Although tanukis are loved by humans, they are still too weak as monsters. Any monsters are their natural enemies, so they generally live not far from humans and use human power to control them.

monster.

However, tanukis are still monsters after all, and they will inevitably interact with other monsters.

Although they have the strongest body, ghosts are the most miserable among the three kinds of monsters. Therefore, they naturally have a dissatisfied attitude towards little monsters like tanuki.

How come the weak civet cats can live a good life, with food and drink, but powerful ghosts like myself can only live in the mountains and forests?

The Tengu are not dissatisfied with the civet cats, but they think it is a shame for the civet cats to mix with humans. They generally look down on the civet cats, keep to themselves, and disdain to associate with them.

Of course, the tanuki knows the attitude of the tengu and ghost towards him.

What they like most is to imitate humans, so they imitate humans and bring gifts and gifts to visit powerful tengu and ghosts, worship them as their teachers, respect them, and take the initiative to get to know them, just like a weak country facing a powerful one.

The country pays tribute generally.

This is the survival wisdom of tanukis. Since you are weak, let yourself be in the same camp with powerful monsters and let them be your protection umbrella.

Although the ghosts were dissatisfied with the civet cats, since they all smiled and surrendered and brought gifts to pay tribute, it was not easy for them to get angry, so they let the civet cats go and accepted the civet cats' offerings every month.

Get some fresh gadgets in your hands.

The same goes for Tengu. Since the tanukis keep their posture very low, they will not actively attack the tanukis. They will even act as witnesses in some large-scale memorial ceremonies for the tanukis.

This is the Yokai ecosystem in Kyoto.

Kamogoshita Mikasa narrated all this, and finally added: "Shuten-douji is the most powerful monster in Kyoto. I once brought a gift to see her, so she knows me."

Uesawa Palace understood: "So, if that's the case, why are you worried about seeing Shuten Douji? According to what you said, she shouldn't be targeting you, right?"

Mikasa lowered her head, as if it was difficult to speak, but she hesitated for a moment and answered Uesawa Miya.

"We civet cats have the blood of fools. No matter how powerful the other party is, once they get familiar with it, they will become wanton."

On this point, Sawamiya agrees. Even among monsters, Kamogoshita Mikasa is the most familiar one. Not only is she not afraid of humans, she can even make friends with monsters.

"Once, when I was going to the mountains to pay tribute to the ghosts, I turned into a raccoon cat during the banquet and danced for the entertainment of the drinking ghosts.

Shuten-sama left the table early and was not present. I listened to the cheers and boos of the ghosts, and for a moment I felt carried away. Then I boldly jumped onto Shuten-sama’s table, and then accidentally drank Shuten-sama.

The Lord's wine was mixed into the wine jar...

I didn't know at the time that the glass of Shuten-sama's wine was full of toxins, which made all the ghosts drink it. After the banquet, except for Shuten-sama, all the ghosts who participated in the banquet drank too much and lay on the ground.

I couldn't move for two whole days..."

Mikasa hesitated and spoke.

"After that day, I didn't dare to see Shuten-sama. I kept avoiding her. I didn't even dare to go on the streets of Kyoto, and left all the matters of worship to other tribesmen.

It wasn't until later that I heard that Shuten-sama had left, that I started to get active. Unexpectedly, I would see Shuten-sama again..."

Uesawa Miya was also paralyzed by Shuten Doji's wine, and he felt the same way as those ghosts. If he hadn't been rescued by Ouna Kinoko, he wouldn't have been able to move in bed for who knows how long. He could understand the anger of those ghosts.

It turned out that something was going on. No wonder Mikasa didn't dare to see Shuten.

"I understand, then you should leave first. It would be really difficult if Shuten-doji sees him..." Kamisawa Miya held his forehead, and he understood the reason why Mikasa was afraid of Shuten.

"Boss, I'll leave first. Just ask me if you need me!" Mikasa breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to run away, the door to room 102 was opened.

Maybe it was because the teammates who went out didn't come back for a long time, Shuten Doji walked out of the box. At this time, it was too late for Kamoi and Mikasa to run away.

"I asked why you didn't come. It turns out there are so many people here." Shuten Doji walked towards the bar.

"Boss, Ao Gui was drunk, that's why I didn't go back!" Chi Gui quickly opened his mouth to clear the air.

Shuten Doji ignored him, his eyes were always focused on Uesawa Miya, with a smile on his face: "Uesawa-kun, I didn't expect you to be here. Are you here to see me?"

"No, I'm just here to hang out with friends, what about you?"

"I'm just like you. I just came out to play for two days and meet these subordinates."

Mikasa has been hiding behind Kamizawa Palace, trying not to be seen by Shuten Douji.

However, Shuten Douji seemed to have noticed her a long time ago. His eyes shifted from Uesawa Miya to Kamogoshita Mikasa. With a smile on his face, he said with deep meaning: "Little tanuki, you didn't get along with me when I came here last time.

I say hello."

Hearing this, Mikasa trembled all over, immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered her head: "Master Shuten, I had something important to do last time and I didn't see you. I'm very sorry, please forgive me.

Chance!"

Mikasa surrendered so quickly that no one could react.

"You still know you made a mistake..."

Shuten Doji smoothly took down a glass of wine prepared by Yuna on the bar, squatted in front of Kamoishi Mikasa, and raised her chin, "So, tell me, how should I punish you? You haven't appeared for a long time.

In front of me, I was looking for you for a long time."

Mikasa's voice sounded panicked: "Shuten-sama, I'm so sorry! I'll just let you be punished!"

"Is any punishment okay? Then... I want to have a civet cat hotpot, so I'll use you as the raw material. You are so lively and active, wouldn't it taste good if you cooked it?"

Although Shuten Doji smiled, her eyes were serious and did not look like she was joking at all.

Mikasa immediately felt like she was facing an ice cellar. She quickly rolled on the spot and hid behind Uesawa Miya. She grabbed his leg and trembled and called for help: "Boss, help me! I don't want to be eaten yet!"

Although Kamoimo Mikasa just said that she was very happy and she was willing to be punished. But she didn’t want to be cooked like a hot pot! Although some tanukis would happily face their own death, she didn’t want to die yet!

After all, Kamoishita Mikasa was considered his friend, so Kamisawa Miya naturally couldn't sit idly by and watch Shuten Douji throw her into the hot pot.

He has never eaten civet cat hot pot and doesn't know how it tastes.

Uesawa Miya looked directly at Shuten: "Shuten, I know that Kamo Ixia made a mistake, but is it too much to cook her as an ingredient?"

"This is what she said. She agreed no matter how I punished her. Are she scared now?" Shuten Dozi straightened up and took a sip of the wine in his hand. A blush appeared on his face. He looked up with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
