My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

"You...what do you want to do?"

"Yes." The black goat maid licked her lips. "Doesn't Master like to shave me? Today, I'll help Master give birth to a little lamb."

……

In a samurai's room, the samurai, who should have been taking a peaceful afternoon nap, was horrified to find himself trapped by his page, with four large, rarely seen men gathered around him.

"Don't you usually like to stab me?" The young man, shrouded in black aura, picked up a vise, easily clamped down on the samurai's Ringo, and shoved it into his screaming mouth: "Now I've found four of the most skilled men to stab. They're as good at this as Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Abe no Seimei at exorcising demons. They once achieved the remarkable feat of stabbing 50 men to death 234 times in 3 days."

"Each one has their own unique strengths and special skills. Their fighting spirit and patience are truly amazing, and their secret weapons will give you unexpected surprises."

Those who kill will be killed in return; those who stab will be stabbed in return today.

……

In an unknown basement, the demons who had been cruelly exploited and kept by the Demon Ninja suddenly had bloodshot eyes, rose up like serfs and sang songs of triumph. A powerful energy filled their bodies, instantly overthrowing the Demon Ninja, and screams of agony echoed through the sky.

However, judging from the results, it seems there is no difference.

……

Inside the inn, the centaur landlady watched in horror as the guests fought amongst themselves, and several of them grew huge, sprouting sharp horns and turning into monsters.

—Not a ghost-like monster in China and the West, but a tenacious giant with horns on its head, red or blue skin, and a golden club in its hand.

"It seems we've exceeded expectations," the monk concluded after punching the rampaging monster into a bloody mist.

"I wonder how things are going on with Sister Fox." With some worry, Li Wei looked at the palace he had just left. At this moment, Kyoto was engulfed in flames, with constant fighting, cries of agony, and chaos everywhere.

……

"What happened?"

Hagoromo Gitsune, who had been in a cheerful mood, looked at the ever-emerging black mist and asked her attendants a question. The once loyal guards were now motionless, like wooden or clay sculptures, as if their life force had been robbed of them.

"Lord Hagoromo Gitsune, Kyoto is completely out of control now. Many ordinary people and minor yokai have suddenly gone berserk, becoming impulsive, irritable, and addicted to drinking and women."

Upon hearing the summons, the little monster who had run in from outside the door stumbled and knelt on the ground: "Some people's bodies have even changed, and they've become monsters."

"Really? It seems someone is itching to make a move against me." Upon receiving this bad news, the long-haired, black-haired woman remained calm instead of panicking.

Having encountered far more chaotic situations on their path to becoming the Lord of Demons and Monsters, some turmoil is not surprising.

"But speaking of which," Hagoromo Gitsune stared at the little demon kneeling before her, "I don't think I've seen you before."

Upon hearing these words, the little monster being watched was first taken aback, then revealed a very happy and surprised laugh.

"Really, really. You're still so vigilant. I was worried that you might be blinded by wealth and luxury, and then you wouldn't be able to get revenge." She said, "But now it seems I was overthinking it."

“I have enemies everywhere, and I’m always on high alert. How could I let my guard down?” The fox sister said, enunciating each word clearly, “Stop beating around the bush, leader of Mount Ooe.”

"Shuten-doji."

Volume 6: Chapter 31 Ibaraki-dōji, who likes minotaurs

At this time, Kyoto was in complete chaos.

The desires hidden deep within people's hearts are amplified, and countless humans and demons revel in unrestrained revelry, as if it were a sign of the impending apocalypse. Those who are severely affected are transformed into malevolent spirits on the spot, their original forms unrecognizable. It is likely that even if Hua Tuo were alive today, or the three Bian brothers were reborn, they would not be able to turn back.

Fortunately, these dark auras were of little use to those with some strength. Of the three, only Yamabuki was slightly affected, but the situation was greatly relieved after she was sandwiched between the boy and Ren's mother.

This scene felt familiar to Li Wei—Roya had done something similar in Tokyo back then.

But that time he used Sesshouin's invincible body. Does Sesshouin still exist this time? There are still hundreds of years until she was born.

"What should we do now?" The two women behind him looked at Li Wei at the same time, waiting for him to make a decision. Neither of them were good at making decisions.

"Let's go check out Sister Fox's palace first. This kind of attack will definitely target the leader with a decapitation strike in an attempt to create greater chaos." Without much thought, Li Wei quickly gave his answer: "Intervene directly on any situations that cause serious consequences along the way, and kill them on the spot if the situation is serious."

As if to confirm his words, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the distant palace, as if a fierce battle was taking place there.

Along the way, the numerous Kyoto demons, being territorial beings, naturally wouldn't allow these wretched outsiders to run wild in Kyoto. One by one, those who were just drinking and chatting at the banquet now picked up their weapons and began to quell the chaos caused by the black energy, resulting in a stalemate in the battle against the numerically superior demons.

"Sister Shegan, we want to join the battle too." "No problem, please give the order, young master."

The speaker was the brother and sister I saw earlier; they were now engaged in the battle to quell the chaos, and they didn't seem to be greatly affected.

"Damn, the lady who gave me oral sex suddenly turned into a demon and almost bit off my penis." "You're lucky. I ordered a slender monster girl, but she inhaled the black mist and revealed her true form—a praying mantis! She almost ate me." "I was the unluckiest. I ordered a snail girl—she's hermaphroditic! After inhaling the black mist, her lower body was bigger than me. If I hadn't run fast, I would be her accessory now."

The group that made such a statement was naturally the trio who ran into the demon brothel before. They were even going to write a book called "A Guide to Evaluating Interspecies Women," and just from the title, you could tell that its negative influence on teenagers was immeasurable.

To be fair, although these guys seem unreliable, they are quite capable in combat. Ordinary evil spirits are no match for them and are all instantly killed. They are definitely not ordinary people who have gone missing after trying to seduce someone.

After being caught off guard, the defensive forces, which began to react, withstood the initial attack and entered a stalemate.

"After this battle, let's go to Nara and try out some new prostitutes!" "Great! We'll definitely get a lot of money for helping quell the rebellion... There's a short one up ahead, watch me take her down!" "Don't worry, she's alone!"

"boom!"

Amidst the billowing dust, the guy who had just uttered those strange death flags was blasted away by a single shot. This time, he was facing an opponent far stronger than ordinary people.

"Damn it, how dare you look down on me."

The petite woman, dressed in a golden kimono, with disheveled blonde hair and an arrogant expression, revealed a maniacal smile. Judging from the large number of corpses lying at her feet, she was at least a mid-level boss.

Childlike and ferocious, cruel and innocent—words that should have been unrelated were perfectly embodied in her. After easily defeating the few lecherous men, this guy's attention shifted to Li Wei and his two companions.

His eyes lit up especially when he saw the boy.

"Hey there, handsome young man! Yes, you, how about becoming my toy?"

Li Wei: "..." What are you talking about? What's the difference between this and grabbing a beautiful girl on the street and asking her if she'd like to be your firearm?

Unless I happen to meet someone named Ogiwara Sayu, how could I possibly agree?

However, before he could refuse, Sister Yamabuki and Aunt Ren had already stepped in front of him, as if Li Wei would really pass by if he didn't do so.

Otome Yamabuki: "Where did this little kid come from? Is your body fully developed yet, trying to steal my man? Or did you not give me enough homework?"

Lotus Mom: "That's right, that's right. Kids these days are really... It's true that the world is going to the dogs and morality is declining. They need to come to Minglian Temple to practice properly."

"Are these two your women?" Ignoring the two protesting, the blond kid asked curiously.

"Um..." The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

This kid may lack manners and shame, but he has good taste.

"Too old. A girl whose physical age is over fourteen is considered a mature woman."

What kind of nonsense is this? Do all ghosts have Char Aznable's aesthetic sense?

Otome Yamabuki: "Oh my, what kind of incredibly nice things are you saying? A kid like Master Byakuren should be properly disciplined, right?"

Lotus Mom: "That's right, it feels good to snatch away the man you like... I'm saying that's wrong, and you need to be corrected!"

Young ghost: "You speak so grandly, but you just want to collect it for your own use, right? You monks are the most hypocritical."

I'm a living, breathing person, doesn't anyone want to listen to my opinion?

Otome Yamabuki: "In the eyes of a demon who knows nothing of etiquette, all morality does not exist. Naturally, you would not understand how virtuous and respected the master is."

Lotus Mother: "That's right. Even if Li Wei is handsome, has a good personality, is good at treating illnesses, has good ideas, is gentle, considerate, and understanding, and has the added advantage of being the man of a disciple, I still wouldn't make a move on him."

"Wipe your drool before you speak; it will make your words more persuasive."

The blonde demon child clearly lost the will to continue, or perhaps she was never the talkative type: "So you're not giving it to me, right? No problem, we demons love nothing more than stealing other people's precious things. These two are your women, right? I'll tie you up in a bit and watch me, Ibaraki-dōji, violate them!"

Having said all that, it's no longer possible to avoid a fight.

"Avi, you go ahead and do your work. Leave this to me." The kind-faced monk chanted Buddhist mantras with a smile, already prepared to subdue the demons: "It won't take much time, don't worry."

"Then I'll be going now." As he said this, he suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, she just said her name is Ibaraki-dōji, right? It would be best to capture her alive. I have some things to discuss with her."

The Tono family's impulse to reverse course still needs to be resolved by her. If she gets punched to pieces by Ren-ma, it will be troublesome, and she will have to piece it back together herself later.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure she doesn't die." But that just means she'll live.

Volume 6: Chapter 32 This is the man who can ride on my back

Shuten-dōji, one of the most famous great yokai in Japan, is a powerful being comparable to Hagoromo-gitsune, and was also the previous lord of yokai who occupied Kyoto.

However, after being severely injured by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, his strength was greatly diminished. Hagoromo Gitsune seized the opportunity to take his place. After his defeat, he retreated to the Oni Kingdom of Mount Oe with his subordinate Ibaraki-dōji and remained secluded there for over a hundred years.

Hagoromo Gitsune didn't see anything wrong with taking advantage of others in their vulnerable state, and even Shuten-dōji himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If their identities and experiences were reversed, she would definitely make the same choice.

Similarly, it's perfectly normal for the enemy to take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack back into Kyoto. If they fail, are driven out of Kyoto, or even lose their lives, they can only blame their bad luck and lack of ability, and will have no other complaints.

Although he had recently fought a fierce battle with a vampire and was still seriously injured, he believed that his strength had not decreased too much and that he should at least be on the same level as Shuten-dōji.

But as soon as they started fighting, she discovered that this guy's strength had grown to an unimaginable level.

"Hagoromo Gitsune, you've become lax."

The petite Shuten-dōji had a calm expression and a relaxed tone, as if he were greeting an old friend, but his actions were ruthless and merciless.

The longsword, even longer than his own height, was raised high, and invisible sword energy soared into the sky. Amidst the clanging of the sword, it slashed towards the long, straight black hair in front of him. The surrounding dust was stirred up by the burst of magic power, and the dust surged in all directions.

Contorting her body into an almost impossible pose, Hagoromo Gitsune narrowly dodged the sword, the magnificent palace behind her cleaved in two like butter cutting tofu.

"I've been preparing for this comeback for a very, very long time."

Shuten-dōji didn't dwell on the failure of her previous strike. She continued strolling leisurely and unleashed another sword slash. The sword light was like a rainbow, and a dragon-like sword aura burst forth from the sword, covering dozens of meters in an instant, shooting towards Hagoromo Gitsune and slicing her in half at the waist.

The fox sister vanished in a flash, leaving only a puppet doppelganger behind, which was struck by the sword light and instantly turned into dust.

"His ability to escape has improved a lot compared to before, but that's not enough to make him look like the master of demons and monsters."

Having missed twice, Shuten-dōji simply abandoned using the beam attack and swiftly approached his elder sister. His longsword, imbued with the boundless killing intent to command demons, enveloped her like a sudden storm.

The speed was too great and too fast, and with her body already locked on, Hagoromo Gitsune had no room to dodge. The only way was to fight head-on.

Ding ding ding ding…

Amidst a storm of metallic clangs, Shuten-dōji's longsword clashed with the fox sister's nine tails, sparks flying like fireworks.

In less than fifteen seconds, the longsword and the tail clashed hundreds of times.

Fifteen seconds later, the piercing sound suddenly disappeared. Shuten-dōji sheathed his longsword and said regretfully, "Your strength is not complete. It seems that your new injuries have not yet healed, but you know that."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the rest of the meaning was clear.

A fully-fledged Hagoromo Gitsune wouldn't have been defeated so quickly, but there's never any fairness in battles between yokai; taking advantage of someone's misfortune is considered perfectly normal.

Suddenly, countless blood lines appeared on the body of the older woman with long, straight black hair in front of her, and fresh blood gushed out from the dense blood holes at the same time.

With a soft thud, Hagoromo Gitsune knelt down on the ground.

Shuten-dōji's longsword was too fast. Her fox tail could only barely block the most fatal attacks. She could only endure the remaining attacks aimed at non-fatal parts. The fierce attacks almost dismembered her on the spot.

"Ah, I smell a power in you that does not belong to you."

Despite being cut down to the ground, Hagoromo Gitsune's tone remained relaxed: "So you've found a new backer?"

"This has nothing to do with you."

"You make it sound so impressive, I thought you really got it through your own abilities, but it turns out you found a new owner."

Despite being the defeated party, the fox sister's tone was full of condescending disdain: "Speaking with such a high-handed tone, is this the magnanimity of the lord of demons and monsters? It's really quite laughable."

"..." Shuten-dōji didn't speak, and her facial expression didn't change, but the chilling aura emanating from her showed that she was angry.

She wouldn't care if other people or yokai said such things, but it hurt her enough that Hagoromo Gitsune, who was also a great yokai and had once been the lord of demons and monsters, said them.

"Are you angry?" The woman with long, straight black hair tilted her head. "Or have you realized that you've lost your right to make your own decisions and are just a pawn in someone else's game?"

"It doesn't matter, the dead won't talk about me."

“Perhaps, but there is one thing I have over you.” Hagoromo Gitsune said, enunciating each word clearly: “No one has ever been able to ride on my back. Everything I do is because I want to do it.”

"Shut up!"

As Shuten-dōji drew his longsword, a deafening clang resounded, followed by a long, cold sword light that shot into the sky. Even in daylight, it was so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes. Simply looking at the white light was enough to cause eye strain and a chill down one's spine.

The indestructible sword energy slashed down instantly, and before it even touched her body, Hagoromo Gitsune already felt death approaching. She could even see a red-haired, busty girl ferrying people across the Sanzu River waving to her from not far away.

The sword energy exploded, instantly filling the entire space. The surrounding collapsed palace walls, trees, tables, chairs, and benches were reduced to dust in an instant.

Shuten-dōji's longsword stopped thirty centimeters away from the fox sister.

It wasn't that she changed her mind and decided to let Hagoromo Gitsune go; rather, a young man suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked the attack with a dazzling longsword.

I was so close to being late.

"Oh dear, it seems I need to take back one of the things I said earlier." The older woman with long, straight black hair suddenly relaxed a little: "Actually, there are still people who can ride on my back."
