Eleven years old. Strange phenomena frequented all over Japan, where monsters and ghosts appeared and attacked people.
Even from the mouths of people, the topic of those strange phenomena and the emergence of the "charisma" had become very natural.
For this reason, magicians from all over Japan were chased at the end of the year by monsters and evil spirits.
Ever since the time of peace, in this country, even when a case of paranormal realm has occurred, it has been secretly brought to an end by the magicians without being put on record as much as possible. To protect people's lives, to avoid unnecessary confusion - and to prevent the fact that many of the paranormal cases, if traced back to the original, are derived from the untimely work of the magicians, from becoming unknown.
For example, the existence of a monster. These are not naturally occurring. It is an artificial life originally created by a magician. It was created by surgical modification of people and animals.
If that fact were known among the people, there could be repression against the magician. A magician who makes a living exorcising monsters may also have been seen as making money doing selfies.
But the power of paranormal is not allowed to sustain the country. The circumstances in which demons (yawns) travel may not only mean that human lives are taken and order is disturbed, but may even be known to the fact that they have been kept secret.
"We are distorted lives created at human convenience. And the life of a human being is being picked on its own, a pitiful and miserable being. That's been happening for over a thousand years."
Late at night - in the woods behind the mountains, in front of the demons (yawns) of the various appearances that live side by side, the demons who look no different from those of humans are waving their hot valves in a fragrant tone.
Night is an outdoor time zone. The fear of those who arise from the darkness of the night strengthens their influence.
"It has been built up over the years, this humiliation, this resentment, this anger, this sadness, this despair, incalculable. If you don't do anything, they go on again. Load up. But we remain bound by this irrational fate. Unleash yourself with your own hands. We rise now to overthrow the world of men and make it a paradise for our demons"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The demons cheer and surprise the animals around them and the birds they slept with.
"There are other endorsers besides those assembled here. As you know, I have it moving around. And most importantly, to us..."
The monster waving the valve, in white ruggedness, has a very long face. The forehead is also wide, the hair is divided centrally and stretched to the waist, including the transverse hair back. His eyes were hanging thin, with cool eyes.
"The Beast Emperor is followed. His power, his divinity, if he had already done his worship, there would be no doubt that the battle under the Emperor would not be defeated. Those who have not yet done so should go and complete their prayers as soon as possible. Just witness the demonic power of the Beast Emperor, who will be able to pay like dust and mustard in the world of man, and courage and morale will daunt to the limit."
"Grey dragon. I don't know as many great monsters as I have."
A red giant deer demon, with four horns and countless mushrooms on his back and a long white beard dripping from his chin, uttered a low but often resounding voice.
"I thought it was the devil's king who deserved it, but I don't know the opposite of realism, such as the appearance of God's worshippers. I wonder if he's even in charge."
"Do you suspect it's a big, fat law screw? That's why I'm telling you to go see him. Others who doubt should go and see the Emperor now. If we meet with the Emperor, that suspicion will disappear."
A man in white ruggedness, called the Grey Dragon, turns his confident, graceful grin to a red deer demon. The lights that lit in the dark captured the hearts of the demons as they reflected his grin.
"But the demon of a woman should be careful. Emperors prefer women."
That's what I said, I refrained beside the gray dragon, a little body monster. Her skin is blue and black, her mouth is heavily torn and her fangs are growing outward. It is the same back length as a child, but the body is muscular.
He was a monster called a foot slashing boy. As the sleigh calls it, it is a monster with a fierce hostility towards man, who makes it a living reward to slash a man's leg.
"Go only to those who may be enchanted by the Emperor. Otherwise, I'd rather not see you."
"Oh, the story of Left Kyo is true. The emperor has no eye for colour, and prefers women to men and demons alike, but he is late. And those who possess the power to attract women, but have wives, let not their wives see them."
Grey Dragon supplemented the words of Left Kyo, the head of the foot slashing boy, one of the sides of the Grey Dragon.
"Shall we then take the daughters of men of good skill and give them to the Emperor?"
"I've already done that many times. You will rejoice as a souvenir, but stop if you intend to sell the festivities to the emperor. The Emperor is not of such a nature as to behold those who have made a contribution."
A giant red deer joked and said, but the grey dragon smiles small and gives the nail.
"It doesn't mean you're less intelligent, but its character, as its name suggests, is close to a pure beast. But its existence, as its name suggests, is equipped with impeccable vessels as rulers."
"Hmm. Just talking sounds spectacular, but that's why I'm looking forward to seeing you."
The words of the Red Deer demons also spoke for the mood of other demons who had not yet met with the Beast Emperor.
Seven years old. With tens of millions of deaths worldwide (also said to exceed 100 million in a narrative), the first pandemic caused by the flu in human history - the "Spanish Cover" - also wielded fierceness in Japan.
The number of deaths was so high that the crematorium could not keep up, and infant mortality reached its highest in the year.
At the time, a 10-year-old boy, Kasumino Wave Soldier (to Blur), also suffered from this Spanish episode of pneumonia, and was lying on the floor.
Many of the inhabitants of the same village had fallen to Spain for some reason. Like wave soldiers, many were co-morbid with other diseases. Few of them lived in the other worlds, so those who suffered from Spain were grieving, and those who were still safe were frightened.
"Wavemen, eat this"
At one point, his mother fed a strange tofu to wave soldiers. Oh, my God, it's tofu with grenades in it.
"Neighbor's deputy said he had healed from eating this tofu. Say pomegranate tofu. They say they cure any illness."
The village had been visited three times for a week now by a strange man known as the Pomegranate Tofu Sale.
Tofu with grenades literally inside. That was the touch of curing any disease, by the way.
And the man selling the pomegranate tofu wrapped his whole body in a blanket, leaving his skin untouched by any human eye. The soybean curd seller said because the skin is ugly and rotten due to the after-effects of the disease and cannot be shown to the public.
He's an extremely suspicious person, and usually such a frowning tale, hard to believe.
The mother of a wave soldier also suspected that, in fact, the neighbor's inhabitant was healing, and he couldn't possibly lie like that. I bought tofu and fed it to my son.
A few days after eating tofu, the wave soldiers were feeling better as if they were lying.
Wave soldiers are not the only ones who have recovered. And many of them that were afflicted with Spain in their villages ate this poached tofu, and became well as a lie.
Many villagers were happy that the Spanish callus had healed, but some time later, bad rumors were brought from the neighbouring town.
Tofu sellers always take one customer when they show up to sell tofu. So in a situation where there is absolutely no one around, you must not go shopping for tofu by yourself.
At first, the villagers laughed that it was demanding, but it turns out that the three of them disappeared from the village neglectfully. The same number of people as the three times the pomegranate tofu sale appeared in the village. And at the same time that rumors spread to the village, the pomegranate tofu sale stopped showing up in the village.
Furthermore, according to a later story, the tofu sale appeared everywhere in Japan and sold tofu.
In time, rumors of pomegranate tofu sales began to circulate everywhere, and by the time the rumors were known throughout Japan, they had also stopped hearing rumors that they had seen pomegranate tofu sales.
After that, there were various rumours that those who ate pomegranate tofu disappeared somewhere, those who ate pomegranate tofu went crazy and killed their families, and those who ate pomegranate tofu became monsters.
The village where the wave soldiers suffered from Spain - the villages of the Spanish villagers cured by pomegranate tofu - was gone. Leaving only traces of the village, all the villagers had disappeared, but the disappearance of all the villagers was too shocking and no one considered it linked to the pomegranate tofu.
And four years later, in the eleventh year of Daejong... Rumors of that pomegranate tofu sale appearing start circulating all over Japan again.
