Chapter 35
Because of the appearance of Canedras, Fengyuan's vacation was forced to end. Although it had been defeated by Jun Takano, this decision remained unchanged.
At the same time, Takano Jun's training was temporarily suspended, but Zhu Hoshidan still suggested that he and Fengyuan join together.
Of course, Takano Jun completely ignored this suggestion.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to rest, Jun Takano opened the space door and went home.
…………………………
At this time, let’s talk about Kirino Makoto, who is searching for Ultraman and traces of monsters in Japan.
Not long ago, based on a legend, Kirino Makoto came to the village in the Hikono Street area of Japan.
The environment here is not as prosperous as Tokyo, but it has a different flavor, with clear rivers, lotus root ponds full of lotus flowers, and green mountains...
As a person who grew up in a corner of the city, Kirino fell in love with the environment as soon as he arrived here.
Quiet, beautiful, and... monsters.
According to legend, the monster Ayan would disguise himself as a soba vendor at night and attack passers-by.
Kirino Makoto came because of him, but found other monsters.
On this day, he climbed up to the mountain temple on Yanye Street. The temple was not big, with only one big monk and two small monks.
Kirino Makoto learned an ancient legend about Master Ayan from the mouth of the great monk. He learned more and more details. At the same time, his suspicion of the monks also increased sharply.
You know, before going up the mountain, Kirino Mufu had already inquired about it from the old people in the village, but even those old people who were connected to the past knew very little about the legend of Master Ayan.
Most of them still respect Master Ayan, but just because of this respect for the legend, no one is willing to mention him in the village. As time goes by, Master Ayan is almost forgotten.
But now, Kirino Makoto heard a very true and detailed ancient legend from the great monk. Combined with the great monk's tone and demeanor, Kirino Makoto felt that he was a witness.
But Kirino Makoto was an extremely careful person. He remained suspicious of monks and stayed in mountain temples for a long time on the grounds of collecting folk customs.
During this stay, he really caught a monster.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
The little monk looked anxious, and his ears were changing uncontrollably and growing hair.
Recalling the innocence of the young monks, Kirino let go of his hand, and the arm-long tanuki tail was retracted into the young monk's clothes.
"You are a monster!"
Kirino Makoto did not feel disgusted with the young monk because of this. He still maintained his previous kind tone and said, "Does the host know that you are a monster? Or, are you all monsters?"
The young monk said nothing and huddled in the corner, tears glistening in his eyes.
When he was very young, the great monk used stories about Onmyoji and monster hunters to scare him. Now that his true identity has been discovered by humans, wouldn't it mean that he would be skinned and cramped?
The temple is very small, and the movement just now was overheard by another young monk, and soon the big monk came.
Kirino Makio and the senior monk were kneeling opposite each other. The two young monks were staring at Kirino Makio in the corner and talking quietly.
The great monk's expression was calm. He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "It seems that the donor has found someone to collect the news from."
Kirino Makio said: "It is somewhat different from my purpose, but it is still somewhat related."
He looked the great monk up and down and couldn't help but ask: "Is the host also a monster? Is this Yanye Street the territory of monsters?"
The great monk took a sip of tea, held the water glass, and said, "I am indeed a monster, but apart from the ocean and the underground, isn't this world all human territory?"
The rhetorical question silenced Kirino Makoto.
The great monk said: "If we don't harm others, live here as humans, and occasionally help humans pray for blessings, how are we any different from humans?"
Kirino Makoto said: "What about Master Ayan? He is a harmful monster."
"Master Ayan has indeed harmed others, I don't deny this." The elder monk turned his head and looked at the younger monk and said, "But if someone kills us, we have no choice but to resist."
"The legend in my mouth is hundreds of years old now. During these hundreds of years, Master Ayan rarely appeared in human sight. He likes human beings and existence, but he is destined to only live in the darkness of the village."
Early the next morning, Kirino Makoto left with his backpack.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, he looked back at the temple on the top of the mountain.
With the invasion of human beings into other biological environments, monsters living among humans are the only choice to survive.
"Monsters live in darkness, monks stand in the light."
"Master Ayan, can you stay like this forever?"
Kirino Makoto is not optimistic about this, because humans will never let go of the opportunity for development, and when the time comes, there will be conflicts between monsters and humans.
Takano Jun and Kirino Makio met in a noodle shop in Hikono Street Village. Takano Jun had no impression of the monsters Kirino Makio mentioned.
The only thought that crossed my mind was of Obik, not Master Ayan.
"The darkness in the village will definitely shrink." Jun Takano pointed to the lights in the noodle shop and said: "Street lights are already a tool for humans to face dark roads. No matter in remote villages, bright street lights will eventually be erected.
"
Kirino Makoto said innocently: "Then the monster can only retreat into the forest."
Jun Takano said: "Human beings will also dig roads in mountains, fill islands in the sea, and build cities underground. This is a wish that has appeared in the hearts of countless human beings. This is also something that will inevitably be experienced in the development of human civilization."
Kirino looked straight ahead and said: "That monster can only live in the sun and die in the sun."
Jun Takano turned around and glanced at the three monks who were engrossed in eating noodles. He turned slightly sideways and said in a loud voice: "What are you afraid of? Sunlight does not mean death. When you really can't live in the darkness, you might as well think about how to live better."
in the sun."
Kirino Makoto said: "But that's a monster."
"Have you forgotten where this is? This is Japan, there are eight million gods here, and a hundred ghosts walk at night."
"Monsters, who said those with ears and tails are monsters? I have to say it's role-playing."
Jun Takano put down Taiko and pointed to the country and said: "Make this a village full of legends of kind monsters, and combine it with the scenery here. Over time, this will become a unique tourist village."
"By then, the development that destroys the village may stop, and humans may hold a grand festival here where they play monsters. By then, you and I will both be monsters and you and I will be human beings."
Snap!
The great monk's tachyon fell on the table.
Takano Jun glanced sideways and said, "Monk, you've lost your temper."
The great monk stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed to Takano Jun and Kirino Makoto.
Takano Jun smiled and said to Kirino Makoto: "Look, this chanting is silly. I will remind you that he is so respectful."
Kirino Makoto smiled and said, "Is what Mr. Takano said really possible?"
The great monk raised his head and his eyes fell on Takano Jun.
A ray of sunlight passed through the window and fell on Jun Takano's face, shining brightly.
Takano Jun nodded, his eyes showing expectation.
"If you don't try, I won't try."
"I want to realize it..."
"You have to try it."
