Chapter 28 – Gashadokuro

Third person POV

 At lunch break, Taro was reading some books on Japanese mythology and folklore, and he was eager to learn more about them. He must determine to hunt yokai and either enforce rules on them or kill them if they resist. Then, he found a section about the Gashadokuro, a yokai that means starving skeletons in Japanese. He then read that they are immensely powerful bony Japanese monsters several times the size of an average human. He was surprised by their description. "Woah…so scary."

He then kept on reading with deepening curiosity.

 And then, Hoshi, Bokuto, and Saki came to the library.

 "Hey, Taro-kun," one of them greeted.

Taro then looked at them upon hearing that. "Oh, hey, guys."

 "What are you reading?" Bokuto asked.

 "Oh, it's about yokai."

 "Is that so?" Hoshi raised an eyebrow, before peeking at the open books Taro was reading. "That's…"

 "Yes, this is the Gashadokuro, powerful bony Japanese monsters that are impossible to kill," Taro described the said yokai in his own words.

 "What? Impossible to kill?" Saki asked as well.

 "Yes, and it says here…" Taro dived into reading, "…we need a thing called Negative Energy to defeat them."

 "What is that?" Bokuto asked.

Taro then shrugged. "I don't know."

Hoshi and his friends understood that, knowing that Taro only read that recently.

 "That yokai sounds very dangerous," Saki commented.

 Meanwhile, at a restroom, Sha was talking to his master via phone, giving him updates about Kuro's recent activity through Hoshi. It seems that Kuro had barely any activity at all, and Master Demon Blood said that it was okay, reminding him to stay vigilant at all times for Kuro's possible activity in the future.

 "Got it, master," Sha nodded, before ending the phone call.

After that, he went back to his duties as a teacher in the school.

His role as a double agent was slowly getting off-balanced.

At 2:03 p.m., in biology class, Hoshi, Bokuto, and Saki submitted their research paper to their biology teacher, who was then surprised to see that they are very early to submit it than on the day of the deadline. Eventually, she gave them 99 points for their interesting research paper, which they were happy to hear, up to the point of celebration.
