I teach kendo in Tokyo

Kazuma’s harmonica has immediate results.

Akashi's expression was very ugly.

However, before Kazuma could see the further effects of Harmonica's offensive, Takei roared: "That's enough! Is it really okay to pretend to be a ghost and scare a girl?"

Kazuma raised his eyebrows. Takei didn't expect this, but it was not a big problem. He just used Takei's words to continue the topic.

Kazuma: "I'm not pretending. I really saw that white-haired guy. It was probably the same one that Watanabe-kun saw. By the way, my dojo is now registered with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. History long."

In fact, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology registered the old cherry tree in Kiryu's yard, but this is just a matter of detail, not important.

"My grandpa told me that the natural Rishin-ryu is best at not killing people, but slaying ghosts."

Kazuma basically opened up about it. Anyway, Akanishi couldn't possibly know that Kiryu Kazuma didn't practice Natural Rishin-ryu at all.

"Before the Meiji Restoration," Kazuma paused, "the biggest task of our Kiryu family was to expel the evil spirits that were infesting Edo."

Takei smiled: "Isn't this too ridiculous? Should the next step be to tell us that Yin Yang Lao really exists?"

Kazuma glanced at Tamamo and muttered to himself: I didn't expect Takei, not only does Onnyangryo exist, but its founder is now drinking tea you made with cheap tea bags!

Although he was interrupted by Takei, Kazuma's words were still very effective, and Akanishi looked very shaken now.

She stared at Kazuma's face: "Is it true? You can slay demons?"

Kazuma pointed at Tamamo next to him: "This surname is Jinguji. You are not Qianjin-san or Qianjin-san doesn't have enough coffee seats, so you don't know this surname. Jinguji's house, on the surface, is a wagashi shop, but secretly it is A famous family that specializes in sacrificial matters, doesn’t it explain the problem that she is with me?”

Akanishi glanced at Miyadera Tamamo, still looking doubtful.

Takei snorted: "So, when will the Onmyoji family appear? Shinto, Onmyoji and samurai are the iron triangle of traditional demon-killing stories. You are missing one."

As soon as Zhujing finished speaking, there was a thunder outside the window.

The brightness of the lightning once overshadowed the electric lights in the room.

Ms. Ubashima, the female general who was urging the workers to close the windows, reassured: "Don't worry, our hotel has complete lightning protection measures. We even erected lightning towers on the top of the mountain to protect guests who were too late to come down from the mountain from sudden thunderstorms."

Kazuma: "You are quite well prepared."

"Of course, our hotel has been open for such a long time."

Ms. Umashima paused and then said: "To be honest, I really hope that there is really a descendant of the mountain god. Last year, the town next door said that traces of wild mallet snakes were found, and tourists flocked there, which made me jealous. . If we didn’t have Takei and his team here, I would sleep with my teeth sore in hatred in the middle of the night.”

Kazuma: "Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed this time. The wild mallet snake is a national-level UMA (unidentified creature), and there are many enthusiasts. This is not comparable to the descendants of the mountain gods in small local legends."

In fact, Kazuma wanted to suggest to Ms. Ubashima that if she really wanted to use the descendants of the Shirogane Mountain God to promote, she should find a manga artist named Takahashi Rumiko to cooperate and let her come here to draw materials.

When the time came, I told her about the legend and so on, and then she drew the national-level comic Inuyasha, which was a great publicity effect.

Ms. Umashima sighed: "That's right. I'd better promote Akutagawa Ryunosuke honestly. After all, he has really come here to soak in the hot springs."

Before he finished speaking, another lightning exploded outside.

This time the sound was so loud that Kazuma even flinched.

The worker who was sealing the windows with wooden strips suddenly shouted: "Female general! Look outside. Is this the descendant of the mountain god you are talking about?"

Kazuma was shocked. Didn't Kentaro follow Shantaro back to Hokuriku?

He was about to get up and go to the window to look, when Tamamo touched him with her thigh under the table.

Kazuma immediately understood that this was Tamamo's fault.

Akanisi had already stood up, rushed to the window, and looked out of the half-sealed window.

Then she fell backwards onto the tatami.

Zhujing also passed by. He pressed his hands on the window sill and looked outside with dumbfounded eyes: "Isn't it right? Is it true?"

Kazuma: "The wind must have blown the plastic bag on the tree."

According to Tamamo, she can't do anything big in the real world right now. She probably just summoned a gust of wind to blow white cloth or plastic bags onto the branches.

What Kazuma said here is a way to pave the way for solving the mystery later.

Anyway, looking at Akashi's appearance, she was already frightened enough. Even if he told her the truth later, she would definitely not be able to sleep well tonight.

What's more, the timing of what he said to Ma just now sounded strange.

Akanishi crawled to Kazuma's side on hands and knees, and grabbed Kazuma's thighs with both hands - I don't know if the position of her grasp was calculated, but just a little bit would have been bad.

"You can slay demons, right?"

Kazuma's first reaction was to drive Akanishi away.

After all, Tamamo is right next to her. Although Tamamo usually doesn't care about Kazuma's interactions with his disciples at the dojo, she may not be so easy to talk to women outside.

Unexpectedly, Tamamo spoke first: "Don't be afraid. As long as you stay in the same room with Kazuma tonight, there will be no problem. I will also prepare some evil things. Let's play ghost cards in Kazuma's room together."

Kazuma frowned at Tamamo, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

Tamamo: "Let's call out Seiryu and Xiaoqian, and of course Miss Amanaka. These three will probably be too scared to sleep tonight, so we just want to play together."

Kazuma really wanted to ask Tamamo directly: What are you doing when I am forcing you to have sex? Doesn't this open up the topic?

But naturally it is impossible to say this kind of thing in front of so many people. I can only wait until tonight to argue with Tamamo in my sleep.

Tamamo looked at Akanishi and Kazuma with a smile: "Is that okay?"

Kazuma: "Okay."

He didn't want to play ghost cards in a room with a beautiful girl late at night, he just chose to trust Tamamo.

**

That night, the Kiryu Dojo group and Akanishi played until late at night amidst lightning, thunder, and howling winds, before falling into a deep sleep.

They even drank up the hotel's beverage inventory because they were having so much fun.

After falling asleep, Kazuma opened his eyes and saw the scenery Tamamo showed last time - and sure enough, she found it again in her dream.

"What do you mean? I scared her out of her wits. I feel like I'm about to ask for something." Kazuma yelled as soon as he saw Tamamo - in the dream, he didn't have to worry about disturbing the people, so he could yell as loud as he wanted. How loud.

Tamamo smiled slightly: "Because I have found the last fragment that you haven't found yet. Akanishi Kaede, she is at least a quarter of the dream-eating tapir blood."

Kazuma: "Is that really the case? Let me tell you, using something mysterious like the son of a mountain god to scare her is so effective, but it turns out that she herself occupies the mysterious side? What kind of super expansion is this?"

"This is not super expansion. It is a mysterious decline. The monsters are becoming more and more like humans. It is normal for those monsters who live like humans and live, grow old, sick and die to leave offspring with humans.

"But these humans with monster blood are basically no different from ordinary people in the context of mysterious decline.

"The one adopted by Shantaro is a very rare case. After all... he is a human creation, not a naturally born half-demon.

"Of course, for a big youkai like me, even if the power is declining now, the half-demon may still have four pairs of ears, so we must be careful."

Kazuma: "Don't be defensive, I think it's fine. If my daughter has longer ears, call her Amiya. If she prefers normal fox ears, call her Suzuran."

Tamamo looked at Kazuma who had named his daughter, and blinked: "You...don't you have any other questions to ask me? About this incident."

"Uh, yes. It's been a week since you met her, why did you only find out now that she has the blood of the Dream-Eating Tapir?"

"Because the mystery is fading. If in the past, a guy with monster blood would have just entered the fifty mile radius around Edo, I would have sensed it."

Kazuma: "Wait a minute, according to the current size of Tokyo, fifty miles does not even reach the urban-rural fringe..."

"You can't talk about today's Tokyo. At that time, Tokyo was only the area near Nihonbashi, and the place further away was the territory of the Chiban Daimyo."

Kazuma shrugged: "Okay, don't worry about it. The second question is, how do you plan to make this half-demon with thin blood tell the truth?"

Tamamo hissed: "Don't worry, listen, she's coming soon."

Kazuma heard the bell ringing.

At the same time, the dream also changed, and a road composed of countless torii gates appeared in Kazuma's field of vision.

The monster, which looked a bit like a cross between an elephant and a pangolin, walked along the road and passed through torii gates one after another before finally coming to Kazuma.

The monster stared at Kazuma.

Kazuma was about to stare back when he heard a hollow voice in his ear saying: "Pretend to be dull."

It's Tamamo.

So Kazuma began to be in a daze.

The monster waited for a few seconds before turning into a human form.

"What," Chi Xifeng muttered, "It makes a loud noise, but it's nothing more than that."

He Maan resisted the urge to shout "surprise" to scare her, and waited for her to continue taking action.

Anyway, Tamamo is also playing puppet next to him, so he must have some plans.

Akanishi: "She's still a virgin, these two are really having an affair. Humph, you arrogant young lady, you definitely wouldn't have thought that my boyfriend would be stolen by me like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Akanishi's nose stretched out and poked directly at Kazuma's head.

"Let me change your will!"

--Wait a moment! Shouldn't I hide from this?

But Tamamo didn't react at all, so didn't he need to hide?

As soon as Kazuma hesitated, the elephant trunk-like thing was pressed against his forehead, and he could feel something slippery piercing directly into the cortex——

Soon after, Akanishi Kaede twitched as if he had been hit by high-voltage electricity.

The moment Kazuma had the idea that "she was hit by high-voltage electricity," the scene changed. She was really surrounded by white electric light, and bones could be seen as the electric light flashed.

After all, it is a dream, so it is normal for thoughts to be expressed in a cartoon way.

Akashi fell to the ground, rolling and screaming.

Kazuma watched her scream, thinking in his mind: Can I move?

Does Tamamo have other plans?

While he was thinking about it, Tamamo moved and looked at Kazuma in confusion.

Kazuma also stopped pretending to be a puppet and moved his body.

"What's wrong with her?" Kazuma asked.

Tamamo shrugged: "The Taoism is still shallow. How can a half-demon with a thin bloodline touch the soul of a human hero who has already formed."

Kazuma: "Is it my imagination? Are humans so fierce?"

"Human beings are so fierce, so what is declining now is mystery, and what is progressing is science." Tamamo shrugged, and then squatted down in front of Akashi, who could no longer maintain his human form, "Can you hear me? Give up. , honestly tell us what you did last year."

Akanishi turned his eyes tremblingly, looked at Tamamo, and then at Kazuma who "shocked" her, and said tremblingly: "What on earth are you..."

"I am the hero of mankind and the guardian of Osaka..."

Tamamo: "He is Kazuma Kiryu."

"Hey, at least let me have the pleasure of reporting my title in my dreams, right?"

Akanishi looked at Tamamo: "What about you?"

"My name is not important. You just need to know that even though you have the blood of the dream-eating monster, you are still no match for me in this dream. Of course, you are no match for Kazuma."

Akanishi murmured: "Tamamo... knows the history from the founding of Yamatai to the present... and it seems as if he has experienced it personally... You are..."

Kazuma: "She is Tamamo-mae."

If you don't let me say your title, then I'll say your real name, huh.

Tamamo glanced at Kazuma, then smiled at Akanishi: "Don't listen to his nonsense. I am Inari Daimyojin, Inari Hexiang, the god who blesses harvests and marriage."

Kazuma: "You're lying, there's no god named He Xiang. Isn't this the name of the little maid in Chinese novels like Dream of Red Mansions?"

Tamamo glared at Kazuma, and then said to Akanishi with a smile, "Anyway, you can't run away now. If you don't want to become a vegetative state tomorrow, just be honest."

Akanishi had recovered a lot from the "electric shock" at this time. When he heard Tamamo say this, he shouted: "It's not me! I didn't make Oda become a vegetable! I didn't! I don't have that kind of power at all!"

Kazuma also squatted down next to Akashi and looked at her lying on the ground: "How do you know you don't have that kind of power? Have you tried?"

Akashi was silent for a few seconds and nodded: "I tried. I also tried to implant the idea of ​​'die' in people's dreams, but it also failed."

Tamamo: "Indeed. Human beings have a very strong desire to survive, so spells like the Law of Death are advanced spells."

Kazuma was keenly aware that Tamamo was tampering with Dungeons and Dragons, but he decided to pretend he didn't notice.

In Akanishi's current state, she naturally couldn't find the problem in Tamamo's words. She said in detail: "It's actually quite laborious to fall into a dream like this. Once I do it, I will be sluggish for more than a week. So throughout high school, I I just barely made Watanabe-kun fall in love with me..."

Kazuma: "Oh? What you mean by this is that he didn't like you originally?"

"Yes, he originally liked the former head of the Supernatural Department, our senior. It took me three years to make Watanabe forget about his senior and fall in love with me..."

Tamamo: "Lying. I believe that dreams combined with real-life interactions can make someone without a sweetheart fall in love with you. But now I don't believe what you are saying. Have you forgotten? I am Inari Daimyojin, the god of harvest and marriage."

Only then did Kazuma realize that Tamamo had deliberately emphasized the purpose of being a priest.

Akanishi hesitated a few times and surrendered: "Well, I couldn't make Mr. Watanabe forget about senior. Not only that, Watanabe also started to feel that something was wrong with his dream."
