However, the topic of the five most bizarre legends on campus exploded among all the students, and even when walking on the street, the topic of conversation was these bizarre legends.
Some timid people have already started asking to take leave and go home.
Dongfang Chen frowned slightly; this was not a good sign.
If others don't know, how can he not know?
Many urban legends and ghost stories are actually true, but they were sealed and suppressed by powerful humans to avoid causing panic and thus becoming legends.
However, the existence of some ghosts and monsters actually relies more on people's consciousness.
Just like many so-called gods in Japan, they exist because of people's faith and incense offerings.
Once people lose their faith and offerings for a long time, the 'gods' will also disappear from the world.
The same applies to ghosts and urban legends; if no one knows about them or talks about them, they may not reappear.
Conversely, when countless people talk about or believe in their existence.
So, those ghosts and urban legends might have been born and formed somewhere unknown in the East.
And once they are born, someone is bound to be unlucky!
"Shh!"
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past him in the blink of an eye.
"Wait a moment!"
A girl's voice came from the direction the shadowy figure had come from, and he turned his head to look.
Then a girl with a pink bob haircut and red-rimmed glasses came running from a distance, carrying a blood-red longsword.
She was wearing a pink cardigan over her Fengzhiqi Academy uniform, and black stockings over her short legs.
The moment the girl saw Dongfang Chen, she quickly sheathed her blood-red longsword, as if she was afraid that Dongfang Chen would see it.
Then she tried to brake and turn around, but her foot slipped on the wet road and she lost her balance.
Just as she was about to fall hard, the girl closed her eyes in fear, bracing herself for the pain.
However, before landing, I felt a strong arm wrap around my waist.
She didn't fall to the ground!
"Not using an umbrella in this heavy rain is one thing, but running so fast? Don't you have any sense of safety at all?"
A faint, lecturing voice came from beside me.
The girl slowly opened her eyes, adjusted her glasses which were about to fall off, and then looked at Dongfang Chen.
"Thank you, senior! Um, senior, could you please put me down first?"
The girl said timidly.
"Ah."
Dongfang Chen nodded and put her down. Looking at the girl in front of him, who was about a head shorter than him, he introduced himself and said, "Nice to meet you. I am Dongfang Chen, a second-year student at Fengzhiqi High School."
The girl cautiously raised her head and looked at Dongfang Chen, only to feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Um, nice to meet you. I'm Kuriyama Mirai, a first-year student at Feng Zhiqi High School. Thank you for saving me just now, senpai!"
Kuriyama Mirai bowed slightly to him.
After learning her name, many things about her came to mind.
Dongfang Chen remained outwardly calm: "It was just a coincidence. I'll help if I can. But you've completely lost track of that thing you were chasing."
"Eh!?"
Mirai Kuriyama looked at him in surprise: "Senpai, can you see Youmu?"
Suddenly, she realized something and quickly added, "Oh, I didn't say anything!"
Ordinary people cannot see youkai.
Youmu, also a type of monster (bacc), is a manifestation of the twisted, hateful, and resentful nature of the human mind.
The vast majority of them harbor malice towards humans, and some even feed on humans, making them hostile species to humans.
Of course, there are also a few youmu that are not aggressive towards humans.
"Although I'm not a Spirit World Warrior who specializes in dealing with Youmu, I can still see her, so there's no need to hide it."
Seeing her adorable reaction, Dongfang Chen smiled and said.
"Then, why can you see Youmu, senior?"
"Why? I can only say that I also possess special powers! Also, give me your hand, it's still bleeding, isn't it?"
Before she could refuse, Dongfang Chen had already grabbed her hand that had been cut and started the treatment.
"Eh? Wait..."
Looking at the white light enveloping his palm, it felt like being immersed in warm water, and the wound that had almost ripped his entire palm healed very quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Kuriyama Mirai clenched her fist; the wound had completely healed and didn't hurt at all.
My mind is still a little foggy.
"Alright, the treatment is complete. It's getting late, you'll be late for school if you don't go soon!"
Dongfang Chen reminded him.
She said with some worry, "But, that youkai..."
"They've probably disappeared somewhere long ago. Even if you went to look for them now, you wouldn't find them, would you?"
During the time that was wasted, Youmu, who was already running very fast, had long since disappeared.
She lowered her head somewhat dejectedly: "You're right."
"Your clothes are all wet. You'd better go to school and change first, or you'll catch a cold."
"Ah, um, thank you, senior. I'll be going now."
Kuriyama Mirai bowed to him, then prepared to step back into the rain...
"Snapped!"
A hand patted her on the shoulder.
Dongfang Chen: "Are you really planning to get soaked all the way to school like this? To show some manners as a senior, I'll give you a ride!"
Kuriyama Mirai slowly turned to look at him: "Why? Why are you taking such good care of me, senpai?"
He stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then answered somewhat uncertainly, "To win the favor of the younger generation?"
Kuriyama Mirai paused for a moment. Was that all the reason?
It's obvious that this was just something made up on the spot, isn't it?
She turned her head slightly away: "I...I'm not happy..."
"Okay, let's go!"
He put one hand on her shoulder and led her away.
Along the way, Kuriyama Mirai would occasionally glance at him, seemingly still wondering why he was taking care of her.
Upon reaching the teaching building, Dongfang Chen folded his umbrella and waved to Kuriyama Mirai: "Goodbye, Kuriyama-kun. You'd better hurry up and change out of your wet clothes!"
"Ah, um, thank you, senior."
She only came to her senses slightly after Dongfang Chen's figure disappeared from sight.
She glanced at the clothes clinging to her body and frowned slightly: "I'm not happy."
She still couldn't understand why Dongfang Chen took such good care of her...
The image is of Mirai Kuriyama.
Chapter 120 When did I become yours?
Just as I arrived at the classroom, the class bell rang.
Good morning, Shoko, May.
"Good morning~"
Both of them responded to him.
Then May leaned closer and whispered, "Dongfang-kun, you just happened to arrive right on time today. Did something happen?"
"It was just a small matter; I was looking out for a junior high school girl."
"I see."
She nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The teacher then entered the classroom.
The time after the first class.
Dongfang Chen took out two 'Thor pendants' and gave one to May and one to Shoko.
"I had a friend make this for me. Keep it with you; it can protect you if you encounter any danger."
She held the glass in her hand and examined it for a moment, then asked with some concern, "This isn't very expensive, is it?"
