Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract

Chapter 36 36 – Oni Festival Begin



In the room they stayed at, Kai had dressed handsomely in a black shirt and white tie underneath a black suit. His hair was slicked back and held by gel he had applied beforehand.

On his side was Amber. She wore a red feathery red dress which was slit on one side of her skirt, showing her left thighs hidden by black leggings.

Her shoulders were exposed due to the lack of clothes above her breasts, and her usual golden irises were now blue as Kai forced her to wear soft lenses to hide her identity as a Mythical Beast.

He was a bit anxious that she would invite unnecessary trouble in Oni Village. They bought the dress last night and stopped by the Fushimi Inari Shrine to tell Rena about the invaders and how Kai settled the situation.

The three-tailed humanoid fox was grateful and cried in happiness. She gave them a necklace with a blue fire shape and golden chain, which was currently hanging on Amber's neck, decorating her bare nape.

"How do I look, Kai?" She asked playfully as she spun around, showing off her new dress.

"You look beautiful, Amber." He replied honestly. "But won't that dress stand out too much?"

"Fufufu, don't worry. This much is still okay. You will be surprised by how open the female Devil dresses later if you are surprised by this much."

"Supernatural World is wild." He smiled dryly. What Amber was wearing already exposed a lot of her skin, if not for her leggings.

If even she said that the female Devils dressed more openly than her, that must be really extreme. It seemed like he needed to be careful with his eyes later.

"It is indeed wild. They use their charm to get others' attention, after all. Their method to replenish their Spirit Power is different from ours."

Kai didn't want to know about it. He already had a few guesses based on the fact he heard from Amber just now. It wasn't like he minded their method to replenish their Spirit Power, as their culture must also be different, but he'd hoped that he wouldn't become their target.

'Let's just stick around with Amber all the time and use her as my shield if I get caught in such a situation.' He decided.

The Phoenix girl approached him and took his arm, pushing it between her breasts. "Let's go, Kai. We will be late to the opening speech if we are not going now."

"Yeah."

Kai and Amber went to Mount Oeyama, where the Oni Village was located, on foot. They didn't feel the need to take a taxi as they preferred to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Because they didn't feel tired as easily and were walking fairly fast, they arrived at the Oni Village in just an hour. The hike toward the mountain was what took most of their time.

Some Onis tried to offer them a ride with a traditional rickshaw. Kai was interested, but he refused their kindness regardless.

When he arrived at the Oni Village for the second time, the atmosphere was totally different from before. It was livelier, and he noticed some people from other races walking down the street from afar.

Most of them were blue and red-skinned Oni, but humans and the others were mixed too.

They were all humanoids, with some having animal ears and tails, and then some having a similar appearance to humans if not for their bat wings and demon tail. He assumed them to be Devils. They were few in numbers, but…

'They really dress openly.'

​ Just as Amber had said, the female Devils had almost no shame. Their clothes only hid their private parts. Some wear high boots or leotard-like clothes, but they still expose a lot of their skin and cleavage.

Worst of all, all of them were beautiful and had perfect bodies.

"Woah, it's been 3 decades since I visited the Oni Festival, but it is still as lively as I remembered," Amber exclaimed as she put her hand above her temple to shield her eyes from the sun.

A Mythical Beast's lifetime really couldn't be underestimated. She talked about 3 decades ago as if it was just yesterday. Kai wasn't even born yet at that time.

"There are some Youkais, Devils, and Vampires too. How rare for them to visit the festival. Maybe they plan to socialize more?"

"I don't know. Shall we just enjoy the festival now?"

"Good idea! But first, we need to hear the opening speech from the Oni chief first. Only then the real festival will start."

"Hoo? So that's why all of them walk toward the stage in the central plaza?" Kai asked.

"Yup!" Amber exclaimed. "I bet you will also meet that Oni there."

"Ha-hahaha… I hope he will not seek revenge." He laughed dryly as he began to walk toward the central plaza with Amber; the Phoenix girl still held his arm.

But knowing that certain red Oni's personality, that wasn't impossible. But he had dressed nicely today and wanted to avoid any fight if possible. However, he didn't mind moving a little if necessary.

The Onis still remembered him and greeted him excitedly when he walked past their stores. Most of them were Onis who won the bet, but the ones who lost also respected him because they had seen his strength.

They arrived at the central plaza shortly after, standing among the crowd of Supernatural residents. On Kai's left was a lone female Devil with long black hair, black eyes, and lustrous bat wings. She glanced at him and winked.

He nodded slightly in response, keeping his small smile on his face before turning toward the stage in front of the crowd.

Two familiar red Onis walked onto the stage wearing traditional Japanese garb. Both of them looked serious and made Kai wonder which was their real personality. This one or the battle maniac one from before.

And just as he heard from Robert, Ranga was truly the son of the Oni chief, and Kirimaru himself was a chief. He could only smile wryly when he confirmed it.

Amber's gaze was also confused on the stage, similar to other people's. The Oni Festival was one of the biggest festivals in the Supernatural World that the public could attend. So they were excited and couldn't wait for Kirimaru to officially start it.

The older red Oni stepped forward and spread his arms. His face was full of smiles as his voice rang in the central park.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Thank you for your presence here. I am Kirimaru, the Oni Chief! I have nothing to say, but I am glad of your participation in the 95th Oni Festival! Enjoy the festival to your heart's content! Eat! Fight! Play some games!"

The crowd cheered for Kirimaru's speech. While it had no real substance, his energetic voice infected other people. He made this festival sound like something really fun and shouldn't be missed.

"With that, I declare the start of the 95th Oni Festival!"

Kirimaru raised his hand high, and at the same time, a drumming sound echoed through the area with the shout of the crowd.

But Kai didn't shout anything. As he felt Kirimaru and Ranga gaze planted on him before they left the stage.

'I hope that's just imagination.'
