Why is my anime art style so weird?

At this moment, he was filled with regret.

If he hadn't wanted to surprise Kaguya by going to an antique shop to buy a music box and other fancy things, Kaguya wouldn't have been controlled by the monster, and Fujiwara Chika wouldn't have been in danger.

At this moment, the three of them are probably still in the student council president's office at school, happily enjoying afternoon tea and snacks...

Just as Shirogane Miyuki was feeling uncertain, Xu Ming found the key and rushed over.

The two quickly opened the door and rushed inside.

Then I spotted two figures at a glance.

Lying on the ground, wearing a black school uniform dress, was none other than Fujiwara Chika!

The other person standing next to her was a girl dressed in a Showa-style sailor uniform.

Upon seeing the girl, Xu Ming's expression changed slightly. He immediately took out his phone and pointed the camera at her, while simultaneously stopping Shirogane Miyuki.

A bizarre style of clothing, a somewhat ethereal figure—someone who shouldn't be here.

Xu Ming closed his eyes slightly, then immediately opened them again.

Under the power of spiritual vision, everything is clearly visible.

The girl's figure became even more ethereal, like a colorful bubble that could disappear at any moment, yet a faint, almost imperceptible black aura emanated from her body.

Without a doubt, this girl is a 'ghost'.

Just as Xu Ming was about to make his move, the female ghost quickly raised her hands.

"Please wait! I mean no harm!"

Xu Ming certainly wouldn't put down his phone just because of what the female ghost said.

His wariness remained undiminished as he pointed to Fujiwara Chika lying on the ground.

"Get out of her way!"

The female ghost pouted, looking aggrieved, and walked to the side.

Shirogane Miyuki immediately ran over and helped Fujiwara Chika up.

"Secretary Fujiwara! Wake up! Secretary Fujiwara!"

Shirogane Miyuki slapped her cheeks and shouted loudly.

After a while, the pink-haired creature opened its eyes with a dazed look and grinned foolishly.

"Oh, it's the student council president! Good morning!"

"Good morning my foot! It's evening now!"

state!

He had been worried outside for ages, only to find that this girl was fast asleep inside. Bai Yin Yuxing was furious and immediately smacked her on the head.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Fujiwara Chika immediately covered her head, her eyes filled with tears, and looked pitifully at Shirogane Miyuki.

The atmosphere here is friendly and harmonious (?).

The atmosphere between Xu Ming and the female ghost was extremely tense.

Xu Ming stared intently at the female ghost, his phone remaining perfectly still, his finger resting on the shutter button.

The female ghost turned her head to one side, trying to pretend she couldn't see him, but Xu Ming's gaze was too blinding, making her feel immense pressure.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer and forced a smile.

"Um... please don't look at me like that..."

Xu Ming stared at her coldly, his expression unchanged.

Ever since he was ambushed by various demons and monsters, especially after a benevolent spirit turned evil in front of him, he has become wiser. He only relaxes his vigilance when he is completely certain that the 'weird' has lost its threatening ability.

As for when the 'strange' thing will lose its threat, it will be when it's about to ascend to heaven.

Shirogane Miyuki pulled Fujiwara Chika up from the ground, questioned her carefully, and was about to explain to Xu Ming.

Fujiwara Chika, however, looked as if she had seen a ghost—no, she really had seen a ghost.

She screamed and hid behind Shirogane Miyuki, then pointed at the female ghost and shouted:

"A ghost! There's a ghost!"

Shirogane Miyuki quickly supported her shoulders.

"Calm down, Secretary Fujiwara! No one here can hurt you."

It took Shirogane Miyuki a while to calm her down.

The female ghost sighed helplessly.

"Tell me, who exactly are you?"

Xu Ming's fingers traced patterns on the screen, his eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint in his pupils.

Chapter 192 An Added Responsibility

"Hello, my name is Mizubayashi Sachiko."

The female ghost introduced herself.

Xu Ming looked at her coldly, his expression unchanged.

The female ghost glanced at Xu Ming cautiously.

“I’ve been in this reading room for a long time, and I didn’t mean to scare her.”

Xu Ming still didn't put down his phone.

"Oh, I see. I thought... Aha, ahahaha!"

Fujiwara Chika scratched the back of her head and laughed awkwardly.

Seeing her silly look, Xu Ming's cold expression softened considerably.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke:

“Sachiko Mizubayashi… classmate, you should understand, right? Ghosts cannot remain in the mortal world for long. So I can only help you pass on to the afterlife and attain Buddhahood.”

Mizubayashi Sachiko shook her head.

"I'm waiting for someone who is very important to me, so I can't leave right now. I'm very sorry."

Xu Ming frowned upon hearing her words.

"Sachiko Mizuhara, since you've been here for so long, have you ever considered that the person you're waiting for might already be..."

Although Xu Ming didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was quite clear.

Sachiko Mizuhara has waited for so long, but the person she is looking for has not yet appeared, which means that person is very likely already dead.

Sachiko Mizubayashi, however, stubbornly shook her head.

"No, I've already made a promise with A-Ping. He will definitely come here to find me. He promised me!"

Her expression was very serious, as if she took the other person's vow as the truth.

Shirogane Miyuki suddenly spoke.

"The Mr. Aping you mentioned, is his full name Yoshiya Kohei?"

Sachiko Mizubayashi opened her eyes wide in surprise.

How do you know A-Ping's full name?

Xu Ming and Bai Yinyu looked at each other in bewilderment.

Fujiwara Chika, however, stared blankly at the two of them, feeling as if she had become an unwanted person.

“We just met with Mr. Yoshiya Kohei.” Xu Ming paused, “...at a sanatorium.”

A moment of silence fell over the room.

After a while, Xu Ming slowly spoke.

"Do you... want to see him?"

A wry smile appeared on Mizuhara Sachiko's face.

"I really want to see him! But..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head, and Xu Ming followed her gaze.

A chain formed from black mist was tied to Mizuhara Sachiko's ankle at one end, while the other end disappeared into the void.

Upon seeing the familiar black mist, Xu Ming's expression changed slightly.

After a long silence, Xu Ming said in a deep voice:

Do you really want to see him?

Sachiko Mizuhara nodded vigorously.

"I understand. Please wait here for our good news."

The three walked out of the second reading room, the atmosphere heavy with tension.

Besides the rewards for completing the task, Xu Ming even felt a sense of responsibility weighing on his shoulders.

Glug~~!

Just then, a sudden voice broke the silence between the three.

Xu Ming and Shirogane Miyuki immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Fujiwara Chika's face flushed bright red.

She lowered her head meekly.

"I'm hungry..."

"Pfft! Hehe!"

"Hahaha!"

Without anyone noticing, Xu Ming and Shirogane Yuki suddenly burst into laughter.
