When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

The two had a late-night snack recommended by Kitahara Akira and returned to Nagano's home.

Kitahara Xiaogang opened the door and walked into the living room, and saw Nagano Kitatake sitting cross-legged on the tatami, reading a book that looked a bit old.

There are a dozen similar books stacked on a low wooden table nearby.

Nagano Kitatake turned his eyes away from the book and looked at Kitahara Akira.

"Akatsuki? I thought you and Yukinoshita would stay out all night."

Kitahara Xiao took off his shoes and stepped onto the tatami. "Why do you think like this, uncle? I'm not an adult yet!"

"Shouldn't you accompany Yukinoshita when she's so frightened? According to the thinking of young people nowadays, you can just take advantage of the opportunity."

"As for not being an adult...with your ability, do you still need to consider this?"

Nagano Kitatake said something extraordinary with a calm expression

Kitahara Xiao finally understood that this was not indifferent at all, he was clearly a reserved person!

Kitahara Xiao picked up a book from the table and sat down to flip through it.

"What kind of book is this?"

"Most of the books about monsters written by our ancestors are about the weaknesses of various monsters and how to deal with them."

"The monster that attacked the venue today and was captured by you is called Ushio, a member of the Nura Clan."

"Although they were the ones who broke the peace agreement first, if they were to see the current state of Niu Gui, the militant faction would definitely not give up."

Kitahara nodded in understanding

No wonder he looks familiar, he is a character from Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan

"By the way, where's the Ushigami?"

Kitahara Akatsuki remembered that he had asked Yegrit to take the Ushiki back to the Nagano family and then left it alone.

Nagano Kitatake stood up and opened the door to the courtyard

In the yard, the weak Niu Gui was tied up and kneeling on the ground. Several Yin Yang Masters were watching him all the time.

"Homeowner"

When they saw Kitahara Akira coming over, they bowed.

Kitahara Akira waved his hand to signal them to leave.

"Uh..." Niu Gui noticed the person coming and tried to look up at Kitahara Akira.

"Tell me," Kitahara Xiao bent over and patted Niu Gui's face like a villain, "What is your purpose? Otherwise, I will confront your commander-in-chief directly."

Niu Gui also understood that he was now a prisoner and there was no room for negotiation. In addition, he had acted on his own initiative in the matter, so he told the whole story.

It turns out that the Nura group also realized that the world is becoming more and more dangerous and is a little worried.

Nurarihyon himself decided to remain in seclusion, while the fighting faction represented by Ushiki believed that even if they did not expand their power, they should do something to strengthen their strength in case of emergency.

So he set his sights on the Four Souls Jade, a treasure he planned to take back to strengthen the Nura clan.

No wonder this guy would rather be called a traitor in the anime to let Nura Rikuei grow up. He really cares about the Nura group.

After the interrogation, Kitahara Akatsuki knocked the bull ghost unconscious and called the guards to throw the bull ghost into a cage to suppress its demonic power.

After all, this guy is the leader of the Nura Group's affiliated forces and a direct cadre of Nura Nabi, so he is a big bargaining chip.

"Ok?"

Kitahara Akatsuki seemed to have noticed something and looked up at the sky.

"Heh" he chuckled, then silently activated his ability.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky at an alarming speed, and hit the yard like a meteorite.

With a deafening roar, a large hole was smashed into the ground, and brown dust flew into the air.

“Ahhh!” Before the Crow Tengu in the earth pit could react, Nagano Kitatake threw several targeted talismans at it and suppressed it on the spot.

"Nurarihyon asked you to come, didn't he?" Kitahara Akatsuki asked

Crow Tengu turned his bloodshot eyes and looked at the cow ghost locked in a cage not far away. After confirming that it was still alive, he felt relieved.

After a long pause, he finally spoke.

"This is a... misunderstanding. Commander, we hope you can release Niu Gui. We are willing to compensate you for your losses."

Kitahara Akira looked at it coldly

With such a big tone, he was asked to release the people right away? He really thought he was a soft persimmon.

"Tomorrow night, let your commander-in-chief come and tell me in person that you are not worthy!"

After reporting the meeting place and time, Kitahara Akatsuki signaled Nagano Kitatake to release the Crow Tengu

Seeing the Crow Tengu staggering away, Nagano Kitatake couldn't help but speak.

"Xiao, do we need to recall the people outside?"

The Nura Clan will definitely not give up easily after all the promises have been made. Nagano Kitatake has to prepare for the worst - to deal with the possible Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Kitahara Xiao was about to say no, but an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Call the guards here, and the others can come if they are free."

.................................................. ...............

Late at night, Kitahara Akira sat cross-legged on the tatami in the room, flipping through the ancient books he had brought from Nagano Kitatake.

He had almost forgotten the plot and battle settings in Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, and could only read the ancient books compiled by the ancestors of the Nagano family.

However, many of the obscure parts are difficult to understand with his knowledge, so he can only look up information online while reading, which is very inefficient.

But even so, he has achieved some results.

For example, in the confrontation between the Nura Clan and the Nagano Clan, the Nagano Clan was actually completely at a disadvantage.

After all, although Nurarihyon is old and has been weakened, he is still a big monster after all. He has a solid foundation and his appeal to monsters is very strong.

On the other hand, the strength of the direct lineage Onmyoji of the Nagano family has been weakening since they were cursed during the Warring States Period, and they have no choice but to train foreign Onmyoji on their own.

If it weren't for Nurarihyon's relatively Buddhist attitude, and if modern technology hadn't helped Onmyoji, the Nagano family might have been destroyed before he was born.

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a crisp knock on the door.

"Please come in"

Yukinoshita Yukino walked into the room with a cup of hot coffee

"Yukinoshita? Are you still awake? Girls who stay up late will get wrinkles." Kitahara Akira still had the heart to joke.

Yukino Yukino reluctantly placed the hot coffee prepared for Kitahara Akatsuki on the small wooden table and sat down.

She hesitated for a moment, but still expressed her concerns, "Is Kitahara-kun going to start a war against the Nura Clan?"

"We are still in the negotiation stage, but you know I am protective of my shortcomings, so the probability of a war is quite high."

Kitahara Akira looked up at her with a smile through the white mist of hot coffee.

"Are you worried about me?"

Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head so that Kitahara Akira could not see her expression. ".....Well, after all, this matter was caused by me."

Kitahara Akira smiled and said, "Then please make me a bowl of egg fried rice tomorrow night, Yukinoshita. I loved eating this in my previous life."

"Egg fried rice?"

Yukinoshita Yukino placed her hands under the table with her fingers crossed and said "Okay"
