Chapter 807 Kamaitachi
Xiaolu usually loves to share his daily experiences with his master, such as what happened in school, his own insights and progress in spiritual practice... Whenever he has time, he will tell Shen Gu about it, and he won't stop talking.
However, what she showed Kamiya Kawa right now should not be considered "daily" content.
"what happened?"
"It's like this, Master." Shikanoya began to explain everything that happened today:
"When I saw Naxun at school today, I smelled some strange smell on her. Then I asked Naxun if she had encountered anything strange recently. She thought for a while and told me that three days ago, on Friday evening, she found a very beautiful but injured little weasel in a park in Bunkyo District."
"Naxun bandaged the weasel's wound. Then when she went to the park again the next day, the weasel was very human and came out to see her again."
"So, I asked Naxun to take me to the park after school. In order not to alert the enemy, I kept a certain distance from Naxun and dealt with the smell on my body."
"Then, the weasel really appeared, just as I filmed it. The result was just as I thought, Nahiro encountered a monster again! That weasel-like creature, I smelled the scent of a strange story on it, the same kind that Akimichi had."
"It seems like your friend always encounters strange things?" Kamiya took another look at his apprentice's cell phone.
"That's right!" The little deer nodded in agreement. "However, this weasel doesn't seem to have any ill will towards Naxun. Not only me, but Grandpa Xiaoxiao also thinks so."
The little old man has a strong sense of danger and can see clearly the hidden hostility and malice.
When he was still a very weak little monster, it was thanks to this talent that he was able to survive in the world full of monsters, until he met Kamiyagawa.
Since even the scouts felt that the weasel had no ill will toward the fawn's friends, there shouldn't be any problem.
And judging by the interaction between the weasel and Akimichi Nahiro——
Because Akimichi bandaged the weasel's wound, the weasel showed obvious affection towards Akimichi.
Regardless of whether human treatment methods are effective on monsters, the weasel must have felt the kindness released by Akimichi Nahiro.
The fact that it can do this means that it is a monster that can communicate.
Kamiyagawa: "This is the Kamaitachi your friend encountered this time?"
Kanaya: "Yeah! I think so too!"
Kamaitachi, a traditional ghost story.
In most of the related ghost stories, it is considered to be a monster related to wind. And this kind of monster is often a group ghost story, usually three sickle itachi act together.
In Gifu Prefecture, there is a saying that the three sickle-weasels are three brothers. They move very quickly. The eldest usually holds a big stick and will trip pedestrians; the second one holds a sickle and will cut the pedestrians' skin; and the youngest one holds a medicine jar and will apply plasters that can heal the pedestrians' wounds instantly.
In addition, some people say that the three kamaitachi are in a parent-child relationship.
In short, even if ordinary people encounter sickle weasels and are scratched by them, they will not feel pain or even notice the wound. Generally speaking, they just feel an incredible whirlwind blowing by, fall down, and nothing happens when they get up again.
It is basically a group of monsters that do not pose much harm to humans and like to play mischief.
Kannoya: "After that, I asked Xiaoxiao Grandpa's clone to follow the sickle-itachi. Also, I asked Xiaoxiao Grandpa to send another clone to follow Naxun for the next two days."
Kamiya had told his apprentice long ago that if necessary, he could make appropriate arrangements with the scouts following him.
At the moment, the ugly woman Quanjin is lying dormant, and the little old man's army of clones still has enough space, so it would be no problem to send out another clone to keep an eye on Xiaolu's friends for a while.
"what are you planning to do?"
Kamiya still knows his eldest disciple very well.
This girl was not only dispatching the little old man's body, but also reporting to me. It was obvious that she had some ideas in mind.
"Master, don't you think so?" Xiaolu's pair of black eyes suddenly sparkled. "If it's really Kamaitachi, it's very suitable to be my shikigami! It can control the wind and cooperate with my incense magic! You see, the fighting cooperation between Xiaokui and Xiaosote is very cool."
"Ah……"
Kamiya had a slight smile on his face and pondered for a moment.
No wonder he just said something like “I don’t want to alert the enemy”, it turns out the little fawn had this in mind.
Perhaps she saw that Tsurumi's training of Kosode-te was effective, and the cooperation between the man and the monster was beginning to show signs of success, so she was a little itchy. She thought about getting herself a shikigami that could cooperate with her own spells, so that she could perform exciting combination skills in future exorcism battles.
That’s pretty good, at least it shows that the little deer is quite motivated.
This is the benefit of training two apprentices, they will compare themselves with each other and seek self-improvement.
Then, coming back to the topic -
The deer seems to be particularly fond of strange stories about animals?
If Mimiko Kappa is considered a turtle, then all of her shikigami are animal companions.
The sickle-itachi that I took a fancy to this time was also of this type.
This girl probably really wants to create a zoo of weird stories.
"Any plans?"
"Not yet, actually. There are still some issues that we haven't figured out." Xiaolu shook his head honestly. "Generally speaking, sickle-tails usually move in groups of three, right? But Naxun only encountered one. If there are only two other sickle-tails, we have to find where they are first so that we can catch them all in one fell swoop! Also, the sickle-tail in the park was injured, but we don't know what injured it yet, which is also very worrying."
"Um……"
All at once?
I don't know where the deer learned this "weird talker"-like habit from...
However, what she said was correct, and she basically noticed all the problems that needed to be noticed.
Although this girl always acts careless, she is actually very meticulous.
You follow me in this respect, you are worthy of being my apprentice!
"I have other things to do and cannot be away. So, after the old man sends back new information, you can act according to your own judgment. Oh, by the way, if your junior sister is free, bring her along."
Kamiya rarely acted like a master and gave instructions.
"Good~"
The little deer was allowed to move freely, and hummed happily. Then he blinked and looked at his master, but kept his mouth shut and said nothing more.
That's it.
It’s time for the disciples to try to handle some things completely independently, and with Xiaolu’s strength, she should be able to do many things well.
As for Kamiya, he had just finished his exploration of Mizuho Province, so he actually had nothing important to do for the time being.
So at most, you just need to go and take a look at your disciples slightly, gently, and quietly.
