Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 1317: The Strongest Sorcerer Of The Heian Era

-----@@@@

This was all an opportunity I couldn’t waste, to be honest. Even though it was very surprising and out of nowhere, I think Kaguya was trying to tell me that this might happen. But I can’t help but wonder, how did this happen though?

As I sat down over a small cushion in front of a little wooden table, Abe no Seimei simple moved his fingers around, as several little spirits resembling ghostly white foxes appeared, carrying everything for us.

"Oh wow..."

They served us green tea, then brought mochis of various colors and fillings, and lastly rice crackers, all typical Japanese snacks, how delightful!

Can I even eat in this mindscape though?

"Feel free to eat as much as you want," he said with a charming smile. "Oh, were you wondering what these little guys are?" Your next chapter is on novelhall.Côm

He giggled as the little fox spirits flew towards his hands, licking him.

"They are White Fox Shikigami, extensions of my familiar, my cute Tamamo-chan," said Abe no Seimei with a giggle. "Aren’t they cute?"

"T-They kind of are, yes..." I nodded. "I thought they were Spirits."

"Shikigami are something similar to Spirits," he said. "But are also quite different, a mix between Spirits and Yokai. I would say an in-between maybe. They are usually created and don’t occur naturally in the wild most of the time. They are perfect for familiars for us Onmyōji."

"I see..." I nodded. "So, um... I wanted to ask something first? If it’s not too much of a bother..."

"Go ahead," he nodded drinking some tea.

"How did I get here?!" I asked. "I mean, I was going to go to my mindscape and get done with this but now I’m here... Is this some sort of divine realm? Spirit realm? Domain? What is this place?!"

"Hmm, normal human? I wouldn’t say that’s the correct way to talk about me..." he giggled. "I was definitely not your average human. Since birth that I was blessed by Heaven and Earth. Magic and Sorcery, Alchemy, Feng Shui, Astrology, I mastered all these fields seamlessly. My family, who were already a big, famous family of Onmyōji, taught me all as I was born as a great genius! Well, my father married his Kitsune companion, so having a Kitsune mother helped too, perhaps, hahaha!"

Did he say his mother was a Kitsune?!

Suddenly, I noticed that there was a big, fluffy tail dangling behind him.

And beneath his Onmyōji hat, there was some fluffy... white fluff.

So he has ears and tail...

"A-Ahah..." I muttered. "If that were the case though, wouldn’t you have grown to be a very petty and egocentric person, sir? But you’re very humble and nice."

"Oh my, you’re so harsh, but yes I try to be humble and nice, hospitality has always been part of my culture," he giggled. "I’ve gone through... many challenges as well. Some that had made me shed a few tears, dare I say. Life was not easy, genius or not... Having to hide my identity as a Half-Kitsune while trying to survive and protect the people from the most dangerous Era of Japan, the Heian Era, was tough indeed."

"Okay, okay, I understand..."

He really loves talking about himself, doesn’t he? Maybe he has felt so lonely he really just wanted to talk with someone.

I kind of feel bad about him now...

"Um, so how did I end here?" I asked again. "Please answer my question now..."

"A-Ah! My bad, I kind of got myself too distracted talking about my sad past, sniff!" he said. "Now, um... Ah right, of course, it’s because of Kaguya! She made those Soul Orbs for you, no? Her Essence must still be mixed with mine, so the Soul Orbs possessed part of my leftover power she had within her. Hence, you ended here! Haha! Congrats!" he clapped.

"E-Eh?!"
