The bright moon is shining high, and the wine is in my belly.

Jun Takano and Obik sat looking at each other. There was a small table in the middle with some home-cooked dishes on it.

Kirino Makoto, who had eaten a lot of snacks, sat helplessly aside, his eyes passing over the dishes, and he patted his swollen belly bitterly.

He said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have eaten snacks."

Takano Jun said while eating the food: "What is in your shadow?"

Obik said: "That's my partner Shadow Mage."

Said to be a partner, he is actually another Obik, the Obik in the dark.

"You came to me because of the tourist village I mentioned," Takano Jun said.

"Yes, I am very curious about the village you described, as if you have really seen such a village."

There was a look of reminiscence in Obik's eyes, and he said: "The previous villages were also villages with monster characteristics, but humans have never accepted monsters."

"The previous village will never come back. Whether it is the development of humans or the relocation of monsters, this place will never go backwards, but will only continue to move forward."

Jun Takano said bluntly: "Whether it's a human being or a monster, if you really want to continue living here and retain the most basic characteristics of the village, then change it."

"Change the villagers' fear of monsters, change the monsters' hatred of humans, and change your habit of not wanting to live in the sun."

Obik was a little silent.

A monster that has lived for hundreds of years and still leaves behind legends. Is he, Master Ayan, really a fool? Doesn’t he know the benefits of change?

No, he knows all this.

But he is extremely stubborn. He is not as stubborn as a monster, but more like a stubborn donkey who never looks back until he hits the wall.

Over the course of a hundred years, Obik has never given up his observation of human beings. He has seen all the changes in human beings, but he prefers this village with extremely slight changes.

Master Ayan, the great demon with terrifying power, is just a frog unwilling to jump out of this land, a fish unwilling to leave the water of the lotus root pond, and unwilling to loosen the bluestone of the ancient bridge.

He remains unchanged, but he doesn't want other monsters to stay the same.

"Change may not work," Obik said.

Takano Jun said: "It will be useless if you don't change."

"You are worried that change is useless, and he thinks change is not good, so what are you doing here now?"

"You waited for me for a long time and cooked a table of dishes. Do you just want to hear me tell you not to change and wait to die?"

Seeing Obik's eyes dazed and his shadow rolling uneasily, Takano Jun said loudly: "Since you are here, since you have listened to me till now, Master Ayan, don't you still understand? Your heartfelt desire Change."

"You want to see the fish and shrimps playing in the lotus root pond, the children climbing trees to steal fruits, and the little demons living a stable life. In that case, then use all your abilities and your wisdom to try to build a village where humans and demons coexist."

Obik left, forgetting the noodle stall when he left. Fortunately, his partner Shadow Mage did not forget.

In the mountains next to Hikoye Street, Obik sat on a stone and looked at the dark village below the mountain. He watched it grow from a small village to a large village with his own eyes. He also participated in the construction project of the village.

The people of the past have disappeared, leaving only a quaint village.

Now that the fruits of human civilization have been pushed here, he still wants to retain the appearance of this village and the only silent darkness.

The shadow mage walked out of the shadow and sat next to Obik.

"The little monk and the others like their current life very much."

"Other monsters are not as lucky as them, and they still live in fear in the mountains."

Shadow Mage's whole body is black, just like the shadow in his name, and his expression cannot be seen.

"You know, the temple can only accommodate a few monsters at most."

Obike came back to his senses from the village in his memory and looked at the shadow mage who looked very similar to him.

"But they may not like human life."

Shadow Mage shook his head: "You are not them, how do you know what they think?"

Obik raised his head slightly and looked at the bright moon in the sky: "I am the great demon, the only great demon in Hikoye Street. According to the previous saying, I am their king. Every choice I make should take into account all the demons in Hikoye Street."

."

There was a light called responsibility in his eyes, and a heavy voice sounded in his mouth.

"The changes in the village don't mean much to you and me, but to them, it is something that affects their entire lives."

"Since I am a great demon, I should shoulder the responsibility of a king."

Shadow Mage stood up and looked at his partner.

This gentle monster has never regarded himself as the king of monsters. He never thought that his first title of king would be because of the development path of the village.

"So, my king, is your choice not to interfere with humans' transformation of the village?"

"No!"

Obike revealed his determination when he said:

"For the monsters and the village."

"I want to exercise my royal rights."

"All the monsters in Hikoye Street must try their best to leave their kindness in the village."

"For future generations of monsters, we must get used to bathing in the rays of the sun and build villages with monster characteristics."

"Until we die of old age."

"Until the day when humans fully accept monsters."

Not far from Obik, the big monk and the little monk received Obik's consciousness of calling himself the king, and at the same time they also heard his first order as the king.

The eyes of the little monks burst out with light, and they looked at the big monk.

"Can we really have fun with the village?"

The great monk clasped his hands together.

"Yes, there will be a day."

"That gentleman said it at that time."

"You and I are both monsters, and you and I are both humans."

…………………………

Kirino Makoto asked.

"Will Master Ayan do that?"

Takano Jun nodded and looked at the darkness in the mountain.

"Yes."

"He is a wise great demon, Master Ayan who is passed down by the demons word of mouth."

He is also Obik who fell into the village in his memory!

The young Kirino Makoto didn't quite understand Takano Jun's words.

He thought of the young and old monks in the temple, and with a hint of hope, he said: "I will come back again and play monsters in the village with the young monks."

At night, Jun Takano and Makoto Kirino stepped into the dim light of the street lamp.

"Mr. Takano, are there any kind monsters in the world?"

"Yes, I have."

"Are there any kind-hearted cosmic beings in the world?"

"Yes, I have."

"Then when can I see them?"

"Aren't you on your journey to find them now?"

……………………

Master Ayan's order spread among the monsters, and the monsters in the mountains approached the village under the moonlight, their eyes shining with desire.

The sun rises under the morning light.

Obike stood in front of the monsters. He was not big and thin, but he was the most terrifying monster.

But even so, he felt a little uncomfortable standing in the sun for the first time.

"I am the Young Master Ayan you call me."

"The king of monsters in Hikono Street, Obik."

The powerful power was in Obik's hands, and the darkness in his body was dispersed.

"Today, I will step out of the darkness into the sunshine."

His bald head glowed in the sun, and his face instantly took on a human expression.

The dark-faced Shadow Mage appeared pushing the noodle stall.

“Welcome to my A-Yan noodle stall!”

The demons were stunned.
