There was a confused hush that fell over the spirits and Reigen cleared his throat loudly. “What my humble protège means is that you all are very esteemed in your experience and hospitality.”
The redirection worked flawlessly on Biwa, whose change in mood set the rest of the less powerful yokai at ease. He laid himself on Reigen’s lap, propping his head into his hands.
Reigen reminded himself that this was a ghost possessing an instrument and not a man nuzzling up against him. One hand found the neck of the instrument part and the other found the plectrum. He had to pause at the feel of it…it felt like ivory. ‘This isn’t legal anymore, is it…?’
Regardless, the show had to go on.
When he struck the strings, the sound was resilient and rich. The tone reverberated in the room and a steady calm fell over even the most restless of the ghosts.
