Part-Time Witch Higurashi

Chapter 44

Meow Meow Meow?

Yes!

This lord opens the bird ww

The gray-haired old man blew at his beard and glared at Shimura Shimura Shimura Shimura,

When he turned to Kanai, his face immediately scrunched up with a smile. "Baby Kanai, put away these two blades and patiently nourish them with spiritual power.

Perhaps they will be reborn,

They will become the real Filth Removal and Demon Slaying Blade in your hands. "

"... Yes!" Kanai nodded subconsciously and paused,

Then she said,

"Actually..,

When I was at Aunt's place, I was lucky enough to obtain a short blade that had awakened Fu Mourning God... "

She waved at Kendo, who was sitting by the door and following her like her shadow, and motioned for the child to sit beside her:

"This is the Fu Mourning God, Kendo Shiro."

"Please advise me, Shimura Shimura Shimura." Kendo greeted Kumura Shigeru politely.

"Oh, oh, what a good child." The old man narrowed 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 materials, Kendo Shiro was the protective blade that Matsunaga Shimura Shimura Shimura presented to Lord Nobunaga. It was famous, but during the Honnoji incident in 1582 AD..,

It was burned in the Honnoji fire with Lord Nobunaga. "

Hearing Kumura Shigeru muttering to himself..,

Kanai subconsciously held Kendo's hand,

She asked softly:

"Is it possible... to let Kendo recover his memories from that time?"

Hearing Kanai's question..,

Kendo could not help but turn his head and secretly glance at his master.

The latter, on the other hand, did not notice anything,

She only focused on discussing this question with Fan Shou.

"Well … If we can recover the memories of humans, it might be possible. But if it's Fu Mourning God, there's nothing we can do."

Kumura Shigeru couldn't bear to see his granddaughter's disappointed expression, so he hurriedly added: "But in Songshan City of Ehime Prefecture, there is a place where the gods are hidden."

"Hidden Land of the Gods …?"

"If you enter from the oil soup where the gods rest, if you are lucky, you can find the legendary witch, Granny Qian."

Fan Shou patted Kanai's head with his rough hand. "It is 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 memory, he can wait for Ryōshou to come back and take you there. Remember, the Land of the Hidden Gods is very dangerous. Without Ryōshou's guidance, you must never go there on your own. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Kanai nodded. Her eyes were obviously shining. She turned to Kendo and said, "When uncle Ryōshou comes back, we will go there together to find Granny Qian. Then, we can restore your memory."

Kendo was stunned and subconsciously shook his head: "There's no need to go through so much trouble, Admiral.

For me, it's not that important whether I regain my memory 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 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 coming, 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. She had to prepare for the next summoning of her shikigami. She also had to 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 high school student. He tried his best not to cause trouble for 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 I finish my mid-term exam.

Uncle Ryōshou should be home by then. "

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 last time to ask you to go to my room to watch the Batman movie and manga?

Are you coming now? "

"You brat!" Fan Shou was so angry that he slammed the table, "Do you think my darling Kanai is like 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 just like 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."

Shimomorph 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, Shimomorph quickly pulled Kanai and ran 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.

Shimomorph carefully took out the key to unlock the door, opened the door curtain with a portrait of Rinbo Rei, and said proudly 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, dang, 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 told 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, and there were figurines of different sizes and shapes in them. 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," Shimomorph opened the TV cabinet and rummaged for something, "I promised to recommend Batman to you. It's too late to read the comics now. Let me show you the Batman trilogy by Director Nolan first."

Shimomorph 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, and they sat down obediently with a Fu Mourning God, waiting for the movie to start.

It was the first time the little girl saw her brother who was completely different from usual. She was stunned and couldn't help but ask him softly,

"Shimomorph, are you serious about what you said just now?"

"Huh?

What? "The black-haired, black-eyed teenager turned his head in surprise, and his dead fish eyes widened.

"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?"

Shimomorph was silent for a moment, 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, and pinched Kanna's 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 looked complicated, "Shimomorph, have you ever said this to great-grandpa?" Shimomorph, wouldn't great-grandpa beat you to death if you said these "outrageous" words?

"Yes, I did."

Shimomorph 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," Shimomorph couldn't help pinching Kanai's face with both hands, and warned her angrily, "Don't be too obedient. A child should behave like a child. 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 his general with a complicated look.

"Of course, I like it."

Kanai, who was in pain, pushed away Shimomorph'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 Shimomorph look like?"

Kumura Shigeru was so angry that he stopped drinking tea, and complained to his son-in-law, Shimomorph, "His grades are not outstanding, and he doesn't work hard to learn barrier techniques. He is also addicted to anime and superheroes. Who does he look like?"

"Fortunately, Kanai inherited Ryōshou's talent and Shiyin's hard work. Otherwise, who would I cry to?"

Fan Shou had a headache, "Shimomorph is getting worse and worse with each generation. Shimomorph can't be taught well. He is the heir of a barrier master family. What else can he do other than inherit the ancestral business?

Can he eat those comic books and models?

Can he continue to revitalize the Yukimura family?

This is ridiculous! "

"It's not impossible. Didn't Ryōshou dream of being a baker when he was young?"

Shimomorph tried to persuade the old man, "When he was young, he vowed to be a baker, and now he is the leader of the barrier masters in the Shinto World.

Look at him now, how long has it been since he last cooked? "

(Kumura Yoshimori: Achoo!)

"Shimomorph is different from Ryōshou," Kumura Shigeru snorted, "At least at that time, Ryōshou knew to follow in Shiyin's footsteps. But now, Shimomorph is completely unmotivated!

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 will be fine in the future. Shimomorph is still young."

"I can only hope that Shimomorph won't lead Kanai astray. But Kanai is a strong-willed child. It's impossible for her to be led astray."

The old man stood up and walked to Shimomorph'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 better than Mo Cun Yumo. In the future, the inheritance of the bloodline would not be cut off. When he reached the door of Mo Cun Yumo's room, he couldn't help quickening his pace when he heard the sound of a car whistling from the room.

"Shimomorph Shimomorph!

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.

The old man felt that he was about to have a heart attack.

After learning the news of Ōkubo and her father's death, Atobe locked himself in his room.

Everyone saw his expression at that time. Even the butler of the Atobe Family, who was the closest to him, didn't dare to disturb him.

The servants of the Atobe Family had to put the food on the dining cart and push it to the door of the Atobe's room when it was time to eat, hoping that he could eat some.

The young master of the Atobe Family was angry now, so all the servants in the villa were quiet and didn't dare to disturb their young master.

Keigo Atobe could lock himself in his room and avoid everything, but Kanai and Natori couldn't stay out of it. The curse was about to expire. Even if Ōkubo's family was dead, they still had to investigate.

If the curse was really caused by Aoi Okubo's resentment, there would be traces left behind.

Regarding this, as an adult who was used to seeing the discord between the upper echelons, Namu expressed his concern for the young witch.

After all, the little girl was only fourteen years old. Even if she was a witch, it wasn't good for her to see these things so early.

Kanai thanked Natori for her kindness. After all, from the case of Nana Nishimura, what she saw, heard, and felt in the secret room was enough for her to understand that the other side of the world wasn't as gentle as she thought.

A month ago, she always thought that as long as the balance between the demons and humans was maintained, the world would be peaceful and beautiful. Now that she thought about it, she felt that she was very naive and laughable.

Although until now, she was still brooding over the fact that she saved Nana Nishimura and let her go on trial.

If it wasn't for the fact that Ryōshou and Shiyin still needed Nana Nishimura to investigate the Black Light Tower, she would have regretted it long ago.

On the seventh night of the Atobe being cursed, Kanai brought Red Leaf and Kendo to guard outside Atobe's room. Natori evacuated the servants in Atobe's house and focused on drawing a few arrays in the Atobe's house.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Atobe was still silently flipping through the books in his room. Kanai and Natori heard a sudden clap of thunder in the night sky, followed by a heavy downpour.

The splashing rain drifted in through the window, and the strong wind blew back and forth, making the glass creak.

Red Leaf turned away in disgust, as if she hated the rain that would wet her makeup. Kanai had no choice but to walk forward and struggle to close the window.

On the other side, Natori braved the strong wind and the rain to close the other window.

Although she closed the window, she was still wet from the rain and wind. Natori took out a tissue and wiped her face.

Because his hair was still unbelievably messy, he made an apologetic gesture to Kanai and walked to Atobe's bathroom, intending to clean himself up.

Less than ten minutes after he left, the phone in the hallway suddenly rang.

The shrill ringing of the bell echoed in the empty, dark room for a moment before it abruptly stopped.

Kanai clenched the scepter in her hand and gave Red Leaf a look, asking her to sneak into Atobe's room and guard the depressed senior on the roof.

She picked up the scepter, pinched the talisman, and walked to the first floor where the lights were off.

The heavy raindrops hit the window, making a clattering sound. The wind came in through the gaps in the window, making a howling sound.

From time to time, lightning lit up the villa, and thunder roared.

In the quiet villa, only Kanna Hyuga's light footsteps could be heard. The little girl cautiously walked from the second floor to the first floor, approaching the landline in the main house.

An incredibly bright bolt of lightning suddenly illuminated the room as if it were daytime. In the blinding white light, Kanna saw a completely drenched woman standing next to the phone.

The woman's long hair covered her face, and her fingers were purple. Slowly, slowly, she raised her head to look at her.

"Rumble — —!"

Thunder roared, and the dark house was empty again. The woman who was looking at Kanai just now disappeared.

Only the pool of black water beside the landline proved that what she saw was not an illusion.

"… She's gone."

Kanai frowned, walked to the phone, stood where the woman was standing, and looked around the house.

She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but before she could figure it out, the phone rang again!

It wasn't just the phone in front of her that was ringing. All the landlines and cell phones in the house were ringing. The chaotic ringing was so loud that it made people dizzy. A white shadow quickly rushed out from the end of the corridor, accompanied by the panicked screams of the Spirit-branded Retainer.

"— — Hyuga -sama!

Please save my master!! "

Kukari's Spirit-branded Retainer hurriedly ran out in search of Kanna. The moment Kanna saw that something was wrong, she loudly called out Yao Yan's name as she rushed towards the bathroom where Yao Yan was.

As the phone rang louder and louder, they quickly rushed to the bathroom. Kendo arrived first and kicked the door open. When he saw Natori Monday was entangled by a woman's hair, he instantly pulled out his sword.

The sharp body easily cut through a lot of tangled hair. Yao Yan turned over and jumped on top of Ming Qu. The snow-white sword light cut through the black-haired woman's tangled hands.

Black blood gushed out. Yao Yan pushed Ming Qu behind him and leaned to the side to avoid the woman's hair that tried to curl around his hands and feet again. With an extremely fast speed, he slit the tip of the knife across the woman's neck.

"Clack, clack, clack …"

The woman's neck was strangely bent, and the black blood flowed down. She moved her throat as if she didn't feel anything, and rushed toward Kendo and Natori, who was coughing behind him.
