[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

When the first ray of sunlight shines on the earth again, all things wake up from their deep sleep.

The eastern forest was very lively on this day, demon extermination masters in twos and threes brought their own shikigami, looking for monsters in this forest to seal them.

A clothed rabbit demon fled in embarrassment in this forest: "Damn humans, we obviously didn't do anything to hurt you, why did we seal us up for no reason?"

"Being monsters, this is your biggest original sin!" The demon extermination master who couldn't see his face with a mask on laughed wildly, and kept throwing spells for restraint at the rabbit monster.

"Damn humans... If one day I have enough power, I will definitely eat you all!" The rabbit demon remembered that a few years ago, his mother was sealed in the pot by a group of exorcists. Since then, there has been no news.

Left-clicking and right-clicking, the Rabbit Demon, who was dodging the attack of the Demon Eliminator, ran headfirst into a pillar because he didn't have time to look at the road ahead, and closed his eyes in despair.

The expected feeling of being restrained did not come, and a human girl stood in front of it—it turned out that what it just hit was the girl's calf.

"This rabbit hit me, it is my prey." Reiko put a branch on her shoulder and looked at the demon exorcist in front of her.

"Huh? Where did this brat come from! According to the rules among the demon masters, this rabbit monster is mine anyway?" The demon master felt that Lingzi's behavior was very ridiculous.

"What does the rules of demon masters have to do with me? I only do what I want to do, that's all." Reiko smiled, "Do you want to leave voluntarily, or do you want to compete with me?"

"Don't be kidding, who wants to compare with you!" The exorcist threw the binding spell directly at Reiko, wanting to quickly get rid of the guy who got in the way.

"Heh!" Reiko chuckled, caught the talisman with her hand, and then squeezed it lightly, the talisman instantly turned into fragments, scattered on the ground one by one, "This time, I won."

The exorcist took a few steps back in disbelief, said a few harsh words, and left in a hurry.

After confirming that there were no other demon extermination masters around, Reiko turned and squatted down, looked at the little rabbit demon and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"Don't be hypocritical! Our homeland was destroyed by you! When I become stronger, I will definitely come back with revenge, just wait for me, human!" The rabbit demon gave Reiko a resentful look, then jumped into the bushes and left .

Reiko sighed and scratched her head: "It seems like I'm nosy again, I really don't have a long memory."

However, she never regretted meddling in these "nosy things".

Hayato once said that Reiko may not be used to the way the Oba clan treats monsters, and the fact is the same.

There is also a difference between demon extermination masters and demon extermination masters. There are demon extermination masters who can get along with monsters like the Hakozaki family, and naturally there will also be demon extermination masters who wantonly capture and seal monsters like the field.

Although Reiko keeps saying that she hates monsters, she spends more time with monsters than with humans. Those lonely and boring days are also colored by the company of monsters.

"Go away, you monsters!" A slightly shrill female voice came from not far from Reiko, and Reiko felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.

She searched all the way in the direction where the sound came from, and pushed aside the branches - a girl with brown curly hair fell to the ground clutching her ankles, in front of the scattered spells was a half-drawn formation, three or four wearing ape masks , The fluffy monsters surrounded the girl.

"We will not let you disturb the leader's sleep. We will guard this forest." The ape-faced monster stretched out its claws and grabbed the girl.

"Stop!" Reiko threw the branches in her hands at the ape-faced monsters, and those monsters quickly retracted their claws as if they were scalded by something after touching the branches.

"Have even monsters learned to bully the weak and be afraid of the strong now? They couldn't beat those powerful demon masters, so they came to bully a girl?" Reiko picked up a stone and threw it in her hand.

The ape-faced monster who took the lead also seemed to see Reiko's strength, and gritted his teeth: "Let's retreat!"

The ape-faced monsters cast a bitter look at Reiko, jumped up one after another, and disappeared into the jungle in two or three strokes.

"Are you okay?" Reiko walked up to the girl and recognized her as the girl who spoke to her at the gate of the mansion.

The girl covered her ankles with faint blood oozing: "Are you laughing at me in your heart, right? You have no talent, no strength, and you are so embarrassed by a few monsters, and you still want to have a relationship with Yu Si?" stand together……"

"You are injured. I remember that a certain herb has the effect of stopping bleeding. Be patient. You should find that kind of herb nearby." Reiko didn't answer the girl's words, but smiled and comforted her while squatting on the ground looking for the herb.

The girl realized that her reaction was a bit extreme, but she was too embarrassed to apologize, so she changed the subject: "Do you also have research on herbal medicine?"

Reiko was a little surprised by the girl's reaction: "Ah, I only know herbs to stop bleeding. When I was weak when I was young, I was often chased by monsters, so I kept getting hurt, and I became familiar with it over time."

Reiko's tone was downplaying, as if the pain she had experienced in the past was like a gust of wind, and it was over when it passed by, but the girl could hear the suppressed pain inexplicably.

"My name is Nanase Huahai, and I'm an exorcist from the Chang clan who joined. You were not born in the exorcist family, were you?"

Reiko put the herbal medicine she found into her mouth and chewed it. The strong bitterness made her frown slightly. When the herbal medicine was rotten enough, she applied it to Nanase's wound. The tingling sensation caused by the contact between the herbal medicine and the wound made Nanase He kept sucking in air-conditioning.

"I'm Natsume Reiko. To be honest, yesterday was the first time I saw a demon master."

Nanase stared at Reiko who was seriously applying the medicine for herself, and the jealousy and unwillingness in her heart gradually disappeared: "You know, I was quite jealous of you before. The kimono you saw at the door of Chang's house is different People see colors differently."

"Ordinary people see white and blue, and I belong to this category; those with slightly better aptitude see yellow or orange, and those with excellent aptitude see red. There are also those geniuses who are said to be You can see chrysanthemums and peonies on kimonos, but no one has ever seen butterflies... I think your aptitude has probably surpassed the scope of exorcising demons."

Qualification?Reiko scoffed at the word.

If she had a choice, she would rather never see those monsters.

However, now that she has seen it, and she has seen it for so many years, she can no longer give up this ability.

Because monsters have become a part of her life, if there are no monsters, she really has nothing left.

Unaware of Reiko's emotions, Nanase continued on her own: "If you were born a thousand years ago, Reiko, you might be able to become an onmyoji. It's a pity that in this day and age, onmyoji have disappeared. Although it is rumored that Kyoto is still guarded by the family of Onmyoji for generations, no one has seen it, and the inheritance of Onmyoji must have been cut off long ago."

It is said that in the Heian era thousands of years ago, there was such a group of people: they wore hunting clothes and black hats, and walked through the winding corridors with wide and long sleeves. They played chess and poems with nobles during the day, and drank and had fun with ghosts at night.They understand astronomy, master the calendar, a pair of wise eyes can see through the past and the future, and a pair of dexterous hands can balance the two worlds of yin and yang.

They are the guardians of Kyoto - Onmyoji.

"Eh? Exorcist is different from Onmyoji?" Of course Reiko knew about the legend of Onmyoji. She originally thought that Exorcist was just another word for Onmyoji, but now it seems that is not the case.

"Of course it's different. For example, in the eyes of a real onmyoji, a demon exorcising master is probably...a garbage-like existence." Wearing a black kimono and covering his right eye with a talisman, Yuji Chang happily moved from a certain place. He paced out from behind a tree, holding a pitch-black longbow in his hand.

"Master?!" Nanase shouted in surprise, her eyes seemed to light up all of a sudden.

"It's Nanase." Yuji's eyes swept over Nanase lightly, and then looked at Reiko with great interest, "I've noticed you since just now, is your name Natsume Reiko? You saved a weak monster in your hands, and immediately saved a weak human being from a monster...Humans and monsters, which side are you on?"

"It's neither, I only do what I want to do. Since you and Nanase know each other, you will take care of her. Let me go!" Yuji Chang gave Reiko a very bad feeling, The gaze that stuck to her was like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time, making one's hairs stand on end.

Yusi grabbed Reiko's arm and pulled her into his arms, the air from his nose seemed to be sprayed on Reiko's face.

"I'm very interested in you. Do you want to join the Chang family? Even if you want to be the head of the Chang family, there is no problem. After all... Only by combining with powerful people can the future generations continue to be strong."

The Chang family, because they violated the contract with the monsters, every head of the Chang family has to endure the monsters' attacks again and again endlessly.Even if they successfully resisted a hundred attacks, if they were not careful once, they would lose their right eye, and Patriarchs who lost their eyes would generally not live long.

Only if you are strong enough, you can last as long as possible under the hands of monsters.

Therefore, in order to be "powerful", the Tianchang clan can do whatever it takes. A powerful shikigami, a powerful subordinate, and a powerful spouse, as long as they can be used, they will all be included in their pockets.

Reiko, on the other hand, is a good choice.

The author has something to say:

Do you think Reiko will punch him?

Maybe there will be a twist in the next chapter?The hero (name) is finally coming out, Sahua~
