Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 338 Kabutani Sakuya

Fortunately, that person arrived in time, otherwise there would have been a tragedy of bloodshed within five steps.

"Bone Dragon, don't be naughty!"

Hearing this, the Dragon of Death and Destruction flew around the man like a child who had done something wrong, and it seemed that he had given up the idea of retrieving Yiyin.

Only then did Yiyin observe the person: it was a girl with a dull look on her face. She was wearing a black and white maid outfit and had light pink hair with a few highlights on her head.

Although her voice was soft, it carried an indescribable ethereal quality and was also quite intimidating.

"I'm sorry, my monster didn't scare you, did it? It must have identified you as trash that needs to be recycled."

She then began to introduce herself, "My name is Sakuya Kabutani, and this is my monster, the Sky-Covering Bone Dragon. Our daily job is to clean up excess trash and keep things clean."

"Kabutani... Sakuya? That name is such a mouthful."

Yiyin thought about this and felt relieved for the time being. After all, at least she didn't seem to have any ill will towards him.

However, the next second, Kabutani Sakuya's words made Iin feel a chill in his heart.

"So... can you tell me why you're here? I don't think I've ever seen you before. I can't guarantee it, but to be on the safe side, I'll get rid of you if necessary."

"..."

What to say?

Yi Yin didn't know the attitude of the natives of the City of the Dead towards the living. If she spoke casually to make her angry, the consequences would be disastrous.

But if I don’t say anything... then the Sky-Covering Bone Dragon will definitely “clean up” me.

According to Yi Yin's judgment, the Sky-Covering Bone Dragon should be able to create small black holes, randomly sucking objects into different spaces. Such an ability is very suitable for cleaning up garbage, and Yi Yin did not want to be cleaned up in such a muddled way.

"My name is Yin Yi..."

Finally, Yiyin decided to put on a disguise first. "My companions and I came here for something important to do, but since we were unfamiliar with the place, we got separated. As we were walking, I got lost, and then I saw your monster."

Yi Yin's words were half true and half false, making it difficult to distinguish. Of course, since Yi Yin didn't know much about the City of the Dead, he used vague words as much as possible to avoid unnecessary mistakes.

"..."

Iin nervously awaited Kabutani Sakuya's reply, and had already prepared for the worst.

"...An alien traveler? Well, doesn't seem to pose any threat."

Yiyin didn't know whether this was a compliment or an insult to him.

"Come with me. I'm a maid after all, and I'm responsible for providing services to lost people. You can leave in the morning."

Having said that, Kabutani Sakuya turned her back to Iin and motioned him to follow.

"By the way, you must always stay five steps away from me, not too far and not too close."

Now, since he hasn't found Xuanwu and the others, Yiyin can only temporarily lower his status and follow the lead of Kabutani Sakuya.

"Song and Dance Valley, have you seen my companions? They are three women, dressed very...uniquely. They will definitely be spotted at a glance."

"No. I've been taking care of my work. You're the last one today."

Kabuiya Sakuya replied simply, "But I think other people have seen your friends. You can ask them."

After saying that, Kabutani Sakuya paused, then glanced at the green-haired turtle again, and then quickly turned back.

"Is this little turtle your monster?"

"Yes. It's called the Green-Haired Turtle, an A-rank material monster."

"I see... So, you're also a monster master."

Hearing what Kabutani Sakuya said, Iin suddenly felt sad.

I suppose Kabutani Sakuya was also a formidable Monster Master in her lifetime. Even in death, she still fulfills her responsibilities as a Monster Master...

Yi Yin thought about this, and at the same time, he became a little curious about the City of the Dead. What kind of place is the City of the Dead?

.

Along the way, Kabutani Sakuya remained silent, and Iin followed her closely, keeping a distance of five steps, which made Iin feel a little depressed.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Yiyin was racking his brains to think of what questions to ask.

"Song and Dance Valley, I haven't seen anyone along the way. Could it be that this place is sparsely populated?"

"Yes... because everyone is dead."

"?"

Yi Yin was puzzled. The ghosts were already dead. Could they die again?

"Traveler from another world, I think you don't understand at all..."

Sakuya Kabutani looked like she wanted to say something, but seemed to be hesitant.

"Forget it, there's no need for you to understand this. Once you find your companions, go back quickly, to your original time."

"Okay, thank you."

After Yiyin thanked him, he sensed something was amiss. What did "the original era" mean? Could it be that Kabutani Sakuya had already discovered that Yiyin was a time traveler?

No, no matter what, Yiyin can never return to his "original time" because he has died there... But, if that is true, why did Isabella also travel to Blue Star to find him?

The more Yiyin thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss. But one thing was certain: Kabutani Sakuya was no weakling. If the spirits of the City of the Dead were all as powerful as she was, then she couldn't possibly clash with them.

Meteorite fragments... Once you get them, leave as soon as possible and don't cause any more trouble.

Perhaps I could ask Kabutani Sakuya if she knows anything about the meteorite fragments? ...But let's not talk about it. To be on the safe side, and to avoid offending Kabutani Sakuya, I'd better say less.

After walking a little further, they arrived at a building that looked very much like a rescue center.

"These red-roofed buildings are places for travelers to rest. There's one every few meters. You can rest assured here. Considering this is your first time here, I'll take you through the check-in procedures first."

After saying that, Sakuya Kabutani took Iin to the front desk to complete the check-in procedures. Of course, Iin still stayed five steps away from Sakuya Kabutani.

Fortunately, the check-in procedure was not complicated and Yiyin quickly got the key to her room.

"Then please go to bed early."

After saying this, Sakuya Kabutani left with the Sky-Covering Bone Dragon.

Iin held the key and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Sakuya Kabutani had left.

Come to think of it, I was clearly traveling with Xuanwu and the others, so why was I the only one to reach the City of the Dead? Or were they scattered in different places?

With many questions in mind, Yiyin gradually fell asleep.
