Tokyo, Onyojuku.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, Miyo Kurahashi, the head of the school, who was already full of silver hair, raised her head and quietly stared at the night sky.

"It's amazing......"

Turning around, Miyo Kurahashi picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number.

It didn't take long for the phone to go through.

"Yo, why did you call me?"

On the other end of the phone, a man's voice rang.

"Tianhai, the demon star is here."

In the past, Miyo Kurahashi wouldn't mind gossiping with the guy with the title of "God Fan", but now, she had to cut straight to the topic.

"What!? Could it be ......?"

"You're right, I'm afraid the seal of that monster has changed."

"That little girl happens to be in that area now, isn't it because of her!?"

"I don't care about this, in short, if the matter is big, it is your Yin Yang Hall that is not easy to explain."

"You're really indifferent, your son is now the chief of the Yin and Yang Hall."

"But it's you, the old guy, standing on the table, isn't it?"

"Hey, you're not qualified to call me ......."

Subsequently, the phone was hung up in a hurry.

Like Miyo Kurahashi, Taijun Tsuchigomon, who has the ability to sing the stars and can use the stars for divination, also discovered the appearance of the demon star for the first time.

There was no time to inform anyone, and the frightened Tuyumen Taichun hurried towards the mountain.

◇

Suzuka held aloft a capital with a shrine written on it, and her whole body exuded powerful spiritual power.

More than the spiritual power that Natsume beside Haruho could exude.

"This ...... Is it the strength of the twelve divine generals? ”

Chunhu, who was firmly pressed to the ground by the talisman, struggled to raise his head and stared closely ahead.

The mana filled the altar and gushed out through the top of Guò Mountain, reaching into the sky.

With the crisp sound of Suzuka chanting the rituals, the surrounding spirits began to change drastically.

In a trance. Haruha and Natsume seem to have the illusion that they have come to another time and space.

The main god of the monarch of Mount Tai and the lord of the underworld.

The legendary god who presides over the life and death of human beings has appeared.

It is not through the eyes, but directly into the heart that perceives it.

That's the ghost vision ability that only an Onmyoji and those who have the qualifications to become an Onmyoji have.

"Natsu, Natsume, this is-"

"I don't know! But it's God! ”

At this time, Natsume no longer has the majestic appearance of riding on the Shikijin white horse before. Trembling all over, he said in a frightened tone.

Both her and Chunhu's eyes were firmly drawn to the altar that was already full of aura.

Suzuka held aloft like a feather blown by the wind, fluttering into the sky.

The folded washi paper placed side by side continued to spread, and then a sudden cyan flame burned the washi paper to the ground.

And then—

"Brother!!"

The young onmyoji hugged her brother's yellowed corpse tightly.

The young man lying on the altar slowly twisted his body.

Haruka and Natsume held their breath and their eyes widened. In their eyes, the dead boy was resurrected.

It's just that unspeakable fear invaded their hearts in an instant.

It was the instinctive reaction of human beings when they touched the taboo.

The hairs were raised, and Chunhu was almost so frightened that he couldn't make any meaningful sound.

"Brother!!"

Suzuka shouted again.

Hearing his sister's voice, the boy slowly opened his eyes, which were supposed to be closed forever.

"Suzuka ......"

From the boy's dry lips, the name of his sister came out.

Suzuka was carried away by the surprise of her brother's resurrection and didn't notice anything unusual. But Haruha and Natsume saw it very clearly, the resurrected brother. There was not the slightest sparkle in his eyes that a living person should have.

It was—lifeless eyes like dead corpses.

"Brother-uh!!"

Suzuka was about to say something, but the boy's suddenly outstretched hands tightly grabbed her slender neck like white jade.

"Not enough...... It's not enough......"

The boy who raised his head stared at Suzuka with a hideous and terrifying expression.

Behind him, a pillar formed by the aura connected the sky.

"Want to come back to life...... That's not enough......"

The boy grabbed his sister's hand, getting tighter and tighter.

Suzuka's complexion had begun to turn blue.

"Brother...... Please...... Please wait a little longer...... Suzuka ...... Right away...... and gave his life...... Save my brother......"

was choked by the neck, and Suzuka's eyes showed a complicated look of incomprehension and sadness.

Why. Why did the brother who had always been soft as a spring breeze in his impression become like this......

It's just that, even so, I still have to save my brother......

"Not enough...... It's not enough......"

The boy didn't seem to hear Suzuka's voice, but kept repeating the words "not enough". The hand that was holding his sister's neck was getting tighter and tighter.

Suzuka's consciousness gradually passed.

"Of course it's not enough."

A cold, singular voice suddenly sounded.

"What!?"

Haruka and Natsume exclaimed in surprise and looked in the direction of the sound.

There, under the ancient tree, Yakumo Mo, who the two of them had been very familiar with since childhood and was sealed there, had opened his eyes at some point and was looking at everyone with a smile.

"Flowers, Flower Demons ......"

"Youkai Brother ......"

Suddenly, Natsume saw that the pillar of aura that connected the boy and the sky was actually constantly being absorbed by Yakumo Mo.

"Ah, thanks to this reckless little girl—"

Yakumo lowered his head and looked at the sharp arrow that still pierced his chest and nailed himself to the trunk of the tree with some distress.

"Otherwise, I want to wake up, and I don't know what year or month it will take."

Natsume and Haruto's hearts instantly sank to the bottom.

Now, the two who have grown up are no longer as innocent as they were when they were children.

They knew very well what this sealed youkai represented.

That's the monster that could fight the entire Yin-Yang Hall on its own!

Perhaps, the big monster recorded in the legendary ancient books is this strength, right?

Of course, the modern onmyoji, who have not seen the strength of the real big monster, do not know that Yakumo Mo's strength is still a long way from the real big monster.

If Yakumo was really a big monster, it would be impossible for him to be sealed by the Tuyumen clan back then.

"I mean, if you don't save that little human girl, she'll die......"

With a slight smile, Yakumo glanced at Suzuka, who was already unconscious.

“…… Well, after all, because of her, I was able to wake up early, and if I died like this, I would be very troubled. ”

"Ahh——!!!h

The spring tiger, which finally came to its senses, let out a tiger-like roar.

Perhaps stimulated by Yakumo's awakening, he actually stood up very magically with all his might—although at this time, the skin on Chunhu's body had been torn, and the whole person was like a pillar of blood.

"Spring Tiger! Hold one's breath!! ”

Hearing Natsume's voice, Chunhu hurriedly did as he was told.

"Burn, Evil Talisman! Haste as a law! ”

Natsume, who had also broken free of some of the restraints, threw the Fire Talisman of the Five Elements Talisman at the Spring Tiger.

The flames immediately engulfed Chunhu's body.

It's just that Chunhu is not injured, but full of strength.

Wielding his magic sword, the spring tiger strode towards the altar.

"Please! Cut it off!! ”

With a swing of his sword, Chunhu used all the strength of his body and slashed towards the pillar of aura. (To be continued......)
