Chapter 210: The Unexpected Visitor's Monster
At night, Inari Shrine is very quiet, except for the occasional sound of cicadas, only a few rooms in the shrine will hear the slight snoring of people sleeping after being drunk.
Natsuki lay on the tatami floor of the room and slowly fell asleep.
However, in this shrine, which has always been peaceful, something extraordinary is destined to happen tonight.
Located in the apse of the shrine,Once hidden by Inari Yubai.,The apse that even Hinata Nanami didn't know.,Until Inari Yubai had an accident.,Hinata Nanami didn't know.,And the apse that locked it with his own hands.,An unusual fluctuation suddenly appeared.。
And at the moment when that fluctuation appeared, Natsuki in his sleep suddenly felt a certain feeling, and his brows in the dream furrowed slightly.
All the spaces in the apse of the shrine are all over the temple, and on the wall behind the rope, a light curtain flashes with dazzling light, and at this time, the light suddenly flourishes, and a figure that looks a little sneaky appears from behind the light curtain and appears in the apse.
The figure looked around with some hesitation at first, and after seeing the surrounding scene clearly with the help of the light curtain, an expression of surprise instantly appeared on his face.
"I, am I out? I'm finally out. By the way, we must hurry up and find out what happened to Lord Yubai. ”
After the figure calmed down for a moment, he began to pass through the dense thread in front of him according to the method of rolling melon that he had memorized in advance.
I saw that he was like an agent in an action movie, with extremely complex movements, little by little over the densely connected Zhu Lian rope, paying attention not to touch the Zhu Lian rope at all, but fortunately he was a monster, his physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people, so he could do many extremely complex actions, so it took a long time to finally come to the door of the apse.
"Phew, come here, then be careful. Although I don't know why Lord Yubai lost contact, but since Lord Yubai has lost contact, it means that this shrine at the exit outside is probably no longer safe, so you must be careful and careful. The youkai muttered everyone's advice before leaving, took a deep breath, and then slowly pushed open the door to the apse.
Because it had not been maintained for a long time, the door of the apse creaked and was heard far away in the night.
The youkai was frightened by the sound, and finally found that nothing had happened, so he quickly dodged out of the apse, and carefully closed the door of the apse.
And it also made a creaking sound, it seems that this door is in disrepair, even if you pay attention to it, there will definitely be a sound.
The youkai turned his head to look around to make sure that the wind and grass around him were moving, until he was sure that there was really no problem and no one had noticed, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.
Then he began to look around.
"Is this the so-called earthly world? Tamabara-sama's Inari Shrine? It doesn't look like the Inari Shrine on the other side of the Inari Great Barrier! It's just that it seems to lack a good relationship.,It's a little dilapidated.。 No, I'm going to get out of here, it's not clear what's going on, I can't stay here for long. However, I still want to see the Inari Shrine in the world. The youkai chattered a lot, and finally couldn't control himself and wandered around the shrine.
It wasn't until he stood on the edge of the shrine and looked down the hill that he saw the brightly lit streets outside, the cars in the distance, and the night scene of the whole of Tokyo in the distance.
It's a relatively remote place, so the streets aren't very busy, there aren't many cars at night, and even the night view of Tokyo can only be seen from afar, but I still see this youkai who has never seen this scene before.
"So, is that what a car is called? A means of transportation on earth? I've seen it in books, but it's really amazing, and the metropolis at night is so beautiful. The monster sighed with heartfelt emotion in the face of this ordinary scene in the world, but it is not surprising to think that he may have been in that blessed place since he was born and has never seen the outside world.
"Yes, the changes in the world over the years are indeed very fast." And just as the monster sighed, a light sigh suddenly came from his side, and he also sighed.
The monster nodded in agreement, but before he could say anything, he reacted instantly, obviously he didn't notice it at all, how did he get so close to such a close distance? The youkai only felt the hair on its body stand on end, and quickly tried to distance itself from the beings that made sounds around it.
But before he could make a move, the person next to him lightly stretched out a hand and pressed it on his shoulder.
Suddenly, the youkai felt that he had lost his ability to move, and he couldn't move.
"You, who are you? What are you doing? There was already a cry in the voice of the youkai, and it was obvious that this was a youkai who was not very daring.
Natsuki, on the other hand, began to look at the monster that quietly appeared from the apse, only to see that this monster was thin and small, and looked like a girl's height.
But the appearance is that of a boy with a sharp beak monkey cheeks, and it is obvious that he has also changed into a human form.
"Shall I ask you that? What kind of monster are you? Where did it come from? Natsuki asked.
"I, I won't say it, the elders can't say it." The youkai said in a voice that was about to cry.
"Don't you say? Well, I haven't eaten a youkai yet, so I might as well roast you and eat it. Natsuki touched his chin with one hand and thought seriously.
"No, don't, don't eat me! I say, I say! It's a kappa, I'm a kappa. The youkai had already cried out and said.
"Was it a kappa? It's really the first type of youkai I've seen, so what about the name? And where did it come from? Natsuki continued to ask.
"My name is Jiumuren, and I came out of the Inari Great Enchantment." The kappa replied in tears as if he had been frightened by Natsuki.
"Inari Great Enchantment? How's that going on now? Natsuki nodded and continued to ask.
"Everyone is having a bad time, although it was not good before, but with Lord Yubai, he can block the loss of spiritual energy in the Inari Great Enchantment, and occasionally add a little spiritual power to come in, so everyone can still support it, but since Lord Yubai lost contact, the Inari Great Enchantment has become weaker and weaker, and it can no longer block the loss of aura. Originally, there was little spiritual energy replenished, but now it has begun to drain again, which naturally makes it worse, so the elder sent me out to take a look at the situation. Kappa Kumoren replied.
"Just send a guy like you out?" Natsuki's tone was obviously a little unconvinced.
"I, I'm actually very strong, and the most important thing is to be proficient in covert skills, not easy to be discovered, and easy to find out the news." Kappa Kumu said proudly at first, but when he thought of being easily caught by Natsuki, he suddenly became listless again.
"Is it strong? Indeed, your strength is still good. Natsuki nodded, agreeing with this, if it weren't for Natsuki who happened to be resting here at the shrine today, Hinata Nanami might not have been able to find Kappa Jiumuren at all, and even if he did, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to catch him.
But for now, the kappa has to blame for his bad luck.
So a moment later, with Natsuki's knocks on the door, everyone woke up.
Even Hinata Nanami and Chiaki Konoe, who are already asleep after getting drunk.
"Xia Shujun, is there something wrong?" Hinata Nanami hadn't sobered up yet, and her eyes were red and she asked.
But even so, Natsuki had to wake her up, after all, it was something related to the Inari Great Barrier left by Inari Yubai, so Natsuki had to inform her as soon as possible.
It's pure that Natsuki was woken up when Hinata Nanami woke up.,Because she usually drinks a lot.,So although she only slept for a while.,But it's basically awake.,That's when she was woken up.。
And Hinata Nanami woke up, Hatsuhashi Mitsuki will naturally be fine, and Igarashi Kazuka will also not let go of the opportunity to join in the fun.
"yes, yes, what are you doing waking everyone up in the middle of the night?" Igarashi Fenghua, who was in the fun, also asked.
"You can go back to sleep." Natsuki didn't care about Igarashi at all and said to her.
"It's okay, I can sleep again in a while." Igarashi Fenghua didn't want to miss this good show.
As for how she knew that this was a good show, she only had to look at the thin man who was pressed by Natsuki.
Although she didn't know who the other party was, Igarashi Fenghua's gossip instinct told her that something fun was about to happen, and how could she not be a bystander.
So Natsuki explained to Hinata Nanami.
"He infiltrated from the Inari Great Barrier, and I found out." Natsuki said.
"Inari Great Barrier?" At first, Hinata Nanami, who was still a little controlled by alcohol, didn't react, but then her eyes widened instantly, "You mean Inari Great Enchantment?" The tone was full of excitement, even his eyes were sharp, and the drunkenness on his body was suddenly run out of the clouds, and he sobered up in an instant.
"That's right, it's the Inari Great Enchantment, and he was sent out to find out the news." Natsuki nodded and added.
"How do you cross the Inari Great Barrier? Can I get in? Hinata Nanami quickly asked Kappa Kumeren.
Previously, because Inari Yubai did not leave a way to communicate with the Inari Great Barrier, nor did he leave a way to pass through the Great Barrier, Hinata Nanami could neither connect with the existence within the Inari Great Barrier, nor could he enter the Inari Great Barrier.
Until this time, when I saw a youkai coming out of the Inari Great Enchantment, I was naturally pleasantly surprised and wanted to ask for clarification.
"Go in? I will never let your plot succeed, and you will not want to enter the Inari Great Barrier. Who knew that after hearing Hinata Nanami's question, Kappa Kumuren, who was still very cowardly when he faced Natsuki just now, suddenly became tough again.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of being roasted and eaten by us?" Natsuki said amusedly as he looked at the kappa who suddenly became tougher.
"Just, even if you eat me, I will never betray everyone, and I will never let you enter the Inari Great Enchantment! And besides, I'm not tasty, why are you eating me? After saying that, Kappa Kumuren began to cry.
Natsuki, who watched it, shook his head amusedly, Hinata Nanami was dumbfounded, Konoe Chiaki frowned, Yatsuhashi Mitsuki was confused, and Igarashi Kazuka was eager to try.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't eat you, don't eat you, we have no ill will towards you." Natsuki had no choice but to comfort him.
"Really, really?" Kappa looked incredulous, but his crying stopped for the time being, but he was still sobbing quietly.
"Of course, do you know who she is?" Natsuki pointed to Hinachi and said.
"I don't know." Kappa shook his head.
"She is the witch of Inari Yubai, and she was also raised by Inari Yubai since she was a child." Natsuki said.
"Jade-sama's witch?" Jiumuren was stunned for a moment, and the eyes that looked at Hinata Nanami contained adoration.
So Hinata Nanami immediately made a dignified gesture as much as possible, not to be ashamed of his identity.
"No, if you're the shrine maiden of Lord Jadewhite, then why are you here? Lord Yubai is gone, why are you still here at the shrine? Have you taken refuge in the enemy? Kappa didn't even know what was going on in his brain, and his eyes widened again in an instant.
"What a mess, where is the enemy?" Natsuki stretched out his hand and patted Kappa on the head and said.
"No enemies? How could Lord Yubai suddenly disappear? After Kappa Jiumuren was beaten by Natsuki, it seemed that his IQ was on the line, but then he was puzzled.
"Anyway, something did happen to Inari Yubai, but it wasn't because the enemy occupied the shrine or anything like that! This is all modern society.,This shrine belongs to Nanami-san according to the law.,Who can force it! Natsuki shook his head and popularized common sense for Kappa Jiumulian.
"So, what the hell is going on? What about Tambai-sama? However, Kappa Kumoren was not moved by Natsuki's explanation, and continued to inquire about Inari Tamahiro's whereabouts.
Natsuki wanted to say something, but was stopped by Nanami Hinata at this time.
"Xia Shujun, let's talk about it next." Hinata Nanami said.
"Are you going to do it?" Natsuki frowned slightly.
"Since he came out of the Inari Great Barrier, he should know the truth, and this should have been told to everyone in the Inari Great Barrier." Hinata Nanami's bloodshot eyes said calmly, she was going to give everything and everything.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Natsuki reached out and patted Hinata Nanami on the shoulder.
"Well, do we need to avoid it?" Igarashi Fenghua suddenly raised her hand and asked.
Although there were traces of gossip in her eyes, she still knew when to do something.
"No, it's not something to hide." Hinata Nanami just shook his head faintly.
So Igarashi Fenghua happily said that she would listen quietly, and at the same time secretly clenched her fist and secretly screamed good luck.
