[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

Niwang didn't know what happened to him.

He didn't actually think about what he was going to do after he caught up.He didn't even know why he was chasing after him.

But the body reacts faster than the mind.

Something in the dark is attracting him, that kind of attraction is very mysterious, hard to describe in words, it seems to be a desire welling up from the depths of the soul.So he almost desperately ran to a place with light.

The hustle and bustle of the town was quickly left behind.

The woods that I came to during the training camp a few days ago had a weird coolness that shouldn't appear in summer.

close, very close—

Niwang stopped abruptly.

He leaned on the tree and opened his eyes wide.

Not far in front of him, there was a lantern floating.

Flaming ones, jumping ones, tongues of fire turning into real tongues, lanterns.

……what? !

"Yo ho! The lantern ghost was chased! The lantern ghost is very angry!" The lantern suddenly turned over, turned 360 degrees and jumped twice.

Lantern Ghost?

There seems to be such a monster in the legend.

It is said that he likes to chase pedestrians in the woods to scare people...

Wait, chasing pedestrians?

What did it just say?

Niwang reacted for a second, then turned his head and ran away.

"The lantern ghost is very angry! The lantern ghost is very angry!" The thing behind him who claimed to be the lantern ghost seemed to be whispering in his ear.And Nioh could hear the wind, the changing sound of the wind as the lantern rolled in the air.

King Ren became more and more anxious when he heard the wind, and when he turned his head, he was almost caught in the eyes by the lantern ghost's long tongue.

He gasped and picked up speed.

Why on earth am I chasing after you?Nioh thought while running.

He doesn't think so.

It's just a lantern.

There's no need to be chased by a lantern?

Even if this lantern is some legendary monster...

He walked around a tree and suddenly his eyes opened up.

It is the place to watch the fireworks that was previously selected.

The flowing creek reflected the moonlight, sparkling light spots.

Nioh stopped.

He fumbled in his pocket and took out two tennis balls.

On the jumping lantern, there may be fire burning where the two hands are, and the tongue is also a thin tongue of fire.

But that could be the forehead or the place between the eyebrows, where the handle of the lantern is attached.

It should be useful to play there, right?

A plan was made in an instant, and Nioh threw the tennis ball at the lantern with a flick of his wrist.

He took off his wristband before going out, because he thought that in case there was something he wanted to buy, it would be too tiring to walk back to the hotel for two hours with the wristband on.This allows him to throw tennis balls quite a distance now.

Without a racket, you can't play side spin and high-speed spin ball, but use a certain amount of spin acceleration, and then use the additional force of the wrist and body rotation——

Nioh throws the ball almost in the way a baseball player throws it.

The lantern, which was already very close to him, was defenseless against the tennis ball, which hadn't accelerated much: "This kind of attack from a mortal...ah!"

The fluffy tennis ball hit it.

At that moment, its forward movement stopped, and the flames in its hands also weakened.

"Wait a minute, what is this?!...Aren't you a mortal?!"

It seems to work.

Nioh twirled the other tennis ball in his hand and decided to give it another shot.

But before he could do it, there was a breaking wind.

"Monster!" There was a bit of awe-inspiring righteousness in the gentle female voice.

The bow and arrow pierced the air, split the mountain wind, and flew from behind the lantern visible to King Ni with a bit of aura, like shooting stars flying across the field of vision.

It flew straight towards the lantern ghost's "hat".

Swish.

It's a penetrating sound.

After the bow and arrow passed through the lantern ghost, it turned into a light spot and disappeared into the air, but the lantern ghost's figure stopped.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

Then the lantern ghost let out a sharp whine: "Hey——!"

Its figure trembled twice, gradually became transparent, and then became a gray spell.

Nioh: ... what the hell?

He silently took back his tennis ball, feeling inexplicably shabby.

He raised his head and saw two figures coming out of the woods, one big and one small.

The older one waved, and the gray charm in the air flew towards her.

And the little one...

The familiar little girl smiled and clapped her hands: "Ah, Brother Fox!"

Nioh: Wasn't he still the Great Fox just now, and now he's downgraded?Sure enough, tennis is too shabby... No, how can I dislike tennis?

"Jiuhui." The young woman shouted, with a little helplessness in her tone.

She was still wearing the kimono from the temple fair just now, and she held a wooden bow in her hand. King Ni didn't see where the arrow was, and maybe there was no physical arrow in the first place.

She nodded to King Ni, and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, did I scare you?"

Nioh shook his head slowly.

He was a little curious: "Are you a witch?"

He heard that the priestesses in the shrine can practice arrows and can cast spirits.But the maiden should wear the uniform of the maiden all year round, right?And I can't seem to get married...

"No, I'm just an exorcist." The young woman shook her head.

She looked at King Ni, seemed to hesitate for a while, and then glanced at the giggling and happy daughter next to her: "You seem to be able to see monsters, and you also have not weak spiritual power."

"Spiritual power...what the hell is it?"

"This is really a difficult question to answer." The young woman laughed, "It's as difficult as answering what life is."

So, is it like life and soul, something that is difficult to explain with materialistic concepts?

"It seems that you don't know how to use spiritual power yet." The young woman stepped on the ground and walked over, holding her daughter with one hand, "You can go to Kyoto for help."

Is it Kyoto again?

King Ren frowned slightly.

He watched the young woman stop not far in front of him, and took out a business card from the sleeve of her kimono.

"Or you can call the number above and ask."

Nioh took the business card and lowered his head: "Where is...?"

"Yes, the Changyi sect is a famous sect among the demon masters. I am just an ordinary exorcist who is attached to the Changyi sect." The young woman explained carefully, "But your spiritual power seems They are still growing up, maybe they will become very powerful. At that time, they will come to you on their own initiative."

"After all, this is another world completely different from the world in which ordinary people live, isn't it?"

After she finished speaking, she nodded to King Ni, bowed slightly and pulled the little girl away.

Her daughter turned her head and waved to King Ni: "Goodbye, Brother Fox~"

King Ren froze in place for a while, and then thought sadly, why isn't he the Great Fox Immortal?Can't you become a fox fairy again?And why a fox?Looks alike or is there some other reason?

He watched the fireworks absent-mindedly, only to feel that the lively fireworks were boring.

Hey, it's not as fun as the lantern ghost just now.

I don't know if the talisman will summon another lantern ghost after it is taken away.

Using spells to summon ghosts... It seems that I have seen related plots in which TV series or animation?

When Nioh walked slowly from the creek back to the scheduled meeting place, everyone else had already arrived.

Seeing him, Sanada couldn't help frowning: "Where have you been?"

"I shouldn't be late." King Ren waved his hand.

Sanada gasped.

Liu smiled and shook his head: "King Ren."

There was a hint of warning in his tone.

When he was away from home, King Ni didn't really want to offend the chief of staff who was in charge of financial power, so he shrugged and calmed down.

He strolled to Liu Sheng's side: "Didn't you buy anything?"

Over there, Marui and Kirihara had masks, small goldfish, and a lot of snacks in their hands, but Yagyu was empty-handed.

Liu Sheng silently glanced at King Ni: "You didn't buy anything either."

"Yeah, but it was interesting to watch. Puri~" Nioh smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Yagyu: ...the fireworks are so beautiful?Isn't this guy someone who likes to watch fireworks?

When the temple fair is over, there are only two days left for their training camp.

Considering that since he came to Hakone, he had to soak in the hot springs, Liu changed the schedule for the remaining two days, and evenly distributed the evening practice to the morning and afternoon.In this way, after the evening training, you can just soak in the hot spring to relieve fatigue.

"It just so happens that you have been exercising a lot these days. I made an appointment with the boss for a massage, so everyone can relax." Liu said.

Marui whispered to Nioh in private: "We must have had a lot of money last year."

"National champions, of course there are many. And we won the lucky prize at the Haiyuan Festival last year." Nioh made up his mind, "Didn't Liu also say that he planned to add two ball machines?"

"If the expenses for the training camp and the expenses for going to Osaka to participate in the national competition are deducted, we should not be able to buy two." Marui also calculated, "We should buy one first. If we can win the national championship this year..."

"We will definitely win the national championship," Nioh said.

Yukimura who passed by was very happy: "Masaharu, are you so confident in everyone?"

"Puri."

In fact, Nioh just thinks that, comparing the lineup, the Big Three are stronger than last year, and he himself is stronger than his predecessors, and his teammates will not be weaker than the seniors who were selected last year.

And now he has other skills.

such as--

"I think Sanada will be bloody tonight." Nioh said in a low voice.

Liu Sheng, who heard it, looked at him suspiciously: "You don't know what to do, do you?"

"...Hey." Nioh was very helpless, "Is Sanada and I just talking about it? When will I really do something to him?"

Liu Sheng: "Didn't you fight when you were a freshman?"

"!" King Ren was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"Liu told me." Liu Sheng hesitated for a while without taking off his glasses, "He said that you guys had a fight behind the social office after the training, and everyone had almost left at that time. It was only when Liu came to lock the door that he realized that you hadn't finished fighting."

Nioh: "..."

"He was beaten badly? He was even hit in the face."

Facing Yagyu's teasing eyes, Nio raised his hand and closed the door of the locker in the changing room.

He snorted lightly: "No slap in the face."

"Then you lost a lot of weight without eating for a week?"

How did Liu relay it?This is slander!

"It's an ulcer at the corner of my mouth, I'll be fine if I take some vitamins!"

"But I always forgot to eat, so it dragged on for a week?" Yagyu looked Nioh up and down, "But I really need to eat more. If you don't have enough muscle mass, it will be difficult to have an advantage in terms of physical fitness and strength."

He compares his arms.

Nioh: Why are you starting to compare now?I know you have strength in your golfing arm so stop showing it off!

"It's not that you don't bask in the sun, why are you so white?" King Ren muttered.

They entered the hot spring pool wrapped in a bath towel.

The reserved medium-sized pool can hold more than ten people, and eight people are naturally more than enough.

And Kirihara and Marui, who went in first, have already started a water fight.

Nioh sank into the water, wondering if he should order a hot spring egg.

He heard the footsteps in the locker room and Yukimura's vague whispers: "The main selection game before the national competition starts. We need to reschedule. A few seniors are about to graduate. It would be nice if there is a happy ending."

Then came Liu's voice: "Seniors don't seem to have any intention of playing the game."

"The strongest in Lihai is the king. I think this is a good tradition." Yukimura said.

After a pause, it was Sanada's deep voice: "There is no need to adjust the competition arrangement of the main selection competition for a 'successful ending', it is unfair to other people, besides..."

"Sanada?!"/"Genichiro?!"

Bang!

A loud bang.

Kirihara, who was splashing water, was stunned, but was splashed all over the face by Marui.

And Yagyu looked at King Ni in surprise.

King Ni touched his nose, thinking I was telling the truth.

Really.

When he woke up in the morning, he didn’t know what kind of monster it was (maybe he was not good enough, he couldn’t see the shadow clearly but he could hear sporadic voices, probably not as famous and old as Lantern Ghost) saying that Sanada accidentally cut it while practicing sword in the morning If it is caught, it will trip back for revenge.

Nioh waited all day and didn't see Sanada fall, so he thought maybe it was really a little monster or something like a table or stool became a spirit, so he couldn't leave the hotel, so he could only "trip" now.

really.

He stared at the curtain, waited for a while, and saw Yukimura and Liu walking in with suppressed smiles.

And Sanada walked last, without a bath towel, but wearing a red pocket cloth with "Tianxiabuwu" written on it, with a red spot on his forehead, faintly blue and swollen.

But King Ni didn't notice that anymore.

He looked at Sanada's crotch pants and opened his eyes wide.

The hot spring fell silent at that moment.

Then Kirihara stood up and pointed at Sanada's loincloth: "Wow, Vice Minister, did you like to wear loincloths?! Hahahaha I haven't worn these since I was five years old!"

Sanada: "...too lax!"

The author has something to say: Since the official Kuso of Xinwangwang, I automatically think that Sanada’s various behaviors and images are not OOC (anyway, it is impossible to be more OOC than the original).Sanada's "swimming trunks" in the beach scene is really a crit.

Then I understand that Sanada originally had this kind of personality, that is, he can take jokes, is a little irritable but doesn't hold grudges, is very serious and has his own principles, so he is often teased by his teammates.

It's because Yukimura was under too much pressure after his illness, so he couldn't show his emotions and anger, and became like Wangwang when he first appeared on the stage... um, the black-faced god.

After Yukimura returns, he will show his true colors again.

There won't be too many branches in the comprehensive part, because the purpose is just to give Nioh the golden finger and let Lihai win three consecutive championships.Then there will be copies of knives, and copies of Onmyoji.Others are not yet determined.I'm good at telling the story in one sentence Hhhh

And since everyone thinks not to cut... well, then I won't cut it.Extra episodes will be added.Fixed some plot bugs.Then one two three four ORZ

When I was on a business trip, I was ambitious, but the plane was late on Friday night. I didn’t get home until five o’clock in the morning yesterday. I slept for a few hours. In the afternoon, I went to have a meal appointment with my friends and have my hair done. I slept all day today...

I was going to write a post, hahaha

And my Ji Ren originally wanted to try to catch up with CP22, and will open a dealer at that time, and the agent has already been found.In fact, everything has been found, as long as I finish editing the article myself, I can finish it smoothly~

It should be, after all, it's my first time too Hhhh
