It is a full moon, you notice.
A perfect opportunity to continue your meditation training, hence why you are heading to the place where Inosuke had shown you earlier.
Moving the leaves from your view, your eyes take in the view of the river. The moon shone on the water, it’s light dying the river in silver.
You felt at ease.
“Hopefully, it’ll work…” you muttered, sitting down in front of the river, legs crossed.
Closing your eyes, you take a deep inhale, beginning to start with the hand gestures as you chanted in your mind
Namu Amida Namu Kanzeon, Namu Myoho Renge Kyo…
Namu Amida Namu Kanzeon, Namu Myoho Renge Kyo…
Namu Amida Namu Kanzeon, Namu Myoho Renge Kyo…
“—look.”
Your eyebrows twitched.
The voice—it’s there again.
“—almost.”
Namu Amida Namu Kanzeon, Namu Myoho Renge Kyo…
Namu Amida—
Your eyes shot open at the sharp pain in the middle of your chest, Inhaling shakily—heat blossomed throughout your chest, spreading to your entire body to the tips of your fingers.
You coughed violently, clutching your stomach.
What’s happening?
“You’ve summoned me, child. You’ve summoned me whilst conscious.”
Your eyes widened at the sound of the familiar voice—her silvery, cool voice that sent shivers down your spine.
“Tsukina. It’s been a while.” You greeted hoarsly, leaning over to the river to see your reflection.
Your eyes had a white glow to them, a few crescent moon marks on your face—one on both of your cheeks, and one on your forehead.
Huh. You cupped your hands, scooping out a bit of the water before raising it to your lips, taking a drink from the cold water.
“Yes, it has. Iʼve been expecting you, really.”
“Is this what I have to do if I want to summon you?” You asked, sitting down back again.
“No, child. This is what you have to do to summon me for the first time. From then on, you will just have to utter my name and tell me what you need.”
“I see...to summon you for the first time, I have to do this on a full moon? I wasn’t aware.”
“Yes. Although I am a Shinto deity, Buddhist methods work best to summon me.”
“Does this also work with Inosuke and Kemono?”
“No, his methods are different from mine. While mine requires meditation and the full moon, his summoning requires something else. I cannot reveal this to you, however.”
“Alright…” you sigh, tongue running along your bottom lip. “Thank you, Tsukina. That’ll be all. I must inform Himejima-san that I have finished my training.”
