Chapter 1043: 622. Mixed into it

In Japanese legend, the time at five o’clock in the afternoon is generally known as The Witching Hour, but if you want to be more precise, The Witching Hour actually refers to the transition between day and night, which is twilight and dawn.

There are many legends about demons and monsters in Japan, and locals believe that daytime belongs to humans, while nighttime belongs to demons and monsters. When night and day alternate, and Yin and Yang overlap, those demons unseen during the day will appear.

These two periods are also the times when “seeing ghosts” is most likely.

However, at twilight, the demons and monsters are just getting ready to party, so the chances of “seeing ghosts” are much higher, while at dawn, the demons are busy returning home and preparing to disperse, so the likelihood of “seeing ghosts” is much lower.

The revelry of the demons often lasts from dusk on the first day to dawn of the second day, a whole night, which is why this time is often the busiest for exorcists and onmyoji.

Among these demon revelries, the grandest is the Night Parade of Hyakki.

In legend, people often have a fleeting vision of an originally empty road suddenly becoming bustling, with countless strange beings wearing all sorts of grotesque masks, parading down the street seemingly like a festival procession.

This is the Night Parade of Hyakki.

Of course, these concepts were knowledge Dorothy had in her previous life. Though the Japan she is in now has some connection with the Rippon Province of her past life, ultimately, it’s neither here nor there.

This is the Witch World, also a magic world.

Mortals may fear demons, but the Japanese Witches here can, strictly speaking, be considered demons themselves, as the evolutionary templates for witches here are basically all kinds of ghosts and monsters from legends.

For example, the Fiendish Courtesan Dorothy saw earlier evolved her form based on the evil ghosts from Japanese demon legends.

Naturally, witches are not afraid of any demons; rather, it is the demons who fear the witches, afraid of being captured by them as research material.

Furthermore, this is the Witch World—magical beasts, demons, and evil gods are quite common, but genuine demons? Those are rare.

So….

“Tsk, are these guys performing some kind of performance art? Or is this a cosplay convention? It actually looks pretty fun.”

Dorothy carefully identified the long line of lights heading toward them. After the initial shock, she realized that it was not any Demon Hundred Spirits, but could only be considered Witch Hundred Spirits.

Although those guys indeed looked quite bizarre and strange, if you carefully discerned the aura surrounding them, you’d discover that the so-called demonic aura was essentially magic power, and most of those bizarre-looking monsters actually bore traces of Transformation Magic.

A Otherworld fan gathering?

The homebody witch suddenly had this thought pop into her mind, which she found surprisingly fitting.

Well, what else could you expect from Japan? Even in another world, it’s still so anime-like.

Dorothy suddenly became a bit interested. After all, a homebody can’t resist the allure of such an intriguing exhibition.

“Senior sister, it seems these guys aren’t coming for me but are holding a celebration.”

Audrey beside her also carefully observed the strange-looking procession in the distance and speculated.

That wasn’t hard to guess. Although the Hundred-Sprite procession in the distance looked bizarre, it didn’t carry any malice. In fact, it looked quite joyous; many of the Hyakki Witches were singing and dancing, and many held food boxes and wine.

This atmosphere obviously indicated they were preparing to hold a banquet.

As for why they were heading in Dorothy and the others’ direction, it seemed entirely coincidental. Who told them to camp halfway up the mountain? Others had to pass here to reach the mountaintop.

“Should we avoid them first, my lady? They have numbers and strength, it might be better for us not to take risks.”

Sophia also looked at their young lady and suggested.

Although those Hyakki Witches each had strange appearances, the overwhelming demonic (magical) aura they gathered was a testament to their toughness. The procession of over a hundred had many powerful individuals, including many great witches, and even some with what appeared to be title-level sorceress powers; not something the three of them could casually provoke.

In this unfamiliar land, the Pure White Witch felt that it was better not to stir trouble, as it’s better to have less trouble.

Moreover, Lord Bai Wuchang also mentioned before, to take care of the young lady and keep her from getting involved in any mishaps again. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

“Yeah, yeah, Senior Sister, I also think what the Chairman said makes sense. We should hide for now.”

As soon as Audrey saw so many people in the distance, her social anxiety kicked in, and she nodded vigorously in agreement with Sophia’s suggestion.

Only….

When a homebody sees an interesting exhibition, what could possibly stop them from checking it out?

Obviously, nothing.

Sophia and Audrey turned their heads back just to see that Dorothy had already “popped” into a brand new outfit.

The homebody witch was no longer in her original black school robe but had changed into local Japanese attire—a set of black haori, and she hung the Demon Blade Red Shadow at her waist, dressed as a Japanese Samurai.
