Yokai Dictionary
Episode 1: Monster Exterminator ※Warning: Ghost Photos※
As I ran to the entrance of the park, a message flashed through my mind.
I found myself running away quite often because the fear I felt when I saw those monsters was separate from their inability to harm me.
I believe everyone knows how scary visual horror can be.
YOU
“Oh, but I got a message telling me not to miss it this time...”
The Lord was smarter than we thought, and when he gave us tasks, he would send messages using a Yokai Dictionary in the form of a smartphone.
Since there is no proper name, I just call it Yo-kai Watch.
If a cartoon came to mind, you are my comrade.
뷔
“Go, Kim00!! You can do it!!”
YOU
“You crazy raccoon! You said you were my guardian angel!!”
뷔
“Huh, huh! I’m pissed because you called me a crazy raccoon! You go alone!”
That damn raccoon!!
I glared at the guy who was just scared and turned his back on me, pretending to be offended by what I said, and then quickly turned my gaze towards the handshake.
However, as I turned my head to look around at the guy who had disappeared somewhere in the meantime and was nowhere to be seen, the sound of a baby crying from above my head made V and I stop nodding our heads as if we had planned it.
No, it would be more accurate to say that my body became stiff and I couldn't move.
-Ugh
YOU
“Whoa, fuck!!!!”
뷔
“This is crazy!!!”
V and I slowly raised our heads and looked up, and without saying a word, we hurled foul language and extended our fists, blowing away the handshake.
But the raccoon's short arms couldn't reach me, and the guy who was hit only by my fist fell to the ground with a baby-like cry.
Hearing the crying made me feel like I was abusing the baby, but I decided to be strong.
I was scared and trembling until just now, but the first time is scary, the second time is easy.
뷔
“You can’t beat me anyway, and you’re so good at hitting me, so why do you always put me in the lead?”
YOU
“Have you ever taken the lead?! I’m still a minor, 18 years old?! Even if I know that kid can’t attack me, I’m still scared because of his looks!!
After checking to see if the fallen guy had passed out, V climbed on top of him and started hitting me.
Ignoring the raccoon that was jumping up and down on Aksu's body in response to my rebuttal, I took my Yo-kai Watch out of my pocket and clicked on the Hell Gate icon.
As the app launched, a red fog rose from the ground, and then the ground split open and a large red door appeared.
뷔
“It’s a scary door no matter when I see it.”
As soon as the door opened, I stroked V's forehead as he climbed onto my shoulder.
Soon the door opened and black hands stretched out to take back the handshake.
The reason why the handshake couldn't hurt me, why I was able to subdue the handshake in one blow when I was scared and trying to run away, was very simple.
Because my soul is the reincarnation of one with immense divinity.
The problem is that since they don't know how to handle the divine, they can only deal with it by directly contacting the monster.
It is definitely not easy for someone as timid as me to approach.
뷔
“Ha, after working, I want to eat some cream puffs.”
YOU
“?? I did the work alone?”
뷔
“Q?”
“...like a shameless pig and raccoon.”
No matter what, the raccoon was cute. Damn it!
So my wallet was emptied by a cream puff bread again.
주신
-V, the guardian deity of the shamans, answer the call of the god.
뷔
“...If you do it later, won’t you come?”
As I was eating the cream puff bread I bought by emptying 00's wallet, I suddenly received a message from Jushin.
Shin let out a long sigh as he watched V answer with a muffled voice, his mouth already full of cream puffs.
주신
-...Restore your original form.
At Joo Shin's words, V wiped the cream off his lips and, with a "bang!", released his transformation.
Then, a tall, handsome man with round, slightly downturned eyes and red lips appeared where V had been.
뷔
“What’s wrong? God always contacts me only when 00 is not around.”
주신
-...I heard you handled the handshake today.
뷔
"Oh, that? This kid's punching power is getting stronger by the day. I told you it's no joke."
주신
-And that kid handled it himself?
뷔
“Then who will do it?”
주신
-...What the hell are you doing? Have you forgotten why I put you next to that kid?!
뷔
“You said that to protect me.”
Vee Jushin frowned and sighed as he answered confidently.
Seeing him like that, Jushin was troubled by V's shameless shoulder shrugging behavior, wondering if she had chosen him 18 years ago.
주신
"Don't forget your duty. Don't forget the grace I gave you, transforming you from a lowly monster into a guardian deity. All I ask of you is that child's safety."
The god who said that turned into smoke and disappeared.
Then, with a bang, V returned to his cute raccoon form.
뷔
“Yes, yes. Is there any question~”
