In Japan, many of the same yokai look different, such as kappa, some of which look like children of 3 or 4 years old, but their bodies are covered with hard scales that cannot be pierced by a bow and arrow, and they usually dive into the water with their whole body, revealing only their knees, which resemble tiger claws. There are the beak of a bird, the limbs of a frog, the body of a monkey and the shell of a turtle, like a complex of many animals.

Some kappa look like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, some want to look like ** humans, some have forgive-colored skin, a bald hairstyle like some middle-aged old men, a duck's mouth, and a kappa that is human except for the hands of the Nura family.

Kappa, also known as water tigers, originated in the upper reaches of China's Yellow River basin and then spread to Japan.

Legend has it that his weakness is the dish on his head, and if he tricks the kappa into bending over and the water in the dish on his head runs out, he will lose his energy.

Kappa's favorite foods are gherkins, eggplants, pumpkins, and hemp stems, and the kappa's hated things are metal (iron), corn, carob, hemp ashes, antlers, morning glory, and gourds, and his hobby is to play sumo with children.

In the beginning, the kappa was a spirit in the water, and was worshipped by the people as a river god, and there is also a theory that the kappa was a messenger of the water god, and it was formed by the frost that fell from the water god.

However, some of the kappa, who are not of good character, drown many innocent people every year, and these bad kappa will hide in the water and take the opportunity to grab people's feet, and after pulling people into the water, they will eat some of the internal organs.

Slowly, the kappa transforms from a river god into a fearsome youkai.

Actually, some kappa don't know it, but they like to play pranks.

And the kappa below is different from the traditional kappa, with a lotus leaf on its head, and a small plate in the middle of the lotus leaf, which should be similar to the dish on the head of the traditional kappa, with frog hands and feet, and the rest is no different from humans.

Interestingly, this carp monster can blow bubbles, and the bubbles are so big that they can even fit themselves into them, and then be carried up by the bubbles, float in the air, and fall into the water from the air when the bubbles burst.

This carp monster Lori is surrounded by a lot of small bubbles all the time.

"Kappa, carp spirit ......"

Yae Sakura looked at the two youkai below and muttered to herself with a hint of weirdness.

These two monsters are indeed different, because they are more like characters in NetEase Onmyoji.

It's just that I don't know if they will have those abilities in there, if it's the same as the mountain rabbit that is useless except for selling cute errands, then there is no need to accept them at all.

If anything, Kappa's ability to control water, the super version of the carp essence, is still very useful.

......

When the kappa and the carp spirit stopped playing, the kappa looked at the carp spirit with a little hesitation and said shyly:

"That...... Small carp. ”

"What's wrong? Mr. Kappa? The carp spirit played with the bubbles around him and looked at the kappa suspiciously.

"Thank you for staying with me for so long today."

"Oops! Didn't Mr. Kappa play with me? I'm having a great day! ”

"Really...... I'm also very happy! Kappa said softly with a slight blush.

"Ah~ By the way, can you touch the plate on Mr. Kappa's head?" The carp spirit looked curiously at a small plate-like thing in the middle of the lotus leaf on the kappa's head.

Kappa: "Huh? …… Don't want it...... I'm so embarrassed......"

The carp spirit's beautiful big eyes stared at the plate on the kappa's head in confusion, and said curiously, "But...... Looks like a lot of fun......"

Kappa looked at the carp spirit, hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

"Okay...... Ahh Please stop!"

When the carp touched it a few times, the kappa hurriedly said anxiously.

(Then this little plate is the death hole of the kappa!) ）

The carp spirit withdrew her white little hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Kappa is really interesting!"

"That...... I... I might have to get out of here for a while......" Kappa said reluctantly, looking at the carp spirit.

"Huh? Why? I've been here all along! Why leave? Am I doing something wrong?

Or did I touch the plate on your head and you got angry? I won't be like this in the future! ”

Hearing Kappa's words, the carp spirit hurriedly looked at Kappa nervously.

Seeing the nervous appearance of the carp spirit, the kappa hurriedly explained.

"It's not! It's not because of you that you're thinking too much.

There are some things I have to do. I don't have any real friends, only you...... I don't want to leave either, and I think being with the little carp is the happiest day for me.

I'll be back for sure, though. ”

If only I could come back alive!

But I have to do this, I can't let the word kappa become an evil youkai anymore, maybe I'm an outlier among kappa!

"Is that so? Not because of me? But how long are you going to be away from Mr. Kappa? "Carp essence.

"Maybe seven days! It could also be a long time. The kappa looked at the carp spirit with a hint of remembrance and farewell.

"......" carp essence.

"Looks like Mr. Kappa has something very important to do, and I can't stop you.

Mr. Kappa, this shell is a lucky shell given to me by my former mother, I heard that it can be ~~ dangerous outside! Mr. Kappa, I'll give you this shell! Mr. Kappa, goodbye~~~" Looking at the kappa, the carp took out a very beautiful shell, touched it with his hand, and handed it to the kappa.

"This is a relic left by your aunt! I can't ask for it. When Kappa saw this, he quickly shook his head.

"It's okay, you take it, or I'll be angry!" The carp spirit directly and resolutely handed the shell to the kappa.

"This...!! Thank you!! I will definitely cherish it...... I won't let it lose a bit..."The kappa took the shell and looked at the carp spirit seriously.

"That's... Take care, Mr. Kappa! The carp spirit looked at the kappa.

"Hmmm! Take care! "Kappa.

...

"Come out! Fireflies! ”

Yae Sakura looked at the kappa from above as if she was leaving, and without waiting, she summoned Shikigami Firefly and appeared on the edge of the lake.

"Firefly, don't you like to fight? Compete with the two youkai in front of you! Let me see what they're capable of! "Yae Sakura.
