Chapter 35 Gotta Try

Because of the appearance of Canedras, Fengyuan's vacation was forced to end. Although it had been defeated by Jun Kono, the decision remained unchanged.

At the same time, Takano Jun's training was temporarily stopped, but Zhuxing Tuan still suggested that he stay with Fengyuan.

Of course, Jun Takano pretended not to have heard this suggestion.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to rest, Jun Takano opened the space door and went home.

....................................

At this time, let’s talk about Makuo Kirino, who is looking for Ultraman and searching for traces of monsters in Japan.

Not long ago, based on a legend, Makuo Kirino came to a village in the Hikino Street area of ​​Japan.

The environment here is not as prosperous as Tokyo, but it has its own unique flavor, with clear rivers, lotus ponds full of lotus flowers, and verdant mountains...

As a person who grew up in a corner of the city, Makuo Kirino fell in love with the environment here as soon as he arrived here.

Quiet, beautiful, and... monsters.

According to legend, the monster Ayan-sensei would disguise himself as a soba vendor at night and attack passers-by.

Kirino Makuo came because of him, but found other monsters.

That day, he climbed up to the temple on the mountain of Yanye Street. The temple was not big, with only one big monk and two little monks.

Makuo Kirino learned an ancient legend about Master Ayan from the great monk. He learned more and more details, and at the same time, his suspicion towards the monks increased sharply.

You know, before going up the mountain, Kirino Mufu had already asked the elders in the village, but even those elders who connected the past and the future knew very little about the legend of Master Ayan.

Most of them still respected Master Ayan, but precisely because of this respect for the legend, no one wanted to mention him in the village. Over time, Master Ayan was almost forgotten.

But now, Kirino Makuo heard a very real and detailed ancient legend from the big monk. Combined with the big monk's tone and expression, Kirino Makuo felt like he was a witness.

However, Makuo Kirino was a very careful person. He remained suspicious of monks and stayed in the mountain temple for a long time on the pretext of collecting folk songs.

This time, he really caught a monster.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

The little monk looked anxious; his ears had been changing uncontrollably, with hair growing on them.

Recalling the innocence of the little monks, Kirino Makuo loosened his hands, and the arm-long raccoon cat tail was retracted into the little monk's clothes.

"You are a monster!"

Kirino Makufu did not feel disgusted with the little monk because of this. He still used the same kind tone as before and asked: "Does the host know that you are a monster? Or, are you all monsters?"

The little monk said nothing, huddled in a corner, tears glistening in his eyes.

When he was very young, the monk used stories about Yin-Yang masters and demon catchers to scare him. Now that his true identity has been discovered by humans, he will be skinned and his tendons pulled out.

The temple was very small, and the noise was heard by another young monk. Soon, the big monk came.

Kirino Mufu and the big monk knelt facing each other, and two little monks stared at Kirino Mufu in the corner and whispered to each other.

The monk's expression was calm. He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "It seems that the donor has found someone to collect folk songs from."

Kirino Makuo said: "It is somewhat different from my purpose, but it is also somewhat related."

He looked the monk up and down and couldn't help asking, "Is the abbot also a monster? Is this Yanye Street a monster's territory?"

The monk took a sip of tea, held the cup, and said, "I am indeed a monster, but except for the ocean and the underground, isn't this world all human territory?"

This rhetorical question silenced Kirino Makuo.

The monk said, "If we don't harm people, live here in human form, and occasionally pray for humans, what's the difference between us and humans?"

Kirino Makufu said, "What about Master Ayan? He is a monster that harms people."

"Master Ayan has indeed harmed people. I don't deny that." The elder monk turned his head and glanced at the younger monk, saying, "But if someone wants to kill us, we have no choice but to resist."

"The legend I'm talking about happened hundreds of years ago. During these hundreds of years, Master Ayan rarely appeared in human vision. He liked humans and existence, but he was destined to live in the darkness of the village."

The next morning, Kirino Makufu left with his backpack.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he looked back at the temple on the top of the mountain.

With the invasion of other biological environments by humans, monsters live among humans as a choice for survival.

"Monsters live in the dark, monks stand in the light."

"Master Ayan, can you keep it like this?"

Makuo Kirino is not optimistic about this, because humans will never miss the opportunity for development, and then there will be conflicts between monsters and humans.

Jun Kono and Makuo Kirino met in a noodle shop in the village of Hikino Street. Jun Kono had no impression of the monster that Makuo Kirino mentioned.

The only thought that flashed through his mind was Obike, not Master Ayan.

"The darkness in the village will definitely decrease." Takano Jun pointed to the lights in the noodle shop and said, "Street lights have become a tool for humans to deal with dark roads. No matter how remote the village is, bright street lights will be erected in the end."

Kirino Makufu said naively: "The monster can only retreat into the forest."

"Humans will also dig roads through mountains, fill islands in the sea, and build cities underground. This is a wish that has appeared in the hearts of countless people, and it is also something that human civilization will inevitably experience in the process of development," said Jun Takano.

Kirino Makufu stared straight ahead and said, "That monster can only live and die in the sun."

Takano Jun turned around, glanced at the three monks who were busy eating noodles, slightly turned sideways, and said in a loud voice: "What are you afraid of? Sunlight does not mean death. If you really can't live in the dark, you might as well think about how to live better in the sun."

Kirino Makufu said: "But that is a monster."

"Have you forgotten where this is? This is Japan, there are eight million gods and a hundred demons parade at night."

"Monster, who says that anything with ears and a tail is a monster? I have to say that it's role-playing."

Kono Jun put down his chopsticks and said, "Make this a village full of good monster legends, and combine it with the scenery here. Over time, this will become a unique tourist village."

"By then, the development that's destroying the village might stop, and humans might hold a grand festival here where they play the role of monsters. By then, you and I are both monsters, and you and I are both humans."

pat!

The monk's chopsticks fell on the table.

Takano Jun glanced sideways and said, "Monk, your chopsticks dropped."

The big monk stood up, put his hands together, and bowed to Jun Kono and Makuo Kirino.

Takano Jun smiled and said to Kirino Makufu, "Look, this guy is so stupid from chanting the sutras. I just gave him a reminder, but he is still so respectful."

Kirino Makuo smiled and said, "Is what Mr. Kono said really possible?"

The big monk looked up and his eyes fell on Kono Jun.

A ray of sunlight came through the window and fell on Jun Takano's face, making it glow.

Takano Jun nodded, his eyes revealing anticipation.

"If you don't try, I won't try."

"But if you want to achieve it..."

“You have to try.”
