"What are you doing? Are you hungry? I can make dinner."

Although she had a lot of questions to ask, when she saw Lin Qi rummaging through the refrigerator, Yukinoshita Yukino temporarily suppressed those questions and asked with concern.

After all, Lin Qijun had experienced an extremely fierce battle today, and had just acquired her own body, so she should be very hungry.

As soon as she finished speaking, the expression on Yukinoshita Yukino's face froze.

Lin Qi closed the refrigerator door, opened the beer can in her hand, and took a big gulp. After finishing, she let out a very happy "Ha~!"

He turned his head to look at Yukinoshita Yukino, whose face was filled with black lines, and asked in confusion: "Huh? What did you just say?"

……

...Chapter 87: Reasons to Continue

"You just came out of someone's body, and you can't wait to start drinking?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and said with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"I just want to experience the feeling of being alive for the first time in a long time." Lin Qi smiled and raised the beer can towards her, "Would you like a can?"

"For inciting minors to drink, does Lin Qijun intend to go to jail?"

"If you haven't been caught, it's not a crime."

Lin Qi said this, and after drinking the remaining beer in two gulps, she threw the beer can into the trash can, and then reached out her hand to Yukinoshita Yukino.

"?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the hand he stretched out with a puzzled look. The palm was broad and strong, and the fingers were white and slender, which could be used as a hand model. "What do you mean?"

"Give me the money." He said as if it was a matter of course, "Where's the reward for the mission that Yidizhi gave you last time?"

"How could you carry something like that with you? Of course you keep it at home." Yukinoshita Yukino stared at him suspiciously, "Lin Qijun should have a portion of that money... It doesn't matter if I give it all to you, but what do you plan to do with it?"

“Buy a house.”

"What a surprise..."

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed not to expect him to answer like this. She blinked in surprise, and her silly look looked very adorable.

"What do you think?" Lin Qi rolled her eyes unhappily, "I can't always live in your house, can I?"

"You usually consider renting a house first, right?"

"Once you have money, of course you should consider buying a house first."

"Even so, the compensation paid by Mr. Ijichi should not be enough to buy a house, right?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino.

"It's okay. It should be enough for a down payment. At worst, I can borrow some from you or your sister." Lin Qi said easily, "As long as we sell our military forces to the Higher Vocational College a few times, we can make the money back soon."

"Yes, really." Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes suddenly became vague, "Let's put these things aside for now, I'll go prepare... dinner first?"

When she raised her head, Lin Qi's figure was no longer in front of her. The wind leaked in from the open glass door of the balcony, and the curtains fluttered silently, as if telling something in silence.

The afterglow of the setting sun poured into the room from the balcony, softly falling on the girl, as if covering her with a layer of soft golden gauze. The apartment suddenly became extremely quiet, and a silent loneliness quietly spread.

The sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole was heard, followed by a puzzled groan from outside the door. Yukinoshita Yukino came to her senses and subconsciously looked towards the entrance, but after a few seconds no one came in.

"Sister?" she called out tentatively.

The door of the apartment was suddenly opened, and Yukinoshita Haruno walked in with a relaxed look on her face: "What? It's Yukino-chan. I thought there was a thief in the house."

"But how did you get in... Needless to say, it must have been Lin Qijun who brought you in." After changing into slippers, she waved to her sister, "Lin Qijun, hello~"

"Although it was indeed Lin Qijun who brought me in, he has already left just now." Yukinoshita Yukino said.

"Eh? Just left?"

"What I mean is that Lin Qijun has left my body and doesn't need to share my body with me anymore." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed and explained honestly.

"It seems like you guys gained a lot from this adventure!" Yang Nai took her sister's hand and sat on the sofa with her, with a curious glint in her eyes, "Come and share it with your sister."

"Nothing. The enemy this time is very strong. It was Lin Qijun who controlled my body to fight..."

Unable to resist her sister's enthusiasm, Yukinoshita Yukino told her about her battle experience in detail.

When Yukinoshita Haruno heard that her sister was captured by Ryomen Sukuna and was going to be killed in front of Lin Qi, even though she knew that Yukino was sitting here telling her a story, Haruno couldn't help but feel nervous.

After hearing that Lin Qi used the slashing technique to cut off Ryomen Sukuna's arm from mid-air and saved Yukino, the short-haired beauty also exclaimed: "It sounds so cool just by listening to it. If it were me, I might fall in love with Lin Qijun on the spot."

She had a happy smile on her face and silently observed the expression on her sister's face.

"Don't joke around, sister." I thought I would see some funny expressions, but I didn't expect Yukinoshita Yukino to droop her eyebrows and her voice became low and lost, "My strength is too weak. I can't interfere with a battle of Lin Qijun's level at all."

"If I were stronger..."

If I were stronger, I wouldn't cause trouble to Lin Qijun and would be able to help him.

Seeing her biting her lower lip with a look of self-blame on her face, Yukinoshita Haruno immediately felt distressed. She reached out and touched her head, comforting her: "Don't think too much. You should know that it has only been a short time since Yukino came into contact with supernatural powers, and she already has the strength to face a second-level cursed spirit alone like now."

"You are already great. This is something my sister can never do."

"But that was also because I had Lin Qijun to guide me. If it was my sister, she would definitely be able to do better than me."

Seeing that Yukino was about to get stuck in a rut again, Yukinoshita Haruno changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I have a question for you."

"What's the problem?" Yukinoshita Yukino raised her head and looked at her puzzledly.

Yang No's tone suddenly became serious, and the smile on her face also faded a lot: "Since Lin Qijun no longer needs to share her body with you, then Xiao Xue No—"

"Are you going to continue like this?"

"Eh?" The girl didn't react for a moment.

"What I mean is, are you going to continue to be a sorcerer and exorcise cursed spirits everywhere?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked, "You can return to your normal life now, right? After all, Lin Qijun, who was a factor affecting your life, has disappeared."

"I……"

Yukinoshita Yukino opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time. A trace of confusion flashed in her beautiful navy blue eyes, as if a precious orb was covered with dust.

Do you want to continue being a sorcerer?

Lin Qijun, who has regained her own body, is no longer bound to herself as before. If a battle occurs, she has lost her trump card for victory. If she encounters an enemy she cannot defeat, she might even lose her life.

Give up the identity of a sorcerer, return to normal life, do what a student should do, study step by step, go to higher education, enter the society and work, bury the experience of more than a month as a magical and unforgettable memory, and live a stable and secure life.

While the girl was stunned, scenes suddenly flashed through her mind.

In the rental house, there is the young man who is killed and eaten by the cursed spirit; there is the chestnut-headed boy who is controlled by the curse master and tries desperately to escape before his consciousness is completely controlled; at the funeral, there are the distraught Ye Shan and others, the woman with swollen eyes from crying, and the silent man in front of the tombstone in the rain; finally, in the peaceful infirmary in the afternoon, there is the beautiful world that Lin Qijun describes for her ideal.

The more she recalled, the clearer her eyes became. The confusion faded from her eyes. After taking a deep breath, Yukinoshita Yukino slowly said, "In this world, there are many, many people who have lost their lives and their families have been destroyed because of the cruelty of the cursed spirits..."

"If I have the ability to stop these things from happening, but I don't take action, I'm afraid even eating and sleeping will feel boring."

A glimmer of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she looked firmly at the stunned Yukinoshita Haruno, and said word by word: "I want to continue!"

"I will continue to be a sorcerer. As long as I exorcise a cursed spirit, someone will be saved. Even if there are endless cursed spirits, I will continue."

"Although I am not strong enough now, as long as I work hard and ask Lin Qijun to continue to guide me, I will definitely become stronger than I am now."

As long as you are as strong as Lin Qijun, the so-called danger will no longer exist.

A seed called "Becoming Stronger" was quietly planted in the girl's heart.

……

...Chapter 88: Now I'm a Prison Master

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her sister with a slightly dazed look on her face.

The halo of the setting sun was imprinted in my eyes, gradually blurring my vision.

In my memory, my younger sister's face, which was always following me like a follower when I was a child, was filled with a carefree smile. In a trance, it gradually overlapped with the resolute face in front of me.

Coming back to her senses, Yang No suddenly leaned over the sofa backrest, without any ladylike image, and casually hung her hands on the sofa backrest like Hiratsuka Shizuka, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Ah, sister is hungry, Xiao Xue No, go and make dinner for sister!"

The good atmosphere was immediately destroyed. After being stunned for a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino smiled helplessly and got up to check the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator.

After she walked into the kitchen, Yukinoshita Haruno stared at the ceiling in a trance and let out a long sigh that only she could hear. Her calm and beautiful face made it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Dinner was ready quickly. At the table, Yukinoshita Yukino mentioned that Lin Qi was planning to buy a house and hoped that Yang Nai could help take care of it.

"After all, Lin Qijun is not from this era, so she must be confused about the various procedures for purchasing real estate." Yukinoshita Yukino said.

However, whether Lin Qi really came from a thousand years ago and what her true identity is remain a question for the time being.

Before she could ask, the other party ran away.

"Hey, Yukino-chan seems to care a lot about Lin Qijun~" Yukinoshita Haruno joked.

"I just don't want the money to be cheated away. After all, most of the time I'm the one who is working hard to deal with the cursed spirits." The black-haired girl picked up the miso soup and took a sip without changing her expression.

"Okay, okay, I got it." Yukinoshita Haruno naturally agreed to her cute sister's request, "Then Yukino, give me Lin Qijun's contact information."

"..."

The action of drinking miso soup suddenly froze, and Yukinoshita Yukino's expression also became stiff.

"Xue-no-chan, you don't have Lin Qi-jun's contact information either?" Seeing her 'miscalculated' expression, Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then you can only wait for him to contact you on his own initiative."

"After all, Lin Qijun doesn't have any proof of identity at all." Yukinoshita Yukino put down the bowl and said with a distressed look on her face.

After quickly finishing dinner, Yukinoshita Yukino prepared to go home.

"Are you leaving now? Aren't you going to stay for a night?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked, "Without Lin Qijun in your head, you can finally take a bath and sleep with your sister, ya?"

"No, I have classes tomorrow." Yukinoshita Yukino said as she changed her shoes at the entrance.

"Actually, you're worried about Lin Qijun." Yang Nai leaned against the wall and said teasingly.

“How is that possible? That guy still needs other people to worry about him?” The black-haired girl hooked her heels, stomped her feet lightly to make the soles of her shoes firm, and rolled her eyes in annoyance. “It’s better to worry about the poor people who accidentally messed with him than to worry about him.”

"That's true." Yang Nai smiled and waved goodbye to her.

After Yukinoshita Yukino left, the apartment became quiet again, with only the whirring sound of the air conditioner.

However, this kind of quietness is just right for Yukinoshita Haruno. Due to her wide social circle, it is always quite lively around her when she goes out. The rare quietness is a quiet enjoyment for her.

After cleaning the table, Yukinoshita Haruno, who was a little sweaty, prepared to take a shower.

Today, in order to cover for Yukinoshita Yukino's leave, she went to see Hiratsuka Shizuka. At noon, she was dragged by her to eat a bowl of ramen, and it was inevitable that her body was covered with some oil smoke.

When she finished her shower and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a white bath towel, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the balcony.

"Huh? You're the only one here? Koyukishita's gone?"

Lin Qi looked around the empty living room, and finally her eyes fell on the short-haired beauty who was only wrapped in a white bath towel, revealing a large area of ​​fair skin. The cleavage that was not visible on Yukinoshita Yukino's body was clearly visible here.

When she saw a strange boy suddenly appear in her home, Yukinoshita Haruno's head suddenly buzzed, and she subconsciously reached out and grabbed the loose bath towel on her chest until he spoke.

Although the face was unfamiliar, the voice was familiar.

"Lin Qijun?" she asked tentatively.

"It's me. Is this the first time we meet?" Lin Qi nodded and said.

Yukinoshita Haruno felt relieved. The only person who could be in this situation could be Lin Qi. After all, who else but him would mistake the balcony for the apartment door to enter?

"Please sit down first. If you want to find Yukino, she has been gone for a while." Yukinoshita Haruno said casually, then walked into her room and closed the door.

Two blushes appeared on her face. She was seen coming out of the bath by the boy she met for the first time. Even with years of practice in masking, she could not maintain her usual ease in this situation.

After calming down her somewhat confused emotions and changing into home clothes, Yukinoshita Haruno returned to the living room.

Lin Qi, who was leaning on the sofa, had already started drinking. When he saw her come out after changing her clothes, he picked up the beer can on the table and threw it over to her.

"You are really not polite at all, Lin Qijun." Catching the ice-cold beer thrown by Lin Qi, Yukinoshita Haruno's tone sounded a little resentful.

"The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar." Lin Qi raised his glass to her with a smile.

The short-haired girl didn't act pretentiously. She opened the can and took a sip. Then she sat on the single sofa on his left, and her curious eyes swept over the young and somewhat excessive boy in front of her.

"I didn't expect Lin Qijun to be so young. I thought she would be a boring old grandfather."

The physical appearance that the system sculpted for Lin Qi was based on his appearance in his previous life. Since he was brought to this parallel world by a dump truck at a young age, the body sculpted was naturally very young.

Besides, he doesn't look old. In his previous life, he was in his twenties and when he stood with his teenage cousin, he was often mistaken for the younger one.

"I have white hair but a youthful face." Lin Qi joked along with her words.

"But Lin Qijun obviously has black hair."

"I just dyed it. It makes me look younger. Judging from your reaction, the effect is quite good."

Yukinoshita Haruno was amused by his words and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

"I heard from Xiao Xuenai that Lin Qijun is planning to buy a house? Do you need my help?" After laughing, she did not forget what her sister asked her to do.
