Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

Because none of them had attacked humans, they were not destroyed by the land god and thus remained in Chiba, living cautiously while being protected by the land god.

After all, the powerful monsters outside were kept out of the city, while most of the monsters inside were not very aggressive and posed little threat.

Their only concerns are some powerful, undiscovered ghosts and the Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) active in Chiba.

Fortunately, there weren't many Onmyoji in Chiba.

On the contrary, there are quite a few powerful creatures in Chiba.

For example, there are dragons, angels, demons, and so on, but they don't even know it.

"Dong-kun, do you think I'm an idiot?" Raphiel pouted and said a little unhappily. You can look down on my breasts, but you absolutely cannot look down on my taste in enjoying pleasure!

"Like my lost little silly girl," Tsuchimikado Touyu said with a smile, playfully pinching Raphiel's nose.

"Hehe." Raphiel said happily, "I didn't expect Dongjun to be so dense. He's usually such a straight man, but he actually said something like that."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu gave Raphiel a helpless look. What do you mean I would say such things? It's perfectly normal for me to say them, it's just that I don't usually have the chance to say them.

"Hehe, alright, I'll tell you then." Raphiel said with a smile, "Actually, I discovered that these suddenly appearing monsters all escaped from the mountains near Chiba, and I also found several of them who are from the same faction as those two from last time."

I heard them talking about something about the Ghost Festival (Zhongyuan Festival) and the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, but I didn't really understand. However, it seems they came to Chiba to cause trouble.

"Those two from last time?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked, frowning. "The ones who went to the Judgment Tower? But how do you know they're from the same faction?"

"Oh right, as for how I knew? I guessed, of course."

"..."

"Okay, okay, just kidding. Actually, I noticed that those people were just like the two from last time; they all had the same pattern on their clothes, which looked like the organization's logo."

"You're quite observant; I didn't even notice these things," Tsuchimikado Fuyu remarked.

"But what is the Ghost Festival? Does Japan have this festival?" Raphiel asked curiously.

"The Ghost Festival is a traditional Chinese festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, which falls on the 15th of the seventh lunar month. In Buddhism, it is also called the Ullambana Festival."

On this day, the yin energy is at its heaviest, especially at midnight, when the gates of hell are wide open.

In Japanese legend, if you light a hundred candles on the night of Obon, and several people sit together and take turns telling ghost stories, blowing out one candle after each story, you will see a procession of a hundred demons when the hundredth candle is blown out.

Of course, in Onmyoji, some Onmyoji will also take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, or use Yin energy to cultivate their own shikigami.

“But wasn’t the Obon festival over a long time ago?” Raphiel asked doubtfully. “Besides, there’s no such thing as a gate to hell in hell.”

“The Obon festival celebrated in Japan today is based on the Gregorian calendar, while in the past, both the Obon festival in Japan and the Ghost Festival in China used the lunar calendar. According to the lunar calendar, the Ghost Festival is still a few days away.”

“It’s a bit complicated, but it should be very interesting,” Raphiel said, her eyes gleaming.

The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons—it would be so interesting to have Satania or Vinette join them on the night parade!

"You're trying to trick Satania again." Tsuchimikado Fuyu knew what Raphiel was up to when he saw her like this, and shook his head with a smile.

Satania is incredibly unlucky to have met an angel like you.

Ding Ding Ding!

ding ding ding~

Just then, Tsuchimikado Fuyu's phone rang. When he answered, he heard Kaguya Shinomiya's anxious voice, "Fuyu-kun, something bad has happened! The student council president and Fujiwara-san have gone missing."

Chapter 639 The Mysterious Alley

In a coffee shop, Kaguya Shinomiya anxiously kept looking at her phone, glancing outside every now and then, her eyes revealing panic and helplessness.

"Welcome." Whenever the waiter's voice sounded at the door, Kaguya Shinomiya would look up with hope, but each time she would look away in disappointment.

ding ding ding~

Suddenly, the phone rang. Kaguya Shinomiya answered it with delight and quickly asked, "How is it? Have you found Fujiwara-san and the others?"

"I'm sorry, miss, it's our incompetence. We were searching through the surveillance footage when they suddenly disappeared halfway through our investigation. We're currently searching the area where they disappeared, but we haven't found anything yet."

Kaguya Shinomiya could tell from the other person's apologetic words that although the other person tried to appear calm, their tone still revealed shock and a hint of panic.

After all, the sudden disappearance of three living people would shock anyone.

Moreover, if Kaguya Shinomiya hadn't been late because of something, she might have disappeared with them as well, and in that case, the head of the family would probably have killed them.

"Alright, that's enough for now. You guys keep looking. I've also got some professionals on my end. Don't call again if you don't hear anything." Kaguya Shinomiya didn't blame them, but said in a cold tone.

Although she knew they had tried their best, her anxiety and unease made it impossible for her to be kind to them.

Especially when she answered the phone full of hope, only to be told that they couldn't find it, she was already considered very well-mannered not to get angry.

……

As the sun sets and night falls, so too does the night.

In a dimly lit street, a man and two women walked forward with expressions of panic.

The street was narrow, with only a few scattered streetlights along the roadside, which flickered incessantly as if they were malfunctioning.

They didn't know how long they had been walking, or when the end would be.

But they had no choice, because the path only had one direction; they could only go forward or turn back.

But whether they went forward or backward, the outcome was the same: they couldn't get out. In fact, because they switched between going forward and backward several times, they didn't even know whether they were moving forward or backward anymore.

However, they dared not stop, because the deserted environment made them feel as if something bad would happen if they stopped.

They could only encourage each other, keep moving forward, and believe in themselves that they would definitely get through it.

But reality is always cruel. More than an hour passed, and the street was still the same street, with the streetlights flashing incessantly.

Every now and then, they would come across a shop with floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The shop was empty, dark, and somewhat dilapidated. There were no goods inside, only a few things that looked like stone tablets or stone gates.

Each time they passed by this store, their faces grew even more terrified.

"This is the eighth time we've run into this." Seeing the same shop again, Fujiwara Chika cried out in fear, "Fuyu-kun, Shinomiya-kun, help!"

"Chika-nee, stop talking." Shirogane Kei clung to Fujiwara Chika's arm, trembling, and said in a tearful voice, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, we wouldn't have come here, and we wouldn't have walked into this alley."

"It's alright. Once Shinomiya arrives and finds we're not here, and she can't get through on the phone, she'll definitely come looking for us. Trust her," Shirogane Miyuki comforted her.

“That’s right. Even if Shinomiya can’t find us, she’ll ask Fuyu for help. Everything will be alright.” Fujiwara Chika also held Shirogane Kei’s hand and comforted him.

"So, the most important thing for us now is to protect ourselves and hold on until they arrive."

Although Shirogane Miyuki didn't know why Fujiwara Chika admired Tsuchimikado Fuyu so much, he couldn't question Fujiwara Chika in the current situation, lest Shirogane Kei feel even more guilty, so he quickly added.

"And if anyone's to blame, it's me. If I hadn't been so curious about this shop, we wouldn't have walked into this alley," Fujiwara Chika said suddenly, sounding a little disappointed.

"Alright, alright, no one's to blame. We all agreed to have a meal here, and we went into this alley because we were all curious. None of us did anything wrong, after all, we didn't know this would happen."

Having finally comforted Shirogane Kei, Shirogane Miyuki then saw Fujiwara Chika starting to blame herself, and quickly offered some words of comfort.

If morale is lost at a time like this, then there is really no hope. We absolutely cannot let them fall into self-blame.

……

Let's go back three hours.

At this moment, Shirogane Kei and Shirogane Miyuki are at school, preparing for tomorrow's school festival with the students.

Like Sobu High School, Shuchiin Academy's junior high school students participate in activities together with the senior high school students within the senior high school section.

It just so happens that Shirogane Kei is Shirogane Miyuki's younger sister and a member of the junior high school student council, so the junior high school student council president sent her there to work with the senior high school student council to coordinate the arrangements.

Among the high school student council members, Chika Fujiwara serves as Masafumi Akagi's assistant on the executive committee, while Yu Ishigami rehearses in the cheerleading squad.

As for Kaguya Shinomiya, she was communicating with the executive committee about two things: the arrangements for the Shuchiin Academy school festival and the sponsorship from the Shinomiya family. That's why she wasn't with Miyuki Shirogane and the others.

After a busy day, on a whim, Baek Eung-kyu arranged to have dinner together that evening, at a place not far from where they had disappeared.

After Shirogane Miyuki and the other two arrived first, Fujiwara Chika suddenly noticed a shop in the alley that looked a bit strange. Out of curiosity, Fujiwara Chika suggested that since they were bored waiting here anyway, they might as well go and take a look.

Driven by curiosity, the three of them walked into the alley, but instead of entering the shop, they were trapped inside, which was truly baffling.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Yu Ishigami, who arrived later, found that the three who had arrived earlier were not there, so they called them, but unfortunately none of the calls went through.

In a moment of desperation, Kaguya Shinomiya sent people to search for them. To avoid Shirogane Miyuki and the others coming here and not being able to find them, Ishigami Yu told Kaguya Shinomiya to wait there while he went with Kaguya Shinomiya's bodyguards to search.

Call him again if you hear anything from Kaguya Shinomiya.

Unfortunately, an hour passed without any news. In desperation, Kaguya Shinomiya remembered Fuyuki Tsuchimikado. She thought that regardless of whether Miyuki Shirogane and the others had encountered anything mysterious, having another person to help would definitely be useful.

If something illogical happened, Tsuchimikado Fuyuki would have arrived earlier and been able to find Shirogane Miyuki and the others sooner.

Chapter 640 Locks and Barriers

"welcome!"

Kaguya Shinomiya had heard the waiter's voice countless times, but each time she would look up with hope until Fuyu Tsuchimikado finally arrived!

"Shinomiya-kun, how did it go? Did you find Chika and the others?" As soon as they entered the coffee shop, Tsuchimikado Fuyu saw Shinomiya Kaguya looking up from not far away and quickly led Raphiel over to ask.

"No, we checked the surveillance footage and found that they suddenly disappeared at the entrance of an alley, but when we went into that alley, we didn't find anything," Kaguya Shinomiya said dejectedly.

"Don't worry, they'll go check it out first," Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Raphiel exchanged a reassuring glance.

"Hmm!" At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya was like a drowning person trying to grab onto Tsuchimikado Fuyuki's lifeline, and she quickly got up and said.

She didn't know if Tsuchimikado Fuyuki could find Shirogane Miyuki, but what was happening now was beyond her control, and the only person she knew with extraordinary abilities was Tsuchimikado Fuyuki.

So she dared not think about what would happen if Tsuchimikado Fuyu couldn't do anything!

She simply couldn't bear the world without the president. Without the president, she would have to go back to her colorless life.

The three of them hurried to the alley where Shirogane and the others had disappeared. The alley entrance was not far from the coffee shop, just one street away.

"So, why did you choose to have a meal here?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked speechlessly after listening to Shinomiya Kaguya's explanation on the way, looking around at the deserted alley.

I might believe you if you said you came here to explore, but as for having a meal together, there aren't any shops here, are there?

"Oh dear, you're mistaken, Dong-kun. There's a really nice restaurant nearby," Raphiel said with a smile.

"How did you know?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked curiously.

"I came here with Satania last time, and the food at that restaurant was pretty good! But it felt like they'd drugged me."

Just thinking about Satania's screams makes me want to bring Vinnie and the others along next time. Their reactions will be so funny! Raphiel covered her face and said happily.

"..." Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at Raphiel speechlessly, "Suddenly I feel that Satania is really pitiful, being tricked by you in one different way."

"Oh dear, how can you say that? It's clearly the chef's fault! Who told him to put drugs in the food? It made Satania make such a funny and unforgettable sound," Raphiel said happily.

"And you? No reaction?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked, glancing sideways.
