"It was Lord Kagaya who sent someone to pick me up."

"I knew it! It must be that heartless bastard!" Yayoi complained indignantly, while skillfully twisting her hips and rolling away from Kuwashima Jigoro's "weapon".

"Are you really going to kill me, old man!"

"Don't worry, evil deeds live on for a thousand years, you won't die." Kuwajima Jigoro said irritably.

"Old man, what you're saying is really awful."

Chapter 63 A Pig Sister Fell From the Sky

Despite having no tasks assigned to her, Yayoi is anything but idle.

Wandering through the mountains and forests night after night, searching for ghosts, hacking them into pieces, binding them up, and taking them to Tengxi Mountain.

After so much time has passed, Yayoi can finally understand the resentment that Makijuro felt back then.

Honestly, if it were me, I'd want to go back to that time and kill myself for being so impulsive.

Is catching ghosts an easy thing to do? Why would you come to Fujikashi Mountain to kill ghosts for no reason, you bastard!

"Go! Get inside yourself."

Yayoi untied the ropes binding the demon and kicked it in the buttocks, making it stagger.

After the demon regained its footing, it bared its teeth at Yayoi, intending to attack her again.

"Zheng—"

With a cold expression, Yayoi drew her Nichirin Blade right in front of the demon.

Slightly regaining his senses from the "truth" in the woman's hand, the ghost withdrew his exposed, cool fangs and turned to head up the mountain, quite obediently.

If I can't beat her, can't I at least bully someone weaker?

Yayoi sheathed her Nichirin Blade and watched the unlucky fellow ascend Fujikasane Mountain and join the ranks of the soldiers.

I wonder if this idiot will survive next month's selection.

Turning her back, Yayoi let out a long yawn and started walking down the mountain.

After working overtime for almost two months, we finally managed to add more than a dozen ghosts to this godforsaken place, Tengxi Mountain.

Adding the ones from before... we should be able to gather about thirty before the selection, right?

Yayoi could walk the entire way home from Fujikasayama with her eyes closed.

There's nothing special about it except that you're familiar with your feet.

I wonder if Mom is bored at home. She didn't really like the little trinkets I brought her the last few times.

Sigh... Can't there be something that can talk, dance, stay by Mom's side, and make Mom happy, just jumping right in front of me?

"Hey! You woman! Let's have a match!"

Having been a bandit for so long, Yayoi's words automatically translated into "this road...this tree..."

Damn it! You're trying to rob me right under my nose!

Yayoi opened her eyes in frustration, expecting to see a burly man with a scarred face, eight feet tall, broad shoulders, and a face full of scars.

did not expect……

A small pig-headed man, barely reaching his chest, stood with his hands on his hips, his 1.3-meter height giving him the air of a 3.1-meter man.

Yayoi looked around but couldn't find a burly man who should be making such a rough voice.

"What are you looking at! I, the Great King, am right in front of you!"

Feeling ignored, Inosuke became somewhat annoyed and swung his fist at Yayoi.

Having just defeated the wild boars on this mountain, Inosuke felt incredibly strong and couldn't wait to find a human to test his skills against, thus solidifying his status as the mountain king.

After waiting for two or three days, only this thin-armed and thin-legged woman came to the mountain.

Although defeating such a woman is not very fulfilling, people should at least know that he is the king of the mountain.

At worst, I'll beat her up and then give her an acorn!

Inosuke thought to himself, then raised his hands on his hips and raised his voice a little louder: "What? Are you so scared of me that you dare not speak?"

"If you can respectfully kowtow to this king and proclaim the mighty and domineering Inosuke-sama, I might consider letting you go."

Standing opposite Inosuke, Yayoi did not show the fear, terror, or even the urge to cry that Inosuke had imagined.

Instead, he stroked his chin with one hand, looking up and down at the little pig head in front of him with great interest.

I knew it! There are ghosts in this world, so it's definitely possible for animals to become spirits or something.

This little pig's head is probably a wild boar from the mountains that has come to life.

It can talk... and it won't fight with me for my mom's attention. It can even keep my mom entertained.

I just don't know...

Can you dance?

Yayoi's sudden question left Inosuke stunned on the spot.

Dancing? What is that? Is it some kind of amazing move?

Does that mean that all the capable people these days need to know this kind of thing?

No, I can't let her find out I can't do it!

"I'm the king of the mountain! There's nothing I can't do!" Inosuke shouted, trying to hide his unease.

Wow~ Could it be that God really opened his eyes, heard my prayers, and sent me this little gadget?

Yayoi looked at Inosuke with increasing satisfaction. "I guess you want to come home with me, don't you?"

"Huh?" Inosuke stood there, stunned. "Are you out of your mind?"

Yayoi wasn't annoyed. After all, this little guy was a wild boar spirit, so it was normal for him to be a bit harsh.

"Didn't you say you wanted to have a match with me? Come on, if you lose, you have to come home with me."

Inosuke was so angry that smoke was billowing from his head.

What on earth is this woman saying?!

How could I possibly lose to someone as weak as her?!

"Damn it! This king cannot possibly lose!"

"You can't run away crying later! Remember to kowtow to this king!!"

“Okay, no problem. As long as you beat me, I’ll kowtow to you ten times, no, a hundred times.” Yayoi said this with a smile that looked like she was coaxing a fool. Inosuke noticed this and felt even more annoyed.

"Watch me charge forward like a pig!!"

Inosuke landed on his hands and feet and charged towards Yayoi like a small cannonball.

Worried that kicking him directly in the head would turn this talking pig-headed guy into an idiot, Yayoi withdrew her leg, which had taken a half step back, bent down, and easily placed her hands on Inosuke's shoulders.

Inosuke couldn't move any further. He nudged his head, but still couldn't feel anything above him.

Huh? What's going on?

Inosuke looked up and saw Yayoi's smiling eyes through the eyes in the hood.

"Wow~ You're so fast, I almost couldn't hold you down."

As Yayoi spoke, she turned the little pig head in her hand around, "Come on, little pig head, get ready—launch!"

With a kick to Inosuke's butt, Inosuke was sent flying like he had a jet propulsion device installed, crashing straight into a tree with a "Duang".

Upon landing on the ground, Inosuke was completely bewildered by life.

How can this woman be so strong?

Inosuke shook his head, then staggered to his feet, leaning against a tree.

"Hey~ you little pig, are you alright?" Yayoi cupped her hands in front of her mouth and asked Inosuke in a cheeky manner.

With his back to Yayoi, Inosuke lifted his hood and wiped the blood from his nose, fuming with rage.

How dare she! How dare she! This woman is still provoking me!

Yayoi didn't really mean that; she originally intended to dampen the little pig's spirit and prevent him from offending his mother after being brought back.

I never expected that this guy, who talks so big about how awesome he is, is actually just a useless show-off.

Don't lose much of your spirit, or you'll be beaten to death by this little pighead.

"Why don't you just admit defeat?" Yayoi sincerely suggested, for Inosuke's safety.

Inosuke's eyes reddened with anger; it was difficult for him to maintain what little rationality he had left after being so disrespected.

"I don't want to! I can't give up!"

"I was careless just now! Let's try again!"

Chapter 64 Losing to me doesn't mean you need to feel inferior.

Shoulder throw, sweeping leg kick, lifting up with one hand and slamming to the ground.

Inosuke was planted headfirst in the ground by Yayoi, reminiscing about his short first half of life.

Fortunately, Inosuke is thick-skinned and tough, and he was able to stay conscious even after being beaten up by Yayoi from head to toe.

Why... shouldn't I be the mountain king?

Am I not very capable?

How come I can't fight back at all?

Have humans outside the mountains evolved into this state by now?

Seeing that the little pig's head was lying face down and unresponsive, and no longer attacking again with a "roar" like it had in the previous dozens of rounds, Yayoi felt that the time was about right.

He pulled out the rope he had used to tie up the demon from his pocket and bound Inosuke tightly.

Even after being tied up tightly, Inosuke still didn't react. If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, Yayoi would have thought she had beaten Inosuke to death.
