Mad Bones seemed to have thought of something, and took out the skull and the green snake inside from behind his back.
"I have Xiaobai and Xiaoqing with me, I won't be lonely!!"
The little girl emphasized again.
But such emphasis only silenced everyone.
As the snow woman watched this scene, she seemed to recall her past and murmured:
"Lord Aoba, little Kyokotsu might hate humans~"
I hate humans?
Aoba paused, seemingly not having considered this point.
"Well, isn't it only natural that humans would hate you as a monster? The shrine maiden over there has a lot to say about that."
As Yuki-onna spoke, she turned her gaze to Miyamizu Mitsuha in the corner.
moment!
Four or five pairs of eyes turned towards us.
Mitsuha, who had originally hoped to hide in a crack in the ground, froze instantly when she felt the gaze directed at her.
Even the smile on his face looked very stiff.
"Um... actually, this is my first time seeing a yokai either, so I don't really know."
Mitsuha's stiff answer didn't seem like a lie at all.
"Heh~ So how did you get to Tokyo? That powerful spiritual energy isn't fake."
The snow woman casually raised her hand, and a snowflake instantly flew towards Mitsuha.
However, just as it was about to encounter Mitsuha, it was blocked by a power that shone with a certain radiance.
"Spiritual power?"
Seeing this, Aoba was also quite curious.
Could this seemingly reserved girl really be a shrine maiden?
"There are monsters and humans in it, there are good people and bad people, and there are good monsters and bad monsters."
After listening to all this, Hiratsuka Shizuka rubbed her hair impatiently.
"So if Kyokotsu wants to go to school in the future, he should come to Toyosaki Academy. I will discuss it with the principal."
"Eh?!"
This time, Liu Qiyi was surprised to see Kasumigaoka die.
"Ms. Hiratsuka, are you and the principal so close?!"
"Of course she's my mom, how could we not get along?"
"So it was someone with connections!"
The girl's sharp tongue remained consistently sharp.
"The schooling problem is easy to solve, the key is..."
Aoba looked at Kyokotsu, who was still stubbornly staring at him, and smiled helplessly.
"Let's not use it for now."
He thought that as a member of the Hundred Demons Group, he had already been recognized by these demons.
If, after the server merge, they are still confined to remote corners, wouldn't that be a dereliction of duty on his part as the commander-in-chief?
And this is only Kyokotsu's aversion to humans.
Other monsters might harbor even greater hatred towards humans.
"Can we skip the Kyokotsu trip?"
Seeing Aoba shake his head, Kyokotsu was overjoyed.
"Hmm... I just don't need to go for now."
Aoba smiled and stood up, patting Kuanggu's little head.
"I was thinking that it might be better if Kyokotsu himself wanted to go to school."
"Thank you, Lord Aoba!!"
Kyokotsu didn't understand what Aoba meant, but as long as he didn't have to go to school, that was fine.
"To make Kyokotsu actively contact humans?"
The snow woman stood to the side, her blue eyes filled with a serious expression.
"Lord Aoba, this is not a simple matter."
"It's not easy; does that mean it's challenging?"
Qingye waved his hand and smiled.
He turned back to the kitchen door curtain, looked at the moonlight outside, and said:
"Putting the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons at Night all the time is too quiet..."
His voice was like a quiet murmur under the moonlight, yet it carried a strong conviction, as if all listeners could feel the determination in his words.
"Perhaps things would be different if the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons were held during the day as a grand and magnificent carnival?"
The divide between humans and monsters cannot be changed in a short time.
But perhaps...
Aoba wondered if one day she might have the power to change all of this?
Will that day ever come?
"I think...it probably will."
Chapter 86 Kasumigaoka: So... you're actually my senior!?
"Ara~"
"That's a truly remarkable statement!"
After Aoba finished speaking, everyone except for Kyokotsu and Kogusa, who were still quite immature, was very surprised.
Unparalleled respect immediately appeared in the Snow Woman's eyes.
As the Snow Woman, whose power is only slightly inferior to that of the Maiden Demon in the Hundred Demons Group, she seems to have accepted this commander-in-chief whom she has never met before.
"So.."
"The Hundred Demons Group, the Snow Village Demons, Yukino Fuyuki offers my loyalty to the Supreme Commander."
The moment Aoba turned his head.
Yukino Fuyutsu bowed in the direction of Aoba, with seemingly pure white snowflakes falling behind her.
One of the snowflakes, seemingly crafted by nature's own hand, drifted down in front of the green leaves.
He paused for a moment.
He then reached out and accepted the snowflake that represented the Snow Woman's loyalty.
In an instant.
A strong gust of cold wind suddenly burst forth from Qingye's body.
However, the cold wind only carried a slight chill, and when it blew onto everyone in the store, it only brought a slight feeling of coldness.
"Such powerful Nen..."
Miyamizu Mitsuha, who was staring blankly at this scene from the corner, seemed to remember something her grandmother had said a long time ago.
The difference between humans and yokai lies in their understanding of Nen.
Some powerful human Onmyoji or shrine maidens possess immense Nen (spirit/energy) and are able to cultivate using it, transforming it into spiritual power.
Among them, there is a very special group of people.
They themselves do not possess the conditions for cultivating spiritual power, but they are equally burdened with exceptionally strong thoughts.
This power grants them special abilities that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
If such a person encounters a shrine maiden or an Onmyoji and receives excellent instruction, they will become a very famous shrine maiden or a great Onmyoji.
But what if you encounter a monster...?
That could very well turn him into a great monster that is an enemy of the world!
The shopkeeper standing before me is clearly human, yet he has accepted the fear of yokai. Could it be that he's about to transform into a great yokai?!
The girl stared intently at the scene.
She's just an incompetent shrine maiden, why did she have to encounter something like this?!
Mitsuha's heart was filled with helplessness and tension.
What should she do if the shop manager turns into a monster?!
Such a handsome Tokyo guy, could it be that her hopes were dashed during her first trip to Tokyo?!
This scene lasted only two seconds.
The cold wind instantly vanished the millet grains.
Aoba herself didn't feel much.
"Eh!?"
"Lord Aoba was actually able to completely accept the Snow Woman's fear?!"
Kyokotsu, lying on the bar counter, stared with his two adorable eyes, full of curiosity.
This situation is exactly the same as that of the Nurarihyon from before.
Bearing all the fear of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons that she leads, she becomes another lord of demons and monsters after her older sister.
