Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

Chapter 110 Ohta Kosuke

Seeing that the other party had arrived at the well, Kikuri ended the spell, since they only intended to bring the person over, not push them into the well.

The wealthy businessman suddenly came to his senses. Seeing the familiar courtyard and well, he was shocked to realize that he wasn't dreaming; it was actually real.

The wealthy businessman's name is Kosuke Ota. He is a well-known tycoon in Chiba, but he developed his business abroad and only returned to Japan a year ago to develop real estate.

He bought this courtyard house last year when he came back. He didn't buy it because the other party boasted that it was old, stylish, or tasteful; he bought it simply because the house was big.

He doesn't like villas; he thinks they're too small. This courtyard is just right. Although it's in the suburbs and a bit expensive, it's not a problem for him.

After buying the house, he lived quite comfortably... until two days ago.

Recently, the servants have been spreading rumors about ghosts calling at night, but he naturally doesn't believe it. He has never done anything wrong, so why would he be afraid of ghosts knocking on his door?

Although I am rich, it is all earned through legitimate business. I have never done anything bad, so I am not afraid of any ghosts seeking revenge.

So he punished the servants who initially spread the news, not by beating or scolding them, but by deducting a month's salary. He was already considered a very kind boss.

The rumors gradually subsided until that morning when he heard a report that a servant had gone missing.

He didn't believe it at first. He knew this maid well; she was diligent and hardworking, but she was quiet and timid. Otherwise, he would have made her the housekeeper long ago.

Even if this person wasn't promoted, their monthly salary was quite substantial, so it's impossible that they ran away.

Besides, why is he running away? I'm not a bad person. His salary is higher than that of ordinary employees. Why would he give up a high-paying job to do something low-paying? Isn't that crazy?

Regardless of whether this person is mentally ill or not, if someone goes missing, as the boss, I naturally have to go look for them and then ask them face-to-face if they are mentally ill!

He first had the servants inquire around the neighborhood and search the entire house, but they couldn't find him. Since the man was hired from nearby, he even visited the man's home, but the family said he hadn't returned.

Kosuke Ota was completely dumbfounded. He didn't go home? It looked more like he was fleeing from justice.

But you didn't steal anything, and you didn't hurt anyone, so why are you running away?

You're insane!

After searching around without success, Kosuke Ota had no choice but to call the police with the man's family. Although he hadn't done anything wrong, as a businessman, he instinctively didn't want to deal with the police, as if he had done something wrong.

But we can't just ignore it and call the police. A living person has gone missing; we can't just stand by and do nothing, or people will be cursing us behind our backs!

Finally, with the help of the police, the body of this person was found...

After an investigation, the police initially determined it to be a suicide, but there was no motive, so a final conclusion could not be drawn yet.

The police left for the time being, but told Kosuke Ota not to wander around. There would be further investigation after the body was taken back for testing.

Kosuke Ota readily agreed; after all, it wasn't his doing, so what was he afraid of?

Now that he's run away, he'll have to take the blame himself. Even though he didn't harm anyone, he shouldn't be the one to take the blame!

After that, rumors of evil spirits claiming lives resurfaced in the house, and this time... Ota Kosuke believed them.

He dared not go too far, fearing that the police would misunderstand him as fleeing to avoid punishment. So, after discussing it with the police, he bought a house not far away and waited for the police to investigate again.

After moving, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't believe in ghosts, the whole thing was really strange.

It's just another house to buy anyway, it'll give me peace of mind. I can move back once this is over.

But to his utter surprise, he dreamt that he had returned to the well that night. But it was just a dream, and he was fine once he woke up.

But then, he slowly realized something was wrong, because the dream was so real that it frightened him. Suddenly, he woke up with a start.

"How did I get here?" Kosuke Ota stared in horror at the well in front of him. Was this not a dream?

So, does that mean it really is the work of ghosts and monsters?

Kosuke Ota was immediately frightened. It's normal for people to be afraid of the unknown, especially since what happened tonight was so bizarre.

He didn't want to know why he was here, nor did he want to know why the other person was looking for him. All he wanted to do was run away and escape this place.

He had no destination; he just wanted to run. He felt that as long as he reached a crowded place, he would be safe.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did. He took off running and headed towards the front gate.

But the earthbound spirit had already discovered Kosuke Ota's existence. How could she possibly give up such a delicious treat that was delivered right to her doorstep?

A plume of black smoke billowed from the wellhead and rushed toward Kosuke Ota.

Kosuke Ota had only run a dozen steps when he was caught and brought back.

Just as Ota Kosuke was about to be dragged into the well, at Kikuri's urging, Tsuchimikado Fuyu instantly used the Word of Power: Bind on Ota Kosuke.

That's right, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't use it on the Earthbound Spirit, but instead used it on Ota Kosuke.

Since the physical form of the earthbound spirit has not appeared, Tsuchimikado Fuyu cannot find anyone and therefore cannot bind it. However, capturing Ota Kosuke is the same, as long as he is not pulled into the well.

The spiritual chains bound Kosuke Ota. Because of Kaguya's possession, the spiritual chains were much thicker than when he cast them alone. The spiritual chains and the black smoke were evenly matched.

The white wolf, hiding on the roof, had already aimed at the cave entrance and shot an arrow, instantly cutting off the black smoke.

Kosuke Ota was pulled back to the ground. The three-tailed fox and Koi had also run to Kosuke Ota's vicinity. Tsuchimikado Fuyu shouted, "Demon, don't hurt people!"

Yes, lines are necessary, because you need to let Kosuke Ota know that they are not bad people, but are here to help exorcise the demon and help you.

As expected, when Kosuke Ota heard Fuyu Tsuchimikado's voice, his initial fear of having an accomplice turned into excitement.

Kosuke Ota quickly hid behind Xiaoyi and the others. Tsuchimikado Fuyu, Yuki-onna, and Jumpy Brother also appeared. White Wolf was still standing on the roof, with Yingcao beside her.

"Who are you?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu frowned as he looked at Ota Kosuke and asked, pretending not to recognize him.

"M-Sir, my name is Ota Kosuke, and I am the owner of this house," Ota Kosuke hurriedly explained.

Chapter 111 A Clichéd Story

Tsuchimikado Fuyu nodded. "Be careful, let's deal with this demon first."

"Okay, okay, thank you for your help." Kosuke Ota nodded quickly.

Don't be fooled by his wealth; this is a matter of life and death, and he has no choice but to humble himself.

Especially when he saw real ghosts and monsters, his entire worldview, values, and beliefs were shattered.

Good heavens, I haven't done anything wrong, so why are ghosts knocking on my door?

I was just buying a house, it wasn't like I was being forced to buy or sell. I didn't even negotiate the price, so why did I run into this mess?

Just as the two were talking, thick black smoke rose from the well, and a woman in black appeared in front of them.

To be honest, apart from the dense black aura around it and flying in the sky, it was no different from an ordinary person. It didn't have the pale face, long and hard nails, or fangs that are described in movies.

Even Kosuke Ota was dumbfounded. This was the demon who wanted to kill him? I don't even know her. Why would she want to kill me?

But I must say, she's actually quite good-looking. Ugh, what am I thinking? She's killing me! What good is being good-looking? My wife isn't unattractive.

Just as Ota Kosuke was lost in thought, he saw the other person's face turn cold and his tone become icy as he said, "Men, kill."

Okay, fine, if you want revenge, then go ahead and take revenge, but don't condemn people outright. I'm a man too.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu muttered a complaint, then threw a Word of Power: Bind over. Enough talk, let's get to work and finish this quickly.

The other party was also startled by the Word of Binding and immediately twisted their body and struggled.

The Snow Woman also used her Blizzard skill, and hailstones pelted the female ghost, quickly freezing her.

Finally, Xiao Yi kicked the ice away, shattering it. The female ghost crashed heavily to the ground, and most of the black energy on her body dissipated instantly.

Xiao Yi leaned forward, stepped on the female ghost, and held the kitchen knife to the ghost's neck.

Yes, this female ghost is indeed quite weak.

Just as Xiaoyi was about to kill the female ghost, she heard Kikuri shout, "Don't rush to do it!"

Originally, Kosuke Ota was quite happy to see the female ghost so easily dealt with, but upon hearing Kikuri's words, he immediately looked at Kikuri anxiously.

You're not in a hurry, but I am! Hurry up and kill her! What are you waiting for?

However, he dared not ask. Who knew what these people's tempers were like? What if he angered them and they stabbed him? He would die unjustly.

Xiaoyi also looked at Kikuri curiously, wondering what this idiot was up to now.

Kikuri slowly walked up to the female ghost. "I am the local land god. Do you have any wishes?"

As you probably know, once your wish is fulfilled, I can help you ascend to heaven. But if you are killed, you will truly never be able to reincarnate.

The female ghost glared fiercely at Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Ota Kosuke, then turned her head away and said menacingly, "Men all deserve to die."

"Why don't we just kill him?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a dark face. "You're really asking for it, aren't you?"

What did that man do to you that you want to kill him? Your life is in our hands now, what are you acting so arrogantly for?

Ota Kosuke nodded in agreement. "This female ghost is crazy. I don't even know her, yet she wants to kill me. It's inexplicable."

Now that the female ghost had been easily dealt with, and especially after hearing that there was a local earth god involved, he was no longer afraid and instead curiously observed the female ghost.

Although Kikuri is weak, these ordinary people can't tell anyway, so it's enough for her to show off. Who knows, she might even earn some donations this time.

Upon hearing Tsuchimikado Fuyu's words, the female ghost glared fiercely at him. Xiaoyi patted the ghost's face with a kitchen knife, saying, "Watch your eyes, or you'll scare my little Fuyu."

The female ghost didn't speak, but just silently watched Kikuri.

The two stared at each other for a long time. Even as Tsuchimikado Fuyu got bored and started chatting with the three-tailed fox, they were still staring at each other.

"Men are all liars," the female ghost suddenly said.

"Tell me, what happened? You don't seem to be very resentful, so you probably haven't been doing evil for long. You probably haven't killed many people before!" Kikuri said.

The female ghost stared at Kikuri for a long time before slowly explaining the reason.

The female ghost's name is Yuuki Mitamura, and her husband is Ryota Mitamura.

The house used to belong to someone else, but back then it wasn't this big; it was just an ordinary little courtyard.

However, the two were very loving, but because her husband needed to work away from home all year round, they rarely saw each other. At that time, there were no telephones, and the two only communicated by letter every month.

Later, the two discussed having a child, and the man said he would be back soon.

Yuki Mitamura was naturally very happy. When her husband was about to come home, she personally cleaned the house inside and out. Then, while fetching water, she accidentally fell into the water.

Because her wish remained unfulfilled, she became a ghost, but she was trapped by this well and turned into a bound spirit that could only move within the well's area.

She never saw her husband again, so she assumed he had never contacted her, and thus she harbored resentment and hatred towards all men.

However, because her power was too weak, she never had the opportunity to take revenge on the man until recently, when her power was able to affect the surrounding area.

Okay, the story is cliché and melodramatic, but it's surprisingly real.
