Hell girl [Comprehensive]

The fruit of Sasa is a small red fruit that tastes a little sour, but fortunately, it is really effective.The wound on Mana's forehead stopped hurting when she went to bed that night, and when she woke up in the morning, the wound was completely healed.Of course, this is not only because of Akasa fruit, but also because of Mana himself.

Ever since she was able to see monsters and even hurt monsters, Mana has discovered that she is more different from ordinary people. She has a very good healing ability. Whether it is a cut or an abrasion, the wound will stop bleeding after a short time and appear The healing ability is dozens of times better than that of ordinary people. These abilities were not obvious when they were young, but they became stronger as they grew older, and they were simply invincible cockroach physique.

If it wasn't for the poisonous wound this time, it would have been fine after a night.

Mana doesn't know if this happens to all people who can see monsters, but she knows that it is precisely because of this characteristic that she can barely survive the initial battle with monsters, otherwise she will be tossed by monsters died.

At the same time, Mana also thought of the little fur ball called mow that hurt her. She knew that many monsters were harmful to humans, but all she knew in the past was the ghostly aura, curse, and direct contact damage of monsters. , but never knew that there were poisonous monsters, Mana couldn't help but chuckled, it seemed that she knew very little about monsters.

In the blink of an eye, the weekend came, and Mana Yagyu refused the family outing with the whole family on the grounds that she had an appointment, and took the tram to Yahara alone.

She was going to find a folklorist named Dorai Shinichiro, who was said to have studied Japanese monsters for many years.

This is not the first time for Mana, since she reached the age when she can go out by herself, she has found some famous shrines and temples, as well as people who have researched in this area.

There are monsters in this world, and there are naturally people who can deal with them. Although Mana has the ability to repel many monsters, she is only one person after all, and more importantly, she has a family.She has no way to guarantee that there will be no monsters who will curse the members of the Yagyu family because they hold a grudge against her, so before she grows up to be able to live independently, she needs more strength to protect herself and her family.

Alienation is the worst form of protection, but strength is the real protection.

It is a pity that the shrines and temples she finds are rarely helpful to her. Although there are indeed few monsters who dare to enter in some places, most of them are treasures of town temples, such as thousand-year-old Buddha statues, stone carvings, and Mr. Mana. It's impossible to move them back to the house. Those are all recorded on the list of Japanese cultural heritage.

Exorcists, priestesses, and monks are hard to find, at least it is difficult for Mana, who is still in the ordinary world and is just an 'ordinary person' on the surface.

Mana has read the book about monsters written by Shinichiro Doguchi and finds it very interesting. Maybe this person will be what she wants to find.

Standing in the tram car, Mana looked out the window at a piece of windy and sunny scenery, as well as a large area of ​​green fields.

Yahara, this is not a prosperous country, but it is very close to nature. When Mana thinks about Yahara, she can't help but think of a famous monster anime "Natsume's Book of Friends" in her previous life. The protagonist Natsume Takashi seems to live In Yayuan.

It’s not that Mana didn’t think about it, maybe there is also a boy named Takashi Natsume in this world, who can see monsters like her, and this can give her a little comfort, at least she is not the only “special” person .

It's a pity that she only remembers that Natsume moved to relatives' homes since childhood, and finally came to the home of his adoptive parents living in Yahara, but Mana didn't know where his adoptive parents' home was, otherwise she would be able to verify Mana's thoughts.

Just as Mana's thoughts were drifting further and further away, the pleasant female voice on the radio in the tram sounded, and Yahara had arrived.

Mana was walking on the small road in the field, looking for the residence of Shinichiro Takara according to the address written on the note paper in her hand.

"Ah, I found it." Mana looked up at the big house in front of her, "It's really big."

It’s not like Mana has never seen such a quaint Japanese-style house. The main family of the Yagyu family, that is, the place where Mana’s grandfather lives, is a Japanese-style house that is much larger than this, but such a house can be built in such a rural place. , it seems that the background is not small, the ancestors should also be famous.

However, Mana came here on business, so she didn't dwell on this issue for too long, and knocked lightly on the wooden door.

There was the sound of clogs being dragged inside the door, and with a "squeak", the door was opened. A pale old man with a dark gray kimono, light orange hair, and elegant but slightly sickly pale old man came in.

Mana bowed politely, "Excuse me, is Mr. Shinichiro Doguchi here?"

The old man had a gentle smile on his face, "I am, you are Mana Yagyu who called me before."

Mana said seriously: "Yes, I have always heard that Mr. Shinichiro has a lot of research on monsters, so I took the liberty to come here to visit."

Dogui Shinichiro looked at the girl who was about the same age as his granddaughter in front of him, and couldn't help softening his heart, and said with a gentle smile, "Then come in first."

"It's troublesome." Mana bowed slightly again.

As soon as she entered the door, the first thing Mana saw was not the elegant architectural layout in the courtyard, but eight or nine monsters with different looks scattered in the courtyard, some were sitting on the fence, and some were sitting on the grass. , some squatting beside the pond stones.

Mana couldn't help but slam her feet, still, there are so many.It's not surprising that there are youkai in human houses, but it's really rare to see so many. Mana almost took a defensive posture, but fortunately she held back considering that Shinichiro Takara was still there.

Mana withdrew her eyes when she saw them, pretended not to look aside, and followed Shinichiro Takara into the house, but heard those monsters chattering instead.

"She seems to have seen us." It was a one-eyed black ghost talking.

"How is it possible? Ordinary people can't see us, but Shinichiro can't see us." said a little monster who was only four or five inches tall with black eyes in a mother-in-law's bun.

When the other monsters heard it mentioned Shinichiro, they didn't refute anymore. In their hearts, how could there be someone better than Shinichiro? Even someone as good as Shinichiro couldn't see them, how could this little girl do it.

Although Mana refrained from looking at them, their words drifted into her ears unconsciously, Shinichiro, these monsters are really affectionate to old Mr. Doku.

"However, why did Shinichiro bring her in?"

"I heard that Shinichiro answered the phone yesterday. It seems that this little girl said she would come to visit him."

……

After Mana sat down, Shinichiro Doguchi brought yokan and tea, and with a gentle smile on his old face, he said, "The reception is not good, please bear with me."

Hearing this, Mana quickly waved her hand and said, "It's my fault. I'm really sorry for disturbing you when Teacher Dougui is recuperating." Before coming, Mana had heard that Shinichiro Dougui was in poor health because of his old age. , so it's about recuperating in my hometown.

After saying a few words, Mana brought up her intention to come. Shinichiro Doguchi was obviously a little surprised, and then laughed: "I didn't expect that there are still young people who are interested in monster studies."

"Most people nowadays have forgotten the culture of monsters." Shinichiro Doguchi couldn't help sighing.

Mana also nodded in agreement, if it wasn't because she could see monsters, otherwise she wouldn't be able to believe that monsters existed.

Shinichiro Doguchi smiled, and continued: "It's not right to say that I have studied a lot of monsters, but I have been interested in monsters since I was a child."

Mana also noticed this point, along the way, there are many things related to monsters everywhere in the house.

Perhaps it was because he was talking about something that Shinichiro Doragi had always been interested in, so he talked a lot, and his pale face became a little more angry.

"What do you think is the name of the monster?" Mana, who has been in contact with monsters a lot, has also deeply realized the importance of names for monsters, so she can't help asking.

Holding the teacup, Shinichiro Doguchi said slowly: "In the quotations of the most famous onmyoji in the Heiankyo era, Abe Seimei, he mentioned this in a conversation with his friend Hiroya Minamoto. The name is the simplest mantra, and the mantra represents The bondage to things, if the thing has no name, it loses its bondage. This does not mean that it does not exist, but it shows that there is no bondage. In the same way, even invisible things, as long as they have a name, are bound, even ghosts. "

"...Later, all kinds of old items, such as lutes, umbrellas, wooden fish, and pots, were thrown away by people, and they turned into all kinds of monsters in a fit of anger, and they ran out at night to make troubles."
