I rely on the vest to become the lord of ghosts

Natsume sized up the boy who suddenly appeared in front of him on his spotted furry back.

The boy looked about the same age as him, with short, dark navy blue and almost black hair, curled up fluffy at the end.The well-proportioned body doesn't look thick, and doesn't look like a body that is good at exercise. The boy is wearing a white shirt with a short haori on it. This matching style is neither modern nor retro. On him But unexpectedly suitable.

It's just that, compared with the almost undisguised demon power on his body, his appearance is secondary.

Madara, who only recognizes demon power but not appearance, landed heavily on the ground with a claw, causing a storm.

The tail of the boy's clothes flew up, and the hair in front of his forehead was also blown away. He gently untied strands of broken hair, and he didn't retreat halfway, and tried to make a friendly expression: "...I have no malice, everyone. "

"It's easy to say, but empty words are not to be trusted, kid."

He let out a breath through his nose.

The strange boy opened his mouth and called out Natsume, so it could be seen that he was coming for him.

The most coveted thing about Natsume is the book of friends left by Reiko, and this guy might be aiming at the book of friends - this conclusion is very reasonable.

But the boy just sighed, then made a gesture of surrender, and said helplessly: "...Okay, then how can I prove that I am not a bad person?"

The boy's expression and attitude are very sincere. However, in Madara's eyes, Jiu Yuan is full of unrestrained power. After careful identification, he finds that the other party is clearly a monster with a human body—otherwise, it is impossible to explain the power in him. Strange demon power.

Suspiciousness skyrocketed.

Madara: "You guy, are you possessing a human child? Then, you are even more untrustworthy."

The nature of monsters, he would not think too well.

What's more, the chaotic and violent monster power in him is the best proof.

Jiu Yuan frowned unaware of the problem, as if he was quite shocked: "Why...you say that?"

Madara bared his teeth a little, then lowered his head slightly, and after getting closer, he realized that the judgment just now was too rough.

This body is clearly shared by the boy and the monster at the same time!

"I don't have any intention of hurting Natsume-san, I just want to ask him something."

"Even if you don't have the idea of ​​what you want to do, your body is not controlled by you—boy, can you guarantee that you can restrain the guy in your body? If not, get out of here."

Natsume notices a change in Madara's attitude, from "kid" to "this guy" and now "boy".

Moreover, the object of his speech seems to have changed, from speaking to the monster in the boy's body to speaking to the boy himself.

Jiuyuan pursed his lips, his blue eyes looked at Natsume, as if hoping to see a turning point in the latter.

However, Natsume has known for a long time that if he can't deal with these things soberly, it will only bring disaster to those around him.

Seeing determination in Natsume's eyes, Jiuyuan gave them a last look in "disappointment", and walked away unwillingly.

When the boy's figure was gone, Madara put Natsume down, and then transformed back into a plump beckoning cat with a white "bang", and lazily scratched himself with his hind legs.

Natsume asked softly, "... Teacher? Is this person possessed by a bad monster?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Madara in the form of a cat yawned lazily, "It's also possible that he did something he shouldn't do, and took the initiative to attract the upper body of a monster, and he has a contractual relationship with that monster. "

"if so……"

Natsume understood what he meant, "If his body is completely occupied by that monster..."

"Yeah." Madara replied simply, "His soul will probably be completely digested by that monster as food."

What he didn't say was that at the moment he felt that the monster had the upper hand.

Otherwise, how to explain the powerful attack in the forest just now?

After Natsume listened to Mr. Cat's words, he looked in the direction Jiuyuan left, empty.

(...my choice, is it right?)

(Will he disappear...?)

Sensing Natsume's thoughts, Madara added: "However, things may not be as I thought."

Natsume looked at the cat teacher who was licking his paw: "...?"

"That young man, maybe there is some special connection with that monster. That monster power is like him, but also somewhat contradictory. If it is a complicated relationship accumulated in the past, it is not a good thing for us to intervene rashly." Madara said, "Just like human monster hunters and onmyojis, there are many traditions and rituals left over from the old times. Outsiders intervening may do bad things, and may even harm the other party."

He is only [-]% sure of what he said.

After all, he was very unfamiliar with that demonic power, and he dared to be sure that he was not the descendant of any related person he knew, but it did not rule out that there were situations he did not know, and the above was nothing more than his personal guess.

"just wait."

"?"

"That guy might come to you again."

……

……

Jiuyuan, who Madara said "will come", is surrounded by three skeleton hounds at the moment, lying on the soft grass somewhere in the forest, leaning against a big tree and flipping through his summoning scroll.

The dogs were even able to make a "whoop" sound to attract his attention, and they competed happily for favor.

"It's clearly just a skeleton..." Jiu Yuan patted the hard bone with his hand, but it really didn't feel good.

He also wants furry...

"System, I have a question."

【system:? 】

"Are there no other species in this summoning book besides skeletons?"

[System: ... But, this is set according to the story of Takiyasha Hime, after all, the hungry skeleton is very famous. 】

"Can magicians only use skeleton soldiers?"

White and dark, a little monotonous.

Realizing that the master was complaining a bit, the system whispered: [We asked Takiyasha Hime herself, and her personal soldiers are basically skeletons...]

Jiuyuan: ...Okay, that is to say, there is really no other kind, so I can give up?

He ruffled his hair.

Just now, in order to make the performance more realistic, he took a dose of the cheapest demon power booster, which lasts for about 2 hours.After taking it, his demon power will increase to [-] times of normal, so he will appear extraordinarily violent and unruly. In the eyes of outsiders, his demon power does not match his own.

Because among the 1.5 parts of the demon power, only 1 part is his own, and the 0.5 part is left blank, so in Madara's eyes, part of the demon power on him is coordinated, and part of it is like Jiuyuan himself His power doesn't look like his, it has a weird and disconnected connection.

Judging from the reaction just now, the effect of confusion has been completely achieved.

[System: Master, are you leaving just like this? 】

"No, we'll go to Natsume-san later." Jiuyuan said, "We must give them some time to communicate internally, and they need to use their imagination."

[System: Imagination? 】

"'Occupied by an evil monster and have nowhere to go', 'signed a contract with a monster and forced to live together'...Anyway, anything is fine, there is no correct answer."

[System: At a loss, I want to find Yayuan boy who can also see monsters to chat with him, but the road is blocked before I see the other party, just because the things I carry on my body are not my own. Under the strength, the young man fell into self-doubt——]

[System: "Obviously, I can't help myself..."]

[System: "Although I can't choose my origin, but just because I am forced to accept this power, will I be regarded as an enemy by others? It is clear that I am not such a person at all, why should I also bear his karma?" fruit?"】

Jiuyuan's head was full of black lines: "...It's alright, don't read so eloquently next time."

Just when he thought it was about to end, the system quietly said:

[Blackening value +10. 】

Jiu Yuan: "..." Why do I feel that the system is getting better and better and more proficient.

For some reason, the system became more active than him, and asked: 【When shall we go to Natsume-san? 】

Jiuyuan picked up his phone and checked the time, "After dinner."

It happened to be dinner time for Natsume to think about the next thing.

However, there is still about an hour before dinner time, and he is too lazy to go around to pass the time. He is going to have dinner here after a short rest, and then go to Natsume.

Jiu Yuan took out the "Dark Brave ~ Desperate Revenge Poetry" that he bought at the bookstore before getting into the car, and planned to lean under the tree to read the book.

The hounds next to him arched his arms, and found that Jiuyuan ignored them, and lay down quietly.

It's just that this posture is not comfortable, Jiuyuan thought about it, and stood up again.

"Adjust it a little bit."

He asked Hachisha to sit down, and then he just nestled in Hachisha's arms and picked up the book again. After sitting for a few minutes, he still felt uncomfortable.

...Hachishaku's body is not soft at all.

However, just as he was about to adjust his posture, the hounds also came up, and some even opened their mouths obediently and gently bit his fingers, as if expecting the other party to play with him.

Surrounded by this group of children, Bachi habitually reached out to hug him, Jiuyuan seemed to be bound in it.

It's just that this posture feels lazy and a bit sleepy.

He simply closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt someone coming from around him.

...Conjurer?No, it seems not.

He felt that the man had a shikigami, but it was somewhat different from the shikigami of the conjurer.

Is it a witch catcher?

But Jiuyuan still closed his eyes tightly, pretending not to know.

The person was getting closer and closer. After feeling the power ready to go, Jiu Yuan also raised his vigilance. Fortunately, the potion has not expired just now.

The next second, a silver spear flashed in the air, and Hachichi turned over with Jiuyuan in his arms.

The weapon had fallen to where they had been sitting.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a kimono emerge from the bushes, he raised one hand, pointed at Hachishaku, and gave an order to his shikigami——

"Catch that monster!"

Jiuyuan looked "confused" at the demon exorcist, and then at Bachi.

"Don't be afraid, boy, we will save you from the evil monster."

Jiuyuan: "..."

No, isn't the news about the monster extermination keeping pace with the times?

Did he not even watch such a big news a few days ago?
