Four That's exactly why Ji Hui had a hard time restraining himself the whole night, especially at the beginning when he had to wait for Ruth and others to check the news about the House of the Demon Eye.

So in the end, Kana Hazen's inexplicably thoughtful tissue came in handy, allowing him to use the toilet at Hazen Shrine in the middle of the night before returning to lie down on the sofa in the living room.

4 But after all this trouble, less than two hours after he closed his eyes, it was dawn, and Kana Hazen got up. She was driven back into Chizuru Hazen's room by the other party, and waited there until she woke up.

Of course, he would not tell Chizuru Yuzen all these things, so after a slight cough, he began to speak.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're okay."

"Well, thank you for taking care of me."

Fourth, Chizuru Yuzen also looked sideways slightly in embarrassment, and twisted her body unconsciously.

After all, she was only wearing a set of shabby clothes, and the only thing she had was a quilt in her hand.

Then she thought about how she might have accidentally leaked something about Tsubaki last night, and she felt a burning sensation different from a fever spreading across her face.

"It's nothing, you just don't actually have a fever."

However, Ji Hui shook his head slightly, which made Yu Ran Chizuru slightly stunned.

"I don't have a fever? Then I am..."

Since Chizuru Yuzen has woken up now, Ji Hui took the initiative to speak and told her what happened last night.

As he spoke, Chizuru Hazen's brows furrowed a little, and her expression became a little more serious.

"So, my health deteriorated because Liliana's flesh and blood parasitized me, absorbing my nutrients? And a fallen woman came last night?"

As she spoke, she clamped the quilt with the hairpin beside the bed, draped it over her body like a bath towel, then climbed up from the mattress and walked to the edge of the window.

After she lifted the baffle, the scene of the pierced barrier came into her sight. After thinking for a while, she turned her head again and looked at Ji Hui who stood up from the tatami.

"The barrier was shattered in a single blow. The power of that fallen woman must be quite formidable."

"Are you sure that's all he told you last night? There's nothing else?"

"I'm sure, but her attitude at the time made me afraid that if I asked her a few more questions, she would turn against us, so I didn't try any further."

Ji Hui nodded slightly, causing Chizuru Yuzen to lower her head and think.

"Returning a favor? Honestly, I still feel a little... "

Gu————

Just as she was saying this, a sound coming from her stomach interrupted her words, making the expression on her face suddenly become very awkward, and Ji Hui shook his head helplessly.

"Anyway, let's eat first. I bet you didn't eat well yesterday."

Chapter 201: Starlight Church

"Delicious."

Feeling the warm porridge with a hint of saltiness flowing into her stomach, making her body feel warm and comfortable, a faint smile appeared on Chizuru Yuzen's face.

Although she had said that she could cook by herself, at Ji Hui's request, he was the one who cooked the meal in the end, so Yu Ran Chizuru had to wait obediently at the dining table for him to bring the hot vegetable porridge.

"After working more in the cafe, it seems my skills have improved."

Seeing that Chizuru Yuzen was eating so happily, Ji Hui also said with a smile, which made Chizuru Yuzen nod vigorously.

"It won't be long before your cooking skills surpass mine."

After chatting for a while, Chizuru Hazen finally felt a slight sense of satisfaction rising in her stomach. She put down the spoon in her hand and brought the topic back to what happened last night.

"You really should have woken me up at that time, otherwise, what if she wanted to harm you?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Ji Hui waved his hand gently, indicating that she could rest assured.

"At that time, I was prepared to use the time-stopping barrier to freeze everything around her if she started to attack, and then drag you and Kana away."

"But that's why I'm wondering, did that evil girl named Karina really come here to help you remove Liliana's flesh and blood just to exchange for a favor?"

Ji Hui's words made Yuzen Chizuru think for a while before nodding slightly.

"If you want to say it's possible, it's not completely impossible. After all, fallen women are basically self-centered. It's not impossible for them to act on a whim."

"Rather, people like Liliana who are insane are the minority. After all, the Fallen Daughters are just acting to satisfy their own interests, and they're not truly brainless."

"It's not surprising that she couldn't even get by in the Broken Star Palace after provoking other fallen women like this."

Seeing that Yuzen Chizuru said this, Ji Hui had no choice but to lean against the backrest, cross his arms and mutter to himself.

"Is it"

Is it because the impression left on him by a lunatic like Liliana was so deep that he subconsciously thought that all the fallen girls were as crazy and twisted as her?

"But compared to this, you should pay attention to what she said about the Xinghuang Church."

And the next sentence of Chizuru Yuzen also immediately alerted Ji Hui, and he quickly asked.

"Oh, by the way, I was also wondering, what is the Xinghuang Church? Could it be some independent force from the Holy Spirit Temple and the Shattered Star Palace?"

"That's not the case. If you insist, the Xinghuang Church should be considered our ally."

Chizuru Hazen shook her head slightly, then began to explain to Ji Hui.

"They are a church formed spontaneously by magical girls and formed an organizational system, worshipping the Holy Spirit Temple as their god."

"Do you regard the Holy Spirit Temple as a god?"

Ji Hui was stunned at first, then seemed to have thought of something and showed a thoughtful expression.

"That's right, he gives magical girls powers and can grant wishes. In a sense, he is indeed a god."

"Yes, that's it."

And Hanezome Chizuru Wu also nodded, and after changing to a more comfortable sitting position, she continued.

"Give extraordinary power to destroy evil demons, help those with good intentions realize their wishes, and guide humanity towards good."

"With this in mind, they are different from the other magical girls who usually treat the Holy Spirit Temple as their superior. Instead, they worship it as a benevolent deity sent down to the world."

"Unlike us retail merchants, the Xinghuang Church has strict management over magical girls, or rather, believers themselves. They also have many restrictions on the fulfillment of wishes and personal behavior. It can be said to be a unique system. Overall, it is indeed much better than the current situation where magical girls secretly compete with each other and even resort to sting operations."

"Sounds pretty good?"

"Yeah, that sounds good."

As Chizuru Hazen spoke, she gently sipped the cooled porridge in the bowl, and the expression on her face became somewhat helpless.

"But when it comes to something like religion, it's impossible for it to just stop at this point."

"While it's still okay for some peripheral believers, among the core members of the church, the faith seems to be getting stronger and stronger."

After hearing her words, Ji Hui's expression became a little strange.

"Could they be bringing up some theory about the orthodoxy of the Holy Spirit Temple?"

“Not quite, but almost.”

After considering for a while, Chizuru Hazen continued.

"Although I'm semi-retired and no longer get involved in matters concerning magical girls, I've heard from some people that many believers are advocating for the Holy Spirit Temple to control the world."

"The reason is simple. Good wishes are granted, while malicious ones are rejected. It's not a group of people who make the judgment, but a true god who possesses power far beyond that of mortals and is unaffected by human status or background. This method is just right for them."

"As long as we do good, the Holy Spirit Temple will naturally reward us with kindness. With this kind of faith, people will naturally act for the sake of goodness, and ultimately, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit Temple, we will move towards a better and more peaceful future."

"Since humans are unable to determine good and evil on their own, leading to constant wars and conflicts, we should all believe in a benevolent god who will surely realize our good wishes and rule the world. This idea, similar to allowing AI to dominate humanity, has indeed received a response to well-intentioned wishes and has attracted the support of many believers."

"So, with this kind of thinking in mind, those who harbor doubts about the Holy Spirit Temple and harbor dissatisfaction with it will naturally have some verbal conflicts with them. They are also considered to be driven by selfish desires and meaningless pride, and are afraid to openly accept the rule of a higher and more holy being."

"To put it simply, they believe that those who are unwilling to support the Four Temples of the Holy Spirit are guilty because of their own selfish desires and evil thoughts. That's why they are unwilling to welcome, and even question and disobey, a god who can bring beauty and kindness to the world."

"And those magical girls who are using rhetoric to satisfy their selfish desires are naturally considered by them to be taking advantage of the goodwill of the Holy Spirit Temple. They need to be taught and judged so that they can correctly understand the noble ideals of the Holy Spirit Temple and become magical girls who truly fight for good. That's about it."

Chapter 202 Spiritual Holy Religion

Seeing the strange expression on Ji Hui's face after hearing her words, Yuzen Chizuru also shook her head.

"I know you feel uncomfortable. In fact, most people who know about this idea feel the same way."

"However, as the number of unqualified magical girls increases, and the overall atmosphere deteriorates, the ideals of those believers do receive considerable support."

"After all, even if it sounds a bit extreme, the good wishes given by the Holy Spirit Temple and the benefits it brings to the world are all real, especially for the poor people who are saved by the good wishes of the magical girls."

"Therefore, most magical girls, even Anjianyuan, who was asked to allow the church a certain degree of autonomy, didn't say anything and simply remained silent. They only spoke out lightly when the girls did something a little too extreme."

"After all, they have a reason to fight for a better future and world peace. Not to mention, they are indeed more organized and disciplined than the scattered magical girls nowadays. They also provide considerable assistance to other impoverished areas. Therefore, most people just turn a blind eye."

After saying these words, Chizuru Hazen also drank another mouthful of porridge to slightly moisten her throat which had become a little hoarse from talking for a long time.

“Okay, I think I understand.”

Ji Hui nodded slightly at first, then hesitated for a while and then asked.

"But haven't they ever thought about why the power granted by the Holy Spirit Temple has a technical black box, and why those magical girls who secretly commit evil are not directly punished? They can't just turn a blind eye to this, right?"

"In this regard, they believe that the reason they need a black box is because there are so many people with evil intentions. They can't easily hand over power to those with bad intentions. That's why they have strict restrictions, concentrating the power to protect the world in the hands of those who truly hold noble ideals."

"As for why the Holy Spirit Temple didn't impose further sanctions, they felt that this was precisely a manifestation of its greatness. Rather than forcibly restricting people's hands and feet, it offered a high degree of tolerance, hoping that people would be good."

"Of course, that's why they also believe that the Xinghuang Church is subordinate to the Holy Spirit Temple. In order to correctly convey the ideals of the Holy Spirit Temple, they have the responsibility to teach and guide those magical girls who use wishes to satisfy their own desires in the gray area that the Holy Spirit Temple cannot reach."

Chizuru Hazen spread her hands, and there was a hint of distress in her tone.

"You know, it's only natural to describe something as religious and glorify the actions of someone you believe in."

"Well, you're right."

Ji Hui couldn't help but hold his forehead and muttered with a headache.

"So, this religious organization that firmly believes in the Holy Spirit Temple has unknowingly set its sights on me, an extraterritorial demon?"

"After all, your special identity and the things that are going on make you a person that they need to pay special attention to."

Chizuru Yuzen didn't know what to say. It was better to say that considering Ji Hui's current identity as a human, a demon from outside the domain, and a monster, it was normal for various forces to target such a weird person like him.

"However, you don't have to worry too much. After all, the person who said this is a fallen woman. She is on the opposite side of the Xinghuang Church and will definitely exaggerate in this regard. She might be saying this deliberately to create a psychological barrier between you and them."

After thinking about it, she had no choice but to comfort him in this way, making Ji Hui nod slightly.

However, in his heart, he also knew that this could only be regarded as psychological comfort at best.

At that time, the evil girl named Karina was different from Liliana in both her eyes and attitude.

Instinctively, he felt that what the other party said to him at that time were all true and without any misleading information.

But after all, these words were also said with good intentions by Chizuru Hazen, and it would not be nice for him to refuse directly, so he did not say what he was thinking directly, but changed the subject.

"Okay, I kind of know what happened with the Xinghuang Church. Look on the bright side, at least your body has been completely healed. If it weren't for her, I might not have realized it until your health had completely deteriorated to a dangerous level before I could finally react and take you for specialized treatment."

"Well, thanks to you for keeping watch by my side."

Recalling the scene last night when she was half asleep and half awake and forced Ji Hui to be by her side, Yuzen Chizuru slightly turned her eyes away and her tone became a little softer.

"It's okay, it's okay. You've been staying at the Demon Eye House to take care of me, haven't you? We're even now."

Ji Hui waved his hand gently and said with a smile.

"It's good to recover, so I can go to work with peace of mind. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease when I'm working."

Go to work

Chizuru Yuran suddenly realized that Ji Hui had taken leave to come and take care of her, and she quickly prepared to speak, asking Ji Hui not to worry about her and to focus on his own things first.

However, when the words came to his lips, they were stuck in his throat.

Those vague thoughts that arose in her mind were not forgotten in the corner of her memory as the pain disappeared. Instead, they emerged from her heart again, and in her clearer thinking, she realized something.

Now, Nine has completely recovered. If Four says these eight things, then it seems that there is really no relationship between Two and Ji Huijiu.

He would always be busy with his things, and I would also be busy with my own things. Unless we met by chance, there would basically be no conversation.

After all, as I just said, even in terms of power and current affairs, I, a semi-retired magical girl, am not as clear about it as those girls in service.

So, the original words were taken back, and then another sentence emerged subconsciously from the heart.

"Ji Hui, do you want to stay at my house for one night?"

"Ah?"

Looking at the confused expression on Ji Hui's face, Chizuru Yuzen, who was also shocked by what she had just said, spoke in a panic while thinking.

"That's right, after all, you didn't sleep well last night. As the owner of the shrine, I can't let you go back just like that, right? So I'll treat you well tonight. It just so happens that you can stay at the shrine for a night after a long time. How about it?" Ling
