I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"No, that... no... I'm still far behind my brothers at home... That's why I wanted to come out and train, hoping to catch up with them."

Seeing Hanakaiin Yuura's reaction, Ashiya Doman had a deep smile in his obsidian eyes.

"Miss Yuura is really hardworking... In that case, I'll let you lead the way. The monsters' lair is in the abandoned city east of the city. If you go there alone, you might get lost."

"Huh? Really? You're such a nice person!"

Hanakaiin Yuura looked at Ashiya Doman with sparkling eyes, but she suddenly remembered something, and a hint of confusion crossed her face. "But if Mr. Limbo already knows the location of the monsters, then that means they are your prey, right? Is it really okay to leave it to me?"

"Mmmmm...you're such a thoughtful little lady, but you're just worrying too much about this."

Ashiya Doman bent down slightly, pointed at himself and smiled. "As you can see, I'm just an ordinary, frail Onmyoji. Although I did find the locations of those monsters, they are beyond my ability to deal with. I'm thinking of finding someone to help me... If Yuura could come along, it would be a real help."

"Is that so... then leave it all to me!"

Hanakaiin Yuura, with a rosy face and a straightened back, said confidently, "On the honor of Hanakaiin, I will exorcise all the evil monsters plaguing this city and protect Mr. Limbo's safety!"

"Fufufu! Ms. Yuura is so reliable."

Ashiya Doman felt that Hanakaiin Yuura was as innocent as a child. He just coaxed her a little and she looked so happy, which made him feel very happy.

He could see that the reason why Hanakaiin Yuura had such a personality was probably because she was well protected by her family and had little exposure to the darkness of human nature.

"I was worried about being discovered. It seems that the ancestor of the Hanakaiin family is not here now, otherwise it would be much more difficult for me to contact Yuura."

Ashiya Doman was certainly aware of how suspicious he was. Before, the monsters from the Nura clan would basically attack him whenever they saw him.

Therefore, before coming into contact with Hanakaiin Yuura, Ashiya Doman cast a spell to make the other party ignore the suspicious parts of his body, but this was not a very advanced spell, at least he did not think that this spell could completely deceive Yuura's brother Hanakaiin Ryuji and Hanakaiin's ancestor Hanakaiin Hidemoto, who were suspicious by nature.

Hanakaiin Yuura is the most talented Onmyoji of this generation of the Hanakaiin family. He possesses a powerful mental power that can control multiple Shikigami at the same time, and has inherited the seven Shikigami passed down from the Hanakaiin family's ancestors. These seven Shikigami correspond to the Big Dipper.

Among them, the strongest Shikigami with the name [Pojun] is actually the soul of the deceased successive heads of the Hanakaiin family, and Hanakaiin Hidemoto is the best among all the heads of the Hanakaiin family.

However, it seems that Hanakaiin Hidemoto's soul is now dormant, waiting for Hanakaiin Yuura's next summons. Otherwise, if a suspicious guy like Ashiya Doman suddenly came over and made contact with Hanakaiin Yuura, that guy would definitely have run out of control due to his worry.

"I understand. I understand very well. If it were my child, I would never allow her to get too close to someone as suspicious as me. She'd be led astray, wouldn't she? She'd become a lunatic who delights in the world's misfortunes, wouldn't she? If she lived like that, it would be far too painful and tragic."

Ashiya Michiman said these self-deprecating words quite nonchalantly.

While leading Hanakaiin Yuura, Ashiya Doman remembered the two shikigami who "guarded" the fantasy tree in hell.

"Even though I thought it was fun, I asked them to pretend to be Ibaraki and Shuten for a bit, but I think you're being a bitch. You're sticking to your roleplay and not being OOC. If I hadn't known they were pretending, I would have thought their real selves had been summoned from Chaldea."

Because the memories are shared between the Shikigami, Ashiya Doman saw and remembered the performance of the male Ibaraki Douji from beginning to end. Every time he recalled it, he felt extremely satisfied, just like sitting in an air-conditioned room on a hot day in the dog days of summer while a beautiful woman washes and massages your feet.

When seeing that scene, many Shikigami from all over Japan, such as Ashiya Doman, would shout crazily, "He believed it, he believed it, he believed it, he believed it...", "Boss Hongzhong is so good at playing it" and other crazy words.

……

As night falls, in a Japanese-style house, a cherry tree stands proudly under the soft and quiet moonlight. The fragrance of cherry blossoms gently permeates the air, interweaving with the night breeze.

Beneath the tree, a pool of water as clear as a mirror lies quietly. The stars in the night sky, the blooming cherry blossoms and the human figures on the branches are all reflected in the water.

Lazily lying on the tree branch, Nurarihyon... or rather, Ashiya Doman who was dressed like Nurarihyon, covered his stomach and laughed sharply.

"Hahaha! That expression of doubt about reality is so funny. Deceiving people is so fun! This is addictive, right? Have I also been poisoned by the Way of Forgetfulness? Hehehe... Hahahaha!"

This is the headquarters of the Nura group. Ever since he played the role of Nura Wakana and killed the monsters of the Hyaku Monogatari group, he has been staying here for some reasons.

The little monsters wandering in the yard heard Nurarihyon's undisguised and arrogant laughter, and they all looked at each other with strange expressions.

"That's the person who rescued Wakana-sama last time, right?"

"Really... She looks exactly like Wakana-sama. I can't tell them apart."

"That's why he was able to deceive the intruder last time. It's said that the intruder disguised himself as a member of the team and broke in, and no one in the team noticed."

"This is terrifying... If something happens to Wakana-sama, I wonder what will become of the Shodaime and Sandaime, and what will become of the Nura Clan..."

"I think I saw someone coming. Is that Wakana-sama?"

The sound of wooden clogs and the person approaching the cherry tree with his back to the candlelight of the mansion had the exact same appearance as "Nurarihyona" on the branch.

"Limbo, even though you're my savior, could you please not laugh in my face at that high-pitched laugh that could scare a child to tears?"

Stopping under the tree, the real Nurarihyon Wakana raised her head and put her hands on her hips, trying to make an expression of "I'm very angry", "You are really bothering me."

Chapter 554: Nu Liang Wakana.

"Even if you say so, I am not a good person."

Being caught red-handed by the real owner, "Nurarihyona" who was half lying on the branch did not show any embarrassment on her face. Instead, she covered her red lips with her sleeves and showed a charming smile. Then she shook her body and floated down from the tree.

Because of his movements, several cherry blossoms on the branches were shaken down and landed on the surface of the pond under the tree like floating boats.

The clothes fluttered, and the small feet in wooden clogs stepped lightly on the flower petals. Ripples spread silently on the water, reflecting the figure with the moonlight draped over her body.

Afterwards, "Nurarihyon" walked onto the shore with graceful steps, stepping on the flower petals, and stood next to Nurarihyon.

"Also... I haven't been a man for a long time, so I'm a little excited. If this bothers you, I apologize, Miss Wakana."

The laughter that came out from the red lips was no longer as sharp and mocking as before, but as clear and pleasant as wind chimes played in the breeze.

When two people with the same appearance stand together, "Nurarihyon" is more feminine than Nurarihyon.

Nurarihyona herself feels the same way.

"As expected, Limbo is so charming..."

Walking around Nurarihyon again and again, Nurarihyon exclaimed repeatedly, "You look exactly like me... Could I be so charming?"

It's only natural for him to be charming. How many beautiful girls has he played? Yaolan, Altria, Ash, Bawanshi, Okita Souji, Nero, Kiichi Hōgan... Though their styles differ greatly, they are all undoubtedly super-beautiful girls who could never exist in reality, existing only in fantasy. Some are awe-inspiring, some gentle, some elegant, some lively, some noble, each with their own charm.

"Miss Wakana is already attractive enough, why do you have to belittle yourself?"

Nura Wakana half-closed her beautiful eyes and glanced at the surrounding youkai. "As a pure human, she was married to the Second Daehan of the Nura Clan, and even accepted by so many youkai... Every time I see this scene, I am amazed and can't close my mouth."

"Because everyone is a very nice person. Isn't Limbo getting along well with everyone these days?"

"Mmmmm... Is that what Ms. Wakana thinks?"

"Nura Wakana" just shook her head and didn't say much.

If he revealed his true nature, powerful monsters would punch him the first time they saw him, and weak monsters would run away in fear. If it weren't for his merit in protecting Nurarihyon and Nurarihyon's own guarantee, he would probably have been kicked out of the Nurarihyon group long ago.

This is enough to show how high Nura Wakana's reputation is in the Nura group. She is obviously just an ordinary human being, and does not even have the special ability to heal wounds like Nura Nagisa's wife Yingji. Apart from her overly cheerful personality, she seems to have nothing special.

Bathed in the cool moonlight, two women who looked exactly the same walked side by side, their relationship as harmonious as a pair of childhood sweethearts, like twin sisters.

Many Nura clan monsters in the mansion saw this scene and inevitably had some conversations.

"Lady Wakana is staying with that outsider again."

"Wakana-sama is smiling so happily."

"I really don't know what Wakana-sama was thinking. She allowed such a suspicious guy to stay in the Nura Clan, and the Shodaime agreed to it."

"I don't think that person is a bad person. After all, she saved Wakana-sama's life."

"Perhaps Wakana-sama has known that person for a long time. Otherwise, why would he come to us specifically to save Wakana-sama?"

"After all, Wakana-sama is such a nice person. Even people outside the Nura group will like Wakana-sama very much, right?"

As the organization grows, other voices are bound to appear, but the vast majority of the members of the Nura Group are still loyal to the Nura Group, so most of the whispers that "Nura Wakana" heard were also out of goodwill and trust towards Nura Wakana.

"Hehe! This feels really good."

Nurarihyon raised her hand to cover her lips and chuckled softly, the joy in her smile coming from the heart. "Walking with Limbo like this, it feels like we're sisters... To be honest, I've wanted a younger sister for a long time. After all, although everyone in the group is very kind, they're always too restrained around me."

Nurarihyon frowned slightly. Even he felt a little helpless about Nurarihyon's thick skin. "Generally speaking, if someone who looks exactly like you suddenly appears in front of you, a normal person's first reaction should be panic and fear, right?"

Since it can change into one's own appearance, it can replace oneself, just like the previous Yamamoto's [Face] Juzaburo, and the "clones" and "pseudo-people" in urban legends, all of which prove that humans will naturally feel fear when they see beings that are exactly the same as themselves.

"Why be afraid? Wouldn't this be much more convenient?"

Nurarihyon tapped her lips with her finger, uttered a puzzled sound, then excitedly raised her arms and began to fantasize, "If I had a sister who looked exactly like me, then if I didn't want to go to school one day, I could just let my sister go to school in my place, and then I could go out and play without worry!"

After hearing such innocent words, Nurarihyon retorted subconsciously: "What about your sister? She has to go to school too, right? What will happen to her if she goes to school instead of you?"

"Huh? This..."

The cheering stopped abruptly, and the smile on Nurarihyona's face turned awkward. "It seems... I miscalculated, I miscalculated."

She is innocent and lively, and she does whatever she wants. I believe that when everyone sees Nurarihyona, they will not believe that the child of such a girl can not only play a supporting role but also save the world.

With her eyelids slightly lowered, "Nura Wakana" recalled... Not long ago, after the Hyakumonogatari Group was defeated, Nura Rikuo returned home with his subordinates. Nura Wakana thought it was interesting, so she asked him not to remove his disguise and stood in front of Nura Rikuo and the others together to see if they could tell who was real and who was fake.

It was also because of Nurarihyon's request that he has not removed his disguise until now, and has been wandering around the Nurarihyon group with this face. In the beginning, he made a lot of mistakes, which is what Nurarihyon wanted to see.

In a very spacious Japanese-style room.

There is only tatami and a small low table, so it looks so spacious.

This house is full of rooms like this, because there are too many monsters living here that ordinary people cannot see. Monsters with the ability to protect themselves will leave the main house as small organizations and have their own territories, while small monsters that even ordinary people are afraid of will stay in the main house, so empty rooms like this are indispensable, otherwise it will appear too crowded.

"The exquisite snacks from the Cat House, and the steaming hot tea."

Sitting opposite Nurarihyon, Nurarihyon clasped her hands together with a smile on her face, "This is... a tea party! A special edition of the Tea Party Sisters!"

Because Nurarihyon suddenly had the idea of ​​holding a tea party, he dragged Nurarihyon here. Of course, the monsters that were originally in the room had been asked to leave in advance.

This is also for their own good. After all, weak monsters like them would not want to stay in the same room with such an evil being as Nurarihyon. If he couldn't help but emit a little malice, these little monsters might suffer heavy casualties.

"I've wanted to have a tea party with my sister for a long time. Thank you Limbo for fulfilling my wish."

Having said this, Nurarihyon stood up slightly and poured the dark green tea into two teacups that looked very old. After only a moment, the unique fragrance of the famous tea filled the empty room, making Nurarihyon look sideways slightly.

"This teacup... I see. Is it a Tsukumogami?"

Although the name contains the word "god", the essence of Tsukumogami is a monster. People in this country generally believe that if an object is left unattended for a hundred years, it will absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, accumulate resentment, or comprehend the Buddha nature and spirituality, and gain a soul to become a monster. However, monsters born in this way generally have little combat power.

After all, items such as teacups, combs, and umbrellas are not meant to be combat tools. Even if they gain intelligence and become monsters, you can't make them suddenly become very powerful. If weapons such as swords and guns become tsukumogami, they will most likely inherit the skills of the previous user.

"Hmm! Did you see that? They are really cute little guys."

Nura Wakana glanced at the other person with a hint of surprise, then nodded and boasted about the teacups in her hand. "Because the tea brewed with them has a special aroma, I asked for them. It tastes very good, and after drinking it, there is a refreshing feeling."

"After all, he's already a 'god', so it's normal for him to have some special abilities."

Speaking nonchalantly, Nurarihyon glanced at the teacup in her hand, then looked up at Nurarihyon and said, "By the way, do you really treat me as your sister?"

"What's wrong with that? Come on, call me sister."

"Why should I call a woman who is not even one-tenth of my age "sister"?

Nurarihyona blew on the steaming tea, took a sip, and said absentmindedly, "Besides, having a villain like me as your sister will only make your future unhappy."

"There you go again, Limbo. Why do you always have to put yourself down like this?"

Seeing the other person take a sip of tea, Nurarihyon subconsciously picked up the teacup, but after touching it with her fingers, she found that it was still too hot, so she put it down again, and then stared at "Nurarihyon" across the table with an angry look.

Locked in by that serious gaze, Nurarihyona frowned imperceptibly, but her tone remained flawless: "Mmmmm...don't belittle me, I'm telling the truth."

"That's not the case! Limbo is obviously a good person."

Nurarihyon's attitude was unexpectedly firm.

"That's because you are just an ordinary person, so you can't perceive my true nature."

Nura Wakana propped her cheek with one hand and spoke slowly in a nonchalant tone, "Look at the Nura Clan. They've always been wary of me, right? Because they've all seen that my true nature is darker and more evil than even youkai. If I had to use a metaphor... uh uh... yes, it's like a black sun formed from condensed malice."

"Well...but..."

Nurarihyon's eyes narrowed slightly, and she revealed a troubled and entangled expression, as if she was pondering a very difficult question. "Those bad black things... are just your disguise, Limbo?"

Then, Nurarihyon shook her head and dismissed the thought.

"No, no, the word 'disguise' shouldn't be used... it should be 'outerwear'? That's right, 'outerwear'! Just like people put on thick clothes to keep warm in the cold winter, Limbo, you also want to protect yourself, want to protect the people or things you care about, so you wrap yourself in that evil thing, right?"

"..."

The more she thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense. A smile broke out on Nurarihyon's face, and she didn't notice the slightly changing look in "Nurarihyon's" eyes.

"Miss Wakana...why do you feel that way?"

"Because... I feel like your nature is totally incompatible with that evil thing."

With her arms resting on the table, Nurarihyona supported her chin with her palms, and her beautiful eyes with a smile seemed to be able to speak.

"Actually, there's one thing I agree with about what you just said, Limbo. Your essence is like the sun. Not some dark, evil sun, but the sun that brings warmth to the earth in early spring."

With a smile on her lips and a pair of beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons, Nurarihyona spoke with an innocent and smug smile, "Even if you are covered by that black thing, even if no one can see it... don't even think about deceiving my eyes, hehe~!"

The steam from the tea is rising.
