This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame

Under the Aura of Death vision, the benevolent thoughts swirling around the other party were clearly visible.

The total amount of those benevolent thoughts was astonishing; just estimating by looking, it seemed to exceed the combined benevolence of Nishijou Kurenai and Shenzhu Shihui.

But before Beichuan Si could speak, the other party had already begun to speak first:

"Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Beichuan."

"...Someone from the Mouchi family?"

Beichuan Si flipped his wrist, a shimmering silver light glowed beneath his sleeve.

"Yes... but also no." The woman in the black kimono turned her head to look at Beichuan Si.

She nodded with a calm expression, then shook her head.

Yes and no?

Beichuan Si raised an eyebrow.

Could it be that this woman wanted to discuss some philosophical matters with him?

The woman turned her head again, her gentle voice resonated once more.

"A fisherman's duty is to fish, a ferryman's duty is to ferry people across the river... Some consider this their principal duty, what they should do..."

"But in reality, the reason they do these things is merely to fish for a living, to ferry people for money... Ultimately, it's just about survival."

Her words stopped here, as if leaving a hint of something left unsaid.

The woman tilted her head, her black eyes fixed unblinkingly on Beichuan Si:

"In terms of duty and blood relations, I am indeed a member of the Mouchi family, but this time I've temporarily set aside my Mouchi family duties, which serve as my means of survival, to meet Mr. Beichuan, hence I could also say I'm not from the Mouchi family."

As she spoke, she continuously observed Beichuan Si, then she revealed a hint of an unreadable expression: "Such heavy 'purification'... is it? I see."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Beichuan Si rotated his wrist, constantly watching the woman's movements.

"What I want to say... isn't really important for Mr. Beichuan, more important is what Mr. Beichuan wants to hear, right?"

The other party stepped back, her voice softly stating: "At two in the afternoon, I'll be waiting for Mr. Beichuan at the Mouchi family. At that time, I'll answer some of Mr. Beichuan's questions accordingly."

After saying this, the woman turned and left.

The sound of wooden clogs clashing with the ground rang crisply.

And then—

The clogs stopped, the woman in the black kimono raised her head slightly surprised.

Because Beichuan Si had already straightforwardly blocked her path.

Seeing her somewhat surprised expression, Beichuan Si said expressionlessly: "Since you know about my matters, you naturally know about future matters, and the 'Mouchi Witch' thing should also be regarded as relatively confidential in the Mouchi family. Based on my speculation, you should be someone of relatively high status in the Mouchi family, right."

Mouchi Qingluo, who was responsible for the Tokyo Region, didn't even know the purpose of searching for the Mouchi Witch, yet the woman before him seemed very clear about it, which indicated the high status of the woman in the black kimono.

If that's the case—

Then letting her go was even less of an option!

Daring to appear directly before him, yet still being a high-level figure in the Mouchi family...

"What do you intend to do?"

The woman in the black kimono's face tensed, a flash of panic crossing her eyes.

This time she contacted Beichuan Si in advance, hoping to make him believe she was someone unfathomable.

But...

Seeing Beichuan Si's eyes glittering, the woman in the black kimono lost the optimism she initially had.

"What do I intend to do?" Beichuan Si looked at the woman in the black kimono before him, also a bit puzzled by the meaning of her question.

At present, he could be considered as having an antagonistic relationship with the Mouchi family to some extent.

Faced with a source of information that could be directly questioned, would he choose to let it go?

That's simply impossible, right?

Even though the other party said a bunch of verbose, seemingly philosophical words just now, that doesn't fundamentally change the fact that she was weaker than him.

"Could it be that you think just because you said a few convoluted words, sounding like philosophy, I would simply let you go?"

Beichuan Si squinted his eyes and asked back.

"Ah..." The woman in the black kimono opened her mouth wide.

According to Beichuan Si's perspective... this was indeed the truth.

If Shen Gu Mirai was placed in front of the woman in the black kimono, she surely wouldn't let Shen Gu Mirai go either.

It's a very normal way of thinking.

With things said to this extent, Beichuan Si didn't continue to ramble. He flipped his wrist, and the Death Aura Hammer appeared.

Fortunately, it was still early in the morning, and there were not many people on this coastal road, which allowed Beichuan Si to act so brazenly!

"What do you intend to do?!"

The woman in the black kimono cried out in shock and anger.

"...." Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si was at a loss for words.

He felt that this woman in the black kimono might not be thinking straight.

Wasn't it clear what he wanted to do?

Beichuan Si shook his head and strode forward directly.

The woman in the black kimono symbolically unleashed a few good spirits, but Beichuan Si dodged them with incredible speed.

And then—

Then she was directly restrained by Beichuan Si reaching out.

The woman in the black kimono widened her eyes, seemingly never expecting things to develop this way.

She hurriedly shouted, "Stop! I am the current head of the Mouchi family! Mouchi Mashi!"

Mouchi Mashi directly asserted her identity, hoping to intimidate Beichuan Si.

"Isn't this even better?" Beichuan Si's eyes started to shine.

Isn't this even better?!

A family head knows more information! They know more secrets about the Mouchi Witch!

This is fundamentally a moving source of human information!

Beichuan Si had been hesitating whether to knock this woman out directly.

Upon learning the other's identity, his original hesitation turned into joyous decisiveness.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand.

A hammer struck her on the head.

The force was just enough to knock Mouchi Mashi unconscious.

He directly carried her over his shoulder, while breaking out in full speed towards the Nakajima family, muttering to himself, "Didn't expect to meet the current family head of the Mouchi family while out for a stroll..."

Then he added quietly:

"Good thing this family head seems a bit naive, appearing right in front of me and giving me such a huge opportunity."

Mouchi Mashi probably relied on her identity as family head, not fearing anyone.

She surely believed that Beichuan Si would hesitate to act against her due to her family head status, which is why she showed up so brazenly in front of him.

But the final result was that Beichuan Si wasn't swayed by her status.

When in doubt, lead with the hammer.

Went out to relax, ended up taking the Mouchi family head home.

This was indeed a good thing.

Beichuan Si couldn't help but think.

He turned his head, looking at Mouchi Mashi's unconscious visage with her mouth agape, feeling content.

Such a willingly given family head, hopefully more to come in the future.

...

Mouchi Mashi woke up to a loud noise.

Upon waking, she could still feel the disorientation deep within her mind.

She shook her head, instinctively glancing around.

Then she discovered someone was watching her.

And it wasn't just one person!

One was a woman in a white kimono sitting directly in front of her, a good spirit.

Tears dotted the corners of her eyes, her pupils were exquisite, appearing quite cultured.

Another was a good spirit holding a game console, dressed in a witch's outfit, who, upon seeing her wake up, hurriedly turned around, noisily calling Beichuan Si's name.

And there was another...

"Hmm...?"

Mouchi Mashi couldn't help turning her head.

It was a doll spirit, though it appeared tattered, with a ferocious face... but it was indeed a good spirit.

The spirit earnestly stitched something with a thin needle.

And as it sensed Mouchi Mashi's gaze, the doll spirit instinctively looked up.

Button eyes met hers.

Then—

The doll spirit's body arched backward, falling onto the ground with a thud, seemingly frightened by her gaze.

"????" Mouchi Mashi.

She opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to speak.

Then heard a cold voice coming from above.

"You're awake?"
