After all, the official version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is not only troublesome to make the broth, but also requires sea cucumbers, abalone and other things that need to be soaked in advance. Without advance preparation, it is impossible to make this thing in just half a day.
In the end, the Yamada fairy was very satisfied with the meal, and even felt that it tasted better than the original version. Even Yukinoshita Yukino showed a look of surprise, but then she probably felt that she was pampering the Yamada fairy too much and might make the fairy become even more useless, but she didn't seem to be in any position to remind her, and showed a rather complicated expression.
"I'm hungry..."
After staying in the tempting fragrance for a while, Si Ji couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
There’s still some Buddha Jumps Over the Wall left over from yesterday, plus I have some raw materials for making soup stock, so I don’t have to worry about what to make for breakfast.
With such a leisurely thought in mind, Si Ji quickly finished washing up, put on a pot of rice, and then while the soup was cooking, he casually opened the system page, wanting to see if there were any good stuff in the system mall today.
[Blue Ingredient Blind Box*10 (Mysterious ingredients from the food world, although they have been pre-processed, they are still tricky to handle. If you are not careful, you will be hurt by them. Please use with caution) 1000 points]
Si Ji's eyes lit up.
This is good. Most of the ingredients from the gourmet world have strong and unique flavors. Yesterday's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall also used ingredients from the gourmet world, so it could be completed so quickly while ensuring the flavor. It just so happened that his gourmet world ingredients had not been replenished for a long time. Now he can directly replenish 10 blue quality gourmet world ingredients in one go. As a chef with level 8 cooking skills, he naturally cannot miss it.
After taking it without hesitation, Si Ji looked at the next product.
[Kempfer Bracelet (Damaged) (A magical bracelet that turns you into a woman when you wear it, but it seems to have been hit too hard and has lost its other more powerful functions besides turning you into a woman) 300 points]
This is a bit subtle.
After all, Shiki still has tools like the 'Water of the Mother Drowning Spring' that can also change a person's gender into that of a female - he once seriously considered whether to use this thing on Aki Tomoya and Sawagenga Taisuke, but in the end, considering that turning into women would not only make them completely unaware of their mistakes, but might make them feel very good, he gave up using this and instead used other means of punishment.
However, considering that this bracelet seems to be able to activate the sex change effect as long as it is worn, and can be changed back when taken off, it is very convenient. It is not just a disposable thing like the water of the Niangniang Spring. In addition, from the description, it seems that there are other functions hidden. If I can find a way to repair it, maybe I can get a magical prop that is worth the money.
So after much consideration, Si Ji decided to buy it immediately and solemnly placed it in the deepest part of the system inventory - for the time being, he had no intention of becoming a woman. Even if he wanted to, he would definitely not do it at home. He would definitely choose a safer place where he would not be easily exposed.
Then he set his sights on the last item.
[Adolescent Syndrome Notebook (a special notebook that can record five adolescent syndrome symptoms. Within a month, every time you solve or relieve a symptom of adolescent syndrome, you can get a skill blind box) 1 points]
"Adolescence syndrome? What is this..."
Si Ji curiously took out his phone and searched the name, but unfortunately he couldn't find any relevant content. Instead, a lot of content about teenage kids trying to show off themselves popped up. In addition, there were also some complaints and inquiries from adults who were worried about how to get along with their teenage children.
"Since it's called a syndrome...it should be a combination of some mental illnesses during adolescence, right?"
Shiki stroked his chin. "I feel like at most she's just a Chuunibyou like Rikka Takanashi, or a rebellious act like 'Don't wash dad's clothes with mine' that would make her old father cry with admiration..."
Of course, the system can offer such good rewards. Every time you solve or alleviate the psychological problems of an object, you can get a skill blind box. This shows that these psychological problems are obviously not easy to solve and must be quite tricky.
"But it's worth a try." Si Ji asserted.
After all, he once obtained a blind skill box, which allowed him to directly learn new skills or upgrade existing skills by level 1 after opening it.
The former is of little use, after all, the level 1 skill system items that are spawned in the mall are all sold very cheaply.
If the latter is opened, that is, the skill that you have already learned but have never been able to upgrade, it would be perfect.
What makes Si Ji feel more at ease is that this product needs points to be purchased. Although 1000 points is not a valuable commodity, it is not like the previous Pandora adjustments. The system is afraid that he will not buy it, so not only the price is all 0 points, but also a new vest that seems to have unlimited potential is given.
So without much hesitation, Si Ji took over this "Adolescence Syndrome Notebook".
Suddenly, a thick leather notebook that looked a bit like the Death Note appeared out of nowhere in Shiki's inventory.
"Let me see... um..."
After opening and carefully reading the Puberty Syndrome Notes, Si Ji suddenly realized that this thing seemed a little different from what he thought.
Currently there is only one record.
[Stone cap syndrome: The patient will gradually lose his sense of existence until his existence is forgotten by the world]
[The person who is ill: Mai Sakurajima]
The sections on the cause of the disease and treatment plan were all blank, probably because there was not much communication with the other party, so there were no corresponding records.
"Tsk, I got caught again..."
Shiki muttered.
He had always wanted to prevent any supernatural phenomena other than himself from appearing in the world, so he carefully maintained his peaceful daily life. However, he did not expect that he would still be fooled by the seemingly ordinary name of the disease "Adolescent Syndrome" compiled by the system.
Being able to eliminate your own sense of existence is nothing but a teenage problem! You are a disaster at the level of a Red World Cultist. You need to ask the Fire Mist Warriors for help!
After complaining in his heart about his age, Si Ji turned his attention to the four blank records at the back.
Thinking back to the home visit assignment that the student council president assigned to me yesterday was for exactly five people, a bad feeling suddenly came over me.
Chapter 260: Perfection Does Not Exist
Although he felt a little distressed, Shiki didn't take puberty syndrome too seriously.
Judging from the symptoms Mai Sakurajima showed in the notebook, this thing isn't very harmful and will probably only cause some effects similar to urban legends.
Although Shiki was somewhat curious about Mai Sakurajima's current situation, he had no intention of taking the initiative to look for her again.
After all, when the person just started to fall ill, he ran over to scan his face. It was hard not to make people think that he was the mastermind behind it - although in a sense, that was true.
After breakfast, Shiki ignored the noisy fairy lady and went to school with Yukinoshita Yukino.
After arriving at school, he sorted out yesterday's home visit records and submitted them to Amakusa Shino.
The latter seemed to have not expected that Si Ji would be so motivated. He had just issued the task yesterday, but one-fifth of it had already been completed today. His gaze towards him suddenly became more passionate.
Realizing something was wrong, Shiki quickly ran away, taking Vice President Kagamikawa Chloe as a shield before he could be poached by the Student Council President again.
"You don't have to be so wary of Xiao Xiao. She doesn't have any bad intentions." Walking in the corridor of the school, Kashin Chuan Kroy said to Shiki gently, "She just admires you very much."
"Yeah, what bad intentions can cats have... They will just randomly break the water cup on the table, tear down the curtains, and smother you to death in your sleep..."
Shiki muttered.
"You have too deep a prejudice against Xiao Xiao..." Senior Chloe said with a wry smile.
"I just don't want to always add extra workload. I clearly planned to enjoy a peaceful life this year, but after the spring break, I always feel that I can't calm down much."
Shiki said with a helpless sigh.
"Washimiya-kun's wish is, well, very unique." Senior Chloe carefully chose a non-offensive statement.
"Just call me salted fish. I know this myself." Shiki said nonchalantly, "If you're always so gentle, Senior Jia Shenchuan will have a very tiring life."
"It's okay, I'm used to it." The girl's smile was as gentle as usual.
"Habit doesn't mean it's right." Si Ji disagrees.
"People living in this world will always have some things that they cannot control. I am already very happy, so I can endure this level of hardship."
Kagamikawa Chloe said softly.
"Senior Jia Shenchuan... don't you have any friends?" Si Ji suddenly asked.
"Why do you say that?" Kroy Kagamikawa was stunned for a moment: "I think I still have a lot of friends."
"I mean the kind of true, heart-to-heart friend, the kind of person who can show his or her soft side and pour out his or her sorrows to Senior Jia Shenchuan when he or she is frustrated or even suffers an unbearable blow." Shiki said, "I'm afraid such a person doesn't exist."
"If possible, I don't want to experience such a terrible thing." The girl shook her head: "Why do you think so, Washimiya-kun?"
"Because everyone says that Chloe Kagamigawa is a perfect person." Shiki answered seriously: "But I know that there are no perfect people in this world. Those who seem perfect in the eyes of others are often just forcing themselves. The more perfect they appear, the harder it is to open up to others."
He said: "I have a friend who is a business genius. He can easily create business miracles that are rarely seen in ten years. He has a very high reputation among many people. People worship him like a god and have too high expectations of him. But many times, he knows that he is not as perfect as those people think. But even if he says to them, 'Treat me as a human being,' those guys will think that the god in their minds just wants to play some weird games and try hard to figure out the intentions of the god and do some ridiculous things..."
Upon hearing this, Kroy Kagamikawa couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression.
And Shiki also stopped at the right time and said to her: "Just send it here. Thank you, Senior Jia Shenchuan, for helping me get out of the way of that student council president."
"Yeah." Kagamikawa Chloe nodded, but her smile became more gentle: "Now I understand why Xiao Xiao thinks so highly of Washimiya-kun. I look forward to working with Washimiya-kun in the student union one day in the future."
"Just let me go, really."
Si Ji waved his hand lazily, then walked quickly towards the service department.
Chloe Kagamikawa stood there motionless, watching Shiki's figure disappear around the corner at the end of the corridor, then she turned around and returned to the student union office.
In the service club's activity room, Shiki was surprised to see Goto Ichiri there, but Eriri, who used to appear frequently, was not in the club room.
But it's normal when you think about it. After all, he is the ace of the Art Club. Why does it always appear in the Service Club...
"Um, um..." When Goto Ichiri saw Shiki, he stuttered and whispered, "Today... we have a live show in STARRY..."
"Is that so? Then let's stick to the old rules."
Shiki took out a Noguchi Hideyo (the man printed on the 1,000 yen bill) from his wallet and handed it to the girl. The latter accepted it respectfully, then took out a STARRY ticket from her schoolbag and presented it to Shiki with both hands.
After all, the band has officially started performing on stage. Although the requirements are not yet strict enough to be self-sufficient, they still have to share a share of the ticket money.
As for Si Ji, he would buy tickets to watch their live performances every time, so it became the so-called 'old rule'.
There was also a STARRY ticket on the table in front of Yukino Yukinoshita, which seemed to be a token of her own gratitude - even though she was so short of money, she still paid for the ticket without hesitation. Compared to her cold appearance, her heart was indeed much softer and kinder.
Although he is not a pervert, Shiki feels that the more stubborn a child is, the more worthy of bullying he is. After all, it was the other party who initiated the feud between him and the Yukinoshita family in the beginning, and later on he did not really want to completely ravage and trample Yukino into pieces, but the feeling of making her surrender was really unstoppable, although he is not a pervert.
"Come to think of it, even though you were so socially anxious in the first grade, you didn't suffer from any puberty syndrome. And even though you don't like to communicate with others, you can still go to school normally. In a sense, you may be mentally stronger than some so-called popular idols."
Si Ji couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you praising me? Uh hehe, please praise me more..." The girl laughed inappropriately and turned into a pink slime.
Chapter 261 Leaving a Record is Success
The number of home visits matched the number of entries in the Puberty Syndrome Notes, and Shiki believed that this was not simply a coincidence.
After returning home, he spread out the remaining four home visit materials one by one.
"Kasumigaoka Utaha, Kashiwazaki Sena, Oosaka Taiga... and Takanashi Rikka? The familiarity rate is 40%, which is surprisingly high."
Is it just a coincidence, or are there really people with big problems around me? Shiki feels that he should reflect on himself once in a while.
Shiki had heard about Kasumigaoka Utaha's situation from Eriri. She had been on leave from school since that incident. Although she returned to school later, she only went there sporadically. She was not like before, when she would try to be fully present even if it was inconvenient for her.
The school's information mentioned that it seemed difficult to contact Kasumigaoka Utaha during this period. Even when the school tried to negotiate directly with her parents, the reply they got was a bland answer that Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to take a break for a while. She died without even taking the step of a face-to-face meeting.
Then there was Rikka Takanashi... Is this girl also a student of Toyonosaki? Or rather, is she already a high school student? From her appearance, she looks like a junior high school student. Perhaps that's why Shiki never noticed that she was also from Toyonosaki.
From the materials provided by the school, it seems that the teacher finds it difficult to communicate with this child normally, and she has been fooled by several attempts to visit her home. She is obviously not a bad student, but she always likes to talk nonsense and say some strange things that are difficult to understand. Even if she is asked to speak properly, she will just pretend not to hear and continue to do her own thing.
However, based on the interaction between Shiki's alias Fuyuo Kishihisa and the other party, as long as you master the trick, it is not difficult to deal with Rikka Takanashi. It's just that 'Washimiya Shiki' and Rikka Takanashi have no intersection, so you need to be a little careful not to reveal any flaws during the home visit.
As for the remaining two people, Si Ji never paid much attention to them because they had no intersection in school.
It seems that Kashiwazaki Hoshina is the child of a director on the school board. I don’t know what happened to her, and she doesn’t seem to have been in school much recently. Because of her status, the teachers are not willing to force a home visit.
The school's materials said that she was suspected of being treated unkindly by her classmates. Considering that such materials often beautify the image of the school, Shiki felt that the girl named Kashiwazaki Sena was probably bullied, so she stopped coming to school. However, her father was a school director after all. Would such a child really be bullied in school?
The last one, Oosaka Taiga, is attending school normally, but she seems to have a bad reputation among students. Although she is small in stature, she is unexpectedly violent. She once beat several bad students with a wooden sword and made them cry. She is very resistant to contacting her parents, and because of her resistance, home visits have not made any progress.
"The question now is whether to 'solve it separately' or 'solve it together'."
The only thing that appears in the notebook so far is Mai Sakurajima's puberty syndrome.
Shiki couldn't be sure whether the adolescent syndrome had taken effect on all targets the moment the notebook appeared, or whether it took effect only after he observed Sakurajima Mai's current situation and recorded it in the notebook. The other people were relatively safe because they had not yet been observed by him as an observer.
If it is the former, then it would be best to investigate other people's symptoms of puberty syndrome as soon as possible, and then sort them out from severe to mild and solve them one by one.
If it is the latter, it would be better to observe and solve them one by one.
"But right now, it's not easy for me to intervene actively in Mai Sakurajima's situation. It will take at least a day or two for her to realize her situation and let her emotions ferment a little... So we still have to choose another person to try first. No, considering the efficiency and verifying the existence of the observer effect, maybe..."
It was still early for dinner, so Shiki went straight to Yamada Fairy's room.
The latter, who was wearing a white tulle long skirt that was much lighter than the Lolita skirt she wore when going out, quickly opened the door for Si Ji after hearing the knock on the door, and said in a cheerful tone, "Oh, are you finally planning to raid us at night?"
"It's not night yet, and there's no attack planned."
Si Ji sighed, then asked, "Are you still interested in a home visit like yesterday?"
The girl leaned her soft waist against the door frame, with a bit of confusion on her pretty face: "It's definitely not that I don't have interest. After all, writers never have too much material and inspiration. But even though I followed you to Mai-chan's house yesterday, I couldn't help at all, didn't I?"
"About this, there is actually something I want to verify."
Shiki said seriously: "So I hope you can come and help."
"That's no problem!" The girl patted her chest triumphantly and said proudly, "No matter what the problem is, leave it to me!"
"Then the Riemann hypothesis—"
"Math no longer exists, next!"
"Just a joke."
So Shiki took out one of the home visit materials and handed it to her: "I hope you can go to visit this child's home alone as a special envoy of the Fengzhizaki Student Union."
