Four Preambles

A small mountain village behind the mountain forest.

Not a single person lives there, the hideouts of the monsters.

Many of them also take to the areas where people live. You can also interact with people. But how long have I stopped trying to get into the world too much to be compatible with modern society? Or maybe more, for a variety of reasons.

They are decreasing in number, even though they are inherently long-lived. I was born scarce and more susceptible to illness. Even though it is a monster that they originally assumed to interact with people, Takumi Shizuno speculates that people's contacts have been lost but are therefore on the path of doom.

Approaching the entrance to the village, before tiredness, a girl appeared.

"Bah."

Tired smiles when she sees a girl who is lovingly threatening. The girl had the exact same face and back length as she was tired, but even from the top of her clothes she could see a slight swelling in her chest. Then the head has ears, and the waist has tails.

"I... am a man."

"Seriously. But you look like a monkey. I like it. All right, I'm gonna make this face today."

When tired points out, the girl smiles and laughs with the same face as tired. Unlike tired voices, it's the girl's.

"What can you do for such a despicable place, also known as Takumi Shizuno?

Moving the fox's ears and tail, the tired girl asks with an uncontrolled smile. She knew exactly how tired she was. Naturally, you also knew you were a man, so you must have deliberately become a woman's body tired.

That was over thirty years ago.

There are shrines throughout Japan. Perhaps it is unusual for the Japanese to say that they have never entered the shrine.

But is there anyone in the shrine who has never been inside a building such as a main shrine or a shrine?

The little shrine had a shrine as soon as it came in from a birdhouse, and it was like there was no way in. The grounds are about half the size of a small park. There is a shrine where worshippers worship, and a main shrine where the Divine Body sits, next to the main shrine is a small company - the Regent's End. There are no other buildings. There is always a dog.

Next to the main hall and worship hall is a narrow empty space, a land for use during festivals, but usually children play there.

A monster emerges from within the temple in that little shrine named "Mij" Shrine at Ming Hour. Rumors like that came from the kids at first.

Few believed it to be a monster, although in time the elderly worshipping the shrine witnessed and photographed it. Somehow it just showed the old man who shot it.

Says the monster turns into the same figure as a witness who was on the spot.

Rumored to be a doppelgenger, the children only got close to the shrine at any time.

A master was called to stay in the shrine temple for a few days, but only when did the master go missing.

As a result, not only the children, but even the adults were no longer close. There was no damage to the shrine and the adjacent house, but the shrine itself was treated as a swelling.

But six months after the rumors started coming out. Shrines are to be used for summer festivals, and we cannot avoid summer festivals with stories of monsters.

Since many of the town's youth groups were quite wealthy landowners, they decided to hire new talent that they might be able to rely on.

That was six years ago.

Tomorrow, Byusuke Mijitsuki lived for revenge - he was going to.

But with the passage of many years and knowing the difference in power between the vengeful opponent and himself and, above all, the change in the mind of the vengeful opponent, the vengeful mind in Bhusuke has become infinitely smaller. I don't hate them anymore.

I have honed my powers to avenge my revenge. Not to be called one who has a life that has passed, but he has even acquired immortality and lived for more than a hundred and sixty years, but he has realized that no matter how old he is, he will not be avenged.

Now Busuke had given up his revenge completely, he had reconciled with the person he resented, and his resentment had disappeared beautifully and completely. My life is like an omelet now.

Ming Hour Busuke is the last survivor of a witchcraft school called Ming Hour Witchcraft. Implementing the art of immortality, he looks like a young man in his twenties, but he has lived since the Taisho period.

But Busuke is not the owner of enough power to be called Overlife. In addition, infinite life expectancy has not been achieved in the physical sphere, but in the mental sphere, the so-called immortality is not proper. Thus, as he grew older, his emotions grew dull, as if his sensibilities were going to diminish.

Byusuke thinks he wants to die before all his emotions disappear any day.

One day, Busuke heard strange rumors. At Ming Hour Shrine, there will be monsters who will turn into worshippers.

Ming Shi Shrine origins, as its name suggests, have a subtle connection to Ming Shi Jing magic. A few hundred years ago, a freshly built shrine was named after a magician from Ming Shing Jing Dynasty, thanking him for the ordeal he had inflicted on him.

Due to its extremely high spiritual magnetic field, Busuke came to this shrine to cure after a hard job.

When Busuke visited the shrine, it was up to him to prepare for the summer festival. And I did feel signs of demons in the shrine.

Being a land with a high spiritual magnetic field can call for suspicion, but spirits and monsters full of malice and evil will be tempered by the Yang Qi produced by the festival. But this...

(This demon is a higher dimensional substitute. I'm not that kind of person)

Those with low stature as monsters are no different from animals and evil spirits. I can handle it to the extent that it is obnoxious. But to an intelligent and spiritual monster, how can you do this?

That was six years ago, too.

It was a festive night around Adult Day.

Each year, in January, August and September, two days of festivals are held at the Mingshi Shrine in Amusement City, bringing together the people of the town.

Tomorrow morning Busuke took a figure and visited the Ming Hour Shrine festival.

The shrine is small, and the festival is a whisper. The number of stalls is single-digit. Still, the people of the town were gathered together in large numbers and enjoying the festival.

"Fine... people... aren't we gathered...? I heard it's less..."

A boy walking to cling to Busuke says, wearing Parker's hood in his eyes and looking uncomfortable.

"Fewer people than the big shrine festival"

Busuke spills a smile and strokes the boy's head over the hood.

"But... I can't believe I'm stuck with you like this and having a good day at the festival. I want you to see me a hundred years ago."

Looking up at the night sky with a distant eye, Busuke smiles.

"At night...... that's a good thing. Holy time....... At this hour... a little bit of my heart... calms down..."

A boy raises his hood a little and looks up at the night sky just like Busuke.

(Still to me... I still have a heart that thinks the night sky is beautiful, and a complicated feeling about being with this guy. My heart is not completely dead. But... how long will it last too...)

Though his stern, good-young appearance is maintained, Busuke, whose old heart is accelerating, feels strongly both appeased and anxious when he realizes his heart is filled. But if my heart really dies, I know I won't even feel this anxiety.

"You should get used to it."

As if to mislead his dark feelings, Busuke smiles at the boy.

"That sounds... difficult..."

The boy's dialogue stopped.

"Tired? What's up?

Boy - I see something wrong with my tiredness, and Busuke speaks up. A tired gaze nails one of the festival guests.

At the end of his tired gaze, he looked like a girl in his late teens. Slightly cat-backed, but a beautiful girl inside.

"Wave Soldiers... Great Aggregation of Edges"

I squirm with a face where tiredness is about to cry.

"You know him?

"Her previous life... she was my best friend..."

Tired answers Hideyosuke asking with a trembling voice.

"Well... I'd like to speak to you..."

"You're going to let me help you with your numbness. Oh, my God. I've lived for over a hundred and sixty years, but I've never had a numb..."

Tired of looking up at herself and asking her as she dwells, the good and humble help of a person becomes troubled without even being able to say no.

"Er... can I have a moment..."

Keeping his tired hands off, he approached the girl eating the octopus, and this one speaks softly, Busuke.

At that point, the girl was not alarmed, as Busuke, who was quite a beautiful man, had a pulled smile, and was looking blatantly embarrassed and yet with children.

"Um... well... I'd like to numb you..."

"Huh?"

But the girl glanced at Busuke's hesitant and straightforward demands. Although she is a beautiful girl, she has a slight stare, so her expression feels tight now.

(I mean, Kako, you're obviously not strong. I feel like a resident of the back street)

Busuke looks at the girl and thinks.

"Not me, but what is this guy? He fell in love with you at first sight..."

With that said, Busuke let him turn his tired hood.

The soft hair of the platinum blonde overflows and the seemingly poor look on the girl's face is dewy. In the thin lights of the night, in return, the tired beauty of the white skin was visible.

Seen as a tired angel's mysterious appearance, the girl was taking her breath, but remembered more of a strange feeling. It's like we met somewhere, nostalgic.

"Ah... Um..."

Threatened, but tired looks up at the girl with a hot gaze.

"It's been a long time...... Wavemen."

If I gave this name, the memory of the previous life that my soul remembered would be shaken, and I expected tiredness to see if there was anything to feel -

"Huh...? Do I look bald to you?

Tired was slightly discouraged by the girl who looked at her again.

That was nearly seven years ago.
