*****
I've arrived at the mountain after running for an hour. Well, not exactly running because I jumped on top of a train in the middle of my way here.
Well, back to the mountain, this is very mysterious. I tried to spread my senses, but I can't feel anything in this mountain. A smile crept up my face as I began to walk while looking around the area around me.
Well, there was nothing unusual near me, only trees and bushes. I followed the mountain trail and climbed higher.
I kept spreading my senses to feel what's wrong with this mountain. Why I couldn't feel anything in this mountain?
After walking for five minutes, I began to notice something unusual.
"I am walking in a loop?"
The trees around me were the same as five minutes ago. This is bad, I was trapped in some kind of barrier without me noticing it.
I shrouded my body with fear and called my Nenekirimaru. If my guess is right, then there is a youkai that can use Fear in this mountain. I remembered something from Nurarihyon no Mago, a hidden village that was hidden by the village's fear, the home of elite youkai.
It seems that I spotted a jackpot this time. I gathered the Fear in my sword and I swung it down. I didn't use as much power as when I tried to cut Vali, cutting a Fear at this level was rather easy.
After I swung my sword, the air in front of me was cut, and the scenery from inside the cut was different from that around me. I stepped into the cut and I arrived at high ground, with a village spanned below it.
I spread my senses again and smiled.
"Jackpot, this is the place."
I looked at the scenery below me. The village was beautiful, with simple wood as a roof and stone as a wall. There is a maintained road that connected each house that was built with a flat stone.
On the right side of the village, a river flows from the high ground that I was currently at to a lake that was located behind the biggest house in the village.
I could also feel the biggest energy of youkai came from that house. No youkai stayed in the house, maybe they realized about my entrance to their village and decided to stay in the village chief's house together?
Well, that made it easier for me to recruit them. I made Nenekirimaru disappear and used Kyouka Suigetsu as I walked towards the biggest house in the village.
As I got closer to the house, the more it appeared as something amazing. I just noticed it after I got close to the house, but the house was more like a mansion. The wall was painted white, and the door was huge.
Maybe they made the door that huge because of the variety of youkai in this village. But, I had this strange feeling since I arrived in this village. Like, something inside me wanted to go inside this house as soon as possible.
I trust my feeling. I will always trust my feeling because I know that it was the best course of action. Because of Telos Karma, I will always be guided to the best possible outcome, so I entered the house with a big smile on my face.
"Excuse me!" I shouted as I put my right hand beside my mouth.
The first thing that I saw as soon as I entered the house is the big stairs that lead to the second floor. I could feel a lot of youkai were gathered on the second floor. The big energy that I felt when I entered this village was also on the second floor, right in the middle of it.
After a few seconds, two youkai appeared from my left and right respectively. They have a big face colored blue and red respectively. Not only that, they held a big cleaver in their right hand.
"What is the lone youkai doing in this village huh?"
"Are you trying to fill our stomach? Bad children will be eaten by Namahage!"
The two youkai, that was known as Namahage approached me and talked alternatively. This, that girl really did change everything in the east youkai faction, huh. There was no other explanation except that, how could Namahage from Nurarihyon no Mago appear in this world if that was not the case?
I smiled at them and said. "I wanted to invite the villager to join me, follow me in my Hyakki Yakkou."
The Namahage looked at each other for a while before they burst into laughter.
"Bahahaha, a puny youkai like you wanted to invite the Tono as your Hyakki Yakkou?"
"Bahahaha, dream on! Pas"
I don't hate it. It was youkai nature to not bow down to those weaker than them, I am also like that. But, they choose the wrong opponent. I used Kyouka Suigetsu since I walked to this house, and I had passed them a long time ago.
They just talked with my fake, but I will play with them. I smiled, which then imitated by my fake and said.
"Look behind you." As I said that, I erased my fake and appeared behind them along with a cloud of black smoke. They first saw my head, my body, and then my leg as the black smoke slowly show my real body.
"You! That technique! We recognized it!" Shouted the blue Namahage.
"How could you use that technique?! Wait, that idiotic hairstyle!" added the red Namahage.
"Well, it seems you recognized me. It's my time to go." I said as I disappeared from their sight using Meikyo Shisui. I went upstairs as I keep gazing at the way in front of me.
The Namahage shouted something behind me, but I was too focused on the big energy that was on the second floor. I can't contain my smell and I finally stepped my foot on the second floor, which to my surprise was a tatami floor.
A lot of youkai were lining up on the left and right sides. They sat on the tatami floor with a low table in front of them. The numerous youkai was looking at me, no, the stairs. It seems they were waiting for my arrival.
I can't see them clearly, because my sight was obscured by the bamboo curtain that they used to hide their figures.
I don't want to look like a coward, so I walked to the youkai that sat in the middle of the row. The youkai looked like a woman from her shadow, she has no visible feature that shows that she is a youkai.
Because every youkai has a table in front of them, I guessed that they have a sake too on top of that table. Good thing then, I stole a red mini sake cup and a bottle of sake to exchange for a Sakazuki.
When I arrived in front of the youkai in the middle, I canceled my technique and sat down while pouring sake on my cup.
I could visibly feel that the youkai in the room were surprised by my appearance, but the youkai in front of me was more surprised than them.
I raised the sake cup on my right hand and smiled.
"Yo! A good day for a sake, huh?"
