The title of ghostwriter is a special existence among youkai.

It can help youkai get close to humans, and it can also make youkai disappear into the world completely. The good youkai will become very kind when they hear that I am a ghostwriter, and the evil youkai will increase their awe to some extent when they hear this title.

In Demon Slayer, the ghostwriter also seems to be a pass.

Can see through the mind of the monster.,Have a paper spirit that controls the monster.。 Powerful demon slayers know that you are a ghostwriter, and will often find ways to pull in a relationship with you, so as to use your power to increase their own prestige, ordinary demon slayers will not embarrass you, and all human activities related to youkai will open the door to ghostwriters.

And such a powerful-sounding existence fell on a stupid and cowardly person like me.

A few years ago, I could never have imagined that I even rejected this identity when I knew what the existence of ghostwriters really was, but now, I can only accept this identity, and I have gradually liked it.

Being able to communicate with monsters,Insight into their past,Know their hearts,Fulfill their wishes,This kind of life is actually not bad.,Except for the occasional thing to get entangled in the demon removal.,Or encounter terrible monsters.,Most of the time it's still satisfying.。

But why, after listening to my words "I am a ghostwriter", my father suddenly aged a few years?

"When I first found out that I was a ghostwriter, I didn't really get used to it, but now I'm used to it," his appearance actually made me feel at a loss, and I tried to make myself more relaxed, "Most of the monsters are quite friendly, and it's still good to have a few demon killers, so.."

My father kept looking at me, and I couldn't say a word with that sad look.

"When did you find out you were a ghostwriter. It was a long time before my father asked, "Someone told you anyway." ”

"In the beginning, I just wrote letters for youkai. I recalled, "After a long time, the monsters called me that, and I thought it was just referring to the fact that I was writing letters for them, but then I kept meeting monsters and demon killers, and I realized that ghostwriting is not so simple in the literal sense." ”

"Isn't that cat your contract monster?" asked the father, pointing at Tsubaki.

"Of course not... She just happened to live in the store. I said, "But when it comes to contract monsters, there are a few, but I've never summoned them." ”

"The ghostwriter can unilaterally decide the contract," said the father, "but you can only have this ability after you have been to that place, and you..."

I nodded, "I've been there in the time gap." ”

The father covered his head, "I was even worried that you went to the gap in time as a demon slayer, so you have the ability to see the figure of the monster in the photo, but I didn't expect what you did to be so dangerous..."

"I've always wanted to ask, what does the time gap have to do with the figure of the youkai in that photo?"

"In order to prevent other people with demonic power from seeing the monster in the photo, your mother used to add a seal to the photo with her own power, and only the sealer himself can see it," said his father, looking at the table, "You who have inherited demonic power also have the ability to see the things inside the seal, but only if you have become a demon slayer and can only open this ability after passing an exclusive trial in the time gap." ”

"What is the trial of the Demon Slayer in the Time Gap?" I asked, "Have you and Mother been to the Time Gap?"

"Well, we've all been. Father's tone was finally not as sad as just now, "Everyone's trial is different, after passing that trial, you will have your most powerful weapon, or assistant, and at the same time, you will also unlock the power of the original blockade, which can be understood as entering a higher level." ”

"Weapon...", then my weapon is a paper spirit.

"For most demon slayers, weapons are actually partners, i.e., contract monsters. Father said, "Each demon slayer can have a lot of contract monsters, but the monster that has been tried together can only choose one, this chosen monster will grow with you, and it is also the most powerful of your many contract monsters, but I have also heard that some of the weapons obtained by demon slayers are other things, and ghostwriters, according to legend, will get two weapons in the time gap." ”

It seems that my father didn't know that my mother had left me a fountain pen...

"They are the pen of the call and the spirit of the paper," said the father, "and these two things can only be used in the hands of the ghostwriter." ”

"I've only gotten one thing in the gap in time," I said, "a youkai with a paper spirit name." ”

"The paper spirit turned out to be a youkai?"

"Before it met me, it was a youkai, and once I took it out of the gap in time, it went into eternal sleep. ”

"I see," the father looked thoughtful, "what about the summoning pen? you can see the figure of the youkai in the photo, which means that you should have turned on the power of the blockade." ”

"About the Calling Pen," I pulled out the pen I never left my hand, "maybe you know more than I do." ”

An ordinary fountain pen that can no longer be ordinary is placed on the table, perhaps because it is old, or because I use it too often, the pen looks a little old.

His father's eyes were staring straight at the pen on the table, his mouth opening and closing, he knew that the pen came from his mother.

"The fountain pen that my mother left me is the pen of calling. I said slowly.

"Impossible," my father closed his eyes and shook his head, not knowing if it was because he was disturbed by the sight of things and people, or because he didn't expect me to take out the pen, "It must not be." ”

"I don't want to believe it, but this pen was really left to me by my mother, so I always thought that my mother was the ghostwriter. I said, "But you told me that you and your mother are demon slayers." ”

"We are all demon slayers, there's no doubt about that. My father kept shaking his head.

"When I first became a ghostwriter, it was because this pen could automatically convert the text of youkai and humans, so that youkai came to me to write letters to humans," I said, "and gradually I discovered that the ability of this pen is not only that, but it can cooperate with the paper spirit to unilaterally sign a contract with the youkai." ”

"You, are you sure this is the pen of calling?" the father still didn't want to believe it, "have you ever used it other than to write letters?

I nodded, "Summoning, contracting, controlling, I've tried." "I kept the paper spirit space and the things of no man's land.

My father was silent for a long time, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

"Did Mother mention anything before?" I asked, "about the origin of this pen or something." ”

"She probably doesn't know where this pen came from," said her father in a low voice, "and this pen is a gift from me to your mother." ”
