"No, I mean, I mean..."
"say what?"
Bai An looked confused, but soon noticed her red eyes. He then sensed the room and found that the remaining obsession had dissipated. He immediately understood what was going on.
"Did you give the pudding to your father?"
"Ah."
Yotsuya Miko bit her lower lip and nodded.
Bai An sighed. He didn't know how to comfort others, especially this kind of thing. He was not good at it, so he just gently held her in his arms.
"If you're sad, just cry."
The gentle voice made her eyes red again. Yotsuya Miko buried her head in his arms, and small drops of tears kept falling from her golden eyes.
Just once is enough, as long as she can cry without restraint, she will be satisfied.
The passing of her father was like a fuse, causing all the pain that Yotsuya Miko had been suppressing in recent days to burst out.
The only sounds in the room were sobbing and sniffling.
Bai An can understand Yotsuya Miko.
If her experience had happened to someone else, they would have collapsed and committed suicide long ago.
Only I can see it, no one will believe it, no one can understand it, and no one can help me. I can only suppress my fear every day and pretend nothing has happened.
Yotsuya Miko kept talking, pouring out all the grievances and despair that had been suppressed for so long.
Bai Anze gently stroked her soft black hair, as if he was coaxing a child, and accompanied her patiently.
After a long time, Yotsuya Miko stopped crying, but still buried her head deeply in his arms.
When people are excited, their adrenaline surges and they will do things that they would not dare to do under normal circumstances.
If it were any other time, Yotsuya Miko would never be so bold.
Now that she has calmed down, she doesn't know how to face Bai An and chooses to hide like an ostrich.
She remembered that boys didn't have body odor, but she smelled it now.
It smells nice, like a flower, and gives people a warm feeling.
Yotsuya Miko's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Although she is already in high school, she has never been in a relationship. She has never even held hands, let alone hugged or anything like that.
"Jianzi, are you asleep?"
Looking at the motionless Miko, Bai An asked tentatively, but Yotsuya Miko did not respond.
Seeing this, Bai An called out softly again: "Jianzi?"
Still no response, he used his magic first to clean all the stains off the bed.
Then he put Jianziqing on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then quietly left the room through the gap.
Not long after Bai An left, Yotsuya Kenko suddenly opened his eyes, took a pillow, and buried his face deeply in it to ease his complicated mood at the moment.
..
It was already morning.
Normally, Reimu would sleep until the afternoon, but now she appeared in the living room early in the morning, eating breakfast with a look of despair.
It’s not that Reimu didn’t want to sleep or became self-disciplined, but she was forced to wake up by Kazami Yuuka, who was used to getting up early.
As soon as Bai An came back, he was met with Reimu's resentful look.
In Reimu's opinion, Bai An must be away, and Feng Jianyouxiang had no one to accompany her for breakfast, so she was pulled up to replace her.
Bai An ignored Lingmeng's resentful look, walked to the table and sat down, and began to enjoy the breakfast prepared by his own Youxiang.
"You must have eaten it secretly."
Reimu suddenly became strange, her nose twitched slightly, and her eyes flashed with questioning light, as if she saw through something.
Then he sniffed again, and his pink eyes were immediately filled with dissatisfaction.
"Egg and ham ramen, rich man, it's ok for you to sneak in a midnight snack, but you didn't even bring back a portion!"
Reimu waved her hands and yelled angrily. She had no midnight snack last night, but she forced herself to endure the hunger and fell asleep with difficulty.
"Um..."
The corner of Bai An's mouth twitched, and Feng Jian Youxiang also looked over, and naturally moved forward and smelled the scent on Bai An.
"The smell of that little girl, and...Yakumo Yukari?"
She looked at Bai An meaningfully. She could understand what he said at first, but after smelling the scent of Yakumo Yukari, her eyes gradually became filled with surprise.
Kazami Yuuka didn't mind or feel jealous. After all, she was confident that her position would not be shaken no matter what. It's just...
The looks in the two men's eyes seemed to show that they understood everything, which made Bai An feel guilty. He quickly explained what happened last night from beginning to end.
Ling Meng saw that there was nothing to watch, so he continued to eat noodles in boredom.
Yuuka Kazami's eyes were subtle, and she had already greatly increased the favorability of the little girl named Yotsuya Miko in just one night. From a certain perspective, it was quite magical.
"I don't mind, even if it's that guy named Yakumo."
Feng Jianyouxiang suddenly uttered this sentence, and her tone was full of playfulness when she spoke the latter part, and a funny picture appeared in her mind.
"Youxiang, why do you look so evil?"
Bai An's words successfully made Feng Jian Youxiang stop smiling, and she replied helplessly:
"This is your illusion."
After dinner, Bai An took the two of them to collect protection fees. The objects of the collection were high-level evil spirits or weird things.
In this world, all gods are wild gods.
At least in Bai An's opinion, these are just evil spirits that are more powerful than ordinary evil spirits.
These evil spirits live in shrines, devour other evil spirits, absorb the power of faith, and eventually become beings similar to false gods.
Bai An came to the nearby shrines and collected protection fees and environmental maintenance fees from each shrine.
Some sensible false gods were fine, as the money in the offering box was of no use to them anyway. Those who were not were captured by Bai An and used as merchandise to increase the store's inventory.
Soon, several people swept through all the nearby shrines.
It is worth mentioning that the weird old man encountered before is not an isolated case, there are other weird things in the world.
The weird ones are different from evil spirits. They can rely on certain rules to temporarily break through restrictions, allowing ordinary people to see them and then hunt them down.
If this is the case, there must be a positive way to exorcise ghosts and weirdness.
Bai An followed his perception and came to a place where the spiritual power was barely enough.
In front of me is an alley with some snacks or souvenir shops on both sides.
Bai An took the two of them to a small shop selling Buddhist beads.
The boss here is an old lady wearing a red wizard costume.
Bai An recognized the other party's identity, Takeda Mie, who claimed to be the goddess. If he had not changed the plot, according to the current timeline, the other party would have retired because of his inability to solve the problem of Jianzi.
"Hey guys, do you need anything?"
The witch looked kind and benevolent, and greeted Bai An and the others with a warm smile.
Bai An did not answer immediately. He glanced around, slowly walked to the shelf, and picked out a talisman that barely had some magic power.
Seeing that Bai An took out the most powerful talisman from the pile of fakes, the witch's old face was suddenly filled with surprise.
"My dear guest, have you encountered anything wonderful recently?"
Bai An's mouth curled up into an arc, the familiar plot began, and he nodded.
"There are indeed wonderful things. I recently encountered an eight-foot-tall female evil spirit that ran faster than a car. She knocked on my window at night while wearing cool clothes and kept shouting "husband" and "handsome man" and so on."
Bai An pretended to be distressed, and the witch's face twitched after hearing what she said. If the man in front of her was not eight feet tall and ran much faster than the car, she would have suspected that the young man was fooling an old woman like her.
But she looked at Bai An carefully.
The other person really meets the evil spirit's criteria for choosing a spouse, and even with a disguise it is difficult to conceal his appearance and temperament.
If she were a few decades younger and full of vigor and vitality, she would probably not be able to resist the urge to have a passionate love affair with this handsome boy.
"Don't worry little one, this spell is enough to repel most evil spirits!"
The witch said this with a smile, but the next moment her smile gradually froze, and the talisman paper suddenly burned out of thin air, disappearing cleanly.
She widened her eyes in disbelief, with disbelief in her eyes. Although this talisman was not drawn by her at her peak, it was still considered a top-grade talisman. How could it burn up without any warning?
"This spell doesn't seem to work..."
"wait."
The witch waved her hand seriously to signal him not to worry, then turned around and found a heavy wooden box that was sealed.
The seal was cut and the lid of the wooden box was opened, revealing a bracelet inside. Each bead on the bracelet emitted a soft yellow light.
"This string of beads has the power of my heyday. As long as you wear it, no matter what evil spirit it is, it can't harm you!" The witch took out the beads with a look of nostalgia and handed them to Bai An: "Put it on, this is a genuine top-grade magic weapon."
Bai An took the magic bead and looked at it.
I have to say that the witch in front of me does have some skills. This bracelet can defend against the attacks of intermediate monsters, which is already quite good in this world where spiritual power is scarce.
"How much is this string of beads?"
"No need to pay, I'll give it to you. After all, this little fellow is the same age as my granddaughter. I can't just stand by and watch him die."
"Let me try." Bai An hung the magic bead on his wrist.
However, as soon as the beads were put on the wrist, they began to tremble violently and cracks appeared on the beads.
"boom--!"
The magic beads exploded and the broken beads scattered everywhere.
The witch's face showed shock and a bit of fear. She looked at the woman who was silently holding an umbrella beside the boy, and her face gradually stiffened.
If she was not mistaken, the top-grade magic weapon that represented her power in her prime was destroyed by a casual blow from the woman in front of her. Not only that, in the instant just now, she seemed to feel a power far beyond any evil spirit she had encountered.
This is a despairing gap. Even if all the evil spirits are added together, they are not on the same level as the woman holding an umbrella.
The witch's expression changed several times, and finally she sighed:
"Who are you?"
The familiar lines awakened the memory engraved deep in Bai An's genes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Since you asked sincerely, I will mercifully tell you that in order to prevent the world from being destroyed and to maintain world peace, throughout..."
"boom--!"
A loud explosion sounded in the street, abruptly interrupting Bai An's speech.
"Youxiang, what are you doing!?"
Looking at Feng Jian Youxiang with green light coming out of the tip of her umbrella, Bai An was filled with resentment. God had given him two chances, but he never said it out loud.
"There's an evil spirit on the street, it's too noisy."
Feng Jianyouxiang calmly put away her umbrella and spoke without blushing or beating her heart.
Unable to finish his lines, Bai An planned to get straight to the point. The explosion just now would probably attract the police for questioning soon.
"We are here just to see if we can get the information we want."
"What do you want to know?"
..
Bai An asked about the strange truth of this world, its distribution, whether there is an official organization and other questions, but he got very few answers.
Basically, there is no difference between asking and not asking.
However, he did get some useful information from the witch: there is a kind of grass in this world that can make sounds! Mandrake!
It is said that if you punch or kick a Mandrake, it will scream to varying degrees depending on the damage it receives.
The moment Bai An heard this, he immediately made obtaining Mandrake his first mission in this world.
