"Chirp~ Chirp~"
Yue called excitedly.
Of course, the little demon had been excited the whole way.
But this time, he was especially excited.
Because... they had reached their destination.
"We're here."
Xiao Xiao stopped and turned to the boy. "This is the place."
The boy looked up at the shop ahead. "Jade Hall Spring?"
Was this... a jade shop?
Was Little Fire here?
"Chirp~ Chirp~"
Yue called out loudly to his new friend.
"Meow~"
A cat meowed.
Everyone's and every demon's attention was instantly drawn to the sound.
They all thought of the black cat at once.
But a little yellow cat crawled out from beneath a car.
It wasn't flustered at the sight of strangers. It strolled along with a calm, unhurried air.
The little cat crawled under another car.
Xiao Xiao and the boy, who had watched the whole thing, couldn't help laughing.
"Chirp~"
Curious, Yue flew over to the car the little cat had crawled beneath.
"Yue."
Xiao Xiao spoke before Yue could do anything.
"Don't disturb the little cat while it's resting."
And don't scare it, either.
"Chirp~ Chirp~"
Since Lord Xiao Xiao had said so, Yue obediently flew back in front of him.
"Chitter~"
A familiar voice rang out. Before Yue could call out happily,
an excited voice rang out even faster.
"Little Fire!"
The boy was overjoyed.
It really was Little Fire!
"Chitter~"
The demon was happy to see the boy, too.
"Chitter~ Chitter~"
The demon landed on the boy's shoulder.
The boy turned his head.
Seeing how happy Little Fire was, he couldn't help smiling as he chided it, "You little thing, you don't have a care in the world."
"Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"
"Chitter~"
The demon tilted his head.
