so cute.

The drug seller's gaze shifted from Hoshino Yuu's extraordinarily bright eyes to the peacock-like scales, and he said after a while, "Ah, isn't it cute? It looks a bit stupid."

"It's so cute!" Hoshino Yu emphasized, "Dancing is so cute."

"Is it cute to dance?" The medicine seller stared at the scale in front of him, "It's just trying to please you."

"Huh?" Hoshino Yuu blinked in surprise, looked down at Libra, and Libra danced more cheerfully, as if he didn't think there was any shame in it.

Drug seller: "..." Ah, shame on you.

Hoshino Yuu bent his eyes, and the tiny light in those eyes that were not very popular even when he smiled was particularly eye-catching.

The drug seller heard a voice that should not appear at this moment, "This child is so pure that it is not human..."

It's really not a human being, the drug seller thought, if it was another self, he would definitely be able to see what Hoshino Yu was.

but……

It doesn't look like a murderous monster, so let him be happy again. After solving the problems in this house, I will always know.

The flame on the candlestick jumped up and down, and the medicine seller's lip makeup seemed to be smiling. He looked at the boy who was playing with the scales in front of him, and then looked up at the closed window.

The invisible black mist roared and enveloped the house, and the rain became heavier.

The candlelight gradually dimmed, the scales stopped beating, and Hoshino Yuu's eyelids fluttered unbearably.

Little by little, he leaned his head against the drug seller next to him, his ears drooped softly to cover his blond hair, he slowly closed his eyes and slid down little by little, and his head rested in the arms of the drug seller.

The drug seller stretched out his hand and grabbed the kimono on the back of the boy's neck, as if he wanted to throw him down. The boy in his arms muttered softly, his voice soft and soft, like a cat meowing.The drug seller gave a slight pause to his hand, and finally moved the person to the mat to lie down.

The next day, the rain still didn't stop, and the drug seller just let it take its course and stayed.

When Hoshino Yu opened his eyes, his mind was still in a daze. He looked at the portrait on the wall and muttered to himself, "Last night..."

Fell asleep?

It was the first time that fell asleep so peacefully like a human being, and didn't have nightmares, and wasn't entangled by strange things, all because of the drug seller.

Hoshino sat up and turned his head away. The drug seller was sitting at the table and looked at him indifferently.

"I'm sorry Yakuro-sama." Hoshino Yuu asked in a low voice, "Did I take your sleeping place, did you not sleep?"

The drug seller didn't answer, but stood up and said, "It's time to eat."

"Hey..." Hoshino Yu was at a loss, and hurriedly followed, "Eat?"

"Humans will die if they don't eat." The medicine seller opened the door, "It's time."

Hoshino Yu: "...Yakuro-sama, I don't know how to cook."

The drug seller looked at Yu Hoshino thoughtfully, "What do you usually eat?"

Hoshino Yuu blinked, he...dolls don't need to eat, but it's definitely not allowed to tell the person in front of them like this now, maybe they will be killed.

Hoshino Yuu lowered his voice, "There will be food outside, but now it's raining and I can't go out...well, I don't know, maybe there will be food here."

"Perhaps we should go and see." Hoshino Yuu pulled up the sleeve of the drug seller, "I don't know what Yaolang-sama eats, let's go together."

The drug seller glanced at the sleeve that was being pulled by Hoshino Yuu. Before he could speak, there was a sudden bang sound from the room next to him. His eyes moved over, "Is there anyone else here?"

Hoshino Yu took a breath, and shook his head repeatedly, "No, there is no one else, maybe something fell on the ground, maybe it's because the dolls are not placed properly!"

The drug seller let out an inexplicable oh, the young man in front of him really couldn't tell a lie, if he could tell a lie... it might be a little difficult.

Hoshino Yu did not lie, the puppet next door heard the conversation and jumped off the chair, it thought indignantly, Yu is not a human being, nor does it know how to eat human food.This human being is really annoying, and he should disappear forever like the hated master.

Ah yes.

The puppet showed a smile, just in time, let the dead master and this human being fight each other... This house only needs Xiaoyou and them, and nothing else is needed.

"Master Yakuro, let's go." Hoshino Yuu gripped his sleeves a little harder. He looked at the dark corridor, feeling a little thumping in his heart. When it rained, he always felt that this corridor would be even weirder.

The drug seller said in a steady voice, "Are you afraid? Are you afraid?"

Hoshino Yu slightly raised his eyes and looked at the drug seller. He was indeed a little scared. He was entangled by something. Normal people would be afraid, right?

What's more... Hoshino Yuu was in a daze, he had never been scared like this before.

"If it has nothing to do with him, why are you afraid?" the medicine seller asked again.

Is this suspected?

"Master Yakuro." Hoshino Yu said, "It's normal for human beings to be afraid of unknown things, not to mention, that thing is haunting me, maybe I will die under its hands at any time, of course I will be afraid."

The drug seller said quietly, "Is there any point in being afraid of him? Why don't you leave here? Staying here will give him more chances, right? If I don't come, you will die sooner or later, right?"

Hoshino Yu led the drug seller forward, he was not so afraid when someone was around, and those puppets were puppets after all, Hoshino Yu would feel a little scared no matter what.

He said softly, "I know, someone will come, someone will definitely come to help me, because I can't get out of here."

The drug seller looked at the back of the boy's head in front of him. His long blond hair was tied back, and the bow of the same color as the kimono was pinned on it, like a delicate and beautiful doll.

Skin that is as soft as a human being, and pure enough not to look like an ugly monster, is synonymous with beauty.

What the hell... what could it be?Why did those things haunt him?

love?Monster love?

Can monsters have love?

Love... what is it?

"Master Yakuro." Hoshino Yuu turned around, "We're here."

No one has been in the back kitchen for a long time, but it is clean and tidy. The smell coming from nowhere makes the medicine seller stop.

An unpleasant smell of corruption lingered for a long time in this small kitchen.

But the boy in front of him didn't seem to smell it, and was still looking for food that humans could eat.

He put his hand on the lid, and the medicine seller stretched out his hand to hold the hand that was about to open the pot, and said calmly, "Please, take a step back."

"Eh?" Hoshino Yuu blinked blankly, "Master Yakuro, do you want to cook by yourself?"

The drug seller didn't speak, and looked at Hoshino Yuu with his unwavering eyes, as if he wanted to see whether this person was pretending or really didn't know.

"Didn't you smell it?" the medicine seller asked.

"Ah?" Hoshino Yuu tilted his head, and took a step closer to the drug seller curiously, "What do you smell?"

The sandalwood smell and the smell of corruption are mixed together, making people want to vomit, but the medicine seller still has the same expression, he said calmly, "The corpse, the smell of decay... has always been, stayed here, the monster."

Monster?The smell of rotting corpses?

"Even the stench from the rotting corpse should have disappeared in three months, right?"

Hoshino Yuu opened his eyes wide, as if thinking of something, the look in his eyes faded little by little, and he looked at the drug seller in a daze.

The drug seller didn't speak any more, he lifted the cover.

Hoshino Yuu's face turned extremely pale after just one glance. The feeling of dizziness and the desire to vomit were extremely strong. He subconsciously grasped the drug seller's hand tightly, and his hard nails dug into the drug seller's flesh.

The kitchen was filled with the sound of Yu Hoshino retching, but obviously, he couldn't vomit anything, even his face was as white as paper.

The drug seller looked at the place where the blood was oozing, and seemed a little surprised, his voice was still very calm, "Don't you know?"

what do you know?

The lump of rotten maggots in the pot was unidentifiable meat, but it was the two eyes looking at him.

Disgusting, disgusting, what is this...

"It's a human being who was killed." The medicine seller said.

The bugs spread out in all directions, densely packed... As if they were on the skin, Hoshino Yuu pressed closer to the drug seller.

"Master Yaolang, shall we go out?" Hoshino Yuu's voice trembled, he was more frightened and disgusted than seeing the black mist.

"What are you going out for?" The drug seller stroked the boy's blond hair with his free hand, "Here it comes."

it came?

The black mist silently enveloped the kitchen, those blood-red eyes looked at the carrion in the pot, and then at Hoshino Yuu.

It even spoke cautiously with some anticipation and flattery, "Yu, did you see it? This is mine, and I can give it to you to eat."

eat?

Hoshino stared wide-eyed, he grabbed the drug seller tightly, he was so afraid that he couldn't cry even if he wanted to, his voice was extremely low and hoarse, "Master Yaolang, please...please."

Help……

"Don't you like it?" Hei Wu seemed distressed, "I still have a lot, and I want to give it to You."

"Let's drive this drug seller out, okay? Throw the doll out, okay? As long as there are the two of us here, I will take good care of Yu, Yu...you can't leave me."

The drug seller didn't push away Hoshino Yu who was grabbing him like a drowning man grabbing the last piece of driftwood. The boy who was about to collapse didn't seem to know what to do, he just said please him, but didn't say please himdo what.

The charms spread out row by row and stuck to the wall. The black mist was scattered and reunited. With the roar of the black mist, the medicine seller frowned slightly.

"Yu, love me, Yu!"

"Damn, hateful drug seller, that's mine, my Yu, I created it!"

"Yu..."

Really... really the puppeteer, not only died, but also turned into this strange appearance.

Hoshino Yu opened his eyes blankly. He looked at the drug seller. The drug seller looked calm, without the slightest sign of flinching or fear. Hoshino Yu was the only one who was afraid.

The drug seller put down the box he had been carrying, and took out a strange sword.

His voice is cold.

"You are a puppeteer, the master of Yu Hoshino's mouth."

"What did you die for?"

"And why did you stay there?"

There were clattering footsteps and weird laughter outside.
