[Ghost Lamp] The dark humor of hell

Miss Anzi is actually a very beautiful monster.

Eighty percent of the reason is because she was created in modern times, so her appearance is in line with the aesthetics of modern people, not an outdated woman like Qiao Ji.That's why Bai Ze, whose standards for women have changed over time, ran up to strike up a conversation.

After waving to Momotaro to express sympathy for him, the Peace Squad temporarily formed because of the same goal split into two teams again. great meaning of existence.

The monster special zone is actually not difficult to get to.

Not only among humans, but among monsters, the popular topic is often "x humans ran to xx's house today and were eaten by xx", which shows that the secrecy of this special zone is really low.

In fact, the bone girl led the way, followed by Tian Shanji, and the ghost lamp watched Miss Anzi, and the speed of the group would not be too slow. About half an hour later, the bone girl led them to a streetside oden. .

"...Boss, just bring me something, four servings."

The bone girl opened the curtain and walked in, while Ji Shanji took two quick steps in a daze and urged her.

"Hey, we're not going to..."

The conversation stopped abruptly after seeing the shop owner.

To be honest, it is not normal to still see oden on the streets of Tokyo today, but thinking about it, it is not too early now, maybe someone is targeting this time and there is no police?

But the owner of the Oden in front of him is a fox.

To be precise, there are two. Later, Ji Shanji can see another little fox squeezed out from behind the shop owner, with a small flower tied on its head to reveal its gender.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Bone Girl who hasn't been here for a long time? She still has... gods?"

The owner of the shop might be an old fox. His long and narrow fox eyes flashed a hint of vigilance after seeing Jian Shanji, and his nose trembled, sniffing out a lot of news from Tian Shanji.

"I haven't seen you for a few years and you have rhinitis? No matter how you look at it, this is Hanako from the toilet cubicle. Alright, the four of us, we have something to do there."

The bone girl pointed at Shi Sanji... pointing at Hanako, picked up the oden that the old fox had placed in front of her, raised the curtain again and was about to leave, while throwing the oden into the non-recyclable trash bin on the side of the street.

"I told you not to waste food... Oh? Is that the No. [-] ghost in hell over there?"

Just for a moment, the fox glanced at the ghost lamp standing behind Miss Anzi staring at the changing surroundings, and after attracting his attention, he smiled slightly, "I have heard Mr. Wood Jing mention the assistant from hell who can make Mr. Wood Jing full of praise. The official has long wanted to meet with his own eyes. Is it because of the mischievousness of the juniors that he came here? It’s really hard work.”

"Hello, are you familiar with Mu Jing?" Ghost Lantern looked back at him politely.

The beard on the old fox's mouth trembled, "Without the help of Master Wooden Spirit, we would not be able to build our own home in the forest. As far as this point is concerned, as the only guide of the monster special zone in the vicinity, we, the fox, have to thank her Woolen cloth."

"Ah, by the way, that's Miss Anzi, right? Please take her back quickly, her mother has been looking for her recently."

The scenery around the oden changed and became a forest.

It was still night, and the woods were very dark, completely different from the brightly lit streets of Tokyo, and even the sound could not be heard at all.

Including the unique chirping of insects in summer.

"Wait! Are you a bone girl? The bone girl who ate the land god who established the Youkai Special Zone in the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara?!"

"..."

If just now Miss Anzi was in a state of anxiety and wanted to escape, then now she is completely terrified, and maybe she regrets underestimating the existence of the bone girl's idea.

"...No, that kind of bone girl didn't exist in the first place, okay? Why are the rumors you hear getting weirder and weirder? I'm obviously a law-abiding monster who hasn't been out of the house for hundreds of years. "

The bone girl sighed, she really didn't understand how the erroneous perception that "the bone girl can eat" was accepted by the monsters.

"Master Ghost Lantern, the current location of this place is the edge of the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara, and monsters often appear at night. Due to the protection of an object with powerful monster power, generally old monsters will choose to live near here. If you go around and shout You can call out a few famous monsters by roaring."

"An object with powerful demonic power?" Ghost Lamp frowned.

"It's the eyes of Tamamo, who was left behind after being defeated by the previous land god. Through this, the land god established this special zone for monsters to live in. This was probably hundreds of years ago, and it is also talked about among monsters. legend."

Miss Anzi interrupted from the side.This can be regarded as an inside rumor of monsters, and every time I tell it to outsiders, I will feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Obviously the same kind has been hunted down, but it's really strange to respect the people who hunted down the same kind."

"...Actually, at that time, Tamamomae had already partnered with Kami, causing trouble everywhere. In addition, she is not strictly speaking a native Japanese youkai..."

It sounded like he knew a lot of inside stories, and Ghost Lantern couldn't help but look sideways.But the bone girl is a big old monster in every sense, and she lived here for a long time when she was picked up by the ghost tree...

"Ah, the people over there are all well-known figures in the neighborhood. If you have anything to do, you can consult with them. You, Xiao, Hanako, too."

The veteran big monster, who had been evaluated by the ghost lamp, did not make any actions worthy of this title at all, and even took a few steps back, completely showing weakness.

"...Hello, everyone, I don't need to say much about my reason for coming, but tomorrow is the Yulan Festival. Not only the dead, but if your former master of the ghosts, Ibaraki Doji, wants to come back, he can come back. Although not I understand what the rules of the youkai world are, but seeing this messed up scene...would you really not be angry?"

The ghost lamp doesn't care whether they are listening carefully or not, now time is running out, have a friendly exchange with them, talk with them for a while, and finally sign the insurance contract slowly, this kind of troublesome procedure in Western hell is at least in Japan Don't show up.

In the present world, the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara——

Youkai Special Zone is a protection organization formed by the demon fox.

Just this bone girl can't bear to stay there, the smell of a fox makes her...uncomfortable.

Lord Ghost Lantern and the monsters still have something important to discuss, the bone girl told Tian Shanji a few times, then turned and left here, walked deep into the forest, and found her small warehouse that was said to have been discovered by humans.

——Actually, the ghoul was obviously exaggerating. Her small warehouse was buried very secretly, at least the humans who broke into this suicide forest didn't have the time to find it carefully.So that is the extent to which the nearby stone lanterns were destroyed unsightly.

It is estimated that human beings felt that the will-o'-the-wisp it burned was too scary, so they smashed it to prevent it from being scary.

... Thank you for your hard work, Brother Stone Lantern, I hope to see you in hell.

The bone girl piled up the scattered stones, and the scene of stone lanterns burning will-o'-the-wisps lighting up a stone field around her house can no longer be seen...although she no longer lives here.

The stone lanterns that have been here since thousands of years ago, she will open a back door for you and send them to heaven.

"...Ah? Miss Bone Girl, did the poor breast-controller who was with you run away with the mountain girl?"

The bone girl who closed her eyes and quietly prayed for the stone lantern could recognize the owner of the voice without turning her head, the tone of beating and the obvious hostility towards Lord Ghost Lantern... Maybe Bai Ze would have it.

Even Master Bessib wouldn't be so indignant, he is a workaholic and a good man.

"Master Ghost Lantern is not that boring, Mr. Bai Ze. Is there anything you want to do around here? Please leave if you have nothing to do."

"Hey, don't drive people away like this. After all, there was a god who disappeared for unknown reasons. Let me investigate it. It's justified. Although I, a Chinese auspicious beast... will be a bit overstepped. By the way, there is a familiar smell here, Does Miss Bone Girl have any clues?"

Bai Ze stepped on the gravel, a few steps away from the bone girl, saw her kneeling on the ground staring at the gravel in a daze, and had a grasp of the current situation.

"Who knows what kind of women you hang out with every day, the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara is a place full of people."

"I'm so sorry for being a fool, and please consider it a normal relationship."

"I'm sorry that after meeting you, I can't taste a little bit of purity as long as the word 'Bai Ze' is on it."

Bai Ze withdrew his feet, scratched his head and sighed, "That's your friend? The stone lantern... It used to be a monster that protected the God of the Earth from being attacked by a monster."

"I didn't expect you to be good at spells, but your IQ is still a little clumsy."

"Hey! You won't hurt my whole body, right?!"

Bai Ze jumped up angrily, why are the people brought out by that kid so annoying!

"No, it depends on the person to hurt someone. If you can't pick out any shortcomings, it's useless to think about hurting people."

The bone girl didn't turn her head, she still knelt there quietly, her expression was not moved at all.

"……you!"

"Master Bai Ze, let's go back to Gaotianyuan and go to God Amaterasu."

As soon as the extremely angry Bai Ze uttered a word, he was interrupted by Momotaro who came from behind.

"In the final analysis, why does this place smell like Lord Daji? Didn't she be dug into hell by Lord Ghost Lantern long ago?"

"...The words are..."

"Snapped."

Momotaro, who has been helplessly facing his boss from the beginning to the end, just finished speaking, when a strange sound came from the bone girl not far away.

It sounded like a branch being trampled.

"Daji? Is there such a person in hell?"

The bone girl turned her back to Momotaro, who couldn't see the bone girl's expression clearly.

"Does Bone Girl Sang know Lord Daji? She is very famous in the Flower Street of Zhonghe Hell...well..."

"...☆～"

The atmosphere became cheerful.

Even if he didn't understand how happy the bone girl's face was, Momotaro could clearly feel that the air around him became more and more relaxed from the silence of the cemetery,... as if meeting an old friend.

"Tamamo-mae... did you actually run to Hanaichi☆~"
