I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

I'm just an ordinary person passing by. (Author: Purple Emperor)

Introduction:

On the streets of Chiba City, DIO and DIO are fighting each other.

On the outskirts of Kyoto, the Demon King Shuten-dōji burned the entire sky.

On a high tower in Tokyo, Susanoo and Rokuwamon engage in a battle.

In space beyond Earth, the adult, with his back to the astronauts, said: "Humans, before you soar through the universe, we will be your planet's eternal support. We look forward to the day we meet!"

......

Yukino Yukinoshita: "I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person either. I'm just doing what I feel I should do. Star Platinum"

Nino Nakano: "My little ones, let's go! The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is about to begin!"

Eriri Sawamura: "I know I'm weak and I like to run away, but now is not the time for me to run away! Arm yourself, evolve!"

......

Looking at the increasingly bizarre world, Bai Mu thought carefully for a moment, and finally silently put away his magic wand.

I know nothing about it, and none of this concerns me.

Chapter 1: Nakano Nino is possessed by a ghost

"Nino, dinner is ready, it's time to come out and eat."

A gentle, caring voice came in with the knock on the door. It was soft and gentle, and just hearing the voice made one think of a kind and gentle mother, even though there was a hint of helplessness in her voice when facing a naughty child.

However, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but this gentle voice always gives people an indescribable strangeness, a kind of stiffness that's not a smile.

Meanwhile, the room inside was pitch black. The cold, sharp moonlight shone through the window, but for some reason, it did not penetrate the room.

It was as if this room was completely isolated from the outside world.

Nino Nakano huddled under the covers, her slender hands gripping the blankets tightly, her body trembling. Fear gripped her delicate, haggard face, and her once beautiful blue eyes were now bloodshot.

She dared not move, dared not make a sound, and dared not emit even a ray of light.

In this room that had become cold and eerie, she felt that only by becoming one with the darkness could she find a tiny bit of comfort and peace of mind.

But......

"boom!!!"

The sound of something heavy pounding on the door came from the side, the room trembled, the door groaned, and even Nino's heart trembled.

The sudden sound filled Nino, who was trying to calm herself, with endless fear.

Is that monster outside... about to come in?!?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

The knocking grew louder with each knock, as if the lack of response had extinguished the initial gentle concern, like tearing off a mask of pretense. A chilling, panting sound accompanied the knocking, like a twisted, filthy monster lurking menacingly outside.

Violence and gasps for breath, the eerily dark atmosphere allows fear to spread silently.

Nino Nakano could clearly feel it.

She was surrounded by darkness; fear, evil, death... a chilling aura was slowly devouring her body.

She was scared and trembling, so terrified that her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

Don't come in, don't come in, don't come in...

Whether it was hearing her inner cry or not, the knocking and panting gradually subsided, and the sound of footsteps receding into the distance came from outside...

That monster...left?

The fear that had nearly driven her mad subsided slightly, and Nakano Nino couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Was the strangeness of tonight over?

She couldn't help but want to cry, to let out a good cry. But when she thought of tomorrow and the day after, and the eerie feeling that had been haunting her, her heart was filled with helplessness and despair. Tears streamed from her sapphire-like eyes, and she forced back the sobs in her throat.

What should she do...?

What Nino Nakano didn't know was that while she was too terrified to make a sound, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure had appeared at her bedside.

And on her face was a strange smile.

"Nino, disobedient children will be eaten."

------

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, built in the 8th century and still standing today, is one of the oldest shrines in Japan.

This shrine enshrines many deities, including Inari, the daughter of the war god Susanoo. It is the most visited and most popular shrine in Kyoto.

Nino Nakano brought her four sisters here to worship the daughter of the God of War, hoping that the god would bless them.

She placed several heads of Fukuzawa Yukichi in the offering box, then she and her sisters respectfully bowed to the statue and prayed silently in their hearts.

'Should this work?'

Nino Nakano opened her eyes, looked up at the statue with some weariness, then clenched her hands and suddenly turned around as if she had made some important decision.

The next moment, her slightly rosy complexion turned visibly pale again.

It's noon now, and the sun should be shining brightly. Although the climate in Kyoto is quite nice, and it's not summer yet, it's still a subtropical climate, so the sun is still very bright.

Everyone else was either carrying an umbrella or wearing a hat, so the weather was clearly excellent today.

However, Nino couldn't see this scene.

The world she saw was still shrouded in dark clouds, a completely oppressive and gloomy place where the sun and light were nowhere to be seen...

It's so heavy it's suffocating!

Why the world in Nino's eyes has become like this is something she herself doesn't know. She woke up not long ago and the world has become like this.

At first, she simply thought it was a cloudy day and would get better in a day or two. But when she heard Yotsuba say that the sun was shining brightly, she suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

The weather remained the same, the sun was still the same sun, and the world was still the same world; only she had become slightly different from before.

After realizing that she seemed to have encountered something, she vaguely heard some sounds at night.

That was the sound from my dream.

At first, she could only vaguely hear the sounds, but as time went by, the sounds she heard in her dreams every night became louder and closer, and she seemed to realize that she was being targeted by some evil thing!

She didn't believe in these supernatural things at first, thinking they were all lies. But when it actually happened to her, she had to believe that those evil things really existed!

And he was getting closer and closer to her!

Until yesterday, that filthy thing successfully broke into her room!

She's going to die...she feels like she's about to die!

Maybe it's this second, or maybe it's the next second; it might be this day, or maybe it's the next day.

Death still clung to her; she could neither escape nor avoid it.

But she didn't want to die.

After waking up, she took her four sisters to a shrine to pray. She had been to many shrines, but none of them could save her. The last shrine she could think of was Fushimi Inari Shrine.

If even the Inari Goddess can't deal with that evil thing, then she... is truly beyond saving.

And now...

Even inside the Fushimi Inari Shrine, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and even though she had just paid homage to the Inari deity, the world before her eyes remained unchanged.

Is there no hope?

That moment of despair made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave; despite the sweltering heat, she couldn't stop feeling cold all over...

Chapter Two: Is This All the Cards I Have?

The night in Kyoto was anything but peaceful.

Although it was nearly midnight and the date was about to change, the windows of the building, now dark, still reflected the streetlights, looking like a shattered magic mirror.

The bustling street in front of the station is a dazzling sea of ​​neon lights.

Family restaurants, karaoke bars, and convenience stores that operate late at night.

The streets are still full of young people.

Under the bright moonlight in the southwestern sky, Nino struggled to climb alone to the top of an ancient, secluded mountain outside Kyoto.

This is a place far from the hustle and bustle of the city, where the neon lights cannot reach. She lowers her head and looks down at the city from here, as if she were looking down at a sea of ​​stars that have fallen.

She had a premonition that she was going to die... She had this feeling ever since she heard those chilling words last night.

If she goes back tonight, she will definitely die!

Of course, it's not that coming here guarantees she won't die; the main reason is that she doesn't want to implicate her sisters.

After realizing she was being haunted by a ghost, she tried every possible way to exorcise it. However, to avoid worrying her sisters, she could only secretly seek out a master on her own. Since ghosts really exist in this world, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to find a master who knows how to exorcise them.

However, although they searched for many masters, they found none who could actually fight.

Every time they pretended to exorcise evil spirits and said everything was fine, the same thing would still happen that night; it was completely useless.

Realizing that these charlatans were useless, Nino had no choice but to set her sights on the shrine.

If those so-called masters are useless, then surely the shrine can't be useless too.

If you can't find a master to exorcise evil spirits, buying some amulets should be enough, right?

Then......

It still didn't work.

Whether a shrine has been built for decades or for thousands of years, those amulets are completely useless.

Ever since being haunted by a ghost, Nino's wallet has shrunk rapidly. Every time she prays, it's to no avail; it's just a waste of money.

Logically, one would realize this kind of thing doesn't work after being fooled once or twice, but Nino is, after all, a child. Let alone a child, even a normal adult would be terrified if they encountered someone whispering in your ear at night that 'disobedient children will be eaten.'

Nino has managed to remain so calm for so long without letting her sisters notice anything amiss, which is quite remarkable.
