"Use your life force to restore Mitsuko, what are you going to do!?"

She turned around, walked quickly to Morikawa Yu, her eyes filled with anger.

"I know you want her to recover faster, but you can't sacrifice yourself like this. Or are you in such a hurry for her to recover because you think I can't protect you all?"

Morikawa Yu had never seen her so angry before, and was speechless for a moment.

Mitsuko looked at him, somewhat stunned.

So, when Morikawa said he was looking for a solution, he meant this kind of solution?

Stupid!

I do need to recover, but no matter what, it's impossible to recover using your life force, right?

She was both angry and touched. She stepped forward and hugged him from behind, pressing her face against his back.

"Morikawa, you're not allowed to do such a foolish thing for me."

"In just one or two days, I can recover to the level of the One-Tailed Incarnation, which is enough to protect myself. I really don't need these."

Suddenly, a figure peeked out from outside the door.

She looked around the room with a suspicious expression, but her heart was filled with understanding.

"Master, Lady Ryoko, Lady Mitsuko, what are you doing?"

Morikawa Yu was taken aback, and the explanation she was about to give was interrupted by her.

"Your master is going to sacrifice his own life force to help Mitsuko regain her strength," Ryoko said to Shinkaku, suppressing her anger.

She remembered that this little demon was a follower of Hiigetsu and seemed to have a good relationship with Morikawa.

Talk to this little guy and let him try to persuade Morikawa.

Xin Jue's expression changed immediately: "Master, you can't!"

Morikawa Yu was even more helpless.

He broke free from Mitsuko's embrace, hugged her back, and channeled his life force into her, following the method taught by the system.

Mitsuko's expression changed as she sensed the transfer of life force and desperately shook him off.

But she also sensed that something was wrong.

Morikawa Yu shrugged: "You see, I transferred my life force to you, but my life force was not diminished at all."

"Why is this happening?" Mitsuko asked in astonishment.

"Because before I came to Kyoto, Hiyori left a mark on me to transfer her demonic power. My physique is quite special, and it seems that I can convert her demonic power into life force."

"When I transfer my life force to you, her demonic power will replenish my life force. As long as I control my speed, I will be fine."

“The truth… Master, you are telling the truth,” Xin Jue murmured, seemingly finding it hard to believe.

She used her innate ability, but the result she sensed indicated that her master was not lying.

"How is this possible?" Ryoko was also stunned.

She took two steps forward and carefully observed his condition.

But no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't sense any loss in his vitality.

"Do it again for me," she said in a trembling voice.

Morikawa Yu immediately hugged Mitsuko tightly, channeling his life force into her.

This time, Mitsuko didn't break free from him. Instead, she hugged him tightly, buried her face in his chest, and listened to his heartbeat.

After a while, Ryoko finally sighed.

"It actually works..."

"Morikawa, you are indeed special. No one has ever been able to do something like this before. You are so unique. No wonder Hiizuki took a liking to you."

No, my wife fell for me because of my unique aesthetic sense; I liked her original self.

Morikawa Yu corrected in his mind.

Ryoko, however, suddenly thought of many more things.

Vitality has always been a unique characteristic of life.

It can sustain life activities and can also be transformed into energy, vitality, demonic power, divine power, and even more. Therefore, Morikawa can use his life force to help Mitsuko recover her strength more quickly.

But she had never seen anyone who could transform demonic power into life force.

If this gets leaked, countless people will likely be watching him.

"Morikawa, don't tell anyone about this!" she said sternly.

Morikawa Yu nodded, then turned to look at her.

"Ryoko, your body... can I use my life force to sustain your life?"

He remembered that Ryoko's life was coming to an end, and he was curious whether this method could help prolong her life.

Ryoko shook her head.

“It’s different; vitality is not life.”

"I am nearing the end of my life. Even if I use my life force to maintain my life and stay alive, I will only be half-dead, which will be even more painful. It would be better to..."

"Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore." She sighed again.

"Since you have this power, then I will not stop you."

I apologize for blaming you without asking why earlier.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Morikawa Yu quickly waved his hand, feeling a little uncomfortable seeing her forced smile.

"System, is there any way to save Ryoko?" he asked the system in his mind.

Liangzi treated him very well, even better than a son. Although they weren't officially teacher and student, he had long regarded her as his true teacher.

He didn't want to see Yoshiko die before his eyes as her lifespan ended.

If only we could save Ryoko.

She's so good to me, so I'll do my best to be filial.

The system did not speak, but instead displayed a list of item information.

"Eye of Agamotto - Single Use Version: Allows the user's body to reverse time and restore youth, priced at 1000 store points; Modified Version priced at 10000 store points."

"Eye of Agamotto: Allows the user to travel through time and reverse time in an infinite loop. Price: 100000 Shop Points. Modified version: 1000000 Shop Points."

"APTX4869: A drug that induces programmed cell death and enhances telomerase activity, thereby increasing the potential for cell division. It has a high probability of being fatal and a very low probability of reverting the user's body to childhood. Price: 50 store points. Modified version: 500 store points."

"APTX4869 - Enhanced Version: An enhanced version of APTX4869, retaining only the effect of restoring the user's body to childhood. Price: 500 store points. Price for the modified version: 5000 points."

"..."

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a long time.

He originally thought the system would recommend equipment like the Time Staff, but he didn't expect it to be something more direct.

The first item is called the Eye of Agamotto, which is Doctor Strange's artifact in Marvel and is also the Time Stone among the six Infinity Stones. It can control, change, or rewind time.

However, the first one seems to be a one-time use version, which can only rewind the body's time, but it is correspondingly much cheaper, costing only 1000 points, while the applicable version costs 10,000.

A complete Time Gem costs a hundred times more.

He thought for a moment and then decided to look at the next one first.

The next item was called APTX4869. He thought for a while and finally remembered that it was the shrinking drug that Conan took in Detective Conan.

It costs 50 store points, which is very cheap, but the effect seems to only reduce the chance of it working, and more likely to cause the user to die.

However, there is also an enhanced version, which has only one effect: to restore the body to a childlike state. It costs 500 points, and even if the modification is applicable to ordinary people, it only costs 5000 points.

Compared to the Eye of Agamotto, it's half as conscientious.

If I grit my teeth, I can buy it.

He silently made a note of the item, deciding to find an opportunity to exchange it.

If there's a chance, give it to Ryoko to eat.

If Ryoko were to become a little girl like Ai Haibara, he could take care of her in return and fulfill his filial duty.

Thinking about it, I'm kind of looking forward to it.

As for her divine power, it should not be affected.

After all, the drugs only shrunk her body; her divine powers remained.

He glanced back at Ryoko and made up his mind.

"Morikawa, how are you feeling?" Mitsuko raised her head in his arms.

"It's alright," Morikawa Yu said thoughtfully.

He did not feel any discomfort; the transformation of demonic power and life force was still within his tolerance range.

"Yes, I think it's great too. My strength is recovering much faster, almost twice as fast as before. I should be able to recover to the level of the One-Tailed Incarnation by tomorrow morning."

She whispered, her face pressed against his chest, feeling an indescribable sense of peace.

Morikawa Yu considered it for a moment.

Her one-tailed incarnation is roughly equivalent to a top-tier high-ranking great demon, which is the combat power level of Asaka and her companions.

With Yoshiko dealing with the shrine maiden, practically no one can hurt her.

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this wasn't a complete loss.

Shinjue watched him hug Mitsuko and began to complain softly.

"Why do I feel like Master is trying to take advantage of Lady Mitsuko? This hug is way too intimate, isn't it?"

Morikawa Yu was startled.

Mitsuko lowered her head in his arms, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Of course she knew that hugging like this was very intimate.

But she's already with Morikawa, so why can't she hug him?

This follower of Hiiyue is just as annoying as Hiiyue herself!

Ryoko also shook her head slightly: "Morikawa isn't that kind of person."

"Lady Ryoko, you trust your master too much, don't you?" Shinkaku complained softly again, her eyes fixed on Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko, pouting her little lips.

Liangzi shook her head helplessly: "Mingjue, come out."

As she spoke, a beautiful girl with long gray hair slowly emerged from the goshuin-cho in her arms. It was none other than the Kaku clan leader, Myokaku, who had helped Morikawa Yu read Isshiki Heihachi's memories.

She looked at Morikawa Yu, her face expressionless.

"Mr. Morikawa's heart tells me that he disdains to use such despicable means to cover himself up and tarnish Lady Mitsuko."

Morikawa Yu nodded.

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.

"The big fox and I are deeply in love, perfectly matched, a match made in heaven. Even if I wanted to be intimate with her, as long as I asked properly, she wouldn't refuse..."

"That's about it."

Morikawa Yu's expression froze on her face as she slowly looked at Mingjue.

Damn, how could you say those things out loud?

Isn't this going to cause my social death?

"Ha, I just realized that my master is so narcissistic. Doesn't he ever look in the mirror and think about it? Besides my master and me, who else could possibly be interested in him?"

"Even now! Hugging and cuddling with this woman, he doesn't even think about me and my master. It's infuriating!"

Suddenly, Mingjue spoke again.

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

He immediately realized that Mingjue was reading someone else's mind.

And those who would use this term to describe themselves seem to be...
