"Really?"
Rick had walked away, and the man saw that the team members didn't seem to be flattering him.
He shook his head as if he couldn't believe it.
"As expected of this generation's Shrine Witch."
The man suddenly raised his head and saw that the team members were staring at him, so he said, "What are you looking at! Haven't you seen the next generation Rick kill demons! Hurry up and go back to coax your wife! "
"If something like this happens again in the future, let me know immediately!"
Jack followed closely behind his father and couldn't help but defend himself when he heard this. "But those villagers …"
"If they die, they die. How many do they die every year? Now that there are patrols, your mission is to train well and become the next generation Rick! "
"But …"
"But what!" Rick stopped and turned around. There was no concern in his eyes as Jack had guessed. Instead, he became more and more indifferent.
"You're still growing. If you die in that place, what will happen to the village in the future? When you become an adult, your strength will be comparable to your mother's, or even surpass her … "Rick paused and changed the topic." Since the establishment of the Eightfold Shrine, there have been very few witches who can control Sakura Chuixue, let alone the men of the Eightfold Clan. "
"Under normal circumstances, the Shrine Witch is the top combat power in the village. As for the Divine Master, I believe you understand. It's not that I don't want you to hunt demons. If there are demons invading the village and wantonly killing the villagers, our Eightfold Clan will naturally take care of them. "
"But!" Rick changed the topic. "You and Sakura are too young. There's still a lot of room for improvement. It's best not to take risks easily if you haven't reached that level. Next time there's a demon attack on the villagers, no matter what, you have to tell me immediately. "
Seeing his father turn around and walk towards the shrine, Jack also lowered his head. "Yes."
There were some things that couldn't be said, even if he wanted to tell his father his secret. Even if the Shrine Priestess had used the Sakura Slash thousands of times, there would always be times when she was in a bad state and made a mistake. But he was different, he only needed to think about it and those moves would change to perfection, as if they were as smooth as flowing water.
When his physical strength increased and his endurance became longer, wouldn't it be easy to kill demons like the Wolf Demon with Sakura Chuixue in his hand?
In particular, Jack was looking forward to seeing its power when he inserted himself into the monster's X flower and released the "Wheel Dance".
His father had said so much because he wanted him to understand that it was not appropriate for him to deal with demons at his current age, even if he already had the ability to kill low-level demons.
This thing was just like the candidate maidens in the shrine. Only after her rapid growth in her youth was over would she become an official maidens. Then, she would be released to fight against the demons and protect one side.
When he was young, he was relatively weak. If he died in a battle with a demon, that would be a great loss to the shrine.
Yaejo Village was a small place after all. To put it bluntly, the Yaejo Shrine was only supported by two or three big cats and small cats. Using such a reckless and fearless method to train a Shaman and a Divine Lord, the Eighth Stage Clan should have been extinct a long time ago.
"By the way." Rick, who was walking in front, said again, "Go to Amy's place when you get home."
"Ai Mi?"
Jack was dumbfounded, and then he thought of something.
.....
Jack washed off the fishy smell on his body, changed into a new set of clothes, and then silently sat beside Ai Mi.
Ai Mi was still sleeping soundly. Seeing that Sakura was about to wake her up, Jack hurriedly made a gesture.
Looking at Ai Mi's pale face, Jack fell into deep thought. Although the doctors from the big cities could not tell what illness Ai Mi had, and could only prescribe some medicine to strengthen her foundation, what if someone really had the ability to cure Ai Mi?
Jack made up his mind. He was going to discuss with his father in a few days, and see if he could bring people to the big cities nearby.
As if having a nightmare, Ai Mi, who was lying flat on the bed, frowned. Drops of sweat appeared on her fair forehead.
Sakura was just about to take out a handkerchief to wipe away Ai Mi's sweat when the person lying on the bed seemed to be frightened. She lay on her side and curled up, looking very much like an abandoned kitten.
"Big Brother ~ Big Sister … No … Don't leave me!"
She was mumbling.
Jack gently lifted a corner of the blanket and held it in Amy's small hands that were tightly interlaced together.
"I won't leave Ai Mi ~"
As if by magic, Ai Mi's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her tight little body also slowly relaxed. Only her interlocked hands held Jack's hand tightly.
"Get me a fan," Jack said in a small voice.
Sakura, who was kneeling opposite him, nodded. She found a fan behind another door in the room.
"I'll fan her. You go prepare lunch."
Sakura handed over the bamboo fan and tried to make herself as quiet as possible as she walked out of the room.
Jack silently fanned himself. A cool breeze blew, and the sweat on Ai Mi's forehead also slowly disappeared.
Not long after, it seemed that Sakura's cooking had attracted the little glutton in Ai Mi's stomach. Ai Mi's little nose twitched first, and the sleepy Ai Mi opened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her hazily.
"Big Brother … Big Brother, is it morning already?"
Jack smiled and said, "Little lazy bug, it's time for lunch."
"Lunch?"
Ai Mi was shocked. Her eyes widened, and the memories from before flooded into her mind like a tide.
She struggled to prop herself up. Her little face was full of anxiety, and her big bright eyes were also looking at Jack.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Was the demon … Was the demon killed? "
"Rubey and I worked together to kill the demon. Look, aren't I fine?" Jack supported Ai Mi's weak body.
This time, Ai Mi finally freed her arms, and her hands touched Jack's clothes.
"Are you really okay? That's a demon! "
Yagyū Sakura, who was sitting by the small square table, sighed, "Ai Mi, didn't I tell you many times? Old-sama is very strong. "
Ai Mi pursed her little mouth. If possible, she did not want to have anything to do with demons.
Demons … They were the culprits who killed her mother.
"Okay, okay, let's eat first."
.....
A week later.
Jack's face was ugly as he listened to Rubey's report.
The news that Rubey passed to him must have been exaggerated, but in reality ….
Jack squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "They really said that?"
"Yes." Rubey, who was kneeling in front of Jack, felt slightly suffocated. It had only been a week since they last met, and he felt that this Ki-sama's power had increased by more than a little.
If it was not for the fact that he still looked like a child, he would have thought that he was the Lord God from ten years ago!
"Who is spreading the rumor, have you found out?"
"We only know that the source is from Granny's house. Among them, the servant spread it the most widely, we suspect …."
Without waiting for Rubey to finish, Jack interrupted him. "Servant? Which servant? The one who spread the rumor by the well? "
