Who would have thought that there would be such a thing …
Even when the sun rose the next morning, Crimson was still lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling in front of her. In fact, she couldn't sleep at all last night. In her mind, she kept replaying the scene that she had "backtracked" from the room in the Misty Branch of Aura.
Crimson was puzzled. She didn't go to Kyoto with Dusk, and Dusk brought Misty Branch of Darkness back from Kyoto.
Looking at the ceiling in front of her, Crimson sighed. Thinking about it, it didn't seem strange. After all, Dusk had always treated men differently. Even those idols on TV, she didn't even bother to look at them. It was the same when she accepted a commission. If it was a man's commission, she would delay it, and if it was a girl's commission, she would bring it forward.
According to Dusk, "Since you're a man, you should take care of your own business. If you can't handle it, then don't be a man …"
Hmm, thinking about it this way, it seemed that she was indeed treated differently between men and women.
Thinking of this, Crimson couldn't help but feel a sense of unwillingness in her heart.
If that's the case, why didn't you and me … Hmm, that's not possible …
Crimson sighed, sat up from the bed, and began to change her clothes.
If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn't have gone there.
At this moment, Crimson felt a little regretful, but unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in reality.
Today's office started from a peaceful morning as usual.
Originally, it was like this …
"Negotiation?"
Dusk put down the bowl in her hand and frowned slightly when she heard Kurosawa Fengshi's message.
"Yes, I heard it's …"
Saying this, Kurosawa Fengshi was silent for a moment, then looked to the side. Shizuhisa continued.
"It's a negotiation between monsters and humans …."
"So you want me to negotiate with humans on behalf of the monsters? About what? Don't tell me they want to give you an autonomous region? "
What was this, Flux God Island version 2.0?
"That's not right …."
Shizuhisa shook her head.
"Everyone in the monster world in Japan has heard of your story …."
This was to be expected. After all, there were still many monsters who did not manage to escape in time. They had all witnessed how Shu easily dealt with Shutendoji and subdued the nine-tailed fox demon. After these monsters left, they would definitely spread gossip everywhere. Although there was no internet or telephone in the monster world, it was not difficult for monsters to spread gossip with their means.
"Now that Tamamo-no-Mae and Shutendoji have lost their powers, the demon world needs a new Demon Lord. That's why I sent a request to you, Lord Ji. "
"In other words, as the ruler and representative of the demons? But I'm on the side of the humans. "
Si snorted and said. Shizuijiu nodded.
"The daemons have also considered this point. But this way, it's even better …. "
"Then what is the content of the commission?"
"It's related to the 12 Ghost Slayer Families. The demons hope that you can be their representative to negotiate with the 12 Ghost Slayer Families."
"The 12 Ghost Slayer Families …. I remember that the Earthwalker Family was destroyed in the war. How many families are left?"
"Five … …."
"Then what is the content of the negotiation?"
"It's about the coexistence of demons and humans …."
"This topic is a little too big. I don't think it's something that the 12 Ghost Slayer Families can decide on."
Hearing Shizuhisa's answer, Si shook his head. What a joke. This was as meaningless as talking to the American gangsters about how to end the war in Afghanistan.
This kind of thing should be discussed with the American government.
"The specific explanation is here …."
Shizuhisa seemed to understand that it was difficult to express herself in words, so she took out a document. Si took the document and flipped through it. After reading the document, Si finally understood what Shizuhisa was waiting for.
In the world of demons, there were radicals and moderates. Needless to say, the radicals were representatives of the nine-tailed demon fox Tamamo-no-Mae and Shutendoji. They advocated enslaving and killing humans. On the other hand, the moderates advocated coexistence with humans. In fact, many demons among the moderates were moderate because they had spent some time with humans and developed feelings for them.
Some demons even had children with humans, leaving behind children who inherited the demon's bloodline. As ancestors, of course, they hoped that their descendants could live a happy life instead of being hunted down by humans.
Because of this, they also hoped to stop the war with humans, especially the 12 Ghost Slayer Families that specialized in killing demons in Japan. However, negotiating required strength. Currently, among the five of the twelve Ghost Slasher families, there were families that were not friendly to demons. If the demons did not have a particularly strong existence, they would not be able to communicate with them.
Now, the demons hoped that they could build a place for the half-demons to live in. They hoped that the place would be protected and not wiped out by some demon slayer who did not know the truth. This was also the specific content of the negotiation that they hoped that Satoshi would represent the demons and negotiate with the 12 Ghost Slayer Families.
"I think this is very troublesome and difficult."
After reading the entire proposal, Satoshi had some understanding of the demons' thoughts. However, she was not particularly optimistic about this proposal.
"Why? Sister Satoshi? I feel that many demons are actually not bad. "
Hearing Satoshi's words, Crimson frowned doubtfully and asked. At least in her experience, whether it was Shizuhisa Hisashi or Suzuka, they were both very gentle and gentle demons.
"This is your view as an ordinary person, but demons themselves are not that easy to understand."
Hearing Crimson's question, Satoshi sighed and looked at Crimson.
"Basically, demons can be divided into three types. The first type is like Suzuka, formed from natural phenomena. I think you also know that Yuki women are the crystallization and representation of snow. Therefore, Suzuka, as a Yuki woman, represents the harsh cold and snowstorms of the mountains. The second type is like Shizuhisa Hisashi, a horned dragon that was born as a demon. This concept is actually the same as superpowers in human society. Although there is not much difference in appearance, the internal strength is like heaven and earth. But the most troublesome is the last type. "
"The last type?"
"That's right, that's a demon."
Satoshi pointed at the little golden loli who was holding an apple and nibbling on it.
"This type of demon is mostly formed from the negative emotions of humans, such as fear, anger, hatred …. In Toriyama Shiyan's' Night of One Hundred Demons', there is a type of demon. Because the people around didn't go to the temple to offer incense, the abbot of the temple hanged himself out of shame and anger. Simply put, demons are easily affected by the negative emotions of humans, and because of this, they will turn around and hate humans. "
"That's right …."
Shizuhisa Hisashi also nodded.
"For example, our race is clearly living an ordinary and peaceful life, but those humans arbitrarily worshiped us as the Water God, and arbitrarily feared us as demons. In the end, they even summoned the Ghost Slayer Families to destroy our race …. We obviously didn't do anything …."
"Ugh …."
Hearing Shizuhisa Hisashi's resentful words, Crimson couldn't help but shrink back. Satoshi shrugged his shoulders.
"You see, that's how it is. Demons don't hate humans for no reason. From a human's point of view, it's scary for demons to kill and eat humans. But from a demon's point of view, if it weren't for the fact that these humans are like garbage generators that spread negative emotions everywhere, they wouldn't have been affected and turned these originally carefree elves into evil and ugly demons. From this point of view, it's not unreasonable for demons to want to completely destroy humans. That's why I said, I can understand Shutendoji's actions. "
"But, if the two sides communicate properly …."
"That's impossible, Crimson. You know very well, how can a person's life be smooth sailing? There will be people who will trip you up, speak ill of you, and even bully you. Isn't that normal? Everyone will be angered by others at times. Look at the murders in society, aren't most of them the result of an enraged man's blood splattering everywhere? If that's the case for humans, it'll only be worse if you provoke a demon. "
"Ugh …."
"That's why I won't accept this commission."
Satoshi shrugged his shoulders and returned the document to Shizuhisa Hisashi.
"There aren't many benefits, but there's a lot of trouble. What Lord of Demons? To put it bluntly, I'm just going to be their punching bag. I'm not stupid. If I want to conquer the world, it might be of some use. But I'm living a good life now, why do I have to bring trouble upon myself? "
"So …. what do you say?"
"I refuse."
Facing Shizuhisa Hisashi's question, Satoshi gave a decisive answer.
