Heres the chapter, enjoy~

Part 1

W-why dont you clean it up a little bit? Yuck! Cough!

A mysterious man suddenly appeared.

The man was dressed like a nobleman of the Heian period, something rarely seen in this era. In addition, he was well-dressed and gave the impression of being a good-natured person.

Of course, I was curious about the mans unusual appearance, but what surprised me even more was the fact that he was.

Oh

Hmm? Oh?

A ghooossstt!?

Eeeeehhhh! G-ghost!? Where, where?

Im talking about you, though!

Huh? Me?

I couldnt help but retort to the man who was looking around in fear. Rather than that, the man in front of me had the appearance of a ghost, just like how everyone imagined.

I looked down at the mans feet and saw that he had no feet, and they were thin and transparent.

Even Ouma-san and the others who were watching the exchange between the man and me looked astonished.

Mmm Ive seen insubstantial beings like wraiths before, but they have a certain presence. But I dont feel any presence at all from this ghost

Woof

Fugo?

Pippi!

Night also seems to be puzzled, but Akatsuki and Ciel only twisted their heads curiously and did not seem to be that bothered by it.

Astonishment. Ghosts, theyre real?

Thats amazing! I mean, what is that outfit? I havent seen anyone wearing that since I came to Earth

Hey, Lexia! How can you be so calm?

Eh? Because its Yuuya-samas house, and I was wondering if something like this could happen

Thats true too.

Youre convinced?

Its difficult to be convinced that a startling situation can happen just because its my house, but I cant remain surprised forever.

I called out to the man who was strangely convinced by my tsukkomi.

Well, I am dead, arent I? I inadvertently accidentally

U-um

Hmm? Oh, youre the one that put me on Right! First of all, Im not a ghost! W-well, Im dead, sure. But Im not one of those youkais! Okay? [T/n: I decided to change specter to youkai from this chapter onwards, youkai basically means strange apparition. Since thats too long, so I just decided to use the Japanese word for it, and I think everyone knows about youkai at this point.]

I-Im sorry!

I called out to him, but after his flowing speech, I apologized to him.

But the man seemed satisfied with that and nodded his head.

Umu, well, thats good. So, what is it?

N-no, um I was wondering who you are

When I finally said what I wanted to ask, the man smiled and puffed out his chest.

I am so glad you asked! I am the most powerful sorcerer of the Heian period, Tenjou Kuuya!

The man with the most confident look on his face is named Tenjou Kuuya-san.

Hmm? Tenjou?

When I responded to the unexpected last name, Kuuya-san grinned.

Well, its nice to meet youDescendant.

Eh Eeeeeeeeeeeehhh!

My screams echoed throughout the house.

Muhoo! Modern confectionery is so sweet! Its the best, the best, the best!

Y-yes

After that, I moved to the living room with Kuuya-san in order to calm down and listen to his story.

When I introduced myself again, I prepared some sweets, and he reacted strongly to them. It seems that Kuuya-san is a fan of sweets.

Even now, he is stuffing his mouth full of sweets and looking like a squirrel. Well, you dont have to be in such a hurry, no one is going to take it

Astonishing. Nobody can take that much candy in their mouth.

Thats amazing. Well, if he eats that many sweets, its no wonder hes like that.

Right. However, he is Yuuyas ancestor, isnt he? They dont look much alike

Is that so? I think they have the same airiness about them.

Hmm? When you say it they look completely different, but both of them have this kind of mysterious air that envelops them

Seeing Kuuya-san engrossed in the sweets in front of them, Lexia-san and the others were whispering something to each other, but the content of their conversation did not reach my ears.

Phew~. It was very delicious, wasnt it?

T-thats good to hear.

By the way, I dont see any of my descendants here except for you.

Oh T-thats

I was wondering what to say when Kuuya-sans eyes suddenly flashed with a mysterious light.

It was only for a moment, but I could see it glowed purple as its gaze rested on me.

Hoho I see. Its a pity. How can a child of the same blood not be loved equally?

Huh? H-how can you

I looked at Kuuya-san, who seemed to see through everything I said and did, even though I hadnt told him anything.

However, Kuuya-san stares at me in disbelief at my reaction.

Didnt I tell you? I am the most powerful sorcerer. Compared to destroying a great youkai, seeing through peoples minds is nothing.

Pii!

Thank you all. Im having fun living like this now!

Youre such a good descendant; its hard for me.

I was happy that everyone was being so frank and gentle with me, and as Night and others rubbed up against me, I patted them gently.

Thats nice; I wish I could be petted by Yuuya-sama too!

No, thats Not that thats bad, but

These guys are as if theyre on their last days.

As I was enjoying the feel of Night and the others, I heard Ouma-sans dismayed voice. Whats wrong with him?

Then Kuuya-san, who was watching our exchange, let out a sigh.

Hah you say so, but as for me, I must reflect on what I have done to cause your suffering But then again, its a strange world. As for the Night and your family members, they are exquisitely different from Earths monsters, although their presence may be similar. However, it seems that the dragon there is not so different from the dragon on Earth.

Eh?

What? Are there beings like me in this world?

Kuuya-sans unexpected comment made my eyes widen.

Rather, I wonder how Kuuya-san recognized the existence of the other world, and in addition, that Night and the others came from the other world, when I have not yet properly explained about the other world to him

Maybe he learned about the other world in the same way, just as he has been aware of many things about my situation since a while ago? For example, maybe hes looking at the memories of everyone here Whatever it is, its a tremendous power.

When I thought about that, Kuuya-san nodded like it was nothing.

You dont see dragons in this day and age, but in the past, I saw them aplenty, and I slayed a lot of them.

Eeeehhh!? There were dragons on Earth in the past?

Yes, there were. I am a sorcerer, you know. Besides dragons, I have exterminated most of the famous youkai. Well, Im sure few people in this world know about it, and the ones that do are probably credited to other people, not to me.

Eh? I-is that right?

Hmm? Thats fine. The important thing is the result of exterminating them, and it doesnt matter who exterminated them. Besides, its a dangerous world, and its not for the people to know about it. And I will fight to keep it that way. The fact that no one knows about the danger is a sign of peace. It is a good thing that these stories, which have been passed down to this time, are still being enjoyed as fairy tales.

Seeing Kuuya-san with such a bright and cheerful expression on his face, I felt proud to be his descendant.

As we talked, I remembered that I had a question I wanted to ask him.

Right! Actually, a purple power rose from my body a while ago, and as a result of being guided by it, I touched the scroll and met Kuuya-san Do you have any idea about that purple power?

What are you talking about? Thats the spiritual power, of course.

Is that it?

Well, since knowledge of spiritual power has been lost, its no wonder you dont know how to use it

I did have that feeling from earlier when I saw Kuuya-sans eyes glowing purple from time to time.

However, I just dont understand why this power suddenly became accessible.

Thats exactly what happened when I fought the monster in that alleyway and was that monster a youkai that Kuuya-san was talking about?

Um, actually, I encountered a strange monster today, and when I fought it, I was able to use my spiritual power.

Mm? A monster, you say? Speaking of which, the scroll that sealed this me is now unsealed

Kuuya-san was about to say that much when he seemed to notice something and looked at me with a serious expression on his face.

Wait, what did that monster look like?

Eh? It looked like a child, just about my waist height, with huge claws that it dragged behind it.

Ive never seen a creature like that before.

Come to think of it, you mentioned something like that. Were they really there?

Ouma-san was still skeptical, but Kuuya-san seemed to believe my story and continued without any mischievousness.

There is no doubt about it. Its a demon.

Demon?

Moreover, judging from its appearance, it must be a demon that has escaped from the lower levels of the underworld.

Eh, u-underworld?

The explanation continued one after the other, and my head was confused, but Kuuya-san explained it to me slowly.

First of all, sorcerers like me dealt mainly with demons. A youkai, to put it simply for you, is a being similar to a demon.

I-I see.

The demon is slightly different from the youkai and refers to the soul of a dead creature that has been transformed. Therefore, unlike a youkai, it is already dead.

Eehh?

The souls of dead creatures originally do not emerge from the underworld. Especially the souls that transform into demons are more strictly controlled in the underworld. However, in order to be able to deal with demons should they appear in this world for any reason, I sealed my thoughts in that picture scroll before my death. So that future generations of sorcerers will have no difficulty in exterminating demons.

So

The trigger for Kuuya-san to be released from the scroll was for the scroll to be touched by a person with spiritual power in their body, but it seemed that another condition that needed to be met was for demons to appear in this world.

I see I understand what you said. But the demons you mentioned earlier have already been defeated by Yuuya, right?

Yes! Yuuya-sama defeated it in a cool way!

If that is the only demon that appeared in this world, that would be fine. But thats not the case, is it?

Thats

From what Ive heard from Sawada-sensei and Yukine, it seems that strange phenomena are occurring in various places, and when I think about it, I cant believe that the demons are just that one.

However, Ouma-san, who had not seen any demons, sniffed in a bored manner.

Hmph. No matter how many of them appear, Im going to wipe them out.

Not so fast. I told you, didnt I? I told you that demons are already dead. I ask you, can you make a dead person disappear?

T-thats

That is where a sorcerer like me comes in. With the spiritual power that resides in Yuuya and me or another kind of power, it is possible to interfere with the demons of the dead.

I see.

As I was convinced by Kuuya-sans words, Kuuya-san gathered the spiritual power in his eyes and looked at me again.

Fumu you seem to have suddenly released your spiritual power, but you still cant manipulate it as you wish, can you?

T-thats right.

I answered, and Kuuya-san laughed and puffed out his chest.

Dont worry! You have me here with you! I will raise Yuuya to be a great sorcerer!

Eeeeeehh!

Before I knew it, it was decided that I would become a sorcerer, and this was how it was decided that I was to learn about spiritual powers from Kuuya-san.
