I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga - Chapter 393



393 – [Side Story] Inherited Legend

“Wow! It’s pervert!”

When I suddenly shouted and stepped back, Mr. Ryuji, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked me with a surprised expression.

“Suisei-kun, can you see this guy?”

What Mr. Ryuji pointed to as he said that he was a foreign ghost with only his upper body inside the car while floating in the air.

“Huh? SurelyMr. Ryuji can see this ghost too?”

“I guess I can see it, because he’s a pretty old friend.”

Mr. Ryuji said that and scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed.

It seems that Mr. Ryuji saw this ghost from the beginning.

“I could never have imagined that the antiques I bought would have this effect.”

“Originally it was just a simple ornament, but as the necklace ages, it seems to have acquired a certain mystique.”

Two people exchanging unknown stories while pointing to the Eye of Horus that I received as a gift.

As I was perplexed by that sight, Rin, who was sitting next to me, spoke first.

“I’m sorry for hiding it for so long, Sui-chan. I don’t think Mr. Mahes surprised you with any malicious intent.”

“… Rin, can you see that ghost too?”

Rin nodded her head to the question I asked carefully.

“Yes. Mr. Mahes is like family that has been with me since I was young.”

“Is this ghost like family?”

I looked at the brown-skinned ghost in front of me with a blank expression.

From noble mtl dot come

And perhaps in response to my words, the foreign ghost who was in the middle of a conversation with Mr. Ryuji crossed his arms and said.

“That’s rude. Kid. I have a proud name called Mahes.”

“It’s complicated to explain, but this ghost is a good ghost that has been with you since you were a child. So, you don’t need to be too afraid.”

Haha! He’s a good ghost! It’s so funny!”

Mr. Chiaki bursts into laughter as if he was listening to the whole story even while driving.

It was truly a total mess, so I spoke while holding my aching head.

“For now, don’t do this here, please arrive in front of my house and explain.”

“Oh, really?”

Perhaps surprised by my firm attitude, Mr. Ryuji nodded his head with a puzzled expression as he said that.

I don’t know how this happened.

In fact, isn’t all of this a hidden camera?

With that thought in mind, I tried to escape reality, but the foreign ghost floating in front of me coldly drove home the fact that all of this was real.

‘I don’t know.’

In the end, I stopped thinking deeply.

***

We arrived at our house after a 30-minute car ride.

The house where Ryuji’s family lives is about a block away from here, so it’s a 5-minute walk.

However, it was a bit awkward to stand in front of the house and talk, so I went inside the house with Ryuji’s family.

“Excuse me~”

“Excuse me~”

Perhaps because he came to visit so often, Mr. Ryuji came into our house with a natural greeting and made eye contact with Mama Rika, who was washing dishes in the kitchen and looking at us with a puzzled expression.

“Ah, Rika. It’s been a while.”

“A group suddenly came to my house. What on earth is going on?”

“If I were to explain that, it would be a long story…”

AsMr. Ryuji said that and massaged the back of his neck with an embarrassed expression, his father, who came out of the living room late, spoke in a surprised voice.

“Ryuji?”

“Ah, Yoosung. You were home.”

An expression that makes you feel like you’ve won a thousand battles.

“Today happened to be a holiday. So what brought you here?”

In response to Dad’s question, Ryuji sneaked out and looked at the ghost named Mahes in turns, then spoke to Dad with a serious expression.

“I’ll tell you straight, Yooseong. Suisei-kun can now see Mahes.”

“What?!”

***

Dad sat on the living room sofa and sighed deeply after hearing the whole story from Mr. Ryuji.

“I never thought Suisei would have such a ‘talent’.”

“I didn’t expect it either.”

I was between the two people, watching their reactions, and asked cautiously.

“Huh, Dad? What on earth are you talking about earlier? Talent?”

“To put it simply, I would say it is a talent for exorcism.”

Dad said that and explained about the ghost called Mahes.

“Mahes is the pharaoh of ancient Egypt. He was originally called Horus, a ‘wise man.’”

And being able to see Mahes like that means you have what it takes to become a warrior of the sun.

“… A warrior of the sun?”

“Yes. They are warriors who wield a power called ‘Tutra.’”

“The talent to use Tutra is usually passed down through the blood. Perhaps, since your father, Kim Yu-sung, is the strongest warrior of the sun of the current generation, you, as a member of his lineage, also inherited that power.”

The ghost named Mahes said that and looked down at me with his arms crossed.

Honestly, I feel dizzy.

Until now, I thought I was just an ordinary guy, but in fact, I had the talent to use special powers like a cartoon character.

“Of course, even if you have that talent, you don’t have to become a Sun Warrior. But if you want, you can teach you how to wield that power.”

Mr. Ryuji said that and looked at me with a serious expression.

My father, who was watching from the side, chimed in.

“Issei, Dad respects your wishes. If he doesn’t want to learn, he doesn’t have to force himself to learn.”

When I heard that, I hurriedly waved both hands and said.

“No, I don’t particularly dislike it either. Just give me a moment to think about it. It happened so suddenly that honestly, my mind can’t keep up.”

It was about 20 years ago that it became known that beings such as ghosts, monsters, and wizards exist in reality.

Nowadays, it is so taken for granted that it is no longer strange to hear professions such as exorcist or exorcist, but my father and Ryuji were people in those fields.

“Is it possible that your company only specializes in that type of work?”

“No, it’s not like that. Basically, I mainly get work protecting important figures. I guess the only thing I get paid for that kind of work is when an evil spirit appears that I can’t handle.”

“… You get what you get.”

My father, who heard what I said, pretended not to hear anything and looked the other way.

This is what dad usually does when he has nothing to say.

Anyway, it was clear that they were just waiting for my answer, so I answered after thinking it through.

“Is it possible to get a hands-on experience?”

Anyway, it’s a bit difficult to decide on your career path with a light heart, right?

***

Fortunately, Ryuji’s reaction was positive.

“Of course! You don’t have to decide right now!”

“But what specifically do you do if you are an introduction to experience?”

When Mr. Chiaki, who was sitting next to him, asked a pointed question, Mr. Ryuji was speechless and said, “Huh?”

Dad, who was quietly watching the scene, said.

“Why not start by feeling the tutra?”

“Ah! That’s good!”

Mr. Ryuji snaps his fingers and agrees.

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like nothing had been prepared, but I asked out of courtesy.

“But what exactly is tutra?”

The person who answered my question was a ghost named Mahes.

“In ancient Egyptian, Tut means ‘image’ and ra means ‘sun.’ In other words, when put together, it becomes the ‘shape of the sun,’ and in Japanese, it has a similar feeling to what we call energy. “

It was Mr. Chiaki who supplemented what he said.

“Of course, it’s not exactly the same, but it’s a power with a similar concept. And unlike general energy, Tutra specializes in erasing evil entities.”

I guess it’s the power of the sun.

“Sun!”

I feel like something is tickling my chest.

Would you say it feels like there is something that stimulates a man’s primal instincts?

As the story progressed from feeling the tutra to learning it, as Dad said, Mama Ayase came out from her kitchen and brought refreshments.

“But even if Yooseong is like that, Ryuji, why are you so happy?”

“Huh? Me?”

“Yeah. You’ve been laughing since a while ago.”

When Mama Ayase said that and pointed to the corner of her mouth, Ryuji looked worried for a moment and then answered honestly.

“Maybe it’s because I’m happy that there’s someone I can pass on my skills to.”

“Ah~”

Mama Ayase nodded her head with an expression of understanding.

After listening to the conversation between the two people, I asked my father.

“Dad, are there a very small number of warriors of the sun all over the world?”

Then my father answered by scratching his cheek.

“I guess so? In total, there will be less than 1,000 people. Among them, only a very small number are in Japan.”

Then isn’t it almost an endangered species?

Only then did I feel like I knew why Mr. Ryuji was happy.

“Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve been here to hang out. How long will we only talk about heavy things like this? Let’s talk about something fun.”

When Mama Ayase, who was sitting in her reserved seat, expressed her dissatisfaction by saying that, Mr. Ryuji nodded his head with an embarrassed expression.

This is the story of adults’ current situation that started like that.

It seemed impossible to dig up any more information than this, so I quietly decided to stay in my room on the second floor with Rin.
