"The so-called [Wind Shutdown Period] is generally believed to refer to the period when the Youmeng gradually decreases its activity or even stops its activity due to unknown reasons. During this period, the demon dream will not attack humans, but will hibernate as if it were hibernating. For ordinary humans, this should be a good thing, but for otherworldly people like us, it's a mixed bag. ”

Kuriyama Mirai said.

"Because the Demon Dream has stopped moving, it means that within a period of time, usually 2 months, a large number of Demon Dreams have disappeared, and the passage that the Otherworldly Warriors rely on for their livelihood will temporarily disappear. Therefore, in the period before the [Wind Stop] period, we Otherworldly Warriors will be like hamsters about to hibernate, constantly hunting Demon Dreams and hoarding 'food' to prevent starvation to death during this period of [Wind Stop]. In the past, there were many careless Otherworldly Warriors who didn't save enough money and didn't find a suitable demon dream hunt, and had to rely on yokan and frozen snacks to survive in the [Wind Stoppage]. ”

Although it is an understatement, Kuriyama Miku still inadvertently reveals the pathetic way of life of the Otherworldly.

Despite their superhuman strength and long heritage, the Otherworldly Warriors are flesh and blood after all, and injuries and even death are common when crusading against Youmeng.

As a subspecies of exorcists, the Otherworldly Warriors are actually in a very awkward position.

They have the means to hunt them, observing them and killing them by sight or other means. But they don't have the slightest grasp of other "mysteries", and they can't even bend the spoon - although this is the way to test superpowers, even beginner magicians with small tricks can use it.

Their lives are like a demon dream, both prosperous and lost, without the demon dream, no one will need them who only know how to hunt the demon dream.

If there is no demon dream, they will gradually assimilate with the onmyoji like the four major exorcism families that have declined, and finally dissipate in the tide of history.

"What about the good things?"

Lynn asked.

Most of the things Kuriyama said about Lynn had already learned from the information reports on paper, but as a magician living in Europe, no report was as complete as the local outsiders in Japan. After all, they have lived in this land for thousands of years, and only they know some secret things.

And the Kuriyama clan, which has been inherited for a long time, must know these things.

"A good thing"

Looking up at the bright moon, Kuriyama Mirai sighed.

————————————————————————————————————

"Youmeng are gradually reducing their mobility, according to incomplete statistics, just in the land of our Nase family, the strength of Youmeng has decreased by 10%~15%. This is only the prelude to the [Suspension Period], and when the [Suspension Period] officially arrives, except for those high-level demon dreams that already have a complete personality and can be called fantasy species, they will completely lose their ability to move and sleep in the leylines or abandoned houses. ”

Here, it was a damp grotto, and layers of bat droppings were piling up on the ground, as if it had not been cleaned for thousands of years, exuding an unbearable smell for ordinary people, but the woman standing on it seemed to completely ignore this, and said indifferently to a deep black fog.

"And some high-level demon dreams have maintained the same practices as in previous years. For example, Xintang Caihua, she opened the enchantment early, and it was claimed to be 'idlers dispersed', but in fact, it was able to isolate the invasion of the otherworld, and the level was above A, and it was completely linked to the leylines of the big enchantment. ”

The black mist was a little restless, emitting an invisible ripple, stirring on the layers of stalactites in the damp cave, and it took a long time to calm down.

"That's right." There was a sound of two pieces of rusty iron rubbing against each other, and if it weren't for the familiarity, they wouldn't know it was human language.

"Anything else?"

The woman who is known as Izumi Nase unconsciously lowered her head when she heard this voice.

Although the Nase family claims to the outside world that Izumi Nase has become the head of the family, only she knows that she is actually just a 'supervisor'.

As a substitute for the real head of the family when he doesn't do anything, although he has been determined to be the next head of the house, in the eyes of the man in front of her, it should be just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.

"In addition, there is also the recent demon dream that has disappeared at an abnormal rate. Even if you count all the otherworldly warriors in this area, even if you count the power of that alien magician, there is still a part of the vacancy that cannot be ignored, and it seems that some kind of 'weird' exile has been here. It's still uncertain, but there is one thing, that 'weird' does not have the idea of harming people, and in fact, the number of Youmu attacks on humans has decreased recently due to the [Wind Stoppage]. ”

"Also, the alien Aliens have begun to form squads. It is all over the country that covers the "wind outage period". ”

During the [Wind Stop] period, the biggest benefit for the Otherworlders is that they can hunt those prey that they can't usually catch. Whether it's a monster that the otherworldly warriors can only look up to from afar, or a demon king who can't be defeated with human life, it can be easily hit at this time.

For young Otherworlders who want to make a name for themselves, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack.

In the past, Xintang Caihua was such an existence that was chased by other worldly people, and even though she was now semi-reclusive, she still retained her original habits.

"Leave those squads of Otherworldrs alone and do your best to track down the source of that 'weirdness'. In addition, there is the magician, to be well watched. ”

After a pause, the man hiding in the black fog spoke in a stiff tone.

"If you can, spy on his secrets, intercept his power, and use this as his main course of action, and in the communication with him, don't leak everything about the Nase family, remember, hiding is the key to a family like ours."

"Also, communicate with him as much as possible with the half-demon boy we have already controlled. However, considering that the [Wind Suspension Period] also has enough influence on him, a half-demon, and can even reduce his demon power and weaken his immortal body, it is necessary to observe him more. Take advantage of Mitsuki and Bochen's influence on him, and don't let him get too close to that magician. ”

"Don't forget, we also have the intention of hunting the 'other side of the realm'. Therefore, when the time is right, you can let Mitsuki and Bochen communicate with him. But enough deep friendship is not allowed, and they can't be allowed to deviate their position because of emotional reasons. ”

"And you must not go outside of your home to talk to him, this is the basis for us to maintain the right to take the initiative to communicate with him."

"Once he has a different behavior than he originally agreed, first report to the Tokyo Onmyokai and let them make adjustments, so as not to waste the power of the Nase family too much, and then report to the Tsuchigomon family. Our Nase family wants to break away from the idea of the Tsuchigomon, even if the man has seen it, but as long as it is not broken, it doesn't matter. ”

One order after another was laid down.

An unpleasant hoarse sound reverberated through the cavern.

The black mist fluctuated, as if it was about to engulf the woman in front of her with her head down.

(That's it.) ）

The hand is tight, and the calluses left by the usual use of the pheasant knife rub against the fingers that are not smooth.

(Father, you must not have thought of me as your daughter.) ）

The head hung deeply, without the slightest desire to lift up, and under the cover of the drooping hair, a pair of beautiful eyes, at this time, were like dead lakes, without the slightest fluctuation.

(It's always been the case, I'm in front of you, just a good tool, the best tool to be able to execute your orders at any time, and you can't go wrong.) ）

A drop of cloudy liquid, dripping from the stalactites on the top of the head, unbiasedly dripped to the top of the head, slid down the bangs to the corners of the eyes, and then down the corners of the eyes, and gradually disappeared to the side of the face.

(Or, my quality is not as good as Bochen and Mitsuki in your eyes, and can only be a tool and a test subject.) ）

"Good father."

Empty answers, echoing in the cavern.

"I'll do what you want."

On the top of the damp cavern, between the dripping stalactites, countless scarlet eyes opened, and ultrasound waves that could not be heard by humans began to echo in this cave that only existed for two people.

This is the darkest place in the Nase family, a place that no one like Mitsuki Nase can know about who doesn't even have the right in name.

(Father, your darkness, the darkness of the Nase family, it would be nice for me to bear it alone.) ）

Hidden beneath the Nase family's mansion is a secret grotto that houses countless bats capable of killing people.

(I hope you really don't spread this darkness to Mitsuki Bochen again.) ）

and, the seat of the true head of the house.

(If you do break the agreement you made with me.) ）

Striding away from the underground grotto, Izumi Nase looked up, took a deep breath of air, and glanced at the bright moon.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, a pair of light purple, beautiful and hollow eyes, the pupils gradually erected, slender and bewitching.

————————————————————————————————————————

"Ah, I'm so tired."

Kamihara Akito, dragging his tired body, walked to his home step by step.

Saying that it is home, in fact, it is renting an apartment indoors and living alone.

Today, after listening to a few words from the shopkeeper of the Royal Sister, for some reason, Kamihara Akito felt that his mood was extremely irritable.

"Akito, remember, the Nase family is definitely not our friend."

I don't know when, this sentence, which has long been forgotten in the depths of memory, keeps repeating in the mind of the half-demon boy.

Maybe it's because this is a rare serious thing that my mother has.

The boy comforted himself like this.

However, he actually knew and knew the reason why he recalled this sentence.

Lynn is the one she should be careful with.

Those who don't know each other are the ones you should be careful about.

The Nase family is also the object of their own attention.

Yourself, in the end, should

Akito Kamihara, who was in a complicated mood, opened the door to the apartment. It's not a women-only apartment, but it takes safety management very seriously. If you don't have a special magnetic card key, you can't even open the entrance door. There was also a large heavy lock locked on the mailbox.

Therefore, the lazy Kamihara Akito always waits until the mailbox is about to burst, and then he will slowly open the mailbox and look at the expired messages one after another.

But now, Kamihara Akito, who felt very bad, opened the mailbox before entering the house and took out the letters inside.

In a large number of advertising leaflets, there are charges for the three lifelines of water and electricity. Among the piles of what the half-demon boy looked like waste paper, there was also a postcard with only the recipient's address written on it.

“”

Kamihara Akito hit a spirit, and all the things that were still silently in his heart just now were forgotten, and his whole body entered a state of tension.

Not because of anything else, but because it was a survival report sent by his parents from time to time.

The postmark on the postcard is the end of March. And now it's close to late April, which means that this postcard email has been in the mailbox for more than half a month.

Although this has something to do with the laziness of the half-demon boy, there is also a little reason with the parents, because the sending date of the survival report postcard is too unstable. Sometimes it's sent three times a month, sometimes it's been almost a year.

Postcards without any handwriting other than the address on them are to be interpreted in a special way, entrusting the power of [Missing]. The mother of the half-demon boy is one of the few Otherworlders who can use small spells that are not lethal, which is actually an incredible situation for other Otherworlders, because it is the orthodoxy of the Otherworldly Warriors to spend the time learning these "useless spells" to practice "more useful spells".

"Wait a minute." The half-demon boy suddenly realized a situation.

"Don't I have to go to Caihua to decipher!"

Even if he is a child of an otherworldly priest, but Kamihara Akito actually doesn't know any magic or spells, except for the immortal body, he is like an ordinary person.

So, Kamihara Akito, who found that he was going to be grieved, let out a cry of sorrow.

"Well, even so, they're still alive." Looking up and looking at the bright moon, the young man with a headache let out such a sigh.

"It's, it's great."
