‘Every time I wake up, there is something that makes my heart beat fast.’ Miko opened her eyes, then saw something under her blanket. ‘What makes my heart beat fast is, under my blanket there is a ghost sleeping on top of my body and under my blanket.’
“Graaah..” The figure under the blanket Miko let out a hoarse voice along with a pungent smelly breath.
It was something for him to be able to survive a situation like this. Ordinary people would feel very frightened when they saw the figure of the creature. The supernatural creature has a body of flesh and skin that has rotted so that it secretes blood and pus fluid and has a blue to dark color. The smell was also very foul making people want to escape from it.
‘But this fear of mine is only first. Now that I have some comrades who can help me to fight these creatures,’ the inner Miko with her eyes that stare flat at the creature.
“Come, Nekomata. Show yourself and shred the accursed creature,” Miko's slow speech gives a warning.
*whirl!* *slash!* *slash!* *slash!*
At first, the wind whirled lightly under Miko's blanket, then the winds instantly slashed at the creature.
The magical beast instantly became a tiny lash of flesh before its body faded in a transparent color and completely vanished from this world.
‘I am an indigo girl.’
‘As you already know about the definition of indigo, I can see ghosts. I've made contracts with some spirits who can help me in dangerous times, but still, it feels very stubborn to see their very dangerous figure. I want to run!’

Miko got out of bed after she got ready. Today was Sunday, so she was off from school and wearing casual clothes that were quite comfortable. Together with her mother and younger brother, Miko ate in the dining room peacefully for a while, as long as those ugly-looking supernatural beings did not reveal themselves.
‘Yosh, great! Today, too, there are no creatures that bother my family. I feel if today will be peaceful!’ Miko watched the entire room as she said that in her heart.
While in the dining room, not much happened. Only Miko and her family ate leisurely, quietly, and politely without making a sound. Good for him, because there was no need to meet or see such a creepy creature as he used to see. Being indigo is sometimes not as easy as it seems when it comes to seeing something that irritates the eyes.
“Alright, I'll go outside first for today. I already have plans to do today.”
Miko immediately got up from the chair she was sitting in, and went to the door to the outside without saying goodbye. This time he smiled a little, because usually he would see the creepy creatures while in the city. But because he made a contract with some of the spirits that protected him, he became calmer and more relaxed than before.
‘My previous dream was, to live peacefully regardless of those creepy creatures. Those supernatural beings often interfere with my daily work. I know they won't do anything to me as long as I don't care about them, but just their sinister form is enough to scare me.’
Being on the streets deserted, Miko several times saw the creepy creatures. As he used to do before having a spirit contract, he simply ignored all of them. The number of creatures in the entire city he lived in had an unknown number. Overseeing them all would only interfere with his journey.
‘But this time is different. After getting a contract with these spirits, I aim to find out the mysteries that lie behind them, where they came from, and who they really are. What I know until now is, those supernatural beings are the spirits of the dead. There's still a lot I don't know about them.’
‘Yap, exactly! My goal is to find out the mystery of them. I might as well become a spiritual expert someday!’

After going through a long enough journey and far enough, he finally reached the forest. It was amazing when he could arrive just on foot, whereas the place could be said to be quite far from where he lived. So the easiest explanation, he used something like spiritual energy, mana, when traveling to increase the stamina he had.
“In this place should be away from the crowd of people.” Miko looked around her, making sure no one was following her. “And as I had expected, in this place .. a lot of creepy creatures like the ones I used to see around my neighborhood.” Miko's eyes were flat with a dry smile painted on her face.
Indeed, he himself intended to go here, to come or fight these creatures. But when he saw the form from them, he had a different expression from the spirit he previously had. Who could still be excited when their figure was? These creatures have a very scary shape!
Well, maybe everyone's opinion of creepy is very diverse. There are people who think the former is creepy, there are also those who consider the former to be inorganic garbage. So if I were told to change the description of these creatures, they would at least have a disgusting form, leaving the majority of people with no appetite to look at them. Plus, they have a stinging stench. It is not fun for someone who eats.
Thankfully, we are ordinary humans and not indigos, so there is no need to look beyond human reason. Just imagine if you are defecating, then there is a pocong that goes into the toilet. It must be very unpleasant and feel uncomfortable to have a bowel movement again. In fact, removing feces from the body is also one of the needs of humans, ‘kan?
“Wa-Wah, I did want to challenge them, but I did not expect their number to be this much.” Miko then sighed. “Hah, stop. I don't know if it works or not, but I need to finish them all off. My contracted spirits will definitely help me in dealing with them.”
“Kitsuna!”
*chuck!*
A katana immediately appeared in Miko's right hand.
After having the katana in her hand, Miko immediately advanced towards the figure one by one and dismembered their bodies mercilessly. Every time a supernatural being was successfully cut, the body piece of the creature instantly burned and vanished without a trace.
‘I have no grudges with you guys, but you will be my training target.’
•••••
Moments pass with Miko committing a one-sided massacre at these supernatural, strange, and disgusting creatures. What he did was very simple, he just shook off the katana, dodged it, then returned to release the katana. But even though it was as simple as this, since his enemy was too slow, he could defeat all of them with just a little effort.
“They are very weak, yes. Is the katana of this spirit too strong for their opponents?” muttered Miko who started to become arrogant due to the cradle of the victory that constantly happened to her. “Maybe, I can do something a little reckless.”
Miko really did something unexpected. After he slashed his sword twisting 360 degrees cutting through all the trees and all the supernatural creatures around it, Miko took out her smartphone that was previously in her pocket, then immediately take a selfie with the background of some supernatural beings who are a few meters away from him.
Indeed, there are no supernatural beings nearby, at least the area that can reach him. Some supernatural beings far away from her still fit inside the camera lens when she takes selfies. The shoot also did not take much time, so he finished his selfie and uploaded it on Instagram before the supernatural creatures approached him.
“Yosh, all those ghosts can also be seen inside the smartphone. If any other indigo person sees this, he will be interested in this photo.” Miko looked briefly at her photo before re-inserting the smartphone into her pocket. “I also want to make an indigo association if I can.”
Miko again held her katana tightly and slashed back at the creatures.
