Kyoto / Chapter 120: Takemikazuchi Didn't Want to See a Doctor

"..." Very good, it seems the Doctor has a solution.

Cong Yu felt relieved and decided to take the day off to go to Kyoto... However, for some reason, he felt that something was not right.

Why is it that none of the people he knows use conditioner or similar products?

Leaving aside children like Doctor and high school magical girls like Yaochuan Guang, even Kurenai doesn't need to...

Ah...

I wonder if Mrs. Nagashima will use it.

If even a widow like her isn't used...

The skincare industry in this world may be entering a downturn.

Chapter 119 Kyoto

"あるにそれは(This is on a certain day)"

"Something happened to me (something happened suddenly)"

"Hajime no Toilet Paper (The cause of the incident was a letter)"

"..." Cong Yu, wearing a mask, hummed a song with lyrics that were somewhat indistinct but still legible, as she strolled along a street adorned with lanterns.

Kyoto felt the same as always to him.

Many mountains, many temples.

The streets are full of izakayas... especially izakayas, the number of which is simply unimaginable, there is one almost every few steps.

Is the competition really not too fierce?

With her hands in her pockets, Cong Yu wandered aimlessly, a stark contrast to the weary faces of the people around her as they went in and out of shops and izakayas.

Casual, free, and unrestrained...

Wearing a mask and with long, tied-up hair that has a distinctly Kyoto feel, she looks just like an Onmyoji from a manga.

Unfortunately, Cong Yu was actually the one who was to be "defeated".

During the North Capital period, Kyoto was formerly known as... Kyoto.

That's right, unlike Wind City and Water City, because its original name format was also Xdu, it wasn't renamed to differentiate it from North Capital.

Of course, there's no need for Kyoto to change its name.

"Boom!!!"

Then, a loud noise suddenly came from an izakaya next door, as if the floor and the building had been smashed through.

"Run!"

"Here we go again..."

"Ugh!! It's this place again! This has happened countless times this week. My luck is absolutely terrible!"

Amidst the commotion, several men in suits reeking of alcohol, and countless women working in the izakaya, fled from inside.

Then, an Oni Clan the Oni race wielding a huge spiked club, carrying the izakaya owner whose face was covered in blood, threw him onto the street.

Similarly, this Oni Clan was also reeking of alcohol.

"Hahaha, this great one... this one..."

Laughing loudly, before he could say anything, the Oni Clan demon collapsed to the ground and fell fast asleep.

The passersby seemed to have gotten used to it.

Passersby bypassed the ghost lying on the ground, while the customers who had been forced out reluctantly headed to other izakayas.

That's it...

As for magical girls?

This is Kyoto, after all. When monsters attack, it's better to rely on a monster with a strong sense of justice to uphold justice than on a magical girl.

There is no place for magical girls to live here.

"..." Cong Yu sighed helplessly, and under the indifferent and calm gazes of those around her, she stepped forward and kicked the male Oni Clan with small horns on his head.

"Hey, wake up."

Oni Clan: "Ha-ha... hoo--"

Cong Yu: "..."

This guy is sleeping like a log.

Without a word, Cong Yu grabbed the small horn on the Oni Clan's head with one hand, then dragged him along, dragging him along like a lump of mud.

People on the roadside began to make way for Cong Yu.

Although they didn't find any strange characteristics in Cong Yu, they still considered him a strange person for the time being.

Normal people wouldn't go out wearing a mask.

Since it's not a demon, it probably doesn't come from Mount Oe, so it's likely a strange person from the Tamamo Palace.

In any case, these two eccentric districts located in Kyoto don't have any connection with ordinary people.

Just pretend you didn't see it.

Even if they were caught in the crossfire or attacked by strange people, they could only accept their bad luck... but everyone felt that their luck couldn't be that bad.

"Uh... cough cough cough..."

The Oni Clan being dragged along by Cong Yu woke up amidst the jolting, and upon realizing his situation, he immediately broke free from Cong Yu's grasp.

He rolled over and stood up, immediately showing a wary expression as he looked at Cong Yu: "Dude, who are you?!"

The person who can drag me along the road is probably not an ordinary human.

"I'm Shuten's friend. I came to Kyoto to see her, and I felt ashamed to see you lying by the roadside, so I'm going to drag you back to Mount Oe."

Cong Yu briefly explained the situation.

The Oni Clan's expression immediately turned awkward. "Ah, this... a friend of the boss..."

Completely believing Cong Yu's words, the Oni Clan immediately coughed twice. "I have a high alcohol tolerance, I just wasn't paying attention for a moment..."

"Should I not return to Mount Oe for the time being?"

Cong Yu was curious about their relationship with Shuten: "Would Shuten yell at you if you collapsed on the roadside?"

At Cong Yu's question, the Oni Clan's steps slowed. "Because I smashed up the shop... I might get beaten up and put in solitary confinement."

He said this with a somewhat awkward expression.

"However, I guess I can't avoid getting beaten up. Could I go back a little later, at least until the old man calms down a bit, so he can go easy on me?"

"..." Cong Yu didn't really have the idea of dragging the other party back to admit their guilt, she nodded.

After nodding, he watched as the other person ran away as if granted a pardon.

It seems that the environment in Kyoto is better than he had imagined.

If an eccentric subordinate makes a mistake, he will be beaten or imprisoned.

While there may be no strict rules or regulations, the severity of punishment depends entirely on the mood of Shuten and her subordinates.

Therefore, magical girls are indeed unnecessary...

With these thoughts in mind, Cong Yu suddenly felt a tap on his left shoulder. He quickly turned his head to the left and looked behind him.

But there was nothing there.

Then, feeling a pat on her right shoulder, Cong Yu looked to her right rear and saw Shuten grinning mischievously.

"You're so childish."

Ignoring her comment, Cong Yu continued walking, "You just show up like this so openly? It's very conspicuous..."

In response to Cong Yu's words, Shuten pointed at Cong Yu's face. "You're the strange one. You're clearly a king, yet you wear a mask."

"..." Cong Yu found it difficult to explain to her why she needed a "human identity", because that would make her seem like she was playing a role-playing game.

You might be mocked for being Shuten using the same words.

Cong Yu needs an identity to attend school, so she can experience firsthand what her hometown, Wind City, is really like.

However, Shuten also doesn't understand why he needs to go to school.

After all, at their level...

All the rules of the world no longer matter; every Gate in the world must open its doors before them.

What are problems in the eyes of ordinary people are no longer problems.

With a wave of their hand, they could shatter a city; with minimal effort, they could wipe out the entire kangaroo population of Australia...

(Kangaroo:???)

When they possess such power, it is the little things that are interesting that truly capture their attention.

Some games and competitions between beings of similar level, which may seem boring and idiotic to outsiders...

Only then can it be considered interesting.

Chapter 120 Takemikazuchi Doesn't Want to See a Doctor

"Drink! Drink some more!"

"Look at this A-Qing, he's such a loser, he got drunk after just a few cans."

"That A-Qing is such a loser!"

"So, you're pretty brave, huh?"

"Just kidding, I'm super brave, okay..."

"..." Cong Yu struggled to walk between the tables, watching the drunken Oni Clan, trying her best not to step on the scattered bottles on the ground.

"Mount Oe is still the same as before."

Shuten casually shrugged at Cong Yu's assessment. "If the king has never changed, if the king's mind has never changed... then how could our Mount Oe have changed so much?"

As he said this, Shuten pointed to the LCD TV hanging on the wall. "However, it's not entirely unchanged... Compared to decades ago, we've bought a lot more technological equipment. Sticking to old ways will lead to being left behind by the world."

Indeed, even the eccentric Shuten understands this, while on the magical girl side... there are quite a few who consider themselves veterans and stubbornly cling to their old ways.

"Actually, not many people in today's society still enjoy watching TV; most people prefer to play with their mobile phones."

As Cong Yu led Shuten into the corridor on the other side of the tavern, he tilted his head in confusion and said, "Is that so? I'm not quite sure."

"But aren't cell phones for communication and interaction? Oh, and for playing games... What if you want to watch a movie?"

Sure enough, people who live too long (or are eccentric) will eventually become a little bit out of touch.

Shuten were broken.

"You can watch videos on a video streaming app."

"Oh? Oh! There's such a thing? As expected of you, Cong Yu... But, it's definitely more comfortable to watch on a big screen."

Although Cong Yu didn't think there was anything particularly noteworthy about it that made him say "As expected of you," he didn't dwell on it and nodded instead. "That's true."

While the two chatted idly, Shuten, leading Cong Yu, gradually approached a room.

"Wait! Is Cong Yu here? Is it Cong Yu?"

Then, a sound came from the room; it sounded like the voice of a very young child.

Although he has outgrown his naiveté, it's not accurate to say he's afraid of "children." But to call him a "teenager" feels somewhat androgynous.

Since puberty hasn't started yet, it's sometimes difficult to tell if someone is male or female...

No, to be precise, it's indistinguishable between male and female.

Immediately afterwards, a shameful yet urgent voice came from inside the room. "Cong Yu, don't come in yet! Don't come in yet!"

"Transform!"
