"Ibaraki-douji?"
"Yes, sir, the little demon is Ibaraki Doji." The demon nodded, but its hideous eyes kept staring at the severed hand on the ground.
But it didn't dare to move.
Ibaraki Doji has a great reputation. As a legendary monster, his greatest achievement was to cut off an arm, thus creating a famous sword, Onikiri.
Thinking of this, Kiryu Yiichi immediately looked at the "Lion King: Red Lotus" in his hand.
["The Lion King·Ranguren·Onikiri", controls the sword of the monster Nue, cuts off the arm of Ibaraki Doji, the ghost of Rashomon, and is named "Onikiri", body +100, skill: Onikiri]
[Onikiri: Can use the arms and power of Ibaraki Doji, the ghost of Rashomon]
Under the puzzled gaze of Ibaraki Doji, Kiryu Yiyi raised the demon sword "The Lion King, Ranguren, Onikiri". The blade twisted, and a ghost claw burning with demon fire grasped the blade.
Qiang, sheath the sword.
The severed arm of Ibaraki Doji in the distance also turned into fly ash.
Ibaraki Doji looked at Kiryu Ichimei with a resentful look, maybe he wanted to blame him for taking away his power, but on the surface he didn't dare to say so.
"Change back, this look is a bit scary," Kiryu Yiichi ordered.
If Ibaraki-douji hadn't eaten Momotaro's rice balls and turned into his own demon, he might not have had the opportunity to stand here and look at him with resentful eyes.
"yes"
Ibaraki Douji once again transformed into a very beautiful woman, and maintained a one-armed posture.
Ibaraki, who re-entered Heian-kyo with Kiryu Yiyi, said: "The ghost just now came from Oeyama. We are the subordinates of Shuten Doji, the king of ghosts. We came to the city today to catch some people to fill our stomachs."
"Shuten Doji?"
Unlike Ibaraki-dōji, Shuten-dōji is a truly top-notch yōkai, and is known as one of the three major yōkai in Japan.
Majestic, of course, his greatest contribution is to use his own head to create another sword "Doji Kiri Yasutsuna".
Kiryu Yishi would not underestimate the opponent's status as a big monster, otherwise he would really want to add the title of "Doujiri" to one of his swords.
Kiryu Yiyi, who was followed by a woman with a broken arm, walked on Suzaku Avenue for a while before entering a hotel.
In front of the counter at the entrance, he took out a golden bean and threw it on the plate. He was immediately sent to the hotel with a cheerful smile by the store owner.
The houses of the Heian Kyo period should have been influenced by the Tang Dynasty at the same time, and the overall style also gave Kiryu a sense of "familiarity".
Walking further inside, a strong scent of gunshot rouge hit my face.
Kiryu Yiyi suddenly realized that he must have entered the wrong place. This hotel was not just a hotel for sleeping, but a hotel for sleeping!
There were many young women in the room.
They all apply thick powder on their necks and arms.
He shaved off his eyebrows, dyed his teeth black, and showed a "shocking" smile after seeing Kiryu's first class.
Like a product waiting to be selected, he looked at Kiryu Yishi with burning eyes.
"Brow-drawing" is indeed a makeup technique used by women in the Tang Dynasty, and it was introduced to Japan very quickly. However, something went wrong when it became popular, and the trend of fashion changed.
As a result, Japanese women chose to shave their eyebrows and add two high-profile black dots on their brows to match the black teeth, making them look like monsters.
Although this situation has been mentioned in places such as Unofficial History, there are not many people who really dress like this in the real world. Modern people have normal aesthetics, and Kiryu has never seen it with his own eyes.
The Heiankyo period he arrived at happened to be a time when Japan was heavily influenced by the Tang Dynasty, so he was very "lucky" to meet Japanese "beauties" who learned the makeup skills of women from the Tang Dynasty.
When these "beauties" saw Ibaraki Doji following Kiryu Yiichi, they all closed their mouths and hid their black teeth.
Although Ibaraki Doji has no makeup, his appearance is top-notch.
I have never heard of anyone bringing their family members to a store like this, so the business must be gone.
Without money, there is no enthusiasm.
Seeing them shut up, Kiryu Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned his head away to avoid being shocked again and having nightmares tonight.
However, his move was obviously misunderstood.
The powerful physical attributes allow Kiryu Ichiru to hear the whispers of women.
"If that woman hadn't gotten there first, that handsome young man would have been mine."
"How dare you be sure that the young master is yours?"
"The young master turned his head in panic just now. He clearly didn't dare to look at me. He was shy."
"The last thing the young master just glanced at was me!"
"It's me!"
Kiryu's body stiffened.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was very wise to have a woman by his side as a shield. Otherwise, he imagined that the next few women with no eyebrows, thick powder, and black teeth would surround him, and he shuddered subconsciously. Feeling unwell.
As I continued walking inside, the sounds from behind slowly disappeared.
When the store owner saw Kiryu Ichizu turning his head left and right after entering the store, he said to Kiryu Ichizu with a "don't worry" look in his eyes: "Our walls here are made of stone mixed with wood. There is absolutely no sound from outside. You can Feel free to rest.”
"Uh-huh~" A woman's voice happened to come from the next room.
The movements of the two and one ghost froze.
"This... this..." The store owner was a little embarrassed: "The customer didn't close the doors and windows, and there was a sound."
A woman's shy voice also came from the next room: "I seem to hear a sound outside, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, even if they heard it they wouldn't know that I am a minister."
"..."
"Lead the way to our room." Kiryu Yiyi said, breaking the quiet and strange atmosphere of the scene.
"Yes!" The store owner nodded quickly and led the way.
Opening the door, there is a relatively narrow room with only one bed.
The shop owner turned around and left, closing the door.
Kiryu Yiyi was sitting on the bed, and he could still hear the "woman's screams of pain" outside, but he was not the kind of person with a righteous heart, so he chose to ignore it and let the poor woman continue to suffer.
"Does it matter if you don't go back to Shuten-douji?" Kiryu asked.
He didn't want to mess with that big monster just yet.
Ibaraki Doji shook his head: "Drinking and women are his favorites. He doesn't care about other things...such as our life and death."
"It's quite ruthless," Kiryu said first-rately: "But don't worry, I am a person who values love and justice!"
As long as he had the chance, he wouldn't mind saying a few more words and taking the opportunity to step on Ibaraki Doji's "former boss" to make him feel closer to him.
This is the first time Momotaro Rice Ball has been used against a ghost. It is unclear how effective it is and how long it lasts.
Taking off his sneakers, Kiryu lay on the bed and looked at the wooden roof: "The woman in need of help is obviously not Ibaraki Doji, who is it?"
He had no sympathy for her, nor did he want to give up his bed to Ibaraki Douji.
Ibaraki Doji, who was standing aside obediently, focused his eyes on Kiryu's first-rate shoes.
"What's wrong?" He noticed Ibaraki Doji's gaze.
"I have never seen weird shoes like yours, sir."
"These are called sneakers. They fit the soles of your feet better and are very breathable. Your feet won't smell bad when you wear them." Kiryu Yiyi sat up and said, "By the way, I happened to bring some delicious food. Do you want to try it? It should be better than human flesh. eat."
Ibaraki Doji respectfully replied: "Yes, I am willing!"
"Momotaro rice balls are really amazing," Kiryu thought to himself: "There are two left, do you want to give them to Shuten Douji?"
With Ibaraki-dōji here, it doesn't seem to be difficult to trick Shuten-dōji into eating Momotaro rice balls.
The matter was discussed again, and Kiryu Yiichi took out the love foot-soaked rice bento that was stuffed by his wife Yuko when he set out: "Here, try it!"
The bento is very exquisite and makes a hungry stomach growl.
Ibaraki Doji held the chopsticks in his left hand, picked up the rice ball with difficulty, took a bite, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes were filled with little stars. What kind of monster was this? It was clearly a beautiful girl with a childlike face and a huge... The head is cute.
"It's delicious!" Ibaraki Doji said.
"If it tastes good, eat more. Come on, eat more and eat hard!"
The woman's painful screams kept coming and going all night long.
After dawn, Kiryu Yiichi left the hotel with Ibaraki Doji.
In the daytime, Heianjing is more stable than in the evening, and there are many pedestrians on the road. However, the obvious class hierarchy makes the common people who have enough to eat and the nobles in carriages walk on the same road, but they feel like they are in two different places. world.
Kiryu Yiyi walked around in front of Rashomon again, but he didn't meet the so-called "women in need of help". Instead, he saw two big men who were boasting.
"Watanabe, if you are really brave, can you go around Suzaku Avenue after dark?"
"Hahaha!" The man known as Watanabe laughed: "I have the precious sword Hiroshigiri given by Genji-sama in my hand. If there is really a ghost and dares to reach out to me, I will cut off its ghost hand!"
"Who can't brag?"
"I will take a walk along Zhuque Avenue tonight to show you!"
Kiryu Yiichi took Ibaraki Doji, turned back to Rashomon, and moved along Suzaku Avenue.
Then he saw a gorgeously dressed woman in front of him, stroking the head of a boy who looked familiar to Kiryu, and saying something to his parents.
Kiryu walked over and realized that the child was the noble who had been tested on the knife, and the child whose head was split open with the knife.
People who were already dead and could no longer die appeared alive and kicking before their eyes.
The young and beautiful woman told the boy: "You must be careful in the future. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me..."
The child's parents also noticed Kiryu Ichijo walking over. After all, he was wearing a red robe, which was very eye-catching.
The couple immediately greeted: "Sir!"
"Did you successfully find that person for help?" Kiryu asked.
The two shook their heads and said, "No, we met Miss Fujiwara on the road yesterday. It was Miss Fujiwara who saved our child with magic!"
They looked at the woman beside them with great gratitude, known as "Miss Fujiwara". She was twenty-eight years old and could capture people's attention with just one glance without applying makeup.
"I just happen to know some spells that can heal injuries." The woman nodded to Kiryu Ichi, probably because she was surprised that Kiryu Ichi, who didn't look like an ordinary person, actually cared about an ordinary person, and his attitude was very gentle.
"Being able to bring the dead back to life is already a miracle." Kiryu Yishi shook his head: "Miss Fujiwara is too humble."
"I wonder what you call me?"
"Kiryu first class."
"Well, farewell, Kiryu-sama."
Ms. Fujiwara did not have much communication with Kiryu Yiyi. She just smiled slightly, gently touched the boy's recovered head, and then turned and left.
Kiryu's first-class eyes were also on her, as she walked further and further away.
"Sir, that lady is from the Fujiwara family of your right minister. She is known as a woman who is afraid of men." Ibaraki Doji said from the side: "She doesn't like to dress up, but she is very brave and has excellent archery skills."
The children's family on the side knew that they were not allowed to hear the gossip among the big shots, so they left quickly after bowing to Kiryu's class.
"Oh? Do you also care about these gossip stories?" Kiryu asked in surprise.
That Miss Fujiwara is indeed a bit more "manly". Many women who love beauty in this era will choose to shave off their eyebrows and blacken their teeth, but she meets everyone without a face.
Because of this, she appears to be naturally beautiful.
"She is said to be afraid of ghosts. As a ghost, of course I would be very interested," Ibaraki Doji said, "But Fujiwara is indeed born with extraordinary power. It is difficult for ordinary ghosts to get close to her."
Ibaraki Doji continued: "A woman like her is very suitable to be your spouse, Sir."
Kiryu Yiyi said: "I just feel that she looks familiar, like someone."
Ibaraki Doji looked at Kiryu Ichizu with suspicion, as if to say, "Do you think I will believe you if you say this?"
"She looks a lot like Fukada Kyoko, no... maybe she is Fukada Kyoko."
He sighed: "Nohara Shinnosuke sincerely doesn't deceive me."
The sky suddenly became dark.
Kiryu Yiyi looked up at the sky.
It's a solar eclipse.
"Ah, no, a big disaster is going to happen!"
"Run!"
Kiryu Yiyi felt a little confused when he heard the panicked sounds around him, but the people around him seemed to have seen the end of the world, and they were running home in a hurry.
Even Ibaraki Doji was trembling.
"Is the solar eclipse scary?" Kiryu asked.
It’s okay for others to be afraid. For example, Ibaraki Doji is already considered an upper-middle level monster, so why are he so afraid?
Ibaraki Doji nodded repeatedly: "It is rumored that such a terrifying celestial phenomenon will cause an earth-shaking disaster."
"This is just a change in the celestial phenomena. Don't worry too much." Kiryu shook his head: "The world we live in is a sphere. The earth revolves around the sun, and the moon revolves around the earth..."
He gestured: "A solar eclipse is just that the moon happens to be right between the earth and the sun, blocking the sun, so we see the sun as if it has been swallowed... That's why a solar eclipse happens. Don't be too superstitious. .”
After finishing speaking, Kiryu felt something was wrong again. He actually made a superstitious creature "ghost" that only existed in fantasy. Don't be superstitious.
"Anyway, don't worry," Kiryu said. "If the world is really destroyed, there will be nowhere to escape, right?"
Ibaraki Doji nodded and agreed with Kiryu Ichiru's answer.
As for rotation and revolution, it doesn't understand it at all, but it understands the last sentence very well. If the world is destroyed, it will inevitably die, so there is no need to bother anyone before that.
But the strange thing is that Ibaraki Doji has no idea of killing everyone and taking this opportunity to eat people. Instead, he waits for Kiryu's orders.
"Your knowledge is not enough. It seems that you and Hagi will have to make up lessons later... By the way, let the mannequin help you make up lessons."
