Fantasyland: Oriental Morning Star

At this time, the Shotimaru has completely hidden the characteristics of the youkai, and is taking a shot in the human town with the camera he exchanged for from Keiming.

"I'm also a high-level youkai, and even Ryu-sama says that it won't take me a few hundred years to become a great youkai!"

"That's pretty impressive. But can you turn off the flash when you take pictures!".

Qiming covered his face helplessly. Because the shooting pill did not turn off the flash when taking pictures, the people who saw this scene showed frightened expressions.

But thanks to Keiaki's constant explanations, people thought the two were onmyoji from Kyoto. And the camera in the hand of the shooting pill has become a yin-yang instrument used for recording.

"Na~ Qiming, how do you confirm the soul you are looking for?".

Boredom put away the camera, and Shotimaru began to seriously observe the different human life from the monster mountain.

"This is a prop given to me by my wife, and in addition to the beauties that have been collected, it will be ...... if there is a matching soul nearby."

"Will it shine?".

Before Keiaki could finish his explanation, he was interrupted by the exclamation of the shooting pill. And the bright light also emitted from the square box in Qiming's hand.

"Let's go, let's take a look!".

Although there is no need to rush to set up the ritual, even its initiation needs to wait until Alice is fully grown. But Qiming was afraid of missing the opportunity, and he disappeared without even waiting for the shooting pill.

"Hey, wait for me!".

-

"This ......

".

"This is the soul you're looking for?".

Looking at the middle-aged man curled up in a dark corner, dressed in simple clothes and dirty, Shotimaru showed a disgusted gaze.

"According to the props, this man has a curiosity about the unknown, but he can maintain an upright soul. "

The miserable appearance did not arouse Kaiming's disgust, he just whispered to the Shotimaru Wen about the soul that a man possesses.

"So what are you going to do now? Kill him?".

"I'm not going to do that. You watch from the sidelines, don't mess with me. "

After shaking his head and rejecting Shotimaru's proposal, Keimaki walked out from the side and came to the man's side.

"The gods... Youkai..."

The man didn't respond to Qiming's arrival, but kept repeating something.

"The gods were born from the faith of humans, and the yokai were born from the fear of humans?"

"Is that really the case!".

Qiming's words made the man happy, and the confusion that had been surrounding him seemed to be resolved.

"Friend, why do you keep talking about this question?"

The problem of men is not difficult, but it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the connection between humans, gods, and monsters.

"I'm just curious about humans, youkai, and gods. "

"Now, do you know the answer to the story that has been circulated in the capital?"

"The answer to the story?".

The man knelt in front of Qiming longingly, and the words he said made Qiming frown.

"The true ending of 'The Tale of Taketori' is not a false story that fools people!".

"So what do you think the real ending looks like?".

Because of the different regions, the stories that the men learned were written by Ari Matada and used to circulate them. It's not that the gossip is circulating close to the truth.

"I've never been to the capital, but I don't think five powerful adults would be so obsessed with Kaguya's looks. "

For the man's words, Qiming just shook his head. It was precisely because he had never seen the face of Penglai Mountain Huiye with his own eyes, so he was full of doubts about the attitude of those five people.

"Is this all you're struggling with?"

"No!".

The man's attitude firmly denied Qiming. For him, everything in the story constantly fascinates him.

"I want to know what that Penglai jade branch is! I want to know if the last elixir of immortality has really been destroyed! I want to know if Kaguya is really a goddess in the sky! I want to know ......

."

The man excitedly asked Qiming one question after another, and perhaps only Qiming and Penglai Mountain Huiye could answer these questions for him.

"Do you want to know these answers? Would you like to make an exchange with me?"

"What exchange?".

"I will answer all your questions, and you will give me your soul when you die. "

The man did not doubt Qiming's words, and after hearing the quid pro quo that Qiming said, he asked a new question instead.

"Is there really a soul?".

"The gods and monsters already exist, so why deny the existence of souls?"

Qiming's answer made the man fall into deep thought, and it was a long time before a light appeared in his eyes and he nodded heavily.

"I'm willing to swap!".

"It's a contract that you can sign and I'll be able to answer all your questions. "

With the current ability of Qiming, these means are not really needed, and the contract is just to make the form seem more complete.

"Good!".

The man did not hesitate to sign his name on the contract, and he did not even look at the terms carefully.

"Now that the contract has been made, let's go and experience it for yourself."

After taking the contract back into the space, Qiming used his fingers to modify part of the memory and transmit it into the man's mind.

The man, on the other hand, experienced the true appearance of "The Tale of Taketori" from the perspective of a bystander.

"Is that all it done?".

Ignoring the man who was sitting on the ground with his head tilted back and his eyes glazed. Shotimaru flew to Keiming's side with a camera.

"Well, when he dies, his soul will automatically go to the puppet made by my wife in the Demon Realm. "

In doing so, the Grim Reaper of Hell will not be able to find out where the soul is, and even if it does, it will only find Qiming alone.

"It's going well, let's take a good look around the human town for the rest of the day. "

"Okay!".

-

"Ahh Yes... So that's all there is to it!".

I don't know how long it took for the man to slowly wake up from his dream. He had already understood that the so-called "Tale of Taketori" was nothing more than a conspiracy by the Moon Princess, who had been exiled to the ground, for the sake of a girl.

The man who walked out of the dark corner seemed to be a little crazy, and he kept telling the people around him the true ending of the story.

It's just that everyone thinks of him as a madman, and walks past him in disgust.

"Heh, Penglai Mountain Hui Ye will do this kind of thing for me? "

His long white hair was draped behind him, and his red eyes seemed to be mixed with a bit of resentment. Fujiwara Meihong grabbed Kami-Shirasawa Huiyin and wanted to leave here quickly.

"Yes... Let's go, Meihong. "

Echoing Fujiwara Meihong's words, Kamishirasawa Huiyin showed a somewhat complicated gaze in her invisible perspective.
