Chapter Index

    “Huh? Did you just say ghost ritual?”

    Shuten-Doji opened his eyes wide as if he had heard something unexpected and asked.

    ‘Uh, is this really okay?’

    Looking at that sight, the woman wearing the mask, no, Kagura Rumi, felt uneasy inwardly without letting it show.

    This was something you would never see in a fight like this, as she usually rushed into it without hesitation, but it was not surprising that she was acting like this now.

    After accepting Do Yu-jin’s offer without realizing it, she was left standing there blankly until she was kidnapped and taken away on a motorcycle. When she came to, she was already here, so she didn’t have time to ask any questions.

    In other words, right now, Rumi was just spitting out what Do Yu-jin told her to say like a recorder, and she had absolutely no knowledge of what was happening here or what she was doing.

    ‘Ugh, idiot… … ‘

    Rumi, who was momentarily blaming herself for being swept away by the waves without knowing anything, turned her eyes and looked at Do Yu-jin.

    ‘My mother used to say that if a woman falls for a man, there’s no answer. Is that really true? Even in this situation, I don’t hate that guy, but rather I see him as cute and cool, so I think he’s really gone crazy… ‘

    Ugh-

    ‘Anyway, it’s all because of this guy! His body odor is strangely fragrant, and he keeps popping out from somewhere to tempt me!’

    Anyway, Rumi, who had finally come to an end with the thought that it was Doyujin’s fault right in front of her, barely turned her eyes to look at Shuten-Doji.

    ‘Whew, by the way, what the hell is this ghost festival? I don’t know what it is, but whatever it is, in a situation like this, it doesn’t look like that guy will readily accept our offer.’

    While Rumi was rolling her head in puzzlement.

    First of all-

    “Why are you just sitting there? Shuten-Doji.”

    Do Yu-jin took a step forward and opened her mouth as if scolding him.

    “You should be able to tell right away that you are qualified to apply for the ghost ritual from our organization’s older sister, right?”

    Organization? Sister?

    When Rumi was confused by something that sounded strange at first glance, Shuten-Doji spoke while supporting the garden.

    “Certainly… …it’s imperfect, but it looks like you’ve got it right.”

    “Yeah, but why is there still no answer? I heard that Shuten-Doji never avoids drinking or fighting, no matter what the situation. Was that a rumor? Or is that… … ”

    Do Yu-jin spoke with a lot of mockery in the words that came out of her mask.

    “Could it be that the Shuten-Doji of that time is already dead because of a seal that only lasted a few hundred years?!”

    Do Yu-jin, who had raised her voice at some point, looked around at everyone present like an actor on stage and spoke loudly.

    “If so, bow your head immediately and offer your two-facedness to my sister! If you do so, I will accept you as a member of our Baekguiyahaeng and allow you to live your life!”

    It is an understatement to say that it is a provocation that is openly challenging a fight.

    Looking at him.

    ‘It had that kind of charm too… … ‘

    ‘Oh, you look so manly.’

    Rumi gulped blankly, while Yumi’s eyes sparkled as if she found it amusing.

    Ugh-!

    “That cheeky bastard!”

    “Only a human being… … ”

    The onis trembled with rage.

    But just one person.

    “Phuh! Puhahahaha!”

    Only Shuten-Doji burst into laughter as if he was genuinely happy to see Doyujin.

    And with one of his small movements, the atmosphere of the space changed once again.

    “Ugh!”

    “What the heck is this… … !”

    A small amount of magical power flows out as control breaks down due to laughter, filling the stadium and crushing everyone present, holding their breath.

    The feeling of being a child’s toy who doesn’t know how to control his strength.

    When everyone else was barely able to breathe.

    “It seems like the world started going crazy while I was sealed!”

    The innocent and cruel tyrant, Shuten-Doji, glared at Doyujin and said.

    “It’s ridiculous that a half-assed person leads such a shabby organization and calls me a ghost priest, but how dare a human put such a foolish and arrogant person in his mouth? And in front of this Shuten-Doji?”

    A ray of anger appears on his face as if it were blooming from laughter.

    Wow-!

    Just by doing this, cracks appear in concentric circles on the walls and floor centered around Shuten-Doji, windows burst, and glass explodes and spreads out.

    But this wasn’t an attack or anything like that.

    It was simply that the environment could not withstand his emotional changes and collapsed.

    ‘This is crazy… … ‘

    ‘It seems to be stronger than I thought.’

    Everyone who noticed him became tense in the face of Shuten-Doji’s power.

    However, there was only one person, Do Yu-jin, who stood there confidently and calmly and asked in a different tone than when she first opened her mouth.

    “So what’s the answer?”

    “Poohahahaha! This cheeky guy!”

    Shhh-

    “Okay, good! How dare you dare put the spirit offering in your mouth! I, Shuten-Doji, will personally punish you!”

    Choaaaak-

    Shuten-Doji declared this with a loud voice, grabbed the gourd at his waist and swung it around.

    Then, the sake that appeared from the gourd like a water snake drew a huge circle between Shuten-Doji and the three of them.

    A circle that is sweet like melted sugar, but also gives off a pungent scent like a drop of blood.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Ah! Ah! Ah!

    The onis cheered when they saw him.

    Then he struck the ground in time with the weapon he was holding, and let out a loud noise with his lips pursed.

    It’s too rough to be called a song, but too rhythmic to be called a shout.

    A gigantic wave of sound created by hundreds of Oni.

    A normal person would not have been able to withstand the pressure and would have collapsed immediately.

    In fact, Do Yu-jin also felt a slight tingling sensation inside her.

    Shhh-

    “Is this all you have?”

    He hid his condition by forcibly raising the corners of his lips and snorting, and then laughed at them in return.

    “This is the only festival in hundreds of years! This isn’t exciting enough!”

    Do Yu-jin shouted loudly with those words and then stomped the ground hard with her foot.

    Shuaak-!

    Then, as if black paint had been poured out, the shadow under Do Yu-jin’s feet spread endlessly, continuing to dye the floor.

    The shadow that had been stretching out like that for a long time soon resonated with the numerous stakes that Do Yu-jin had placed here and there before entering the stadium, and then rose upward as if raising his own body.

    “What is this? It suddenly got dark?”

    “Is that what that human did?”

    While the Onis were confused as they saw a hemispherical shadow engulfing the entire stadium.

    ‘Please.’

    Do Yu-jin put her hand on the floor, no, put her hand in the shadow and extended a helping hand with a desperate heart.

    At his request.

    Whirlyrick-

    The flow that filled a world, different from the waves or the wind, tickled Do Yu-jin’s fingers as if showing off its charm, then quietly opened its body and poured out everything inside it all at once.

    “Huh? What are they? Is that human guy attacking?”

    “No, rather than an attack, isn’t that… … meat?”

    As if dropping shooting stars, the hemispherical curtain surrounding the stadium spits out alcohol, meat, and all sorts of pleasures.

    ‘Whew, the father is quite the rough man with his daughter.’

    Phew-!

    Yumi, who saw him, used the spell she had prepared in advance to create a huge wind and quietly settled them all on the floor.

    A forest of meat and a lake of wine created on an island of corpses and a sea of blood.

    “Phuh! Puhahaha!!!”

    Looking at him, Shuten-Doji couldn’t hold back and laughed loudly.

    “Okay! I’ll admit that you’re compatible with us when it comes to snout-like behavior!”

    Shhh-

    “Then what kind of power do you have? Let’s take a look now!”

    Shuten-Doji snapped his fingers and called his subordinate.

    Doyujin, who saw him, took out a large Japanese cup similar to the one he had thrown at Shuten-Doji but of a different color and put it in Rumi’s hand.

    “What, what is this? Why are you giving me this all of a sudden?”

    “Sorry, I didn’t have time to explain in detail since you asked for my help.”

    Do Yu-jin said that and lightly grabbed her hand.

    “I know you’re not keeping up with the situation, but don’t worry about it right now.”

    “No, even if I tell you not to worry… … ”

    “It’s okay, you can do it.”

    Do Yu-jin spoke with confidence, looking at Rumi who was flustered by his reckless words and actions.

    “I’ll do everything I need to do. So you just set the mood here and have a drink like that guy every time I give you the signal.”

    Turbuck-

    “No, never do anything else.”

    After finishing speaking like that, Do Yu-jin entered the circle made of alcohol.

    “Okay, then let’s get started!”

    Shuten-Doji chuckled and threw the giant bottle he was holding into the sky.

    The gourd that had been spinning and rising for a long time was caught in the air as if by a transparent hand, and this time it created clouds and fog within it, causing a drizzle in the stadium.

    ‘A gourd that endlessly pours out all kinds of liquor. I’ve seen it as a game item, but it’s still amazing.’

    Lick-

    ‘By the way, I never imagined that I would be drinking my first drink after being intoxicated in a place like this, in this form… … ‘

    Sigh-

    ‘Well, that’s how my life is.’

    The moment Do Yu-jin had that thought, she gently brushed her bangs that were soaked with alcohol upwards.

    Kuung-!

    “Khahahahahahahaha!!!!!”

    One of the chosen demons of Shuten-Doji kicked the arena and fell down into the circle where Doyujin was.

    That’s when… no, the moment when two people gathered in the ring.

    “Wooo!!!”

    From that moment on, the Onis’s cheers grew louder.

    Oni, who came down from the stands to the stadium, responded to the cheers by swinging his weapon wildly, then opened his mouth with an expression that openly mocked Do Yu-jin.

    “Okay, you cheeky brat. Have you thought of your last words?”

    “Know that you are lucky.”

    “Huh? What did you say?”

    Do Yu-jin said, looking at the large Oni’s puzzled expression.

    It’s something you would never say under normal circumstances, but it’s something you absolutely must say to liven up the mood.

    “If there was no rule that the challenger starts by getting hit first, you wouldn’t have been able to act so arrogant and would have died.”
