In the afternoon, Takegai Hori, wearing a bun, wooden geta and traditional kimono, was walking outside the cashier to calculate the accounts. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded at the door of the store.
She raised her head, and after seeing clearly who was coming, she sighed slightly and quickly stood up.
"Oh, Wen Mei-san, Mr. Nakagawa is very nice. I'm a rare guest. Please come in quickly!"
There were three people coming, and the one who walked out of the store first was a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a red witch costume, black hair, and a dignified and beautiful face.
Behind her were a middle-aged man wearing a suit and a majestic face, and a maid wearing a headscarf.
Those three people all knew each other.
Among them is a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a shrine maiden uniform. She is the current deputy director of the shrine maiden organization and the director of the House of Seven Lucky Gods. She is one of the eighteen spiritual generals of the island country and the legendary sword witch Kawashima Fumi, nicknamed the "Sword of Divine Power".
Among the "Eighteen Spiritual Generals" selected by the Japanese media, Kawashima Fumi, who is a peak seventh-level swordsman in his own right, was rated as the strongest in close combat among the Eighteen Spiritual Generals.
Because he combined superb swordsmanship with unpredictable witchcraft, he created a powerful offensive swordsmanship called "The Divine Power Sword Technique", which was so invincible that it was hailed as the "Supernatural Sword" by the island country's media.
Rumor has it that she once met Shuten Doji, one of the three demon kings in the island country, who was famous for his physical strength.
After fighting with him, he actually relied on his magical swordsmanship to sustain three deep sword wounds in the body of the demon king who was one level higher than him, and finally managed to escape completely.
After this battle, the name of her "Supernatural Sword" resounded throughout the island nation.
At the same time, she is also Nakagawa Yung's master, and Nakagawa Yung is her only direct disciple.
The middle-aged man in a suit is Nakagawa Tsukasa, Nakagawa's father, and the chairman of a certain group company in Japan.
This company is inextricably linked to the three major ghost-killing organizations, and it is said that Nakagawa himself has the bloodline of a certain ancient ghost-killing master family.
As for Chengdong's maid, did she have a relationship with her before? If I remember correctly, should she be called Maoyue?
Seeing that lineup, Takegai was very confused as to the purpose of the three red people's visit. They must be Nakagawa Yu.
Because since last month's Shinjuku demon extermination incident ended, Nakagawa Yu has disappeared without a trace.
After the barrier subsided, the witch agency specially sent people to conduct a blanket search in the area, but still could not find the whereabouts of Nakagawa Yu.
However, the life tablet of Nakagawa Yu, which was kept outside the shrine, was intact, indicating that she was not dead.
As a result, not only did the Miko Organization explode, but the entire circle of spirit exterminators in the island country was shaken.
Who is Zhongchuan Xunfu?
Could that be a new star in the world of witch witch organizations and even the entire island nation's exorcists?
He is the youngest national second-level spiritual master in the island country in a century.
Is he also the most promising to become a national first-level spiritual master before the age of twenty-five, surpassing the peerless genius of the youngest great onmyoji of Onmyoji, Abe Tsuda?
Such a peerless genius actually disappeared inexplicably during a demon-catching operation. How could this not cause a shock in the circle of spirit slayers?
The higher-ups of the spirit-killing organization all know that Nakagawa Yu wanted to hunt down the demon king that time, and with the help of the Barrier Goddess Takegai Hori, there was almost no danger.
In addition, geniuses themselves can get a lot of pampering and preferential treatment, so the three major ghost removal agencies tacitly approved Nakagawa Yu's action of hunting down the demon king.
But who knows, it won't be like that.
Therefore, she was not surprised when Chuanxu's master and father showed up at the door.
"I'm sorry, Wen Mei-san, Mr. Nakagawa. It was his negligence that time. I didn't expect that something like that would happen."
After leading the three people through the door and walking east, Takegai once again hung the sign "Our store is closed" before he came to the three people and bowed slightly.
"Whatever Hori-san said, I was originally asked to arrange the barrier that time.
After the barrier was sealed, I myself had already left, so that incident didn’t bother me!”
Kawashima Fumi immediately stood up and took two steps forward to help Takegai up.
Both are one of the Eighteen Spiritual Generals, and they are similar in age, so they are familiar with each other.
The two of them have known each other since they were young, went to school together, and had ghosts together. It would be no exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts.
Although since Takegai retired, the two have less contact.
But as an old friend, Kawashima naturally wouldn't blame Takegai for that incident. Besides, if he came over tomorrow, he would ask the wrong person for help.
"No, it's all my fault that my daughter is good at making decisions, and it's not your fault."
Nakagawa Yung's father is obviously not the same.
After the three of them walked away again, Kawashima didn't show any politeness and went straight to the point:
"Actually, they have already found some clues about the whereabouts of Xun. When you come here, why don't you ask Suili to help me?"
"What are you going to do? I said..."
Zhuwai nodded and said solemnly.
No matter what Bu Shen said, that matter had something to do with him, so he couldn't ask for help no matter what.
Unfortunately, Kawashima did not reply to her directly.
But Bu turned his eyes to the maid Uo Yue standing next to him, changed his previous gentle tone, and said sternly:
"Maoyue, why am I standing there in a daze? I don't want to take out my things!"
At that moment, Takegai also turned his attention to Uoyuki and noticed something strange.
Mao Yue did not go east.
She remembered to prepare three seats before, but Uoyue did not take any seats.
Of course, when the master is having a conversation, the maid will not sit down.
But when Uoyue and Nakagawa Yung came, Nakagawa Yung asked her to go east together and allowed her to eat cake together.
Compared to now, the scene where Kawashima scolds Uzuki would be completely different.
Moreover, Uzuki seemed to be very afraid of Kawashima Fumi, as her body started to tremble after being scolded like that.
"Oh, okay, Lord Kawashima!"
Maoyue shakily took out a few photos from a small bag. Perhaps because she was too scared, her legs shook and she accidentally dropped a few photos.
When Nakagawa Uzumaki's father saw that scene, he stood up directly, stretched out his legs and slapped Uzuki hard.
Snapped--!
"That stupid monster of mine can't do anything well. I really don't know why his daughter would take me in!"
After scolding Maoyue, Nakagawa turned around again, leaned out of the way and said:
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. He didn't want my little girl to take in a demon as a servant for a long time, but my little girl is kind-hearted and soft-hearted, so she just didn't listen.
The so-called people who are not from his clan must have different minds. Monsters and monsters are all cruel and murderous. That kind of kindness will bring about bad consequences in the first place..."
After listening to Nakagawa Si's words, Takewai's expression did not change, but he sighed slightly in his heart.
Indeed, this does not reflect the current situation of human society, nor does it reflect the views of most people.
Demons are not the enemies of human beings. If you encounter them, you should kill them. Otherwise, I will be harmed by demons.
That theory might have been correct 200 years ago.
But as soon as it dawned, the demons had long been defeated, and every month was not as good as the previous month, and the moon was thinning.
The demons are all hiding. Except for a few who are very harmful to humans, most demons will be extremely afraid of humans when they see them.
So, do you really want to kill them all?
Is there no way to peaceful coexistence?
Takegai Hori doesn't know the answer.
As far as she was concerned, at least after that incident, she no longer wanted to continue killing demons, so she chose to retire.
But while she was sighing, Kawashima had already taken the photos from Uzuki's legs, handed them to her and said:
"Let me take a look at those photos first!"
There are six photos in total, all of which are portraits. In each photo, there is a handsome young man under the age of twenty.
Takegai took the photo and didn't have time to examine it carefully, but he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.
So... Mr. Haoren?
The story of Nakagawa Yu's Fall... is different from Hoshino, so to speak, it's not that simple!
