Chapter 70 Tzu Chi Institute

"You two have done something truly remarkable."

Baijie looked at Yaming and Ayaka who had lost their invisibility and sighed deeply.

"Woo~~~"

Ye Ming had a sad face.

"…………sorry."

Ayaka also frowned, sighing softly and feeling regretful.

At this time, after the store owner lost his temper, Baijie hurriedly came forward to apologize to him and claimed that if there was any loss, the Kurohimeyama clan would try to deal with it.

"I don't care who you are. You messed up the store like this, and I can't just accept a simple apology."

The store manager was still furious and refused to accept the apology.

"Manager Kuroda, I'm so sorry, but Brother Baijie is President Lianzhang's guest. I hope you can be lenient with him if possible."

Ye Ya also took the opportunity to come over and say something good.

"Hey... isn't this Xiao Yeya, the poster girl of the Lianzhang Chamber of Commerce?"

The bookseller known as a black shop was a little surprised.

"Ah, Manager Kuroda, do you recognize me?"

"Little girl, you are a well-known person. It would be strange if I didn't know you. I am also familiar with President Renjo Senjuro, and I have heard about you a long time ago."

Suddenly, the middle-aged man named Kuroda touched his chin.

"Wait a minute... Could this be the one who saved President Renjo? The Kurohimeyama family, now I remember, they're a famous family of exorcists from Mutsu. Sorry, I'm being rude."

After being angry, Kuroda quickly calmed down and apologized to Baijie with a businessman's smile.

"President Lianzhang is also my friend, and I want to thank you for saving his life."

"No, it was just a coincidence."

"It was a coincidence, but it was also a life-saving grace."

Kuroda smiled and said, "I was just angry and confused. To be honest, it's not a big deal. I was the one making a fuss."

He said in a deep voice, "Let's leave it at that for today... Don't worry, our shop will handle it ourselves from now on."

Baijie didn't expect that Renjo Senjuro's connections were so useful.

"We are also responsible for the store being in this state. Please allow us to help and contribute our efforts."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's help clean up first."

Ye Ya also took the opportunity to say, "There are a few regular customers of the bookstore here who said they want to volunteer to help Manager Kuroda clean up the messy bookstore.

Also, I think these two did something wrong, but it wasn't a big deal. There seems to be an exorcist among them, so why not ask her to lend a hand and help tidy up the bookshelf so that everyone can feel more at ease."

"I...I can help, please let me do it!!"

Ye Ming raised his hands desperately.

……

After all, he is an exorcist who can control Shikigami. Ye Ming can be useful at this time.

She used magic to control several simple artificial Shikigami at the same time and began to clean the rental bookstore. This kind of simple Shikigami was invisible and invisible, coming and going without a trace, and their daily job was to serve tea and meals.

They are very suitable for carrying objects. With these Shikigami, cleaning up this messy bookstore is a lot easier.

"W-what? So... you're also a reader of Mr. Rushi Jingqing?"

While Ye Ya was cleaning, she excitedly started chatting with the rustic-looking girl.

"Ah... well... indeed, I'm here to pick up the new publication today."

Hiiragi Hiruko stammered, "In the end, the book was taken away by someone in advance."

"Back to you."

Baijie handed the reading novel to her.

“…Uh, this is it.”

Hiiragi Hiruko was bewildered.

"I consulted with Manager Kuroda... Indeed, this book should be the one you reserved. Since it's yours, I will definitely return it to you."

Baijie explained.

"Also, actually, I was just asked by Ye Ya to come find the book..."

"That's really a coincidence."

Ye Ya smiled and said, "Miss Zhenyu and I are also book friends. So, Miss Zhenyu, could you please lend me this book to read?"

"Lend it to you?"

Hiiragi Hiruko murmured softly, "It's okay, it's okay."

"That's great. No one I know is willing to talk to me about Mr. Rushi Jingqing's work. If there's a chance, please chat with me in detail..."

Ye Ya's tone was quite excited.

After all, it is somewhat rare for her to find friends with similar interests.

"Alright."

Hiiragi Hiruko didn't resist too much.

She could feel Ye Ya's "friendly" mood.

Ye Ya really wanted to talk to him more about the topic of novel reading.

On the other hand, Hiiragi Hiruko herself did not dislike this kind of "friendliness" because, since she officially became a high-ranking witch, she had not even made friends of the same age.

Everyone around her regards her as the "spokesperson" of the almighty god Sakura Mahouya, and the incarnation of the god.

To others, speaking with Hiiragi Hiruko is like speaking with a god; interacting with her is like interacting with a god... Everyone around her treats her as if she were a precious, fragile object, cautiously and fearfully, never daring to show the slightest disrespect. She has no so-called childhood; in front of outsiders, she must maintain the image of "the incarnation of god."

However, the shrine maiden is just a shrine maiden. She is actually not much different from ordinary people. After all, Hiiragi Hiruko is just a girl at a sentimental age.

"By the way, Miss Manayu, where do you live?"

Ye Ya asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Hiiragi Hiruko looked a little embarrassed.

She couldn't tell anyone that she usually stayed in the sacred area of ​​the Shenying headquarters. If she did, everyone would doubt her identity.

In the end, she could only name a location.

"It's...an orphanage nearby, called the Tzu Chi Home."

"Eh?"

Ye Ya was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised.

"Ms. Zhenyu, do you really live in the Tzu Chi Home?"

"Yes."

Hiiragi Hiruko nodded.

"I work at the Tzu Chi Center and I'm also staying there temporarily."

"is it?"

Ye Ya was thoughtful for a moment, then she asked, "So, can I go and bother Miss Zhenyu today?"

"Huh? Um... Miss Ye Ya, you should have heard the rumors about the Tzu Chi Institute, right?"

Hiiragi Hiruko asked quietly, "Because it's a place that specifically houses children with half-demon bloodlines, so many people hate it."

"But I don't hate it."

Ye Ya said with a happy smile.

"I really want to know more about Miss Manyu and become your good friend!"

Hiiragi Hiruko was suddenly speechless and her face turned red.

……

Tzu Chi Institution is a relatively well-known orphanage in Kasumi City. It houses orphans with half-demon bloodlines.

In this world, half-demons are vulnerable to discrimination and bullying. There are constant conflicts between humans and monsters. Even ordinary people are deeply touched by the disasters brought by monsters.

There are some cannibal monsters among the monsters. Humans are their main meal. It is common for them to attack villages and abduct children and women.

Exorcists with powerful spiritual powers will take the initiative to fight monsters, and this behavior is not even for the good deeds of "subduing monsters and protecting others."

As the number of monsters increases, more powerful individuals will be born. Powerful monsters will also increase their strength by eating many people.

The favorite food of man-eating monsters is individuals with strong spiritual power. Exorcists are well aware that people with spiritual power like themselves are easily targeted by monsters. Their flesh and blood are more attractive to monsters. In order to protect themselves, it is logical to take actions to weaken monsters.

One hundred and fifty years ago, there was a great chaos between humans and demons. A large number of people were slaughtered and killed by the demon army "Blood-stained Six Gates". This also led to the birth of many ferocious monsters at that time. They formed armies and moved in groups, causing great harm.

In the modern era when many monsters have been destroyed, powerful monsters have retreated into the mountains and forests or avoided showing themselves in front of humans. They are well aware of the terrifying power of human exorcists.

Those weak monsters act recklessly, invade villages, and devour more living people. They are often targeted by exorcists and killed.

The powerful demons are becoming more and more cunning, their whereabouts more secretive, and they are becoming particularly adept at conspiracy and calculation. It is even becoming increasingly difficult to catch their flaws.

On the other hand, in this era where a certain balance is maintained between humans and demons, the existence of half-demons has become more prominent in human society.

Let me explain first, two-thirds of the half-demons in this world are not born, but artificially created.

It is said that in the era before the war between humans and demons broke out, in order to strengthen the lower-level cannon fodder, the magicians deliberately used the blood of monsters to transform mortals and psychics, creating soldiers with demonic powers.

While half-demons possess demonic abilities, they are still fundamentally human. The transformed soldiers of the past are the primary source of half-demons in later generations. The descendants of these transformed individuals often produce offspring with manifested bloodlines.

Of course, this secret is unknown to outsiders except for a few exorcists. Most people believe that giving birth to a half-demon is a punishment from heaven, a retribution from the gods and Buddhas.

“The location is right here…it’s quite far from the city.”

Hiiragi Hiruko led the two of them to a long house at the deepest part of the alley.

"Previously, the Tzu Chi orphanage was located closer to the temple, but due to protests from many locals, we had no choice but to relocate and open the orphanage here."

This is a relatively deserted alley, and this long house also gives people the feeling of a haunted house with a "gloomy atmosphere".

Just as Hiiragi Hiruko was about to push the door open, there was a loud bang and the door was pushed open with force.

"Who wants to stay in a place like this? Don't try to trap me—"

The little girl rushed out, completely naked.

"Don't even think about catching me!!"

Her long hair was wet and she ran out barefoot, her feet making a wet, clattering sound as they stepped on the ground.

But the next second, a big hand suddenly reached out from behind the door and grabbed the little girl's arm.

"You little bitch, I'm just taking a bath, why are you yelling?"

The person who spoke was an older woman. Her face was like a rock, and her skin was rough, giving the impression of a rock-like monster. However, there was no demonic aura about the older woman, so she certainly wasn't a monster.

The girl was still struggling in the aunt's hands.

"……Eh?"

Suddenly, she twisted her neck and saw a group of people walking from the alley outside the long house. She couldn't help but open her eyes wide and stare at Bai Jie who was walking towards her.

The girl, no, it should be said that it was Sakiru Furakuza who had "shrunk" and turned into a girl. She opened her mouth and let out a strange cry.

“Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”

——Young Master, why are you here!?
