Kivotos, I was deeply shocked!

Si Wang shook his head and took another step back on his heels. "I'm just a little allergic to girls who are younger than me, who take the initiative to get close to me, and who have various characteristics."

"Um--"

Tiandi Nia poked her chin with her fan, pondered for a while, and suddenly took a step forward.

Just like like poles of magnets repelling each other, almost at the moment the girl raised her foot, Si Wang lifted his foot smoothly and took a step back.

The girl took a step forward and Si Wang took a step back.

The girl took another step forward and Si Wang took another step back.

"..." After a moment of silence, Tiandi Niya finally couldn't help but speak, "Are you serious?"

"Do you think I'm kidding you?"

Si Wang rolled up his sleeves and showed off his arms. The hairs that should have been limp stood up, and there were a bunch of not-so-obvious goose bumps.

"..."

Tiandi Niya looked at the goose bumps on Si Wang's hand, then looked at his smiling face, and thought of the densely packed commissions under the homepage of [Xia Lai]. The girl couldn't help but spread out her fan to cover her mouth and laughed, "You must have worked very hard."

"Who says it's not?"

Si Wang shook his head and sighed, then picked up the big bag of souvenirs that Little Fox bought for him and walked to the corner of the street. He waved his hand without looking back, "I'll trouble you with the next thing, Niya. As the head of the [Onmyoji Department], I'm sure you won't come up with a reason that will bring disgrace to [Xia Lai] and cause a major diplomatic incident between [Federation Student Union] and Hyakki Yagyo Comprehensive Academy."

"..."

Chapter 13 River and Shizuko

Looking at He and Shizuko trotting towards her angrily, Tenchi Nia couldn't help but reveal a toothache expression.

Although I was in a good mood just now and agreed to the teacher very readily...

But now how can I come up with a reasonable, convincing and non-offensive explanation to explain Izuna's background and the reason why the teacher has not accepted the invitation?

There are so many prerequisites that my temples are throbbing.

Is it too late to call Guosui now?

The first thing that came to my mind was the girl who ran away, and I scratched my hair in a very ungraceful manner.

"Fina, hurry up! Don't let Minister Nia get away!"

"Okay, Minister!"

Hearing the angry roar from Hehe Shizuko, the girl in a kimono with a yellow ponytail turned her head and saluted to her minister in a very samurai stereotypical way, then quickened her pace without hesitation.

He took two steps at a time, three steps at a time, one step at a time, and finally leaped forward, turning two and a half times in the air, landing handsomely like a spinning Hot Wheels, looking like a hero arriving.

"Minister Nia~"

Asahina Fina raised her white chin, and placed her right hand on the butt of the machine gun at her waist as if it were the handle of a samurai sword, imitating the samurai style in the Taiga drama, "No passage is allowed without Minister Shizuko's order-"

Tiandi Nia: "..."

So this Asahina Fina who transferred from Trinity to the [Celebration Operation Management Department] has such an interesting personality?

"Well done, Fina!"

Kawai Shizuko clenched her fists, strode in front of Tenchi Niya, and said in a bad tone, "The Hundred Nights Cherry Blossom Festival is the most important celebration to promote our Hundred Demons Night Parade. Attacks frequently happen at such an important celebration, and everyone is busy and exhausted. Why is it that every time we go to the [Onmyoji Department] to look for Minister Niya, we can't find anyone, Minister Niya?!"

Finally seeing the figure of the long-missing person in charge, He He Shizuko could no longer care about maintaining the cute image of the proprietress of [Hyakuya Hall]. She grabbed the sleeves of Tenchi Niya's kimono and said viciously, "Today, Minister Niya, you must come up with a concrete and feasible plan to deal with the increasing number of troublemakers at the celebration!"

"Meow...haha...um...there are some very deep reasons why I haven't shown up recently, for example..."

After being caught slacking off by the person involved, Tiandi Niya lowered her head in thought, trying to find a pleasant topic to ease the tense atmosphere.

An idea flashed through her mind, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the place beside her, "For example, we [Onmyoji] are doing our best to protect Kazuki's performance from... eh? Where's Chiyo?"

There was nothing at the place where Hele Qianshi was originally standing, only two cherry blossom petals floating lonely in the air and slowly falling down.

"..."

He and Shizuko didn't say anything, but just looked at Tenchi Nia with an expression that said, "Go ahead and make it up, let's see if I believe it or not."

Then the fingers that were gripping the other's sleeves tightened even more.

"That...that..."

A timid voice interrupted the conversation between the two. Tenchi Nia and Kawai Shizuko subconsciously turned their heads to look, but the girl wearing the fox mask was frightened by the sudden action of the two and took a step back in fear.

I don't know whether I am afraid of the mysterious smile of the [Onmyoji] director, or the scorchingly enthusiastic [Celebration Operation Management] director. Kuda Izuna took a deep breath, summoned all the courage in her heart, and asked weakly, "Excuse me, have you seen my master...teacher?"

The girl tried to gesture in the air with her hands, "The teacher is about this tall, with a big head and shoulders this wide. His hair is black, his eyes are black, and his clothes seem to be black too..."

"Uh, Izuna, don't worry, I have indeed seen the teacher you mentioned."

Compared to He and Shizuko who were ready to fight, Hisada Izuna, whose voice was full of panic, was obviously in a more urgent situation. Tenchi Nia had to give up trying to retract her sleeves and comforted her, "But he seemed to have received an urgent email about [Xia Lai] just now. He asked me to stay here and explain it to you, and then she left in a hurry."

"Ah? Teacher Xia Lai is here? Izuna, the teacher you mentioned is Xia Lai's teacher? Does that mean Xia Lai's teacher saw everything that happened just now?!"

Because they were too shocked, He He Shizuko even loosened her fingers that were holding onto Tenchinia's sleeves involuntarily.

Tenchi Nia lifted up her sleeves, and five deeply clenched claw marks were clearly visible on the white furisode.

The girl shook her head in distress.

It’s over. Guo Sui will scold me for a long time when I go back.

“It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over…!”

At this moment, there was another person who felt like she was doomed, and it was a desperate situation. She was He He Shizuko.

At this moment, the girl could no longer see the ease with which she was the director of the Celebration Operation Management Department, nor the generosity and cuteness of the poster girl of Hyakuya Hall. Instead, she paced back and forth anxiously like an ant sprayed with floral water.

"Originally, I wanted to use the celebration, food, and music of the Hundred Nights Sakura Festival to open Xia Lai's teacher's eyes, and with my reckless and cute poster girl personality, I wanted to make the teacher indulge in the cultural atmosphere of the Hundred Demons Night Parade. Finally, in the night, under the fireworks, with cute and expectant eyes, I would take a celebration photo, which is an invincible killer weapon, and post it at the bottom of our respective homepages to tag each other, so as to achieve a roundabout way to save the country and achieve the purpose of promoting our Hundred Demons Night Parade Academy!"

Like a machine gun, the girl's mouth fired out a series of words, not giving anyone a chance to interrupt.

Finally, He He Shizuko stopped at the street entrance. She looked at the burnt charcoal that was sparking, the house that the engineering department was still repairing, and then she looked at her white fists that were inevitably covered with dust after beating up the gangster, and she held her head in disbelief.

“They went bankrupt at the first step?!”

At the side, Asahina Fina nodded in frustration, "What a bad job, Minister."

In order to leave a deep impression of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons on the teacher [Xia Lai], she secretly spent a long time at home rehearsing a self-introduction that was very much in the style of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

What a pity.

"Ahhhh!"

Facing the teammate's finishing blow, Kawai Shizuko couldn't help but let out an indescribable scream.

"Well, Shizuko-san, don't worry about that."

Having just finished comforting Hisata Izuna, Tenchi Nia had to turn around and comfort Kawahara Shizuko, the person in charge of all matters big and small, including the planning, operation, management, and coordination of the celebration.

After all, the other party is the real manager who is in charge of everything, not just a simple tool for stamping.

Even if there is only a small problem with Kawai and Shizuko, it will cause a big trouble if it is magnified to the Hyakura Festival!

If she is finished, then I will be finished too!

"That teacher of Xia Lai is definitely not the mean and cunning person you imagine."

In order to cheer up the director of the Festival Operation Management Department, Tiandi Niya had to praise Si Wang against her conscience. "Although the communication with him was very brief, I really felt that he was generous and broad-minded as an adult. Before leaving, he praised our Hundred Demons Night Parade for how quickly we handled the accident."

"Yes, we still have a chance!"

Kawai Shizuko was not someone who would easily give up on herself. Or rather, as someone who was in charge of a large-scale event like a celebration where she had to deal with various people and unexpected events, the girl had a heart bigger than most people could imagine.

After her boiling brain cooled down a bit, the girl immediately cheered up and started to think of a new plan. "It's just that something unexpected happened to the commercial street, which is available in every college. I can also take the teacher to see the unique plays, dances, Noh masks, and hot springs of the Hundred Demons Night Parade... I will definitely be able to restore the image of the Hundred Demons Night Parade in the teacher's mind!"

I find it difficult.

Tenchi Nia did not refute He and Shizuka's plan. Instead, she nodded with a thoughtful expression. Si Wang's smiling but calm face appeared in her mind.

It's hard to imagine that the teacher who was so calm in the explosion and could be killed by any fragment would be interested in performing such a dull thing.

"so!"

He He Shizuko grabbed Tenchi Nia's sleeve, her expression extremely serious, "Where is the teacher now?"

"Hmm."

Kusada Izuna, who had been unable to get a word in, quickly nodded her head and looked at Tenchi Nia eagerly.

The muscles on Tiandi Niya's face suddenly froze.

How come I went around and around and ended up going back to the same place again...

Chapter 14: A Strange Familiarity

Izuna-san, how many things did you buy for me?

While admiring the street scene where the people, things and objects were very much in the style of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Si Wang put the skewer he took out of the bag into his mouth.

Since he left, he probably has walked two or three miles, and his mouth has never stopped to rest. But after eating until now, he feels that the bag in his hand does not seem to have become significantly lighter.

Of course, there was a very deep reason why he chose to leave Tenchi Nia there to attract fire and leave by himself instead of meeting up with Kawai and Shizuko from the Celebration.

On the one hand, of course, it was to take revenge on Tiandi Nia.

It was my fault that because the other party was a student, I was too lazy to think and believed what the other party said. As a result, I had just stepped out of the door of the [Onmyoji Department] headquarters when I stepped into a pit dug by the other party and tripped over a little fox. Now I am inexplicably stuck to the other party.

Well, every experience makes you wiser. Next time, I will be more careful even if the other person is a student.

Although they are simple and kind, it does not mean that they will not go against their own heart for something they value.

On the other hand, he smelled a little bit of the Abydos incident.

The student council president is missing, the student council has lost contact, a student club is in charge of managing the school, and local hooligans are causing trouble...

Except that the Hundred Demons Night Parade Academy is now in its heyday and the gangsters who come to cause trouble are called "Street Demons" instead of "Steel Helmets", it seems that the development is no different from when I first entered Abydos...

It's not you again, [Secret Art of Numbers]?

Although it doesn't look like it.

Si Wang made way. A dozen students wearing kimonos and wearing the armbands of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons were escorting a large group of street thugs with guns through the middle of the road. Their cursing voices almost perfectly blended into the bustle of the commercial street.

If it could be this lively, Hoshino Takanashi would probably wake up laughing even in his sleep.

Moreover, from the self-introduction of the black suit, it can be seen that they are a small but elite group that is not subordinate to each other and has its own beliefs and goals. There may be many hidden secrets, but the power directly under their control should not be very large.

After all, the students of Kivotos are not really vegetarians. They actually possess various special abilities.

For example, Hoshino Takanashi's physical fitness is exaggerated and abnormal, and Izuna Wakuta seems to be a teleportation ninjutsu that can really teleport.

It is normal that there is suddenly an Onmyoji who is proficient in divination and prophecy.

I think that the folding fan in one hand, the broken horn, and the squinting smile on your face, classmate Nia, are very consistent with the public's stereotype of Onmyoji.

Then you will be the Onmyoji who masters the art of divination.

Si Wang still felt a little upset about the fact that he was cheated by a little girl.

Therefore, no matter what the reason is, the influence of [Numerology] in Kivotos will not be very large. Instead, it will be like the aliens in special effects films, where either the individual strength is very strong or they have mastered similar means to create powerful individuals.

If they really had an unrivaled power, why would they be hiding behind the cover of the Caesars Group and doing things in secret? Wouldn't it be better to just openly attack Kivotos?

Si Wang, who was acting under the guise of Xia Lai, thought silently.

Then the Seven Gods would no longer have to bury themselves in the pile of documents that were frightening just by looking at them every day, but could start preparing a manifesto to fight against the enemy, widely invite the max-level lords from various academies, establish the Kivotos Coalition, and wait for a student holding the Destiny Edict to ascend to the throne of the leader, then they could wave their hands and attack the headquarters of [Numerology Secret Art].

But in a place like the Hyakki Yagyo Academy, which is extremely peaceful, where even small hooligans causing trouble are taken care of, how could there be the atmosphere of chaos and trouble-making when the Han Dynasty is in decline and the world is in turmoil?

So I'm thinking too much?

Not sure, hide and wait and see.

As Si Wang was thinking, he reached out and pulled over the man who was walking on the edge of the sidewalk. He was just one step away from stepping on the empty step, but he was still looking at the sky and Le Qianshi intently.

"Ah, teacher."

Hele Qianshi slightly widened her eyes, but she didn't seem to be surprised that someone suddenly grabbed her wrist, but she was surprised that she could suddenly run into Si Wang here, "Are you here too?"

"You're here too?"

Si Wang let go of the girl's wrist and showed a puzzled expression, "What's coming?"

Even with his extremely quick brain activity, he couldn't figure out what the girl in front of him was thinking.

He Le Qian Shi raised his arms, but the loose cuffs with delicate stitches could not hold up the girl's smooth skin, and slid down due to gravity, revealing the white forearms underneath.

The girl extended her index finger and pointed to a certain spot in the sky, "Chasing the clouds too."

"Chasing clouds?"
