The Cave Beast and Yae / Giyu Tomioka Almost Gets Locked Away

The reason for choosing this hotel was naturally because Scribe liked that it had a hot spring where she could soak.

Drinking tea may warm you up, but nothing beats the comfort of a hot spring.

"My esteemed guest, although there are some things I must tell you that you may not want to hear, I still want to tell you."

Looking at the excited Scribe, the old woman's face showed a faint trace of worry.

"I'm doing this for your own good. For your own safety, you'd better leave here immediately."

Shaking his head, the Scribe answered.

"No need, I have that much courage. I'd rather that beast come to me on its own."

The old woman gave a wry smile upon hearing this, but remained silent.

In her opinion, the Scribe was only pretending to be fearless because he was saving face.

She had personally witnessed the scene after the monsters from the caves had finished hunting, and just thinking about it made her tremble uncontrollably.

With a change of clothes, Scribe went into the hot spring behind the hotel and began to soak.

The stark contrast between the frigid outside temperature and the warm hot springs brought a sense of contentment to the Scribe's face.

He squinted slightly, immersing his entire body in the hot spring, leaving only his head above water.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a door being pushed open suddenly rang out.

"Grandma, I brought a change of clothes."

The Scribe thought it was the old woman in front, so he stood up and turned around to answer.

However, the response he received was not the woman's aged voice, but the scream of a young woman.

"Ah!"

Scribe's lips twitched violently, and he froze on the spot.

Shinobu Butterfly, what are you doing here?

Chapter 220 The Cave Beast and Yae

"Mister Scribe, what are you doing here!?"

She quickly covered her body with a white bath towel, and Shinobu Butterfly's face was immediately filled with embarrassment.

"And another thing, why are you naked, you pervert?"

The black lines on his forehead bulged, and the Scribe spread his hands and said.

"Please, it's obvious I came in to soak in the hot springs first, okay?"

"But you can't be naked!"

"I was completely submerged in water just now. In that situation, who would still be wearing clothes?"

Upon hearing what the Scribe said, Shinobu Butterfly realized that he was indeed not wrong.

But she didn't want to admit that it was her fault, so she turned her head to the side, with her back to Scribe.

"Hmph, I don't care."

Seeing Shinobu Butterfly's shameless behavior, the Scribe's face was full of helplessness.

So, does that mean I'm always wrong no matter what I do?

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, the old woman suddenly rushed in from outside in a hurry.

"Miss Kocho, there are people inside."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the expressions on Scribe and Shinobu Butterfly's faces and realized that she had spoken too late.

Not knowing what to say, she froze in place.

And so, the three of them stared at each other, wide-eyed.

In the end, it was the Scribe who spoke first, indicating that they should go outside and talk about it later.

After leaving the hot spring, the old woman poured a cup of hot tea for him and Shinobu Butterfly, and said that it was all her fault that this situation had occurred, and that she was willing to take responsibility.

The Scribe said there was no question of taking responsibility or not, since they hadn't lost any arms or legs.

Shinobu Butterfly, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't.

After combining the information from Shinobu Butterfly and the old woman, the Scribe finally learned the whole story.

Shinobu Butterfly and the old woman had known each other for a long time. The former had asked the latter to buy some raw medicinal herbs here, herbs that could only be produced in the snowy mountains of the north.

She had come with this purpose in mind, as she rarely had free time.

While the old woman was checking the medicinal herbs, Shinobu Butterfly decided to go in for a soak in the hot spring without permission because of the cold weather.

In the past, hot springs were rarely used.

But this time it's different; the Scribe has been inside for quite some time now.

And so, the scene just now unfolded.

"So that's how it is..."

After clarifying the matter, Scribe looked at Shinobu Butterfly.

"That situation just happened because you didn't ask the old woman why!"

Shinobu Butterfly knew it was her fault, so she remained silent.

He simply turned his head to the side, adopting a "dead pig doesn't care about boiling water" expression.

"Forget it, I just can't do anything with you."

With a wave of his hand, the Scribe indicated that the matter was over.

Anyway, I was just looked at; I didn't lose any flesh or suffer any harm.

Seeing that the main figures in this incident Scribe and Shinobu Butterfly, had already "turned the page," the old woman wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

Soon, she brought over the medicinal herbs that Shinobu Butterfly had asked her to buy.

During their casual conversation, Shinobu Butterfly also learned about the "man-eating bear".

She frowned slightly and shifted her gaze to Scribe.

The Scribe didn't speak, but nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"I've looked at the medicinal herbs, and they're all very good."

After packing all the medicinal herbs, Shinobu Butterfly smiled slightly and said.

"I'm very interested in that man-eating bear for work reasons. If you have any bear bile available, please sell it to me."

Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately broke out in a sweat.

She gave a wry smile and remained silent.

Shinobu Butterfly didn't continue speaking; she simply walked over to the Scribe and sat down beside him.

"Mister Scribe, you still haven't told me why you're here."

Without saying a word, the Scribe simply picked up a kernel of corn from his hand and tossed it into the air.

The corn kernels were tossed into the air, spun a few times, and then reached their highest point.

Just as it was about to fall, a black figure suddenly appeared and swallowed the corn kernels.

After that, the black figure flew to a nearby branch, waiting for the next kernel of corn.

At first, Shinobu Butterfly was surprised by the black figure.

Because, given her eyesight, she couldn't yet discern where the other party had come from or how they had eaten it. (Reading by La)

But when she looked at the branches, her tense body gradually relaxed.

It was a Kasugai Crow, a Kasugai Crow named "Black Feather".

With the Kasugai Crow present, the reason why the Scribe was here becomes clear.

Just as Shinobu Butterfly was about to speak and ask something more, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the inn.

"You went into the mountains alone again, didn't you!"

"I'm not alone, I still have Tae-ro by my side!"

"Tailu is a dog! Matazo it's up to the adults to deal with him, do you understand?!"

Turning their heads, Scribe and Shinobu Butterfly saw a girl dressed as a hunter, around sixteen or seventeen years old, arguing with a hunter in his thirties.

Pointing to the young girl, the Scribe asked the old woman.

"Grandma, who is that?"

"Is that Yae?"

The old woman sighed as she looked at the girl the Scribe was pointing to.

After her explanation, the two learned the girl's identity.

The girl's name is Yae, Matazo she is the daughter of the hunter who was previously eaten by the "Diamond Beast".

She had witnessed her father and his companions being attacked by a "bear" right in front of her.

After that, apart from coming to the village to buy daily necessities, she spent her time searching for her enemies in the snow-capped mountains.

At this point, the old woman covered her face.

"What a poor child, I can't bear to look at him."

After learning about Yae's identity and background, Shinobu Butterfly showed a hint of sympathy on her face.

The Scribe raised an eyebrow and began to notice another person.

At the same time, Yae outside also shook off the old hunter's arm, took his dog's hand, and walked outside.

But she had only taken a few steps when a figure suddenly appeared behind her and patted her on the shoulder.

Although she couldn't see his face clearly, Shinobu Butterfly did see the haori with different colors on the left and right sides.

"How did this guy end up here?"

Shinobu Butterfly breathed a sigh of relief, quite surprised to see that guy here.

Looking at the Scribe, he had a smile on his face, seemingly looking forward to what would happen next.

On the other side, Yae, who had been slapped on the shoulder, immediately turned cold.

"Although I don't know who you are, you'd better get your hands off me right now."

However, the hand was not removed; instead, the owner of the hand introduced himself.

"I am Tomioka Giyu."

Chapter 221 Tomioka Giyu almost got locked up

Seeing that Tomioka Giyu didn't remove his hand but instead started introducing himself, Shinobu Butterfly couldn't help but turn her head to the side.

The Scribe laughed and spoke.

"Sure enough, this is his style."

Scribe and Shinobu Butterfly so, but Yae had a different idea.

"Tomioka Giyu?"

She muttered the name to herself, but the coldness on her face only intensified.

So, let go of my hand!

He suddenly turned his head, his body turning backward as well.

He raised his right arm, his elbow like a fork, and thrust it behind him.

Yae's plan was simple: just force the opponent to retreat.

But she didn't expect that the person behind her wasn't someone she could easily force back.

Without a flicker of emotion in his eyes, Tomioka Giyu simply extended his left hand.
