Xiao Xiao tilted his head slightly.
"...More or less."
He smiled with narrowed eyes.
Shikigami, huh...
It really was a bit like that.
"Really?!"
The girl looked excited.
"A demon shikigami..."
"Master Xiao, you're amazing!"
The girl exclaimed from the heart.
"It's getting a little darker."
Qiu Shui Yi Ren suddenly spoke, very quickly.
Although she had been listening to the conversation between the girl and Master Xiao,
her eyes had been fixed on the sky the whole time.
"Really?"
The girl hurriedly looked up at the sky.
Xiao Xiao's heart stirred.
He had received a message from Ling Yao.
"I found Shang Yang."
He looked at the two girls.
"Really?!"
The two girls cried out in unison.
"Where?"
Qiu Shui Yi Ren asked eagerly.
She had already taken a few steps forward.
Looking around, she immediately wore a puzzled expression. "I don't see it..."
Was the demon coming back?
"I told it to keep an eye on Shang Yang over there."
Xiao Xiao started walking.
"Let's go."
"We'll go to Shang Yang."
"It's not far from here."
"Really?"
Qiu Shui Yi Ren hurried after Xiao Xiao, a delighted smile on her face. "That's great!"
If it was far away, wouldn't there be a good chance they'd arrive too late?
This time...
Qiu Shui Yi Ren took a deep breath.
She was really going to see Shang Yang, wasn't she?
The light in the girl's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Her heart was full of anticipation, along with a faint trace of unease and nervousness.
She had truly been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
Xiao Xiao walked at a brisk pace.
The two girls had some trouble keeping up.
But neither of them said anything.
They knew that every second mattered
