I Was Reincarnated in a Modern Day Onmyoji Family Chapter 6: Old tale

"Co on, Saint. I'll read you a picture book."

At night, the mother reads to in a room gently lit by anachronistic lanterns.

It's the sa story every night for the past few days.

"Once upon a ti, in a certain place, there was born the founder of the Kyobe family, Momiji-sama. Born the son of a farr, he was a very good boy who ate well, learned well, and worked hard."

The content is highly educational. This is not surprising since it is a picture book for children.

But it is interesting to note that the path of this education is a straight line of Onmyoji.

"One day, while he was plowing his family's field, a yokai ran out from deep in the forest. He and his family rushed to escape, and his younger sister fell down in front of him. For the sake of his sister, who had failed to escape, Momiji-sama confronted the yokai."

It is reckless by any asure.

It seems that the yokai is a powerful enemy that even an Onmyoji cannot defeat so easily.

I understand not wanting to leave his sister to die, but standing there without a counterasure will only result in one more dead body.

Well, children's picture books are not required to have such sense of reality.

"At that mont when the yokai attacked, Momiji-sama wrote the formation in his head to the ground and shouted. "I, the one who feeds on spiritual power and seeks to make a connection with the other world. Answer my call and lend your power!" Then the formation glowed and a dragon erged from the swirl of light."

It is doubtful that he really called the dragon. I suspect it is quite a stretch.

I, a dirty adult at heart, could not honestly be impressed by this story.

Nevertheless, there must have been similar events. As the founder, Momiji-sama must have had trendous talent.

Now, this story tells the beginning of our Kyobe family in a very clear way.

From a peasant to a skilled Onmyoji in a generation, he quickly rose to the top and lived happily ever after with a beautiful wife. The end.

In summary, here's what we have.

Unlike picture books sold on the market, these are handmade items handed down in the family.

Enlightennt about Onmyoji is mixed in here and there, and the will of the parents that Onmyoji is cool and that you should study hard is intervening.

It's pretty shabby, the pictures are old, and you can guess that they had a hard ti raising their children in the past.

"Yes, that's it for today. It's ti for bedti. I'm going to turn off the light."

With that, she turns off the lanterns and gets into the futon next to .

There is no shitty father.

The day after he perford that ritual, he went back to work or sothing.

For so ti now, I've been living alone with my mother.

Apparently, he is working overnight and is not able to co ho.

A little bit of a monopoly. Hell yeah.

Well, if I rember that I used to be a company stockbreeder, I can't help but feel a little sympathy for him.

The mother is also asleep, and they reappear in the bedroom, where she has fallen asleep.

They show up during the day and co near my mouth when I'm sleeping. However, they don't touch in front of my mother when she is watching.

They are probably targeting only frail beings like babies.

Now the creepy maggots and winged insects are coming closer.

In all likelihood, it had sothing to do with the onigiri rice balls father made eat during that ritual.

I suspect that the winged insects are breeding sowhere in this building, just as the eggs were planted in the rice balls, I presu.

These days, insects appear more often than humans. I can only imagine that.

But this is the situation one would hope for.

Considering the fact that I was fed a mysterious creature in a ritual, I think it is vital for to train my spiritual power as an Onmyoji. Like muscle training for athletes.

And that ritual increased my spiritual power considerably. I was so strong that no wonder beings that entered through my mouth could beat .

If this happens, it would be gratifying to have the food co to on its own.

"Ahh (Pfft, you can be the foundation of my supremacy)."

This is exactly the kind of growth cheat that only reincarnated people can undertake.

Actively accepting wonder organisms into my mouth, I consciously digest and absorb them

If I work hard now, I am sure I can beco a promising Onmyoji in the future.

Not knowing what happens if you lose is a little scary, but you can't get a return without taking a risk.

To beco a celebrity, I had to fight against this unpleasant sensation again today.
