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? 

There was also someone else. The human named Ato Touji who was with Tsuchimikado Natsume. 
In contrast, there was no question about that one. Ato Touji's body carried the flavor that Shaver loved most. Oni. Though there was a seal placed in his body, he was probably a so-called living spirit judging from the feel of it. 
But, though he was a partial product, the smell from his body was quite intense. Moreover, Shaver felt it slightly familiar. What kind of oni was the one in his body? It was so interesting. Moreover, Shaver himself was 'hungry'. 
But Kagami had probably thought that Shaver would have this reaction beforehand. He had strictly prohibited Shaver from interacting with the one he was guarding. Thanks to that, Shaver's mood had already worsened to the limit - needless to say, he reluctantly continued doing his duty while suppressing himself from exploding. 
Anyway, it was definitely going to be nothing again. That's what Shaver thought. 
But there was finally activity when the sun had almost set. 
A man came in contact with the one he was guarding, Tsuchimikado Natsume. Though he had said he wasn't in the Twin-Horned Syndicate, that was impossible. He was definitely part of the Twin-Horned Syndicate. 
But, a bit of mischief rose in Shaver's heart. He didn't instantly get rid of that man. Instead, he watched for a bit. 
Maybe Tsuchimikado Natsume would summon the dragon. Maybe Ato Touji would hurry to her and show his living spirit form. In that case, it would be more interesting to let them go a bit out of control. Kagami wouldn't complain about anything as long as he protected them like before in the end. 
Shaver hid himself in a somewhat distant area, silently watching the situation unfold. He almost saw the situation he was anticipating finally happen when that man wanted to take something out. 
But in the end, reality betrayed his expectations. 
That man moved away, his back to Natsume and the others. He just left. Shaver was dejected. 
Tch, whatever. 
He jumped out and cut the man to death. 
After killing the man, Shaver suddenly realized that, ah, it might have been better not to kill him. Maybe Kagami would be mad later. But he wasn't so concerned. In any case, he had always been dissatisfied, and there was no helping killing someone. It looked like he had been enduring for way too long and had already approached his limits. Everything was Kagami Reiji's fault. That's what Shaver thought. 
After dealing with the enemy, Shaver turned his attention to the thing that man had taken out. 
It was a magical tool. Moreover, it was a magical tool that Shaver had never seen. Even if the master died, it still gave off an ominous air. It was dyed with its master's blood, as if waiting for a new master. 
Shaver became interested. 
"......What is this?" 
He walked closer to look carefully. There seemed to be something contained inside the magical tool. 
What exactly was it? 
Shaver slashed at the magical tool out of curiosity.
