Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously patted her chest, but found nothing.
"I'll take this script."
Shiki rolled up Kasumigaoka Utaha's script and casually stuffed it into his pocket.
After all, there are so many people here, and he can't just put things into the inventory blatantly. He definitely needs to take another action.
"Then according to our previous agreement, from today on, there will be no other connection between us, and I will try my best not to appear in front of you." Shiki nodded to the girl and continued in a gentle tone: "I wish you a happy life in the future, Kasumigaoka-senpai."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's smile froze on her face.
Yukinoshita Yukino was obviously a little surprised by what Shiki said. She glanced at Shiki and felt that he didn't seem to be joking. She then looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha's stunned expression and seemed to understand something.
So she wisely did not interrupt, but sat on the sofa without saying a word, and even leaned back, trying her best to reduce her presence. Next to her, Sakurajima Mai, who clearly had no sense of presence, also made a similar move.
Both of them looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and Shiki with curiosity.
"Wait a moment, I remember the agreement was that you would owe me a favor, right?" Kasumigaoka Utaha, who didn't notice their gazes, said hurriedly to Shiki.
"But didn't Senior Kasumigaoka accept it? Later, I said I would completely cut off ties with you, and you reluctantly accepted my request, didn't you?"
Si Ji answered as if it was natural. He waved his hand and said proudly, "Don't worry, I'm famous for keeping my promises!"
"Don't break your promise suddenly in a place like this!" Kasumigaoka Utaha held her forehead helplessly.
Chapter 322 It’s time to show real skills!
Under the entanglement of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Shiki had to take back his statement of drawing a clear line between them with a rather disappointed look, and instead continued to owe her a favor.
In fact, Si Ji really hates owing favors to others, especially after Qiu Ling and Wen Ping became big.
Many people thought that the most valuable thing of Maple Leaf Technology was the technical data of the Ark Reactor, but in fact only those senior people knew that the most expensive thing of Maple Leaf Technology was actually "Qiu Ling Wenping's favor".
In the industry, this thing has been regarded as something magical, comparable to dragon balls that can fulfill people's wishes.
After all, Si Ji knew very well how important the word "reputation" was in the business world, so sometimes even if he would suffer a little loss, he would choose to abide by the agreement and add to his own reputation. Ultimately, his personal credit and the reputation of Maple Leaf Technology were guaranteed like a golden signboard.
Before, as soon as he gave an order, a bunch of forces who were willing to be dogs ran out to bite the Shinomiya family. It was precisely because of this that they did suffer a heavy loss afterwards. After all, many of the Shinomiya family's industries were meaningless to Siji. Instead, they would only make Maple Leaf Technology bloated. Feeding them as dog food was actually a waste utilization.
It is precisely because of this that Maple Leaf Technology's reputation in the business world has risen again, becoming unique, and "Qiu Ling Wenping's favor" has become a rare dream product that can only be encountered by chance...
If those powerful business tycoons knew that their favors were so easily obtained by a little girl, they would probably be so jealous that they would bite their dentures to pieces.
"Then I'll leave first."
Shiki gave Sakurajima Mai a look and prepared to leave.
Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly said, "I was asked by Sawamura to continue chatting with Kasumigaoka-senpai."
Shiki was stunned for a moment, then realized that Yukinoshita Yukino was sitting next to Sakurajima Mai. Considering that Yukinoshita couldn't see Sakurajima Mai, she might have thought that Shiki's seductive eyes were directed at her.
Shiki didn't know how to explain, so he could only leave Kasumigaoka Utaha's house awkwardly with Sakurajima Mai.
"Are you really not going to follow?" Seeing Shiki walking out of the porch, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked Yukinoshita Yukino.
In fact, it was not only Yukino who misunderstood, but even Shiwa, who also saw Shiki's glance, misunderstood.
"There's no need or reason for that." Xueno withdrew her gaze from the entrance and shook her head gently: "I can't stay by his side..."
"I just don't understand your relationship."
Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head, and then she showed a charming smile on her face: "It's still early anyway, why don't we continue chatting for a while? I think it might be easier to build relationships by saying bad things about someone behind his back like other girls do."
"I'm not familiar with Washimiya-kun, so if you want to get any information about him from me, you may be disappointed." Yukino said lightly.
"I don't have that intention," Kasumigaoka Utaha spread her hands, "Also, judging from your interaction just now, it doesn't seem like you're 'unfamiliar' with each other at all..."
The words are divided into two parts.
On the street outside Kasumigaoka's house, Shiki and Sakurajima Mai were walking towards the train station.
Suddenly, Si Ji stopped and took out the script from his pocket: "Here, take this."
"Can't I put it on your side?" Sakurajima Mai asked doubtfully: "The pockets of the sailor uniform are very shallow, and it may not be able to fit this..."
"My journey ends here. I can't help you any more." But Shiki shook his head and said seriously, "Now you have to take a bus to Mengya Family by yourself and then find a man named Haruta Masaki."
"But……"
Mai Sakurajima didn't expect Shiki to suddenly abandon the responsibility halfway, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
She really wanted to ask, what should she do if the other person couldn't see her?
But Si Ji seemed to have predicted her question and said, "That guy and I are the same kind of people. Since I can see you, he can definitely see you, so there is no need for me to follow him... But to be honest, the final outcome of this plan still depends on you."
"I..." The girl looked confused.
"That's right. What we think is meaningless. What matters is what you think." Shiki nodded, and then stuffed the script into the girl's hands again: "Go. Let the world realize again that there is a girl named Sakurajima Mai who exists here."
Mai Sakurajima was half-pushed and half-reluctantly took the script written by Utaha Kasumigaoka and slowly walked into the tram station (she was stuck at the ticket gate because the instrument couldn't recognize her). Before entering the station, she turned around and looked at Shiki who was standing outside, smiling at her as if to encourage her.
The girl pursed her lips, made up her mind, and walked quickly to the tram platform.
After confirming that he could not see the other person, Si Ji immediately turned around and trotted to a nearby alley, took out his luxury car from the inventory, completed his transformation in the car, and stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
The reason why he suddenly said goodbye to Mai Sakurajima and let her go to the next location alone was not only to let her experience the feeling of loneliness again so that she would subconsciously get closer to people who could see her, but also to prevent his own identity from being exposed so easily.
After all, if I go to Moeya Family's agency with the other party, no matter how I switch back and forth between the two identities, there might be a risk of messing up and being exposed. In this case, it would be better to limit my appearance to only one pseudonym.
The reason why he was in such a hurry was simple.
——We must get to Moe Family’s office before the train arrives!
After all, in most cases, the speed of trams is obviously higher than the speed limit of urban roads.
Fortunately, the tram does not go directly to the Mengya Family office in one stop. There are several stations on the way. Si Ji drove at a fast speed and reached the office while barely avoiding speeding.
"I don't have any drag racing skills, but I still managed to drift through the gutter. I am worthy of this... It's a pity that there are no five consecutive hairpin turns in the city."
Mumbling a little and bragging about his driving skills, Shiki... oh no, it was Haruta Masaki who easily arrived at the Moe family before Sakurajima Mai.
After saying hello to the assistants he had hired from the agency and a few idols who had no announcements today, he returned to his office amid the inquiring looks of "This guy actually went to work today?!", and patiently waited for his prey to come while opening the skill blind box.
Chapter 323: A Heart-breaking Song
Shiki first used the 'training voucher' on his current self, Haruta Masaki.
Then I got a '3rd level martial arts' expertise skill.
He opened the skill description and found that martial arts skills seemed to be a general term. After the skill level was improved, two schools would be derived: martial arts (performance) and martial arts (actual combat).
To be honest, he was not particularly satisfied. After all, martial arts, whether for performance or actual combat, were not of much use to Si Ji at this time.
But it is better to have something than nothing, and it is good enough to be able to keep fit.
The good thing about expertise skills is that you can upgrade them through training. 'First of All' should be a skill derived from the martial arts (actual combat) school. If you practice more, you may be able to derive more practical skills such as 'Mind's Eye'.
And compared to training vouchers, Siji is actually more interested in skill blind boxes.
After all, although he was not very satisfied with the skills that came out of the last blind box, it also proved that some supernatural skills can be opened in the blind box. Isn't this much better than martial arts that still need to be practiced slowly?
He opened the Puberty Syndrome Notebook and first chose Kashiwazaki Sena's skill blind box to open.
Accompanied by a burst of purple light, a new translucent screen appeared in front of Shiki.
[Obtained the skill 'Spiritual Summoning Technique': After making a contract with the target, you can bite your finger and make seals in the order of Hai - Xu - You - Shen - Wei, and summon the target to your side by consuming chakra or similar energy.]
[Bonus: Contract Scroll]
"Oh!"
Si Ji's eyes lit up, and a scroll with a green cover immediately appeared in his hand.
The inside of the scroll is almost empty. It is similar to the scroll of the Toad Clan in the Naruto animation. However, from Shiki's perspective, his position is closer to the Toad's side. The person who signs or seals on the scroll will be contracted by him, instead of him signing or sealing...
No matter what, compared to the "thick fat" that only makes oneself roasted more fragrant, it is obvious that this time the spiritual technique is much more useful.
Although there are no summoning beasts for him to summon in reality, and he is too lazy to spend time training a dog to be a ninja dog, so the scroll does not have a suitable contract object, but this is only temporary.
You should know that living creatures have appeared in the system mall before, although only once, but this means that the system mall is not only filled with dead things, there will also be some strange creatures on the shelves.
——As for the creatures that were put on the shelves that time, not to mention that Shiki was short of money at that time, even if he had been extremely wealthy and had countless influence points to spend, he probably wouldn't have bought that thing called Gatanjea...
Anyway, who knows when a Pikachu will appear in the system mall? Wouldn't this summoning technique be useful then?
Moreover, the system doesn't seem to stipulate that the psychic technique can only be used to contract with animals, so it should be possible to contract with humans, right?
Shiki looked through the knowledge about spiritualism that the system directly printed into his brain, and did not find any taboos in this regard, so he decided that no matter whether it would succeed or not, he would let the Yamada fairy sign it first, and who knows if it would have miraculous effects in the future.
With a good start, Si Ji immediately turned his attention to the treasure chest pattern on Kasumigaoka Utaha's page and chose to open it without hesitation.
The next moment, blue and white light filled the entire office. After the initial dazzling moment, Si Ji immediately looked at the newly appeared translucent screen.
[Obtained the skill 'Backflip (Master Level)': Your backflip is flawless, no one can compare with you in the field of backflips, your backflips will always be at the level of Dugu Qiubai, the highest point is lonely! Even if you are old and your waist is stiff, this skill will not disappear or deteriorate. ]
"Ah this..."
Although it looks impressive, isn't it still a backflip?
Unless there is an international backflip competition in the world, what is the point of this skill? Tell a girl that your cat can do backflips, lure her home, and then do a backflip while meowing for her?
"I knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha was unreliable..."
Si Ji closed the notebook with a curse, threw it into the inventory, and closed all the system pages.
☆
"Heh..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha sneezed.
"Have you caught a cold?" Yukinoshita Yukino, who had already reported the situation to Eriri and was about to leave, asked.
"No," Kasumigaoka Utaha sniffed and showed a suspicious expression: "I suspect someone is saying bad things about me..."
"Are you too sensitive?" Yukino said casually.
"No, you don't understand."
Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head: "Those girls in school who have no breasts and are jealous, when they find that the boys they like always look at my chest, they will gather together and say bad things about me behind my back."
Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."
Sorry, she really doesn't understand because she can't empathize with me.
☆
Masaki Haruta's office is located at the deepest part of the entire office, and it also has floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that provide excellent lighting, just like the standard villain boss.
Except that the display cabinet next to it is not filled with various high-end liquors with foreign words on them, but is filled with toys of the U149 members, the entire magnificent office can be said to be full of luxury.
When Mai Sakurajima walked through most of the office and came to this office, and saw Masaki Haruta who seemed to be bathed in daylight because of the Tyndall effect, it should have been like a brave man walking through the long corridor of the Demon King's Castle and facing the Demon King in the final audience hall, with a special sense of solemnity and ritual.
But Shiki still miscalculated a little - because no one else could see Mai Sakurajima, and in this luxurious office building filled with various subsidiaries or departments of Maple Leaf Technology, the girl couldn't even ask for directions and got lost in the maze-like building.
By the time the girl finally found the sign of '萌芽famliy agency', followed the map to find the floor where the agency was located, and finally arrived at Haruta Masaki's office after passing all the levels, it was already dusk.
The originally bright sky outside the window was torn into two halves. The eastern half had become the night sky, while the western half was left with only a little golden light on the horizon, surrounded by large patches of sunset glow, as if they were the ashes left by the gorgeous fire clouds two hours ago.
The young man with green hair, who should have been bathed in the sunlight and looked solemn and holy, now had only the pitiful and scattered dim light of the afterglow on his body. He looked inexplicably sad, as if "the sun sets and the heartbroken person is far away."
——Especially since this guy was playing a heart-breaking song on the erhu, he looked even more miserable.
Chapter 324: All five senses are considered healthy only when they are used
"Um, is that Mr. Haruta?"
Mai Sakurajima tried to ask with some trepidation.
Even with Si Ji's assurance, she didn't dare to believe that the other party could see her, so she was mentally prepared for the worst.
What was beyond her expectation was that the other party actually put down the erhu in his hand.
As the girl was looking at him expectantly, she found that he was not looking at her. He just stood up, took a disposable cup and ran to the water dispenser to pour water.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Mai Sakurajima still couldn't help feeling lost when faced with such a reality.
As a result, before she could recover from the empty mood, the other party placed the purified water on the coffee table in front of the guest seat instead of on the desk.
Could it be that he gave this to me? Sakurajima Mai suddenly felt excited again.
"Really? It's already this late and Xia Shi hasn't come back yet." The green-haired young man looked at the standing clock on the wall and said in a deep voice.
