Zongman, daily life starting from hunting the supernatural

"But a good knife needs to be maintained, so I don't think it's too bad."

"At least it looks good."

As he said that, the bartender took out a glass of milk from under the table and pushed it in front of Sakurai.

"Well..."

"It's a thoughtful gesture after all, so don't take it too seriously, Sakurai-san."

"Tadaosai named this sword Aragami Fang, which can be regarded as the last commemoration of the Aragami who fell into the supernatural."

"Of course, Sakurai-san, if you don't like it, you can change your name."

He also took a sip of milk and the bartender smiled like a fox.

"No, that's fine. I have no objection."

"That's what I'll call you. Welcome back, my friend...Aragamiya."

As Sakurai called out the name, the flame on Aragami's fangs became brighter.

"As long as you are satisfied, Sakurai-san, our efforts will not be in vain."

As the bartender said this, he took out the last thing.

A black leather jacket and matching dress pants.

"As for the producer, the other party doesn't want to reveal his name, so let's keep it secret for now."

"It is made of spider silk and silk woven into silk thread provided by you, Sakurai-san, and then added with fire rat fur."

“And added some other things.”

The bartender, who made a gesture of the universe with his fingertips, drank milk with a smile.

"Although it can't be said to be invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, it does have considerable defensive capabilities."

"It has defensive capabilities after being attacked, and can automatically repair itself after being damaged."

"If you don't like this style, Sakurai-san, it can change its appearance according to your wishes."

"You'll need to try it yourself, Sakurai-san."

The bartender who said this seemed to have aged a few years.

He has been so busy these days that he hasn't even had time to rest.

I just managed to catch up by working non-stop.

"My abilities are limited, and this is all the help I can provide you."

"Although I know the possibility is not high, I still have to ask, have you really decided, Sakurai-san?"

"What's coming next is very dangerous."

"Need I say more? I'm a person who won't turn back until I hit the wall."

Sakurai responded to the bartender with what he thought was a matter of course.

Things have developed to this point, I can't just say I won't go there.

He prepared for this for three days, and the bartender was so busy and thoughtful that he had no time to rest.

Motorcycles, weapons, and armor.

Whether it is the vehicle relics whose rarity is not much less than that of food relics, or the wild god fangs forged by the swordsmith, or the hunting robe he has in his hand.

Which one can be obtained easily?

Stop joking. People in the normal world may not be able to get even one in ten or eight years, okay?

The bartender took three days to complete the whole process. In this case...

Could he change his mind?

Not to mention that the other party has targeted his people. In this case...

He decided to visit that shrine and kill that big fox.

The remains that fell this time were given to the bartender as a thank you gift for his hard work over the past few days.

Sakurai thought so as he had already regarded the so-called "Fox God" as a first-class supernatural being in his heart.

19. The history of Mikitani Shrine

The bartender was silent and looked at Sakurai deeply.

Today we got to know this close friend again.

He couldn't help but sigh to himself.

"Really? That really sounds like something you would say, Sakurai-san."

"Well, it's true that we are still a little worried."

"But now that you've said that, it's worth all the effort we put into it."

"Brother Sakurai, everything you want is here."

After a moment's silence, the bartender smiled and took out a notebook from the cabinet and handed it to Sakurai.

I took this black notebook, um...

Sakurai looked up at the bartender who was holding the other corner of the notebook with his teeth bared.

"Brother Sakurai, you can guarantee that you will come back alive, right?"

"We don't have many regular customers here. We'd be disappointed if you couldn't come back, Sakurai."

Pinching his face and revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, the bartender asked Sakurai with a sad face.

"Of course, I will come back alive."

Under normal circumstances, Sakurai would not give such an affirmative answer.

Just like when Yotsuya Miko asked him if he could protect her, Sakurai always gave the answer that it was not necessarily the case.

He really doesn't like to take on everything until the end.

but...

This time is an exception.

Even if it was for the sake of profiteers, he was willing to give an answer that he wouldn't normally give.

And work hard for this answer.

Even if there is only one possibility among 14000605 that he will come back alive, he will...

Work hard for it.

Use death to lock this future.

Not to mention, in Sakurai's eyes, he actually...

It's not like there's no chance of winning.

"Although I know that you are trying to comfort me, Sakurai-san."

"But I'm really happy to hear you say that."

"So..."

"I wish you good luck in martial arts."

Patting Sakurai's shoulder, the bartender loosened his grip on the notebook.

Putting the notebook into his shoulder bag, Sakurai changed into his new outfit in front of the bartender. With a slight smile on his face, he turned over and got on the motorcycle, then disappeared in front of the bartender with the roar of the engine.

"So..."

"We need to take a break, too."

Seeing Sakurai disappear, the bartender yawned and closed the door.

Until Sakurai comes back, his izakaya that sells milk will have to suspend business for a while.

Wait, did we see it wrong just now?

Sakurai-san...

Did he laugh?

……

……

Sankitani Shrine is a shrine that appeared on an invisible mountain hundreds of years ago.

In the shrine, there is a fox mountain god who can grant wishes. It is said that as long as you make a wish to him, it will come true.

Correspondingly, as the price for realizing the wish, a sacrifice that can satisfy the Fox Mountain God is required, which is the life of a pure girl.

There is no doubt that a truly orthodox God would not demand such unreasonable sacrifices. The only one who would do so is a [Wild God].

Just like the God of the Wilderness, the [God] on that mountain is, as expected, also [supernatural].

The only difference from the situation of the God of Wilderness is that in the past, the God of Wilderness was indeed a [God], but with the changes of the times, he degenerated into a spirit, while this fox mountain god used his powerful power to occupy the nest and transformed himself into a powerful spirit who was respected as the Lord Mountain God.

This guy is a more formidable enemy than the God of Wilderness.

Looking at the information recorded in the notebook, Sakurai confirmed this.

According to records, during a long famine, foolish people who could not survive took pure girls to the mountains and made a wish at the cost of the girls' lives.

As time passed, an enlightened monk passed by here and discovered the existence of the Fox Mountain God. Unfortunately, even with the monk's magical powers, he was unable to defeat the monstrous demon. Ultimately, he was helpless and set a seal at the cost of his life.

After his death, he mixed his relics and ashes together and scattered them around the mountain, mixed with incense text as a mark.

Eventually, they successfully sealed the fox mountain god in the shrine on the mountain.

Who knows how many years have passed, and with the large-scale arrival of supernatural phenomena in reality, over the long years, the entire mountain has become a large supernatural spot.
