The ancient capital city, once a place of great glory, Kyoto.

Although the modern era is slightly declining, it still has a strong foundation.

Because it was in the eye of the storm before, it is now much calmer than other places.

Neither the committee nor any other people or forces can be too harsh on this place that has just suffered.

Every family in the local area has suffered a lot of damage, and it's time to lick their wounds, so the Kansai "Hyakki Night Parade" who made a big fuss has a chance to breathe without being driven out and killed.

What's interesting is that the base camp of Kansai's "Hyakki Night Parade" is actually very close to Kyoto. I don't know if it's due to "darkness under the lamp" or something else, but it's located in a bleak place halfway up a mountain, half of which is a cemetery.

land.

After losing their leader, while King Asakura Ye was attacking the Abe family, the cadres led the remaining Hyakki to break out and finally retreated to the base camp without any danger.

Because there is no leader, there are quite a lot of differences within the monsters. Many monsters choose to leave, but some choose to stay because Hagoromo Kitsune is still alive.

They believe that this monster who has died eight times can be resurrected and lead them in a more powerful manner, just like she once did.

Commander, the one who supports these monsters is Hagoromo Kitsune's cronies, the youngest cadre in "Hyakuki Night Walk", the great monster, and the crazy bone in the shape of a lolita.

"Sister will definitely come back."

"Before my sister comes back, we must guard her whereabouts."

This is Kuang Gu’s belief, and it is also the belief of the remaining monsters.

Every night at night, Kuanggu would patrol the territory to encourage the monsters, and he was even more energetic today.

"New Year's Day is coming soon, get up and clean up quickly. What if my sister comes back and sees the mess here and she's unhappy? Hurry up, do you want to be beaten?"

While talking, he took a broom, rag and other cleaning tools with him like a strong wind passing by.

Although she has a loli appearance, she is actually a bone monster. She can only use her hands and feet, which is too small to underestimate her.

Since he is a cadre, of course he has to contract the largest area.

It's a pity that the skeleton demon is not here, otherwise it could take over most of it by itself.

But you can't blame it. It had another owner before onee-sama. It didn't forget onee-sama even after it went to Tokyo. It has been passing information here to let Kuang Gu and other monsters know that onee-sama has not forgotten them and is also working hard to practice.

.

In contrast, some guys are real assholes.

He even used Abe Seimei's name to split the "Hyakki Night Parade".

The "Hundred Ghosts Night Parade" thousands of years ago has nothing to do with us. All we care about is my sister.

Besides, you, a son, treat your own mother like this, and you still want us to follow you!!!

Although my father passed away, he remained loyal to my sister until his death and taught me to do so. Who do you think you are?

It's not that he can't beat Kidomaru, Kuanggu has already used snakes to eat the eyes of these ungrateful monsters. Anyway, these guys are all blind.

I get angry when I think of this crazy person, I am so useless.

Onee-sama shouldn't come back because of this, right?

No, definitely not.

If I become discouraged, what will the other monsters do?

The New Year is coming soon, and I must cheer up.

Let’s have a banquet first to liven up the atmosphere.

This is also the tradition of monsters.

Kuanggu works extra hard, strives to be the best, and strives to show his best side.

She was the organizer of the banquet, and she was also responsible for the aftermath. She cleaned up everything, and even sent condolences to the little monsters guarding the door, letting them rest while she guarded the door herself.

The little monsters were very moved and said that Kuang Gu was the best cadre, but only Kuang Gu himself knew this.

She not only thinks about the monsters, but also has selfish motives.

At least, at least on the first day of the new year, let me watch over my sister here.

Even if it's just a dream, even if I know it's unlikely that my sister will come back.

"sister……"

The big demon in the shape of a loli sat on the ground, hugging his knees.

It will be dawn soon, the worst time for monsters.

Kuang Gu’s mood also dropped.

Just then, she heard a dreamlike voice.

"Are you...crying? Kuang Gu. I remember you said that after my father returned to darkness, he stopped crying."

"No, I'm not crying." Kuang Gu quickly wiped his eyes, stood up, and stared straight ahead.

There, there is the owner of the voice, a familiar yet strange presence.

The strangeness is because the figure in the kudzu leaf kimono has been seen too few times, the familiarity is because of the aura, the unique fear, the warm "darkness" that makes people look up.

"sister……"

"What's the matter, Kuang Gu, why don't you come to my side?"

Even if he has lost his body, even if he is no longer strong, he is still irreplaceable to Kuang Gu as his elder sister.

"Sister!!!" Kuang Gu could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart and threw himself into Kuzu Yehu's arms, "Oh oh oh, I'm not dreaming."

"No monster would be bold enough to disguise me here."

Ge Yehu replied domineeringly. After working for thousands of years for his children, he thought nothing had changed, but after all, a lot had changed. His previous self would not have said such things.

"Hmm, whoever dares to do this, Kuang Gu will definitely give him a bad death." Kuang Gu said with tears and snot in his nose, "Sister, welcome home."

"I'm back. I'm sorry for coming back so late."

Kuzu Yehu gently stroked the girl's head, then turned his head to look at the young man standing quietly in the distance behind him.

You're right, I still have a place to go, and it's not time to give up on myself yet.

"No, no, it would be great if onee-sama can come back. Please wait a moment, onee-sama, and I will wake everyone up to celebrate the New Year together."

"etc."

Guan Junyan, who had been watching all the time, spoke, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the Buddha and Luo swords sheathed at his waist.

"Huh?"

"What are you doing?"

Kuanggu and Geyehu were both surprised.

"New Year's gift. Your soul has stabilized and can survive well without my spiritual power. You have also obtained the orthodox training method of the Fox clan. From now on, you can practice well in your lair. If it is too weak, you will not even be able to survive."

It’s impossible to stand in front of Abe Seimei.”

Guan Junyan's gentle smile complemented the first ray of sunshine behind him, adding warmth to the cold winter day.

"Guan Junyan..."

Kuzu Yehu moved her feet. Because she had always been by his side, she knew very well that although the boy had opened up the situation, the situation was still not good.

The matter of the fragments of the Killing Stone, the cursed forbidden path, the strange movements of the Buddhist alliance, the hidden Abe Gonmon Temple, and several spies that even she didn't see the roots of.

She once thought that this trip to the west was to gather the subordinates who were still loyal to her and use them for her, but now——

"Don't worry, I will call you when I beat your son. It doesn't matter to me. There are not many other things. There is never a shortage of weapons. Also, if Qinzi sends a message, the skeleton demon will be here soon. Enjoy the time to reunite with your family. I

There are things to do, so I won’t be an eyesore here.”

At that time in Kyoto, the one who fought the most vicious monsters was Guan Junyan.

Turning around and going down the mountain, I suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind coming from behind my head. I stretched out my hand to catch it and found it was a skeleton, as black as ink, exuding strong demonic power and fear.

Turning around again, Guan Junyan looked at the demon king in the form of a girl with confusion: "This is -?"

"This is a magic weapon I made with my own bones, and it is also something that many blacksmiths want very much. It is a bit arrogant to replace my sister with this, but - at least let me return the gift. Thank you very much for protecting my sister.

, I will never forget your great kindness."

Kuang Gu said and bowed respectfully, which also made Guan Junyan confirm once again that most monsters are innocent and cute guys.

"I've accepted my thoughts and things. Take good care of your sister. When the time comes, let's go together to beat the unfilial son. Let's go."

This time, he really left.
