You say this is a love game?

Mizutani Makoto felt that he must be extremely handsome at this moment.

The afternoon sun makes people feel warm.

The boy stood in front of the intersection very calmly, looking up at the sky with a helpless expression, while a little kid hugged his waist tightly and burst into tears.

"I want to repay you, big brother..."

"I'm really amazing. I can bring good luck to big brother. I can make big brother very healthy..."

"Big brother is very good to me, I also want to be better to him, woo woo..."

No more.

Mizutani Makoto shook his head.

He doesn't lack a shikigami called "Zashiki-warashi".

However, Yasuhiko Satori and Harukako Satori are missing a daughter named "Kako Satori".

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Chapter 054: The Corpse of Yoshiko Satori

Mizutani Makoto walked out of the alley with his hands in his pockets.

He looked up at the sky. The crisscrossing power lines above the alley were dyed orange and pink by the twilight, looking a bit like taffy.

Wow, I’m in a really good mood and everything looks beautiful.

"Time to call it a day." He rubbed his shoulders.

Just now, he took advantage of the fact that Yasuhiko Satori and Harukako Satori had not returned home yet and sent Yoshiko Satori to the house where they lived.

Tonight, Yoshiko Satori will probably have to wait a little longer.

I guess we have to wait until tomorrow?

After Yasuhiko Satori and Harukako Satori have resolved the issue at the hospital, they return home to find a cute Zashiki-warashi waiting for them.

Can they accept the reality that their daughter is dead?

But their daughter is still with them, so I think the young couple can get some comfort.

Mizutani Makoto chuckled, kicked the can at the entrance of the alley, and the aluminum can hit the electric pole with a clanging sound. He then walked towards home alone.

On the horizon, the fiery clouds spread out like ink, with orange, red and purple and blue interwoven, which was beautiful beyond words.

Most of the pedestrians are in a hurry to go home, but there are also couples strolling leisurely on the paths in the park. The outlines of the high-rise buildings appear much softer in the sunset, and the glass curtain walls reflect the rosy glow of the sky, making it look surprisingly bright.

Mizutani Makoto's focus is quite practical.

The rays of sunlight filtered through the branches of the camphor tree and happened to hit the window of the convenience store across the street. A girl in a cashier's uniform stood bored behind the register, her eyelashes gilded in the afterglow.

Makoto Mizutani felt that it was time to listen to a song.

He searched in his pocket and found the earrings were still stuffed in his coat. He put them on and started his revelry.

"You said you didn't want to be here!?"

"I don't want to be here either!?"

Accompanied by the exciting music in his headphones, Mizutani Makoto slowly left the convenience store.

He won't have lunch tonight.

"Let's go to a restaurant and reward ourselves with a good meal."

On the way, Mizutani Makoto also studied the gains of his trip with great interest.

I originally wanted to see the kimono I was given as a reward.

But while investigating his backpack, he discovered that his amulet had changed.

【The relationship between Yoshiko Satori and Yoshiko Satori】

Description: A girl feels deep loneliness and fear, but someone reaches out to her in the darkness, finally bringing her peace through pure kindness and warmth. Filled with longing, she hides her own small remains within the charm, wishing to bestow luck and happiness upon this person. The wearer gains a +3 bonus to Luck, and Satori Yoshiko locks onto the wearer's coordinates.

【Comment: Big brother, please hug me, we are no longer alone. 】

[Special Note: This item is exclusive to "Mizutani Makoto" and will not be effective if worn by others.]

"..."

As he walked, Mizutani Makoto stopped.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he took out the amulet from his pocket.

The small purple sachet originally contained a wooden board from the temple, but in the last change, it was replaced by flower petals and hair by Satori Yoshiko. And in this third change, the hair and petals inside seemed to have turned into something even more terrifying.

Young skeleton?

The scene that happened last night flashed through Mizutani Makoto's mind.

He held Satori Yoshiko's body in his arms, and the girl returned the favor with the same gentle and warm embrace.

He said he heard everything.

He would not let Yoshiko feel lonely again.

I never expected that the promise would be fulfilled in this way.

No wonder when he asked about Kako's body this morning, the girl stammered and said she had taken care of it. He didn't ask any further questions, but he didn't expect that Kako had stuffed her body into his amulet.

It really is a physical sense of sticking.

Mizutani Makoto rubbed the amulet in his hand.

I could feel as if there was a small glass ball placed inside, and it felt round when I touched it through the brocade bag.

Out of respect for Satori Yoshiko, Mizutani Makoto gave up the idea of ​​taking a look.

"So it means positioning at any time..."

"never mind."

"She's also a poor child, so it's normal for her to be dependent. As for whether or not to equip it... the +3 luck value has been corrected, so this minor flaw is nothing."

Just happened to be on the street.

Makoto Mizutani went to a nearby grocery store, bought a thin string, and wore the amulet around his neck as a pendant.

--Perfect.

Next one.

【Zashiki-warashi's Kimono】

Description: The dark black kimono, stained by the tears and resentment of the Zashiki-warashi, and the karamatsu, a symbol of auspiciousness and elegance, have become increasingly magnificent, but they no longer bring luck and happiness to others.

[Comment: Look at the flowers on her cuffs. Doesn't it look like the makeup she smudged when she tried to wipe away her tears?]

[Special Note: This item is exclusive to Zashiki-warashi and allows Zashiki-warashi to enter the "reverse zashiki" position.]

"Um……"

It turned out to be Jiazi’s after-sales service.

But it's Zashiki-warashi's exclusive equipment... We can't ask him to find another Zashiki-warashi to be a Shikigami, right?

Oh, let’s put it aside for now. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll give it to Kako as a gift.

As for the "small forging stone", this thing is used to strengthen equipment. He hasn't even found the old blacksmith yet, so there's nothing much to say.

The only thing left for Mizutani Makoto to do was to allocate free attribute points.

Free attribute points are used to improve basic attributes other than charm.

Once the basic attribute points except charm are filled up, the excess free attribute points can also be converted into spiritual power points.

That's good.

As mentioned before, the core of Tongzi's attribute panel must be the ability to amplify three-dimensional "spiritual power".

But no matter how much the increase is, the investment in basic attributes seems to be a loss, but if you think about it carefully, it will be clear - when it comes to laying the foundation, you can't lose no matter how you invest.

As for how to add some points, Mizutani Makoto has already made arrangements.

"Full strength!"

what!

Yes, I am a samurai!

So in Mizutani Makoto's attribute panel, three attributes have changed so far.

【Power: 4→6】

[Physical Strength: 4→5]

[Spiritual Power: 1→5]

Strength and spiritual power are added points, while the change in physical strength is because Yoshiko infused him with vitality, which also included the vitality plundered from killing Hosokawa Toshiya. This allowed Mizutani Makoto, who was already actively exercising, to finally make some progress in physical strength.

As for why full strength?

It's because of his excellent skills.

This brings us to the uniqueness of the "two-day and one-class" program.

In Japan, Kendo is a traditional martial art that has been around for a long time, but Two-Sword Style has never become mainstream.

It is true that Miyamoto Musashi was a sword saint of his generation, but since him, there has been no famous two-sword master. Even his apprentices did not become famous. The two-sword school was completely defeated by the single-sword school.

The combination of two swords, one attack and one defense, sounds wonderful.

But the ancients were not stupid. If two-sword style could be mastered through hard work and practice, Japanese kendo would not have been practiced with two-handed swords until now.

As it turns out, Niten Ichiryu is more like Miyamoto Musashi's personal glory.

His swordsmanship is something that most people cannot learn at all; it is a matter of "talent".

What talent?

I was born with supernatural powers!

Looking back, the average height in Japan at that time did not exceed 160cm.

What about Miyamoto Musashi?

He is a tall warrior over 170cm tall, and a freak famous for his "super strength". He can wield the katana with one hand while ordinary swordsmen hold it with both hands.

I believe that the smart kids have guessed that there is a very important prerequisite for this "two days and one class" to perform well in actual combat.

That’s right—super strength.

If someone comes at you with a sword held in both hands, can you block it with a katana held in one hand?

Miyamoto Musashi can do it!

He held a katana in one hand and a small katana in the other. Ordinary samurai needed to hold the weapons with both hands, but he held one in each hand and swung them like a windmill. Even a two-handed sword holder could not block his sword strike. His stomping on the ground and his war roars could scare the robbers to death.

During the Warring States period and Edo period when the average Japanese person was dwarfed, he was like a living god of war.

How could ordinary warriors stop such a powerful and terrifying demon? And how could they stop him?

Niten Ichiryu, before talking about its essence, if you want to reach the level of Miyamoto Musashi in combat, you must have extraordinary strength.

Makoto Mizutani has thoroughly mastered Niten Ichiraku's theoretical approach.

He even suspected that neither of these two masters needed a kodachi, and that Musashi had left a way out for future generations. If it were Musashi himself, he would probably be able to wield two katanas just as well.

So Mizutani Makoto reflected on his mistakes.

His current second-rate first-class status is just lacking a little bit of essence.

He also wants to try out his natural supernatural powers!

"I have a small goal, first I want to increase my strength to full."

Add points to your full strength!

It's all about playing to the limit.
