Love is not as fun as World of Warcraft

Shirasaka looked her up and down, and after making sure that she didn't seem to be covered in wounds like before, he led her out of the school and asked her.

He didn't expect Nanashiki Mio to be able to return to a normal life in such a short time. It was already good enough that she was not bullied.

As for the green garlic and other things that made those who bullied her pay the price, he would have to settle the score later. Anyway, he had plenty of time to get back at the little quail he raised.

"No, someone even came to me and apologized."

When Nanashiki Mio spoke to Shirasaka, she was obviously more confident and her voice was much more normal. She was no longer stuttering as before, as if she was afraid of being beaten.

"Well, you won't forgive them just like that, will you?"

Shirasaka turned her head and looked into Nanashiki Mio's eyes with a questioning look. It was normal for someone to apologize to her. After all, with the great god Kagamihara around, few people would dare to encounter this bad luck.

However, if the apology is just a light-hearted "I'm sorry", then you are thinking too simply of the person. If the apology is useful, then can you bully back?

Will the wound caused by a sorry be healed?

If it were Shirasaka, she would definitely want to push the other person into the bathroom and treat him to a set meal, but the problem is that the person involved is Nanashiki Mio. Given the Japanese's magical brain circuit and her cowardly personality, Shirasaka might not nod in agreement.

"I ignored them..."

Nanase Mio shook her little head like a rattle. She wanted to stay away from those people and didn't want to talk to them. How could she accept their apology?

What's more, she is just soft-hearted, which doesn't mean she really has no personal emotions. The despair and pain caused by being bullied cannot be reconciled with just one sentence.

"Shirasaka-san, do you want me to reconcile? Would that stop causing you any trouble?"

But even so, when Nanashiki Mio saw that Shirasaka was concerned about this matter, she still bit her lower lip in some confusion and asked for his opinion.

As long as I reconcile with those people, I won't cause any more trouble for Shirasaka, right? He has a lot of things to do, so how can he keep focusing on such a small matter like mine?

"Huh? I've been thinking about when I'll have time to take you and beat them up one by one. If you really reconcile like this, I'll really look down on you, okay?"

Shirasaka rolled his eyes at the girl in front of him. He had no idea what was going on in her mind. How saintly did he have to be to hope that she would reconcile with the bully?

He wished he could go up there on time every week and have a meal, just like punching in for work.

Shirasaka never had any sympathy for bullies. If he didn't still have some humanity, finding an opportunity to secretly chop them off would have been a good option.

"Well, I'm glad I didn't bring you any trouble."

Nanashiki Mio's tone was obviously much more relaxed, and she subconsciously quickened her pace a little bit to get closer to the boy in front of her. Finally, a smile from the heart appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Sure enough, her choice was not wrong. If life was like this, how could she have any reason to give up?

"You don't need to worry about this kind of trouble, but I'd love for you to bring me more trouble with evil spirits. By the way, have you ever seen an evil spirit at school? For example, Hanako in the toilet, or the moving mannequin in the biology lab."

Shirasaka, whose understanding of evil spirits mostly came from horror movies, asked Nanashiki Mio in an expectant tone, "For such a big school, there shouldn't be even an evil spirit, right?"

"I haven't seen what you're talking about, Shirasaka-san, but... I did encounter it once in the girls' locker room before, but that was it."

Nanashiki Mio shook her head. She had no impression of what Shirasaka was talking about, as she had never been exposed to electronic products before. So she just answered truthfully instead of complaining.

As for the school, she had to admit that the school seemed to be protected by something in the dark. She was rarely harassed by evil spirits. This was one of the reasons why she insisted on coming to school even when she was bullied.

"Well, forget it. Let's wait and see if we can meet again. You really can't force it anyway."

Shirasaka hesitated for a moment and wanted to ask if they should go to the girls' locker room to take a look, but then he thought that this seemed a bit outrageous, so he had to give up the idea for the time being.

There are so many evil spirits out there anyway, so one more wouldn't make a difference, right? Besides, he hasn't heard of any supernatural incidents at school so far.

"Okay, if I find anything, I'll tell you right away."

Nanashiki Mio leaned against Shirasaka like a kitten. She was extremely concerned about this only thing that could prove her usefulness. After all, she knew that Shirasaka was not helping and protecting her simply because he felt sorry for her.

But this is enough. It is better to say that she prefers this way of getting along with others rather than simple pity.

I can do something for him instead of just accepting his protection and care.

Maybe if it continues like this, it won't be bad?

Holding onto the corner of Shirasaka's clothes and following behind him, Nanashiki Mio looked at the not-so-broad back of the young man in front of her. Walking with him on the street where pedestrians were passing by in a hurry, she inexplicably felt an unprecedented expectation for the future in her heart.

Just a day ago, she had never thought about the future. Surrounding her were only endless bullying and accusations, as well as tragedy and despair, which made her wonder countless times why she should persist in such a life.

But because of Shirasaka's appearance, everything has changed now. How could she not yearn for him?

Secretly hiding the feelings that should not have arisen in the deepest part of her heart, Nanami Mio turned her head and looked around, trying to find something to divert her thoughts.

Then, she saw a cute boy who was just like her, holding his mother's clothes and greeting the people around him with a bright smile.

In the past, when Nanashiki Mio saw this scene, she would only lower her head timidly because of her envy for the child, and then return to her own dark corner like a mouse placed in the sun.

But now, after taking a look at Shirasaka in front of her, she mustered up the courage and responded to the child with the same smile.

But then, the smile on the child's face, which was just full of smiles, suddenly twisted, as if he had discovered some prey, and his face showed an arc like a bloodthirsty beast.

Nanami Mio was very familiar with this kind of smile. Those evil spirits would show cruel and ferocious expressions like this before hunting.

In response to this, she could only awkwardly pull at the corner of Shirasaka's clothes and whisper something to him.

"Um, Shirasaka-san, I think I found what you were looking for."

Chapter 63: Rational Utilization of Terrain

Nanase Mio knew that there were many evil spirits in this world, and they seemed to have great malice towards humans. Once they discovered that they could see them, they would go crazy directly.

But this was the first time she had seen an evil spirit set a trap to deceive herself, just like the one in front of her.

I can only say that perhaps her cowardly character before was a kind of protection for her. After all, before, Nanashiki Mio would definitely not have the courage to respond to others.

Shirasaka was still thinking that after sending Nanashiki Mio back, he should go and see if his little detective had found any clues. Suddenly, he was pulled and almost couldn't react. It was not until he saw Nanashiki Mio's tense little face that he realized something.

This monster spawner has finally started spawning monsters, right?

With an expectant expression on his face that was completely opposite to Nanashiki Mio's, Shirasaka quickly looked around and then directly picked up the girl behind him and carried her horizontally.

Fighting an invisible enemy in public is a very stupid thing to do. The main reason is that it is easy to be mistaken for going crazy in public. Shirasaka doesn't want to make herself socially dead, so it is better to find a corner with few people to deal with the other party.

From Nanashi Mio's expression, he knew that the thing was definitely rushing towards her, and he could take advantage of this to lure it into a nearby alley.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect Nanashiki Mio, a girl who can't even outrun a chicken, to outrun an evil spirit. This is why Shirasaka chose to carry her in a princess carry. Fortunately, this kind of thing happened in front of the public, so it is a very common scene.

As for why Shirasaka could run as fast as flying while holding someone, most people wouldn't really care. After all, this isn't something particularly shocking.

Only Nanashiki Mio, the person involved, buried her head in Shirasaka's arms shyly because of Shirasaka's action, and at the same time, her hands carefully climbed up his neck.

This was just to prevent myself from falling and causing trouble for him. There was absolutely no other thought, absolutely.

While constantly comforting herself in her heart, Nanami Mio's little face turned red, and she completely forgot the fact that she was being chased by an evil spirit at the moment.

Fortunately, although the evil spirit used some conspiracy and tricks, its actual speed was not very fast. Although it followed closely behind the running Shirasaka, it could not catch up with them. It could only keep roaring like a beast that no one else could hear.

"Is it still chasing?"

Shirasaka glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, and when he was once again sure that he might not have any talent in this area, he could only lower his head and ask the girl in his arms who seemed to be about to faint from shyness.

"what?"

Nanashiki Mio, who was greedily smelling the ordinary mint-scented shower gel on Shirasaka, let out a small cry of surprise as if she had been discovered doing something wrong. After being stunned for a long time, she hurriedly looked back and then nodded to Shirasaka.

"Right behind me."

"That's fine."

Shirasaka was in no mood to care why she looked strange. He just thought that it was because his actions were a bit rough, which made her feel embarrassed, which was unique to young girls. He just quickly hugged Nanashi Mio and went into a small alley beside the road.

There are a lot of alleys like this in Neon, which seem to be specially used for doing shameful things and have almost become a breeding ground for evil.

But at this moment, it became the best environment for Shirasaka to display his skills.

There was no one in the dim alley. Shirasaka, who had been holding Nanashiki Mio, rushed to the innermost part, then suddenly turned his head, like a cowboy in a western showdown, and looked at the only entrance leading to him.

"Is it still there?"

After confirming with Nanashiki Mio again, Shirasaka looked seriously at the alley in front of him, which was less than one meter wide. He had already thought about how to deal with the approaching evil spirit.

"Well, it's coming."

Unlike Shirasaka who could only see the deserted alley, in Nanashiki Mio's eyes, the evil spirit that was like a child before now seemed to be enraged, and it was difficult to see any humanity. The head was stretched and twisted like some mollusk, and the body was inflated like a balloon. Just one look at it was enough to make people feel physically uncomfortable.

At this moment, it seemed to realize that Nanamio and the others had come to a dead end. As if it wanted to savor the final despair of its prey, it even stopped its sprinting speed and instead took heavy steps, opening its big mouth that had been torn to the ears, and approached her step by step.

"Right in front?"

"Well, we're about to be bumped into."

They could almost smell the stench coming out of the evil spirit's open mouth. The fear that should have risen in Nanashiki Mio's heart was dispelled because she was in the boy's arms. After nodding calmly, she told Shirasaka about the current situation.

"Then..."

Shirasaka looked at the nothingness in front of him, but a smile of confidence of victory was already on his face. After putting down Nanashiki Mio, he put his hands together at his waist in the shape of claws and made a waving motion.

"Catch my holy light flashlight!"

He changed the release of the Holy Light from vertical to horizontal, and the Holy Light that was supposed to shower down from the sky was now sprayed out from his hands. Although there was no way to lock onto the unobservable evil spirit, there was such a narrow path in front of Shirasaka, and all he had to do was pour the Holy Light into it and that would be it.

As a dazzling golden light flashed, the warm and holy light directly flooded the entire alley, and Baisaka finally saw the figure of a monster that seemed to be melted in the torrent of holy light.

This scene was even clearer in Nanashiki Mio's eyes. The originally hideous and terrifying evil spirit, when it came into contact with the golden light released by Shirasaka, was like ice cream put into the oven. It melted directly into the oven without any resistance.

It couldn't even utter a scream. The evil spirit that was so arrogant and wanted to enjoy its prey was destroyed so easily.

The release of the Holy Light Technique actually only lasted for a moment, and the light disappeared like an illusion. Only the sudden increase of 150 experience points reminded Shirasaka that he had made a small fortune for no reason.

Sure enough, my decision to adopt Nanase Mio was absolutely correct. Even if only one came that day, I would still make a lot of money. At least I don’t have to look for it myself, right?

Without even having to confirm with Nanashiki Mio whether the thing was dead or not, Shirasaka, who had received the experience reward, clapped his hands and stretched comfortably.

As he expected, it was hard to say whether monsters were undead creatures because he had not tested them, but as for evil spirits, Shirasaka would be angry with anyone who said they did not belong to the undead.

Holy Light is a skill that is designed specifically to deal with these monsters and demons. It has excellent cost-effectiveness and high damage, coupled with a very short CD. No wonder it is said that Holy Light is the nemesis of the undead. This is really true.

The only pity is that this flashlight is only effective against the undead. For any other living race, it can only produce a healing effect at most.

Come to think of it, if a skill with a mana cost of 65, 300 damage, and a CD of only five seconds could be used on other races, would the other races still be alive?

As for the undead, they are dead anyway, so it doesn't matter whether they are alive or not.

Although Shirasaka's Holy Light spell was only at level one and could only do 100 points of damage to the undead, Shirasaka knew very well that although he was weak, these evil spirits were far less powerful than the creatures in the original version of Warcraft.

Think about it, I was at level 4 and just barely broke through the 100 health limit. It's impossible for such a weak evil spirit to have 100 health points.

Being killed instantly is completely understandable.

It’s a pity that Holy Light is only a single-target spell and can’t be used for group attacks. Otherwise, if you find a haunted house or something, wouldn’t it be fun to clear the area in minutes?

After having some whimsical dreams about happily defeating evil spirits, Shirasaka turned around and greeted the biggest contributor of this event.

"It's done, let's go back."

After waving his hand in front of the stunned Nanashiki Mio and letting her regain consciousness, Shirasaka pointed to the entrance of the alley and said.

"Oh, okay."

Nanashiki Mio was still immersed in the shock of what Shirasaka had just seen. She remembered clearly that Shirasaka had used the same trick to heal herself in the morning. The warm feeling from the holy light was definitely there, but she also saw clearly how this extremely warm thing for her could kill the terrifying evil spirit in seconds.

Could it be that Shirasaka is the legendary angel who came to the world just to redeem himself?

The only impression in her mind that could release holy light was that of angels, so Nanashi Mio had to make such a guess.

If you think about it this way, it's quite romantic.

Covering her hot little face with her hands, Nanashiki Mio silently followed Shirasaka's steps to go home. After hesitating and struggling for a long time, as if she had made some extremely important decision, she secretly reached out her hand, pinched the hem of Shirasaka's clothes with two fingers, and signed herself behind him.

As for the person involved, Shirasaka, he was very happy because he had earned 150 experience points for free, but he inexplicably fell into a feeling of disappointment.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that these evil spirits are quite stingy. Not only do they only give experience, but how come they don't even drop any items? Mercenaries can at least drop gold coins, so this thing really doesn't give anything?

Chapter 64: Pigs are like this

Shirasaka, who was obviously too greedy, brought Nanashiki Mio back home. He had just sat down and hadn't even changed his clothes when he received a message from Ichinose Kagami.

[The deal with the Magical Girls Association has been approved. They want to get to know you. Are you free this weekend?]

Although Shirasaka knew that Kagami Ichinose was famous for his efficiency, he was still surprised that he could be this fast.

I just discussed this with her at noon, and the results came out before evening. She is so efficient.

[Sure, just contact me later.]

With a light tap of his finger on the phone, Shirasaka quickly edited a text message and sent it. He could also take this opportunity to get to know other users of special abilities in this world, and at least have a general understanding of the current situation.

Of course, the most important thing is to find out whether the other party is a real magical girl. Shirasaka is still very concerned about this conclusion.
