Abnormal Moon

At that bus stop, a young girl was sitting there, as if she were taking shelter from the rain.

"Someone?"

Seven chapters are still owed.

Chapter 356 The Incredible Pokemon (82k)

A light drizzle was falling in front of the station.

As evening fell, the chilly autumn wind blew, like a fine net woven layer upon layer, enveloping people and making them feel as if they were underwater, with the cold air penetrating from all directions.

Miko Yotsuya sat on a chair at the station.

She had intended to wait for the sky to clear up, as the drizzle wouldn't last long in early autumn.

But at that moment she felt a chill, as if she had fallen into the bottom of a lake covered with a thick layer of ice, and she sat in the chair, not daring to move.

Fear surged through her like a tidal wave, overwhelming her every part of her body and making her instinctively want to tremble, but she forcefully suppressed this instinct.

"Hey, can you...see it?"

A giant chestnut monster with a lantern on its head stood before her, its dark eyes staring down at her, its gaze sweeping over her, its oppressive eyes seeming to pierce a hole in her.

Yotsuya Miko remained silent, showing not a trace of panic on her face.

He just looked up, staring blankly at the sky.

"When will the rain stop...?"

She looked at the sky where the drizzle continued, and murmured casually.

It was as if he was talking to himself.

Nobody knows.

She is now staring directly into the monster's eyes.

The enormous body, large enough to swallow her whole, was right in front of her, its eyes staring straight at her, radiating a dangerous aura, as if it might grab her at any moment, throw her into its mouth, chew her up, and devour her.

"Can you...see it?"

The monster lowered its head, its tone sounding disappointed, but it asked again, unwilling to give up.

Yotsuya Miko seemed not to hear it at all. After looking at the sky for a while, as if she felt that the rain wouldn't stop anytime soon, she lowered her head out of boredom and started playing on her phone.

The monster watched her movements and saw that she was completely absorbed in the world of her phone. It lingered in front of the girl for a while, and when it realized that she really couldn't see it, it turned away in disappointment.

Until the monster left.

The tension in Yotsuya Miko's mind slowly eased, her heart pounded wildly, her blood flowed faster than usual, and her hands and feet felt as cold as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

"Woo..."

Yotsuya Miko sniffed and let out a soft sob.

My eyes welled up with tears, and I had to force myself to hold them back.

She tucked her knees in and buried herself in the corner of the seat, like a wronged cat whose territory had been taken away.

"I feel like a little bit has leaked out... I'll take a shower when I get back..."

The bottom of her skirt was a little wet.

You must have been so scared just now that you couldn't help it.

But then again, what's with that monster?

It looks like it stepped out of a movie; it's frightening to look at.

She was amazed that she could endure until the monster left; she had to admire her own patience. Most people would have screamed in terror and fled in a panic, or simply been paralyzed with fear.

Were there monsters like that before?

How come she has never seen it?

I suddenly saw it today!

Is it her who's acting strange, or is it the world that's acting strangely?

Once she relaxed, her mind started wandering uncontrollably.

"...Alright, get on there!"

"No, that's terrifying!"

Don't you want to be praised?

"I don't need to find monsters that look scary! I don't care, I want to find cursed spirits that are easy to bully. As long as I take a picture of them, everyone will praise me!"

what sound?

Are people arguing?

Yotsuya Miko came to her senses slightly, and just as she was about to peek out, she remembered the monster from before and shrank back into her shoulders.

However, the voices outside were clearly human, and they were talking about monsters and cursed spirits.

Yotsuya Miko couldn't resist peeking out and looking in the direction from which the sound came.

They were a boy and a girl of similar age, both around ten years old.

The white-haired boy stood behind the pink-haired girl, his hands on her shoulders, as if he were forcefully pushing her toward the station.

The pink-haired girl resisted fiercely, her face full of resistance; anyone who didn't know better would think she was about to be pushed off a cliff.

"With me here, what are you afraid of!"

Roy pushed Pochi-chan step by step toward the station. How could Pochi-chan possibly resist him with her small strength?

"Hurry up, look, that cursed spirit is about to escape!"

"They're running away? Great! Let's go find an easy-to-bully cursed spirit!"

"That's just a level three cursed spirit, it's already the easiest to bully, even your slug is stronger than it!"

"...Are you serious?"

Boqi-chan's ears stood up.

Upon hearing that the cursed spirit was easy to bully, their resistance immediately diminished.

But thinking of this devilish teacher's behavior, she still turned her head and gave him a suspicious look.

He's the kind of person who could throw her into a basement full of cursed spirits without hesitation. Even if he lied to her that the cursed spirit was weak, it's entirely possible that the cursed spirit was actually not weak at all!

"If you don't believe me, go and try it!"

Roy rolled his eyes. Who am I working so hard for?

"Anyway, we're not going back today unless you kill a cursed spirit. The next one we encounter might not be as weak as this one. Think it over carefully!"

Roy pointed to the cursed spirit walking in the opposite direction from them not far away and urged Pochi to rush up and take it down.

"That... it's really too scary. Look how tall it is. Let's go find the next one. What if the next one is even weaker?"

Boqi-chan glanced at the cursed spirit that was gradually disappearing into the distance and swallowed hard.

Even though Roy said it was weak, it looked very tall! It looked scary too, and it had many hands on its body. No matter how you looked at it, it had nothing to do with being weak.

Okay, compared to this monster that looks very strong, she still chooses to find the next cursed spirit, just in case the next one is weaker than this one!

People must have dreams!

Believe in the possibilities of the future!

Don't put all your eggs in one basket!

"..."

Roy glared at her with a look of disgust.

Then he lowered his head, found a pebble on the ground, and wrapped it with his magic.

"Shh!"

With a flick of his finger, he sent the stone flying like a marble.

The flying stones were like bullets, covering a distance of over 100 meters in the blink of an eye.

With a sharp rip, it accurately struck the lantern above the cursed spirit's head, tearing apart the tentacles connecting its head to the lantern.

"Ooh ooh!"

The cursed spirit suddenly let out a deafening roar.

The lantern hanging from its forehead was thrown in front of it and hit the asphalt road in the distance, twitching like a gecko's tail.

It turned around angrily and looked in the direction behind it.

"W-What do we do? It's looking over here... Mr. Roy?!"

Pochi instinctively wanted to hide behind Roy.

But when she looked back, she saw nothing.
