The youki around their body is strong and I don’t see any slight opening in their defence despite them making weird poses. Xuanzang Sanzang smiles seeing the two of them. It seems as if he’s handling the arrival of naughty brats. Judging from his reaction, this isn’t the only time they came here. “Oh my, if it isn’t the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King. Did you come here for your leisure again?”
Seeing the monk smile, the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King makes a fearless laugh. “Kakaka, today is the last time you can say that to us, Xuanzang!”
“Shishishi, today is the last time you can act so confidently, Xuanzang!”
The two of them make a stance as if they are trying to fight Xuanzang Sanzang. The monkey stands in front of Xuanzang Sanzang, and instead confronted the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King. “I can’t believe it. I never thought I would end up meeting these guys…… What’re you going to do, Vali? Are we gonna fight?”
The monkey asks his leader, but the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King react by making a doubtful expression at Bikou’s appearance. “Hey you, are you related to “Great Sage, Equal of Heaven”? “You’re wrong, brother. This one here is releasing the same ki as the “Great Sage, Equal of Heaven”!”
It seems like they have a grasp of the monkey’s identity. It may be true in terms of them having the same ki. You can say that it’s natural reaction for those who know the first generation Sun Wukong. “Well, it’s not anything to hide about anyway. I’m the Descendent-sama of Sun Wukong.”
The monkey treats himself like a high person as if the shock he received just before didn’t happen. ……He truly is a slick monkey. Like I thought, he’s ranked lowest among us. Vali takes a step forward and asks the two Youkai. “Good timing. Golden Horned King, Silver Horned King, there’s something I want to ask the two of you.”
Maybe they sensed Hakuryuukou’s ki, so the Golden Horned King and Silver Horned King make a serious face. “Mgh, brother. This Dragon doesn’t have an ordinary kind of ki!”
“Yeah, brother. This Dragon is releasing abnormal ki!”
It seems like they grasped hold of the strength of this man called Vali without even fighting. To be expected from a Youkai that appears in a legend. Vali asks without being concerned. “—I’m looking for the mountain that is said to be the place where Prince Nazha appears. I would definitely like you to tell me if you know where it is.”
Yes, Prince Nazha. That is one of the strong foes Vali and all of us here are chasing after. He’s a Buddha that appears in two of the Chinese Four Great Mystery Novels, “Journey to the West” and “Romance of the Investiture of the Gods”. He is a Hero of Battles who wore many Gods armouries and dominated many battles. In terms of battle powers, he is a strong foe who is said to be on par or above the first generation Sun Wukong. We received information that he sometimes descends from Mt Sumeru to appear in the depth of the mountain somewhere in this country. “Kakaka.”
“Shishishi.”
The two Youkai simply looks at each other and laugh fearlessly. We can take it that they may know his whereabouts, but……
Maybe he got enraged at the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King’s laughter, so Bikou makes his stance by making Ruyi Jingu Bang appear. “Well, using force to ask them won’t be a bad idea.”
It really ended up in a situation befitting us. Solving problems by using force. This happens all the time. “……Can we fight against these guys, Monk-sama?”
Bikou confirms with Xuanzang Sanzang just in case. “Yes, observing the strength of Sun Wukong after many years won’t be a bad idea.”
The monk unexpectedly approves it. He has quite the tolerance. I can’t see him as a high monk that tightened the magical headband, every time the first generation Sun Wukong does something bad. Maybe his personality softened back when he was a monk by becoming a Buddha. “Fufufu, then maybe this Kuroka-oneesan should lend Bikou a hand –nya.”
The one who stands beside the monkey is the cat Kuroka. The monkey makes a face as if he finds it boring when he sees that. “Seriously, I will be enough for these guys. Stand back Kuroka. Inside these mists, not only you can't use your senjutsu, but you probably won’t be able to use barely any demonic powers and youjutsu. Unlike your sister, aren’t you bad in hand to hand battle?”
“Nfufu ♪ If I have to, it will be fine as long as I give them my neko-punch –nyan.”
Both the monkey and cat triy to enjoy the battle by having the Youkais that appear in the Four Great Mystery Novels, but……
The Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King simply make a lecherous smile. The two Youkai point at Bikou and Kuroka. “So that one there is Bikou……and the one over here is Kuroka?”
They check their names but……if my memory is correct, that is……
“Ah? What about it?”
“Nya? Are they interested in me –nya?”
These two respond without being cautious. Then Silver Horn King takes out the gourd he has on his hip. Yes, this is—. Then from the tip of his gourd comes out an abnormal whirlpool where the monkey and cat gets sucked in. “Uwah! Shit, this is—.”
“Unyaan! Is this the rumoured gourd! ?”
Because both of them had an opening in their defence, they got sucked into the gourd without being able to do anything—. ……The members here can only make a dumbfounded face at the thing which happened instantly. ……Just how much……of an idiot can they be? If the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King are exactly as the legend says, then they are Youkai that use the Five Treasured Tools they took from Taishang Laojun (The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord). And the one which is exceptionally famous among them is—the Crimson Gourd. It’s a gourd that sucks in those who respond when they have their name called out. Even I, who is from the Norse Mythology, knows this, yet the monkey and the cat responded without being cautious. ……If they had used their actual strength, they could have fought without ending up in this situation. Like I thought, the monkey and the cat are fools. Now we get back to the beginning of the story…… Now, the two fools got sucked in, so how should we take on the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King? It’s appropriate to wait for Vali’s orders who happens to be our leader. Arthur makes the Holy King Sword Collbrande appear from a different dimension. It’s a holy-sword that is wrapped by a quiet wave of force. And the rich aura it has is still active within these mists, and it certainly shows that it really is the ultimate among the holy-swords. “Vali, what shall we do? Should we put rescuing Bikou and Kuroka as the highest priority? Personally, I’m very interested in one of the Five Treasured Tools they have, the Seven Star Sword.”
Arthur gazes towards Golden Horned King’s hip where he has a single sword hanging from it. I hear it has both the ability to crush evil and make Youkai obey them.
