Rebirth of Tokyo, open the wrong plug-in

When the concert ended and it was already 11:30 after packing up, Kiryu Ichiru took a late-night oden with great satisfaction. After rejecting the invitation from the monk Hosei, he returned to the room.

Hosei and the others booked a Holiday Inn, which was renovated from an old house from the late Edo period. The soundproofing conditions were not very good, but the room was very spacious.

It is said that there are hot springs for bathing, but no one would go there in the hot summer weather.

Instead, when Hosheng left, he invited Kiryu to go to the swimming pool with him tomorrow. It is said that there is a huge swimming pool nearby, and you can swim in it for free to relieve the heat.

Kiryu Yiyi has no interest in this.

"I'll go back in about two or three days. Do you want to take this opportunity to walk around?"

He is not a member of the band, so his movements are completely unrestricted.

Kiryu Yiyi is very concerned about the so-called "cursed witch", so if there is a chance, he would like to find out the root cause.

After eating supper, Kiryu lay down on the tatami and fell asleep slowly.

"Boom!"

"Is there thunder?" Kiryu opened his eyes suddenly.

The room was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.

His throat was slightly dry. Kiryu swallowed twice and prepared to get up to find some water to drink.

Suddenly, a strong light flashed outside the sliding door.

A strong body estimated to be 2.2 meters tall stood behind the paper sliding door.

"Foreigners, how dare you disrespect the gods!"

The voice could not distinguish between male and female, it was more neutral, and there was strong anger in the voice.

[Folklorist] has been activated.

"what?"

Kiryu Yiyi raised his hand, and the demon-repelling talisman appeared in his hand.

"boom!"

A sound like thunder was heard again. The tall figure standing outside the paper sliding door spread out a pair of wings, and the shadow of the wings almost covered all the light behind him!

It looks like a very scary and huge monster, somewhat like the Great Tengu in the Japanese monster legend.

But there is one thing that is strange about Kiryu Yishi. Although the sound effects in front of him are sufficient and the pressure of the shadow is sufficient, the other party does not seem to have the intention to rush in and punish himself for being a "blasphemous" guy.

"Are you planning to scare me to death?"

Kiryu Yiyi held the demon-repelling talisman and carefully opened the door.

What surprised him was that there was no so-called big monster outside the door. There was a flashlight on the ground, and in front of the flashlight was a birdman with wings about 25 centimeters tall.

The shadow cast on Kiryu's first door also belongs to this birdman.

"oh?"

After being discovered by Kiryu Yiyi, Birdman did not run away. Instead, he flapped his wings and flew up with a sneer: "Have you been able to resist the aura of this big monster? It seems you still have some abilities!"

"..."

Kiryu walked over, grabbed the birdman flying in the air with one hand, and attached the unactivated demon-repelling talisman to the opponent.

"Ah! Spare your life, it's so scary, spare your life!"

Kiryu Yiyi couldn't help complaining: "...so weak."

Simply, weaker than ordinary ghosts.

He picked up the flashlight on the ground and returned to the room with the birdman in hand. The unactivated demon-repelling talisman did have a certain deterrent effect and could ward off evil spirits, but in terms of lethality... it had almost no lethality.

"Please forgive my offense! The powerful Onmyoji!" Birdman was placed on the floor by Kiryu, and he immediately knelt down.

"What are you?" Kiryu Yiyi lowered his head and asked.

"It's Crow Tengu!" Birdman replied respectfully.

He observed the other person carefully and realized that the birdman did indeed look like a human, but his body was covered with feathers, he had a bird head, four limbs, and wings on his back.

He was only wearing a thin "yamabushi" and had a round fan and a scepter around his waist.

It is somewhat similar to the legendary Crow Tengu.

"But you are too young!" Kiryu said all the way.

"Because...for some special reasons," Crow Tengu said, "I am already one of the strongest monsters left in this world."

"..." Kiryu Yiyi didn't know where he got the confidence from, but he actually said that he was one of the strongest.

Just from the weird stories I came into contact with during this period, there were quite a few scary ghost stories that had the ability to kill people.

Kiryu returned to the topic and asked: "Why did you attack me?"

Crow Tengu lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head: "Yes, I'm very sorry, Onmyoji-sama! I used to live in a tree of a shrine. Because of the country's demolition, the shrine was demolished and the tree was cut down. I trudged across mountains and rivers

I moved here, but... I am a monster, and I need someone to worship and remember me, otherwise my strength will become weaker and weaker."

Kiryu Yiyi nodded suddenly: "So you are targeting me and Riko?"

"I'm really sorry!" Crow Tengu said while lying on his stomach: "Because outsider city people are very superstitious. They may seem to talk about science, but secretly they believe in superstition and bad luck. They are very easy to deceive... Ah,

I'm not saying you're stupid, I'm just talking about the city people other than you."

"That's right." Kiryu nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not angry."

It is the rich who visit temples the most. Ordinary people have to work, so even if they finally have a day off, they will not waste time worshiping Buddha and praying to gods, let alone paying a lot of money to worship.

Ordinary people can at most buy a stick of incense or donate a little change.

Kiryu's thoughts suddenly changed: "Why should we gild the Buddha's body? Because people like gold. Why should we donate money to gods? Because people like money."

He shook his head and brought his thoughts back.

"You are a powerful Onmyoji, please let me serve you!" Crow Tengu begged on his knees.

"Um……"

Kiryu hesitated. The combat power of this Crow Tengu was probably not even able to deal with a wild cat.

But after all, it was the first monster he encountered in the main world, and if he stayed with him, it could also act as an "activator", activating [Folklorist] at any time to help Kiryu improve his attributes.

"what can you do?"

"The yard with my protection will be very happy and complete."

"You don't sound like a Crow Tengu." Kiryu asked again, "What do you usually eat?"

"I can hunt for bugs myself, and if you have a meal I can enjoy it too."

"...You are just a bird monster."

Kiryu Yiichi showed an expression that showed he could see through the disguise.

"What is your name?"

"Black Feather!"

"What about gender?"

"Female...but she hasn't hatched the eggs yet!" Black Feather replied.

I had never heard of any Crow Tengu hatching eggs, so Kiryu Yiyi had already determined in his mind that this guy was definitely a monster turned into a bird.

A harpy with self-species error?

"Then, I will accept you temporarily," Kiryu Yiyi said, "But from today on, you can no longer curse other people."

"Please rest assured, Master!" Kuroyu was surprised.

【social contact】

【Black Feather(Luckily)】

[Favorability: 92 (pious)]

[Message: It’s great to be able to rely on a strong and broad-minded Onmyoji Master!]

"It's getting late, Kuroyu won't disturb your rest, sir."

The 25-centimeter birdman suddenly transformed into a black bird of unknown species, flapped its wings and left the room.

Kiryu, who successfully subdued a "big monster", yawned and lay down to sleep.

It will be a while before dawn, but if I am interrupted from rest, I may not be in a good state of mind tomorrow.
