Love is not as fun as World of Warcraft

She swore to God that from the time she entered school until now, she had never seen her club leader have any communication with any boy other than business matters. Even half of the girls in the tea ceremony club had tacitly accepted that their club leader was a lesbian and had no interest in boys at all.

But how could she give in to such a humble man?

Could it be that it’s because we, a group of people, don’t know Ichinose Kagaki well enough, and it turns out that she just likes this kind of personality?

There was a sense of destruction in her eyes, as if her worldview had collapsed. The girl wanted to think that there was something wrong with her hearing, but from the alien-like looks in the eyes of the other students next to her, she was sure that she was not the only one who heard these words.

"Okay, that's a deal then. I won't bother you for now."

Seeing that she agreed so readily, Shirasaka naturally had no intention of staying here any longer. He stood up decisively, waved his hand, and walked straight towards the classroom.

What can I say about this girl? She's surprisingly straightforward. It was the same yesterday. I thought I might have a fight with her, but she just gave me a reminder and left.

Today he agreed to his request so directly that Shirasaka was prepared to be kicked out, but the result was much smoother than he had imagined.

Behind Shirasaka, the group of students whose worldviews were about to collapse could only grit their teeth and let Shirasaka leave, but some of them with quicker brains reacted quickly and rushed directly in front of Kagami Ichinose.

"Ichinose-senpai, can I have your contact information?"

"Ichinose-san, I'm a katana player, I'm worse than him..."

"Marry me, Ichinose-senpai~"

……

Unfortunately, facing this group of students who suddenly went crazy, Ichinose Kagaki simply tidied up the things in front of him and walked back to the tea ceremony club behind him, leaving only a low but extremely clear sentence that was heard among the crowd.

"No, disgusting."

Chapter 26 You Have a Problem

The afternoon classes were still simple for Shirasaka, and he also felt a little bit the benefits that the improvement of his intelligence brought to him.

It's not something that directly develops his brain to 100% and his IQ goes straight to 250, but it's simply that his memory has been greatly improved.

Many things that previously required repeated recitation to memorize, can now be memorized by Shirasaka after just one look, and are no longer easily forgotten.

At the same time, Shirasaka could also feel that intelligence had a significant impact on his concentration and energy. For example, in the history course, which used to require him to be extremely alert to ensure he didn't fall asleep, he didn't feel sleepy at all during this class.

But whether this is a good thing or not is another matter. At least Shirasaka himself misses the old self who could fall asleep at any time. Listening to this stuff is really boring.

Fortunately, the day finally passed. The moment the bell rang, Shirasaka had packed up his things, turned around and walked out the door.

Sitting in the first seat in the first row, only at this time can you have the power to surpass others.

Walking quickly to the school gate, Shirasaka stretched and stopped in a more conspicuous place. He was not like Kagami Ichinose, a beautiful girl who was the center of attention wherever she went. If he didn't find a conspicuous place, no one would notice him.

Ichinose Kagami only told me to wait for her, but she didn't give me her contact information. If I missed her, all my future plans with Shirasaka would be delayed.

Fortunately, Shirasaka didn't have to wait long there before he was directly pulled to a somewhat hidden flower bed nearby.

"What do you want from me?"

Ichinose Kagami who suddenly appeared seemed to have dressed up deliberately. Even her conspicuous dark purple long hair was covered by her hat. No wonder Shirasaka didn't see her in the crowd at first sight.

"Ichinose-san, let me confirm first, the person I met last night was you, right?"

Shirasaka blinked. Even though he had already made up his mind about it, he still had to talk to her openly.

"Yes."

Ichinose Kagami glanced at Shirasaka and gave the same concise and clear answer without any hesitation.

Even though she herself was a little confused about how Shirasaka recognized her, she was sure that her disguise was very good and she had deliberately set up talismans on her body that could disrupt her cognition, but Shirasaka was still able to recognize her identity at a glance.

However, for her, revealing her identity was not a particularly difficult thing. Firstly, it was something that was hard to believe. Secondly, Shirasaka himself was not an ordinary person who was completely unaware of the situation. In fact, his own identity was much easier to investigate than hers.

Besides, the organization she belongs to is actually supported by official background. If Shirasaka really uses these things to threaten herself, she will only be asking for trouble.

"That's good. Actually, the main reason I came to see you was to ask you something."

Shirasaka rubbed his hands. At this point, he actually felt embarrassed.

"explain."

"Didn't you say yesterday that if we wanted to eliminate the monster in Chang'an, we had to find someone to apply for it, and there would be a reward or something, right?"

Shirasaka looked at the girl in front of him with anticipation. Her appearance and figure were not important at the moment. In his eyes, this was the legendary NPC who teleported to the entrance of the training room.

"Yes, you saw a monster again? Is it usually in the dark or in the real world?"

When Ichinose Kagamihara heard Shirasaka's question, a different expression finally appeared on her icy little face. She turned her frowning face towards Shirasaka. The reason she came to meet Shirasaka was because she was worried about this kind of thing.

No matter what, the young man in front of him was the one who had eliminated a dark place and dealt with the monsters inside. He came to him and said that he needed to contact him for something important, so something must have really happened.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said these things in front of so many people.

The only thing that could compel him to contact me was something related to the monsters in Chang'an.

"No, I just wanted to ask if there are any other monsters around here. From what you said before, it seems that you encourage others to help deal with these things. Can you share the specific location with me?"

Shirasaka scratched his head. It was the first time he had seen a monster yesterday. He was still hoping that Kagami Ichinose could show him the way.

If he really saw other monsters, would he still come to find the girl in front of him?

"Ok?"

The confusion in Ichinose Kagami's eyes became even more pronounced. She even didn't understand for a moment what Shirasaka meant.

"What I mean is, I want to go fight monsters. Can you tell me where the monsters gather? Do you understand me?"

Shirasaka sighed deeply. Seeing her expression, he knew that he had to play it straight, so he simply told her his plan.

The worst that could happen is that she'll think I'm sick. As long as I make my point clear, that's all that's fine.

"Ah."

Facts have proved that for someone with a personality like Kagami Ichinose, playing it straight might really be the best way to get along with him. After Shirasaka said this, the confusion on her face immediately dissipated, and she nodded slightly at him, indicating that she understood what he wanted to do.

"you have a problem."

After pondering for a moment, Ichinose Kagami finally summed up his answer in one sentence.

For a normal person, encountering a monster would be something that they would try to avoid as much as possible. Ichinose Kagami could only say that it was unprecedented for someone like Shirasaka to take the initiative to come forward and ask him about going to fight a monster.

Either there's something wrong with Shirasaka's brain, or there's something wrong with him as a person. He must be planning something by doing this.

"Uh, just think of it as a question. I just want to ask if you can help me with this. I can't figure it out on my own."

Shirasaka pursed her lips. What Ichinose Kagami said was not very pleasant to hear, but that was just the way he was, so it was no wonder that people said that to her.

If he were in Kagamihara Ichinose's position, he would also wonder if there was something wrong with his brain.

"..."

This time, Ichinose Kagami fell into an even longer silence. After all, this involved a monster that was life-threatening, and no matter what, she couldn't treat it casually.

"I can help, but I have to go with you."

Chapter 27 He's a Nice Guy

Ichinose Kagami made this decision after careful consideration.

First of all, as far as Shirasaka knows, there must be other monsters that exist.

In the area of Kamihama City that she was responsible for alone, there were no less than ten known cases of Chang'an, not to mention the many that had not yet been discovered.

After all, not everyone has the talent of an Onmyoji, so it is difficult for them to detect Chang'an. And Chang'an is something that naturally has the effect of expelling ordinary people.

This is why, although there are occasional urban strange stories here, it has not reached the point where everyone knows about the existence of monsters. Most ordinary people think that they are just rumors spread by word of mouth, or are just monsters that appear in imagination.

So if Shirasaka wanted to go find him, she could definitely take him there.

Secondly, it is her duty to destroy monsters. Every anti-monster ninja represents the blood of the previous generation of Onmyoji flowing in their bodies. Destroying monsters and protecting humans is the mission of their clan.

If it weren't for the fact that ordinary humans have no way of moving around in the darkness under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have just sat back and watched so many of them appear.

Perhaps the orthodox Onmyojis of ancient times could still perform their duty of slaying demons by means of Onmyoji techniques, but in modern times when the inheritance is already very little left, it is already difficult enough for them to prevent the demons in the dark from escaping into the world and hurting people.

Therefore, for Ichinose Kagami, deeds like Shirasaka's, who went straight into the darkness and defeated the monsters there without any harm, were simply shocking facts.

This is also the reason why she was able to remain friendly when she first faced Shirasaka.

Anyone who was an enemy of the monsters was a friend of the monster ninjas, so she had no reason to engage in fearless conflict with him.

However, Kagami Ichinose did not expect that Shirasaka would take the initiative to find him again, and the reason was that she wanted to continue looking for other monsters.

Nowadays, everyone who encounters a monster wants to stay away from it. Even people with special abilities don't want to be involved with it.

After all, these monsters have some intelligence. They are monsters born from the malice and desire of this world, and their desire for revenge is extremely strong. Eliminating them will not bring any benefits. Once they escape into the darkness, it will be even more difficult to kill them.

Even the official attitude towards these guys is to control them as much as possible and not let them come out of the darkness. As long as they are not exposed to the public's view and cause chaos, it is the best result for them.

Ichinose Kagami herself had never thought that anyone would take the initiative to touch such an unlucky thing as Chang'an. Now that Shirasaka came to her door herself, how could she have any reason to refuse?

And even if Shirasaka wanted to secretly use Chang'an to carry out some conspiracy, even if he didn't tell him, it would only be a matter of time for him to find Chang'an in this huge city.

If that's the case, why not choose to go with him? Firstly, it would allow him to effectively monitor whether he has any conspiracy, and secondly, Ichinose Kagami is also somewhat curious about Shirasaka's abilities.

What kind of person is able to eliminate monsters in the constant darkness?

"If you agree, I'll take you there."

After reiterating his conditions once again, Ichinose Kagami finally came back to his senses from his thoughts and confirmed with Shirasaka.

It was at this moment that she took a serious look at the young man in front of her for the first time, so as to deepen her understanding of Shirasaka.

It's true that he looks a little handsome, but that's all.

Apart from that, the young man in front of him looked like a high school student of about the same age as himself. It was impossible to imagine that he could single-handedly go deep into the darkness and eliminate a hungry ghost that even a fully armed anti-demon ninja might not be able to take down.

But the facts are the facts. Ichinose Kagami has always believed that seeing is believing, so she also knows that since Shirasaka said he wanted to deal with the monster, he must have the ability to do so.

"You want to join the fight too?"

Shirasaka smacked his lips in embarrassment, a moment of confusion appearing on his face.

However, the reason for his entanglement was not what Kagami Ichinose thought. He did not want to expose his secret.

But...if I bring this guy in front of me in with me, she won't take away my experience, right?

Stealing wild monsters is a very normal thing in World of Warcraft.

When leveling up in the jungle, there is always the possibility that a green-skinned swordsman will suddenly appear from some direction, kill the wild monster that you have injured with one sword, and take away the treasure it dropped, leaving you standing there and becoming a clown working for others for free.

Shirasaka wasn't sure whether the person in front of her could be considered an ally, and whether she would steal her experience.

"Yes."

Ichinose Kagami nodded, his response still as concise as ever.

"How about I make a condition? Once we enter the Darkness, I'll handle all the monsters. You don't have to interfere. Is that okay?"

After hesitating for a long time, Shirasaka nodded and added another sentence.

"Of course, I may not be able to spare the time to protect you, so if something unexpected happens, you can just leave me alone and don't worry about my life or death. That's fair, right?"

After all, she was just a novice and had no experience in combat. Shirasaka didn't want to end up with a burden, so she told her about it at the beginning so that if something really happened, she wouldn't be completely unprepared.

"make a deal."

After another period of silence, Ichinose Kagami nodded slightly, which was considered as his agreement.

In Kagami Ichinose's opinion, Shirasaka was unexpectedly responsible. He even said that at the critical moment, she could ignore him and just run away. This was even more beyond her expectations.

She thought Shirasaka would ask her to help him do something, but if it turned out that he just needed to do this, then she had no reason to refuse.

I just wonder what kind of expression Ichinose Kagami would have if she knew that the reason Shirasaka said that was because she treated her as a burden who could take away her experience at any time.

"Very good, it's a pleasure to work with you. Lead the way~"

Chapter 28 Let’s forget it

Shirasaka looked at the Japanese-style courtyard in front of him, which was a circle larger than the apartment he rented. He then looked at Ichinose Kagami who was about to go in. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly asked the question in his mind.

"This... doesn't look like a place where monsters would appear, does it?"

Glancing at the servants busying around in the courtyard, and thinking about the location in the luxurious area of Kamihama, Shirasaka didn't think that such a place could possibly hide something like a monster.

"this is my house."

Ichinose Kagaki, who was walking in front, didn't even turn his head. He just handed his schoolbag to the maid who came forward to serve him, and then answered Shirasaka's question.
