A group of people traveled through a strange world, and I was the only one who was not a refugee.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Natsuki Mika looked at each other.

The latter replied:

"Sir, Reiko planned to be promoted to C-class Psychic Master half a month ago."

"She said it might take about three to four months, so she focused most of her energy on it."

Akita Shin raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "No wonder."

Hikigaya Hachiman hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, you know Chihiro's character... Can you spare some time to guide her?"

"Reiko is just too introverted." Natsuki Mika agreed.

Akita Shin looked at the two of them and said, "Let's talk about it after the New Year."

The Hikigaya couple breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had agreed and would definitely take it to heart in the future.

The three chatted for a while.

"Sir, we will take our leave then."

"Well, go ahead." Akita Shin nodded.

By the time the couple went downstairs, Hayasaka Ai, Shinomiya Kaguya and others had already prepared return gifts.

Before leaving, Hikigaya Hachiman went to say goodbye to Hikigaya Komachi, but was turned away.

even if

Mika Natsuki also complained in her heart that her husband "deserved it".

A few days ago, she suggested that she should prepare the New Year's gift for her sister.

But Hikigaya Hachiman refused to agree, saying that he knew his sister well and knew what she liked.

Then it led to the current embarrassing scene.

Hikigaya Komachi gave Hikigaya Hachiman a handsome action figure based on a legendary character, and he liked it very much.

But when it came to his turn to give New Year's gifts to Hikigaya Komachi... they were all some cosmetics.

Xia Mu Mika felt tired and simply stopped thinking about it.

"Komachi, Hachiman and I will go back first."

My sister-in-law took action and the bedroom door was quickly opened.

Hikigaya Komachi poked her head out and smiled sweetly, "Okay, Sister Mika, be careful on the road."

Then she looked at Hikigaya Hachiman and sighed deeply.

"Stupid brother, be careful on your way back. Don't get eaten by the weird things that suddenly pop out."

"it is good."

Hikigaya Hachiman felt warm in his heart.

As expected, Komachi has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

As for the changes in his sister, he could certainly see them, but he didn't have any special thoughts, he just felt relieved and at ease.

"With the protection of Akita-sama, even if something unexpected happens to me in the future, Komachi will be able to live well in this world."

"This is enough."

Hikigaya Hachiman thought silently in his heart.

Soon, he left with his wife.

In the study room.

Akita Makoto stood on the balcony until the Hikigaya couple disappeared from his sight, then he sat back at his desk, stroking his chin and falling into thought.

When he was sorting out the evaluation forms of his subordinates, he found that Reiko Chihiro took leave significantly more often than other subordinates.

But since it wasn't too much, he didn't care.

I didn't expect that she was preparing for promotion to C level.

How did Chihiro Reiko convince the psychic in the branch to share more of her work...

Akita really didn't care because judging by the results, there was no noticeable impact on the branch.

What he didn't know how to evaluate was Chihiro Reiko's personality.

She has been a psychic for only about half a year, but she is already planning to be promoted to C-level, which shows that her talent is a bit stronger than that of ordinary psychics.

If it were someone else, they would definitely not be vague about such a major life event and would seek advice from experienced seniors.

The same thing happened when Akita Shin was promoted to C-rank and then B-rank more than a year ago.

The difference is that the old director, Shin Tanigawa, is a soft-hearted person, so he and other squad leaders such as Sakai were given authority higher than D-level.

Take him as an example, as long as it does not involve secret methods or rituals.

In the branch library, you can browse and learn from all kinds of experiences and lessons related to spiritualists.

This is also how he was able to learn advanced techniques during that period of hiding his incompetence.

This will be mentioned to some extent in the experiences and lessons left by our predecessors.

"Maybe we should apply to the headquarters to find her a teacher."

"Forget it, I'll talk to Qian Hong after the New Year. It won't be much trouble at most."

In fact, as Akita Makoto was once Reiko Chihiro's teacher, he could have accepted her as a student and trained her carefully.

But there are two reasons why he thinks it is inappropriate.

The first one, of course, is his own character.

The second and most important reason.

He is really not a qualified teacher. Even though he sounded very knowledgeable when talking to Chisa Kujo before, in fact, there was a lot of personal opinion mixed in.

The point is, Chisa Kujo has more escape routes than 99% of the people in Kyoto.

Therefore, Akita can teach in his own way, since he has the big boss to back him up.

But what about Reiko Chihiro?

Therefore, he believed that a B-level psychic with similar talent to Chihiro Reiko was definitely more suitable than himself and had a higher tolerance rate...

After shaking his head, Akita didn't think any more and started to get busy.

Before going upstairs just now, he asked the maid and others not to disturb him.

I have to hurry up and finish all the New Year gifts I will give them tomorrow within today.

However, he had just entered a state of concentration when he noticed someone entering the study.

He frowned slightly and raised his head.

Yuigahama Asuna paused and looked anxiously at the boy in front of her who seemed unhappy... No, the monthly fee of Lord Akame is group ⑥9④9③61③5.

What relieved her was that Akita Makoto was not angry and even put down what he was doing.

"Have you talked to Yukino and the wife?"

"Yes, sir, I basically understand everything I should know."

Yuigahama Asuna said this with a faint smile, suppressing the uneasiness and awkwardness in her heart, and stepped forward courageously.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer.

When he was at Takashi's house before, Akita Makoto was more restrained.

Now that I'm at home, I don't have those concerns anymore and I look at her carefully.

Maybe it’s because the distance is very close.

He felt that his wife's current submissive look was, well... dangerous.

In addition, there is the figure and temperament.

When Yuigahama Asuna bent down slightly and placed the tea and snacks on the plate on the table one by one.

Her chest, which was already bulging, became even more eye-catching as she moved.

What was even more offensive was that she noticed his scrutiny and her cheeks began to turn slightly red...

maybe this is

The charm of the wife?

Akita Shin had to admit that he inevitably had some thoughts.

Not to excuse himself, he believes that this is unavoidable for every healthy man.

"You sit down first." Akita Makoto said with a normal expression.

"Yes."

Although she felt a little embarrassed by his undisguised gaze, Yuihama Asuna felt okay.

After all, she is not a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old...

Thinking this in her mind, she took a stool not far away and sat down beside the desk.

While Akita Shin picked up a piece of dessert and tasted it, Yuigahama Asuna looked at him carefully.

She quickly came to a conclusion - if she were Yui, she would definitely be very shy facing this handsome boy, and she probably wouldn't even be able to speak clearly.

"What's your name, ma'am?"

Seeing that she was nervous because of her identity, Akita thought it would be better to start with the most basic topic.

"Asuna, sir, just call me like this from now on." Yuigahama Asuna said softly.

In fact, she felt that it would be better to communicate with this adult in a normal attitude.

And Yukino Yukinoshita also said that he has a good personality, just like when Sawamura and daughter were fighting not long ago, he didn't care at all.

Unlike the big families like Yingsi, who take etiquette and rules very seriously...

But after thinking about it carefully, Yuigahama Asuna gave up.

This world is different from the previous world. It will definitely not be wrong to be cautious and conservative.

"Sure, just be casual and treat this place as your old home. Don't be too nervous."

Akita Shin smiled and said, it's just a name.

For example, Sayuri Sawamura let everyone accept the suggestion of calling her by her name directly.

"Hi."

Hearing him say that, Yuigahama Asuna relaxed a little.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Akita Makoto didn't care. He ate a few more snacks, drank a few sips of hot tea, and continued to make extraordinary things.

Yuigahama Asuna's attention was quickly diverted to this.

Under her gaze, from time to time, specks of blue light would appear in front of Akita Makoto.

After rotating and entwining with each other, they gradually formed...incomprehensible characters.

In other words, it's a rune.

Ken was close enough, and Yuigahama Asuna could vaguely feel that those runes contained amazing power.

Finally, it should be under his control and integrated into the beads.

"Are you interested?" Akita Makoto suddenly asked.

Yuigahama Asuna was slightly stunned, and glanced at the wall clock in the study, only to find that fifteen minutes had passed without her noticing.

She thought for a moment and replied in a playful tone: "Xue No told me that Master Zhen, you know that we are time travelers."

"Not only me, most of the extraordinary people in Kyoto know about it."

Akita Makoto's mouth corners slightly raised, feeling a little surprised.

Although I told her not to be too restrained, it was a bit too fast for her to adapt.

You know, even the maid didn't quite believe what he said at first, or maybe she was too cautious.

Of course, Akita Makoto always thought this was a good thing and something he was happy to see.
