Chapter 4 - Higekiri
Part 1
Shaver was extremely displeased.
He had always been sealed in the warehouse of the Onmyou Academy. Even if he was occasionally brought outside, he was just toyed with by the research and development division. Though his consciousness had almost been in a state of hibernation during the period in which he had been sealed, it had still been unbearably boring. That was why Shaver extremely anticipated the time when his master summoned him.
He wanted blood.
He wanted to tear open the enemy.
Shaver was extremely faithful to his master - Kagami Reiji - in this aspect. Because he was extremely 'greedy'. He had an extremely intense passion for defeating the enemy. He thirsted for battle and for the growth after battle. His master's personality was what Shaver desired. Shaver enjoyed it from the bottom of his heart when he used his strength for his master.
But.
This time, it had already been quite a long time when he returned to his master's side, but Kagami hadn't brought Shaver any good prey. His master hadn't brought him anywhere he could stretch his legs. He just occasionally eliminated a spiritual disaster, all weak little spiritual disasters that were the pinnacle of boring.
Originally, he could have fought with that Ashiya Doman. But he hadn't been told to, even though he waited for a long time. When the Onmyou Academy had been attacked, he had managed to chase after an oni that looked pretty strong, but they had been summoned back partway. In the end, even Ashiya Doman himself had been stolen away by someone else. It seemed that his master felt extremely satisfied about that opponent being still alive, but he didn't plan on fighting him at all. What was going on? It shouldn't be like this, right?
Shaver was extremely displeased.
Moreover, he was extremely restless.
At the start, he had grumbled complaints to his master, but recently he hadn't even been complaining. He hadn't given up, he was just tired. Shaver no longer even had the energy to express himself to his master. All he could do was give off a gloomy attitude to convey his displeasure.
Meaningless. Meaningless.
So boring. So boring.
The order he had received today was the same. To think he was guarding children. It wasn't like an order his master would give at all. Though he had said Ashiya Doman would probably show up, Shaver wouldn't be fooled again this time. No matter what, Ashiya Doman had already been defeated by someone else. He didn't know whether those Twin-Horned Syndicate people would come or not or whether he could expect much out of them.
But, Shaver was Kagami's shikigami. He had to obey his master's instructions.
Hence, Shaver could only endure, stifle his emotions, and mechanically do his duty.
But what was surprising was the kid that he had to protect, along with the ones surrounding him.
Shaver felt an extremely rare air from the human named Tsuchimikado Natsume. He had always been thinking about what exactly it was, but after a long time he had finally thought of it.
It was probably a dragon. Moreover, it wasn't the manmade kind, it was a true dragon. Shaver had lived for a very long time, but he had only seen true dragons one or two times before. Also, he hadn't fought with a dragon at all before. Curiosity burned in Shaver's heart. What kind of things were dragons? And how would it 'taste' to battle with one?
