"Now it's time to introduce our family. Our students." The monk took me to a smaller temple building where many doors were. "Come here, my students, here's the legendary girl that I've told you before."
Three little monks, and one late teenager (or a young adult) came to the square, but I was all sure what their genders are, also because normally my kinds are genderless inside unless they want to decide.
"Oh wow! Are you that Red Demon from our scrolls? From old books? Are you THAT strong to fight hundreds of others of us? Can you show us later?" The boy (in human physics) who seemed like 12 rapped. "I'm Da yin Kim!"
The other boy about his age intervened. "Hey chill out. How do you want to be called? Ya know.. if you know what we are.. we aren't named like people. How can I call you? You can call me Lee.Jr" .
"Hey!" This one was physically female, with high pitched but somehow a lovely voice. "Do you REALLY want to be a master monk like Mr.Lee infront of our Red Hero? Cause I'm pretty sure she's gonna be the next master monk." Ok. She spoke too loud, my face was blushed.
I was ashamed, I never want to be one's master.
Kids are fun to watch. They chatter so quickly, but also they had the sense of inhuman power that I enjoyed.
Now the oldest monk bowed slowly.
"Hello, our Red Asura. You can call me Han. My surname is Ja. Please call me Han, we are your family. And this Lee Jr. doesn't really have a name, but he wanted us to call him such. And this girl, her name is Ryang Jin Seo."
"I want to be called Jin, that sounds better. That sounds like the demon from the country far away!"
"She loves myths from this world." Han kindly described, still his head bowed a little.
"Are you going to stay like that? Please make yourself comfortable. I'll be staying here for a long time, not as a guest, but living with you guys." I waved my hands telling them stop having too much manner for me. It was uncomfortable.
"I am from the weak family. I look old, but I am the weakest. These two, Lee Jr. And Jin are the strong ones." Han generously described.
"Yeah, stop acting like a servant!" Lee Jr. Rolled his eyes. Jin was not saying a word though.
"Jin and I are from the same bloodline! We are like cousins. From the old dynasty."
"But you can stay comfortable, the Red Asuras are born leaders." Jin was suddenly speaking shyly.
"Stop making yourself cute, ya demon!" Lee Jr. mocked.
They got into a small fight. Well not so small if people would see, because they were like spirits of nature, stronger than even compared to yokais probably. Jin was able to use thunders, and Lee Jr. Could use water and trees.
Guess Jin was born with stronger genes, but her soul was younger than her cousin. We can't guess how old they are just by human flesh covered.
They looked like superhumans rather than asura, the demons.
"It's because they are young, and trained."
The Master Monk finally told me his name, Sung Cheol Lee.
"They came to learn on earth, and they are just passerbys. They are not going to be buddhist monks."
"Oh, so like a family trip."
"Yes. There are their families living in the city. They run a company, I heard that is pretty big."
Sounds pretty royal to me.
"You are the royal line in hell, didn't you know?"
You mean, like a princess or something?
"No, more like a knight, or a fighter, or a king." Han explained. I realized that Han could read others' minds like Monk Sung Cheol. Maybe he would be the next master monk.
"That hunt humans. And eat their souls!" Lee.Jr. was excited, hyped.
"Do you really like those things?" They were more awkward than I. The superheroes to them, just sounded like the Devil to earth people.
Well guess that is just how it goes?
I did not like how Asura thing works.
