I, Nurarihyon, the Lord of All Monsters

Nurarihyon replied:"I am not only a half-demon, but also an unknown little god."

"The change just now was caused by me, as a god, giving you a name."

"Yamabuki Otome, you have now become my artifact, the first artifact"

"Give a name?"

"Divine weapon?"

The calm and fair face of Yamabuki Otome reflected in the folding fan finally flashed a hint of surprise.

"That's right"

"In fact, this is also the first time I have used the ability to bestow a name.

Nurarihyon nodded.

"But if you don't want to be my artifact, I can also take the initiative to erase your name and let you regain your freedom."

"No...it's okay"

"I am willing to be your artifact."

Yamabuki Otome answered quickly.

She was just a little surprised that she had turned from an ordinary little ghost into a artifact.

Nurarihyon raised a faint smile and put the folding fan in his palm to caress and admire it.

The golden Yamabuki flowers bloomed quietly on the black fan, and they were particularly brilliant.

He remembered the words left by Yamabuki Otome:

"The flowers have bloomed all over, but the mountain wind has not produced any fruit. It is really sad."

"Yamabuki Otome, you know that the reason why you and I couldn't have children was because of the curse of Yuyuko."

Nurarihyon sighed in his heart.

Decades ago, the feathered fox lived in the mother of Toyotomi Hideyori and gave birth to the community of monsters and humans - Nue (Abe Haruaki).

In order to give birth to the Nue, the feathered fox sucked the livers of young women in large quantities, and sent his men to collect human hearts everywhere.

Then he set his eyes on Yingji, the woman that Nurarihyon liked.

In order to get her heart, Yingji was kidnapped to Kyoto.

Thus began the war with Yingji!

In the end, the feathered fox was defeated by Hanakaiin Hidemoto's shikigami Pojun and Nurarihyon's Mimi Kirimaru.

At the same time, they were defeated, and a curse was left on Nurarihyon and Hanakaiin Hidemoto that"generations of blood will be bound by foxes."

Nurarihyon cannot have offspring with monsters.

The eldest son of the Hanakaiin family will die young.

A flash of light.

The Yamabuki Otome in Nurarihyon's hand fell to the ground again and turned into a human form

"I'm back again……"

Yamabuki Otome looked down at the white and slender hands, feeling a little surprised and doubtful.

The feeling just now was really... too magical.

She looked at Nurarihyon again, and a trace of joy appeared on her calm face. She held Nurarihyon's palm with her cold hands and said happily:"Thank... Thank you sir for giving me a name."

Yamabuki Otome seemed very happy to get the name.

The little monsters sang and danced around Yamabuki Otome and Nurarihyon.

"I didn't expect that the gentleman is so powerful, and even a god!"

Yamabuki Otome's dark eyes were like a deep universe, twinkling with little stars of admiration.

Nurarihyon was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Through fragments of the anime, I thought that Yamabuki Otome's character seemed a bit gloomy and gloomy.

Now it seems.

She feels like a typical literature girl.

Nurarihyon replied:"In fact, I am just an unknown little god."

"He doesn't even have his own shrine."

Generally speaking, as a nameless god, if he doesn't even have a shrine, he will most likely die out of being forgotten.

But Nurarihyon's situation is special.

God is just an attribute and a status for him.

First, he is a great monster, and then a god.

What's more,

Nurarihyon is the second-generation general of the Nurarihyon group and the lord of the demons and monsters in the Kanto region. Thousands of monsters remember him, know him, and respect him.

In this dark world where the strong are respected

, the awe of monsters is purer than the faith of humans!

Humans believe in gods and pray for blessings.

Nameless gods have to work hard to fulfill the wishes of their believers.

For example... a god who has no fixed place to live, nothing to do, and no regular meals, causing his subordinates' divine weapons to jump ship one after another, has no shrine to worship him, lacks incense, and bows down for five yen of incense money (five dou of rice), accepting all kinds of commissions from beheading demons to repairing things (even killing people).

《Yato from"Noragami" said that this output is almost a slap in the face.

But the monsters in the dark world don't need it.

Their worship and awe of Nurarihyon are extremely pure, and they won't make any messy wishes.

So, in a way.

Once Nurarihyon collects the Four Souls Jade, completes the nameless godhood, and is promoted to a demon god.

He will instantly join the ranks of"famous gods".

Become a great god on par with the Seven Lucky Gods, the Tianjin Gods, and the Kunitsu Gods!

And he is a god independent of the human belief system.

"it does not matter!"

"The book says, without the accumulation of small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without the accumulation of small streams, one cannot form a river or sea!"

"Nurarihyon will surely become a great god." Yamabuki

Otome came closer, raised her little face, and kept encouraging Nurarihyon.

Nurarihyon lowered her head, glanced at the hand held by Yamabuki Otome, and said with a smile:"Then you stay by my side, cheer me up every day, and one day, I will surely become a great god." Yamabuki Otome exclaimed

"Ah". She quickly let go of Nurarihyon's hand, stepped back half a step, turned her face with a slightly red cheek, and muttered softly:"The book also says that boys like you are slick and like to deceive girls."

"？？"

What kind of book is that?

Nurarihyon quickly explained,"I am a half-demon, with half of my blood flowing in my body. I come from the great demon Nura."

"Slippery ghost, slippery, slippery~ you know"

"So it's not my fault that I'm smooth-talking, it's just my nature."

Yamabuki Otome twisted her head further to the side, grumbling,"Kicking the buck and making excuses, the more I see, the more I look like the playboy described in the book.""

"……"

The reputation is damaged!

Outside the house, a shout like a broken gong suddenly exploded in the continuous spring rain.

"Hello——！！"

"The ghost girl hiding inside, tell me your name quickly, tell me your name"

"Otherwise, I will lose my patience and will really eat all the little monsters in the house!"

"Tell me your name quickly, tell me your name~"

Yamabuki Otome heard the shouting outside, pushed open the broken window of the deserted hut, took a look outside, her face turned pale, and whispered:"It…it’s coming again"

……

……

There will be some changes to the settings of Noragami.

For example, the setting that the artifact will stab the owner at any time is really a bit annoying.
