"Thank you."

Munechika stood firmly on the ground, and Natori Shuichi finally let go of his hand.

As the monster's resentment dissipated, it separated from the boy's body and fell to the ground not far away.

Even the lower half of her face was covered by a mask, and her golden eyes looked cold at first glance, but actually contained warmth. She was very tall, so when she looked at Natsume Munechika, she had to lower her head slightly.

When Munechika saw the mask covering the lower half of the man's face, he was dazed for a moment.

That was an "origin" from who knows how long ago, and it has become blurred and faded.

The memory has long been fragmented and unclear.

[“Munechika, can I ask you to take care of the apricot tree?”

As one of the Eight Pillars, known as the Guardian Munechika, the young man wore a 'God of the Earth' mask that covered the lower half of his face below the eyes, and he half-knelt with his eyes closed and nodded.

"Yes, sir."

…

"Master Natsume, can I become your shikigami?"

The monster's words brought him back to his senses. After reacting, Munechika shook his head slightly and refused decisively: "I'm sorry, I don't plan to take in a shikigami."

He refused too quickly and too firmly, and Natori Shuichi looked at him in surprise.

Natori Shuichi was not surprised that Natsume Munechika refused. When he went to investigate before, it was obvious that most of the monsters wanted to follow Munechika, but in the end they all stayed. It could only be that the young man refused their request to follow him.

So he was even more curious as to why Munechika refused so decisively.

Based on his understanding of the boy's temperament, he rarely refused in such an unkind way - at least he should have a look of embarrassment.

There was no hesitation on Natsume Munechika's face. He was too determined to refuse the monster from becoming his shikigami.

The monster intertwined his hands and exhaled the breath that had just stopped due to nervousness.

She smiled with her eyes crooked. That smile was a little disappointed, but also full of rightness, just like what she said: "You really didn't agree."

When she was still in Natsume Munechika's body, as the black mist gradually dissipated, she occasionally woke up and saw Natsume Munechika reject many monsters.

She knew it was not an easy task, but it would be a pity to give up without even trying.

"My name is 'Xing', Natsume-sama, and you can call me by my name anytime if you wish.

Wherever you are, I will come.”

As a shikigami, I know how

How could she use words to connect the small bond? She took off the golden teardrop-shaped earrings from her ears and placed them in Munechika's hands as a sincere blessing.

"I wish you good luck in military affairs."

After saying this, fortunately he didn't linger for long, he took a step back and disappeared.

Munechika was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the other party was a monster who could hide from others as long as he didn't want to be seen.

This makes it even more sad that Xing was caught.

"This is actually... a short-term temporary contract, probably left by the previous owner."

"He seems to be a person who is quite good with shikigami."

A low voice sounded in his ear. Munechika put away the golden water drop and helplessly turned his head to Natori Shuichi who was close to his ear: "This is all right, right?"

The monsters will no longer be a burden to him.

If this were a story, this would be a happy ending.

Who would have thought that Natori Shuji would raise an eyebrow, grab Munechika's arm and say with a smile: "No, how could that be? I just purified the resentment of the monster. Your body has not been checked yet."

The smile was so sinister that the hairs on Zongqin's body stood up.

"How dare you use your body to bear the curse and resentment of the monster? Who is your guide as a demon hunter? You are so reckless."

He looked as if he would definitely beat him up if he found out.

Munechika: ...There is no problem with the examination, but could you please not speak in such a way that could cause misunderstanding?

Back to the hotel, after checking.

Natsume Munechika picked up the shirt on the bed and put it on. His fingertips nimbly buttoned it up from bottom to top and sighed, "I told you it's okay."

"You're lucky to be okay." Natori Shuichi hit Natsume Munechika on the head with the toilet paper with a bad look on his face.

"Hmm..." Damn it, there's no way to refute it.

After all, no one else could endure this for so long, let alone purify the resentment from the monster.

After becoming a demon slayer, the more Natsume Munechika learns and observes, the more he discovers the differences between himself and others.

No one has such great demonic power as him, no one has a physique like him, no one can take medicine that is effective against monsters and still have it work, and no one can be sure that they will not be affected by the resentment of monsters.

Perhaps that was why, until he fully understood the difference, his...adoptive father never let him leave the house.

In fact, even Munechika often had nightmares at night during the period of his bad luck.

"Mr. Natori

What are your plans next?

Knowing that the other party came for him, since he had met him before and the monster on his body had been dealt with, Munechika put on his clothes and asked casually.

"Yes, I took three days off."

Natori said this, his eyes fell on Munechika, and said, "Natsume has to go to school, and since you don't have anything to do...would you like to come with me again?"

"Um?"

"There are quite a few requests piled up at the meeting. They said it would be great if I could lend a hand. Those were the exact words in the text message." Natori Zhouqi took out his cell phone and waved it.

Natsume Munechika looked at him.

He remembered that Natori Shuichi did not get along well with most demon hunters, not only because of his family background, but also because of Natori Shuichi's actions.

For a demon hunter, he was far too indecisive.

"Okay." After all, we are all demon hunters, so there is nothing we can't go to. It's a good opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the demon hunter skills that appeared in our memories.

Hmm...

The only problem is that Natsume Takashi seems to be looking forward to meeting me again today.

So Munechika immediately changed the subject: "Well, will you come back tonight? If you do, we can go together."

It's easy.

Natori said on Monday that he could just choose a nearby commission and the round trip would only take two hours at most by car, so it was no big deal.

This way, you don't have to cancel the room.

They left without hesitation. Since they were staying nearby and would be back at night, neither of them needed to pack anything. Munechika still remembered the fat chick who was sleeping soundly in the room, so he entrusted the little bird to the care of the hotel proprietress. After paying some extra money, he set off with his cell phone money in his hands.

In the car, Natori Shuichika described the content of the commission to Munechika.

"Check the seal of the shrine, find the monsters in the hotel and eliminate them, and remove the curse..."

He read out a long list of requests from the destination town, about a dozen in number, and then said to Munechika, "Which ones do you want to choose from here?"

Zongjin, who was listening quietly, replied subconsciously: "Ah, aren't we going to do all of them?"

"…Are you serious?"

Natsume Munechika: ...It's not impossible.

But when he saw Natori Shuichi's reaction, he swallowed back what he wanted to say and uttered a long, ambiguous "hmm" instead.

"Then let's choose the ones that can handle it quickly." Natori reported a few names on Monday. He also knew why Munechika had to go back at night. If the request was handled quickly, they might be able to wait for Takashi Natsume to release the

learn?

Examine the shrine seal.

"What is sealed here?"

"It seems to be a great monster from a hundred years ago. The data says that it was sealed because it was too dangerous. Recently, it seems that the seal has begun to loosen, so people are arranged to check it regularly."

"Doing this again..." Natsume Munechika stared at the seal, feeling unhappy no matter how he looked at it.

Natori smiled helplessly: "There's nothing I can do."

"This seal can only last for about three months. Let them handle it themselves." As soon as he was commissioned to exorcise a demon, Natsume Munechika's speaking style changed.

Detect and eliminate the monsters in the hotel.

Natori Shuichi originally thought that checking the seal would be the quickest commission.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the hotel and revealed his identity to the boss, Natsume Munechika followed the demonic power into the house, and when he came out, he was dragging a monster with a bag on its head.

Natori Monday: …

Just in case he asked, "Is this the only one?"

Natsume Munechika nodded, and as they passed by, he said, "Well, I'll go teach it how to stay away from dangerous places."

Watching the poor monster being dragged out, Natori Shuichi felt a chill on his back and turned around to continue talking to his boss: "Sorry to bother you, it seems to have been resolved."

The boss looked at me with a half-moon eye and said, "Are you really not here to tease me?"

To exorcise the curse.

"Just sit here and don't move."

The one who was cursed was an old man. The monster had marked him and would eat him after seven days.

Natori Shuichi was thinking about how to exorcise the curse and was about to try them one by one according to the probability of success, when he saw the young man lower his eyes to look at him, and then, like pulling a bed sheet, he pulled the curse off and moved it onto himself.

"Hello?!"

"Don't worry, it's been solved." After comforting the old man, Munechika turned and walked out the door, following the breath to find the monster's true form and punched it accurately.

Natori Monday was scared: …

…

With this efficiency, the entrustment was carried out naturally one by one.

Then there was another commission. When the two arrived, the monster that was causing trouble had already been tied up. With tears in its eyes, it looked at the two monster hunters who were approaching.

"Yes." Natsume Munechika felt the demonic power a little and was a little surprised.

Natori was going to be angry: "One or two of them are both so chaotic."

In addition to these real troublemakers, there are also monsters that have been there since ancient times and have been occupied by humans.

This situation actually took more time than any other commission I had done before.

When the sun set in the west and he had finished all the dozen or so commissions in the town, Natori Monday stood at the last commission location, holding his cell phone and thinking about life.

They did have lunch at noon, so the total working time was probably only three hours.

Come to think of it, the walking time is almost two hours.

...and it's all actually done.

The most important thing is that he didn't even have the chance to arrange for the shikigami to do anything along the way.

Still remembering the sentence "Ah, aren't we going to do it all?" Natori Shuichi didn't know what to think for a moment.

Natsume Munechika at the side exhaled, his aura calmed down, and he turned back into the easy-to-talk boy. He felt a little disappointed to find that the paper style was not needed in the commission, so he borrowed some paper from Natori Shuichi before coming.

"Mr. Natori, thank you for your hard work."

“…No, it’s you who’s worked hard.” Natori Shuichi felt that his self-esteem as a demon hunter had been hit.

"Let's go back. If we go back now, we can just catch up with Takashi after school." Natsume Munechika folded a small paper man, drew a line on it, and then infused it with demonic power and let the small paper man walk by itself.

Then he was shocked to discover.

The little paper man knows the way ah ah ah ah——

The author has something to say: Munechika: WTF, the paper man is more reliable than me?! No, what does it mean that it can recognize the road? Ahhhh, I have paper to lead the way!! (Road-obsessed ecstasy)

Half a day later, Nanase received a message from Natori Monday Today: ...Has he finally gone crazy?

A long-haired man with his right eye covered: Hmm? Interesting.

Congratulations to Natsume Munechika for achieving:
