My grandfather was not a psychic cultivator after all, and the unconscious emanation of the curse power from the bloodline could only affect those closest to him, and would not bring disaster to the entire village.

There are no village rules in the village such as 'you must not go out after X o'clock at night', 'you must sacrifice a young girl to God X every year', 'X is a forbidden place that all villagers cannot enter', and there are no legends such as 'there was a strange murder incident in X', 'there was a hidden incident in X', and 'every X year there will be a monster going down the mountain to kill people'.

There are curses and evil spirits in places where people live, and there are these things in the village, but they are much less numerous and less powerful than in Tokyo.

At the shrine on the mountain, there are two shrine maidens and grandmothers who are dog demons (dog gods) and are very friendly to the villagers on weekdays; There is a cat demon (cat again) family in the village, which is already an old resident; The cow raised by the village chief is also a monster, and it doesn't seem to know how to shapeshift, and its habits are similar to ordinary cows, so it is estimated that the village chief's family is not aware of it at all.

The children in the village were somewhat repulsive to the children from Tokyo, but after hearing Lyle introduce his family situation and past experiences, the sense of superiority exploded in an instant, and the rejection naturally disappeared, and he soon took him up the mountain and down the river to play.

- It is a safe village, with few tragic accidents and troublesome disputes, and it is suitable for a peaceful life.

"Grandpa, I'm back~" After school, I followed my friend to the village grocery store to buy a popsicle, and then folded a green slender reed pole on the edge of the small river that flowed through the village, and played with each other until dusk before returning home.

My grandfather was a withdrawn old man with a straight face all day long, but in essence, he was an elder who treated his grandson well, and every time he saw Lyle's test results, he would give pocket money to encourage him, and he had long lost his oppressive power.

My grandfather glanced at the clock and saw that it was about the same time as he usually came back, so he didn't say anything. There are no computers, no game consoles, no internet cables, no smartphones, no toys at home, and it's normal for children to like to spend time outside.

Get up and go to the kitchen to take out the prepared meal, and say, "Throw the reed pole into the yard, and remember to wash your hands." ”

"This is my holy sword, don't throw it away." Lyle, who had thought of taking it back to the bedroom to practice 'swordsmanship' at night, muttered, obediently walked out of the small courtyard, and placed the reed pole against the wall.

When he put down his schoolbag and washed his hands and returned to the living room, his grandfather had already set the dishes and chopsticks, although the dishes were simple, but there was meat, vegetables and miso soup, which was much better than when Lyle lived with his parents.

As soon as he was sitting down on the tatami mats, Lyle immediately noticed a few old books in the corner of the dining table: "Huh? Grandpa, what kind of book is that? ”

"I'll talk about it after eating." My grandfather said.

"Oh...... I'm going to go. Lyle could only suppress his curiosity and pick up the dishes and chopsticks to eat, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the ancient books, trying to read the words on the cover of the top ancient book, but he couldn't see it clearly because of the angle.

“…… Never mind. Seeing his grandson's small action, his grandfather sighed secretly, put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV playing the news.

“！” Lyle, who knew that he was about to get down to business, quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, straightened his waist, and put his hands on his knees.

Perhaps because my mother took the wrong path, my grandfather's requirements for etiquette and attitude were almost strict, and he couldn't show a trace of carelessness when talking about business.

Grandfather carefully picked up the ancient book, handed it to Lyle with both hands, and commanded in a deep voice: "Take it carefully, these spell books are the heirlooms of my grandfather and my family...... I'll leave it to you. ”

It was supposed to be given to Lyle's mother, but with her moral level, it is estimated that she will take it to the auction house for money when she turns her head, and it is better to give it to Lyle, a little child, hoping that he will not forget this when he grows up.

"Spell book!" Lyle hurriedly took the ancient book and eagerly opened it.

My grandfather sighed secretly, even if he didn't remember it for a long time, but he must have had the same excited reaction back then, but unfortunately he didn't have that talent: "Remember, even if you can't understand it, you have to pass it down, and you can't sell them." ”

"Grandpa......" Lyle groaned slightly, made some kind of decision in his heart, put down the ancient book, raised the palm of his left hand, and said softly, "I should be able to understand, after all-"

Flames condensed from the palms of the hands.

"What!?" Shocked, my grandfather slapped the table hard and glared at the flames.

With a grasp of his left hand, the flames disappeared, and he said with a dry smile: "I seem to have been born with the ability to see resentful spirits and monsters, and I can use some magic." ”

Without telling the whole truth, Lyle remembered a complete magic system, and this sentence would make people think that it was just a rude gathering of spiritual power.

"Why didn't you say it before!" My grandfather said angrily.

"I told my parents when I was a kid...... As a result, he was slapped by his father and severely warned by his mother. Lyle said with a crunch.

At that time, he realized that if he wanted to survive in this society, he couldn't be an outlier, just shut his mouth and don't see it, anyway, weak resentful spirits and curses won't harm people's lives, and he doesn't need to jump out to help.

By the way, his father's slap also made him realize the importance of strength, and without power, there is no right to speak, so he would secretly practice magic every night, quiet magic practiced in the bedroom, and the quiet magic ran to the deep mountains and mountains.

Fortunately, this world is full of curses and evil spirits, only small props that are provided to ordinary people within a range of a few meters to sense abilities, and there is no 'ability radar' with a large range of precise positioning, Lyle's magic cultivation has not been detected by the dog gods and cats in the village, otherwise it may be nipped in the bud by some bad old men as soon as it is reported...... For them, the ultimate genius, there are already too many imps in the Gojo family.

"That unfilial girl!" My grandfather had shown his daughter these family heirlooms, and he was so angry that his daughter didn't tell him about his grandson's talents, so it took a long time to calm down his anger and say, "...... Your mother is right, she can't tell outsiders that you have psychic powers, but—"

"—I eliminated the evil spirits and curses in the house on the first night after I moved here, and I found an opportunity to treat your grandfather's body in the first week." Blind guessing that the second half of the sentence will be 'Grandpa, I am not an outsider', Lyle hurriedly said, with a strong desire to survive.

"No wonder my body hasn't deteriorated in the past few years, it turns out that the foundation of the ...... has been broken and I can't live back into an ordinary old man, but Lyle's arrival can still allow him to live for a few more years, and the changes in his body have softened his eyes a lot.

Unlike his daughter, his grandson is much more filial.

However, his softness only lasted for three seconds, and he quickly thought of something, and his eyes froze: "Hurry up and eat, and then go upstairs to do your homework, from today onwards, I will supervise you to read the spell book every night." ”

"Don't~! I'll be very self-conscious! Lyle wailed.
