They know that most monsters possess formidable physical abilities.
Monsters prefer to use their fists and claws rather than weapons.
Objectively speaking...
Monsters like Hakuro and Mayoi are extremely rare.
"There's nothing much going on today, so how about we go take a look at Seven Horns Mountain?"
Whenever the White Wolf is mentioned, Kyosuke Kousaka misses her.
The image of the wolf's lively ears and bushy tail flashed through his mind, and he wanted to stroke them again.
By the way.
On ordinary days, White Wolf and Demon Blade Princess would patrol from the manor to the location of Seven Horns Mountain from time to time.
Therefore, you should be able to encounter these two shikigami/companions when you go to Mount Shichikaku.
"it is good."
After thinking quickly, Kagura readily agreed.
On ordinary days, Kyosuke Kosaka sometimes forgets some less important things, and she usually reminds him.
Right now, there's nothing much going on, so I can go anywhere.
Today's itinerary should end around noon, at which point the two of them should head back.
Because Kyosuke Kousaka also has to spend time with his other partners.
"These few days of leisure are all I have left..."
Kousaka Kyosuke sighed secretly.
Trying to ignore the unhappiness in his mind, he and Kagura headed to Mount Shichikaku.
The area around Qijiaoshan belongs to the mountain wind.
This demon king had previously sought help from Kyosuke Kousaka to find Kaoru, who resembled a younger sister.
Unfortunately, Kyosuke Kousaka didn't completely fulfill his wish, and after a private conversation with Enma of the underworld, Yamakaze returned to Mount Shichikaku, unsure of what he was waiting for...
In Kyosuke Kousaka's understanding, Kaoru is currently in an unknown space.
It's estimated that the space won't be fully revealed until the Cloud Mirror is shattered and the surrounding area becomes chaotic.
Probably so.
Kyosuke Kousaka was also speculating.
When they reached the foot of Qijiaoshan Mountain, a little girl who was only belly-high blocked their way.
The little girl was undoubtedly a monster.
Because her fleshy, ball-shaped tail, which was larger than her entire body, was too conspicuous.
"Oh dear, humans are not allowed to enter Mount Shichikaku. This is the territory of monsters, a very dangerous place, and there are many terrifying creatures inside."
"Alright, let's wander around then."
Kyosuke Kousaka smiled and said to the little girl with the big tail.
Upon seeing its appearance, he knew who the monster was.
Because this feature is too obvious—isn't this just "Komatsumaru"?
"It's dangerous around here too. Honestly, you humans are such strange creatures. You know this isn't a place for ordinary people, yet you still risk coming here."
It was indeed a little girl named Komatsumaru who was talking incessantly.
Just like a mother's nagging.
Kyosuke Kosaka felt that it had been a long time since he had spoken, so he decided to finish his sentence in one go.
"You wouldn't be doing this just for good luck, would you? You know, happiness is something you have to create with your own hands. Isn't that a simple principle? Asking others for help is just too lazy. You should suffer a little..."
Komatsumaru then started talking about other things.
Then, Kousaka Kyosuke and Kagura learned from this that there had always been people who wanted to come to Shichikakuyama to pray for blessings, and then they lost their lives.
Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka felt a surge of urge to make sarcastic remarks.
"You, Komatsumaru, should know perfectly well why you lost your life, shouldn't you?"
Despite wanting to say it, Kyosuke Kosaka held back.
Objectively speaking...
Komatsumaru was absolutely right.
"...In short, you guys should hurry home~" Komatsumaru continued to remind them in a friendly manner.
Kyosuke Kosaka smiled at Komatsumaru: "Okay, we'll head back now."
"What an obedient human being! If everyone could accept advice like you, so many people wouldn't have died."
"Good medicine tastes bitter, and honest advice is hard to hear."
"That's right! That's exactly it! Well said!"
Komatsumaru wagged his tail happily.
It was a pity that she missed out on a delicious meal, but she thought the development was wonderful.
Anyway.
She is a good child.
I've always hoped the world could become a better place.
"Goodbye then."
Heeding advice, Kyosuke Kousaka, who had stopped lingering at Shichikakuyama, chose to return to the manor with Kagura.
Originally, the plan was to stroll around Seven Corners Mountain and wait for White Wolf and Demon Sword Princess to arrive.
But now that a demon is offering advice, let's listen to it.
The main problem is that he didn't listen to advice, which will likely cause trouble. And trouble should be avoided as much as possible.
On the way to the manor.
Kagura suddenly said, "That yokai's aura is pure, yet very strange. It doesn't seem like a bad yokai..."
"Yes, even if this monster probably sees humans as food."
"……Oh I got it."
Upon hearing Kyosuke Kousaka's explanation, Kagura finally realized the problem.
No wonder she sensed both a friendly attitude from Komatsumaru and an unspeakable threat.
So this is ah!
"If ordinary people want to step into the territory of monsters, they must be prepared to bear the corresponding price..."
Kousaka Kyosuke sighed.
After arriving in this world, his values underwent some unique adjustments.
Just like now.
He implicitly accepts the idea that "monsters can legally eat people".
Even if some people say they didn't know they had stepped into the territory of monsters, do monsters understand reason?
Of course, they won't be going to reason with you much.
Generally speaking, reasoning with monsters ultimately leads to preparing for battle.
Once you win the fight, reasoning with the monsters and getting them to agree is generally very effective.
"I'm so sorry! Please let me go—"
A mournful scream suddenly rang out.
Kyosuke Kosaka and Kagura looked at each other, then decided to speed up their journey.
In less than a few breaths.
Kyosuke Kosaka witnessed a scene that left him bewildered.
A girl in a green dress closed her eyes and waved a dandelion she clutched tightly in her hand, surrounded by a group of bruised and battered demons...
Not far from the girl in the green dress, White Wolf and Demon Blade Princess also seemed to have heard the screams and rushed over.
Kousaka Kyosuke has now had his first meeting with these two shikigami.
Of course, this kind of meeting is truly unique.
"..."
Kyosuke Kosaka sized up the petite and slender figure of the girl in the green dress.
Her figure, which seemed so light that a gust of wind could blow her over, made it hard to imagine that the girl possessed such "violent" power.
