A young love story that started with exorcism

We should have done that, but isn't Takahashi home alone? And the house was vandalized the day before yesterday, and it's still not renovated. That's why we wanted to invite Takahashi to our house..."

Takahashi Takumi was speechless now, because Yukino knew where his family was. It would be even more troublesome for them to visit him.

Rather than entertaining others, it is better for others to entertain you.

"Okay, tonight."

"Tonight? I just promised to go to Jianzi's house after school. How about you come with me to Jianzi's house after school and then go back with me later? What do you think?"

Takahashi Takumi nodded in agreement. After all, he had been to Kenko's house several times, and Kenko's younger brother Kyousuke must be looking forward to him bringing him some new and delicious food. This time, he got his wish.

"That's great, thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, I don't know what I would do..."

"Well, I'm here, right?"

Seeing that her eyes were red, Takahashi Takumi quickly moved a chair over and reached out to touch her head to comfort her.

The soft long hair feels unexpectedly silky, and there is a fragrance that I don’t know if it is shampoo or something else, but it is intoxicating at first smell.

A big hand gently stroked her head. Yukinoshita Yukino brushed it away with a blushing face, rolled her eyes at Takahashi Takumi, and reached out to tidy up her hair behind her head.

I took a quick look at Takahashi Takumi and saw his resolute and steady eyes, like the sun in the sky, shining with a reassuring gaze.

She also thought about how when she threw herself into his arms, she seemed to have the scent of Kasumigaoka Utaha. That scent was very special, different from the scent of Miko and her own. She just didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now she suddenly felt a little sour when she thought about it. But last time in her apartment, she also smelled the scent of Miko on Takahashi Takumi.

What a wild cat that flirts with girls everywhere, Yukinoshita Yukino glared at Takahashi Takumi again in annoyance.

Takahashi Takumi didn't care about that. The pair of beautiful legs in front of him, the long black stockings that went down an inch above the knees, a piece of white tender skin exposed to the air between the stockings and the skirt. The stockings were tightened and pressed against the leg flesh, which was what was called the feeling of being squeezed.

When I looked up again, my skirt blocked my view. I originally thought the skirts at school were too short, but now I realize they are too long.

The fiery gaze was naturally caught by Yukinoshita Yukino. She followed the line of sight and looked at those eyes, which seemed to be looking at her lustfully. Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but clamp her legs together.

Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino's shy look, and not intending to blame himself, Takahashi Takumi couldn't suppress his anger for a moment and said frivolously: "Yukino, you've been exercising for just a few days. Yesterday you even ran a world record-tying time, and last night you had a scare. You must be very tired. Don't strain your muscles. Do you want me to give you a massage?"

"Pervert, we are in the club room now, you can't do whatever you want."

"Hey, if you need anything, just call me."

After the two bickered for a while, Yukinoshita Yukino said a little worriedly, "Takahashi-kun, is there any way to prevent the curse master's methods in advance?"

Yesterday's incident had made Yukinoshita Yukino a bit paranoid, but it was true that one should never be too cautious about the dangers of cursers. If Yuki's mother and Haruno had died on the spot, even Takahashi Takumi would have been powerless with Senzu Beans.

However, the curse master hiding in the dark can deliver a fatal blow to ordinary people at any time at an unexpected moment, which is nothing to be afraid of for a person with special abilities like Takumi Takahashi.

However, even though Yukino, Miko, and her senior sister had reached the limit of ordinary people after eating the giant peach, they were still powerless to resist the curser.

It is precisely because curse masters are extremely dangerous that the curse world has launched a wanted list for them. However, these lurking curse masters are not so easy to find, and there is really no way to prevent their attacks now.

Takahashi Takumi thought carefully for a moment and then slowly said, "I guess the letter M in the Curse Master Group stands for money, which means they are trying to make money. They attacked Aunt and Yang Nai-sister probably to swallow up your family's property. I will ask your mother for the specific reasons and see if I can find out more about them. I can catch them all in one fell swoop and then you don't have to worry about them anymore."

Chapter 152: Shibata-san is here again

Yukinoshita Yukino also realized that her request was unreasonable, so she stopped insisting. However, after listening to Takahashi Takumi's words, she thought and analyzed:

"The predecessor of the Curse Master Group M, the destroyed Curse Master Group Q, the letter Q stands for Queen? Their leader was once a female Curse Master? Still dreaming of ruling the world?

If this is true, then the Curse Master Group M is making so much money now, I'm afraid they are going to do something big!

If they had the ability to make money and enjoy themselves, it should be easy, there is no need for such a big fanfare. If the sorcerer who wanted them knew about this, wouldn't he hunt them down everywhere?

Either they are strong enough to not be afraid of the sorcerer;

Or perhaps they have such a strong belief that they are willing to expose themselves and sacrifice themselves to get out? But do those villains have such awareness?

It is impossible for them to compete with the sorcerers in terms of strength. After all, Gojo Satoru can kill them all without any injury, not to mention the existence of other special-grade sorcerers. It is estimated that only the leader of the Curse Master Group M can reach the special-grade level. How can they compare with the sorcerers?

As for the others, could it be that someone's power has increased and they think they can compete with Gojo Satoru? That's impossible. As a sorcerer, it's impossible not to know Gojo Satoru's strength. So what's the reason?

Of course, Takahashi Takumi never imagined that anyone from Curse Master Group M would predict this. All he could imagine was that Curse Masters were all unreasonable individuals, either inherently bad or possessed of extreme ideology. This made Takahashi Takumi sigh:

"Those people are just crazy. It's not surprising that they did something crazy. It's unwise to analyze their actions rationally."

Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino still a little worried, Takahashi Takumi could only say a few words of comfort, and finally solemnly promised: "No matter what, if you find any abnormalities, you must notify me as soon as possible, and I will definitely help you."

Yukinoshita Yukino also understood that no matter what she did now it would be futile, but the only thing she could do was to make herself stronger. If she could become a superpowered person and have the strength to confront those curse masters head-on, she would be able to better protect her family.

Clenching her fists, Yukinoshita felt the change in her internal strength. Although the effect of the third large peach she had eaten today was indeed much smaller, she still felt a significant increase in her strength. However, this strength was still not a superpower, and it could not defeat a curse caster.

Looking up, Yukinoshita Yukino said to Takahashi Takumi with a firm and earnest look:

"Takahashi-kun, I want to learn Nen as soon as possible."

Takahashi Takumi said helplessly, "The most taboo thing about learning Nen is a hasty mentality. The more anxious you are, the harder it is to calm down. If you can't calm down, how can you sense the energy?"

Although he could now inject a trace of mental energy into Yukinoshita Yukino's body to help open all the pores in her body at once, so that she could see the mental energy directly, then she just had to practice entanglement to keep the mental energy in her body.

However, Yukino's physical fitness is still improving under the influence of the Great Peach, so it's better to wait until it stabilizes. Besides, we don't know what Yukinoshita's talent is. If she's extremely talented, it'll be fine if she learns to bind it quickly. If not, then it's terrible. If she can't bind it after forcing the pores open, she'll be exhausted after a while, and those with poor talent might even collapse from exhaustion.

We were still in school, so of course we had to avoid such things. And who knows, the better your physical fitness, the higher your starting point and upper limit of your Nen ability might be. There was no need to be so anxious.

Yukinoshita Yukino said weakly: "I have tried sitting quietly and meditating, but I didn't feel anything at all. At least let me feel the so-called Qi, what is it like?"

Now Takahashi Takumi is in a difficult situation. He took the Nen ability crystal directly and then learned the Nen ability. This Nen ability crystal not only records the Nen ability he learned himself, but also does not record how to teach others to learn the Nen ability.

And seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino looked a little anxious now, Yun Qi Ning could see that her whole body was a little restless. It might be because she had experienced the low point of almost losing her family, which caused her current void anxiety. This state was not suitable for practicing Nen at all.

Takahashi Takumi immediately gave her a knife, and when he saw that she was in so much pain that tears were about to come out, he said: "Don't be arrogant, don't be impatient, if you can learn the ability of Nen by just sitting still for a few times, then the streets will be full of Nen users. Next time you do this, I will spank you, or the kind that pulls down your pants."

Alas~ Yukinoshita Yukino's face turned red for a moment, and she never mentioned the ability of Nen again.

As soon as school was over in the afternoon, Yotsuya Miko and Xiaohua went to help the English teacher move things, leaving Takahashi Takumi to go to the Service Club alone.

As soon as I arrived at the Service Club, I found that in addition to Yukinoshita Yukino who arrived first, Kasumigaoka Utaha also arrived early, and there was a boy who looked a little familiar standing aside. After taking a closer look, wasn’t this the Shibata classmate who came to the Service Club yesterday afternoon but left without saying anything?

Seeing Takumi Takahashi coming in, Utaha Kasumigaoka waved and greeted her enthusiastically. Although Takumi Takahashi didn't know why the senior was so enthusiastic, he also reached out and gave senior Kasumigaoka a light high-five in response.

Yukinoshita Yukino was a little surprised and said, "Takahashi-kun, where is Miko?"

These words reminded Takumi Takahashi of the time when he would go home and ask his father: Dad, where is my mom?

Now suddenly there is this sense of déjà vu, Takahashi Takumi said helplessly: "My English teacher is going on maternity leave, and Jianzi went to help the teacher pack up her things."

After saying that, he looked at the boy in the club and asked:

"So, what exactly is it that Caitian-san needs our help with?"

Shibata ducked his gaze, but eventually mustered up the courage to look up and meet Takahashi Takumi's gaze. "Actually, I have a question I'd like you to help me with."

"Here's what happened. On the first day of school this semester, I met a girl in the park near my home. She was quite pretty and spoke softly. Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, but I fell in love with her at first sight."

"So?" Kasumigaoka Utaha gripped the pen tightly, asking with great interest, "You want us to help you plan a romantic confession ceremony? And then..."

Yukinoshita Yukino was dissatisfied with what Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "Don't be silly, he said when he came yesterday that he came to our service club because he saw the psychic consultation on the promotional poster. Put away your love brain."

"Shibata-san, please continue."

Chapter 153: Reminiscence Becomes a Dream, and My Heart Becomes Shocked

"That girl is actually a monster!"

Huh? Hearing Shibata say this, Takahashi Takumi looked at him in astonishment, but Shibata just stood there quietly, a hint of a smile in his melancholy eyes.

Did this guy really encounter a monster? Could he also have psychic powers?

That's not right. If he had clairvoyance, he would have immediately spotted the monster. How could he have fallen in love at first sight? Was this monster so incredibly beautiful that it could captivate everyone with a single glance? Otherwise, why would he be smiling?

When Kasumigaoka Utaha heard that the matter had turned into a drama of love between a human and a ghost, her eyes lit up with excitement. She immediately began to write, and the tip of the pen left traces on the notebook, and lines of text appeared on the paper.

Yukinoshita Yukino held her chin with her hand and asked in a puzzled manner:

"Shibata-san, are you saying that the person you fell in love with at first sight was a youkai? So, you have the ability to see through the Yin-Yang eyes and see that she's a youkai? But your preference is truly astonishing. You fell in love at first sight even though you knew she was a youkai."

Shibata blushed and quickly explained, "I didn't know she was a monster at first. I only confirmed she was a monster with the help of a friend. And she died not long after I knew she was a monster."

She's dead! She's dead!

Takahashi Takumi was once again startled by his words. Regardless of how the monster died, if the monster was dead, what were you doing here? Did you want to recruit help to revive her or to see her again through a spirit?

Kasumigaoka Utaha even stopped writing, turned around and stared at Shibata. "We were supposed to be talking about a love story between a human and a ghost, but how come the next sentence is about the monster dying? How can the story continue? If this plot is told in reverse, it won't be attractive at all!"

Yukinoshita Yukino became interested in the friend Shibata mentioned, so she asked, "Is the friend you're looking for helping you confirm whether that girl is a youkai?"

"That's right." Shibata noticed that two of the three people in the service club were a little subtle, but since the beginning had been said, he no longer concealed it and recalled the whole story.

It turned out that Shibata noticed something was wrong with the girl the first day he saw her in the park. The girl's hands were very cold, and the school uniform she wore was different from the uniforms of the surrounding schools. It looked more like a retro style uniform.

However, these doubts were nothing in front of the girl's beautiful face. The two of them had a great conversation and seemed to be hitting it off.

They agreed to meet every three days from now on. Although Shibata didn't understand why they had to meet every three days, since the girl asked for it, he certainly wouldn't object.

In the days that followed, the two of them got along very happily, but those hands were always cold, and apart from knowing that the girl's name was Murakami, she never told Shibata her phone number, which school she attended, or where she lived, not a word, even if Shibata asked.

Because of all these doubts, Shibata found a friend who could see monsters to help him check. Unexpectedly, the girl named Murakami was actually a monster. A monster transformed from a mountain vine, but the mountain vine was almost dead, and the girl was also dying.

There was no fear, no dodging, no concealment. The two finally spoke honestly to each other, with no more barriers between them. Shibata also extended his hand in front of the girl as he did when they first met.

Once again, a man and a woman strolled by the lakeside under the setting sun. Their frozen hands gradually melted, becoming as warm as the sun. The lake's waters were crystal clear, its surface a picturesque spectacle in the sunset. A gentle, orange-red sunset cloud drifted gently. A warm breeze blew, shattering the surface into layers of dazzling golden blossoms. A dazzling light shone on Shibata's face, but the girl vanished in the wind, leaving only Shibata's lonely, desolate figure on the surface.

"Wow, what a sad story." Kasumigaoka Utaha wiped the corner of her eyes and continued to write with her head down.

Yukinoshita Yukino pressed her temples and turned to look at Takahashi Takumi. Seeing that he was already looking impatient, she asked, "Well, I believe what you said is true, but what exactly do you want to talk to us about, Shibata-san?"

Shibata said nervously, "Originally, Murakami has disappeared, but for some reason I keep hearing her calling me in my dreams. I originally thought it was just hallucinations caused by being too sad, but it's become more and more obvious lately, and I still hear her voice in my dreams almost every three nights.

It was as if she hadn't disappeared. I had originally thought of her as a beautiful dream left to me by Murakami. I even thought that maybe we could still hold hands and continue strolling by the lake in my dreams. But..."

Shibata paused at this point, with a frightened expression on his face, but seeing that Takahashi Takumi and the other three were listening attentively and waiting for him, Shibata swallowed and continued.

"Murayuki's figure also appeared in my dream. It was quite blurry at first, but it became clearer with each dream. I thought this was a good thing, but for some reason, when I saw her clearly, her whole body suddenly turned into a twisted and hideous monster. From then on, Murakuchi's human form appeared for a short time, and most of the time in my dreams she was in the form of a monster.

Moreover, the monster-like Murakami kept asking me to go to her real body, while the human-shaped Murakami told me not to go.

What worries me the most is that my family members have been saying that they always feel like they are bound by vines when they sleep at night, which is why they are not in a good state now.

So I’m really worried and I want you to help me.”

This is a bit strange. Normally, the story should end when the demon and her lover hold hands and disappear. Why is there a sequel? And it seems to have mutated, with two states, good and evil?

So what exactly is this monster?

The curse is a spirit that is born from the negative emotions of humans, and the monster that transformed into Murakami at the beginning obviously had mutual love with Shibata, so it couldn't be a spirit.

Evil spirits are similar, basically they are created by resentment and obsession, so that monster cannot be an evil spirit.

Could it be true, as Shibata said, that the mountain vine had become a spirit and turned into a monster?

Looking at Shibata now, he didn't show any signs of injury except that he was a little lethargic. So as long as he didn't go looking for the monster's true form, where the mountain vine was, he shouldn't be in any danger in the short term.

Are monsters that invade in dreams considered psychic abilities?

Seeing Takahashi Takumi and the others frowning and remaining silent, Shibata's face darkened. Few people believed in monsters, let alone solving them. Furthermore, the monster had become hideous and twisted, looking quite dangerous. There was no reason to put others at risk for him. There was no need to burden others with his own affairs; he should just solve them on his own.

Thinking of this, Shibata sighed and said, "I'd better not trouble you with this matter."

Chapter 154: Guardian Ghost

"Don't leave in a hurry"

Takahashi Takumi quickly stopped Shibata from leaving and continued to ask, "Since you meet every three nights, when will you meet her in your dream next time?"

"Tonight," Shibata said in a trembling voice.

Oh, the time is really too tight. It seems that Shibata is really scared.

Takumi Takahashi didn't have any good ideas for a while, but suddenly he thought of someone - Yuta Otsutsukotsu, one of the four top-grade sorcerers, whose combat power was second only to Gojo Satoru in the Jujutsu Kaisen, who defeated Geto Suguru and was known as the God of Pure Love.

Because Yuta Otsutsuki was unwilling to accept the death of his girlfriend Rika, he cursed Rika, making Rika a special-grade cursed spirit.

So, is it possible that Shibata's situation is similar to Yuuta Otsutsuki's? That is, Shibata couldn't accept the death of his youkai girlfriend Murasaki and cursed her, so Murasaki is now a curse appearing in Shibata's dreams?

Meeting once every three nights corresponds to Shibata meeting Murakami once every three days before that. Isn't that reasonable?
