Anime: Stealing Yukino's knee-high socks, and being blocked by Yangno

When she reached the door, Sagiri suddenly stopped hesitantly and looked back in the direction of the mansion: "Are we really going?"

"Huh? What's wrong? Are you scared?" Su Mo stopped walking 963 steps and looked back at her with a smile.

Sagiri lowered her head slightly and whispered, "I... just wonder if that vengeful spirit... is very scary..."

"Of course it's scary!" Su Mo still smiled, his tone relaxed: "But with me here, what are you afraid of?"

Sagiri pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded and followed the team.

Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing. Su Mo always walked in front, occasionally looking back at a few people to make sure they were keeping up.

Yamada Fairy and Erina kept arguing about who was braver along the way, while Shiyu would occasionally interject and tease them, while Sagiri followed silently behind them, carefully hiding behind Su Mo.

Soon, they came to an abandoned factory that was said to be full of resentment.

There was an uncomfortably chilly air in the air, and the factory gate creaked as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Wow, this place looks spooky..." Yamada Fairy crossed his arms and said calmly, "I'm not afraid, I just think it's a bit cold here!"

"Alright, stop being so stubborn!" Su Mo patted her shoulder and motioned for her to stand further away. "You guys just wait outside. I'll go in and take care of it!"

"We're not afraid! We want to see how you exorcise ghosts!" Erina was not willing to be outdone. She stood at the door and grabbed Su Mo's sleeve tightly.

Su Mo smiled helplessly: "Then stand further away, don't get too close, so as not to accidentally hurt someone!"

The women retreated outside the door, their eyes fixed on Su Mo's figure.

He stepped into the factory, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became more oppressive.

Su Mo stood calmly, clasped his hands together, and spiritual power quickly gathered around him. A low roar was faintly heard in the air.

Suddenly, a shadow jumped out from the corner, the figure of the vengeful spirit was looming, and the temperature around it dropped suddenly.

Su Mo calmly waved his hand, and a powerful spiritual wave burst out. The figure of the vengeful spirit was instantly shattered, but it did not disappear completely. Instead, it rushed towards Su Mo even more frantically...

"Wow!" Sagiri outside couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and hugged Shiyu tightly with both hands.

"It's okay, Su Mo will be fine!" Although Shiyu comforted Sagiri, she couldn't help but stare at the movements in the factory nervously.

Su Mo was not at all panicked. Spiritual power quickly enveloped his whole body. His eyes flashed with a faint light and a relaxed smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

With a wave of his hand, a powerful barrier rose up instantly, completely trapping the vengeful spirit.

"It's over!" Su Mo said softly. The vengeful spirit let out a final roar in the barrier, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

After Su Mo 5.4 walked out of the factory in a dashing manner, the girls' eyes were still following him closely.

Sagiri was the first to react. She came up to him and whispered, "Su Mo, you were so amazing just now! That vengeful spirit was so terrifying, but you dealt with it in no time..."

Su Mo raised his hand and gently rubbed her head, then said with a smile, "This is just a small thing.

The truly terrifying thing is yet to come!"

Chapter 118 I'm Not Weak! I Can Help Too!

"Ah? Is there something even scarier?" Upon hearing this, Sagiri immediately widened her eyes and her breath rose into her throat with nervousness.

She shrank back slightly, and her steps became hesitant.

"Of course there is, but you don't have to worry!" Su Mo saw that she was very scared, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything!"

"Hmph, Su Mo, you always say that, but you end up rushing ahead alone, without any need for us at all!" Yamada Fairy came over from the side, arms folded across his chest. Although there was some dissatisfaction in his words, his eyes revealed appreciation.

"Because you guys are still too weak!" Su Mo teased, turning around and looking at the women behind him: "But it's not like I can't let you help out in the future, as long as you're not afraid of danger!"

"I'm not weak! I, I can help too!" Yamada Fairy raised his head, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

She clenched her fists and said seriously, "Just wait! I'll definitely be able to play in the future!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Su Mo nodded slightly, but his tone was teasing.

"By the way, Su Mo, what is the origin of this vengeful spirit?" Nakiri Erina also came over at this time, still maintaining a calm appearance, but her eyes were obviously filled with curiosity.

"Well..." Su Mo looked at her, thought for a moment, and then said lightly: "Actually, they are just some vengeful spirits that have been wandering around for a long time. They don't have any particularly powerful origins.

It may be that the accumulation of negative emotions left after the factory closed down led to the formation of such spirits.

It’s not that difficult, it’s easy to handle!”

"I see..." Erina nodded, a thoughtful expression on her face. "But if they're just ordinary vengeful spirits, why have they been appearing so frequently lately? Could it be that the enemy spirit organization is up to something again?"

"It's possible!" Su Mo shrugged, his expression still calm: "But there is not much direct evidence at the moment, so it can only be said to be speculation.

If we investigate further, we might find some clues!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha had been standing by. Seeing the heated discussion, she snorted softly and crossed her arms over her chest. "I think, whether it's a vengeful spirit or an enemy spirit master, it will all be dealt with by you, Su Mo, in the end, right? You're always so strong anyway!"

Su Mo smiled, walked over to stand next to Shi Yu, and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm very fair. I will definitely give you a chance to show your abilities next time!"

"Perform? How?" Shiyu raised her eyebrows, a playful smile on her lips: "You always protect us, what chance can I give you to perform?"

"For example... can I let you stand next to me when we fight in the future?" Su Mo said seriously.

"Tsk! You'd better save your energy!" Shiyu rolled her eyes and gently pushed him: "Then we 963 will have to hide behind you!"

"It's hard to say. Who knows when you will have an amazing performance?" Su Mo smiled easily, not taking the teasing seriously at all.

"Hehe, one day, I will surprise you!" Shiyu raised her head, her tone quite confident.

The few of them walked home talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very relaxed and happy.

Halfway through the walk, Izumi Sagiri suddenly whispered, "By the way, Su Mo... um, could you help me take a look at the illustrations I drew recently?"

"Of course, anytime!" Su Mo agreed without hesitation, a gentle smile still on his face.

Chapter 119 It’s a deal, show them to me next time!

"Well, I'll show it tonight... I've been drawing this for a long time!" Sagiri's voice was a little low, but her eyes were full of anticipation.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it!" Su Mo rubbed her head. As soon as he finished speaking, Yamada Fairy jumped out to interrupt: "Hey! Why don't you let me see it? Isn't it an amazing illustration? Sagiri, you can't hide it like this!"

"It's not that I don't let you see...it's just..." Sagiri lowered her head shyly, not daring to look into the eyes of the fairy Yamada.

"Alright, alright, it's just illustrations, right? I'll show you my manuscript when I get a chance!" Shiyu interrupted unwillingly, a confident smile on her face. "My light novel is a top-seller!"

"It's a deal then. Next time you all take them out and show them to me!" Su Mo said with a smile to smooth things over.

Everyone returned to the mansion in this way, playing and joking. When they opened the door, the air conditioner in the living room was already on, and cool air blew in their faces.

Several people changed into comfortable slippers and began to enjoy this moment of comfort.

"Hey, Su Mo, what are we having for dinner?" Yamada Fairy lazily fell on the sofa, turned to look at Su Mo and asked, "You can cook, right?"

"You're so rude!" Su Mo smiled and shook his head: "What do you want to eat? Give me a menu!"

"What can you do?" Yamada Fairy suddenly perked up, sat up, and his eyes lit up: "I want to eat meat! Lots of meat!"

"Meat? Then let me do it!" Erina, who had been standing by, was unwilling to be outdone and immediately raised her hand: "As a professional chef, I can't lose on this!"

"That's fine!" Su Mo smiled and stepped aside: "You guys can do whatever you want, I'm fine with anything I eat anyway!"

"Huh, you really are so laid back!" Erina raised a hint of pride and said confidently, "Just wait, tonight's dinner will be a top-notch experience!"

In the kitchen, Erina started to get busy, while Su Mo and a few others sat in the living room, and the sound of relaxed chatting could be heard from time to time.

As the night deepened, everything in the mansion was slowly shrouded in soft light.

In the kitchen, Erina Nakiri was cooking attentively. Her deft hands moved back and forth among the various ingredients, sometimes stir-frying them briskly, sometimes seasoning them delicately, her movements skillful and elegant.

The Yamada fairy would come over to smell it from time to time, looking greedy.

"That's amazing, Erina!" Fairy Yamada stood at the kitchen door, his hands on the door frame, looking at the busy Erina Nakiri with envy: "You are such a genius, such a delicious smell, I can smell it from several meters away!"

Erina didn't look up, but just snorted softly: "Of course, I'm the daughter of the Totsuki Zaibatsu, a genius in the culinary world, and I don't deserve the title of "God's Tongue" for nothing!"

Yamada Fairy rolled his eyes: “Okay, okay, what a narcissist.

But to be honest, I've never eaten the food you cooked before. I'm lucky to have had Su Mo cook it today!"

"Hmph, you're being honest!" Erina smiled, her tone still filled with pride. "But don't worry, today's meal (King No. 1) will definitely not disappoint you!"

"Speaking of food, I suddenly feel that the food here is really great!" Shi Yu sat on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, shaking the glass gracefully, with a faint smile on her lips: "Living here and having top-notch food every day is a real luxury!"

Su Mo casually leaned back on the sofa, glanced at Shi Yu, and said in a serious tone, "You guys are really pampered. But, I have a special status, so these are the treatments I deserve!"

Chapter 120 Su Mo, teach us some spiritual power!

"Hmph, you make it sound so easy!" Shiyu responded in a light tone, but with a mischievous smile in her eyes: "It's obvious that you are the one who enjoys it the most every time!"

"Of course, enjoying life is also a kind of ability!" Su Mo laughed and reached out to touch Izumi Sagiri's head: "Sagiri, why don't you say anything? Are you hungry?"

Sagiri was leaning cautiously against Su Mo, with a slight blush on her face, and nodded gently: "Well... I'm a little hungry, but I don't want to disturb everyone..."

"How can it be a bother?" Su Mo smiled dotingly: "You are the key protected person here. If you are hungry, just tell me directly. The delicious food will be served soon!"

When Sagiri heard these 963 words, she pursed her lips and the blush on her face deepened.

She whispered, "Then...I'll just wait and eat!"

"By the way, Su Mo, when are you going to teach me some spiritual power?" Yamada Fairy suddenly remembered something and came over with a serious look on his face: "Didn't you say before that you would teach us these basics? But you're always busy exorcising spirits and have no time to teach!"

Su Mo turned to look at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a hint of teasing: "What? Are you finally going to study seriously?"

"Of course!" Yamada the Fairy straightened his back, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. "You don't know, I've been looking forward to this for a long time! I want to be able to exorcise ghosts myself in the future, and I don't have to rely on you all the time!"

"Okay!" Su Mo nodded with a smile, and glanced at the others: "Actually, all of you can learn it. If you master spiritual power, at least you can protect yourself!"

Erina also popped her head out of the kitchen at this time, holding a spatula in her hand: "You want to teach them spiritual power? What about me? I want to learn too!"

"You? You are a genius with the Divine Tongue. You are already too busy with cooking, and you still want to learn spiritual power?" Su Mo teased her deliberately with a hint of frivolity in his tone.

"Humph, who says culinary geniuses can't learn spiritual powers?" Erina said unconvincedly, "I want to learn faster than them!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. I'll start teaching after we finish eating.

Don't accuse me of being partial!" Su Mo smiled helplessly: "No one will be left behind!"

As they were talking, Erina's dish was already served.

On the dining table, exquisite dishes exuded rich aroma and were neatly arranged on porcelain plates. Each dish looked like a work of art.

Erina brought the last dish over, clapped her hands, and said confidently, "Alright, let's eat. I prepared this meal carefully, everyone should enjoy it!"

"Wow! It smells so good!" Yamada Fairy's eyes lit up. She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. She immediately exclaimed in satisfaction, "Oh my God, Erina, your cooking skills are amazing! I feel like I've been healed!"

"Of course!" Erina smiled proudly, sat down, and elegantly picked up a piece of fish: "This is just my usual level!"

Sagiri also took a bite carefully, then immediately covered her mouth with her hands, eyes full of amazement: "Good, so delicious... It's really delicious!"

"See, I told you I wouldn't let you down!" Erina looked at everyone with satisfaction, as if this meal was her victory.

Su Mo watched all this with a smile, and suddenly reached out to pinch Erina's cheek, teasingly saying, "That's really amazing! It seems we'll all be relying on you for support from now on!"

Chapter 121 Don’t be nervous, just relax!

Erina was pinched by him and her face instantly turned red, but she still said unyieldingly: "You...you don't rely on me for support! I just let you enjoy my cooking skills occasionally!"

Everyone chatted and laughed while eating, and the atmosphere at the table was extremely harmonious.

After dinner, Su Mo gathered everyone in the living room and began to explain the basics of spiritual power.

"Spiritual power is not as mysterious as you think. As long as you understand its principles, you can control it well!" Su Mo sat on the sofa, spread his hands, and a faint spiritual power instantly flowed in his palms.

"Wow, so magical!" Yamada Fairy's eyes lit up and he immediately came over, staring at Su Mo's palm.

"Don't just watch, learn to feel its flow!" Su Mo smiled gently and took the spiritual power back into his palm: "The essence of spiritual power is to control the energy of nature. As long as you relax and concentrate, you can feel it!"

"Really?" Sagiri looked at him doubtfully, stretched out her hands tentatively, closed her eyes and began to sense.

"Don't be nervous, just relax!" Su Mo guided her softly.

Sagiri closed her eyes with a focused expression. Suddenly, a faint fluctuation of spiritual power flashed through the palm of her hand.

She opened her eyes in surprise, her tone full of excitement: "I...I seem to-feel it!"

"Not bad, you're very sensitive!" Su Mo nodded and patted her shoulder gently.

"I want to try it too!" Yamada Fairy immediately became eager to try, put his hands on his knees, and began to imitate Sagiri's movements.

"Don't be anxious, take your time!" Su Mo reminded her with a smile.
