Taking a deep breath, his lungs were filled with a clear mixed scent of trees and soil in the forest. Just then, the eastern part of the sky started to light up. The place they arrived at is halfway up a mountain deep in the Northwest corner of the Kanto region, a place with some open space. The Oboro-guruma suddenly stopped and the light impact caused Zen to open his eyes and he got off the carriage. While thinking of what type of herbs that he needs to collect later and their recipes, he zoned out. Besides the fact that breathing in the fresh air would allow him to move around more easily, one of the other reasons is that of the herbs he has to collect, some of them will only be effective after they absorb the morning dew.
This is one of the reasons why he has to go to the mountain. Regarding the herbs, Zen would try his best to pick the herbs himself. But in Yakuzen Hall, Zen is a doctor, as well as a herbalist. In the human world, people who diagnose illnesses and people who make remedies are different, this method of working is known as the “Medical and medicinal industry”. In terms of characteristics, they are obviously not a clan who practices martial arts. In front of his mansion hangs a sign which says “Yakuzen Hall”, and they heal other yokai for a living. The herbalist clan which was passed down for generations and led by Zen, and is one of the members of the Nura Gumi. His father and grandfather all lived very short lives, and do not walk this world anymore.
But after they reach adulthood, their feathers will suddenly become poisonous, and even their bodies will be affected by that poison, so their life spans are very short. When Zen was born, his feathers are very beautiful, and weren't poisonous at all. The feather design dyed on the haori is the sign of these poisonous feathers. Soaking his feather in wine will produce a poison which can cause death by corroding all of one’s internal organs-Zen is that type of bird youkai whose feathers contain a strong poison. Zen would normally appear in a human form, but his real identity is just like his name, a type of bird youkai. As for the secretary, he is still calling Zen’s name outside.Īfter feeling the Oboro-guruma float off the ground, Zen closed his eyes. Oboro-guruma would know the way without being given explicit instructions. Zen told the Oboro-guruma, ignoring the cries from the secretary outside.įrom the beginning until now, he has already been ferried by Oboro-guruma to the mountain countless times. Didn’t I tell you before that I have to go to the mountain a few times a year?”Īfter Zen said this, he just entered the Oboro-guruma without waiting for a reply from the other party. “Basically my body has been bad from the start, it always has been like that.” Zen couldn’t help but be reminded of Karasu Tengu every single time he talks to this secretary. “No, Master’s health is not good, absolutely not! Please come down and rest in bed!” “Mountain? I did not hear about that at all!” He could execute tasks effectively and was good with numbers, the only weak point of his was that he nags too much.
He was the new secretary hired after the house was burnt down. The Frog Head yokai wore a fitting dark coloured yukata, and like Zen, wore a haori decorated with a feather emblem. “Master, where are you going this early in the day? Running around like this is bad for your health!” Just as he was about to enter the carriage, the secretary ran out hurriedly from inside the house.
The Oboro-guruma, which he asked Main House to borrow was already waiting. Zen, wearing a yukata and a haori, walked outside to the yard. This place was totally destroyed by a fire before, but it was rebuilt with help from the Main House. The mansion had been renovated before, the corridor and the pillars were all new. "Zen-sama, the Oboro-guruma from the Main House has arrived.”Ī clan member said from the other side of the paper door.Īfter putting the ancient looking lined book, in which he had been writing down his knowledge on herbs, back into the shelf, Zen left the room and headed towards the foyer.
