be called that name." Ichitaro at the top replied in a daze.

"Then come and wait." Chu Zhou returned to the fire with his clothes on.

"Taro, hurry up."

"Hey, at least think about changing positions a little bit!"

Ertaro came over with the other two on his back.

"Can you tell me why I am looking for Ibaraki?"

Ichitaro proudly puffed up his chest: "Because we want to become big shots! Of course we need to find powerful monsters."

"Ibaraki, are you strong?"

"All the monsters on the mountain are afraid of him. He must be very strong."

"Really?..." Chu Zhou was thoughtful, Ibaraki seemed to be very persistent in becoming stronger, and the background stories found before the mission also mentioned his strength, so becoming the strongest, could it be his? What about wishes?In this case, will his wish come true?

Chu Zhou sighed. The wish to complete the task is the most sincere desire in the heart of the other party, and the player must participate in this process, and the goal achieved by itself does not count.If Ibaraki's wish has been fulfilled, I don't know if he has been involved.

When Ibaraki came back, he brought two treated hares, he glanced at the weasel that shrank into the corner because of his arrival, and ignored them.

Seeing his habitually slumped face in front of monsters, Chu Zhou smiled secretly, but he didn't make fun of him: "Shall we just eat this?"

"Ah."

Ibaraki sat next to him, put the rabbit on the fire, and turned it carefully.

"Is your goal to become the most powerful monster?" Chu Zhou asked suddenly, looking at the dancing flames.

Ibaraki was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

From the moment he was abandoned by humans, he wanted to have the greatest power.Now he is very strong, but different from the power that wanted to destroy at the beginning, now he keeps getting stronger to protect and to be with his brother forever.

Chu Zhou's eyes lit up, and he said in a complimenting tone: "Then, you are now the most powerful monster here."

Ibaraki did not deny that the monsters here are not very powerful, and some of them were already afraid of him when he was a child.

"Speaking of which, I used to be an onmyoji." Chu Zhou said half-truthfully, "If my ability is still there, would you be willing to be my shikigami?"

"Brother! You never said that before!" Ibaraki looked at him accusingly.

Wait, that's not the point.

Chu Zhou comforted: "Because my brother doesn't want to talk about the past anymore, and when I'm with Ibaraki, I can only think about the future."

"Yes, is it?" Ibaraki's ears turned red quickly.

Chu Zhou smiled at him: "Yes, so, if possible, would you like to be my Shikigami?"

"If it's my brother, of course I would."

There was no response, and the light of the flames was still in front of my eyes.

The task has not been completed, and Ibaraki's wish has not been realized.

"Brother, here." The food was already baked, Ibaraki tore off a piece and handed it to Chu Zhou, then looked at him with shining eyes.

Chu Zhou tasted it. Although there was no condiment, it was barely okay. He ate a few mouthfuls, tore off a piece and stuffed it into Ibaraki's mouth, "Eat quickly."

"Ok!"

The three Kamaitachi brothers in the corner sniffed the aroma and came over bit by bit, staring at the roasted rabbit and drooling.

Ibaraki looked at them blankly, and threw a piece of meat over, and the three brothers cheered and snatched it up.

By the time they finished eating, it was already late at night.

The Kamaitachi brothers thanked and ran away. Ibaraki cleaned up the debris, laid down his clothes on the other side of the fire, and called Chu Zhou expectantly: "Brother, let's go to sleep."

Chu Zhou used to lie down next to him. The two were very close and could feel each other's body temperature.

Chu Zhou looked at Ibaraki who fell asleep soon with complicated emotions, and closed his eyes.

If you don't figure out his wish, the mission will fail.
