Upper Moon Conference
"Please follow me, Tokito-kun."
The white-haired woman in a light purple kimono said this, with a faint smile on her face and a beautiful face that was attractive enough.
Just like the fairy of the birch tree.
Ichiro followed the lady named Tianyin and walked up the lighted corridor.
The complex roads began to change visibly, and the mansion was constantly changing as if it had life.
When you push open the paper shoji door, you will see a wide wooden floor, a tea table and tatami mats.
This seems to be a meeting between the twelve demons, which will be opened at a fixed time. But now it seems that the spacious and bright room does not have a serious atmosphere, but instead has a feeling of a tea party.
The first seat among the many seats must be the seat of the Demon King Yaoya. And there is a single seat on his side, where the expressionless Yuanyi sits.
To be precise, the powerful Yuanyi is not one of the Twelve Demon Moons. His strength can be seen from the predicted "dream", and there is no enemy in this world.
In other words, when he was still a human, he was as powerful as the Son of God. Why he, who was so powerful, turned into a ghost is still an unsolved mystery.
However, Yuan Yi not only obeys the orders of the Ghost King, he is also very kind to other ghosts, which is inconsistent with his serious appearance.
There were quite a few ghosts seated, except for a few vacant seats, most of the ghosts were already there. So after entering the room, several eyes looked over.
"Thank you for your hard work."
With the help of Madam Tianyin, Yao Zai slowly sat down. When he appeared, everyone who originally had different expressions on their faces all looked respectful.
Under Yuanyi's gaze, Youyilang chose a position farthest from him. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Yuanyi was "targeting" him.
This avoidance was naturally seen by others. Kocho Kanae, who had met him once before, directly covered her lips and reminded him: "Youri-kun, that's the position of Giyuu."
This most remote and farthest seat is actually occupied? Ichiro had a complicated expression, but he still followed Kanae's suggestion and sat in a seat closer to the first seat.
The young man had a stern face and was sitting with his hands on his knees, looking somewhat similar to the red-haired young man.
The difference between the twelve ghosts of Ghost Month and other ordinary ghosts, apart from their strength, is their very distinctive appearance.
When ordinary ghosts are transformed into ghosts, their bodies become stronger and their appearance will also undergo some changes because they cannot withstand the powerful force.
But the Twelve Ghost Moons are different. They can control their appearance and become similar to humans.
The leader of the Twelve Demon Moons is Beimingyu Gyomei. His ability is to control this mansion, but from his strong muscles, it can be seen that he is very powerful even if he cannot see.
The second one was Tomioka Giyuu who had not yet arrived and was the one who was arranged to sit the farthest away. The third one was the white-haired man who kept frowning and seemed very unhappy - Fuzuigawa Shigeya.
And the fourth one is him, an "ordinary ghost" who squeezed into the ranks inexplicably.
The fifth was a tightly wrapped black-haired man with a pair of heterochromatic vertical pupils. Iguro Obanei sat next to Gyoumei of the Sad Song Island, looking very short, but with a white snake coiled around his neck.
The ever-smiling Kocho Kanae is the sixth Upper Rank, and she seems to be one of the first few demons to follow Yoya.
Except for Gyoumei of Sadness Island, who is the undisputed number one in terms of strength, the ranking of other demons is not that important. Because the ranking of upper-rank demons is not based on strength, this position seems to be inherited.
After the previous upper stream dies, they will recommend the younger generation they have trained. And for hundreds of years, it seems that except for Yuanyi who does not belong to the ranks of the ghost moon, the other positions have been more or less overlapped.
This made Ichiro curious about who the previous Upper 4 was and why he gave the position to a powerless demon like him.
Ichiro has accepted the species change well and is not in a hurry to regain his lost memories. Perhaps it is because he already knows his future and the past is no longer important.
Just like a normal tea party, everyone started talking to each other. Ichiro didn't understand the topic, so he lowered his head and studied his eyes.
There are numbers engraved in the eyes of the upper-rank demons, one is the word "upper-rank", and the other is the arranged numbers.
However, he couldn't see his own eyes, so he could only turn his head to observe the other ghosts. When he met the two different colored pupils, Ichiro clearly heard a "hissing" sound.
Then, my limbs felt like they were being coiled by a snake, and they tightened. When I lowered my head, I saw the white snake crawling over to me without knowing when, wrapping itself around my arm and climbing onto my shoulder, spitting out its tongue and showing its fangs.
It felt like being bitten would leave you stiff for days. His light blue pupils moved, and before the snake could make any move, he quickly and accurately grasped its mouth with one hand.
Youzhilang knew that you had to hit the snake at its most vulnerable part, but he just pinched the snake's upper and lower jaws tightly with two fingers, preventing it from opening its mouth, and said in a dark voice: "If you come any closer, I will pull out all your teeth."
The boy narrowed his eyes and spoke sharply. Yuan Yi watched quietly and then said, "It's no big deal if it bites you."
Ichiro turned his head, then pinched the white snake's head, forced it to open its fangs, and then bit the red-haired young man's hand holding the cup.
Yuan raised his hand, and the white snake's fangs embedded deeply, twisting and struggling as he raised his hand.
The two eyes of different colors glared at him, and then the snake returned to Iguro Obanai's neck, and the wound that was originally gushing with blood healed in the next second. However, the snake seemed to be hit hard, and buried its head listlessly.
"You little brat." Fuzugawa put down his cup and said with narrowed eyes, "You're even more annoying than before."
"Master Busikawa, you are not a human being now." The young man supported his chin with one hand and said lightly, "If you are willing to sit next to me, I don't mind letting it hang on you."
"Huh?" Fuzugawa Shima frowned and glared, "How do you talk like that, little brat?"
Ichiro's true nature was exposed. He knew that the strength of the ghosts present was probably stronger than his, but he still didn't spare the ghosts: "First of all, you are the one who is rude, little ghost, little ghost, etc. I have a name, Tokito Ichiro. If you don't know how to read, I can teach you."
"Secondly, I am a ghost, so I don't need to be polite."
"ha?!"
As if hindered by the person on the main seat, Busei Kagawa suppressed his anger and clenched his ten fingers so hard that they made a crackling sound.
The tense atmosphere was broken by the sudden opening of the paper door. The black-haired man who walked in was wearing a two-color haori and looked elegant and worrying.
"Didn't anyone tell you that the time had been changed, Giyuu?" Kocho Kanae was a little surprised. "I thought you weren't going to come today."
The man who sat down silently didn't say much, but he was carrying something, which looked like a food box.
Ghost...need to eat?
Ichiro blinked and watched as Toioka Giyuu and Fuzuigawa Miyabi started arguing. The two guys seemed to have different auras and started arguing as soon as they met.
Everyone seemed to have become accustomed to this situation, but seeing how Toioka Giyuu easily made Fushigawa Saneya explode with anger, and he had an expressionless and confused face, Ichiro guessed that this guy was probably a powerful character.
The meeting was a bit boring, but he seemed to be the only one who felt that way. Most of the meeting revolved around the "Blue Spider Lily", but it seemed that there was no progress.
Something that has not been found for hundreds of years is probably very mysterious. Or maybe we should say that such a thing does not exist at all?
The Twelve Demon Moons are respectively responsible for various areas. In addition to searching for the blue red spider lily, they are also responsible for the demons in that area and prevent them from causing trouble.
After hearing this, Yuichiro became slightly interested. However, he just brushed aside the topic and soon everyone's attention was on him.
"The area that Tokito-kun is in charge of can be temporarily transferred to Uzui who is in the same area. You don't have to worry about it, sir." Kocho Kanae said at the right time, her eyes also fell on the boy who suddenly sat up straight, "As for Tokito-kun, you can stay in the Butterfly House for now."
Yaoya nodded, then turned his head and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Yuichiro, Yuichi."
The meeting ended in confusion, but some useful information was obtained. For example, although he is a ghost now, he still has his own work and mission.
This is really a headache.
Countless rooms looked the same, and after the meeting, there was no ghost leading the way, so Ichiro naturally got lost.
But I don’t feel sleepy or hungry, so it’s okay to walk around more.
Through the paper door, two figures appeared in the flickering lights in the distance. Then the floor beneath my feet shifted, and the figures in front of me became clearer, and then the sound of conversation reached my ears.
"Ichiro doesn't dislike you, does he? Maybe you should communicate more often?"
It was the voice of Kocho Kanae, who was speaking in an exhorting tone: "Don't worry, Enma-sama, just do as before."
Before he finished speaking, the two people outside the door turned their heads at the same time, as if they sensed his approach. The paper door opened without anyone pushing it, and the boy behind the door seemed to be startled.
Kocho Kanae couldn't help but chuckle. Tokito was the youngest among them. Being young didn't mean that he had been a demon for a short time, but that he was only fourteen years old when he was turned into a demon.
"Are you hungry, Ichiro?"
When the word "hungry" was mentioned, Ichiro couldn't help but think of ghosts eating people, so he immediately shook his head: "No, I was just passing by."
The boy's calm demeanor was very amusing, but Kocho Kanae didn't expose him. She turned her head and used her eyes to encourage the taciturn red-haired man to come forward.
Yuanyi saw the hint from Kocho Kanae, so he walked forward and took out a purple snack from his sleeve quite seriously.
That was human food, but Ichiro had no interest in it at all. He even felt a little nauseous, so he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Looking at the puzzled Yuanyi, Kocho Kanae raised an eyebrow and said, "Did Giyuu give this to you? It seems that Yuichiro doesn't like it as much as Muichiro does."
