Therefore, in the instant of the confrontation, it became a crushing situation where Huang single-handedly captured the big cat.
"Meow!"
Concerned about their master being captured by bad guys, Tachibana and the three little creatures that were summoned screamed and immediately launched a counterattack, attempting to take their master back.
However, this intention was thwarted by the long katana that suddenly emerged from nothingness and positioned itself horizontally in their path of attack.
If it weren't for his master's orders, this would likely have been more than just a simple rebuke.
"Can we have a brief chat now?"
After glancing at the four cat demons who were meowing and whimpering but dared not advance easily, Huang released the cat girl's slender, smooth wrist.
"After all, you should have seen that you can't beat me."
Ignoring the cat shopkeeper's silence and hostile gaze, he continued.
"What's there to say?"
"Thief, murderer!"
The cat girl could not deny the fact that she was no match for the cat, but this did not cause her to soften her words or attitude in any way.
In his mind, he had already made up his mind that even if the other party was not the direct murderer of the store manager, the fact that he carried the criminal's aura and was still defending that guy was enough to show that there was an unavoidable relationship between the two.
As he drew closer to the cat shopkeeper's pure and unwavering eyes, Huang Bujing mentally berated the Moon Chaser once more. He was clearly just a homeless false god who had taken over the shrine of Inari God Miketsu while she was away, yet he promised to grant all requests.
Moreover, divination was not within her capabilities, which left her with many troubles.
"You went to the Inari Shrine to pray in the hope of finding the murderer's identity, right?"
"But do you know that the one existing in the shrine at that time was not Inari goddess Miketsuhime herself?"
Huang spoke with a strange expression, conveying a message that was hard to believe, because apart from the god himself, who would dare to swagger around and act as the master?
Doing that would be tantamount to disregarding the sacred Takamagahara!
But that guy, Chasing Moon God, did exactly that.
They even gradually positioned themselves as the masters of the shrine and fulfilled the wishes of those who came to pray.
Upon hearing this, the cat shopkeeper did not speak, but his eyes, as clear as jade, looked as if he were looking at a fool telling a clumsy lie.
Perhaps if she hadn't realized she couldn't beat him, needed to save her own life to seek revenge on her real enemies, and fulfilled the shopkeeper's dying wish, she would have already attacked the human Onmyoji in front of her with two 'bang bang' claws.
"Then let's watch it again."
Ara knew he couldn't reveal the truth of the past with just a few words, so he directly used the Sharingan's abilities.
Suddenly, the cat shopkeeper's memories were unearthed, going back to the time when he carried fine wine to the Inari Shrine.
In the shadows cast by the shrine, a slender figure silently listened to the wishes of those who prayed. Although the shadow cast by the shrine made it difficult to see the person standing inside the hall clearly, let alone discern their features, it was still possible to vaguely make out that the person had a pair of long rabbit ears.
This shares similar characteristics with the murderer in the water that the gods showed him.
“Mizuki doesn’t have these rabbit ears, right?”
The memory abruptly ended.
After a brief pause, Huang spoke to the somewhat dazed catgirl.
"But so what?"
Her voice rose a little, unwilling to let her conviction waver.
"This means that this is not guidance from a true deity."
"It's more likely just the reflection of some little monster who desperately wants to become a god."
Huang shared his speculations.
"But that may be the truth."
"She accidentally revealed her identity!"
However, the cat shopkeeper did not buy it.
The hatred in those sharp eyes extended to the human in front of him who was constantly trying to protect the criminal.
Huang was naturally aware of this possibility.
They also considered whether it was that stupid rabbit who did it. After all, during the time when the demon was down on his luck and wandering around, the Moon Chaser God seemed to have also stolen other people's wine and food.
But given the kind nature of that wine shop owner, she would be the kind of person who would offer help.
Upon seeing the hungry Moon Chaser, they would likely offer him food and water, just as they had done to the Cat Shopkeeper.
Of course, if it is ultimately proven that the incident was committed by that stupid rabbit, then the only thing left to do is for the latter to find a way to atone for his sins.
"What, aren't you going to defend her?"
"If you know where she is, please tell me."
"This is a grudge between her and me."
The kitten's voice still held hostility. The only thing that made it happy was that this journey had led it to a clue about its enemy.
"Ok, I know."
Huang replied.
"But not now."
However, the subsequent additions directly extinguished the former's desire for his enemy.
Even if the Moon Chaser were summoned here to take her to court, it would be completely meaningless. If she wanted to explain, she would have already done so when she saw her own reflection in the water.
"As expected, you want to protect that sinner."
Upon hearing this, the cat shopkeeper's face turned completely cold, and his icy voice kept people at arm's length.
However, this is nothing. Over the years, she has accumulated enough wealth by running the proprietress's wine shop, and she will soon be able to pray to the gods again or hire a powerful yin-yang master to avenge herself.
Naturally, this thought was carefully kept in his heart and not revealed to the outside world.
Do you still keep her belongings?
Without trying to guess what the kitten was thinking, Ara asked the cat girl in his field of vision.
"doing what?"
The cat shopkeeper remained vigilant, after all, this was a human who had sheltered that sinner, and could be directly classified as a bad person!
"It's good that it's been preserved."
"I will give you the truth someday."
The ability he had in mind was to use that person's relics to summon their soul to the mortal world through the [Nether Butterfly]. However, considering the agreement between himself and the Lord of the Underworld, he had no choice but to give up on that idea.
After all, this last chance to leverage resources must be used for something more important.
The cat shopkeeper, having received a one-sided promise, did not reply. She looked at the young Onmyoji in front of her, but could not fathom what he was thinking.
To drag oneself into this world and then say strange things.
"Who cares about you?"
"But before that, that guy was the murderer I believed to be!"
"I want to go back."
He did not simply assume, based on these few words, that the young Onmyoji in front of him would reveal the truth.
Furthermore, she became even more convinced of the facts she saw with her own eyes.
"Ah."
Huang did not stop them. After signaling Hai Ren to make way for the four little cat demons, he let them leave.
The contract was not signed, but that famous tavern on the outskirts of Kyoto should be easy to find.
Summoning a yokai that harbors hatred towards a shikigami with whom you have already formed a contract without being fully prepared is indeed a bit too hasty.
"Finally, it's time to fulfill my promise to you."
After accepting the failure of the contract, two more summoning talismans and two bottles of bright red blood appeared in Huang's hands.
The blood belonged to Kidomaru and Tayuya, two members of the Sound Four, and the target they summoned was:
"Your name,"
"White Wolf".
"Sleep."
Two pentagram formations rose together.
Accompanied by the clinking of metal rings, a girl dressed as a delinquent was the first to emerge from the summoning circle.
She had her fiery red hair braided into four plaits, and her bright face was adorned with somewhat flamboyant makeup. However, compared to the spiked club she carried on her shoulder, all of this seemed rather understated.
"Oh, so you're the Onmyoji that girl always talks about?"
"He doesn't seem strong enough."
"However, allow me to experience it firsthand with my fist."
As soon as Jue stepped out of the summoning circle and saw the human youth in his field of vision, he grinned, his eyes full of provocation.
She had long wanted to see just how capable the human being that little girl kept talking about really was.
Without any intention of seeking acceptance or rejection, the moment the provocation was made, this crazy girl swung her spiked club at him, even though she had just said she would use her fists.
"Sleep."
"stop!"
A gasp rang out behind him; it was the white wolf that appeared in this world the next step.
However, it is clear that such a half-hearted attempt to stop her is ineffective against Jue, a crazy girl driven by a momentary urge to fight.
"Show me your power as an Onmyoji!"
"Yan Ling·Shou."
Compared to Jue's recklessness, Huang went a step further, which was to stabilize the hidden sea ninja once again.
Having an overly obedient shikigami guarding him is a bit of a hassle, he thought.
