[Lord Demon Slayer: Hiiragi of Kuhara]

==============================

"The so-called rainbow is nothing but the glow of light and mist."

Looking at the sunset in the sky, Lingli Zhuhe stood on the corridor with his hands behind his back, more like reciting a poem than sighing.

"The sun's rainbow is dazzling, it is the glow of gold; the moon's rainbow is full of clouds, it is the glow of jade. But both of them are nothing more than ordinary rainbows. Only the sun and the moon lead together can be called the rainbow of the sky, and it is the rainbow of ghosts and gods. Xia."

"Is it the glow of ghosts and gods? You are saying these things I don't understand again," Chie Ayori sat on the wooden railing next to her, shaking her legs absent-mindedly, "Anyway, don't care about the sun and the moon, I can only I just think it looks good. Compared to these, sister, why don't you stay in your room and run out?"

"It's just that the days of being the head of the sect are too boring. I happened to see the sunset outside the window, so I came out to take a breath."

"Well, although I also think it's boring, yes," Chie nodded, and stretched absent-mindedly.

She looked at the calm and heroic woman, she didn't know what she thought of, although her tone was still lazy, her eyes suddenly turned cold.

"But if something happens to those four people, I won't let you go."

The setting sun reflected on the red camellias in her courtyard, which were extremely red.

Lingli Zhuhe didn't answer, but silently nodded in response, then turned around and passed by the servants of the clan who kept their heads down and said nothing the whole time, and slowly walked into the headmaster's room.

"...It's really annoying not to talk at critical times."

Looking at the back figure that disappeared behind the door, Chie picked up the Gouyu hanging on her chest, feeling the extraordinarily cold touch of the jade in the palm of her hand.

"Tsk, never mind."

Compared to these, let's go and see how the preparations for the festival are going.

……

Due to the lack of electrical equipment, the residents of Kurin-no-Sato follow the ancient tradition of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, so after nightfall, there are almost no pedestrians walking on the street.

There was no trace of anything worth noting at the place where the incident happened, and even his own blood ghost technique couldn't find any traces.

After exploring around the village for the last time, Kuhara Hiiragi, who found nothing, knocked on the door of Ayari's branch with a tired heart.

Kurin-no-Sato itself is not very big, so the residence of the Ayasato branch and the main family are very close to each other, and the guests who usually come to entrust spirit séance usually stay in the guest room of the branch.

Even if he doesn't need to eat and sleep, he is not interested in blowing cold wind all night.

"You are Mr. Kuhara? Master Zhuhe mentioned you to me." A young man with short brown hair who opened the door looked about his age and held a kerosene lamp in his hand. After seeing Kuhara Hiiragi nodding Just raised a smile, "I'm Yuzo Ayari from the branch family, just call me Yuzo, please come with me."

"Yes, sorry to trouble you."

The pond in the yard was frozen and snow fell on the vegetation.

There is not much difference between the layout of the branch family and the main family, except that there are a few less rooms for performing spirit descending spells.

The guest room seemed to be in a relatively remote part of the branch mansion.The two walked forward along the silent wooden corridor, and some windows showed the light of candles, as if someone was inside.

"Are you and the swordsman with rare hair color coming together?" Yuzo Ayari asked, because Kurinori had a long history with the Demon Slayer Squad, and he didn't seem to be confused about their identities. "Who is going to commission a psychic medium?"

"..."

Kuhara Hiiragi froze for a moment, because judging from this person's reaction, Master Zhu and his lord seemed to say that they were ghost killers who had come to entrust the psychic medium ceremony.

In other words, perhaps only Akari Akari and Akari knew about the fact that Kurin-no-Sato had been invaded by ghosts... Maybe there was also Ayari Chie.

Should he directly answer 'we are here to help kill ghosts', or continue to follow his words?

Kuhara Hiiragi thought for a while, and chose to respond with silence.

"Did I ask too many questions?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Ayasato Yuzo muttered softly, "I'm sorry, but I'm a little curious because the two are the guests that Mr. Zhuhe personally received."

"It's okay." It's a bit impolite to let others ask and answer by themselves. Seeing that there seems to be a long way to go, Jiuyuan Hiiragi started to talk, "What kind of person is Zhu He?"

"If you want to ask questions about seance, you can rest assured that she is a well-deserved genius in terms of spiritual power." Ayari Yuzo showed a reverent smile, "Although she has been responsible for the Kurin school at a young age. The psychic is an important task, but in the past few years with her, Cangyuan has become more active than before, and there has never been any ghost cannibalism."

"What about Chie Ayari?"

"What?" Yousan blinked blankly.

"It's Ayasato Chie, Zhuhe's younger sister." Kuhara Hiiragi looked at his puzzled look, and added, "It's a girl with long brown hair and a golden gouyu around her neck. I met her once on the way to Kurin no Sato."

"Golden Gouyu... Oh!" Yusan suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had just realized it, and said quickly, "Sorry, so you were talking about Master Chie, I'm sorry! Master Chie, she...uh..."

Although he reacted, he still hesitated to speak.

"Is there any question, Chie-sama?"

"No, no, not at all! Chie-sama is of course very powerful, but I don't want to talk too much about the Zong family." Yousan scratched his face and smiled bitterly, "She doesn't see people very much, and you suddenly mentioned it, so I can't turn my mind for a while, I'm really sorry, I laughed."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and continued to lead the way, as if he didn't want to continue this topic.But at this moment, he suddenly felt a hand pat on his shoulder.

"Mr. Jiuyuan? What's wrong?"

"Please don't move, there is a centipede behind your neck, I will help you remove it."

"what!?"

Ayari Yusan froze, and in a place where he could not see, Kuhara Hiiragi silently opened the eyes of Xiangshu on the forehead.

"..."

To his disappointment, everything worked.

Even with the use of eye-calling, no trace of vampire art was caught, and the core of this person was also in a stable state.

After a brief investigation, Kuhara Hiiragi silently retracted the traces of demonization on his face with some unwillingness.He originally thought that maybe this time the ghost possessed the blood ghost technique of tampering with people's thinking like Guizimu's Zhuxiang, but now it seems that this is not the case.

It has been a long time since I became a ghost that I feel powerless.

"Take it, did you take it down?"

Ayari Yuzo's hand holding the kerosene lamp was shaking.

By the way, I almost forgot, there is still someone who is scared by me.

"Sorry, I was wrong."

But this Ling Li Yu □ □ Ying is really interesting, although it is not as good as my wife Shan Yi.For some reason, Kuhara Hiiragi suddenly had such an idea.But he quickly developed a mental self-criticism.

No, this is not good, at least not to scare the general public.

"What, you scared me to death! Can you stop..."

Feeling the hands on his shoulders being put down, Yusan breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his head and was about to say something, but saw the young man with black jade-colored long hair tied into a ponytail smiling apologetically to himself under the moonlight.

It was obviously a very upright expression, but somehow he could see that there was a hint of a successful prank.

The warm light of the kerosene lamp reflected the cold side face and melted into the dark eyes.

And that haori that was sewn with charms, even in this place that believes in spiritual power and is full of psychics who can communicate with the dead, is a particularly strange existence... It should be like this.

But why?

If the bamboos surrounding Kurin-no-Sato had spirits, it would probably be such a person——Yuso Ayari couldn't help thinking, and the accusations that had just been raised disappeared all of a sudden.

"What's the matter?" Seeing him staring at him suddenly without speaking, Kuhara Hiiragi was a little puzzled.

"No, nothing!" The short brown-haired young man quickly turned his head, got over the topic, and continued to walk forward, "I just suddenly remembered that there should be no centipedes in this season, haha..."

"yes."

Jiuyuan Hiiragi began to think about whether he had gone too far, but could a centipede scare people like this?

All the way without a word, Ayari Yusan sent him to the guest room, then turned around and left as if to run away.

I didn't even have time to say thank you... Kuhara Hiiragi looked at the back of the man who disappeared into the corner of the corridor, and wondered if the people in Ayori's family were a little strange.

Candles were lit in the guest room, and Satu, who came one step ahead, was checking his Japanese sword. He waited for Hiiragi Kuhara to close the door again before raising his head slightly.

"Was that Mr. Yusan just now? What happened to him?"

"I don't know either, maybe it's because I feel cold." Jiuyuan Hiiragi didn't really want to continue this topic, so he sat down on the other side of the room, "I didn't find any useful information in Cangyuan Zhili, what's wrong with you?" How is it?"

"From the results, the news has spread." Said Usagi, "I couldn't get out at the edge of the village, and then I met Ayari Chie, and then I knew that there was an enchantment in Kurin Village, and only her permission could enter and exit. .”

Chie Ayari?

Hearing this name that made him suspicious, Kuhara Hiiragi lowered his head thoughtfully.

"The attitude of the residents towards her is very strange. She is obviously the head's sister, but no one has taken the initiative to mention her, and Mr. Yusan also keeps silent about her." He raised his head again when he said this, " By the way, what did she tell you?"

Sabito didn't answer, but silently picked up the Japanese sword that was placed in front of him, and put it back into the sheath under Kuhara Hiiragi's puzzled eyes.

"No, she just let me find the raven, she didn't say anything of value."

"That's it." Jiuyuan Hiiragi doubted him, "I didn't find any traces of blood ghosts on Mr. Yusan just now, even including the four people who were trapped, I couldn't use the eyes to dispel them. vampirism."

"Yuso Ayari knows that you are a ghost?"

"No, I used vampirism where he couldn't see."

So it's my power that's waning?That's not to say there's no reaction.

He was thinking a little anxiously, and then he heard Sabito's voice.

"...reverse thinking."

"what?"

"No, it's just a sudden guess," Sato put one hand on his chin, as if thinking of something, "Since your blood ghost technique can't find ghosts, the victim's technique can't be dispelled either. "

"Is it possible that there were no ghosts in Cangyuan Village from the beginning?"

……

"Since this matter may be strange, should we send more people to Cangyuan Zhili?"

After some data investigation, Ubayashiki Amane has confirmed that there is no 'Ayari Chie' in the Ayari family, but regarding this, Ubayashiki Yoya seemed to suddenly understand something, and deepened the smile on his face .

"Master Yaozai?"

"There is no need for more people." The leader of the ghost killing team said softly, "Don't worry, Tianyin, they will take care of it. It might be better to say that there are too many people sent there now."

Hearing this, the woman as beautiful as a birch tree couldn't help covering her lips and chuckling.

"Yes, I actually thought so too."

She uttered words almost identical to those of the residents of Kurin-no-Sato.

"After all, with Zhu and your lord here, there is no need to worry about everything."

The author has something to say:

About Kurin no Sato:

The living room shown in Ace Attorney is very small. There are a lot of futons in a Japanese room, and the important pot of Kurin is also randomly placed on the corner of the corridor (then it was broken three times, so I suspect Koko has long since escaped. up).

So my private setting here is that this place used to be brilliant, but later it became lonely because of the loss of people from the tribe because of the connection with the outside world, so I will write about some facilities that were not in the reversal. Please bear with me if there is a conflict with the reversal , I really don't have time to reopen the game (sad).

ps: According to the information found, Cangyuan Liu psychic practice began in the Heian period, and may even be earlier.
