"The branch family... enshrines the spirit of Kuzu Ye, the ancestral fox...!?"
At this moment, Natsume was completely stunned.
Not to mention Natsume, even Suzuka was stunned.
"This... is this a joke...!?"
Suzuka couldn't help but scream in surprise.
Of course, the two girls would not regard the so-called enshrining the spirit of Kuzuye, the ancestral fox, as a simple sacrifice.
Considering Tsuchimikado Takahiro's solemn appearance, the true meaning of this sentence should be this.
"Just like our main family has passed down the guardian beast of the true dragon from generation to generation, our branch family has also passed down the spirit of the fox fairy from generation to generation."
Tsuchimikado Takakan revealed this secret that no one knew in front of everyone.
"Although I don't know whether the spirit of the Fox Fairy is Kuzuha, who is the ancestral fox, there is no doubt that she is an extremely powerful spiritual being. However, she has never agreed to become a shikigami and only accepts offerings from people in the branch family, so Outsiders have no idea that there is a fox spirit in the branch family, and almost no one has ever used the power of the fox spirit."
In view of this, others have no idea that there is such a secret in Tsuchimikado's family.
"Of course, in history, there are still several people who have separated families who have relied on the power of the spirit of the fox fairy."
Tsuchimikado Takahiro looked directly at Natsume and said this word for word.
"By becoming a living being."
Creatures.
That is to say, human beings who use themselves as their form and core and are relied on by spiritual beings, but are able to maintain self-awareness.
In the history of the branch family, several people had allowed the spirit of the fox fairy to take the form of themselves and attach themselves to their bodies, thus becoming living beings.
In this way, they were able to exercise the power of the Fox Fairy and become powerful beings.
Now that Tsuchimikado Takakan has spoken out about this matter, the meaning needs no explanation.
"If you want to gain strength, maybe you can try this method."
Tsuchimikado Takahiro mentioned this calmly.
However, regardless of Natsume, Chizuru Tsuchimikado immediately objected.
"No! It's too dangerous! I don't agree!"
Chizuru Tsuchimikado said these words without saying a word.
no way.
You must know that although living beings can draw on the power of spiritual beings within their bodies, they are also likely to be devoured and corrupted by the other party.
After all, the essence of all spiritual beings is to cause spiritual disasters, and being possessed by them will definitely not be without any danger.
It is precisely because of this that even if the spirit of the fox fairy is enshrined in a separate family, there are only a few people who choose to become living beings, only a few.
However, I have to say that if it can really succeed, it will definitely gain great power.
That was no ordinary fox, but a fox fairy.
I'm afraid, in terms of power and potential, it will definitely not be inferior to a real dragon like Beidou, right
What's more, if the other party is really the ancestor fox Kuzuye, it is second only to phase 5 and other existences known as gods.
Thinking of this, Natsume couldn't help but hesitate.
Seeing this, Chizuru Tsuchimikado became anxious.
"Don't agree! Natsume! It's really too dangerous!" Chizuru Tsuchimikado loved her daughter eagerly. While advising Natsume, she glared at Tsuchimikado Takahiro, and finally asked Tsuchimikado Yasumi for help: "You think so too, right? Taichun?"
After hearing Tsuchimikado Chizuru's words, the frowning Tsuchimikado Yasumi pondered and then spoke out.
"If this is Natsume's decision, I won't object."
Tsuchimikado Taishun responded indifferently.
"you... !"
Chizuru Tsuchimikado suddenly became angry.
Seeing this, Natsume calmed down.
Immediately afterwards...
"Father." Natsume cast his gaze on Tsuchimikado Takahiro and said resolutely: "Please agree to pass on the spirit of the fox fairy enshrined in the separate family to me, please."
Natsume then bowed to Tsuchimikado Takahiro and begged.
Seeing Natsume like this, Tsuchimikado Chizuru was speechless, and Tsuchimikado Takakan also sighed.
"Have you really decided?"
Tsuchimikado Takahiro made the final confirmation.
"Yes."
Natsume nodded obligingly.
This made Tsuchimikado Takahiro also nodded.
Just when Tsuchimikado Takahiro was about to agree, Suzuka on the side suddenly spoke.
"In that case, then turn me into a living being."
Suzuka actually said such words.
"Suzuka?"
Natsume was stunned.
"you?"
The others were also startled.
Under such a situation, Suzuka could not hide the wavering in her eyes, but she still smiled rudely and spoke like this.
"If Natsume chooses to become a fox, then I will choose to become a ghost."
Saying this, Suzuka took out something and displayed it in front of everyone.
It was that dark miasma.
"This is... !?"
Seeing this dark miasma, Natsume opened his eyes wide, and the expressions of the three members of the Tsuchimikado family changed one by one, and then they stared at it.
In response, Suzuka pretended to be nonchalant.
"This is something similar to a by-product that was born when that guy performed a ceremony. It seems to be a spiritual disaster formed by the twisted miasma under the influence of the spiritual energy storm at that time. It just seems to have become so weak for some reason, so I can only barely judge. It’s just a ghost-type spiritual disaster.”
Suzuka clenched the miasma ball in her hand and spoke as if she was wiping away the hesitation in her heart.
"If according to you, that guy held a real deity ceremony, and successfully brought down the gods of the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit, then this ghost must be a big character who has some connection with the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit, even if he is very weak now , if you rely on me, you should be able to regain your strength quickly, and by then, you won’t lose to any Kuzu Ye, right?”
An unyielding smile appeared on Suzuka's face.
To sum up, there is no need to explain what Suzuka wants to do.
"You want to put the fox spirit into Natsume's body, right?" Suzuka said without hesitation: "Then let this ghost spirit take over my body."
This is what Suzuka wants to do.
Everyone present was immediately speechless.
"Are you...are you crazy?" Natsume even said with a pale face: "This is a ghost!"
What is a ghost
Ghosts are the enemies of humans.
If it were Natsume, relying on the spirit of the fox fairy would certainly be dangerous, but at least the other party was not such a violent existence, and would not actively devour Natsume's self and make her fall.
But ghosts are different. They will definitely think about swallowing the host's soul and occupying her body all the time, so as to truly appear.
Therefore, it is not that there are no living creatures in this world, but there are extremely few ghosts, just for this reason.
Now, Suzuka actually wants to become a ghost creature. Isn't this crazy
"To be honest, I think I'm crazy too."
A look of self-deprecation appeared on Suzuka's face again, but this time it was more of struggle and realization.
Immediately, Suzuka said this.
"But if I have to fight Yase Douji, I will never win if I don't do this."
The Yase boy that Suzuka was referring to was of course Yashamaru.
"Since we are ready to become the enemy of Onmyoji, we must face that guy." Suzuka gritted her teeth and whispered: "Then I can't do anything without risking my life."
Because of this, Suzuka actively wanted to become a ghost creature.
Ironically, Yase Douji is also a ghost.
"So, if you don't turn into a ghost, you can't defeat him at all."
Suzuka convinced herself with this reason and made this decision.
At this moment, Natsume had nothing to say.
The three members of the Tsuchimikado family watched this scene with mixed feelings in their hearts, but they did not intend to stop it.
"If it has been decided, then I won't say anything more." Tsuchimikado Takakan said: "Don't worry, although I am just an onmyoji in the countryside, this is not the first time I have dealt with the problem of living beings. Even if I try my best, I won’t let you fall.”
Tsuchimikado Takahiro made this guarantee.
"Forget it! I don't care about you anymore!"
Chizuru Tsuchimikado opened her mouth, and finally gave up on her persuasion and started a quarrel.
"It's up to you to choose your own path."
Tsuchimikado Yasumi also said no more, just expressed it like this.
So, on this day, Natsume decided to become a fox, and Suzuka decided to become a ghost. In order to master these two powers, the two of them were destined to go through some arduous training and efforts.
The figure watching this process outside the window of the cabin slowly disappeared and left here.
... ... ... ...
Inside the hut, a three-legged golden crow sprinkled with bright fire powder flew out silently. It was not affected by the surrounding barrier at all, and it passed through it freely and flew into the air.
The next second, the three-legged golden crow turned into a coat, allowing the user who put it on to appear in mid-air.
The other party looked down at the hut below, muttering to himself as if helpless and relieved.
"Since this is your choice, as your master, I can only support you."
This person is none other than Luo Zhen.
I'm afraid that everyone in the Tsuchimikado family never thought that Luo Zhen had already come here, right
When Luo Zhen arrived here, it was when Natsume and Suzuka made their choice, so they did not sense Luo Zhen's arrival.
Thanks to this, Luo Zhen no longer needs to intervene in the decisions of those two people.
"Anyway, something happened here."
Luo Zhen raised his hand wearing the "Miracle".
"Zheng..."
I saw that the golden ring worn on it actually gave off a faint brilliance.
This is a reminder.
As long as it is a world connected by "Miracle", then when someone in that world urgently needs Luo Zhen to return and calls him from the heart, then "Miracle" will behave like this.
Roman also once commented on Luo Zhen like this, right
"The "Summoner of Miracles" who can summon various familiars and even be summoned by various worlds."
It is precisely because of this that Luo Zhen can safely travel across the world without worrying about Chaldea suddenly being destroyed one day. It is also thanks to this that Luo Zhen can stay in this world with peace of mind. Otherwise, he might really be worried about Asia. Sina and Yui's current situation and return to the world of Sword Art Online.
Now, in the world Luo Zhen has been to, there are people who are in urgent need of him and calling for him.
So...
"It's just an opportunity."
Luo Zhen glanced at the hut below again.
"I look forward to meeting you again, you will have been transformed."
"do not forget."
"You are my shikigami."
With these words, Luo Zhen turned into a three-legged golden crow and flew high into the sky.
"Zheng!"
Not long after, a channel of light appeared there, allowing the three-legged Golden Crow to fly into it and disappear from the world.
