Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Oh no! A rabbit's most sensitive organ is its ears..."

Kousaka Kyosuke, who was stunned, quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Just like the tail of a white wolf.

The ears of the Moon Chaser are the most important and sensitive organs!

It's probably a place that even close friends can't touch casually.

Kyosuke Kosaka seemed to see his favorability rating drop to a negative value, and a "hatred" label was erected above his head.

"you……"

The Moon Chaser, who had been helped up, gradually came to his senses.

Her gaze toward Kyosuke Kosaka was filled with panic and an unconcealable shame.

The strange panting seemed difficult to suppress.

It has just become much weaker, but not as noticeably.

"I am the Bessho (assistant director) of the Kyoto Prosecutor's Office, a high-ranking official in charge of maintaining order in and around Kyoto!"

"I've heard that evil demons lurk here. Could it be you?"

With his thoughts racing, Kousaka Kyosuke questioned Tsukuyomi with righteous indignation.

The Moon Chaser panicked: "No! I am..."

God!

The Moon Chaser God really wanted to shout it out loud.

She wanted to say it, but found it hard to put it into words.

She was just a weak monster.

There were no offerings, and no place to live.

He was just an ordinary person who came to Kyoto seeking survival along with a group of monsters.

Right now, she wants to take over this abandoned shrine and become a god.

But she isn't currently...

Yes, for now.

If we give her more time, she'll definitely be able to do it!

"What is it?" Kousaka Kyosuke asked, looking puzzled.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He strongly suspected that the monster would bite him once he came to his senses.

The saying goes, "Even a rabbit will bite when cornered."

Even if he could defeat the monster in front of him—the Moon Chaser.

He couldn't possibly actually fight.

Kousaka Kyosuke casually swept away the few scattered water stains on the ground, but he didn't have the nerve to actually do it.

One should have basic moral principles.

Kyosuke Kosaka believes that he usually does.

"Yes, yes... You're so annoying! Why are you touching my ear?"

Unable to answer, the Moon Chaser immediately asked Kousaka Kyosuke a question in return.

She felt something was wrong with her body.

This person is to blame!

"Yes, arrest. I don't know if you are a monster who is disturbing the safety of Kyoto."

Kyosuke Kosaka's expression grew increasingly composed.

"You don't care about things that affect your ears?"

"Or perhaps they care more about their reputation?"

—From the moment they met, just by looking at his attire, Kousaka Kyosuke knew that the yokai was the Moon Chaser.

In the story of Onmyoji, a yokai wants to become a god.

However, becoming a god in this world is quite difficult.

Becoming a false god is easier.

Or like the typical example, Ichimokuren.

They might as well transform from gods into monsters.

"I'm not... I was protecting someone."

Are you sure you're protecting someone?

Kyosuke Kosaka pointed to the situation outside.

The Moon Chaser looked out in the direction the finger was pointing.

Even though they were inside the shrine, neither of them were ordinary beings.

Kyosuke Kosaka can observe the outside world through his spiritual power.

The Moon Chaser can also do this through demonic power—

"Follow us."

Upon noticing the unusual presence, Ayanokouji remained silent and calmly walked towards Tobe Sho.

Hobe Sho retreated in fear, letting out a scream like "Waaaaa!"

"My God! I am willing to offer all my faith to help me drive them away and kill them—"

"What are you talking about? You were clearly in the wrong first. What right do you, a lowly commoner, have to offend us by following officials and fleeing the manor on your own?"

Ayanokouji recounted the story calmly.

He looked down on Hubu Xiang in the slightest.

They even looked down on those who frequently borrowed money and grain from Bigegu.

If you've received a benefit, then you should know when to stop.

Even a dog knows to wag its tail to please someone after getting a bone.

In Ayanokouji's eyes, people like Tobu Sho were not even as good as dogs.

“…Kiyotaka.” Hikigaya pressed down hard on Ayanokoji’s shoulder.

Ayanokouji, however, continued forward.

He didn't turn around to look at Hachiman, he just said:

“I will not kill him, because it is the estate manager’s prerogative to deal with him.”

"I'm just trying to reason with him, don't stop me."

Hikigaya's lips twitched.

"You've already launched a psychological attack on this person just by walking over, haven't you?"

That is indeed the case.

When Tobe Sho saw Ayanokouji, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, constantly screaming in alarm.

He wanted to run away, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't even straighten them.

Coupled with his ragged clothes and greasy, messy hair... he looked exactly like a victim.

"..."

The moon-chasing deity inside the shrine remained silent.

She had sensed something was wrong a while ago.

This first believer, who contributed almost nothing to the faith, is highly unusual.

"What exactly is going on between you and him?" Kyosuke Kosaka asked casually.

Seeing that things were gradually returning to calm outside, he immediately interrupted the Moon Chaser's train of thought.

The water stains on the ground seemed to dry very quickly.

But the rich, musky aroma that came from the evaporation really surprised Kyosuke Kousaka!

He desperately wanted to leave immediately.

But doing so will prevent you from capturing Pokémon... no, shikigami.

—Assuming he leaves abruptly, the Moon Chaser will still have a negative impression of him later.

This is detrimental to the future capture of shikigami.

Well, Kousaka Kyosuke and Chai Luna hit it off right away.
