Do I have to remain in that state of anger and fear to use my cursed power?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Hikigaya Hachiman denied it himself.
Just look at Lin Qi himself and you will know. When he was demonstrating the difference between a simple cursed attack and using a spell, let alone any negative emotions, he seemed to be enjoying it very much.
Does it mean that I have to be like a professional actor who can cry whenever I want, and rely on thinking about sad things to generate cursed energy when using cursed energy?
If that's the case, I'll have as much sad black history as I want!
Hikigaya Hachiman pulled off the towel from his face and immersed himself in the dusty, unbearable memories...
Feel!
This is the cursed power that was born from my dark history!
He looked at the cursed power burning in his hands and couldn't help but feel like crying. If he had to look back on the unspeakable past every time he used the cursed power, let alone fighting, he would be killed by his own dark history.
When he first learned that this world was not as peaceful as it seemed and that there were supernatural beings such as cursed spirits and sorcerers, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly became excited.
Even things like curses really exist, maybe the three great creation gods really exist too?
But after the excitement, I experienced the pain of a broken hand. Now that I calm down and think about it, I don’t even want to go to work. Can I really make up my mind to fight the cursed spirit?
Going to work means risking your life and dignity, while fighting means risking your life. So, choosing the lesser of the two, after much thought, it is better to go to work.
"Ha - if I say tomorrow that I don't want to learn spells anymore, will Master Lin Qi kill me..."
Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the bathroom ceiling with a melancholy look on his face.
……
……
I have to say, Yukinoshita Yukino is really a strong person.
"No matter how much you stare at your hands, you still can't do what you can't do." Lin Qi complained.
Just because of a wave of pulling down, the child has been struggling with himself since dinner until now, but he has never succeeded.
It is impossible to successfully master the cursed power when the heart is full of negative emotions, let alone now. Although Yukinoshita Yukino is still very annoyed by Lin Qi, the negative emotions in her heart are still far from the despair and regret she felt when Hikigaya Hachiman's arm was suddenly cut off.
This is not just a question of talent, but also a difference in cognition.
"Idiot, you always try to use existing scientific theories to understand cursed power. How can you possibly succeed?" Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino frowning and thinking hard, Lin Qi couldn't help but complain, "This thing depends on feeling, feeling!"
With him yelling in her ear all the time, Yukinoshita Yukino felt even more annoyed. She was so upset that she couldn't concentrate. If nothing else, she felt that she was full of negative emotions.
"If possible, I hope you can give me some substantive suggestions instead of chattering like a nonsense-producing machine, which only annoys me."
The girl pursed her lips and said that she had never encountered such difficulties in her studies as she did now. Even if she racked her brains, she still got nothing.
Of course I understand that we cannot use existing scientific theories to understand something as mysterious as cursed power, but this is all I can do. How can anyone understand just by feeling it! ?
"Tsk tsk, in the end you still have to rely on others." Lin Qi said calmly, "Call the teacher and let me hear it."
However, for some reason, Yukinoshita Yukino's face suddenly turned cold. She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, continuing to struggle with her white and tender palms, and even ignored Lin Qi's chattering.
Huh? Why are you suddenly angry?
Lin Qi was a little confused by the girl's sudden change of expression, but based on his high emotional intelligence, he still took action - meaning he forcibly occupied Yukinoshita Yukino's body.
【you!?】
"Don't talk, just watch and learn carefully." Lin Qi said, and personally used the girl's body to demonstrate to her how to correctly stimulate and use the magic power.
"It is impossible to extract magic power from negative emotions alone. That would be too troublesome. The correct method is to stimulate magic power from slight emotions and control it, while also avoiding wasting magic power when emotions are high."
"do you understand?"
【……perhaps.】
Although she is prone to getting stuck in a rut and getting into trouble, Yukinoshita Yukino's intelligence is genuine. The only reason she has not been successful is because of her problematic thinking. After Lin Qi forcefully controlled her body and demonstrated it to her in detail, the girl gradually understood the key points.
"Then you try it." Lin Qi said, and returned the control of her body to her.
It turned out that Yukinoshita Yukino was not just trying to be brave. Although it took some time, a weak cursed energy eventually ignited around her, enveloping her body like a blue flame.
"I... succeeded?" Although the process was a bit bumpy, the joy of success still made her smile unconsciously.
But she soon realized that she was getting angry, so she forced herself to suppress the excitement in her heart, and washed an apple in the open kitchen sink with an expressionless face and held it in her hand.
Facing the Parasite-kun who always makes her angry, Yukinoshita Yukino really cannot express her gratitude frankly. In addition, she still bears a grudge against Ryomen Sukuna, the villain from a thousand years ago. Doing this is already her limit.
The heart is soft, the mouth is hard.
What's wrong with this guy? Is he a tsundere?
Lin Qi smiled secretly in her heart while biting the apple in her hand, tacitly accepting the girl's kindness.

Chapter 13: Add water, just add water
After school, Hikigaya Hachiman sat in his seat for a long time and was unwilling to move.
"Hayato, let's go to karaoke and sing together later?"
"I'm sorry, Yumiko, I have club activities. Can you guys go first? I'll be there after training."
"That's it. Yui, you're going too, right?"
"Ahahaha... Sorry, I have something to do later... Next time! I'll definitely go next time!"
The students in the class were either joining clubs or making appointments to go to a karaoke bar later. The most noisy group of people left chatting and laughing, and soon Hikigaya Hachiman was the only one left in the class. There seemed to be a hidden gaze directed at him, but he was worrying about what to do next and did not notice it.
Originally, he should have gone to the Service Club to participate in club activities at this time, but when he thought about accepting Lin Qi's Spartan-style devil training, he couldn't help feeling timid.
I really don’t want to go...but if I make Uncle Lin Qi angry, the consequences will be something I can’t afford.
After hesitating for a long time, Hikigaya Hachiman reluctantly stood up, put on his backpack and walked towards the special building.
Then, I ran into a pink-haired girl who was about to knock on the door at the service department.
The pink hair was tied into a cute bun on the left side of her head, and her already cute face was lightly made up; the Western-style uniform jacket was open, and the white shirt inside was stretched very full; the plaid skirt seemed to be shortened on purpose, revealing two plump and perfectly round thighs, and the black calf socks were tightly attached to the calves, outlining a perfect curve.
All in all, she is a JK who exudes youthful and active aura.
They seem to be students in the same class.
Hikigaya Hachiman had some impression of this cute girl. If he remembered correctly, she should be a member of the Miura Group. Her name was Yuigahama Yui, and no one knew what she was doing in the Service Club.
By the way...what exactly does the Service Club do?
While he was looking at the other person, the girl also noticed him.
"Xiao, Xiaoqi!? Why are you here!?" Yuigahama Yui was startled and took two steps back like a frightened animal, as if she was surprised that he would appear here.
"No... I'm a member of the club here." Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his head and said, then suddenly realized the other party's address to him, "Also, what's that strange name, Xiaoqi?"
Is this what it is? Making fun of people by giving them nicknames?
He couldn't help but think of the time when he was named "Frog" in junior high school.
"…What are you daydreaming about?" Yuigahama Yui blushed a little at his dull look.
"Ahem... Anyway, let's go in first." Hikigaya Hachiman came to his senses, coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, then took the initiative to open the door of the service club's classroom and walked in.
The girl with the bun-haired hair followed him closely: "Excuse me."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the black-haired girl who was sitting by the window and reading quietly raised her head subconsciously and looked at the two people at the door.
"Yukinoshita, there's a strange person here." Hikigaya Hachiman pointed his thumb at the bun-haired girl behind him.
"I'm not a weird person!" Yuigahama Yui pouted and retorted, "It was Teacher Hiratsuka who asked me to come here. She said that students' wishes can be fulfilled here!"
Huh? So the Service Club is a wish-granting machine?
Hikigaya Hachiman was shocked.
"It's not a wish fulfillment, Yuigahama Yui from Class F, Grade 2." Yukinoshita Yukino closed the book and placed it on the desk beside her. Then she brought a chair for her, wiped it clean and let her sit down.
"Ah, thank you...By the way, you know me!?" Yuigahama Yui sat down on the chair in a daze.
"I think you have memorized all the students in the grade." Hikigaya Hachiman said.
Without denying his words, Yukinoshita Yukino continued the previous topic: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. The Service Club is a club established to help others. We will lend a hand to students in need."
It turns out it’s not a wishing machine, but a Yorozuya?
A trace of regret flashed through Hikigaya Hachiman's heart.
"Yuigahama-san, what is your commission?" Not knowing what Hikigaya Hachiman was thinking, Yukinoshita Yukino asked calmly.
As for why it was fake...
[Wow, this girl is completely different from you. It's amazing that a high school student can develop to this level.]
Because the speech from the boss that kept ringing in her head was constantly stimulating her blood pressure.
"Um..." When asked about her purpose, Yuigahama Yui suddenly became shy, blushing as she stole a glance at Hikigaya Hachiman beside her, "I want to make cookies myself and give them to others. It really is more meaningful to make this kind of thing by yourself, right?"
"For something like that, why not just go find your friend?" Hikigaya Hachiman said, supporting his cheek.
"I don't really want them to know..." The girl with the bun-haired hair said hesitantly, and she forced a smile on her face that seemed to be trying to please them. "Besides, it doesn't seem appropriate to talk about such a serious matter."
"Anyway, I just need to teach you how to make cookies, right?" Yukinoshita Yukino stood up calmly, "Well, let's go to the home economics classroom now."
"Really? Are you willing to help me? Thank you!" Yuigahama Yui, who was originally in a low mood, immediately broke into a bright smile on her face, and hugged Yukinoshita Yukino's arm like a dog wagging its tail happily. The latter immediately felt a soft wrapping feeling on the arm being hugged.
【Oh hoo! 】
Yukinoshita Yukino was having a hard time dealing with Yuigahama's overwhelming enthusiasm. She didn't even have time to pay attention to the strange cries coming from Lin Qi in her head. She pushed her shoulder with a distressed look on her face: "...Too close, Yuigahama-san."
"Hehehe~" Yuigahama Yui just kept grinning foolishly.
After Yukinoshita Yukino and Hiratsuka Shizuka applied for the right to use the home economics classroom, the three of them went to the classroom. Since they were in a special building, it didn't take much time, and there were ready-made ingredients available.
"Yuigahama-san, do you have any experience in cooking or baking?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino before starting.
"Well, does instant noodles count?" Yuigahama Yui asked after thinking for a while.
Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."
"That just needs to be added with boiling water, right?"
Hikigaya Hachiman complained subconsciously. He looked at the girl with the bun-haired look on her innocent face and had a bad feeling in his heart - he was in charge of the food tasting.
……

Chapter 14: I am the Minister
"No basic knowledge, so let's start with the simplest butter cookies."
After sighing helplessly, Yukinoshita Yukino said as she prepared the ingredients needed to make cookies: "I'll demonstrate it first, and then you can follow."
Add granulated sugar and a little salt to the softened butter, beat it into a paste, then add flour and stir into a batter; put the batter into a cookie mold, compress it into shape, put it in the oven, set the timer and wait for it to come out of the oven.
The steps are simple and there are no other complicated operations, which is very suitable for beginners. Even Hikigaya Hachiman who was watching on the side and Lin Qi who was watching from the first person perspective have learned it.
"How is it? Do you feel any difficulty or don't understand anything?" After placing the baked cookies on a plate, Yukinoshita Yukino turned and asked Yuigahama Yui.
"What a delicious smell!" The girl with the bun-haired hair looked at the cookies carefully arranged into a spiral pattern with shining eyes, clenched her fists and said confidently, "I completely understand! No problem!"
"Add sugar and salt to the butter, right? Hey!" Yuigahama Yui acted happily.
"You should soften the butter first, Yuigahama-san," Yukinoshita Yukino reminded.
"Oh, I know!"
As Yukinoshita said, after slightly heating the butter to soften it, Yuigahama got a plate of a mixture of butter, sugar and salt. Although there were some mistakes in the steps and the details were not very good, it was still within the acceptable range for Yukinoshita Yukino so far.
"Sure enough, cookies taste better if they are a little sweeter, right?" Yuigahama muttered, turning to Hikigaya Hachiman and asking, "Hikigaya likes sweeter ones, too, right?"
"Well... indeed. After all, life is already so bitter, so I hope to at least have a little more sweetness in my diet." Hikigaya Hachiman said, and saw the bun-haired girl sprinkle a handful of fine sugar on the paste on the plate while chatting and laughing.
He twitched his eyes subconsciously.
I do like sweet food, but this is a lethal dose, right?
[I advise you to stop her immediately.] Lin Qi, who was watching this scene through Yukinoshita Yukino's line of sight in the area, had the same expression on her face as Hikigaya Hachiman.
[Correcting Yuigahama-san's approach after she has failed once will leave a deeper impression.] Yukinoshita Yukino said with ease, looking very confident in her teaching method.
