Part-Time Witch Higurashi
Chapter 33
After receiving Hannya's sword, Kanai, who was afraid of being tricked by that guy again, brought the two swords to the Kumura family the next day.
Because the Kumura family was not far from the land of Wusen, it was easy for any demon to get into unnecessary conflicts. Therefore, every time Kanai returned to the Kumura family, she would let her shikigami stay at the Sunset Shrine.
But this time, because Kendo was the Fu Mourning God and was completely immune to the attraction of Wusen, she also brought Kendo with her.
"… No matter how I look at it, it's just two swords that are about to rust."
Sitting in the Kumura family's living room, Imura Ushou pretended to look back and forth at the two rusty swords and finally came to the conclusion that they were useless.
Then, he was slapped hard on the back of his head by his grandfather, Kumura Shigeru, who was old but strong, "Brat, what nonsense are you talking about?!
These two swords clearly contain magical Reiki. They should be rare Reiki swords. "
The white-haired old man scolded Imura Ushou angrily. When he turned to Kanai, his face wrinkled into a ball of laughter. "Kanai babe, keep these two swords well and patiently nourish them with Reiki.
Maybe they will be reborn and become the real Filth Removal and Demon Slaying Blade in your hands. "
"… Yes!"
Kanai nodded subconsciously. After a pause, she said, "In fact, when I was at my aunt's place, I was lucky to get a short sword that awakened the Fu Mourning God …"
She waved at Kendo, who was sitting by the door and following her like her shadow, and motioned the child to sit beside her.
"This is the Fu Mourning God, Kendo Shiro."
"Thank you, Mokura-sama." Kendo politely greeted Kumura Shigeru.
"Oh, what a good child."
The old man squinted his eyes and stroked his beard with a smile. He asked, "If it's Kendo Shiro, is your previous master Oda Nobunaga?"
"Yes," Kendo said respectfully.
"That's strange … According to what the old man saw in the historical records, Kendo Shiro was the famous sword that Matsunaga Hideo presented to Lord Nobunaga. However, during the Honnoji incident in 1582 AD, it was destroyed in the Honnoji fire together with Lord Nobunaga."
Hearing Kumura Shigeru muttering to himself, Kanai subconsciously held Kendo's hand and asked softly, "What's the matter?
"Is it possible … to help Kendo regain his memories?"
Hearing Kanai's question, Kendo couldn't help but sneak a glance at his master.
The latter, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice it at all. Instead, he focused on his discussion with Fan Shou.
"Well … it's possible if he can regain his human memories, but if it's the Fu Mourning God, then there's nothing I can do."
Kumura Shigeru couldn't bear to see his granddaughter's disappointed expression, so he quickly added, "But in Songshan City of Ehime Prefecture, there's a place where the gods are hidden."
"A place where the gods are hidden …?"
"If you enter the place where the gods are resting, if you're lucky, you can find the legendary witch, Qian Po."
Fan Shou patted Kanai's head. "It's said that the witch has the ability to go back in time and find the source of the gods. If Kendo really wants to regain his memories, he can wait for Ryōshou to come back and take you there. Remember, the place where the gods are hidden is very dangerous. If you don't have Ryōshou to lead you, you absolutely can't go there on your own. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Kanai nodded, and her eyes lit up. She turned to Kendo and said, "When uncle Ryōshou comes back, we'll go there together to find Qian Po. Then you can regain your memories."
Kendo was stunned, and he subconsciously shook his head, "It's not that troublesome, Admiral.
For me, it's not that important whether I regain my memories or not. "
Snickersnee selfishly thought that as long as he could protect his master, it would be fine as long as he could be of use by Kanna's side. However, he wasn't interested in his memories of what happened after he left Honnoji. He didn't want his master to step into a dangerous place just because of something like that.
Kendo, who always followed Kanai around, clearly understood how busy his master was. The mid-term exam was around the corner, and she had to revise her lessons. She had to teach Huang Se and Natsume how to control her Reiki. She had to go to the Sengoku Period to learn Yin Yang Jutsu, prepare for the next summoning of her shikigami, buy cosmetics for Gui Nu Red Leaf, and buy a Battlenet account for Ibaraki. Not to mention, she had to pay attention to the strange things that happened to the monsters in Tokyo from time to time and deal with the relationship between monsters and humans.
Kanna had so many things to do that it was impossible for her to keep up. She often sacrificed sleep time in order to achieve her perfect goal.
Kendo wanted to persuade her, but he didn't dare to because of his qualifications.
He could only carefully pay attention to his master's diet, clothing, and mental state like a parent taking care of a senior high school student. He tried his best not to trouble Kanai and tried his best to make as much nutritious and delicious food as possible to feed the little girl.
"How about this, I'll take you there after the mid-term exam.
At that time, Uncle Ryōshou should be home. "
As Ryōshou and Shiyin had not returned from investigating the Black Mang Tower based on the clues left by Nana Nishimura, Kanai couldn't say when the couple would come back, so she had to make a vague promise to Kendo.
"Okay, okay, what's the point of saying this?"
The lazy Hagomorph interrupted his great-grandfather Kumura Shigeru, who wanted to continue speaking, and said to Kanai, "Didn't I promise my mother to let you go to my room to watch the 'Batman' movie and manga?
Are you coming now? "
"You brat!" Hagomorph slammed the table angrily, "Do you think my darling Kanai is the same as you?
She doesn't care about anything, her grades are bad, she can't learn Boundary Techniques, and she only knows how to read manga all day long. She's the same as your father when he was young! "
"Have you practiced your Boundary Techniques today?
You're Kanai's brother, but your Boundary Techniques aren't even half as good as hers. "
"That's enough, Old Master. Stop nagging."
Hagomorph waved his hand indifferently, "Anyway, I'm not the successor of the Kumura family. As for the Yukimura family, my mother didn't force me to do that, so don't worry about it."
After saying that, before Kumura Shigeru could jump up and hit his grandson with a broom, Hagomorph quickly pulled Kanai to his room.
As an otaku, Imogami would never allow anyone to enter his room casually. This was the first time Kanna had entered a room that was made up of two bedrooms that were connected together.
Hagomorph carefully took out the key to unlock the door, lifted the curtain with a portrait of Rinbo Rei, and proudly said to Kanai, "What do you think? This is my sacred territory!"
Kanai couldn't help but curiously look into the room … and was soon blinded by the posters of anime characters on the wall.
"Dang!
The wall on the other side of the door is filled with pictures of my first wife. "It was as if Imomura Hamoru had activated some strange mechanism as he excitedly explained the situation to Kanna and the pharmacist behind her." Infinite. "
"Infinite, the strongest long straight black hair in Stratos, can't be better!"
"On the left and right are my second and third wives, Sis Cannon and Madoka. Wow, you must, must watch Madoka Magi Madoka. It's really not torturous at all." After saying that, Imura Mamoru walked into the room first, wiping away his tears. He carefully hugged the huge glass display cabinet that was two meters tall and one and a half meters wide and rubbed his face against it happily.
"My Batman!
My Safilos!
My Diana! Hehehe! "
There were at least five layers of locked glass display cabinets. Figurines of different sizes and shapes were displayed in the display cabinet. Each of them was shiny, and some were even protected by brackets.
This level of culinary skill was terrifying. Kanai carefully walked around all the figurines, comics, pillows, posters, and signature boards in the room and sat on the only empty floor in the room.
"By the way," Hagomorph opened the TV cabinet and rummaged for something, "I promised to recommend Batman to you. It's too late to read the comics now. I'll show you the Batman trilogy by Director Nolan first."
Hagomorph carefully took out three boxes of delicately packaged discs and picked up the remote control to control the projector to play the movie.
Kanai pulled Kendo to her side. They sat in a row with a Fu Mourning God and waited for the movie to start.
It was the first time the little girl saw her brother who was completely different from how he usually was. She was stunned and could not help but ask him softly,
"… Hagomorph, are you serious about what you said just now?"
"Huh?
What? "The black-haired, black-eyed teenager turned around in surprise. It was rare for him to widen his dead fish eyes.
"You said that great-grandpa shouldn't have scolded you because you're not the heir of the Kumura family."
Kanai quietly held the square seal in her hand and asked her brother nervously, "Are you angry?"
Hagomorph was silent for a moment. He carefully looked at Kanai's embarrassed face and asked incredulously, "… You're not joking with me?"
"Huh?"
"What are you thinking, Kanai?"
Hagoromo hurriedly put aside the CD, walked over to Kanna, and pinched her cheek forcefully. "I'm saying this because I have absolutely no interest in being a barrier master at all. I don't like killing demons at all, and I don't like running out every night to help strangers. Why do I have to work as a barrier master just because I'm from Ink Village? Isn't that ridiculous?"
Kanai's expression was complicated, "… Hagomorph, have you ever said this to great-grandpa?" Wouldn't great-grandpa beat him to death if he said these 'disgraceful' words?
"I did say that."
Hagomorph didn't care, "But this is my life. Shouldn't I be the one to decide what I want to do and what kind of person I want to be?"
"And you," Hagomorph couldn't help pinching Kanai's face with both hands and warned her angrily, "Don't be too obedient. Children should behave like children. Tell me honestly, do you really want to be a witch because you like it, or are you forced to do it by adults?"
Hearing this, Kendo couldn't help but stare at Hagomorph with a complicated expression.
"Of course, I do it because I like it."
Kanai, who was in pain, pushed away Hagomorph's hands, stared at her rude brother angrily, and said to him without hesitation.
As if to emphasize the credibility of her statement, she repeated it to Omura Mamoru.
"Of course … I like my job as a witch."

"Who does Hagomorph look like?"
Ink Village's Fan Shou was so angry that he couldn't even drink his tea anymore. He turned to his son-in-law, Ink Village's Xiushi, and complained, "His results in school aren't outstanding, and he doesn't work hard on his barrier arts either. Not only that, he's obsessed with anime and superheroes.
"Fortunately, Kanai inherited Ryōshou's talent and Shiyin's hard work. Otherwise, who would I cry to?"
Hagomorph put his hand on his forehead, "It's getting worse with each generation. Hagomorph can't be taught well. He's the heir of a family of boundary masters. What else can he do other than inherit the family business?
Can he eat those comic books and models?
Can he continue to revitalize the Yukimura family?
Ridiculous! "
"It's not impossible. Didn't Ryōshou dream of being a baker when he was young?"
Hagomorph tried to persuade the old man, "When he was young, he swore that he wanted to be a baker, and now he's the leader of the boundary masters in Shinto World.
And now, how long has it been since he last cooked? "
(Kumura Yoshimori: Achoo!)
"Hagomorph is different from Ryōshou," Kumura Shigeru snorted, "At least back then, Ryōshou knew how to follow Shiyin's footsteps. But now, Hagomorph doesn't want to improve at all!
If this goes on, what will the Yukimura family do in the future?
Just look at that Ming Chou Clan. Because they gave up on the demon extermination business, many people secretly scolded them as' Coward Clan '. If Yu Shou also gives up on his career as a boundary master, how can I face my ancestors?! "
"Well, well … It'll be fine in the future. Hagomorph is still young."
"I can only hope that Hagomorph doesn't lead Kanai astray. But Kanai has a strong will. It's impossible for her to be led astray."
The old man stood up and walked to Hagomorph's room, "It's getting late. I'm going to call them for lunch."
Mo Cun Fanshou rejoiced in his heart that the heir of the Mo Cun Family was far more powerful than Mo Cun Yumo. In the future, the bloodline would not be cut off. When he walked to the door of Mo Cun Yumo's room, he heard the sound of a car whistling from the room, so he couldn't help but speed up.
"Hagomorph!
What the hell are you doing?! "
After pushing the door open, Kumura Shigeru couldn't help but cover his heart when he saw Kanai holding a bat-shaped pillow and staring at the movie on the projection screen with sparkling eyes.
