"No, such a small place can produce so many monster legends. It seems that the level of oppression of women in ancient Japan was really high." Linton was heading towards the antique shop at this time.
Let’s go, he couldn’t help but said.
In his hand was something called "Yōkai Illustrated Book" that he had just bought in a bookstore. Yes, it was a book that introduced many monsters that were popular in Japan.
Isn't this about creating monsters based on existing legends? Linton just bought this book for reference, after all, he didn't know much before.
The few that Linton could know were the Yamata-no-Orochi, Nine-tailed Fox, Shuten-dōji and the like that often appeared in anime and games. There were also the ones that were widely circulated, such as Kappa Hanako.
After flipping through this book a few times, I realized that there are so many strange monsters in Japan.
The reason why this matter is related to the degree of oppression of women in ancient times is that there are only three reasons for the birth of these monsters.
One is human beings' fear of something unknown, such as the echo in the mountains. Ancient people couldn't figure out what was going on, so they made up a monster called echo. Another example is the cyclone phenomenon, which corresponds to a monster called sickle.
Weasel monster.
The second is some stories made up for the convenience of educating children. To put it simply, if you don't obey, you will be picked up by wolves, if you go to the river to play, you will be caught by water monkeys, etc. It is for the benefit of the children, but it also says
I didn’t understand, so I made it up to scare children.
Finally, I thought that the social status of women in ancient times was too low. In order to make others afraid, I made up some stories to intimidate others. The purpose was probably to make the other party have some scruples when they ruined themselves, and not to go too far.
Situations like "I will turn into a grudge ghost and haunt you even if I die". Of course, if the other person doesn't believe in grudge ghosts, then he won't be afraid, right. So many women have made up a lot of similar stories.
Monster legend.
There are so many monster legends in this area in Japan. It can even be said that most of the monsters whose gender can be determined are basically female. What about snow girls, wet girls, rain girls, split mouth girls, two mouth girls... highlight
What it means is that after a woman dies, she can easily turn into an evil spirit and harm others, so don’t bully women casually.
Especially the last part is really confusing to people who watch it too much. Isn’t this a complaint only made by Linton?
"Damn, I should have known that I would play the good guy. No, I am already a good guy and there is no need to play the good guy. If you want to find a way to make Aizen die, I will play the role of the second priest?" Linton was too lazy to read and started to wonder.
way.
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from the front: "Mr. Linton?"
Linton looked up and saw three familiar people. Yes, Linton knew the three people in front of him. Except for Kurase Mayumi, whom he had met not long ago, the other two were the male protagonist Yukihira Soma and the previous accommodation training student.
The student who is also in exam room A is named Mito Yumei.
"Is it you?" Yukihira Soma didn't expect to see Linton here. He looked at the direction Linton was going, which seemed to be the direction of the old commercial street. Then he looked at Mayumi Kurase next to him and asked, "
Do you know him?"
Yes, the person who just called Linton was Mayumi Kurase. Soma Yukihira knew Linton because of the residential training, but Mayumi Kurase was not from Totsuki Academy. How did she know Linton?
"Yes, Mr. Linton should be the clerk of Sanshouya...right?" Mayumi Kurase asked with some uncertainty after finishing speaking, because Linton just briefly mentioned his name when they met before. Basically,
It was Aizen who was chatting with her. She only knew that Aizen was the new owner of the antique shop, and it seemed that she really didn't know what Linton was like.
"The clerk of Sanshoya?" Soma Yukihira knew of course that Sanshoya was on the same street. But he obviously felt a little strange about Linton's strange identity. Judging from the previous situation, Linton couldn't possibly belong to the same family.
An antique store clerk.
"I'm not a store clerk, but Aizen is my friend. I just came to Tokyo recently and came to visit him." Linton said casually.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood." Mayumi Kurase said immediately, and then said to Soma Yukihira next to her, "Mr. Aizen is the new owner of Sanshouya."
"New store owner? What about Uncle Sada?" Souma Yukihira asked.
"It should be... back to the countryside." Mayumi Kurase said in a low voice.
"Is this...?" Yukihira Soma didn't seem suspicious. After all, he hadn't been back for a while. He just came back today during the holiday. He didn't know very well what happened on the commercial street, so he thought
Uncle Sada has been away for a long time. As for the reason, it is naturally due to the recent depression in the old commercial street, and many stores cannot survive.
It seemed that he had to turn the situation around this time, and Souma Yukihira also made up his mind.
"You look familiar." Linton pointed at Mito Yumei and said.
"This is Meimei, and she is also a student of Totsuki Academy. Mr. Linton should have seen her." Soma Yukihira, who was standing next to him, took the initiative to introduce him.
"Why is it called a name that seems to trigger keyword review?" Linton said.
"Who called this name! Don't spread this name around for me, or I'll kill you!" Mito Yumei yelled directly, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Linton, "My name is Mito Yumei, not
What a flesh charm. Please give me some advice, Mr. Linton."
Mito Yumei obviously knows Linton. Although Linton has never taken any action at all, students who have participated in residential training now basically know that Linton's men killed the graduates, and they feel that after discussing in private
Linton must be a very good cook, that's why Mito Yumei respects him so much.
"Huh? Does the charming senior also know Mr. Linton?" Mayumi Kurase next to her asked strangely.
"So I told you that I don't call you by that name at all. Who told you to call me?" Mito Yumei yelled, "And I'm a freshman in high school like you, why do you call me senior?"
"Huh? Huh? I forgot that I am already a high school student." Kurase Mayumi suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"Don't bully Kurase, you Meimei." said Yukihira Soma next to him.
"I'm the one being bullied, okay? I've been given strange nicknames." Mito Yumei said excitedly.
Linton looked at the clear yet stupid eyes of the two girls, and suddenly felt that the male protagonist Yukihei Souji was not particularly easy to attract with this type of physique. He was still trying to join the Justice League, so he couldn't give it to these guys anyway.
