The Tengu was a rather famous demon.
According to legends, this type of demon was divided into different levels. The highest level was the Daitengu, followed by the Tengu, and the lowest level was the Crow Tengu and other types of Tengu.
And among the highest level Daitengu, there was an Emperor Tengu that was the incarnation of the vengeful spirit of the Emperor Tengu. It was one of the three strongest and evilest demons, along with the Demon King Shutendoji and the Nine-Tailed Fox Tamamo-no-Mae!
Seiji couldn't remember if the handsome flute-playing Daitengu in the game was an Emperor Tengu or not, but he had never drawn this SSR card …
The most common image of a Tengu was that it had a red face, a long nose, and a tall build. It wore monk clothes and wooden clogs, and it held a feather fan and mallet. It also had a pair of wings on its back.
The Tengu that the victim met had a white face, a vicious expression, and a long nose. It wore black Sakura Island clothing, held a red folding fan, and had no wings on its back.
"Rather than a demon, I think it looks more like a singer at a New Year's Eve party," Tomohisa said. "But no singer would be able to injure someone so severely with just a wave of their fan."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
There were indeed some singers at the New Year's Eve party that looked more like demons than demons.
"How did he meet one?"
"He suddenly bumped into one on the street and was startled by the other party's face, so he reflexively cursed, and then …" He followed up with an expression of being trampled on.
"… I see."
"Do you know what happened? Seigo. "
Seiji understood that he wasn't asking about the demon, but about the entire incident.
"Everything was caused by the Midnight Spell!"
"… Which anime's line is that?"
"I admit that I intentionally used a line, but it can be summarized in one sentence."
Seiji explained the situation to Tomohisa.
"'Midnight Spell' … it's a rather suitable name." Hisashi agreed after hearing the explanation. "Such a powerful spell … would it be possible for it to reappear in other cities?"
"It's possible. If the caster's goal was to let ordinary people know about the existence of the mystical. "
"What's the benefit of revealing the dark side?"
"I don't know. Perhaps the caster is like some villains in anime, acting out of their beliefs. "
"'Our goal is to let everyone see the truth!'" Tomohisa said.
"For the sake of righteousness, it's worth sacrificing some people!" Seiji added.
"'After a short period of pain, there is a beautiful new world!'" the two said in unison.
This was the line of an intermediate villain in Honey Candy Girl. It was quite a classic character, but the way he died was a little funny.
"If the caster of the Midnight Spell has such thoughts, then I really can't laugh."
"Yeah."
There was silence.
"Seigo, if something happens to Feng Wu, are you willing to protect her?" Tomohisa suddenly asked.
Seiji recalled the blonde teacher's beautiful image.
"Of course."
"That's great … Then you can start living with her today!"
"Huh?"
"Actually, my younger sister also met a Tengu." Tomohisa sent a serious emoticon. "Although she used our family heirloom to chase it away, it'll definitely come again. She needs a Spiritual Ability user to protect her!"
"Hey, hey … you're just making things up, aren't you?" Seiji didn't believe such an obvious lie.
"It's true. That Tengu didn't have wings on its back. It had a bunch of tentacles!"
"What the hell!? Don't ruin the classic image of a demon! "
"Its long nose can spit out a white, murky, stinky liquid!"
"How perverted! Don't add such a setting! "
"Any woman caught by it will definitely be 'beep!', then 'beep!', and then 'beep beep beep!'"
"There's no need to censor your text! Why do you care so much about that 'beep beep beep!'! "
"I've already used up my family heirloom, 'Repelling Mist Against Tentacles.' The next time it comes, it won't be able to resist!"
"Your family heirloom is so strange!!"
"In conclusion, live together with her, Seigo."
"Don't force such a conclusion, alright!!" Seiji forcefully retorted.
Tomohisa sent a smiling emoticon.
"I think this is for the best. Feng Wu really likes you. As long as you accept her, she'll be willing even if it's just to be your mistress."
"What are you saying!"
"Let me finish, Haruta Seiji. You're a man worthy of her liking. I think that being together with you is the best for her, both objectively and subjectively."
"You're willing to protect her, but you're unwilling to accept her, or rather, you're unwilling to accept her sacrifices. This isn't good, and it'll only make her feel bad … Do you understand?"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I've never been in a relationship in three dimensions before. I don't have the right to criticize her, but I'm still her older brother." Tomohisa spoke in a serious tone. "I want my younger sister to be able to live well and obtain happiness, and you can give her everything."
"Hey, hey …"
"Don't you feel like I'm entrusting her to me before I die? Ha, I'm entrusting her to you. On behalf of my father, I'm entrusting my younger sister to you. "Tomohisa sent an emoticon of someone putting on sunglasses and pretending to be cool.
"We're in the mafia, and we need to be sensitive to death. Otherwise, we won't even have the chance to say our last words. And right now, I can faintly smell the scent of death. "
"To put it bluntly, my intuition tells me that the night of one hundred demons won't end in just one night, and that it'll continue. As a member of the mafia, it's highly likely that I'll be attacked by demons. This is what they call karma. "
"Perhaps I'm just too cowardly, but I feel like it's better to say it while I can. Otherwise, if my premonition comes true, I won't even be able to cry."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"Seiji, please protect Feng Wu. Also, if possible, accept her. It'll be best if you can have one or two children in the future … "
"Don't say it like you're really going to die!"
"Just treat it like that."
"You just have an ominous premonition; don't go overboard."
"… Alright, as long as you understand what I mean." Tomohisa sighed.
After that, he said that he had some business to attend to and logged off.
After logging out of the chat group, Tomohisa put down his cell phone and lifted his head.
Through the glass window in front of him, he could see a middle-aged man with white hair lying on a bed in the hospital room. He was wearing a respirator and had an IV drip in his hand. He seemed incredibly weak, and the machine beside the bed was displaying an electrocardiogram.
What Tomohisa didn't tell Seiji was that the person who had been severely injured by Tengu and was still in critical condition was actually his father — the leader of the Juumonji Group, Michirou Juumonji!
For a mafia boss to be on the verge of death because of some inexplicable ghost … what a joke.
If he died just like that, it would be a joke that no one could laugh at.
The Midnight Spell … the night of one hundred demons … even the mafia, which ordinary people feared, could only endure the damage without being able to do anything about it.
Only Spiritual Ability users would be able to resist it.
"Feng Wu, go to Uehara's apartment at dawn and do your best to stay by Seigo's side," Tomohisa told his younger sister, who was standing beside him. "You'll only be safe by his side."
"… What about you guys?" Feng Wu asked in a soft voice.
"Don't worry about us; just let us fend for ourselves," the red-haired man standing beside her said casually.
He was Zankita Juumonji, Tomohisa and Feng Wu's older brother.
