Hiro watched the patrons of the pub, making sure everything was in order as the clock struck five. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful until he heard the sound of bells and clanging in the distance. Hiro went to the door and looked around, seeing a group of people with candles and a coffin. They were heading towards the cemetery.
As they opened the gates of the cemetery, Hiro remembered his father talking about funeral rites. He watched as they marched slowly inside, and then he lost sight of them. Hiro turned around and focused back on his work, but about half an hour later, he heard screaming. A bunch of people from the funeral procession ran by the pub.
Hiro stopped one of the men and asked what was wrong. The man said it was a demon - a Nigiriashi. Hiro had never heard of it before, and the man explained that it was a very pale child with another child growing out of its mouth and morphed into some inhuman mass and started terrorizing the mourners.
Without hesitation, Hiro ran to the cemetery. He ran into the Nigiriashi, which stared at him with its cold black eyes. Hiro pulled out his sword, and the demon started backing up toward the funeral pile that was already lit.
Hiro started spinning his swords towards the demon and swung, chopping its head off. The demon screamed and turned into black smoke, disappearing into the air. Hiro breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had saved the day once again.
As Hiro looked around, he noticed that the cemetery was eerily quiet. It was clear that the Nigiriashi had caused a lot of damage, but it didn't seem to be physical. Hiro wondered what kind of damage a demon like this could do that wasn't immediately visible.
Hiro approached the man who had told him about the demon and asked him if he knew anything more. The man explained that the Nigiriashi was a demon born from the hatred and envy of mistreated children. It was said that the demon would possess children and use them to exact revenge on their parents.
Hiro was horrified by this information. He knew that he had to do something to prevent the demon from causing any more harm. He decided to go to the local temple and ask the priests for their help.
The priests listened to Hiro's story and agreed to perform a purification ritual in the cemetery to rid it of any lingering evil spirits. Hiro felt relieved knowing that the situation was being taken care of.
As he left the cemetery, he couldn't help but think about the children who had been possessed by the demon. He wondered what had driven them to such extreme measures and vowed to do his best to prevent such tragedies from happening in the future.
Hiro returned to the pub, feeling drained from the day's events. He sat down at the bar and ordered a drink, reflecting on the importance of staying vigilant against the forces of evil. He knew that there would always be more demons to fight, but he was ready for whatever challenges lay ahead.
Hiro sat at the bar, nursing his drink and lost in thought. He had been contemplating the mysteries of the universe, wondering what else was out there beyond the realm of human knowledge.
As he sat there, lost in his musings, Akio walked up to the bar and greeted him. "Hey, Hiro. How's it going?"
Hiro turned to face him and replied, "I'm doing alright. But I had an interesting encounter at the cemetery earlier today."
Akio raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "What happened?"
Hiro took a sip of his drink before continuing. "Well, while you were down in the basement doing inventory, there was a funeral procession that went by. Not long after that, they ran back past screaming."
Akio looked concerned. "Why were they screaming?"
Hiro took a deep breath before continuing. "After a crowd of people went by screaming, I stopped one of the men from the funeral procession. He told me that there was a demon, a Nigiriashi, in the cemetery."
Akio's eyes widened in shock. "A Nigiriashi? I've heard of those before. They're incredibly dangerous."
Hiro nodded. "I didn't know exactly what he was talking about, so I ran to the cemetery. Not too far from the funeral pile, I saw this child with cold black eyes and another part of another child growing out of its mouth."
Akio shuddered at the thought. "That's horrifying."I tightened my grip on my sword. "I pulled out my sword and started swinging it. The thing started walking backward toward the burning funeral pile, and I swung my sword toward its head. When I cut into it, chopping its head off, it screamed and turned into black smoke and disappeared."Akio looked at Hiro with a mix of awe and fear. "You're lucky to be alive. Nigiriashi demons are incredibly powerful and difficult to defeat."
Hiro nodded, his mind still reeling from the encounter. "I know. I never want to encounter one again."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKF52JQnp2
As they sat there in silence, both lost in their thoughts, Hiro couldn't shake the feeling that there was still so much out there that he didn't understand. He wondered what other horrors awaited him in the darkness, and whether he would be strong enough to face them.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEsqgBl4YL
