Chapter 95: Kamikawa Chieko's Unique Mind
Netizens froze, as if struck by lightning, having not expected anyone to be so fierce.
Righteous Backstab: "Holy crap, bro, you're a bit fierce. Loyal to the new dad so fast? Totally caught off guard."
Originally, this netizen wanted to complain, and so did other netizens.
But the next second.
The netizen who proposed forming a group to burn it slowly replied.
"Did you notice? That 'tight-lipped Akainu' seems to have stopped talking after saying that part."
Tight-lipped Akainu was the netizen who revealed that the Yamata no Orochi was Xiangliu.
The message was sent.
Everyone, let alone peeing, was so scared they almost pooped, their spines and backbone as cold as ice pops.
"@Tight-lipped Akainu, brother, are you still there? Say something."
The result was no response.
For a moment, the internet was eerily quiet; those who didn't know might have thought the network had a massive outage or a power cut, so no one was speaking.
After a full two minutes of silence, a netizen finally typed on the forum.
Righteous Backstab: "Well... I think the suggestion to form a group to burn it actually has merit."
Immediately after.
"I'm very close to 'Akainu's' home. I just ran over to check, and he's gone..."
Just like a heart suddenly stopping, the internet fell into a sudden, dead silence.
"Let's form a group."
"Count me in."
"Just in case, let's burn it first."
Netizens spoke out; no wonder they were so, it was simply too terrifying. That netizen said they were gone and then vanished; it was hard for them not to believe that Chinese myths were supernatural.
At the same time.
Tokyo, Japan, the Diet building.
The Prime Minister, who was preparing to rush to the Higashi-Okubo combat zone to take a bite of the grass, used the spare time while waiting for the helicopter, just like the cabinet ministers beside him, to scroll through his phone, and happened to scroll onto the netizens' discussion.
Not looking was fine, but looking made him sick with fear.
The Prime Minister almost couldn't hold his phone steady and dropped it, then, amidst the cabinet ministers' puzzled gazes, handed the phone to them to see.
Their eyes widened sharply.
"Is this speculation true?" the cabinet ministers exclaimed in horror, asking a question they already knew the answer to.
Silence.
So quiet it seemed one could hear the sound of air flowing.
The cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister looked at each other, and for a long while, no one spoke.
"Send someone to check on that netizen to see if he's really gone. If... if he really is gone, maybe we should demolish the Yasukuni Shrine," the Prime Minister voiced the words he had been holding back for a long time.
Having spoken, his face showed a wave of fear after the fact.
Having witnessed the power of Master Konghai and Lord Cimu, he could not imagine how terrifying a supernatural being far more powerful than them would be; if such a being got angry, death would probably become the most luxurious happiness at that time.
Tokyo, Japan, Arakawa District, an apartment.
After spending Script Points to silence that "tight-lipped Akainu," Kamikawa Mitsu spent the remaining few Script Points.
He once again spent all his Script Points for the sake of the script.
In fact, he originally did not intend to spend these remaining few Script Points, but after seeing that netizen's remarks and then seeing the remarks about forming a group to burn it, he decided to silence this netizen.
The reason was nothing else; he was Chinese in his past life.
As a member of China, who wouldn't want to burn that thing?
If silencing the netizen could cause the Japanese to burn that thing, he was very willing to do it.
Besides that.
He also wanted them to know that one mountain is higher than another, so they wouldn't get swollen-headed and think they were number one in the world.
Of course, the main reason Kamikawa Mitsu dared to use Chinese myths to scare the Japanese, without fear of being exposed or anything, was simply that Chinese myths were awesome; there was no such thing as being exposed, because anyone who had studied Chinese myths would know that, looking at myths globally, in terms of grandeur, combat power, and so on, China was absolutely number one, unmatched by anyone.
Therefore, if these Japanese netizens wanted to expose it, they would only become more shocked the more they investigated, more terrified the more they investigated, and in the end, they would become Chinese boosters.
"Nii-san, it's time to eat."
Having finished watching the Higashi-Okubo livestream, Kamikawa Chieko prepared the cooling dinner.
"Nii-san, I just saw someone online say... Nii-san, I remember you said earlier that Amaterasu Xia Mei is the transfer student at your school, right?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god, it's true."
Kamikawa Chieko covered her slightly open small mouth, her Bai Xi face showing surprise.
Immediately, she asked Kamikawa Mitsu mysteriously.
"Nii-san, when you were watching the livestream, was Amaterasu Xia Mei in the combat zone holding a bow? Was that bow the Hakuma Bow from the shrine?"
The Hakuma Bow was a tool used by Shinto priests and shrine maidens in Japanese shrines to exorcise demons; it attached the power bestowed by the gods to arrows, allowing them to shoot and kill evil spirits.
Kamikawa Mitsu, who was eating, looked slightly startled.
Why bring up Amaterasu Xia Mei while simply eating a meal? Even if the Higashi-Okubo incident led to mentioning Amaterasu Xia Mei, why bring up the tool she was holding?
Although he didn't understand why Kamikawa Chieko was asking these things, Kamikawa Mitsu still put down his bowl and chopsticks and thought for a moment.
Recalling the time when he (Master Konghai) took Amaterasu Xia Mei aside for a private conversation, he remembered that when Amaterasu Xia Mei thanked him for destroying the Six-Eyed Demon and bowed, she indeed seemed to be holding a bow in her hand, and she had to specifically put the bow on her back before bowing to thank him.
The last time he discussed Shinto with Amaterasu Xia Mei at school, the Hakuma Bow was mentioned; judging by its shape and style, it was the same as the bow she was holding.
"Right, it's the Demon-Breaking Bow. What's wrong?"
Kamikawa Mitsu replied to Kamikawa Chie, curious why she asked that.
"Nothing, just curious." Kamikawa Chie stuck out her little tongue, took two bites of rice, hesitated, then asked Kamikawa Mitsu again: "Nii-san, don't you think the Demon-Breaking Bow Kikyo holds in Inuyasha looks a lot like the one Shimotomi Xia Mei has?"
"It does look quite similar." Kamikawa Mitsu didn't overthink it, comparing them seriously.
The next moment.
Kamikawa Mitsu suddenly realized.
So Chie thought the bow Shimotomi held looked like the one from the cartoon. This girl really does let her imagination run wild.
He didn't notice that after receiving his reply, Kamikawa Chie's expression changed, looking surprised, yet also amazed.
Oh my.
It really is a Demon-Breaking Bow.
Kamikawa Chie's thoughts drifted far away, recalling a few days ago when she said Shimotomi Xia Mei was Kikyo, Kamikawa Mitsu was Inuyasha, and she herself was Kagome.
Her fantastical fantasy from that day had coincidentally come true.
Shimotomi Xia Mei really is Kikyo; both are transcendent, both have Demon-Breaking Bows, truly a real-life Kikyo.
Thinking this, Kamikawa Chie's watery big eyes bulgingly sparkled.
I guessed Shimotomi Xia Mei is Kikyo, so if I said I'm Kagome, shouldn't that be true too? Oh dear, but why do I have no magical power? Right... I remember Kagome also comes from a Shinto family, doesn't she?
"Nii-san, I can't remember, is Kagome from a Shinto family?"
"Kagome? Oh, you mean the female lead in Inuyasha, right? She is indeed from a Shinto family, a wealthy landlord family that runs a shrine. I think her grandmother was a miko."
Kamikawa Mitsu was at a loss for words; this girl was just thinking about Shimotomi Xia Mei's Demon-Breaking Bow, and now she's straight up talking about the Inuyasha anime. Her train of thought switches fast enough.
However, the next moment.
"Nii-san, did Kagome's father die? I mean, is she fatherless?"
Eh?
Kamikawa Mitsu almost choked on the rice in his mouth, looking at Kamikawa Chie with a strange gaze.
Chie, your train of thought isn't just fast; it's utterly bizarre.
How can you go from a bow to a family losing a father? Can the topic really be stretched that far?
