Groom (4)

Right outside the temple, at the bottom of the stairs was a demon ox cart.

This was one of the famous demons of Japanese folklore, there was even the face that was right in front of the cart.

When it saw us, it said, "About time, let's go already. Time is money."

I couldn't help being shocked seeing this, but Kyoko pinched my hand for me to calm down.

I realized the mistake that I made and forced myself to calm down.

If I was from a small onmyoji family, I should have been used to seeing things like this. I shouldn't be worked up like I had just been.

But after calming down, I still couldn't help asking in a whisper, "Is it really alright for that to be out in the open like this?"

Kyoko said with a nod, "There's a barrier around it so that normal people won't be able to see it."

I couldn't help looking at her with a strange look as I said, "Then how can I see it?"

This time, Kyoko revealed an awkward look.
