In the anime, Kira Yoshikage longs for a peaceful life

Surrounded by monsters, she spent two difficult weeks and her spirit was close to collapse at one point.

But just when she was about to give up struggling and was about to be torn to pieces by those monsters, someone was able to easily destroy those monsters that were hideous and difficult to defeat in her eyes, and even said casually that they were just ordinary evil spirits.

She thought she had been redeemed, but she never imagined that she had just fallen from one hell into another.

They are not angels, but an Onmyoji and his captive Star Wrath Shikigami.

And I was the sacrifice chosen by them.

She was powerless to resist, nor did she want to struggle, she just accepted the fact calmly.

So she resigned herself to her fate and followed Kira Yoshikage, knowing that he would always find her.

Although I will be used as a sacrifice sooner or later, at least following him can bring me temporary peace without worrying about being killed by monsters.

At least she can enjoy a relatively peaceful life until the shrine is built.

But she never expected that Kira Yoshikage, who left her with a cold and mysterious impression, would actually work as a bartender on the top floor of a hotel after school. Even though this bar called "Angel Ladder" is a social place for the upper class, it cannot change the fact that he is a bartender!

Didn’t this sense of disharmony come over you all of a sudden?

In addition to that, he was even followed by other girls in the school. She saw them enter the hotel with her own eyes... Now it's even more outrageous. Two girls in unfamiliar school uniforms also found this place and even pulled out pistols in public without paying any attention to others!

Mai Sakurajima was 100% sure that it was definitely not a toy gun, but a real weapon that could kill people!

The two girls seemed to be affiliated with a special organization and held a legal license to kill, so they dared to show their guns in public and even said they wanted to kill the woman who seemed to be very familiar with them, just because she came to meet Kira Yoshikage privately.

Their conversation made Sakurajima Mai even more unbelievable, because Kira Yoshikage actually said that he just wanted a peaceful life.

Who would believe a man who could arrange his own Star Fury Shikigami to threaten the chairman of Shuchiin Academy when he said he just wanted to live a peaceful life?

However, even though Mai Sakurajima did not believe it, there were many people who did.

For example, the two girls clearly believed it, and even felt a little disappointed. Obviously, in their cognition, it was normal for Kirara Yoshikage to have a different definition of "calmness".

Mai Sakurajima really wanted to find out what was going on, but she didn't dare to step forward.

Because she knew they couldn't see her, and also because she was afraid that it would anger Kira Yoshikage.

But after sitting here for so long, Mai Sakurajima finally couldn't help but ask:

"That, that..."

The girl's voice was extremely nervous, even a little timid.

"what?"

Kira Yoshikage seemed to finally notice him, but still didn't look at her. He just asked as if he was talking to the air.

"Can I go to the bathroom?"

Mai Sakurajima asked weakly, rubbing her legs.

Kira Yoshikage did not answer and even stopped what he was doing.

He looked up at where the girl was sitting, and spoke calmly in the face of her nervous expression that almost suffocated her:

“You don’t need to apply to me for this.”

Mai Sakurajima took this as consent and carefully got down from the high stool, then walked towards the bathroom with her legs folded.

After a while, the girl, who had quickly solved her physiological problem, returned to the bar and sat there quietly again.

After hesitating for a while, Mai Sakurajima asked softly:

"Can I have a glass of water?"

"any drinks?"

Kirara Yoshikage glanced at her:

"You could sit closer."

Mai Sakurajima obediently sat in the seat in front of Kira Yoshikage, where a drink menu was placed.

Mai Sakurajima glanced at the cocktails and said slowly and firmly:

"lemonade."

Anyway, if you order a cocktail, the other party will definitely change it to lemonade on the grounds that "minors are not allowed to drink".

"So, why are you following me?"

Kira Yoshikage asked as he skillfully mixed a cocktail.

"Eh?"

This question made Sakurajima Mai stunned. She didn't know how to answer. What did she mean by why she followed him?

Sakurajima Mai whispered:

"I…I thought you asked me to follow you."

"When did I say that?"

Kira Yoshikage raised his eyebrows slightly. Why didn’t he remember saying this?

Mai Sakurajima was a little confused:

"Didn't you also ask me to become a miko of God? To prevent me from running away, you glanced at me when I left the school. Wasn't that a warning for me not to think about running away?"

Kirara Yoshikage handed her the prepared lemonade:

"Do you know what your condition is called?"

"what?"

“Too much self-awareness.”

Chapter 58 Do you believe me if I say it was a misunderstanding?

"..."

Mai Sakurajima puffed up her cheeks slightly after being criticized mercilessly.

Even if she can't resist, she will still be angry!

Kira Yoshikage's expression remained calm:

"If you want to leave, you can always go. But becoming a miko is your best option unless you want to be as popular as you are during the day."

Mai Sakurajima's body trembled. You call that a welcome?

Kira Yoshikage did not disturb her and gave her enough time to think.

After a long while, Sakurajima Mai finally seemed to react and said softly:

"More than two months ago, a woman broke into my home and kidnapped me."

"When I woke up, I was already in the basement of Shuchiin Academy."

"After being locked up for a few days, the woman who held me captive became very panicked. She seemed to have lost something very important and searched around the room. It was then that I realized she was actually looking for me. I don't know why, but even when I was standing right in front of her, she couldn't see me at all."

"Then, that man came..."

Sakurajima Mai said, and after a long silence, she whispered:

"Shinomiya Huang Guang, the chairman of the board of directors of Shuchiin Academy."

"Because of my 'disappearance', they had a conversation right in front of me without caring about others."

"From their conversation, I learned that they seemed to be planning to treat me as a 'witch' and offer me as a sacrifice to the gods in the ceremony. Because the gods love pure virgins, even the people who kidnapped and detained me had to be women to avoid accidents."

Mai Sakurajima laughed at herself. Perhaps she should be grateful that the other party had this purpose in mind, otherwise she would not know what she would have to go through after being kidnapped.

"At first I tried to escape from school, and since no one could see me, everything went smoothly. But after I left, I realized that although humans couldn't see me, 'evil spirits' could. As a result, no matter where I went, I would be targeted by a group of evil spirits."

"I had no choice but to return to Shuchiin Academy."

"You should know the rest."

Mai Sakurajima's voice became calmer, but her slightly trembling body still showed that she was not in a good mood.

Kira Yoshikage listened to her story quietly, knowing what she was worried about, and spoke calmly:

"A witch is not necessarily a sacrifice."

"Their rituals for nurturing the gods are flawed, so they turned the priestesses who were supposed to be worshipping the gods into sacrifices."

Mai Sakurajima lowered her head silently and asked in a low voice as if to confirm:

"So, I don't have to die?"

Kirara Yoshikage stared at the girl's fair little hands for a long time:

"If you want to die, you can."

"As a reward, can you leave your hand to me? I will cherish it."

Kira Yoshikage's tone was very sincere, but Sakurajima Mai still tried hard to reject him:

"It's better not to use it."

If she can avoid death, she doesn't want to die for the time being.

Mai Sakurajima took a sip of lemon water and felt much more relaxed.

Maybe it was because she was relieved to know that she didn't have to die, or maybe it was because she finally had an outlet to vent the repression she had been holding for so long. In short, Mai Sakurajima now felt like she had returned to her old state.

Except the fact that she wouldn't be seen still bothered her.

Sakurajima Mai held the cold cup with both hands and asked softly:

"Um, Kira-kun, can I ask you a few questions?"

"can."

He can provide free consultation to a girl who is about to become a shrine maiden and will work hard to protect his peaceful life.

Mai Sakurajima pursed her lips and asked the question that had been bothering her:

"Why can't anyone see me?"

Kirara Yoshikage thought for two seconds and said:

"Because you are a psyker, this is your psionic gift."

"Psychic talent?"

"To put it simply, you can understand the essence of all supernatural phenomena as the manifestation of psionic energy in the material world, and humans who possess psionic talents are psionicists."

"Every psychic has his or her own psychic talents. These talents are both a blessing and a curse."

"If used well, it can destroy the world, but if used poorly, it can also destroy the world."

Mai Sakurajima complained:

"What's the difference between the two?"

"The former is the destruction of your own volition. For example, you are tired of humans, so you decide to use your psychic powers to destroy the world."

"And the latter is due to out-of-control psychic energy, causing your body to explode like a large nuclear bomb, leading to the destruction of the world."

Mai Sakurajima looked at her hands with some suspicion:

"Am I that powerful?"

"No."

"So what you just said..."

“It’s just an example.”

Mai Sakurajima suddenly felt a little tight in her chest and was so angry!

Kirara Yoshikage ignored the girl's frustration and continued to explain:

"Your current situation is a typical case of psychic power out of control."

"The first thing that ordinary psychics awaken is 'psychic vision', which is the ability to see those spirits. But you accidentally activated your psychic talent out of the instinct of self-preservation, and you cannot be observed by others."

"Although this allows you to escape danger temporarily, your out-of-control psychic energy is difficult to calm down."

"If you still can't master your psychic powers, this state of being unobservable will become worse and worse."

"Not only can humans not observe you, even most 'spirits' cannot observe your existence."
