A comic book, but a librarian

He felt that he should ask Uesugi Sumire for some work injury compensation now, otherwise Hikigaya Hachiman was really afraid that one day he would not even be able to return to Chiba, and he fainted in the student dormitory in Tokyo.

"Is the impact that serious? Then drink this later and go to the infirmary to get some sleep. This is all I can do."

Uesugi Sumiko took out the universal Solomon's preparation, which could ensure that Hikigaya Hachiman would have a good sleep after drinking it. As for the content of his dream, he had to solve it himself. After all, it was not convenient for Uesugi Sumiko to deal with the psychological trauma directly.

"Okay, Jing told you to go find her when you come back. I'm going to the infirmary first."

Hikigaya Hachiman did not refuse. He took the snow-white potion and drank it all in one gulp. Then he blinked his eyes vigorously, as if he felt very novel about the experience after drinking the potion. He yawned and went to find the teacher in the infirmary.

"The great painter is finally back? Are you feeling okay?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Uesugi Sumire standing in front of her with some emotion, and even had a feeling that she was in another world. About a school year ago, Uesugi Sumire was just an ordinary transfer student who came to Tonghe from Shuchiin inexplicably. However, now Uesugi Sumire is already a hot genius in the art world. At least she has heard the news of his admission.

"I still don't feel well. How about you give me a few more days off so I can go back and rest? To be honest, although I look healthy now, my actual condition is almost the same as that guy Hikigaya. It would be better if I rest for two more days."

Uesugi Sumiya's expression didn't change at all when he said this, and Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression didn't change at all when she heard this. She didn't speak until a while after Uesugi Sumiya finished speaking.

"Go on...what are you going to do next?"

"Forget it, I won't make it up. I'm actually fine now, but I just need to rest more."

Uesugi Sumiko shook his head. He was a little surprised that Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't respond, so he stopped playing around and told her the current situation honestly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded calmly, put out the cigarette in her hand, stretched, and then spoke slowly.

"It's up to you to figure this out. I can't help you with anything. Just come to class if you can. After all, this kind of youthful campus life only happens once in a lifetime."

Uesugi Sumiko did not refute. After all, Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression, which looked as if she had seen through everything in the world, was indeed very interesting. So he just nodded and asked casually when he was about to walk out of the office.

"Then teacher, you have enjoyed your youth, right? Why haven't you enjoyed it yet..."

Uesugi Cheng subconsciously left this question, the answer of which he knew without even thinking about it, and turned and left.

"You brat!!! Stop right there!!! Even if you want to escort me, I will make you lose some skin today!!!"

Ignoring the roar behind him, Uesugi Cheng suddenly felt that his own moral standards were quite abstract. After all, the smile had now shifted from Hiratsuka Shizuka's face to his.

The classmates in the class felt that Uesugi Cheng's arrival was a little strange. After all, Uesugi Cheng had been absent for many more days than he had been in class in the past few weeks. Of course, some people were not surprised by this, for example...

"Acheng, you actually came to school? I thought you were hiding from those people at home today as well."

Yotsuya Miko was biting a piece of bread. She woke up late again this morning because she dreamed of the painting again. She saw the painting of Uesugi Sumika very clearly, so she didn't have any nightmares. There was only one doubt that kept lingering in her mind, but she didn't have the chance to ask Uesugi Sumika.

"From the look on your face, I know you have something in mind. Ask me."

Uesugi Sumire did not answer Yotsuya Miko's question, but directly pointed out her true thoughts.

"Ah, that's right. Um... Ah Cheng, can you tell me who that 'Ryoshu' is? That's definitely not the Yoshishu in the book, right? I saw it. You didn't draw it according to the Yoshishu described in the book at all."

Yotsuya Miko's words made Uesugi Cheng sweat on his back. This question was indeed difficult for him to answer. Should he tell Yotsuya Miko that the prototype of "Yoshihide" was his current boss? And then tell her that this painting was actually a painting of his boss's dark history?

Uesugi Cheng tried his best to eliminate this possibility from his mind and considered his words.

"It's a completely different person from the original. I can't tell you who it is. Oh, by the way... can your eyes see so clearly?"

I tried my best to change the subject, but fortunately Yotsuya Miko didn't care about it. She was already satisfied after asking the question, and the answer was not that important to her.

"Yeah, maybe it's the benefit of learning all that knowledge from you, Cheng. I'm getting clearer and clearer about spirits and other things."

"No, the Silence Spell doesn't have that effect... Jianzi, your eyes might be more powerful than I thought."

Uesugi Sumire shook his head. Yotsuya Miko's eyes came out of nowhere, and even the increased power of those eyes was inexplicable.

The awakening of the Yin-Yang eyes is either at birth or due to acquired stimulation, but Yotsuya Miko said that she could see evil spirits just by waking up from a sleep.

Moreover, most people need to practice constantly to enhance the effect of the Yin-Yang Eyes, but it doesn't seem like Yotsuya Miko is practicing her eyes now.

Of course, these are not things that can be answered in a short time, so Uesugi Cheng just wrote down the question first, then took out the book "The Seventh Sound" and started studying it as if no one was around.

"This seemingly plausible story... is really a continuation of the same lineage."

The school bell rang at noon, and Uesugi Sumiko closed his book and sighed as he digested the knowledge he had just learned.

【Confusing Fable】: "The moth, the Holy Grail, and the reverse-hatched egg each tell a story about the origin of the world. One of the stories is the oldest, but it may not be the original."

Chapter 225 Study Session.

"This man kept talking about those people in the Roost, and even said that the Beach Crow spied on the two witches... How did he survive to finish writing this book?"

Uesugi Cheng put the book down and muttered to himself. The content of "The Seventh Sound" was so explosive that he had already begun to repeatedly think about who else the book referred to.

[Seventh Tone]: Miss Luanbei passionately kisses Miss Yinzhu, distracting Lord Kuihai and completely unaware that Master Xique has fled with the band's savings... When Miss Youmou's family insults her dress, the band's career almost ends in disaster - she burns their house in anger. But in the end, the day is saved by Seventh Tone, and a bookseller who happens to pass by returns the band's lost music.

Anyone who is relatively familiar with Mansu would want to forget the contents of this book immediately when seeing the references to these characters. However, these have nothing to do with Uesugi Cheng. He has even drawn things like his immediate boss opening a small account, so it doesn't matter if he knows the little secrets of these bird Sichen.

The words from his mouth began to become obscure with a wonderful rhythm. After finishing the book, it was a pleasant study time. Although this Savage had never written any serious content in the book, the knowledge of the great art was not reduced at all. Uesugi Cheng was also happy to read these gossips and secrets to relax.

[Lv.3]: "Nine ways, nine perspectives": the subtle rhythm of words that open up many paths. (4 Revelation 3 quote)

Since Integrated High School gave Uesugi Cheng a lot of freedom to move around, Uesugi Cheng was happy to disappear for a while in less important classes. For example, in the next physical education class, he was ready to find a place to squat and continue reading. After all, he felt that his appearance in the physical education class would not be good news for his classmates, especially in a course that required team practice.

"Hey! What a rare guest! Have you recovered?"

Walking into the familiar art classroom, Uesugi Sumiya saw Ono Yoichi who seemed to be organizing teaching materials. He was extremely overjoyed at Uesugi Sumiya's arrival and even took the initiative to greet him.

"It's not bad for now. At least I won't faint while walking... Come to think of it, I remember I left the painting here last time."

This time, Uesugi Sumire came to retrieve the portrait he drew for Himegami Sakura. That day, he was too excited about realizing what he lacked and so he forgot the painting in the classroom. But he thought his art teacher would not just forget the painting, so he came to ask about it.

"The painting is right here. Don't forget it next time... By the way, when can we take another look at your painting?"

Yoichi Ono did not mention the idea of ​​an exhibition. After all, someone like Uesugi Sumire, whose family is not short of money, does not need to rely on exhibitions to make money. But no matter what, he wanted to take another look at the magical painting. Not only him, Yoichi Ono also knew that many people present at the time regretted that they did not take a picture of the painting with their mobile phones, or for some reason they subconsciously forgot about it, resulting in them only being able to recall it in their impressions.

But what he could recall was less than one-tenth or even one-hundredth of the beauty of the painting. He even felt that he might have been captured by the painting.

"It's probably unlikely that there will be a chance recently... Speaking of which, Mr. Ono, you should have discovered the problem, right?"

"It's okay... If it's just a quick look, I think it should be okay, right?"

He took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress his overly rapid heartbeat.

"On the contrary, if this is the case, then you absolutely cannot look at it any more..."

Uesugi Cheng sighed. Now the side effects of "Hell Transformation" have finally come to him one by one. Looking at Ono Yoichi who was in an unstable mental state in front of him, he familiarly mobilized [Quenching and Extinguishing Flame], a great technique that could soothe people's hearts. Otherwise, he was afraid that some people would want to commit suicide before painting just to turn themselves into a part of the painting.

But instead of saying more, he decided to use his paintbrush to speak. The blue color poured out from his hands, causing Ono Hiro, who was about to speak, to shut his mouth in an instant.

White and blue flow on the canvas. In fact, it is difficult for Yoichi Ono to describe why a painting with a white canvas as the base makes him feel that white is flowing, but this is the fact, heavy snow, ocean, silence... Unconsciously, he gradually calmed down and looked at the painting silently.

To be honest, if it was a homework or exam work, he thought the examiner might give it a low score, because this painting obviously has no theme, it's just the 'random' colors that tell the story...

When he came to his senses, Uesugi Cheng had disappeared, leaving only a sticky note on the drawing board.

"This painting is given to you as a thank you gift for your recommendation. Please do with it as you wish."

"Jianzi, look at me... yes, look at these things."

Uesugi Sumire sat opposite Yotsuya Miko, holding a sketchbook in his hand and placing it in front of her, asking her to identify the contents. Of course, this was not an ordinary sketchbook for distinguishing the color blind or nearsighted, but a book he had specially painted with soul essence. The traces became more and more hidden towards the end. He wanted to see to what extent Yotsuya Miko's eyes had evolved.

The result was somewhat beyond his expectations. Even without special training and cultivation, Yotsuya Miko's eyes were very good. The speed at which her clairvoyance ability grew was somewhat beyond his imagination. Such eyes appeared on an ordinary high school girl. Uesugi Sumiko felt that the joke the world played was a bit too black humor.

"In that case, Jianzi... you may need to learn one more subject. Spirit communication alone is not enough to protect you. You must learn how to deal with evil spirits."

Yotsuya Miko felt her eyes go dark after hearing this. The Silence Technique plus her high school studies alone almost made her so tired that she had to get up early and stay up late, wishing that one hour would be two hours. If she added another subject...

Although she thought so in her heart, Yotsuya Miko did not show any sadness on her face and agreed with a smile. So, lighting techniques were added to her learning list.

That was how the first study session was held in the library room. It was not only to make up for the lessons for the final exams, but also for his assistants to learn the mystical knowledge.

Chapter 226: Saki Kawasaki’s commission.

"Although I do need to make up for the final exam, why do I have to learn these things? These are not what a high school girl should learn, right?"

Saki Kawasaki touched her light blue high ponytail. The frequent disappearance and reappearance of Uesugi Sumire in this period did cause many people to discuss what he was doing. However, Saki Kawasaki did not care about these. After all, after seeing the monsters hidden in the dark side of the world, she did not care about her classmates' good or bad speculations about the relationship between her and Uesugi Sumire.

After all, Uesugi Cheng was really generous, and although his requests were sometimes dangerous, they were never excessive, except for this time...

"Do you think an ordinary high school girl would fight evil spirits with a baseball bat?"

Uesugi Saki's words deflated Kawasaki Saki, and she obediently opened the textbook in front of her. Uesugi Saki did a very good job in explaining the knowledge taught in school, so she had time to learn this thing... the subject called [Preservation Technique] by Uesugi Saki.

【Preservation】: Healing and restoration. A humble wisdom, at least for those who never question why the world still exists.

Why her? Saki Kawasaki also asked this question. After all, a character like her who looks like a gangster doesn't seem like the type of person who would learn things that a nanny in a game should learn.

The answer I got was: "A person with high combat power like you must learn how to protect yourself. You really only have one life. Once you die, you are really dead. There is no such thing as resurrection, so protecting your own life is the first priority."

"Then I see their textbooks seem to be a little different?"

"Don't you realize that you have the best physical fitness among this group of people? Do you understand what I mean?"

Uesugi Cheng's words silenced Kawasaki Saki. Wasn't this telling her that she might have to be at the forefront in the future? Kawasaki Saki helplessly lay down on the table, then stretched and got up again, deciding to shoulder the important task that Uesugi Cheng had given her.

"What a ruthless statement..."

Hikigaya Hachiman complained that the situation of his soul was becoming more and more strange. The separation between that piece of soul and him was obviously getting closer and closer to complete separation, but his control over the torn part of his soul did not decrease at all, and he did not have any sequelae of soul split. His only problem recently was that he often had nightmares because of Uesugi Sumika's painting.

Yukinoshita Yukino gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. To be honest, it was not the first time that she had experienced the feeling of her worldview collapsing, but it was the first time that knowledge and teaching materials that completely shattered her worldview appeared in front of her.

"all these are……"

"Yes, these are things that you need to understand and apply. If you really can't, how about you just treat it as another kind of science?"

Uesugi Sumire answered before Yukinoshita Yukino finished her question. He had seen this expression on her face many times. After all, not everyone can immediately accept such a systematic knowledge.

"No...it's okay. I'll try my best."

Yukinoshita Yukino rubbed her eyes and tried hard to put aside her distracting thoughts. She had to say that this small room was much better than the empty classroom where the service club was located. Both the lighting and the flow of people were definitely more comfortable than over there.

Of course, the Service Club is now thriving, except for the fact that it seems that the Service Club is about to be swallowed up by Uesugi Cheng's club, which focuses on supernatural research. After all, even the club leader is now sitting in this small room and starting to cram knowledge of the occult.

Uesugi Cheng, who was sitting in the main seat, had already taken out the three series of books from the auction house and was beginning to read the first book, "The Ecstasy of Phorculus" (Reading Requirement: 4 Revelations)

"Speaking of which, there is something I want to tell you. This is something I encountered recently while working. I'm not sure what to do, so I'm asking here."

Saki Kawasaki suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of most people present.

"It's like this. I met a colleague when I was working at a convenience store not long ago... He was a little younger than me, and he was taken in by the store owner."

When she said this, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned obviously. Anyone younger than Kawasaki Saki must be a child laborer.

"Of course she was in the same class as me, so I remember it very clearly. The girl had scars on her body, and when I asked her, she said it was caused by her family, and she didn't want to say anything else."

After hearing this, the girls present thought about it for a while, and finally it was Yotsuya Miko who spoke first.

"Could this be domestic violence..."

"In fact, if it was just domestic violence, I wouldn't be talking about it here. She said her parents believed in a very strange god and asked her to worship him too. If she didn't obey, she would be beaten."

When it comes to believing in something, everyone except Uesugi Cheng who showed a thoughtful look became serious. Even in Tokyo, there are still many various sects and various cult activities. If it is said that they have encountered a cult, then Kawasaki Saki's underage colleague may very well...

"More importantly, when I went to work yesterday, the store manager asked me if I had seen the child. He said that the child's cell phone was left in the store and disappeared..."

"What do you mean? He disappeared without even having time to take his phone?"

"Yes, normally that day she and I should have been in line together, but she was not in the store at all, so the store manager had to stand in the store with me. Actually, the only friendship between her and me is that we worked together and talked about some things, but I was still a little worried."

Saki Kawasaki seemed a little embarrassed. It was clearly none of her business but she still chose to speak out here. It could even be said that she was causing trouble for everyone.

"It's a cult... It's very troublesome to be involved with this thing. Is the phone still there?"

Uesugi Sumiya spoke up. The development of this situation could be nothing more than an accident happening to the girl, such as being caught by her family, or encountering something on the road, so she left without even taking her cell phone. Since Kawasaki Saki brought it up, he thought that this might be a good opportunity to give it a try to his assistants.

"Still in the store, although the manager said he has given up hope."

A few people simply voted and finally decided that everyone should go out and take a look at this matter. This could be considered as mutual help within the small group.
