"I, I've already said it once, but I still have to say it!" I panted as I ran through the forest. "It's so bad to be in this world!"
The rumbling sounds behind me were getting closer and closer, and I could hear an inhuman voice calling out to me.
"Little human girl, please stop ~"
There's no way I'd stop now!
I didn't even look back as I continued to run through the dense forest. After passing through a patch of dense foliage, my eyes suddenly lit up as I arrived at a clear lake.
A person wearing a tall crown was calmly sitting cross-legged by the lakeside.
"Friend, there's a monster chasing after me! Run!" I scrambled to the person's side.
She turned around, and I realized that she was an exceptionally beautiful girl. The moonlight shone on her cold and exquisite face. She was looking at me, but she didn't see me.
I was stunned for a moment. She was so cold and so beautiful, just like an exquisite weapon. From her hair, she emitted an uncontrollable murderous aura.
I was conquered by this murderous aura, and instead of being afraid, I found her extremely charming.
The forest behind me rustled, and I pulled the girl's hand. "There's no time to explain, let's go!"
I pulled and pulled, but the person didn't move an inch. She just looked at me calmly.
"Hahaha! Let's see where you can run to! " The monster that looked like it was made up of the upper bodies of countless people crawled out of the forest. It moved forward with its two hands like a centipede. "Is there anyone else? Just in time, you'll all become my meal! "
Along with the clanging sounds of heavy weapons, I saw the beautiful girl easily lift the long sword in her hand and stand up.
"Eh! You, you are!! "The demon let out a miserable shriek and retreated in a sorry state." Demon, Demon Dagger Maiden!! "
… What a familiar name! That's my sword!
So I've transmigrated to Onmyoji's world? My eyes widened as I watched the SSR monster torture the monster.
The humanoid centipede monster that looked so ugly couldn't even withstand a single slash from the Demon Lady of the Blades. It was directly crushed into two pieces by the immense pressure of the huge blade.
After killing the monster, Yōda-hime turned to me and asked softly, "Aren't you going to run?"
"No, thank you for saving me!" I was a little excited and couldn't help but walk over to look at my sword. She's really beautiful in real life, and she's slightly taller than me.
"I feel like you're very kind," Yōda-hime said softly as she stroked my face. "You're very warm."
I, I'm a little embarrassed!
But soon, Yao Daoji retracted her hand. She pointed into the distance with her fingers that weren't holding the blade. "If we head west from here, we'll reach a human village. Go there. "
"Then, what about you?" I felt like I was being teased and asked in a hurry, "Are you coming too?"
"No, it's probably better for you to never see me." Yōda-hime turned around and was about to leave with her sword.
I won't!
I grabbed her ponytail and forced myself to look back when she suddenly turned around with murderous intent. I said tearfully, "B-but I have no sense of direction, Dao Mei."
Dao Mei looked like she didn't know what to do. She looked at me expressionlessly and hesitated for a moment before asking, "I'll take you there?"
"Okay, Dao Mei. You're so good to me!" I reluctantly let go of her hand and felt her hair slip through my hand like a smooth and cold whip.
On the way to the village with Yōda-hime, I kept thinking of a way to make Dao Mei stay. However, before I could think of a way to make her stay, I saw a granny wearing a white shirt and a red dress. She was holding a bow and arrow and looking at us vigilantly.
"Monster, leave this village."
"We're here," Yōda-hime didn't look at the granny and looked at me. "I'm leaving."
"But I don't know anything. I won't know what to do if I leave you." I tried to hug her arm and act like a spoiled child, but Yōda-hime didn't move.
"Don't come near me. I'll hurt you." She gently grabbed my arm and made me let go of her. Now, it was useless to roll around and act like a spoiled child. I could only watch her carry her sword with one hand and walk back into the dark forest. I felt empty in my heart, as if I had lost something.
"You're a human?" The granny walked over hesitantly. "Why are you with a monster?"
I hurriedly defended Yōda-hime, "A monster was chasing me. She saved me."
"… Is that so?" The granny put down her bow. "You don't look like someone from this area. Are you a traveler?"
I told the granny about how I had mysteriously appeared here. She invited me to stay in the village for the time being and look for a way to return.
So, I temporarily stayed in the granny's house and began my life in Pingan City.
The granny's name was Nishiko. She was a witch who guarded this village. She saw my talent and wanted to train me.
"You have a great power hidden in your body." Nishiko said to me. She looked at me with a smile. "If you don't know how to use your power, it will bring you disaster."
"Then, are you going to teach me?!" I was excited. I couldn't control myself at the thought of having all kinds of strange abilities in Onmyoji. "I'm willing to learn! I'm willing to learn! I'm willing to learn!"
"… No, I mean to write you a letter and ask you to learn from Seimei -sama."
What??
Seimei????
I originally thought that I would have to stay in the newbie village for a long time to complete the newbie quests. I didn't expect that she would directly send me to the main quest.
"With your talent, you can only be fully trained by Seimei -sama's side." Nishiko said as she took out a blue piece of paper and handed it to me. I took it and lowered my head to look at it. I felt that this paper was slightly familiar.
I-isn't this a blue scroll?
I received the blue scroll in both surprise and joy. I turned it over and over in my hands.
The real blue scroll felt like it was neither paper nor cloth. It was cold in my hands and didn't warm up for a long time. There were all kinds of strange runes drawn on it. I stared at them for a long time but couldn't understand them. Instead, I felt a little dizzy.
"This is a Spirit-branded Retainer Talisman. Inject your spiritual energy into it and you will be able to summon a demon that responds to your summons and sign a contract with it." Grandma Nishiko said, "You don't know how to use your power right now. Only by summoning a Spirit-branded Retainer Talisman to go with you to Seimei -sama will I be at ease."
"Oh, oh, oh, I will!" As I said that, I took out the pen that I had kept in my pocket before I transmigrated and skillfully wrote the words' Stupid NetEase 'on the blue scroll.
"That's not how you use it …" Before Grandma Nishiko could finish speaking, she stared at the rune floating from my hand in astonishment. "This, this?!!"
"Ah? Ah? That's not how you use it? "I looked at Grandma Nishiko nervously.
"… No, you've already succeeded." Grandma Nishiko looked at the burning blue scroll with a complicated expression. "I've never seen anyone who can summon a demon just like this."
… Then when you come to our world, you'll probably see many more.
After the blue scroll burned, a head of flaming red hair appeared in my field of vision.
"Human, are you the one who summoned me?" The demon in front of me was unexpectedly tall. He looked down at me and the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing a mocking expression. "You look like a weak fellow."
I didn't take his words to heart at all. After all, he was a character from the 2-D world, so it was cute to have a bad mouth. But what I found most inconceivable was that he actually looked so tall!
Was, was this a lie? In the game, Spirit-branded Retainers were clearly so short! How could he be taller than me now?!
I inexplicably became angry. I looked up at Shun Tun and said in a bad mood, "Yes, I am your master."
Shun Tun's contemptuous and mocking expression suddenly changed. He stared at me like a beast on the hunt. "You want to be my master?"
"You look very powerful, but I'm not afraid of you at all!" I glared back at Shun Tun, "If you didn't save up your balls in the previous few rounds, you're trash!"
"Hmph, hahahahaha!" Shun Tun stared at me for a while and suddenly laughed. "Very well, after this contract is over, let me see how confident you are to provoke me!"
"Hahaha!" I made a face at him. When I turned around, I saw Grandma Nishiko looking uneasy. She was holding a talisman and looking at me. "What's wrong, Grandma Nishiko?"
"… Great Demon, Shun Tun Doji." Grandma Nishiko looked at Shun Tun solemnly. "I didn't expect you to summon such a great demon."
… Oh, actually, I have a full SSR!
"Witch?" Shun Tun narrowed his eyes at Grandma Nishiko and clenched his fist. "Use your blood to quell my anger."
The miasma spread in the small room. Just the pressure of the great demon made humans unable to move in fear.
Grandma Nishiko tried her best to activate the talisman in her hand. Even if it was just for a moment, she wanted to trap this demon. However, she couldn't move at all.
Shun Tun looked at Nishiko with even more fear in his eyes. He obtained an indescribable sense of satisfaction from the fear, despair, and curses of the humans. He was just waiting for this despair to evaporate to the extreme, and then he would slaughter this entire village.
As for the contract, as long as he fulfilled the contract and killed the people he didn't like, everything would be fine.
