[Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. The fourteen-year-old Chizuko Nagato is ready to take over the Unripe Rice Shrine from the hands of the Unripe Rice Shrine. But before that, Chizuko Nagato still needs to complete a test from the witch. The content of the test was that she had to expel a toad monster that had recently wandered into the mountains near Unripe Rice Village without the help of the Inugami's power. The fourteen-year-old Chizuko Nagato already had powerful spiritual power. The Unripe Rice Shrine was very confident in her. However, Chizuko Nagato had no experience in getting rid of a monster alone before. She was a little nervous before leaving. Watching Chizuko Nagato grow up from the age of six to the age of fourteen now, the Inugami, who squatted in front of the shrine, was very familiar with some of Chizuko Nagato's unknown tricks. For example, when she was nervous, she would clean the courtyard in front of the shrine at night.]
["I heard that you are going down the mountain tomorrow?" Inuyasha rested his head on the back of Chizuko Nagato's head. Unknowingly, this little brat had grown to the height of his neck. Eight years for the Inugami was just a small part of a long life. It passed in a hurry. But what happened in eight years was like an illusion. It happened yesterday. As long as you think about it, you can remember it.]
["Yeah."]
["Maybe you will die. That toad monster is not easy to deal with. Even if it's me, it will take some effort." Inuyasha then emphasized, "Of course, it's just a waste of effort. I won't get hurt."]
[Chizuko Nagato stopped and looked sideways. Perhaps for the Inugami, eight years is really short. As a human, Chizuko Nagato will soon grow bigger and then grow old like the Unripe Rice Shrine. Then, she will look for a suitable heir like her. After that, the new apprentice witch will become the new master of the Inugami with her help. Inuyasha will guard the shrine from generation to generation, and the shrine's witch will be replaced one after another.]
["Why are you looking at me!" Inuyasha snorted softly and said, "Are you afraid? Then come and beg me! I have a way to not let that damned old woman know, and then secretly help you! But let me tell you in advance. It's okay for me to help you, but you have to promise me one thing. Take off the necklace on my neck. "]
[Chizuko Nagato thought for a while, then threw the broom in her hand forward. The Inugami of the shrine flew out without a word and took a broom. Chizuko Nagato took the broom, stroked Inuyasha's head a few times and said calmly, "I can do it. Don't worry."]
["Who cares!!! Little brat! Don't treat me as a stupid dog! " Inuyasha was furious. He couldn't figure out why he always went to pick up the things thrown by Chizuko Nagato. Yes, every time! "I of Inuko You brat to die to die to die to die! Of the of the of's eyes eyes eyes. of!!!!!! Nagato 'to''s to! to Rice 'to's of's........ to......
[....................... As usual, Chizuko Nagato accompanied the Unripe Rice Field witch to do her homework for the day after dinner. In the middle of the night, there was a strange sound outside Chizuko Nagato's bedroom. She opened the door and saw a talisman placed in the corridor outside the bedroom. Chizuko Nagato picked up the talisman, knowing that it was sent by Inuyasha secretly. She smiled, then returned to the bedroom to meditate and recharge her energy. Chizuko Nagato felt that her master, the Unripe Rice Field witch, would pass away one day. So, it was a good thing to take this test early while the Unripe Rice Field witch was still alive. If the test failed, it proved that she still did not have the ability to take over the shrine. If she could return, she could continue to practice under the guidance of the Unripe Rice Field witch. If she couldn't come back, the Unripe Rice Field witch still had time to find and train a new successor witch.]
[Before dawn, Chizuko Nagato quietly left the shrine. Before leaving Unripe Rice Village, she actually went to Nagato's house, but she watched from a distance. Chizuko Nagato didn't leave until Nagato's door opened and a servant came out.]
[After leaving Unripe Rice Village, Chizuko Nagato passed through a valley and saw a stream flowing nearby. She planned to rest there. At this time, a crying sound came from behind a layer of rocks in the stream. It was a child of twelve or thirteen years old.]
— — ["What happened?"]
["My little brother was taken away by a demon. I'm very sad. I wish I could get the demon back with my own hands, but there's nothing I can do. Other than secretly crying here, what else can I do?" The child was devastated. It seemed that he had been crying for some time. Chizuko Nagato guessed that the demon in the child's mouth was probably the one that the Unripe Rice Field witch asked her to get rid of. She continued to ask and found that it was true.]
[This toad spirit likes to wear a red cassock and claims to be the 'Red Cloak Sorcerer.' Everywhere he goes, he will catch young boys. The 'Red Cloak Sorcerer' believes that the vitality of the boy is the key to longevity. Therefore, he uses a secret technique to raise the captured boys. He chooses a specific day to dress the boys in red clothes. Then, he will go against the heavens to prolong his life. When these boys lose their value, he will eat them directly. So far, more than 13 boys have died in the hands of the 'Red Cloak Sorcerer.']
["I'm the apprentice witch of the Unripe Rice Shrine. I came here this time to ask for the 'Red Cloak Sorcerer.' If you know where the 'Red Cloak Sorcerer' is, tell me so that more people won't be hurt." Chizuko Nagato directly stated her intention.]
[The crying boy saw that Chizuko Nagato was about the same age as him. Naturally, he didn't believe that she could deal with him. He sighed, "I don't want more people to be hurt. My brother was taken away. It may be his life, but if he dies in exchange for the peace of the village, it is worth it. The 'Red Cloak Sorcerer' is powerful. You can't deal with him. "]
[Chizuko Nagato directly took off the wooden bow, put an arrow on it, and shot at the big tree a hundred feet away. Her movements were very fast, and she shot out three arrows in a row. The arrows were nailed directly to the trunk, but they were nailed to the armpit and the head of a climbing civet cat. The civet cat was restrained by the arrows and couldn't move, showing a look of horror. Chizuko Nagato slowly said, "Don't worry. I have the ability to protect myself."]
[This child saw the magic of Chizuko Nagato's archery and knew that he had met someone with real ability. He had long hoped that someone could ask for the 'Red Cloak Sorcerer.' He quickly told the hiding place of the 'Red Cloak Sorcerer' and told Chizuko Nagato that the 'Red Cloak Sorcerer' was at his weakest in the middle of the night.]
