Chapter 289: Amulet from a Friend
Chapter 289 Amulet from a Friend
To be honest, this guy named Chen Chu is really irritating, I really want to beat him up!
Listening to Chen Chu's words with a smile, Tahara Hideki's fists hardened, and he tried hard to endure it: "I'm sorry, Chen Chu, I have something to talk to this Miss Higa Makoto alone. Can you please step aside?"
Son?"
"all right."
Chen Chu moved directly to the last seat at the bar.
After practicing the inner alchemy technique, his five senses are no longer what they used to be. Even if he sits in the booth inside and concentrates a little, he can still hear the content.
With the deafening music and all kinds of bangs, Tahara Hideki felt that his head was going to explode at any time, and he endured the discomfort as he talked about what happened at home.
Higa Makoto was silent for a moment: "Please give me your hand."
She grabbed Tahara Hideki's hand and felt for a moment: "Well, something is indeed entangled with you. It's the Pomo Demon. It's actually it..."
Tahara Hideki's face changed drastically. He had heard this name when he was a child and lived in the home of his critically ill grandfather. It was a sunny afternoon. His grandfather was lying down and playing when suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was a very gentle person.
A woman's voice first called her grandfather's name, and then her grandmother's name. The knocking on the door was very rapid, giving people an uneasy feeling.
He was really frightened that day. Grandpa, who was originally too ill to speak, miraculously roared and made the knocking on the door go away.
But there were two bloody palm prints left on the door glass, and there were big green caterpillars on the tatami mats and plant leaves at home.
Grandpa said that one is called the Pomo Demon...
It's a famous legend in their area K, Mie Prefecture...
At this moment, Tahara Hideki recalled his grandfather's face. He was lying on the bed, his hands were like dead branches, his face was haggard, gray, and his eye sockets were sunken, like a skeleton covered with a layer of skin. There was an oxygen tube inserted in the nostril! Oxygen tube? Oxygen
Tube!!
He felt cold all over, and distant memories came out from the depths. His face was as pale as paper, and his shoulders kept shaking.
Higa Makoto's voice pulled him out of his memories, and he was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of water. Higa Makoto's big eyes looked at him faintly: "To ordinary people, the Pole Demon is not that scary, as long as
Just do two things. First, if it talks to you, don't respond to it..."
Tahara Hideki hurriedly said: "The second point?"
Higa Kotoko let go of his hand and grabbed her hair: "That's it..." She raised her head and glanced at Tsuda Daigo and her boyfriend Nozaki Kazuhiro: "Can you two please step aside for a while?"
Wait until the two of them walk out of the bar.
She then said: "The second point is to be nice to your family, so that the Pomo Demon has no reason to find trouble."
The flesh on Tahara Hideki's face trembled. He stood up and glared at Higa Makoto: "So you mean, I attracted the Pozamo because I was not good to my family? You know that I have sacrificed everything for that family.
What, why do you think that because of a mere evil spirit, you think it’s the reason why I’m bad!”
His voice was loud and very exciting, and he immediately attracted several big men in suits and leather shoes to come over.
The big men put out their hands and pressed Tahara Hideki's shoulders: "I said... Isn't it a bit too much for you to speak like this to our Higa-san? Apologize immediately! Otherwise hehehehe!"
The knuckles of his fists made a cracking sound, and the threat seemed real.
"sorry!"
Tahara Hideki bowed at 90 degrees and apologized. Seeing the big man let go of his hand on his shoulder, he lowered his head and left the bar quickly.
Higa Makoto looked apologetic: "I've caused you trouble again."
The big men waved their hands quickly: "It's just a little effort. Compared to your efforts and help, eldest sister, we can't repay you! We only have this kind of force to deal with ordinary people."
Chen Chu moved back.
He smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be a big sister in the bar."
Higa Makoto scratched his cheek with his index finger: "It's all a joke. I just happened to help his family exorcise evil spirits. However, you are about to become famous in the exorcist circle.
I had never heard of the name before. The first thing that came up was the sealing of the eight-foot girl. This matter has gone viral in the circle. My sister also knows about this matter, and she has a new judgment on your strength.
.Next, I am afraid that many exorcists will come to make friends with you, please you, hoping to gain your friendship, so that they can have more protection in the future exorcism dangers..."
So that’s it.
Outside the bar, Tahara Hideki was furious.
He kicked a small stone away from the ground, clenched his fists, and glared at Nozaki Kazuhiro: "What kind of exorcist are you talking about telling me to treat my family well?
I write down everything I do every day on my blog, so it’s clear at a glance. Why should she deny my efforts? Just pretending to be sensitive for a while? I really shouldn’t come to this place... let’s go!”
Tsuda Daigo followed Tahara Hideki and left. Nozaki and Kojo were confused. They turned around and entered the bar and saw Higa Makoto wiping the cocktail shaker.
Before he could ask any questions, Higa Makoto stuck out his tongue and said, "Sorry, I'm not very good at talking. You are familiar with this kind of thing called Pozamo. It only targets families with unfortunate children.
So I told him to be nice to his family, and he got angry..."
Nozaki Kazuhiro is a smart man. He understood and sat on the chair: "Have a drink of this bar's signature 'Stranger'. I am not a local, so this kind of drink should fit well."
Higa Makoto looked at Chen Si: "Would you like a drink too? You are not even from our country."
"Can."
Not only am I not from your country, I am not even from this world. I didn’t expect that.
…………
In Tsuda Daigo's car, he was driving, and Tahara Hideki, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was chattering about what just happened. Tsuda Daigo looked at the road ahead, with a faint smile on his lips...
Tahara Hideki's anger was transferred to Chen Chu: "That guy, in the bar, the stinky security guard tried to harm me, but the new guy in the company was obviously there but did nothing. He is an ungrateful bastard! I shouldn't let this guy go to the afternoon tea that day
My family is wasting snacks and tea!”
Tsuda Daigo took out a white sword-shaped amulet from the sun visor and handed it to Tahara Hideki: "Take this with you. I got it from Seimei Shrine. I heard it is very useful."
Tahara Hideki observed the talisman in his hand. This kind of talisman folded into a sword shape is also very common and is usually enshrined in the home.
The edge of the sword tip in front of him was a bit dark, and the talisman inside was not the usual vermilion but black, but he didn't think much about it. Different sects had different talismans, so it was normal for the talismans to be varied...
After saying thank you, he put the charm into his pocket.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the air conditioner in the car was a bit colder. He looked at the scenery outside through the window. There were faint shadows trailing behind the pedestrians on the road. He rubbed his eyes and could no longer see them.
