Chapter 141: I Caught a Magical Monster! (Part 2)
When the concert was over and it was already eleven thirty minutes after packing up, Kiryu took a supper oden with satisfaction, and after rejecting the invitation of the monk Hosheng, he returned to his room.
They booked a holiday inn, which was renovated from an old house in the late Edo period, and the soundproofing conditions were not very good, but the room was very spacious.
It is said that there are hot springs, but no one goes to soak in the hot summer.
Instead, when he left, he invited Kiryu to go to the pool with him tomorrow, and it is said that there is a huge pool nearby, and you can swim in it for free, which can relieve the heat.
Kiryu had no interest in this.
"I'll be back in about two or three days, why don't you take this opportunity to wander around?"
He's not a member of the band, so his actions are completely unrestricted.
Kiryu is very concerned about the so-called "cursed witch", so if he has the opportunity, he would like to find out the roots.
After a late-night snack, Kiryu lay down on the tatami mat and fell asleep slowly.
"Boom!"
"Thunder?" Kiryu opened his eyes suddenly.
The room was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
His throat was slightly dry, and Kiryu swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, ready to get up to find saliva to drink.
Outside the paper sliding door, a strong light suddenly flashed.
A muscular body measuring two meters and two stands behind the paper sliding door.
"Outsiders dare to be disrespectful to the gods!"
The voice is inaudible to men and women, it tends to be neutral, and there is a strong anger in the voice.
Folklorist has been activated.
"What's that?"
Kiryu raised his hand, and the talisman appeared in his hand.
"Boom!"
The sound like a thunderclap came again, and the tall figure standing outside the paper door stretched out a pair of wings, and the shadow of the wings almost covered all the light behind it!
It seems to be a very scary, huge monster, somewhat like the great tengu in the legend of Japanese monsters.
But one thing Kiryu is first-class is very strange, although the sound effect in front of him is there, and the oppression of the shadow is also sufficient, but the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of rushing in to punish this "blasphemous" guy.
"Are you going to scare me to death?"
Kiryu pinched the talisman and carefully opened the door.
What stunned him was that there was no so-called big monster outside the door, there was a flashlight on the ground, and in front of the flashlight there was a birdman with wings and about 25 cm tall.
The shadow cast on Kiryu's first-class door is also this birdman.
"Oh?"
The birdman did not run away after being discovered by Kiryu first-class, but flapped his wings and flew up with a sneer: "Have you resisted the demonic aura of this big youkai?" Looks like you're still a little bit capable! β
ββ¦β¦β
Kiryu walked over and grabbed the birdman flying in the air with one hand, and attached the inactive talisman to the opponent.
"Ahh Spare your life, it's terrible, spare your life! β
Kiryu couldn't help but complain: "...... It's so weak. β
Simply, weaker than the average ghost.
He picked up the flashlight on the ground, pinched the birdman and returned to the room, the unactivated exorcism charm does have a certain deterrent effect, and it can also ward off evil spirits, but if you want to talk about lethality...... Hardly lethal.
"Please forgive me for my offense! Powerful Onmyoji-sama! After being placed on the floor by Kiryu, the birdman immediately knelt on the ground.
"Are you, what?" Kiryu asked, bowing his head.
"It's a raven!" The birdman replied respectfully.
He looked closely at each other, and found that the birdman did look like a human, but the whole body was covered with feathers, a bird's head, limbs, and wings on the back.
He was wearing only a thin "Yamabushi", with a fan and a scepter around his waist.
It bears a bit of a resemblance to the legendary Raven Tengu.
"But you're too young!" Kiryu said all the way.
"Because...... For some special reason," Raven Tengu said, "I'm already one of the strongest youkai in this world. β
"......" Kiryu first-class doesn't know where it got its self-confidence, and even says that he is one of the strongest.
Just during this period of time, there are a lot of terrible strange stories with the ability to ask for life.
Kiryu returns to the point and asks, "Why did you attack me?" β
Raven Tengu lay on the ground and didn't dare to look up: "Yes, I'm very sorry, Onmyoji-sama!" I used to live in a shrine tree, but because the state demolished it, the shrine was demolished, and the tree was cut down, so I moved here by trekking through mountains and rivers, but ...... I'm a monster, and I need someone to worship and remember, otherwise my strength will get weaker and weaker. β
Kiryu nodded suddenly: "So you're eyeing me and Satoko?" β
"I'm really sorry!" Crowtengu lay on his stomach and said: "Because people from outside the city are very superstitious, they seem to be full of science, but they secretly believe in superstition and bad luck, and they are very easy to deceive...... Ah, I'm not saying you're stupid, I'm just talking about the city folks outside of you. β
"That's right" Kiryu nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not angry." β
It is the rich people who go to the temple to worship the most, and ordinary people will not waste time worshipping the Buddha and praying to the gods because they have to work, even if they finally have a day off, let alone pay a lot of money for worship.
Ordinary people, at most, buy a stick of incense, or donate a little change.
Kiryu's first-class thoughts suddenly crooked: "Why do you want to gild the Buddha's body, because people like gold, why donate money to the gods?" Because people love money. β
He shook his head, pulling his thoughts back.
"You are a powerful Onmyoji, please let me serve you!" Raven Tengu knelt on his knees and pleaded.
"Hmmm......"
Kiryu hesitated, the combat power of this crow tengu is estimated to be unable to deal with even a wild cat.
But after all, it was the first youkai he encountered in the main world, and if he stayed by his side, he could also act as an "activator", activating the [Folklore Scholar] at any time to help Kiryu improve his attributes.
"What can you do?"
"With the yard I guard, it will be very happy."
"You don't sound like a tengu." Kiryu asked again, "What do you usually eat?" β
"I can find the bugs myself, and if you have a meal, I can enjoy it."
ββ¦β¦ You're a bird monster, aren't you? β
Kiryu first-class with an expression that saw through the disguise.
"What's your name?"
"Black Feather!"
"What about gender?"
"Female...... But I haven't hatched eggs yet! Kuroba replied.
I haven't heard of a crow tengu who wants to hatch eggs, but Kiryu has already decided in his heart that this guy is definitely a youkai turned into a bird.
Harpies with misconceptions of their own species?
"Well, then, let's take you for now," Kiryu said, "but from today onwards, you can't curse anyone else." β
"Please rest assured, Childe!" Black Feather surprise.

"It's getting late, so Black Feather won't disturb your rest, Childe"
The 25-centimeter birdman transforms into a blackbird of unknown breed, flapps its wings and leaves the room.
Kiryu, who easily subdued a "big monster", lay down to sleep with a yawn.
It's going to be a while before dawn, but I'm resting and being disturbed, and I may not be in a good state of mind tomorrow.
