4-30: -B: The Evil That Exorcises Evil (1/6)

Many years have passed since the world was filled with light and the tools of civilization illuminated the darkness.

People would toil day and night, and some would toil precisely because it was night, but regardless, the night would come, and for most, it would be a time for sleep.

That was the case for this common house, home to a family of three, who slept on a bed in a manner akin to the character.

A mundane but happy scene of a little girl sandwiched between her parents.

But a small shadow was shaking the mother, it was the little girl, whod woken up.

W-Wake up, mother, the daughter said.

Mnn, fuaa Whats the matter? the mother said.

Though still sleepy-eyed, the mother turned to her daughter and asked that question amidst her yawn.

The girl made a troubled face as she asked, Mother, dont you want to go to the toilet?

After a moment, the mother realized what she was saying, and she broke into laughter.

Her drowsiness gone, she said. I suppose I do. Do you want to go together?

She took her daughters hand and went to the toilet, then she perfunctorily entered the toilet and went back out quickly, upon which her daughter hurriedly entered the toilet.

Remember, Mom, youre an adult, so you cant leave a child alone!

The child said precociously from the other side of the door, to which the mother agreed, and then laughed.

If shes scared of the dark, she could just say so, the mother muttered..

Im not scared! I just thought you might be scared!

The mom didnt mean for her that remark, but she still heard it.

Her daughter was audibly displeased, but that only made the mothers smile bigger.

Fu fu, unfortunately, your mother isnt afraid of the dark, the mother told her daughter after leaving the toilet.

And then as expected, her daughter made a bitter face and started muttering to herself with her mouth in the shape.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

But youre an adult already, Mother, and youre also much better at spells than I am

Thats why it was only natural for her not to be afraid, her daughter told her with a pout. The mother wryly smiled and lifted her up. Look, she said as she pointed at the room.

!

Then the lights vanished and they were enclosed in darkness.

It was the same familiar house, but it looked so different.

The scenery normally illuminated by day was now covered in a darkness that made it impossible to see ahead.

Something, someone, seemed to be within that darkness, and the girl inadvertently clung to her mother.

The reason youre afraid is because you think theres something in the depths of the darkness. But something that you cant see doesnt exist, so if you cant see anything, theres nothing there.

Really?

Yes, but its normal to be afraid of the darkness, so its nothing to be embarrassed about, but I do wish that you can grow to love the night.

Why? The daughter tilted her head, and the mother chose her words carefully to help her understand.

I mean, when the sun is out, its too bright, and you cant sleep, and also, if you fear the night, you wont know when itll be tomorrow And

Ah, Waa!

Suddenly, the mother showed the daughter the night sky through the window, and the brilliance of the twinkling stars dotted up above drew her voice.

There could be no such sight if they were in the city, but that was not the case here.

Those beautiful stars are actually there too in the day, but the sun is shining so bright that you cant see them.

So we can see them because the sun is sleeping?

Yes. Your mothers job is like that too. Something important that can only be done when no one is looking, involving things that cant be seen unless its dark

As the mother said that, she seemed somewhat apologetic.

She felt that she was being too assertive, and she also felt bad for pushing an inevitable fate onto her daughter, but

I got it, so night is a really gentle person!

Soil, stones, leaves, trees, sea water They gathered them into a swirl.

And in the next moment, humans as many as there were dolls appeared.

Moreover every one of them wore braided hats, a prests garb, and a khakkhara. Yes, they looked just like monks.

They had breath in them, but there was a lack of life that painted them ghastly.

Fortunately or unfortunately, there was no one to witness this.

What is the situation?

It will be ready in 10 minutes.

When one of them spoke in a hoarse voice, the people around answered.

At the end of their eyes was the yet open empty wooden box.

This time for sure, it should be empty already, but there was a slight twist on their lips.

Is Takahisa not done yet?

Hes yet to contact us, but a sign should be given soon.

He may be my grandson, but I must say, he really is careless with time, an old man, who seemed to be the leader of this group, shook his head and sighed.

Theres no choice but to wait, he said, and everyone else nodded.

!

But then the countenance of a certain person, who had been watching over the box, suddenly changed.

Immediately, one of the monks stood in front of the wooden box and swung his khakkhara.

As the sound of metal resounded, a small hole appeared around him along with an arrow that normal people couldnt see.

There!

After deflecting the invisible arrow and realizing from where it had been shot from, the man brought his right index finger and middle finger together, and with them standing up, he moved his arm down.

No way!?

In the next moment, a blade that couldnt be seen by normal people descended, and as the person tumbled out, the big rock behind exploded. Evidently, neither party here was normal.

That person suddenly realized that the sunlight had been obstructed, so she looked up.

Four monks were rushing toward the person with with their sharpened khakkharas.

Prohibition(Kin ())!

An invisible wall was erected almost immediately and invasions were prohibited.

But the khakkharas and the wall released a flash of light akin to lightning, and as the two powers fought, they seemed to reject each other.

Blow away!

The one that erected the wall, a woman, took out a charm from her bosom.

The character for explosion was written on it, and as soon as she plastered it onto the invisible wall, an explosion erupted, and the monks attacking were all blown away.

But despite being blown away along with the dust and the shockwaves, the monks somehow managed to slip away.

Geh, I knew it wouldnt work! The woman said with frustration.

The explosion just now was akin to a self-destruction attack with the protector she was wearing.

But the monks were able to jump away immediately. Their clothes were a bit dirtier now, but clearly, they managed to avoid a direct hit.

An impressive display of Invisibility, but youre still too green. Your fighting spirit stuck out too much, one of the monks said.

That armor is the one used by the students here, but Another monk said.

The woman, no, the girl was wearing a simple exoskeleton that wasnt the slightest bit dirty.

But the group of monks were more suspicious of the girls appearance than her exoskeleton.

Even through the head gear, it was evident that she was not Japanese. That much was clear from her face and her blue eyes.

Yes, the girl was none other than Tomoe Safina of the normal class of 2 B.
