It's a bit further from the beach.

There is not much area covered by street lights on Xiaogang Island, and it is dim here.

Kanoya and Tsurumi waited here for further instructions from Kamiya.

Late night beach, dead silence.

The moon high above was obscured by thick clouds, barely revealing a faint glow that turned the beach gray.

The waves crashed against the reef with a low, hollow sound, and in the silence and darkness, the slightest noise was particularly harsh. The sound of waves crashing against the reef reached my ears, like the whisper of some creature in the depths of the sea.

Shikanoya leaned down and first communicated with the little grandfather who was following her and Aoi.

Then I took out my phone again to check if the master had explained anything in the LINE group of the three of them.

"Master told us to look at the way He looked. Uh, so far away, how can we see. Kanoya put his phone away.

Looking ahead from where she was.

Broken shells could be seen scattered on the nearby sand, long washed away and still dull in the light of the bleak moonlight. A little farther away, a few abandoned fishing boats lay quietly on the beach, only the crumbling silhouettes of their hulls could be seen.

In the distance, there was the light of the night fishing lantern, and the backs of the master and the strange man.

At such a distance, of course, it is faint and faint, and it is completely unclear.

Tsurumi stood quietly beside the fawn with a sword and a waki, and in the dark, her tall and heroic figure was very able to give people a sense of security. Her pupils were constricting, looking sharp and deep: "Actually...... I can see it. ”

“…… Okay, okay. ”

"Senior sister, that man, is he still alive?"

"I don't know. But the aura on his body doesn't look like he's still 'alive'. Maybe he's already a part of the monster that's active here, so he's going to help the monster take a victim. ”

Kanoya and Tsurumi, who followed all the way, kept an eye on the situation of the master and the man.

Because the man kept pulling the master, squeezing his eyebrows and saying something like "let's have fun and be happy", which made the disciples slightly disgusted with the man.

But at the same time, they also knew very well in their hearts that the man was just a poor man who had been killed by the Aragami here.

Therefore, the Aragami on this side of Xiaogang Island must be retreated.

Otherwise, there will only be more and more similar victims.

The two apprentices continued to wait in the lurking place, when a cold wind blew, bringing up a burst of sand and brushing their cheeks, with a slight tingling sensation.

And in the wind that blew from nowhere, Luyeya smelled the salty, rancid, and obscene smell again.

This time, the smell was very strong.

Something is definitely on this stretch of sand.

It seems that Master's "fishing law enforcement" with his example as bait has been a great success.

Whoop –

The [Sacred Virtue Imperial Incense Burner] flipped out of the fawn's right hand, the copper chain flew up, and the heavy furnace body swung in an arc in the air, reflecting the moonlight slightly.

And the whitewashed Glock also appeared on her left hand.

"Aoi, we're going to get ready for battle."

"Hmm."

Master explained that it was an Aragami who was causing trouble on the Nemuro Peninsula.

And the protagonists of this training and practice are Kanoya and Tsurumi, both of whom have to participate directly in tonight's soul removal battle under the guardianship of the master.

……

Squeak - Squeak -

The fish floats up and down on the sea, and the fishing rod in Nakao's hand is pulled heavily and bent by some big guy.

This time, however, the fishing enthusiast did not rein in immediately.

He was still sitting, but his eyes were full of madness and obsession.

"Nakao, you seem to have caught some big guy, don't you mention it?" Kamiyagawa reminded him.

Nakao still didn't move, the corners of his mouth were high, and the two eyeballs in his eye sockets were separated to the maximum extent and squeezed to the corners of his eyes. Such a strange and distorted expression made his facial features lose their human contours, and became like a living fish with eyeballs on either side of his cheeks.

"Huh...... Hehehe......" He bent down heavily, his body trembling and laughing, first in a low voice, then in a high-pitched voice, "Kamiya-kun, have you ever heard the story of Taro Urashima?" ”

"Nope."

Kamiyagawa didn't pay attention to the changes in Nakao at all, and his condensed eyes always looked calmly at the sea.

He wanted to hurry up and see what the treasure of the sea looked like.

“…… Yes? ”

And this kind of "read and recalled" reply somewhat disrupted the rhythm of the conversation at the middle end.

When he was here with Ariga before, the conversation didn't develop like this.

Because he couldn't answer for a while, the pair of pupils squeezed into the corners of his eye sockets trembled slightly, but he still tried his best to round his words:

"You're going to see it soon! She's coming, the most beautiful, the most beautiful dragon girl. Thanks to her, I will be with her forever. That jolly feeling...... You will thank me, as long as you experience it again, you will know how dull and boring your previous life was, and you can only ...... with her and with her."

Kamiyagawa still didn't care too much about what Nakao said.

You can already see the huge waves rolling violently on the sea illuminated by the night fishing lights.

In the surging water, long black wet hair rolled out, fair and smooth skin, and tightly arranged, slightly shiny scales.

I saw a graceful, naked young girl rising from the sea.

Her upper body was indistinguishable from that of a human, plump and delicate female body that lasted all the way to the base of her thighs, delicate skin shimmering with a moist smooth water, and beneath that, a cylindrical tail with pitch-black scales.

"Lord Dragonmaiden! Lord Dragon Maiden, I have brought people here, let me go back to you, let me go back to you! I can't stand it for a moment, a moment! ”

Nakao excitedly fell off the fishing chair and crawled towards the banshee of the sea.

His face flushed, and his voice was interspersed with heavy gasps.

The murky waters covered his clothes, the bitter cold, but he didn't care, just almost frantically wanted to get closer to his goddess.

But he didn't climb a few steps before the middle tail was torn out.

The pull on the back collar is so strong that it is impossible to resist. was pulled like this, with a "poof", Nakao's head was slammed into the seawater, and after choking on two mouthfuls of seawater, he struggled again.

His hair was wet and sticking to his cheeks, and the moment he looked up from the sea again, his face was more than ten years old.

And the person who grabbed him was, of course, Kamiyagawa.

Under the bleak moonlight, Nakatail was like a big fish out of water, struggling and twisting his slippery body, but he couldn't break free no matter what, and in the end he could only roar hysterically and angrily: "Let go!" Let me go! Let me go back to her! ”

"Nakao, you're not Taro Urashima, and that thing isn't a dragon girl."

Kamiyagawa just said this, and then flicked his hand and flung Nakao towards the beach behind him.

Bang!

Nakao fell to the ground, but despite the pain in his body, he tried to struggle to get up.

At this moment, he saw an origami bird hovering overhead, followed by a faint red mist permeating his side.

In the mist, several grotesque humanoid doll figures were quickly outlined.

"Hee-hee~" "Haha~"

"Don't mess around!" "Don't bother Dad!"

The humanoids screamed and made a fuss, grabbing Nakao's limbs with all hands and feet.

Although the figures of those dolls are somewhat illusory, their strength and weight are amazing, and Nakao can't resist them at all.

In the midst of the chaos, Nakao struggled to keep his head up.

He saw that Kamiya-kun, who was the "prey", was still standing on the edge of the beach, and he seemed to be looking at the dragon girl.

Nakao didn't understand what was happening now.

Everything was not as expected.

But Kamiya-kun has already seen the dragon girl, hasn't he?

I don't know why, Nakao still believes that Kamiya-kun will get lost. No one could ignore the beauty and charm of the Dragon Maiden, so he quickly understood.

But what happened next was still different from what Nakao thought-

He saw Kamiya-kun's white shirt stirred by the sea breeze, and saw a golden long sword shining out of his hand.

The sword shone like a starry light on the beach at night.

His "friend" Kamiya-kun doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of accepting the love of the dragon girl.

Rather, it's the latter......

The "Dragon Lady" hovered over the sea with a huge tail, her long wet hair blown by the sea breeze, revealing her incomparably charming eyes.

But the way she looked at Kamiya-kun's eyes, it seemed a little ...... An unusual obsession?

Why is this happening?

"Nope! No! Dragon Lady! ”

Nakao screamed, but he soon couldn't see what was going on on the other side of the beach.

Because the dolls who held him down, Red Spirit, laughed and laughed, and began to drag him further back......

……

[Strange Tale Name: Wet Girl, Cow Ghost (Alien)]

[Classification: B]

[Status: Visiting]

Kamiyagawa can see at a glance the true body of Aragami in the sea.

This thing isn't a dragon girl at all.

If you want to talk about the dragon girl, the Isohime of the Kamiya family is.

Although Isohime was polluted by the red tide of the sea country, so she fell in the direction of the ocean banshee, but she is a serious statue of the sea goddess. Her mother, the former queen of the Sea Kingdom, is also an orthodox Jiaoji bloodline.

Therefore, Isohime's body originally flowed with noble blood. And gradually remove the pollution from her body, and after being promoted to Aragami, she has slowly recovered to the state of the dragon girl "Otohime".

And the Aragami in the sea in front of her, she can't be compared with her own Isohime at all, and she is like a cloud.

It's just pure evil banshee of the sea.

This banshee is a wet girl.

A banshee of the sea that exists in traditional weird tales.

It is generally believed that the ghost of a woman who drowned in the sea was transformed, and the lower body is in the shape of a super long snake tail, which is said to be more than 100 meters long, and the upper body is a woman's image, with long hair and wet all over the body.

It is said that the wet girl usually sits on the rocks by the sea, revealing only the upper part of her body, and combing her long hair that flutters in the wind charmingly.

If a man is fascinated by her beauty and approaches her and accostes her, she will quickly throw out the tail of the snake hidden underwater, wrap it around the target, and then reveal her hideous nature, crack open her mouth, let out a scream that almost punctures her eardrums, and spit out a forked tongue like a snake letter, sucking the blood of her victim.

It's such a terrifying and ferocious banshee.

In the old days, in areas where the legend of the wet maiden was circulated, coastal fishermen would never go out to sea on the night of the Bon festival in order not to encounter such a terrifying banshee.

The Maiden itself relies on lust to attract victims, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the embodiment of lust, so it is no wonder that you can gain the power of faith in the Hime-no-Ho Shrine.

Rushing!

The sea water was stirred by the long tail of the wet maiden, and it swelled violently.

With his extraordinary eyesight, Kamiyagawa could keenly judge that the end of this huge tail of the Maiden was not in the sea at all.

It seems to be lurking under the sand, all the way to the back of the beach.

Close to the location of the two of them, Fawn and Tsurumi.

Thundered!

Behind the beach, a dark figure broke through the ground, black and pressed across the soft, damp sand.

Out of the sand was a monster that looked like several creatures had been stitched together.

The head resembles that of an ox, with a pair of giant horns, and in front of it a pair of large claws that resemble arthropods. The torso resembles an octopus, swirling with slippery, sucker tentacles.

Sarcomas like human faces could be seen bulging, screeching and screaming on the torso of the monster behind them.

It was supposed to be a youkai called a cow ghost.

It is also a vicious cannibal tale that is commonly portrayed as a giant monster with the head of a bull and the body of a spider or octopus.

Among the corresponding folk weird stories, the wet girl and the cow ghost are rare, obviously different species, but they will join forces and cooperate to hunt human monsters.

Normally, it is the female who seduces the human male in front of her, and then the cow ghost kills the victim and divides the food.

Legend has it that if a person who meets a wet girl still has the reason to escape, the cow ghosts lurking around will immediately block his way, and then the two youkai will say in the same voice, "What a pity! What a pity! ”

With a bad taste of "hunters" teasing "prey".

And the slaanese aragarin on Xiaogang Island is not as simple as a combination of wet girls and cow ghosts.

They seem to be connected by a long snake tail, and they are two sides of the same coin.

Moreover, according to Kamiyagawa's judgment, the cow ghost should have been transformed by the victim who was sucked by the essence blood of the wet girl.

The true body of the monster has been revealed, no matter how special and weird it looks, but the sum of the head and tail is just the strength of the Aragami.

Moreover, Kamiya was not deceived by the charm of the wet girl at this time.

is also the lord of the world with full charm value, and the love and admiration he receives are one of the sources of his strength.

Kamiyagawa is no longer the hairy boy who was at the beginning, and will be forcibly controlled by the beautiful girl for a period of time.

On the contrary, it was the wet girl, after emerging from the seawater, she looked at Kamiya and was stunned for two or three seconds before finally regaining her senses.

"Hiss——!"

The banshee's red lips cracked open, the corners of her mouth reached the base of her ears, and she spat out a snake hyacinth and roared in anger.

For the time being, she couldn't tell what kind of opponent the fool who had been released to attract prey this time had brought back.

But strike first!

The wet girl quickly made a judgment, and planned to surround the cow ghost at the tail and quickly strangle Kamiya!

However, the cow ghost in the rear did not move.

Even, in the next second, the wet girl felt a sharp pain coming from her tail.

Bang bang bang!

Glock's roar resounded in the night, and it was very clear.

"Send the wolf!" "Red deer!" "Yamiko!"

Seeing the situation, Kanoya has quickly emptied the magazine, summoned the Shikigami, and together with Tsurumi Aoi, who is armed with two swords, has launched an attack on the cow ghost!

The sparkling light of the incense burner blended with the crimson and white light of the two knives.

Kamiyagawa calmly paid attention to the movements of the apprentices, cut the boy in his hand, and then continued to maintain a calm smile, looking at the wet girl coiled on the high place: "Heh, what a pity." ”

The maiden felt an indescribable sense of oppression, and it was then that the banshee finally realized that she was not a "hunter" in this hunt tonight.

He said it was all my words.
