Hey, my fellow monsters, I found someone, and she insists on taking me home.
What? What do you mean, you like dogs?
I don't like that. I'm not changing.
...What breed? What registration?
You mean you're going to put me in a little notebook? A little notebook!
Not the same notebook?
What do you mean you didn't give birth to me?
What do you mean we don't sleep together?
We sleep together! Damn it! Excuses! Are you trying to get rid of me!!?
Didn't you say you wouldn't abandon me!!!
Ye Boling is a member of the Demon Management Action Bureau, commonly known as an exorcist. She has excellent pay and a stable government job.
During a recent rescue operation, she saved 23 captured young lesser spirits in one go, earning commendations from the organization and a hefty bonus.
But after that, it seemed like something was following her around. She felt as though she had offended someone.
When she ate, someone picked out the cilantro for her and poured in chili oil.
When she showered, someone turned off the water heater and doused her with cold water.
When she slept, something pressed down on her.
She couldn't breathe. She jerked awake and gasped for air.
She searched everywhere. A little cat had appeared in the corner of her home. It had a mane around its neck and a white tail. It gave a timid meow and offered her a trembling cockroach at her feet.
Forty li farther north lies Mount Huo, where many trees grow. There is a beast there, shaped like a wildcat, with a white tail and a mane. It is called Feifei, and raising one can dispel sorrow.
