Love is not as fun as World of Warcraft

The most important thing when dealing with people is sincerity. At least Ichinose Kagami is impeccable in this regard. If you have any requests, just raise them directly. Why act like a riddler?

"We've been partners for a long time, haven't we? If you still want to deepen our cooperation, do you want to be my girlfriend?"

Shirasaka smiled and joked with the icy girl in front of him. Ever since the first time she worked with him and tried her best to save him from Yamauba, Shirasaka had already recognized Ichinose Kagamikashi as his companion.

"..."

"The Ichinose family only allows marriages by marriage."

To Shirasaka's surprise, after hearing his joke, Kagami Ichinose actually thought about it carefully for a long time, and finally gave an answer that left Shirasaka speechless.

So she really wants to tie me up with her to death?

"Okay, okay, it's just a joke. I don't like girls with an icy personality like you. If you don't know, you might think you're in love with a robot."

Shirasaka decisively waved her hand to avoid the topic and politely refused Ichinose.

"Is that so?"

Reaching out and stroking her delicate and beautiful little face, Ichinose Kagami looked at Shirasaka who had turned her head away. Her eyes flickered and she muttered to herself, not knowing what she was thinking.

Shirasaka was in no mood to care about her girlish thoughts at this time. He was mainly waiting for the moment when the hungry ghost's body disappeared. A strange thing appeared in the direction where it disappeared, which completely attracted his attention.

I saw a red spherical object that looked like a beating heart suspended in the air, with black and red aura constantly being released from it as it beat in a regular pattern. Just one look at it was enough to attract anyone's attention.

The more Shirasaka looked at this thing, the more familiar it seemed.

"Don't be in a daze. What the hell did that fall out? Have you seen it before?"

After confirming that this was not a treasure from Warcraft, Shirasaka pushed Kagami Ichinose beside her. It was she who brought Chang'an here, and it was also she who discovered the hungry ghost. It was only right that she should have a share in the division of the spoils.

It's not the same kind of World of Warcraft items as before, so Baisaka still won't trigger the passive function of automatic pickup in this aspect.

Even though he had a rough guess about the item in front of him, Shirasaka still needed to confirm with the girl next to him. What if the settings of this thing had changed?

"Huh? A soul core actually dropped? What a pity, it's the soul core of a lowest-level hungry ghost."

Ichinose Kagami, whose thoughts were interrupted by Shirasaka, came back to his senses. He also noticed the red heart of Naruto floating in the air, and called out its name in surprise, then sighed with regret.

When Shirasaka heard her say the name that was exactly the same as the one in his memory, he already understood what this was.

"This is the source of a youkai's power... Onmyoji can use it as a sacrifice to summon shikigami, and those in the Magical Girls' Association know how to absorb its power for their own use. Even a low-level soul core like this is an extremely rare item."

Ichinose Kagaki carefully explained to Shirasaka the purpose of the heart in front of him, but his tone did not show any possessiveness towards this thing.

"Hmm, wait, you said a lot, I need to digest it for a while, please give me some time."

Shirasaka was originally thinking about whether he could use the so-called soul core in front of him to release monster skills like A Xiu, but a word that appeared in Ichinose Kagami's explanation almost made him feel dizzy and almost fainted.

No, so this is still the same Kamihama? Is the magical girl waiting for me?

Chapter 61 The magical girl is still chasing me!

"what happened?"

Ichinose Kagami was obviously puzzled by Shirasaka's reaction. He didn't seem to say anything. Although this soul core was precious, it shouldn't make him so excited, right?

"No, you just mentioned the Magical Girls' Association? Is there such an organization here?"

Shirasaka curled his lips, he still felt it was a bit outrageous. Okay, Shenjin, if it was just Nioh, then the boss he would at most encounter would be something like Tamamonomae or Daiyumaru. It's not impossible to beat him if he leveled up and learned some skills.

This fucking magical girl is different. Her ordinary combat power is just enough to make her fight like crazy, but she can't stand the multi-level monster ring above her.

Even if it was unlikely that he would become an enemy, Kyubey alone was enough to give him a headache.

"Yes, just like the Taiyao Ninja, they are all affiliated with an organization outside the official ranks that protects ordinary people."

The confusion on Ichinose Kagami's face deepened, and she was obviously confused as to why Shirasaka had such a big reaction to the name of the Magical Girls Club.

"It's full of magical girls?"

Shirasaka covered her face, but then she thought again and felt something was wrong. Even if this was Kamihama and not Mitaki Gen, according to the setting, ordinary magical girls would use a dimensionality reduction attack against monsters. If there really were these monsters disguised as beautiful girls, how could it be her turn to clean up Chang'an?

"No, its full name is the Magical Girls' Association, but because it's too difficult to pronounce, the official name is usually shortened to Magical Girls' Association."

"That's just the name of the magic society that manages this area of Kamihama City. There's also a magic men's society next door."

Ichinose Kagami shook his head, still not understanding why Shirasaka cared about these things.

"..."

For a moment, Shirasaka didn't know where to start complaining about these things. If there is nothing to do, just don't randomly use the abbreviation. It's scary, okay!

Why don’t you just call the Magic Society the Magic Society? Why do you have to emphasize the girlish attribute?

After taking a long breath, Shirasaka finally relaxed a little. As long as she wasn't a magical girl, it at least proved that the world she lived in wasn't that dangerous.

"Besides these, you haven't told me what use this thing can have on you against the demon ninjas?"

Shirasaka, feeling a little relieved, changed the subject and began to show concern for the girl next to him.

Judging from her behavior just now, it seemed that she had no need for this thing, which made Shirasaka quite curious.

"It can be made into a bomb through some secret methods, but unfortunately, these secret methods have been lost. Therefore, for us demon ninjas, this is usually used as a bargaining chip in transactions with other organizations."

Ichinose Kagami looked at the soul core floating in the air with some regret, and explained to Shirasaka indifferently.

It’s not that she doesn’t want this thing, but if she has no way to use it, it will be useless.

"This item is extremely important to the members of the Magical Girls' Association. They need to absorb soul cores to gain the power within them. They also need new soul cores to transfer the resentment brought about by using the power of monsters, and at the same time replenish the monster power within them."

"Without soul cores, those people would gradually be infected by the resentment brought about by the use of demonic power, and eventually transform into monsters no different from youkai."

"So, my advice is not to absorb this thing without permission... selling it to someone from the Magical Girls Association might be the best option."

Ichinose Kagami remembered that Shirasaka seemed to be very short of money. After hesitating for a moment, he gave Shirasaka the proposal that he thought was most suitable for him.

As a ninja, she actually found it a bit difficult to understand why those people in the magic society absorbed soul cores. Although this could temporarily gain more powerful strength, it would come at a more serious price.

If possible, she didn't want Shirasaka to become that kind of person, although he didn't seem to have the ability to absorb soul cores like those people in the magic society.

But what Ichinose Kagami didn't know was that while she was saying this, Shirasaka in front of her was thinking about something else.

——Isn’t this still a magical girl in some way?

Power comes from the soul core, but using power will inevitably turn one into a monster. In order to avoid turning into a monster, one can only hunt monsters to obtain soul cores to absorb resentment, otherwise one will eventually turn into a monster.

Well, if you randomly change a few words here, it seems to be the same thing.

The corners of Shirasaka's mouth twitched, and in the end he could only sigh that fortunately the monsters in this world would appear out of thin air, and they were not as hopeless as the monkey liquor where enemies were of the same origin. This was also the only gentle thing in this world.

As for the suggestion made by Kagami Ichinose, Shirasaka didn't care much about it. He reached out and took down the soul core floating in the air, and Shirasaka looked at it carefully.

It was like a heart beating in Shirasaka's palm, with an ominous black and red aura surrounding it. Shirasaka just grabbed it and felt a deep disgust, and instinctively wanted to throw it aside.

It is worthy of being a thing born from the collective of malice in the world. Shirasaka doesn't know how those people have the courage to absorb it.

After confirming that this thing seemed to have no other function besides disgusting himself, and that he couldn't equip it directly like the protagonist of the game, Shirasaka shook his head and put it back where it was.

"How much can this thing sell for?"

Although he couldn't guarantee that he would find a way to use this thing in the future, considering that it was just the soul core of a lowest-level hungry ghost, Shirasaka didn't feel bad, but decisively chose to accept Kagamihara Ichinose's proposal.

I'll fight more monsters in the future, so I'll need something better. This thing is taking up a space in my hand, so I might as well sell it for money.

Upon hearing this, Kagami Ichinose stretched out five fingers and gestured towards Shirasaka.

"Five million yen...it's pretty good for a piece of trash like Hungry Ghost."

Shirasaka pinched his chin and was silent for a moment. If he hadn't picked up the stolen money, this price would have been enough to make him jump for joy, but now he is a multi-millionaire after all, so he can naturally treat the five million calmly.

"At least fifty million."

"The magic society will still owe you a favor."

Ichinose Kagami silently interrupted Shirasaka's mumbling, and then gave a price that left Shirasaka stunned.

"Well... well, it's mainly because I can't stand seeing people turn into monsters, you know? I'm a kind person, so I'd like you to help me sell this thing. Is that okay with you?"

Shirasaka coughed twice, then pretended to be indifferent and smiled at Kagami Ichinose beside him, and then asked her to help him sell the thing.

At the same time, Shirasaka began to laugh wildly inwardly.

Wouldn't this be a huge profit? It was rare to encounter a kidnapper like the one before. There wasn't so much money lying on the ground for you to pick up, but this monster was different.

According to Kagami Ichinose, there are countless known and unknown Tokuan in Kamihama City, big and small. Isn't it a simple matter of losing a few soul cores?

If one can be sold for 50 million, then it seems like it’s only a matter of time before he becomes a billionaire. Isn’t this much more profitable than working?

"can."

Ichinose Kagami nodded, then took out his cell phone, walked aside, and began to contact his fellow anti-demon ninjas who were responsible for cleaning up the mess.

Shirasaka crossed his arms and looked at the 50 million floating in the air, as if he saw his own glamorous future. He couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

I will be a rich man in the future, so how should I spend my money?

As for things like food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is better to take care of the living place first. In the future, it is inevitable that I may choose some summoning or recruitment skills, and then the place I live now will not be able to accommodate those things.

It is still necessary to have a bigger house of your own.

Even if it is necessary to build troop-dispatching buildings in the future, the required land will be even larger, and Shirasaka will have to divide it into areas that need to be considered.

"Ichinose."

"Ok?"

After contacting his companions and asking them to come and transport the soul core away, Kagami Ichinose quietly looked at the young man in front of him who suddenly called him, and nodded in response as usual.

"Do you know how much it would cost to buy a house as big as yours with a yard?"

Shirasaka, who had no experience in buying a house, could only place his hopes on the young lady next to him. How to say it, he now almost regarded Ichinose Kagami as his own exclusive secretary. Who said she was so useful?

No matter whether she knows or not, I'll ask her first. She will definitely give me an answer.

"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be less than a billion yen, if the yard is that big."

Ichinose Kagamikashi also had no idea about this. The only thing she knew was that the courtyard of her house seemed to be quite large, but why did Shirasaka ask this?

If he had money, it would be normal to buy a house, but if he lived alone, was it necessary for him to buy such a huge yard?

No matter how rich you are, you shouldn't squander it like this.

"Over a billion? I really have to keep working hard. Real estate in Japan is really that expensive."

With a slight sigh of regret, Shirasaka suddenly felt that the tens of millions in his hands didn't seem to be that much anymore.

So after working so hard for so long, all I got was only enough to buy a toilet for the Ichinose family?

What’s wrong with this damn money-oriented world?

Chapter 62: Isn’t it coming?

After leaving the matter of selling the soul core to Kagami Ichinose, Shirasaka, who had nothing to do, returned to school.

After lying comfortably on the table for an entire afternoon, Shirasaka felt his energy was restored by the time school was over.

After that, there will be two days of vacation, and I will have more free time to deal with various things, such as going to Ichinose Kagami to ask if there are any gold mines nearby, or going to see if the activities of the Kyon Esoteric Cult are still going on on the weekend.

There are still many things to be busy with, and the holidays are not necessarily the time to rest completely.

While making plans for the next two days, Shirasaka walked to the door of Nanashiki Mio's class. He had not forgotten this little quail, and it was necessary to come over and check on her situation at this time.

After all, if someone still bullies her, he will have to use some special violent means. If the other party is unreasonable, he naturally doesn't need to talk about martial ethics.

However, the result was still good. Judging from the looks her classmates gave Nanashiki Mio, these people were more surprised by the changes in her appearance, while those who really wanted to repeat the previous bullying behavior did not have the courage to do so.

What a joke. You have to know that Ichinose Kagami's influence in Kamihama Academy is much higher than Shirasaka imagined. His aunt is a member of the board of directors of this academy, not to mention that she herself is also the epitome of a walking lady from a noble family.

Given the background and details of these students, it would be too much of an honor to want to provoke the people brought by Kagami Ichinose himself.

In fact, Nanashiki Mio's failure to rely on this background to go after Qingsuan and the others can be regarded as a manifestation of kindness. After all, these bullies really didn't do much before.

"Shirasaka-san~"

The girl who was originally sitting in the corner and still seemed unable to fit in with the group, felt like she had found a life-saving straw after seeing Shirasaka. She crawled behind him like a small animal returning to its nest and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Even with the support of Kagami Ichinose, Mio Nanashiki still couldn't adapt to the changes in her classmates. She was still worried that she would be bullied, and only when she stood behind Shirasaka could she feel a little safe.

No matter what, at least Shirasaka will protect her.

With this thought in mind, Nanashiki Mio's nervousness calmed down, but the fingers that were grabbing the corner of Shirasaka's clothes became a little tighter.

"Why, you haven't been bullied today, right?"
